A Grain of Rice Could Lead to the Divine Path

Upon seeing the old Huai Tree, Mu Rantian and the others were all greatly surprised!

"This is... the Sacrificial Spirit of Sophora Spirit Village?!"

Mu Rantian exclaimed in shock, "It... it's here?!"

Mu Nanshan then said, "It... followed us all the way here!"

Their faces darkened.

The Sacrificial Spirit of Sophora Spirit Village... it is one of the strongest creatures in this area.

Now, they've actually left the village on their own initiative.

The old Huai Tree kept getting closer.

On the trunk of the locust tree, a hideous face suddenly appeared, twisted and cruel, like a ghost.

Those twisted tree eyes stared at Mu Rantian and the others, while also looking towards the Small Mountain Village behind them.

"It seems this is where you obtained your treasure..."

A burning glint flashed in the tree's eyes as it said:

"All the treasures here belong to me!"

"You... you will all die!"

Its size increased tenfold in an instant!

This is a Sacrificial Spirit... at the Dao Integration Realm!

The Dao Integration Realm Fourth Heaven!

The aura slashed towards Mu Rantian and the others.

Mu Rantian unleashed his full power, displaying formidable strength, attempting to withstand the attack head-on!

He threw a punch, the shockwave carrying a bluish-green edge.

However, as the ghosts began to wail, he was suddenly sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground, his face pale.

--Mu Rantian had already taken a half-step outside the Holy Path, but he was no match for this Sacrificial Spirit.

"Grandpa Village Chief!"

"Village Chief!"

Both Mu Wanqing and Mu Nanshan were anxious.

Wu Dade was even more furious and said:

"You old tree demon, how dare you court death here?"

The old Huai Tree simply said coldly:

"Damn fatso!"

Its towering trees, with countless branches stretching out, almost envelop the entire Small Mountain Village!

But, right now.

An inexplicable aura emanated from the Small Mountain Village.

This energy is utterly destructive!

Suddenly, it was as if countless branches of the old Huai Tree had been severed!

"No..."

The old Huai Tree let out a hoarse, mournful cry, and suddenly, at that moment, its trunk snapped open!

It exploded into countless fragments!

At the same time.

In a forest far behind.

A section of old Huai Tree root suddenly screamed and jumped up, then ran away at full speed!

--The old Huai Tree has lived in this wilderness for far too long, so it is cunning and treacherous. It personally takes action, but leaves a clone here.

It can save your life in a critical moment.

Now, its clone has escaped.

In front of Small Mountain Village.

Mu Rantian and the others were all somewhat stunned.

Sophora Spirit Village, that powerful Sacrificial Spirit, just like that, destroyed?

This Small Mountain Village... it's definitely not to be messed with!

Moreover, from beginning to end, they had no idea what entity had made the move.

However, they didn't think much of it.

Everything in this village looks like Sacrificial Spirit; even a vegetable worm jumping out could probably accomplish that.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Wu Dade looked at Mu Rantian.

Mu Rantian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Young Master, I'm fine!"

"If it weren't for your village, the three of us would probably be finished..."

He paused for a moment, then said:

"However, Young Master, according to our information, it seems that behind Sophora Spirit Village, there are entities deeper within the Great Wilderness. This time, they have become enemies with your village..."

Wu Dade, however, said:

"Something that exists deep in the wilderness? Is it an animal?"

His eyes lit up slightly as he said:

"Could it be trees again? You can't eat trees..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Rantian, who had been looking very serious, almost coughed up blood.

Trees, can't be eaten?

Is this village judging the enemy based on whether they are edible or not?

But thinking about it, they only stewed one Howling Desolation Tiger...

It seems reasonable, very reasonable!

"This old man... doesn't know..."

Mu Rantian simply didn't know how to answer.

Wu Dade asked them many more questions about this vast wilderness before returning to the village.

Mu Rantian and the others headed straight for Wood Spirit Village.

Soon, Mu Rantian and the others finally returned to the village.

Upon entering the village, Mu Rantian immediately sat cross-legged beneath the Sacrificial Spirit and began healing his injuries.

He cherished it and picked up a grain of millet!

Then put it in your mouth and chew it slowly.

A powerful, divine aura filled my entire body!

In that instant, he clearly felt as if his entire body had been cleansed.

The aged body was surprisingly rejuvenated.

The wounds left by the old Huai Tree healed instantly.

He was at the peak of his life!

Moreover, his cultivation level is currently breaking through.

He once roamed the Great Wilderness and almost had the chance to break through to the Dao Integration Realm.

