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

In a secluded place, many high-ranking members of the Heavenly Principle Sect, the Perfect Enlightenment Sect, the Star-Following Sect, and the Wuwei Sect gathered.

The four sect leaders sat at the head of the table, while numerous seventh-rank feudal lords and beast tamers sat on either side.

More than four hundred soul lamps floated haphazardly in mid-air, most of which had been extinguished, leaving only one still lit.

The leader of the Heavenly Principles Cult, Illusion Soul King, was a stern-faced middle-aged man dressed in purple, inspiring fear in all who saw him: "This time we sent out so many people, yet in such a short time, only one remains."

The leader of the Wuwei Sect, Minsheng Wang, was a middle-aged woman who looked slightly older than Huanhun Wang. She was dressed in white, and her brows concealed a sharp edge: "Didn't we just discuss this? Our plan was leaked, so the alliance made targeted arrangements. There's nothing we can do about it, and you don't need to worry about it too much."

The leader of the Fengxing Sect, King Yongshou, appeared to be over fifty years old. He wore a yellow robe adorned with the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper. Pointing directly at Jian Xu's soul lamp, he questioned the leader of the Yuanwu Sect: "This soul lamp belongs to one of your Yuanwu Sect's candidates for Holy Son. The soul lamps of our Fengxing Sect's candidates for Holy Daughter have all gone out, yet his soul lamp remains lit. What does this mean? Does anyone here not understand?"

The leader of the Yuanwu Sect, Lianxiang Wang, was also over fifty years old. She wore a pink robe, had her hair styled in a classical bun, and was adorned with many hairpins and ornaments, making her look like an ancient person from seven or eight thousand years ago.

Faced with the questioning from the leader of the Fengxing Cult, she shifted the blame to her subordinates: "Ten Protectors, Jian Xu is your disciple, what do you have to say about that?"

Yin Xuhou, one of the ten protectors of the Yuanwu Sect, was an old man in a blue robe with white hair and beard. He spoke up to defend himself, saying, "Four sect leaders, it is highly likely that Jian Xu has already betrayed us, but there are other possibilities. At the very least, we should send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly."

The Heavenly Principle Sect Leader, Illusion Soul King, said coldly, "Immediately send people to investigate! Find out what methods the Alliance used to counter us this time, and what's the deal with this candidate Holy Son of the Yuanwu Sect."

"Master, there's no need to investigate. I know what happened." A middle-aged beast tamer flew into the council hall.

The Heavenly Principle Cult Leader, Illusionary Soul King, deliberately sneered: "Soul Seizer, you're finally back! You were in charge of this operation, and it failed. What is your punishment?"

The Heavenly Principle Sect's retainer, Soul-Seizing Marquis, hurriedly and respectfully admitted his mistake: "Sect Leader, this time it was indeed my fault for not discovering the alliance's conspiracy in advance."

The Heavenly Principle Sect Leader, Illusion Soul King, was still very protective of his own people. He chose to lift it high and then gently put it down: "Fine, the Alliance has always been cunning. It's already quite good that you were able to escape with your life from the Alliance."

The Heavenly Principle Sect's retainer, Soul-Seizing Marquis, had long known that the Heavenly Principle Sect Leader would protect him, and a smug look appeared on his face: "I must thank the Sect Leader for transmitting the news of the major changes that occurred in the Wangshu Secret Realm to me across the boundless starry sky, which allowed me to retreat in time. Otherwise, if I had run into the Alliance's junior leader and the three eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamers that the Alliance sent this time, I would have been dead without a doubt."

The leader of the Wuwei Sect, King Minsheng, said expressionlessly, "Tell me what you know."

