Eating It
Now.
Among the misty cloud-covered peaks somewhere in the Great Ruin Realm.
This place is filled with Spiritual Qi, like Immortal Realm on earth, where a Daoist palace stands tall, transcending the mundane world.
Before that palace stood a towering halberd, its immense power seemingly drawn by some kind of magic array, constantly nourishing the halberd with the boundless laws and Spiritual Qi of the Great Ruin Realm!
If the world were to see it, they would surely recognize that the Great Halberd of Broken Branch belongs to the renowned God of War of Central Plains— Zhan Bai!
The Central Plains consist of dozens of smaller states, the most famous of which are Yunzhou, occupied by the Yun family, and Zhan State, occupied by the Zhan family.
Zhan Bai, the wandering deity of the Zhan family, is one of the most widely worshipped Deity in the entire Great Ruin Realm!
Now.
In the empty palace, a middle-aged man dressed in black suddenly opened his eyes.
Two cold beams of light shot out from his eyes like swords, and the Dao principles in front of him suddenly vanished!
"The plan failed?"
He frowned slightly.
He had already received a message from Zhan Yuanpeng, the head of the Zhan family.
The plot to seize control of the Yun family failed, and the Yun family has already discovered the Zhan family's conspiracy...
This is bad!
He immediately stood up, his black, blood-stained cloak billowing around him.
Inside the main hall, there is also a Buddha statue!
He completed the invocation ritual on the Buddha statue, and the statue immediately emitted a faint yellow light. In the dim light, the Buddha statue seemed to open its eyes!
Zhan Bai Path:
"Reporting to the Buddha Master, the plan to seize the Yun family has failed."
"In the Burial God Great Wilderness, many mysterious beings have likely emerged."
The Buddha statue remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking:
"The people behind Xuan Yin and Lü Yang are also plotting against the Primal Dao principles of the Great Ruin Realm. I originally intended for you to feign acceptance of Yun Yang's marriage proposal, and then proceed gradually to achieve your goal. This would be the safest approach."
"But now it seems that the place Buddha chose was indeed extraordinary, with many variables..."
Zhan Bai listened attentively, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Buddha Master, in my humble opinion, I should contact Xuan Yin and Lü Yang to join forces."
The Buddha statue nodded slightly and said:
"That's fine. I know who's behind them, but they don't know me. I'm the one in the dark, and the enemy is in the light. I always have the upper hand."
"Do as you say."
Zhan Bai immediately bowed deeply, then left the palace. As he left, he waved his hand, and the halberd rose from the ground, kicking up a cloud of sand and stones, before finally landing steadily in his hand.
Soon after, Zhan Bai arrived at a certain Daoist temple.
"Brothers Xuan Yin and Lü Yang, Zhan Bai has come to request an audience!"
He came looking for Xuan Yin and the other two!
Immediately afterwards, a massive earthquake struck Central China!
A message spread.
"The Yun family has betrayed our faith and slaughtered our clan's geniuses and strongmen in the Burial God Great Wilderness. Today, the Zhan family launches Clan War and vows to fight the Yun family to the death!"
From the Godly Family, the Zhan family!
The news spread rapidly, attracting worldwide attention.
"What? The Zhan family has actually declared war on the Yun family?"
"The two families were just arranged to marry recently, and the wedding is about to take place? How could such a big change have occurred!"
"You are unaware of what has happened. During the trip to the Eastern Wasteland, all the Lineage from the Central Plains who went there, including the Zhan family's Profound Bright Battle Body and Zhan Shaoling, were all killed. Only the Yun family returned. There are rumors that it was the Yun family who carried out the attack!"
The public is discussing it extensively.
At the same time, the Zhan family sent invitations to countless forces in the Central Plains, inviting them to join in attacking the Yun family!
Instantly, countless Aristocratic Clan and sects responded in droves!
The reason is simple: this trip to the Eastern Wasteland resulted in significant losses for all the major Lineage and forces, making the Yun family the most plausible suspect!
Moreover, there are rumors circulating that this time, it won't just be Zhan Bai Wandering God who is targeting the Yun family!
