The moment before, he was chatting with the Human Emperor, listening to him settle his affairs – cough, no, instructing him to be wary of so-and-so.
The next moment, the world spun, heaven and earth shifted, and he was directly sent into a bathtub in the Women's Country.
This experience alone was enough to write a book, titled "The Young Master's Wonderful Adventures."
Thinking about it from another angle, the Human Emperor, possessing such formidable strength, was still bound by the limitations of his lifespan.
This showed that the ultimate authority in the Great Wilderness still rested with the powerful deities from the ancient divine wars. How could living beings even dream of longevity and eternal life…
"Do all you men have great strength?"
Wu Wang's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a question from the side. He turned his head and saw a pair of bright, shining eyes.
The owner of these large eyes had removed her armor and was wearing a loose, brown long dress. She leaned forward, almost propped on the table, staring at him with all her might from three feet away.
Her expression reminded Wu Wang of himself when he was a child, seeing his reflection in a mirror for the first time at the zoo while looking at the monkeys.
Wu Wang coughed and said, "Strength isn't determined by gender; it mainly depends on individual training."
The female general excitedly rolled up her sleeves and stated firmly:
"Come on! Let's have an arm wrestle!"
Wu Wang chuckled, "General, we've just met. Men and women should maintain a proper distance and avoid physical contact."
"What's wrong with that? How is an arm wrestle considered physical contact?"
The female general's eyes widened. She placed her left foot on a stool beside her, pulled her right arm out of her sleeve, unfastened the fabric button at her collar, revealing her shoulder. A wave of heroic spirit washed over Wu Wang.
Her appearance couldn't be described as beautiful, but she was the type who grew on you. Her eyebrows were a little thick, her face a little round, but she possessed a figure completely free of any excess fat, giving her a unique charm.
Unfortunately, Wu Wang had seen this type of woman almost his entire life, so he felt no stirrings of emotion at all.
The female general was quite displeased with Wu Wang's reserve. She snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you… Take off your clothes and show them to me!"
Wu Wang: …
Was this the Women's Country or the Rogue's Country?
"General, you jest," Wu Wang said seriously. "Won't you ask me how I got here?"
"Oh, right," the female general stared at Wu Wang, puzzled. "How did you end up in my cave dwelling, and in my bathtub, no less?"
Wu Wang cleared his throat and said slowly, "This is a long story. It should be a short one, but because it's so complicated, I can only explain it in one sentence.
I was just passing by.
If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now and immediately depart your country's borders."
Wu Wang stood up and bowed to the female general.
"I apologize for any offense caused earlier. Please do not take it to heart, General."
With that, Wu Wang gently fanned himself with his folding fan, appearing relaxed and calmly heading towards the cave entrance, but inwardly, he was on high alert, his entire focus fixed on the female general.
He was, naturally, testing her.
The female general blinked and reached out to the side. A long spear immediately flew into her palm.
"Wait, stop!" she shouted.
Wu Wang smiled and shook his head. Starlight bloomed beneath his feet, and his figure trailed winding lines of light as he moved directly through the 'living room' and 'foyer' of the cave dwelling, reaching the faintly glowing cave entrance.
This was a simple protective formation that blocked Wu Wang's spiritual consciousness from probing outward.
This formation likely originated from the Human Domain and wasn't particularly profound. The rings on Wu Wang's palms flashed gently, and two streams of energy, one black and one white, converged within the formation.
The light on the cave door flickered a few times and then dissipated on its own. Wu Wang easily pulled open the two vermilion doors.
"Farew—"
Swish, swish, swish!
The rustling sound of armor rubbing together was uniform!
Arrows gleaming with cold light filled Wu Wang's vision!
Longbows, drawn taut at various heights and distances, were aimed at him. The uniformly dressed female archers, their expressions stern, were also glaring at Wu Wang.
They wore simple leather armor on their upper bodies, with no protection at the waist, and below that were leather skirts, boots, gloves, and ponytails of the same style.
What a shame, Brother Ji isn't here.
At first glance, Wu Wang noticed several quite beautiful archers.
If he wasn't mistaken, the strings of the longbows these archers had drawn were made from the tendons of Fierce Beasts that were over three hundred years old, giving them considerable killing power.
These slender arms contained astonishing strength!
Fortunately, Wu Wang was still clothed at the moment. The visual impact on them was far less than that on their general. Although they were very surprised, there was no accidental discharge.
Wu Wang smiled calmly, slowly closed the cave door, and turned to look at the female general, who was not far behind him, carrying her spear.
The latter stood tall, chest out, and winked, saying triumphantly:
"Farewell for what?"
"Tell me your name, my beautiful general."
Wu Wang showed a hint of a friendly smile.
"Heh heh, I am Fengge, the First General Before the Throne of the Women's Country! Hey you, what are you doing in the Human Domain?"
Wu Wang said, "This humble Taoist... is a cultivator from the Clear Wind Gazing Moon Sect. I'm cultivating in the mountains and don't hold any official position in the Human Domain."
"A rogue cultivator?"
Fengge's eyes lit up. "Meaning, you're not some important figure in the Human Domain, right?"
