Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 48 - Tower Ship Sword Boat Palace in the Clouds

Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Tower Ship Sword Boat Palace in the Clouds

That afternoon, a dragon’s roar suddenly echoed from afar, resonating through heaven and earth, shaking the spirit of every living being.

In an instant, every cultivator and civilian in Tieling County couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward the direction from which the roar had come.

They saw a hundred-zhang long, azure Jiao Dragon soaring through the distant sky.

This Jiao Dragon was massive, its scales like armor, baring its fangs and claws as it controlled the sky, its howl spreading across a hundred miles, causing many birds and beasts to tremble in fear.

And on the dragon’s back, thick chains extended to the rear, pulling a several hundred-zhang long tower ship, headed toward the county.

Such a fierce Jiao Dragon, merely being used as a beast of burden, left many cultivators who were witnessing this sight for the first time in utter shock.

However, many old residents of Tieling County weren’t surprised at all; instead, they boasted to those around them with shocked expressions, for they had seen this Jiao Dragon every dozen or so years.

This was a Jiao Dragon tamed by the Beast Taming Sect, specifically used to pull tower ships to welcome new disciples.

At the same time, it also showcased the Beast Taming Sect’s overwhelming strength, planting the concept of their might in the hearts of the people, thereby making families with exceptionally talented offspring think of sending their descendants to the Beast Taming Sect.

Of course, the powerful Demon Beasts used by the Beast Taming Sect for pulling were not limited to this Jiao Dragon; there were many other types of ferocious Demon Beasts. This year just happened to be this Jiao Dragon’s turn to come to Chu Kingdom.

“Hmph!”

Just as the Jiao Dragon’s roar shook the heavens and the earth, suddenly, a cold voice was heard, followed by the sound of a sword cry. Everyone looked up and saw sword light flickering in the distant void, as a sword boat shaped like a Flying Sword approached at high speed.

This was the signature magical treasure of Taiyi Mountain Golden Light Cave, the Flying Escape Sword Boat.

Although the sword boat looked sharp and flew through the void at a very high speed, it was somewhat slender due to its shape, and therefore, its interior space was far less spacious than that of the Beast Taming Sect’s tower ship.

Not far behind the tower ship and the sword boat, a palace surrounded by clusters of white clouds flew overhead.

This majestic palace was emanating the fragrance of elixirs, and knowledgeable cultivators recognized it right away—it was the Xiaguang Hall of Danxia Sect, a luxurious magical treasure crafted specifically for them, a wealthy Alchemy Sect. It boasted tremendous capabilities, both in flying escape through the void and in defense.

Many cultivators were surprised, as they didn’t expect these three major Sects to arrive in Tieling County together, which was indeed quite unusual.

Although they all took in disciples at this time, under normal circumstances, they would stagger their routes to avoid direct overlap. This year, however, they all converged on Tieling County.

Could it be that Tieling had produced some kind of genius figure this year, attracting all three major Sects to come and compete for the talent?

With this thought, many cultivators became excited.

Although the emergence of a genius didn’t have much to do with them, it was still a topic of conversation, and in the future, it would add more weight when they boasted to others.

Even more so, if they could find out the origin of this genius figure, they might be able to get close to the genius’s family, and if they could even forge a marriage alliance with that family, once the genius grew up, they might even get a boost.

In fact, there were quite a few harboring such ideas.

Many cultivators quietly discussed among themselves, watching enviously as three large flying escape treasures rapidly approached through the air, lamenting their lack of opportunity to join these major Sects. Meanwhile, Qin Feng and other young men and women about to enter the Sect were preparing to greet the Outer Elder under the guidance of Manager Qian Jiang of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion.

It was only today that the Zhao Family disciples arrived at the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion to meet everyone, and Qin Feng saw Zhao Jinglei once again.

Of course, Young Master Zhao did not recognize him.

At this moment, Zhao Jinglei was brimming with energy and in excellent condition, obviously having been cured of all Yin Evil within his body by his family using Spiritual Elixirs and Miracle Medicine. Moreover, it seemed like his cultivation had advanced one step further because of this.

