Chapter 457: Reshaping the ※34⛬

Several months later.

A piece of news suddenly arrived.

"The Eastern Region is in chaos?" Wang Mu raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Di Bailian in the Communication Talisman, and asked, "What happened? Tell me slowly."

Di Bailian looked anxious and quickly explained the whole story.

In the Eastern Region, although the Emperor Yao Palace was the Dominator, it could not command everything.

Outside the Emperor Yao Palace's territory,

there were still some ancient races surviving, some even older than the Emperor Yao Palace itself.

The Four Gods Valley was one of them.

The so-called Four Gods were precisely the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, the four great Divine Beasts. In ancient times, these four races were the Supreme of the Yao Race, commanding everything.

It was only after their decline that the Yao Race fell under the rule of the Emperor Yao Palace.

For so many years,

the Four Gods Valley had been living in seclusion, staying out of worldly affairs and recuperating.

Especially after Di Wuming attained the Quasi-Emperor Dao, the Four Gods Valley became even quieter, with no news for a long time.

But, just recently,

a Quasi-Emperor aura appeared in the Four Gods Valley.

A strong Azure Dragon Clan expert unexpectedly broke through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and then, leading the experts of the four races, launched a grand attack on the territories ruled by the Emperor Yao Palace.

The Eastern Region was now in complete chaos.

War raged everywhere.

Even the many strongholds established by the Langya Merchant Guild there were affected.

Wang Mu listened quietly and said, "Is it related to the Saint Advent Society?"

Di Bailian nodded, saying, "There are indeed signs of contact with the Saint Advent Society."

They knew that the North Sea was now a tough nut to crack, so they targeted the North Sea's allies.

To drag the Emperor Yao Palace into the war.

To prevent them from wantonly reinforcing the North Sea.

If Wang Mu were to go to support the Eastern Region, they would be able to make a big move against the North Sea.

Frankly speaking,

this move had no decisive effect; it was purely meant to be annoying.

Even if Wang Mu didn't help,

the Four Gods Valley couldn't destroy the Emperor Yao Palace; it would merely tie up their energy.

Wang Mu pondered for a moment and asked, "Before, I asked your father to help investigate the whereabouts of the Dragon-Phoenix Essence. Is it also related to the Four Gods Valley?"

Di Bailian nodded and said, "The Dragon-Phoenix is an ancient Sacred Beast, a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix, and can be called the most noble Bloodline of the Yao Race! We found that over the years, the Azure Dragon Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan have been trying to revert their Bloodline to its ancestral form, to reproduce the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline, and have made some progress!"

Wang Mu said, "The Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird are merely collateral descendants of the Dragon and Phoenix races. The possibility of reproducing the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline is minuscule. They must have obtained something extraordinary!"

Di Bailian nodded, saying, "Indeed, my father and the others think the same."

Wang Mu nodded and said, "It seems it's destined for the descendants of the Four Gods to be cut off here!"

Di Bailian understood his unspoken meaning and was somewhat surprised: "Are you coming over? Then, what if the Saint Advent Society ambushes the North Sea while you're away?"

Wang Mu smiled faintly, saying nothing.

The next moment,

a figure identical to him walked out from his body… Grandmist One Qi Art!

This ancient Divine Ability, obtained by Shi Huang in the Heavenly Ruins remains, was also the famous technique of a past Great Emperor.

It could condense two Clones, each possessing seventy percent of the main body's strength.

Instantly creating a situation of multiple against one.

Overbearing and powerful!

Just a Quasi-Emperor who barely broke through, probably forcefully impacting the Realm with special secret methods. A single Clone was enough to deal with it… Seven days later.

A single Clone was enough to deal with it… Seven days later.

Eastern Region.

Four Gods Valley.

The area was covered in ruins, with the fallen descendants of the Azure Dragon Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan, and other Four Gods races everywhere.

On the surrounding desolate mountains, the banners of the Emperor Yao Palace were planted, and countless great Yao belonging to the Emperor Yao Palace let out excited shouts, shaking the heavens.

Above an unfathomably deep black abyss.

Two figures stood in the Void Realm.

