Arc 22The Choice Before the War
Mu Bai survived Lu Changlin’s pursuit, refused to be claimed by the Li Dragon Tribe, and traveled across the Northern Plains before returning to Eastern Ridge. As the Human Race prepared to fight the Immortal Race, Mu Bai offered Mu Lan Pavilion’s resources to the cause and watched its people disperse, while Qingtian joined him.
- Mu Bai escaped Lu Changlin with Qian Fengming’s help, realized that he and Hai Chen were reincarnated sons of the Immortal Emperor, and resolved to oppose the plan to use the Origin Realm as pill ingredients.
- Mu Bai rejected Li Dao Hong’s offer to make him master of the Li Dragon Tribe, reunited with Ye Wan at Qianlai Mountain, and left after she chose to remain with the Western Plains cultivators.
- After traveling north, Mu Bai collapsed near Earthfire City and Xi Yan took him home, and he protected her from Chen Mu Fei and punished Chen Mu Fei and his father Mu Bai with one hundred strokes each.
- Mu Bai left treasures with Xi Bazì and Sweet Potato Boy and returned to Eastern Ridge, while Chen Mu Fei unleashed the Qianyuan Sacred Robe and wrecked Mu Lan Pavilion.
- Xi Bazì and Sweet Potato Boy arranged to build Ice Lake City with the Ice Forest Sect and Sword Sect, while Mu Bai arrived in Ximu City and reunited with his allies.
- Mu Bai offered Mu Lan Pavilion’s assets, worth more than 860 billion Soul Crystals, to Rao Lin’s Human Race army and asked the pavilion’s people whether they wished to stay or leave.
- Red Dance left to join Granny Blood Phoenix, Yan Yan led five hundred thousand War Hall cultivators north, and many others departed as Rao Lin arrived with his army.
- Qingtian challenged Rao Lin over the Human Emperor’s betrayal of the Heavenly Devil Race, and Mu Bai separated them before leaving with Qingtian and giving him Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.
