"You donât understand the matter of the Heavenly Tomb! Back in Eagle Country, when we were exploring that Heavenly Tomb, although we didnât learn much about the specific situation, we still received quite a bit of news."
"Indeed, there is a Realm restriction, but do you know how many Monarch Level Beastmasters from Eagle Country died?"
Su Anyong was taken aback and shook his head.
"In total, twenty groups went in. There were even more than a hundred individuals who had covertly sworn allegiance to us and wanted to go in to investigate. But in the end, out of those twenty groups, each consisting of around fifty Beast Tamers, only one person from each batch eventually came out of that Heavenly Tomb!"
"Ah?"
Su Anyong was clearly not very aware of these secrets. Upon hearing this newsâwhich, if not outright terrifying, was certainly close to itâhe couldnât help but exclaim in shock.
"This Heavenly Tomb is extremely strange. Once a batch of fifty evolved beings enters, it seals itself again. Even with a key, it cannot be reopened. Either all the Beast Tamers inside the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm must perish, or some requirement for clearing it must be met.
In summary, itâs extremely peculiar. Even our own people havenât uncovered much information. However, they did learn a few things: that Secret Realm is primarily related to the Necromancy Series, and itâs said to be teeming with Ghost Soul-type Pet Beasts!
With the four Heavenly Tombs, although we donât currently know what connections exist between them, they are ultimately similar. Under such circumstances, you should also prepare a little in this regard."
Leng Ye advised patiently.
Su Anyong nodded, then frowned slightly.
He hadnât known before what the true purpose was behind this elder asking him to lead the team and train the new Special Beast Taming Forces. Although he had heard of the Heavenly Tomb, it was only now that he truly understood the extent of the dangers lurking within.
From what it looks like, itâs practically a death sentence!
Although the situation in Dragon Nation might not be identical to that in Eagle Country, both are named âHeavenly Tomb.â The level of danger canât be too different, can it?
"Alright, stop looking like someone important to you died. Weâre different from them. Even if we do explore, the safety of our Beast Tamers will be our top priority. Thatâs not why I called you here today, to press you about this matter."
Leng Ye chuckled, dispelling the heavy and gloomy atmosphere of the previous topic, and then smiled, "Do you know what day it is today?"
Su Anyong obviously hadnât caught on and shook his head.
"New Yearâs Day. Your kid is over in Magic Capital now, getting ready to participate in todayâs Breeder competition!"
"Hm?"
Su Anyong was startled.
Then he realized and looked quizzically at the elder before him, "Youâre still keeping tabs on Xiao Ping?"
Leng Ye blinked, as if suddenly recalling something. He cleared his throat, touched his nose, and adopted a nonchalant air, saying, "Of course, the little guy is quite remarkable! He has much more potential in cultivation than Old Su ever did.
Sigh, that old fellow! Back when we were young, serving under Old Wolf in Ximo, he insisted on cultivating a new Wood Element head for Old Wolfâs three-headed hellhound.
The most outrageous part was that Old Wolf was actually convinced by the old man and agreed.
As a result, that three-headed hellhound vomited for three days and nights. Old Su was almost strung up on the mast and whipped to death by Old Wolf. He only survived because we stood with him in the sandstorm for three days and nights. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
Now, that old fellowâs grandson has not only grown up but has also become talented. Itâs a pity Old Su canât see this."
Leng Ye said this, partly to cover his earlier slip and partly with genuine nostalgia.
Su Anyong fell silent for a moment, then smiled, "Fatherâs talent was far inferior to yours!"
Leng Ye shook his head, "Actually, it was just so-so. That old fellow was stubborn. There were some things he wouldnât compromise on, and he had no intention of doing so. I, on the other hand, donât stick to the rules when I do things, so I naturally found more opportunities.
Besides, that old fellow was practically possessed, insisting on going down the path of a Breeder. What a blockhead.
But speaking of which, that old fellow can now rest in peace. He has a grandson with such a promising future in that field!"
A smile touched Su Anyongâs lips as well.
Leng Ye lightly pressed a remote control beside him, and the office flashed with light.
A virtual screen projected before the two of them.
"Dear audience members! All the Breeders of Dragon Nation! Happy New Year!"
"In this new year, we meet again here to witness the research achievements of those Breeders who have toiled on the front lines of Pet Beast cultivation over the past year!"
"First, we would like to thank the Dragon Country Breeding Master Association, Dragon Prosperous Group, Ocean Ecology Group..."
This wasnât the first time Su Ping had watched the Breeder competition.
In the past, he had always watched it on TV or his smartphone.
It was, however, his first time watching from backstage, not far from the actual stage where a male and a female host faced the cameras, their faces beaming with enthusiasm.
Next to him, Sun Chaoju clicked his tongue, "This Lu Yangyang... she doesnât look as good in person as she does on TV, does she?"
Su Ping shot him a sidelong glance.
"Speaking of which, is the list out yet? When are we up?"
Sun Chaoju shook his head, "Our teacher is in the lounge getting it now. I suppose the order is already set!"
