Celestial Beast Taming

The first item was a Source Material Celestial Shuttle, and the second item was an Energy Transmission Platform.

The third item was a pitch-black object called a Longevity Pill.

Zhong Yi already had a Source Material Celestial Shuttle, so he knew its effects clearly.

Without a Source Material Celestial Shuttle, it was impossible to log into the Virtual Source Network.

The Virtual Source Network was essentially a platform that allowed creatures from all worlds to interact with each other.

And the Virtual Source Network was much more than just a simple communication platform.

The Energy Transmission Platform was the second item in the Divine Origin Store that could be purchased with Divine Origin Value. After completing a transaction on the Virtual Source Network,

if both parties had an Energy Transmission Platform, they could use it to teleport items.

The Energy Transmission Platform could freely teleport non-living matter, but if one wanted to transport living beings, it could only transport those below the Third Level.

A Third Level life form was equivalent to a Fantasy Tier creature.

In other words, only creatures below the Mythical Tier could be teleported using the Energy Transmission Platform.

After completing a single teleportation, the Energy Transmission Platform would shatter and could no longer be used.

Each Energy Transmission Platform was priced at five Divine Origin Value points in the Divine Origin Mall.

When both parties used Energy Transmission Platforms for a trade, in addition to the restriction on the level of the living being being traded,

they also each had to pay an additional five Divine Origin Value points as a transaction fee during the teleportation.

Zhong Yi clicked his tongue in amazement. ’Such a fee is anything but low.’

Before one could enter the Third Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm and fight without restriction, Divine Origin Value was a rare commodity.

After all, when exploring a normal Secret Realm, one had to reach one hundred percent Secret Realm Exploration Level just to obtain a single point of Divine Origin Value.

In the First Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, everyone only had two Divine Origin Value points upon entry.

Even though Zhong Yi had explored one hundred percent of the First Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, his total Divine Origin Value was only 43 points.

It was true that when Zhong Yi went to the Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, the opponents participating there had more than just two points of Divine Origin Value.

But the higher the level of the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, the greater the risks involved.

Even someone like Zhong Yi could be treated as prey.

With the Divine Origin Value Zhong Yi currently possessed, it would be difficult to trade for any precious materials or Guardian Beasts on the Virtual Source Network.

Therefore, Zhong Yi had no use for the Energy Transmission Platform in the short term.

The third item in the Divine Origin Store that could be freely purchased with Divine Origin Value was something called a Longevity Pill, priced at ten Divine Origin Value points.

According to the description, it was an Elixir Pill refined from the secretions of a Longevity Rat and some supplementary materials.

It had the effect of increasing any creature’s lifespan by ten natural months.

After being used, this Longevity Pill had no side effects on any creature and could be used without limit.

It was a divine medicine for extending the lives of creatures whose lifespans were nearing their end.

This subconsciously made Zhong Yi think of his own Guardian Beast, the Longevity Empress Bee.

The effects of the Longevity Pill and the Insect Honey produced by the offspring of the Longevity Empress Bee were so similar.

’If I really compare them, the Longevity Pill can only increase a creature’s lifespan by ten months.’

’But the Insect Honey brewed by the offspring of my Longevity Empress Bee is even more effective than the Longevity Pill sold in the Divine Origin Store.’

This made Zhong Yi instantly spot a brand-new business opportunity!

’Creatures from any world will face the predicament of their lifespan running out.’

’For these creatures whose lives are about to end, extending their lifespan is the ultimate goal.’

’Since the Longevity Insect Honey’s effect on increasing lifespan is better than the Longevity Pill’s, if I sell Longevity Insect Honey for ten Divine Origin Value points, people will definitely buy it.’

’Trading a few portions of Longevity Insect Honey at a time, with both sides wasting five Divine Origin Value points each on an Energy Transmission Platform, really isn’t worth it.’

’But if dozens of portions of Longevity Insect Honey are traded at once, then the cost of the Energy Transmission Platform becomes negligible.’

’When I think about how the Longevity Pill is made from the secretions of a Longevity Rat, if the description didn’t mention that several other materials were added...’

’...looking at its appearance, I would’ve thought this Longevity Pill was just like Drunken Dragon Jade—excreted directly by a Longevity Rat.’

Zhong Yi felt that the Divine Origin Store shouldn’t be limited to just these three items for exchange with Divine Origin Value.

The divine-sounding notification just now had said that he had unlocked the One-Star Divine Origin Store.

