Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 234: Chapter 150: Longevity Empress Bee

Once the gold and green insect wings on its back unfurled, the bee-like creature began to devour the jade-like carapace of the Blood Enchanting Bee Queen.

By now, the bee-like creature’s appearance had completely changed. There wasn’t a single trace of red left on its body.

Its entire body was a weave of gold and green. As it swallowed the Blood Enchanting Bee Queen’s carapace, its long, narrow abdomen steadily began to swell.

As its abdomen expanded, a green halo of light coursed over its surface.

Zhong Yi used All Things Exploration again, inspecting the evolved Blood Enchanting Bee Queen.

His inspection revealed that the Blood Enchanting Bee Queen had evolved into a creature called the Longevity Empress Bee.

By absorbing the two Soul Taming Seeds, the Blood Enchanting Bee Queen’s Bloodline had been completely transformed.

This outcome was inextricably linked to the fact that this particular Blood Enchanting Bee Queen’s Bloodline had mutated from the very start.

Had a normal Blood Enchanting Bee Queen absorbed the Soul Taming Seeds, it would have been nearly impossible to achieve the same result.

The Longevity Empress Bee was a creature Zhong Yi had never even heard of.

Through All Things Exploration, all of the Longevity Empress Bee’s information was laid out as data.

The Longevity Empress Bee’s Ability stunned Zhong Yi so much that he was speechless for a long moment.

Just like the Blood Enchanting Bee Queen, the Longevity Empress Bee was a tyrant, utterly ruthless toward its own offspring.

There was little change between the two in terms of their disposition.

The difference was that the Insect Honey produced by the Blood Enchanting Bee Queen’s offspring, after they absorbed the pollen of the Blood-Beauty Peony, only had the effect of transforming the Bloodlines of other creatures.

In contrast, when the Longevity Empress Bee’s offspring absorbed the pollen of a Healing Plant Guardian Beast, the Insect Honey they produced from the combination had a remarkable effect: every single pellet could extend a life by one year.

Each pellet of Insect Honey was equivalent to adding one year to the user’s lifespan.

Furthermore, the effect of the Insect Honey produced by the Longevity Empress Bee’s offspring did not diminish with increased consumption.

A living being could continuously use the Insect Honey from the Longevity Empress Bee’s offspring to endlessly extend its lifespan.

No matter the level of a Guardian Beast Master, even if they reached the Eternal realm and their lifespan was extended to several thousand years, there would still come a day when that life would fade, and they would enter their final slumber.

On a small scale, the Longevity Empress Bee’s Ability was to extend the lives of other creatures.

On a grand scale, it changed the very laws of nature governing aging, sickness, and death.

Zhong Yi quietly gazed at the magnificent creature in his hand, a being that was devout to him beyond measure.

He felt as if what he held in his palm was both a priceless treasure and a crushingly heavy mountain.

After evolving his Moon Eyes Bellflower into the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon, Zhong Yi hadn’t revealed its secrets even to Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao, the two elders who had always cared for him, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

If news of the Longevity Empress Bee’s existence were to ever leak, the most powerful experts in the entire world would go into a frenzy.

Those experts who had reached the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level were already powerful beyond measure.

What these experts pursued was eternal life!

The Purifying Moon Sect’s Crying Moon Goddess, a veteran expert at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level, seemed to have very little of her lifespan left.

Her end was due within the next three or four years.

The death of the Crying Moon Goddess just so happened to be a crucial main storyline plot point in the game Zhong Yi had designed in his past life.

There was no telling how many experts at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level were plagued by the issue of their dwindling lifespans.

Even if the Xin Xia Federation stood firmly on his side, once news of the Longevity Empress Bee got out, they would be absolutely unable to protect him, as the Federation only had three experts at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level.

Zhong Yi had the Longevity Empress Bee return to its blood-colored hive.

After its Bloodline transformation, the Longevity Empress Bee showed no aversion to the hive it had so painstakingly built.

Originally, Zhong Yi had thought of raising the Blood Enchanting Bee Queen in the sunroom after forming a Contract with it.

Zhong Chenghuai had specifically built a luxurious and spacious sunroom to cultivate those dozens of Blood-Beauty Peony plants.

Now, however, Zhong Yi dismissed that idea. He would raise the Longevity Empress Bee inside his own Soul Base.

Zhong Yi’s Soul Base was inherently of the Life Attribute, making it perfectly suitable for housing Healing Plant Guardian Beasts.

He would have the Longevity Empress Bee stay within his Soul Base to breed its colony, and he would never summon it out into the open again.

When he got back from Longya City, Zhong Yi planned to properly furnish his Soul Base.

He planned to place the second Treasure Guarding Dragon Pot inside his Soul Base and have it form Contracts with his precious Production-type Guardian Beasts, like the Longevity Empress Bee, Fertility Ant Queen, and Secret Medicine River Clam.

This would ensure the safety of these Guardian Beasts during their production cycles.

The Longevity Empress Bee didn’t just bring Zhong Yi risk; it also brought him immense opportunity.

As long as he never summoned the Longevity Empress Bee from his Soul Base, the risks could be almost entirely avoided.

After all, unless they resorted to forceful measures, not even an expert at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level could forcibly inspect a Guardian Beast Master’s Soul Base if the master themselves was unwilling to open it.

The opportunities it offered him, however, were countless.

He had already used the Healing Ability of the Resurrection Celestial Lord to bring Creators like Zhao Kai under his command and to place Zheng Yufeng in his debt for saving his life.

Now that he possessed the Insect Honey produced by the Longevity Empress Bee’s offspring, he could do the same with those powerful experts whose lifespans were running short, either bringing them under his command or making them owe him great favors.

To control these experts, he wouldn’t even need to use the Insect Eggs of the Soul-Catching Gu Mother.
