Chapter 568: Flame Domain! The Simplest Cultivation Method!
Chapter 568: Flame Domain! The Simplest Cultivation Method!
Flame Domain.
An advanced Flame Domain Skill.
Domain skills, as a common ability among high-level Companion Beasts, are often used as a means of attack.
Many advanced race Companion Beasts possess this skill.
However, as a Domain skill passed down by the Flame Sovereign and held in such high regard, it is far from simple. Through the communication with the little flame, Su Ping had already learned this.
This Imperial Rank Flame Sovereign Incarnation's inherited advanced skill is a domain that can merge with all other Fire Domain skills.
As a single Companion Beast, it can freely overlap multiple domains!
Just this fact alone reveals the terror and power of the Flame Sovereign.
Previously, Su Ping had witnessed the Inferno Phoenix in action. Although he didn't fully understand it, the fact that it made Jiao Ji, the Jelly Princess, so serious, and later even allowed her to escape, was enough to demonstrate the power of the Inferno Phoenix.
And now, this skill is his!
In the Beast Taming Space, the little flame is negotiating with the Flame Sovereign Incarnation, apparently communicating to obtain information about the Flame Domain.
Su Ping isn't idle either. He glances somewhat regretfully at the strange little island.
Even though Jiao Ji and the Inferno Phoenix's main target wasn't this island, the aftermath of a battle between a Legendary Rank, a half-step Legendary Rank, and the terrain-based resistance was not something ordinary.
The island, originally formed by the strange terrain, is now on the verge of shattering.
The other Companion Beasts on the island are either dead or have fled.
It's a pity, but Su Ping quickly finds what he's looking for.
Those ordinary Water-type Companion Beasts, even if they are of high level, are not particularly valuable.
Instead, the Fire-type underwater Companion Beasts are the truly rare and precious species.
Some of them, according to Dragon Nation's records, are even considered extinct.
For example, the Steam Flying Fish! The Rocket Turtle!
And the Explosive Sea Star! The former is Overlord Rank, while the latter two are Monarch Rank Companion Beasts.
Without hesitation, Su Ping's Imperial Rank mental power envelops them. Already half-dead from the aftermath of the battle between two powerful beings, these few Companion Beasts have no resistance left and are easily captured by Su Ping.
They are obediently placed into the Beast Taming Space.
Afterward, Su Ping walks around the island, collecting numerous Companion Beast corpses and throwing them into the Rebirth Tombstone to serve as nourishment for the Undead.
Apart from that, there are no other gains.
However, acquiring those extremely rare Companion Beasts is already a great achievement.
Meng Yao had asked him to raise a few aquatic Companion Beasts, so Su Ping decides to bring these back and place them in the core area of the Heart of Water for breeding.
Of course, this is on the condition that these creatures remain obedient.
After an hour of searching, Su Ping is finally satisfied.
Jiao Ji, the Jelly Princess, looks at Su Ping with a delighted expression and asks, "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 wondrous! I naturally want to understand them deeply."
Hearing Su Ping's words, Jiao Ji is slightly taken aback but then nods in agreement, "Humans are indeed extraordinary. It's because of humans that the evolutionary civilization on Bluesphere has flourished. My original body discovered this and decided to support a human tribe..."
Su Ping thinks for a moment and asks, "Senior, in the past, wasn't Companion Beast evolution less common?"
Jiao Ji nods, "I and my original body were born less than ten thousand years ago. Human history and civilization only began to show signs of development about eight thousand years ago.
When my original body was growing up, evolution was extremely rare, precious, and scarce. In some Beast Nations, when a Companion Beast evolved, it would be rewarded by the royal family, and many would either be absorbed or killed!
Evolved beasts were too rare and precious! Out of ten thousand, having even one succeed was considered remarkable!
Many beasts, from the moment of their birth, had their fate sealed by the rank of their race!"
Listening to Jiao Ji's explanation, Su Ping frowns slightly, thinking of the reason:
"Is it due to resource limitations?"
Jiao Ji shows appreciation, pleased with Su Ping's quick understanding, "You're right. Resource limitations are one aspect, but wisdom is another. Humans are naturally gifted, and they were able to discover the systematic method of beast evolution.
Not only do they possess high innate wisdom, but they also have innate abilities like the Beast Taming Space.
