Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Daoxuan was born to Nan Li and was the first child of the fourth generation of the Chu family, with the character "Dao" in his name.

To welcome the birth of this baby, the Chu family not only held a sacrificial ceremony to accumulate blessings for him, but also halved the taxes of the hundred cities under his jurisdiction for ten years, and built a new city for him, which was named Daoxuan City.

On the day Chu Daoxuan was born, phantom images of dragons and phoenixes appeared in the sky, dancing as if blessing Chu Daoxuan's birth.

After flying for about half an hour, it finally merged into Chu Daoxuan's body, carrying spiritual energy and the rules of heaven and earth.

Chu Mu examined Chu Daoxuan's information and discovered that he had already awakened the talent of a Contract Master.

"Dragon and Phoenix Sacred Seal: Regardless of the source beast it contracts with, the source beast will eventually evolve into a dragon and phoenix form, and its own blood contains the inheritance of both true dragon and true phoenix, which can enable the source beast to awaken the dragon and phoenix bloodline."

After learning of Chu Daoxuan's talent, the Chu family members were both delighted by his exceptional abilities and worried about his future, since such a bloodline was highly coveted.

If they were imprisoned and their blood extracted, how many powerful dragon and phoenix beasts could be cultivated?

Therefore, the Chu family was extremely concerned about his safety. They not only dispatched the two Cheng brothers who were by Chu Shengyuan's side to protect him at all times, but also sent their contracted source beast, "Cloudwood Azure Dragon," to accompany and protect him.

As Chu Daoxuan grew up, on his twelfth birthday, May 5th of the 47th year of the First Saint Calendar, his family allowed him to contract his first Source Beast.

As soon as dawn broke, Chu Daoxuan couldn't wait to get out of bed.

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Previously, his elders always used the excuse of his safety to prevent him from contracting source beasts, and he rarely even had contact with source beasts. He could only get close to and touch the source beasts contracted by his family members.

The moment he made the slightest movement, the Cheng brothers, who were guarding the outer room, immediately noticed it.

They quickly snapped out of their meditation and looked at Chu Daoxuan. Cheng Yuanfeng, the younger of the Cheng brothers, scratched his head and asked, puzzled:

"It's not dawn yet, Young Master Xuan, you can rest a little longer."

Chu Daoxuan straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, then stepped into the courtyard.

"It's getting late, it's already... five o'clock, and people are already starting to go to work on the mountain."

"Young Master Xuan, where did you hear that? Our Chu family changed its rules a long time ago. Several years ago, we stopped allowing anyone to work before eight o'clock. That's against the Chu family's laws."

Chu Daoxuan paused slightly, then continued walking out of the courtyard as if nothing had happened. He couldn't very well say that he had heard his ancestor Chu tell him in the ancestral hall that such a time was very tiring.

"I don't care, it's my birthday today, I'm the oldest, I'm going to find my great-grandfather."

Chu Daoxuan's courtyard was not far from the courtyards of his elders. He didn't even think about going to his parents' courtyard, and went straight to Chu Jingyu's courtyard next to the ancestral hall.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, I saw my grandfather looking at some documents in the yard, just as I expected.

When he was very young, he thought his grandfather worked very hard, having to stay up all night to process official documents.

However, after learning about the source beasts, the high-level contract masters didn't need to sleep for a long time, and handling official documents was also a form of rest for my great-grandfather, so he gradually lost that desire.

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Chu Jingyu didn't even look up, but knew who had entered. A slight smile played on his lips.

"I knew you would come early, but you're a little later than I expected. If it were your dad, who's so impatient, he probably would have come looking for me right after midnight."

The Cheng brothers stood outside the courtyard gate waiting. Chu Daoxuan crossed the courtyard and came to the table.

Chu Daoxuan and Chu Shengyuan looked somewhat alike when they were young. They both had soft, chubby faces, round eyes with black pupils that filled most of their eyes, revealing a childlike innocence.

"Great-grandfather, am I much better than my father?"

Chu Jingyu put down the document in his hand, reached out and patted Chu Daoxuan's head.

"Yes, he's much more composed than your father. However, if we want to contract a source beast, we need to go to the ancestral hall to pay respects to Ancestor Chu before we can go. It's still early, and we're afraid of disturbing Ancestor Chu's rest. Why don't we have a family feast first?"

Hearing this, Chu Daoxuan was slightly disappointed. "Ah, okay."

A moment later, in the Chu family's banquet hall, Chu Jingyu led Chu Daoxuan to his seat, and then the rest of the Chu family members arrived one after another from different courtyards.

Similarly, Chu Shengfan and Chu Shenghan still appeared somewhat illusory.

When Chu Shengyuan arrived in the courtyard, he pulled Chu Daoxuan into his arms and teased, "You're too immature, aren't you? It's only been a short time and you're already up and about. Unlike your old man."

Chu Daoxuan, however, was not angry at all. Instead, he raised his head and said:

"Grandpa said that if it were you, you would have to get up at noon."

Chu Shengyuan's mocking expression instantly froze. "Hey, you little brat..."

Jiang Nian stepped out from behind him and rescued Chu Daoxuan from Chu Shengyuan's clutches. She then patted Chu Shengyuan on the shoulder and said, "You're a father now, why are you still acting like a child?"

Chu Shengfan placed his palm on the table and spoke softly.

"Xiao Xuan, your uncle has a gift for you, both to celebrate your twelfth birthday and to wish you a great success in your first contract with a source beast."

Chu Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he obediently ran to Chu Shengfan, looking at him expectantly, "Uncle, what's the gift?"

Chu Shengfan pointed outside the door, and a golden flash shone from behind the Chu family's residence. The top of the "Mortal Tree of All Beings" slowly drooped down in the courtyard, and a leaf as green as jade, with golden patterns on it, slowly fell in front of Chu Daoxuan.

"This is a spatial leaf specially created by the Mortal Tree by consuming its essence. It contains a space of a thousand miles and can hold living things."

In this world, everything you need to do, whether it's planting or storing things, is incredibly convenient.

Chu Daoxuan happily accepted the leaf, which was about half the size of his palm, and then cheerfully thanked Chu Shengfan.

"Thank you, Uncle. I really like this gift."

"Come, come, not only does your uncle have a gift, but your father does too."

Chu Shengyuan beckoned to Chu Daoxuan, then took off the bracelet he always wore on his wrist and handed it to Chu Daoxuan.

"This string of beads is a treasure that your mother and I found in Chuyan City many years ago. It's called the Twenty-Four Dragon Balls String, and it's very compatible with your constitution. We hope you'll make good use of it in the future."

"Strive to become strong as soon as possible to protect the family."

Chu Shengyuan looked at Chu Daoxuan with a very gentle gaze. His child was about to begin contracting with a source beast, and he was actually a little nervous inside.

Although the source beasts prepared by the family were all top-notch, he and Nan Li had already looked at them and selected them again and again to ensure that the ones that Chu Daoxuan could come into contact with were definitely the best.

However, they also gave Chu Daoxuan the right to choose for himself. It is unknown which of the source beasts in the Beast Academy will catch Chu Daoxuan's eye.
