Beast Taming: the More the Better

But when his palm touched the last page again, he frowned. The last page not only felt much harder, but it was also significantly heavier.

Su Ping's eyes held a strange look. Did ancient Beast Tamers all like to play these little tricks? So, this 'secret technique' in the last page's interlayer… was it supposed to be soaked in water, heated by fire, or was there some other method?

Su Ping didn't attempt any of those. Instead, he took it directly to the laboratory. The superconducting sonic detector took only a moment to analyze the material of the final parchment page.

Su Ping clicked his tongue and shook his head, then looked at the analysis results:

[Flowing Firefly Parchment, thick parchment double-layered; the top layer must be peeled back and placed under fluorescent or ultraviolet light to reveal the lingering text.]

Just as I expected! This is the power of technology!

Su Ping did as instructed. Subsequently, a sheepskin letter appeared in his hands.

Under the illumination of the ultraviolet lamp, the text inside was clearly revealed:

[Method for Cultivating the Immortal White Bone Sword:...]

[Method for Cultivating the Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword:...]

Su Ping smiled. Just as I expected. When someone is on the brink of death, what good are oaths? "Never to be passed on?" This was a cultivation method researched by the Fengdu Sword King himself. If the Glazed Saint Master hadn't continued the legacy, or if some accident had occurred, wouldn't the lifelong efforts of the Fengdu Sword King have been completely wasted, lost to history? Clearly, no one would accept such an outcome. Thus, it was only natural for the Fengdu Sword King to leave behind some tricks in the end. This was likely unknown even to the Secret Realm Sword Spirit.

However, aside from the evolution and cultivation of these two Sword Devices, there were also some genuine last words left by the Fengdu Sword King:

"This is the culmination of my life's work; I cannot bear to see it lost in solitude. If someone destined finds it, pass it on! Then, I shall die without regrets."

"The Sword Soul was some foolish wishful thinking in my final years. Whether it succeeds or fails, I have no regrets."

"I leave the legacy within the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal, in hopes that future generations will not forget my name, Yu Liangqing, the Fengdu Sword King!"

"Alas, I was ultimately unable to reach the divine realm, extend my life further, and slay the Ghost Gods of the Heavenly Tomb... What a pity."

Reading the last words of the Fengdu Sword King, Su Ping couldn't help but shake his head with a sense of helplessness. Even a Beast Tamer who had reached Emperor Level would one day return to dust. How high must a Beast Tamer's Realm be to truly achieve immortality?

Su Ping didn't know, nor was he inclined to dwell on it. Instead, he focused his attention on the Fengdu Sword King's words.

The Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal? Su Ping picked up the sword-shaped pendant hanging around his neck. This piece of junk actually has a name? Isn't it just a common spatial item? In modern society, spatial items aren't particularly rare because some companies specialize in making them. Among the products produced by space-related Pet Beasts, the Space Ring is the most widely used. Could this thing have been rare in ancient times?

Su Ping scratched his head. And what about this final mention of 'slaying the Ghost Gods of the Heavenly Tomb'? Connecting the dots, the answer wasn't hard to guess. It was likely that hundreds of years ago, during the Liang Dynasty, there was a place called the Heavenly Tomb, home to many Undead Ferocious Beasts. It's somewhat similar to some of the remaining human restricted areas today, where Ferocious Beasts lurk. However, there had been no mention of it in recent years; evidently, it must have been wiped out. This Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal was likely a resource from that place.

He wore the sword-shaped pendant purely because he liked its appearance and it also functioned as spatial equipment.

Su Ping shook his head, not wanting to overthink it. Compared to this so-called Heavenly Tomb, Su Ping was more interested in the cultivation methods for the two unique Sword Devices mentioned above.

The Immortal White Bone Sword. It was an Evolutionary Body of the Rotten Sword, an Elite Level Racial Potential Artifact Pet Beast. It was a Peak Command Evolutionary Body, cultivated from at least an Elite Level Skeleton Warrior and supplemented by a series of resources.

I'm not the same Su Ping as before; such Evolutionary Bodies seem relatively ordinary to me now. The final evolutionary potential only increased by one Great Realm. If it weren't for the subsequent Second Stage Evolution that directly reached the Emperor Peak Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword, I might have glanced at it once and then paid it no further attention.

The Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword… now this Evolutionary Body is truly intriguing. An Artifact Pet Beast capable of directly slaying those of the Necromancy System, with significant damage enhancement against Ghost Soul types of the Necromancy System, was extremely rare. Therefore, discovering this evolutionary cultivation method is of great interest to me. The evolution of the Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword is also fascinating. There's no need to elaborate on the plethora of evolution steps and required resources. The final evolution, however, has a particularly special standard: it required slaying a certain number of Undead Pet Beasts, and even needing to slay Monarch Level Undead Pet Beasts of a higher rank! Evolution that actually required killing…

Undoubtedly, this once again gave me an eye-opening discovery. The evolution of Pet Beasts in the Beast Tamer world can take on all sorts of possibilities, including the Paperman's Paper Body Joint. If I didn't have the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, who would have imagined that the Paperman, which showed no signs of any evolutionary trigger, would evolve in such a way?