The Beast Taming Space's cultivation characteristics have led to the mass production of precious resources that were once only found in rare locations."
The emergence of these resources also marks the birth of cultivators among human Beastmasters. The entire Bluesphere, which had maintained a beast-dominated landscape for countless millions of years, underwent unimaginable changes.
But Su Ping did not revel in the achievements of humanity; instead, he furrowed his brows slightly, deep in thought.
How did humans, with their extraordinary abilities, come into existence?
In this Bluesphere, was it a special Companion Beast that, during one of its evolutions, accomplished this feat?
He didn't know, and as he pondered, he directly asked his Companion Beast through their Soul Contract:
"Xiao Huo, can you go back in time and witness the origins of humanity's birth?"
Upon hearing her master's impractical suggestion, Xiao Huo was speechless:
'Master, your Xiao Huo is currently too weak. Aside from a long, long time ago when I wandered through the river of time, I haven't returned to such a distant past! My realm is insufficient to support such a journey!'
'Moreover, I recall that even during that trip to the past, I didn't find any information about the origins of humanity...'
After receiving Xiao Huo's feedback, Su Ping nodded.
Time-type Companion Beasts are not omnipotent, and although Xiao Huo's abilities are heaven-defying, they are also extremely limited.
"Since this awakening, human development has surpassed the imagination of the original body, especially with the widespread appearance of Awakening Stones, significantly increasing the number of Beastmasters..."
Jiao Ji's words echoed once more.
Su Ping understood her meaning.
Human Beastmasters, upon reaching the age of eighteen, can awaken their Beast Taming Space and form their first Soul Contract by creating an Awakening Stone.
These three things symbolize the identity of a Beastmaster.
However, in ancient times, few people had this privilege.
Aside from those with exceptional talent who could awaken on their own, only a few wealthy families could afford Awakening Stones to ensure that their descendants would become Beastmasters.
This was one of the main reasons why Beastmaster families and clans have continued for countless years in the history of the Dragon Nation and the world.
As time went on, the value of Awakening Stones decreased, becoming more and more common, which alleviated the situation.
Nowadays, almost every human has the opportunity to become a Beastmaster upon reaching adulthood.
However, Jiao Ji's words did indeed make Su Ping ponder the origins of human Beastmasters. Where did they come from?
Eight thousand years seems like a long time, but for true top-tier beings like Flame Sovereign and Water Sovereign, their lifespans have already exceeded a thousand years.
In this extraordinary world, eight thousand years is not considered a long time.
Su Ping didn't have much time to think; a Soul Feedback suddenly appeared, causing his eyebrows to raise. Xiao Huo's figure, now in the form of a small flame, appeared before him.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
Pleasant sounds emanated from the Flame Element, which had transformed into a bird-like shape.
At the same time, a message was conveyed through Xiao Huo's Soul Feedback!
The Flame Domain Cultivation Method.
Su Ping had originally believed that the cultivation method passed down by Flame Sovereign, especially a domain-type method like the Flame Domain, would be challenging to cultivate. However, after Xiao Huo's feedback, he realized that this method seemed simpler than he had imagined.
Upon closer inspection, this made sense.
This so-called Flame Domain is a genuine Flame Sovereign legacy, a real and authentic skill left for himself, for his own use. Even when Flame Sovereign was still around, this skill was probably already prepared and improved upon.
As a super-tier domain skill for Xiao Huo, it wouldn't require overly complex steps.
Otherwise, the previous Inferno Phoenix wouldn't have been able to master it so quickly.
Domain skills are the signature combat skills of high-level Companion Beasts because they allow for more delicate and large-scale control of energy.
At the same time, after forming a domain, it can provide feedback to the user in appropriate combat environments.
Domain Overlap is the effect of two completely different domains, supporting and enhancing each other in terms of elemental attributes.
The Flame Domain, as simple as it is, can integrate with most other flame domain skills. Its essence lies in the fact that the domain doesn't have many variations; it only requires flames.
Therefore, this should be considered the most 'simple' super-tier skill Su Ping has ever seen in terms of the resources required for cultivation!
Xiao Huo doesn't need Su Ping to do much; she just needs to float above the sea of volcanic lava.
