Far away from the Spirit Inferno Domain was the Ancient Eldoria Woodland, an ancient forest steeped in Qi, which was a haven for magic beasts and a forbidden zone for other races.
Its towering trees, draped in erald moss and vibrant fungi, seed to touch the heavens. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor, where strange, bioluminescent plants blood.
The air was thick with the scent of ancient wood and exotic herbs. The symphony of nature was ever-present, with the rustling of leaves, the chirping of magical birds, and the low growl of hidden creatures.
The appearance of Ancient Eldoria Woodland was a testant to the power of nature that perated this wonderland. It was a place of wonder and mystery, and among the magic beasts, it was known as a sanctuary and a source of inspiration for those who sought to understand the true nature of natural laws.
Even the second-grade sect wanted a piece of this place, yet no one has ever been able to conquer it.
At this mont, a dark hooded figure stood before a massive, ancient oak tree deep in Ancient Eldoria Woodland. Its gnarled branches were adorned with strange, glowing symbols.
Furthermore, besides this hooded figure, it was a cute little girl, seemingly around the age of twelve, but her appearance was not human. She had bark-like skin, leafy green hair, and branches for limbs.
At this mont, the strange little girl loudly, in her chirpy, innocent voice, spoke in front of the mysterious oak tree, "Big sis Oakley, look who I brought here!"
At this mont, the branches of the runes on the oak tree suddenly glow brightly, and a beautiful being materializes in front of it the next mont.
It was a beautiful woman with flowing green hair and leaves adorning her crown. Her erald skin was covered in intricate tattoos, representing the runes on the oak tree. Her eyes were completely white and shimred with gentleness. She seed to be surrounded by natural laws, giving an unfathomable yet friendly feeling, just like nature.
This woman flashed a gentle smile when she saw the little girl who was smiling with delight, but her eyes turned sharp and wary when she looked towards the hooded figure beside the little girl.
"It's been a while since we have had guests, not to ntion the guest is a Fox." Oakley's words were neither warm nor servile as she spoke to the hooded figure. "Since little Birch brought you here, this ans she had approached you herself. How should I help you?"
But before the hooded figure could reply, the little girl nad Birch suddenly exclaid, "No! Actually, this big sis found on her own when I was observing her. She's very skilled, and I was even surprised. But she didn't do anything to ; in fact, she gave many snacks. You have to help her!"
Oakley's expression changed slightly when she heard little Birch's unexpected words because she knew it was impossible to detect her kind until they willingly showed themselves.
Moreover, her kind only approached people with kind natures and strong auras of natural laws, and she didn't sense anything like that in this mysterious person except that she had the bestial aura of a magic beast race, which initially confused her. Still, now, things were starting to make sense.
Furthermore, only her kind could bring people to this place. This was a completely unexpected thing that hadn't happened in a very long ti. But this also ans that this 'fox' was not simple, and little Birch was still just a naïve child, so Oakley raised her guard instantly.
At this mont, the hooded figure finally spoke, "You don't need to be on guard, I just like this little girl, so I give her so gifts, it's not a big deal and I never force her to bring here. She brought here on her own when I asked her the direction of the Illustrative Feral Monastery. She told only her big sis could help , so here I am." Her voice was very pleasing to the ears, but there were hints of arrogance present in it.
Oakley looked deeply toward the hooded figure, wanting to see through the darkness within the hood, but she couldn't see anything except an endless void, which made her sowhat uneasy.
But since little Birch was looking at her with an expectant gaze and this person didn't do anything to Birch, she didn't bring herself to act against her. After all, she knew if this person was aware of their race, she could've captured Birch and then tried to sell her. Even King Sects would pay any price to get their hands on Birch.
Since this person could detect Birch, Oakley knew she had so mysterious abilities despite being a re Ascension Soldier. Birch could easily take care of her if she had shone any malicious intention.
But even then, if she managed to escape the other and told them about their race's presence in this place and that she could detect them, she would instantly beco an essential and well- guarded figure in power sects. Yet she didn't do any of it, so she didn't attack her.
"Do you want to join the Illustrative Feral Monastery?" Oakley questioned sternly.
The hooded figure nodded without hesitation, "Indeed. I've heard the Illustrative Feral Monastery is the strongest organization of magic beasts, and they only accept magic beasts in their ranks, so I naturally want to join them. But their whereabouts are unknown, and the only clue is in the Ancient Eldoria Woodland, and it seed the rumors were not baseless."
Oakley thought montarily before she finally replied, "You are indeed qualified to join Illustrative Feral Monastery despite your cultivation lacking a little-just your ability to detect little Birch enough.
"However, the Illustrative Feral Monastery is very strict when it cos to accepting new mbers, and despite my connection with them, you have to rely on your abilities to enter it. I can only give a recomndation token allowing you to take their entrance test, but this is as far as I can help you."
"It's enough as long as they won't turn down. I can pass their test." The hooded figure replied without any hesitation while she was secretly pleasantly surprised by this unexpected
windfall.
She had never thought the cute tree girl she helped would bring her such an unexpected
fortune.
After all, she was just shooting in the dark when she ca to search for the Illustrative Feral Monastery, which she had heard about from her leader. This Illustrative Feral Monastery fascinated her.
But she never expected it would go so smoothly. She felt very pleased with herself and thought about bragging in front of her colleagues and that arrogant leader of hers.
Oakley nodded. Since this was a small matter to her, she could even directly help her join the Illustrative Feral Monastery, but she didn't do it because she was still wary of this person. Nonetheless, she didn't want to send her away, especially with her ability to detect her kind, so she wanted to keep her close, and the Illustrative Feral Monastery was the best option. She flipped her hand, and a golden oak leaf with a rune symbol appeared. She handed that left to the hooded figure.
"This leaf will guide you where the Illustrative Feral Monastery is, and as long as you show it to the people of Illustrative Feral Monastery, they will allow you to take the entrance test."
"Thank you, tree lady," The hooded figure happily said before an interface appeared before
her.
After a short silence, she suddenly looked towards little Birch, who was very happy for her. Then she looked towards Oakley as her eyes behind the hood shone brightly.
For so reason, Oakley felt uncomfortable when she asked, "What is it?"
The hooded figure thought montarily before she seriously asked, which left both Oakley
and little Birch confused.
"Are you two interested in becoming thieves?"
