After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Descending from the sky and guided by Qiu Shangqing through a cave at the waist of the mountain, they arrived at the destination behind the cavern.

This was a vast area, nearly ten miles in radius, known as "Peach Blossom Paradise."

Within the Paradise was a clear pond with a small waterfall on its side, the clear water ruffled by gentle ripples.

The dense concentration of magic power in the air was palpable, forming faint patterns of misty ripples.

The water element in the air here was dozens of times denser than elsewhere.

Chen Xing looked around in some amazement.

Qiu Shangqing, full of vigor, asked with a hearty laugh, "What do you think of this place?"

"The magic power is abundant, but why don't I see any formations?" Chen Xing looked around and didn't notice any formations.

"Although formations can gather a large amount of magic power, that power doesn't come from nothing. Maintaining a formation also requires the consumption of secret treasures. It's better to arrange the feng shui and terrain directly to naturally enhance the richness of the magic power," Qiu Shangqing shook his head.

When Chen Xing heard the term "feng shui," a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He wondered if he had misheard.

Seeing this, Qiu Shangqing explained, "It's not the kind of feng shui you're thinking of, not so mysterious, just a utilization of the interactions between attributes, such as how wood is nourished by water. In places where water attribute magic power is abundant, wood attribute plants will grow more vigorously."

"The magic power here should meet the standards for your Beast Taming transcendence. There's a room next door for resting, with some convenience foods. You should rest here," Qiu Shangqing pointed to a small stone building nearby.

Chen Xing summoned Taotie.

The huge blue and white behemoth hovered in the void, floating about ten meters above the ground.

The surrounding trees were pressed down, their branches bowing low.

The vegetation on the ground rolled and surged under the influence of the overbearing presence, every leaf trembling.

The originally vibrant valley, with the sounds of insects and birds, suddenly fell silent, with no trace of them to be found.

The valley turned eerily quiet.

Even though it wasn't his first encounter, Qiu Shangqing couldn't help but gaze at Taotie with wonder, as if observing the world's most perfect work of art.

Inside Qiu Shangqing's Beast Taming Space, the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile pondered: ...so love too shall fade away.

Qiu Shangqing contemplated that perhaps even if the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile evolved, it might not be able to reach such a state.

He felt that this form might be even better than a totem, but above it was taboo, and he was unsure if Taotie had now reached the level of the forbidden.

In the end, he had never seen a Beast Taming of that quality level.

"What is this new form called?"

"Sky Scar Eye."

"Sky?" Qiu Shangqing paused, the name felt vaguely familiar, because the stele that recorded the species superior to the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile also contained the character for "sky."

However, Qiu Shangqing was certain that they were not the same species.

Because the evolutionary materials did not match up.

The materials for the evolution of the Sky Scar Eye did not match those recorded on the stele; there was not a single overlap.

Outside, Qiu Qi seemed to sense something; his chosen path of evolution as a Beast Tamer was called "Ancient Hunter."

His sense of danger was very distinct, especially towards powerful and dangerous monsters or Beast Tamings; he naturally had a remarkable premonitory ability.

At this moment, Qiu Qi's eye twitched continuously, his heart contracted, and his breathing rate quickened unconsciously.

He looked in the direction of "Peach Blossom Paradise," thinking to himself what could have been summoned.

He had some guesses about Chen Xing's purpose for coming here. Peach Blossom Paradise was rich in magic power, but there were no secret treasures. This Resource Point was for combined breeding and planting, but most of the resources were concentrated at the top of the mountain.

So the biggest use of visiting Peach Blossom Paradise was for Beast Taming Transcendence.

Could a Beast Taming that hadn't yet transcended give him such a strong premonition?

As Qiu Qi, who had been preparing to head back down the mountain, tidied up his bedding, he encountered Qiu Yu and Qiu Xiao climbing up the ladder together.

Qiu Yu asked, "Qi brother, I heard uncle came?"

Qiu Qi stopped, "Yes, uncle is here. He wants to use the cave. Where are you two headed?"

Qiu Yu replied with a smile, "Qiu Xiao's Beast Taming has reached full Energy Level and is ready to transcend, and I'm accompanying him."

"You should go another day, you won't be able to go today," Qiu Qi shook his head.

"Ah?" Qiu Yu was taken aback, then quickly understood, "Is uncle using it?"

"Yes, uncle brought a guest and said he didn't want to be disturbed. Don't go there," Qiu Qi said.

Although Qiu Yu was initially curious to check things out, upon hearing from Qi brother that uncle had a guest and wished not to be disturbed, he dismissed the idea.

"Alright, then Xiao brother and I will head up the mountain another day," Qiu Yu said, turning to go back down the mountain. But at that moment, a long and startling roar split the sky.

It was as if a mighty ancient behemoth was bellowing.

Qiu Yu immediately felt a chill run down his spine, his hairs standing on end, body shuddering involuntarily. He spun around in horror, looking towards the source of the sound.

He turned his head and exchanged a look with Qiu Xiao beside him.

Qiu Xiao drew a sharp breath, "Yu brother, did you hear that too?"

Merely hearing the sound made him feel every inch of his body trembling with a deep-seated terror.

"Heard it," Qiu Yu managed to say; just the sound was shocking enough, let alone imagining the presence of its owner.

...

Taotie had begun the Transcendence Ceremony.

Its massive body floated in midair, cloaked in a faint golden light that made it appear sacred.

Around it, a massive amount of magic power rushed in reverse, forming an inverted whirlwind.
