Chapter 267: Chapter 260: Beast God Tree Forbidden Land

The Spirit Beasts inside the Spirit Garden were in an uproar again.

The abilities of either tower, whether the Time Cultivation Tower or the Super Reproduction Tower, held an immense appeal for them.

The Super Reproduction Tower was only useful for pregnant Spirit Beasts.

So, most of the Pet Beasts ran toward the Time Cultivation Tower.

’The first floor of the Time Cultivation Tower doesn’t require any Spirit Stones. It can maintain twice the normal cultivation speed just by absorbing the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Garden.’

’If I want to achieve higher cultivation speeds, I’ll have to invest Spirit Stones to activate the upper floors.’

Jiang Zuo immediately checked the effects of the two Miracle Buildings.

Several Pet Beasts had already settled into the Super Reproduction Tower, but the specific effects wouldn’t be known until their offspring were born.

The Time Cultivation Tower, however, required Jiang Zuo to configure its settings.

The Time Cultivation Tower was divided into nine floors. Each floor added another multiple to the cultivation speed, making the ninth floor a full ten times the normal speed.

But the Spirit Stone consumption was also astonishing.

Take the ninth floor, for example. At ten times the cultivation speed, the rate of Spirit Stone consumption was a hundred times the normal rate.

And this was just the amount of Spirit Stones consumed at the normal flow of time.

The Time Cultivation Tower could also adjust the flow of time within it, with the maximum time acceleration also being ten times.

Ten years of Cultivation inside the tower would be equivalent to only one year passing in the outside world.

If one were to use the ninth floor and activate the tenfold time acceleration, the cultivation speed would effectively be a hundred times the normal rate.

However, the tenfold time acceleration also multiplied Spirit Stone consumption by a hundred.

In other words, at one hundred times the cultivation speed, the amount of Spirit Stones consumed was ten thousand times the normal amount!

’I have over two million low-grade Spirit Stones and over one hundred thousand mid-grade ones. At a hundredfold speed, that’s probably only enough to sustain one Spirit Beast’s training for two or three years.’

Jiang Zuo did some quick math and couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

What seemed like a huge amount of Spirit Stones was nowhere near enough.

’Forget it. I’ll just keep the first floor open year-round. But it can only accommodate a thousand Spirit Beasts at once, so it won’t take long before it’s overcrowded.’

’Hmm... In that case, I’ll set a rule. Every month, the thirty strongest Pet Beasts outside the tower can choose to challenge one of the Pet Beasts inside. The winner stays, and the loser has to wait at least a year before they can challenge again.’

’Once the Sky Fighting Arena is built, the rankings there will determine who gets a spot.’

’I’ll open the second floor as well, but only a few select Pet Beasts with my permission will be allowed inside.’

’In the future, I can use cultivation time on the higher floors as a reward.’

Jiang Zuo quickly made his decision.

The hundredfold cultivation speed was exhilarating just to think about. Jiang Zuo wished he could just toss Great Black, Xiaoqing, and the Fire Phoenix into the ninth floor.

But with his limited funds, he could only open up to the third floor for now and let some of the Tier 4 Pet Beasts go in to cultivate slowly.

Great Black, however, had his own ideas.

He took a look around the Cultivation Tower but wasn’t very interested in it.

Instead, the Super Reproduction Tower gave him an idea.

Ever since the Bloodline Evolution Tower appeared, Great Black had thought about simply siring a bunch of offspring.

That way, just like other clans, he might have a chance at bloodline evolution.

However, Great Black knew very well that his journey to this point had been incredibly difficult, made possible only by numerous fortuitous opportunities.

It would be nearly impossible for his offspring to possess the same bloodline as him.

And if they just had an ordinary black dog’s bloodline, throwing them into the Bloodline Evolution Tower would be meaningless.

But the appearance of the Super Reproduction Tower made Great Black’s idea seem possible.

If he could just find a female dog with an equally extraordinary bloodline, the offspring they produced in the Super Reproduction Tower would surely have a powerful bloodline as well.

There was no such female dog in the Pet Beast Spirit Garden.

However, Great Black did have a good candidate for a mate in mind.

