Dual Cultivation With My Yandere Disciples

Soon, Chen Xuan witnessed the power of the Beast Emperor Origin Technique with his own two eyes.

The unruly white dragon, which had hated him to the core and would never have chosen to surrender because of its majestic nature, gradually relaxed.

Its enormous body stopped trembling.

Its struggle slowly ceased.

Only a few moments later, the Beast Emperor Seal had completely seeped into the depths of its body, eventually forming a distinct crimson mark.

At that moment, the final trace of hatred in the white dragon’s eyes vanished.

Chen Xuan immediately sensed that a mysterious connection had been established between them.

It was faint at first.

Yet as he focused on it, the connection rapidly became clearer.

Through it, he could not only communicate with the white dragon, but more importantly, he could issue commands to it.

The "Beast Taming" had been successful.

Although Chen Xuan felt that calling it Beast Taming was somewhat inaccurate.

’There are indeed many methods of taming beasts. In fact, there is even a Beast Taming Sect in the Tianxuan Domain.’

’However, the methods used by true Beast Tamers are completely different. They usually have to raise their beasts from a young age, gradually developing a close relationship between Master and beast.’

The relationship went both ways.

There were many Beast Tamers who treated the beasts they had tamed as close companions and disciples.

Some even went as far as to consider their beasts Dao Companions.

In the world of cultivation, almost anything was possible.

Compared to such methods, the Beast Emperor Origin Technique seemed to have taken an entirely different path.

Overpowering!

This was no longer Beast Taming in the traditional sense.

It was closer to a branch of the Enslavement Dao.

As long as one possessed sufficient strength and successfully implanted the Beast Emperor Seal, the beast would be forced to submit.

There was no need to cultivate a relationship.

Chen Xuan mulled over these thoughts for only a few seconds.

Then, he shifted his attention back to the white dragon.

Using the connection between them, Chen Xuan began asking several questions.

For example...

"What’s your strength?"

"How did you appear in this place?"

The answer to the former was simple.

The white dragon’s strength was at the Early Stage of the Soul Formation realm.

According to it, it was still only a juvenile.

As long as it continued aging naturally, its strength would increase on its own until it eventually reached the Soul Transformation realm and even surpassed it.

This answer caused Chen Xuan to look at it with renewed interest.

A juvenile dragon was already at the Early Stage of Soul Formation.

Just how terrifying would its bloodline become once it matured?

Unfortunately, the white dragon itself did not seem particularly aware of how extraordinary it was.

As for the latter question...

The white dragon shook its enormous head.

"Master, I don’t know!"

"All I remember is that I’ve been in the lake ever since I awakened my consciousness."

"Back then, I heard a voice inside my mind, telling me to guard this place."

The white dragon’s voice was immature.

It paused briefly before continuing.

"I can feel that the voice and I have a very close connection."

"Combined with the environment of the lake, which can accelerate my growth, I heeded its words."

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed.

A voice? A mysterious voice that had appeared in the white dragon’s mind and ordered it to guard the lake?

That was another clue.

Unfortunately, it was far from enough to uncover the secrets of this place.

Chen Xuan continued interrogating the dragon, hoping to find more information about the inheritance through it.

Unfortunately, the result was always the same.

The white dragon knew nothing.

According to it, it had remained in the lake for its entire life.

It had never met another living being.

As for the inheritance?

It hadn’t even heard of it, much less known any of its secrets.

Chen Xuan was inevitably disappointed. However, he also knew that this made sense.

The Beast Emperor Origin Technique was the reward of the trial itself.

If practicing it and enslaving the dragon could immediately allow him to learn all the secrets of the inheritance, then he would have to wonder whether the Goddess of the Sea had something wrong with her head.

Still, from the white dragon’s words, Chen Xuan was able to see some things.

’I’m afraid that this inheritance ground isn’t completely unguarded.’

’The white dragon was only born a few thousand years ago.’

