CHAPTER 834: CLOUD BEAST TAMING

Meng Zhang glanced at Wei Wuxian with a kind ex

Meng Zhang glanced at Wei Wuxian with a kind expression. Encouraged, Wei Wuxian came over to greet Meng Zhang.

As it turned out, she had come to invite Meng Zhang to see the latest achievements in taming cloud beasts at the Beast Controlling Hall.

Wei Wuxian was one of the youngest elders in the sect and also the Hall Master of the Beast Controlling Hall, responsible for overseeing all matters related to taming spiritual beasts.

Many years ago, Meng Zhang had entered the Nine Heavens and witnessed various strange cloud beasts. At that time, he had a whimsical idea of attempting to tame them at the Beast Controlling Hall.

Cloud beasts lived above the Nine Heavens, and due to their unique living environment, their growth process was different from the demonic beasts on the land, fundamentally distinct.

Taming cloud beasts was an entirely different challenge compared to taming demonic beasts.

Hu Jing, as one of the most skilled experts in beast-taming within the sect, showed great interest in taming cloud beasts. Especially after she suffered serious injuries and her cultivation foundation was destroyed, she devoted countless efforts and energies to taming them, treating it as some kind of reliance.

Cloud beasts had unique abilities and enormous potential. If they could be tamed, it would be of great significance to the entire Taiyi Sect.

Due to the special nature of cloud beasts, taming them was an extremely difficult task.

In the Cultivation World, many sects had tried to tame cloud beasts. Some were renowned for their beast-taming abilities, far surpassing the Taiyi Sect in this aspect.

Over the years, Meng Zhang had never heard of any sect successfully taming cloud beasts. Of course, it was possible that he was not well-informed enough or that some sect had succeeded but kept it a secret.

Regardless, in the eyes of many, taming cloud beasts was an almost impossible feat.

In the past, Meng Zhang had a friendly exchange with Elder Beast Fury of the Beast King Mountain, and they had shared some knowledge.

Elder Beast Fury wanted to befriend Meng Zhang and was willing to share non-confidential matters.

Elder Beast Fury once proudly claimed that when it came to beast-taming, Jiuqu League, Crossing Severing Mountain Range, and even the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle could not compare to Beast King Mountain.

Although Dali Dynasty had absorbed many sects and collected countless heritage and talents from various fields, they might be dominant in other aspects, but when it came to beast-taming, they might not be as good as Beast King Mountain.

Yet, even Beast King Mountain with such strong beast-taming abilities had no precedent for large-scale taming of cloud beasts.

According to Elder Beast Fury, throughout the history of Beast King Mountain, at most, a few individuals were able to tame a small number of cloud beasts, but no one had ever succeeded in large-scale taming and cultivation of cloud beasts.

At that time, Meng Zhang believed in Elder Beast Fury's words.

The high difficulty of taming cloud beasts was evident from the numerous failures of Taiyi Sect in the past.

Even during its heyday, Taiyi Sect was not a dominant sect in the field of beast-taming. The techniques passed down within the sect were only slightly better than ordinary ones, barely usable.

Moreover, the current Taiyi Sect had not fully received all the heritages and had lost many of them.

Hu Jing herself, besides inheriting the Taiyi Sect's legacy, had also experienced some adventures outside and gained some heritages.

In addition, during Taiyi Sect's process of external conquest, they had seized many classics, including some related to beast-taming.

Hu Jing had a high talent in beast-taming and was able to draw on the strengths of many schools.

After years of practice and summarization, she had developed her own unique style.

With Meng Zhang's approval, Taiyi Sect had invested a lot of resources into taming cloud beasts.

One reason was that if they succeeded, it would indeed be profitable and of great significance to the sect.Furthermore, Meng Zhang believed in Hu Jing's abilities. Especially after Hu Jing's injury, Meng Zhang felt the need to compensate her in some way.

Anyway, with the vast resources and capabilities of the Taiyi Sect, they could afford such investments.

Over the years, Meng Zhang had not paid much attention to the specific situation of taming cloud beasts. He had only heard occasionally that the taming process seemed to be very difficult.

Meng Zhang had never harbored great hopes for taming success; he simply wanted to give Hu Jing something to do and help her relax.

In the past, Meng Zhang had not been in the right mood and was still immersed in grief over the death of someone close, so he had not paid much attention to this matter.

Wei Wuxian had received orders from Hu Jing long ago to make sure that Meng Zhang witnessed the achievements they had made over the years.

In the past, when Meng Zhang visited Hu Jing, she had spoken highly of Wei Wuxian, her closed-door disciple.

Just now, Hu Jing attributed the main credit for the successful taming of cloud beasts to Wei Wuxian.

Meng Zhang was also curious to see the results they had achieved over the years and find out if Wei Wuxian was as excellent as Hu Jing claimed.

Wei Wuxian led Meng Zhang to a secluded corner of Hundred Grass Slope.

This place used to be a small valley, but later, Hu Jing invested a lot of resources to transform it into a specialized beast-taming field for cloud beasts.

Defensive formations were arranged around the beast-taming field to prevent the cloud beasts from escaping.

As soon as Meng Zhang arrived here, he was captivated by the sight of the beast-taming field.

The beast-taming field covered a large area, surrounded by layers of light membranes acting as barriers.

Inside the beast-taming field, there were wavy light screens that divided the area into separate spaces.

Among the many independent spaces, thick clouds pervaded, and various cloud beasts with different forms and sizes roamed within the clouds.

After receiving Hu Jing's instructions, Meng Zhang had gone to the Nine Heavens whenever he had the opportunity and captured a batch of cloud beasts to bring back for her to tame.

When capturing cloud beasts, Meng Zhang deliberately chose young cloud beast cubs and some with a relatively gentle temperament.

Cloud beasts came in various species, each with unique abilities that even made Meng Zhang somewhat envious.

In fact, the Taiyi Sect had always had a tradition of taming demonic beasts.

The main task of the Beast Controlling Hall in the sect was to tame various demonic beasts.

On the vast Demon Wind Gobi, there were still many demonic beast populations that were deliberately allowed to thrive by the Taiyi Sect.

Once demonic beasts were tamed by cultivators, they became spiritual beasts and served the cultivators.

The taming of demonic beasts in Taiyi Sect was the foundation laid by Hu Jing and the situation she had created.

Even when Hu Jing later shifted her main focus to taming cloud beasts, the main efforts of most other beast-taming experts in the sect remained on taming demonic beasts.

After witnessing cloud beasts, Hu Jing keenly realized that taming them held more potential and had a greater impact than taming demonic beasts.

Moreover, this was a challenge that no one had succeeded in before, which greatly ignited her ambition.

Now, what was presented before Meng Zhang was the result of Hu Jing's efforts over the years.
