Holy Beast Saintess 54 Lilith The Lynx

Most of the beasts had already been taught how to properly train by themselves but had yet to be given a cultivation method.

The only one of the group that had caught Shadows interest for now was the Lynx who was already strong without a.s.sistance.

The lynx had been watching the newly forming group with interest but Shadow had yet to fully trust her.

From the Lynx mischievous nature it would make things difficult for working with others and this was proven during the last battles.

However she had paid special attention to her surroundings when she did attack alone, she was not being reckless according to Korahs observations.

Her actions ended the enemies lives quickly and reduced the burdens of those on her team, her actions also drew the attention of the enemy making things easier for the weaker beasts.

Facing stronger opponents she may have suffered a loss with such tactics but Shadow let it go since it was their first official battle.

In the future mistakes would be made and they would be corrected.

Sometimes suffering a loss can promote growth and help identify ones flaws.

"Come." Shadow nodded towards the Lynx and beckoned her to follow.

The Lynx smiled mischievously and followed behind until they came to a stop where the two of them stood facing each other with n.o.body around. "Oya boss what did you call me out here to say?"

Seeing the lack of seriousness on the large cats face Shadow could only sigh helplessly. "You did well on the last battle which earned you the right to a name and cultivation manual. However the other beasts will be granted manuals suited towards their own bodies and attribute, I was wondering if you would like to be the first to test the effects of an unorthodox method since you do not have an attribute to a.s.sist you."

"Hmm….a name! I like.. But that would depend on whether it is something fun or not! Is there anything like that?" The Lynx blinked her eyes and tilted her head to the side as her body trembled with excitement.

Previously she had heard Shadow mention different human cultivators and what to expect in the future.

In the stories some of the martial cultivators had unique abilities to a.s.sist them in battle or to a.s.sist their cultivation speed.

A lot of the manuals they practiced were different from ordinary non attribute or attributed cultivation methods.

Some were even cla.s.sified as taboo or forbidden methods!

Taboo cultivation manuals can help increase the speed a martial cultivator increases their strength but they often have drawbacks which can affect their foundation and future achievements or even be harmful to the body if not practiced correctly.

Because of those reasons most righteous martial cultivators look down on such cultivators who destroy their futures for immediate gains.

Forbidden techniques are cla.s.sified as evil or demonic cultivation manuals that cause great calamities by martial cultivators who grow obsessed with power or become insane from using them without restraint.

An example would be the technique that Shadow had encountered before her death, her captor cultivated a forbidden soul method.

By killing others and capturing their immortal souls he can refine them to improve his talent and power!

Typically after someone dies the soul should enter the cycle of reincarnation even if an immortal cultivators soul had been destroyed but after such a method has been used the soul will no longer be able to reincarnate!

The very existence of such a cultivation method itself was forbidden and it was supposed to be destroyed, anyone who cultivated it would be slaughtered without mercy because they destroy the very balance of the world.

Unfortunately as time pa.s.sed it had resurfaced in the immortal world and had harmed Shadow and her sect.

"Yes there is a variety of different ones… However if you want something fun then maybe there would be one that may suit you. I will get to work on making it for you and teach you soon." Shadow coughed as she began to think about the possibilities of the Lynx before her.

Clearly she would not of wanted a regular method like the others so went ahead and decided to ask her to confirm her suspicions.

"Great! I wonder what you have in mind?" The Lynx smirked as she grew more interested.

She thought back to her many years alone after her mother pa.s.sed away leaving her as the remaining lynx race in the forest, she fought alone and gained her current strength but she hit a wall.

To grow in strength she had to consume a beast core stronger than her but she was now strongest of the beasts in the forest that weren't part of a clan, if she killed someone from a clan then she would become the whole clans enemy and be hunted down so her options were limited.

She could become a mate of a strong clans leader to gain benefits and a backing but she was the only one remaining of her bloodline, she would never submit to another but one of her own race so eventually she wandered and met lots of beasts.

She fought to survive and grew bored with it, eventually it became a game where she would test their will to survive as they fought a stronger opponent to briefly relieve her boredom.

Sometimes she would give them openings to exploit if she was feeling generous….

Some opponents would disappoint her as they fled which she chased down and killed, those who fought bravely would be allowed to live.

Those who interested her would be allowed to live and those who disappointed her expectations would be shown no mercy.

That is until she met Shadow, Korah and the group.

She was surprised at the little rabbits sneaky fighting methods and his bravery when they fought.

He seemed to be very young and not too strong but his fighting abilities were beyond what she had first thought.

As she stopped fighting she noticed how the deer did not wish to help the rabbit with the fight too, she came to a realisation!

She who usually had control over the lives of weaker beasts was being used to improve the little rabbits fighting experience….

Depression hit her fast and she decided not to bother attacking anymore, the small group had caught her interest so she decided she would stick around.

Most of all she noticed how the deer looked quite intelligent from her observations and possessed a unique charm that drew others to follow her.

Surely something exciting was bound to happen around these beasts she had met.

"I will tell you later when I have decided." Shadow looked deep in thought about the cultivation method and grinned towards the Lynx with a cunning smile. "Lilith Ever-Reach will be your name how about it?"

"Hmm… Does it have to be ever-reach? Oya can't I get a special name?" The Lynx playfully teased.

"No, we are of the same clan now and we all share the same family name. I am sure you can live with it." Shadow smirked at the Lynx as she thought. 'Hmph you are part of the family now, you dare back out now? You won't escape!'

In truth Shadow had some appreciation towards the Lynx' strength and talents but could not completely control her actions because shadow could not yet defeat the Lynx in a fight yet without using despicable means...

"Well then Lily you can head back now and I will teach you the cultivation method the next time we meet." Shadow nodded towards her with a blank face not exposing any flaws.

As she thought of the cultivation manuals that would suit the Lynx she remembered one that uses flowers and spirit herbs to transform their spirit energy.

So she decided on the name Lilith because it could be shortened to Lily a name of a flower.

Lilith the Lynx left without any suspicions, had she known the reason for the choice of name perhaps she would have given shadow a scolding like… 'How dare you name my great self after a flower! I am a fierce Lynx! A proud feline!'

Unfortunately she was a spirit beast, how could she know the names of different flowers?
