Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 139

Aside from Bai Qianzhang, the Immortal Mushroom had also reached the supreme-grade of the fourth-tier.

The Silvermoon Wolf King was now an upper-grade fourth-tier being.

Below Bai Qianzhang and the Immortal Mushroom was the Water Buffalo, a mid-grade fourth-tier existence.

The Mermaid and Sea Monk had also advanced to low-grade fourth-tier beings.

The Snow Mink, Roe Deer, Shadow Beetle, Earthquake Bear, and Purple-Gold Mosquito were all at the supreme-grade of the third tier.

The White Spirit Python, Ironback Ape, and the Spirit Crows were just underneath, at the upper grade of the third-tier.

Among the human commanders, Su Yao and Lin Che were at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Huang Shuling was in the late Golden Core stage.

Ruan Huian was in the mid-Golden Core stage.

Su Luo and Su Qianqian were in the early Golden Core stage.

The other members of the Su family had also seen significant improvements in their cultivation, with all key members becoming Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Time Passed Swiftly

In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.

During this month, the Misty Forbidden Zone maintained a low profile.

As long as the various external forces did not provoke the Misty Forbidden Zone, it would not take any action, gradually reducing its presence.

Though the Misty Forbidden Zone remained significant in the eyes of the world, it was no longer the focus of attention.

Conversely, other forbidden zones began to rise.

The Mandrake Flower, which had once appeared in Su Family Village, took root in Pengzhou Prefecture in the southern region of the Great Xia and established the Mandrake Forbidden Zone.

Pengzhou Prefecture attempted to destroy the Mandrake Forbidden Zone, but its 200,000-strong army was defeated.

From then on, a new top-tier forbidden zone appeared within the Great Xia’s borders.

The Extreme North Forbidden Zone also began expanding aggressively, claiming a third of Bingzhou Prefecture’s territory.

For a while, these two top-tier forbidden zones seemed to overshadow the Misty Forbidden Zone.

Many even wondered if the Misty Forbidden Zone had weakened, or why else would it suddenly become so low-profile?

What the world’s major powers did not realize was that the Misty Forbidden Zone was developing rapidly.

Outwardly, it seemed inactive.

In reality, the main forces of the Misty Forbidden Zone had all moved to the Nanzhao Bay area.

The mist along the coast of Nanzhao Bay had expanded from an initial range of ten thousand feet to thirty thousand feet.

All the commanders of the Misty Forbidden Zone had quietly gathered there.

They led their armies to conquer the ocean.

The sea was incredibly rich in resources, which allowed the Misty Forbidden Zone to grow stronger at a rapid pace.

Their warships came from the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Originally, there had been a naval force stationed along the coast of Nanzhao Bay.

After the fall of the Nanzhao Kingdom, this navy was directly incorporated into the Misty Forbidden Zone.

The army of the Misty Forbidden Zone used these warships to venture deeper into Nanzhao Bay to hunt.

The cultivation of the commanders of the Misty Forbidden Zone had already reached a peak.

They had gained enormous benefits from the war that led to the fall of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Now, after a month of accumulation, they had all broken through their bottlenecks.

The first to break through was the Immortal Mushroom.

As a companion to Su Mu, it had gained astonishing rewards.

It broke through the fourth-tier bottleneck and became the first fifth-tier being under Su Mu’s command.

[Species: Immortal Mushroom]
[Height: 5 inches]
[Lifespan: 30,000 years]
[Rank: Fifth-tier, Lower Grade]
[Abilities: Symbiosis, Immortal Mycelium, Mycelium Entanglement, Mycelium Corrosion, Spore Division, Aquatic Growth]

It now possessed the ability to grow in water.

Thus, it could enter the waters of Nanzhao Bay.

In the world today, the emergence of any fifth-tier existence was of great significance. If other forces were to find out, it would undoubtedly cause a massive shock.

However, the promotion of the Immortal Mushroom occurred in complete silence. Not even the beings within the Misty Forbidden Zone were aware.

After the Immortal Mushroom

The Silvermoon Wolf King further absorbed the power of the ancient Heavenly Wolf blood and advanced to a supreme-grade fourth-tier being.

