What distinguishes man from beast

What is hidden in the yellow beast mountain? How big are these lands?

How long did humans live here? What makes us different from beasts?

What is there beyond the sky? What are the stars? How vast is the universe?

What is the universe? Is it empty or full of life?

Is there in the sky someone like me who asks themselves all these questions? Is there someone who has found the answers?

Like during his 20 years as a farmer, Anzar was filled with questions. He seeks answers and puts theories about what he is and where he is.

Before, he thought it didn't make sense. He was just a mortal, his lifespan too short, his abilities meaningless, and he couldn't check what was hiding or verify how accurate are his hypotheses.

But now he told himself, maybe if I live long enough, perhaps if I'm strong enough, if I'm fast enough, I can surpass the limit of human nature, perhaps I can uncover the secret of the universe.

He tried to fly as Hight as possible with his technique but reached a certain height his body could not bear the cold and the pressure of the atmosphere. He was amazed to find that the land under his feet seemed endless as far as his sight could reach.

Anzar has been in the city of Agadir for three months now. He and Kahina continued to scout at the border. She has managed to breakthrough in the middle of the Qi condensation realm.

During this time, Anzar discreetly targeted four rogue cultivators at the qi gathering realm and then brought them to his Cave Abode to improve his experiments about the body of the cultivators and also about the mystery of the meridian.

He still can't unlock others' meridians, but he can now hide his meridians. So even if someone were to check on his body, he could reveal to them the numbers he wanted. This was a massive relief for him.

He can hide his aura from others in the city, but in front of Elder Adan, a Nascent Soul Realm expert, he knows that the elder will find out about his recent breakthrough.

Anzar spent a lot of time studying the wonder of arrays. He bought a lot of books and increased his knowledge in this specialization. He can now replicate all the low-rank arrays he had purchased without using a wooden disc but only with some Low source stone.

Giss and the other outer disciples continue to train harder under the watch of their protector.

Anzar, despite some minor expenses, now has 1 400 000 Low source stones. He had to buy a new storage ring because of this large quantity.

Elder Adan will come to the city every three months to collect the sect's income and look at the overall situation.

For two weeks now, Anzar had reported that the number of scouts from the wolf clan was increasing, and sometimes he and Kahina couldn't even get inside the forest.

Despite his reports, he only got '' keep monitoring" as a response.

Thanks to his investigations in the city, he knows the war is raging between the Souss Sword sect and the Wolf clan in their respective borders.

The Souss Sword sect, with the help of the Pink Flower sect, is pushing deeper to the west and managed to take control over several cities in this region.

However, he is only a protector of a gate in one of the many cities. He doesn't have access to all the information and the number of forces engaged.

Despite that, from the little information he has, he deduced the reason for the appearance of the tide beast.

Since the last war 150 years ago, the Blue Cloud Sect has annexed the Yellow Best Mountain, which once was under the control of the Wolf clan.

They then banned wild beast hunting for everyone, including their members, to allow a tide to occur.

The reason? Very simple, it is to allow the tide beast to occur in the surrounding villages and cities. The sect will then come to rescue everyone. The prestige of the sect increases, as well as the dependence on others over them.

If they focus on reducing the number of Beast, no one will notice their work, which will be taken for granted.

There is also the question of resource management. Letting the number of beast increase and then only hunting them when the tide emerges is the most effective way to get as many cores in less time.

With this method of doing things, of course, the mortals and weak cultivators are the ones to suffer the most. But they are ignorant. They think wild beasts cause their suffering and can only thank the sect for their work.

With this strategy, the sect controls the population.

The people must be left with just enough to live, so they are always afraid of losing it.

--------------------

At the exact moment, when Anzar is in his mansion getting ready to meet with Elder Adan, not too far in the mountains, thousands of wild beasts of different sizes and shapes rush out of the Yellow Beast mountains towards the villages not far from the city of Agadir.

Anzar immediately received a communication talisman from Uzmir. He placed him in that location to scouts and informed him when the Beast tide started.

After receiving the report, he said to himself:

"What distinguishes man from beast is that the beast doesn't always have to struggle to behave like a man."
