Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, the Empress Ascended the Throne!
The Empress ascends the throne in the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty!
A massive earthquake struck the Eastern Wasteland.
"What? The Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty has been destroyed? And a divine body has appeared?"
In the Purple Thistle Imperial Dynasty, the emperor was greatly shocked and said in disbelief:
"And she's also a chosen one of the gods? Unbelievable..."
"From this day forward, it seems there will be one more of the four great guardian deities of the Eastern Wasteland..."
He knew very well what it meant to be a chosen one.
This Mu Wanqing is likely acting on behalf of the will of the Deity!
Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty, from the Yang Ding Tian Dynasty, was deeply shocked after hearing the news.
The Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty has fallen, and the Wood Spirit Divine Body has emerged...
That's terrifying.
"Who is behind Deity? Could it be the Profound Yin True God?"
He was pondering!
Since Mu Wanqing has a Deity behind her, it can't possibly be the High God Lu Yang, because the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty is the place of worship for the High God Lu Yang!
The number of Deity that have emerged in the Great Ruin Realm throughout history is very small, and each Deity has its own place of worship.
In the vast Eastern Wasteland, countless forces exist, yet only two Deity are worshipped.
High God Lu Yang, High God Xuan Yin.
Their Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty, as well as the Profound Water Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect among the four great Servant God Sect, worship the High God Xuan Yin.
The Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, as well as the Qingyang Sect and the Divine Medicine Sect, worship the High God Lu Yang.
Incense offerings are of great use to the Deity; therefore, every Deity attaches great importance to the place of incense offerings.
The Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty, having seen its Old Ancestor break through to the Divine Realm, is now qualified to become Servant God Sect.
All that's missing is to please the Deity and gain Deity favor.
Therefore, they had made two preparations beforehand, one of which was to secure more land for the Deity to worship.
Secondly, during the festival of worshipping the gods, they asked Elder Tian Xuan to offer the Yin Spirit horse, which he had captured from the Yin Realm, to the Deity.
After all, the Pegasus is a mythical creature that has disappeared from the mortal Yang Realm; it is too extraordinary. Even if what they captured was just a Yin Spirit, it was still enough to shock the world.
Now, Mu Wanqing has destroyed the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, but this has completely baffled him.
A Deity commanded Mu Wanqing to destroy the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty...
Could it be the High God Xuan Yin?
If the High God Xuan Yin chooses Mu Wanqing, then their Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty will have no chance...
"I must go to the Profound Water Sect myself and ask if this is truly the decree of the High God Xuan Yin!"
He couldn't hold back any longer and immediately stood up.
Not long after.
He finally arrived at the Profound Water Sect.
Mo Xuan, the Sect Master of the Profound Water Sect, personally performed a ritual to obtain a divine decree.
However, the Profound Water Sect was stunned after interpreting the divine oracle.
"The High God Xuan Yin has not chosen any of his chosen ones..."
"The person behind Mu Wanqing is not the High God Xuan Yin!"
Upon hearing the news, Yang Ding Tian became even more puzzled.
"Could it be another Deity? But the places of worship for the High God Yun Yang and the High God Zhan Bai are both in Zhongzhou..."
Yun Yang High God and Zhan Bai High God are two other Deity in the Great Ruin Realm.
They are from the Godly Family of Zhongzhou: the Yun family and the Zhan family!
Green Yang, Black Yin, Yun Yang, and Zhan Bai are four High God that the Great Ruin Realm is certain to still exist and will manifest again.
Some ancient Deity, having vanished with the passage of time, no longer manifest themselves and have mostly perished, so they are no longer worshipped.
"It shouldn't be... I'll go to the Qingyang Sect!"
Profound Water Sect Master Mo Xuan spoke directly, sensing that this matter was not simple.
There may be other Deity coming to the Eastern Wasteland to seize territory and incense offerings!
This is a major event; it could potentially trigger a war of gods!
Soon, he arrived at the Qingyang Sect's mountain gate.
Qingyang Sect Master Gu Changfeng's face was extremely grim!
