Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: The Difference Between Spiritual Beasts and Demon Beasts

Liu Xuanling recounted the origin of the Sect’s cultivation technique, then said, “Since our Beast Taming Sect’s cultivation technique requires taming Spiritual Beasts for combat, it necessitates that our own Divine Sense is far stronger than that of the Spiritual Beasts. Otherwise, we cannot achieve this.

Therefore, disciples of our Beast Taming Sect have always been unique in the cultivation of the Divine Soul, far surpassing most cultivators in this world.

Moreover, every Spiritual Beast you control will consume a portion of your spirit, and if you tame too many, it will become a burden to you, which is extremely detrimental to cultivation.

So in the future, when you want to tame Spiritual Beasts, you must be cautious not to indiscriminately tame any Spiritual Beast you come across. You must consider whether you truly need this type of Spiritual Beast. If not, it’s better not to waste your spiritual power, lest you be hindered by too many Spiritual Beasts in your cultivation.”

She seemed to think of something and suddenly laughed, “Of course, there are exceptions. Inside the Inner Sect, there are a few powerful Elders who have tamed leaders of Demon Beast Tribes, the Demon Kings, and they can command their original subordinates through these Demon Kings, which is one way to avoid depleting their own spirit.”

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the disciples below lit up, feeling greatly enlightened.

If they could also tame a leader of a Demon Beast Tribe, wouldn’t they gain the loyalty of a large group of Demon Beasts?

Liu Xuanling looked at these disciples with a smiling gaze, then slowly continued to dampen their spirits, “If you have enough resources to maintain a tribe of Demon Beasts, of course, you can command a large number of Demon Beasts in battle.

But, can you afford that?

Let’s not talk about those of you from ordinary backgrounds. Even among those of you from noble families, can your families truly provide unlimited resources?

I’m afraid that even if you drain your family treasures dry, you won’t be able to maintain so many Demon Beasts!”

With these words, the little enthusiasm that had just ignited in the hearts of the disciples was thoroughly doused.

Qin Feng looked around and suddenly felt like laughing.

He noticed that this Peak Master seemed to take some perverse pleasure in demoralizing these junior disciples.

Because of the Demon Refining Pot he possessed, he didn’t care about taming the leaders of Demon Beasts. As long as he could repair the Demon Refining Pot in the future, wouldn’t all the Demon Beasts in the world be at his command? Thus, he didn’t harbor any other thoughts like the rest, and he wasn’t affected by Liu Xuanling’s words.

Then he heard Liu Xuanling continue, “Moreover, those Demon Beasts led by a Demon King are different from the Spiritual Beasts you refine on your own; they can resist.

If those Demon Beasts don’t obey commands at critical moments or even rebel, it’s best that you don’t even dream about it. With your current strength, even if you truly gain the loyalty of a leader of a Demon Beast Tribe, you won’t be able to withstand other Demon Beasts’ attacks.” @@novelbin@@

She wasn’t merely joking with these new disciples and promptly added, “So you better sincerely choose a Spiritual Beast with decent potential as your Lifebound Spiritual Beast and focus all your resources on it.

Lifebound Spiritual Beasts are intimately connected to your cultivation. If you can cultivate your Lifebound Spiritual Beast to the Foundation Establishment Realm, you can let the Spiritual Beast nourish your cultivation, raising your cultivation to a higher realm.”

The various disciples below came back to their senses, looking helplessly at the beautiful female Peak Master on the stage. Since we have no chance of subduing a leader of the Demon Beasts, why bother telling us all this?

Liu Xuanling ignored their gazes, skipped over the previous topic, and asked, “Do you know the difference between Demon Beasts and Spiritual Beasts?”

A scholarly-looking young disciple said, “Spiritual Beasts are naturally born with spiritual nature and are generally more docile, whereas Demon Beasts refer to those of the fierce and brutal nature from the Demon Clan.”

