Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 441 Spiritual Qi Revival, Tianzi Mountain
The strange phenomenon in the sky drew everyone's attention. An old man sensed something and said in a trembling voice:
"Dragon... Dragon vein energy? So pure and powerful! But the Heavenly Capital Dragon Vein is clearly already..."

Before he could finish speaking, another unexpected event occurred!
As if drawn by the beam of light, a vibrant green beam of light followed closely behind, shooting straight into the sky!

Where the green light passed, it seemed as if the phantoms of grass and trees were blooming in the void, dispelling the long-standing deathly silence and gloom that had lingered over that area.

One after another, beams of light, each a different color but all containing unimaginably pure spiritual energy, broke through the earth and pierced the sky, like the breath of a sleeping giant awakening!
Some are crimson like surging lava, others are azure like raging deep-sea waves…

Seven enormous pillars of light, distributed in all directions, stood proudly between heaven and earth.

Their light intertwined, rendering the entire sky into a dreamlike and magnificent picture, completely illuminated by this sacred radiance!

Rumble!
The pure spiritual energy, like a torrent that had been accumulating for ten thousand years, finally found an outlet, surging and spreading in all directions with the seven pillars of light at its core!

Wherever spiritual energy passes, the world becomes clear.

The withered weeds instantly came back to life, sprouting tender green shoots.

The flowering trees in the courtyard, which had already withered, began to form beautiful flower buds at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then bloomed brilliantly.

Some injured beast tamers found that their wounds, which had not healed for a long time, were tingling and itching, and were rapidly scabbing over and healing!
What's even more exciting is that a light rain began to fall from the sky, which was a sweet dew formed from highly concentrated spiritual energy.

The light rain fell on their bodies, instantly turning into a warm current that flowed into their limbs and bones, making them feel completely comfortable. Many beast tamers and spirit beasts who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for years even felt their barriers loosen, and their aura began to rise uncontrollably!
"Breakthrough!"

"I broke through!"

A young beast tamer shouted excitedly.

Gu Youshan and Xuanyuan Zhou exchanged a glance and immediately understood that this must be the aftermath of the destruction of the dragon vein.

Dragon veins gather all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and will not dissipate after destruction, but will briefly reflect back.

Gu Youshan glanced at Xuanyuan Zhou, and from the look in his eyes, Gu Youshan understood that the Divine Race would not be going into seclusion again anytime soon.

After all, the gods could not possibly give up such an opportunity.

Once the gods sign the hundred-year pact, they will return to the small world and will not be able to enjoy these benefits.

“Patriarch Gu, since neither of us can reach an agreement right now, why don’t we discuss this matter again later?” Xuan Yuanzhou said with a smile.

Gu Youshan didn't say much, and the two parted on bad terms.

News of the spiritual energy revival spread rapidly.

Temporary camp of the National Protection Alliance

In a secluded courtyard, Gu Ning was meditating with his eyes closed when the sudden strange phenomenon in the sky made him open his eyes abruptly.

The spirit dragon beside him, its body shrouded in a faint glow, seemed to be awakened by an invisible force and suddenly raised its head!

"Roar--"

A dragon's roar burst forth from the dragon's throat, and its eyes erupted with unprecedentedly brilliant golden light as it stared intently at the golden pillar of light surging from the distant direction of the Heavenly Capital!

It's not just pure spiritual energy.
As the Imperial Preceptor, Gu Ning was extremely sensitive to the energy of heaven and earth. He clearly sensed that within that vast torrent of spiritual energy, there were some even more precious things mixed in.

That's... a fragment of the Great Dao!
It is the trace of laws formed by the dragon vein being buried deep underground for countless years, merging with the earth's veins and the rules of heaven and earth!

It is the fundamental force that constitutes the concept of "dragon veins" in this world!

Gu Ning had been waiting for this moment. Following the instructions in the Imperial Preceptor's Heavenly Book, he quickly formed hand seals and directly unleashed the Dragon Transformation Technique!
"Guide the dragon back to its source, and absorb the Dao into the body!"

As Gu Ning chanted, the spirit dragon shone brightly, opening its mouth as if transforming into an invisible vortex.

Not only did the most concentrated and pure spiritual energy flow into its body like rivers flowing into the sea, but also strands of golden light, barely perceptible to the naked eye, seemed to be summoned, crossing space and separating from the pillar of light in the direction of the capital, heading straight towards the spirit dragon!
hum-

When the first wisp of golden light containing fragments of the Great Dao merged into the spirit dragon's body, it shuddered violently and let out a roar that was both painful and joyful.

