Chapter 1207 - I Want To Go Home!
Liu Wuxie possessed deep knowledge of the language of beastkind, yet he had not practiced the Beast-Taming Art. Instead, he relied on wit and insight to subdue them.
On Anlu Star, for instance, he had won over the Astral Moon Bird with sheer ability, persuading it to escort them away willingly.
The obstacle lay in his cultivation. Though he understood the Beast-Taming Art, he lacked the strength to practice it. Knowing the beast language and mastering the Beast-Taming Art was a vastly different endeavor altogether.
The former allowed communication, while the latter allowed one to seize an astral beast's primordial spirit, bind it with a contract, and compel obedience.
"You also know the Beast-Taming Art?" He Yingwu blurted out, his mouth falling open in surprise. The revelation left him staring in shock, as he never expected that Liu Wuxie was capable of wielding such a skill.
They stood back-to-back, ensuring the twelve elders could not overhear their exchange. Even He Yingwu kept his expression hidden from those outside.
Years ago, Liu Wuxie had crossed paths with the Beast Master Gate. The sect master himself taught him the Beast-Taming Art, but Liu Wuxie never practiced it afterward. Now, he finally brought it forth, intending to familiarize himself with it.
Closing his eyes, he sank into cultivation. Strange texts surfaced within his soul sea and formed the script of beastkind civilization. He lingered in meditation for three days before finally rising on the fourth. When he opened his eyes, bizarre laws shimmered within their depths.
"Interesting," he murmured. "I didn't expect the changes to be so profound after merging the Beast-Taming Art with faith energy. If I continue, it might even evolve into the Great Beast-Taming Art, allowing me to summon astral beasts to serve at my command."
He had practiced the art as a precaution. Hunting a handful of astral beasts would cost him only a single day. The rest of his time could be dedicated to cultivation. With the Nine Heavenly Dragon Forms already at a bottleneck, he knew he would need to step into the Origin Conversion Realm to attempt the fourth form.
"Let's hunt astral beasts," Liu Wuxie declared. Combat was the best crucible for tempering his new mastery.
