Beast Taming: I Have an Immortal Mansion

After a long while, Fang Qingyuan withdrew his hand and muttered to himself, "It’s actually the Earth Tier Lower Grade *Green Water Listening Tide Moonlight Scripture*. This is the legacy left by a Beast Taming Sect senior from one thousand seven hundred years ago. She spent her entire life in the North Sea and was the master of a branch sect. Before she passed away, this senior chose to summarize her life’s cultivation insights and dedicate them to the sect. Now, I am fortunate enough to see it."

’Though this Cultivation Technique is good, it isn’t suitable for me. For one, my Water Spirit Root aptitude is rather poor and I haven’t improved it yet. For another, the *Green Water Listening Tide Moonlight Scripture* is better suited for female cultivators, so I don’t meet the criteria.’

’Perhaps this Cultivation Technique is more suitable for Jiang Kui; she also has a Water Spirit Root. However, Jiang Kui comes from a prominent family in the great sect of Qi Yun, so her own legacy is likely not inferior. I’ll mention it to her when I get back. If she’s interested, she can come here herself.’

Putting this stele aside, Fang Qingyuan walked over to another one nearby, silently reached out, and placed his hand on it.

The next moment, the information recorded on the stele appeared in Fang Qingyuan’s mind: *True Treatise on Myriad-Soul Beast Taming*.

This True Treatise, while called a Cultivation Technique, was actually more like a comprehensive encyclopedia. The Beast Taming Sect’s Main Mountain would revise it and release a new version every ten years, making it one of the sect’s signature works. It contained information on over ten thousand kinds of Spirit Beasts. Just by glancing at the table of contents, Fang Qingyuan felt as though his mind was about to be stuffed full.

The information within the True Treatise was vast and profound. For Cultivators dedicated to the path of beast taming and who followed the "Ten Thousand Beasts" school, it was considered an essential scripture—one that must be read, learned, and mastered.

Fang Qingyuan had heard that within the Beast Taming Sect’s Main Mountain, there was such a school that followed the path of the Ten Thousand Beasts Legion. It was often a case of one person forming an army, raising thousands upon thousands of War Beasts. When fighting other sects, a single person could take on their entire sect alone.

Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect who belonged to the Ten Thousand Beasts school controlled the War Beasts under their command through special methods. These War Beasts were often raised freely and only summoned during wartime. Especially when, under the command of a Beast Taming Sect disciple, the various Spirit Beasts coordinated with each other, deployed the Five Elements Array, covered land, sea, and air, and fought without fear of death—any sect facing this would have to yield.

However, as good as this school was, it also had several fatal flaws. First, the disciples commanding these Spirit Beasts often had insufficient cultivation levels, making them easy targets for assassination. Second, although the number of Spirit Beasts was enormous, they posed no real threat to truly high-level Cultivators.

What this Ten Thousand Beasts school was truly meant to deal with were the vast numbers of Qi Cultivation Disciples and the core fighting force of the Foundation Establishment Stage within an enemy sect. On battlefields with higher-level combatants, the Ten Thousand Beasts school couldn’t exert much influence.

’In the Cultivation Realm, all great power ultimately belongs to the individual. A single Nascent Soul Cultivator could suppress ten Golden Core Cultivators. The later the cultivation stage, the greater the disparity in power. Even if you have a torrent of ten thousand beasts, I can shatter it with a single sword strike.’

Of course, if you could actually gather over ten thousand Golden Core Spirit Beasts to form a Battle Array, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would have no choice but to flee. But ten thousand Golden Core Spirit Beasts... the very thought is impossible.

These thoughts flashed through Fang Qingyuan’s mind. He then left the stele behind and walked toward the next one. ’For now, having Jinbao as my one War Beast is enough. There’s no need to spend Spirit Stones to redeem this True Treatise.’

Fang Qingyuan examined five more steles in a row, but he still hadn’t found a Cultivation Technique that was truly suitable for him. Time flew by, and before he knew it, Fang Qingyuan had already been here for three days.

Examining each stele here was far more mentally taxing than on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion. Fang Qingyuan found that after just three steles, he had to sit and meditate to recover. He would often spend two hours examining them, only to need a full day to recover his spiritual energy.

This was one of the disadvantages of Fang Qingyuan coming here with his Late-stage Qi Cultivation. Normally, the Cultivators who could reach this place were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, so they would not face the same situation as Fang Qingyuan.

After Fang Qingyuan finished another session of meditation and recovery, he walked up to the second tallest stele in the area. With a furrowed brow, he placed his hand upon it.

A few breaths later, a smile blossomed on Fang Qingyuan’s face. This time, he had finally found the Cultivation Technique he had been hoping for.
