C39 Lion's Roar
chapter 38 Lion's Roar
The Forbidden Realm was huge. There were Eastern Wasteland,western Territory, Southern Wilderness, Northern Desert and Central Plains.
The Eastern Wasteland was the poorest because the wars in history basically happened in the Eastern Wasteland. The Eastern Wasteland, which had experienced countless wars, was extremely barren. The further east one went, the thinner the spiritual energy in the air was, and the harder it was for cultivators to cultivate.
The Burning Sword City was a city at the border of the Eastern Wasteland. If one continued to walk a few hundred miles east of the Burning Sword City, they would reach the East Desolate Beast Forest, which was known as the "Ferocious Region."
There was a barrier set up by a human expert outside the East Desolate Beast Forest. It was used to prevent the ferocious beast from rushing out of the Beast Forest and wreaking havoc in the world. It had been thousands of years.
And on this night, a shrill howl broke through the clouds, breaking the peace of the Eastern Wasteland.
The East Desolate Beast Forest was the beast forest with the most types of ferocious beast in the entire Forbidden Realm. There were tens of thousands of ferocious beast and desolate beasts that had inherited the ancient bloodline. It was a natural treasure land.
However, although there were countless treasures in the East Desolate Beast Forest, no one dared to intrude and seize the treasures because the Divine Court was destroyed two thousand years ago. After the Emperor disappeared, no one could surrender to the ferocious beast that came out of the East Desolate Beast Forest. In order to protect the Eastern Wasteland and the Forbidden Realm from being attacked by the beasts, a few experts from the Central Plains used a barrier to seal the East Desolate Beast Forest.
After the East Desolate Beast Forest was sealed, there was a lack of spiritual energy in the beast forest. The ferocious beast inside would not be able to grow and would forever be trapped inside.
However, the barrier could not stop the greedy humans. In the past, countless people had entered the East Desolate Beast Forest through the hole in the barrier, but no one was able to come out alive.
Over time, the East Desolate Beast Forest had become a dangerous place, and no one dared to step into it. Until this night, a shrill and unique howl resounded through the sky, and the East Desolate Beast Forest once again entered everyone's line of sight.
This howl was the first to reach the Vast Expanse Domain. Yuu Zifei, who was taking care of Gai Yin with all her heart, changed her expression. She left the house and even walked out of the Full Spring Tower. She came to the main street and looked at the clouds. There was only a bright moon hanging in the sky. She blinked slightly and then looked towards the far east.
The entire Burning Sword City could no longer remain calm. Taking advantage of the chaos in the night, this howl sounded extremely miserable. If it wasn't for the barrier in the East Desolate Beast Forest, everyone in the Burning Sword City would have fled long ago.
Ordinary people naturally did not understand what ferocious beast this roar came from, but Yuu Zifei understood it very well.
In the Ziwei Academy's Music Listening Pavilion, there were tens of thousands of different kinds of ferocious beast howls and all kinds of magical tunes. This mournful howl happened to be a kind of sound Yuu Zifei had heard before.
"Moon Embracing Jade Lion!"
About two thousand years ago, there were only two Moon Embracing Jade Lion in the Forbidden Realm that came out from the East Desolate Beast Forest. The Forbidden Realm had to pay the price of tens of thousands of cultivators to subdue the two Moon Embracing Jade Lion. They killed the male lion in the Moon Embracing Jade Lion. In order to prevent the Moon Embracing Jade Lion from being extinct, the cultivators of the Forbidden Realm killed the male lion. He released the wounded female lion back to East Desolate Beast Forest.
At that time, the sound of the Moon Embracing Jade Lion was recorded by the Listening Pavilion of Ziwei Academy, and it had been preserved until now.
Yuu Zifei was a disciple of Ziwei Academy. She had heard a lot of voices in the Listening Pavilion. She had also heard the sound of the Moon Embracing Jade Lion and remembered it in her mind. Therefore, she immediately recognized what the owner of the voice was.
