Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger

Chapter 344: Chapter 342: The Dragon Clan in Hiding

"Following your suggestion, I specifically acquired a pair of Divine Beasts known for their speed. Once they have offspring, you can adopt one," the Saint Master said with a smile.

"What kinds of Divine Beasts are these two? Why do I feel..." Wan Gang looked at the two Mother Nest Divine Beasts and sensed something unusual.

"Mother Nest Divine Beasts. You can find information on them at Xiao Hei’s place," the Saint Master explained.

He had learned of the existance of Mother Nest Divine Beasts while researching for Divine Beasts to purchase.

Wan Gang immediately pulled up and started looking through the information.

"Educational," the look in Wan Gang’s eyes was filled with wonder.

"Alright, have someone come to set up the Divine Beast Arena. These Divine Beasts have always been in a sealed state here, not being fed or given water, in very poor condition,"

"After nursing them back to health, we’ll let them have offspring and gradually distribute them."

After saying this, Xu Feng led everyone back to the Human Clan Origin Realm.

Subsequently, a group of Human Clan Array Masters began to seal off the area and construct the Divine Beast Arena.

Inside the Xu Family Courtyard, Wan Gang excitedly produced the spoils of war from slaying members of the Red Demon Clan.

"There are four Innate Treasures, one of which is this Pill Furnace."

Wan Gang took out a small Dan Furnace engraved with Chaos Runes and handed it to Xu Feng.

Looking at the slightly jade-like small Pill Furnace on the table, Xu Feng reached out and lightly touched it.

In an instant, Divine Thought was absorbed into a realm of Nihility.

A path leading to heaven slowly emerged beneath Xu Feng’s feet.

The steps shone with a golden light, and the top was not visible.

"Artifact Spirit of the Dan Furnace, show yourself!" Xu Feng said indifferently.

"For so many years, finally a qualified Alchemist has appeared,"

"No matter your clan, if you can pass the trial, I will grant you a tremendous opportunity," said a small creature that looked like a ball of fluff, radiating Holy Light in the sky.

"Is the trial related to Alchemy Dao?" Xu Feng sensed the strength of this space and felt that he could break through easily.

"Of course. As long as you pass the trial, you will receive an inheritance of peak Divine Level Alchemy Dao," the little fluff seemed to suggest an expression of shock should be on his face.

"So I just need to cross these steps and reach the topmost gate?" Xu Feng pointed to the end of the heavenly path and said.

"Yes, you have three chances. If you don’t pass, I will disappear."

"I understand~"

Xu Feng started to step onto the heavenly path as he spoke.

"I still have something to say..."

"There’s no need for so much talk—it’s just a trial..."

Each step corresponded to a question on Alchemy Dao or the method of concocting a particular Dan Recipe.

Once he began, Xu Feng never stopped, ascending ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps without a pause.

Looking at the ball of fluff in the sky, expressions of frustration began to show.

Xu Feng stood in front of the great Alchemy Dao gate and looked at the creature.

"Are there any more trials?"

"I find it quite interesting." Xu Feng said with a slight smile.

"No more, once you step through this gate, you will receive the Alchemy Inheritance,"

"However, with your current grasp of Alchemy Dao, the inheritance might not be very useful to you," the little fluff spoke with a tone of concern.

" You seem quite reluctant~" Xu Feng’s lips curled up at the corners.

"No, push the door open. Once you do, you’ll be my master," the tone of the little fluff now carried respect, no longer radiating that profound and inscrutable aura.

Xu Feng gently pushed the door open, revealing the Scripture Pavilion before him.

"This decoration style, it’s so familiar~"

"Little fluff ball, do you know about the Hongmeng Dao Sect?" Xu Feng asked.

"It sounds like a Sect, not sure about the details," the little fluff creature appeared beside Xu Feng.

"Alright then~"

Xu Feng began to examine the Alchemy Scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion.

After looking around, he found they didn’t help much with his own Alchemy Dao.

The only benefit was that there were several divine scriptures not available in the Eighth Grade Great Dao Golden Lotus Inheritance Space, which could be exchanged for a lot of Contribution Points.

"Is there anything else?" Xu Feng looked at the little fluff.

"You haven’t seen the Alchemy Realm Master’s area, want to take a look?"

Little fluff shifted and drew a circle in the sky, and in an instant, Xu Feng appeared in the Alchemy Realm of this Innate Treasure Pill Furnace.

"Master, not sure if this Alchemy Realm will be of any help to you," the little fluff asked somewhat hopefully.

"The arrangement of this multifarious Dao has issues. It will be inconvenient to operate, and requires some adjustments,"

"Plus, there are a few special Dao that are not included in the Alchemy Realm, making it prone to hitches when concocting certain special Divine Pills, leading to failure,"

"The main issue is that the foundational structure of this Alchemy Realm has been wrong from the start!"

"To adjust it would likely waste a lot of time~"

As Xu Feng spoke, the look in little fluff’s eyes became increasingly pitiful, as if it were about to be abandoned.

"Nevertheless, it’s still an Innate Treasure after all; it can still be used after some modifications," Xu Feng’s words carried a hint of disdain.

Divine Thought returned to the body, and Xu Feng looked at the three-zhang-tall Innate Treasure Alchemy Furnace before him.

"Okay, though it has its flaws, revised slightly, it would be far more convenient than my Alchemy Realm." Xu Feng nodded.

"It’ll be useful for you, Brother Xu, that’s all that counts. Here are some other items I scrounged up from the Red Demon Clan. They should cover my travel expenses."

When Wan Gang thought of the 600,000 Hongmeng Purple Coins, he felt it was somewhat absurd.

"Keep the rest of the items, apart from this Pill Furnace."

