Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 377 - 356: Master Mu Emerges from Seclusion

Chapter 377: Chapter 356: Master Mu Emerges from Seclusion

I see.

The Great Cold and Minor Cold, cold waves descending from the sky, capable of covering the entire Cultivation Realm. Is this an apocalypse of cold waves?

Thinking it over, Wang Wu asked again, "I want to know about the situation in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison."

"Sorry, the relevant information is missing."

"Damn! Then I want to understand the overall structure of this Cultivation Realm."

"Sorry, the data is missing, and there’s nothing to disclose."

"Impressive, then tell me about the Spirit Net, like its past and present."

"Nothing to disclose!"

"Then can you at least tell me how many Immortal Alliances are in this Cultivation Realm?"

"Grandpa Tree’s database: Currently known, there are only two; one is the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance, and the other is the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance. However, detailed data on their exact size and strength are lacking, but it is true that both sides have been in constant conflict."

"Tell me about the internal structure of the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance? I mean, roles like the Mountain Master of Mu Yang and the Water Lord."

"Xiongpi Clan’s database: Mountain Master and Water Lord are basically the highest governing units within the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance. They usually refer to a First-Grade Sealed Lord covering an area of a hundred thousand miles, all possessing Super First-Grade strength. Their greatest responsibility in the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance is to maintain the operation of the Spirit Net, and periodically respond to external war commands from the alliance. Otherwise, they have complete freedom and can attack each other and seize territories, but as long as they don’t annihilate each other, the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance usually doesn’t intervene."

"As for above Mountain Master and Water Lord, sorry, nothing to disclose! Unless, you obtain Super First-Grade strength."

"Is there also a Spirit Net in the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance?"

Wang Wu asked again.

"Peacock Clan’s database: Information is limited and cannot be described, but it is likely that it exists. However, it’s not widely integrated because whether to fully integrate the Spirit Net is the biggest disagreement between the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance."

Understood, where there are Immortals supporting the Spirit Net, naturally, there are those who oppose it.

Wang Wu thought for a moment and asked from a different angle, "Tell me about the Dimensional Spirit Net."

This time, it was the attribute bar’s turn to answer.

"The Dimensional Spirit Net is an extension of the Spirit Net. Due to undisclosed reasons, the Spirit Net possesses many characteristics such as space folding, space partitioning, and space tearing. The understanding is that it can use the Spirit Net to divide an originally complete world into countless smaller worlds. Such methods are mystical yet broadly applied—from the worlds within the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, to storage boxes that can hold mountains and rivers, to the space worlds inside storage pouches—all are cut and folded in this way."

"The Dimensional Spirit Net can be considered a beggar’s version of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, a relatively large space separated by the Spirit Net. It is usually divided into five types: one is the Gray Mist Zone, used to place Mortals and common beasts, often called the seed bank. Here, no cultivator or Demon Spirit Monster is allowed; any that appear are exterminated."

"One is the Black Gray Mist Zone, usually referring to areas breached by the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance, where limited freedom is allowed."

"The third is the White Spirit Mist Zone, where you are now. This is the largest space, occupying the absolute majority of the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance. Most cultivators gather here and have no opportunity to enter the fourth, namely the Cyan Spirit Mist Zone, in their lifetimes."

"The Cyan Spirit Mist Zone often belongs to those First-Grade cultivators or Super First-Grade cultivators, where the Spiritual Qi is abundant like a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land."

"As for the fifth type, the Golden Spirit Mist Zone, it’s only a legend."

——

Hearing this, Wang Wu nodded; it seems that the technology applications of the Spirit Net have actually been spread out early on. But now, this Spirit Net was devised by the Immortals of the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance.

On the other hand, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance rejects this, leading to disagreements and war, though there may be other reasons as well.

"Can you tell me the way to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance?" Wang Wu asked again.

"No, the last time escapees from the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower went to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance was because an unspeakable existence intervened personally; you’ve already missed the best opportunity. Of course, you can also choose to set out during the Great Cold or Minor Cold when the Spirit Net is severed, but you would have to bear an enormous risk you cannot imagine."

"Even if you really want to do that, we would recommend that you elevate your strength to Super First-Grade before setting out, otherwise, you’ll be on a path to death."

Wang Wu fell silent for a long time—he couldn’t hold back from asking.

"Why do the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance have such a large disagreement over the Spirit Net?"

"Nothing to disclose!"

Wang Wu sneered; he knew this was the answer.

But in the next second, a line of information appeared, provided by the Peacock Clan’s database.

Or perhaps, it was a choice.

"Do you want to be that bird that can fly? When the whole world is filled with darkness, with no light, no future, no way out, do you still insist on flying up?"