The Pale Moon Ice Wolf!

The Pale Moon Ice Wolf was female, her Cultivation was almost at the Perfection of Tier 4, and her bloodline was definitely not bad.

Great Black was a beast of action. He immediately trotted off eagerly to find the Pale Moon Ice Wolf.

After the Pale Moon Ice Wolf heard Great Black’s proposition, she looked him up and down a few times.

As far as big dogs went, Great Black was undoubtedly extraordinarily handsome.

Unfortunately, in the Pale Moon Ice Wolf’s eyes, a dog was a dog, and a wolf was a wolf.

The Pale Moon Ice Wolf turned her head away, rejecting Great Black’s proposal.

’She thinks I’m ugly?’

Great Black was crushed.

’No!’

’That she-wolf just has no taste!’

’A black dog as handsome and dashing as me? You’d be hard-pressed to find another one in the entire world!’

’Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west...’

’Wait, why am I thinking of that line from Master’s *Cat Cat Cultivation Chronicles*?’

’Forget it! I’ll go ask Master to find me a mate!’

Great Black quickly put the Pale Moon Ice Wolf’s rejection out of his mind and trotted off eagerly to find Jiang Zuo.

’So this guy’s finally thinking about having offspring.’

Jiang Zuo was a little speechless after hearing what Great Black had to say.

It seemed the allure of the Miracle Buildings was truly extraordinary; even Great Black couldn’t resist making a move.

’Next, I’ll make some appearances at Marketplaces along the way, and then head to the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land!’

After refining the Tier 4 Profound Ice Spirit Fire, Jiang Zuo could now cultivate normally at the early stage of the Three Flowers Realm, and even into the middle stage.

Jiang Zuo immediately prepared to head to the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land.

The Beast God Tree Forbidden Land was one of the most famous Forbidden Lands in the Cultivation Realm.

The Beast God Tree Forbidden Land wasn’t difficult to find; any Cultivator could travel there if they wished.

And compared to other Forbidden Lands, the danger wasn’t great as long as one merely entered the periphery and didn’t venture too deep.

It was called the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land because an astonishingly huge, ancient tree grew in its very center.

It was said that this Divine Tree’s canopy covered the entire Forbidden Land.

And around the Divine Tree, there existed many special rules.

One such rule was that within the area covered by the Divine Tree, a Cultivator’s Spiritual Power would be suppressed, while Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts would be greatly enhanced.

This was the origin of the name ’Beast God Tree Forbidden Land’.

For this reason, most Cultivators who traveled to the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land brought powerful Spirit Beasts with them.

Jiang Zuo planned to start at the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land to truly begin building a reputation for his new identity.

To cultivate the identity of a Beast Taming Master, Spirit Beasts were, of course, indispensable.

Neither Xiaoqing nor the Fire Phoenix were suitable for public appearances.

The Fire Phoenix, needless to say, was far too conspicuous.

As for Xiaoqing, she had built up quite a reputation at the Black Tortoise Dao Sect, so if Jiang Zuo brought her along, people would easily make the connection.

So, the task naturally fell to Great Black.

As a Spirit Beast who had evolved and mutated from an ordinary large black dog, Great Black was perfectly suited to showcase Jiang Zuo’s Beast Taming prowess.

Great Black hadn’t made many public appearances at the Black Tortoise Dao Sect. Back then, he was only at Tier 3 Cultivation. Now that he was at the middle stage of Tier 4, no one would connect this Great Black to the one from the Black Tortoise Dao Sect.

And so, Jiang Zuo took Great Black and began the journey toward the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land.

Whenever they came across a Marketplace along the way, he would stay for a few days under the guise of a Beast Tamer and help people treat their Spirit Beasts’ ailments.

And so, they traveled on, stopping here and there.

A little over a year passed, and Jiang Zuo was no longer far from the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land.

One day, Jiang Zuo entered another Cultivation Marketplace.

Suddenly, the eyes of Great Black, who was trotting beside Jiang Zuo, lit up.

Up ahead was a very beautiful, large white dog, whose Cultivation also appeared to be at the early stage of Tier 4.
