Chapter 1082 Unifying the Beast Control Sect
Xu Ke tightly held the Beast Turning Wheel in his hand, not daring to relax his mind for a moment.
After a while, the restless team of monster beasts slowly calmed down. Not because of Xu Ke's efforts, but because Di San Mao had appeared.
Interestingly, at the Sacred Beast Convention of Nanming Mountain, when Di San Mao was mentioned, all these monster creatures sneered at him, calling him a disgrace to the monster race, saying that he should be exterminated. But now, with Di San Mao appearing in person, the monster beasts present were all silent and none dared to speak loudly.
Xu Ke expressed his doubts in his heart.
"Lord Xuan Niao, why do I feel that in the eyes of these guys, Uncle San seems even scarier than Emperor Yi?"
Li Fan smiled and said, "As the Monster Beast Emperor, Emperor Yi has to consider the welfare of the entire monster race and administer rewards and punishments with moderation. In general, as long as you don't provoke him, there is no danger. But the present Di San Mao has openly betrayed the monster beasts and defected to the human race."
"The traitor of the monster race, not only did he survive well, he even helped human cultivators establish the Beast Control Sect..."
"Guess who has killed more monsters over these years, Emperor Yi or Di San Mao?"
Xu Ke fell into contemplation. Then he glanced at the kindly white-haired elder and couldn't help shivering.
With Di San Mao personally suppressing them, this team of monster beasts naturally behaved obediently on the surface.
But Di San Mao did not force them to join the Beast Control Sect or submit to the slavery of human cultivators.
Instead, he designated a large area of land on the territory of the Beast Control Sect for these monster beasts to temporarily dwell in.
Although it was a bit crowded, survival was not a problem.
After Xu Ke narrated the situation, Di San Mao asked, "Why did you say those words to Emperor Yi?"
Xu Ke was prepared and calmly replied, "Senior Emperor Yi mentioned that a great calamity in the Xuan Huang Realm is imminent, so he intends to split the realm and leave. But while he can escape, we cannot. To deal with the calamity, we must unite all possible forces. With the strength of this group of monster beasts joining us, at least we will have a much better chance of overcoming the calamity in the Beast Control Sect."
Di San Mao fell into silent contemplation.
This speech did not seem like something a child could come up with. But Di San Mao had lived for too long, and he no longer judged a person's wisdom based on their age.
After a while, he said calmly, "Since this trouble was caused by you, I leave its handling entirely to you. If anyone among this group of beasts causes trouble or violates the rules of the Sect, I will hold you accountable."
With that, Di San Mao also threw a round plaque to Xu Ke.
It was not much different from the one Emperor Yi had given him.
The beast pattern carved on it was more elaborate and vivid.
"This is..."
"The Sect's treasure, the Beast Turning Wheel?" Xu Ke quickly recognized the treasure that Di San Mao had handed to him and instinctively grasped it tightly.
Before he could say anything more, Di San Mao's figure had already disappeared.
"Did he just give me this treasure so easily?" Xu Ke looked bewildered, feeling incredibly unreal.
Meanwhile, Li Fan secretly compared the two different Beast Turning Wheels.
The one given by Emperor Yi, although it only included the types of beasts that migrated with Xu Ke, had a stronger suppression effect on the monsters. Even the strongest among them, like the Red Nine-Headed beast comparable to a human Longevity Realm cultivator, would live or die at the whim of the holder of the Beast Turning Wheel. This was determined by the characteristic of the monster beasts in the Xuan Huang Realm that were derived from Emperor Yi.
As for the Beast Turning Wheel given by Di San Mao, it seemed to include all the creatures in the world except for the Imperial Beasts. But its control over the monster beasts was relatively weaker. After all, wise and prophetic beings could only give specific advice and could not determine their choices.
"I wonder if the memories of techniques and abilities related to the Ancient Shengnuo Realm gods and tactics will be lost after coming out of the Xuan Huang Grand Supreme's trial."
"If I could absorb and transform the techniques of these two Beast Turning Wheels, the Empire might truly be able to cultivate ancestral monster beasts."
This had always been a speculation in the small world of the Empire.
Beasts evolved from monsters, and all monsters had a common ancestor. So in reality, each exotic beast contained complete monster bloodline information.
The creation of the fusion beast resembling Emperor Yi was based on this speculation.
However, there was too little information about the ancient monster beasts, and it was impossible to conduct targeted experiments on monster beasts' reversion. Otherwise, it would not be difficult to reproduce the situation of ancient monster beasts rampaging.
"In any case, I will record their information carefully."
The information contained in the two Beast Turning Wheels was too extensive, and even with Li Fan's current abilities, fully mastering it was very difficult. Also, because it was not a native product of the Xuan Huang Realm, the information in the Beast Turning Wheels in this illusion seemed to be somewhat incomplete compared to the actual objects.
But this did not stop Li Fan from holding the two Beast Turning Wheels at all times.
Next, the plot of "The Change of the Beast Control Sect" deviated from the past.
Xu Ke no longer received the task of going to the Divine Pen Sect to search for the Rift Realm Whale, but instead focused on managing the group of monster beasts within the Sect.
"Uniting all possible forces" was probably the content that needed to be tested in this second act.
When a calamity struck, as the Grand Supreme of the Xuan Huang Realm, one naturally had to demonstrate exceptional coordination and planning abilities. The forces within the Xuan Huang Realm were diverse and filled with hidden agendas. But ultimately, they all belonged to the human race.
The conflicts and tensions among them were certainly not as great as those between humans and monster beasts.
At least on the surface, it needed to be portrayed that way.
By handling the relationship between this group of monster beasts and the Beast Control Sect, it was likely that he would pass this test.
"Don't resort to using the Beast Turning Wheel to suppress every difficulty. Use reason to win over the beasts..."
"If one day, the Beast Turning Wheel becomes ineffective, how will you deal with it?"
"In the ancient Xuan Huang Realm, there was a Sage Emperor. Despite having no physical strength, he spoke sincerely and treated people genuinely. Everyone who conversed with him felt as if they were being showered with a spring breeze. There was no one who did not respect or revere him, from the top to the bottom."
As Li Fan studied the Beast Turning Wheel, he also cultivated and increased his own strength.
At the same time, he guided Xu Ke on how to handle and command the group of monster beasts.
Compared to humans, the monster beasts seemed to have fewer hidden agendas and even appeared much more straightforward.
Under the personal guidance of Master Li, after these years, Xu Ke had only used the power of the Beast Turning Wheel three times. In the majority of cases, he resolved various crises just through words and actions.
Finally, he slowly gained the trust of all the monster beasts.
In the end, the great calamity of the inability to cultivate a single technique finally arrived.
Because the Beast Control Sect only cultivated a single technique, they were not able to hold out for long, and signs of collapse soon appeared.
"Such a terrifying calamity, the inability to cultivate a single technique..."
Xu Ke's face looked difficult.
