Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 240: Chapter 237: Spiritual Tree Demon Immortal Chapter 240: Chapter 237: Spiritual Tree Demon Immortal Qin Feng’s gaze lingered upon the group of Fire Jiao Dragons, and he couldn’t help but frown.

For he discovered that even the smallest of these dozen or so Fire Jiao Dragons was seventy to ninety feet long, possessing the strength of the Demon Core Realm.

As for the few Jiao Dragons exceeding three hundred feet, they must be from the Purple Mansion Realm.

Such powerful Spiritual Beasts were certainly not something he could tame.

A flash of golden light emanated from his body, and in an instant, he merged with the Ruyi Golden Snake, sprouting golden wings on his back and flying above the volcano’s crater to see if there were any other Fire Jiao Dragons hidden inside.

A curious Jiao Dragon twirling in mid-air flew close to Qin Feng, circled around him a few times, and even stretched out its massive claws to curiously touch the wings on Qin Feng’s back.

However, it only touched the wings for a moment before leaving Qin Feng upon the call of the other Jiao Dragons, off to play with its companions.

…

Qin Feng did not mind this, knowing that these Jiao Dragons would not harm him.

Having lived for years in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, they had grown accustomed to the presence of disciples from the Beast Taming Sect and had not attacked humans for many years.

He turned his attention inside the crater and immediately saw a massive Jiao Dragon, three hundred feet in length.

This Jiao Dragon was incredibly powerful, capable of spouting flames tens of feet long with just a snort, and its immense aura made it difficult for Qin Feng to discern its exact strength.

Currently, it was lazily lying in the scorching magma, much like soaking in a hot spring.

The surging magma, far from harming it, was even blocked halfway by its vast body, cutting off its rapid flow.

Not far from this Jiao Dragon, about thirty to forty feet away from the lava river, two young Jiao Dragons about three feet long clumsily maneuvered through large rock crevices, frolicking and playing.

Beyond that, no other Jiao Dragons were hiding there.

After scanning several times, Qin Feng reluctantly asked his master Ning Wuxu, “Master, are all these Fire Jiao Dragons so strong?

Are there any other juvenile Jiao Dragons?”

“Originally, there were two Fire Jiao Dragons in the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Ning Wuxu laughed and said, “But you came too late.

Because the war to conquer the Otherworld is about to start, every disciple is trying to enhance their strength as quickly as possible.

So, in the months while you were in seclusion, those two Fire Jiao Dragons have already been tamed by other disciples.

I thought you would not choose a Fire Element Jiao Dragon, so I did not reserve one for you in advance.”

Hearing what his master said, Qin Feng’s face twitched involuntarily.

Had he known this, he would have tamed a Fire Jiao Dragon earlier.

He had been so engrossed in cultivation these past few months that he forgot about this.

Seeing Qin Feng’s gloomy face, Ning Wuxu couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle, “Because of this great war, it’s not just the Jiao Dragons; even other Spiritual Beasts in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven have recently decreased a lot.

Not only the Inner Sect disciples who have made achievements will come here, but even the Elders who are preparing to join the expedition have tamed some of the powerful Spiritual Beasts to prepare for the upcoming war.

Since you didn’t say anything in advance, as a master, I couldn’t stop other disciples from taming them.

There aren’t many Fire Jiao Dragons to begin with, only about a dozen or twenty, and it takes decades for an adult Fire Jiao to lay one or two Jiao Dragon Eggs.

Now, as you can see, only those two young Jiao Dragons here are still juvenile.

It’s a pity that your strength is not enough; otherwise, you could directly tame a Demon Core Realm Jiao Dragon.

Here, adult Jiao Dragons are common, but juveniles are always scarce.

Why don’t you choose a Water Element Jiao Dragon or a Spiritual Snake?

Or you could pick a powerful Spiritual Beast from among the others to protect you.”

“This…”

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment.

He thought about whether to save this opportunity for later when his strength was stronger.

After all, there would be more varieties to choose from then.

However, he soon erased this idea from his mind.

With an impending battle and facing many dangers, it was better to focus on the present.

As for the future, once he had made his achievements, the Sect would naturally grant him more rewards, and he wouldn’t have to worry about not having opportunities to tame other Spiritual Beasts.

Besides, once his strength was substantial, he could forcibly subdue those ferocious Demon Beasts roaming the wilderness even in the wild.

But now, what Spiritual Beast should he choose?

Seeing his hesitation, Ning Wuxu said, “It’s better to make a choice quickly.

The Sect has granted greater access to ensure victory in this war and to protect the disciples’ lives as much as possible.

Any disciple who has made a certain contribution to the Sect has the opportunity to come here and tame a Spiritual Beast.

