Beast Herder Cao Fengqi

The hidden underground chamber of the House of Hunting.

Cao Fengqi looked at the diary in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.

The forbidden path is clearly a dangerous one, filled with the unknown, the unpredictable, and calamities; it is not a normal path to transcendence.

Cao Fengqi has a cheat code; even if he doesn't take this path, he is confident that he will reach the pinnacle of the Transcendent Sequence professions in the future.

"But..."

"The Lost Land were once incredibly brilliant and glorious, with a history hundreds or thousands of times longer than that of Blue Star. Many beings here must have stood at the pinnacle of Transcendent Sequence professions, but this world has become what it is today."

"Perhaps it's not that the members of the Forbidden Secret Covenant Society have gone mad, but that they've despaired in the face of the evil god and have no choice but to forge a new path."

"The apocalypse on Blue Star has only just begun; nobody knows what will happen next."

"If the cheat can eliminate the negative effects of the forbidden path, I can try to walk it. If not, I'll just give up; there's no need to take the risk."

Cao Fengqi considered himself a relatively stable person.

He would never do anything unless he was 80% certain.

"So---"

Cao Fengqi took out the Transcendent Sequence Rune of the Beast Shepherd and immediately decided. "I will step into the Beast Shepherd Sequence, taming evil spirits to fight against evil spirits, and driving evil beasts to fight against evil beasts."

If there are unstable factors on this extraordinary path, I won't feel bad about giving it up.

With that thought in mind, he put the Beast Shepherd's Transcendent Sequence Rune directly into his mouth.

"Buzz---"

"Boom----"

"By binding the souls of all beasts, by shepherding the spirits with the heart, one can borrow the great power of the beasts' bodies and the extraordinary power of their souls."

"To resonate and coexist with one's soul; to wield the might of celestial beasts."

"Beast Contract, Spirit Taming, Herding Beasts, Roaring in the Wild..."

A scene similar to that of Spirit Forger appeared: in Cao Fengqi's sea of consciousness, next to the Extraordinary Emberfire Core, a gray Herding Fire Core a grain of rice appeared.

Voices echoed in his mind, and gray flames emerged from his body.

A deluge of information flooded in, and he quietly accepted the inheritance of the Beast Shepherd Sequence Runes.

Quietly experience this extraordinary profession!

"Beast Shepherd Sequence: Beast Pact Master".

"The Soul-Guiding Herding Fire Kindling Art"

"Beast Pact Master skill proficiency: 0%."

As time quietly passed, Cao Fengqi gradually absorbed the entire inheritance of the Transcendent Sequence Rune.

"Herding Fire?"

Cao Fengqi moved his hand, and the Transcendent Herding Fire appeared in his palm.

Unlike Emberfire, the light of the Herding Fire is very gentle, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

It caused no harm.

[Cao Fengqi.]

[Transcendent Sequence: Artifact Refiner Sequence, Beast Shepherd Sequence] (Open to view details)

[Constitution: 229]

[Mental Strength: 96]

Cao Fengqi's mind stirred, and he checked his own attributes.

"Physical constitution increased by 15 points, and mental strength also increased by 15 points. This means the basic improvement for Beast Shepherd is slightly higher than that of Spirit Forger."

He murmured to himself, "The Beast Shepherd Sequence belongs to the combat Transcendent Sequence."

[Skill Proficiency Cheat detected that the host has mastered the Beast Pact Master's Transcendent Sequence Skills. Instantly max out the level?]

The notification from the cheat program came through, Cao Fengqi smiled slightly.

It's here!

[The Skill Proficiency Cheat has completed the upgrade of the host's extraordinary skills. Some skills have been upgraded to the professional limit, while the proficiency of some skills cannot be further improved due to the host's insufficient strength.]

"Huh, some skills have been upgraded to the professional limit?"

Cao Fengqi was slightly surprised when he saw this information. Feeling the vast amount of information in his mind, he opened the Beast Shepherd Sequence Information.

