Immortal through Beast Taming

"Further observation? With your cultivation, trying to spy on such a genius's specifics, just wait for the backlash."

"In the direction of the Ancient Domain... Hidden Dragon Academy is holding the autumn trials there. After each trial, the ranking of talents will change, which is normal. Your senior brother, Huai Hua, has personally gone to the Ancient Domain."

An elder with white hair and beard walked out from the depths of the pavilion, glancing at the changes in the star signs on the star chart, slightly stunned.

"Sure enough, a 'wild genius,' almost not tied to the sect's fortune. Is this the disciple of some Independent Cultivator Powerhouse?"

"Strange, why is the color of this fortune a bit black, surely it's not a spy from the Demonic Sect? Should we notify Hidden Dragon Academy?"

"Master, I'll go notify them!" The young girl was eager to try.

"Celestial Secret Tower disciples, must undergo fifty years of astrology and thirty years of fortune telling before entering the world, a total of eighty years of hard cultivation. You're far from going out," the elder stated indisputably.

…

The Cangmang Mountain Range, vast and boundless, at extreme heights, numerous powerhouses stood in the air, their Divine Sense enveloping the mountain range, were precisely the cultivators from the academy and Celestial Secret Tower.

Celestial Secret Tower Cultivators can know many things by observing the secrets of heaven, such as which prodigy is about to suffer a setback, which prodigy's fortune will soon reverse, but "heavenly secrets should not be easily leaked," nor will Celestial Secret Tower Cultivators deduce any future entirely.

In most cases, without significant benefits, Celestial Secret Tower Cultivators will only observe a sign or indication and then personally visit the site to witness the conclusion, verifying it.

If the real-world outcome matches their observed situation, the power of Celestial Secret Tower Cultivators will increase to some extent.

Celestial Regret Flower, a disciple of Celestial Secret Tower, is the only representative from Celestial Secret Tower at this academy autumn trial. The true disciples of Celestial Secret Tower are pitifully few, their secret techniques greatly value talent. Throughout the years, the core personnel of Celestial Secret Tower have never exceeded ten, more members are powerful Honored Guest Elders, voluntarily joining Celestial Secret Tower out of gratitude.

Although Celestial Regret Flower is only at Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation, the academy professors present all respect him greatly.

After all, this Nascent Soul of Celestial Regret Flower could freely invite Celestial Secret Tower's Divinity Transformation Honored Guest Elders to take action.

"I observed that this time a genius cultivator without a sect will have a change in fortune, ascending the talent ranking." Celestial Regret Flower glanced at the Cangmang Mountain Range, smiling slightly.

"A genius without a sect?" The academy can have another talent ranking genius, naturally, the many professors are pleased, especially after hearing it's a genius without a sect, they are even more excited.

This kind of loose cultivator genius, Hidden Dragon Academy indeed has a small portion, compared to geniuses with background, they are more beloved by the academy, cherished by the professors.

Loose cultivators, represent being more easily recruited as disciples and introducing the forces behind them!

Although sect-affiliated cultivators can also "switch sects," it's too troublesome, comparatively, loose cultivator geniuses are like a blank slate.

Even in official positions, they can get promoted faster than sect cultivators.

"Just want to see who it will be." Cao Zhiwei and the academy professors have been recalling but, even after pondering for a long time, couldn't remember which loose cultivator genius in the academy presently has hope of entering the talent ranking.

Loose cultivators ultimately lack some foundation compared to sect inherited cultivators.

Accompanied by one light after another transmitting to the Cangmang Mountain Range, everyone looked towards a particular figure among them.

This person was the luckiest among hundreds of transmitters, precisely transmitted beside a mid-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast.

"Fang Shilin, from Changchun Valley, Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation."

An academy professor recognized this individual's identity.

"He was the last in the freshman assessment from the top previous sessions, but facing a mid-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast should not be an issue, right?"

Fang Shilin, in a green robe, looked calmly at the nearby giant python.

"A mere Snake Demon." He appeared indifferent, and in the next instant, a red shadow flew out of his pocket, instantly piercing through the python's skull, the giant python immediately perished, actually resolved in a second.

"Well done." The Dragon Blood Woodpecker Demon flew over, Fang Shilin tossed a Spirit Fruit to it as a reward, his lips curling.

"I am from Dragon Palace, Fang Shilin."

This person was precisely the academy student the first defeated by Lin Jing after arriving at Hidden Dragon City. Being stepped over for fame by Lin Jing, Fang Shilin bore no resentment, rather frustrated by the peers mocking him for losing to a freshman.

What's so funny, isn't failing during the cultivation of Hidden Dragon Secret Technique quite normal?

So he actively joined Dragon Palace, intending to use Beast Taming Dao to show some color to those ridiculers.

"Indeed, they are Dragon Blood Bird Demon nurtured according to the Palace Master's training method." Fang Shilin felt incredibly invigorated, admiring Lin Jing profoundly, no wonder he was reckoned as the prodigy surpassing ranks to defeat him. With this Pet Beast's assistance, he believed he would soon ascend from the academy's bottom rank and reverse his fortune.

"Coming from the barren Great Wilderness Domain as well, I am far inferior to the Palace Master."

…

"What's happening!"

"Isn't this Changchun Valley cultivator supposed to be cultivating Wood Technique Evergreen Technique? How come his Pet Beast is raised so formidable."

Celestial Regret Flower voiced his confusion. In his impression, Changchun Valley disciples heavily rely on abundant True Essence to overexert magic weapons against enemies...

"Hmm... This person joined a student organization established by a Beast Taming Sect disciple, so..." an informed academy professor explained.

"Beast Taming Sect disciple... Lin Jing?" Celestial Regret Flower from Celestial Secret Tower also seemed to have heard of Lin Jing's name, prodigies who have entered Grotto Heaven are their primary focus.

After speaking, their sights fell to another direction, their Divine Sense locked onto Lin Jing just arrived.

After transmission, Lin Jing landed under a mountain, then immediately soared upwards intending to explore first if there were any rare resources.

"This child is indeed bold, his cultivation not high, flying across Cangmang Mountain Range unafraid of being attacked by ferocious beasts in groups." Someone remarked.

"After all, he harvested the most from Dragon and Phoenix Grotto Heaven… both himself and his Pet Beast in Qi Cultivation pinnacle, right?"

"The projection of Dragon and Phoenix Grotto Heaven is, after all, Qi Cultivation and the ferocious beasts scattered, but the Cangmang Mountain Range is different..."

"Everyone watch ahead of his flight, there's our capture from Cloud Sea Mountain Range, a formidable creature." An academy professor stated, "Ranked ninety-second on the talent list, Qin Yiran from Celestial Sound Pavilion, seems to be in a predicament."

The Cloud Sea Mountain Range, located at the southernmost part beyond the Ancient Country, is the largest range in Celestial Essence Continent, suffused with clouds year-round, clouds in the sky severing Divine Sense, immensely treacherous, only a few ancient tribe cultivators, practicing "Witchcraft" reside here.

Besides, Celestial Essence Ancient Country failed to effectively eradicate Gu God Sect, as Gu God Sect loves hiding within Cloud Sea Mountain Range, practically impossible to trace.

"This is... Cloud Sea Mosquito Beast?!" Celestial Regret Flower from Celestial Secret Tower observed the beast mentioned by the academy professor, showing a look of intrigue.

On a mountain path, hundreds of fist-sized, bizarre demon beasts immensely larger than ordinary mosquitoes flew grandly through the air, attacking a woman in a white dress.