Wu Wang couldn't help but think of the 'wonderful times' he'd spent with Senior Shennong Shi these past few months, and gave a wry smile. "I'm just an ordinary cultivator."
Fengge took two steps forward, carrying her spear, and said excitedly:
"How ordinary? If, cough, I'm just saying if. No one will come seeking revenge if you die here, right? Huh? Huh?"
Wu Wang: ...
What the heck is that golden light suddenly appearing on you, big sister? And that suddenly ferocious expression? Is your threshold for excitement a bit strange?
This isn't just a tomboy, she's bordering on being a pervert!
But to be fair, this female general has a very powerful 'aura'. The strength of the First General Before the Throne of the Women's Country is indeed not low.
"What do you mean by that, fellow cultivator?"
Wu Wang's expression turned a bit colder, and he said calmly:
"Although your strength is great, I also have some skills. I feel somewhat ashamed for intruding into your territory without permission, and I don't wish to resort to force with you.
Are you implying, with your words, that you intend to take my life?"
"Hey, friend, you misunderstand!"
Fengge threw down her spear, put her hands on her hips, and laughed heartily:
"I was just using an example, don't take it to heart! Hahahaha!
How many people are in your Clear Wind Gazing Moon Sect? Are there any legendary Immortals? What's the cultivation level of your sect leader?"
Wu Wang: ...
"Fellow cultivator," Wu Wang circulated his cultivation, and wisps of energy rippled around him.
Because Senior Shennong had helped him with anointing, his cultivation had entered the Core Formation Realm, but his realm wasn't very stable, and his aura was therefore somewhat disjointed.
Upon seeing this, Fengge exclaimed, "Yo, this guy's aura is so weak..." and her eyes shone even brighter.
Wu Wang's mind raced.
While playing is playing and fooling around is fooling around, he deeply respected Senior Shennong.
Shennong Shi had asked him to visit the Women's Country, and had even used his great divine abilities to send him directly here. There must be a profound reason behind this.
'A rebellion is about to break out there.'
If he could help the Women's Country within his capabilities, Wu Wang wouldn't mind doing something here.
More importantly, he wanted to know why Shennong Shi was paying so much attention to the Women's Country.
Perhaps there were even some issues with the Human Emperor of the Great Wilderness's lifestyle choices involved!
A crystal ball hovered by his hand. Wu Wang had already finalized a general plan in his mind and prepared several backup escape routes.
Doing things is one thing, but risking his life is another matter entirely.
Wu Wang quickly got into character, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes, and said calmly:
"Tell me what you want, fellow cultivator."
Fengge chuckled and leaned in, reaching out to put her arm around Wu Wang's shoulders. Wu Wang sidestepped, his body gracefully retreating several yards, causing Fengge to grasp at empty air.
Fengge laughed, "Aiya, don't be shy. We in the Women's Country are the most warm and hospitable. We rarely see a man in our country for hundreds of years, so seeing you... makes us feel particularly close.
Shall we get acquainted first?"
She patted her chest forcefully, making a sound like hammering steel plates.
It wasn't that there was no ripple, it was just that it was as solid as a rock.
"Don't you come any closer!"
Wu Wang shouted, "Or I'll blow up your cave dwelling!"
"Don't be afraid, this General won't do anything to you.
Although our Women's Country has no men, we know that men are meant to be cherished and doted upon by us.
Wahaha!
How could this General not understand tenderness and cherishing the fairer sex?"
Fengge continued to move closer, while Wu Wang kept retreating. The two chased each other, and Wu Wang's forehead was gradually covered in dark lines.
"Stop!"
Wu Wang cursed, "What exactly do you want!?"
Fengge wiped some drool from the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "You suddenly appeared in this General's cave dwelling. I'm absolving you of your crime and getting to know you. Isn't that reasonable?"
"Let's fight."
Wu Wang said firmly, "If I lose to you, I'll naturally follow your arrangements. If you lose to me, you'll let me leave here!"
Feng Ge was overjoyed.
Wu Wang immediately added, "But whether I win or lose, you absolutely cannot have any physical contact with me."
Feng Ge blinked, puzzled, "Why is the Human Domain still so conservative?"
A sense of righteous glory appeared on Wu Wang's face, making him seem much taller at that moment.
"The education I received since childhood doesn't support me being unrestrained."
Feng Ge's eyes were full of admiration, "Could you be the legendary chaste and heroic man? That should be rare in the Human Domain too... If you were presented to His Majesty, he would surely be overjoyed."
Wu Wang raised an eyebrow inwardly.
Then, a moment later.
Wu Wang sat down on the ground with a plop, sighed slowly, his expression rather dejected. The long spear rested on his shoulder, but it was far from his neck.
As expected, without the Star Invocation Technique, he was still a novice.
Feng Ge said triumphantly, "How about it? Do you submit? You're too weak."
Wu Wang stubbornly turned his head to the side, analyzing Feng Ge's specific strength in his heart.
If he were to use some of his trump cards and focus on escaping from here, this Feng Ge probably wouldn't be able to stop him.
