Beast Taming Star Journey

Elder Cobalt extended a withered hand and slowly said, "Come with me."

I suppressed my overwhelming joy and followed him respectfully.

The elder's steps were slow and steady. I tried my best to adjust my pace, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing him.

We walked through a narrow passage, the walls on both sides of which were covered with ancient totems, which looked mysterious in the dim light.

A faint herbal scent, mixed with the aroma of earth, filled the air, bringing me a sense of tranquility.

Finally, we arrived at a simple stone house.

Elder Cobalt pushed open the stone door, and a musty smell wafted out.

The stone house was dimly lit, with only a single oil lamp casting a faint glow that illuminated the simple furnishings: a stone bed, a stone table, and a few stone stools.

Elder Cobalt gestured for me to sit down, while he himself sat down on the stone bench next to the stone table.

His deep eyes seemed to see right through me, which made me feel a little nervous.

Silence spread through the stone house, and I felt that every second was as long as an eternity.

My heart was racing, and my palms were sweating.

I tried to remain calm, but Elder Cobalt's gaze was like a mountain, making it hard for me to breathe.

Just when I was about to succumb to the pressure, Elder Cobalt finally spoke.

“You are very good,” he said in a deep, hoarse voice. “Being able to complete this test shows that you are exceptionally talented.”

I was overjoyed, and my nervousness eased a little.

“I will teach you a unique beast-taming technique,” ​​Elder Cobalt continued. “This technique is called ‘Spiritual Resonance,’ which will allow you to better control the power of your beasts and even merge your power with that of your beasts.”

My breath caught in my throat, and a surge of ecstasy welled up inside me.

Controlling and fusing the power of beast taming?

This is exactly what I've been dreaming of!

I quickly perked up and listened attentively to Elder Cobalt's explanation.

Elder Cobalt slowly explained the techniques of "spiritual resonance," detailing every aspect from breathing frequency to the application of mental energy.

I listened with rapt attention, as if I had entered a completely new world.

I discovered that this technique is completely different from the beast-taming methods I had learned before. It places more emphasis on spiritual communication and integration, enabling the beast tamer and the beast to establish a closer connection.

I can't wait to try this technique, but I know it requires a long period of practice and understanding.

Elder Cobalt seemed to read my mind. He said, “Don’t rush things. ‘Telepathic Resonance’ requires a gradual approach and slow comprehension. I will guide you here for a while until you have fully mastered it.”

My heart was filled with gratitude, and I quickly expressed my thanks to Elder Cobalt.

I know this will be a major turning point on my path of beast taming.

Elder Cobalt stood up, walked to the corner of the stone house, and took out an ancient stone slab from a wooden box.

He handed me the stone slab and said, "This contains the detailed cultivation method for 'Spiritual Resonance.' Study it carefully."

I took the stone slab, and felt a cool sensation as I touched it.

I looked down and saw that the stone slab was covered with dense text and patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

“Alright,” Elder Cobalt said, “that’s enough for today. Go back and get some rest. We’ll officially begin our cultivation tomorrow.”

I bowed respectfully to Elder Cobalt, then turned and left the stone house.

Stepping out of the stone house, I took a deep breath and felt light all over.

Elder Cobalt's teachings still echo in my ears, and the mystery of that "spiritual resonance" fascinates me.

I couldn't help but smile, gripping the stone slab tightly in my hand, as if I held the key to a stronger path.

Su Yao was standing not far away, waiting for me.

When she saw me come out, a gentle smile appeared on her face. "How was it?" she asked softly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Elder Cobalt promised to teach me a unique beast-taming technique called 'Spiritual Resonance'!" I said excitedly, showing her the stone tablet. "It's said to be able to fuse my power with that of the beast I tame!"

Su Yao's eyes lit up too, "Really? That's great!"

She gently took my arm, her chest brushing against it intentionally or unintentionally, and a faint fragrance wafted into my nose.

I turned to look at her, and her eyes were full of love, which warmed my heart.

We walked side by side on the way back. I recounted Elder Cobalt's explanation to Su Yao, who listened with great interest and occasionally asked questions.

We discussed the mysteries of "telepathic resonance," envisioning a stronger version of ourselves in the future, the air filled with a sweet and hopeful atmosphere.

Back at my lodgings, I couldn't wait to begin studying the inscription on the stone slab.

However, the text on the stone slab was obscure and the patterns were extremely complex. The more I looked at it, the more confused I became.

I tried to cultivate according to the instructions on the stone slab, but I could never get the hang of it.

"What's wrong?" Su Yao asked with concern when she saw my furrowed brows.

I sighed and told her about the difficulties I was facing.

Su Yao also carefully studied the contents of the stone slab, but found nothing.

The next day, I went to Elder Cobalt's stone house again to ask him for advice.

Elder Cobalt frowned slightly after hearing my question. "You can't even understand this much?"

His tone carried a hint of impatience, which made my heart sink.

I tried to explain my understanding, but Elder Cobalt didn't seem satisfied.

He shook his head. "It seems your talent isn't as high as I thought."

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over my head, leaving me feeling dejected.

Over the next few days, I tried repeatedly to understand the techniques Elder Cobalt had described, but I always failed.

I started to doubt my abilities and felt a bit down.

Su Yao kept encouraging me, but her words couldn't dispel the gloom in my heart.

"Perhaps I am not suited to cultivate 'Spiritual Resonance'..." I murmured to myself, and the stone slab in my hand suddenly became incredibly heavy.

Su Yao grasped my hand; her hand was warm and strong, but it couldn't stop the despair spreading through my heart... I looked up at Su Yao's worried eyes, wanting to say something, but not knowing where to begin...
