Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 338 - 313: Sandman Ancestor Pearl

At the very bottom of the pyramid is a pile of shimmering, dazzling sand.

This is the foundation of the Sandman Race, and also where the Sandman Race is born.

The Sandman Race is quite special, they are born from sand, and they do not have beast eggs; only the Sandman Pharaoh is an exception, though not entirely special.

The egg that hatches the Sandman Pharaoh is not a traditional beast egg but a special sandy egg formed by the aggregation of sand.

The colorful sand aggregates to form a finger-length small sandman. When the small sandman touches ordinary sand, it flows up its body and wraps around it, quickly forming a new sandman standing one meter seventy tall.

The arrival of Li Cunxu seemed to anger a will within the colorful sand, and the pile started producing soldiers, with small sandmen emerging. When they stepped on ordinary sand, they started to slowly grow larger and their pace quickened, eventually running towards Li Cunxu.

But Li Cunxu couldn’t be bothered to handle them.

How strong were the newly born sandmen?

Iron-level.

Against opponents of this level, Li Cunxu did not need to act; he simply expanded a field of spirit power, and the sandmen approaching him fell prone.

Li Cunxu walked to the pool of shimmering sand, and his spirit power spread downward. Quickly, he pulled out a basketball-sized yellow treasure pearl from a depth of a hundred meters.

The will inside the treasure pearl was responsible for the sandman soldiers’ emergence.

The treasure pearl is called the ’Sandman Ancestor Pearl.’

The ability of the Sandman Ancestor Pearl is that when buried in a sandland, it can transform the sands, allowing them to continuously spawn sandmen.

Additionally, it has another sought-after ability: given a hundred years, it can nurture an egg that will certainly hatch into a king-level Sandman Pharaoh.

A hundred years is not fixed; the higher the quality of the Sandman Ancestor Pearl, the shorter the time to nurture an egg.

"Will there be an egg down there?"

Li Cunxu murmured as he looked at the shimmering sand below.

Li Cunxu summoned Xiaoruan and Xiaobai Spider to use spirit power to search for a sand egg.

Xiaoruan found it.

A coarse sand-colored egg, rough on the surface.

Xiaobai Spider asked, "Master, you have a new contract slot. Will you contract it?"

The Sandman Pharaoh is a rather easy pet to manage. It doesn’t require resources in the early stages and can steadily break through to king-level.

Li Cunxu shook his head.

"No, it’s not the type of partner I want."

The fighting style of the Sandman Pharaoh is a standard mage, and Li Cunxu’s team already has a mage. Of course, he could train a second team’s mage, but Li Cunxu is not interested.

Because Xiaoruan is too stunning; it is incomparable, and other mages pale in contrast to Xiaoruan.

Xiaobai Spider said, "Then what type of partner do you want?"

Li Cunxu said, "I don’t lack combat power, so I want a functional partner that can assist in your growth."

This sand egg, Li Cunxu planned to give to his grandfather.

Li Shiji’s family is wealthy enough to quickly feed the Sandman Pharaoh to king-level, which will swiftly provide Li Shiji with king-level strength.

Keeping the sand egg, Li Cunxu’s gaze turned back to the Sandman Ancestor Pearl.

"Xiaobai Spider, do you know? People know the Sandman Ancestor Pearl as a naturally formed item, but they don’t realize it can be embedded into the Beast Taming Space as a unique item."

Xiaobai Spider asked, "Ah! Being both an item and unique, is it so special? What effect does it have when embedded in the Beast Taming Space?"

"When embedded in the Beast Taming Space, it allows a sandland that can spawn Sandman Race to develop in the Beast Taming Space."

"Does embedding it in the Beast Taming Space have any other capabilities? If only that, it doesn’t seem very useful; whether embedded or not, the Sandman Ancestor Pearl can spawn sandmen."

"Of course, there are other abilities. Sandmen born in the Beast Taming Space will show great loyalty to the Beast Master, seeing the Beast Master as their creator and godfather."

Xiaobai Spider immediately recognized the terrifying potential of the Sandman Ancestor Pearl when used as a unique item.

If embedded as a unique item, the Beast Master would gain a hundred thousand loyal sandman pets, becoming an army alone.

Xiaobai Spider said, "The Sandman Ancestor Pearl can be embedded as a unique item, granting such formidable abilities, but why does even Shendu University’s library not record this fact? Is someone deliberately concealing it for fear it would be used for harm?"

Li Cunxu said, "No, that’s not the case. To use the Sandman Ancestor Pearl as a unique item, certain conditions must be met, and aside from me, no one else knows the conditions."

"What are the conditions to be met?"

Li Cunxu put the Sandman Ancestor Pearl into the space ring before explaining the conditions.

"Erase the will inside the Sandman Ancestor Pearl, only then can it be used as a unique item."

Erasing the will inside the Sandman Ancestor Pearl is not simple; even the Venerable King coming would not work.

Xiaobai Spider realized why the Sandman Ancestor Pearl had never been discovered as a unique item.

Every deceased sandman leaves a strand of will inside the Sandman Ancestor Pearl, and over time, the amount becomes vast and challenging to erase, and even if erased, with the death of other sandmen, the will within the Sandman Pearl would regenerate and coalesce.

Thus, no one has the time to erase the will within the Sandman Pearl.

Moreover, there is another difficulty with erasing the will: it must be completed in an instant, otherwise, the will becomes aware and suicides.

If it suicides, it won’t just destroy itself but will also cause the Sandman Pearl to explode.

This is why Li Cunxu put the Sandman Pearl back in the space ring before discussing how to fulfill the conditions for using it as a unique item, to prevent it from overhearing.

"Having acquired the Celestial Pavilion Ring from the Thousand-Layered Small World, is it time to leave?"

Li Cunxu took out the compass and then put it away.

He thought it would be a pity to leave just like that.

The top forces of the Sandman Race were almost completely wiped out by Endless Plunder, leaving a large number of unclaimed territories. Occupying these lands could empower the Slime tribe.

Especially since the territories of the Sandman Race are high-quality lands that can expedite the growth of Slimes.

Li Cunxu decided, "We should stay in this world for two more months before leaving."

"Xiaoruan, set your Land of Rebirth here. We’ll occupy territory in this world."

Land of Rebirth instantly revives Iron-level Slime. Once born, it takes a bite of sand from the Hidden 168 Small World, which contains high spiritual energy.

Raising Slime levels becomes simple; consuming high spiritual energy sand speeds up level advancement, quickly reaching Iron Nine.

Li Cunxu took out a three-way fusion platform, merging three Slimes into a three-star Slime.

The three-star Slime began devouring sand ravenously, utilizing the spiritual energy within the sand, rapidly advancing to Bronze Nine.

Using the three-way fusion platform to merge three three-star Slimes into a Nine-Star Slime.

The potential of the Nine-Star Slime is low Silver, quickly leveling up through consuming high-energy sand, reaching Silver level.
