In the northeast of the Fengyun Continent was an endless forest, where all kinds of Magical Beasts lived. In all the historical records of the continent, no one had ever crossed this magical beast forest. Therefore, many adventurers tried to pass through this forest. Generation after generation, there were adventurers who went in, but very few people came back alive.
According to the records, there was a river in this forest called the Heavenly River. Some people also called it the River of Death. The meaning was that crossing this river was equivalent to stepping into the domain of death. With the river as the dividing line, the south side of the river was the periphery. There were very few high-level magic beasts (high-level magic beasts all had intelligence), and they were generally below grade-6. Occasionally, he would see level seven or eight, but he had never seen level nine.
When a magical beast reached the ninth rank, it was said that it could speak human language and possessed human-like intelligence. It was so powerful that even a peak expert like the Golden Fighter Magister would find it difficult to fight against it, let alone capture a grade-9 magic beast. Beyond grade-9, one would be a beast god. Beast gods seemed to be only a legend.
To the west of the Magical Beast Forest was a natural mountain range of death. It was said that it was the result of the Mythological War. It was filled with all kinds of vengeful spirits and had no vitality. No one dared to walk into the center of the mountain range. On the west side of the mountain range, which was the western region of the Fengyun Continent, was a huge mountain range. The mountain range was continuous and steep.
However, in this beautiful mountain range, there was a forest near the center where the elves lived. Further in the mountain range was where the dwarves and beastmen lived. In these areas, species were rare, so the dwarves and beastmen had a hard time living. Moreover, due to the humans 'hunting of the alien races, they could only protect themselves in the harsh environment of the west. They could not speed up the production of crops with intelligent creatures like humans.
Other than the Elf Clan, Dwarf Clan, and Half-Beast Clan, there was also the incomparably powerful Dragon Clan. It was said that they used to be the rulers of this continent, but due to their reproductive ability, after many wars, this defect became more and more obvious. Finally, they couldn't withstand the losses of the war and withdrew from the ruling position of the continent. The entire dragon race lived in seclusion in a valley called the Dragon Valley. However, very few people knew where it existed. Even if they knew, they did not dare to explore it. The powerful dragon race was enough to kill any invaders. As time passed, the dragon race seemed to become more and more of a legend.
In the Magical Beast Forest, mercenaries who came to capture prey, cultivators who came to increase their strength, or adventurers who came to explore were often seen. However, unless there was a special reason or a particularly powerful person, they generally wouldn't enter the core area. In fact, very few people would even enter the River of Death.
For the past five years, every morning, when the light of the morning sun shone on the Magical Beast Forest and the sunlight shone through the thick fog of the Heavenly River, a young man would start to practice chopping, slashing, and stabbing by the river with a sword in hand. After he finished practicing with the sword, he would practice all kinds of magic. From the release of his magic, his ability to control his magic power, and the speed of his recitation, it was hard to believe that a twelve-year-old child could do this. Moreover, he was a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts.
The person watching him from afar was a man in his fifties. Upon closer inspection, the shocking thing was that this man was actually the Fire Clan's Salan Yan, the man who had single-handedly repelled an army of five hundred thousand. Beside this man stood a dignified middle-aged man. He was dressed in noble clothes and naturally exuded an imperial aura. He was the current emperor of the Yunye Empire, Louis. The Night Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is extremely talented and quick-witted. His future achievements are limitless! He didn't expect such an expert to cough so badly.
"Minister Salan, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The injuries from that battle have yet to recover. "If you hadn't resisted the army by yourself back then, I'm afraid…" A hint of concern appeared in the eyes of such a dignified person.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! Credenaran, worthy of being a golden warrior, a legend in the army…cough…if it wasn't for luck, it would have been very difficult for me to win. Even if I win, I've been injured too heavily. Now that my strength has been damaged, I'm afraid that the next time I fight…"
"If it wasn't for the fact that you've just finished casting the forbidden spell and your mana has been depleted, how could he defeat you with the strength of a Gold Magus who broke through the Extreme Earth Wall? Fortunately, with you in charge, the Yunye Empire can be stable for ten years. If the outside world knows that your strength has been damaged, I'm afraid war will break out again.”
"My strength has been severely injured, and I'm sure that Credenalan knows about it. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hide the fact that my strength has been damaged for long! Your Majesty, I place all my hopes on the Ninth Prince Hai Tian! But, how many more years would it take for a twelve-year-old child to break through the Extreme Earth Wall and enter the ranks of the peak experts? Perhaps he would never be able to break through MCMAU's extreme wall.
"Humph! After ten years of development, our country's national strength has also strengthened. It's not that easy to deal with.”Louis the Great looked at the children practicing in the distance and said,""Although his talent is excellent, he is still far from reaching your level. Perhaps it would be difficult to achieve it in his entire life!”
" Then why did Your Majesty…" He looked at Louis the Great's face and did not continue asking. He just shook his head and sighed.
"Minister Salan, please follow me back to the palace. The situation on the continent is very unstable right now. You've been out for so long that it's time for you to go back and show your face. If you don't go back now, I'm afraid there will be changes. Let this child cultivate on his own! I'll wait for you in front…" After saying that, he left without even looking back at his child.
"It's a pity that he was born into an imperial family! Prince Haitian had been cultivating in such a dangerous place since he was seven years old. Five years later, he had unexpectedly left home to cultivate on his own. Was this the ruthlessness of the imperial family?”Salan thought sadly in his heart, but he could not change anything. After five years together, he had already treated Prince Haitian as his own child.
"Little Tian, this is all I can teach you. He didn't expect that five years would pass in the blink of an eye. Time really flew by! I've taught you all my theoretical knowledge and experience. In the future, you'll have to depend on yourself to develop further.”
"Uncle Yan, are you leaving? Don't you want me anymore? Can't you take me with you? Why?" The child asked in surprise, his tone carrying a sobbing tone.
Looking at the tears in the child's eyes, Nalan really wanted to stay and tell him the reason. Unfortunately, he did not say anything. "You will understand in the future!" But thinking about it, she couldn't bear to hurt him too much, so she said,"Little Tian, remember a few things. In the future, don't tell your name or where your home is. Also, you should practice well here. I'll pick you up here in three years. This is your training. You can only surpass Uncle Yan if you continue on your own! Do you know?"
Although the determined child's mind was full of questions and he was very reluctant, he could only nod. He looked at Uncle Yan and asked softly,"
"Uncle Yan, are you really coming to pick me up in three years?”
"Really? When the time comes, I'll test the results of your cultivation. Don't be lazy!”
"Got it!" He nodded vigorously. With tears in his eyes, he looked at this uncle who had told him everything in the world and accompanied him for five years.
Nalan Yan looked at him and sighed again. His eyes revealed a trace of reluctance, care, and love. He opened his mouth to say something, but he did not say it. His eyes were filled with determination as he turned around and walked away step by step.
The child looked at Uncle Yan's back as he left. It was becoming more and more blurry. He did not know if it was because the back was far away that he could not see clearly, or if his tears had blurred his vision. He looked around blankly, at the sky, at the ground, and rubbed his eyes. He was still very confused. He stood there for a long time…
" Gulp…Gulp…" Her stomach made a sound unknowingly.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go kill a magical beast first and eat our fill.”The child waved his arms and started to search for the magical beasts.
