Chapter 37: 37: Visiting His Birthplace

At some point of his journey, Ash checked the leather bag from Yue Yin. There, dozens of treasured Immortal Herbs were neatly placed inside a box, she thoroughly picked the herb to heal various maladies. Various Spirit Crystal of all sizes and quality were also thrown into the bag should he be in need for emergency Qi sources or to store his Qi for later use.

In all actuality, Ash really didn’t need those items since he still had plenty in his Storage Ring and he hadn’t the time to identify them all. However, he understood this gesture, and the meaning of each gift inside the leather bag, and he would not dare to betray her trust. Of course, it doesn’t mean that he was afraid of Yue Yin, but it is a matter of his dignity and decency as a man.

"Thank you, Yue’er. I love you too..." Ash quipped inwardly. He then put the leather bag into his Storage Ring.

The Western Region was very far from the Southern Region. Even the easternmost frontier of the Western Region would take him a month to reach by flying.

Even though he didn’t need to stop or worry about his luggage since everything was stored in the Storage Ring, Ash still loved to take a break to savor the otherworldly scenery before him.

Before long, he spotted the very mountain where he hatched two seasons ago. He still remembers perfectly the very crater where he nestled.

After he landed on the mountain’# peak, he then summoned Ye Yinghui and Shanguang outside so they could breathe some fresh mountain air.

"Woaahh! Look at those mountain ranges! Oh, look, the river is sooo long! I can’t even see the end!" Shanguang ran around as if she was in an amusement park.

Ye Yinghui, meanwhile, could already tell why he chose this place to rest for a bit. "My Lord, This place is..."

"Yes, this mountain is my birthplace." Ash answered solemnly.

"What happened to your parents, If I may ask?"

"Who knows?" Ash looked at the west sky. "My foster father, Tienxing, was murdered by a group of hunters from a certain sect. He sacrificed himself so I could live."

"Tienxing... it sounds very familiar in my ears."

"En. He was the mightiest eagle that ever lived on this mountain."

Before long, Ash heard a tribe of eagles screeching in the sky. There were dozens of them, flying lower and eventually landed on the same peak as him.

Shanguang immediately stood before her Master. Likewise, the Earth Drake was at the ready should a fight break out.

However, they immediately became timid and nervous upon sensing Ash’s tremendous aura pressure. They weren’t aware that the Phoenix whose size was only half compared to them was actually a Sky Rank Immortal Beast!

Furthermore, the Earth Drake who stood unassumingly in the back also has a terrifying aura around her whereas the young Ligress was very young yet veracious.

On the other hand, this tribe of young eagles were only 9th Stage Earth Rank at best. Offending this group of monsters would be very unwise.

One of the eagles walked closer, bowing his head low so as to not see the phoenix. The metal ring on his ankle was clanking as he stepped forward.

"I beg for your forgiveness, Senior. But, this peak is a sacrilegious site where our Chief died. We hereby beseech you to not desecrate this mountain."

"I will not do such a thing, for Uncle Tianxing was my foster parent."

The eagle who stepped forward was bewildered for a moment. And then, he remembered who this phoenix was. "Ah! I know you! You are the egg who Chief Tianxing saved!"

"Yes, that’s me." Ash nodded silently.

At first, Ash thought that the eagles would gang up on him for causing their Chief to be killed for saving him. However, they immediately welcomed him like their family.

"You survived?! Oh, by the Winds! This is truly a miracle!"

"We were so worried! I thought you were already dead."

"Indeed. We have been searching for you to the east yet to no avail. Those hairless monkeys patroles the region for days and nights ever since!"

"Come, come! Let’s talk inside..."

"Inside?"

"Yes! The new chief had decided that we need to live in the valley to avoid being hunted by those Cultivators and their hunters.

Ash then followed down to the valley. Once they arrived, Ash was fazed upon seeing so many wounded eagles as well as other Immortal Beasts who sought shelter in this enclosed spot. Shanguang and Ye Yinghui were silently listening to every conversation that happened in this place.

Ash was quite upset, Eagles should be able to roam the sky freely, spreading knowledge and wisdom to other regions. However, what he witnessed here is the total opposite!

According to various information that were gathered from the inhabitants of the forest, the City of Long River was the gateway if one wished to travel further inland. Only Cultivators are able to live outside the Protection Barrier of the city. The Western Region might have fallen into the hands of Cultivators and its resources were monopolized by the strong. However, the land itself is still far from being tamed and never will.

There are still a substantial number of powerful Immortal Beasts that still inhabited the land, and were under control of the powerful Martial Sect to keep their power in check.

In a sense, those immortal beasts had literally become a pet for those Cultivators or maybe a guard dog to protect the garden that they usurped from its rightful owners.

"What happened here?" He asked sternly.

"They are survivors who are able to flee from the Cultivators during the hunt." Said the Eagle. "After that day, this mountain was always in constant watch of the Kunlun Sect. They are looking for something, or perhaps a very rare and unique Immortal Beast..."

At this moment, Ash’ sharp senses tingling on their ends. He felt some insanely dangerous killing intent was being projected at him.

"Everybody! He’s here! Go get him!"