Its body, which was originally just made of energy, began to undergo a dramatic change that was visible to the naked eye!

The dragon scales became more solid and thicker, their edges shimmering with a cold, metallic luster. Naturally formed, complex, and ancient patterns began to emerge on the scales.

Its body expanded wildly under the dual infusion of spiritual energy and fragments of the Great Dao. Its originally elegant and slender body became more and more robust, and its bones made crackling sounds, which was a leap in its life level!

The most astonishing changes occurred in its head and claws!

The pair of dragon horns on its head, which were originally only slightly protruding, now grew rapidly, like branches of an ancient tree that had absorbed nutrients, becoming majestic and awe-inspiring.

An ancient, vast, and supremely majestic aura began to emanate from it.

This aura is no longer simply powerful, but carries a sense of "origin" and "rule"!

It slowly raised its head, and as it opened and closed its eyes, golden light flowed, as if the sun, moon and stars were born and died within them.

Its body was coiled there, covered in dragon scales with natural Dao patterns. Its five claws gently gripped the ground, causing ripples to spread across the earth. Its majestic dragon horns pointed straight to the sky, exuding an aura of dominance that commanded the submission of all things.

It is no longer the "spirit dragon".

Its form, its spirit, and its power have already surpassed the realm of ordinary dragons, possessing the initial qualities of the legendary dragons who command all dragons and wield a portion of the power of heaven and earth.

Zulong!

Looking at the transformed spirit dragon before him, Gu Ning's pale face revealed a relieved yet ambitious smile.

From this moment on, Gu Ning was no longer the Gu Ning he used to be.

His future might even surpass that of his ancestor, Gu Wei!

What power of gods and demons, what divine races? Everything is nothing but ants before the power of the Ancestral Dragon.

"very good!"

Gu Ning revealed a ferocious smile.

The dragon has successfully reached level 90, but it's not stable enough yet.

He needs to spend the next two years improving further and laying a solid foundation.

When he truly masters the power of the Ancestral Dragon, he will be unmatched in the world!
"Is there really a resurgence of spiritual energy?"

Lin Chen also quickly caught wind of the situation.

In fact, he truly felt the change in spiritual energy. Although it had little effect on the beast tamer, it was like nectar to the spirit beast.

Along the way, Lin Chen saw many people with excited faces, almost ready to fight day and night.

This is equivalent to the leveling speed you get while living in a spiritual spring, which is a huge opportunity for all beast tamers.

"Could this be a good thing?" Li Zhen asked.

"No." Lin Chen warned the little fox not to cultivate for a while, and said:
"The Grand Elder told me that the spiritual energy revival is only temporary. Once this spiritual energy dissipates, it will no longer gather underground and will eventually dissipate."

"At that time, the spiritual energy of the entire Cangling Ancient Kingdom will plummet."

After saying that, Lin Chen asked Li Zhen how he felt.

Li Zhen immediately laughed and said, "I feel like I'm improving even without meditation."

Lin Chen was sweating bullets.

Cultivators clearly have the advantage over beast tamers.

In truth, Lin Chen also wished he could stop and begin seclusion on the spot, but with the Little Blue Fish matter unresolved, he certainly wouldn't have such thoughts. They passed through a small town, where Lin Chen went to inquire with the Monster Hunter Guild.

"Vice President Lin, this is the current situation."

"The latest news from Tiandu is that spiritual energy is recovering, so negotiations may not continue."

The members of the Monster Hunter Guild told Lin Chen.

"So, the gods will also continue to roam the world?" Li Zhen asked.

"That's probably what it means," Lin Chen frowned.

This will cause a lot of trouble.

However, now that spiritual energy has been revived, the gods are unlikely to let go of such an opportunity.

The two looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

With the gods remaining in the mortal realm, coupled with this sudden resurgence of spiritual energy, the future situation is likely to become even more unpredictable.

"Thanks for letting me know."

Lin Chen bowed to the guild member to express his gratitude, then prepared to leave with Li Zhen and continue on their journey.

"Um... Vice President Lin, please wait!"

The member hesitated for a moment, but still called out to them.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Chen turned around.

The member rubbed his hands together, a hint of hesitation on his face, before finally lowering his voice and saying:
"If you two continue towards the Heavenly City, it would be best to avoid the area around Tianzi Mountain ahead."

"Tianzi Mountain?" Li Zhen recalled the map. "Isn't that the highest peak in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom? Why go around it?"

