The Evergreen Race Makes Its Move!

The mutations are still intensifying.

At the Divine Firmament Peak, Shi Jian sat cross-legged, practicing his internal energy. Suddenly, he felt the Dao essence of the Purple Pivot Lightning within his body becoming restless for no reason; his Immortal Foundation began to operate on its own, frantically devouring the surrounding Dao of Lightning energy.

He opened his eyes and looked down at his arm.

Beneath the skin, the bones are slightly expanding, and muscle fibers are breaking and rebuilding; a sore and swollen sensation spreads from the spine to the limbs.

That wasn't due to cultivation, but rather the surging Dao of the Physical Body energy of the universe forcibly reshaping his body.

The Ancestor Egu's breakthrough to enlightenment has entered its final crucial stage.

"The Dao of the Physical Body energy of the entire Beast Realm is converging towards the ancestral land." Shi Jian exclaimed in amazement, then rose and stepped onto the mountain peak.

Above the sky, thick thunderclouds continued to churn; but deep within the clouds, faint streaks of bone-white light could be seen, stretching across the heavens like celestial veins.

That was the manifestation of the Daoist aura of the Barbarian Bone Dao Fruit, which had already covered the entire Beast Realm.

Shan Li then came to his side, his expression grave.

"I've received the latest news." She tossed over a Jade Slip: "It's from the Mountain Bear Lineage. Take a look for yourself."

Shi Jian probed with his Divine Sense, his expression slightly somber.

The Mystic Realm has stirred!

Clearly, as the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth have grown increasingly significant, some people in the Mystic Realm are already becoming restless.

Over the past half month, several hidden void nodes at the border between the Beast Realm and the Mystic Realm have frequently experienced abnormal fluctuations.

Although most of the passages were sealed off by the eight Dao Venerable, a very few gaps were forcibly torn open by the Mystic Realm using some kind of Secret Method.

Countless people have slipped into the Beast Realm through those cracks.

Both Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation exist.

"Is this what they call the Evergreen Race?" Shi Jian asked.

"That's right."

"The main race of the Mystic Realm shares the same roots as the Human Race, being a Human Race that separated millions of years ago; they have practitioners specializing in Sword Dao, Metal Dao, and Dao of the Physical Body, and their foundation is not much inferior to that of the Beast Realm."

"This time, our clan's adversary is Sword Origin Dao Venerable of the Evergreen Race; I wonder if the other Golden Dao Venerable of the Evergreen Race will also intervene."

"It seems their goal is to find the place where the Ancestor Egu attained enlightenment; since the Dao Venerable cannot intervene, he has sent Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation to obstruct the Dao."

Shi Jian crushed the Jade Slip. Once the exact location was found, the Mystic Realm could make targeted arrangements; either forcibly interrupt the E Gu's path to enlightenment when it was at its weakest, or set up a killing formation in advance.

The attempt to break through from the Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage to the next level is already fraught with peril; if further interference from external forces occurs, it becomes a certain death.

"The Beast Realm is so vast; even if thousands or tens of thousands of people infiltrate it, they might not be able to find it."

"Whether we can find them or not is one thing, but if we miss even one, the consequences will be unimaginable; the Eight Great Dao Venerable and the Nascent Spirit Transformation of various races are doing their utmost to hunt down these infiltrators; but the Beast Realm is so vast that there are bound to be corners that cannot be covered."

She glanced at Shi Jian: "Like here."

"Furthermore, the most likely location for the Ancestor Egu to attain enlightenment is within our clan's territory; any forces that have infiltrated will certainly not give up on infiltrating our clan."

Although Divine Firmament Plain is located at the junction of three races and is in a remote position, most of the attention of the gods Spirit Transformation is focused on the area around the ancestral land and the border passes.

These remote and secluded places are actually easy for infiltrators to pass through.

Shi Jian gripped the Thunder Spear tightly.

"Issue the order: martial law throughout the entire territory." He said in a deep voice, "Activate all the restrictions on the six peaks. All Demon General above the Golden Core stage are to patrol the vast expanse."

