Beast Taming Immortal Clan

After Lei Jiao survived the Heavenly Tribulation for nothing, a great deal of "Imperial Dew" descended upon him.

The Way of Heaven is fair. Since the tribulation lightning it experienced during its tribulation was much stronger than that of other demonic beasts, the rewards it received after successfully passing the tribulation would naturally be greater.

Even so, Zhou Chun did not extract too much "Emperor's Essence".

Because he knew that Lei Jiao Bai Bai himself also needed enough "Emperor's Essence" to sublimate his bloodline and lay a solid foundation.

Ultimately, the "Imperial Dew" he extracted accounted for about 10% of the total.

Even so, the amount was no less than that of the time with the Imperial Spirit Sect.

However, Zhou Chun did not distribute these "Emperor's Dew" to the spirit pets, but instead planned to save them as rewards for his juniors.

In particular, Zhou Zhiying's Heavenly Wind Thunder Eagle spirit pet needs such rare treasures to help it break through the bloodline shackles and advance to the fourth rank.

Since the Zhou family has adopted the name "Spirit Beast Zhou Family," they must ensure that this name stands the test of time and is truly remembered.

In this way, it's not a big deal that Zhou Chun alone has raised a few fourth-tier demonic beasts.

At the very least, most of the other Golden Core cultivators in the Zhou family should also have fourth-tier demonic beasts as spirit pets.

To achieve this, the "Imperial Dew," a rare treasure of heaven and earth, is indispensable!

One day in the future, when the number of Golden Core cultivators in the Zhou family who possess fourth-tier demonic beasts as spirit pets exceeds the number on one hand, the title of "Spirit Beast Zhou Family" will be firmly established, so that everyone who hears this name will know that there is such a unique Nascent Soul family in the cultivation world.

When other cultivators who want to cultivate spirit pets hear of this reputation, they will surely travel thousands of miles to the Zhou family to seek opportunities, bringing endless benefits to the Zhou family.

The other spirit pets had no objections to Zhou Chun's decision.

In their current situation, even if they eat some "Emperor's Dew," it's not particularly useful, and it's not good to give it to just one person without giving it to the others.

Once they have survived the Heavenly Tribulation, they will naturally be able to enjoy a large amount of "Emperor's Elixir" all to themselves.

Looking at the Thunder Dragon White in mid-air, after absorbing more than 90% of the "Emperor's Essence" on its own, its bloody and mangled dragon body suddenly burst forth with silver lightning, actively shaking off the blood scabs and dead skin from its body.

Its dragon body was then rapidly reshaped and restored under the nourishment of the "Emperor's Dew".

During this period, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth actively converged towards it and was absorbed and refined by it.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun nodded slightly, knowing that everything was now on the right track and there would be no more unexpected events.

He quickly turned his gaze to a body of water a hundred miles away.

When the "Emperor's Dew" appeared, his divine sense detected a somewhat familiar aura in that place. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be the [Thunderworm Beast] hiding there.

Zhou Chun had previously refined the Heavenly Thunder-Slaying Sword, which was made from the horn of the Thunderworm Beast, so he was familiar with its aura.

In fact, he made Lei Jiao choose to undergo his tribulation here for nothing, which was also because he wanted to lure out the [Thunderworm Beast].

Because he knew very well that while other demonic beasts might be terrified of the aura and the pressure of heavenly tribulation that Bai Bai exuded, the [Thunderworm Beast], which possessed the talent to absorb the power of heavenly lightning, might actually see this as an opportunity.

For a monster like the Thunderworm Beast, breaking through its bloodline shackles to advance to the fourth rank is extremely difficult; it's simply impossible without a great stroke of luck.

However, if one can absorb some of the residual tribulation lightning power from the Heavenly Tribulation, there might be a chance to break through the bloodline shackles!

Lei Jiao Bai Bai has just survived the Heavenly Tribulation, and a trace of tribulation lightning power remains in the waters below.

If Zhou Chun and the others leave now, the Thunderworm Beast has a chance to succeed.

