After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Qiu Shangqing turned his gaze toward Chen Xing, "Young Chen, there's a good place. Would you like to go there with us?"

Qiu Qi's eyes turned red, My dear great-uncle, what are you talking about? Why are you inviting someone else to join us on this opportunity that's been sent to us on a silver platter?

Qiu Qi's lips moved as he was about to speak, but when he locked eyes with Qiu Shangqing's majestic gaze, he immediately cowered and swallowed all the words he was about to say.

In the Qiu family, Qiu Shangqing was a figure towering and commanding as the sky and the sea itself, with words as heavy as nine cauldrons, never going back on his word.

It was also under his hands that the Qiu family, once an obscure little clan, had grown and strengthened to its current state.

Qiu Qi understood very well that everything he had today relied on the support of his great-uncle.

Seeing Qiu Qi obediently shut his mouth, Qiu Shangqing then withdrew his gaze, letting out a cold snort in the bottom of his heart, Youngsters are still too young.

Although no one in this world could confirm the existence of luck, he believed it existed.

Especially in troubled times, it was the easiest for heroes and great figures to emerge.

Chen Xing was definitely a person with great fortune. The Land of Eternal Rest was just that; there wouldn't be anything of value there.

The most valuable thing might be the beasts once nurtured by a Beast Tamer.

A corpse of an Ascension Level beast, if preserved properly, could last for tens of thousands of years without decaying.

Every drop of its blood was a treasured medicine.

Qiu Shangqing led Chen Xing and Qiu Qi towards the water marsh.

Miles of azure waves, this marsh still bore the remnants of the floodwaters that had passed through.

The Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile was summoned by Qiu Shangqing, its crocodilian eyes scanning around, seemingly sensing something.

Looking towards the depth of the water marsh, it let out a mighty roar to the sky.

The waters of the marsh were stirred into ripples, the layers of water as if pushed by an invisible hand, turning into huge waves spreading outward.

The muddy bottom of the marsh was revealed.

A mysterious underground cave appeared before everyone's eyes.

A layer of pale blue light membrane coated the surface of the cave, reflecting light and blocking breaths. Perhaps this light membrane was why it had gone undiscovered for so many years.

"Power of Laws," Qiu Shangqing's eyes flickered with understanding, this barrier generated by the Power of Laws had the ability to absorb Magic Power and would remain undetected unless seen with the naked eye, even by the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile.

Qiu Qi said, "Great-uncle, those two said that this might be the Land of Eternal Rest of the Water Element King."

Qiu Shangqing said, "Water Element King, I have heard of his name." The Bibo Territory was relatively close to Great Xia, and as a Water Element Beast Tamer, Qiu Shangqing naturally knew of the Water Element kings.

The Water Element King thrived two thousand years ago, and at that time, Bibo Territory and Fentian Domain were nearly equal in splendor, with each territory boasting more than one king, undisputedly the two hegemonic forces among the surrounding dozen territories.

Moreover, one was dominated by Water Element Beast Tamers, and the other by Fire Element Beast Tamers. Hence, they were also known by the prestigious title of the Twin Cities of Water and Fire.

The Water Element King was a leading figure of that era.

While some would address Beast Tamers with the title of king, generally speaking, the title of Enthronement is specifically for beasts.

The Water Element King was not a benign entity—by accounts from historical records or rumors, this Water Element King was notoriously fierce, with countless beasts perishing in its jaws.

Yet such an entity disappeared suddenly one day.

Some say it died, others say it was lurking somewhere, breaking through. Some also speculate that the Beast Tamer of the Water Element King died, and the Water Element King left this realm.

"This fluctuation of Magic Power is definitely of Rule Level, and the method is very clever, consuming little energy, but perfectly masking the cave entrance below; who would imagine that beneath the marsh's floor lies another realm?" Qiu Shangqing gestured to the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile, then pointed downwards.

The Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile stepped forward, extending its claw to poke at the blue light membrane.

It was like popping a bubble; the blue light membrane burst with a "pop".

Muddy black water spewed out!

It became a little fountain.

This black water carried a strong scent of decay, and the air was filled with a foul stench.

Chen Xing had long since taken out a handkerchief from his storage ring to cover his nose and mouth.

