Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Chapter 169 Liu Man Hatches

The egg cracked completely. Two unblinking eyes looked at Liu Feng and the world around it.

"I am finally outside that wretched egg. I can see the world now!" the cub spoke even though it was, well, just a cub.

"What are you? A tiger? You seem like a tiger." Liu Feng reached to pat Liu Man's head, but hesitated at the end.

"I remember now. I can feel it. That was why I felt such rage when that dragon dared to try and poke around me." Liu Man said, but his expressions were just adorable.

"Wait a minute. Are you a mythical beast, like the white tiger?" Liu Feng paused for a moment.

"Yes. I am the white tiger for this generation." Liu Man nodded.

"You are the white tiger for THIS generation? How does that work? Are you saying that only one white tiger a generation exists, and only one azure dragon, black tortoise, and vermillion bird exist for every generation?" Liu Feng asked.

"You put the dots pretty well. I am one of the constellation beasts. I derive my power, and my memories from the Baihu constellation in the west. That is why I had those inherited memories. And now that I am out of the egg, I can finally understand everything." Liu Man said.

"So you are a constellation beast. That is wild. You really are a mythical beast. But now, we have to find a way out of the forest. The Black Iron forest, they called it. I am sure that it is somewhere near the Black Swamp Forest, but I did not get to see the map so I don't know how close they are." Liu Feng said.

"I have a way to leave. Let us wait till night. That way, I can try and connect to the Baihu Constellation and see if I am able to understand where to go." Liu Man said.

"That is wild. Being a constellation beast really has its benefits, doesn't it? But I think that it is better for you to stay inside my robes for a while. We are in a forest where there are so many beasts that can tear us apart. I am in the Nascent Soul realm. Although I dare not claim that I can beat the beasts, I know that I can run away pretty easily." Liu Feng said.

"I don't deny that. But do you realize something very interesting? The dead beast inside your spatial ring is none other than the king of the forest. With the blood of the king on you, many, many beasts will stay far away from you. Still, you are right. Better cautious so that we do not have that much trouble." Liu Man nodded.

"And just how strong are you? I mean, how do you even grow stronger?" Liu Feng asked.

"Beast cores. You did not take out the Flood dragon's beast core, so you still haven't seen what one is yet. But I shall lay claim on it. Once I am able to devour beast cores, I will not even need to cultivate. I will grow stronger with time." Liu Man said.

"And how powerful are you now?" Liu Feng asked.

"I just came out of the egg. I don't know how I was in an egg in the first place. I would think that one member of the winged tiger family gave birth to me, leading to this different state. But I am weakened. I can take care of a Core formation stage cultivator, and if things are desperate, I can risk my life to take care of a Nascent Soul realm cultivator." Liu Man said.

"And what if you are no longer weakened, and you have consumed the flood dragon's core? Can you take care of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators then?" he asked.

"With ease. With ease." Liu Man said without any hesitation.

"You have got to be kidding me. I worked my a$$ off for a year almost just to get to the Nascent Soul Realm, and in just a few days, you can beat me? This is unfair. Totally unfair." Liu Feng shook his head.

"You humans are different from mythical beasts. Only one white tiger can ever surface per generation. And our generation is different from yours. The lifespan of a mythical beast is thousands of years. My predecessor existed almost five hundred years ago. That is why humans control the world and are the more threatening race." Liu Man shook his head.

Liu Feng and Liu Man continued to talk until the sky turned dark. Then, Liu Man walked out in his tiny body and gazed at the stars.

"We need to go that way," he said and pounced onto Liu Feng's sleeve.

Liu Feng nodded and he walked in the direction that Liu Man pointed. He had nothing to do after all.

Now that he had a lot of Qi as well, he started using the Kun Peng Movement arts to traverse this distance in as little time as possible.

As the trees rushed past him, Liu Feng glanced at the tiny cub that was clutching his chest.

"If you are one of the four constellation beasts, then when will the other three come out? Or have they already come out?" Liu Feng asked.

"The black tortoise, well the black tortoise has never died. For millions of years, it has survived. I know where it is, but I don't think that we will be going near it anytime soon. The vermillion bird is similar. It is a phoenix in many ways, and it goes through a constant cycle of rebirth. So these two have always existed from the beginning of time. The only constellation beasts who have to reincarnate are me and azure dragon. I am sure that since three of the four are outside now, he will also come into existence." Liu Man said.
