Chapter 2996: Pilgrimage to Beast Emperor Mountain, Power of Belief
This trip to the Northern Continent, besides the Ice and Fire Secret Realm, was also to visit Little Five's home.
Little Five had been away for a long time and was a bit homesick.
After all, Lin Moyu had taken Little Five away. Although it wasn't his initiative, it was still because of him, so he should at least greet Little Five's clan members.
Soul Progenitor Beasts were different from ordinary spirit beasts. Each Soul Progenitor Beast had intelligence, unlike other spirit beasts where only some in a clan had intelligence while others didn't.
Besides this, he could also bring Little Moon and Little Mist to tour the Northern Continent and see its local customs.
Experience was also very important for a cultivator.
The reason Little Mist could cultivate so quickly was inseparable from her countless years of spirit life.
Over tens of thousands of years, Little Mist had seen all kinds of people and heard all sorts of things from them.
What seemed useless at the time would become accumulation and foundation at certain moments.
Little Five happily led the way for Lin Moyu. Her home was still very far from here. At their speed, it would take at least a few months to get there.
Lin Moyu wasn't in a hurry. He just walked slowly, measuring the land of the Northern Continent.
At Little Mist's strong insistence, their group gained another member.
Little Ox, who had been living leisurely for many years, was forcibly pulled out by Little Mist to become the mount for the three.
Little Ox was forced to grow larger so that Little Mist and the other two could sit comfortably on top.
Even if Little Ox had complaints about this, he didn't dare voice them. He couldn't afford to offend any of these three young misses.
Although Little Ox was lazy, his cultivation had been increasing over the years.
As Lin Moyu's servant, he enjoyed the vast fortune brought by Lin Moyu. Even without actively cultivating, his cultivation would increase automatically.
Without realizing it, Little Ox's cultivation had reached the Celestial Venerable realm. Although only a low-level Celestial Venerable, he was still a Celestial Venerable.
When Little Ox broke through to Celestial Venerable, he was so happy he jumped and danced, his four hooves moving like flowers.
Becoming a Celestial Venerable was more than just bringing glory to his ancestors; it was enough to make him an ancestor himself.
In their ancestral lineage, there had never been a Celestial Venerable before.
He was now the strongest existence in his entire race.
For this reason, Little Ox decided to find a group of female oxen to continue his bloodline.
For a while, when Little Mist, Little Moon, and Little Five were playing together and not paying attention to Little Ox,
Little Ox took the opportunity to go to the great world and find many female oxen.
Now, he was already the father of many little oxen. His ox life was complete, and his temperament had matured a lot.
Lin Moyu asked, "Little Ox, do you have any other aspirations?"
Little Ox thought for a moment, "I now have 467 female oxen. I plan to find another 532 to make it 999 in total."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Why not make it an even 1000?"
Little Ox shook his big head, "My bloodline inheritance tells me that anything full will diminish. Everything should leave a little room, so 999 is good."
"It seems your bloodline inheritance is quite good," Lin Moyu said softly.
Little Ox continued shaking his head, "It seems my bloodline can be traced back to the beginning of the great world's creation."
Little Ox's bloodline was very ancient, so ancient that it existed at the beginning of the great world's creation.
In Lin Moyu's view, the earliest bloodlines at the beginning of the great world's creation should have come from the Primordial Realm.
In other words, Little Ox's bloodline might have come along with the Primordial Realm.
Because the origin of the Primordial Realm was unknown, it was impossible to trace further back.
It's possible that the ox bloodline might be even more ancient.
From what could be seen now, Little Ox's potential was very strong, far surpassing ordinary cosmic giant beasts in the great world.
So Little Ox had cultivated all the way to Celestial Venerable without encountering any bottlenecks.
The scenery in the beast race territory was quite nice, with beautiful mountains and waters, quite different from the Eastern and Southern Continents.
Little Mist and the other two were laughing and chatting happily along the way.
After walking for most of the day, they finally emerged from the forest to see a vast plain before them.
Little Mist suddenly pointed into the distance, "What's that?"
In the direction she was pointing, hundreds of kilometers away, was a towering mountain that reached into the clouds.
On the mountain, a straight path led directly to the summit.
On the mountain path, countless beasts were moving forward.
They walked and stopped, and some beasts even knelt down, as if in worship.
As a native of the Northern Continent, Little Five explained, "They seem to be going on a pilgrimage."
Little Mist asked curiously, "What's a pilgrimage?"
Little Five said, "It's going to worship the Beast Emperor. I'm not too clear on the specifics."
Little Five was, after all, just a spirit beast.
At this moment, Lin Moyu learned from the Human Emperor in the great world what a pilgrimage was.
"Across the entire Northern Continent, there are twelve Beast Emperor Mountains, each with a statue of the Beast Emperor on top."
"Almost every moment, there are large numbers of beasts going to the Beast Emperor Mountains to worship the Beast Emperor. This is called a pilgrimage."
Lin Moyu explained, and Little Five and the others understood.
The beasts on the Northern Continent were countless, and the twelve Beast Emperor Mountains were always overcrowded year-round.
The number of those going to worship at the top of the Beast Emperor Mountains was incalculable.
Moreover, climbing the Beast Emperor Mountain was not allowed by flying; one could only climb step by step, and there was only one path up the mountain.
This also led to the climbing path of the Beast Emperor Mountain being extremely crowded.
In Lin Moyu's view, the so-called pilgrimage was actually collecting the power of belief.
The Beast Emperor used the twelve Beast Emperor Mountains to collect the power of belief from all the beasts across the entire Northern Continent.
Lin Moyu could even sense that threads of belief power were flowing from the top of the Beast Emperor Mountain towards the Snowy Wind Mountain Range.
The belief power would pass through the Snowy Wind Mountain Range and finally enter the Beast Emperor Palace, becoming the Beast Emperor's power.
There was nothing to criticize about the Beast Emperor's method.
In the former great world, the various Human Saints also collected belief power.
Even today, in various locations in the great world, there were statues of themselves, continuously providing belief power.
Now his own belief power was as vast as the sea, uncountable.
Belief power must be useful, very useful, but he didn't know how to utilize it yet.
He only knew how to burn belief power to enhance techniques.
Moreover, there were no materials on how to use belief power in the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce.
It seemed that to truly make good use of belief power, he still needed some opportunity.
If there was a chance, he could ask the Beast Emperor.
Little Five kept pointing out directions, and the group continued forward, crossing mountains and ridges. After ten days, they finally saw a beast race city.
This city was very large, not as delicate-looking as human cities, with seven parts wildness and full of beast race characteristics.
In the center of the city, a huge palace was very eye-catching, visible from a hundred kilometers away.
Over these days, Lin Moyu had read through the beast race materials. Based on the city's characteristics and their location, he knew which clan this city belonged to.
Lin Moyu said, "This is the city of the Lightning Purple-Striped Tigers."
Little Mist immediately picked up Lin Moyu's words, "I know, the Lightning Purple-Striped Tigers are one of the royal clans of the beast race."
Lin Moyu thought of Lei Hao, "Since we're here, let's go in and take a look."
