The Azure Wood Sect is a small sect with only five Kingdom-level experts. They are famous for the Azure Wood Everlasting Spring Technique, a unique skill whose greatest benefit is longevity. Those who cultivate it live longer than others. However, this makes it unsuitable for combat. But a predecessor in the Azure Wood Sect made changes, adapting the technique to a more effective fighting style: the Azure Sun Sword Qi. This sword technique is incredibly unpredictable; it steals life force. Once unleashed, it silently absorbs the enemy's life force to nourish the user, making it a particularly insidious technique. This sword technique, combined with the Azure Wood Everlasting Spring Technique, is extremely powerful.

It was precisely because of this that the Green Wood Sect gradually became a sect with some reputation, and at the same time, the Green Wood Sect also gained a kingdom-level expert.

Previously, the Green Wood Sect was just a small sect without even a Kingdom-level expert. Some people might find it strange that since the Green Wood Everlasting Spring Technique could clearly extend a person's lifespan and allow them to live longer, why didn't they have any Kingdom-level experts in their sect? The reason is actually quite simple: the Green Wood Everlasting Spring Technique is extremely slow to cultivate. Although this technique can extend a person's lifespan, the slow cultivation speed means that many people, while living long lives, are not very strong. This is a weakness of the Green Wood Sect.

However, the sect elder who later created the Qingyang Sword Qi changed the cultivation method of the Qingmu Changchun Gong. Previously, the Qingmu Changchun Gong could only be cultivated by absorbing external spiritual energy, but the improved version can now absorb the essence of plants and trees for cultivation, which greatly speeds up their cultivation. If the Qingmu Sect continues to develop, they may indeed develop into a major sect.

However, the people of the Green Wood Sect are now very nervous. They all know that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is attacking various sects, and they are not far from the Five Spirits Sect, so they may become the target of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

So after they obtained the method for forging those iron rods, they immediately began to forge them. However, their sect's weapon-forging skills were not very strong, so it was not an easy task for them to forge a sufficient number of iron rods. Finally, the people of the Green Wood Sect came up with a solution: to use their sect's specialty, Green Yang Wood, to replace the iron rods and see if it was feasible. If it was feasible, it would save them a lot of trouble.

The Qingyang Wood is a very tall tree with extremely strong vitality. This tree has a long lifespan and grows very tall, with the tallest reaching about a thousand meters and the trunk being tens of meters thick. This tree is a specialty of the Qingmu Sect. This tree can not only assist the people of the Qingmu Sect in their cultivation, but it is also a material used by the people of the Qingmu Sect to make flying swords.

The flying swords of the Green Wood Sect are very special. They cannot be made of metal; instead, they are made using a special method with Green Yang Wood as the material. Therefore, their flying swords are quite unique.

That is why the Qingmu Sect has its own unique method for refining Qingyang wood. This method is unique to them, which is why they are slower at refining iron rods. So later they wondered if they could use Qingyang wood instead of iron rods.

After trying it, they suddenly discovered that this method was indeed feasible. The wooden sticks made using Qingyang wood instead of iron rods were just as effective, no less so than iron rods. Because of this, the Qingyang Sect directly changed their refining materials and used Qingyang wood as the raw material to refine the wooden sticks. Moreover, the wooden sticks they refined were as long as 500 meters and the effect was very good. Because of this, the Qingyang Sect had already set up these wooden sticks made of Qingyang wood around their perimeter and had also assigned people to watch over them.

The place where the Qingmu Sect is located is called Qingyang Mountain. It wasn't originally called that; the Qingmu Sect changed the name later. They also cleared all the other plants on the mountain and planted Qingyang trees on top of them. That's how it became known as Qingyang Mountain.

Because the entire mountain is covered with tall Qingyang trees, and all the disciples of the Qingmu Sect live on the Qingyang trees, it can be said that they are a rather special sect in the entire Divine Kingdom.

Guo Yang was a disciple of the Qingmu Sect. His task was to listen to a wooden stick. He knew very well what it represented, so he was very careful. The wooden stick was next to a Qingyang tree and had been driven into the ground. Guo Yang lived under this tree. He knew very well that he could not stray more than ten feet away from the wooden stick, so his daily range of movement was very limited.

