Subduing

Like other Totem Secret Method, the Death Beast Seal kills a wild beast and extracts its life essence to merge into oneself. Yi Yun used the Death Beast Seal to condense Dharma Aspect Totem after killing the Golden Crow Remnant.

In fact, among the fragments of the "Myriad Beast Catalog" possessed by the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, only the usage of the Death Beast Seal is described.

After obtaining the complete <Myriad Beast Catalog> in the God Descending Tower, Yi Yun discovered another method for condensing beast seals, which is the -- Living Beast Seal.

Without killing the wild beast, condense it into Living Beast Seal. In this way, the entire Divine Soul and life force of the wild beast will be integrated into one's own body.

In a sense, this is similar to a contracted beast. After a beast tamer tames a Spiritual Beast, he can sign a contract with it, take the Spiritual Beast into his body, and summon the contracted beast to fight when necessary.

The difference between the Living Beast Seal and the Contracted Beast is that the refined wild beast can no longer return to its wild beast form. It has actually become another form of life, just like Artifact Spirit or a sword soul.

Once the Living Beast Seal merges into the refiner's body, the refiner can gain many benefits. He can absorb the power of the wild beast itself and a small amount of law attributes. Moreover, the refiner can continuously nurture the wild beast that has transformed into the Living Beast Seal.

As the wild beasts grow stronger, the cultivators' own strength will also increase.

The Living Beast Seal is far more beneficial than the Death Beast Seal, but correspondingly, there is a limit to the number of Living Beast Seal that can be formed.

The Death Beast Seal can be formed by hunting down tens of thousands of Ancient Remnant Species, resulting in thousands upon thousands of Death Beast Seal.

As for the Living Beast Seal, those who cultivate the <Myriad Beast Catalog> can only condense three in their lifetime.

Upon initial mastery of the <Myriad Beast Catalog> secret technique, one can condense one; upon mastery of the <Myriad Beast Catalog> great technique, one can condense a second; and upon perfect mastery, one can condense a third.

The "Myriad Beast Catalog" is an extremely profound set of Totem Secret Method, and mastering it to perfection is no easy feat.

Therefore, every share of the Living Beast Seal is extremely precious to Yi Yun.

Yi Yun's choice of Jiuying was also a well-considered one.

The young Nine-Headed Serpent may not be powerful, but its potential for growth is enormous.

If the Nine-Headed Beast Seal within me were to survive all nine Heavenly Tribulations, it would grow to an extremely terrifying level!

However, cultivating a Nine Tribulation Nine Infant is extremely difficult. Even in the Yang God Emperor Heaven, it is unlikely that anyone would attempt such a feat. It would come at a tremendous cost, and even the powerful beings of the Yang God Emperor Heaven would find it difficult to accomplish.

However... for Yi Yun, it's all up to him.

With perseverance, good fortune, and hard work, even an ordinary person can grow into an unparalleled Great Emperor.

Moreover, Yi Yun also possesses the Origin Purple Crystal.

The Nine-Headed Serpent has great potential for growth, which is enough for Yi Yun.

"Nine-Headed Serpent!" Yi Yun stood in front of the central head of the Nine-Headed Serpent, which lay prostrate on the ground with three eyes staring at Yi Yun.

"You were born in the Tianyuan Realm, where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and earth is barren, and rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are extremely scarce. It is almost impossible for you to survive the Heavenly Tribulation!"

Jiuying doesn't understand human speech, but through communicating with Yi Yun using divine sense, it understands Yi Yun's meaning.

Although it was unwilling, it had to admit that the human was right.

Trapped in the Tianyuan Realm, it's like a koi carp in a shallow bay, unable to transform into a divine dragon.

"Your tribulation is imminent, and you are almost certain to die. You are the Nine-headed Serpent King who has awakened the bloodline of your ancestors. Are you willing to simply vanish into nothingness?"

Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Jiuying became agitated, writhing its weak body and experiencing violent emotional fluctuations.

Yi Yun's words struck a chord with Jiu Ying's resentment.

As the king of Nine-headed Serpent, he should have been showered with glory and honor, and be known as the king of his race.

But now, its bloodline has become a calamity. The Nine-Headed Serpent, unable to grow up, is even weaker than an ordinary Nine-headed Serpent and has no status within the Nine-headed Serpent clan.

How could a king be content to be reduced to a lowly beast?

"I'll give you two choices: either I kill you and refine you into the Death Beast Seal, making you my second Dharma Aspect Totem; or you submit to me, and I will refine you into the Living Beast Seal, where you will live in the form of the Beast of Life."

"At that time, I will nurture you, helping you overcome tribulations time and time again, making you stronger and stronger. You may lose your dignity and freedom, but you will live on, and may even become the Nine Tribulation Nine Infant!"

"You can leave the Tianyuan Realm, travel through the universe, see more scenery, see a wider world, witness tens of millions of years of historical changes, and become a pinnacle existence in the world!"

Yi Yun described his vision for the future, which was his promise to Jiu Ying and the goal he had set for himself.

Jiuying fell silent. Everything Yi Yun had said was exactly what it longed for.

Yi Yun was not in a hurry. He stayed by Jiu Ying's side, silently waiting for the outcome.

Nineteen eyes of the Nine-Headed Serpent opened at once, and nineteen gazes fell on Yi Yun. It seemed to be judging whether this human could really create miracles as he said.

Although Jiuying had not had much contact with humans, it could still tell that the human in front of it indeed possessed terrifying talent and potential.

After a long while, Yi Yun sensed that the hostility in Jiuying's divine sense had disappeared.

Yi Yun knew that this meant Jiu Ying had agreed, even if it was unwilling, it was the best and only option.

Some wild beasts would rather choose dignity than give up their lives.

However, Jiuying wouldn't, not because it was afraid of death, but because it... was unwilling to accept it!!

It was unwilling to accept that it was born with a powerful bloodline, yet died in silence.

Seeing that Jiuying agreed, Yi Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had already decided that even if Jiuying disagreed, he would still refine Jiuying into Living Beast Seal, the effect of doing so would be far less than if Jiuying agreed on its own.

After all, nurturing the Nine-Headed Serpent requires its cooperation.

He adjusted his mind and formed one hand seal after another, enveloping Jiuying's body.

These hand seals slowly condensed on Jiuying's body, deeply imprinting themselves and forming one profound Dao patterns after another.

More and more Dao patterns appeared, covering Jiuying's entire body. Finally, Jiuying's body emitted a crimson-gold light.

Within the light, its size gradually shrank until it was the size of an infant's palm, then it disappeared directly into Yi Yun's body.

Then, a beautiful Nine-headed Serpent tattoo appeared on Yi Yun's arm.

The Living Beast Seal is complete!

The instant the Nine-Headed Beast Seal merged into his body, Yi Yun felt his blood and qi surge as if boiling. Yi Yun streams of power poured into his body, transforming his physical form. The seeds of laws hidden within his primordial foundation seemed to be stirring due to this power, showing a slow, even budding, tendency to sprout! (To be continued~^~)