Qin Feng felt envious in his heart—this was the power of a major family, never lacking in resources for Spiritual Medicine.

However, he quickly reined in his spirit and stopped dwelling on these irrelevant thoughts. Rather than envying others, it would be better to focus on improving oneself. As long as his cultivation steadily increased, it wasn’t impossible to one day surpass these Noble Heirs.

Moreover, he had the Demon Refining Pot, which represented a great opportunity.

As the Jiao Dragon approached, a gust of wind buffeted the onlookers, causing their clothes to flap wildly and making it hard to breathe.

With a thud, the hundred-zhang long Jiao Dragon landed on the ground, its trailing Tower Ship, however, did not touch down, but floated about three feet above the ground.

The Jiao Dragon’s four claws touched the blue stone slabs on the ground, sinking into them as if they were decaying earth. The originally firm stone slabs were deeply pierced by its sharp claws.

It looked at the group of young boys and girls in front of it with some curiosity, its vertical, turquoise pupils gleaming. Slightly open, its huge mouth revealed rows of sharp teeth, exuding a fierce and cruel aura that panicked the teenagers and girls, causing the more timid among them to retreat continuously, hiding behind the others.

“What are you afraid of?”

Manager Qian turned around and rebuked the crowd, “This Jiao Dragon is tamed by our Sect, it’s not going to eat you, is it?”

“Haha, Junior Brother Qian, there’s no need to blame the children. When you and I first joined the Sect, weren’t we the same?”

A hearty laugh came from the Tower Ship, followed by the appearance of a burly middle-aged man with a disheveled beard, who lightly floated down from the ship.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Yan.”

Qian Jiang bowed with hands clasped together and then asked with some confusion, “Senior Brother, why did you come later than usual this time?”

Yan Zhongli chuckled, his face filled with joy, but he did not disclose the reason in the midst of the crowd. Instead, he conveyed through a private message, “A peerless talent with an Innate Dao Heart has emerged from Fengyang County. She can sense the intentions of all living beings…”

Upon hearing this, Qian Jiang was greatly shocked, “Talent with an Innate Dao Heart? Senior Brother, have you taken the disciple into our Sect?”

Yan Zhongli’s expression was one of pride, “With my personal intervention, success was a matter of course.

However, Taiyi Mountain Golden Light Cave and Danxia Sect also received the news and wanted to contest with our Beast Taming Sect for the disciple. In the process, an unforeseen incident occurred where Demon Sect agents infiltrated and kidnapped the child right under our noses.

It took me quite some effort to rescue the girl.”

He was truly pleased with himself.

The young girl had been raised in the deep mountains, and her mind was pure. Naturally, she could sense the intentions of all plants, flying birds, and animals. Wherever she went, the grass and trees rejoiced, and the beasts welcomed her. Even those Demon Beasts that had gained sentience would not harm her.

Such talent was indeed most suitable for practicing the techniques of the Beast Taming Sect.

Of course, it was also suitable for practicing other techniques, such as the Sword Dao. She could easily comprehend Sword Intent, perceive Sword Heart, and achieve the realm of Sword Heart Clarity. Otherwise, Taiyi Mountain Golden Light Cave would not have contested with the Beast Taming Sect for the disciple.

It could be said that any Sect would treat this girl as a core direct disciple to cultivate. As long as she did not fall midway, she was destined to grow into a mainstay of the Sect.

After Yan Zhongli had rescued her from the hands of the Demon Sect, the girl naturally became a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect.

Qian Jiang envied him.

He knew that with Yan Zhongli having taken in such a talented disciple, the Sect would surely reward him upon his return.

At the same time, he also felt a hint of loss. Fengyang County bordered Tieling County and was just on the other side of Qifeng Mountain. If only the girl with the Innate Dao Heart had been born in Tieling County, he too might have shared in the glory and perhaps would have been called back to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion.

Regrettably, she was born in Fengyang County, just a mountain away.

Qian Jiang sighed inwardly. He had been managing the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion’s branch in Tieling County for sixty years and had no idea when he would be able to return to the Sect.