Currently, the available Spiritual Beasts are indeed few, and even now, there are many disciples in the cave taming the Spiritual Beasts they need.

In a few days, I even doubt if there will be any Foundation Establishment Spiritual Beasts left in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven.

In the future, the Sect’s sale of top-level Spiritual Beasts will definitely decrease.

Without two to three hundred years to reproduce offspring, the Spiritual Beasts in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven will not recover to their previous numbers.

So, if you want to tame a Spiritual Beast, you should do it quickly; otherwise, there will only be fewer options later.”

Is it that severe?

Qin Feng was somewhat astonished.

After thinking for a moment, he quickly said, “Master, please help me select a powerful Spiritual Beast.

Let’s skip the Water Element Spiritual Snakes and Jiao Dragons.

In places without water, their strength is relatively weaker.”

“That’s fine.”

Ning Wuxu did not urge him further.

He had some understanding of the world about to be conquered.

When Gui Ling Ancestor and Elder Kongkong had locked onto that Demon God’s Divine Sense to pinpoint the other world, they had glimpsed through endless time and space.

Although it was just a glimpse and hard to see the full picture, he felt that the world had a richer Fire Spirit Energy.

Therefore, it was natural that his disciple did not wish to choose a Water Element Spiritual Beast.

He asked, “There are many powerful Spiritual Beasts.

Which type are you interested in?

Lions, tigers, bears, elephants, leopards, or perhaps Spiritual Apes, Barbarian Bulls, Giant Crocodiles, Poison Lizards, and the like?

Forget it, I will take you around the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven to see what kinds of Spiritual Beasts are still suitable for you.

Recently, many disciples who are about to set out for the expedition have taken too many Spiritual Beasts from the cave, and many powerful Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts have already been taken away.

What’s left are either those who have already formed a Demon Core or some juvenile Spiritual Beasts whose combat abilities have not yet grown.

Let’s start looking.”

Qin Feng nodded, “Thank you, Master.”

Ning Wuxu smiled faintly and began to lead Qin Feng on a tour through the cave heaven.

As Qin Feng journeyed forward, he noticed that there were indeed many more disciples within the Grotto Heaven.

Merely flying a few hundred miles, they had already encountered numerous groups of disciples engaging in battles with Spiritual Beasts, aiming to tame them.

Even around some powerful Spiritual Beasts, there were not just one or two Inner Sect Disciples, for the more powerful a Spiritual Beast was, the more popular it became.

Thus, many disciples were eyeing these beasts.

Moreover, Qin Feng discovered that it was not only Foundation Establishment Realm Disciples, but also many Golden Core Realm Disciples and even one or two Elders from realms above the Purple Mansion Realm were present.

However, these Elders did not need to battle with Spiritual Beasts. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Their authority in the Sect was immense; by simply showing their Elder Token, they could make those Spiritual Beasts of their same class obediently submit, without needing the acknowledgment of the beasts as the disciples did to tame them.

After observing the situation with some Spiritual Beasts, Qin Feng’s heart immediately tightened.

He discovered that among the species of Spiritual Beasts he favored most, such as the Great Strength Divine Ape, Thunder Giant Beast, Fierce Giant Bear, Fiery Flame Lion, etc., those that excelled in head-on battles, there wasn’t a single Foundation-Establishment Realm left among them, clearly having been preempted by other disciples.

The remaining beasts were either young cubs that had not yet matured, or they were adult Spiritual Beasts that had already formed Demon Cores or even reached realms above Purple Mansion, far beyond his ability to tame.

He then looked at a dozen more types of Spiritual Beasts, feeling somewhat hesitant about whether to randomly pick one or to continue choosing.

Seeing so many disciples coming in to select Spiritual Beasts, he was worried that by the time he returned from taking another round, none of these beasts would be left.

While flying, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a lush, dense forest.

In that forest, there were virtually no fierce Spiritual Beasts living, but there were some Spiritual Butterflies and small Spiritual Birds building their nests, flitting back and forth.

What really caught his eye was not the Spiritual Butterflies or Birds—he had no intention of taming Spiritual Butterflies at the moment, as these beasts were not suitable for direct combat.

What drew his sideways glance were the several dozen exceptionally tall Spiritual Trees standing within that forest, each towering nearly a hundred feet tall, with the tallest tree reaching into the skies, its crown piercing through the cloud layer above.

Ning Wuxu, seeing his gaze turning towards there, explained, “That area is where Spirit Plants, transformed into Plant Demons by the Creation Lineage, are specifically used to cultivate the Plant Clan.

The biggest Tree Demon already possesses cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”

“Heavenly Immortal?”