’Perhaps when I obtain more Divine Origin Value, I might unlock a Two-Stars or even a Three-Stars Divine Origin Store.’

’At that time, it’s highly likely that there will be even more items in the Divine Origin Store that can be purchased with Divine Origin Value.’

The Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm also had a day and night cycle.

As Zhong Yi stored the Godslaying Blade in his Soul Base, finished investigating the Divine Origin Store, and stepped through the Secret Realm Entrance,

it was dusk, and the setting sun cast a deep glow.

Zhong Yi used his 43 Divine Origin Value points to purchase two Source Material Celestial Shuttles from the Divine Origin Store, preparing to give them to Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling respectively.

Zhong Yi greatly approved of Shen Xuan’s and Zhong Ling’s potential. Even though Zhong Ling was not a Celestial Destiny Seeker and her Lifebound Guardian Beast did not possess Rule Authority,

with the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly she contracted through her Beastmaster Talent, the Talent Mother Cocoon Room, once her strength rose to the Fantasy Tier, she would be able to truly control a three-digit number of Butterfly Guardian Beasts.

Even without mastering Rule Authority, Zhong Ling would still have what it takes to enter the Third Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm and battle against the prodigies from every corner of the world.

’It’s not like there aren’t any Defense Element Butterfly Guardian Beasts.’

’Right now, aside from the Wind Flash Butterfly she contracted, Zhong Ling has only contracted Blade Butterflies and Blade Princess Butterflies in pursuit of offensive power.’

’But when Zhong Ling can control a three-digit number of Butterfly Guardian Beasts thanks to her Soul Vein Mother Butterfly, she can equip her butterfly army with various types of them.’

’Defense Type, Support Type, Control Type, physical attack type, ranged Elemental Type—by combining multiple functional Butterfly Guardian Beasts to work in concert, Zhong Ling could truly become a one-woman army.’

Zhong Yi had already participated in one Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm and had gained a precise understanding of his opponents’ strength.

’To be fair, even if Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan were to enter a Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm right now to compete with the prodigies from other worlds...’

’...it’s not a given that they would come back empty-handed!’

After leaving the Secret Realm, Zhong Yi appeared directly inside the Beastmaster Association.

Sun Yushi was standing at the entrance of this Newbie Secret Realm, waiting for him.

Seeing Zhong Yi, Sun Yushi hurriedly came forward and called out softly.

"Young Master, you’re finally out. A lot of major things have happened in the few days you were exploring the Secret Realm."

Zhong Yi had been in contact with Sun Yushi for some time and knew that he had an extremely steady personality.

For Sun Yushi to immediately tell him that something major had happened the moment he saw him,

the matter was bound to be extremely serious!

Zhong Yi had been inside the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm for nearly a full week.

Sun Yushi had no idea when he would come out.

Being able to see Sun Yushi the moment he came out of the Secret Realm meant that Sun Yushi had likely been waiting here for him all these days.

"Brother Sun, what happened?"

"Is it related to Starlight City?"

Sun Yushi shook his head, his tone extremely grave as he spoke.

"Young Master, Dragon’s Roost Continent has fallen into chaos. A state of war has begun between the Shuojin Federation and the Mirage Sea Federation."

"It’s highly probable that the Xin Xia Alliance’s old rival, the Blazing Kite Federation, is secretly involved."

"Fengjiang City, located on the border, has been affected by the flames of war. Our Starlight City has already sent two entire legions of the Starlight Army as support."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yi’s brow furrowed sharply.

’The Xin Xia Federation’s two neighbors have actually started fighting!’

’War between federations is no small matter.’

’There has always been conflict between the Mirage Sea Federation and the Shuojin Federation, but for a war to suddenly break out, there must be some unknown reason.’

’The Purifying Moon Sect’s area of activity is right between the Xin Xia Federation, the Shuojin Federation, and the Mirage Sea Federation.’

’The sudden outbreak of war is bound to have a huge impact on the Purifying Moon Sect.’

’As a Judge of the Purifying Moon Sect, Qin Ruyue will most likely need to return to the sect’s headquarters immediately.’

’The Crying Moon Goddess’s time is almost up, and I’m about to have Longevity Insect Honey in my possession.’

’My only channel of communication with the Crying Moon Goddess is Qin Ruyue.’

Zhong Yi finally felt that he might be able to use Qin Ruyue as a go-between to try and make contact with the Crying Moon Goddess, a veteran powerhouse of the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations.