"This one……"

The members' expressions became somewhat unnatural, their eyes flickering, as if they were weighing whether or not they should speak.

Li Zhen was an impatient man, and seeing this, he urged, "Just say what you have to say, why are you beating around the bush?"

The member gritted his teeth and lowered his voice even further: "You two don't know this, but Tianzi Mountain... is extremely eerie!"

He paused, a hint of fear appearing on his face: "When the gods invaded before, their army appeared in the direction of Tianzi Mountain."

"It is said that they slaughtered several villages and towns at the foot of the mountain that were unable to evacuate in time, leaving no one alive, men, women, or children!"

Lin Chen and Li Zhen frowned deeply; the blood debts left behind by the Divine Race were too numerous.

"And then?" Lin Chen pressed.

"Later, when the Protoss army left, some people wanted to collect the remains, or see if any valuables had been left behind..."

The member's voice trembled slightly.
"But no one who went in ever came out alive!"

"At first, we thought it was some ferocious spirit beast or a trap set by the gods that remained in the mountains, but later, some brave experts formed a team to investigate, but... the result was the same: no news at all."

"One of them managed to escape, but he went mad and started talking nonsense, saying things like ghost soldiers were borrowing a path... He died suddenly a few days later."

"So now everyone says... that place is filled with resentment, gathering the wronged souls of countless people who died unjustly, making it a very ominous place, haunted!"

The last two words were almost uttered in a breathy voice, and after speaking, he looked around with lingering fear.

As Lin Chen and Li Zhen listened, although with their cultivation levels they didn't really believe in ordinary ghost stories, a shadow couldn't help but fall over their hearts.

The world of beast taming is bizarre and wonderful; some things are better believed to exist than not.

Especially in places involving large-scale deaths and resentment, bizarre and incomprehensible entities can easily arise.

Lin Chen had also studied the so-called Tianzi Mountain.

It is not only the highest peak in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, but in the more ancient Primordial Era, it was rumored to be a sacred place for establishing religions, where the fortune of the world was gathered, and there was a saying that "one can look down upon the world from the top of the mountain".

However, after entering the first year of the Heavenly Beast Era, people discovered that apart from its towering height and precipitous terrain, it had no special spiritual energy and gradually lost its mysterious aura, becoming just an ordinary famous mountain.

"Thank you for reminding us, we understand, we will be careful to take a detour."

Lin Chen expressed his sincere gratitude.

After leaving the Monster Hunter Guild, the two followed the advice and slightly modified their route, keeping a safe distance from the area marked "ominous," before setting off.

Although they were far from Tianzi Mountain, they could still see the towering, majestic mountain range.

At this moment, Tianzi Mountain was shrouded in a thick, impenetrable layer of gray-black miasma.

Enveloped in mist, the mountain's exact shape was obscured; only a vague yet massive outline could be seen, standing silently between heaven and earth, exuding a chilling stillness and eeriness.

Looking at the mountain, Li Zhen felt uneasy, as if countless eyes were watching him from within the miasma.

He turned to talk to Lin Chen, but found Lin Chen staring blankly in the direction of Tianzi Mountain, his brows furrowed and his expression somewhat strange.

"Hey, what are you looking at? You seem so engrossed."

Li Zhen nudged him with his elbow.

Lin Chen slowly withdrew his gaze, a hint of confusion and uncertainty in his eyes, and said softly:
"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like... there's something in those mountains... watching me."

He paused, then added, "And it gives me a somewhat familiar feeling."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine and goosebumps rise on his skin. He said:
"Don't scare people in broad daylight! What could possibly be familiar with that ghostly place?!"

Lin Chen himself found it absurd, shook his head, and tried to dispel the strange feeling:
"Maybe I'm just hallucinating because I've been traveling too much these past few days. Let's hurry and get around here."

He glanced one last time at the giant mountain shrouded in miasma, suppressed the inexplicable unease in his heart, and quickened his pace to leave with Li Zhen.

As they left, on Mount Tianzi, high above the clouds, the old doctor and Bai Ling stood.

Lin Chen was not mistaken; the person watching him was indeed Bai Ling.

Bai Ling almost cried out, but the old doctor stopped her.

"Lin Chen has things to do, and you have things to do."

The old doctor looked at Bai Ling and said:

"Thanks to the gods, all the conditions for resurrecting the Devourer are now in place."

Bai Ling watched Lin Chen's departing figure, then glanced back at the Five-Colored Altar and took a deep breath.

indeed.

Now, she has things she needs to do.

That is.
Revive Xiu Xiu.

then
revenge!
