Wood Spirit Village

Burial God Great Wilderness!

Upon hearing those four words, Nan Feng and the others all tensed up.

"The Burial God Great Wilderness... What a domineering name!"

Dugu Yuqing murmured, "Does this name have any origin?"

Yunxi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said:

"I heard my grandfather say that Deity were indeed buried in this wilderness, and there seem to be many things that are fearsome... I don't know the specifics!"

At this point, Wu Dade continued with another question:

"So, what level of existence is a god? They seem to be much stronger than a holy emperor!"

After all, they had interacted with God before and after.

In the Yin Realm, when the Xuanwu Turtle was first subdued, it carried a statue of a true god with it.

Later, it seems that Heavenly Profound Old Ancestor and others even worshipped a god called "Profound Yin True God"!

Yunxi said:

"The Saint Emperor is merely the pinnacle of the Saintly Path; only after the Saintly Path does the Divine Path begin."

"The first realm of the Divine Path is called the Dao Integration Realm. After that, there are realms such as Condensing the Spirit, Spirit Refining, Spirit Merging, Communicating with the Spirit Transformation into the Spirit. Only when one reaches the Spirit Transformation realm can one be considered half a 'god'!"

"Gods are also divided into different levels, but they are all very powerful. Even the lowest level, the 'wandering god,' can command the worship of all living beings in the world and enjoy incense offerings."

After listening, Wu Dade, Nan Feng, and the others had a better understanding.

This cultivation sequence... is the path to godhood!

"What level is a true divine divination master?"

Jiang Li then asked a question.

Yunxi said, "True gods... I've never seen them before, they should all be in heaven."

Jiang Li understood; he knew that the heavens Yunxi spoke of were naturally the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Divine Realm.

They all asked Yunxi questions and learned a lot about this world.

Every realm in the Yang Realm is incredibly vast.

The path to divinity is the pursuit of all cultivators.

Unlike the dilapidated Yin Realm, the sacred path is more complete and the world is in perfect harmony in the Yang Realm. Therefore, it is not difficult for cultivators in the Yang Realm to pass through this stage.

Even in the Yang Realm, those who have attained sainthood and achieved perfection are not called emperors.

In the Yang Realm, the Holy Emperor is merely a cultivator at the "Peering into the Path" level.

Only by reaching this stage can one glimpse the divine path, hence the name "Glimpsing the Path".

The Great Ruin Realm is vast and boundless; this Burial God Great Wilderness alone is already millions of miles wide.

"In any case, since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. Everything is surely under Master's control!"

The Nan Feng is blowing.

Everyone nodded. Whether it was the Yin Realm or the Yang Realm, as long as they were in this mountain village and by their master's side, they felt safe and had a sense of belonging.

This place feels like home.

At that moment, not far away, Li Fan finally walked over, carrying the Little White Cat.

"You're finally back!"

Seeing the group of disciples at the village entrance, Li Fan couldn't help but smile and speak!

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

It was so dark just now, it felt like the sky was about to collapse.

Now that the disciples have returned, the weather has cleared up.

I'm relieved now.

A group of disciples turned around and saw Li Fan. They all stepped forward and bowed.

"Greetings, Master!"

Li Fan waved his hand and laughed:

"No need for formalities, it's good to be back!"

"Will this long trip be safe?"

Nan Feng:

"Reporting to Master, everything went smoothly!"

She thought for a moment, and then said:

"But... when we entered the Yang Realm, Sister Jiang Xue... got separated from us."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan was taken aback.

"The Yang Realm...?"

He couldn't help but glance outside the village; it did seem somewhat unfamiliar.

"Where is this place?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"This is the Great Ruin Realm!"

Yunxi spoke, looking at the Great Devil King. She thought to herself, "It seems the Great Devil King isn't from the Great Ruin Realm."

The Great Ruin Realm is virtually unknown among countless worlds, so a terrifying being like the Great Devil King should surely come from a world of a higher rank!

Yes, that must be it.

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

The Great Ruin Realm...

We... have entered another world?

However, after thinking about it, he understood.

After all, just a few days ago, he heard Yunxi, Huo Ling'er, and others say that someone wanted to World-Ending!

He panicked, which is why he sent his disciples away to find a way to escape.

It seems that the original world has been completely destroyed.

But did their Small Mountain Village somehow stumble into another world?

Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn't help but feel excited. Great, that's wonderful!

I've survived the end of the world! My luck is incredible!

He immediately addressed the Nan Feng:

"It's alright. Since Jiang Xue has also entered this world... we'll meet again if fate allows."

"Come back with me. I'll cook you a delicious meal tonight."

Having survived such a disaster, we should definitely have a good meal to celebrate!

Upon hearing this, the group of disciples were instantly overjoyed.

"Thank you, Master!"

They immediately returned to the Small Courtyard.

And at this moment.

Burial God Great Wilderness.

In the boundless wilderness, ferocious beasts roam freely, and danger lurks everywhere.

In a remote part of the wilderness, there is another mountain village.

At first glance, the village appears rustic and primitive, with almost all the buildings constructed of wood.

The village is surrounded by a half-meter-high wooden fence made of peculiar gray tree branches, clearly separating it from the outside world when viewed from a distance.

At this moment, at the village entrance, a group of men, women, and children stood in a line.

They wore primitive clothing made of animal skins and other materials. The men all exuded a wild and untamed spirit, and were almost all tall and strong, while the women mostly wore coarse cloth clothes.

