Chapter 264: Chapter 226: Catastrophic Sea Monsters
Sìxiàng's Will Transcendence was well on track.
Man proposes, God disposes, Chen Xing had done everything that needed to be done.
Whether the complete metamorphosis of Will could be accomplished within a day was up to the efforts of Sìxiàng itself.
He spent some time in the breeding farm in the backyard, playing with the Twin-fiend Dogs and used up today's routine Skill Points.
It's worth mentioning that the favorability of these little Twin-fiend Dogs had basically risen above 95 points.
Feeding and training, one could provide 6 Skill Point Fragments, and fifty of them could offer three hundred fragments. Together with Taotie, Sìxiàng, and Dong Jun, three Beast Taming creatures, he could obtain a total of 33 Skill Points a day.
Nearly a thousand in a month.
The speed of acquiring Skill Points had reached an extremely fast standard.
However, these daily activities consumed a lot of his time and tied up a substantial part of his energy with these Twin-fiend Dogs. If he left the breeding farm to venture outside, the speed of acquiring Skill Points would greatly decrease.
It could be said to have both advantages and disadvantages, but it was generally a good thing. Find more to read on M-V-L
The breeding of the fifty-three Beast Taming creatures had reached saturation, and it was challenging to expand the scale of the Beast Taming creatures at this stage.
Upon leaving the breeding farm, Chen Xing happened to see his sister returning from outside. These past few days, not only had Chen Xing been busy, but Chen Lingya had also been busy with her own affairs.
Seeing the look of worry on her face, Chen Xing asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Lingya had also been feeling frustrated about several things over the past few days, and she took the opportunity to vent her feelings.
"Didn't I obtain an inheritance in the Ancestral Snail's ruins? My inheritance is a rare evolutionary path, and it seems quite powerful. I've been busy collecting stuff related to evolution."
As she spoke, Chen Lingya couldn't help but complain, "This evolutionary path even has its restrictions and requirements, demanding that the Beast Taming creature's Magic Power far exceed those of its rank."
"So I've been looking for treasures that can enhance the upper limit of a Beast Taming creature's Magic Power. Yesterday, I heard that an auction has..."
"You don't have to buy it," Chen Xing interrupted her.
"Huh?" Chen Lingya's eyes rolled around, and she finally thought of a possibility, "Are the Magic Power fruits at the auction from you?"
Chen Xing found his sister's wild guess amusing, "Do you think that's possible?"
"I think it's possible."
Chen Xing said, "Leave the matter of increasing the upper limit of Magic Power to me."
Then he continued to ask, "Your evolution is quite unique, huh? It has requirements for the upper limit of Magic Power."
The last one with similar requirements was the Dark Realm Arbiter during Sìxiàng's evolution.
"I think the name sounds good too, the evolved form is called the Cataclysmic Ocean-land Beast."
"Is it Little Snail's?"
"Right, there are some evolutions of snail-like creatures in the Ancestral Snail's ruins, and the Cataclysmic Ocean-land Beast is one of them."
"The name does sound quite commanding. Where's Little Snail? Let me see it," Chen Xing hadn't seen Little Snail for some time.
He had no idea what the little guy looked like now.
Chen Lingya, hearing that her brother could solve a big headache she had been dealing with for some time, also felt much relieved.
Her entire demeanor became more relaxed.
She summoned Little Snail.
Having not seen it for a while, Little Snail had grown quite a bit.
A full half a meter tall!
Its white, jade-like shell on its back sprouted many ring-like patterns, and as it grew, this platinum mutated Beast Taming creature looked increasingly mystical.
Chen Xing thought that perhaps being able to obtain the Cataclysmic Ocean-land Beast inheritance was no coincidence.
"Whoa~!!" After not seeing Chen Xing for some time, upon sighting him, Little Snail tilted its head forward, its large eyes at the ends of its antennae strenuously bulging forward, and finally, it recognized Chen Xing.
Then it moved its body and crawled toward Chen Xing.
Chen Xing picked up Little Snail and thought of lemon fried chicken involuntarily; thankfully, Little Snail was an omnivore. If it had been a herbivore, eating fried chicken would have been too hard on it.
However, there was no fried chicken at home, and to make lemon fried chicken, he would have to order the black and white Xuan-colored chicken from the internet.
With this in mind, Chen Xing held Little Snail in one hand and used his other hand to place an order on his cellphone.
Little Snail's antennae eyes swayed slightly, coming very close to the cellphone.
"Children shouldn't look at cell phones; it's easy to become short-sighted."
Chen Xing turned off the cellphone screen and pocketed it, then used his hand to cover Little Snail's two big eyes.
Little Snail uttered a grumbling sound of dissatisfaction.
"Look at you, you had to get so close just to see me earlier, did you become short-sighted?"
Hearing Chen Xing's nagging, Little Snail despondently realized it was as talkative as its owner.
It was like a child visiting relatives during the New Year, who immediately wilts when asked about their academic performance.
In the evening, Sìxiàng knocked on the closed glass door of the balcony, and Chen Xing, wearing a black and white panda pajama, walked over and pushed open the glass door.
As the door opened, a rush of cold air blew in, "Come in."
Sìxiàng bent over to enter the bedroom. As Chen Xing turned on the main light of the bedroom, he noticed Sìxiàng's originally black beak was slightly reddish, as if it were swollen.
Their eyes were bloodshot, filled with red veins.
Its beak was slightly agape, breathing in the air with sharp intakes.
"You've worked hard," Chen Xing patted Sìxiàng's thigh, mainly because it was too tall. With a nearly eight-meter stature, even when bending down, Chen Xing couldn't reach its shoulder.
