Chapter 867: The Legend of the Celestial Wolf Devouring the Moon, Daughter of the Phoenix Race_2

However, no one knows when it began.

The Celestial Wolf Race started to rise.

The Celestial Wolf, also known as the Celestial Dog or the Devouring Wolf.

Their bloodline is strong and noble.

Their cultivation follows the Path of Taiyin, similar to the Jade Rabbit.

And from a certain day long ago.

The strongest of the Jade Rabbit Race was devoured by the Celestial Wolf in the sky.

The Celestial Wolf Great Saint proved his Dao.

The Jade Rabbit Race thus fell into complete decline.

That day, the sky held the roundest and brightest full moon.

Yet the Celestial Wolf devoured the moon bit by bit.

This phenomenon turned into a myth that was passed down.

Named “Celestial Wolf Devouring the Moon.”

It is rumored that the Celestial Wolf Race is not only adept at the Path of Taiyin, but also at the Path of Devouring, possessing a certain lineage of the Taotie.

Thus, some say that the Celestial Wolf Race might also devour the Golden Crow Race, which is as renowned as the Jade Rabbit.

Named “Celestial Wolf Devouring the Sun.”

But this is unlikely.

Because the strongest of the Golden Crow Race, the Golden Crow Great Saint, alone could crush the entire Celestial Wolf clan.

However, the Golden Crow Race apparently paid no heed to the Jade Rabbit, a race that once matched their own.

The legend of the Celestial Wolf Devouring the Moon is embedded in the bloodline of every Celestial Wolf.

When a Celestial Wolf devours a Jade Rabbit, their cultivation can greatly increase, even purifying their bloodline.

For the Celestial Wolf, no natural treasure compares to a single Jade Rabbit.

The vast Jade Rabbit Race was hunted to near extinction.

Now, there are no longer any large groups of Jade Rabbits on the continent.

Only a few scattered remnants of their bloodline remain across the land.

In the Celestial Wolf Race, the Jade Rabbit has become a legendary opportunity.

Countless Celestial Wolves dream of encountering a pure-blooded Jade Rabbit.

And nowadays, the Jade Rabbit can only rely on its scattered bloodline across the continent to revert to its ancestors.

“But the probability of this is very, very small.”

“Unexpectedly, there is one in Ghost Ridge.”

Biran paused slightly as she spoke.

Only to see Zhao Fu staring coldly at those beside her.

Seemingly contemplating silencing them.

Biran sensed that he genuinely had this thought.

She quickly said, “Of course, everyone present is my trusted confidant, and I will not allow this information to be spread by us.”

“Everyone, make the Phoenix Heart Oath.”

“This oath is made under the witness of the Ancestor Phoenix, and we cannot break it.”

Zhao Fu’s expression softened.

“Miss Biran, this time I owe you a favor.”

Zhao Fu gripped more firmly.

Pressing down on the trembling rabbit.

“What are you afraid of? At worst, I’ll turn you into a ghost too. Can those Celestial Wolves come to the Netherworld to find me?”

Zhao Fu sneered.

Yu Lin finally relaxed.

This kind of fear ingrained in the bloodline is entirely instinctual.

No matter how strong Yu Lin’s will is, she would still feel fear.

“However, I noticed that Yu Lin seems to have awakened a gift related to vitality.”

“She hasn’t shown much of the Ultimate Yin Attribute.”

Biran shook her head.

“The Demon Race is bloodline-focused.”

“However, the Great Dao is fifty, the Celestial Derivation is forty-nine.”

“The Demon Race has a slim chance to revert and purify their bloodline to match the great races.”

“But this is very difficult.”

“Although Miss Yu is reverting to the Jade Rabbit, the bloodline through which Jade Rabbit descendants revert is uncertain.”

“If the Ghost King is willing, he can seek some pure Ultimate Yin Objects to activate Miss Yu’s bloodline.”

Zhao Fu nodded upon hearing this.

He also glanced at Biran.

No need to overthink, judging by her tone, she too is likely a reverted bloodline.

To revert into a Cyan Simurgh is also impressive.

Such a person is already far stronger than a Celestial Pride born in the great races.

“Miss Biran, this is definitely a friendship worth keeping.”

