Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Zhou Heng replied without hesitation: "Naturally, it's the one with the strongest potential and the safest option."

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "This is indeed the best choice."

Zhou's mother deliberately asked, "Do you know the specifics of the evolution ritual?"

Zhou Heng shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhou's mother smiled and said, "It's good that you don't know. Evolutionary paths involving overlords and above are not made public. Ordinary people can't find them at all, and they won't be easily written down in the notes."

Even if it's written out, it will be deleted.

More importantly, knowing the evolutionary path does not guarantee successful evolution; the key is the accumulation of knowledge and experience before the actual evolution.

For example, what the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix eat and drink, and what kind of training makes it easier for them to evolve into the Colorful-Winged Azure Phoenix—these training processes are mostly secrets to ordinary people.

Furthermore, the investment of resources is of paramount importance.

Even knowing the complete evolutionary ritual is useless without sufficient resources.

Zhou Heng adopted a humble, inquisitive look: "Mom and Dad, I know the general evolutionary path of the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix, but I really don't know the specific evolutionary rituals and training process. How can I obtain these secrets?"

"The fact that we brought this up means we've definitely found a solution."

With a wave of his hand, a rhombus-shaped crystal, shimmering with golden light, appeared in his palm: "This is a heritage crystal. Inside are detailed evolution rituals for each stage of the Phoenix and Azure Luan, as well as the corresponding cultivation process. It involves not only the Overlord quality stage, but also the Mythical quality stage."

Zhou Heng took the cyan crystal, his eyes shining: "Where did this come from?"

Zhou's father replied, "Your grandfather had someone send this to us."

Zhou Heng was taken aback: "Yuanli Ancient Star is quite far from Xuanxiao Star. How could it have been delivered so quickly?"

Zhou's father revealed a smug look: "Your grandfather asked the ancestor's contracted partner to open a spatial tunnel and sent someone directly to deliver it over."

Zhou Heng was increasingly surprised: "They actually mobilized such a large force."

Space tunnels cannot be opened by just anyone; at least a seventh-level being is required, and of course, the higher the level, the better.

Zhou's father loved to show off in front of his son: "It's just opening up a space tunnel! For the ancestor, it's just a piece of cake."

Zhou Heng exclaimed sincerely, "Ancestor, you are truly amazing!"

Zhou's father exclaimed with fervor, "Our ancestor's abilities are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people! He's an eighth-tier beast tamer who has formed a contract with an eighth-tier beast, received an exclusive title, and holds a revered position within the alliance!"

Zhou Heng carefully held the cyan crystal: "This inheritance crystal must be very precious, right?"

"Of course! As you know, evolutionary rituals and training processes involving overlords are already under the control of ASEAN, and those involving mythical figures are even more strictly restricted."

Father Zhou explained, "The Phoenix and Azure Luan are very rare tamed beasts. Our family has never paid attention to them before. If it weren't for the ancestor's intervention, we wouldn't have been able to obtain detailed information from the alliance."

The ASEAN stipulates that ordinary sixth-tier commander beast tamers can only view evolution paths of diamond quality that involve overlord quality, and so on.

While this measure cannot completely prevent the leakage of evolutionary paths, it has played a certain role in ensuring that key evolutionary paths circulate only within a small circle.

Zhou Heng accepted the inheritance crystal and placed it between his eyebrows.

Immediately, a flood of information rushed into his mind.

It details how to cultivate the Phoenix Azure Phoenix in the early stages, what materials to use in the later stages, and under what conditions to evolve the Phoenix Azure Phoenix.

Overall, it is extremely detailed and meticulous, and there are some key details that ordinary people would never know.

The evolution of beast quality is very complex. Even if ordinary people know the corresponding rituals and required materials, they are still very prone to making mistakes in the process of evolving their beasts.

One reason is that this involves some special and crucial parts that require a lot of time for research and verification.

On the other hand, problems arose in the early stages of the cultivation process, leading it down a completely different path from the intended goal, thus preventing successful evolution.

But it's different for aristocratic young masters like Zhou Heng, whose family has already paved the way for him from the moment he awakened his talent.

Zhou's mother smiled gently: "My dear son, this inheritance crystal involves dozens of paths. Which one would you like to choose?"

Zhou Heng already had an idea: "The one with the highest potential, the one that can gradually evolve the Phoenix Azure Phoenix into the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix."

"We think the same way. You need to evolve the Phoenix Phoenix into the Colorful Winged Phoenix, then into the Three-Headed Phoenix, and finally into the Emperor Flame Phoenix."

Mother Zhou's face showed anticipation: "The Rainbow-Winged Azure Phoenix is ​​a mid-level overlord-quality beast, the Three-Headed Azure Phoenix is ​​a high-level overlord-quality beast, and the Imperial Flame Azure Phoenix is ​​an even lower-level mythical-quality beast. If you proceed step by step, it will be more than enough for you to become a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer, and even an eighth-tier monarch beast tamer is not impossible!"

Zhou Heng removed the cyan crystal from his forehead: "Mom and Dad, where did the evolution path go?"

Mother Zhou explained, "The Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix is ​​the highest known evolutionary form of the Phoenix Auspicious Azure Luan. Logically speaking, there should be even higher forms to come, but no one in the Alliance has ever evolved the Phoenix Auspicious Azure Luan into a form higher than the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix, so the subsequent evolutionary path is unknown even within the Alliance."

Zhou Heng instantly understood: "I get it."

He was not worried that the Phoenix Azure Phoenix would not be able to evolve into a higher form than the Emperor Flame Azure Phoenix, because he had the Spirit Source Pearl, which would definitely be able to evolve all the beasts to the Chaos quality in the future.

Fearing that Zhou Heng might feel disappointed, Zhou's father quickly comforted him, saying, "Although no one has yet figured out the evolutionary path, the mythical quality is more than enough. After all, even a large family like our Zhou family doesn't have many mythical-quality beasts, and they've all been accumulated over thousands of years."

Zhou Heng smiled and nodded: "That's what I think too. This route is the best among the dozens of routes in the inheritance crystal, so I've decided to choose this route."

Zhou's mother spoke in a very gentle tone: "My dear son is so clever. Although the Phoenix and Azure Phoenix have become less popular in recent centuries, they were once a popular beast to tame. So this route is detailed and precise enough. Just follow in the footsteps of our predecessors."

Zhou Heng looked slightly worried: "It is indeed very detailed and precise, but it is really difficult to make Jiuxiao continue to evolve! The resource consumption alone far exceeds that of other routes."