However, although this beast instinctively sensed that this was an opportunity, it clearly underestimated the spiritual sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Not to mention that when the "Emperor's Dew," a rare treasure of heaven and earth that could directly help it defy fate, appeared, its uncontrollable desire made its aura easily detectable by Zhou Chun, who was familiar with it.

Although it has calmed down and hidden itself, Zhou Chun's powerful divine sense has already locked onto its hiding place, and it is completely unaware of it!

Seeing that Lei Jiao Bai Bai's condition had stabilized and no other Nascent Soul stage cultivators had been found nearby, Zhou Chun naturally wouldn't let the [Thunderworm Beast] escape again.

After locking onto the monster, he first used the "Golden Escape Technique" to instantly land above the waters where it was hiding.

Before the beast could react, a golden chain in Zhou Chun's hand pierced through the lake water below, directly locking the [Thunderworm Beast] hiding in the silt at the bottom of the lake.

The secret technique, 【Golden Lock of Unity】, was cultivated by Zhou Chun when he was at the Purple Mansion stage. He has rarely used it since he formed his core.

However, using the Thunderworm Beast, which was only a third-tier high-grade demon beast, was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, instantly rendering it powerless to resist.

With a flick of his golden lock, Zhou Chun easily fished the Thunderworm Beast out of the water, just like an old man fishing.

"Little one, we meet again."

Zhou Chun looked at the Thunderworm Beast that he had fished out of the water and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Unfortunately, hundreds of years have passed, and the Thunderworm Beast has obviously forgotten who he is. At this moment, it is completely trembling in the face of his Nascent Soul pressure and does not dare to move an inch.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but feel a little bored. He immediately sealed it away and put it into his spirit beast bag, planning to train and process it slowly when he had time later.

About three days later, accompanied by a clear dragon's roar in the air, a four-clawed, four-toed thunder dragon rode the wind and clouds and flew to Zhou Chun's side.

Yes, four claws and four toes!

With the help of "Emperor's Dew", Lei Jiao Bai Bai took another step forward, going from having four claws and three toes.

Four claws and three toes are already considered superior qualities among the dragon clan, a sign of a demon king.

Four claws and four toes represent an even greater advancement, indicating the potential to become a demon saint!

Almost all the sixth-tier demon saints who appeared in the Jiaolong clan in the past had this kind of bloodline and aptitude.

A dragon with such bloodline potential might not be a sixth-tier demon saint in the future, but its probability of becoming a fifth-tier high-grade demon king is very high.

Therefore, even in Dragon Abyss, fifth-tier dragon kings of this quality are extremely rare, with only a handful!

Just as Zhou Chun's attention was focused on the Thunder Dragon's claws, the Thunder Dragon that came before him bowed and said, "This little dragon greets its master. Thank you for protecting this little dragon."

The voice was very clear and crisp, with a touch of childishness, like that of a young person just starting out.

Zhou Chun was slightly taken aback, then laughed loudly, "Hahaha, no need to be so polite, congratulations Bai Bai on successfully transcending your tribulation and becoming a Demon King!"

After laughing, as if remembering something, she suddenly looked at her spirit pet tentatively and asked, "Bai Bai, now that you have successfully transcended your tribulation, can you transform into human form?"

All he knew was that after a demon beast advanced to the fifth-tier demon king, it would have the ability to transform into human form.

However, it's unclear whether this ability is something you gain immediately after overcoming the tribulation or something that needs to be developed gradually.

After all, none of the cultivators in the beast-taming inheritance that the Zhou family obtained had ever raised such a powerful spirit pet.

After hearing Zhou Chun's question, Bai Bai hesitated for a moment before saying, "It should be fine now, but since it's the first time the little dragon has taken human form, its appearance might not be very good, and I'm afraid it might offend Master's eyes!"

"It doesn't matter. As long as we can transform into human form, we've already succeeded. What our appearance looks like doesn't matter!"

Zhou Chun waved his hand dismissively and said.

"Then Xiaolong, give it a try!"

Bai Bai nodded slightly, and immediately her body flashed with silver light, and she transformed into human form in a flash.

