These demonic beasts belonged to the Demon Beast Clan, which had committed countless crimes by killing numerous humans back in the day. Their sins were unforgivable. Even though a thousand years had passed, many of them still held grudges, so even if they were released, they had to be enslaved first. Otherwise, no one could guarantee that these demonic beasts wouldn’t harbor resentment against the Tiandu Emperor!

However, for his fellow demonic beast companions, like the Fishpeople Tribe and the Black Mountain Black Bear, he treated them as partners, because he knew they considered him the same way.

In this manner, Yang Chen handed over the body cultivation materials he needed to Yu Ban, who knew what he required. Yu Ban prepared the materials and handed them over to Yang Chen.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Chen arrived at the Fishpeople Tribe’s location.

These mermaid girls gathered here to study the Way of Forbidden Methods.

When Yang Chen arrived, he saw the mermaid girls writing and drawing in the void. Those densely packed characters floated around, making Yang Chen dizzy. Although he couldn’t understand those characters, he knew they were essential components of forbidden methods.

“Young Master!” The mermaid girls quickly noticed Yang Chen’s arrival.

Yang Chen looked at the mermaid girls and asked joyfully, “How are your studies going?”

“Young Master, the Way of Forbidden Methods created by Elder Yu Ban is truly profound. We’ve been studying day and night, and Elder Yu Ban’s insights have shown us a whole new world,” exclaimed Rainbow.

These fishpeople enjoyed learning the most.

This was why they had such a rich heritage of memories – each generation accumulated vast amounts of knowledge that was passed down. It was hard to imagine how much knowledge they had accrued.

Moreover, Yu Ban’s Way of Forbidden Methods was indeed profound, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in their studies with great pleasure.

“This is my new achievement!”

“And mine too!”

In an instant, the mermaid girls began to joyfully exclaim their accomplishments.

Yang Chen asked the mermaid girls about their wellbeing and gathered some information before leaving.

Though the mermaid girls’ studies were fruitful, their stay was too short. To master the Way of Forbidden Methods, it would take more than just a day. Therefore, Yang Chen didn’t want to disturb them any longer and returned to the Beast Servant Palace.

Upon returning, Yang Chen naturally thought about controlling these stubborn demonic beasts.

“Young Master, since you’ve come back, do you have any ideas about enslaving these demonic beasts?” Yu Ban asked.

Yang Chen paced back and forth before answering thoughtfully, “Elder Yu Ban, what are the general methods to enslave someone and make them completely obedient?”

Hearing Yang Chen, Yu Ban explained without any omissions, “There are generally three methods. The first is to use a cultivation method to destroy a person’s soul, making them obey. However, this method is too vicious. It’s been forbidden for countless years, so it’s not available anymore.”

“The second method is soul enslavement, which wears down an enemy’s soul with a powerful soul. It’s similar to the first method, as both reduce the enemy’s consciousness until they can’t resist and are forced into subservience. The downside of this method is that the enslaver’s Divine Soul Realm must be much stronger than the enslaved, and the process is very lengthy. So, few people choose this method of enslavement!”

Yang Chen nodded as he had heard of these two methods before. They were the most common but not very feasible.

Simply put, the first method was useless since the cultivation technique was long gone, and even if it still existed, there was no point in enslaving an empty shell after destroying a person’s soul.

As for the second method, it was even more pointless. It could only work if the difference in Divine Soul Realm was significant. So, what was the point in him, an Origin Martial Realm cultivator, enslaving someone from the Spirit Martial Realm?

Yang Chen asked curiously, “So, Elder Yu Ban, what is the third method?”

When it came to enslavement methods, Yang Chen knew many of them.

Even without Yu Ban, he would have ideas about how to enslave them.

However, the enslavement method had to be reliable and convenient. In these aspects, he certainly couldn’t compare to the experienced Yu Ban.

Yu Ban sighed, “Young Master, the third method is related to this old man.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Ban secretly chuckled. It seemed that as Yang Chen said, the Tiandu Emperor left the Beast Servant Palace so people of later generations could control and enslave these demonic beasts.

Otherwise, what would be the purpose of his existence?

Yang Chen didn’t understand and asked, “What do you mean, Elder Yu Ban?”

“The third method is Restriction Slavery, using special prohibitions with the person’s consent. The slave restriction is planted in the person’s brain. After that, if the recipient of the slave restriction even has a tiny thought of harming their master, they will be immediately killed by the Slave Restriction,” explained Yu Ban as he stroked his beard.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen suddenly remembered.

Right, how could he forget about the Way of Forbidden Methods?

Yu Ban, a master of prohibitions, was right in front of him, and yet he had overlooked that aspect.

It wasn’t his fault since the creation of a slave restriction was extremely difficult. Ordinary prohibition masters wouldn’t be able to complete such a daunting task, let alone consider it.

But what about Yu Ban…

Thinking of this, Yang Chen asked, “Elder Yu Ban, about the slave restriction…”

“Don’t worry, Young Master. Since I dared to mention it, I can definitely accomplish it. However, slave restriction has its drawbacks, which I mentioned before. It’s tough to make it work if the other party doesn’t agree. So to plant a slave restriction, first, the demonic beasts have to willingly accept it!” said Yu Ban.

Yang Chen laughed heartily, “In theory, making these demonic beasts willingly accept is not easy. But nothing is absolute. I don’t believe that after being trapped for a thousand years, they can still endure loneliness! Elder Yu Ban, give me the information on these demonic beasts, and I’ll start by talking to a few of them!”

“No problem, Young Master!” Yu Ban hurriedly provided the information on the demonic beasts to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen quickly immersed himself in his task.
