Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

214 Meeting Nangong Yuze

In the next moment, a scene appeared in Shen Fei’s mind. The mountains and rivers there were magnificent, and the peaks were stacked along the horizon.

There was an ancient palace that stood amid the mountains. Some parts of the palace were suspended in the clouds, and they were made of purple gold. Auspicious Qi shrouded them, making it look like an immortal palace. There were also some parts that floated in the air like a blazing sun, releasing scorching light.

‘Could this be the place that was said to be specially made for high-tier Beastmasters? A blessed land for cultivation?’ Shen Fei thought to himself.

At the same time, he was filled with anticipation. He hoped that he could cultivate in this place. However, as he thought about it, his mind shook again.

The next moment, he felt his soul leaving his body and floating into a vast void that was like an endless field of stars. Among the stars, there was a huge one. All sorts of strange phenomena appeared on that star.

A giant dragon lay across the starry sky. An ancient pagoda stood tall. A long sword was stuck in the ground. A huge cauldron pressed down on the galaxy. There was also a stone table with a few pots of fine wine on it, waiting for guests to come to a banquet. In addition, all kinds of treasures floated about a chaotic realm, exuding a monstrous aura.

It was a vast and boundless landscape.

“This…” After seeing these images, Shen Fei’s heart was in turmoil. At this moment, he was high in the sky, and below him was a bottomless abyss.

The abyss was shrouded in clouds of mist, like a whirlpool that threatened to crush everything. At the bottom of the abyss, there were many pythons. They flicked their tongues and their eyes were deep red.

“This looks like a place only high-tier Beastmasters can set foot in…” Shen Fei muttered.

His eyes narrowed as he looked around. In this place, one’s divine sense could not spread too far. The only thing that Shen Fei was sure of were those treasures. Those things were very powerful, and they were the dream items of any high-level beast tamer.

“Since I’m here, I’d like to see how many rare treasures there are!” Shen Fei grinned to himself. He seemed very excited.

Suddenly, a voice reverberated through the void, “Kid, what are you looking for?”

Shen Fei followed the voice, only to see a young man slowly walking over from one end of the void.

It was a green-robed man. He had a delicate appearance, fair skin, arched eyebrows, and a scholarly air. He held a folding fan in his hand and wore a jade belt around his waist. This man looked like an elegant young master, and Shen Fei could not help but take a few more glances at him.

It was obvious that this person was a high-tier Beastmaster. His strength was probably about the same as Wang Yufei. From his robes, Shen Fei could vaguely identify him.

This was a high-tier Beastmaster named Nangong Yuze. In the northern region, he was quite famous. There were even rumors that he had once stepped into the Forbidden Nine Netherworlds and walked out alive.

Back then, many Beastmasters had regarded him as their idol.

“Sir, may I ask where this place is?” Although he knew the origin of this person, Shen Fei did not show it. After all, he had snuck in this time. If he was recognized, it would be troublesome. So, Shen Fei had cupped his hands before him and asked his question in a curious tone.

After hearing Shen Fei’s words, Nangong Yuze smiled and said, “This is a treasured land of cultivation. It’s a place left behind for my clan’s ancestors to find strange beasts. Could it be that you want to challenge a high-tier exotic beast?

“However, I advise you not to think about such things, because it is too difficult. The exotic beasts here have all reached the Emperor-rank, and even I don’t dare to provoke them easily!”

Nangong Yuze seemed to have good intentions toward Shen Fei.

“So that’s how it is. In that case, this place is a trial ground for high-tier Beastmasters.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei came to a shocking realization, and he could not help but raise his head to look at the area.

Strange lights flickered there, and all kinds of strange phenomena erupted. They were all kinds of legendary beasts: true dragons, phoenixes, Qilins, and other ferocious birds.

There were even flames rising up and burning the sky.

“It’s said that this was formed from the shedded skin of one of our clan’s powerhouses who had fallen. Countless strange beasts are born here, and some of them are very powerful.”

At the mention of this area, Nangong Yuze’s face became serious.

“It seems the academy sent someone to complete the assessment.” Nangong Yuze looked at Shen Fei and smiled as he spoke.

Hearing this, Shen Fei did not explain his intentions but instead said, “Since there are so many strange beasts here, I’d assumed that there would be high rank spirit beasts here. Not only that, I also heard that there’s a powerful spirit beast guarding this area.”

If he could bring back the strongest spirit beast here to the principal, then his mission this time would be complete, not to mention his five million low-grade origin crystals.

Thinking up to this point, Shen Fei’s eyes immediately brightened with excitement at the prospect of not only taking down the strongest spirit beast here, but also at the massive reward he would get.

Nangong Yuze stepped forward. “Come with me.” He shuttled through the void and approached the area where the prize was. “That’s the area where the spirit beast lives.”

Finally, after a long while, an area appeared in front of Shen Fei.

This place was filled with dense mist, making it impossible to see beyond ten meters. However, one could vaguely see a lotus flower growing in the space within the mist.

The lotus leaves swayed and emitted a jade green radiance. As the lotus bloomed, a faint fragrance assailed his nose. It was enticing enough to make ordinary people drool.

“Is that the lotus emperor grass?” Shen Fei’s eyes were burning as he stared at the lotus in front of him.

Suddenly, he had an idea. He discovered that there were arrays flickering at the edge of this area.

“Could it be a restriction to prevent spirit beasts from escaping?”

The wheels in Shen Fei’s mind turned, and he could not help but hold his breath. Then, under his gaze, the mist wriggled and gradually dissipated… revealing a huge creature.

It was an Snapping Croc-turtle, and it was twenty meters long. It had a pair of wings on its back, and its entire body was pitch-black like a piece of black metal. It looked incredibly tough, and symbols flowed across its surface, intertwining into a net that enveloped the entire area and sealed it off.

That Snapping Croc-turtle was the guardian spirit beast of this area.

It opened its eyes, and its gaze was cold and disdainful as it looked in all directions. A brutal aura swept out from it.

Seeing this, Shen Fei grinned at Nangong Yuze. “Leave it to me; I want this spirit beast.”

“Uh…” Hearing this, Nangong Yuze was surprised, and he stared at Shen Fei with a dumbstruck expression.

He had thought that the young man in front of him was only here to observe the phenomenon of this realm. Who would have thought that he would have ideas about taming the Snapping Croc-turtle?

Nangong Yuze laughed and said, “Haha, you want it? Do you know that this Snapping Croc-turtle’s cultivation is comparable to an Emperor-tier Beastmaster?”

“Comparable to an Emperor-tier?” Shen Fei said unhurriedly, as if he did not regard the Snapping Croc-turtle very highly.

“Is this guy’s brain damaged?” Nangong Yuze’s face was full of surprise.

From his point of view, Shen Fei simply did not know the immensity of the heavens and earth.