"I am the co-ruler of the Human Clan, having you pay out of your pocket for the travel expenses of saving an Immortal Emperor of our own kind, as if I didn’t exist~" Xu Feng joked.

Hearing this, Wan Gang collected the other items.

In the Eighth Grade Great Dao Golden Lotus Inheritance Space, after seeing off Wan Gang, Xu Feng resumed his study of the Array Dao.

Seasons passed, and ten years flew by.

At this time, the Human Clan Origin Realm was still booming.

Countless commerce fleets from various Sects flew towards the newly expanded areas of the Origin Realm.

Fleets from three Sects raced alongside each other, heading towards a newly expanded Immortal Domain.

When they first reached the Nine Realms Sea, the inner territories of the Human Clan were overcrowded, causing many Sects to squeeze into one Immortal Domain.

This led to a scarcity of resources in the Immortal Domains; the distribution of them to the Sects’ Sacred Lands was often insufficient even for normal operations.

With the expansion of the Origin Realm, more and more Sacred Lands of the Sects were allotted their own newly expanded Immortal Domains.

And these three Sects were all assigned to the same Immortal Domain.

"Sect Leader Li, has the co-ruler of the Human Clan allocated a Divine Beast turn to you?"

"Our Sect’s Immortal Monarch was lucky enough to be scheduled, and now he’s receiving a Myriad Void Beast and an Ice Crystal Insect at the Divine Beast Breeding Ground," the Sect Leader of the middle fleet said proudly.

"Sooner or later everyone will get their turn; such a rush isn’t necessary. Besides, once you get the Divine Beast, you’ll still need to care for it."

"Let’s see if you can return it without saving face if you can’t afford its upkeep," jeered a voice from the fleet on the left.

"Our Sect won’t have an issue affording it," came a cold snort.

Not far from the Human Clan Origin Realm was the Divine Beast Arena.

Three Immortal Monarchs and seven Immortal Emperors entered full of anticipation.

As soon as they entered, they saw two Divine Beast mothers comparable to Second Realm of the Origin Realm.

A powerful oppressive force met them face to face.

Ten three-meter-tall giant eggs and ten Crystal Insects were already prepared.

"Think carefully about the desired form of your Divine Beast in your mind, then, during the recognition process, just project this form into the beast," said a faint voice.

"The Ice Crystal Insect can be directly acknowledged as your own. Its potential varies in strength, and it’s all up to your luck," another voice tinged with an icy tone.

The three Immortal Monarchs and seven Immortal Emperors, despite having done their homework beforehand, could not contain their excitement when the time came to claim ownership.

As the two Second Realm Mother Nest Divine Beasts recovered and were sufficiently nourished, they started birthing offspring continuously.

Currently, thirty percent of Human Clan’s Immortal Monarchs and above had received Myriad Void Beasts and Ice Crystal Insects, substantially increasing their combat power.

Back at the Xu Family Courtyard, Xu Feng’s Divine Thought returned to his body.

"This Array Dao inheritance system is incomplete, really making it tough," Xu Feng said, feeling a bit of a headache.

Even with Time Acceleration, Xu Feng felt his understanding of the Array Dao was crawling at a snail’s pace.

After studying the Array Dao for ten thousand accelerated years, the frustration he felt was denser than during the same period spent on the Alchemy Dao.

"Let the constant dripping wear away the stone; patience is key."

During this time studying the Array Dao, Xu Feng purchased all the Great Scriptures of Array Dao available on the market, but they weren’t of much help.

Xu Feng lay on something soft, eating Immortal Fruit brought over by a maid.

On a distant beach, several light-robed women were barbecuing.

"Master, would you like us to dance for you?" one of the serving girls beside him offered.

"Play music, dance~" Xu Feng suddenly felt spirited.

Twelve stunning maids appeared on the beach and started dancing gracefully to the music.

Sunshine, beach, dancing girls, barbecue, fine wine, Immortal Fruits...

This entire set-up had dissipated a small portion of his pent-up frustrations.

In the Dragon Court’s Secret Realm of the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World,

"Father, the strength of the Human Clan in Xu Feng’s world is growing dominant, with powerhouses comparable to the Great Venerates Yellow Dragon and Candle Dragon."

"There are more and more beings like you, Father," the Fourth Princess of the Dragon Court said.

During her time playing in the Human Clan, the power of the Human Clan’s strong had been increasing at a terrifying rate.

Periodically, waves of Immortal Emperor ascensions would sweep across the entire Human Clan Origin Realm.

"Alas, it seems we have thoroughly missed our chance," the Dragon Emperor lamented.

"Father, the Dragon Clan in that world is far weaker than the Human Clan. You had better give up on any hopes."

"Alright," another sigh from the Dragon Emperor.

"I’ve decided that from today onward, the Dragon Clan will go into hiding and cede eighty percent of our territories to the Human Clan."

The Dragon’s command spread throughout the Dragon Court.

All the receiving Dragon Clan powerhouses found it somewhat unbelievable, but they didn’t say much.

In the eternal cycles of epochs, this wasn’t the first or second time the Dragon Clan had gone into hiding. One more time wouldn’t hurt.

In the Holy City of the Human Clan, Sheng Yu, after learning about the Dragon Emperor’s order, began to summon the Human Clan’s Immortal Emperors to discuss the expansion of the Human Clan.

On an isolated island in the vast sea of the Human Clan Origin Realm, Xu Feng was fishing with a rod, while Sheng Yu brewed tea not far away.

"Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, Dragon Clan going into hiding; quite decisive," Xu Feng remarked somewhat surprised.

"After the Fourth Princess of the Dragon Court returned, the Dragon Emperor must have gauged the strength of the Human Clan, feeling his ambitions to be unattainable, hence the decision to retreat."
