After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

"First try a symbiotic relationship with Sìxiàng."

Chen Xing wanted to know how much the Ascension Fourth Step Shadow and the symbiosis with Sìxiàng could amplify his Energy Level now.

The Shadow surged toward Sìxiàng like a tide.

It was as if the black tide clung to the surface of Sìxiàng's body.

Chen Xing noticed that the symbiosis now seemed different, resembling a layer of black membrane tightly adhering to the wings and skin of Sìxiàng.

Energy Level 126+30

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, directly advancing him by three layers.

However, thinking of the state of the Shadow, Chen Xing could understand.

After all, it was the Fourth Step of Ascension, and Sìxiàng's Energy Level was just beyond the Third Layer...

Their difference spanned an entire major realm.

Only amplifying by three layers was probably the limit of this ability.

But if amplified by three layers, Sìxiàng's Energy Level could temporarily reach the Sixth Layers.

Even if the Shadow did not intervene, merely relying on the amplification power, facing most high-ranking Transcendence, Sìxiàng could probably achieve an overpowering victory.

And this was just with Sìxiàng, what if it were to symbiotically bond with a golden-quality Taotie...

"If you maintain a symbiotic state, will others detect your presence if you usually stay on Sìxiàng?"

"No." The Shadow extended a few tendrils from above Sìxiàng's head and gently shook them.

This was something it was very confident about!

Due to its Species' uniqueness, in a symbiotic state, its aura would merge perfectly with the symbiote.

Unless it was the type of perceptive Ascension that might detect its presence.

"Then that's acceptable," Chen Xing nodded.

It was fine if ordinary people couldn't find out, and those who could detect it... wouldn't likely speak recklessly.

Moreover, maintaining a symbiotic relationship with Sìxiàng at all times would also be beneficial for monitoring and protection of the surroundings.

Subsequently, Chen Xing returned the Demon Eagle to the Gourmet Space.

As for the Pure You Hua in the space, Chen Xing did not have any thoughts of healing it yet.

Because, unlike the Shadow and the Demon Eagle, which had signed a contract, Pure You Hua only gave him a verbal promise, to keep it in the Gourmet Space was partly to give face to the Demon Eagle and also because its skills were mostly Healing skills, and it didn't possess strong combat capabilities.

This treatment of the Demon Eagle's injuries was giving Pure You Hua a chance.

And the essential oil had also run out, to do another spa with essential oil, he would need to purchase ingredients to make more oil.

If it was smart, it would naturally bring out sincerity that others could believe in.

Just as Chen Xing predicted,

inside the Gourmet Space, Pure You Hua was staring intently at the Demon Eagle.

"Your injuries... have recovered?" Pure You Hua sensed the perfect and intact aura from the Demon Eagle, along with the pressure from its Ascension status.

Pure You Hua's petals trembled slightly.

"Yes." The Demon Eagle was somewhat emotional; it also hadn't expected to recover to its peak like this day.

It had thought that even if it managed to recover to this state in the future, it would take a long time.

Yet it happened faster than anticipated.

The Demon Eagle could guess some of Chen Xing's thoughts.

Looking at Pure You Hua, it said solemnly, "If you also wish to recover from your original source injuries, show sincerity like I did."

Pure You Hua remained silent.

After speaking, the Demon Eagle said no more, having said what it needed to.

If Pure You Hua could open up, it would naturally understand.

If Pure You Hua couldn't take it to heart, no matter how much it said, it would be useless.

Both were thousands of years old spirits, certainly each had their own logical thought process.

"But I can confidently tell you that all my injuries have healed," the Demon Eagle said before lying down on the side.

Watching the Demon Eagle's back, Pure You Hua's petals fluctuated, showing its restive heart.

...

"Master, do you intend to subdue the creatures from the Dark Realm?" the Shadow inquired.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"With your ability, if you wish, you could completely win over those old creatures in the Dark Realm," the Shadow remarked, the Dark Realm being a prison for that group of creatures was due to its special geographical environment, staying too long would erode their original source.

These old monsters had all suffered severe damage to their origins.

