Starting from Shanhaijing: I Lead My People to Ascend to Heaven by Controlling Beasts

[Traditional Cultivation + Slow Progression + Beast Taming + Family Unity + Decisive Action + Space + Alchemy]

[Realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Violet Palace, Golden Core, Nascent Soul...]

Early-stage realm progression is slow; it will only accelerate after collecting nine spirit beasts. If you mind this, please be advised.

For someone with five spirit roots, cultivation speed is inherently extremely slow, and then they awakened the Nine Spirits Primeval Physique. Those with the Nine Spirits Primeval Physique have a dantian nine times the size of an ordinary person's, and the difficulty of advancing each level is more than nine times greater than for a regular person.

Fortunately, the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the sea of consciousness was activated, allowing for supplementary cultivation of the Mountain and Sea Beast Taming Art. This enabled the contracting of nine spirit beasts, receiving nourishment feedback from them, which greatly increased cultivation speed.

The White Jade Spirit Bee excels at concealing its presence and devouring all poisons. It can brew spiritual honey to enhance cultivation, royal jelly to aid in breaking through realms, and blood emperor jelly to elevate spirit beast bloodlines.

The Five-Colored Peacock masters the power of the five elements; its Five-Colored Divine Light can brush away anything.

The Flowing Gold Heavenly Treasure Turtle continuously increases its cultivation by devouring magical artifacts and can even master the various abilities of those artifacts. It also possesses treasure-hunting abilities.

The Great Sun Rune Tree is a rune tree that mutated and gained sentience, becoming a demonic plant after devouring the essence blood of a three-legged golden crow. For every rune it comprehends, an additional leaf appears on its branches, making its rune mastery unparalleled.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas can also analyze any issues with spirit beasts. For example, if a Five-Colored Brocade Pheasant has difficulty breeding, try some Polygonatum sibiricum; if an Ice-Armored Crocodile egg is broken, a medicinal bath will suffice; if a Fire Crane's cultivation hits a bottleneck, try breaking through its bloodline.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas also comes with its own Mountain and Sea Realm. The more people who cultivate the Mountain and Sea Beast Taming Art, the stronger the Mountain and Sea Realm becomes.

The only drawback is that clan members can only cultivate it after one becomes the patriarch. No choice then, he'll reluctantly become the patriarch.
