Chapter 623: Grown up

"Thank the Tree Ancestor for manifesting and saving the Mu family from disaster!"

"Thank the Tree Ancestor for manifesting and saving the Mu family from disaster!"

...

Countless devout voices echoed in all directions, as beams of light from the leaves showered the boundary.

In an instant, they realized all that this evil tree had done to the Mu family, even Mu Jin was shocked, her face full of disbelief...

They had long been brainwashed by their bloodline, flowing with the blood that nurtured the evil tree. Without this final dispelling force, who knew when this evil tree might awaken within them!

The eyes of the living beings became increasingly clear, and their hearts filled with growing horror, except for those few ancestors... Without the Tree Ancestor's manifestation, they would still be in the dark.

Several Mu family ancestors bowed deeply, not rising for a long time.

Their ancient Mu family had completely declined in this grand world, with no pride left in their bloodline. They had dug their own graves, and no one else was to blame.

Their eyes glimmered with hope, feeling only fear from the two, but genuine reverence for the woman. She was the true Tree Ancestor of heaven and earth!

The woman spoke calmly, "People of the Mu family, take care of yourselves. The essence of the Mu Yuan Realm is within me. As long as I live, the boundary will not perish. Do not deceive yourselves again."

After speaking, she slowly turned her head, looking at her eldest and second brothers on the Boundary-breaking Ship, her eyes gradually brightening with warmth, "Eldest brother, second brother~"

"Little Crane? Third sister?"

"Moo?!"

Chen Xun and Black Bull exchanged a shocked glance, feeling as if she had suddenly grown up, transforming from a girl to a young woman, and now into a graceful lady...

And her cultivation had already broken through the Void Refinement phase. Indeed, absorbing the boundary's essence was her true path to cultivation...

"Eldest brother, second brother!"

"Hahaha... Damn it, Bull, what's wrong with you? Our third sister just grew up a bit, and you can't recognize her? Isn't it normal to grow like this over a thousand years?"

"Moo?"

Black Bull was taken aback, snorting in anger at Chen Xun, "Moo?"

"Brother Xun, Brother Bull!" Little Chi came stepping through the air from the ground, a blanket floating in mid-air, looking extremely excited, "Sister Crane broke through, Sister Crane finally broke through! Haha!"

It was overjoyed, seeing Little Crane's breakthrough was even more thrilling than its own. It truly thought Little Crane was the least talented among them, yet she had caught up in the blink of an eye.

Little Crane's long hair fluttered as she stepped through the air with a light smile, her demeanor much more composed, stepping onto the Boundary-breaking Ship to stand before them.

Chen Xun clicked his tongue in amazement, truly a young woman is very different from the little girl she once was. His sister had finally grown up, just like watching Little Black grow up in the small village, it was nostalgic.

He placed a hand on Little Crane's head, and she smiled as she leaned into it, exuding a natural fragrance.

"Third sister, record your height, this is our shared witness, something we can never forget."

"Moo moo!"

"Alright~ eldest brother."

"Brother Xun, Sister Crane has really grown taller, thankfully not like us spirit beasts, where the body swells greatly with each level."

The four figures laughed and chatted on the Boundary-breaking Ship, with Little Chi even taking out an Image Stone to capture the moment. Unknowingly, it had developed this habit.

For a spirit beast of its nature, even being willing to spend spirit stones to buy it was considered a luxury.

Chen Xun was among the taller ones in the human race, but Little Crane's height had grown from his waist to his chest. He didn't mind drawing another line on his landscape-patterned white robe.

Black Bull rubbed its face against Little Crane, who laughed as she gradually changed her luxurious long dress into a simple white gown, looking very elegant.

Chen Xun smiled, his eyes showing the affection of an old father, feeling a bit sentimental.

However, they were unaware of the storm brewing outside.

...

Mengmu Sea Region, Mu Yuan Island.

Members of the Mu family fell to the ground, and Venerable of Longevity had personally appeared.

He brought overseers and inspectors from various immortal palaces, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, covering the sky. How could the garbage recycling plant cause such a commotion?

Yin Tianshou stood in the sky, angrily scolding the million cultivators of the garbage recycling plant. He surrounded Mu Yuan Island with his people, even preventing those from the Tianyin Pavilion from entering or leaving.

The disciples of the five sects in the sea region were a bit panicked, they hadn't done anything. What was the Mu family up to, trying to frame them? They hadn't made a move!

At this time, the palace master of the Linglan Immortal Palace announced to all sides, suppressing all rumors. Mu Yuan Island was fine, and the immortal palace would follow the rules of the grand world, ensuring all Daoists could cultivate immortally in peace!

The garbage recycling plant was negotiating important matters with Mu Yuan Island, and Venerable of Longevity had personally appeared, with no major conflict between the two sides.

He even involved the Tianyin Pavilion, spreading the news through the Nine Heavens Sound Disk.

Cultivators concerned about the matter breathed a sigh of relief, so that was it.

But with Venerable of Longevity involved, the matter wouldn't escalate too far. Conflicts between forces would be mediated by the immortal palace, preventing it from turning the world upside down.

Yin Tianshou, hovering above Mu Yuan Island, scanned the surroundings sharply, capturing many troublemaking immortal slaves.

The immortal palace wouldn't interfere in cultivator disputes, but if the impact grew, he wouldn't stand idly by.

This was a grand event in the sea region, and Ji Yan dared to cause such a commotion now!

The Southern Yu Immortal Palace had already heard the news, with one statement: quell the internal strife, and do not disturb the Daoists from all directions.

Now, all eyes were on the garbage recycling plant and Mu Yuan Island. If anyone dared to start a duel, they would be suppressed with thunderous means!

But Yin Tianshou felt something was amiss. Such a grand display openly surrounding Mu Yuan Island, even catching the Mu family off guard... Ji Yan wasn't hiding anything, what was his goal?

Moreover, the fallen Mu family beings on Mu Yuan Island, he had investigated, were afflicted by blood poison seeping from their postnatal essence.

This meant they had been poisoned during their prenatal essence, undetectable.

But... how was this possible?! Yin Tianshou was shocked, such an evil art existing in the ancient Mu family without any flaw, how was it done...

And why had the blood poison suddenly dissipated, why was Ji Yan attracting the attention of major forces, even the Southern Yu Continent's gaze, was he helping someone...

Suddenly, he shuddered, blurting out, "Chen Xun!"

Yin Tianshou frowned deeply, besides Mu Yuan Island being too quiet, the attention of cultivators in the sea region was drawn to the event and the battle here, leaving other happenings unnoticed and unknown!

Even the Linglan Immortal Palace started telling the immortal palaces nothing happened, buying them time, had Ji Yan infiltrated the immortal palace too?!

"Heh." Yin Tianshou stroked his beard, his gaze deep, this Chen Xun was now acting without leaving a trace, the thousand-year Immortal Prison hadn't been in vain.
