“Gray?”

Xu Ning tried to call out.

Immediately, Gray, who was on top of the head of the giant tiger demon beast, jumped down and fell into Xu Ning’s arms.

“Gray, it really is you!”

Xu Ning stroked Gray’s fur with a smiling eyes.

He noticed that there was a silver spiral mark on Gray’s forehead.

Gray rubbed against Xu Ning’s chest before turning his head and glancing at the demon beasts around him.

Afterwards, the demon beasts seemed to realize something and slowly retreated. When they approached the stone wall, they twisted themselves and entered the wall, turning back into murals.

This strange scene shocked Xu Ning.

He didn’t see these demon beasts walking out of the murals just now.

A deep sound suddenly came from the throat of the giant tiger demon beast.

Its eyes stared at Xu Ning, then the silver lines on its forehead started twisting.

Xu Ning looked into its eyes and his head suddenly felt dizzy. He felt his consciousness begin to sink, as if he was being drawn to a certain place.

Xu Ning noticed that the scene around him had changed.

The surrounding halls had disappeared, replaced by a silver space.

Then, the silver space distorted again, then two figures appeared, one big and one small.

One of them was a five to six years old boy, wearing a silver shirt, with two lumps of hair on his head. His little face was chubby and his mouth was pouty.

The other person was a burly middle-aged man wearing a fiery red robe.

“Brother!”

The boy looked at Xu Ning and said in a childish voice.

“You are…”

Xu Ning seemed to realize something.

“I am Gray!”

The boy jogged to Xu Ning, wanting to throw himself into Xu Ning’s arms.

However, the boy phased through Xu Ning’s body.

It turned out that neither of them was real.

“Are you really Gray?”

Although Xu Ning felt that this was strange, he was very happy to see Gray in his human form.

“Yes.”

The middle-aged man in the fiery red robe said, “This is the mental space that I built with the help of a dao weapon. What you see is the spirit form of me and Young Master.”

“Mental space?”

This was the first time Xu Ning had heard of this.

“You can call me Xu Hujun, and I am the servant of Young Master.”

Xu Hujun said to Xu Ning.

“Gray is your young master?”

Xu Ning looked at the boy next to him, then looked at Xu Hujun.

“Yes, Young Master is the only descendant of the void bloodline.”

Xu Hujun replied.

“Sure enough, Gray is a descendant of that legendary void beast.”

Xu Ning had already made such a guess from his experiences in the mystic realm. Now that Xu Hujun said this, it confirmed Xu Ning’s guess.

But at the same time, Xu Ning felt a knot in his heart.

That void beast was the culprit behind the destruction of the people in State Jifeng 300 years ago.

As its descendant, would Gray become a fierce demon beast once it grew up?

Moreover, Xu Ning was a little afraid of Xu Hujun.

Since it referred to Gray as Young Master, it meant that the void beast was its master.

Moreover, he had seen Xu Hujun use violence against the people of State Jifeng.

“Xu Ning, I know that you have countless questions in your heart. If you want to solve them, just ask me. This is why I pulled you into this mental space.”

Xu Hujun said to Xu Ning.

Just as Xu Hujun said, Xu Ning had a lot of questions about Gray, about the mystic realm, and about the beast tide 300 years ago.

“Senior Xu Hujun, I want to know, is this mystic realm a battlefield of the State Jifeng Beast Tide 300 years ago?”

Xu Ning asked the first question.

“Yes.”

Xu Hujun said, “This mystic realm is the battlefield of the final battle of the beast tide. Many people who participated in the final battle left their inheritances here.”

“What was the cause and process of the beast tide? Was it really the void beast that caused the tragedy in State Jifeng?”

Xu Ning stared into Xu Hujun’s eyes.

“What a joke!”

After being asked this question, Xu Hujun suddenly sneered. “Nonsense. If my master hadn’t used himself as the spatial eye at the last moment and perished together with the mastermind behind the beast tide, the disaster would never have ended!”

“What?”

Xu Ning was shocked.

Xu Hujun implied that not only was the void beast not responsible for the beast tide, but it was also the savior of State Jifeng.