"Any traces of beings Non-Self race are detected; there's no need to report them, just kill them on sight."

Shan Li raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips, "You're certainly decisive."

"Enough talk, get on it."

Three days later, late at night.

The Divine Firmament Plain above Shenxiao Plain was covered with clouds for thousands of miles, utterly silent.

Five figures, enveloped in extremely concealed escape light, silently swept past from the northwest; their auras were completely concealed by some Secret Method, merging with the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic).

Even an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator might not be able to detect it from a hundred miles away.

The leader was tall and slender, wearing a dark green robe and a short sword at his waist; his face was cold and stern, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's.

Their appearance is very similar to that of Human Race.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that its skin is mostly bluish; and on some of its foreheads, fine, metallic-like scales grow.

The leader, with a cultivation level at the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage, had his aura suppressed to the extreme, resembling a stubborn rock devoid of any Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

They were the Evergreen Race, the elite of the Mystic Realm.

"Where is this place?" he asked telepathically behind him.

A thin, Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator took out a jade map tablet, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and then replied in a low voice, "The border area between the Frenzied Lion, Heavenly Snake, and Giant Bear races, the southern edge of the Giant Bear Clan's territory."

"According to intelligence, a newly established minor sect, named the Lightning Bear Line, has taken over an area of approximately 100,000 li."

"How strong are you?"

"Specifics are unclear, only that there are Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, but the exact number is unknown; it's just a small sect that's only been established for about a hundred years, so it probably won't cause any trouble."

The leader nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the six main peaks below.

Even from thousands of miles away, he could feel the extremely dense aura of Dao of Lightning; the purple-gold thunderclouds above the three thunder peaks appeared and disappeared in the night, quite eye-catching.

"Ignore it, just go around it."

He made a quick decision. "The target is in the north, and the place where the E Gu attained enlightenment is most likely near the ancestral land of the Giant Bear; we just need to find the node with the densest energy and send the coordinates back."

"I wonder if that E Gu demon bear will attain enlightenment here."

The five streaks of light changed direction and quietly shifted northward; however, just as they passed over the Divine Firmament Plain...

Tens of thousands of miles below, in cave abode Divine Firmament Peak, Shi Jian suddenly opened his eyes.

His Divine Sense spread across the sky for tens of thousands of miles from beginning to end, and not even a bird flying by could escape his perception.

Moreover, the five strange auras, concealed by Secret Method, were no different from torches in the dark before his divine soul, which far surpassed that of others of the same level.

"They've come, just as expected."

"There really are flies that aren't afraid of death, venturing into this desolate place of mine."

Shi Jian stood up and made a hand Method Formula.

On Divine Firmament Peak, a purple-gold command flag rose silently; it fluttered in the night wind, a kill order he and Shan Li had agreed upon beforehand.

On the six peaks, four Nascent Soul auras erupted almost simultaneously.

Shi Jian ascended into the air, with Purple Pivot Lightning exploding on his body; the phantom of a pale giant bear appeared and disappeared behind him.

He thrust his spear straight into the sky, his figure transforming into a streak of purple-gold lightning, instantly breaking through the clouds.

Shan Li flew out from the direction of the volcano, his bright yellow robe fluttering, a short spear held horizontally at his side; Xiong Gang and Xiong Lei, one on the left and one on the right, rose into the air from the other peaks, their Nascent Soul Dao power fully unleashed.

The four Nascent Soul Nascent Soul blocked the paths of the five streaks of light from four directions.

Who goes there!

The leader, a cultivator in a dark green robe, suddenly changed his expression. His concealment Secret Method crumbled instantly under the pressure of the four Nascent Soul cultivators.

He never expected that such a remote and small sect would have four Nascent Soul guarding it!

Furthermore, the opponent's decisive action and precise encirclement clearly indicated premeditation; most importantly, how were they discovered?

With their Secret Method of concealment, they are undetectable to anyone other than Spirit Transformation Divine Sense.

Could it be that there is a Nascent Spirit Transformation here?!