Fortunately, the bedroom had a high ceiling of five meters.
Otherwise, even if Sìxiàng bent down, it wouldn't have been convenient to enter.
"Master, I've eaten half, and eating more now won't enhance me further; there's only the pure sensation of pain,"
Chen Xing opened the Sìxiàng panel.
[Transcendence] Fleshly Transcendence (met), Soul Transcendence (met), Magic Transcendence (met), Will Transcendence (met)
All four conditions were met.
"Hmm, no need to eat any more," Chen Xing couldn't help but feel emotional internally; with an energy level of one hundred, all four attributes met the standards for transcendence.
The Transcendence Ceremony for the four attributes could finally be performed.
Once Sìxiàng completed the Transcendence Ceremony, he would have his very first genuine Transcendent Beast Taming creature.
There was a time when the Transcendent Level seemed unattainable—an unreachable presence in his eyes, but now, he was only two steps away from that tier.
Transcendence of Sìxiàng and... his own transcendence.
In the notebook of his mentor, it was mentioned that it's best to choose a magic-rich area when a Beast Taming creature undergoes transcendence.
Mainly because performing the transcendence in a magic-rich area could effectively shorten the duration of the ceremony.
The thinner the magic power, the longer it would take.
But where to find such a magic-rich area required consulting professionals.
His mentor had conducted several Transcendence Ceremonies and should know better.
After contacting his mentor, Han Yuning found out that Chen Xing's Beast Taming creature was to undergo the Transcendence Ceremony, yet she wasn't surprised.
She had anticipated this; in fact, she had thought that Chen Xing would perform the ceremony as soon as he returned and was surprised that he had delayed for so long.
However, considering Chen Xing's goal, Han Yuning asked tentatively, "How many Transcendences are you preparing for?"
Chen Xing replied truthfully, "I am preparing for the ceremony for four Transcendences."
The mentor had helped him so much, including providing the specifics of the ceremony for four Transcendences, so there was no need to hide it from her.
"Four Transcendences... you will definitely need a substantial amount of magic power for that. An ordinary place won't suffice, or else your ceremony for four Transcendences might take up to a month,"
Han Yuning said, "But fortunately, you asked me, I'll take you to a place where, if we're lucky, you could complete the Transcendence in one day."
To compress a month's time into one day would mean that the density of magic power there was over thirty times that of a normal place.
"There's no time to lose, let's go right now," Han Yuning urged Chen Xing to head out quickly.
With only close to two days left before the competition, considering the time required for the journey to and fro, there was no time to waste.
Chen Xing had long prepared the materials needed for the evolution ceremony.
After changing into casual clothes, Chen Xing recalled Sìxiàng and then left for his mentor's house.
Upon arrival, Han Yuning asked Chen Xing to wait for a moment.
About ten minutes later, Han Zhaobao descended from the skies astride the Hurricane Dragon Falcon King.
Seeing the Hurricane Dragon Falcon King, Chen Xing immediately understood that their destination was likely not nearby.
Han Zhaobao reached out a hand to pull Chen Xing up, teasing as he did so, "Young Chen, you're about to perform the Transcendence Ceremony so quickly. You haven't even started school yet, right? To Transcend before school even begins, how would your seniors feel?"
The three of them mounted the back of the Hurricane Dragon Falcon King, which spread its wings and soared high into the sky.
Standing on its back, Chen Xing thought he might be unsteady and need to lie down.
But the flight of the Hurricane Dragon Falcon King was unexpectedly smooth, like an experienced veteran driver.
Moreover, Chen Xing noticed a thin, azure circular barrier around it—it was this barrier that blocked all the high-altitude winds outside.
After about an hour of flight, the vast plains below were sparsely populated with buildings.
Only dense forests remained, along with the occasional low-lying peaks.
As they began to descend, their target was a series of connected low-lying peaks below.
The central area of the peaks even formed a naturally shaped valley.
Glittering lights appeared below, and after turning a corner, Chen Xing was surprised to find a cluster of buildings deep within the valley!
Since it was already night, he couldn't see the details clearly, but there were at least a hundred structures, like a small village.
These buildings were not tall, with the tallest being no more than two to three stories.
Some of the houses even had lanterns or candles hanging in front of them.
Hearing the commotion in the sky, some Beast Tamers emerged from the buildings, and there were also some transcendent beasts standing on the rooftops or in the village streets.
But upon recognizing the Hurricane Dragon Falcon King, their alertness dissipated.
"Go about your business," Han Zhaobao jumped down from the valley and waved his hand.
The Beast Tamers who were on guard dispersed, blending back into the shadows.
"This is a Resource Point owned by my uncle," Han Yuning explained briefly.
Chen Xing immediately understood.
However, he couldn't help thinking about the Resource Points he had claimed—those located in the wilderness and realized that inspecting a Resource Point was not a simple task after obtaining the right to one.
Security was the first concern, followed by mining. To Chen Xing, security was paramount.
Han Yuning said, "Wherever there is a Resource Point, magic power is usually much denser than in other places. There is a specifically built Mana Pool deep in the valley, rich with magic power dozens of times more concentrated than anywhere else. I performed the Transcendence Ceremony for one of my creatures here before."
"Follow me," said Han Zhaobao.
Chen Xing followed Han Zhaobao down a small path to the deepest part of the valley.
Upon arriving, Chen Xing could feel that the air around him... indeed seemed a bit different.
Normally, an ordinary person without undergoing a Transcendence Ceremony wouldn't be able to detect the magic power in the air, but because the magic power in the air was so rich, even breathing felt sweet to Chen Xing.
