Cultivators had strong primordial spirits. Therefore, they were wise and could do things that ordinary people couldn't. Within a couple of hours, Ji Hao had learned the local language and characters, and had gained a basic understanding of this world.
This forest was called Silent Forest, and was the territory of the 'green-kind'.
Intelligent creatures in this world were classified according to their natures, such as the green kind, the water-kind, the earth-kind, the gold-kind, and the fire-kind. These were the most common kinds. There were some special kinds, but Mu Jiuxiao, who was captured alive by Ji Hao, didn't know about them.
According to the different natures of powers and spirit beast souls, the green kind in Silent Forest were divided into three main branches, namely 'wind bird', 'thunder beast' and 'poisonous bug'. Mu Jiuxiao and his people belonged to the Wind Bird branch. Among all the Wind Bird branches in the Tranquil Forest, this small island was ranked top one hundred.
However, Silent Forest wasn't peaceful. Although they were all green-kind creatures, the wind bird branch, thunder beast branch and poisonous bug branch had been fighting against each other for territories. Even the other large branches of wind bird had been fighting fiercely for resources.
In Silent Forest, people had been fighting fiercely. Meanwhile, green-kind people in Silent Forest had been fighting fiercely against earth-kind and water-kind people on the grassland outside the forest. Once a year, a small war would start, and once every three years, a big war would start.
According to what Mu Jiuxiao knew, those earth-kind and water-kind people on the grassland were facing the threats of earth-kind, fire-kind and gold-kind people, who lived in the mountains further away. Therefore, they had been fighting fiercely as well.
All in all, this was a lively world. People fought each other, people from the same kind fought against each other, people from the same kind joined hands to fight against non-humankind beings, allied with the non-humankind beings who lived close to them and fought the non-humankind beings who lived far away from them, or joined hands with the non-humankind beings who lived far away from them to fight the non-humankind beings who lived close to them …
Fortunately, the reproduction rate of the various races in this world was astonishing. For example, when the Wood Race lived in the depths of the forest, they were nourished by the power of the forest. Women could give birth to children in just one and a half months after they became pregnant, and they could give birth to at most four children at a time. The children only needed ten years to mature and continue to reproduce.
With such a strong reproductive ability, the various tribes in this world could fight without restraint. As long as there were enough resources, the population of each tribe would only snowball. There was no need to worry about the extinction of the population because of war.
The reason why all the tribes were in such a mess was that the Holy Spirit Clans of each tribe were also badly battered and bleeding at the same time.
The word 'holy spirit' was a guess made by Ji Hao based on Mu Jiuxiao's words. People from different clans like Mu Jiuxiao were all 'ordinary people'. When they cultivated to a certain level, they would be tested by nature. Once they successfully passed the test, they would gain an unimaginably great power and the power to fly to the sky. Then, they would arrive at the 'Holy Land' and become a high and mighty Holy Spirit.
The Wind Bird Clan that Mu Jiuxiao belonged to had many holy spirits among their ancestors as well, and the wooden house that he was cultivating in was the sacred palace where the holy spirits were worshiped. The statue enshrined in the wooden house was the combination of the will of all the holy spirits in this tribe.
Just like the ancestral totem worshiped by Gold Crow Clan, the wooden statue enshrined in the wooden house was the totem worshiped by all Mu Jiuxiao's people.
This wooden statue was not only a totem worshiped by his people, but it was also a channel for Mu Jiuxiao and his people to contact their ancestors in the Holy Land. If a disaster happened to their clan, they could still contact their ancestors through this wooden statue and kill the enemies with the power of their ancestors.
According to Mu Jiuxiao, when the holy spirits in the Holy Land released their power through this wooden statue, over a hundred clan elders who were as powerful as him would be easily wiped out.
Meanwhile, Ji Hao also learned that those large but weak creatures and spirit trees in the Silent Forest were all 'livestock' raised by the green-kind.
No matter how old these creatures and spirit trees were, they wouldn't be too powerful. All of their life-force and life-force were gathered in the 'spirit Dan' inside their bodies. Every year, the green-kind would harvest a certain number of creatures and spirit trees and offer their spirit Dan to the holy spirits as offerings.
Mu Jiuxiao couldn't tell why those creatures and spirit trees were so huge in size, but so weak. Anyway, the whole world was like this. For countless years, those enormous creatures were just so weak, and could only serve as offerings.
The book on the table was also taught to Ji Hao by Mu Jiuxiao without reservation.
This was a commonly used book in the Wind Bird Clan, containing a set of commonly used cultivation methods and over ten commonly used magics. All Wind Bird clans in Tranquil Forest had been practicing the same cultivation method and using the same magic.
Hearing Mu Jiuxiao's explanation, Ji Hao easily mastered these spells.
These were the simplest magics, which had a shockingly low efficiency in using natural powers. However, the corresponding spell symbols of these magics were a part of the great Dao of nature in this world. After Ji Hao memorized these spell symbols, he would be able to create more profound and more powerful magics by himself.
The long night passed, and a beam of light appeared on the horizon. The daytime of this world was coming.
Ji Hao had already learned the language of this world, and had a preliminary understanding of this world. He sat in front of Mu Jiuxiao, narrowed his eyes, looked at this old man from head to toe, who had been sweating ceaselessly, and asked, "What do you think I should do to you?"
Mu Jiuxiao trembled intensely, unable to say a word. He didn't know where Ji Hao came from, what he wanted to do, or what his purpose was, neither did he know about Ji Hao's personality. Therefore, he couldn't answer Ji Hao's question at all.
He only knew that Ji Hao was powerful, indescribably powerful. Perhaps, only those holy spirits, who stood high above the masses, could rival Ji Hao.
Therefore, he dared not to say a word, in case that Ji Hao would slaughter the entire island and wipe out his clan if he said a single wrong word.
While trembling, Mu Jiuxiao subconsciously looked at the statue of holy spirits on the table.
"Eh? You want your ancestors to save you? "Ji Hao smiled.
Mu Jiuxiao immediately kneeled on the ground, tremblingly saying 'dare not'.
Ji Hao shook his head and prepared to say something. But abruptly, a series of shouts came from outside. Ji Hao was already familiar with the language of this world. He heard people cheering loudly, "Holy spirits' messengers! Elder, holy spirits' messengers! Elder, come out and welcome holy spirits' messengers! "
Ji Hao paused. Mu Jiuxiao immediately raised his head and tremblingly glanced at Ji Hao.
"You see, holy spirits' messengers are here … This is extremely rare. Holy spirits' messengers are much more powerful than me!" A dim beam of light silently flashed across Mu Jiuxiao's dark-green eyes.
He was forced by Ji Hao to teach him the language of this world and some common sense, but this didn't mean that Mu Jiuxiao and Ji Hao were close. If possible, Mu Jiuxiao certainly didn't want Ji Hao to live.
