CHAPTER 1148: CHAPTER 338: AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE (3/5)

[Ultimately, today’s Shenjing is entirely unreasonable, it’s complete chaos.]

At this point, Gu Yunzhi made a conclusion: [An Jing is like a great roc soaring through the nine heavens, she should not put herself in danger.]

Gu Yeqi bowed her head, contemplating for a long time, but eventually spoke: "But the Bright Mirror Sect must send someone."

"The secrets of the Immortal Fall of the Shangxuan Sect have been exposed. No matter how deceitful everyone is, they absolutely cannot tolerate the affairs of the Shangxuan Sect, and as the victims, we of the Bright Mirror Sect must come forth and speak."

[Yes, internally, the court certainly wants to ally with the Bright Mirror Sect, but they may not necessarily want An Jing to go.]

Gu Yunzhi calmly said: [If An Jing truly goes to Shenjing, the power of the Haotian Mirror will inevitably follow, but if only a Pure Yang goes, then it’s just Pure Yang— the weight of a Heavenly Mandate is just too heavy, hard to wield, hard to influence, and for An Jing, going to Shenjing is too dangerous.]

[So, accept the edict, politely refuse, the Little Emperor has no majesty or authority to punish you, just needs a step down.]

"Yes."

Gu Yeqi lowered her gaze and softly said: "If everything in this world followed common sense, this would definitely be the most reasonable choice... but Grandpa."

She smiled: "Do you think he will?"

Gu Yunzhi was silent for a moment, then also smiled: [Alright, if you don’t defy common sense, you will ultimately be ordinary... Since there’s such talk, Yeqi, you really like this Bright Mirror Sect, calling it ours, back in Da Chen it wasn’t like this.]

"Nothing extraordinary about it."

Gu Yeqi did not feel sentimental: "In Da Chen, I was just an ordinary commoner on the border, but in the Bright Mirror Sect, I am a True Transmission of one peak... My parents have passed, there are people I care about in the Bright Mirror Sect, this is my home."

[Do you have any plans?]

Gu Yunzhi raised an eyebrow, the old man stroked his beard, speaking with interest: [Taking advantage of proximity, I see that no one surrounds An Jing...]

"Old man, just say what you mean, if you want me to hold onto the Eldest Senior, why beat around the bush?"

Gu Yeqi chuckled, shaking her head with a sigh, yet her tone was firm: "Not to mention if I’m worthy, saying there’s no affection, how could that be possible? Eldest Senior is so outstanding, who wouldn’t admire him? Not to mention me, among the Children of Calamity, the young generation of the Bright Mirror Sect, there are many who long for him."

"But what others can’t see, how could I possibly not see? This world is corrupted as such, the Eldest Senior was born to cleanse the universe and recreate humanity, as his Companion Star, I naturally have to follow him to accomplish great things!"

[Good willpower]

Gu Yunzhi was not embarrassed, after a jest he spoke solemnly: [Recently, the population of Dust Li has plunged, on the court’s side, the risk and value have dropped to extremely low, but precisely because of this, you should be wary of the Heavenly Demon.]

[As the living decline, the dead flourish, nowadays the Heavenly Demons ravage in the Youli Sea, be wary of their movement.]

"I understand."

Gu Yeqi nodded, then shook her head: "As for the population...it is like this now, but not necessarily in the future."

"If the Heavenly Demons want to come, they must do so quickly, otherwise..."

Reality.

Gu Yeqi turned her head and looked behind her.

Around the Bright Mirror Sect, the land that had turned into scorched earth due to the Nirvana Tribulation now lay covered in lush greenery, the slightly undulating earth extended endlessly in the sunlight, the moist wind covered the grassland under the control of the Martial Artists, and a large number of just-sprouted green plants were absorbing the Jade Dew to grow robustly.

And around Mingguang Peak, a relatively tall verdant forest stood within the clouds and mist, faintly visible, surrounded by the nine peaks of the Bright Mirror Sect, Feathered Martial Artists with Evergreen Wood bodies were diligently planting and clearing.

It wasn’t just here.

Across the entire Chenli Land, all the surviving Dust Li tribes and cities were now beginning to rebuild the ecosystem under the guidance of the Bright Mirror Sect.

The Evergreen Wood tree seeds were not plentiful, but to build a foundational ecosystem that could allow the Evergreen Wood to grow and spread faster.

And not just in Chenli.

In the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range.

A mountain woman with lush green hair sat sideways on the immense Six-Tusked White Boar, and one Dang Kang after another plowed the mountains like oxen, leaving behind green lushness wherever they went.

Since An Jing’s orders were issued, the area around the entire Heavenly Sword Mountain Range began a grand reforestation campaign, everyone thought it was Weng Cuiyu’s doing, but in reality, it was all An Jing’s instructions.

Regarding this, Weng Cuiyu and Snow Climbing Tooth naturally had no objections, in fact, they were quite happy to see the success: these two, either belonging to the Divine Wood, or growing by relying on the Divine Wood, knew that the Evergreen Wood contained the pure bloodline of an Ancient Divine Wood.

If they could obtain it, if they could unravel the power of that Ancient Divine Wood, even the Realm of the Manifested Saint True Monarch wouldn’t be out of reach!

Precisely in recent years, the Frost Calamity ruined most of the original ecosystem, and the Sweet Dew that descended after the Frost Calamity’s end accelerated the growth and recovery of all life, the growth of the Evergreen Wood received this heavenly gift, sprouting and budding in just a few short months.

As for the surrounding populace, places with Evergreen Wood saw fewer pests, and it naturally brought Wood Spirit Qi, enhancing the vitality of surrounding vegetation, though pulling weeds might be more troublesome, the crops grew more beautifully.

Not to mention, surrounding the Spirit Land and Spirit Plant, a huge industrial chain could be established, now there are rumors saying that the Mountain Master will return with related technology for construction, by then, even the most ordinary local children, as long as they learn the relevant technology, can find a good job.

With such enthusiasm, and under the professional guidance of two Wood Attribute Demon Spirit experts, Weng Cuiyu and Snow Climbing Tooth, the cultivation of Spirit Fields around the Heavenly Sword Mountain is extremely successful.

Inside Heavenly Sword City.

Bai Qinghan was handing over supplies to Madam An and Shen Mubai.

"Qinghan, ah, this is too much... The court has already given a lot for Heavenly Sword Mountain, you over there... it’s unnecessary."

With Xu Tai managing, Weng Cuiyu, Snow Climbing Tooth, and others caring, plus the Virtuous King’s subordinates coming to help, Shen Mubai could actually live the life of a leisurely wealthy wife, but clearly, as An Jing’s mother, she is not someone who can idle, at least managing logistics and material preparations are completely within her capability.

Bai Qinghan would often send a batch of supplies, she knew.

But recently, Bai Qinghan sent way too many.

It’s essential to distinguish primary and secondary, having accepted so many supplies from Bai Qinghan’s side and gained so many people from another party, even if Shen Mubai believes in Bai Qinghan no matter how much, no matter how optimistic she is about her son’s former junior sister, she can’t help but worry.
