Chapter 334 The Longer You Live, the More You Know
Lu Liufeng pursed his lips and pushed the chair forward for the female master.
"It is indeed a bit small."
Duan Si: "Lu Liufeng, Nafier, and I still need to do supernatural power training to reach the Earth Rank as soon as possible. You guys can start making the furniture first."
Mu Ling also wanted to reach the Earth Rank as soon as possible, but unfortunately he was only at the early stage of the fourth major rank.
Moreover, for some reason, his ability improvement progressed very slowly starting from the late stage of the third major stage.
After reaching the fourth major stage with the help of the Sea Pearl, the rate of improvement slowed down even further.
At the same time, he discovered that Haizu's power pressure could not make his power solidify much.
Therefore, there is no objection to making furniture.
Hollen then spoke.
"I've already cut down a lot of wood suitable for making furniture, and it's piled up outside. We can use it directly tomorrow."
Jiang Xi was embarrassed about kicking Hai Zu earlier, but Huo Lun's thin appearance pulled her out of her embarrassment.
She held it in all night, but still couldn't resist.
"What happened after you came back? How did you end up like this?"
Originally, she wanted to avoid Haizu and Haixia and discuss this matter privately.
But Hai Zu is a Heavenly Rank cultivator, so whether she avoids him or not makes no difference. Even if she unleashes her domain, a fourth-rank domain cannot stop her.
So, after thinking it over, Jiang Xi finally asked the question.
If it's related to Fengshan or Nightmare, Haizu might be able to offer some help.
Mu Ling had been holding back all night, and seeing the female master speak, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Are they those guys from Fengshan and Nightmare Swamp?"
His words made everyone look up from their food and turn to look at Hollen.
They knew that Fengshan and Nightmare Swamp had arrived at the tribe, and they also knew that they frequently traveled to the Cursed Lands. The fact that they hadn't come looking for them yet meant that they were probably still in the Cursed Lands.
Hollen smiled, looking relaxed.
Just as he was about to speak, Cecilia glanced at him and casually asked.
"Has the golden element of the Golden Lion Clan been stripped from your body?"
Hollen paused for a moment, then nodded.
He looked at the female master with his turquoise lion eyes, his voice tinged with trepidation.
"Without the gold element, there is no golden scale armor, which symbolizes the bloodline talent of the Golden Lion Clan."
He stared at her intently.
“I have returned the gold to the Golden Lion Clan. Now I have nowhere to go. Mistress, can you let me stay and not send me away?”
Jiang Xi was still a little angry, thinking that he had been bullied and his metal element had been forcibly stripped away.
But when she heard it was "returned," she was stunned.
Suddenly, she recalled the image of Hollen sitting on the wicker chair by the cliff of the royal court, saying that he wouldn't leave after he finished dealing with the Golden Lion Clan.
So, returning the golden nature and severing ties with the Golden Lion Clan of the Holy City is what he wants to do?
Jiang Xi's feelings were mixed.
All she could say was, "If you want to stay, then stay. This is our home, where we all live together."
Now that things have come to this, Mu Ling, Yi Yuexi, and Duan Si, who initially wanted to dissolve their marriage, are all staying. Does she really think she'll kick him out?
Cecilia spoke casually.
"The dragon race controls the metal element. After the dragon race became extinct, the metal element was originally an unclaimed thing in the world. Whoever can fuse with it will own it. Your lion race can become the Golden Lion race by using the metal element, and other beast races can also become Golden Wolves and Golden Leopards by using the metal element..."
As he spoke, he looked Hollen up and down a few times.
"You can even peel away the gold you've already got your hands on? I really don't know if you're a fool or an idiot."
"Without this golden essence, how easy will it be for you to break through to the Earth Rank in the future?"
Hollen met his gaze with neither humility nor arrogance.
"The Golden Lion Clan has raised me, and I cannot let them perish for my own selfish reasons."
The golden nature is the foundation of the Golden Lion Clan; as long as the golden nature exists, the Golden Lion Clan will exist forever.
Cecilia smirked, unconcerned.
"Do you think that traits are so easy to blend? Not to mention that the golden nature of your Golden Lion Clan comes from the Dragon Clan."
Although Jiang Xi felt somewhat awkward around Cecilia, she couldn't help but admire her. As expected of an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, she knew everything.
He rattled off all the information she had painstakingly learned, as easily as reciting a menu.
Compared to becoming stronger, everything else is insignificant.
Jiang Xi looked over with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Does anything in this world still possess the characteristic of being ownerless?"
Who knows, Hollen might be able to fuse another one?
Cecilia: "..."
The moment he met her sparkling eyes, he knew what she was up to.
"Do you think the special characteristics are like the fish and shrimp in the river, which can be found everywhere?"
"After the ancestral beasts disappeared from the world, only pure-blooded dragons, phoenixes, and qilin could be born with special characteristics. However, in the current beastman continent, there are no longer any of these three pure-blooded races."
"However, over the millennia, various races have also found ways to preserve their unique characteristics. By using special methods to refine the bones of ancestral beasts, dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, they can confuse their characteristics, deceive heaven and earth, and then find beastmen from their races who can accommodate their characteristics to strengthen the beast race's power."
As he spoke, he looked at Yi Yuexi.
"There should be a hyena tribe next to your Nine-Tailed Tribe."
