My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1082: Unifying the Beast Taming Sect

Xu Ke gripped the Beast Taming Wheel tightly in his hand, not daring to relax his spirit for a moment.

After a long while, the restless group of demonic beasts finally calmed down. It was not due to Xu Ke's efforts, but because Emperor Sanmo had appeared.

Interestingly, during the Sacred Beast Assembly at Nanming Mountain, when Emperor Sanmo was mentioned, none of these demonic beasts refrained from sneering and calling him a traitor to the demon race, declaring that every beast should be executed. But now that Emperor Sanmo had truly appeared, the demonic beasts on site were all as silent as cicadas in winter, not one daring to raise their voice.

Xu Ke raised his doubt in his heart: "Lord Black Bird, why do I feel that in these guys' eyes, Grandpa San seems even more terrifying than Emperor Yi?"

Li Fan smiled: "Emperor Yi, as the king of demonic beasts, must consider the entire demon beast race and administer rewards and punishments fairly. Under normal circumstances, as long as you do not provoke him, there is no danger. But the Emperor Sanmo before us has openly defected from the demonic beasts and sided with humans."

"A traitor to the demon race, yet not only living well, but even helping human cultivators establish the Beast Taming Sect..."

"Guess how many demonic beasts Emperor Yi has killed over these years, versus how many Emperor Sanmo has killed?"

Xu Ke immediately fell into contemplation. Then, glancing at the white-haired elder who appeared kind and benevolent, he could not help but shiver.

With Emperor Sanmo personally stepping in to suppress them, this group of demonic beasts naturally became obedient on the surface. However, Emperor Sanmo did not force them excessively, compelling all these demonic beasts to join the Beast Taming Sect and suffer enslavement by human cultivators. He merely designated a large area within the Beast Taming Sect's territory for these demonic beasts to temporarily inhabit. Though somewhat cramped, survival was not an issue.

After listening to Xu Ke recount the full sequence of events, Emperor Sanmo asked: "What was the reason you said those words to Emperor Yi?"

Xu Ke was well prepared and replied with composure: "Senior Emperor Yi said that a great calamity is approaching the Xuanhuang Realm, so he plans to shatter the realm and leave. But while he can escape, we cannot. To face the calamity, we must unite all possible allies. With the power of this demonic beast group joining us, at the very least, the Beast Taming Sect's chances of surviving the calamity will greatly increase."

Emperor Sanmo fell silent. These words did not seem like something a child could conceive. But Emperor Sanmo had lived too long to judge a person's wisdom solely by their youth.

After a moment of silence, he said indifferently: "Since this trouble was brought by you, I leave it entirely to you to handle. If any of these beasts stir up trouble or violate the sect's rules in the future, I will hold you accountable."

With that, Emperor Sanmo tossed over a disc. It was similar to the one Emperor Yi had given Xu Ke, only the demonic beast patterns carved on it were more abundant and vivid.

"This is..."

"The sect's supreme treasure, the Beast Taming Wheel?" Xu Ke quickly recognized the treasure Emperor Sanmo had handed him and instinctively gripped it tightly.

Before he could say more, Emperor Sanmo's figure had already vanished.

"This treasure was given to me just like that?" Xu Ke looked bewildered, feeling an immense sense of unreality.

Li Fan, meanwhile, silently compared the two different Beast Taming Wheels. The one bestowed by Emperor Yi featured patterns of only the species that had followed Xu Ke in migration, but its suppressive power over demonic beasts was stronger. Even the strongest among them, the Red Nine-Headed comparable to a human Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, lived or died at the whim of the Beast Taming Wheel's holder. This was determined by the characteristic that all demonic beasts of the Xuanhuang Realm originated from Emperor Yi's differentiation.

As for Emperor Sanmo's Beast Taming Wheel, it seemed to encompass all demonic beasts in the world except the Emperor Beasts. However, its control over demonic beasts was relatively weaker. After all, a sage or prophet could only offer specific advice, not dictate the path of choice.

"I wonder if the memories of techniques and divine abilities from this Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable's trial illusion will be lost after exiting."

"If I can absorb and convert the technology from these two Beast Taming Wheels, perhaps the empire can truly cultivate atavistic demon beasts."

In the empire's small world, there has always been such a conjecture. Exotic-beasts evolved from demon beasts, and all demon beasts in the world share a common ancestor. Thus, every exotic beasts inherently contains complete demon beast bloodline information.

The creation of the fusion beast resembling Emperor Yi was based on this conjecture. However, with too little mastery of ancient demon beast data, targeted atavism experiments for demon beasts could not be realized. Otherwise, recreating the era when ancient demon beasts roamed freely would not be difficult.

"In any case, let us record them well first."

The information contained in the two Beast Taming Wheels was too vast. Even with Li Fan's current abilities, fully mastering it was extremely taxing. Moreover, since it was not a native product of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Beast Taming Wheel information in this illusion seemed somewhat incomplete compared to the real thing.

But that did not prevent Li Fan from monopolizing the two Beast Taming Wheels at all times.

Next, the plot direction of the [Upheaval in the Beast Taming Sect] began to deviate from the past. Xu Ke no longer received the task to go to the Divine Brush Sect to find the Rift Whale. Instead, he focused on handling the group of demon beasts within the sect.

"Unite all forces that can be united"—that should be the content tested in this second act scene.

When a calamity descends, as the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable, one naturally needs to demonstrate coordination abilities far beyond ordinary people. The Xuanhuang Realm has numerous complex forces, each harboring ulterior motives. But ultimately, they all belong to the human race. The contradictions and conflicts between them are certainly not as great as those between humans and demon beasts.

At least, that is what needs to be shown on the surface. If the relationship between this group of demon beasts and the Beast Taming Sect can be handled well, it should pass this test.

"Do not resort to suppressing with the Beast Taming Wheel at the first sign of difficulty. Persuade with reason, convince the beasts..."

"If one day the Beast Taming Wheel fails, how will you cope?"

"In ancient times of the Xuanhuang Realm, there was the Holy Emperor, who had no strength to bind a chicken. Yet his words were sincere, his treatment of others genuine. All who conversed with him felt like basking in a spring breeze. From top to bottom, all revered and submitted to him."

While studying the Beast Taming Wheel, Li Fan cultivated to increase his own strength. At the same time, he guided Xu Ke on how to handle and command that group of demon beasts.

Compared to humans, demon beasts had far fewer schemes and even seemed simpler. Under the personal guidance of Grand Preceptor Li, Xu Ke only used the power of the Beast Taming Wheel three times over these years. In most cases, he resolved various crises merely through words and actions.

Finally, he gradually earned the trust of all the demon beasts.

In the end, the Great Calamity of Incompatible Cultivation Technique finally descended. Since the entire Beast Taming Sect cultivated only one technique, they could not hold out for long, and signs of collapse soon appeared.

"To think it is such a terrifying calamity, the incompatible law of cultivation technique..."

Xu Ke's face looked somewhat grim.
