Celestial Beast Taming

This effectively made the sub-bees bred by the Rejection Crystal Bee into ammunition, consumed whenever it used its defensive abilities.

Not only did its Exclusive Trait, Absolute Exclusion, consume sub-bees, but its other Exclusive Trait, Energy Shield Reversal, could only be activated by sacrificing them.

By sacrificing a sub-bee, the Magnetic Force within its body would form a Magnetic Shield around Zhong Yi.

The Magnetic Shield itself possessed an extremely potent Defense Ability.

When attacked, if the Magnetic Shield was shattered by a force exceeding its limit, its rebound effect would reflect half of the damage back at the attacker.

It could defend and counterattack at the same time!

Such a counterattack could effectively disrupt an opponent’s rhythm, catching them off guard.

If an opponent targeted Zhong Yi, the moment they were hit by the Rejection Crystal Bee’s Energy Shield Reversal, it would create the perfect opportunity for his other Guardian Beasts to strike.

Besides, as long as the Rejection Crystal Bee had enough sub-bees, it could create numerous Magnetic Shields in rapid succession by sacrificing them.

Even if the first Magnetic Shield was destroyed, the subsequent ones could still absorb damage for Zhong Yi.

When it came to raising the Rejection Crystal Bee, the most crucial task was helping it breed as many sub-bees as possible.

The Rejection Crystal Bee currently resting on Zhong Yi’s palm had already begun to secrete large amounts of Queen Bee Magnetic Paste from its abdomen.

The Rejection Crystal Bee would lay its Insect Eggs in the Queen Bee Magnetic Paste, using the paste to help them hatch.

The offspring produced by the Rejection Crystal Bee couldn’t reproduce and had no growth phase. The Energy they contained was identical to that of the mother bee.

Rather than producing true offspring, it was more accurate to say the Rejection Crystal Bee was using reproduction to create expendable copies of itself.

Zhong Yi took out the Energy Cores he had obtained from killing elite units in the Secret Realm. He used them to raise the Rejection Crystal Bee from Mortal Beast Tier One, Silver Quality, to Mortal Beast Tier Tenth Level, Silver Quality.

For the next few days, Zhong Yi didn’t go out.

He used the Flowing Soul Soil he had stockpiled and the four remaining Fairy Flashing Phosphorus Flood Dragon Crystals to raise four more Dragon-Brewed Immortal Minks.

Besides raising these four Dragon-Brewed Immortal Minks, Zhong Yi also set about increasing the Tiers of his Soul-Catching Gu Mother and Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon.

The promotions in Tier and Quality for both the Soul-Catching Gu Mother and the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon brought Zhong Yi some incredible surprises.

To raise the Soul-Catching Gu Mother, Zhong Yi had collected a full liter of Brain Marrow Essence refined from the brains of Wisdom Soul Bai Bei.

Brain Marrow Essence from a Wisdom Soul Bai Bei was an extremely high-grade Soul Element material.

The liter of Brain Marrow Essence Zhong Yi had was extracted entirely from Extraordinary Tier Wisdom Soul Bai Bei, making it perfect for the Soul-Catching Gu Mother, which was still at the Mortal Beast Tier.

In addition to the Brain Marrow Essence, Zhong Yi also procured the carcasses of several types of parasitic Insect Guardian Beasts.

He fed these carcasses to the Soul-Catching Gu Mother, supplementing them with Flowing Soul Soil to aid absorption.

With Flowing Soul Soil acting as the perfect catalyst, the Soul-Catching Gu Mother could absorb the beneficial traits of these parasitic Insect Guardian Beasts to optimize its own genes.

When the Soul-Catching Gu Mother advanced to the Extraordinary Tier, it smoothly ascended to Gold Quality.

Because of its Soul Taming Seed Contract, the Soul-Catching Gu Mother had already made history at the Mortal Beast Tier by advancing to Silver Quality.

Then, during its advancement to the Extraordinary Tier, it shattered the records for Extraordinary Tier Guardian Beasts again, without Zhong Yi needing to provide any additional resources.

According to all records, the highest possible Quality for an Extraordinary Tier Guardian Beast was Silver.

A Guardian Beast reaching Gold Quality while still at the Extraordinary Tier was completely unheard of!

The Soul-Catching Gu Mother, originally the size of a Fire Dragon Fruit, shrank considerably after advancing to the Extraordinary Tier.

Its body color, however, became far more vibrant.

If the original, translucent Soul-Catching Gu Mother had a certain cute appeal, then after its promotion in Tier and Quality, it now looked bewitchingly beautiful and bizarre.

Under All Things Exploration, the Soul-Catching Gu Mother’s Bloodline had evolved once again.

[Guardian Beast Name]: Soul Nourishing Gu Mother

[Guardian Beast Species]: Thorn Gu Species/Mother Gu Species

[Guardian Beast Level]: Extraordinary Tier (1/10)

[Guardian Beast Type]: Soul Element

[Guardian Beast Quality]: Gold Quality

Skills:

[Soul-Stealing Soul Host]: Implants its Insect Eggs into a target’s Soul Base. The eggs rapidly connect to the Soul Base and release a special pheromone to establish control.

[Parasite Control Base]: When a Sub-Worm is parasitizing a target, it can detach a part of its body. This detached part embeds itself into the target’s genetic template. If part of the target’s soul dies, the embedded body part will cause the target’s genetic template to break down.

Exclusive Traits:

[Soul Imprisonment Breakdown]: If the pheromones released by its Insect Eggs fail to control the target’s Soul Base, or if delayed control is required, it can disintegrate itself to imprison the target’s soul.

[Insect’s Gift]: Both the Gu Mother and its Insect Eggs can secrete a special Insect Protein. This protein dissolves into a soul, nourishing it and enhancing its sensitivity.

[Insect Soul Nourishing Spirit]: Places a portion of its own Insect Soul inside a target hosting its offspring. This nourishes the target’s soul, increasing its sensitivity and their ability to control it. (This nourishment is only effective the first time for any given creature’s soul.)

It had evolved into a creature called the Soul Nourishing Gu Mother!

’When I first formed a Contract with the Soul Contracting Gu Mother that Wen Tao gave me, I just wanted a Guardian Beast that could control other Guardian Beast Masters and keep the ones under my command in line.’
