Chapter 63 A Beast Taming Prodigy, One in a Million?
Chen Ye did not press the matter further. As a family that tames beasts, the Bai family must have some knowledge of rumors about demonic beasts; otherwise, they would not have been able to recognize the origin of this demonic beast egg.
He withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and placed his palm on the monster egg covered with strange patterns.
As Chen Ye probed into the egg with his divine sense, he immediately sensed the life force gestating within it. At the same time, a sound like the roar of a giant whale rang out in Chen Ye's ears without warning.
"Ugh~~"
The voice was deep and melodious, as if it came from the distant wilderness, faintly carrying a subtle sense of power.
"The true demon bloodline inside this monster egg is probably even stronger than I imagined."
Chen Ye sighed inwardly, but the life force emanating from it was indeed as weak as Bai Changnian had said, indicating a congenital deficiency.
If this monster egg hadn't been located in a place where underground spiritual veins converged, nourished by spiritual energy year-round, it probably wouldn't have survived until now and would have become a "dead egg".
"It seems that the only way to form a contract with this nine-tailed jade Kun beast is on this island."
Chen Ye thought to himself, but he didn't need to spend several years cultivating the Bai family's beast-taming secret technique.
With a thought, Chen Ye looked at the attribute panel in his sea of consciousness.
[Remaining life span: 524]
[Spell: Demon-Suppressing Technique - Beginner (1/300)]
The Demon-Suppressing Technique was a secret beast-taming technique that Chen Ye obtained from Bai Changnian. It recorded two ways to contract demon beasts: blood contract and soul contract.
Blood contracts are mainly used to form contracts with miscellaneous items and demonic beasts with mortal demonic bloodlines. However, once a demonic beast's bloodline reaches the level of a spirit demon or higher, then a soul contract must be used.
After all, the higher the bloodline level, the higher the intelligence of the demon beast, some even comparable to human cultivators. If a bond cannot be formed in the soul, there is no way to control it.
To perform the Soul Contract, one must at least cultivate the Demon-Suppressing Technique to the minor completion level!
"Fortunately, I've killed quite a few monsters on the island these past few days, so my lifespan of over five hundred years is more than enough."
Chen Ye glanced at his remaining lifespan and immediately began to deduce the future.
[You have begun to comprehend the "Demon-Suppressing Technique" by expending your lifespan. Because you have previously slain a large number of demonic beasts and refined their spiritual essence, you possess exceptional talent for this beast-taming technique. By expending twenty years of your lifespan, you have easily proficiently mastered the Demon-Suppressing Technique!]
"this……"
Looking at the information on the panel, Chen Ye's expression turned strange.
I never expected that refining the spiritual essence of demonic beasts could increase my beast-taming talent... Well, it's like turning the original soup into the original food.
However, saving some lifespan is a good thing, let's continue!
[You have consumed a total of 170 years of your lifespan, and have finally pushed the Demon-Suppressing Technique to the minor completion stage... Demon-Suppressing Technique Minor Completion (1/1800)]
[Remaining life span: 354]
That's it!
Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the lifespan consumed by deduce this spirit-level beast-taming secret technique was much less than he had expected.
I thought it would take at least three hundred years, but it only took a little over half that time.
"Young friend Luo, can you verify what I said? This demon egg is inherently flawed and cannot be easily moved before it hatches."
Seeing Chen Ye's gloomy and uncertain expression, Bai Changnian assumed that Chen Ye was still determined to take the monster egg.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Ye only glanced at him before raising his palm again and placing it on the patterned eggshell. Then, he began to circulate the Soul Contract Technique recorded in the Demon-Suppressing Manual!
Chen Ye first used his divine soul power to condense a strange symbol in the void, and then, under the control of his will, slowly melted it into the monster egg.
This method of soul contract is somewhat similar to the refining of magical artifacts, but it is much more complicated and difficult. After all, magical artifacts are just inanimate objects, while life has already been conceived inside the monster egg.
"This... how could you have mastered the beast-taming technique passed down in my Bai family so quickly?"
Bai Changnian's old face was full of disbelief. Although he was not yet able to probe with his divine sense, he could still detect the soul fluctuations emanating from Chen Ye.
Moreover, Bai Changnian himself had also practiced the Demon-Suppressing Technique, but due to his lack of talent, he had only been able to use it proficiently after decades of practice.
The aura generated by Chen Ye activating the Demon-Suppressing Technique was more than ten times stronger than his!
"Grandpa, didn't you just teach Brother Luo the Demon-Suppressing Technique?"
Beside her, Bai Miaozhu also sensed the fluctuations in Chen Ye's soul contract aura and asked Bai Changnian in confusion.
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb your Brother Luo..."
Bai Changnian looked at Chen Ye in confusion. Could it be that he, like Miao Zhu, also possessed some kind of spirit-controlling physique? But even so, his cultivation speed was too fast!
However, after a moment, Chen Ye frowned and stopped the contract.
It didn't work? No! It's because Chen Ye simply couldn't find the soul of this nine-tailed jade Kun beast!
Or is it that the demon beast inside the egg is too weak and has not developed a complete demon soul?
"May I ask, young friend Luo, have you ever heard of the Four Symbols Sect?" At this moment, Bai Changnian suddenly stepped forward with a solemn expression and asked Chen Ye seriously.
"The Four Symbols Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye shook his head. It sounded like a sect that controlled beasts, referring to the Four Symbols: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. However, he had never heard of such a sect before.
"Hiss... That's strange!"
Bai Changnian was very puzzled. If he hadn't mastered the secret beast-taming techniques passed down from the upper sect beforehand, then there was only one explanation.
The young cultivator before me is a beast-taming prodigy, one in a million. It's a pity that his sect was wiped out a thousand years ago due to an incident. Otherwise, he could have easily become a Holy Son!
"Young friend Luo, did you fail to find the soul of this demon beast just now?" Bai Changnian then inquired.
"Not bad," Chen Ye said. Although he had quickly mastered the Demon-Suppressing Technique by consuming his lifespan, when it came to understanding demonic beasts, the Bai family, a beast-taming family with a tradition, was still more comprehensive.
But then Bai Changnian pointed at the monster egg and said...
"Most demonic beasts are born with spirituality, and the intelligence of demonic beasts with true demon blood is no less than that of human cultivators. Even those that have not yet hatched have a certain degree of divine consciousness. So it's not that you haven't found the demonic soul, but that it is intentionally hiding from you and does not want to be controlled by humans."
"Then how should we solve this?" Chen Ye asked, frowning.
Bai Changnian smiled and stroked his beard as he spoke.
"My Bai family has been taming beasts for hundreds of years, so we naturally have ways to deal with such early-awakened demons. Miaozhu, bring out our family's supreme... cough cough, ancestral Ten Thousand Spirits Demon-Suppressing Disc."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Bai Miaozhu nodded, then took out a white jade plate, about the size of a washbasin, from her storage bag.
This jade plate is engraved with twelve array patterns in the twelve earthly branches. Each array pattern is densely covered with intricate and complex symbols, which look like the phantoms of demonic beasts, lifelike and extraordinary.
