Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 595 - 387: Xiaobai’s Third Evolution

The Great Elder’s concerns are not unfounded. Heavenly tribulations are rare, but once they occur, they are bound to be a destructive disaster.

If the Spirit Beasts in the Spirit Academy are affected, it will inevitably lead to severe consequences, as history has seen cases where Spirit Beasts undergoing tribulation have implicated innocents.

At this moment, Xiaobai was already immersed in the medicinal bath, and as the medicinal properties dissipated, Xiaobai gradually felt its eyes becoming drowsy.

Xiaobai initially thought this time would be like the previous ones, but unexpectedly, it saw a massive black Demon Bull appear.

Xiaobai’s body shook, wanting to open its eyes wide, but it couldn’t open them at all.

This sensation was like "sleep paralysis," where the consciousness is awake, yet it cannot awaken from it.

Xiaobai became extremely agitated, feeling a rage burning within it, and its pupils instantly turned crimson.

....

This scene, in Lin Chen’s view, appeared as the medicinal water in the cauldron rapidly evaporating. Liu Gu, however, knew that Xiaobai had encountered difficulties.

However, even though it faced difficulties, Liu Gu and the others couldn’t assist it at all, so Liu Gu didn’t tell Lin Chen about it because knowing about it would only cause Lin Chen to worry for the coming days.

But the consequences of this situation soon manifested. Ten days had passed, and Xiaobai had not formed a cocoon, a stark contrast to the speed of the Blue Fish.

Lin Chen also began to show signs of worry because, according to the Beast Taming Treasure Manual, if a Spirit Beast cannot cocoon, it is a sign of failure.

"Did Xiaobai encounter a problem?" Lin Chen asked.

"Divine Beasts and Sacred Beasts are different. At this stage, they begin to sense the heavens and the earth, which is why only Divine Beasts face the heavenly tribulation when evolving," Liu Gu said:

"Every Spirit Beast stepping into the Divine Beast realm must overcome its inner demons."

"Let’s wait a bit more."

Lin Chen nodded.

Another three days passed, and Xiaobai still had not formed a cocoon, and even Liu Gu couldn’t sit still this time.

Could it be that Xiaobai was going to fail? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

If Xiaobai were to stop at the Sacred Beast realm, the potential difference in the future would be tremendous.

Though Xiaobai would still be outstanding, at a higher level, the Divine and Demonic Power of the Sacred Beast realm cannot compare to the power exhibited by a Divine Beast.

Although Lin Chen was also anxious, his mentality remained calm.

When Xiaobai first followed him, it was merely an ordinary ox, albeit with a bit of a cleanliness obsession.

Even though Lin Chen hoped Xiaobai could go further in the future, since the Bai Ling incident, Lin Chen has taken many things lightly.

At that moment, suddenly, the Big White Bear nudged Lin Chen and growled. Lin Chen looked over and was surprised to see Xiaobai actually starting to form a cocoon.

Ecstatic, Lin Chen realized that forming a cocoon meant the most difficult hurdle had been passed.

Next would be the evolution of the body, and if successful, Xiaobai would appear before Lin Chen in the form of a Divine Beast.

...

Celestial Capital

Gu Qing left the National Master’s Institute and returned to Dubhe Pavilion, preparing for their tavern. Sitting at the table, Gu Xue said, "This Human Race land is truly poor."

Gu Qing said, "Of course, the land of the Human Race cannot compare to our Divine Race."

"So why should we show them any good faces?" Gu Xue said, "Just let Dubhe Pavilion or the National Master’s Institute capture that Lin Chen and hand him over to us."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing said, "Things are not as simple as you think."

Gu Xue immediately laughed, "Could they defy orders?"

"Indeed, the National Master’s Institute and Dubhe Pavilion fear our Divine Race," Gu Qing said. "Yet there’s no need for us to turn against them. Did you know that our Divine Race fought against the Human Race in the past?"

"Is that so?" Gu Xue asked curiously.

"Back then, our Divine Race was overwhelmingly powerful, thinking of enslaving the entire Human Race to supply resources and services for us," Gu Qing said with a smile. "The Human Race was initially very frightened, but Gu Wei at that time resisted, leading the army to battle us repeatedly."

"In the end, guess what happened?"

"Could they actually win against us?"

"Of course, they couldn’t defeat us. They lost batch after batch of people, and Gu Wei, who could have lived much longer, was injured in that battle and couldn’t live a second life," Gu Qing said. "The Human Race, though weak, has a very strong, lowly pride."

"So later, we signed a century-long treaty, where the two races wouldn’t interfere with each other, including wars, management, and so forth."

Gu Xue now laughed and said, "The Human Race is truly hypocritical. When they win against the Demon Race, they record it enthusiastically in the annals, but there’s not a mention of losing to our Divine Race."

Gu Qing acknowledged this only partially. At the time of signing the century-long treaty between the two races, there were concerns that war and the treaty would deepen the hatred between the races, resulting in a mutual agreement in the treaty for all wars to remain confidential.

"Do you really think we’re here to investigate the rebellious Phoenix?" Gu Qing suddenly asked.

"Aren’t we?"

"Silly girl, if it was merely to investigate a Phoenix’s life and death, there wouldn’t be a need to mobilize our Ancient Assembly." Gu Qing holds a high position within the Ancient Race, being a member of the Ancient Assembly.

The Ancient Assembly’s role within the Ancient Race is to expel tribal membership, wielding significant power.

"Are there other reasons?"

"Of course," Gu Qing said. "The Divine Race is very dissatisfied with Zhong Nan’s Plan of Nine Cities because they feel this force already threatens the Divine Race."

"This time, part of coming forth is to pressure them to abolish this plan, but more so to thoroughly investigate the truth of this matter."

"Do we still take action against Lin Chen?"

"Of course," Gu Qing said. "We can use this pretext to obtain information on Bai Ling, who has already achieved immortality. The Divine Race’s high-level intention is... ultimately to kill her, to eliminate future threats."

Gu Xue, hearing this, was indifferent.

It’s merely the life or death of a Human Race member. If killed, so be it.

"But this Lin Chen is not simple either. Rumor has it his First Spirit Beast is a bull possessing Divine and Demonic Power."

"Divine... Divine and Demonic Power?" Gu Xue was surprised.

Even within the Divine Race, such talent is extremely rare.

"His second Spirit Beast is a Divine Fox that has awakened Phoenix Karmic Fire after fusing with the essence of Phoenix Essence Blood."

"What?!"

Gu Xue found it hard to believe.

Awakening Phoenix Karmic Fire through Phoenix Essence Blood? What a joke.

Her beast once endured the baptism of karmic fire in the Spirit Spring of the Ancient Race for a full 49 days before finally awakening Phoenix Karmic Fire.

"Not only that, but his Divine Fox also seems to possess an ancient Immortal Technique, Heart-Burning Fire Control."

"What!!!"

This time, Gu Xue jumped as if struck by lightning.

To her, Phoenix Karmic Fire was already incredibly shocking, and Heart-Burning Fire Control was impossible to overlook.
