Chapter 27: Taming the Beast

  Zhilong didn't hold back and once again pointed out, the light spot turned into a sword, but it seemed to be controlled again. Chen Bing also disappeared in the same way, dissolving into the forest.

  In the dark forest, Ye Chen's mouth was agape. How powerful was this person he had saved? A mortal realm eighth stage and a mortal realm sixth stage cultivator were actually unable to withstand even one move and died instantly.

  "Ah...!" Long's face changed, covering his chest, painfully coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood, bending over, one hand supporting the tree behind him, as if he might fall down at any moment.

  Ye Chen was shocked and quickly came out from behind the tree, supporting Xiao Long and letting him sit down to rest. At the same time, he took out that bottle of elixir and wanted to give it to Xiao Long to take.

  Chen Long shook his head and said to Ye Chen, "No need, I've taken Qingling liquid before, taking other medicines for a short time won't have any effect, so don't waste these pellets on me."

  Ye Chen didn't know what effects these pills had, but looking at Xun Long's expression, it seemed like he knew something about them. He opened his mouth to ask Xun Long, but swallowed the words back down. The pill in his own hand, he himself didn't even know its name or effects, wasn't this suspicious? Ye Chen silently nodded and put the pill away in his bosom, anyway knowing that it had a great effect on healing injuries was enough.

  "How are you feeling now? Are you okay?" Ye Chen asked with some concern, looking at Xiang Long and finding that his condition hadn't improved much, it was clear that the previous two blows had consumed a lot of Xiang Long's strength.

  "My physical condition is very bad now, but after entering here and recovering a bit, there shouldn't be too much danger. This time I really have to thank you, otherwise I would have died more than twice." Long Chen smiled with difficulty at Ye Chen.

  Yedu looked at his opponent who could still joke and smiled: "Thanks, I won't need it anymore. It's dawn, I'm going back, you take care of yourself!"

  As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave. Ye Chen didn't worry that the other party would die like this, after all, a First Heaven cultivator had many tricks up their sleeve. Even if Xiang Long looked seriously injured now, if they were to really fight, Ye Chen believed that he might not even be able to kill him, and might even be counter-killed instead.

  Watching Ye Chen stand up decisively and turn around to leave, Zhen Long's expression changed slightly, he raised his hand and called out: "Ye Chen, wait!"

  "Is there anything else?" Ye Chen asked curiously, turning his head. He had made up his mind that if the other party still asked him to protect something, he would definitely not agree. He had already done his best to help others, and couldn't just keep doing things for them without taking care of himself.

  Xuan Long's face changed unpredictably, and finally he spoke firmly to Ye Chen: "Little brother, thank you for saving my life. There's nothing good to repay you with, but here's a boring thing, I'll give it to you." As he said that, Xuan Long took out a mysterious-looking book from his bosom, flicked his hand, and the book floated towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Dun stretched out his hand to catch it, and wanted to take a look at what kind of book this was. If it was too valuable, he wouldn't be able to have it for himself.

  "Yechen little brother, don't continue reading here, it's foggy and not suitable for reading. Let's wait until we get back to read again. Since we've met, it's fate, maybe we'll meet again someday. I advise you to leave this Night Star City early, staying in the city isn't safe either." Zhenlong said to Yechen who wanted to keep reading, and then he walked away with his hand supporting the tree trunk.

  Ye Chen's expression froze, "Where are you going?"

  "I'll go where I should go, and we'll meet again if fate permits." The voice came from the misty fog, Zhen Long had already entered deeper into the forbidden land, Ye Chen waved his hand, but didn't know what to say.

  In just a few short hours, the two went from meeting to knowing each other, leaving a deep impression on each other, but as for their backgrounds and details, neither of them understood much about the other, nor was it necessary to be so clear, after all, they were just fleeting acquaintances.

  Ye Chen watched as Long Yan left, stood for a while, then turned and left.

  The sky gradually brightened, and the fog in the forest at dawn became even thicker. Even the visibility at the edge was very low. Ye Chen walked out of the white mist, with the book given by Ben Long already tucked into his bosom. There were quite a few restless movements in Ye Chen's bosom now, and after coming out, he also carefully looked around, fortunately, there was no one.

