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

Xuan Chen Supreme nodded slightly, and the many powerful figures bowed again before sitting down again.

Afterwards, Emperor Xuanchen casually said a few words, and the birthday banquet officially began.

The higher-ups of the Xuanwu Ling family had already arranged for many programs to be prepared.

As the sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments filled the air, a variety of auspicious and wonderful programs took the stage one after another, leaving the audience breathless.

Afterwards, everyone presented their respective congratulatory gifts according to their status and how close they were to each other.

The first to present their congratulatory gifts were Zhou Heng and his fourth senior brother, King Rongtu.

These two low-grade tenth-tier spiritual items, each with its own symbolic meaning, are quite presentable.

Zhou Heng, dressed in a festive red suit, held a purple-red peach the size of a water vat and placed it on the table in front of Xuan Chen Supreme: "This Primordial Thousand Autumn Peach is offered to Master. I wish Master a long and healthy life, and immortality."

The fourth senior brother, Rongtu Wang, dressed in a golden robe, followed closely behind, taking out a nine-colored lingzhi mushroom the size of an umbrella and placing it next to the longevity peach: "This Primordial Nine-Colored Lingzhi is offered to Master, wishing Master joy, health, and longevity."

"Ha ha!"

As Xuan Chen Supreme listened to the auspicious words from the two, and gazed at the radiant Hongmeng Nine-Colored Fungus and Hunyuan Thousand-Autumn Peach, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

He waved his hand and put the tenth-tier spiritual items offered by the two into his pocket: "Heng'er, Xin'er, you are indeed my good disciples, you are very thoughtful."

His original expectation was that his two disciples would give him two ninth-tier spiritual items, or even just eighth-tier spiritual items, which he could accept.

Unexpectedly, both Zhou Heng and King Rongtu gifted me tenth-tier spiritual items, which was a pleasant surprise.

Xuan Chen Supreme didn't care about ordinary tenth-tier spiritual items, but the more precious the gifts Zhou Heng and Rong Tu King gave him, the more they valued him as their master.

Zhou Heng smiled modestly: "I'm just glad that Master doesn't mind that our birthday gift is too meager."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang looked ashamed: "Yes! Today is Master's 1000th birthday, so we should have given him more precious treasures."

Xuan Chen Supreme's expression was very gentle: "Two tenth-tier spiritual items are nothing to your master, but they are extremely precious to you. It's my birthday, and you're giving me gifts based on your good intentions. I accept your kindness, and that's enough. There's no need for comparison."

Zhou Heng and his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, said in unison, "We will respectfully follow Master's teachings."

Emperor Lu Xie also presented a congratulatory gift, which was also a low-grade tenth-rank spiritual item.

He presented the treasure to Supreme Xuan Chen and deliberately flattered Zhou Heng and King Rong Tu: "What a coincidence! The gifts prepared by our Qiongqi Meng family are of similar value to those prepared by the Little Alliance Leader and the Fourteenth Elder, but you two are presenting them in your personal capacity, while we are presenting them in the name of our family. In truth, we are no match for you two."

Xuan Chen Supreme's expression remained unchanged: "As I have already said, a gift is merely a token of goodwill; there's no need for excessive comparison. As long as you are sincere, even a flower or a blade of grass will be of great value to me. But if there is no sincerity, no matter how precious the treasure, I will not even glance at it."

Emperor Minghui immediately flattered, "The Supreme Alliance Leader is absolutely right! His words have truly enlightened us! No wonder our cultivation level is so far behind that of the Supreme Alliance Leader; we were far too mediocre before."

Not to be outdone, the Snow Soul Emperor echoed his praise, "Indeed, indeed! Listening to the Supreme Alliance Leader's words is worth more than ten years of study!"

The Cangwu Emperor uttered flattering words: "The words of the Supreme Alliance Leader contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth. They are truly insightful and worth a fortune. They are more valuable than a guiding light in the darkness, guiding us at all times."

Subsequently, the Snow Soul Emperor of the Nether Butterfly Huo family and the Cangwu Emperor of the Fire Phoenix Yan family also presented their gifts on behalf of their families, which were also low-grade tenth-rank spiritual objects.

The Meng family of Qiongqi, the Huo family of Mingdie, and the Yan family of Huofeng all have a very good understanding of each other, and they always discuss in advance what gifts to send.

Then it was the turn of the twelve major families.

Because of Zhou Heng and Rongtu Wang, the Shenlong Zhou family, the Jinwu Li family, and the Tianshe Zhang family each brought out tenth-grade low-level spiritual items as congratulatory gifts, making them comparable in value to top-tier families.

The remaining nine large families all brought out ninth-tier spiritual items.

Xuan Chen Supreme lingered his gaze on Wanbao King, the ancestor of the Zhou family of the Divine Dragon, Linglong King, the ancestor of the Li family of the Golden Crow, and Juntian King, the ancestor of the Zhang family of the Heavenly Serpent, for a while, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Their attitude towards the other nine large aristocratic families was indifferent.

More than a hundred small aristocratic families also presented their own congratulatory gifts, most of which were eighth-tier spiritual items.

Xuan Chen Supreme did not put it away, but instead asked the Ling family patriarch to keep it safe.

For the current Supreme Xuanchen, an eighth-tier spiritual item is simply not worthy of being stored in a storage treasure.

The birthday banquet then continued, with various birthday celebrations and ceremonies taking place.

Everyone sang and danced, and drank heartily.

The banquet for Xuan Chen Supreme's thousandth birthday lasted for more than half a month before it finally ended, and many powerful figures transformed into streams of light and took their leave one after another.

Zhou Heng and his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, being disciples of Xuan Chen Supreme, naturally stayed until the end.

Xuan Chen Supreme waved his hand, summoning Zhou Heng and Rong Tu King to sit down beside him: "Heng'er, Xin'er, this time, I'm so glad that you two have spent so much for my thousandth birthday celebration."

Zhou Heng's expression was sincere, and his words were filled with gratitude: "Master's words truly make us feel ashamed. I don't know about Senior Brother's situation, but I know about my own. Since I became a disciple, Master has given me countless treasures. When Master held the Supreme Ceremony before, he bestowed a large number of tenth-grade spiritual items upon Ancestor Wanbao and Ancestor Linglong. This time, for Master's thousandth birthday, I only took out one tenth-grade spiritual item, which is completely disproportionate to what Master has given me."

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tu Wang's expression was sincere, his eyes filled with filial piety: "Master has given me quite a few treasures, and in the hundreds of years since I became his disciple, Master has protected me at all times. I have seen and remembered all the kindness he has shown me. It is far more than just a tenth-grade spiritual item. If my strength were not insufficient, I would definitely give Master more than just one tenth-grade spiritual item; I would definitely give him ten or even a hundred tenth-grade spiritual items."

Xuan Chen Supreme was a very loving person towards his disciples: "Although the Shenlong Zhou family and the Jinwu Li family are considered to have a relatively deep foundation among the large aristocratic families, Heng'er, you will need high-level spiritual items in many places later. As for Xin'er, your Tian She Zhang family has never produced a ninth-level Emperor Beast Tamer in your ancestors, and your foundation is far weaker than that of the Shenlong Zhou family and the Jinwu Li family. I didn't expect that you two would both bring out tenth-level spiritual items this time. You are both good children."

Zhou Heng sincerely said, "Putting ourselves in their shoes, if Master is good to us, then we should naturally be good to Master in return."

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tuwang nodded emphatically: "Junior Brother is right. We will never forget how good Master has been to us, and we will always think about how to repay Master."