Feng Ge glanced at the cave dwelling, which was tattered from the previous fight, and waved her large hand generously:
"Guards! Prepare the carriage!
Immediately notify the capital, this general has captured a man and will present him to His Majesty at once!"
Wu Wang: ...
He never expected to be treated as a gift one day.
Never mind, he had received so many benefits from Senior Shennong, what was wrong with helping Senior Shennong tidy up his backyard?
He secretly consolidated the Ice Crystal Film on his body, placed a dagger against his neck, and when the cave door opened, he said firmly:
"As agreed, I will follow your arrangements, but anyone who touches me will find me dead here!"
The archers who were about to rush in immediately looked at each other in dismay.
Feng Ge couldn't help but scratch her head and called out, "Everyone stay three feet away from him. Don't wrong him, this is the legendary man!"
"A man?"
"This is a man?!"
"It doesn't look much different from our General, it's all flat."
A slight commotion arose among the archers. A group of women surrounded Wu Wang, looking at him with curiosity, and each used their arms to block the person next to them, not daring to get too close.
Wu Wang frowned tightly, but extended his spiritual sense outside the cave dwelling to observe the surroundings.
This was a valley with towering mountains and forests on both sides. The cave dwelling was carved at the bottom of one of the cliffs.
Soon, the 'spectacle' outside the valley attracted Wu Wang's attention.
It was precisely noon, and a boundless film stretched across the heavens and earth. The film shimmered with a faint multicolored light, and at its base was a 'river' hundreds of feet wide, with turbulent water.
Outside the river, beyond the film, a giant beast resembling a wild boar stood quietly, its body covered in a layer of rock, like a sculpture crafted by nature's artistry.
However, even though the film could block spiritual sense, Wu Wang could still feel the terrifying vitality contained within this giant beast.
A petrified living giant beast, a boundless barrier, a wide river...
After being arranged onto the carriage by Feng Ge, Wu Wang secretly used the Star Invocation Technique to observe the area he was in, and a map of several hundred miles appeared in his mind.
This range only revealed a corner of the barrier and more than a dozen petrified giant beasts of various appearances, evenly distributed outside the barrier.
From a bird's-eye view, the river looked like a perfect circle drawn on the ground with a compass.
A country enveloped by a thousand-mile barrier? How much spiritual power would such a barrier consume?
It could only be the work of a deity.
Feng Ge kept her word, and the army of the Women's Country also had good discipline.
When Wu Wang was escorted out of the cave dwelling by a group of archers and got into the carriage, all the women in the valley camp had gathered, but no one approached within three feet of Wu Wang.
Feng Ge proudly showed off the man she had captured to her subordinates, gave a few instructions regarding the defense of the area, and with over a hundred light cavalry, set off from the riverbank with the carriage Wu Wang was in, speeding along a road towards the center of the thousand-mile barrier.
While Wu Wang's mind was tense, he organized the intelligence he had gathered so far.
He was likely at a corner of the Women's Country's border and had encountered Feng Ge, the First General Before the Throne. It was highly probable that this meeting was arranged by Senior Shennong.
One question remained: since Feng Ge was a general 'before the throne,' why was she at the border?
There could only be a few possibilities...
"Hey, what was your name again?"
Feng Ge, riding a handsome white horse, shouted loudly from beside the carriage.
Wu Wang continued to hold the dagger to his throat, humming, "Wuwang, that's my Daoist Name."
"Then do you have a name?"
"Just calling me by my Daoist Name is enough. We cultivators have already detached ourselves from the mortal world."
"Alright then, Wuwang, Wuwang," Fengge's round eyes were full of curiosity. "Hey, how do you men have children?"
Wu Wang was instantly amused and exasperated, correcting her, "Men cannot have children."
"Then how do you reproduce?"
Wu Wang said earnestly, "Wedding night candles, the union of man and woman, the intermingling of yin and yang, ten months of pregnancy, and then the woman who carried the child gives birth."
Fengge wondered, "That's strange, then why can we get pregnant just by taking a bath?"
"This is the origin of your Women's Country," Wu Wang's voice softened slightly. "I've also heard rumors about your Women's Country. The legend says there's a treasure pool here, and when women bathe in it, they can conceive, and all those born are women, generation after generation."
"Hehe," Fengge turned her head to look back the way she came, presumably towards the barrier. "Is our Women's Country very famous outside?"
"Indeed," Wu Wang said. "But very few people can find the Women's Country. Can't you leave?"
"We can't leave."
Fengge shook her head. "Since you're here, you can just stay here with peace of mind. With that barrier, no one can leave!
But don't worry, as the only man in the country, your fate will be decided by the Queen.
Hehe, your treatment definitely won't be bad!"
A young lady beside her reminded her:
"General, your subordinate hasn't had a chance to report this yet. We just received news before we set out that they also captured a man in the capital."
"Really?!"
Fengge's eyes widened. "Then I'm not the only one? My hard-earned merit just flew away like this?"
Another man? At this time? Could it be that Senior Shennong also brought him here?
Wu Wang's heart suddenly... felt a sense of foreboding.