If they knew there was a chance for recovery, they would all go mad.

Even if it meant signing some unfair contracts, there were old monsters willing to bow their heads.

However, those who could be imprisoned here were not of good kind, these old monsters would definitely cause trouble behind the scenes.

"No." Chen Xing said calmly, "What we have now is enough."

With the Demon Eagle available, their top combat power was also sufficient for the current stage.

Chen Xing still had a good grasp of the core priorities.

Moreover, if they really signed a contract, did these old monsters truly have no other means to bypass the contract?

Not to mention, they had significant disputes with the previous Arbiter of the Dark Realm.

Managing a group of scheming individuals in a battle of wits was too exhausting; it was better to properly nurture his own Beast Taming.

...

Returning to the gathering place outside Stone City,

the crowd still gathered there.

Chen Xing's departure for a few days hadn't caused much of a stir.

"You're finally back." Han Yuning breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chen Xing return.

She had dreamed the previous night that Chen Xing encountered a misfortune, fortunately, it was just a nightmare.

"Is your business finished?" Zhao Guangming asked.

Chen Xing had left on the pretext of handling some personal matters.

So, the others didn't ask too much.

"It's finished." Chen Xing nodded.

And he thought to himself that the results were better than he had expected.

He had thought that, at most, the Demon Eagle might re-enter Ascension.

Instead, it had returned to its peak, and so had the Shadow.

Although neither was his Beast Taming, he now had two major protectors at the Ascension Level.

Even though neither was a powerhouse at the same realm, one at Ascension Third Layers, and the other at Fourth Layers—just imagine if their realms weren't high.

Just by their realm alone they could suppress a host of geniuses.

Once the Demon Eagle displayed good behavior, fixing its core power inflation wouldn't be a big issue.

"Brother Gu, Stone City is gone now, what are your plans moving forward?" Chen Xing found Gu Yuzhi, who was chatting with Dong Fangming and Junting.

"Junting and others are planning to establish a few strongholds." Gu Yuzhi paused, his tone complex, "I've spent nearly half my life on this Stone City, and now it's gone... that's probably for the better."

Stone City was a shackle, and also a tombstone.

He had spent three hundred years refining this city, a tombstone personally built by Chi Xing.

Now that the tombstone, along with Chi Xing, has been forever buried into the abyss.

It was time he lived for himself.

Nowadays, many parts of the Exotic Region were undergoing dramatic changes, with some areas changing more in one year than they had in the past hundred years.

Gu Yuzhi planned to seek an opportunity for Ascension.

Returning to Great Xia was good, but it was not yet time for retirement, at least not until he had stepped into Ascension.

"I'm planning to take Su Lai to the Myriad Layers Territory to check out, I heard there are rumors of a Divine Battlefield," his Beast Taming lacked only Divinity and Divine Power.

The Divine Battlefield was the place most likely to uncover these two things.

"I plan to go back and visit, I've always sneaked back before, unable to use my real identity; I want to visit my own tombstone and, while I'm at it, pay respects to some old friends too."

Junting laughed, "I'll stay here. We've discussed in the last few days and think that the disappearance of Stone City might not be a bad thing.

Previously, Stone City was too big of a target, although it provided resources, many things were constrained.

Now, without Stone City, we don't need to be so cautious in what we do.

It's a good opportunity to teach these little tykes from the Exotic Region what guerilla warfare is." Discover more content at empire

There was something else Junting didn't say; his path was different, needing a constant flow of fame.

And what better place to gain renown than on the frontlines of a battlefield.

At this, Junting's gaze sharpened as he looked at Chen Xing, "However, I guess there might be people in the country trying to suppress my fame, and I know you definitely don't want to follow the path of imitation Divinity, so can I borrow your publicity channels for a bit?

Your organization has just been established, and apart from you, no one else can follow the path of imitation Divinity; it's a waste to leave your channels idle, better to lend them to me, I'll repay you double in the future.

Once you and I have both achieved Ascension. you in charge of your organization and I at the Jin Ye Guard, the whole special services of Great Xia will be under our control."
