“Damn it. Why do they all seem like they’re cheating…” White Tiger, on a mountain peak, couldn’t help but cry out in shock and surprise, staring with bulging eyes, looking utterly dumbfounded.

[Elder Sister, Fourth Brother, and Little Tenth were already formidable. Yet, with the surge of this Spiritual Energy, they had started undergoing another round of terrifying transformations, with various omens appearing around them.]

“Uh…” Feeling a bit frustrated, White Tiger couldn’t help but envy them.

[This is cheating, blatant cheating.] However, just at that moment, for some reason, White Tiger suddenly felt a surge of heat originating inside his body, accompanied by an indescribable restlessness.

“This feels so strange…”  Puzzled, White Tiger instinctively turned his gaze to a massive Divine Tree not far away, towering so high it seemed to touch the sky and overshadow the entire world.

After a moment, a slender figure, sporting a meaningful smile, entered his sight.

“Master, there’s something…”

However, before White Tiger could even finish his question, a playful voice rang in his ears, “You say others are cheating, but you’re not much better yourself.”

As soon as the words fell, White Tiger’s body trembled violently.

Immediately after, a pair of fierce eyes entered his sight. They were definitely Tiger Eyes, but they could not be described with words alone.

Savage yet cruel, filled an indescribable greed.

At the same time, unbeknownst to White Tiger, a phantom also appeared behind him.

*Roooaaar…* Amidst a terrifying roar that sounded much like a Tiger’s roar, the phantom became clearer.

It was a strange beast with snowy-white fur, sporting two pale golden Dragon Horns on its forehead, a beak-like mouth, and a pair of black wings.

White Tiger, on the other hand, did not have the Dragon Horns, and his mouth was also different.

As for the wings, both possessed them. Except, White Tiger’s were snow-white Dragon Wings.

The Qiongqi was an ancient evil beast, and was one of the Four Fiends of Ancient Times.

There had long been signs indicating that White Tiger had Qiongqi Bloodline, but it had always been dormant. Now, under the impact of the Third Spiritual Energy Tide, that ancient bloodline was finally awakening.

“Innate Divine Ability, Promote Evil and Condemn Good…” With a resonant roar, White Tiger’s pair of wings violently trembled before turning jet-black in just a moment. At the same time, a strange aura erupted from White Tiger.

“Hmmm…” Yu Zi Yu also revealed a look of admiration. [This is truly an era of prosperity! With one superior Clan after another returning, the world is also bound to prosper once again. Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, Little Tenth, Little White, White Tiger… Their ancient bloodlines are truly reviving. But that’s not all.]

Looking up, Yu Zi Yu saw the Elemental Commander–Qing Gang merging into the earth…

On the other side, the White Fox, who once devoured a Heaven and Earth Spirit Grass, also began to breathe in and out Spiritual Energy, cultivating…

Faintly, a seductive silhouette manifested behind her.

There was also Aurora, around which the time seemed to be frozen.

However, compared to these figures, the one Yu Zi Yu was most interested in was…

Shifting his gaze, Yu Zi Yu looked toward Golden Monkey, who stood quietly on a peak. His fur danced in the wind, and his eyes were as deep and profound as ever.

He was just standing there alone, but the inexplicable aura he was emanating gave others the impression as if an army of thousands was standing.

No, rather than calling it aura, it would be apt to call it fighting spirit.

A will to fight against Heaven, fight against Earth, fighting against all the Gods and Buddhas.

The Spirit Monkey Clan had seven major bloodlines. Each bloodline was left behind by a hegemon.

Enlightened Divine Monkey, Long-Armed Divine Monkey, Six-Eared Divine Monkey, Water-Controlling Divine Monkey, Yin-Yang Divine Monkey, Divine Monkey Informing Wind, and Divine Monkey Who Drive Away Gods.

So long as the seven bloodlines remained, the Spirit Monkey Clan would endure throughout eternity.

And now, as the leader of the Spirit Monkey Clan, the bloodline within Golden Monkey, finally awakened.

Spirit Monkey Bloodline: Enlightened Lineage — A lineage with the most dominant Dao. Descendants of this lineage are skilled in transformations, observing stars, and have the ability to shift stars and change constellations.
Innate Divine Ability: Shift Stars and Change Constellations — Understanding the laws of star movements, the user of this ability can hurl adversaries thousands of kilometers away using the power of shifting stars and changing constellations.