"Old buddy, just lift this piece of earth," Qiu Shangqing instructed the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile.

Without strength, one could only obediently follow the lines drawn by others, step by step, to test.

But Qiu Shangqing had no intention of going down personally; he had no idea what lay inside the cave. The simplest method was to directly lift this layer of earth.

The Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile flicked its tail, and the earth trembled.

Huge waves of earth collapsed, with fissures spreading in all directions.

Seeing this, Chen Xing spoke up, "Old Qiu, how about letting my Beast Taming step in?"

Qiu Qi furrowed his brows. This young man that his uncle esteemed had just achieved Transcendence with his Beast Taming, how could it compare to the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile in terms of speed when digging through the earth?

It was good for young people to want to show off, but they also needed to understand the situation.

"Alright, then you do it." Qiu Shangqing thought of Taotie's size; with such a colossal stature, regardless of its Energy Level, its strength must be extraordinary, perfect for moving mountains and digging rivers.

If it were put to work in construction, one beast could replace an entire building team.

Chen Xing extended his hand, summoning Taotie to descend.

A gigantic summoning array obscured the sky, with white light outlining a silhouette as massive as a mountain range.

As the white light dispersed, Taotie's oppressively huge body floated silently above their heads.

Qiu Qi lifted his neck, looking around. All he could see was darkness in every direction, with only a thin line of light visible in the far distance...

Qiu Qi opened his mouth, his lips twitching, suddenly grateful he had not spoken carelessly just now, or he would have made a fool of himself.

The things his uncle said indeed had reason behind them!

Taotie looked down, hearing its master's command to dig open the ground.

Taotie extended a claw, pressing it into the earth and sinking dozens of meters deep, then scraped backwards.

Masses of soil flew hundreds of meters, forming a small mound behind it.

Its claw pressed into the ground again, "Ao?"

Taotie felt like its claw had scraped against something hard, but it didn't care and instead increased its strength!

It seemed as if something beneath the earth was hindering it, and Taotie muttered in dissatisfaction.

After all the trouble its master had gone through to call upon it to work, how could it not do a good job!

A vicious light flickered in Taotie's eyes.

An angry roar thundered like rolling thunder.

Boom, boom, boom~

For a moment, Qiu Qi could not tell whether the thunderous noise was from above his head or from the earth ripping open beneath his feet, or perhaps it was a mixture of both.

A huge section of bedrock, hundreds of meters long and over thirty meters deep, was forcibly unearthed and crashed down heavily onto the open ground behind them.

The scenes hidden deep beneath the earth were completely revealed to everyone.

Below was a shimmering expanse of black water. Despite its depths, it was crystal clear, exceptionally pure and clear.

Within that deep black water, the outlines of scales from some kind of creature could be vaguely seen. They flashed in and out of visibility, leaving much to the imagination.

It was a snake-like creature of indistinct shape, coiled and entwined at the bottom of the water, its scales only revealing their contours in the shallows.

Under the sunlight, the giant snake's outline was motionless, leaving one unsure whether it was sleeping or already dead.

However, judging by its girth, the snake could be hundreds of meters long.

For those with megalophobia, this underwater python could lead to wild imaginings.

However, in comparison to Taotie, this creature seemed rather delicate.

"Is that giant snake the Forbidden Water King?" Qiu Qi exclaimed in surprise.

Qiu Shangqing frowned, "Strange, the records say that the body of the Forbidden Water King somewhat resembles an octopus. What on earth is this giant snake?"

Chen Xing offered a guess, "The Beast Tamer of the Forbidden Water King probably doesn't have only one Water Element Beast, right? Maybe it's one of his other beasts." Discover stories at empire

Qiu Qi, who had been watching the giant snake, suddenly shouted, "It just moved a little!"

Not just Qiu Qi, both Qiu Shangqing and Chen Xing had been observing the giant snake. Perhaps due to the sunlight shining on it, the snake's body had shifted ever so slightly.

Although the movement was very slight, both of them saw it clearly.

"If it's still alive, then it's a monster that has lived for at least two thousand years," Qiu Shangqing said, his eyes narrowing intently.

Powerful monsters are not necessarily old, but those that are old are definitely not simple.
