Fairy and Demon Gods

Chapter 462 Better to have none than something bad: The current state of the Northern Wilderness!
Kunpeng vaguely felt that he would also gain something extraordinary later on, which might even affect the final outcome of the struggle for the Holy Throne of Zixiao Palace!

Now, with the dual support of the Northern Darkness Will and the Yuan Phoenix Will, his potential resources should not be underestimated!
However, Kunpeng still had some doubts and regrets. He always felt that the current 'weight' seemed to be lacking.

This time, when he preached and accepted disciples, the vast Northern Wilderness and Phoenix Clan couldn't even muster a single Grand Luo Realm expert.
This wasn't because he was greedy or insatiable, but rather a strange, inexplicable feeling that arose from the depths of his being. Although he couldn't think of a solution for the time being, he was still full of anticipation and confidence!
The triple warnings from Yuan Feng, Fu Xi and his sister, and the will of Bei Ming, along with the double blessing, not only raised Kunpeng's vigilance but also ignited his fighting spirit and maximized his expectations!
With acid and bird officially incorporated into the Northern Underworld Wall, this grand event is drawing to a close.

Having read this far, you gentlemen must think that the Northern Wilderness lineage is nothing special, bearing the name of a wilderness in vain, yet its talents are dwindling and its strongmen are few and far between.

Yes and no!
As one of the five wildernesses, the Northern Wilderness is indeed barren, far inferior to the Western Wilderness and Central Wilderness, which are full of talents. It can only be a pair of unfortunate brothers with the Southern Wilderness!
As for the Western Wilderness, its power alone is enough to suppress any other two wildernesses!

However, we cannot only look at one side of a problem.

The Northern Wilderness and the Southern Wilderness are indeed weak, but because they are both barren mountains and treacherous waters, there are many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, among which there are quite a few powerful creatures, but they are not suitable to be included in the inner circle!

These kinds of fools are greedy, wild, cunning, and ruthless. They are all good at causing trouble and have no loyalty whatsoever.

Kunpeng adheres to the principle of valuing quality over quantity, preferring to have fewer but better products!

He didn't want to follow the example of the Tongtian Sect Leader, who recruited disciples indiscriminately, leading to the decline of the Jie Sect's fortunes, heavy karma, and endless entanglements of cause and effect.

When the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods arrived, even the disciples and servants were forced to accept the calamity, resulting in the downfall of the once-glorious sect and the tragic end of losing all face!
Kunpeng naturally saw several powerful figures among the spirits, two of whom even had the aura of a Great Luo Immortal. However, these people were unruly, wild, and ruthless, surrounded by blood energy and burdened by karma. They were all vicious and wicked!

Animals such as the serpent, the sworn brother, the fat snake, and the ant are among the best. They each have their own unique abilities, but they are all ferocious and bloodthirsty. Kunpeng really doesn't think much of them!

However, when it comes to the most famous creatures in the Northern Wilderness, we must mention two of the four ancient ferocious beasts: Taotie and Qiongqi!
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Northern Mountains Classic, records: "On Mount Gouwu... there is a beast that looks like a sheep with a human face, its eyes are under its armpits, it has tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like that of an infant. It is called Paoxiao, and it eats people."

This roe owl is none other than the Taotie! One of the four infamous ancient ferocious beasts, it is a symbol of greed and also a native of the northern wilderness.

As for Qiongqi, although there is some controversy, it is basically confirmed that it belongs to the Northern Wilderness lineage!
The *Classic of Mountains and Seas*, specifically the *Classic of the Northern Seas*, records: "Qiongqi resembles a tiger and has wings." The *Classic of Mountains and Seas*, specifically the *Classic of the Western Mountains*, states: "On Mount Gui, there is a beast that resembles an ox, with hedgehog-like hair, named Qiongqi. Its cry is like the howl of a dog."

Although Qiongqi seems to oscillate between the Northern Wilderness and the Western Wilderness, frequently traveling back and forth, and its appearance varies, it is mostly due to disguise. This monster is basically a native of the Northern Wilderness.

The Huainanzi (specifically the chapter on the shape of the earth) and the Records of the Grand Historian (specifically the chapters on the Five Emperors) describe Qiongqi as being born from the Guangmo wind.

Guangmo wind, one of the eight winds, is located in the north and is the wind of the north, corresponding to the winter solstice.

The name Guangmo also comes from the story of "Guangmo Wilderness" in Zhuangzi, which means the vast and open land in the north.

"Guang" means broad, and "Mo" means vast; together they form the image of a mighty north wind.

Qiongqi also has the connotation of being a descendant (son) of the wind god, and the god of the north wind.

It is a strange creature that combines the characteristics of a god, a monster, and a villain! It is a symbol of treachery! This may be one of the reasons why its image has plummeted!
However, these two evil spirits and ferocious beasts, as prominent figures and villains in the Northern Wilderness, are not present at this moment.

Having been severely defeated by Kunpeng and losing their precious treasure, the two evil creatures have long lost the ability to compete with Kunpeng on the same stage and have fallen further and further behind!
Even the Ice God, the Wind and Ocean Ancestral Witch Yuqiang, the Rain and Ice and Snow Ancestral Witch Xuanming, the Time Ancestral Witch Zhujiuyin, the Thunder God Qiangliang, and the Great Witch Jiufeng all originated from the Northern Wilderness or reside there!
Therefore, the overall strength of the Northern Wilderness is still acceptable, but the forces are complex and polarized, making it difficult for virtuous people to dominate. As a result, the disciples recruited this time are somewhat of average to below average strength.