[Transcendent Sequence: Beast Shepherd Class]

[Rank: Beast Pact Master (0%)]

[Transcendent Cultivation Method: The Soul-Guiding Herding Fire Kindling Art]

[Exceptional Skill 1, Beast Herding Heart (Professional Limit)]

[Skill 2, Beast Contracting Method (Beast Pact Master 9th Dan Perfection)]

Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the Beast Pact Master's two extraordinary skills.

His Beast Herding Heart and the Beast Taming Art have reached the pinnacle of his profession, and his Beast Contracting Method have reached the perfect level of Beast Pact Master 9.

"Simply put, the Beast Herding Heart is using mental power and the Herding Fire to communicate with all beasts and issue commands to one's battle pets. When the Beast Herding Heart reaches its professional limit, it is equivalent to mastering the language of all beasts, and with the blessing of the Herding Fire, all beasts will have a favorable impression of you."

"Even with evil beasts, I can talk to them for a few seconds and prevent them from attacking me for a few seconds. If there are other people around, I can even use the Beast Herding Heart to prevent evil spirits and beasts from attacking me for a short time."

"The Beast Contracting Method involves constructing contracts within the Herding Fire Core. Beast Pact Master can contract a maximum of nine different beasts."

Cao Fengqi looked at the information in his mind and muttered to himself.

The two skills seem simple, but in reality, they are incredibly difficult.

Taking the Beast Herding Heart as a simple example, the mental fluctuations of each kind of beast are different, and the information they convey is also different.

This can be understood as dogs having their own language, and cats having their own language.

He essentially learned the languages of all beasts directly.

Once one reaches the limits of their profession, even when encountering unknown beasts or evil creatures, they can directly understand the information released by them based on soul fluctuations and respond accordingly.

Secondly, the Beast Herding Heart also contains information on how to command and control mythical beasts.

Simply put, this is a complex and profound discipline involving both the language of the soul and the discipline of animal training.

The strength of Beast Herder Transcendent Sequence hinges on their battle pet.

"But according to the diary's recorder, after the evil god and evil energy invaded, the path to transcendence for Beast Shepherd narrowed. Simply put, a large number of beasts were corrupted by the evil energy and could no longer be contracted, and there were relatively few beasts that were not invaded by the evil energy."

"Then, controlling evil beasts and spirits is indeed a Perfect choice."

Cao Fengqi's gaze fell on the diary, where a method for controlling evil beasts was recorded.

Based on his knowledge of Beast Shepherd, he quickly mastered it.

[The Skill Proficiency Cheat has detected that the host has mastered the Evil Herding Method. Instantly max out the skill level? Remove negative effects from the skill?]

The next second, the cheat notification came again.

[Skill 3, Evil Herding Art (Limit)]

Upon seeing Cao Fengqi's eyes lit up with excitement. "It really works!"

"The negative effects are gone. This forbidden path really suits me, haha."

He laughed and looked at the information about the Evil Herding Art.

[The Evil Herding Art: A method within the Evil Herding Method that severs the soul of an evil beast, drawing its soul into the Herding Fire Core to establish a soul connection. Using mental power, one suppresses and controls the beast's evil energy. Warning: The evil beast's soul carries the will of an evil god and will corrupt your Herding Fire Core. Strong mental power is required to resist or guide it.]

This is a hint from the diary regarding the Evil Herding Art.

Now that the negative effects of skills have been removed:

[Evil Herding: Using the Evil Herding technique to sever the souls of evil beasts, the souls of the evil beasts are drawn into the Herding Fire Core, establishing a soul connection with the evil beast, eliminating its evil energy and the evil divine will within its soul, thus allowing the user to control it.]

"This cheat code of mine makes no sense."

Cao Fengqi watched and couldn't help but laugh.

With a sudden thought, he went straight back to his room in the shelter and took out the evil beast egg.

Cao Fengqi then took out some Mystic Devouring Beast meat from the World Medal and placed it underneath, making it submerged.

[Hatching successful two hours later.]

A message arrived.
