Canglan Continent
Wearing protective robes and holding the Void-Breaking Shuttle he had risked his life to seize in the secret realm, Sima Huan attacked the weak points of the boundary membrane leading to the mortal dynasty.
This is the first time in over thirty years that he has launched an attack on the mortal realm's boundary membrane.
The attack went very smoothly. Before long, he opened the boundary membrane and entered the mortal realm. After he entered the mortal realm, the boundary membrane closed instantly.
Wilderness Continent
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain
Mu Qing felt a tremor in her heart, and a sense of unease inexplicably arose within her.
Previously, when he left the mortal realm, the Heavenly Dao of the mortal realm gave him a wisp of primordial power, which was a wisp of white smoke-like energy that hovered motionless in his dantian.
It suddenly fluctuated for a moment, then calmed down again.
Mountain Stone Tribe
Mu Bai planted the few Life Fruits from the mother tree that he had previously given to Mu Qing, but which Mu Qing had refused, and cultivated ten more Life Sub-Trees saplings.
These ten Life Tree saplings were scattered and planted on the edge of the Awakening Forest.
Upon hearing the news, the beastmen of the Mountain Stone Tribe cheered and spread the word, overjoyed.
The beastmen who went to Awakening Valley to check on the saplings came and went in an endless stream.
After several months of silence, Awakening Valley has become lively again.
Yao Zhi also liked to go to Awakening Valley when she had nothing to do, staring at the entrance of Awakening Forest and eagerly waiting.
I hope to encounter one or two members of the Wood Spirit Clan, and of course, it would be even better if I could obtain one or two rare medicinal herbs.
When Tu Ye learned of his idea, he was stunned into silence.
She secretly felt that Lady Yaozhi was being far-fetched and delusional.
He asked the tribespeople, and they said that since the Wood Spirits entered the Awakening Forest, no one from the tribe had come out.
Mortal Realm
Sima Huan returned to the mortal realm, landing in a desolate desert.
The yellow sand stretched endlessly, and there was no sign of human habitation.
He knew this was the work of the Heavenly Dao of this realm, and scoffed, "The Heavenly Dao of this realm truly dislikes him; utterly ignorant, ha..."
"It's utterly laughable that such a tiny, almost nonexistent consciousness would dare to target him."
"Back then, he was a founding emperor revered by thousands, a young prince who unified the world, how glorious he was! If it weren't for Tao Yao..."
Thinking of this, Sima Huan felt an overwhelming hatred for Tao Yao.
Sima Huan was born during a time of constant warfare and the struggle for supremacy among the seven warring states.
He didn't know who his biological parents were and had been taken in by an old beggar since childhood.
From as far back as he could remember, he had been wandering around with the old beggar, living a life of hunger, cold, and uncertainty.
Having experienced the full spectrum of human nature's warmth and coldness, and witnessed the vicissitudes of life.
He is intelligent and meticulous. Even at a young age, he doesn't show his emotions and knows exactly what he wants.
When he was ten years old, he learned that the general of the Southern Kingdom was recruiting militia, and he realized that his opportunity had come.
He cruelly abandoned the elderly and sick beggar and rushed to the city gate overnight to register.
Although he was young, he was ruthless in battle and, with his fierce determination and fighting spirit, became a centurion a year later.
His fearless and ruthless spirit on the battlefield was appreciated by the general of the Southern Kingdom. Over the years, he made many outstanding contributions and was promoted to deputy general.
After that, he went to great lengths to instigate the Southern Kingdom general to rebel.
After the rebellion succeeded, he lured and persuaded the general's favorite concubine to poison the general at the victory banquet, killing him.
Afterwards, he secretly killed the general's favorite concubine.
He fooled everyone with his superb acting skills and was eventually supported by the crowd to ascend the throne as the new emperor.
At that time, he was not yet twenty years old.
Although he had little formal education, he was unmatched in the world when it came to using intrigue and manipulating people's hearts.
Under his leadership, the Southern Kingdom won many battles and conquered three surrounding small countries in just two years, taking control of half of the entire dynasty.
It was around that time that he met Tao Yao, who had an exquisite appearance and an ethereal beauty.
A crimson peach blossom mark appeared inexplicably on the boy's brow in the southern land. He seemed to have been injured and lost his memory, not even knowing who he was, only vaguely remembering that someone called him Tao Yao.
