Shen Yuan peeled the clingy Little Bai Xue from his trouser leg.

Holding Bai Xue in his arms, Shen Yuan glanced at the dejected Maine Coon cat and said, “I assume you’ve seen that this is her own wish.”

The Maine Coon nodded, turned around with its tail trailing behind, and walked away in a disheveled state. Despite having a body as magnificent as a tiger, it looked more like a tiny kitten that has just been abandoned by its master right now.

With tears in her eyes, Bai Xue clenched her tiny white paws and secretly apologized to the Maine Coon deep down.

“I’m sorry, Big Cat, I really wanted to go home with you. But, for the sake of our safety, I must stay with the big demon and simply make the best of a bad situation.

Rest assured that if I ever have a chance in the future, I will definitely come to find you. Only we can revive the glory of our Cat Tribe!”

Just as the Maine Coon slowly reached the door, a regretful sigh echoed through the yard.

“All right, you can come to see her if you have time in the future.”

The Maine Coon was immediately revitalized, hastily turned his head to Shen Yuan, and his wide body bowed down to the ground again.

“Thank you, True Monarch! Thank you, True Monarch!”

Shen Yuan found the Maine Coon’s attitude somewhat embarrassing.

Allowing the Maine Coon to come and visit Bai Xue was partly due to considering Bai Xue’s feelings for having departed from her family and partly out of Shen Yuan’s own selfish motives.

After all, this cat monster achieved the Qi Transformation Stage right after the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge just returned, and moreover, it has awakened an extremely practical Natural Divine Power, Bronze Head Iron Arm.

While he did not know why a cat could look as powerful as a tiger and even awaken the Natural Divine Power of the Tiger Tribe, such strength is impressive even among the monster tribe and can completely justify ruling and commanding a group of monsters by monopolizing a territory.

If the Maine Coon would visit Bai Xue more often, a connection could be established between the two sides.

He could also learn about the monster tribe’s affairs through the Maine Coon. If lucky, he might even get clues about hidden achievements and movements of groups of the monster tribe.

Having an extra friend is definitely better than having an extra enemy.

After all, Shen Yuan was just in the late stage of Essence Refining and not quite at the point where he could overlook a monster in the Qi Transformation Stage.

“This is just a small favor.” Shen Yuan replied breezily. However, Bai Xue in his arms was already flabbergasted.

“How terrible! The big demon said it’s for the Big Cat to visit me, but in fact, it’s a scheme to retain the Big Cat.

The foolish Big Cat definitely would not recognize the true character of the big demon. Once he stays behind, he will deter me. I couldn’t possibly abandon the Big Cat and run, and the Big Cat wouldn’t leave me behind and escape.”

At this thought, the tiny kitten started to shiver. Her eyes began to fill with more and more horror.

“What a deep-seated scheme, and what ruthless means!”

Feeling Bai Xue slightly trembling in his embrace, Shen Yuan looked at the tiny kitten curiously and asked,

“What’s wrong? Are you not happy about it?”

The trembling in Bai Xue’s body abruptly stopped. In her eyes, Shen Yuan was like a demon from outside the realm, who was whispering illusively and mockingly in her ears.

She forced a smile, which appeared uglier than a cry, on her face. The kitten stretched out her head to rub her forehead against Shen Yuan’s chest and emitted a flattering meow.

“Meow~meow~”

The Maine Coon carefully observed the interaction between the person and the cat and looked on with envy filled in its eyes.

Holding Bai Xue, Shen Yuan walked to the stone table and sat down, looking at the Maine Coon who was still standing there and said,

“There’s no need to be so formal. I have something to ask you.”

The Maine Coon hesitated for a moment and then walked to the front of the stone table.

Even as Shen Yuan presented a friendly attitude, the Maine Coon knew its place and didn’t dare to sit down, instead obediently lying on the ground at the side.

Only now did the Maine Coon truly take its time to size up the Void Refining True Monarch before it.

