Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Beast Taming Mountain Gate

Accompanied by the clear chant of the Jiao Dragon, the Tower Ship took to the skies once more, heading back in the direction of the Beast Taming Sect.

This time, with several Golden Core Cultivators on board, all the disciples felt much safer. They huddled together, excitedly discussing the previous battle with great enthusiasm.

Particularly those Noble Heirs on the fourth floor, all of whom had once thrown Spirit Talismans at Demon Beasts, and had indeed managed to kill seven or eight of the Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts, regardless of the cost. Although after the battle they had nearly used up all their Spirit Talismans, this didn’t prevent them from boasting about their achievements.

In the end, these fellows each attributed the final blow that killed the Demon Beasts to themselves. When someone tallied it up, they found that if they were to count according to their boasts, there wouldn’t be enough Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts even including all those that came to attack.

On the top floor, in a spacious hall, Yan Zhongli and others sat cross-legged, sipping tea and chatting with laughter.

“Ah, to be young!” said Senior Brother Qi, his hair and beard all white. “Seeing these children reminds me of my own time when I first joined the Sect, when I was just as carefree.”

He gave a bitter laugh, “In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and I’m still circling around the Golden Core Realm. To take a step further is incredibly difficult.

These children admire us, not knowing that we also look up to Cultivators of higher realms.

Alas, the path of Cultivation is fraught with hardships and countless tribulations; a single misstep can send one tumbling into an abyss. Who knows how many among these children will surpass us and tread further on the path of Cultivation.”

Unlike the old man’s worries, Yan Zhongli laughed heartily, “Senior Brother Qi should not disparage himself. How many are there among us who could stand out from the ordinary Outer Disciples and achieve the Dao Cultivation you have today?

Brother Qi, you must not give up because the journey is difficult, or that would truly be where you stop.

We who practice Cultivation can only advance by facing difficulties head-on. Knowing the hardships, yet still pressing forward, is the only way one has a chance of proving the Dao.

Otherwise, what use is natural Talent and strong Root Bone if one does not possess the perseverance to overcome obstacles? Sooner or later, one would still fall on the road to Longevity and become naught but a pile of dry bones.” @@novelbin@@

Hearing this, Senior Brother Qi shook his head and chuckled, “Junior Brother Yan, you are still young, not like me. But it’s good that you have such spirit. Only with such mentality can one possibly go further.”

As they talked, the Tower Ship gradually moved farther away.

The Jiao Dragon, pulling the Tower Ship, traversed mountains and rivers, vast forests, and after nearly two days of continuous flight, finally arrived in front of a grand mountain.

The mountain was called Manghuang, and in Ancient Times, it was occupied by the Demon Clan, inhabited by countless members of the Demon Clan. Later, it was captured by the ancestors of the Beast Taming Sect with their Disciples. After tens of thousands of years of development, it became what is now the Beast Taming Sect.

From afar, one could see numerous peaks rising straight into the clouds, the mountain range stretching for thousands of miles.

The mountains were dotted with countless buildings, with figures moving about everywhere. An untold number of Spiritual Beasts were hidden among them, with their cries and roars echoing through the forests from time to time.

Here, one might see tigers and wild boars walking together, giant wolves and mountain goats side by side, a Divine Bird with wings spanning a hundred zhang soaring into the sky, or a Jade Rabbit barely larger than a palm crossing a hundred zhang of space.

This was the Mountain Gate of the Beast Taming Sect, home to the most complete variety of Demon Beasts in the world. Many Exotic Beasts rarely seen outside could be found here.

On the Tower Ship, all the Disciples had already emerged from their rooms. Some were crowding along the railings, watching in amazement, while others were clustered in groups, imagining the bright future ahead after entering the Sect.

The Jiao Dragon towed the Tower Ship along the outside of the mountain, flying laterally for a thousand miles before landing on a vast plaza.

Yan Zhongli’s figure flew out from the top level of the Tower Ship and shouted, “Everyone disembark in order. After disembarking, no noise or wandering around. Line up neatly, and wait for the Outer Deacons to settle you in. Only then can you attend to your private affairs.”

Everyone hurriedly quieted down and disembarked in order, somewhat roughly forming several lines on the plaza.