"Who dares to lay a hand on my son!"
He was furious.
Gu Fengyun is his only son!
He sent his son to obtain the Wood Spirit Celestial Body, but this is the result!
He had tried various methods, but none of them could restore his son's cultivation level.
It was completely erased!
"Sect Master, at this critical juncture, perhaps only by invoking the Dharma Body of the High God Lu Yang can we restore Young Master's Dao Foundation..."
An elder offered a suggestion.
"To the temple!"
Gu Changfeng spoke directly.
If the Deity intervene, perhaps his son will have a chance to be reborn.
Soon, they entered the main hall, where a Deity statue of a deity stood high.
All the sects and dynasties under the Qingyang Sect's jurisdiction will gather here!
This statue is also one of the strongest manifestations of the High God Lu Yang in the Great Ruin Realm.
"May the Deity bow down and save the believers!"
He spoke, initiating the ritual to invoke the gods.
A green light emanated from the statue in the main hall.
Deity manifestation!
Like an unparalleled Deity phantom, it appeared in this great hall, high above, looking down upon all living beings.
The illusory Deity figure raised its hand, and instantly, a river of light, accompanied by the rules of the Great Dao, poured into Gu Fengyun's body.
"The Deity have intervened! Excellent! With this, the Young Master will surely recover!"
"It's alright, there's no wound in this world that even Deity can't heal!"
Everyone started to speak.
Gu Changfeng was also excitedly anticipating it.
However, as the Deity power was poured in, a wisp of white mist suddenly emerged from Gu Fengyun's body.
As soon as the white mist appeared, the phantom of the Deity trembled violently!
"Wait... what the hell is this?!"
The illusory Deity figure seemed somewhat flustered at this moment, and then with a slap of its large hand, it instantly annihilated Gu Fengyun and Daoist Si Dong!
"Father..."
Gu Fengyun only had time to scream once before she died!
Everyone present was shocked by what they saw.
What... what's going on?
Instead of helping, the Deity killed Gu Fengyun and the others?
"High God... why is this?!"
Gu Changfeng knelt directly on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and said:
"My son is incredibly devout to the Deity, and our clan is devoted to serving them wholeheartedly..."
He didn't know why the Deity would kill his own son.
However, the green phantom of the Deity spoke coldly:
"I killed your son for your own good."
"He was marked by a powerful ghost. What did you think that white mist was? It was ghostly breath!"
"This ghost is so domineering; it's clearly an old ghost who has achieved great cultivation! My true form is not here. If I rashly attack and this old ghost deduces my abilities, then things will be extremely bad!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Ghost? Old ghost?
Behind Mu Wanqing and the others, is it not Deity, but a ghost?
They were dumbfounded.
The concept of ghosts also exists in the Yang Realm.
Especially some powerful beings, if they harbor too much resentment after death, will become ghosts, which are incredibly powerful.
It is even said that terrifying ghost realms exist in the endless universe.
Ghosts... no one is unafraid of them!
Gu Changfeng immediately realized that things had gotten very serious. He couldn't even care less about his son's death, and hurriedly said:
"High God, what should we do?"
The High God Lu Yang pondered for a long time and said:
"... Only by descending in my true form can I possibly slay this old devil..."
"You must wait until the festival of worshiping the gods, and at that time it would be best to set up a great demon-slaying formation to lure that old ghost here, which would make things twice as easy!"
With a wave of his hand, the High God Lu Yang transmitted the method of the Ghost-Slaying Formation to Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng felt that he still had countless questions in his heart, but the Dharma body of the High God Lu Yang had already dissipated.
Inside the main hall, the many powerful figures of the Qingyang Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Report! The Profound Water Sect Master and his entourage have arrived!"
Just then, a loud shout came from outside.
"Please!"
Mo Xuan spoke.
Profound Water Sect Master Mo Xuan and others have arrived.
"During the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, it had nothing to do with the High God Xuan Yin; the High God did not intervene!"
