"Boss Azure Serpent … has acknowledged you as its master?"
The surroundings fell completely silent.
The Celestial Inferno Phoenix, Terra Qilin, and Netherworld Blacktortoise were all dumbfounded.
They were well aware of Boss Azure Serpent's willpower, and yet, the other party was already kneeling on the ground without the slightest bit of dignity.
What in the world was going on?
They weren't the only ones who were dumbfounded. Even Wu Changping felt like he was going insane.
In order to tame the Goldspirit Cloudtiger, he had spent a great deal of effort, promising innumerable treasures, and even sacrificed a Great Sage artifact. Yet, not only had he failed to obtain anything, he had even been captured by the other party …
Yet, this fellow actually tamed the Goldspirit Cloudtiger in just a few minutes, and with just a few words, he had the Heavenwood Greenserpent kneeling on the ground, not daring to refute his words.
Was there a need to be so exaggerated?
"Offer your blood!"
Zhang Xuan said with a faint smile.
As long as one had the Dragon Bloodline in them, the Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragons was the most lethal weapon.
No matter how powerful the Heavenwood Greenserpent was, it still wouldn't be able to escape from the Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragons. It was due to this that Zhang Xuan decided to make a bet with it.
It wasn't that the other party fell for it easily, but no one could have imagined that an ordinary human would be able to speak the language of a Pureblooded Dragon.
More importantly, it didn't expect an Aureate Body realm cultivator to have so many tricks up his sleeves. Even experts of their caliber were caught off guard.
Even so, the Heavenwood Greenserpent still had no choice but to offer its blood essence.
After signing the contract, Zhang Xuan turned to the three remaining beasts and said, "It's your turn now. I've won the bet by making the Heavenwood Greenserpent submit to me. However, this is just an ordinary bet. I didn't swear an oath to the heavens, and I didn't use any special means either. If you don't abide by it …"
"We have the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Beasts burning in our veins. How can we go back on our words?"
"So what if we lose? Since Boss Azure Serpent has acknowledged you, it's fine for us to acknowledge you as our master."
"I hope that you won't force us to do something that goes against our morals …"
…
The Terra Qilin, Celestial Inferno Phoenix, and Netherworld Blacktortoise nodded helplessly, but in the end, they still still still chose to offer their blood.
Zhang Xuan was Greenserpent's master, so it wasn't embarrassing for them to acknowledge him as their master.
Not to mention, he possessed the bloodline of a divine beast, and he had survived in the Temple of Confucius. He could not possibly go back on his word.
"This is even simpler …"
Seeing that they had abided by the agreement, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
In truth, with the Heavenwood Greenserpent and Goldspirit Cloudtiger by his side, even if the other three beasts were unwilling to submit to him, he would still be able to force them to submit to him.
"All of you have submitted to me. As your master, I can't be stingy!"
After subduing all of the Goldspirit Cloudtigers, Zhang Xuan scanned his surroundings and said, "The Goldspirit Cloudtiger is of the metal attribute. While metal is more suited for offense, its defensive prowess is significantly weaker. More importantly, even though you possess immense energy, you aren't adept at utilizing it. That's why I was able to take advantage of you. Now, I will tell you a few flaws. If you correct them slightly, your strength will definitely increase! "
After which, Zhang Xuan explained the flaws in the other party's body, as well as the methods to correct them.
Through the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan had already found the flaws in the Goldspirit Cloudtiger earlier. Using his experience in beast taming, it was not too difficult for him to find a way to correct them.
Following Zhang Xuan's instructions, the Goldspirit Cloudtiger felt its fighting prowess rising significantly. Its eyes lit up in excitement as it kowtowed to Zhang Xuan once more.
If the Goldspirit Cloudtiger had been beaten up previously and coerced by Zhang Xuan, at this very moment, it was truly in awe of Zhang Xuan.
After which, Zhang Xuan proceeded to offer the remaining beasts some pointers, and they could feel a significant improvement in their cultivation. Excitement and gratitude filled their eyes.
After reaching Sempiternal realm consummation, they had thought that it would be impossible for them to advance any further unless there was a significant change in their bloodline. Who could have thought that there was still room for improvement?
Following Zhang Xuan's instructions, they might even be able to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage!
To them, this was much more attractive than becoming the ruler of a bunch of beasts.
"Master, what should we do with them?"
The Heavenwood Greenserpent asked as it pointed to Wu Changping and the others.
"They were disrespectful to the Goldspirit Cloudtiger. While their actions were inappropriate, they are still humans, so their crimes don't warrant death. Just pay them some compensation and release them!"
Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand.
If not for them leading the way, he would have been surrounded by the Five Great Beasts as well, and things wouldn't have come to this.
However, the Goldspirit Cloudtiger had once harbored killing intent toward him, and they had even attacked his tamed beasts. If he were to release them now, he wouldn't be able to answer to the Goldspirit Cloudtiger.
"Yes!"
Seeing that their master wasn't such a benevolent person, the beasts heaved a sigh of relief.
From the looks of it, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage if they followed him.
Under the pressure of the five sacred beasts, Wu Changping and the others had no choice but to hand in all the treasures they had collected during this period of time, as well as the level-nine medicinal pills and magical treasures they had on them. Only then were they able to escape.
"You can take them. I'll leave it to you to decide how to distribute them. Also, if you perform well, I'll bestow the Great Sage artifacts in my possession to you! "
Zhang Xuan wasn't too interested in these treasures. With a wave of his hand, he instructed the Goldspirit Cloudtiger to deal with them on its own. At the same time, he also promised them a huge slice of the pie.
Taming beasts was no different from taming one's subordinates. It was a matter of both kindness and authority.
Pointing out the flaws in their cultivation, helping them raise their cultivation, and promising them with artifacts … Only with such obvious benefits would they be willing to submit to Zhang Xuan wholeheartedly.
As expected, upon hearing those words, the Five Great Beasts couldn't help but feel agitated.
"Shouldn't you be scattered all over the place? Why are you gathered here? "
After Wu Changping and the others left, Zhang Xuan asked the Goldspirit Cloudtiger.
Based on what the Crimsonfrons White Tiger had said, the Five Great Beasts were scattered all over the place, and they had never interacted with one another. So, why would they be gathered in a single cavern?
"Since the humans entered the Temple of Confucius, the five of us gathered together to discuss countermeasures and guard the entrance so as to prevent anyone from discovering it," the Heavenwood Greenserpent replied.
"Entrance?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. "Could it be that … the entrance to the Temple of Confucius is in this cavern?"
Since the Five Great Beasts were guarding the entrance, could it be that the entrance to the Temple of Confucius was in this cavern?
"That's right." The Heavenwood Greenserpent nodded. "Back then, the reason why Kong Shi captured us and placed us here was to guard the entrance so as to prevent anyone from discovering it. It's a test for them!"
"Kong Shi captured you?" Zhang Xuan frowned in bewilderment. "You have met Kong Shi before?"
It had been several dozen millenniums since Kong Shi had disappeared from the Master Teacher Continent.
While the lifespan of a saint beast was longer than that of a human, it was impossible for them to have lived for so long. Otherwise, they would have already turned into a bunch of ancient artifacts, such that even humans would be no match for them.
Since that was the case, what did they mean by saying that they had met Kong Shi before?
