Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 860 - 855 Origin Tree
Chapter 860: Chapter 855: Origin Tree
Chapter 860 -855: Origin Tree
Six Tower.
Even with the seal of Netherworld Flame, the aura of the Cursed Erosion Tree still caught the attention of the tower masters. The moment Bai Heguang and Bai Qi appeared, six mythic auras enveloped them.
“It seems that everyone’s been hiding their capabilities…”
Bai Qi wasn’t surprised by this; if the Death State could hide seven angels, it was only normal for the Federation to hide six tower masters.
He even suspected that the remaining eleven Guardians of Eden had also reached mythic status but were simply concealed by the Federation.
After all, with four top-level myths already possessing enough intimidation power, there was no need to reveal everything.
“Heguang, Bai Qi, is it you? I thought the Death State had come knocking at our door.”
Seeing Bai Heguang, Zhao Futu breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and asked, “Is this a Death Avatar? Heguang, you plan to seal it here?”
Bai Heguang nodded slightly, saying, “Yes, the seals left by the ancestors of the Bai Family must have been prepared for this moment, and besides, I can’t think of a more suitable place than here.”
“Indeed, in that case, I’ll immediately contact Old Lady Fan, her involvement will improve the sealing effect significantly.”
“No need, I already smelled this thing from afar,” Old Lady Fan said as she stepped out from the void nearby, glancing disdainfully at the Cursed Erosion Tree surrounded by Netherworld Fire. “How come the Death Avatars we’ve encountered recently keep getting stranger? Can this thing actually affect the soul?”

“They must have begun to evolve on their own, which is why we need to speed up our actions.”
A flash of fire glinted in Bai Heguang’s eyes, and the Netherworld Flame burned more fiercely, soon reducing the tree to a small piece of the root.
Old Lady Fan seemed reluctant to deal with this object, and with a flick of her wrist, the piece of the root disappeared on the spot.
“I’ve already thrown it into the seal, remember to reinforce it, Old Lady. If this thing escapes, you’ll all be in trouble.”
“Rest assured, it won’t come out.”
Bai Heguang turned to Bai Qi and said, “I’m going to reinforce the seal. Bai Qi, you should find a place to rest.”
“Okay, teacher.”
Bai Qi nodded and watched Bai Heguang leave.
“Finally got to see you, Bai Qi. You’re such a busy man these days, I haven’t been able to see you even after you’ve been back for so long.”
Bai Tongchen came over to Bai Qi’s side, gave him a strong pat on the shoulder, and found that Bai Qi didn’t budge at all. Instead, his hand felt numb from the impact, which changed his expression.
“What in the world have you done, kiddo? How is your physical body even more monstrous than mine?”
“Tower Master Bai, perhaps let’s not share the title of ‘monstrous’ with me.”
Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, Bai Qi found that Bai Tongchen indeed possessed the same character as Bai Wuji—their greeting methods were always so violent.
“Share? That title was practically tailor-made for you,” Bai Tongchen said, shaking his head. “As a Legendary Beast Master with six Legendary Pet Beasts, if it weren’t for the raising of the world’s upper limit, you would definitely be the strongest in this world.”
“No, I now doubt that even the general mythical creatures would be no match for you!”
“You don’t need to doubt anymore, you indeed can’t beat him now,” Old Lady Fan interjected with a glance at Bai Tongchen. “Not just you, there are only a handful in the entire Federation who can overcome him.”
As soon as Old Lady Fan’s words were spoken, including Zhao Futu who had witnessed the fight between Bai Qi and Bai Heguang, all tower masters gasped in shock.
If only a handful can defeat him, doesn’t that mean that aside from the four top-level myths like Jiuyou Minghuang, the other myths weren’t a match for Bai Qi?
“Old Lady Fan, you can’t be setting me up like this,” Bai Qi said with a wry smile, feeling the intense stares from the six people. He quickly changed the subject, “By the way, Old Lady Fan, there’s something I need to consult you about.”
“It’s about that Black Fog from the Death State.”
Hearing about the Black Fog, Old Lady Fan’s expression turned serious, and the tower masters set aside their thoughts and no longer disturbed Bai Qi.
“Come with me,” she said.
With a wave of her hand, Bai Qi was transferred into the training field.
Just like the first time Bai Qi had been here, the place was bustling with activity as various transcendent creatures coexisted harmoniously, a picturesque scene of a paradise.
“Speak, did you encounter that fellow again?” Old Lady Fan asked, looking at Bai Qi.
“Yes, I initially wanted to capture him, but his true body is too well concealed; I didn’t catch him,” Bai Qi informed Old Lady Fan about his previous experiences, but she showed no sign of surprise.
“Even I couldn’t catch him,” Old Lady Fan said with a hint of irritation. “When you were swept away by the River of Time, the Death State began to snatch the Black Fog Serpent.”
“I could have stopped them, but my attention was diverted, allowing the Black Fog to take advantage.”
“That thing’s Space Ability is incredibly strong, not even belonging to the Silver Dragon clan of mine. Even now, I can only ensure that it can’t ambush me within the space I control.”
“That exaggerated?”
Bai Qi frowned slightly. He had been considering joining forces with Old Lady Fan to capture the Black Fog, thus depriving the Death State of its greatest tactical advantage, while they would still have Old Lady Fan on their side, increasing their advantage significantly.
