The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 510: Chapter 320 Semi-Legend, Six Paths Flower_1

A thousand-year Empire, it seemed, only The First Emperor had ever cultivated a Pet Beast of Semi-Legendary Species.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran felt quite amazed.

But there was no helping it.

In the early days of the Empire, the Beast Training system was undergoing a redevelopment phase.

Unlike their descendants, who train standing on the shoulders of their predecessors.

This is just like the path of a Blue Star First Generation Beast Trainer being harder than that of a Fourth Generation.

Therefore, Beast Trainers who cultivated Semi-Legendary Species in the later period of the Empire far outnumbered those from the early to middle periods.

Even the Legendary Beast Trainers born in various eras were all born at the end of those times.

The time period left for Lu Ran’s choices was indeed limited.

The First Emperor cultivated a Semi-Legendary Legend of the Fox.

The Fourth Empress was extremely lucky to form a contract with a descendant of a Legendary creature, which was why she was entrusted by the Third Emperor and became the first female ruler.

Star-Winged Butterfly...

Foxes, butterflies...

Both were undoubtedly excellent choices.

After all, they were of Semi-Legendary Species.

Consider Mr. Husky, who, even with the Deer Horn of God, was barely at Semi-Legendary status, and that was the kind without corresponding combat capabilities.

If one could contract a true Semi-Legendary being, to say nothing of dominating Blue Star,

Even in the Star-Moon Federation, one could definitely walk with prestige.

The potential of Semi-Legendary creatures was that powerful. If not a legend, then at Quasi-god status, they could look down upon all Overlords.

Even Lu Ran had no confidence in evolving the King of Sudden Death and the others to Semi-Legendary status during the second evolution phase.

Mainly because the later the Species Level, the harder it was to enhance, unlike the earlier stages where integrating an Attribute could raise several Levels.

However, whether it was the Fox God or the Butterfly God, when Lu Ran heard Emperor Yun utter the name of the last National Guardian Beast, he focused his attention on the last one!

He also felt a sense of distortion in space-time.

"Your Majesty Emperor Yun, did you just mention the Six Paths Flower?"

"If I am not mistaken, are you referring to a type of plant?"

"Can plants also form lives?"

Plants can certainly develop into extraordinary lives, but that’s after the advent of the Divine Tree, which broke the established rules.

It’s only the early period of the Beast Training Era now; how could there be plant life?

But just after posing the question, Lu Ran realized.

In the Animal God era, why couldn’t there be plant life?

Otherwise, where did the first batch of Plant Gods come from?

Like the Divine Tree, as a Plant Principal God that broke the rules set by Animal Gods, it must have developed Spirit Intelligence in a very ancient era.

By the same logic.

Apart from it, there must also be some plants with exceptionally explosive talents that have developed Spirit Intelligence on their own, even if the rules did not allow for it.

Just like how the Human Tribe, despite being sealed, could still give rise to legends.

It’s just that their numbers are scarce, not as common as in the Plant Era, so they seem non-existent.

"Hehe, why can’t plants give rise to extraordinary life among them?" Emperor Yun also smiled slightly.

"Although extremely rare, with only a few instances in the whole world, they do exist."

"Is that so!" Realizing this, Lu Ran was very excited.

If there was a Semi-Legendary plant life known as Six Paths Flower in the early days of the Empire...

As a plant life with such early Spirit Intelligence development, could this Six Paths Flower potentially be one of the advanced spirits from the future Plant Spirit Era?

It’s wholly possible.

Viewed this way, the potential of the Six Paths Flower wasn’t just limited to a Semi-Legendary status.

Ah, if only one could find a sapling of a Main God Level Plant Spirit right now, that would be amazing.

Still, this Six Paths Flower wasn’t half bad either; its very name suggested an incredibly astonishing plant life.

Lu Ran’s heart surged with excitement, knowing that Infinite City wouldn’t disappoint him.

"It looks like you’re very interested in plant life," Emperor Yun said.

"Yes," Lu Ran nodded profusely.

"Well then, in a few days, I will arrange for you to meet the Six Paths Flower. If you’re lucky enough, perhaps you could follow it in training," he suggested.

Before long, Lu Ran was sent away.

Watching Emperor Yun, the Empress said, "Have you decided then, to take him as your apprentice?"

"Hmm, it’s settled, but as to what kind of master-apprentice relationship it will be, we’ll see after he meets the Six Paths Flower."

"We’ll have to trouble her again," Emperor Yun’s gaze was profound.

According to ancient records:

The Six Paths Flower.

It’s a rare plant life, exceptionally powerful.

It has a six-colored, six-petaled blossom, each hue representing a Talent.

Heavenly God Talent, Mortal Path Talent, Asura Path Talent, Hell Path Talent, Hungry Ghost Path Talent, and Beast Path Talent.

However, these six talents are merely expressions of its form; the Six Paths Flower also has a core seventh Talent, that is the discernment of good and evil.

Thus, the Six Paths Flower is also known as the Good and Evil Flower by the Imperial and Royal Clans.

The Six Paths Flower feeds on "benevolent emotions" and "malevolent emotions." The more benevolent emotions it absorbs, the stronger the talents of the Heavenly God Path, Mortal Path, and Asura Path become, and the more malevolent emotions it absorbs, the stronger the talents of the Hell Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Beast Path become.

Actually, this is also why the Six Paths Flower chose to stay in the Beast Training Empire.

Humans are the life forms with the richest emotions, and the most extreme in their acts of good and evil, and in order to feast on these emotions eternally, the Six Paths Flower came to the core of the empire and made a pact with The First Emperor.

