Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1083 - 449: Twelve Zodiac Beasts: Chenlong! (Part 2)

Apart from the most mysterious and rare dragon unknown to humans, each Year Beast holds the potential of an Emperor Level Peak.

It may seem ordinary at first glance.

Emperor Level Peak might seem quite impressive in the eyes of many ordinary Beastmasters, but for many high-level Beastmasters, it doesn’t amount to much.

However, the evolution of Year Beasts was lost many years ago.

Year Beasts have not been born for a long time.

Year Beasts are unique Pet Beasts to Dragon Country Jiuzhou; elsewhere on Blue Star, they are virtually non-existent.

Countless Beastmasters dream of obtaining a Year Beast as a pet.

In the eyes of many, this special Pet Beast, the Year Beast, is even more valuable than any Spirit Saint Level Pet Beast or Legendary Resources.

Because, regardless of the Year Beast’s combat ability, which is subjective,

this Year Beast possesses a unique ability that other Pet Beasts cannot compare to.

The humans who establish a Soul Contract with it will see a great increase in their longevity!

Indeed!

Longevity!

In this world, everyone fears death!

Yet, even those invincible on this Blue Star, who can freely venture into the stars and cross galaxies, have a lifespan that is just ordinary.

This seems to be the greatest limitation to human Beastmasters’ powerful abilities.

No matter how extraordinary you are, under the erosion of time, you cannot escape eventually turning to dust and soil.

This is the power of time!

Among Time-Series Pet Beasts, only the exceedingly rare Year Beast can help Beastmasters resist such erosion of the ages.

Although, this extended lifespan fluctuates based on the strength and realm of both parties.

However, even when people are at their last, the prospect of living just one or two more days is the greatest hope for many.

A Beastmaster’s contract position is highly precious, but if investing in longevity is beneficial, undoubtedly, many people in this world would be willing to make this deal.

Realizing this, Su Ping understood why Ye Zhou suddenly became so emotionally excited.

Throughout history, countless people have sought Year Beasts, but the Time-Series itself is rare, and meeting these conditions is even rarer.

How precious are Year Beasts?

With this in mind, Su Ping gazed at the peculiar black-and-white dragon before him.

"Human, this mark of yours..."

Su Ping smiled and nodded:

"Senior, the later generations of humans established the nation as Dragon Nation with Dragon Gate, with Dragon City as the core, filled with Dragon Clan Pet Beasts. Dragons have become a symbol of our nation’s pets! Senior, are you Chenlong?"

The most mysterious dragon among the Twelve Zodiac Beasts.

Meeting Su Ping’s gaze, the Old Dragon indeed nodded.

"Yes, young one, since that’s the case, have you entered the core of the later dynasty? Have you entered Dragon City?"

The Old Dragon looked expectantly at Su Ping.

As the Spirit of the secret realm left behind, fulfilling the master’s inheritance instruction first, it also possesses self-awareness.

Su Ping nodded:

"Indeed, I have entered, and I’m quite familiar with Dragon City!"

The Old Dragon looked expectantly at Su Ping:

"Young one from the future, does the Dragon City you speak of have other time-series kin?"

On its ethereal body, within its black-and-white eyes, the Old Dragon’s gaze held an indescribable anticipation and hope.

Time-series kin?

This Old Dragon held its race in high regard indeed.

Su Ping nodded, glancing at the Qintian Monitor members behind him; the Old Dragon realized and enveloped Su Ping within a barrier, allowing Su Ping to speak:

"Indeed, there are two predecessors’ kin in Dragon City, one of whom is among the oldest beings there, now reached the Legendary Ninth Rank, Lord Zhulong!"

"Legendary Ninth Rank?!"

Even as just a Spirit of the secret realm, the Old Dragon involuntarily breathed sharply:

"The later Jiuzhou Dynasty has such a being? Truly unfathomable! The Candle Dragon..."

After a while, the Old Dragon came to its senses and looked at Su Ping:

"What about the other?"

Su Ping scratched his head and extended his hand, revealing a light:

"The other is in my hand, as my reserve Pet Beast, but whether this little one counts as a True Dragon, I’m not sure."

Chenlong looked at the open Book of Time before him and the words on its yellowing pages:

"Another Dragon of Time? Too bad, just a remnant soul merged with the secret realm, truly a pity. If you still existed, perhaps in some years, the day of greatness with my king and master could be witnessed!"

Chenlong’s human-like old face looked peculiarly at this thing.

After a while, he nodded:

"Truly mysterious! Why would an instrument type Pet Beast possess a Dragon Soul?"

Even just as a remnant soul, evidently, Chenlong was extraordinary, seeing through Xiaoshi’s essence at a glance.

Su Ping shrugged; he genuinely didn’t know about such matters.

However, clearly, if Chenlong were vibrant, he might have been a helpful assistant in researching Xiaoshi.

After all, the latter just exists as a Remnant Spirit within this secret realm.

Chenlong sighed:

"Truly interesting! In these years, has humanity’s dynasty produced many interesting Pet Beasts, interesting Beastmasters? Unfortunately, I won’t see them again. Time is truly the most ruthless thing in this world!"

Su Ping looked at Chenlong:

"Senior, who is the master of this secret realm, this renowned ancestor in history?"

Given Chenlong’s presence, it surely wasn’t some nameless small secret realm remnant as Su Ping initially thought.

Chenlong sighed:

"Wu Dynasty’s Immortal Saint Gu Sansi is my master’s name."

With this name, even Su Ping squinted, not particularly proficient in history, but he’d heard of this name.

Legend has it that this figure lived through half of the Wu Dynasty, a long-lived Spirit Saint Level existence over four hundred years!

No wonder...

Su Ping nodded, realizing why this figure held the unique Year Beast Breeding Method.

Claimed to be the longest-lived Spirit Saint Level, mastering Year Beast’s Breeding Method, it’s reasonable indeed.

"So it’s the Immortal Saint; to witness Senior Gu’s heritage secret realm in my era is my fortune!"

Chenlong looked regretfully at Su Ping:

"You little one from the future, you quite suit my liking, but alas, the secret realm’s Time Wheel mystery wasn’t discovered by you. Otherwise, there would be no reason my master’s inheritance wouldn’t be given to you."

Su Ping shook his head:

"I count myself lucky; it’s destiny if lost."

In fact, in today’s Dragon Nation, such precious ancient dynasty exclusivity has long vanished, and Su Ping believes that if Ye Zhou receives the inheritance, he won’t be stingy when needed.

Of course, he doesn’t mind.

Because of this, Chenlong viewed Su Ping even more favorably.

Thus, this most special Chenlong among the Twelve Year Beasts thought for a moment and then spoke again to Su Ping:

"Once the master’s inheritance is taken, the secret realm collapses, my last lingering consciousness will also perish with it. Since that’s the case, some things shouldn’t be buried with me in the fragmentary space currents.

Consider it a remembrance for me and my master left in this world!"

Saying this, Chenlong extended his hand to Su Ping with an item.

It was a pearl.

"This is..."

"This is my Dragon Ball! It is a condensed essence of a portion of dragons but compared to other dragon clans’ power sources as high-level treasures, my Dragon Ball, being part of the Time-Series presence, retains some residual memories and special effects. I’ll give it to you! You’ll understand it yourself later."

Having received this smooth pearl, Su Ping didn’t expect such an outcome.

Still more surprising was the reappearance in his mind of the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas’s Divine Dragon Clan Catalog:
