Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 411 Elemental Realm

Led by Yi Yu, Bai Qi arrived at the other end of the cave.

Perhaps due to the regional division, this place is filled with elemental beings, and the energy fluctuations are significantly stronger.

"The potential of the elemental race is in no way inferior to that of the dragon race. If you don't have a particular race you want, the elemental race is also a good choice."

Yi Yu pointed to the myriad of elemental creatures in front of him, and said.

"Elemental attacks? That doesn't seem like a bad idea."

Bai Qi tilted his head and thought for a moment. So far, he had never contracted an elemental pet, so this seemed like a good choice.

Let's look for it then.

With this in mind, Bai Qi began searching among various elemental creatures.

Elemental beings are species born entirely from the condensation of a certain elemental energy. Because of their pure energy bodies, they possess a superhuman level of control and affinity for the corresponding attribute energy of their bodies, surpassing that of ordinary creatures.

For example, Feng Ye's earth element is different from other creatures. He has a natural ability to control earth-attribute skills. The same skills become much more powerful when used by an earth element.

"But there's really nothing worth choosing."

Bai Qi wandered around the cave for a while, but still couldn't find an elemental creature that met his requirements.

Leaving aside the three mutant species Alpha, Husky, and Gamma, or Delta which cannot be judged as a normal species, the Cordyceps alone, which possesses both mythological and dragon bloodlines, has already spoiled Bai Qi's appetite.

It's rare that Bai Qi is leveling up first and then looking for a pet contract this time; Bai Qi won't just give out contracts casually.

We don't have high requirements, any mutant or mythical species will do.

It's a pity that, aside from mythical species, mutant species, especially elemental mutant species, are extremely rare. Bai Qi wandered around here for a long time but couldn't find one.

"It seems there's little hope of resolving the issue of the sixth pet beast here."

Bai Qi sighed, but Yi Yu, who was standing to the side, suddenly smiled and said, "As expected, with your standards, Bai Qi, it's unlikely that the pets here will meet your requirements."

"Haha... I'm sorry to have taken up so much of Minister Yi's time. Minister Yi, if you have something to do, please go ahead and take care of it. I can stroll around at my own pace."

The cave covers a vast area, and Bai Qi has only explored a small part of it so far. Anyway, they are not in a hurry to go back, so they can take their time to explore.

"Okay, then I'll go take care of some other things first."

Yi Yu did not refuse and turned to leave, while Bai Qi continued to stroll leisurely.

Even if you can't find your ideal pet, it's still good to make progress.

……

Half a day passed quickly, and Bai Qi had explored most of the elemental area, but still failed to select a sixth pet.

"I forgot to ask if they have any equipment-type pets here. Picking one would be nice."

Bai Qi scratched his head, just about to ask someone about the location of the equipment-type pet, when he saw the five members of Team Zero walk out of the cave next to him.

"Bai Qi, why are you here alone? Where is the minister?"

Wang Chuan looked around and, after confirming that he didn't see Yi Yu, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Minister Yi had to leave early, so I'll just wander around here by myself."

Bai Qi smiled faintly and explained.

"That's good, at least we can wander around a bit longer."

Wang Chuan nodded and said, "Bai Qi, are you here to form contracts with six pets?"

"Wang Chuan, watch your form of address."

Before Bai Qi could answer, Wang Chuan was kicked hard by Tan Lang. Only then did Wang Chuan remember something, and he apologized to Bai Qi with a bitter face, saying, "I'm sorry, Master Bai Qi."

Upon hearing Wang Chuan's form of address, Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No need for such formalities, just call me Bai Qi."

Tan Lang shook his head and said, "No, this is the respect that should be shown to a sixth-tier Master Xi Ri."

"Alright then, whatever makes you happy."

Bai Qi shrugged. Although the Federation had a considerable number of Legends, they were still extremely rare. Therefore, as a powerful force below the Legend level, the Sixth-Order Master held an extraordinary status.

Take Chairman Qin, for example. Although he may never achieve legendary status in this life, he still earns the respect of others.

"Master Bai Qi, do you wish to contract an elemental pet?"

Tan Lang asked, "If that's the case, Ye Ge might be able to help you."

"Oh?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Ye Ge's talent was ice, and such an elemental offensive talent was quite rare. Judging from Tan Lang's words, could it be that Ye Ge's legendary bloodline was actually that of an elemental creature?

Energy bodies and flesh-and-blood life forms... that's a pretty high level of technical difficulty...

Seemingly noticing Bai Qi's strange gaze, Ye Ge turned his head away with a displeased expression, but he didn't refuse his captain's request and said coldly, "Come with me."

After saying this, Ye Ge led the way out of the cave.

It was nearing noon, but the cave showed no signs of becoming deserted; on the contrary, it became even more lively.