  The sky had just lit up, and very few people got up so early. Even if someone got up early for practice or other things, they wouldn't come near the Mo family's estate. The tragic state of the Mo family told everyone that a forbidden land was indeed forbidden, and one shouldn't try to be lucky.

  Ye Chen walked all the way without drawing attention, and the forbidden area was not far from the civilian district anyway. Ye Chen soon returned home, opening the door to see a worried-looking Chen Tao. Looking at Chen Tao's worried face, Ye Chen felt warmth in his heart and smiled slightly.

  "Hey, you're finally back? I was worried to death, afraid that Xiaoxue would find out it was me who let you out. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bear her gaze. How was it? Is it true that the city lord activated the protective array of the city?" Chen Tao whispered to Ye Chen, his face full of curiosity.

  "Haha, got you worried, yeah, the Night City Lord has activated the city's protective array, and the demonic beasts have retreated. However, I think this is just a temporary measure, and it's possible that the demonic beasts will attack again soon." Ye Chen said, his expression turning serious. He thought of what Long Yang had said, and wondered if even Night Star City was truly safe. Did Long Yang know something?

  "Attacking again? With the city's grand array, even if a level 9 demonic beast came, it would be useless, right? Don't those demonic beasts really fear death?" Chen Tao exclaimed in disbelief.

  Ye Chen shook his head, recalling the pale face of Ye Wu Men, "The City Protection Array? Maybe the City Protection Array won't be able to activate at that time, Chen Tao, you go back and gather your things, prepare to leave the city at any moment."

  Chen Tao's expression also turned serious, "What's wrong? Can the city-protecting array only be used once? Wasn't it said that as long as there is a demon core, it can be activated? Is it possible that in such a large Star City, there isn't even a demon core?"

  Ye Chen's expression was solemn, "The demon core does exist, but whether it can be activated, that's really hard to say. In any case, making early preparations isn't a bad thing. Here are some credit points, you take them and use them."

  As he spoke, Ye Chen handed an anonymous credit card to Chen Tao. Chen Tao's face changed, and he didn't take the credit card from Ye Chen. "What are you doing? Even if I want to leave, how can I take your credit card? You and Xiaoxue's life is much harder than mine. Alright, you take good care of Xiaoxue and yourself, I'll go back and pack up first, and contact you later."

  Chen Tao said goodbye and left without even having breakfast, still not taking Ye Chen's credit card. Ye Chen thought about what might happen in the future and was solemn, it took a while to wake up. Xiaoxue hadn't gotten out of bed yet, Ye Chen returned to his room, sat for a while, calming his mind, then looked at this time's harvest.

  A long sword, three credit cards, two bottles of dan medicine, a secret book, and an unknown book. The credit points on the credit card made Ye Chen's mood excited for a while, but after this period of time, the excitement gradually subsided. Although the long sword was a good sword, Ye Chen couldn't use it openly and honestly. As the second family of the Su family in Xing City, they were absolutely strong, and as a tribute to Qin Mu, the long sword he used would definitely be remembered by the Su family's disciples. Using it at night was okay, but using it during the day was like throwing oneself into the net. So although the sword was good, it wasn't suitable for use.

  As for the two bottles of dan medicine, one of them is still quite practical in terms of effect. As for what kind of effect the other bottle of dan medicine has, Ye Chen doesn't know and dares not to use it. It seems that he needs to find some books on dan medicine, otherwise even if he has good dan medicine in his hands, he won't know whether he can take it or not, which would be frustrating.

  He put down the Dan medicine, and Ye Chen picked up the Jiuyao Sword Book again, carefully reading it through. The Jiuyao Sword has nine transformations, each with enormous power. In this book that Ye Chen obtained, there were only three complete transformations: Split, Merge, and Rotate. As for the other transformations, they were not introduced in the book, and Ye Chen had no way of knowing them. What made Ye Chen depressed was that this sword manual could only be cultivated at the Xiantian realm, and he could only stare blankly at it!