Wang Wu fell silent. The Peacock Emperor often likened itself to a bird that can fly, so Wang Wu thought it was a fool.

But now he realizes that wanting to be a flying bird actually requires tremendous courage.

Does he have the courage?

For a long time, for a long time, the sky brightened, sunlight poured down, the sky was clear like washed, it was a new day.

It seemed beautiful, and in reality, it was indeed beautiful.

He bore no burden nor mission; born a human, yet transformed into a bear, whether Human Race or Demon Race, left him with no sense of belonging.

He survived cautiously and lived only for himself.

Call him selfish, yet he had some conscience.

Call him broad-minded, but in reality, he had no grand ambitions.

Like an ordinary person, having had his chance, he remained cautious, resigned to his fate.

Can he rise up?

"No, it’s not about being the bird that can fly. I have to ensure I can rise first, and after I rise, whether I’m a bird or not, whether I can fly, should be up to me!"

Wang Wu finally gave an answer, also his consistent spiritual core.

All grand ideals rolled aside, he only committed to surviving cautiously, and when he matured, then you can ask, do I have grand ideals?

The Four Clowns made no comment on this response, but it was indeed a choice, so very quickly, four lines of information resolutely emerged.

"Master Mu left behind three last wishes! We decided to open them to you."

"The divergence and war between the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance originated from a wager, but what wager is unknown, as those who knew have all died."

"You’re not the rule maker; you can only struggle to survive under the rules, not qualified to point fingers."

"When you think you are very strong, the truth is, you have always been so weak. Despair is our inborn fate."

——

Big Macaque was very happy today, not just because the water source problem that had troubled Bear Ridge was resolved, but also because, after five years in seclusion, Master Mu finally emerged successfully today.

"Master Mu! Brother Mu, congratulations, congratulations! I waited for your emergence until the flowers withered!"

Big Macaque was so excited that he almost teared up, rushed up, and gave Wang Wu a warm hug; the joy was genuinely heartfelt from the depths.

And Wang Wu, at this moment, had transformed into a white-haired, skinny old man, harmonizing with the crooked tree behind him, yet this morning, a small green sprout emerged from the crooked tree, a good omen, also signifying Master Mu’s prowess advanced to a higher level. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Brother Mu, congratulations, congratulations, you look very well today, our Bear Ridge is finally saved!" The Old Zhou exaggeratedly made Master Mu seem like Bear Ridge’s great savior.

However, Jia Ding Monkey was not very convinced, but it wasn’t too outrageous; he also smiled and offered a few congratulations.

At this time, Big Macaque directly said: "Master Mu, I know you just emerged and need a few days of rest, and it’s somewhat inappropriate, but the situation is genuinely urgent. In the past five years, Bear Ridge has seen 187 ten-year-old trees wither, and six kinds of shrubs and vines are about to die."

"Most importantly, there’s the five-hundred-year-old Purple-skinned Yellow Flower Lime in Little North Mountain; it’s our Bear Ridge’s precious treasure and is now wilting. We’ve tried everything, but no results, and Master Yellow Wasp from Wasp Cave has already urged us three or five times, saying if it doesn’t bloom within a month, they would cancel the deal with our Bear Ridge."

"Purple-skinned Yellow Flower Lime?"

Wang Wu feigned great surprise; his eyebrows leaped high. Without another word, a flawless Wood Escape disappeared him from the spot, and seconds later, he appeared fifty miles away.

Bear Ridge’s Little North Mountain wasn’t within the small grove with the spring; it was always receiving special treatment, situated on a large mound, dozens of miles round, without a single tree, all nutrients prioritized for it.

For this five-hundred-year-old lime tree was truly the house tree of Bear Ridge!

The hen that lays golden eggs!

The reason being, it’s one of Bear Ridge’s legitimate Spiritual Qi income avenues aside from the higher-ups’ Spiritual Qi funding.

Concerning everyone’s Spiritual Qi subsidies, who wouldn’t be anxious?

Of course, Wang Wu also crammed some knowledge, and with the Four Clowns strategizing, learned of such an unremarkable lime tree.

Standing in front of this at least three-hundred-meter-high lime tree, with its crown spread like a small mountain, Wang Wu displayed a pained expression, his beard quivering, for it was truly heartbreaking.

Although the lime tree still looked lush, many leaves were curling, wilting, only a few small yellow flowers scattered on the treetop.

What’s causing this?

At this moment, Big Macaque, Old Zhou, and Jia Ding Monkey gradually arrived, all looking at him expectantly, while Wang Wu, without hesitation, used his Level 15 Spirit Essence. This was definitely not a simple pest trouble, because the lime tree itself was a Seventh Grade Spirit Plant, watched day and night by the Spiritual Monkeys and some of Old Zhou’s disciples, not even a fly could enter.

So, there must be something fishy!