Liu Xuanling gave that disciple a glance and said indifferently, “What you’ve described are the definitions of Spiritual Beasts and Demon Beasts according to other sects. For our Beast Taming Sect, those under our control are Spiritual Beasts; those not under our control can all be categorized as Demon Beasts.”

“Isn’t that a bit too arbitrary?”

The young man asked, somewhat puzzled, “Those gentle Spiritual Beasts wouldn’t harm us humans without reason. I think they should still be classified with the rest of the Spiritual Beasts.”

“Ha…”

Liu Xuanling curled her vivid red lips, revealing a hint of mocking smile, “Gentle? That is all relative. If those so-called gentle Spiritual Beasts you speak of gained formidable power, they would inevitably engage in countless slaughters.

During the Ancient Great Tribulation when beings from All Realms invaded, innumerable members of the Demon Clan bred within the Biluo Great World were seduced by the Demon World, and they turned against the Human Clan, causing untold carnage. Countless members of our clan fell to the claws of those gentle Spiritual Beasts you mention.

Moreover, their betrayal came so abruptly that many Sects were utterly unprepared. Thus, when the battles began, numerous Sects were caught off guard by the rebellion of their own Spiritual Beasts, which in collusion with the Demon World’s armies breached the Mountain Gate’s Great Array and severed many lineages.

Those rebellious Spiritual Beasts included the Spiritual Cat, Spiritual Fox, Spiritual Crane, Spiritual Bird, Spiritual Mouse, Spiritual Mink, and all manner of other beasts you would label gentle.”

Upon hearing this, the disciples below were in uproar.

None could have imagined that the Cultivation World had such a history.

Some disciples, hailing from noble families, recalled that their households also nurtured several docile Spiritual Beasts.

While seemingly cute, those Spiritual Beasts were not without Attack Power. Should they launch a sudden ambush, they could indeed cause serious injury or death within the family.

If those Spiritual Beasts really conspired with outsiders to attack their own people, it would be nearly impossible to guard against.

After all, in a typical situation, no one would suspect that Spiritual Beasts they had raised for many years would turn against them.

Liu Xuanling continued, “What you call ‘gentle’ only exists when they are weak. They show this side to you only because of their lack of strength.

Just like you, if you possessed the power to dominate the Southern Domain, would you still sit here obediently listening to me ramble?

Similarly, if those Demon Beasts possessed formidable power, they too would claim a domain. Even if they didn’t actively bring harm to the world, what about their progeny? What about those of the Demon Clan under their rule?

The term ‘Spiritual Beast’ is merely a designation we of the Human Clan have imposed to distinguish some relatively tranquil Demon Beasts; it’s a name we forced upon them.

Yet in the hearts of all Demon Beasts, they only acknowledge their identity within the Demon Clan.

Thus, within the Beast Taming Sect, only those under our control are defined as Spiritual Beasts; any that are uncontrollable are Demon Beasts.”

Her gaze swept over the crowd, her expression solemn, and her eyes authoritative as she spoke with a cold voice, “Remember this well, our Beast Taming Sect was established during the Ancient Great Tribulation, a time when the Human Clan nearly faced extinction.

Since our Sect’s founding, we have endured endless conflicts and suffered innumerable casualties, all to secure the chance for future generations to peacefully practice Cultivation.

Now, Divine State is peaceful, each region has the chance to recuperate, thanks to the ceaseless battles fought by our ancestral predecessors.

However, this doesn’t mean we are safe now. In fact, countless dangers still lurk in the shadows; it’s just that your Cultivation is too low to be privy to these matters.”

Here, her expression softened a little, and she didn’t continue the topic any further. Instead, she shifted focus, “Let’s drop this subject. If you don’t even make it into the Inner Sect, you might never have the chance to learn about these things, living your entire life under the protection of the Beast Taming Sect without encountering too much danger.

Next, I will explain to you the Cultivation Techniques of Spiritual Snake Peak so that you may sooner Refine your own Lifebound Spiritual Beasts and assist in your Cultivation.”