"Little friend Wang Mu, thankfully you were here this time… otherwise, to take down this Four Gods Valley with just the strength of my Emperor Yao Palace alone, who knows how much time it would have taken!"

Di Wuming looked at Wang Mu and cupped his hands, saying.

Wang Mu smiled, "Between you and me, there's no need for such words. Besides, I'm not entirely doing this to help you!"

Upon hearing this, Di Wuming immediately reacted, "My daughter told me everything. My people have already found that secret place. Come with me!"

"Alright."

A moment later.

They appeared beneath an abyss, a full thirty thousand feet from the surface.

Here, it was sunless but not dark.

A stone pool, flowing with red and blue divine light, existed quietly.

Within the stone pool,

faint ancient roars emanated, exuding oppressive might.

"In this small stone pool, who knows how many corpses of the Four Gods race have been submerged!" Wang Mu murmured, recognizing at a glance that this was a burial ground.

It contained the Physical Bodies and essence blood of countless members of the four races.

It was hard to imagine how many years of accumulation this represented.

"However, merely using this method to revert the Bloodline to its ancestral form and revive the glory of the ancient Dragon-Phoenix is absolutely impossible! There must be another secret beneath this!"

Wang Mu muttered to himself, closing his eyes slightly. His vast Divine Soul power surged out, sweeping through the entire pool.

Soon, the corners of his mouth lifted, "Found it!"

He reached out, his palm disappearing into the Void Realm, the other end of which was unknown.

The next moment,

he withdrew his hand, and a heart emitting purple immortal light quietly appeared. It was covered in natural runes, shining brightly. Despite countless years, it still seemed alive, brimming with vitality.

"Is this the Heart of the Dragon-Phoenix?" Di Wuming was also quite shocked. "That doesn't make sense. Since they possessed such a divine object, even if they couldn't reproduce the true body of the Dragon-Phoenix, they should at least be able to greatly strengthen their Bloodline, not just have such a small effect!"

Wang Mu mused, "This heart is extraordinary; ordinary methods cannot refine it at all. It's likely that the Four Gods Valley didn't obtain it long ago! They haven't figured out anything significant!"

In fact, he strongly suspected that this heart came from the Saint Advent Society.

After all, if such a divine object had been in the Eastern Region all these years, it would have been impossible for there to be no news of it.

In any case, with this Dragon-Phoenix heart, there would be no problem completing Xiao Wanmeng's Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline; in fact… it could even reach a higher level.

"With the item in hand, I must go!"

"So soon? What about the old Dragon's corpse?" Di Wuming asked.

"The corpse of a Quasi-Emperor Azure Dragon is a great tonic! You and I will take half each, and bring it back to nourish everyone!"

"Hahaha, good!"

"…"

…The Eastern Region matter concluded.

Wang Mu's Clone returned to the North Sea.

He ordered someone to dissect half of the Azure Dragon's corpse and prepare a Full Dragon Feast.

Wang Tianba, Luo Xuanshuang, Lin Yan, and others, including loyal forces like Li Yuanhua, all received a share of the meat.

The corpse of a Quasi-Emperor.

It was all essence.

On the spot, some couldn't control themselves and broke through their Realm, their strength soaring.

Especially Li Yuanhua, who received more meat than other affiliated strong cultivators, a full ten catties. After eating, he directly reached the Soul Transformation Peak Realm, ready to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation at any time.

And after the banquet ended,

Wang Mu ordered the remaining Dragon corpse to be boiled into Dragon soup and distributed it outside, sharing the joy with the people, with everyone getting a share.

As for himself,

he took Xiao Wanmeng's hand and went into a secret room.

"Sister Wanmeng… please remove your clothes!"

Looking at the charming woman before him, Wang Mu slowly said, "The Dragon-Phoenix Heart is the most Yang treasure in the world. Later… it might get a little hot!"

Upon hearing this,

Xiao Wanmeng didn't hesitate at all. She reached out to untie her belt and, with a wave of her hand,

all her clothes slipped off.

The full splendor of her body was before his eyes.

She looked at Wang Mu with affectionate eyes and said, "Come, big brother, I'm ready."
