Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 408 Abolish the Centennial Pact
A ruthless glint flashed in Gu Ning's eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Ning finally ended her year-and-a-half-long seclusion and reappeared at the National Academy.

The two disciples who had been guarding the door sensed Gu Ning's presence and immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "Congratulations on the Grand Preceptor's return from seclusion."

"stand up."

Gu Ning was in high spirits, but at that moment, the appearance of a figure instantly turned his mood unpleasant.

This person is Gu An.

"Congratulations, Grand Preceptor, on reaching level 70." Gu An clapped as he walked over.

Gu Ning's pupils, however, were filled with murderous intent.

At this moment, his goal is to surpass Zhong Nan, and even Gu Wei.
He possesses the strongest dragon transformation technique in the world, one that even Gu Wei has never possessed.

What is there to fear about him?
Therefore, if asked who he most wanted to kill first, it would undoubtedly be his own uncle, Gu An.

At this point, killing Gu An is clearly unrealistic.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Ning's tone was not respectful either; their relationship had long been laid bare.

Gu An smiled and said, "Of course I've been waiting for you. Let's go."

Gu Ning was puzzled.

Gu An then said, "This is the tenth round of the Tian Shu Pavilion meeting."

"You didn't participate in the first nine rounds, so you should at least show up for the tenth round."

Gu Ning was taken aback. He asked, "What happened to the Cangling Ancient Kingdom?"

"You'll see when we get there." Gu An shook his head indifferently, then walked forward on his own.

Gu Ning followed behind, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

When Gu Ning arrived at the conference room, she saw that there were many people there.

The patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Youshan.

The ancestor of the Li family was Li Gu.

The patriarch of the Yin family, Yin Wansheng.

The ancestor of the Qin family, Qin He.

In addition, the Grand Elder was also present, as was Chen Ming, the president of the Southern Monster Hunter Guild, who had always been regarded as a thorn in the side by the Tian Shu Pavilion.

Even Gu An wasn't qualified to enter.

As Gu Ning stepped into this secret chamber, which symbolized the core of the highest power in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, the heavy atmosphere almost solidified, making it hard to breathe.

Everyone present was a powerful figure whose mere presence could shake the region, yet at this moment, their faces were solemn, and an unyielding gloom hung between their brows.

Above the main seat was a circle, and although there was no distinction between high and low, Gu Ning still sat in the most conspicuous position.

"Everyone's here, let's begin." As Gu Youshan spoke, everyone else's eyes turned to Gu Ning.

Gu Youshan knew that Gu Ning was unaware of the situation, so he repeated the story again.

"The alliance of gods, led by the Xuanyuan Clan and the Ancient Clan, officially issued a 'divine ultimatum' to our human race three months ago."

"The ultimatum contained two contents."

"First, abolish the existing 'Centennial Agreement'."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ning's heart sank.

He had long sensed that the gods would not be so peaceful in the past two years.

At this moment, Gu Youshan's voice rang out again:

"Secondly, they demand that our human race relinquish control of all nine main dragon veins within the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, allowing us to retain only some insignificant branch veins!"

As they spoke, everyone stared intently at Gu Ning.

Everyone present was already aware of this matter, and nine meetings had already been held. The topics of discussion were all the same:
To fight or to surrender.

Although nearly three years have passed since the chaos caused by the demon beasts, the human race has not yet recovered its vitality.

This war is different.
Although the human race maintains an absolute lead in numbers, they are simply no match in quality.

Gu Ning, who was being watched at this moment, was equally shocked.

If the dragon vein is obtained by the gods, then what is the Imperial Academy?
Decoration?

If the Imperial Advisor cannot draw upon the power of the Dragon Vein, then he is essentially just an empty shell.

Furthermore, the human race will lose a top-tier combatant.

However, if war were to break out now, his Ancestral Dragon Power would be impossible to conceal any longer.

At that time, he will become the focus of attention.

At this moment, Gu Ning felt as if he were being grilled on a barbecue grill.

But at this moment, the Grand Elder squinted and spoke first: "What? Does our Grand Preceptor also agree to surrender?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Gu Ning.

Hand over the dragon vein?

That would be tantamount to severing the very foundation of humanity!
Their descendants will all become ants, at the mercy of the gods.

Such conditions are something that the human race absolutely cannot agree to.

灵院
The source of the dragon vein
"Promoted! Promoted again!"

Lin Chen was so happy he was almost numb.

This place truly lives up to its reputation as the origin of the dragon vein; the spiritual energy here is almost abnormally dense. One day of cultivation here is equivalent to one month outside.

In just a year and a half, the progress has been nothing short of phenomenal!
First, there's the beginner.

During the final evolution, Liu Gu selected evolution materials primarily composed of spiritual energy, thoroughly solidifying Xiao Bai's foundation.

So its level soared, and today it broke through the level 79 barrier, just one step away from the legendary level 80!
This reminded Lin Chen of a passage in the "Beast Taming Manual" that level 80 is a huge watershed on the path of spirit beast cultivation.

Once it crosses this threshold, the spirit beast will undergo a complete transformation, gaining the ability to perceive and manipulate the power of heaven and earth, truly reaching the level of a "master" and being revered as a "celestial beast."

More importantly, once a spirit beast reaches level 80, it will no longer be able to advance using evolution recipes. Its future path will depend more on its own comprehension and opportunities.

The manual even mentions that if a spirit beast comprehends the Dao in a single day, it may even directly transcend the gap between immortals and mortals, leaping to level 100 and achieving the status of an immortal beast!

Of course, such records are vague and have only appeared once or twice in historical books.

Besides Xiaobai, the other companions also showed amazing improvement.

The little fox absorbed the fire energy and abundant spiritual energy here with extremely high efficiency, leveling up 13 levels to reach level 75, ranking first among all spirit beasts, truly deserving of the title of leveling king.

Little Blue's level increased by 12 levels. As a lazy spirit beast, it usually just sleeps here all day and does nothing. For it to have such an increase is already extremely terrifying.

The polar bear also leveled up by 12. It was the most diligent one. Although its level was low, bears are inherently less intelligent, so being able to level up by 12 was already extremely impressive.

Only the Fire Sprite's level remained unchanged, since it hadn't developed any intelligence yet.

The fire spirit had previously absorbed the Heavenly Flame of the Seven-Colored Phoenix, and also had the strange flames of other students' spirit beasts in the Spirit Academy, but its evolution level was only 50%, just half.

Lin Chen kept track of the time every day. The Grand Elder had said that he could only stay here for a maximum of two years. If he stayed longer than two years, he would be automatically removed from the list.

This piqued Lin Chen's curiosity.
Lin Chen originally thought that the Dragon Vein Land should be a concept stock.

But now, he actually saw that the Dragon Vein Land truly existed.

This gave Lin Chen a bold conjecture.
Perhaps the land of dragon veins is not naturally formed.

But
Man-made.
