Sotis, to prevent the disciples of the Beast Commanding Sect from becoming excessively greedy, there is even a rule that for each advancent in a Great Realm, they can contract one additional Spirit Beast.
Take Mu Youyi, for instance. Besides the companion beast he grew up with, he has three other contracted spirit beasts, all of Rank-4.
Yet, there are distinctions even among True Spirit Bloodlines.
"The Poisonous Dragon that Sect Master Chen slayed in Yun ng Ze, its condensed Multicolored Python True Spirit’s Blood, ranks among the top three grades in the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect’s compendium. It is also key to cultivating a certain forbidden Cultivation Technique, which is why it attracted the attention of the Central State once they found out."
Finally, Mu Youyi tactfully revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Oh, that Poisonous Dragon which wreaked havoc along both banks of the Eastern Wilderness and East Wu, devouring over ten thousand humans, was actually raised by your Beast Commanding Sect? It seems, the blood feud of the tens of thousands of people under my Five Elents Sect is due to be avenged on your Beast Commanding Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai’s face turned furious, and the massive shadow of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body began to erge behind him.
"Sect Master Chen misunderstands; it was the order of the Central State’s Ten Thousand Spirits Sect. As their branch in the East Continent, our Beast Commanding Sect can only impart and guide in the cultivation technique accordingly."
"The Poisonous Dragon’s havoc along the banks of Yun ng Ze was also due to my uncle-master’s abrupt demise during his attempt to break through to Divinity Transformation, leaving no instructions. Therefore, our Beast Commanding Sect only learned of this matter after the news ca from the Central State a few years ago."
"Had we known the origins of the Poisonous Dragon earlier, our Nascent Soul Elders would certainly have acted to bring it back to the Beast Commanding Sect."
Mu Youyi thought he might be able to contend with Chen Mobai but deed it unnecessary.
After all, the Poisonous Dragon was already dead.
Were it not for the paramount importance of the True Spirit Transformation thod, a legacy of the Central State’s Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, he wouldn’t have co specially to find Chen Mobai today.
"Even so, your Beast Commanding Sect’s responsibility is not small. If that Yu Sheng Yan were still alive, I would certainly draw my sword."
Chen Mobai’s fury subsided slightly, but his deanor remained cold.
"Sect Master Chen, there are things between us that do not need to be made too explicit. I won’t say more, but so ti ago, our sect’s disciples saw a spirit snake undergoing tribulation above the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, employing precisely the True Spirit Transformation thod from the source of our sect in the Central State’s Ten Thousand Spirits Sect. You owe an explanation."
Seeing Chen Mobai had no intention of resolving the issue proactively, Mu Youyi began to exert the pressure of a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
Chen Mobai: "What explanation do you want?"
Mu Youyi: "Either give the spirit snake practicing the True Spirit Transformation thod to our Beast Commanding Sect, or Sect Master Chen, you deal with it yourself and promise never to pass on this cultivation technique, and we shall consider this as our Beast Commanding Sect owing you a favor. In the future, during frontier expansions or disputes over the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, I am willing to side with you."
This was a decision Mu Youyi made after much thought.
After all, when it cos to the fundantal Cultivation Techniques of a sect, it is more vital than life and death for the Tianhe Realm.
Especially since above the Beast Commanding Sect is the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, which fears being found out and punished, because any Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Beast Commanding Sect wanting to break through to Divinity Transformation must return to the Central State.
But the Five Elents Sect’s strength is also evident, and currently, the Beast Commanding Sect is no match.
The only opportunity to overco Chen Mobai was also lost after Earth Virtue receded.
Therefore, Mu Youyi could only use the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill as leverage to see if negotiations could succeed.
"After slaying the Poisonous Dragon Patriarch, I obtained a technique capable of refining the True Spirit Bloodline, which I passed on to the Spirit Beasts I rear. I didn’t expect it to be a cultivation technique of your Beast Commanding Sect."
"I also understand the rules here in the East Continent. Although I was unaware of the matter, it nonetheless counts as breaching taboo."
"Since Dao Friend Mu has co this far in conversation today, I will also show you so respect. As long as I remain in this world, I assure you that this cultivation technique shall only be practiced by my spirit beast and will never be passed on to a second spirit beast."
"But as for handing it over or even executing it, you ask for the impossible, as the spirit beast and I share a bond of deep gratitude akin to kinship and close friendship."
"Words have been exchanged, decide for yourself whether we are friends or foes, Dao Friend."
Chen Mobai was not one to make enemies everywhere. Although the Beast Commanding Sect’s power is inferior to the Five Elents Sect, it is backed by a major sect in the Central State.
Until reaching Divinity Transformation, Chen Mobai had no desire to provoke it temporarily.
Thus, he restrained his temper and offered Mu Youyi a step down.
"If that is the case, I hope Sect Master Chen keeps his promise."
To his surprise, Mu Youyi did not protest at all; upon hearing these words, nodded in agreent.
He didn’t even ntion an oath.
He seemingly had great faith in Chen Mobai’s character.
After finishing the tea, Chen Mobai personally escorted Mu Youyi out of the Five Elents Comrce Association.
Watching his departing figure, Chen Mobai thought again of Earth Virtue.
These individuals who have cultivated to Nascent Soul Perfection, one by one, are more cautious with their lives than he imagined.
Nevertheless, this also results from his fearso reputation built on the East Wu Battlefield.
Had they not known of his formidable strength and lacked absolute certainty in prevailing, Earth Virtue and Mu Youyi would not have been so accommodating.
Indeed, a powerful fist brings fearlessness wherever you go, and everyone is willing to be reasonable with you.
At this mont, Chen Mobai felt a subtle, indescribable pressure.
He looked up in the direction of the Nine Heavens Tower.