“More than 300 years ago, everything in State Jifeng was stable. I followed my master and lived in an ancient forest far from the human race. Our void race lived together and had our own order and society away from the human race.”

“Ever since Master was born, he was pampered by the entire race because of his extremely pure void bloodline. Master loved inherently freedom by nature, and he had infiltrated the human world several times. And in one of his excursions, he met a human genius named Shi Fengxu.”

Xu Ning’s eyes moved.

Xu Hujun explained carefully.

“Although the man and the demon beast were of different races, they appreciated each other and formed bonds of friendship with each other. The two not only traveled together in State Jifeng, but also traveled across many large states. Just when the two planned to travel further, State Jifeng was suddenly in danger.”

“A person who claimed to be a beast tamer came to State Jifeng from State Wansheng.”

“He was strong and ruthless. At that time, he had a treasure called the Demon Beast Scroll. With the Demon Beast Scroll, he could control most demon beasts.”

Although it had been more than 300 years ago, there was still a deep sense of fear in Xu Hujun’s eyes. “In order to expand the Demon Beast Scroll, he frantically captured and enslaved demon beasts in State Jifeng. At that time, many powerful demon beast packs were absorbed into the Demon Beast Scroll.”

“Eventually, the void race was targeted by him…”

“Master brought me and Shi Fengxu away. We were lucky to survive. As for the other members of the void race, they were all put into the Demon Beast Scroll and enslaved. As long as they entered the scroll, demon beasts would lose their consciousness, relegating them into puppets.”

“After the void race encountered such a huge crisis, Master was anxious to deal with the beast tamer and rescue his race.”

“However, Shi Fengxu stopped Master. He knew that Master was not a match for the beast tamer. Faced with the beast tamer, Master would definitely die.”

“However, as Master’s close friend, Shi Fengxu was also unwilling to see Master endure this kind of pain, so he took out the blood essence of an ancient demon beast in the family and gave it to Master. With the help of the blood essence of the ancient demon beast, Master’s realm broke through.”

“Just when Master felt that the time was right and was ready to rescue his race, the beast tide suddenly broke out.”

“At this point, the beast tamer had enslaved countless demon beasts in State Jifeng, making the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Scroll incomparable. And in order to make the Demon Beast Scroll even more terrifying, the beast tamer decided to refine all the demon beasts in the scroll, refining it into a peerless weapon. If the beast tamer succeeded, he would have become an overlord even after returning to State Wansheng.”

“However, the beast tamer had failed. In the end, he was not strong enough. The Demon Beast Scroll lost control in the hands of the beast tamer, and countless demon beasts inside were expelled out, escaping from the Demon Beast Scroll, resulting in the beast tide.”

Xu Hujun suddenly sighed, a look of pain appeared in his eyes.

‘That is how the beast tide broke out?’

Xu Ning looked surprised.

Xu Hujun’s statement was completely different from the rumors.

Therefore, Xu Ning still had some doubts about this.

Xu Hujun also saw that Xu Ning didn’t completely believe his words, but he didn’t mind. He just continued to speak.

“In order to deal with the beast tide, the sects and cultivation families of State Jifeng teamed up, abandoned their prejudices, and faced this disaster together. Shi Fengxu also stood above everyone and gradually became famous, becoming the leader of the human race.”

“As a close friend of Shi Fengxu, Master wanted to follow Shi Fengxu and eradicate the beast tide together. But Master’s identity as a demon beast was too sensitive at that time. He would not be accepted by the human race. In order to prevent Shi Fengxu from being suspected by the human race, Master took the initiative to leave Shi Fengxu’s side.”

“The human race continued to fight the beast tide.”

“However, those demon beasts, with their consciousness erased, only had the instincts of wild beasts left. Without any consciousness, they were just too strong. Moreover, there were too many of them. The demon beasts in the Demon Beast Scroll did not only consist of the demon beasts that were enslaved in State Jifeng, but also the demon beasts that were enslaved by the beast tamer in other states. If you get rid of one wave, another wave will come out. It would almost never end.”

“The only way to stop the disaster at the time was to find the Demon Beast Scroll and completely destroy its inner core.”