As darkness fell that day, Guo Yang sat there cultivating. While they could absorb the essence of plants for cultivation—which was why they planted Qingyang trees, as they contained the most plant essence—the essence could be replenished as long as one didn't collect too much at once. This was why the Qingmu Sect had switched to planting Qingyang trees. Guo Yang was well aware that the amount of plant essence they could collect from each Qingyang tree each day was limited, but fortunately, his strength wasn't particularly high, and the amount he collected daily was sufficient for his needs.

Just then, Guo Yang suddenly heard a rustling sound. The sound was so loud that it immediately woke him up. He looked around and then his gaze fell on the wooden stick. Upon seeing the stick, Guo Yang's expression immediately became serious. He quickly walked to the stick and put his ear to it. The rustling sound became even clearer. Guo Yang's expression changed, and the next moment he moved his hand. A ball of white light flew out of his hand, soared into the sky, exploded, and finally turned into a huge white sphere of light. This was sending a message to the Qingmu Sect.

After Guo Yang finished transmitting the message, his attention returned to the wooden stick. Just then, he suddenly heard a loud cracking sound, as if something had broken.

Upon hearing the voice, Guo Yang was taken aback, and his expression changed. Just then, a whooshing sound came, and the next moment, a cultivator who looked to be over fifty years old, with black hair and beard and a tall and upright figure, appeared beside Guo Yang. As soon as Guo Yang saw the cultivator, he immediately bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Supreme Elder."

The newcomer was none other than Wei Ling, a Supreme Elder of the Qingmu Sect and a Kingdom-level expert. Wei Ling nodded and then asked, "What's going on? What did you hear?"

Guo Yang immediately replied, "Reporting to the Supreme Elder, I just heard a rustling sound, followed by a loud cracking sound, like the sound of a wooden stick breaking. I suspect that the wooden stick has broken."

Wei Ling nodded without speaking. He walked to the wooden stick, placed his hand on it, and closed his eyes. A moment later, he opened them, his expression completely changed. He immediately waved his hand, and a red ball of light flew up into the sky before exploding. After the ball of light exploded, Wei Ling turned to Guo Yang and said, "Return to the sect immediately and prepare for battle." Guo Yang responded, while Wei Ling flew directly towards the Qingmu Sect and disappeared in the blink of an eye. His speed was much faster than Guo Yang's.

Guo Yang quickly took to the air and flew straight towards the Qingmu Sect. At the same time, the teleportation array that the Qingmu Sect had set up outside the sect immediately sent out a message for help. They were also ready to receive reinforcements. Meanwhile, the Qingmu Sect's defensive array was also set up. Their defensive array was also cyan and was a wood-attribute defensive array.

Just as their defensive array was set up, a Golden Wheel of Creation burst forth from the ground, releasing a purple sword aura that struck the defensive array. With a deafening boom, the array was cleaved open by the sword aura. The Green Wood Sect's defensive array was indeed strong, but they were facing the Magnetic Sword Array of the Wood Element released by the Golden Wheel of Creation, which they could not withstand. Thus, the defensive array was broken with a single sword strike, and Xu Ying and the others rushed straight into the Green Wood Sect.

However, when they rushed into the Green Wood Sect, they were immediately stunned, because there was no one there at all. This greatly surprised Xu Ying and the others, who were wondering what was going on. Xu Ying looked around and finally his gaze fell on the Green Sun Trees. He immediately shouted, "Attack those trees! Destroy all the trees! Use fire magic!"

At his voice, all the elders of the Blood Slaughter Sect responded, and then countless fire-based spells landed directly on the trees. However, to Xu Ying's surprise, the trees secreted a liquid when they were burned, and this liquid had a good fire-extinguishing effect. It seemed that the trees did not achieve the effect that Xu Ying wanted.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ying was stunned. He immediately shouted, "Use Divine Fire!" At his command, the elders of the Blood Slaughter Sect instantly understood. With a thought, flames of various colors erupted from their hands and landed on the trees. The sap secreted by the trees couldn't withstand the flames, and the trees quickly burst into flames. Some trees, upon encountering the flames, froze instantly, then melted into shards of ice when attacked by the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples. To the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples' surprise, they could see the bodies of cultivators within the ice shards. These bodies were frozen solid, already dead. Now everyone in the Blood Slaughter Sect knew that the Green Wood Sect members had been hiding in the trees, apparently using a wood-based escape technique. (End of Chapter)
