The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 357 The Emergence of Master Mu
It turned out to be the case.

During the coldest and most frigid periods, a massive wave of cold air descends from the sky, capable of covering the entire cultivation world. Are they planning to stage an apocalypse due to this cold wave?

After thinking for a moment, Wang Wu asked again, "I would like to know about the Great Wilderness Prison."

"Sorry, relevant information is missing."

"Damn! Then I want to understand the overall structure of the current cultivation world."

"Sorry, the information is missing and we have no comment."

"Awesome, then let's talk about the Spirit Network, like past lives and reincarnation."

"No comment!"

"Then tell me how many immortal alliances there are in this cultivation world, okay?"

"Grandpa Tree's Information Database: Currently, only two are known: the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance. However, there is no detailed data to support the size and strength of either side, but they have indeed been fighting each other."

"Tell me about the internal structure of the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance? I mean, something like the level of the Mountain Lord of Muyang or the Water Lord of a region."

"Bear Clan Information Database: Mountain Lords and Water Lords are basically the highest-level governing units in the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance. They usually refer to First-Rank Monarchs who occupy 100,000 li of territory, and their strength is uniformly that of a Super First-Rank being. Their greatest responsibility in the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance is to maintain the operation of the Spirit Network. At the same time, they must respond to the Immortal Alliance's orders for external wars every once in a while. Apart from that, they are completely free. They can attack each other and seize territory from each other, but as long as they are not completely wiped out, the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance usually will not intervene."

"As for those above the Mountain Lord and Water Lord levels, I'm sorry, I have no comment! Unless you possess the strength of a Super First Rank."

"Does the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance also have a Spirit Network?"

Wang Wu asked again.

"Peacock Family Information Database: Information is limited and cannot be described, but it is highly likely to exist. However, it has not been widely accessed because whether or not to fully access the Spirit Network is the biggest point of contention between the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance."

I understand. There are immortals who support the Spirit Network, and naturally there are those who don't.

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

Now it's the properties panel's turn to answer.

"The Dimensional Spirit Network is an extension of the Spirit Network. For reasons that cannot be disclosed, the Spirit Network possesses many characteristics such as spatial folding, spatial isolation, and spatial tearing. Specifically, it can be understood that the Spirit Network can cut an originally complete world into countless small worlds. This kind of method is mysterious and wonderful, but it has a wide range of applications. From the world in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower to the storage box that can bear mountains and rivers, to the spatial world in the storage bag, all of them are created by cutting and folding in this way."

"The Dimensional Spirit Network can be seen as a beggar's version of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, a larger space divided by the Spirit Network. It can usually be divided into five types. One type is the Gray Mist Zone, which is used to place mortals and ordinary beasts. It is usually called the Seed Vault. No cultivators or monsters are allowed to appear here. If they do, they will be annihilated."

"One type is the black and gray fog zone, which usually refers to the area that has been breached by the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance. In this zone, one can do whatever one wants to a certain extent."

"The third type is the white spiritual mist zone, which is the area you are in now. This is the largest space, basically occupying the absolute main part of the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance. The vast majority of cultivators gather here, and they will never have the opportunity to enter the fourth type, namely the cyan spiritual mist zone, in their lifetime."

“The cyan spiritual mist area is often the cave dwelling area owned by first-grade or super first-grade cultivators. It is full of spiritual energy and is like a blessed land.”

"As for the fifth type, the golden spirit mist zone, it is just a legend."

-

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu nodded. It seemed that the application of the Spirit Network technology had actually been implemented quite some time ago. However, this particular Spirit Network was created by the immortals of the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance.

However, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance on the other side held a negative opinion, which led to the disagreement and war. Of course, other reasons cannot be ruled out.

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

"No, the reason why the escapees who broke out of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower last time were able to go to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance was because an unspeakable being personally intervened. You have already missed the best opportunity. Of course, you can also choose to set off when the Great Cold and Lesser Cold appear and the Spirit Network is cut off, but you will have to bear huge risks that you dare not even imagine."

"Even if you really want to do this, we suggest that you improve your strength to the highest level before you start, otherwise, you will only face death."

Wang Wu remained silent for a long time before finally asking a question.

Why do the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance have such a big disagreement about the Spirit Network?

"No comment!"

Wang Wu sneered; he knew this was the answer.

However, the next second, a line of information appeared, which was the answer given by the Peacock Family Information Database.

Or, it's an option.

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

Wang Wu fell silent. The Peacock Emperor often compared himself to a bird that could fly, so Wang Wu thought he was a fool. But now he realized that to be a bird that could fly, one actually needed immense courage.