But now, it seems that even Old Lady Fan has no way to deal with him?
Could Old Lady Fan’s Space Origin power possibly be inferior to theirs?
Bang!
“Don’t question me in front of Old Lady Fan, or I might just throw you directly into the Death State.”
Old Lady Fan withdrew her finger, looking at Bai Qi who was holding his head in pain, and said, “Are you wondering why, even though I have mastered the Space Origin, that Black Fog still has such powerful space abilities, right?”
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, as this question had actually been lingering in his mind for a long time, but he had never received an answer.
Logically, the Origin should be unique, and the person who first masters the Origin can become the deity of that aspect, while those who comprehend it later can only be subordinate to them.
But this raised an issue, as many people have overlapping Origin abilities, yet there seems to be no distinction between them in terms of superiority or inferiority. Bai Qi was confused about what was going on.
“Actually, the principle is quite simple.”
Old Lady Fan pointed ahead and said, “What do you see there?”
Bai Qi followed the direction of the finger and was momentarily stunned.
“A tree?”
“Exactly, a tree.”
Old Lady Fan nodded and said, “You can think of a complete Origin as a tree. The trunk is the main body of the Origin, the branches and roots are like its laws, and the leaves and fruits are its manifested powers.”
“And we are like the worms on this tree, first nibbling at the fruits and leaves, then at the roots and branches, and after that, the trunk.”
“Once we’ve devoured the heart of the tree, we become another tree. Only then do we truly master the Origin.”
“The Origin is a tree, and transcendent creatures are insects?”
Bai Qi suddenly understood, finding the metaphor vivid. To nibble at the trunk meant mastering the Origin, which implied that creatures possessing similar Origin were like insects competing in a race.
Whoever nibbles to the tree’s heart first becomes the master of the Origin.
“Actually, there’s another stage after becoming the new tree, but my heritage memory doesn’t go into detail, so I’m not clear on it,” said Old Lady Fan with a chuckle, then suddenly looked past Bai Qi into the Void, her face showing a mischievous smile, “Speaking of which, Delta is also close to mastering the Space Origin. When that happens, I’ll have another competitor.”
“Uh, Old Lady Fan, rest assured, Delta will just follow behind you, he won’t compete with you.”
Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly to show his loyalty. Delta’s space bloodline originated from Old Lady Fan; he wasn’t about to compete with her.
Moreover, given Delta’s current progress, he probably couldn’t catch up with Old Lady Fan anyway.
As for that Black Fog, it would be best to resolve it soon; that way, Old Lady Fan could dominate the Space Origin alone, and he wouldn’t have to worry about being ambushed anymore.
“Alright, I’ll think of a way to deal with the Black Fog. Just be careful yourself, and as long as you don’t leave Federation territory, I can arrive in time.”
Old Lady Fan, seemingly uninterested in continuing the conversation, gave Bai Qi the signal to leave, while Bai Qi, who had once again gained the protection of a top-level Myth, did not linger and happily made his exit.
With teachers on the left and Old Lady Fan on the right, it would be almost disrespectful not to swagger out the door with such treatment!
“However, there seems to be something off with Old Lady Fan’s explanation of the Origin Tree.”
Bai Qi scratched his head; it appeared that the Origins his pet beasts had mastered were somewhat different from others’.
Others had Origins like fire, water, wind, and the like, and at a higher level, life, death, time, and space.
But his, with Reincarnation, Six Paths, Elemental Genesis, Chaos and such, didn’t seem to be commonly heard of, had they?
“Could it be that I’ve been adding too many ingredients with the Evolution Egg, causing Alpha and the others’ Origin Trees to grow crooked?”
Bai Qi suddenly felt a toothache; while a crooked tree could be straightened, could a misgrown Origin Tree be corrected?
Could it be that Alpha and the others were unable to evolve because their Origin Tree had grown crooked and the will of Gaia didn’t recognize it?
If that were the case, his situation was a significant loss!
“No, I must study the Evolution Egg closely when I get home. After all, I’ve helped Gaia transport goods before; I should be able to resolve this kind of problem.”
Bai Qi shook his head and, losing interest in staying at the Association any longer, passed through the Space Door and headed back to Gusu City.
He still had to visit the Elemental Spirit, having been promised access to the Elemental World whenever and wherever he wanted, but it didn’t open when it mattered most. Although he was safe, he had to go and have a word about it.
After Bai Qi had left, the Tower Master of the Six Towers arrived belatedly, just in time to see Bai Qi step into the Space Door and disappear from sight.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Futu immediately wanted to have the Void Skate pull Bai Qi back but realized he was a step too late.
“This kid, why does he come and go without a trace like his teacher? I have matters to discuss with him.”
“Isn’t it good? Another Bai Heguang would definitely be a boon for humanity and for our Association as well.”
Lan Ke suddenly showed a smile, causing the surrounding men to feel as if a light had shone before them.
Regrettably, that radiance was fleeting, and Lan Ke quickly returned to her usual cold demeanor.
“Alright, since the kid has run off, we’ll have to do it ourselves. We can’t let the young ones shoulder everything~”
Zhao Futu lifted his head, glanced at the dazzling sun above, and disappeared from the spot with a flash, while the other Tower Masters also left one by one.
The Six Towers once again returned to tranquility.
