I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 290: Chapter 253: Illusion Mist Beast Valley

"By the way, what’s Yang Chengxu’s background?"

Pushing aside his distracting thoughts, Yu Changsheng exhaled and asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Well..." Zhang Tianwen paused to think. He then looked up at Yu Changsheng and said, "Yang Chengxu is a Direct Disciple of Mu Yongxian of the Spirit Dragon Sect. What’s more, he’s from the Direct Lineage of the Yang Family of the Martial Continent—the son of their second-in-command."

"The Yang Family of the Martial Continent?" Yu Changsheng echoed, a hint of confusion in his voice.

"That’s right," Zhang Tianwen nodded, slowly beginning his explanation.

"The Martial Continent is immense. Our Wanxiang Sect alone governs a territory of nearly ten thousand square li. Officially, the major powers on the Martial Continent are undoubtedly the Three Gates and Seven Sects. Both our Wanxiang Sect and the Spirit Dragon Sect are part of the Seven Sects."

"The Three Gates are on another level entirely. Their power and foundation are unfathomable, far beyond what the Seven Sects can compare to. But beyond them, there are also powerful families who, despite not being sects, are entrenched in their own territories. Their strength should not be underestimated either."

Zhang Tianwen paused, swallowing as he gathered his thoughts before continuing.

"The Yang Family is primarily active in the southwestern corner of the Martial Continent. While their overall strength might be slightly less than the Spirit Dragon Sect’s, the gap is by no means large. They are a behemoth in their own right."

"Besides, the Yang Family is a family, after all. They aren’t burdened by the complexities of a sect. In a direct confrontation, they would certainly make the Spirit Dragon Sect extremely wary."

"By the same token, as a family, their resources are bound to be more concentrated than a sect’s. The prodigies they cultivate are, in reality, often of a higher caliber than a sect’s. That explains why someone as young as Yang Chengxu has such a high level of Cultivation and a Beast Taming Peak of that quality."

A flicker of disdain appeared in Zhang Tianwen’s eyes as he spoke in a slow, deliberate tone.

"Otherwise, the Spirit Dragon Sect alone would find it very difficult to produce a genius like him in such a short time. After all, sects have far too much red tape.

Even for someone with talent, their pace and potential for growth would be limited. That’s one of the advantages Cultivation Families have over sects."

"I see." It all clicked for Yu Changsheng, and many things became clear to him.

"So," Zhang Tianwen thought for a moment, then clapped Yu Changsheng on the shoulder. He opened his mouth, but hesitated for a long moment before finally saying, "Just be more careful from now on. Be wary of Yang Chengxu. I’m worried he’ll resort to dirty tricks."

"Back then, I was..." Zhang Tianwen started to say, but abruptly clamped his mouth shut. An almost imperceptible shadow passed through his eyes.

Yu Changsheng nodded, a cold glint flashing through his eyes as he thought to himself, ’Is that so... Since I’ve already offended him, I’ll let it be as long as he doesn’t provoke me. But if necessary... finding an opportunity to eliminate him would be the safest course of action.’

Seeing the mood turn heavy, Li Minghan jumped in with a loud laugh. He thumped his chest and declared to Yu Changsheng with great confidence:

"What’s there to be afraid of? You still have us! Say no more, Changsheng, just remember this: at the very least, I, the Young Tower Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower, am on your side."

"Besides, you have the Wanxiang Sect and your master backing you up. For the time being, even if he holds a grudge, he won’t dare to make a rash move."

Yu Changsheng turned to look at Li Minghan. Seeing his sincere expression, Yu Changsheng’s heart warmed. He nodded at Li Minghan and smiled. "Alright. I’ll remember that."

After spending the last few days with him, Yu Changsheng had come to see that Li Minghan was truly a friend worth making.

"Alright, alright, let’s drop it." Zhang Tianwen waved his hand, changing the subject.

"Changsheng, since you’re awake, there’s something else I need to tell you."

"The competition between our sects is over, but there’s another confrontation coming up."

Seeing the confused look on Yu Changsheng’s face, Zhang Tianwen paused before explaining.

"It’s basically a trial in a Secret Realm, and the benefits for us are enormous. True, our Wanxiang Sect won this competition, while the Spirit Dragon Sect suffered a total defeat and lost all face."

"But in dealings between sects, you can’t embarrass the other side too much. So, it was a last-minute decision, made partly to save the Spirit Dragon Sect some face. Our Wanxiang Sect’s Illusion Mist Beast Valley will be opened in one week."

"The top ten contestants from the recent competition will be allowed to enter, which means disciples from the Spirit Dragon Sect will be included."

"The Illusion Mist Beast Valley?" Yu Changsheng asked in surprise, waiting for Zhang Tianwen to elaborate.

"Mhm," Zhang Tianwen nodded, his eyebrows rising with a hint of pride. "Our Wanxiang Sect’s Beast Taming Peak was once the number one Beast Taming Holy Land on the Martial Continent. Naturally, it has its own unique features."

"This Illusion Mist Beast Valley is known as the number one, one-of-a-kind Beast Taming Secret Realm on the Martial Continent. For a Beast Master, it’s an absolutely unparalleled Grotto Heaven Blessed Land. It’s something the other Beast Taming Sects can only dream of, forever out of their reach. Even the Spirit Dragon Sect has been coveting it with immense envy for a very long time."

"The Illusion Mist Beast Valley opens once every hundred years. However, to accommodate the Spirit Dragon Sect, it’s being opened early this time. We just happened to be here at the right time for it."

"Oh, a Secret Realm for Beast Masters," Yu Changsheng said, a wave of understanding washing over him. He mused internally, ’That makes sense. Neither sect wants relations to become too hostile. I suppose this is a gesture of goodwill.’

"That’s exactly right. You still have some time. Changsheng, you should use this week to increase your strength as much as possible. The stronger you are when you enter the Secret Realm, the greater your potential rewards and the fewer the risks."

Zhang Tianwen’s eyes flickered as he fell into thought, then he continued.

"Also, Qing Zhu Master from the Purple Rainbow Sect is here because of the Illusion Mist Beast Valley as well. He came specifically to secure a spot for his disciple, Meng Qi’an, to go inside for training. He made a special visit, and the Vice Sect Leader agreed."
