Chapter 33 Demon Suppression Beast Taming
Strictly speaking, the Beast Taming Technique has no direct connection with the Immortal Palace. This skill can be traced back to before the establishment of the Immortal Palace, even to the time when humans were still living in tribal settlements, and even before, during the era when the Demon Clan ruled the Taiji World.
Yes, in those ancient primordial times, humans might not even have descended from the trees yet. What is now known as the Three Constellations and Twelve Countries was ruled by the Ancient Demon Clan in the Taiji World.
Of course, the Demon Clan of that time was not like the current group of yellow rats that even Tie Dan could easily slaughter.
In those lands, among the mountains and seas, freely traversing and soaring high, were True Dragons, Qilin, Phoenixes, Divine Turtles, Lions, Tigers, and Leopards—such Ancient Great Demons, Divine Beasts, Giant Beasts, and Demon Beasts that reached hundreds of meters tall!
Moreover, these beings were not only top predators in nature, but they also possessed Spiritual Wisdom! Even loved by the heavens, they were taught various Cultivation Methods! They could further strengthen their already formidable bodies to become truly invincible Land Demon Gods!
There were even legends in the Demon Clan that the strongest top predators, the Demon Emperor and Demon King that ruled the earth, could go a step further! They were received by the Outer Heaven Immortals, shattering the void to go to the Outer Heaven Strange World, into the Demon God Domain of the Ancient Demon Clan, to attain Godhood!
Such a flourishing Demon Clan civilization lasted for an unknown amount of millennia, until an unknown catastrophe swept across heaven and earth. Countless Ancient Gods and Great Demons fell or vanished, leading to a complete population collapse in the Demon Clan's civilization. The survivors lost their civilization and devolved into beasts, giving humans a chance and space to gradually develop.
Later, a figure known as the Immortal Venerable emerged among mankind. It is said this person learned the Demon and Demon God's heritage from ancient relics of the Demon civilization, mimicking the cultivation of those Demon Emperors and Demon Gods, drawing on the refining of heaven and earth's energy and the essence of the sun and moon, to finally create their own path of human cultivation and body refinement. This laid the foundation, eventually leading the Human Clan to rise, wiping out the remnants of the Demon Clan, expelling them to the desolate mountains and waters beyond the Twelve Countries, and overseas Otherworlds.
This matter of the Immortal Palace's rise need not be mentioned for now. However, it is said that even in the days when the Demon Clan was in power, the Immortals from Outer Heaven had taught the rudiments of the Beast Taming Secret Method.
That roughly involves using instruments like sound waves, supplemented by rituals involving priestly feasts and the like, to achieve the control and manipulation of different realms, different species, and groups with varying spiritual wisdom. This allowed those who would naturally prey on each other and could not coexist to cooperate and build a glorified civilization together.
Thus, to this day, the Beast Taming Technique naturally fell into the hands of the Demon Clan's successors, the Immortal Palace, which monopolized it. Using this method to control the ancient demon god beasts that remained in various places, it employed them as mounts, war beasts, and beasts of burden.