It stayed within the human realm to savor the emotions of humans, and in exchange, should the empire face the disaster of annihilation, it would lend its aid if it was within its power to do so.

Yun Hao had seen the Good and Evil Flower; his master, the former emperor, had also taken him to meet the Good and Evil Flower.

It can be said that because the Good and Evil Flower sensed his benevolent heart for the country and the people, as well as recognized his astonishing potential, he was able to gradually stand out from the many disciples of the former emperor.

The Fifth Emperor, after a decade of observation, also confidently passed the throne to him.

Intent on taking Lu Ran as a disciple, Emperor Yun planned to first take Lu Ran to meet the Six Paths Flower, to let the flower sense the goodness and evil within Lu Ran’s heart.

......

After a while, Lu Ran returned to Yan Mansion.

When he arrived, Master Yan Feng immediately went to his courtyard.

"Mr. Husky,"

"You’ve met Emperor Yun, haven’t you?"

"He summoned you to the palace, was there something important?"

Lu Ran clasped his hands and said, "Nothing too important, just that he wants to take me as a disciple."

Oh, it’s just discipleship; Master Yan Feng had been scared to death, initially thinking it was a marriage decree...

"What?! Discipleship?!"

Suddenly, Master Yan Feng’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes..."

"You agreed?"

"How could I refuse?"

Master Yan Feng stood rooted to the spot, stupefied. The emperor taking a disciple was no trivial matter and moreover, Emperor Yun had never taken a disciple before; Lu Ran would be his first, such an important decision—how could Emperor Yun have suddenly made it?

This was happening too fast.

Even if Lu Ran had inherited the Flame Spirit, even if he had contracted an Overlord Beast, it didn’t seem right to hastily take him as a disciple without in-depth observation.

Master Yan Feng didn’t know it was the Seventh Princess who had helped a great deal.

Emperor Yun said it wasn’t that his daughter was reluctant to marry, but rather that taking a disciple offered a better cost-benefit.

"Mr. Husky, you are truly fortunate,"

"As his first disciple, and with Emperor Yun never having taken one before, your future has become even more immeasurable."

"The Emperor honors me... I was also very surprised."

At this point, Master Yan Feng could only helplessly offer his congratulations. On further thought, it wasn’t a bad thing after all.

Compared to becoming the royal son-in-law, Master Yan Feng found it more acceptable that Lu Ran was taken as a disciple by Emperor Yun.

To be precise, what the Yan Family valued more was Lu Ran’s bloodline.

If Lu Ran were to be married off by the royal family, it would be difficult for the Yan Family to ensure he left behind enough of his pure bloodline.

Now, as merely a disciple, Lu Ran would still be able to marry within the Yan Family, passing down the purest bloodline.

Even though Lu Ran’s loyalties might waver between the royal family and the Yan Family as he grew, being unable to fully side with the Yan Family’s interests, as long as he married a woman from the Yan Family, that would not be an issue.

[Looking at it this way, Emperor Yun still showed respect to the Yan Family, not taking things too far.]

Master Yan Feng smiled and said, "By the way, Mr. Husky, have you thought of a new name?"

"I have. Let’s go with Yan Lu."

"Good, good, good." Although Master Yan Feng didn’t understand the meaning behind the name, it was fine as long as it carried the Yan surname.

That day.

The high-level members of the Yan Family, though resigned to the fact Lu Ran was taken as a disciple by Emperor Yun, accepted it much like Master Yan Feng had thought they would.

Moreover, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. As Emperor Yun’s number one disciple, if they could find a way to make Lu Ran devoted to the Yan Family, then this would be a positive outcome. Lu Ran could secure significant benefits for the Yan Family. Yet the challenge remained in making the recently recognized Yan Lu feel connected to the Yan Family.

Upon consideration, the most cost-effective method might be to quickly arrange a wife for Yan Lu, allowing her to whisper into his ear at his side.

Only by fully integrating Yan Lu’s bloodline into the Yan Family could they increase his sense of family honor and belonging.

The next day.

The ceremony for the Yan Family descendant "Yan Lu" to recognize his lineage officially began.

The news spread far and wide, and many imperial clans and legendary families within the Imperial City were already aware.

Even in the tea houses and taverns on the streets, people began to discuss it.

"Who is this Yan Lu?"

In a tea house, a peculiarly dressed man and woman were sipping tea.

Hearing people’s discussions, the two looked puzzled.

If Lu Ran saw these two, he would have been very surprised.

Because they were none other than Jia Lan and Jia Na, the golden generation siblings with superpowers from India.

They had encountered Lu Ran in the Evolutionary Secret Realm before and wanted to invite him to visit the India Superpower Association, but their communication broke down abruptly when Lu Ran evolved an undead being directly, which scared them and made them internationally hostile.

Now, they had unexpectedly ended up in the same Secret Realm as Lu Ran.

"People have entered this time slot’s Breakthrough Secret Realm before and brought out a lot of data. The recording of an imperial clan descendant’s lineage recognition hasn’t been noted, which indicates it’s not a big deal; we shouldn’t worry about it," the superpowered woman Jia Na said.

"I was just wondering if it could also be a trialist," Jia Lan commented casually.

"Not likely. We’re talking about the imperial clan here, which is infinitely more profound than even legendary families. How could a trialist cause such a grand event for recognizing lineage?"

"But what if this trialist is Lu Ran?" Jia Lan said, "The Yan Emperor Family is Emperor Yan Sizhen’s family, and according to the information, didn’t Lu Ran inherit Emperor Yan Sizhen’s Flame Spirit? His level is also high enough to enter the Breakthrough Secret Realm."
