Whenever the “Six-Winged Flying Lizard” grew tired from flying, Yan Qiyang would have everyone land and rest, waiting for the “Six-Winged Flying Lizard” to recover before setting off again.

This approach, although somewhat time-consuming, undoubtedly maximized the conservation of the five travelers’ mana.

Not everyone possessed Spirit Crystals on their person, nor did everyone have a Purification Stone Pot like Zhou Chun, which could be used to meditate and restore mana in the wild.

Normally, Cultivators would travel as they were now, entrusting the task of movement entirely to Mount Beasts.

Otherwise, Mount Beasts in the Cultivation World wouldn’t sell so well and command such high prices.

Tianyuan Immortal City was not especially distant from Doran Prairie, with a direct distance of less than three thousand miles.

After a short break midway, the “Six-Winged Flying Lizard” directly carried Zhou Chun and the others over Doran Prairie.

Although it was called Doran Prairie, the area was not exclusively grassland.

In fact, Doran Prairie spanned a wide area and included diverse terrains such as mountains, lakes, and rivers.

It was only because grasslands occupied most of the region that it was named Doran Prairie.

Overlooking Doran Prairie from the sky, the scenery was undeniably majestic.

One could see undulating grassy slopes forming a chain that resembled ocean waves, except they were a lush green color.

The level grasslands were endless, home to herds of cattle, sheep, and horses, as well as many flocks of birds.

At the border between the Great Zhou Kingdom and Doran Prairie, many Human Clan herdsmen were grazing their livestock.

However, to avoid rousing the ire of the prairie’s rulers, the “Multi-Winged Clan,” Human Cultivators would deliberately control these herdsmen’s grazing grounds, preventing them from venturing too deep into the prairie.

The flight path chosen by Yan Qiyang for Zhou Chun and the others was carefully selected to avoid the large tribes of the “Multi-Winged Clan.”

However, after penetrating a few hundred miles into the prairie, Zhou Chun quickly spotted living members of the “Multi-Winged Clan.”

The members of this Alien Race, “Multi-Winged Clan,” were as their name suggested, each individual naturally having wings and the ability to glide and fly.

They were generally humanoid in shape, with slightly shorter legs tipped with clawed feet, resembling wolf’s claws.

At the same time, the “Multi-Winged Clan” had elongated faces with hooked noses, pointed chins, small eye sockets with slender pupils, and small ears. Their eyes were typically sky blue, though some had emerald green or silver-white colors.

They had comparatively more body hair, probably to keep warm and shield against the wind while flying.

In contrast to their short legs, their arms were somewhat overly long, and they had only four fingers on each hand.

The most distinct feature of the “Multi-Winged Clan,” of course, lay in their wings.

Ordinary “Multi-Winged Clan” members generally had one pair of feathered wings, with colors typically being black, gray, green, white, blue, or red, with occasional other mixed hues.

These ordinary “Multi-Winged Clan” members were like the Mortals among the Human Clan, and even their lifespans were generally shorter than those of the human race, averaging only around fifty to sixty years.

But if a newly born “Multi-Winged Clan” member possessed four wings, then they had the potential to be a Mage, similarly to how Cultivators could become such.

Above the four-winged ones were those with six and eight wings; the number of wings represented the potential and strength of a “Multi-Winged Clan” Mage.

The Mage heritage of the “Multi-Winged Clan” was extremely well-established, ranging orderly from the First to Fifth Order, each comprising lower, middle, and upper ranks defined as Low-Level Mage, Mid-Level Mage, High-Level Mage, Great Mage, and Saint Mage.

They could also craft Magic Artifacts and Talismans, tame Demon Beasts, grow Spiritual Medicine, understand how to set up Arrays, and even refine potions.

It was thanks to this comprehensive cultivation system, similar to that of Human Cultivators, that the “Multi-Winged Clan” became the dominant force over Doran Prairie, one of the few powerful Alien Races coexisting with the Human Clan.

It was said that if the Human side had not exerted pressure, the “Multi-Winged Clan” might have already eradicated the other Alien Race, the “Pattern-Faced Clan,” at the other end of Doran Prairie.

When comparing Mages of the “Multi-Winged Clan” at the same level with Human Cultivators, it was difficult to say who was stronger.

The reason was that both sides had their geniuses and their mediocre members.

However, compared to Human Cultivators, the advantage of the “Multi-Winged Clan” Mages lay in their natural ability to fly, and they were no slouches in terms of speed either. This gave them a significant edge at the First and Second Orders.

Their disadvantages were equally apparent, primarily that their lifespans remained shorter than those of Human Cultivators.

Low-Level Mages only had a lifespan of up to eighty years, Mid-Level Mages could live to one hundred fifty years, High-Level Mages were capped at three hundred years, and it was said that Great Mages could reach six to seven hundred years of age.

This was significantly less than their Human counterparts at the same level of cultivation.

Just like Human Cultivators, Mages of the “Multi-Winged Clan” would also congregate in areas rich in Spiritual Energy and would not mix with the ordinary members of their clan.

But the “Multi-Winged Clan” commoners were much closer to their Mages. Both the commoners and Mage groups existed in the form of tribes, sharing the same tribal names. Commoner tribes usually settled around the Mage tribes, seeking the protection of the Mages.

That day, after the “Six-Winged Flying Lizard” grew weary, it landed in a forest at the command of Yan Qiyang for rest.

Since “Multi-Winged Clan” members could all fly, choosing a dense forest as a resting place was a strategic decision to evade their watchful eyes.

Besides, the forest was a place the “Multi-Winged Clan” disliked venturing into, as their wings could easily get caught by tree branches.