It should be known that in the entire Great Ruin Realm, in the present world, there are only four Deity who are clearly still alive.
If multiple Deity unite, even the Yun family, the oldest and most Deity Aristocratic Clan deities, would not be able to withstand it!
The disparity in strength is too great; no one would choose to stand with the Yun family.
"Hehe, what a great opportunity! All the experts are gathered here. We're going to participate in this battle and Divine Separation the Yun family, an Aristocratic Clan of gods. Even if we just snatch a little something, it will be enough for us to enjoy for the rest of our lives!"
Even many forces that did not participate in the Eastern Wasteland expedition sent troops to form an alliance with the Zhan family.
Divide up the Yun family's property!
This has become a source of motivation for many people!
"Let's go! Destroy the Yun family!"
The allied forces of various powers set off from Zhanzhou today, with Zhan Yuanpeng, the patriarch of the Zhan family, personally serving as the marshal of the allied forces!
And at this moment.
Eastern Wasteland.
In the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty.
Mu Wanqing has returned from the Great Wilderness and now stands before the Sacrificial Spirit Old Vine, recounting the events that occurred there.
"Strange Being... Primal Divine Grape..."
The Old Vine murmured, full of emotion, and said:
"The origins of that Senior Li from the Great Wilderness are truly unimaginable..."
"Wanqing, meeting Senior Li is the greatest fortune of your life!"
Mu Wanqing nodded deeply.
Although she didn't know what Senior Li's intentions were or how big his scheme was, she had made up her mind to do everything in her power to serve Senior Li!
"Report!"
At this moment, a messenger arrived swiftly and said:
"Your Majesty, we have just received news that chaos has broken out in the Central Plains!"
"The Zhan family has declared war on the Yun family, and has even formed an allied army!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing's expression immediately changed!
"What? The Central Plains Allied Forces are attacking the Yun family?"
"The Yun family is Sister Yunxi's Lineage, and the Wood Spirit Imperial Dynasty absolutely cannot stand idly by!"
She immediately spoke, saying, "Issue the decree that Elder Zhenkong and Elder Rantian lead the Imperial Dynasty Army to depart immediately and rush to the aid of the Yun family!"
"I'm going to the Great Wilderness; I need to tell Sister Yunxi about this."
She left immediately.
Now.
A vast wilderness, Small Mountain Village.
"Li Fan, we're back!"
Yunxi and Ziling pushed open the door and entered.
Li Fan was teaching Xin Ning a new poem when he stopped.
However, he discovered that Ziling and Yunxi... hadn't brought back any plants!
Didn't find it?
"Any rare plants found?"
He immediately asked a question.
Upon hearing this, Ziling stepped forward and said:
"Master, we've found it... but... but the mother plant is dead."
She was somewhat disappointed. She took out the wooden box, opened it, and inside lay a large, glistening, dark purple grape.
"Only this grape is left."
Nan Feng, Lu Rang, and the others were all quite surprised when they saw the large grapes.
"Such immense divine power! I sense it contains the power of an entire universe!"
Long Zixuan spoke solemnly.
"The quality of these grapes is probably not much different from that of the peaches of immortality!"
Jiang Li speculated.
"Only one left? That's such a waste!"
Wu Dade looked regretful!
"Master, do you... do you have a way to revive the mother vine?"
Ziling's face was filled with hope!
Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but pick up Ziling's grape and rub it in his hand for a long time.
That's truly a fine grape!
No wonder it's a rare species; he's never grown this variety of grape before.
Looking at the expressions on the disciples' faces, Li Fan understood that everyone really liked grapes!
Moreover, this is a rare plant species, and Li Fan is determined not to let it go after finally encountering it!
He immediately handed the grapes to Ziling and said:
"Eat it."
Upon hearing this, Ziling was momentarily stunned.
Eat it, eat it??
"Master, do you really want to eat it?"
She spoke somewhat hesitantly.
Li Fan nodded and said:
Whether this grapevine can revive depends entirely on what you eat...
My flight was delayed, and I just landed in Shanghai. I'm updating this at the airport now; I'm going to find a hotel first.
