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

After seeing Zhou Heng emerge, Lingxi King of the Xuanwu Ling family and Wuxiang King of the Jianmu Feng family used the blue crescent moon and the red sun wheel to directly remove the seal outside the Wangshu Secret Realm.

In this way, once the exploration period for the Wangshu Secret Realm ends, the university students from the ten Beast Taming Universities will be able to leave through the inner portal of the Wangshu Secret Realm without any hindrance.

Zhou Heng then said to his fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, "There's one more thing. Through the Beast Tamers of the Four Sects that I killed, I found a stronghold of the Heavenly Principle Sect in a nearby star field. This was originally an escape route arranged by the Heavenly Principle Sect for the Four Sects members who smuggled themselves into the Wangshu Secret Realm. As long as they crushed the teleportation jade beads, they could be teleported to this stronghold. Fortunately, the Wangshu Secret Realm was sealed from the outside by the Seventh Elder and the Eighth Elder, rendering their teleportation jade beads useless, which is why I was able to wipe them all out."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang looked excited: "Junior Brother, you actually found a stronghold of the Heavenly Principle Sect. This is truly an unexpected surprise."

Zhou Heng continued, "This stronghold is a blessed land, only about ten million kilometers away from the Yaoyue Star we are standing on. It is located on an unnamed planet and was opened up by the Tianli Sect specifically for smuggling people into the Wangshu Secret Realm. The one guarding it is a Tianli Sect retainer, known as the Soul-Seizing Marquis."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment: "Ten million kilometers? That's so close to us! The people of the Heavenly Principle Sect really have a lot of nerve."

Zhou Heng seized the opportunity and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, the one in charge of this stronghold is a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer. Although I have killed many fifth-tier warrior beast tamers and sixth-tier commander beast tamers, I have never actually fought a seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamer. This is a good opportunity."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang never failed to meet Zhou Heng's requests. He immediately said, "How about this, let's go to this stronghold together. The Seventh Elder, the Eighth Elder, and I will back you up so that you can fight against the seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers with peace of mind."

Lingxi King of the Xuanwu Ling family and Wuxiang King of the Jianmu Feng family also quickly followed suit, stating, "We have no objections."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother, and thank you, Elders."

The three waved their hands, all with expressions that said "You're too kind" and "I don't deserve it."

Immediately afterwards, the fourth senior brother, Rongtu Wang, summoned the lecturers from various universities back from the starry sky and ordered them to guard outside the secret realm's entrance.

Zhou Heng, along with six shrunken beasts and his newly acquired servant Jian Xu, crossed ten million kilometers with his fourth senior brother Rong Tu Wang, Ling Xi Wang of the Xuanwu Ling family, and Wu Xiang Wang of the Jianmu Feng family to fight their way to the outside of the Black Lotus Blessed Land.

The nameless planet where the Black Lotus Paradise is located is very ordinary, with almost no living beings on it.

Such planets are ubiquitous in the universe, and the entrance to this blessed land is hidden in a narrow crevice in the void, isolating it from the outside world, making it extremely concealed.

If Zhou Heng hadn't read the memories of the people from the four religions, even if he were just passing by this planet, he wouldn't have been able to discover that there was a blessed land here.

Normally, if you want to forcefully attack a blessed land, it is not enough for a small number of seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers to take action. You must have an eighth-tier monarch beast tamer to take action, or multiple seventh-tier feudal lord beast tamers to take action.

With three eighth-tier monarch-level beast tamers in their group, there was naturally no chance of anything going wrong.

But Zhou Heng has the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, so there's no need for him to forcefully attack the blessed land.

In its Celestial Roc form, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, now shrunk to about one meter in size, used its powerful skill, "Roaming the Four Directions of the Universe," to bring everyone into the Black Lotus Blessed Land.

This blessed land is not very large; it was originally just a temporary settlement. There are no stars or moon in the blessed land, the light is very dim, it is full of swamps, and black lotus flowers bloom everywhere.

Zhou Heng and his group soon arrived at the center of the Black Lotus Blessed Land, where there was a palace.

A sweep of their powerful spiritual energy revealed that there were only a few fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers inside, and no sign of the Seventh-tier Lord Beast Tamer, Soul-Seizing Marquis, from the Heavenly Principle Sect.

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu King used his spiritual power to scan the entire Black Lotus Blessed Land, but still couldn't find any trace of the Soul-Seizing Marquis: "There is no seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer in the blessed land at all."

Jian Xu hurriedly explained to Zhou Heng, "Master, the Soul-Seizing Marquis must have received the news, so he fled. However, he left in such a hurry that he didn't take these ordinary followers of the Heavenly Principle Sect with him, nor did he even destroy the blessed land directly."

Zhou Heng was slightly disappointed: "It seems we're a step too late."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang comforted him, "It's alright, he escaped, so be it. He was lucky this time."

"Who are you? How dare you come here!" Suddenly, several fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers walked out of the palace, looking fierce but actually weak.

Zhou Heng naturally wouldn't waste his breath on these fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers.

With a single thought, the three-headed azure phoenix pounced out, spewing five-colored flames that burned all the Heavenly Principle Sect's worshippers who hadn't taken them with them to ashes.

After several followers died, their corpses turned to charred ashes, from which several black lotus phantoms suddenly flew out. Under the scorching heat of the Five Virtues Divine Fire, they actually lasted longer than ordinary fourth-tier Grandmaster Beast Tamers, before finally turning into nothingness after a short while.

Jian Xu kept trying to demonstrate his value: "Master, this should be the method of the Soul-Seizing Marquis. He had the Soul-Staining Black Lotus place a special mark on the souls of these people. Now that the carriers are dead, the mark placed by the Soul-Staining Black Lotus has also been burned away by Lord Jiuxiao's divine fire."

Zhou Heng joked, "The Soul-Seizing Marquis actually had time to do this kind of thing while he was running away."

Jian Xu said in a low voice, "They must have already made their move before that."

Afterwards, Zhou Heng and his companions wandered around the blessed land again, but did not find anything of particular value. However, their fourth senior brother, Rong Tu Wang, still smiled and patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder: "Junior brother, you have made a great contribution by discovering a stronghold of the Heavenly Principle Sect this time. I will recommend you for commendation when we return."

Zhou Heng declined, saying, "It's just a small, deserted blessed land that was temporarily opened up. It's not important to the Heavenly Principle Sect, and there's nothing to be proud of."

Fourth Senior Brother Rong Tuwang spoke in a businesslike tone, but his favoritism towards Zhou Heng was obvious to everyone: "You can't say that. Clear rewards and punishments are the foundation of our alliance. If you have made contributions, you should naturally be rewarded."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng knew that continuing to refuse would seem hypocritical, so he readily agreed.

The group then returned to Yaoyue Star.

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang consulted Zhou Heng: "Junior Brother, the Wangshu Secret Realm won't close for another twenty days or so. Are you planning to go back early or...?"

Zhou Heng glanced at the three-headed Azure Phoenix, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, the Returning Void Divine Dragon, the Titan Lord, the Netherworld Demon Dragon, and the Fortune Qilin King surrounding him, and already had a plan in mind: "I want to take Jiuxiao, Wuji, Feihong, Emperor God, Tyrant, and Chengrui to explore the surrounding starry sky, and then I will go back with you in about twenty days."

Fourth Senior Brother Rongtu Wang nodded: "Okay."

After exchanging greetings, Zhou Heng rode on the back of the Lucky Qilin King and took the other beasts for a stroll in the surrounding starry sky. All six beasts were extremely happy.