’To transfer it here and then command it to guard this place, there must be some form of intelligent life within this inheritance.’

Chen Xuan’s expression became slightly solemn.

The Goddess of the Sea had existed for an unimaginably long time.

It was impossible for him to understand the methods of such an existence through ordinary logic.

Perhaps the voice had belonged to the Goddess herself.

Or perhaps, there was an existence like the giant turtle left behind.

Unfortunately, he had no way of confirming either possibility.

After asking a couple more questions and receiving the same answers, Chen Xuan no longer lingered.

Using the connection between them, he commanded the white dragon to shrink its enormous body.

Under his command, its body rapidly became smaller.

Eventually, it transformed into a white bracelet and wrapped itself around Chen Xuan’s wrist.

Chen Xuan glanced at it.

It was difficult to imagine that such an inconspicuous bracelet was actually a terrifying Soul Formation dragon. If he took it to the Tianxuan Domain, it would be strong enough to establish its own major sect.

Satisfied, he took a step forward and appeared before the spatial passage.

He could feel a powerful aura hidden beneath it.

It was extremely profound.

Even with Chen Xuan’s current strength, he couldn’t see through it.

Nevertheless, he did not hesitate. He stepped into the spatial passage.

A moment after he entered, the passage rapidly collapsed.

The lake remained silent for only a few seconds.

Then—

A large egg descended from the sky.

It fell toward the ground before cracking apart.

A tiny dragon crawled out from within.

Its eyes were filled with confusion. It had no idea where it was.

Yet just as it raised its head and looked around in bewilderment, a voice suddenly rang inside its mind.

The voice gave it a mission.

To guard this place.

Looking at the extraordinary environment and feeling the call inside its bloodline, the tiny dragon’s eyes gradually became firm.

--

In the meantime, the spatial transference had already sent Chen Xuan away.

Within a few moments, he appeared in the second trial. The familiar sound of waves still echoed around him, worthy of being the Goddess of the Sea’s inheritance.

Yet this time, what met his gaze was not a lake nor dense white mist.

Instead, it was an endless sea.

Chen Xuan was currently floating above one of the countless islands scattered across it.

He remained suspended in mid-air for a few seconds without moving.

There were two things that immediately attracted his attention.

First, he sensed an inexplicable feeling that there was a layer between himself and the world around him.

It was extremely faint.

It was as though an invisible membrane was separating him from the world around them.

Second...

He felt a strange sense of familiarity with his surroundings.

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.

His divine sense immediately swept outward, intending to investigate these strange sensations further.

But just then, he noticed something.

There was intelligent life on the island beneath his feet.

It was not a dragon, nor were they mindless beasts.

Instead...

They were humans!

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed.

The moment he saw these people, he instinctively knew that the second trial ought to have some connection with them.

Still, he couldn’t help but wonder whether the Goddess of the Sea had some bizarre hobby.

Why were all the trials so strange?

The first trial had required him to fish. The second trial had directly thrown him onto an island inhabited by humans.

Shouldn’t she at least give the challengers some instructions about how to proceed?

He shook his head and quickly organized his thoughts.

Whatever the trial entailed, he would eventually find out.

Lowering his altitude, Chen Xuan slowly descended toward the island.

He was originally prepared to interact with the humans and see whether he could find any clues through them.

But before he could do so, something else caught his attention.

His gaze shifted toward the northern side of the island.

There stood a young girl.

She was barely six years old.

The girl sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy and attempting to cultivate.

At first glance, there was nothing particularly strange about this.

A six-year-old cultivating was somewhat unusual, but in the world of cultivation, it wasn’t enough to surprise Chen Xuan.

What truly caught his attention was her appearance.

Chen Xuan stared at her.

His eyes shrank.

Although the two figures were completely different in both age and appearance, his mind somehow overlapped them almost instantly.

A young girl. A majestic azure statue.

His gaze remained fixed on the girl.

"Could it be...?" Chen Xuan couldn’t help but whisper.