Countless thousands of degrees of magma spewed forth from the earth's core, emitting a terrifying high temperature. The steam from the scorching heat was enough to severely injure a Monarch Rank companion beast.
Yet, the little flame bathed in that steam, constantly burning, and an indescribable temperature spread around it.
The next moment, the terrifying lava ocean seemed to have slightly lowered in temperature.
Then, a flame was pulled out of thin air.
Neither Su Ping nor Jiao Ji spoke.
The former was observing the learning and comprehension process of this special advanced skill, while the latter, besides wanting to see his greatest rival from the previous life, was also on guard against the Inferno Phoenix, which might launch another sneak attack.
About two hours passed.
Finally, the flame from the earth's surface, which originally had a temperature of four to five thousand degrees, began to cool down.
Four thousand degrees, three thousand degrees, two thousand degrees, one thousand degrees, and then, it was 'swallowed' by the little flame.
Indeed, this was the cultivation method of the so-called Flame Domain.
Of course, this was just the beginning.
If the Flame Domain did not have other domain overlaps, it only had the ability to control flames, and cultivation did not even require any resources. It only needed complete mastery over flames, allowing free control of the temperature within the domain, and reaching a certain level of cultivation.
After perceiving this skill, Su Ping even doubted whether this domain skill could be considered an advanced skill. In the inherent impression of the cultivation world, the more complex the cultivation steps and the more advanced the resources used, the more remarkable the cultivated results would be.
However, the Flame Domain before him seemed to challenge this inherent impression.
So, Su Ping observed very carefully.
Even the process of refining the flame's temperature lasted for an entire day and night.
Indeed, under such circumstances, the little flame continuously lowered the temperature of the seemingly infinite magma and then devoured it, lasting for a day and a night.
Su Ping watched for an entire day and night.
During this time, the little flame did not use any resources.
Su Ping could only see that the little flame was becoming more and more adept at controlling the flame's temperature, making the terrifying magma less intense. At the same time, it could also raise the flames it summoned to the highest temperature it could control in an instant.
Moreover, the little flame's specialty was temperature!
It was known that its flame seed, the Southern Bright Flame, was cultivated with extreme high temperatures! After such a day and night, the little flame's body emanated the light of skill comprehension that Su Ping was familiar with! At that moment, Su Ping felt that his understanding of cultivation had risen to a new level.
Ancient, simple cultivation methods were not necessarily inferior to modern ones! Moreover, skill cultivation was not the same as evolution breakthrough cultivation! Skill cultivation was more about developing the potential and diversity of companion beasts' skill usage, and it did not necessarily require extremely exaggerated and complex cultivation resources!
With this thought, Su Ping suddenly felt a sense of simplicity in the path to the ultimate truth. The essence of the true teaching was passed down in one sentence, while the false teachings were spread through ten thousand volumes of books. Perhaps this was the case?
For example, at this moment.
Through the Spirit Eye, he could clearly see the little flame's skill:
[Advanced Flame Domain (Entry): The embryonic form of the flame world, capable of combining with other flame domain skills to form domain overlaps! Can freely control the finest fire elemental energy in the air and complete temperature increases, with extremely powerful effects that can be combined with almost all fire-type skills!]
A very simple and plain skill, but with excellent results.
Although it was far inferior to Qian Yi's Death Sword Domain.
However, as the initial fire domain skill, it had infinite potential for the future.
After all, Qian Yi's evolution had too many coincidences and accidents. The little flame's level of Flame Sovereign was not low, but compared to the future of the God of the Dead, it was indeed lacking.
However, the Fire God, the Vermilion Bird from the mythological legends, was not necessarily inferior to other things.
Before Su Ping could fully comprehend it,
Suddenly, the little flame's body shook, and it quickly returned to Su Ping's Beast Taming Space.
The next moment, besides the Flame Sovereign's split spirit that offered the advanced Flame Domain skill, there were nearly ten Monarch Rank Flame Sovereign split spirits, like baby swallows returning to the nest,
One by one, they rushed towards the little flame's body!
Through the feedback of the Soul Contract, Su Ping instantly understood.
As a Flame Sovereign split spirit without any breakthrough bottlenecks, the little flame was ready to devour these same-level peers and become the second Imperial Rank companion beast in Su Ping's contract!
