Chapter 568: Fire Domain! The Simplest Breeding Method!

Fire Domain.

A super-tier fire-type domain skill.

Domain skills are common among high-level companion beasts, often used as a means of attack.

Many advanced racial companion beasts possess such skills.

However, as a domain skill passed down by the Fire Sovereign, it was far from simple. Through Little Flame's guidance, Su Ping had already learned about it.

This Imperial-rank Fire Sovereign's inherited super-tier domain skill could integrate with all other fire-type domain skills.

As a single companion beast, it could freely overlay multiple domains!

Just this fact alone was enough to reveal the terror and power of the Fire Sovereign.

Previously, Su Ping had witnessed the Inferno Blaze Phoenix in action.

Although he didn't fully grasp its power, the fact that Jia Ji was so solemn, and later, the opponent managed to escape, was enough to demonstrate the strength of the Inferno Blaze Phoenix.

And now, this skill was his!

In the Beast Taming Realm, Little Flame was negotiating with the Fire Sovereign's avatar, apparently communicating to obtain the data of the Fire Domain.

Su Ping wasn't idle either. He glanced somewhat regretfully at the strange little island.

Even though Jia Ji and the Inferno Blaze Phoenix's main target wasn't this island, a legendary-rank beast and a half-legendary beast, along with the terrain advantage, made the aftermath alone unbearable for ordinary beings.

The small island, originally formed by the strange terrain, was now on the verge of shattering.

The other companion beasts on it were either dead or fleeing.

It was a pity, but Su Ping soon found what he was looking for.

Those ordinary water-type companion beasts, even if they were of high level, were not particularly valuable.

Instead, the fire-type underwater companion beasts were the truly rare and precious species.

Some were even considered extinct in the Dragon Nation's records.

For example, the Steam Flying Fish! The Rocket Turtle!

And the Exploding Sea Star! The former was a Lord-rank, while the latter two were Monarch-rank fire-type underwater companion beasts.

Su Ping didn't hesitate. His Imperial-rank mental power enveloped them, and the few beasts that were already half-dead from the aftermath of the battle between the two powerful beings were completely subdued.

They were obediently collected by Su Ping into the Beast Taming Realm.

Afterward, Su Ping walked around the island, and apart from collecting numerous companion beast corpses, he threw them into the Reincarnation Monument, turning them into nourishment for undead-type characteristics. There were no other gains.

However, being able to obtain those extremely rare companion beasts was already a good outcome.

Just then, Meng Yao had always wanted him to raise a few aquatic companion beasts. These beasts would be perfect for the core area of the Water Heart.

Of course, this was based on ensuring that these beasts would obey.

After wandering for over an hour, Su Ping was finally satisfied.

Jia Ji glanced at the delighted Su Ping and said,

"I really don't understand you, kid. Having reached your level, why are you still so interested in these low-level companion beasts?"

"Every companion beast has the potential to reach the pinnacle! The rules of evolution are so mysterious and profound! I naturally want to comprehend them more."

Hearing Su Ping's words, Jia Ji was slightly taken aback, then thought for a moment and nodded,

"Humans are indeed extraordinary. It's because of humans that the evolutionary civilization on Blue Star is so prosperous! It was because the original body discovered this that it wholeheartedly supported a human tribe..."

But Su Ping thought for a moment and asked,

"Senior, in the past, wasn't the evolution of companion beasts not as common?"

Jia Ji nodded, "I was born less than ten thousand years ago! The history and civilization of humans began to show signs of development only over eight thousand years ago!

During the time when the original body grew up, evolution did exist, but it was extremely rare, precious, and valuable!

In the kingdoms of ferocious beasts, once a companion beast was found to have evolved, it would be rewarded by the royal family, and many would either be absorbed or killed!

Evolved ferocious beasts were too rare and precious! Almost one in ten thousand could achieve it, and the upper limit of their race was determined from the moment they were born!"

Listening to Jia Ji's explanation, Su Ping furrowed his brows slightly, thinking of the reason:

"Is it due to resource limitations?"

Jia Ji's face showed appreciation, satisfied with Su Ping's quick reaction:

"Resource limitations are one aspect, but it's the innate wisdom of humans that allows them to find systematic methods for the evolution of ferocious beasts!