"Several hundred years ago, the wind lions who controlled the wind on the Star Sea Plains were killed, and the wind disappeared. Along with them, the hyena clan, which was subordinate to the wind lion clan, also disappeared."
"Everyone on the Beastman Continent is speculating that the Hyena Clan took away the Wind Essence, but they hid it for hundreds of years until they emerged a few decades ago. Now, some of their members have even reverted to their ancestral form and reached the Earth Rank. No matter how much other beastmen covet the Wind Essence, they can't take it from them anymore."
Jiang Xi blinked, her eyes brightening even more.
Wow, living a long time means you know everything!
This should really be told to Kylian and the others, what if they used to be from the Wind Lion Clan?
Now, the Wind Lion Clan is gone, and they've become the Wind Dog Clan?
Haizu's words opened up a new world for everyone.
For a moment, everyone pricked up their ears and listened intently.
Cecilia: "Special abilities are unclaimed; they're obtained by stealing. Whoever can steal them gets them."
He looked at Hollen.
"Your Golden Lion Clan hasn't produced a single Earth-rank cultivator for a hundred or two hundred years, has it?"
"But in the last one or two hundred years, your Golden Lion Clan has had orcs marrying the Holy Female, and their status is not low, so the major orc clans dare not have designs on the Golden Female."
"The situation on the Beastman Continent is currently volatile and chaotic. Originally, with the Golden Nature within you, you had the opportunity to reach the Earth Rank, allowing the Golden Lion Clan to regain its footing through strength. However, now that the Golden Lion Clan has left the Holy City, the Golden Nature has been stripped from your body..."
"...This is not safe."
As she spoke, Cecilia's lips curled into a smile.
"Water element is within me, so I won't die anytime soon. Haixia can't inherit it, but since the metal element is available..."
Cecilia looked towards Heccia.
"Haixia, the Golden Dragonfish, what do you think?"
Haixia looked bewildered. "Huh?"
Hollen: "..."
Jiang Xi: "..."
"This is not funny at all."
Her tone was dry and stiff.
Because she felt that Haizu was very likely to do such a thing.
She glanced at Mu Ling nervously.
Mu Ling comes from the Ancestral Forest. Although no special characteristics have been discovered yet, it is possible that he may possess some special characteristics...
Mu Ling scratched his head in confusion when he saw the female master looking over.
Then he belatedly realized that the place he came from might be Zulin.
Moreover, I've heard that the orcs from the Ancestral Forest are all Ancestral Beasts?
Aren't ancestral beasts supposed to possess special characteristics? But his speed ability... his displacement bloodline talent...
characteristic?
Does he have any special characteristics?
No.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Haixia quickly spoke up.
"Our ancestor was just joking."
Cecilia: "Haisia, the Sea of No Return, has achieved its current status not through kindness."
As he said this, his eyes turned cold, as if he had thought of something.
"As time goes by, the characteristics of the world will more or less fade away. Only the characteristics of the Boundless Sea and Phoenix Mountain are the most complete under the protection of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan respectively."
"So, even if you don't target other people's special characteristics, there are plenty of orcs who will target those who are good at swimming."
That's why he brought Haixia from afar for treatment.
The bloodline of the Dragonfish Clan is hard to discern. Haixia is one of the few people after him with the talent to break through to the Earth Rank in the future and fuse with the water-type Dragonfish Clan beastmen.
Furthermore, Haixia is a member of the royal family of the sea tribes. If he can become the heir beastman of the Boundless Sea, the sea will usher in unprecedented unity and peace, and there will be no internal strife like that of a thousand years ago, which caused the Boundless Sea to lose its dragon blood and be unable to truly transform into a dragon.
Hollen looked unwell.
But he also knew that changes in characteristics were common.
The Golden Lion Clan has possessed this characteristic for so many years that even the entire clan has been imbued with its golden traits.
Coupled with their exalted status in the Holy City, the Golden Lion Clan has lost their vigilance.
Hollen pursed his lips, raised his turquoise lion eyes, and stared directly at Haizu without fear.
"As a member of the Golden Lion Clan, I cannot take away the Golden Nature from my clan, but if the Golden Nature is taken away, I will definitely take it back."
He is a member of the Golden Lion Clan, and also a Holon who has gained the approval of the Golden Clan.
He must reclaim it, making it truly his, not... the Golden Lion Clan.
Cecilia gave a slight smile, a twitch at the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Xi was worried that if the topic of Jin Xing continued, they would start fighting, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Which other races possess unique characteristics?"
Hollen pursed his lips.
"Phoenix Mountain possesses the element of fire, the Giant Tree Forest possesses the element of wood, the element of water resides in the Boundless Sea, and the element of earth may be found in the Scorpion Tail Tribe..."
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"The Shadow Cat, Spotted Tiger, and Golden Lion Clan, all nine major clans of the Holy City, have already gone to the Scorpion Tail Tribe."
"The Spotted Tiger Clan wanted the Earth element, so they reached an agreement."
A hint of surprise flashed in Cecilia's eyes.
"The Earth element, missing for over a thousand years, is actually in the Scorpion Tail tribe?"
"The Cursed Land is truly a place where hidden talents reside."
Cecilia paused when she caught sight of Lu Liufeng out of the corner of her eye.
"Speaking of which, Lei Xing has been missing from Eagle Strait for many years. Looking at it this way, he might also be in the Cursed Land."