In the Maine Coon’s eyes, Shen Yuan’s handsome and excessively youthful face held none of the musty aura that emanated from the souls of old relics.

Just sitting there, he seemed to meld into the surrounding space, the sharpened edges of his aura revolving around him. He was like an unparalleled Immortal Sword that had not yet been unsheathed, sure to shake the heavens and move the earth once it was drawn.

For a moment, the Maine Coon’s bright yellow eyes suddenly felt a prickling pain. The cat quickly lowered its head, not daring to gaze directly anymore.

“How long ago did you complete the Essence Refining to Qi Transformation?”

With the sound of Shen Yuan’s words, a breeze blew through the courtyard. The branches and leaves of the jujube tree rustled while the wooden green vines on the walkway swayed with the wind.

“Esteemed True Monarch, I completed the Essence Refining to Qi Transformation three days ago on Yunfu Mountain.”

“Yunfu Mountain?” Shen Yuan’s voice held a touch of surprise.

“Yunfu Mountain is thousands of kilometers away from Wenn City. Why would you go there to break through?”

Although surprised that an esteemed personage like the Void Refining True Monarch Shen Yuan would care about such a trivial matter, the Maine Coon still honestly replied:

“In the past three thousand years, Yunfu Mountain has been a congregation spot for the monster tribes of Yun Province, possessing one of Yun Province’s most significant Spirit veins.

In the early stages of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge’s return, Yunfu Mountain’s Spirit vein already showed signs of revival, and its concentration of Spirit Energy far surpassed that of Wenn City.

To break through the Qi Transformation stage, one cannot do without the support of a large amount of Spirit Energy, which is why our monster tribe of Yun province believes that Yunfu Mountain is the best place for a breakthrough.”

The Maine Coon paused its words before adding another sentence.

“In addition to Yunfu Mountain, Mount Laojun and Cangyun City in the state capital are also places where Spirit veins gather.

In the early stage of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, Spirit vein resources determined how many treasures and creatures with cultivation potential a place can produce.”

“Mount Laojun has long been a private area of the sect, which even the Great Xia’s Imperial Court dares not lay a hand on. The sect, in turn, also refrains from expanding into the outside world.

As for places like the state capital, they are under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia’s Imperial Court. It is rumored that personnel from the mysterious Imperial Astronomical Bureau are stationed there, always on guard against lower – ranking monsters causing chaos.”

“And in places like Wenn City that does not even have the lowest-level Spirit vein, to maintain stability, maybe one or two cultivators would reside over the new city districts, but not a single bit of effort would be put into the old city district areas. This is also the reason for the large number of small monsters running around in the old city district.”

The Maine Coon’s words immediately gave Shen Yuan a basic concept of the current situation in the Great Xia.

The Great Xia’s Imperial Court controlled the situation in plain sight, occupying the Spirit veins of the state capital and various cities, and possessing the vastest resources.

Meanwhile, places with valuable Spirit vein resources like Mount Laojun had been taken control of by sect, not infringing upon the Great Xia’s Imperial Court’s claim.

As for Yunfu Mountain with its range of peaks, even if the imperial army could suppress the area temporarily, it would be impossible to find the monster tribe in the continuous mountains, thus becoming a reserved land for the monster tribes.

Apparently, it seemed like the Great Xia’s Imperial Court dominated the entire situation, while the sects and monster tribes could only huddle within their territories.

However, all the power of Great Xia was built on a base of societal stability. Once the return of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge accelerates, various kinds of turmoil would affect the basic social order.

Furthermore, the weapons that the Great Xia’s military possessed would, with the gradual strengthening of the cultivators, lose their deterrent power, and would even be suppressed by high-ranking cultivators.

In contrast, whether it was the sect or the monster tribes, their foundations were the cultivation system. With the revival of Spirit Energy, their growth rate would surpass that of the Great Xia’s Imperial Court.

Under such circumstances, the control that Great Xia holds over the situation is bound to collapse.

Shen Yuan tapped his fingertip lightly against the tabletop, commenting with interest:

Quite intriguing.”
