173: The first stop is the Fengshan place!

"Boss, can we go out now?"

Seeing Xia Fan's actions, all the fierce beasts were eager to try, especially Ta Mu, who excitedly asked, "We've been cooped up for so many days, it's driven us all crazy. Now we can finally relax."

"Yeah, everyone wants to see this new world after the changes."

Beside him, Mermaid Nami also nodded in agreement, "I didn't realize it before, but ever since my phone lost internet, I understood how boring life could be."

"Hehe, you guys..."

Xia Fan smiled wryly and shook his head, then said seriously, "Before we set off, there are some things I think are necessary to say, to make you understand."

At these words, all the fierce beasts became serious, listening attentively.

He continued, "Now, the Era of Great Strife has begun, and opportunities are everywhere. Those who are fortunate enough to seize an opportunity can soar to great heights!"

"However, you also need to understand that opportunities often come with danger."

"Only with courage and meticulousness can you carve out a future for yourselves in this Era of Great Strife!"

After speaking, Xia Fan waited patiently, giving the fierce beasts time to think.

This time, he did not stop the fierce beasts from staying in Yunxia Mountain, relying on his protection for steady growth, as this would be unfair to all of them.

Moreover, without experiencing danger, how could one become a true powerhouse, contending with humans, with fierce beasts, and with the great era?

"My King, I still want to go out and see."

Soon after, Ta Mu was the first to make a decision, "Although I've been idle in Yunxia Mountain these past few days, I've also thought a lot during this time, and I feel it's necessary to see this brand new world."

"Is our cultivation just to stay in one place forever, ensuring safety?"

"My King, I want to go out too!"

"And me, My King..."

One after another, all the fierce beasts expressed their attitudes, which greatly pleased Xia Fan.

He waved his hand and threw out two beams of light, which quickly shot out and then hovered in front of the fierce beasts. Xia Fan's voice also came out at this moment, "Yuan Dali, this Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is yours."

"I hope you can use the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi to forge a future!"

"This Banana Fan, I'll give it to Jin Ling. Make good use of it!"

"Thank you, My King!"

The two fierce beasts who were called out were instantly overjoyed, happily accepting their respective treasures and eagerly trying to get familiar with them.

Xia Fan watched all this but did not stop them.

These two extra magical artifacts, if kept by him, would only gather dust. But now, Yuan Dali and Jin Ling were both at the mid-to-late Fourth Stage, strong enough to forcibly control these two magical artifacts and make them recognize them as masters.

Even though the original masters of these two magical artifacts were still alive.

Moreover, this could be considered a safeguard for his subordinates and an encouragement for the other fierce beasts.

With Yuan Dali and Jin Ling obtaining treasures, the other fierce beasts all showed envious expressions, their hearts itching.

They all wanted to have their own magical artifacts. Ta Mu even sidled up to Yuan Dali, rubbing his hands and excitedly asking, "Let me touch it?"

"Just one touch!"

"Alright!"

Xia Fan looked around, and seeing all the fierce beasts eager to try, he directly announced loudly, "Follow me, the King, and set out!"

"Let's go!"

"My King, wait for me!"

He took Magic Cat and, at a faster pace, was the first to head towards the areas outside Yunxia Mountain. The other fierce beasts followed closely, but quite a few chose to stay behind.

After all, the abundant energy in Yunxia Mountain was already a great opportunity.

As long as they followed the routine here, they would become increasingly powerful. And these fierce beasts who chose to stay were almost all seeking stability, not wanting to go out and fight for their lives!

Xia Fan didn't say much about this, as everyone had their own choices.

Once out of Yunxia Mountain, the fierce beasts discovered that due to the great changes in the world, their previous memories of the map were practically useless. Now, it could only provide them with a general direction.

But even so, Xia Fan and his group flew northward in a straight line for several hours before they roughly flew out of Yunxia Mountain's range.

"Yunxia Mountain has actually become so big. It's a good thing we weren't in a hurry to come out then."

Mermaid Nami was still marveling when she heard Ta Mu echo beside her, "Yes, but I've known all along that as long as we follow the King, everything will be fine."

"This was also within my expectations."

"Ta Mu, can you rein it in a bit? Stop flattering the King all the time..."

While his subordinates were bickering, Xia Fan looked down at the territory below, his expression calm.

Before this, the Jiangnan region had already been designated a restricted area by Great Xia, and many people had been relocated. Now, after the changes in the world, this entire area, for tens of thousands of miles, was almost devoid of human presence.

His occupation of such a vast territory, even calling it control of a demon kingdom, would be an understatement.

"Roar!"

"Woof woof..."

Along the way, Xia Fan encountered many fierce beasts, but no matter what kind of fierce beast they were, upon sensing his aura, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, showing submission. Some weaker ones even began to whimper in fear.

Even among them, there were many fierce beasts who had gained great opportunities due to the changes in the world. Although their strength had greatly increased, they dared not challenge this former overlord of Jiangnan.

In this vast region, Xia Fan could truly be described as — the Monarch on tour, all four directions prostrate!

"My King, where are we going?"

Seeing Xia Fan continuously leading the way without slowing down, Ta Mu was filled with curiosity. The latter responded, "Mount Tai!"

"Mount Tai? What kind of place is that?"

Ta Mu and the other fierce beasts were all puzzled, looking confused.

Seeing this, Xia Fan showed a faint smile but did not explain in detail, "Mount Tai, ah, is a mysterious place, with great opportunities within!"

Mount Tai, since ancient times, has been a place for imperial sacrifices, and there are many legends about it.

Since his rebirth, Xia Fan knew that in the near future, an innate spiritual fruit would appear at that sacred mountain, attracting countless powerhouses to battle there!

In his previous life, when he was still a small fry, he had heard about this great battle.

Now that his own strength had reached the Fifth Stage, he had the qualifications to participate and a chance to seize the treasure.

The importance of that innate spiritual fruit was self-evident.

And for such a treasure, Xia Fan naturally would not give up.

At this moment, he led the fierce beasts, flying steadfastly towards Mount Tai. When he saw the fierce beasts in the areas they passed all submitting to him, he sighed and secretly thought, "This world, after all, is about the strong preying on the weak."

"If you cannot become stronger, you will only become food for others!"
