Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty

The Great Ruin Realm.

Eastern Wasteland.

This is a vast and desolate land, rich in Spiritual Qi, and home to countless cultivators.

The vast wilderness, including the infamous Burial God Great Wilderness, already occupies a quarter of it. The rest of the land is mostly desolate and undulating, with few plains.

At this moment, in the central region of the Eastern Wasteland.

A vast city.

Wood Spirit City!

This is the capital of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, one of the seven great dynasties of the Eastern Wasteland.

The palace of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty was magnificent and resplendent. Most remarkably, in the very center of the palace stood a giant green tree.

That was the Sacrificial Spirit of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty.

At this moment, inside the imperial palace.

"Your Majesty, the Festival of Worshiping the Gods is approaching, which is the most auspicious time... I believe it would be best to finalize the marriage agreement with the Qingyang Sect before the festival!"

An old man stepped forward and addressed the middle-aged emperor on the dragon throne above, offering his advice.

This old man was one of the royal protectors of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, and also Mu Jinglong's father, Mu Zhenyun!

And sitting on the dragon throne was none other than the emperor of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty — Mu Qingcang!

When Mu Zhenyun spoke, the entire court echoed in agreement.

In the Eastern Wasteland, the seven great dynasties are not the most powerful forces.

Above that are four Great Sects!

Qingyang Sect, Profound Water Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, and Divine Medicine Gate.

The four Great Sects... are all cloud-based forces that can directly communicate with the Deity, and each sect has experts at the Divine Transformation Realm in charge!

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Old Ancestor of the Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty has obtained some great fortuitous opportunity and has broken through to the Divine Realm, surpassing the remaining six dynasties and almost on par with the four Great Sects... In order to contend with the Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty, we must rely more closely on the Qingyang Sect!"

"With the support of the Qingyang Sect, we can rest easy!"

"That's right."

Everyone started to speak.

Originally one of the seven great dynasties, the Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty has now taken a further step, Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty and its people are already feeling the pressure of its expansion.

Everyone wants to seek asylum!

On the dragon throne, Mu Qingcang's expression was indifferent. He waved his hand casually, and the hall immediately fell silent.

"I understand your concerns, my esteemed ministers."

"But these things still need to wait."

"Wait for Jinglong and the others to return."

Although his face remained calm, he was worried inside.

It will be difficult for the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty to curry favor with the Azure Qingyang Sect.

That's why he made a decision.

Send Mu Jinglong to the Great Wilderness.

He even gave Mu Jinglong the only Divine Spirit Incarnation in the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty for this purpose.

It must be understood that it is extremely difficult to condense a Divine Spirit Incarnation. Since the establishment of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, the court and the people have worshipped the statue of the "True God of Green Sun" day and night. Countless years have passed before the power of faith has finally condensed into one!

He had high hopes for Mu Jinglong's journey to the wilderness!

After all, the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty originated from the Great Wilderness.

It contains many treasures!

If we can obtain even a small amount that can help the Old Ancestor of their Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty break through to the Divine Realm, that will be enough.

Furthermore, even if what Mu Jinglong brought out from the Great Wilderness is not enough for the Old Ancestor to break through, it can still be used as Princess Mu Wanxiu's dowry—with more resources, it will be more likely to impress the Qingyang Sect!

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, with Mu Zhenyun saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Jinglong will surely return with the treasure!"

Emperor Mu Qingcang nodded slightly.

"His Your Majesty,"

At this moment, another white-haired old man Mu Zhenkong, stepped forward and said:

"Mu Jinglong had previously replied, saying that they had discovered traces of their Ancestor Village Wood Spirit Village, in the Great Wilderness..."

A flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes, but he still said:

"I believe we should send someone to verify this. If it truly is the Ancestor Village, we should send someone to escort them out of the wilderness!"

"After all, the evil forces in the Great Wilderness are extremely strong, and our people have suffered too much living there for so long!"

There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

However, after he finished speaking, no one in the hall responded to his suggestion.

Emperor Mu Qingcang simply said:

"We'll discuss this later."

Ancestor Village?

The entire dynasty... felt no affection for this word!

The Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty cared nothing for their lives.

"Report!"