"According to the historical records, there are at most four Moon Embracing Jade Lion in the entire Forbidden Realm. Two of them are parents, two of them are children, and the parents are born at the same time. They are also siblings, but in the Beast Clan... There was no distinction between siblings, only the difference between males and females. Therefore, in order to ensure the purity of the offspring's bloodline, it is usually male and female lionesses who mate and continue the offspring. "
"It seems like it's destined. Every child of the Moon Embracing Jade Lion is a male and female, born at the same time to continue the bloodline of the offspring. Every time the Moon Embracing Jade Lion matures, it will howl at the moon, hoping that their offspring will one day step onto the peak of Forbidden Realm like their ancestors, look down at the sky, and embrace the bright moon in the sky."
"Ever since the Moon Embracing Jade Lion killed a male in Forbidden Realm two thousand years ago, only the female lion has been able to continue the bloodline of its offspring. During this period, there were a total of 19 howls. This is the 20th Moon Embracing Jade Lion, the 20th generation Moon Embracing Jade Lion in the past two thousand years. "
Yuu Zifei recalled all the records about the Moon Embracing Jade Lion. She did not expect to hear the howl of the Moon Embracing Jade Lion in Burning Sword City. It was the so-called cry of hope.
"The Moon Embracing Jade Lion is an existence akin to the Lion King amongst all the Jade Lions. Therefore, many people want to tame them and turn them into their natal guardian beasts. However, it is extremely difficult to tame an adult Moon Embracing Jade Lion. As such, they can only start with the young Moon Embracing Jade Lion. Therefore, whenever a Moon Embracing Jade Lion gave birth to a young Moon Embracing Jade Lion, many people would take the risk of entering the East Desolate Beast Forest. They want to snatch two young Moon Embracing Jade Lion away from an adult Moon Embracing Jade Lion. "
"What a pity, those who entered the Beast Forest the first 19 times all failed. Even though there was a barrier in East Desolate Beast Forest that isolated the spiritual energy, the Moon Embracing Jade Lion inside was still able to cultivate into a Heaven Rank ferocious beast. Those who haven't opened six Forbidden Gate or higher in their bodies will never be able to take away the baby Moon Embracing Jade Lion. Once they enter, they will become food in the Moon Embracing Jade Lion's mouth."
"The barrier set up by the experts of the Central Plains can only withstand the power of the Six Dao Forbidden Gate and the restrictions cast by cultivators below that level. Therefore, cultivators who have opened the Six Dao Forbidden Gate and above cannot enter the barrier. The Moon Embracing Jade Lion really has to thank this barrier... I just don't know if the two adult Moon Embracing Jade Lion have reached the Heaven Rank, if not... Perhaps the baby Moon Embracing Jade Lion has really been taken away."
Yuu Zifei returned to the Full Spring Tower. Her pace was very slow. She believed that the sound of the Moon Embracing Jade Lion was enough to shake the entire Eastern Wasteland. If the adult Moon Embracing Jade Lion had not reached the Heaven Rank, the major cultivation sects and families of the Eastern Wasteland would definitely rush to the border of the Eastern Wasteland to fight for the baby Moon Embracing Jade Lion.
If a cultivator had a Natal Guardian Beast, his strength would increase exponentially. If he cultivated to a certain level, he would have two lives. With such great benefits and help, there was probably no one who wouldn't be moved.
Yuu Zifei was worried that the Gong family and Yuu family of the Purple Wei Region might send people here as well. If they ran into each other here, it would be a huge problem.
"Am I going to run away again?" Yuu Zifei murmured to herself. Her facial expression looked terrible. She did not want to continue to escape because she was now exactly the same as an ordinary person who had not cultivated yet. Running away like this would only result in death. And she wouldn't live. In addition to her beautiful face, Yuu Zifei knew what her outcome would be if she met someone who was interested in her.
The worried Yuu Zifei returned to her room and looked at Gai Yin, who had been sleeping for two days. Her heart was beating faster and faster. Bang, bang, bang...
At this moment, Gai Yin seemed to have become the spiritual pillar of Yuu Zifei. She urgently hoped that Gai Yin would wake up soon and give her an idea.
