Chapter 97: "Da Xia Cage". _4
There was a sense of solitude like that of a sanctuary far from the bustling Cultivation World.
...
Under the night sky.
On the edge of the Endless Desert near Xuzhou.
A brown bear standing about nine feet tall, its fur mottled with white spots, was now giving orders for his fellow Bear Clan members to plant Spirit Rice deep in the desert. Several larger brown bears heeded the command, burying the Spirit Rice seeds in the sand, then watering them with bear urine, considering that sufficient irrigation.
The night temperature in the desert was significantly lower, so the bear urine wasn't instantly absorbed by the scalding grains of sand, but it didn't seem like an effective way to water the crops either.
"Son,"
a larger brown bear stood next to the one with spotted fur and said in human speech with a deep voice, "You can't grow Spirit Rice in the desert, your plan is doomed to fail."
"I understand your wish to unite the 'Brown Bear Clan' and lead them out of the desert to fertile and rich lands,"
"but..."
"you really can't grow Spirit Rice in the desert."
"Father,"
the younger, seemingly not fully grown brown bear with a strange gleam in his eyes, grinned broadly and said, "I told you a long time ago that only by uniting can the Devil Clan stand against Da Xia Country, do you remember?"
"I remember, but the Devil Clan will never be united,"
"They are destined and also must unite. All Devil Clan members actually realize that we must come together to withstand Da Xia and set foot on that fertile and cool land."
The young brown bear's voice revealed fatigue, "But just as you have tried, Father, it's impossible for the Devil Clan to unite due to various historical issues."
"So, I need to create a miracle for the Devil Clan, a big enough miracle to unite us, at least to unite the 'Brown Bear Clan.'"
"Alright..."
This sturdy bear, seemingly the strongest among them, shook his huge head, "Since your were little, you've been more insightful than the rest of our clan. Perhaps you truly have a way, let's do as you say."
"But I can be certain of one thing, Spirit Rice will absolutely not grow in the desert."
"Especially not with bear urine."
Then he turned and walked away, starting to knock lazy clan members with his bear paws.
After his father left,
the young brown bear stood up, face full of resolve and absent-mindedness, gazing toward the lands of Xuzhou in Da Xia Country, hidden beneath clouds and exuding a sweet fragrance.
A few months ago, he had transmigrated. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the body of this brown bear.
From initial discomfort to gradual adaptation, he grew used to this powerful body.
'Brown Bear Clan', all newborns fell to the ground with the Cultivation of the Qi Refinement Fourth Stage and naturally reached the peak of Qi Refinement upon maturity, with a bit of cultivation they could break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Experience exclusive tales on empire
He was now at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm and still had four months until adulthood.
And by then, he would be a formidable brown bear.
Moreover, he had a pretty good entry.
-
'Entry name': Bloody Claws.
'Entry level': Green.
'Entry effect': Your beast claws will become sharper and harder, and will improve as your Cultivation strengthens.
-
This entry made his beast claws extremely sharp.
At first, he thought he was the only one with this entry, a special advantage from crossing over, which he kept secret and revealed to no one, almost leading his father to consider him a Heavenly Dao outcast without an awakened entry, one who should be killed and served as roast meat.
In a panic, he revealed his entry and managed to save his life.
Only then did he learn that every member of the Devil Clan could randomly obtain an entry during the Qi Refinement Realm. Every time they broke through to a new Great Realm starting with Foundation Establishment, they could choose one of two random entries.
The Human Race followed the same rules.
Except that humans could choose from three random entries.
He once asked his father, the Clan Leader of this Brown Bear Clan.
His father shook his head indicating that he didn't know and said it had always been this way.
