Chapter 494: Chapter 462: Origin of the Southern Wilderness Beast Tide

"It’s actually him."

Lu Ping’s gaze fell upon the Golden Core Ancestor beside Elder Jiang, and he quickly recognized the origin of this Golden Core Ancestor.

This person’s name is Li Taifeng, with the Daoist title of Ku Daoist.

This Ku Daoist, with his eighth-layer Golden Core Stage strength among the Golden Core Ancestors of Dubhe Institute, is also quite prominent.

In the early years, when Lu Ping was still alive, he had interacted with this Ku Daoist several times.

Back then, when he held the Sect Establishment Order to establish Cyan Mountain Sect, it was with Ku Daoist’s assistance that he founded the sect.

In any case, Ku Daoist had some contributions to the establishment of Cyan Mountain Sect.

This Dubhe Institute sent three Golden Core Ancestors to deal with the Southern Wilderness Beast Tide this time.

Such a lineup is already considerable.

After clarifying the situation on the Human Race Cultivator’s side, Lu Ping’s gaze then fell on the Demon Race side.

Four Golden Core-stage demon strongmen were gathered here.

These four Golden Core Demon Beasts had transformed into human form, and judging by their appearance, it was impossible to determine their original demon beast races.

Among them, one had a pair of crimson pupils and long hair of red, appearing as a youthful man with distinct features and a bizarre, attractive appearance.

If Zhang Daoxing were here, he would certainly recognize the red-haired youth as the Red-eyed Demon King he had once met.

The strength of the Red-eyed Demon King had, from the aura, reached the sixth-layer Golden Core.

Furthermore, the remaining three Golden Core Demon Kings consisted of two females and one male.

These two males and one female looked young, appearing to be in their twenties or thirties.

The two females boasted alluring, enchanting beauty that would inspire admiration in anyone who saw them.

This was easy to understand, after all; demon beasts transforming into the Human Race naturally wish to look attractive, so changing into a handsome or beautiful form wasn’t surprising at all.

However, the cultivation levels of these two Demon Race females were rather ordinary.

The purple-dressed female was at the third-layer Golden Core.

The silver-skirted female was at the second-layer Golden Core.

In contrast, the other black-robed Demon Race male had reached the seventh-layer Golden Core, showing quite a difference in strength.

The black-robed man wore a cold expression and continually glanced back and forth at Elder Jiang and Ku Daoist as though he could strike at any moment, marking him as a dangerous figure.

As Lu Ping was observing, the Red-eyed Demon King spoke up.

"Hmph, your Human Race’s tactics this time are indeed impressive, having now slaughtered over forty thousand of my people."

"If this fight continues, won’t my Demon Race people be exterminated by you!"

As he spoke, the Red-eyed Demon King wore a displeased expression and glared aggressively at Ku Daoist and Elder Jiang.

The other three Golden Core Demon Kings didn’t speak after the Red-eyed Demon King’s words but instead pondered, calculating how many demon beasts they lost under their command in this battle against the Human Race.

"Haha, Red Eyes, we’ve only cleared out a little over forty thousand demon beasts so far. According to the provisions of this agreement, we’re still a considerable way from reaching a million!"

Ku Daoist stated leisurely, smiling calmly in response to the Red-eyed Demon King’s complaint.

He wasn’t angry at all.

"Though not a million yet, how long has this battle been going on? Less than three months, and my Demon Race has already lost so many of our people."

At this point, the Red-eyed Demon King snorted a few times, "Now, looking at your Human Race, as far as I know, your losses amount to less than three thousand cultivators."

Without waiting for Ku Daoist or Elder Jiang to reply, the Red-eyed Demon King narrowed his eyes, saying: "Could it be that your Human Race is cheating, secretly strengthening your forces to severely damage my Demon Race’s vitality?"

"We agreed beforehand that the combat power dispatched by both sides shouldn’t vary too greatly."

"If your Human Race deploys stronger forces, secretly sending three to four thousand Crystallization Cultivators, or mobilizing several Golden Core Cultivators against my Demon Race, how could the two thousand tier-three elite citizens we dispatched be a match for you!"

The Red-eyed Demon King’s implication was evidently questioning Ku Daoist: had he violated the agreement and dispatched cultivators whose combat power exceeded the agreement?

Since the outbreak of the first Southern Wilderness Beast Tide, each subsequent Southern Wilderness Beast Tide was only initiated after joint discussions between the Southern Wilderness Demon Race and Lingxi State Cultivation Realm.

Due to the demon race’s strong reproduction ability, roughly every hundred years, the demon beast population outstripped what the Southern Wilderness Forest could provide for survival resources, leading to extreme scarcity in living space.

At this point, a large-scale reduction in demon beast numbers was needed to obtain survival space.

Because of this, the leaders of the Southern Wilderness Demon Race initially attempted to reasonably solve this problem,

by continuously expanding their territory.

This led to numerous demon beasts launching invasions towards the surrounding Human Race territories around the Southern Wilderness, including towns, mountains, wilderness, and hills, seeking to claim these lands from the Human Race.

When faced with demon beast invasions, Human Race cultivators naturally fought back.

But, given the sheer numbers of the demon beasts, prolonged combat caused severe losses for both the demon race’s beast numbers and the Human Race cultivators.

The economy and stability of Lingxi State Cultivation Realm were profoundly affected after long-term conflict.

This caused prices of Lingxi State Cultivation Realm’s materials, magical artifacts, resources, and so forth to soar.

Finally, it was the two Nascent Soul Old Monsters from Dubhe Institute who took action, advancing all the way to the center of the Southern Wilderness Forest, confronting the then-current Southern Wilderness Demon Emperor for several days, before negotiating.

To protect the ecological stability of the Southern Wilderness and safeguard Human Race territories and development, the Southern Wilderness Demon Race and Lingxi State Cultivation Realm reached an agreement.

With the Southern Wilderness Demon Race refraining from proactively invading Human Race territory or waging war in Human Race lands, once every century, they would launch a large-scale Beast Tide against Lingxi State Cultivation Realm.

Through this Beast Tide, the Southern Wilderness Demon Race could effectively reduce demon beast numbers with the help of Human Race Cultivators, thus stabilizing the living resources in the Southern Wilderness Forest.

Meanwhile, the Human Race side would also benefit similarly.

In the process of combating the Beast Tide, the slain demon beasts would belong to the Human Race, granting substantial demon beast resources to Lingxi State Cultivation Realm for refining magical artifacts and elixirs, consumption, talisman making, and more.

Especially independent cultivators, such as those from Nine Cold Mountain’s Independent Cultivator Alliance, who could earn a significant amount of Spirit Stones through the Southern Wilderness Beast Tide, securing better cultivation resources.

Likewise, sect or family cultivators could temper themselves and hone their resolve through combating demon beasts.

For both the Southern Wilderness Demon Race and Lingxi State Cultivation Realm, the Southern Wilderness Beast Tide battle brought benefits to both sides.

And for these reasons, the tradition of a Southern Wilderness Beast Tide battle occurring every century continues to this day.