After its transformation, it had all four limbs, eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, but its body was still covered with dragon scales. Even its cheeks were covered with fine silver dragon scales, and silver dragon horns grew on its head.

Such an appearance cannot be described as beautiful; in fact, it can be described as grotesque!

However, just as Zhou Chun said, as long as one can transform into human form, that can be considered a success.

As for the demonic features on its body, as its cultivation level increases and its ability to transform becomes more proficient, it will naturally be able to gradually conceal them until it becomes indistinguishable from a normal human.

Those demon kings who had traveled to human territories were all demon kings who were proficient in the art of transformation and had devoted a lot of energy to this ability.

However, most demon kings are unwilling to waste their time and energy on such seemingly useless abilities and will not specifically study this path.

However, Lei Jiao Bai Bai was used to living in human society, and his aesthetic sense after transforming was naturally influenced by humans. At this time, he couldn't even stand looking at his own transformed appearance.

So, just as Zhou Chun was examining its transformed appearance, it was the dragon itself that spoke up, rather awkwardly: "Why don't you revert to your original form, little dragon?"

Zhou Chun waved his hand to stop him, saying, "There's no need for that. Now that you've taken human form, you should familiarize yourself with it. You are a dignified Demon King; you don't need to care about other people's opinions!"

Hearing him say that, Bai Bai could only give up his idea.

"Let's go, let's leave this place first."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he released the Golden-Winged Tiger, and together with Bai Bai, they rode the Golden-Winged Tiger away from the Black Mist Swamp.

By this time, news of a powerful demon successfully undergoing tribulation in the Black Mist Swamp had already spread to many places in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and in recent days, some Nascent Soul stage cultivators had come to check on the situation.

Seeing that Lei Jiao Bai Bai had successfully transcended the tribulation and that Zhou Chun was protecting him, none of these people chose to show themselves. They took a quick look from afar and left to avoid causing any misunderstandings.

However, now that some cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage and those at lower or middle levels have learned that the demon king who successfully transcended the tribulation was a spirit pet of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they are already fearlessly venturing into the Black Mist Swamp. The various prying gazes they receive are making Zhou Chun very unhappy.

However, he couldn't go on a killing spree, so he had no choice but to leave.

He was also worried that if Mad Thunder Master found out the news, he would immediately run away, so he decided to go and block the gate of Thunder Cliff Valley first.

On the way to Thunder Cliff Valley, Zhou Chun also took the opportunity to learn about Bai Bai's gains after advancing to the fifth-tier demon king.

As expected, after advancing to the fifth-tier demon king, Bai Bai awakened his bloodline inheritance once again, and this time the inherited knowledge he awakened was far stronger than when he broke through to the fourth tier.

However, as before, this inherited knowledge was rather scattered and seemed quite casual.

It contains knowledge about how to cultivate certain supernatural powers and secret techniques, as well as information about powerful demonic beasts in the cultivation world, and even knowledge about some special rare and precious materials.

It's not that this inherited knowledge is useless; it's just that it doesn't play a significant role most of the time.

Fortunately, the cultivation methods of those supernatural powers and secret techniques were of great help to Lei Jiao Bai Bai's subsequent cultivation.

If it can successfully cultivate one or two of the supernatural abilities recorded in the inheritance, its strength will be greatly enhanced in the future.

That's a matter for the future, of course.

The only thing that can directly enhance its strength right now is the innate divine power it awakened after advancing to the fifth-tier demon king.

After advancing to the fifth-tier demon king, Bai Bai not only greatly increased the power of the divine abilities he already possessed, but also awakened three additional innate divine abilities.

One type is the [Shattering Heavenly Thunder], which is a true heavenly thunder divine power. It even possesses some of the characteristics of tribulation thunder. Not only is it difficult to dodge with escape techniques, but it also has the unique annihilation effect of tribulation thunder, which can greatly suppress the target's self-healing ability.

Those demonic beasts that possess the innate divine power of the "Undying Body" will have their divine power greatly reduced, or even be completely destroyed, under the attack of this "Destroying Heavenly Thunder".

The second type of supernatural power is the [Ten Thousand Thunder Domain], a domain-type supernatural power.

