Chapter 299: Thousands of Attribute Points and the Descendants of a King (II)
As the Thunder Beast was deep in thought, the Silver Colossal Dragon slowly opened its eyes in the palace behind it.
Looking at a constraint rune flickering on the fine scales of its right claw, the Silver Dragon showed an expression of excitement at having learned it.
The Thunder Beast's method of teaching runes was straightforward; it imprinted the information of the rune directly into the Silver Dragon's mind using its will. This imprint would constantly display how to condense and construct the rune in the Silver Dragon's mind until the imprinted will power was exhausted.
This technique was inspired by the pupil information mapping technology from the school. Even the dumbest beast could succeed after dozens or hundreds of attempts, just like the Kun and Turtle, which had already cultivated a Hidden Divinity rune.
Of course, achieving this required the Silver Dragon to completely open its sea of consciousness, which no beast would do without absolute trust.
Roar! Ao Tian, do you like these crystals?
The Thunder Beast growled. Roar! It's not about liking them. These Life Crystals are very important to me.
Roar! I see. Today, the great Lord Saixitia is in a good mood, so I'll help you. With that, the Silver Dragon moved and swam out.
In a good mood, huh? Watching the Silver Dragon disappear into the sea, the Thunder Beast showed a ferocious smile that was almost human-like. Then, it closed its eyes, its consciousness diving into its body and starting to mobilize its vitality and spiritual will to condense a spatial rune.
The division of labor between Chen Chu's human form and beast form was clear: one deduced while the other conducted internal clinical experiments. This was the largest reason for the rapid progression of the spatial passage rune.
Boom!
Suddenly, the vitality within the Thunder Beast surged, and a large chunk of flesh within its body shattered under the force of the rune.
Such an injury, however, was like a scratch to the Thunder Beast. With its Regeneration ability, the broken flesh quickly dissolved with new flesh replacing it, growing back to its original state.
Then it continued.

"Dear passengers, we have reached Qingshan City and are about to begin our descent. The outside temperature is 24 degrees Celsius, and the weather is clear..."
The plane landed at 2 P.M., and Chen Chu and his group arrived in the bustling city of Qingshan, in the Baihu Nation.
Established in the New Era, it had a culture that differed slightly from others. Befitting its name of the “Hundred Fox” Nation, many people kept foxes as pets, with cultivators even forming contracts with mutated fox beasts, and fox-related elements and styles were seen everywhere.
Both this culture and the nation’s history were tied to its king-level cultivator. Legend had it that he had been just an apprentice zookeeper when the New Era began fifty years ago. After the world’s transformation, he awakened powerful abilities, and a white fox he had been caring for also mutated, growing a second tail.
When darkness and chaos erupted, the original Baihu Nation had been one of the first to be affected, and was quickly destroyed. In the face of this situation, the zookeeper fought his way through the chaos with the white fox at his side.
Within ten years, the zookeeper became a king-level cultivator and established the current Baihu Nation. His white fox companion evolved and gained immense power through battles and luck, eventually turning into an Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox and becoming the nation’s guardian beast.
With this information in mind, Chen Chu followed Yan Ruoyi as they disembarked the plane. A group of people were already waiting by the runway, with a middle-aged man at the forefront enthusiastically greeting them. "Miss Yan, Miss Bai, and everyone, welcome to Qingshan City..."
The two parties then engaged in the usual social pleasantries, while Chen Chu's gaze swept over the other four individuals present.
Unlike the dozens of people who had come to greet them in Dongdu City, only five people were present here. Chen Chu’s glasses lingered on their faces for two seconds each, and information popped up to reveal the identities of three individuals in the group: the official in charge of Qingshan City, the secretary assistant, and the local military official.
However, the identities of the tall young man around twenty years old and the girl around seventeen or eighteen years old couldn't be identified, indicating a high level of confidentiality. Chen Chu's gaze paused slightly when it landed on the former.
This noble-looking young man was even more handsome than Chen Chu. He had smooth and flawless skin, and his features looked like they had been painted. He looked even more attractive than a beauty like Yan Ruoyi; if he ever decided to cross-dress, he would be an absolute stunner.
The girl beside him was also very pretty, with strikingly beautiful features and long, narrow eyes that exuded a subtle charm. With decorative fluffy white fox ears on her head, she looked like a fox spirit from legends. Most notably, despite being only seventeen or eighteen, the girl had an astonishingly full figure. Chen Chu felt that her clothes were nearly bursting at the seams.
Just as Chen Chu's gaze lingered on her bulging breasts, the Qingshan City official smiled and said, "Miss Yan, Ms. Bai, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Qingqiu Minghui and Miss Qingqiu Mingyue."
"Qingqiu! Members of the Qingqiu family?" Yan Ruoyi and Bai Yunfeng were surprised.
There hadn’t been a Qingqiu surname in this world initially; it had been adopted by the zookeeper-turned-cultivator after he ascended to the throne.
According to his public explanation, during his journey to power, the Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox had saved his life multiple times while risking its own. Had it not been for his partner, he would have died on his path to becoming a king.
Thus, he changed his name to Qingqiu Tianyao, a mythical name, to commemorate the brotherly bond between him and the Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox. Now, seeing these two using the Qingqiu surname, their identities were self-evident.
Qingqiu Minghui smiled warmly and said, "Miss Yan, welcome to the Nation of a Hundred Foxes. Your father is one of the elders I respect the most, though we’ve never met. It’s an honor to meet you first.
"During your stay in Qingshan, focus on preparing for your concert without worrying about safety. Here, no one can threaten you. I guarantee this with the honor of the Qingqiu family.
"Some people in the current Federation have only profits in their eyes, which is infuriating. Unfortunately, my grandfather isn't here. Otherwise, I would have asked him to convene the Council of Kings to question what those people are thinking, putting you in such danger."
As he said this, Qingqiu Minghui's eyes turned cold, filled with an indescribable authority.
Knowing that he had misunderstood, Yan Ruoyi smiled wryly and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother Qingqiu. But this plan was my idea, and uncle Ling and the others have already tried to persuade me out of it."
"I know the information was leaked by you, but they could have stopped it. Even if their so-called plan is thorough, I still can't stand it. There is never a 100% foolproof plan in this world, and no one is a fool..."
Seeing Qingqiu Minghui's tone becoming more serious, the middle-aged man quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Haha, Miss Yan, you must be tired from your journey. Let's get in the car and continue our conversation.
"But Mr. Minghui is right. Consider this trip to Qingshan as a vacation to relax. There's no need to worry about safety. He can now use his bloodline secret art to summon part of Lord Tianwei's power. If those two king soul avatars appear, he'll be able to suppress them."
When the middle-aged man mentioned this, his face showed absolute confidence.
"Brother Qingqiu can already summon the power of a mythical colossal beast?" Yan Ruoyi said in surprise.
This was different from the Tyrant Body Divine Might Chen Chu cultivated, which had granted him a bit of the Divine Might Dragon Elephant's power. Instead, this summoning called forth part of the full power of a mythical colossal beast, including its laws.
Chen Chu's gaze shifted slightly. This guy could summon the power of a mythical colossal beast through his bloodline secret art. If he could study it, then summoning the power of the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast could actually become possible...