Does he have the courage?
After a long, long time, dawn broke, sunlight streamed down, the sky was clear and blue, and it was a new day.

It seems wonderful, and it really is wonderful.

He carried no burdens and had no mission. Born as a human, he transmigrated into the body of a bear. He felt no sense of belonging to either the human or the demon race.

He lived a cowardly and timid life, only caring about himself.

If you call him selfish, he still has some conscience.

While he may be described as having a broad mind, he actually didn't have any grand ambitions.

Just like an ordinary person, even when given an opportunity, they remain cautious and content with whatever comes their way.

Can he fly?
"No, it's not that I want to be the bird that can fly, but that I need to make sure I can fly first. Once I'm flying, whether I'm a bird or not, whether I can fly or not, is up to me!"

Wang Wu finally provided an answer, which is also the core of his consistent spirit.

Forget about lofty ideals, he's only responsible for playing it safe. Wait until he's fully developed before you talk about whether I have lofty ideals or not.
The four clowns neither agreed nor disagreed with the answer, but it was indeed an option, so soon, four messages appeared decisively.

"Master Mu left three last words! We have decided to open our doors to you."

"The disagreement and war between the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance originated from a bet. As for what the bet was, no one knows. Those who knew are all dead."

"You are not the rule-maker; you can only struggle to survive under the rules and have no right to point fingers."

"When you think you are very strong, the truth is that you have always been so weak. Despair is the fate we are born with."

-

The big monkey was in a very good mood today, not only because the water problem that had been troubling Bear Ridge had been solved, but also because the Wood Immortal, who had been in seclusion for five years, had finally emerged from seclusion.

"Master Mu! Brother Mu, congratulations! I've been waiting for you to emerge from seclusion for ages!"

The big monkey was so excited that it almost burst into tears. It rushed up and gave Wang Wu a warm hug. Its joy was truly from the bottom of its heart.

Wang Wu, at this moment, has transformed into a gaunt old man with white hair, complementing the crooked tree behind him. However, early this morning, a small green sprout emerged from the crooked tree, which is a good omen and means that Master Mu's strength has reached a new level.

"Brother Mu, congratulations! You look great today! Our Bear Ridge is finally saved!" Old Zhou exclaimed, practically regarding Master Mu as the savior of Bear Ridge.

Jia Ding Hou was a little unconvinced, but not too much, and offered a few words of congratulations with a smile.

At this moment, the big monkey said directly, "Master Mu, I know you have just come out of seclusion and need to rest for a few days. This is not very kind of you, but the situation is really urgent. In the past five years, 187 ten-year-old trees in Bear Ridge have died, and six kinds of shrubs and vines are about to die."

"The most important thing is that 500-year-old purple-skinned yellow-flowered linden tree on Xiaobeishan Mountain. It is a treasure of our Bear Ridge. Now it has withered. We have tried everything, but there is no improvement at all. It is clear that the Wasp Immortal of Wasp Cave has urged us three or five times. He said that if it does not bloom within a month, he will cancel the transaction with our Bear Ridge."

"Purple-skinned, yellow-flowered linden?"

Wang Wu feigned surprise, his eyebrows twitching high. He didn't care what to say and vanished from his spot with a perfect, impeccable Wood Release technique. A few seconds later, he reappeared fifty miles away.

The so-called Little North Mountain of Bear Ridge is not within the grove where the spring is located. It has always been a small, isolated area, situated on a large mound of earth. There are no trees for dozens of miles around, and all the best resources are reserved for it first.

Because this 500-year-old linden tree is truly the star tree of Bear Ridge!

She's a hen that lays golden eggs!
The reason is that this is one of the important ways for Bear Ridge to obtain legitimate spiritual energy income, in addition to the spiritual energy allocation from the higher authorities.

It concerns everyone's spiritual energy subsidy, who wouldn't be anxious?

Of course, Wang Wu had also done some intensive research, and it was only with the help of the four clowns that he learned about this seemingly ordinary linden tree.

Standing before this linden tree, at least 300 meters tall with a canopy that spreads out like a small mountain, Wang Wu wore a pained expression, his beard trembling, because he was truly heartbroken.

Although the linden tree still looks lush and green, in reality, many of its branches and leaves are curled up and wilted, with only a few small yellow flowers blooming sporadically on the treetop.

What went wrong?

At this moment, Big Monkey, Old Zhou, and Jia Ding Monkey arrived one after another, all looking at him expectantly. Wang Wu unhesitatingly used his level 15 spiritual essence. This was definitely not a simple pest or disease incident, because the linden tree itself was a seventh-grade spiritual plant, guarded day and night by the spirit monkey and Old Zhou's disciples, and not even a fly could get in.

Therefore, there's definitely something fishy going on!