  After a careful look, although he couldn't cultivate it, he could still learn from it. Yedu's swordsmanship was all self-cultivated and didn't adhere to any one method. His understanding of swordsmanship had reached a very deep level. After reading the secret book of Jiuyao Sword, Yedu still gained a lot.

  After a while, Ye Chen finally put down the secret book of Jiuyao Sword and picked up the last book. This was given to him by Longyin before he left, but he didn't know what it was. Was it also a secret book? Ye Chen's heart was full of guesses.

  This is an ancient old book, very thin, with only a few pages, but absolutely not printed paper. The cover has no words, just a painting, a giant dragon roaring and dancing, with an inexplicable aura of dominance. Just looking at the cover gives Yedust a feeling of oppression emanating from it.

  Ye Chen was startled, and hurriedly calmed his mind. After a while, he looked at the book in his hand again, and it was still the same, with the same pressure. However, Ye Chen's mind was now calm, and he had mentally prepared himself, so he didn't feel much panic. He calmly turned to the next page.

  It was still a painting, depicting a snow-white tiger, roaring in the mountains and forests. Ye Chen felt as if he was facing a fierce tiger rushing down from the mountain, his spirit dazed for a moment, a black light flashing through his mind, Ye Chen's head hurt, and he instantly came back to his senses.

  Ye Chen stared at the book in his hand in shock, unable to speak. Reading a book could make him dizzy and even faint, which really shocked Ye Chen. At the same time, he also felt a kind of inexplicable panic. If he hadn't woken up earlier, would he have been immersed in that daze all along?

  Ye Chen looked at the book in his hand again, still a painting of a tiger roaring in the mountains. A roar that pierced through the soul came out of the tiger's mouth, making Ye Chen's whole body tremble uncontrollably. With mental preparation, Ye Chen also circulated his internal energy while looking at the painting. The sharp internal energy was like an extraordinary sword, and the roar was instantly cut into fragments and dissipated.

  This painting is even more eerie than the cover, constantly consuming Ye Chen's internal energy at all times. Ye Chen's internal energy was not much to begin with, and at this rate of consumption, Ye Chen wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. Ye Chen quickly scanned the page, which had the Tiger Roar Mountain Forest painting, as well as rows of tiny text.

  Ye Chen endured the consumption of his internal force and finished reading those lines of small characters, which were only a few hundred words in total. It wasn't many, and he didn't take long to finish reading them. Ye Chen had no choice but to close the book now. His body felt empty and hollow, and he felt a wave of weakness.

  Ye Chen's face was complex, through the small words introduction, Ye Chen knew that this was a book of reversing heaven, and didn't understand why Xiang Long wanted to give it to himself. Was it just because he had saved him once? Ye Chen didn't think that just one life-saving favor could be enough for someone to give him such a heaven-defying thing.

  Tame Beast!

  Yes, this book is talking about the Beast Taming Spell, and it's not just any ordinary beast. Through its introduction, it turns out to be an ancient divine beast, with the top ones being the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. These are divine beasts! Any one of them has the power to destroy the heavens and earth. Just thinking about having such a divine beast for oneself makes one feel like they can roam freely in heaven and on earth!

  Ye Chen thought that he had a strong yearning, and he couldn't wait to ride a divine beast and roam the world!

  Thinking of the content in the book, Ye Chen's excited and joyful expression suddenly disappeared. This book seemed to go against heaven, but it was extremely difficult. Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment wash over him.

  Yes, if you can tame a divine beast, you will be able to dominate the world and be proud of it for eternity! However, first you need to find such a divine beast, and that is when it has just been born, infuse its primordial blood into your body, achieve spiritual harmony with it, and then use the Beast Taming Technique to tame it.

  But where can you find divine beasts in today's world? Moreover, even if there are divine beasts, they may not necessarily be newly born, isn't this a scam? No wonder Xiang Long would give this to himself, this is completely a useless book!

  I don't know what the following introductions are, but if they're all about driving divine beasts, Ye Chen can be so depressed that he vomits blood. These three third-level demon beasts are all congenital strongmen, much stronger than himself. A single sneeze from a divine beast could kill him hundreds of times, and now he doesn't dare to look for it.