The Water Buffalo also advanced to the upper-grade of the fourth-tier.

The Mermaid and Sea Monk advanced to mid-grade fourth-tier beings.

The Snow Mink, Roe Deer, Shadow Beetle, Earthquake Bear, and Purple-Gold Mosquito all broke through their bottlenecks and reached the lower-grade of fourth tier.

The White Spirit Python, Ironback Ape, and Spirit Crows advanced to the peak of the third-tier, reaching the supreme-grade.

Among the human commanders, Su Yao and Lin Che broke through the Golden Core bottleneck and advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

Huang Shuling advanced to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Ruan Huian advanced to the late Golden Core stage.

Su Luo and Su Qianqian advanced to the mid-Golden Core stage.

With such breakthroughs among his subordinates, Su Mu’s own progress was even more significant.

Over the past month, he had accumulated 240,000 years of lifespan through regular means.

Beyond that, he hunted once more in the Nanzhao Bay, gaining an additional 360,000 years of lifespan.

In total, his lifespan increased by 600,000 years.

“The Power of Mist needs to be enhanced again.”

Su Mu focused his consciousness on the Power of Mist.

Enhancing a ninth-tier ability to the tenth-tier required exactly 600,000 years of lifespan.

“Upgrade.”

Su Mu did not hesitate.

Buzz!

In the next moment, his consciousness plunged into a blank state.

The advancement from the ninth tier to the tenth tier was completely beyond Su Mu’s expectations.

It was not the usual brief enhancement period.

He could clearly feel that the Power of Mist was undergoing a slow transformation.

Moreover, he was unable to interrupt this process.

This left Su Mu feeling somewhat helpless.

It seemed that he would not be able to do anything for a while until the upgrade of the Power of Mist was complete.

What Su Mu did not expect was that on the same day, the world underwent a change.

Late at Night

The previously dark sky suddenly lit up.

At that moment, countless beings in this world raised their heads in unison.

Especially those within the Great Xia territory.

They saw a bright shooting star appear in the sky.

The star was falling in the direction of the Great Xia’s domain.

“It’s a meteorite!”

“There have been meteorites before, but never one as bright as this!”

“Oh my, the spiritual energy is so dense, unimaginable amounts of spiritual energy are being released from that meteorite.”

“Could it be a treasure from beyond the heavens?”

The world was in an uproar.

Northeastern Edge of the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range

Eastern River City.

This city was not well-known in the Great Xia.

However, any well-informed faction or cultivator would never underestimate this city.

Because Eastern River City was, in fact, the sect headquarters of the Eastern River Sect.

“The meteorite’s landing spot is within the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range?”

At the core of Eastern River City, within a mountain peak, a man with graying hair but a young face had a glint in his eyes.

He was Yu Luojun, the City Lord of Eastern River and the Sect Master of the Eastern River Sect.

“Sect Master, a great opportunity!”

All the senior members of the Eastern River Sect behind him were excited.

One of them expressed concern, “But the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range is now part of the Misty Forbidden Zone’s territory.”

Yu Luojun’s face remained expressionless. “The spiritual energy emitted by this meteorite is unprecedentedly strong. If I can obtain it, my future power may not be inferior to that of the Lord of the Mist.”

With that, he transformed into a rainbow of light, heading towards the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range.

At the Same Time

A hundred miles outside Eastern River City.

A convoy suddenly stopped.

The horses pulling the carriages were spiritual horses that could travel three thousand miles in a day.

At the front of the convoy, a large banner was hoisted, embroidered with the characters “Golden Sand.”

This was a convoy from the Golden Sand Sect in Golden Sand City.

They had come to Eastern River City to exchange immortal techniques with the Eastern River Sect.

Swish!

The curtain of the central carriage was lifted, revealing a young man with a sickly pallor.

“A meteorite falls from the sky, and good fortune descends upon the world.”

The young man’s eyes were sharp. “The meteorite’s landing spot is closest to the Eastern River Sect. If we hadn’t come, wouldn’t that mean Yu Luojun would have all the advantage?”

“Sect Master, now that we are here, the Eastern River Sect won’t be the one to profit.”

The disciple beside him said.

“Indeed.”