At the front of the procession was an elderly man with white hair. His body was hunched over, but one could still vaguely discern that he must have been a magnificent man in his youth.

He is Mu Rantian, the Village Chief of Wood Spirit Village!

Although Mu Rantian was old, his steps were steady and his demeanor extraordinary. Step by step, he walked towards the Old Vine in front of him!

It was an old grapevine with only one branch remaining, exuding a certain extraordinary aura.

But... the entire Old Vine was sparsely alive, its branches and leaves withered, leaving only a few yellowed old leaves hanging on the vine.

"Men, women, and children of Wood Spirit Village pay homage to the Vine God!"

Mu Rantian shouted!

Everyone bowed in greeting.

When Mu Rantian saw the withered state of the Old Vine, a deep worry immediately appeared on his face!

The Vine God... is the Sacrificial Spirit of their Wood Spirit Village!

The powerful forces of the Great Ruin Realm almost never venture into the Burial God Great Wilderness. On this land, the only human race is scattered in many primitive villages and tribes.

But in the Great Wilderness, dangers lurk everywhere. To resist those terrible perils... one must rely on Sacrificial Spirit!

Generally speaking, every village, tribe, etc., will Sacrificial Spirit, and those Sacrificial Spirit often come from the wilderness.

The Sacrificial Spirit were varied, some being powerful ferocious beasts, others extraordinary plants, and so on...

Some Sacrificial Spirit are kind, some are Sacrificial Spirit...

The old Old Vine in Wood Spirit Village is called the Vine God by the villagers.

They have been protecting Wood Spirit Village for hundreds of years.

But... it seems that the lifespan of the Vine God has come to an end.

When the Vine God withers and turns into nothing but dry branches... their Wood Spirit Village will completely lose its Sacrificial Spirit.

Without the Sacrificial Spirit, destruction is imminent!

"Except for the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, and women, everyone in the village... starting today, leaves the village and goes to the wilderness!"

Mu Rantian spoke loudly:

"We must find a treasure that can prolong the life of the Sacrificial Spirit... otherwise, Wood Spirit Village is doomed!"

"Set off!"

At his command, almost all the adult men in the village immediately took their bows and arrows, swords and spears, and left Wood Spirit Village!

"Grandpa Village Chief... can I go with Brother Mu Jing and the others?"

At this moment, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly walked up behind Mu Rantian and spoke expectantly.

She was dressed in coarse cloth, but she was quite beautiful, with clear eyes and skin as smooth as jade.

Mu Rantian turned around, glanced at the girl, shook his head, and said:

"Wanqing, you can stay in the village..."

But Mu Wanqing stubbornly shook her head and said:

"No!"

"Grandpa Village Chief, my spiritual sense is the strongest. If I go, I'll have a better chance of finding the treasure that can extend the life of the Sacrificial Spirit!"

Mu Rantian looked at Mu Wanqing with deep helplessness.

"Grandpa Village Chief, let Wanqing come with us. We'll protect her."

At this moment, a young man dressed in leather armor and carrying an iron Iron Spear walked over.

His name is Mu Jing, and he is one of the strongest young people in Wood Spirit Village. His cultivation has reached the Self-Severing Realm!

Mu Rantian thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

Well, if the Sacrificial Spirit really passes away, the situation these children will face will probably be even more difficult!

It's good to let them go out and gain some experience.

Go ahead.

He spoke.

"Thank you so much, Grandpa Village Chief!"

Mu Wanqing immediately cheered.

They immediately left Wood Spirit Village and headed deep into the wilderness.

The group of more than ten people, guided by Mu Wanqing's powerful spiritual senses, avoided many powerful beast territories along the way.

"Wanqing, where are we going?"

After a long while, the group stopped, and Mu Jing looked at Mu Wanqing.

They ventured deep into the wilderness in search of treasure, but in reality, they had no clear direction.

It's just a vast wilderness; we can only try our luck.

Mu Wanqing stopped, calmed her mind, and carefully sensed it.

"Um?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she pointed in a direction and said:

"That direction... the aura seems to have changed!"

"The Spiritual Qi seems to be... even more concentrated than before!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jing and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they said:

"Over there... the Gray Mist Mountain Range?"

They were quite familiar with this vast wilderness.

In the area Mu Wanqing pointed out, there is a mountain range that is shrouded in eerie gray fog all year round!

According to the Village Chief, the gray fog might be related to yin and yang!

They dared not venture out to explore, for provoke something extraordinary that could bring disaster to Wood Spirit Village. Moreover, that area was also home to overlord-level creatures such as the Howling Desolation Tiger and the Sky-Pouncing Eagle!

"Yes! I feel... as if the Spiritual Qi of this vast wilderness is slowly flowing in that direction..."

Mu Wanqing spoke confidently.

"A treasure capable of attracting Spiritual Qi?"

Mu Jing pondered for a moment, then raised his head, a determined glint in his eyes, and said:

"Walk!"

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained; let's give it a try for the Sacrificial Spirit!"

The group of young people all nodded and moved forward together!

And they, much later!

Suddenly, another group of people appeared on the spot!

The leader was a wild-looking man with a sinister smirk on his face.

"The Old Vine in Wood Spirit Village are almost gone; they're searching for something to prolong the life of the Sacrificial Spirit..."

"Heh heh, we absolutely cannot let them find it!"

"Only when that Old Vine is destroyed can our Sophora Spirit Village annex their Wood Spirit Village!"

"Walk!"

The man led his men and caught up with them!