Mo Xuan got straight to the point and said:
"It's possible that other Deity have come to the Eastern Wasteland to seize territory!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng smiled wryly:
"It's not Deity... it's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
He recounted how he had just sought divine healing.
Mo Xuan and the others were immediately shocked!
"Does the Great Ruin Realm possess such powerful ghosts?"
"To think that even the Dharma body of the High God Lu Yang was powerless..."
"That's terrifying..."
At this moment, Yang Ding Tian suddenly thought of something and said:
"Mu Wanqing and the others come from the Great Wilderness... The ghosts behind them should also be in the Great Wilderness?"
His words sent a chill down everyone's spine!
"The Burial God Great Wilderness is full of eeriness... It's perfectly normal for it to have ghosts!"
Gu Changfeng's expression changed drastically; this was very likely!
Everyone vaguely reached a consensus.
Behind Mu Wanqing and the others... must be ghosts from the Great Wilderness!
After all, throughout countless ages, Deity have ventured into the Great Wilderness and perished there.
"As instructed by the High God Lu Yang, we must hold out until the Festival of Worshiping the Gods, and we must set up the Demon-Slaying Formation in advance..."
Mo Xuan, the Sect Master of the Profound Water Sect, felt a chill run down his spine and said:
"Setting up a demon-slaying formation is easy, but since that old ghost is far away in the Great Wilderness, why would he come out? You must know that such ghosts are extremely cunning!"
Everyone was at a loss.
But Yang Ding Tian continued, saying:
"I... may have a way!"
All eyes were on his face.
"Our Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty once captured the Yin Spirit of a celestial horse!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
"Pegasus? Such creatures have long since disappeared from the Yang Realm; they were extinct in High Antiquity mythology."
"According to some ancient texts, it is only possible for it to reappear unless some extraordinary Yin Realm appears..."
"Could it be that the Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty has discovered a realm of the Yin Realm?... Is this the reason why their dynasty's Old Ancestor broke through to the Divine Realm?"
The crowd began to discuss it.
Mo Xuan, the Sect Master of the Profound Water Sect, frowned even more!
The Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty has always been a vassal of their Profound Water Sect. How could they have discovered this Yin Realm without informing them?
Yang Ding Tian, however, braced himself and continued:
"Pegasus, even in the vast universe and the realm of gods, is a mythical creature that has disappeared... The Yin Spirit of such a creature possesses an unparalleled attraction to ghosts."
"As long as that old ghost in the Great Wilderness knows that the Yin Spirit Horse will appear during the Festival of Worshiping the Gods, I believe it will definitely come!"
Never mind, it doesn't matter if the world knows they once discovered the Yin Realm.
If they can help the Deity slay that old demon in the Great Wilderness this time, the Deity will surely favor their Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty.
Who will we be afraid of then?
"That makes sense."
Gu Changfeng nodded approvingly and said:
"So now, shouldn't we let the world know about the Pegasus? And also send a letter to the Empress of the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty, inviting her to the festival of worship?"
"Of course, it would be best to also include a trace of that Yin Spirit's Yin Qi!"
And at this moment.
Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty.
With the world at peace, Empress Mu Wanqing successfully ascended the throne.
The main reason was that the imperial edict that day had the power to punish evil and promote good, which made the world completely submit to it.
"Your Majesty, now that the world is at peace, it is time for us to create statues of the Deity who serve you..."
In the main hall, Mu Zhenkong spoke.
Even he suspected that there must be Deity behind Wood Spirit Village.
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing pondered for a moment and said, "This matter involves Senior Li, so we need his consent!"
Mu Rantian nodded as well.
"Report!"
"An envoy from the Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty has arrived to deliver congratulatory gifts!"
The announcement came suddenly.
In the main hall, everyone frowned.
When Mu Wanqing ascended the throne, no faction or sect in the world came to congratulate her or attend the ceremony.
Why would the Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty be so kind? And why are they only arriving now?
"Please!"
Mu Wanqing spoke.
Before long, a middle-aged man walked up into the main hall with a smile.