Not only is their innate wisdom extremely high, but they also possess innate skills like Beast Taming Space!

The space cultivation characteristics of Beast Taming Space allow for the cultivation of resources that originally could only be found in rare places!

The emergence of these resources has given rise to the birth of breeders among human beastmasters. The entire Blue Star, which had maintained a beastly landscape for countless tens of thousands of years, underwent unimaginable changes.

But Su Ping didn't feel overly proud of being human. Instead, he furrowed his brows slightly, deep in thought.

How did these incredible humans come into existence?

On this Blue Star,

Did a special companion beast, during one of its evolutions,

Complete the task?

He didn't know, and as he pondered, he directly asked his companion beast within the soul contract:

"Little Hour, can you go back in time and witness the origin of humanity?"

Upon hearing her master's unreliable suggestion, Little Hour was speechless:

'Master, your Little Hour is currently too weak. Aside from the very early days when I wandered in the River of Time for a long time, I have never returned to such a distant past! My realm is insufficient to support going back to such an ancient era!

And I remember, even when I went back in time that once, I didn't see any messages about the origin of humanity...'

After receiving Little Hour's feedback, Su Ping nodded.

Time-based companion beasts aren't omnipotent, and Little Hour's ability, though extraordinary, has numerous limitations.

"After this awakening, human development has far exceeded the imagination of the main body, especially with the widespread appearance of Awakening Stones, greatly increasing the number of beastmasters..."

Jia Ji's words echoed again.

Su Ping understood her meaning.

Human beastmasters, upon reaching the age of eighteen, can awaken their Beast Taming Talent and create their first soul contract by crafting an Awakening Stone.

This represents the three aspects of a beastmaster's identity.

However, in ancient times, few people enjoyed this privilege.

Aside from those with exceptional talent who could awaken on their own, only a few aristocratic families could afford Awakening Stones to ensure their descendants' 100% awakening and inheritance of the beastmaster legacy.

This was one of the main reasons why beastmaster families and noble lineages have continued for countless years in Dragon Nation and throughout history.

As time passed, Awakening Stones became less valuable and more common, easing the situation.

Nowadays, almost every human has the opportunity to become a beastmaster upon reaching adulthood.

Nevertheless, Jia Ji's words did indeed make Su Ping ponder the origin of human beastmasters.

Eight thousand years seemed like a long time,

But for some truly top-tier beings like the Fire and Water Sovereigns,

Their lifespan exceeded a thousand years.

In this extraordinary world, eight thousand years isn't considered a long time.

However, before Su Ping could ponder further, a sudden soul feedback appeared, causing his brows to lift. Little Flame's figure materialized before him.

"Ssss!"

A joyful sound emanated from the fire elemental, which had transformed into a bird-like form.

At the same time, a message was conveyed through Little Flame's soul feedback!

The cultivation method of the Fire Domain.

Su Ping had initially thought that the cultivation method passed down by the Fire Sovereign, especially for a domain like the Fire Domain, would be challenging to cultivate. But after Little Flame's feedback, he realized that the method seemed simpler than he had imagined.

Upon closer inspection, it made sense.

This so-called Fire Domain was left behind by the Fire Sovereign, a genuine and authentic skill!

It was meant for his own use, and such a skill, even during the Fire Sovereign's time, was likely already prepared and improved upon.

In this case, as a super-tier domain skill for Little Flame, it shouldn't require overly complex steps.

Otherwise, the previous Inferno Phoenix would likely not have mastered it so swiftly.

Why are domain skills the representative combat skills of high-tier companion beasts? It's because they allow for finer control and manipulation of energy on a larger scale.

Domain overlay, the combination of two completely different domain effects, can achieve mutual support and enhancement in terms of elemental attributes.

The Fire Domain, this simple domain, can integrate with most other fire domain skills. Its essence lies in the fact that the domain doesn't undergo significant changes.

It only requires a straightforward process.

This is the most 'basic' super-tier skill Su Ping has encountered in terms of the resources needed for cultivation!

Little Flame doesn't require much from Su Ping; she merely hovers above the sea of volcanic lava.