“Therefore, Shi Fengxu and other human experts were desperately searching for the whereabouts of the Demon Beast Scroll and the beast tamer.”

“In the end, the Demon Beast Scroll was found, but the whereabouts of the beast tamer were still unknown. Maybe when he saw the Demon Beast Scroll go out of control, he immediately returned to State Wansheng. Faced with an ownerless and dangerous Demon Beast Scroll, everyone could only take a gamble.”

“Shi Fengxu led humanity’s experts into the scroll, intending to find its core and destroy it. But doing this was too difficult. Even the beast tamer from State Wansheng was unable to control the Demon Beast Scroll, is there a need to mention about the people from State Jifeng?”

“Faced with the Demon Beast Scroll, Shi Fengxu and the other human powerhouses were defeated, and all of them were buried in the scroll. However, just when Shi Fengxu was about to die, Master appeared in the Demon Beast Scroll.”

“For the sake of his friend Shi Fengxu, Master burnt all of his pure void blood, turning himself into the eye of the void, reversing the inner core of the scroll into pure chaotic space.”

Xu Hujun had a painful expression on his face. “With that, the inner core of the Demon Beast Scroll was destroyed, and a large number of terrifying demon beasts died in the space-time turbulence. The beast tide was over.”

“With the death of Master, his body was also broken down in the Demon Beast Scroll. The half rib bone you obtained just now was the remains of my master.”

“So…”

Xu Ning said, “The so-called mystic realm we are in is actually an incomplete Demon Beast Scroll?!”

“Yes.”

Xu Hujun said, “This mystic realm is the Demon Beast Scroll.”

“Because at that time, many human powerhouses died in the Demon Beast Scroll and had left behind their inheritances, Shi Fengxu personally altered the Demon Beast Scroll into a mystic realm, waiting for the fated person to enter and receive their inheritances.”

“After the Demon Beast Scroll was altered into a mystic realm, Shi Fengxu also left behind three dao weapons and hundreds of secret techniques and secret scrolls, hidden in the depths of the stone hall. If you continue to explore the stone hall later, you will receive hundreds of secret techniques and secret scrolls.”

“After the Demon Beast Scroll was altered into a mystic realm, I entered it voluntarily to protect the last vestiges of my master.”

“As for Shi Fengxu, after the end of the beast tide, he enjoyed great prestige. He turned the family behind him into the overlord of State Jifeng, establishing the power of the imperial family.”

“After becoming the head of a state dynasty, the first thing Shi Fengxu wanted to do was to tell the world that it was indeed Master who saved State Jifeng, but he was unanimously opposed by the big cultivation families.”

“Because although the beast tide was solved, the beast tamer who caused the beast tide was not punished at all. If this result was made public, then all the surviving humans in State Jifeng would be dissatisfied.”

“In order to hide this fact, Master’s sacrifice for the human race was ultimately concealed.”

“At the same time, because of this, Shi Fengxu was dissatisfied with these big cultivation families, so he used his power and prestige to suppress them.”

“Just like this, Shi Fengxu gradually stood against these families.”

“After twenty years of confrontation, Shi Fengxu finally understood that unless one had the strength to suppress everything, the power of an imperial family was not stable in the martial arts world. Therefore, Shi Fengxu let go.”

“He left State Jifeng to find the beast tamer, in order to settle things with him.”

“After Shi Fengxu left, the dynasty collapsed and fell into chaos again. Because the big families had a feud with Shi Fengxu, they described Master as the instigator of the beast tide.”

“I only found out about this a hundred years ago when I left the secret realm to search for offsprings of the void race. At that time, I was extremely angry, but there was nothing I could do.”

Xu Hujun sighed again. “This is what you want to know, right?”

“Yes…”

Xu Ning basically believed in what Xu Hujun said.

“Anything else you want to know?”

Xu Hujun asked again.

“About Gray, is he the void race descendant you’re looking for?”

Xu Ning asked.

“Yes.”

Xu Hujun nodded. “Yes, not only is he a descendant of the void race, but he also has a pure void bloodline, just like Master. Now I plan to personally train Young Master and have him rebuild the void race..”
