Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 425: Chapter 394: Three-legged Golden Crow

Seeing his companion trying to stifle a laugh, Wen Zebin felt incredibly awkward. He had no choice but to look to the sky and change the subject. ”Ahem, Elder Bai Long, what’s going on?”

The white-haired woman followed Wen Zebin’s gaze. After a moment of contemplation, a faint smile graced her beautiful face. ”Another member of an Extraordinary Royal Family is about to be born!”

’What’s more, it looks like it was the help of a human Breeder that allowed it to complete this final step of its transformation.’

’Even without a contracted Beast Master, it should still side with the Human Race after its transformation is complete.’

A small sun hung suspended in the sky, its scorching light bathing Mo Yuan City and lending a touch of brilliance to the city’s slightly dilapidated state from the recent riots.

At one point, the light erupted, radiating outward like a nuclear blast. From within the halo, a bird’s crisp, melodious cry suddenly rang out.

The bird’s cry wasn’t particularly loud, but it echoed like a temple bell in the hearts of every Beast Master in Mo Yuan City.

Some Pet Beasts, lacking in strength and comprehension, had been stuck at bottlenecks, unable to advance an inch. Upon hearing the cry, they experienced an epiphany. Their bottlenecks instantly loosened, and their Power Levels surged.

Some human Beast Masters also felt the miraculous effect; stimulated by the cry, their Spiritual Power increased slightly.

In the sky, the bird’s cry was crisp and clear as the halo of light expanded and fiery clouds filled the heavens. The sight was truly magnificent.

A scruffy, middle-aged man stood on a gentle slope not far from Mo Yuan City. Witnessing the scene, he couldn’t help but mutter, ”A celestial phenomenon... a Legend is born!”

”To think this plan would yield such an unexpected bonus...”

Behind him, two youths and two middle-aged men were also gazing at the sky. The middle-aged men were covered in blood, clearly wounded, and their faces were unnaturally pale.

But at this moment, none of them cared about their condition. Their gazes were fixed intently on the sky.

A golden-haired man materialized out of thin air. He had chiseled features, a handsome face, an upright posture, and a powerful, well-built physique.

The golden-haired man was also watching the sky. After a moment, he suddenly spoke. ”This new member of an Extraordinary Royal Family... I wonder if it’s male or female. If it’s female, she and I could definitely produce the most exceptional offspring.”

”COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! Even if it is female, it has nothing to do with you!”

Hearing the golden-haired man’s words, the scruffy man broke into a fit of coughing. He then adopted a deadpan, scholarly tone to explain, ”You’re a Golden Dragon, and that’s a Three-legged Golden Crow. Different family, different genus. You’re reproductively isolated. You can’t have offspring.”

”Elder Lu, stop spouting nonsense. At the Legendary Level, the essence of ’that sort of thing’ is an exchange of Energy. As long as the Energy exchange is compatible, we can have offspring!”

”You think I’m still that clueless little lizard I used to be?” The golden-haired man shook his head, his tone suddenly shifting to one of disdain. ”Forget it. You’re an old bachelor, a virgin for over two hundred years. Talking to you about this is like lighting a candle for a blind man—a total waste of wax.”

”Pfft!” Behind them, the two youths exchanged a glance and finally couldn’t hold it in, letting out a laugh.

It wasn’t that they meant to laugh... they just couldn’t help it. They quickly suppressed their chuckles and went back to looking serious. They had no choice. Even with their noble statuses, they had to show respect to this man.

The scruffy man before them, the one who had rescued them from their plight, was a Legendary Level Beast Master.

The golden-haired man beside him was his Legendary Pet Beast—a Golden Dragon.

When a Pet Beast advances to the Legendary Level, not only does its power undergo an earth-shattering transformation, but it also gains the ability to assume a human form.

The golden-haired man was just such a terrifying being.

Earlier, they had faced an attack from the Vice Sect Leader of the Black Divine Teachings. Even after playing all their trump cards, they were only barely clinging to life.