Countless thousands of degrees of the Core of the Earth's fire emitted a terrifyingly high temperature. The scorching heat and the steam it produced could severely injure a Monarch Rank pet beast.

However, Little Flame bathed in that steam, continuously burning, and an indescribable temperature spread around her.

In the next moment, the terrifying lava ocean seemed to cool down slightly.

Then, a flame was pulled out of nowhere.

Su Ping and Seafox remained silent.

The former was observing the process of learning and comprehending this special super-stage skill, while the latter, apart from wanting to see her greatest rival from her previous life, was also on guard against the possibility of the Inferno Blaze Phoenix making a surprise attack again.

It took roughly two hours.

Finally, the temperature of the flames on the surface of the Core of the Earth, which originally reached four to five thousand degrees, began to drop.

Four thousand degrees, three thousand degrees, two thousand degrees, one thousand degrees, and then, Little Flame swallowed it in one go.

Indeed, this was the method of cultivating the so-called Fire Domain.

Of course, this was just the beginning.

If the Fire Domain did not overlap with other domains, it only had the ability to control flames. Cultivation did not require any resources, only a complete mastery of flames, allowing free control over the temperature within the domain. Once a certain realm was reached, it was achievable.

After realizing this skill, Su Ping even doubted whether this domain skill could be considered a super-stage skill. In the conventional impression of the breeding world, the more complex the cultivation steps and the higher the resources used, the more impressive the results would be.

However, the Fire Domain in front of him seemed to challenge this conventional impression.

Therefore, Su Ping observed very carefully.

Even the process of refining the flame's temperature lasted for a full day and night.

Indeed, under these circumstances, Little Flame continuously lowered the seemingly endless temperature of the Core of the Earth's fire, then swallowed it, for a full day and night.

Su Ping watched for a full day and night.

Throughout this time, Little Flame did not use any resources.

Su Ping could only see that Little Flame's control over the flame's temperature became smoother and more proficient.

Not only did she make the extremely hot Core of the Earth's fire less intense, but she could also instantly raise the temperature of the flames she summoned to the highest level she could control.

And Little Flame's greatest strength was in temperature!

It was worth noting that the cultivation of her Flame Seed, Southern Brightening Fire, relied on extreme high temperatures!

Finally, after a day and night, a familiar Skill Enlightenment Light appeared on Little Flame's body!

At this moment, Su Ping felt that his understanding as a breeder had risen to a new level.

It wasn't that ancient, rudimentary cultivation methods were entirely inferior to modern ones!

Moreover, skill cultivation was not the same as evolution or breakthrough cultivation!

Skill cultivation was more about developing the pet beast's potential and versatility in using skills! It didn't necessarily require overly complex and extravagant resources!

Thinking about this, Su Ping suddenly felt a sense of simplicity in the grand path. The true transmission could be in a single sentence, while the false transmission might fill countless books, and it seemed to be no different?

For example, right now.

Through her Spirit Eye, he could clearly see the skill that Little Flame had acquired:

【Super Fire Domain (Beginner): A prototype of a world of flames, can integrate with other fire domain skills to form domain overlay! Can freely control the finest fire elemental energy in the air and complete the temperature increase, with extremely strong power and can be used in conjunction with almost all fire skills!】

A very simple and plain skill description, but the effect was quite impressive.

Although it couldn't compare with Qianyi's Death Sword Domain in terms of power.

However, as the initial fire domain skill, it had boundless potential for the future.

After all, Qian yi's evolution had too much coincidence and randomness. Little Flame's level as Flame Sovereign was not low, but compared to the future of the Death God, it indeed fell short.

However, the Fire god Zhuque in myths and legends was not necessarily inferior to anything else.

Before Su Ping could further reflect.

Suddenly, Little Flame's body trembled, and she abruptly returned to Su Ping's Beast control space.

In the next moment, apart from the Flame Sovereign avatar that contributed the super-stage Fire Domain skill, over ten Monarch Rank Flame Sovereign avatars rushed toward Little Flame like swift swallows!

Through the feedback of the soul contract, Su Ping immediately understood.

As a Flame Sovereign avatar that had not broken through any bottlenecks, Little Flame was ready to devour these same-rank avatars, becoming the second Imperial Rank pet beast in Su Ping's contract!
