Chapter 016: Nine Evolutions, Legendary Divine Beast Kunpeng!
Bailin City.
In the villa of the City Lord's Mansion, within the spirit fish cub breeding pool.
A small silver-white fish swam slowly.
Wherever this small white fish went, the other spirit fish cubs were terrified.
They fled in all directions as if encountering a terrifying creature.
But the small white fish paid them no mind, continuing to swim leisurely like a proud monarch surveying its territory.
This was Zane's first pet beast, the White Scale Fish.
Under Zane's care, the White Scale Fish had successfully broken out of its egg and entered this world.
The Bai family's spirit fish breeding facilities were absolutely top-tier in Bailin City.
So, after the White Scale Fish cub was born, Zane placed it in the breeding pool, leading to the scene before him.
However, Zane's White Scale Fish was slightly different compared to ordinary White Scale Fish.
First was its size.
Zane's White Scale Fish was several sizes larger than ordinary ones, looking more fierce.
Second, the eyes of ordinary White Scale Fish were silver-white, but Zane's White Scale Fish had purple-gold eyes, looking extremely miraculous.
As for why such changes occurred, Zane had a vague guess.
It was either because of the Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish's main scale or because of the White Scale Fish's exceptional talent that caused this phenomenon.
But this didn't seem to be a bad thing.
*Yin yin~*
The White Scale Fish raised its head slightly, rubbing against Zane's hand, looking very affectionate.
Zane smiled faintly at this, ordering the servants to bring food for the spirit fish cub and began feeding it.
While feeding the White Scale Fish, Zane pondered the next steps.
Now that the White Scale Fish had successfully hatched, Zane should prepare to train it.
Actually, strictly speaking, spirit beast cubs couldn't be trained immediately.
Because they had just been born and hadn't adapted to the outside world yet.
Normally, they needed a period of adaptation.
Only after fully adapting to this world could they begin training.
But Zane's White Scale Fish cub didn't seem to need such an adaptation period.
Because Zane's White Scale Fish was simply too strong.
Although just born, its size and mental vitality far exceeded other spirit beast cubs, completely skipping the so-called adaptation period.
So, starting training immediately was also feasible.
Perhaps this was the special trait of Monarch-level potential—born a monarch, fearless.
However, what Zane was pondering was another matter.
"In which direction should I let the White Scale Fish develop?"
Zane murmured, thinking about the development path of the White Scale Fish.
To be honest, the Bai family's research on Water-type spirit beasts was extremely deep.
Especially the White Scale Fish clan, which was the Water-type spirit beast the Bai family was most familiar with.
This was because Elder Bai's first pet beast was a Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish evolved from a White Scale Fish.
For the White Scale Fish, the Bai family had a complete set of secret evolution techniques.
It could allow a White Scale Fish to evolve all the way into a Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish!
Zane's father, Chengzhi Bai's pet beast, the Red-Eyed Silver-Patterned Fish, was cultivated according to Elder Bai's secret evolution technique.
If Chengzhi Bai's Red-Eyed Silver-Patterned Fish could evolve once more, it could become a Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish, just like his grandfather's pet beast.
Similarly, if Zane's White Scale Fish was cultivated according to Elder Bai's secret evolution technique, it could easily be raised into a Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish.
A legacy passed down in a continuous line.
However, Zane hesitated slightly.
Because Elder Bai's Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish was only a Diamond-rank spirit beast.
Even if its origin wasn't damaged, it could only grow to the Violet Crystal rank.
But Zane's White Scale Fish was very special, with potential reaching the Monarch rank.
This meant Zane's White Scale Fish could completely surpass Elder Bai's Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish.
Therefore, Elder Bai's secret evolution technique wasn't particularly suitable for Zane.
"I've decided. I want to try a new secret evolution technique to let the White Scale Fish grow to a higher level."
After some thought, Zane made his decision, his gaze becoming firm.
As for the method to cultivate the White Scale Fish to a higher realm, although Zane didn't have one, he had a good solution.
It should be known that the [Eye of Apocalypse] talent possessed near-"omniscient" abilities.
Obtaining a secret evolution technique for the White Scale Fish wouldn't be simple.
With this thought, Zane directly activated the [Eye of Apocalypse], pondering the secret evolution technique for the White Scale Fish in his mind.
[Currently researching White Scale Fish evolution methods, obtaining Heavenly Dao revelation.]
[Evolution Plan 1: Undergo two evolutions to become Red-Eyed Silver-Patterned Fish (Gold-rank)]
[Evolution Plan 2: Undergo three evolutions to become Red-Eyed Golden-Patterned Fish (Diamond-rank)]
[...]
[Evolution Plan N: Undergo nine evolutions, from fish to whale, from whale to Kun, evolving into the Nine-Heavens Kunpeng (God-rank)]
As Zane researched, the specific functions of the [Eye of Apocalypse] became completely clear to him.
If he wanted to investigate special "knowledge," such as cultivation methods for the White Scale Fish...
Zane only needed to silently ponder the question while the [Eye of Apocalypse] was active.
Then, the [Eye of Apocalypse] would automatically take effect, giving the corresponding answer.
For this reason, Zane successfully obtained cultivation methods for the White Scale Fish.
However, one thing exceeded Zane's expectations: there seemed to be far more cultivation methods for the White Scale Fish than he had anticipated.
Even the secret techniques the Bai family never spread to outsiders appeared one by one before Zane.
Zane sighed with emotion at this.
The utility of this ability far exceeded his expectations.
As long as something appeared before Zane, it seemed that nothing in the world would have any secrets left.
Because the Heavenly Dao revelation of the [Eye of Apocalypse] seemed to have no limitations.
As long as Zane had a thought, he could obtain the corresponding answer.
After sighing, Zane concentrated and began to review the options.
When Zane looked at the last cultivation method, his eyes lit up instantly.
[Evolution Plan N: Undergo nine evolutions, from fish to whale, from whale to Kun, evolving into the Nine-Heavens Kunpeng (God-rank)]
"The White Scale Fish can actually evolve to God-rank... the Kunpeng from myths and legends."
Zane gasped, feeling shocked.
Because this far exceeded his expectations.
According to Zane's initial thought, if the White Scale Fish could successfully evolve to Monarch-rank, becoming a true Monarch spirit beast, that would be good enough.
Unexpectedly, the [Eye of Apocalypse] gave him a huge surprise .
