Bab 62: Chapter 62 - Unique Swords Manual.

The Dark Moon Forest is a common danger towards the whole Azure Dragon City as well as many other closer regions.

And the reason is because of the large number of Rank 1 and Rank 2 beasts which occupy this forest.

The outer region itself is filled to the brim with rank 1 beast with occasional rank 2 that you might encounter if you're unlucky enough.

The dark moon forest also serves as a greater threat towards the Azure Dragon City and the surrounding regions and that's where purpose of the large families as well as the city lord comes into play.

This dark moon forest might not be much of a threat towards strong golden core Cultivators but unfortunately there's not a single golden core Cultivator in all of the surrounding regions.

As a golden core cultivator is highly valuable within all the large and medium sects, any and all golden core Cultivators get recruited in these sects as all sorts of elders or disciples.
