Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 449 - 434: Killing with Praise

Li Cunxu researched the title ’Azure Heaven King’ and indeed found an issue.

The previous person to gather the title of ’Azure Heaven King’ was an ancient figure from 1,200 years ago. From the last Azure Heaven King to the current one, there’s a gap of 1,200 years where no one gathered this title, which isn’t supposed to be the case.

Azure Heaven King, this title is quite remarkable, it sounds sonorous and majestic.

Many should have wanted to gather this title.

Why is there a gap of 1,200 years? Could there be a hidden reason behind this?

"Whatever, when water comes, earth shall catch it; when soldiers come, generals shall counter. The title is already gathered; even if there’s a pit, I can only pinch my nose and jump down."

"Moreover, no matter how big the pit is, I don’t believe that the life-saving jade from the four old chairpersons can’t fill it."

"If there’s really a pit, let the little white spider follow the karmic line to poison the mastermind behind it who dug the pit for me."

Li Cunxu announced the title he gathered to the public, posting it on his social media account.

"My title is officially confirmed today, called ’Azure Heaven King’, thank you all for your support."

The next day, several prestigious old kings registered accounts online overnight to openly curse Li Cunxu for being unqualified to be called Azure Heaven King.

Netizens were indignant; this title was bestowed upon Li Cunxu by them, not to mention his performance in the national live broadcast justified the title ’Azure Heaven King’, didn’t it?

For a moment, the public was furious, denouncing the few kings cursing Li Cunxu.

In the afternoon, a piece of gossip leaked online.

In an instant, the online trend shifted.

Many who bestowed the title ’Azure Heaven King’ on Li Cunxu started to reflect, thinking they made it too grand for him.

The leaked gossip made many kings speak out, explicitly stating that Li Cunxu didn’t deserve to be Azure Heaven King and should better change it.

As the situation escalated, more and more kings spoke out, even those without social media accounts registered overnight to make their voices heard.

Li Cunxu read the gossip and understood why so many kings were denouncing him.

The previous holder of the title ’Azure Heaven King’ was the old chairperson.

Anything involving the ’old chairperson’ is confidential; due to this reason, the information was kept secret by the alliance, preventing Li Cunxu from finding it.

"It turns out that the title was once owned by the old chairperson, no wonder their reaction is so intense."

"Those hiring online shills to bestow the title ’Azure Heaven King’ on me might be trying to use the title to kill me with flattery?"

Beep beep beep~

A phone call comes in.

It’s from Grandpa Li Shiji.

Li Shiji: "The old folks from the Saint Lotus Li Family asked me to remind you that it’s best to change the title, or else it will bring a lot of trouble?"

Li Cunxu: "What kind of trouble?"

Li Shiji: "Titles can be seized, they think you’re unqualified and will come to challenge you. The old folks remind you to take these challenges seriously. Although your strength displayed in the live broadcast was quite impressive, he still thinks you can’t hold onto the title of Azure Heaven King."

Li Cunxu felt puzzled; in the live broadcast, he effortlessly annihilated the Mechanical Titan Giant Ape, enduring a full-on strike equivalent to Venerable King’s level five of celestial weaponry, and this strength can’t keep it?

Li Cunxu: "Why?"

Li Shiji: "The old folks say the title of Azure Heaven King will draw the members of the Hidden Clan into action; he’s a hundred percent sure about it because there’re several examples from the past.

Since the old chairperson broke through to Venerable King and left the title ’Azure Heaven King’ vacant, countless people tried to gather it. Eventually, in the fight over ’Azure Heaven King’, kings fought fiercely, but without exception, in the end, members of the Hidden Clan intervened, seized the title, and dispersed it, so gradually no one gathered the title of ’Azure Heaven King’ anymore."

Li Cunxu was somewhat astonished.

"It’s just a rather special title, why would the Hidden Clan care so much?"

Li Shiji: "Special? No, the title ’Azure Heaven King’ is extremely special; even I want it, haven’t you understood? It seems your fame hasn’t unlocked the hidden effects of the Azure Heaven King title yet."

Li Cunxu: "Are the hidden effects of Azure Heaven King different from other titles?"

Li Shiji: "Different, the old folks say before the hidden effects of Azure Heaven King were no different from other titles. But ever since the old chairperson owned it, the title became different; its hidden effects transformed into making law comprehension ten times simpler and law cultivation speed ten times faster, and the Beast Master’s contracted pet beast can also enjoy this hidden effect."

Comprehending rules ten times simpler; this can make Li Cunxu’s Overlord pet beast find it easier to break through to king.

Law cultivation speed increased tenfold, if not absorbing others’ spirit laws, Li Cunxu relying solely on his own cultivation can reduce the time by tenfold.

Also, the normal hidden effects of a Beast Master title only apply to oneself, ineffective on contracted pet beasts.

This title’s hidden effects allow the contracted pet beasts to enjoy them together.

Li Cunxu’s eyes gleamed, murmuring: "No wonder this title makes the kings scramble for it."

Li Cunxu suddenly said: "Isn’t it odd? If the title is so excellent, why do the people of the Hidden Clan seize it and not keep it for themselves, rather they disperse it actively?"

Li Shiji: "This is the question I also asked the old folks; they say the people of the Hidden Clan can’t possess it. The old chairperson forbade the Hidden Clan from monopolizing the title of Azure Heaven King, for which the old chairperson exterminated several Hidden Clan wanting to monopolize the title as a warning."

Li Cunxu: "Doesn’t make sense, given the Hidden Clan can’t possess the title of Azure Heaven King, why do they disperse the title instead? Is it because they can’t bear seeing others enjoy the hidden effects of Azure Heaven King?"

Li Shiji: "The old folks speculate that the Hidden Clan was scared out of its wits by the old chairperson, highly alert and reactive, worried that someone possessing the Azure Heaven King title might become the next old chairperson.

I also tend towards this speculation; the Hidden Clan is extremely apprehensive of the old chairperson."

Li Cunxu: "Grandpa, do you think I should change the title?"

Li Shiji: "Change it? No, such a great title will have no second chance if altered."

Li Cunxu also favors not changing.

Firstly, this title is extraordinary and worth having.

Secondly, changing it at the drop of a hat, isn’t that losing face?

It’s just that people challenging him would be quite troublesome.

As the online denunciation by many kings continued to escalate, the matter gathered more attention.

As a result, it brought Li Cunxu immense fame, by the third day unlocking the hidden effects of Azure Heaven King.

The denunciation grew more intense, many kings clamored, Li Cunxu was unqualified to possess the title ’Azure Heaven King’, wanting to challenge Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu was currently in no mood to deal with online denunciation as he faced something more severe.

On the yacht, came an uninvited guest.

The visitor wore a finely crafted black tailcoat, the white shirt and black bow tie complemented each other, with rows of ancient exquisitely handcrafted pocket watches hanging from his chest, exuding elegance with every gesture.

He wore a gilt mask partially covering his face, his lips on the lower half always uplifted in a quaint smile, carrying a mysterious grin seeming absent yet present, making him elusive.

The most striking thing was his exquisite sapphire cane.

The sapphire inlaid cane was one of the forty-nine imperial relics, the Heart of the Ocean, capable of stirring the sea.

The cane shaft was extraordinary again—the Sea-Stabilizing Pestle, a ninth-tier treasure one step shy of being an imperial relic, capable of stabilizing the ocean.

In an instant, Li Cunxu recognized the visitor.

The Collection Emperor.