The third supernatural power is called "True Dragon's Shadow," which can be described as a very famous supernatural power.

The Jiaolong clan is said to have the bloodline of true dragons and divine beasts flowing through their veins. A Jiaolong with pure bloodline can even awaken the true dragon power deep within its bloodline, allowing it to possess some of the true dragon's divine abilities!

The supernatural power of 【Shadow of the True Dragon】 is precisely the kind of supernatural power that a pure-blooded dragon can use to awaken the power of a true dragon.

Zhou Chun had reason to believe that Bai Bai's bloodline had advanced further after surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, evolving to the point of having four claws and four toes, which allowed it to awaken the supernatural power of the True Dragon's Shadow.

Given the immense prestige of the [True Dragon's Shadow] supernatural power, Zhou Chun couldn't even imagine how strong Bai Bai would be once he activated it.

But one thing is certain: he can rival a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator without any problem in the short term.

Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could suffer a great loss if they are not careful due to the profound power of the True Dragon!

After all, the true dragon is a legendary divine beast. According to some ancient records, such a divine beast is born with the strength of the fifth rank, and it is almost impossible for it to exist in the lower realm!

The only thing in this cultivation world that is related to true dragons is the Jiaolong clan, which is said to have the blood of true dragons flowing through their veins.

However, while the Shadow of the True Dragon is powerful, it is a trump card that should only be used as a last resort.

After all, such supernatural powers almost always involve one thing: the enormous strain and damage they cause to the body.

The power of a true dragon is so immense that only a true dragon's body can contain such noble and powerful strength!

There are also similar explosive secret techniques in the cultivation world. Each time they are used, they may burn away hundreds of years of a Nascent Soul cultivator's lifespan, or even make it difficult for them to make progress in their cultivation in the future. These are secret techniques that can only be used as a last resort.

Even so, with the [True Dragon's Shadow] as a trump card, Zhou Chun now has tremendous confidence.

At least the threat posed by Master Ziyang and the Yanyang Sect is no longer a threat.

Upon learning this, Zhou Chun patted his beloved pet's arm with a broad smile and said, "Very good. After we deal with that Mad Thunder True Man, Bai Bai, you will come back to the family with me to hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony and the Transformation Ceremony. At that time, the entire Jing Kingdom will know of the existence of Zhou and you, Zhou Zhengbai, the Demon King!"

Zhou Zhengbai, this is the formal name he gave to Bai Bai after she transformed into human form. In terms of seniority, they belong to the same generation.

This shows that he genuinely considered his beloved pet as a comrade-in-arms.

Bai Bai was naturally very happy about this.

Therefore, after hearing Zhou Chun's words, he couldn't help but kick the golden-winged tiger he was riding, and said with a smug smile, "Third Brother Cat, did you hear what your master said? From now on, before you speak to me, remember to call me 'Respected Demon King,' understand?"

Upon hearing his words, the Golden-Winged Tiger remained silent, as if it had forgotten that it could speak human language.

It's impossible to make it submit. At worst, it will stop speaking human language until it successfully completes its tribulation!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun found it amusing, but still said, "Bai Bai, you mustn't do that. You are all my closest comrades-in-arms. The reason you were able to successfully overcome your tribulation so quickly is thanks to Stone sacrificing its own cultivation to help you obtain the demon core. Even if you successfully transform into human form before them, you must not rely on your cultivation level to bully them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden-Winged Tiger, who had just been thinking of never speaking human language again, immediately forgot about it and nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "Master is absolutely right. You just had a stroke of good fortune and succeeded in transcending the tribulation before us. What's there to be so proud of!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Bai, who was originally prepared to accept Zhou Chun's mediation, suddenly became angry and immediately released its demon king aura, saying, "So what if I succeeded in transcending the tribulation before you? What? You're not convinced?"

Even though the Golden-Winged Tiger was stubborn, it was instantly forced to tremble uncontrollably under the close pressure of the Demon King's aura, and could barely continue flying normally!

