Chapter 560: Chapter 532: Nanming Emperor One Beast
“Could it be, you’re here to attend the Monster Grand Convention too?”
Big Wind ignored the barbaric bird beside it, asking in a friendly tone.
“What Monster Grand Convention? I don’t know about it.”
“I was entrusted by my senior brother Lu Ya to deliver this wooden box to you.” Xu Ke stared at the Cyclone Bird for a while, and then said innocently.
“Lu Ya?” The Cyclone Bird tilted its head, thought for a while but couldn’t find a matching person in its Spirit Consciousness. “Sounds familiar…”
“What wooden box, let me have a look…” it said casually.
“All right!” Xu Ke, seemingly unsuspecting, took out a vermilion wooden box.
A time-worn and decrepit aura surged up on it all of a sudden.
“This is!” the Cyclone Bird body shivered, almost losing its balance and plummeting into the sea.
At first, the white barbaric bird didn’t recognize it and stared at the box closely for a while.
After a short moment, it let out a sharp cry.
Its feathers stood upright, as if it was extremely stimulated.
Before it could say anything, it was silenced by a gust of wind fanned by the quick-witted Cyclone Bird.
“Hehe, so it was sent by him…”
“Kid, quickly put it away. If it attracts other creatures, it won’t be good.”
Not asking further about the stuff in the box, the embarrassed Cyclone Bird coughed lightly and repeatedly urged.
“Sure thing!” Xu Ke obediently put the wooden box away again.
“Esteemed senior, we were headed towards Nanming Demon Mountain, but we lost our way. Could you guide us there?” He then bulky asked based on their past conversations.
“Ahem, kid, didn’t your elders tell you before you left home? It should be called Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain, not Nanming Demon Mountain!” Big Wind corrected seriously.
“Your disrespect for the Sacred Beast Mountain is grossly offensive. Luckily, you met me who is quite temperate. If you met those brutally tyrannical beings, you would probably be captured on the spot and have your guts ripped out and liver devoured!” Big Wind threatened.
Xu Ke tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said with doubt, “But Grandpa San told me not to be nervous here as if I were at home. That’s what everyone at home says!”
“Grandpa San…” Big Wind choked on his words, and then fell silent.
Even the barbaric bird, which always seemed arrogant, shrank its head as if it hadn’t heard anything.
“Hehe, as long as you’re happy, kid.” In the end, the Cyclone bird gave a bitter smile and didn’t say more.
The group continued to move towards the extreme south.
Along the way, Xu Ke kept asking the Cyclone bird for information.
“Senior, what is this Monster Grand Convention you mentioned earlier?”
The Cyclone bird didn’t want to answer, but couldn’t escape Xu Ke’s persisting questions.
So, it finally sighed and said quietly, “Not long ago, [Emperor One] announced to the world, he is calling a Monster Grand Convention.”
“Every demon beast group in the world must send a representative to attend at Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain.”
“It’s said to be a matter of life and death for the demon beast group, and this is going to be another important convention held by [Emperor One] in centuries.”
“Even those like [Green Divine Dragon], [Crimson Nine Head], and Zi Wuxou who seldom appear, are here.”
“The last time such an assembly occurred was for the trial of Emperor Tri-Moa…”
Big Wind stopped abruptly, his face slightly changing.
Li Fan and Xu Ke exchanged looks, understanding what it meant.
It seemed that even Emperor Tri-Moa faced serious consequences after having intensive contact with humans.
No wonder both monstrosities and Big Wind seemed extremely wary when it came to Emperor Tri-Moa.
However, it was quite clear that the trial against Emperor Tri-Moa didn’t succeed.
Otherwise, when Xu Ke took out the wooden box sealed with Emperor Tri-Moa, they wouldn’t exhibit such fearful reverence.
Bypassing this topic, Xu Ke asked Big Wind about many details regarding the demon beast group.
This included where they usually lived, how they got along with humans, their plans for the future, and how they viewed the Beast Taming Sect.
After the slip of the tongue, Big Wind was more cautious and only shared some trivial matters with Xu Ke.
Just like that, more than ten days passed.
Finally, the legendary Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain came into sight.
Far away, they saw a conical mountain piercing into the Sky Dome appeared out of nowhere where the sky meets the sea in a cyan and blue intersection.
It stood over the sea surface, as surreal as a mirage.
At the top of the mountain, there was a crown-like thick layer of pure white snow.
At the snow-covered top, a majestic city could vaguely be seen.
With sharp eyes, Li Fan saw that the Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain was the boundary of the Nanming Ocean.
It was an indescribable marvelous sight.
The boundless ocean came to an abrupt halt at this point.
Beyond it was a scene as dark as an abyss.
The Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain seemed like a boundary between light and darkness, reality and illusion.
Looking at dumbstruck Xu Ke, who was awed by the magnificent sights before him, Big Wind messaged in a somewhat self-satisfied way.
“How about that, never seen such a wonder before, right?”
“The so-called corner of the sea, the end of the world, the edge of the world, the origin of life; is our Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain.”
Big Wind was also full of emotion.
“It is said that the earliest demon beasts in the world appeared here and then spread to the entire world.”
“This is a sacred spot for all demon beasts that they must not profanely disrespect. Although you were sent by that great man, you cannot change your human nature, and hence they might not let you in.”
“Hehe, Big Wind is right. Even you, Little Black Bird, although you are of a demon beast identity, you have been tamed by humans and have become a life partnering Spirit Beast. You also don’t have the privilege to enter the Sacred Beast Mountain.” The barbaric bird, who had been quiet, suddenly regained its spirit.
It let out a weird cry, didn’t wait for Xu Ke’s response, and flapped its wings to form a white ray of light, headed straight for the far mountain peak.
But Xu Ke seemed oblivious, and casually shook the jade badge hanging on his chest.
“No problem, before setting off, Brother Lu Ya told me if there’s trouble, all I need is to show this badge.”
“Brother Lu Ya would definitely not harm me.”
“Little Green, catch up quickly!”
Big Wind was about to advise again but suddenly remembered something. The shock in his eyes was even more intense than when he sensed the aura of Emperor Tri-Moa.
Because it clearly saw, the jade badge that flashed before its eyes just now had the character “One” carved on it, which only demon beasts could understand.
The Big Wind bird finally remembered where it heard the name Lu Ya.
It was that person who, more than a decade ago, entered the Sacred Beast Mountain alone as a human and then managed to retreat safely.