"I am Yang Weihuang Chaoyang Xiao, and on behalf of His Majesty, I bring this congratulatory gift to the Empress."
As he spoke, he took out a jade box.
Mu Rantian took the jade box, examined it, and after confirming that there was no danger, handed it to Mu Wanqing.
When Mu Wanqing opened the box, she saw that it contained a wisp of pale silver mist.
This is a wisp of... Yin Qi!
"This Yin Qi was taken from the Yin Spirit of the Heavenly Horse. During the festival of worshipping the gods, our dynasty will offer this to the Deity, and all forces during the festival will also be able to get a share."
Yang Xiao smiled slightly.
Mu Wanqing thought for a moment and said:
"I understand. The envoy may rest in the city."
Yang Xiao bowed and then withdrew.
"There's a conspiracy!"
Mu Zhenkong spoke directly, saying, "This is a trap set by the Yang Wei Imperial Dynasty!"
Mu Rantian nodded and said, "We must be on guard."
However, Mu Wanqing remained calm and said, "Never mind all that, let's go see Senior Li first!"
No matter the conspiracies and schemes, no matter the demons and monsters, as long as she thought of Senior Li, she felt completely at peace!
And at this moment.
Somewhere on the border of the Eastern Wasteland, in a small frontier town.
A sudden gust of cold wind swept through, and the townspeople were immediately gripped by panic.
A ghostly wail echoed in the eerie wind!
"A ghost! There's a ghost!"
"Help..."
Cries for help echoed throughout the town.
After a long while, the eerie wind finally subsided, revealing a mountain wilderness.
The eerie wind transformed into a man, who looked as if he had starved to death, reduced to skin and bones, with sunken eye sockets, a truly horrifying sight.
"I sent you to gather information, and you're eating again? You really are a starving ghost."
A gust of cold wind came from the side and transformed into a human form, dressed in pale white clothes, with a long, scarlet tongue that was half a meter long!
This is a hanged ghost!
"How boring. There are only two or three cultivators in that town, not enough to feed them..."
The starving ghost spoke.
"So, have you found out anything about the Ghost Lord?"
The hanged man then asked another question.
"I haven't heard anything about the Ghost Lord... but in this region, it seems... there is a Yin Spirit."
The starving ghost said, "Pegasus... it must taste delicious!"
Upon hearing this, the hanged ghost was immediately taken aback and exclaimed, "Pegasus? There's actually such Yin Spirit? What a treasure!"
"This matter must be reported to the commander!"
The two ghosts immediately vanished from the spot.
Before long, they came to a mass grave.
This place is filled with graves.
At first glance, these tombs seemed to conform to some kind of Formation, with a hidden ghostly aura circulating among them, and white and black mists mingling together.
In the center of all the graves was a large tomb!
Blood was poured over the large grave.
"Reporting to the commander, we have received news... that the whereabouts of the Heavenly Horse Yin Spirit have been discovered in the Eastern Wasteland!"
Upon hearing this, the blood-red tomb immediately cracked open.
A dark mist rose, and a ghostly figure emerged.
This was a cold, indifferent old man with a deathly gray face and extremely sinister eyes.
"Pegasus? Yin Spirit?"
The old ghost's hoarse voice rang out, saying:
"The Pegasus only exists in myths and legends; it doesn't exist in any of the Myriad Worlds of the universe. How could its Yin Spirit appear in this tiny astral plane?"
It seemed somewhat confused.
"However, it's also possible... Back then, the Ghost Lord barely escaped from the Star Annihilation Divine Monarch's clutches, but didn't return to the Ghost Realm. Over the years, we've searched many places before finally finding this place. I was wondering why the Great Ruin Realm, being just a small star realm, could attract the Yin Qi Ghost Lord's interest..."
"Now it seems, this might explain why Ghost Lord came here..."
The old ghost raised his eyes, a glint of black light flashing within them, and said:
"I must get my hands on this Pegasus!"
"When we find the Ghost Lord, he will be an excellent tonic for it!"
Is this chapter long or short? Speak out loud, Gui Xin long or short!