The Heavenly Principle Sect's retainer, Soul-Seizing Marquis, revealed everything he knew, including some embellished speculation: "Jian Xu of the Yuanwu Sect addressed the Alliance's junior leader as 'master,' displaying utter obsequiousness, so it's 100% certain he's betrayed us. He most likely survived only by siding with the Alliance's junior leader, and many of our four hundred-plus brothers and sisters sent out this time probably died at his hands. Otherwise, even if the Alliance's junior leader is powerful, he couldn't have wiped out so many deacons and protectors in a single day. Moreover, Jian Xu immediately led the Alliance's experts to the Black Lotus Blessed Land opened up by his subordinates, which must also be due to his betrayal."

Yin Xuhou, one of the ten protectors of the Yuanwu Sect, immediately retorted, "How did you discover all this? Didn't you retreat before the alliance's powerful figures arrived?"

The Heavenly Principle Sect's revered Soul-Seizing Marquis explained, "I did indeed retreat before the Alliance's powerful figures arrived, but my tamed beast is the Black Lotus of the Soul-Stained. I had previously placed the Black Lotus Mark on several of my followers, so even though we were separated by thousands of miles, I could still observe the situation within the Black Lotus Blessed Land through their eyes. Now, the Black Lotus Blessed Land has been occupied by the Alliance, and all those followers are dead."

The Heavenly Principle Sect Leader, Illusion Soul King, looked extremely grim: "The facts are now very clear. A candidate for Holy Son has betrayed you, and your Yuanwu Sect is in grave trouble!"

Yin Xuhou, one of the ten protectors of the Yuanwu Sect, knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake: "It is all my fault."

The leader of the Yuanwu Sect, Lianxiang Wang, also chose to protect his subordinate: "This is indeed your fault. I will punish you when we get back."

The Heavenly Principle Cult Leader, Illusion Soul King, waved his hand: "This matter is not over yet. You all go back first. I have further arrangements to make."

Apart from the other three leaders, everyone answered in unison, "Yes!"

The Heavenly Principle Cult Leader, Illusionary Soul King, took Jian Xu's soul lamp into his palm, and then his figure suddenly disappeared, arriving at a more secluded space.

A silver light emanated from between his brows, and he summoned a black lotus flower with a diameter of thousands of kilometers from his beast-taming space.

This black lotus flower has countless tentacles, black petals, and a purple lotus platform. It is an eighth-tier plant-type Beast Taming Annihilation Sacred Lotus of mid-level mythical quality.

The Sacred Lotus of Annihilation shone with a deep black light. After emerging from the Beast Taming Space, it spun several times and instantly shrank to the size of a palm before flying to the Heavenly Principle Sect Master, Illusion Soul King.

The Heavenly Principle Cult Leader, Illusion Soul King, threw the soul lamp belonging to Jian Xu onto the Annihilation Holy Lotus.

A dense black aura surged from the lotus heart, enveloping the soul lamp.

The voice of the Heavenly Principle Cult Leader, Illusion Soul King, was chillingly cold: "Curse this traitor to death!"

The Holy Lotus of Extinction readily agreed: "It's a piece of cake."

Black energy continuously surged into the soul lamp, causing the golden lotus-patterned soul lamp to suddenly explode. The wisp of Jian Xu's original spiritual power left inside was continuously eroded by the black energy...

……

On a planet where birds sing and flowers bloom, although there are no highly intelligent beings living here, there are some strange plants and animals.

Zhou Heng led his six tamed beasts on a leisurely stroll around the planet, with Jian Xu following a few dozen steps behind.

"what!"

Suddenly, a painful scream rang out.

Zhou Heng turned his head and saw Jian Xu lying on the ground, black energy emanating from his seven orifices, and a black lotus mark between his eyebrows.

Soon, his body began to fester and rot, emitting black smoke, and his spiritual power continued to dissipate.

Jian Xu's beast-taming space opened out of thin air, and two Yin-Yang Xuan Birds with wingspans of over three thousand meters flew out and crashed heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.

These two birds, one male and one female, were also emanating black energy, their bodies and souls decaying and disintegrating, looking utterly miserable.