It was all for naught.

Originally, he was very old and it was almost impossible for him to have another chance to enter the path of divinity in this lifetime.

But at this moment, these rice...

He was given a chance!

Grapevines drooped down, shielding him from view.

Soon.

Boom!

Mu Rantian's aura suddenly changed.

He opened his aged eyes, which were filled with excitement and gleamed with a sharp light!

At this moment, inexplicable rules of heaven and earth enveloped him.

He... has already become a powerhouse at the Dao Integration Realm!

"This... this senior's rice actually contains the complete Yin-Yang Dao!"

He spoke excitedly!

It must be understood that the most important thing in the transition from the path of sages to the path of gods is the fusion of yin and yang!

The fusion of Yin and Yang is the path to divine communication!

For ordinary Saint Dao cultivator, breaking through to the Divine Path realm is extremely difficult.

The Yang Realm is filled with Spiritual Qi containing the power of true yang.

But Yin Qi... is hard to find!

In fact, there is a special type of mineral vein in the Yin Realm called "Yin Ore," which specifically produces ores carrying Yin Qi.

This type of ore is extremely expensive, and the Yin Ore is controlled by powerful forces such as super dynasties.

Besides, the Yin Qi is almost exclusively found in the legendary and extremely rare Yin Realm. The Yin Qi in the Yin Realm is said to be the highest quality supreme Yin power, and obtaining even a wisp of it is said to guarantee a meteoric rise in one's life.

In the vast wilderness, there is almost no village where one can find any Yin Qi.

Therefore, the ceiling for village-level power is the Peeking Path Realm sainthood.

Only those tribes and other powerful groups far surpassing even village-level forces have cultivators of divine arts.

"This bag of rice bestowed by Senior Li... could create a large tribe and a powerful force!"

He was incredibly excited!

At that moment, he wished he could kneel down and worship that Small Mountain Village!

He felt the value of the bag of rice more and more.

Just one pill was enough to make him Dao Integration Realm expert...

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that he hadn't fully digested it yet!

"That's great, that's great!"

"The Village Chief has become Dao Integration Realm expert... No one will dare to mess with our village anymore!"

Everyone was extremely excited.

"Everyone, get back to training!"

Mu Rantian:

"As long as the Saint Dao Perfection, there is hope for a breakthrough..."

He had another thought in his mind.

That senior bestowed such fortuitous opportunity, probably precisely to allow Wood Spirit Village to grow!

Such a master strategist, with every move he makes, must have a profound meaning and a grand plan!

"Where did this come from?"

The sounds of Sacrificial Spirit drifted over slowly.

Mu Rantian immediately stood up and respectfully recounted everything that had happened in the Small Mountain Village.

The Sacrificial Spirit remained silent for a long time.

"Sacrificial Spirit, in your opinion, what was that senior's intention?"

Mu Rantian spoke first.

The old grape said slowly:

"That man said, 'It is impolite not to reciprocate...' Perhaps, the ancestors of Wood Spirit Village had some past connection with him."

"Therefore, in this life, he acted out of consideration for past relationships."

"This is just my guess. After all, for someone like him, the only thing he cares about in his words and actions is cause and effect. It would be impolite not to reciprocate... I seem to be witnessing a grand cause and effect that spans many years!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Rantian was also taken aback. Did his ancestors have some connection with Senior Li?

At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind:

"Could it be...?"

Mu Nanshan stepped forward, his expression grave, and asked, "Village Chief, could the legend... be true...?"

"Our Wood Spirit Village once produced an unparalleled powerhouse, who even founded an unrivaled dynasty in the outside world?"

Mu Rantian pondered for a long time.

According to local legend, the ancestors of Wood Spirit Village fled from the depths of the Great Wilderness, facing certain death, before finally establishing the Wood Spirit Village here...

"I'm going to look through the clan records!"

He spoke!

At the same time, he took Mu Wanqing with him.

He wanted to personally teach Mu Wanqing the cultivation method.

"Wanqing, you are the first person to encounter that senior. You must possess a great destiny. From today onwards, you will consume one grain of rice every day and must grow up quickly!"

He gave instructions!

Mu Wanqing was stunned. One grain of rice a day? That was too extravagant!

And at this moment.

At the foot of a large mountain.

The area was deathly silent.

Ordinary ferocious beasts wouldn't dare approach.

This is the territory of a supreme and overlord-level being.

At that moment, a section of old tree root suddenly ran in.

"Lynx Big Brother, help! Help me!"

The old tree roots let out a mournful cry!
