Chapter 40: The Talk With The Inhabitants
Outside the cave, many kinds of spirits and beasts were already surrounding the entrance. Most of them looked nervous as they waited for the being to come out from the cave. Following their past sovereign's last will, they came to this place to meet their new leader.
The congregation of spirits and beasts created an unusual spectacle, and their sheer number was enough to form a large army. They kept waiting until they heard footsteps and saw a silhouette coming towards them from the darkness.
When the being showed himself in full display, some of the spirits bowed their heads, knelt, or even prostrated without hesitation. The beasts, varying in size from 60 meters tall to a little insect, also bowed their heads when Aldrian revealed himself. He looked at them with a calm face and inspected each one of them.
"The highest level spirit is middle emperor spirit and for the beast the highest is high king stage." Aldrian thought. He then asked them,
"Is there any higher cultivation level being in this forest than those already here?"
"No, young master. We who are gathered here already include the strongest," one of the spirits, the strongest one, answered Aldrian. He looked at this spirit with a fish head but a human body.
