Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Mastery of the Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture
The next day, early in the morning.
Qin Feng woke up early for his morning practice, and after sitting in meditation to regulate his breathing, he got up and left the courtyard, heading towards the Preaching Pavilion located halfway up the mountain.
The Preaching Pavilion was independently established by each of the Outer Sect’s peaks; aside from being under the jurisdiction of the Inner Sect’s Preaching Hall, all other matters were decided by the peaks themselves.
As Qin Feng made his way there, he quickly encountered quite a few fellow sect members. @@novelbin@@
However, they were all new disciples who had joined the Sect the day before. The senior disciples knew that the pavilion would primarily be teaching basic spells in the next few days due to the arrival of newcomers. Hence, after the new disciples’ cultivation was on the right track in a few days, other topics would continue to be taught. Because of this, the older disciples seldom wasted their time at the pavilion during this period.
“Senior Brother Qin.”
At that moment, a lean young man saw Qin Feng’s figure and hurriedly caught up, greeting him.
This youngster was also from the Chu Kingdom. The two had met on the Tower Ship on the way here. He came from a small family in Fengyang County and was named Liu Wuxiang.
Like Qin Feng, he was a disciple who had emerged from the Outer Sect’s Illusion Array test. Since the two families they originated from weren’t too far apart, they had even chatted for a bit on the road to Spiritual Snake Peak previously.
Liu Wuxiang’s cultivation was at the third level of Qi Refinement, which was already quite outstanding among disciples from small families, considering him to be something of a prodigy.
He had heard about Qin Feng and Qin Xi’s deed of jointly slaying over ten Demon Beasts, so the young man held considerable respect for Qin Feng in his heart, believing Qin Feng to be extremely formidable.
Now that both had joined Spiritual Snake Peak, he naturally wanted to make friends with Qin Feng.
“Junior Brother Liu,” Qin Feng saw the young man and greeted him with a smile, “Let’s walk a bit faster to avoid falling behind everyone. If we miss anything during the lecture, that wouldn’t be good.”
“You’re right, Senior Brother,” Liu Wuxiang nodded quickly, and the two of them hurried along, overtaking many people along the way and quickly entering the Preaching Pavilion.
Even so, there were already twenty or thirty people who had arrived earlier, taking up seats in the front rows in the middle. After exchanging a glance, the two hurriedly took their places on cushions in the third row to the left.
All the new disciples who had recently joined were eager and arrived early. In about a quarter of an hour, all the new disciples had arrived.
The crowd didn’t dare to make a racket but spoke in hushed tones, speculating about which Elder would come to impart teachings.
After all, this was a key moment for the new disciples’ initiation. The Sect Elders were worried that ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators might not teach well, so every year at this time, Golden Core Elders would personally come to teach the new disciples the initiation techniques.
About another quarter of an hour passed before someone finally walked in from outside.
The crowd looked up and saw that the person was none other than the beautiful Elder Liu Xuanling, who had been recruiting disciples at the square the day before.
Additionally, she was one of the three highest-cultivating Golden Core Practitioners in Spiritual Snake Peak and held the position of Peak Master.
Of course, all this had been told to them by Chen Qiao when he received them yesterday.
As Chen Qiao had said, their Peak Master was capricious, so he especially warned everyone not to anger the Peak Master, otherwise they might be punished by being sent deep into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave to have a heart-to-heart with a Beauty Snake.
“Pay respects to the Peak Master.”
The disciples quickly stood up and performed their salutations.
Liu Xuanling’s face, beautiful enough to overthrow states and cities, carried a hint of a smile, making her seem as approachable and kind as the girl next door.
Her figure was curvy with both a pronounced bust and hips, and even the loose magic robe she was wearing could not conceal her voluptuous body, with her chest trembling slightly as she moved.
However, no disciple dared to brazenly stare at Liu Xuanling’s chest, lest they be randomly slashed by the beautiful Peak Master’s blade.
Some disciples from noble families had heard elders mention gossip about Liu Xuanling. They knew that in her early years, she hadn’t spared those in the sect who dared to fancy her, with quite a few having their arms and legs broken by her.
There was even an occasion when, during an outing, a direct descendant of a Giant Spirit Sect Inner Sect Elder merely teased her with a comment and was directly killed by her sword, his body completely devoured by her Spiritual Snake without any regard for the strength behind him.
The incident instantly subdued all the disciples within and outside the sect, no longer daring to harbor any improper thoughts about this exquisite beauty.
And this became an essential warning that every generation of old disciples at Spiritual Snake Peak would give to the new disciples, fearing that some clueless newcomer might get themselves involved.
Liu Xuanling walked elegantly to the platform and gracefully took her seat before giving the disciples a nod and instructing, “Alright, take your seats.”
Upon hearing this, everyone found their places and fixed their gaze on Liu Xuanling.
Liu Xuanling’s face lost its smile as she looked at the crowd, lightly parted her red lips, and solemnly said, “Our Beast Taming Sect has a heritage spanning tens of thousands of years, and now has countless cultivation techniques. Each peak of the Outer Sect has its own tradition, and among the Inner Sect branches, there are also secret cultivation methods to be passed down.
However, tracking the roots of these cultivation techniques, they all originate from the ancestral ‘Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture’ passed down by our founders.
Over these tens of thousands of years, our Beast Taming Sect has passed through hundreds of generations, and our predecessors have constantly innovated this technique, deriving many methods to control various Spiritual Beasts, utilizing Lifebound Spiritual Beasts to aid in cultivation and speed up progress, to avoid delay due to nurturing Spiritual Beasts.
Thus, we have the many heritages of the Inner Sect and the one hundred and eight peaks of the Outer Sect.”
Here, she swept her gaze over everyone below the stage and continued, “Among the peaks of the Outer Sect, while some are stronger and some weaker, some more populous and some less, this does not mean that the traditions of lower-ranked peaks are less impressive, nor does it imply that greater numbers equate to greater strength.
The key is whether the disciples of each peak are outstanding enough and have found the Spiritual Beast that best suits them.
You are all of low cultivation, only at the Qi Refining Early Stage, and even if a few of you come from noble families with prepared Spiritual Beasts, with your cultivation, it is impossible to subdue a very powerful Demon Beast.”
At this point, many disciples of ordinary background couldn’t help but look pained as they did not have families to prepare these for them.
Liu Xuanling noticed the expressions of these disciples and smiled lightly, “But you need not worry, our Beast Taming Sect, besides being able to use Spiritual Beasts to aid in cultivation and combat, is also most proficient at nurturing various Spiritual Beasts, in this respect, we’re even stronger than many Demon Beasts’ own evolutionary paths.
Even if during the early stages of cultivation only an ordinary Spiritual Beast is refined as a Lifebound Spiritual Beast, it does not mean that later on, this Spiritual Beast cannot be trained to an incredibly high level.
In fact, such examples abound in our Beast Taming Sect. Every year, among the disciples who join the Inner Sect from the Outer Sect, many come from ordinary backgrounds, starting with relatively weak Lifebound Spiritual Beasts, but later, given opportunities, they train their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts to very formidable levels, sweeping away countless fellow disciples and seizing the chance to join the Inner Sect.”
