After the tournament concluded, Li Jun wasted no time.
The Grand Elder personally escorted him to the Ancient Beast Archive, a heavily restricted section of the Beast Master Academy.
Standing before the entrance, Li Jun felt an ancient aura radiating from within.
"This archive contains knowledge lost for centuries," the Grand Elder said. "Many have sought its secrets, but few have gained true understanding."
Li Jun nodded. For me, this is just the beginning.
The Forbidden Knowledge
As he stepped inside, the doors sealed shut behind him.
Rows upon rows of ancient scrolls, stone tablets, and aged books lined the massive chamber. The air was thick with a mysterious energy of the past.
He activated his All-Knowing Eye, scanning the texts for anything of value.
Suddenly—
A faint golden glow caught his attention.
It came from an old, tattered scroll buried beneath layers of dust.
Li Jun carefully picked it up and unrolled it.
[Secret of the Lost Beast Masters]
His heart pounded.
This scroll contained records from over a thousand years ago, from an era before even his past life.
The Revelation
As he read through it, shock filled his mind.
The ancient records spoke of a forgotten path of Beast Mastery—
A power beyond simple contracts and evolution.
> "The strongest Beast Masters did not merely tame their beasts…
They merged their souls, reaching a level where beast and master became one entity."
Li Jun's breath hitched.
A soul fusion technique?
No such ability had been recorded in modern times.
Could this be the key to surpassing the Demi-God Realm?
As he read further, he found another shocking revelation.
> "Five divine beasts once ruled this world, each holding the essence of primordial power…"
Li Jun's eyes narrowed.
These must be the same five God-level beasts that had threatened humanity in his past life!
But according to the scroll—
They didn't just appear out of nowhere.
They were created.
A Hidden Truth
Li Jun clenched his fists.
If this was true, then someone—or something—had orchestrated their existence.
Could this be the true reason for my rebirth?
Before he could process further, a sudden wave of spiritual pressure descended upon him.
BOOM!
A ghostly voice echoed through the chamber.
"Who dares disturb the knowledge of the ancients?"
Li Jun's eyes flashed.
He wasn't alone.