“Ha-ha, Senior Brother Yan, this time your group is the last to return. If you had been any later, you would have missed tomorrow’s celebration,” said a middle-aged man with a short beard, stepping out from a grand hall in front of the plaza, laughing as he spoke to Yan Zhongli.

However, when he saw the damaged hull of the Tower Ship and the other Golden Core Cultivators who appeared together with Yan Zhongli, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately asked, “Brother, what happened on this trip?”

Yan Zhongli saw that there were still quite a few disciples bustling about the square and didn’t say much. He just laughed, “It was merely a few demons from the Yin Spirit Demon Sect who wished to attack us, but they have already been slain. Junior Brother Li should settle these new disciples first before discussing further.”

“Yin Spirit Demon Sect?”

Li Qing heard this and sneered a few times, “They really have the audacity to attack the Beast Taming Sect. It seems that the suppression by the Righteous Path Sects on the Demon Sect is still not severe enough!”

Then, without saying much more, he turned his head and instructed the Deacon Disciples behind him to come forward and settle the new disciples brought by Yan Zhongli.

As for the matter of the Yin Spirit Demon Sect, they only needed to report it to the higher echelons of the Sect. In due time, higher-ups would dispatch staff to repress the Yin Spirit Demon Sect.

Since the adversary dared to launch a sneak attack on them, they had to be ready to face retaliation from the Beast Taming Sect. If they did not make the Yin Spirit Demon Sect tremble with fear, perhaps other Demon Sects would also think that the Beast Taming Sect was easy to bully and plan to step on them too.

Several Foundation Establishment Cultivation Deacons took over the registers handed by Fang Zheng, counted all the disciples, and then led the disciples away in teams to settle them temporarily. After they formally entered the Mountain Gate, they would then be assigned to the various peaks of the Outer Sect.

As for the several young boys who died on the way, the Sect would also send people to inform their families.

Although the fate of those boys who had suffered misfortune before even entering the Sect was somewhat tragic, since they chose to step into the Cultivation World, they had to be prepared to face all sorts of dangers.

The Cultivation World is never short of unexpected situations. When powerful cultivators fight, a slight mishap could affect ordinary cultivators, causing death and injury. Such incidents were far from rare. When encountered, one either had to stay far away or simply accept it as bad luck.

Qin Feng was separated from Qin Xi.

After all, there is a distinction between men and women, and those female disciples would be settled elsewhere.

He and over a hundred boys followed an Outer Deacon towards the east side of the square.

There were rows of houses there, specially used to accommodate new disciples. These courtyards were usually uninhabited and only became busy for a few days each year when new disciples were admitted.

They would first settle down here and then participate in a ceremony with all the new disciples admitted this year. Only after that would they officially become Outer Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.

Qin Feng and the others arrived last, so the area of houses they were assigned to was at the very back and the most rudimentary.

Except for a few complaints from delicate Noble Heirs, the others did not mind.

For most of the boys, they would only stay here for one night anyway, and leave the next day, so they didn’t care about the quality of their environment.

As for those Noble Heirs, no one cared about their complaints.

This is a Sect, not their family homes. Even their families were merely forces affiliated to the Sect, without the privilege to order around here, nor would any Outer Deacon cater to their demands.

Qin Feng entered his room, glanced around casually, and saw that the only thing better here than on the Tower Ship was a wooden plank bed.

Since the room was equipped with a simple dust-proof Prohibition, there was no need for special cleaning to make it habitable.

He closed the room door, lay down on the wooden bed, and closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.

Although he couldn’t exactly say he was exhausted on the Tower Ship, the battle had left him somewhat mentally tired, and he remained anxious along the way, fearing another attack.

If there were indeed another attack, it would undoubtedly involve beings with higher Dao Cultivation Realms than those first few demons, and just a few Golden Core Cultivators like Yan Zhongli might not be able to hold them off.

Fortunately, such an event did not occur.

Now that he had arrived at the Sect, he could truly relax and wanted nothing more than to lie down in bed and get a good sleep.

In his sleep, he dreamed that he had become a top-level Great Cultivator of the Beast Taming Sect, transformed into a Divine Ape ten zhang tall, riding a Jiao Dragon a hundred zhang long, with Spiritual Cranes flying around and a White Tiger following, looking majestic as could be.
