Eternal Beast Taming Family

In this world of shadows, a black dragon almost identical to the one in front of Chu Shengyuan slowly rose into the air from behind him.

A dragon pearl gleaming with dark light was spat out from the mouth of the black dragon behind him, which slowly took over control of this shadow realm.

Chu Shengyuan sat cross-legged atop the Black Dragon Emperor's head, gently patting the dragon's horns beside him.

One last look at the mountain scenery, frozen in the shadows, seemingly wanting to descend but having lost its bearings, forever maintaining a hazy state.

The terrifying gaze that emanated from the mountain scenery, belonging to the Celestial Venerable, had vanished.

"Is this giving up?" Chu Shengyuan wondered.

However, he did not linger there for long, and spoke softly to the Black Dragon Emperor beneath him.

"Let's go."

The black dragon slowly emerged from the shadow realm and met Chu Shengfan and Chu Shengyu, who had been waiting for a long time, on the outside.

Seeing Chu Shengyuan emerge safely, the two brothers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"How is the situation now?"

"That Celestial Venerable's attention seems to have shifted elsewhere. Judging from the current situation, concealing the location coordinates for a hundred years should not be a problem."

Then Chu Shengyuan smiled at Chu Shengfan, "Big brother, I've now advanced to the Radiant Rank. Should I help you sort out all the forbidden areas within the Mortal Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Shengfan shook his head slightly, "No need. I will use them as my whetstone, and they are also the key to my advancement to the Radiant Rank."

"However, Xiao Yuan, in the upcoming great era, one Radiant-rank Origin Beast won't be enough; the rest must be acquired as soon as possible."

Faced with his elder brother's advice, Chu Shengyuan smiled and replied, "It's alright. Once one of them advances to the Radiant Rank, it will be much easier for the others to advance as well."

Xiaoyu, on the other hand, needs to find her own path as soon as possible.

"Me?" Caught off guard by being called out, Chu Shengyu paused for a moment, then scratched his chin.

"I am not always following my own path. As long as my two elder brothers' dynasties gradually prosper and their populations grow, giving back to the Dream Realm, perhaps my path to becoming emperor will not be slower than my elder brother's."

Chu Shengfan and Chu Shengyuan thought about it and realized that it was true; the path Xiaoyu was taking now was the most suitable for him, and the path to advancement was simpler.

As more high-level contract masters enter the Dream Realm to cultivate, their cultivation level will steadily increase, and breaking through to the Radiant Rank seems to be a natural progression.

But looking across the world, it seems that only Chu Shengyu can walk this path.

Unless another person with the same talent as his contract master appears, as Chu Zu advanced in his realm, he told them that some talents in the world are unique.

Only one person in the world can possess this talent, and for it to be reproduced, the previous person with this talent must pass away completely.

Chu Shengyu's "Dream of Eternity" is one of them.

In other words, no one can replicate his current path in the dream world at present.

The three brothers stayed in the Misty Serpent Swamp, now outside the Shadow Realm, for three more days. After confirming that the Shadow Realm was very safe and that no accidents had occurred, they prepared to leave and go about their own business.

However, before the three brothers could separate, their respective "Ten Thousand Mile Books" sent them a very urgent message.

"Chu Qinhui: Your grandfather is unwell, please return immediately."

Upon seeing this message, the three of them froze on the spot, wondering why their grandfather, who had lived peacefully in Wandao Mountain for many years, would suddenly have health problems.

After realizing what had happened, Chu Shengfan did not send a single message for three days. Instead, he directly communicated with the "Mortal Tree of All Beings" in Wandao Mountain.

A spatial gate leading directly to the summit of Wandao Mountain suddenly opened beside the three brothers.

……

Wandaoshan.

Outside the Chu family's courtyard, the three brothers walked out side by side through the huge, open gate.

Then they hurriedly entered the courtyard. In the current dynasty, it would be hard to imagine what could have happened to cause these three to show such emotional reactions.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, instead of going to the main hall where meetings were held, the three of them headed directly to the Taici Courtyard where their grandfather resided.

At this time, many maids and servants had gathered outside the courtyard, carrying various rare spiritual herbs and precious resources stored in the Chu family's warehouse.

These maids and servants seemed to have never experienced anything like this before, and their expressions betrayed their nervousness and fear.

Outside the courtyard, shadowy figures moved about anxiously, yet all was silent, as if any slight sound would become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Seeing this, the three brothers frowned even more deeply; they had never imagined that the situation had become so urgent.

Upon entering Taici Temple, there were not many people around. Only an ancient tree, transplanted from the mortal realm and hundreds of years old, stood there, its withered leaves falling, giving it a somewhat desolate and dilapidated appearance.

The three brothers knew about this tree because their grandfather had brought it back from his trip to Muyang City some time ago. He said the ordinary tree was the same age as him and they felt a connection to it.

Upon returning, he transplanted all the precious spiritual plants from the courtyard, leaving only this ordinary tree that, despite its lush foliage, was actually just a thick, sturdy tree.

Strangely enough, after being transplanted and nourished by many high-quality spiritual liquids and excellent spiritual soil, the tree only grew more vigorously, but did not show any tendency to advance into a spiritual plant.

Chu Jingyu once jokingly scolded, "With so many resources to feed it, even an ordinary pig would become a spirit pig of the spirit level, but you, you blockhead, haven't changed at all."

Despite his complaints, Chu Jingyu continued to provide this "blockhead" with the best resources, showing no sign of disdain despite his words.

But now, the once lush trees were showing signs of decay, which made the three brothers' hearts tighten. This seemed to be a bad omen.

The three of them hurriedly went into the house, where they met their father, Chu Qinhui, their mother, Jiang Nian, and their youngest niece, Chu Daoling, who were waiting there.

And then there was his grandfather, Chu Qinhui, whose face was pale and ashen.

He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looking just like an elderly person who was terminally ill.

A boy with auspicious signs of wealth and prosperity sat cross-legged on the other side of the bed, his body shrouded in spiritual energy, covering Chu Jingyu's body as if he were doing his best to heal him.

Chu Shengfan quickly stepped forward to his grandfather's bedside, reached out and took his grandfather's wrist in his hand.

The phantom of the "Ancient Tree of Medicine King" appeared behind him, and a large amount of life force was poured into Chu Jingyu's body, which seemed to improve his condition somewhat.

With his two brothers unable to offer any help, Chu Shengyuan could only look at his father, whose face was filled with worry and who seemed completely lost.

"Father, what happened to Grandfather? Why did he suddenly..."

Upon hearing Chu Shengyuan's question, Chu Qinhui, who had been lost in thought, seemed to regain his senses. His eyes were filled with tears, and his face was filled with sorrow.

"I don't know... He was fine the past few days, but today at lunchtime, your grandfather suddenly turned pale and fainted, and he's been like that ever since."

His cultivation level also continued to decline to lower and lower realms.

Finally, he suddenly grabbed Chu Shengyuan's arms with both hands, as if seeking confirmation, and asked:

"Xiao Yuan, your grandpa will be alright, right?"
