Starting with a useless yellow dog, he swept through the immortal realm.

"Very good, Song Xun, it seems that Xuanjizi was right, your talent for beast taming is outstanding."

Lin Canghai now agrees with Xuanjizi's assessment of Song Xun and speaks affirmatively.

Even Zhou Qin, the peak master of Zhenmo Peak, felt that Song Xun's talent was indeed outstanding, so he didn't say anything more.

"Song Xun, now that you have returned to the sect, the Beast Taming Sect will be your home from now on. Xuanjizi is also an excellent peak master of my sect."

"He wrote to us earlier, strongly recommending you to be the peak master of Qingxuan Peak. After some discussion, we decided to prioritize Xuanjizi's last words and appoint you as the peak master of Qingxuan Peak. Do you have confidence?"

Everyone present already had a general understanding of Song Xun's background from Xuanjizi's letter, so Lin Canghai went straight to the point and asked Song Xun if he was confident.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, I am confident in my ability to serve as the Peak Master of Qingxuan Peak."

Song Xun answered neither humbly nor arrogantly. In fact, everyone present was also curious about Song Xun's response to this question. After all, a peak master needs not only seniority and strength, but also good character.

Song Xun currently lacks both the qualifications and the strength. If he doesn't even have confidence in himself to serve as the peak master, then it means he definitely can't be a good peak master.

"Are you aware of the current situation at Qingxuan Peak?"

"I know a little about it; Qingxuan Peak is currently somewhat desolate."

"It's not exactly desolate, but if it weren't for the fact that the sect's structure is still intact, Qingxuan Peak would almost be a rotten hill."

Zhou Qin spoke again at this moment, but Song Xun ignored him and continued to wait for Lin Canghai's question.

Song Xun was naturally aware of Qingxuan Peak's status within the Beast Taming Sect, but since this was his master's branch, he was determined to obtain it and would definitely protect his master's legacy.

"What are your plans for taking over Qingxuan Peak?"

"I have three points. I know that to serve as the peak master, one must be able to command respect from the masses, so the first point is to improve my cultivation as quickly as possible. The second is to reopen the lineage of destiny at Qingxuan Peak so that Master's legacy will not be taken away. The third is to actively undertake sect affairs and cultivate good disciples."

Song Xun's answer, delivered without hesitation and with neither arrogance nor servility, won the approval of many present.

Since the decision has been made to let Song Xun succeed as the peak master, and he himself is confident, then let's give him a chance to prove himself.

"Alright, after the inauguration ceremony tomorrow, you will officially become the peak master of Qingxuan Peak."

Just as Song Xun was about to reply, Lin Canghai spoke again.

"But you yourself know that your qualifications are still shallow. Although your cultivation is among the top in your generation, it is far from enough to serve as the peak master."

"Therefore, the sect has decided to arrange eight trials for you, each with questions set by one of the eight peak masters present. Until you complete all eight trials, you will only serve as the acting peak master of Qingxuan Peak. Are you willing?"

"I am willing, and I will complete the trials of each peak master."

Song Xun agreed, and then bowed to the eight peak masters on his left and right.

"This is for your own good. Your cultivation level is not low, but there are many disciples in the sect whose cultivation level is higher than yours. You need to win their trust and quell the negative voices within the sect."

Seemingly worried that Song Xun might feel that the sect was immediately setting a difficult example for him, Lin Canghai offered an explanation on Song Xun's behalf.

"Thank you for your trouble, Sect Master and all the Peak Masters. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

After the meeting, Lin Canghai arranged for Zhang Qianchen to take Song Xun to Qingxuan Peak. The day before yesterday, when he learned that Song Xun was about to return to the sect, he had already arranged for his disciples to tidy up Qingxuan Peak inside and out.

Upon reaching Qingxuan Peak, Song Xun felt that it was slightly more dilapidated than the other branch peaks he had passed, but it was not as desolate as he had imagined.

Around Qingxuan Peak, there are a few scattered rows of houses, which look somewhat dilapidated. In the very center is the Peak Master Hall, and behind the Peak Master Hall are several rows of relatively well-decorated houses. In front of the Peak Master Hall is a martial arts training ground.

This was the place where he would be living for a long time in the future, and Song Xun naturally examined it very carefully.

"This is it. That's the Peak Master's courtyard. His disciples prepared your daily necessities yesterday."

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Song. When we meet again tomorrow, I'll have to call you Peak Master Song."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Zhang."

Song Xun thanked Zhang Qianchen, and then Zhang Qianchen left first. Song Xun then took Huang Bulang to stroll around Qingxuan Peak.

"It looks pretty good. This will be our home from now on, Dog Bro."

"Not bad, not bad, I, Doggy, am living in a big courtyard now."

Huang Bulang was also wandering around at this time. Living here was much better than his previous "cave dwelling".

"Old Song, I discovered today that quite a few disciples are hostile towards us. Although it's not purely malicious, I estimate that many people have objections to your appointment as the peak master."

Huang Bulang was very sensitive to hostility. Today, Song Xun had been very resentful of more than just one or two people on the two journeys he took with Zhang Qianchen into the sect and then to Qingxuan Peak.

"That's natural, but it's alright, Brother Dog. If we do our job as peak masters well and improve our cultivation, no one will look down on us anymore."

......

As night fell, Song Xun lay in the main house of the main courtyard of Qingxuan Peak. Huang Bulang had already curled up on the stool and fallen asleep. Song Xun quietly flipped through "The Immortal Record of the Beast Path".

[First Beast Tamer: Dao Embryo Beast Spirit Egg (Incubating)]

The spirit beast inside the egg breathes in spiritual energy, which is then simultaneously shared with the host.

[Second Beast Tamer: Azure-Yellow Dog (Huang Bulang)]

[Cultivation Level: Early Stage of Core Formation Realm]

【The Daoist Tradition: The True Meaning of Instantaneous Movement (Introduction)】

[Combat Skill: Short-range Teleportation]

[Tao Neng Points: 63]

Aside from the higher amount of Dao Energy Points awarded after defeating Tiger Three, Huang Bulang would receive several Dao Energy Points at the time of the daily settlement on the other days, accumulating a total of 13 points.

Huang Bulang currently has too few combat skills, and he has only just begun to grasp the true meaning of Instant Shadow. However, once he reaches the late stage of Core Formation, he should be able to accumulate enough Dao Energy Points to upgrade Huang Bulang.

The spirit beast egg has not yet hatched, and it is unknown how long it will take, but Song Xun's overall strength is already much greater than it was a few days ago when he was hiding behind the box.

Although he didn't know what trials the peak masters would arrange for him, Song Xun was confident that he would be able to complete them.

Next, prepare to complete the trials of each peak master, and at the same time, try to improve your cultivation level quickly. Taking on sect missions to improve your daily evaluation is a good choice.

Song Xun then took out many insights and annotations on the Dao of Bonds from his storage ring. These insights still contained the Dao of Bonds, and he needed to find a suitable beast to inherit them as soon as possible.

After all, according to the rules of this world, the Path of Bonds is already vacant, and the True Meaning Controllers under its jurisdiction have all become aware of this to some extent, so it cannot be allowed to be taken by someone else first.

Although this Daoist insight cannot directly enable a cultivator to comprehend the Lesser Dao of Bindings, having even a trace of this Daoist insight will definitely allow them to comprehend it faster than other cultivators under the same Daoist lineage.

With that thought, Song Xun drifted into the most peaceful sleep he had had in days.