Slightly narrowing his eyes and going through Golden Monkey’s status screen, Golden Monkey’s extraordinary power was lay bare to Yu Zi Yu.

At this moment, if one were to look carefully, they would see signs of celestial bodies moving within the depths of the Golden Monkey’s eyes.

As the stars revolved, his aura became even more obscure, even Yu Zi Yu found it somewhat unpredictable.

“En… The bloodlines these guys are awakening are more extraordinary than the other.” In admiration, a heartfelt smile appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s face.

Day by day, he meticulously nurtured them.

Day by day, he watched them grow.

Now, they finally rose.

In the future, Yu Zi Yu could confidently say that even if he did not make a move, his subordinates could sweep through the world.

They might not be to the point of being invincible, but except for those ancient beings with mythological bloodlines, everyone else, including those who rivaled their level, would be swept aside.

And this time, they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage due to lack of combat experience or anything else.

In the beginning, they were still young. And having always lived under Yu Zi Yu’s protection, there naturally existed a gap.

Be that as it may, this gap was small.

At least, when fighting opponents of the same level, few could defeat the strongest combatants of Misty Mountains.

And now… they have become even more unbeatable.

Even if True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes appeared, they would have to fight before understanding the exact gap.

“Hahaha…” Amidst hearty laughter, Yu Zi Yu became lost in thought, simply because at this moment, some vague memories started flashing through his mind.

It was a massive Tree that rooted itself in Heaven and Earth. From afar, it looked like an ox, but up close, its bark resembled yellow snake skin, and its leaves were like fishing nets, with multiple mesh-like patterns, appearing quite peculiar.

There was no denying that it was an extremely strange Tree, simply because its trunk was purple, its leaves azure , its flowers black, and its fruits yellow.

Four different colors in one, it was extremely eerie.

However, that was not the scariest part.

What was even more terrifying was that this Tree was located by the seaside, where it should be quite noisy, and yet not even a sound could be heard, and neither did it have any shadow.

It was Jianmu, one of the oldest Divine Trees.

No less than the legendary Immortal Sweet Osmanthus. And in terms of foundation,  it was even more extraordinary, simply because it connected Heaven and Earth, acting as a bridge.

Although this was only a legend, it also reflected the great power of this Ancient Divine Tree to some extent.

Now, such a Divine Tree had appeared in Yu Zi Yu’s mind.

“Why would I awaken this bloodline?” Yu Zi Yu looked astonished and confused. [Do I have some kind of a connection to Jianmu?]

However, seemingly responding to him, a mysterious voice filled with vicissitudes echoed in his mind,

“Jianmu is the bridge between Heaven and Earth, also the manifestation of the Will of the Heavenly Dao, unique and irreplicable. Using it, one could ascend to Heaven and descend to the Underworld. If awakened, soon, it can hold up a part of Heaven and Earth, turning into a Divine Tree that bridges Heaven and Earth……”

Yu Zi Yu listened in a daze, somewhat stunned. Simply because this voice was like the voice of the Heavenly Dao, indifferent and cold.

“Uh…” In his brief moment of shock, Yu Zi Yu felt an inexplicable force rising within him. It was an extremely mysterious and domineering force, impossible to describe with words alone.

“Reject, I must reject it!” Yu Zi Yu immediately blurted out these words in his mind, not giving it any thought.

Just the manifestation of the will of Heavenly Dao was enough for Yu Zi Yu to reject this ancient bloodline without hesitation.

After all, as the world was just in its early phase, the power of Heavenly Dao was extremely weak. So, it needed a spokesperson, and Jianmu happened to be a good choice.

However, the problem was, when the Heavenly Dao had become stronger, Jianmu would definitely no longer be necessary.

After all, the Will of the Heavenly Dao was the most ruthless, and the coldest.

Getting too close to such a supreme existence would only end in tragedy.

Furthermore, a supreme existence like the Heavenly Dao was truly terrifying itself.

Every powerful entity attempting to go against Heaven would be willing to go to any lengths to eliminate Jianmu once they sensed its existence.

In ancient legends, the last Jianmu that supported Heaven and Earth was completely obliterated by the Divine Ability, Extinction of Heaven and Earth, eradicated from the world.

While it was getting attacked in the front, it allowed the Heavenly Dao to remain hidden, obscured in obscurity.
