"This … this is too exaggerated!" Zhang Xiaohou did not come back to his senses for a long time.
It was Zhang Xiaohou's first time seeing so many winged beasts of different species floating in the sky. It felt like the blue sky was filled with feathers!
Zhang Xiaohou climbed back to the Vine Canopy Layer and quickly found his way back to the team.
Something big was about to happen when so many winged beasts had shown up, and most of them were of advanced species!
…
"Something big is about to happen!"
Zhang Xiaohou blurted out when he saw Mofan. He was panting heavily.
"What is it?" Mofan asked with a confused look.
"Winged beasts, the sky is full of winged beasts. There are so many of them. It feels like they are performing some kind of ritual in the sky," Zhang Xiaohou said.
Mofan and the others were currently surrounded by countless plants. It felt like they were in a forest without any sunlight, so they could not see the sky outside.
After hearing this, Mo Fan found a spot where he could see the outside. As he glanced over, he was immediately stunned by the sight before him!
It was just as Zhang Xiaohou had mentioned. The sky was filled with winged beasts. They were beating their wings, but they were not flying around randomly. They were hovering in the sky solemnly.
The feathers of the winged beasts were like stars in the sky. The sunlight was shining on the feathers of the winged beasts, giving them a rainbow-like glow. It was simply a miracle!
"What's going on? Why are they hovering in the sky?" Mofan was utterly confused.
"As I thought, as I thought … HAHAHA, it's finally here!" Jiang Shaoxu suddenly yelled excitedly.
The others looked at her in confusion. Jiang Shaoxu blurted out excitedly, "My brother mentioned in his notes that the winged beasts of Mount Baiba will hold a ceremony at the end of the year when the Wind of Sorrow is the strongest. Every winged beast is allowed to participate in the ceremony!"
"Why would the winged beasts have a ceremony too? Don't tell me the ceremony is for them to stay under the blue sky and bask in the sunlight to see whose feathers are the prettiest?" Zhao Manyan said.
"Of course not, it's not a beauty contest!" Jiang Shaoxu yelled.
"Then what are they doing?"
"They are waiting for the Wind of Sorrow. The Wind of Sorrow has its own pattern. Apparently, a special gust of the Wind of Sorrow will blow upward, allowing the winged beasts to reach the legendary Sacred Waterfall!" Jiang Shaoxu said.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Manyan was utterly confused.
"I heard from the elders of the Qinling Mountains that the winged beasts don't respect strength, but the ability to fly. Therefore, the higher the winged beasts that can fly, the more respect they will receive. The Emperor of Feathers is the strongest winged beast in this regard, "Zhang Xiaohou added.
"That's right, that's how the winged beasts are ranked. The Emperor of Feathers is the winged beast that can fly to the highest altitude and reach the Sacred Waterfall. Every once in a while, the winged beasts will hold a ceremony to ascend to the highest altitude in the Wind of Sorrow to establish their status and residence on Mount Baiba for the next few years. They are currently preparing for the ceremony! "Jiang Shaoxu said.
"So the winged beast that can fly to the highest altitude will be the Emperor of Feathers for the next few years?" Mofan asked.
"Yes! The winged beasts view this ceremony as very important. They will do everything they can to climb to a higher level. That's the only way they can earn the respect of the other winged beasts! "Jiang Shaoxu nodded.
"But aren't there too many winged beasts taking part in the ceremony?" Zhao Manyan said.
"That's why it's really a ceremony for the winged beasts," Jiang Shaoxu said with great anticipation.
"But what does it have to do with us?" Zhao Manyan said.
"It has a lot to do with it. Didn't you want to go to a higher level? If we use normal methods, we will be surrounded by the winged beasts before we reach the Tree of Vows. The Wind of Sorrow is blowing in all directions once we reach the Ashwood Wind Layer. It's going to be difficult for us to fight the winged beasts there. However, if we blend in with the winged beasts and follow them to the Ashwood Wind Layer and the Skycloud Layer, we won't be attacked by the winged beasts as outsiders, "Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Wow, that's pretty bold of you. If we follow the winged beasts and compete for the Sky Layers, won't we be dead as soon as we show our wings?" Zhao Manyan said.
Zhao Manyan remembered Zhang Xiaohou's warning. They were not allowed to fly. Otherwise, the winged beasts would treat it as a provocation and attack them.
"Normally, if you don't have the status of a winged beast and fly at a height that doesn't belong to you, the winged beasts will hunt you down. However, during the ceremony, the Emperor of Winged Beasts will lift the restrictions. No matter your level or status, even the Winged Patrol Beasts, as long as you can fly at a height that other winged beasts can't reach, you will be granted a higher status as a winged beast! It's basically a reshuffling of the ranks of the winged beasts. It's also a chance for the winged beasts to change their destinies! With a higher status and a higher altitude, the winged beasts will evolve at a faster pace … "Jiang Shaoxu said.
"That sounds interesting," Mofan rubbed his chin and nodded.
"Brother Fan, it's a rare opportunity, since anyone with wings can participate in the ceremony. Humans are no exception!" Zhang Xiaohou was a little excited.
"Besides, it's the most reliable way to reach the height of the Tree of Vows. I've been observing the place for a long time. There are quite a lot of Ruler-level winged beasts here. It's going to be difficult to break through them," Jiang Shaoxu said.
"But in terms of flying ability, even a Wind Mage won't be able to compete with the winged beasts. We're going to be knocked down by them easily," Bai Hongfei said.
"Not necessarily. If we can help my Moon Silkworm evolve, I believe Little Moon Moth Phoenix will be able to bring us to the height we want," Yu Shishi said.
The Moon Silkworm was currently sitting on Yu Shishi's shoulder. The little silkworm was looking around with her round eyes. She had an urge to grow a pair of wings when she saw so many winged beasts waiting to soar into the sky.
The Moon Moth Phoenix was a winged beast, too. Even after being reincarnated, she could still feel that this place was her home.
"That's reasonable. Little Moon Moth Phoenix can bring us to the top! "