Fortunately, Bai Bai was only trying to scare it, and quickly withdrew its oppressive aura, saying to Zhou Chun, "Master, I understand what you mean. Of course, I remember the sacrifices and contributions Boss Stone made for me, and I won't bully them just because I went first!"

After saying that, he changed the subject and said, "But this little cat used to boast and show off in front of us because it refined its horizontal bone first. Now that I have finally successfully transformed into human form, I must teach it the meaning of first come, first served and respect for its elder brother!"

Hearing his reasoned and well-organized words, Zhou Chun was speechless for a moment.

I couldn't help but sigh; the child has finally grown up and has his own thoughts.

In the end, he could only nod and say, "It's good that you understand. In short, don't say anything that is not conducive to unity in the future. Fei Hu, remember my words."

"Yes, Feihu will remember Master's teachings and will never dare to do it again."

Golden-Winged Tiger quickly responded, showing he wasn't stupid.

Seeing that it had chosen to back down, and with Zhou Chun's intervention, Bai Bai couldn't hold a grudge any longer and replied, "I'll remember what Master said. As long as this little cat doesn't talk nonsense anymore, I won't bully it on my own."

"That would be best."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, pretending not to understand the deeper meaning in Bai Bai's words.

He's already gone this far. If Golden-Winged Tiger continues to be so sarcastic, he deserves to get beaten up!

After flying thousands of miles, the Golden-Winged Tiger carried Zhou Chun and Bai Bai to the vicinity of the mountain gate of Thunder Cliff Valley.

Because they did not conceal their presence, Leiya Valley had already discovered their existence and activated its protective mountain formation.

When Zhou Chun and his servant arrived outside the protective array at the entrance of Thunder Cliff Valley, the Mad Thunder True Man immediately appeared at the edge of the array, his face grim as he glared at them and shouted, "Zhou Chun, what exactly do you intend to do by coming to the outside of my Thunder Cliff Valley in such a grand manner?"

Faced with his clearly unconvinced words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but chuckle mockingly, "What? Is there some kind of dragon's den or tiger's lair outside your Thunder Cliff Valley gate that I can't come?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid with me!"

Master Kuang Lei's face darkened, and he angrily shouted, "Let me tell you, this is the Great Zhou Kingdom, not a place where you can run wild! You'd better get back to your Jing Kingdom immediately!"

"Old man, are you giving me too much face, Zhou?"

Zhou Chun's smile vanished, and his expression instantly turned cold.

He glared at Master Kuang Lei without any politeness and shouted, "Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at me, Zhou?"

"Why has Zhou come here today? Don't you have any idea, old man? Aren't you just acting so furious because you feel guilty?"

This outburst, delivered in front of thousands of disciples of Leiya Valley and numerous members of the Wang family, was truly a wake-up call.

Hearing their sect and ancestor being insulted like this, the disciples of Leiya Valley and the members of the Wang family all changed their expressions, and many of them showed righteous indignation.

After all, in the eyes of some young cultivators, or those who take pride in their sects and families, the ancestor, Mad Thunder True Man, is the person they respect and love the most.

How could they not be angry when their idols were insulted like this?

However, despite their anger, they knew they were insignificant beings, unworthy to speak with a Nascent Soul cultivator. Therefore, they couldn't help but look towards Master Kuang Lei, hoping he would step forward and deliver a powerful rebuttal.

However, to their surprise and disappointment, Master Kuang Lei chose to remain silent in the face of Zhou Chun's angry outburst and did not respond immediately.

What surprised them even more was that after a period of silence, Master Kuang Lei said in a weak tone, "A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Although I made an agreement with Master Zi Yang, I ultimately did not put it into practice. Even if you, Zhou Zhengchun, are powerful, you should know the principle that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Do you intend to use this as an excuse to destroy my Leiya Valley? Don't forget that this is the Great Zhou Kingdom!"

I'd like to recommend my friend "Lazy Lazy"'s new book, "Living a Life of Cultivation in the Immortal World." The path of cultivation is filled with bones, including peerless geniuses, holy sons of demonic sects, and venerable figures of immortal sects.

The path of spiritual cultivation is long, and Lu Yuan deeply understands one principle;

If you can survive, never stand out!