Just then, a hurried voice came from outside.

A messenger rushed into the main hall, knelt down, and shouted:

"Something terrible has happened! General Mu Jinglong and Shui Manqing, among others... Soul Lamp have been extinguished!"

"Furthermore, the other three Divine Spirit Incarnation statues in the palace... have cracked!"

Upon hearing this, the entire court was shaken!

Everyone in the hall was utterly shocked.

"What? How is this possible!"

"How could Mu Jinglong and the others all be dead...?"

"The three quasi -Divine Spirit Incarnation statues have cracked? What exactly happened?"

Everyone fell silent!

"My son Jinglong... is dead?!"

Mu Zhenyun stared intently at the messenger!

The Soul Lamp have all gone out... which means that Mu Jinglong and the others are all dead.

Moreover, even the three quasi -Divine Spirit Incarnation in the palace were implicated!

On the dragon throne, Mu Qingcang's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but stand up, exclaiming, "What?!"

His pupils contracted!

The entire army sent out by the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty was wiped out.

Could it be that there is something in the Great Wilderness that even the Deity body cannot subdue?

How is that possible!

Deity are synonymous with invincibility!

Even the three quasi -Divine Spirit Incarnation cracking open...

These three statues within the palace represent the very foundation of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty. Given more time, and with sufficient accumulation of faith, they too will be able to transform into Divine Spirit Incarnation.

This is why he dared to let Mu Jinglong take the only Divine Spirit Incarnation of the dynasty out!

At this moment, Mu Jinglong and the others are dead, and the quasi -Divine Spirit Incarnation in the palace have all been implicated, indicating that the Divine Spirit Incarnation on Mu Jinglong and the others... are probably also finished.

Mu Qingcang's eyelids twitched, and a bead of sweat appeared on his face!

He was nervous; he was genuinely nervous at that moment.

Huge loss!

The Divine Spirit Incarnation is the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty's greatest trump card.

Now, however, Mu Jinglong took it out and destroyed it, and even what remained in the palace is gone...

If the Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty were to attack at this time...

His previous composure vanished completely; he abruptly raised his eyes and said:

"Let's explore the Great Wilderness Again!"

"Mu Zhenyun, you personally lead the men there!"

"We must find out exactly what happened..."

The Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty was now beyond turning back.

If we stop here, it means the losses will be completely irreversible!

Now, the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty is like a gambler who has lost the most chips.

The only thing that can continue...

It's a desperate gamble, a chance to turn things around!

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhenyun stiffened for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, shall I... shall I go?"

He was somewhat frightened.

His son died in the wilderness. Although he was a father, he should have searched for him, but fear outweighed his feelings.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

At this moment, Mu Zhenkong, the guardian elder who had just suggested bringing back the Ancestor Village, hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, the ancestral precepts forbid further exploration of the Great Wilderness, for fear of calamity... Now that the ancestral precepts have come true, we must not act recklessly any further!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, realizing that they had all thought of it!

You must not explore the Great Wilderness again, you must not leave the Great Wilderness...

Weird...

Could it be that what happened today is punishment for their lineage's disobedience to ancestral teachings and their departure from the Great Wilderness?

Mu Qingcang also frowned deeply!

Could it really be related to the strange occurrences mentioned in the ancestral precepts...?

But even if something truly unforeseen happens in the Great Wilderness... the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty has nowhere else to turn.

We have no choice but to fight this battle with our backs against the wall!

He said in a deep voice:

"The Great Wilderness... we must go!"

"We have no choice. Since our ancestors were able to bring treasures out of the Great Wilderness, I believe we can too!"

He looked at Mu Zhenyun and said:

"Go to the Burial God Great Wilderness, and remember to visit that so-called Ancestor Village as well. You might find some useful information there!"

Mu Zhenyun was extremely unwilling, but he could only grit his teeth and say:

"Your subject obeys!"

Mu Qingcang waved his hand and said:

"This matter must be kept secret. No one is to divulge it. Court adjourned!"

The officials withdrew.

That day, Mu Zhenyun led his men and quietly departed.

And at this moment.

The Burial God Great Wilderness.

Wu Dade, Dugu Yuqing, and the big black dog finally returned to the Small Mountain Village.