The sickly youth nodded. “Let’s change our course and head straight for the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range.”

At the Same Moment

Cultivators from all over the Great Xia began to move upon hearing the news.

A typical meteorite was nothing to worry about.

But the spiritual energy released from this meteorite was too astonishing.

After it appeared, the spiritual energy of the entire world seemed to grow denser.

How could the various factions not be tempted?

In an instant, numerous teams of cultivators from the Great Xia and even all over the world swarmed toward the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range.

Misty Forbidden Zone

If other beings could detect this disturbance, the Misty Forbidden Zone, which was closest to the event, would naturally be aware of it.

At this moment, all the commanders of the Misty Forbidden Zone had gathered.

“Sister Su Yao.”

All the commanders instinctively looked toward Su Yao.

Whether it was her experience, strength, or wisdom, Su Yao was one of the top leaders of the Misty Forbidden Zone.

For this reason, she had high prestige within the Misty Forbidden Zone.

All the commanders held her in high regard.

“The meteorite’s landing spot is in the northeastern part of the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range.”

Su Yao said, “It’s very close to Eastern River City, so the Eastern River Sect may arrive there even before us.”

“Let me go check it out first.”

The Ironback Ape suggested, “Given the current unknown situation, our main forces must not act recklessly.”

Su Yao thought for a moment and said, “I will go with the Shadow Beetle and you. The other commanders should stay and guard the Misty Forbidden Zone.”

“Agreed.”

All the commanders nodded in agreement.

Northeastern Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range

This area was a swampy terrain. The light was dim, and the jungle was dark and rotten. This place had been rarely visited in the past.

But now, several figures appeared.

These figures were disciples of the Eastern River Sect.

“Hmm? There seems to be an unusual spiritual fluctuation ahead.”

Yu Luojun remarked.

“Sect Master, I will go and investigate.”

The Ninth Elder of the Eastern River Sect offered.

Swish!

His figure darted forward and disappeared into the dense forest ahead.

In less than three breaths.

“Ah!”

A scream rang out.

“Not good.”

Yu Luojun’s face changed drastically, and he slashed forward with his sword.

The power of this sword strike was terrifying.

It cut down the trees ahead, revealing the scene in front.

The Ninth Elder of the Eastern River Sect seemed to have encountered some unknown attack. He had fallen into a swamp and was sinking.

“Master!”

Two disciples of the Ninth Elder rushed forward, trying to pull him out of the swamp.

At that moment, the Ninth Elder suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were pitch black.

Then, the Ninth Elder attacked his two disciples.

Bang! Bang!

The two disciples were immediately sent flying.

“Ninth Elder, what are you doing?”

Everyone in the Eastern River Sect was shocked.

The Ninth Elder said nothing and fiercely attacked the members of the Eastern River Sect.

Yu Luojun quickly realized, “He has been controlled by some mysterious demonic power. Be careful, everyone!”

He stepped forward to block the Ninth Elder.

Then, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.

Several other disciples of the Eastern River Sect suddenly attacked their own companions.

Unbeknownst to them, several disciples of the Eastern River Sect had already been controlled by some mysterious power.

For a moment, Eastern River City was engulfed in internal conflict.

Yu Luojun’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with rage.

He hadn’t expected that before they could even see the face of the demons, they would be fighting amongst themselves.

Seeing that the situation was only getting worse.

“Retreat.”

Yu Luojun had no choice but to grit his teeth and order a retreat.

He had to abandon those disciples who had been controlled.

A Few Miles Away

The Golden Sand Sect’s group arrived.

“Hurry up; we can’t let the Eastern River Sect snatch the opportunity…”

The sickly youth urged.

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze. Not far ahead, a group of people was fleeing in disarray.

He recognized many of them; they were disciples of the Eastern River Sect.

But the Eastern River Sect was not far ahead of them.

According to his estimation, the Eastern River Sect had only been in the swamp for a quarter of an hour.

How could they be in such a sorry state so quickly?

TN: There were so many breakthroughs in this chapter so sorry if it seems a bit redundant but the author left no time for breaks. It was a long one so I hope you enjoy.  Also, side note, the naming of these cities is kind of lazy haha but oh well.
