While Shen Yuan was following the beginner’s guide mission, a massive figure was quietly approaching the courtyard from the streets outside.
A Maine Coon cat, its fur yellow and white, its body large like a ferocious tiger, was slowly walking between the alleyways.
The Maine Coon’s movements were gentle, its large body making no noise at
all.
Shen Yuan’s small courtyard was in a quiet location, but there were still people passing along the alleyway in the early morning.
But it seemed as though no one noticed the tiger-sized cat, as if it did not exist
in their eyes at all.
Upon closer examination, it would be found that black demon air swirled around the Maine Coon, obstructing the ordinary person’s sight from prying into it.
In their eyes, the Maine Coon was just an ordinary stray cat.
As it approached Shen Yuan’s courtyard, the Maine Coon felt increasingly anxious.
That night, because it had greedily involved itself in a conflict between demons, the Maine Coon had thought that no matter how chaotic the situation, it could easily protect the king with its own power.
Who would have thought, the human hidden in the courtyard turned out to be a Void Refining True Monarch, slaying dozens of demons with a flick of his hand. Driven by instinctive fear, the Maine Coon chose to flee, running hundreds of miles to a wilderness.
It thought it was finally safe, only to turn its head and realize its king had been left behind.
For this matter, the Maine Coon felt both regret and fear.
It was well aware that its king was but a newborn kitten of less than a month old, with no fighting ability except for its special talent.
Even a large rat crawling out of the sewer could fight the king on equal grounds. Had the king safely escaped amidst the chaos? Or was it injured by the escaping demons? Or had it been captured by the powerful Void Refining True Monarch?
These questions became the nightmare that the Maine Coon did not want to face.
It returned to the old city area, gathered many stray cats to search for the king’s traces, and started investigating the surviving demons from that night. After eliminating various possibilities, the Maine Coon got the second worst result: its king had been captured by the Void Refining True Monarch.
For a long time thereafter, the Maine Coon struggled with whether or not to rescue its king.
That person was a Void Refining True Monarch who could shatter the void, even its fragmented inherited memories constantly warned it, this was a force it absolutely couldn’t match.
Even at the peak of the monster tribe’s era, only a handful of monster saints could stand against a Void Refining True Monarch, such power already surpassed the mortal boundary.
Even if it got slightly close to such a courtyard, it would be detected by the other party, let alone bring the king back.
The other person only needed a single thought to easily crush it to death. The Maine Coon had once thought about abandoning the old city area, going far away, and becoming a king of a barren mountain.
With its talent, as long as it could survive, there was a great chance it could become a Great Demon King in the future, why risk its life for an almost impossible task?
Moreover, the king was extraordinarily talented, maybe the Void Refining True Monarch would raise it well.
This thought wildly spread in the Maine Coon’s mind until one night it dreamed of its first encounter with the king.
At that time, it was beaten and badly injured over a fight for food by a wild dog,
it was on the brink of death.
just when it was lying next to a rubbish bin waiting for death, a cardboard box was casually thrown next to the rubbish bin in the alleyway, and there seemed to be some movement inside the box.
Not long after, a kitten that had just been born for a few days slowly crawled out of the cardboard box, came up to it, and gently licked its wounds.
Under the kitten’s weak licking, its fatal wound miraculously began to heal, and even additional inherited memories that weren’t its own appeared in the Maine Coon’s mind.
From that day on, it saw the frail little black cat as its king, maintaining respect for the kitten even as its own strength rapidly increased.
It was not just because of the noble bloodline, but also the salvation of that night.
The Maine Coon woke up from its sleep, completely abandoning the idea of escape. Even at the risk of death, it decided to rescue its great king from the hands of humans, the ones who had saved it.
Before this, the Maine Coon even participated in a monster tribe trade, successfully breaking through to the Qi Transformation Stage at the trade fair, becoming a true member of the monster tribe.
However, it was sad that for a Void Refining True Monarch, there seemed to be no difference between a demon at the Essence Refining Stage and Qi Transformation Stage.
The Maine Coon crawled closer to this small courtyard.
It felt some doubts in its heart.
“Even a Demon King can occupy a mountain range hundreds of miles around, but why does a grand human Void Refining True Monarch guard this small courtyard that’s lacking in Spirit Energy?”
This doubt was fleeting. It tried its best to keep its breath low, slowly climbing up the courtyard wall.
It mustered all of its courage to look into the courtyard, trying to find its great king, and confirm if the king had been imprisoned by the despicable humans. But what appeared before its eyes left it dumbfounded on the spot.
in the corner of the courtyard, a black and white kitten the size of a palm was squatting in the lawn with its butt up. The cute little white paw was digging a hole while throwing empty snack wrappers into it.
The way it looked was exactly like a kitten trying to hide the evidence after stealing some snacks.
Maine Coon: ???
In the training room, Shen Yuan, who had been in deep thought for a long time, finally made a delightful decision.
Abandon the task!
The spirit pool of the Falling Clouds Sect had dried up in these ten thousand years. There was no hope.
As for constructing a sect spirit pool himself, it was an utter fantasy. Even after searching the entire Primal Chaos Realm, he might still not be able to gather enough precious Spirit Insights to construct a spirit pool.
The reward for the novice guidance task was just a grotto residence token. If the Falling Clouds Sect were still around, he could trade it in for the permission to establish a grotto residence. But ten thousand years later, it was completely useless.
“Anyway, the final step of this novice mission isn’t something that must be completed. Even without a sect spirit pool, I can still breakthrough. Humans can’t die from holding in their pee, right?”
Despite saying this, Shen Yuan knew that giving up the task was the result of having no other option.
Once the novice guidance task is stalled, the subsequent main tasks and side tasks cannot be started.
This impact might not seem significant now. However, it might bring about unpredictable consequences in the future. This was precisely what Shen Yuan was most worried about.
“I can’t believe I completed two precious hidden achievements, but got stuck on this novice guidance task of constructing a sect spirit pool that could be done easily if there was anyone who could lend a hand.” Previously, I became a sect Master by accident and got through the bug of joining the sect. But now, there’s no solution for this sect spirit pool task.” Having decided to give up, Shen Yuan, whose mood had temporarily relaxed, mocked himself :
“If I can’t build a sect spirit pool, I can’t possibly go and steal a Natural Spirit Pool, can I?”
“That’s the lifeblood of the Dragon Sovereign of the Aquatic Tribe. Even the Falling Clouds Sect didn’t have the qualifications to contend for it. How could I possibly be the one?”
Although it was just a casual rant to relax, Shen Yuan suddenly paused after he said it out loud.
“Wait a minute. Are there any Dragon Sovereigns in this Last Method era?”