In the nick of time, this very golden-haired man had arrived and, with a single strike, repelled an opponent who was suspected to be a Half-Step Legend.

The opponent had been wise; the very instant he saw the golden-haired man, he fled without a moment’s hesitation, showing no intention of fighting.

And yet this Legendary Level expert, a being that even they with their high status had to look up to, was talking about nothing but producing offspring and had even exposed his own Beast Master’s biggest secret.

’As the illusion of his transcendent power shattered, they all began to wonder if they were about to be silenced forever.’

Listening to his own Pet Beast berate him, the scruffy man’s face turned black as a pot. ’If word of this gets out,’ he thought, ’how will I ever maintain my magnificent, lofty image?’

At this thought, he abruptly turned and shot a meaningful glare at the four people behind him.

The four immediately took the hint. One of the black-haired youths reacted instantly. He scratched his ear and began a convincing performance. ”What’s going on? My ears... Why can’t I hear anything all of a sudden?”

Only then did the scruffy man retract his gaze, satisfied. He turned to the golden-haired man with an exasperated look. ”Little Jinzi, I’m telling you, even if she is a female, she’s completely out of your league.”

”She’s likely the Pet Beast of the Xiahou Family’s Seventh Ancestor—that is, the Pet Beast of Xiahou Monarch, one of the seven monarchs from when Mo Yuan City was founded. When Xiahou Monarch passed away, she had already reached Holy Spirit Peak. All these years, she must have been using the art of Nirvana Rebirth to maintain her state, waiting for the slimmest chance to break through.”

”And to think she actually did it!”

The scruffy man looked at his Pet Beast, the golden-haired man, and said pointedly, ”If she really is Xiahou Monarch’s former Pet Beast, then going by age, she’s old enough to be your grandmother.”

Hearing this, the golden-haired man wasn’t discouraged in the slightest. In fact, he grew even more excited.

His voice trembled with excitement. ”Isn’t that even better? I love older women!”

The scruffy man facepalmed, momentarily speechless.

He offered a helpless reminder. ”So, I take it you’re giving up on Xiaobai?”

”Xiaobai? Oh, I can just make her the second...” the golden-haired man started to say smugly.

The scruffy man quickly backed away from him. ”That kind of talk is dangerous. You’re asking for a beating!”

...

At the Teleportation Plaza, Li Qian, Hongbing Monarch, and Xiahou Lan had all arrived.

Wen Zebin shot Xiahou Lan a complex look. ”The Three-legged Golden Crow... If it completes its evolution, it will undoubtedly become a pillar of support for the Human Race!”

Xiahou Lan understood Wen Zebin’s implication and immediately declared, ”Indeed. The Ancestral Beast has rendered meritorious service to the Human Race in the past!”

’That’s what I’m saying, anyway,’ Xiahou Lan thought. ’In reality, after so many years have passed, I have no idea what the Ancestral Beast is thinking now.’

’After all, it doesn’t have a Beast Master to constrain it anymore.’

Just as they were speaking, the small sun in the sky began to change. A gigantic avian silhouette materialized within the golden orb.

The details of the silhouette were indistinct, but its three legs were unmistakable.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but murmur, ”The incarnation of fire and light... the Legendary Pet Beast, the Three-legged Golden Crow!”

Everyone looked to the sky. The next moment, a trail of iridescent light pulled the small sun, causing it to fall from the heavens.

The small sun landed in the Teleportation Plaza, bathing it in a light so blinding no one could open their eyes. A moment later, the light began to recede, and a graceful figure slowly emerged from within the glow.

It was a woman, tall and striking, with a commanding, heroic presence. She wore a suit of red and gold leather armor, looking like a female general returning from battle.

This general had a mane of wavy hair, the color of brilliant, fiery red. At the center of her brow was a vertical, golden mark that flashed with light, resembling a third eye.

Such a woman emerging from the light—divine, holy, noble, and extraordinary—seemed utterly otherworldly. She was like... a queen, looking down upon all of creation!
