Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: Void-Devouring Tiger Race
It began to boast about how powerful it was during its lifetime, claiming that even though only its Primordial Spirit remained, it could still maintain its mind from being infected by the Evil Qi here.
Yang Yan was somewhat skeptical about this.
This spirit self-described itself as being over hundreds of years old with high cultivation skills, which wasn’t impossible.
But no matter how formidable it was in life, now it seemed as weak as an ant.
Moreover, the more he listened, the less it seemed like it had the mind of a child.
Yang Yan found it amusing; this creature was speaking without restraint, completely unaware that it had already exposed its true cards.
"I’ve told you everything I know, can you spare me?" The little thing spoke with strong hope in its voice.
In truth, Yang Yan couldn’t bear to eradicate this little thing either.
Moreover, Yang Yan had always kept his word; since he had already gotten the information he wanted, he naturally wasn’t thinking about making things difficult for the other party any further.
Of course, simply letting it go wasn’t the result Yang Yan hoped for either.
"You can keep your life for now, but I won’t let you go." Yang Yan said without disguise.
Hearing that it wouldn’t have to die... Well, it automatically ignored the word "for now," and the little thing was exceptionally happy.
If it hadn’t been caught by Yang Yan, it would have been dancing with joy.
It seemed that being here, it had already despaired and didn’t have much hope for freedom.
Better alive than dead.
Even in another form, it stubbornly wanted to keep surviving.
The Primordial Spirit, perhaps trapped here too long, began to speak boldly with Yang Yan after knowing it wouldn’t die, asking endless questions out of curiosity.
Yang Yan couldn’t help but silently complain, how much does this guy love talking!
Chattering away ceaselessly, without a moment’s pause.
But taking a second thought, Yang Yan came to terms with it.
Staying in such a ghostly place for so long, curiosity about the outside world was inevitable.
Maybe in this kind of place, losing one’s mind could be considered a blessing.
At least it spared one from enduring the torment of endless years.
However, being questioned for too long, Yang Yan also began to feel a bit impatient and planned to simply store it in his Void Storage space.
At this point, the spirit quickly revealed that it wasn’t the only intelligent Primordial Spirit here and wanted to take Yang Yan to their hiding place.
Shaking his head helplessly, Yang Yan couldn’t say much more.
As the saying goes, "too clear water has no fish, too scrutinizing a person has no followers."
Encountering such a guy, hoping for it to reveal everything was still somewhat unlikely.
Later, to allow this spirit to have the strength to lead the way, Yang Yan shared some acquired souls with it.
And this kitty-like spirit, after receiving the soul supply, displayed a budding form of the Flying Divine Tiger!
"Is your true form actually the Flying Divine Tiger?" Yang Yan was genuinely surprised and said with a smile.
"Bah! What Flying Divine Tiger? Clearly, you’re an outsider." Upon hearing Yang Yan utter "Flying Divine Tiger," the kitty-like spirit showed disdain.
Then, looking proud, it continued to explain:
"The title Flying Divine Tiger is just a generalized term used by outsiders, and much of what you humans have recorded about us is misunderstood."
After speaking, the spirit leaped forward, turning its head to beckon Yang Yan:
"Come on, I’ll take you to our hiding place."
Yang Yan observed silently as the spirit, after absorbing the souls he provided, manifested more clearly in the form of the Flying Divine Tiger, feeling less weak than before.
The body was more clearly visible than before.
Yet why would such a divine creature be forced into such persecution?
For a moment, Yang Yan couldn’t understand.
He hesitated not a moment longer and directly followed the Flying Divine Tiger, wanting to see where exactly they were hiding.
"Earlier, you said I am an outsider; why is that?" Yang Yan casually inquired for more information while following it.
Upon hearing Yang Yan’s question, the Flying Divine Tiger gave him a sidelong glance.
"Because those truly familiar with us do not generally refer to us as Flying Divine Tiger but call us by our clan’s self-given name."
"Only people like you and those with shallow dealings from outside call us Flying Divine Tiger."
Yang Yan asked curiously, "Oh? So you mean you have another name among yourselves?"
The spirit nodded and continued, "Of course, Flying Divine Tiger encompasses a series of species."
"Because this designation carries significant weight among humans, they gradually accepted this title."
"Even some species try every trick in the book to associate with this name to gain fame among humans."
At this point, it snorted coldly: "But though Flying Divine Tiger encompasses higher-level species, they don’t actively promote themselves into it but use it as a gauge for outsiders."
After finishing, the spirit glanced at Yang Yan.
Seeing his indifferent expression, it raised its head and continued speaking:
"Besides you and those sect elders outside calling us Flying Divine Tiger, many species in the Star Realm have been randomly named by humans.
"However, to facilitate interaction with humans, they gradually accepted these titles. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Of course, there are still some species that have not reached a consensus, still negotiating the names internally, or simply their clan does not recognize these names, only adopting them among humans."
Yang Yan casually asked: "So a species could have different titles among different species?"
The spirit nodded: "Indeed! And such situations are quite common. Some weaker species do not have the recognition privilege and could only be forced to accept foreign naming."
Yang Yan inquired again: "Then for species like yours, what is the internal name?"
The spirit visibly frowned, somewhat displeased as it said: "What do you mean by species like ours?! Bah! Our species belongs to the Devouring Void clan among the Thirteen Star Gates, commonly known externally as the Void-Devouring Tiger Race."
"Among all species, considered not weak in spatial talent. So even though I’m currently weak in power, my speed can still match yours."
At this point, the spirit began to be proud again.
Yang Yan seeing its expression, even found it quite amusing.
It’s no wonder its speed was so fast, keeping pace with his own speed.
At this moment, the Flying Divine Tiger began to self-boast again.
"If I restore my power, I can even directly rip through space. Bah! This is much more powerful than your humans’ cultivation techniques!"
"Oh!" Yang Yan casually responded.
"Oh?! Bah! You probably haven’t witnessed our strength. That’s why you respond this way, right? Let me tell you, our clan..."
"..."
In terms of understanding spirit beasts, Yang Yan remained at a rookie level, always responding calmly, not cooperating in the least.
This made the little creature somewhat angry.
Thinking he was blind to the treasure before him, showing more disdain toward Yang Yan.
"If it weren’t for you, I could have returned quickly; having you along slows my speed greatly."
Saying this, the little creature gave Yang Yan an indignant look, then mischievously accelerated its speed, as if wanting to embarrass Yang Yan.
Yang Yan found this quite amusing.
He, the dignified Moonlight Emperor, actually despised by something as small as a cat.