“Getting to know Brother Zhao is Biran’s luck.”

Both sides engaged in a wave of mutual praise.

Then proceeded to trading.

The resources needed by the other party are almost impossible to find in the living world.

But in the Netherworld, they are just slightly precious natural treasures.

With countless ghosts helping to search.

In just three days, Zhao Fu brought the resources Biran needed.

Biran also left behind a large amount of Spirit Stones and some precious Phoenix Race resources.

Both sides were very satisfied.

“Miss, about that Ghost King.”

The Phoenix Race group had left Ghost Ridge for quite some time.

One of the four from the Phoenix Race asked with some puzzlement.

Biran’s expression turned icy.

In Zhao Fu’s eyes, Biran seemed very agreeable.

A good friend to have.

But to the few from the Phoenix Race, it was different.

Because Biran usually seemed like an ice-cold woman.

Rarely engaging in conversation with others.

Biran seemed to see through their dynamics.

“You still haven’t spent enough time with me.”

“I don’t dislike making friends, I just like making useful friends.”

Biran’s eyes burned with fire.

A fire called ambition.

“The position of Phoenix Maiden represents the purification of bloodline.”

“A Phoenix Maiden with a purified bloodline placed in the Dragon Race would be an extremely rare Celestial Pride Level True Dragon.”

“Destined even to be a Great Saint.”

“However, there is only one position of Phoenix Maiden.”

“And only I can obtain this position.”

“Climbing step by step from below, I will climb to the very top!”

“Anyone who blocks me, I will make them, die!”

Biran closed her eyes.

Reopening them, the fire of ambition in her eyes almost vanished.

“That Ghost King Zhao Fu, not from any great race.”

“But since Houtu established the Netherworld, the Ghost Race is an extremely unique race.”

“With the Land of the Netherworld as their foundation, they might be able to rival the Demon and Witch Races in the future.”

The Ghost Race is too unique.

Or perhaps, some might argue that classifying them as a race is simply nonsense.

Aside from the Witch Race, any race with a soul could potentially become a ghost after death.

“The Land of the Netherworld doesn’t care about bloodline.”

“Before he died, it didn’t matter if he was human or demon.”

“The most crucial thing is, in this area of the Netherworld, a place hard for many great races to intrude, the other side has developed such power.”

“In a few thousand years, he might become a true significant figure.”

The Land of the Netherworld was created by the Ancestral Witch.

Yet the Witch Race’s Primordial Spirits are fused with their flesh.

They almost cannot become ghosts after death.

Among the Demon Race, many with strong Divine Souls can become ghosts.

But the great demon races cannot become the puppet masters in the realm controlled by the Ancestral Witch.

Without these puppet masters.

The ghosts in this ghostly treasure land of endless opportunities are growing wildly.

Perhaps in a millennium, the Ghost Race will have a perfect system and order.

Biran’s expression turned calm.

Or perhaps, she came to Ghost Ridge not just for resources, but driven by reputation, wanting to meet this famed Ghost King.

………

“Biran? Quite impressive.”

Zhao Fu stood with hands behind his back, clad in white, gazing into the distance in the gusting wind.

“Phoenix Race? After all, my Ghost Ridge is still on the territory of the Demon Race. It wouldn’t hurt to know a powerful friend from the Demon Race.”

Zhao Fu’s interests do not conflict with Biran’s; in fact, they can mutually benefit, becoming natural allies.

Zhao Fu looked at his palm.

In his hand was a Flying Bird Pendant made of white stone.

“Hundred Birds Pendant? Quite bold.”

Although Biran borrowed the plumage of a borrowed flower from Que San to obtain this,

Such an artifact capable of greatly restricting the lower and Flying Bird Races of the Phoenix Race holds special significance within the Phoenix Race.

If word spreads that Biran gifted this artifact to Zhao Fu,

it might stir some trouble within the Phoenix Race.

Additionally, Zhao Fu might be hunted by the Phoenix Race.

Thus, this artifact holds leverage over both parties.

Of course, once Zhao Fu grows strong, the Phoenix Race wouldn’t provoke a strongman over such matters.

Similarly, once Biran becomes strong, the Phoenix Race wouldn’t be concerned with such trivialities.

As for now, this artifact is just a rather good Artifact.