"Every year, a large number of pets are contracted out in Eden, and those who can come here are almost all from the major families and conglomerates of the Federation. In the afternoon, there will be even more people."

Tan Lang explained, "However, the association doesn't need to go through all that trouble. The training grounds at the Six Towers are just as good as this one."

Are you sure we're talking about the same place?

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to hear this. He had been to training grounds before, but they were much smaller in scale than this one.

Unless, Granny Fan hid it?

Bai Qi suddenly realized, while Tan Lang seemed to recall something and said, "It is said that among the founders of Eden were some senior members of the association, but for some reason, the two sides fell out, and the association never came again."

"We were quite surprised that Director Wang specifically invited Master Bai Qi to attend the Eden Gathering, but now it seems that it was indeed a very correct choice."

"Did they have a falling out?"

A glint of gossip flashed in Bai Qi's eyes. The fact that the two major forces could fall out but not affect their usual relationship clearly meant it wasn't a major policy issue.

In other words, it must be for some private reasons, and judging from the timing, it may be related to a certain guardian.

Based on what he knows so far, could it be that the Eternal Night Blood Emperor is too promiscuous and has abandoned one of the Association's legendary creatures?

Tsk, the more I think about it, the more likely it seems?

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but since we've invited Master Bai Qi here, and the guardians don't seem to have any objections, things should be back to normal soon."

Tan Lang smiled. Inviting Bai Qi over was obviously not just for a banquet; it was clearly a signal, a signal of reconciliation between the two sides.

If that's the case, given their usual attitude towards humans, they would never be so proactive in interacting with Bai Qi.

The six left the cave and, led by Ye Ge, headed towards the edge of Eden, soon arriving at an ice field.

The ice field is vast. Bai Qi had noticed it before coming down from the floating island, but seeing it in person now is clearly even more breathtaking.

"We've arrived."

Ye Ge stopped and muttered a few words to the Ice Spirit that was wandering around. The Ice Spirit then flew into the depths of the ice field.

Not long after, a huge creature clad in ice armor emerged from within.

The Guardian of Ice - King of Ice Elementals - Aquilis.

Standing next to Aquilis was Yi Yu, who had left earlier.

"You've arrived."

Upon seeing Bai Qi and the others arrive, Yi Yu seemed to have anticipated it and showed no surprise. Instead, he looked at Aquilis beside him and said, "Lord Ice Guardian, thank you for your trouble."

"It's alright, it's time for the elemental realm to open anyway."

Aquilis shook his head, bent down, and gently patted the ice surface.

The ice surface shattered with a crash, revealing a large door constructed from various colored minerals.

As Aquilis continued to pour energy into it, the gate began to shine with dazzling light, illuminating the sky above Eden.

"The elemental realm? What's that?"

Looking at the increasingly dazzling gate in front of him, whose outline was even indistinct, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"The Elemental Realm is said to be a world created by several elemental gods during the mythological era, with the purpose of providing a safe and stable home for elemental life."

Tan Lang paused for a moment, then said, "Unfortunately, since the end of the mythological era, the entrance to the elemental realm has also disappeared, which directly led to a sharp decrease in the number of elemental life forms in the outside world. It wasn't until later that the Ice Guardian found an entrance to the elemental realm that humans were able to enter the elemental realm to find powerful elemental creatures to form contracts with."

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. First Eden, then the Elemental Realm. The Federation really has a lot of trump cards. No wonder the tribes haven't dared to make any big moves for so many years.

They are truly not to be trifled with.

Finally, the gate to the elemental realm completely transformed into an energy body, standing on the icy plain, attracting many beast tamers who had noticed the anomaly or had already heard about it.

"Today, the Elemental Realm has opened once again. All Beastmasters present have the opportunity to communicate with the Elemental Realm. No matter what elemental creature you summon, you can take it away if the other party is willing."

Aquilis calmly announced the rules, and immediately several beast tamers rushed forward, attempting to communicate with the elemental realm.

It's a pity that all that was summoned were just some ordinary elemental creatures, not even as good as those waiting for contracts in the cave.

"Bai Qi, why don't you give it a try?"

Yi Yu looked at Bai Qi and asked.

"Let me think about it some more, there's no rush."

Bai Qi shrugged. Although the Elemental Realm sounded impressive, the summons he had produced so far had all been quite ordinary. Who knew if it was like those gacha games where the pool was full of useless cards? He'd better wait until someone pulled a high-level bloodline before making a decision.

"I see. Ye Ge, you can go ahead then."

Ye Ge nodded, walked directly to the gate of the elemental realm, and placed his palm on it.

In an instant, flames flashed, and a giant firebird appeared above Ye Ge's head.

"A high-ranking monarch, the Flame-Rising Bird?"