Qin Feng was greatly surprised.

Seeing a Tree Demon here was not strange, but that this ancient tree possessed the Dao cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal was utterly beyond his expectations.

“Don’t be surprised; that is a Spiritual Tree Demon Immortal cultivated by Elder Liuling of the Creation Lineage through tens of thousands of years of painstaking effort.”

Ning Wuxu laughed, “Elder Liuling is the Supreme Elder with the highest Dao cultivation in the Sect after Jue Tian Ancestor, Gui Ling Ancestor, and Elder Kongkong.

Even when it comes to combat power, a number of Elders ranked below her combined might not be able to match up to her.”

Qin Feng was astounded, “That powerful?”

“Of course, or why do you think the Creation Lineage, despite its few members, holds such a high position within the Sect?”

Ning Wuxu said, “Elder Liuling is the first Immortal born in the Sect after the Ancient Great Tribulation.

Her title ‘Liuling’ is not just a name, but also represents her six types of fierce Spiritual Beasts, each one is extremely powerful.

United, they once withstood a Profound Immortal Realm expert without falling under.”

“Elder Liuling’s Cultivation level is what?” Qin Feng asked.

“Heavenly Immortal Peak, and it’s said that he’s not far from breaking through to the Profound Immortal Realm.

He could break through at any time, and once he does, our Beast Taming Sect will gain another Dao Cultivated Profound Immortal,” was the reply.

Qin Feng nodded.

With Elder Liuling’s current combat power bridging Heavenly Immortal and Profound Immortal, once he advanced to the Profound Immortal Realm, he would most likely belong to the top echelon even there!

Of course, this was only true with the help of his Spiritual Beasts.

Without those powerful beasts, Elder Liuling certainly wouldn’t possess such strength.

He turned his head and surveyed the forest intently for a moment, then suddenly pointed to a vine growing on a cliff and said, “Master, what do you think about the strength of that Vine Demon?”

Ning Wuxu followed his pointing finger and glanced in that direction, nodding slightly, “Foundation Establishment Peak, not bad.

Why, are you interested in that Soul Devouring Vine?”

“A bit tempted.”

Qin Feng explained, “The Spiritual Beasts I possess each have their uses, but none are suitable for entanglement in combat.

This Vine Demon has so many vines and can cover the entire cliff; it’s not small sized.

If I’m surrounded in battle, releasing it might help me tie up many opponents and give me a chance to breathe.

While I was in the Outer Sect, I heard an Elder in the Preaching Pavilion say that Soul Devouring Vine is actually quite similar to Bloodthirsty Vine, though I’m not sure if that’s true?”

“That’s correct.”

Ning Wuxu nodded and said, “Strictly speaking, Soul Devouring Vine is a variant of Bloodthirsty Vine.

Due to environmental constraints and the lack of sufficient live Blood Food, it can only absorb Spiritual Energy to sustain itself.

Over the years, that’s how Soul Devouring Vines came into existence.

Once such Spiritual Vines become demons, their autonomous consciousness is stronger, and they possess greater attack power than in their previous muddled state.

Moreover, Soul Devouring Vines prefer to transform absorbed Spiritual Power into vital energy stored within their bodies.

In battle, even if their vines are cut, they can quickly regrow.

If you plan to use it to entangle opponents, it’s quite suitable.”

“In that case, it’s decided.”

Qin Feng quickly made up his mind.

Since the Spiritual Beast he most wanted had already been tamed by someone else, he had to focus on his current needs.

Instead of looking for another beast to aid in combat, it would be better to tame this Soul Devouring Vine Demon to help him entangle opponents on the battlefield while he took the opportunity to strike.

As for beasts suited for strong attacks, he still had the Fire Ape.

The master had gifted him many Spiritual Objects recently, which had helped heal the Fire Ape’s injuries.

Although the Fire Ape’s injuries were severe, as a mere Foundation Establishment Realm Beast, it was nothing much for Ning Wuxu, who was at the Primordial Spirit Realm.

With frontal combat and long-range attacks handled by the Fire Ape, entanglement by the Soul Devouring Vine Demon, surprise attacks by the Swallowing Sky Toad, and aerial combat by the Spiritual Vulture, he could also burrow underground for stealth attacks.

From the skies to the ground, close combat to distant attack, sneak attacks—all these tactics should be sufficient for now.

Ning Wuxu nodded, “Since you’re willing, it’s up to you.

I’ll speak to the Spiritual Tree Demon Immortal since this is its territory, and it oversees all Spirit Plants here.”

He did not interfere much with his disciple’s choice, as each disciple in the Beast Taming Sect might have different Spiritual Beasts, and how they chose and combined them in battle was up to them.
