eople from the Liu family don't know.Gingercloud sat beside Liu Peng, her divine sense carefully examining the brand on Liu Peng's soul. The ferocity in her eyes grew even more intense.Of course, he n..."You're awake!"

Mu Zhengjun, who had been constantly paying attention to Jiang Yun, immediately spoke up when he saw Jiang Yun open his eyes: "Are you alright"

Although she heard Mu Zhengjun's voice, Jiang Yun turned her head slightly to look at him, but she did not respond.

And under the gaze of Jiang Yun's eyes, Mu Zhengjun's body involuntarily trembled slightly.

Because, in Jiang Yun's eyes, he saw the vicissitudes of time, the boundless changes of life and death, as if at this moment, he was facing not Jiang Yun, but an elderly man who had lived for far too long.

Even, more like… the Spirit Tree! With Mu Zhengjun’s voice ringing out, Mu Luo and two other elders also descended from the sky, landing beside Jiang Yun.

Instead of rushing to see Ginger Cloud, they first turned their attention to the Spirit Tree.

The spirit tree, at least from appearances, showed no changes whatsoever, and this gave them a slight sense of relief.

If the Ling Tree sacrificed itself to help Jiang Yun achieve enlightenment in the Wood Realm, but suffered harm as a result, then they would probably find it unacceptable.

After confirming that the spirit tree was unharmed, their gazes turned to Jiang Yun, and they also saw the vicissitudes in his eyes.

Five people stood there silently, none of them speaking.

After a long while, Jiang Yun suddenly closed his eyes again.

Just when Mulo and the others were worried that Jiang Yun would continue to ponder, Jiang Yun had already opened his eyes again.

The moment he opened his eyes, the path of the emperor above his head, like wisps of smoke, flickered and vanished.

And at this moment, there was no more boundless vicissitudes in Jiang Yun's eyes, only the clarity that belonged to him.

Jiang Yun gently nodded to Mu Zhengjun and the others, then turned his gaze to Ling Shu. He kept his hand on the tree all the time, slowly rubbing the rough bark of Ling Shu before finally withdrawing it.

Next, Jiang Yun retreated a step, clasped his hands in fists, and bowed deeply to the Ling tree. In a voice only he could hear, he said, "Today, you bestow upon me the wood spirit realm. Hereafter, I shall aid you in your ascension to becoming a demon!"

The Ling tree swayed slightly, rustling like it was responding to Jiang Yun's words.

Mu Zhengjun and the others remained silent, watching Jiang Yun's every move. An involuntary look of satisfaction appeared on everyone's faces.

They could tell that Jiang Yun, like them, held a deep and sincere respect for the Spirit Tree.

After standing up straight, Jiang Yun took another deep look at Ling Shu before finally turning his gaze to Mu Zhengjun and the others. With an apologetic smile, he said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting!"

But looking at Jiang Yun, Mu Zhengjun and the others suddenly felt that they had an inexplicable sense of closeness towards Jiang Yun.

They naturally understood that this was because Ginger Cloud had gained an understanding of the Wood Spirit Realm from the Spiritual Tree.

Even, in a certain sense, ginger cloud can be seen as the incarnation of the Spirit Tree.

This change made their hearts not reject it, but rather be very happy.

Mo Luo finally revealed a genuine smile on his face, and clasped his fists toward Jiang Yun as he said, "Congratulations, Brother Dong Fang, on the birth of your Wood's Intangible Realm."

Unconsciously, he had changed the way he addressed Jiang Yun, treating him as an equal.

As for this, Ginger Cloud didn't find it strange. She smiled and said, "That also thanks the noble's generous help!"

"Here it is!"

"Milo smiled and waved his hand, saying: "This is your own opportunity. We dare not take credit for it!"

Ginger Cloud didn't beat around the bush and went on to ask, "How long have I been here"

It's been half a year already.

Molu glanced around and said, "Brother Dongfang just came out of seclusion. This isn't a place to talk. How about we go back to the Mu residence first I'll have a banquet set up, and we can eat and chat."

Mu Luo had so many questions he wanted to ask Jiang Yun, but in front of Ling Shu, he didn't dare.

Besides, he was also a little worried that if he kept letting Ginger Cloud stay here, the Spirit Tree might give him another chance encounter. So, he wanted to take Ginger Cloud away as soon as possible.

Ginger Cloud didn't refuse and said, "Alright then, I won't bother you."

Molu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. Now that we are considered family, let's go."

Thus, the five people rose into the air together and returned to their wooden house.

All the way, Mu Luo never stopped talking, constantly chatting with Jiang Yun. It was truly lively and cheerful, just like old friends who had known each other for many years.

Though eager to inquire about whether Jiang Yun could help Mu Ming reshape his body, Mu Zhengjun, who always lingered behind, couldn't find an opportunity to speak.

Soon, everyone returned to the Mu family. In the main hall where Jiang Yun had rested, a banquet was already prepared.

Five people sat down. Mulo didn't mention the spirit tree, and continued to chat idly with Jiang Yun Dong.

After three rounds of drinking, Muluo finally put down his cup and smiled, "Brother, when you were at the Ling Tree, did you communicate with it"

Ginger nodded and said, "That's right. When I put my hand on the Spirit Tree, I saw it undergoing earth-shattering changes."

And the Spirit Tree also bestowed upon me a great deal of wood power.

"Strangely enough, the power of wood from Spirit Tree and my own internal power of wood seemed to blend together like water and milk, fusing seamlessly."

Jiang Yun's words made the four members of the Mu family look at each other, feeling a little surprised.

Know that the power of the Five Elements is not merely five types of power, but countless! Because each person's environment of growth, cultivation method, and so on are all different, even the same power has countless subtle differences.

For example, the power of fire can be divided into various types such as heavenly fire, earthly fire, and lightning fire.

Different fire powers, while capable of merging, require a process of fusion, or even refinement.

Therefore, the power of wood within Ginger Cloud's body could perfectly fuse with the power of wood from the Spirit Tree. This was indeed rather strange.

Then Jiang Yun continued, "And after I merged with the power of the Spirit Tree's wood, I suddenly had a feeling that I had also become one of the Wood Clan, as if my wood power came from the Spirit Tree itself."

"As I felt this way, the Spirit Tree seemed to feel it too, and it released a vast amount of roots, wrapping me up and merging itself into my body."

As for what comes next, you'll soon find out. Within the heartwood of the Spirit Tree lies not only abundant wood power but also some… insights the tree has gained throughout its growth.

Therefore, for most of this year, I have been digesting the insights belonging to Ling Shu. By chance, the Grand Emperor's realm was born from it.

The four of them, Milo included, couldn't even begin to describe how they felt at that moment.

Envy, jealousy, and resentment! Because their Mu family has never had anyone receive the kind of treatment that Ginger Cloud enjoys. They've never tasted the essence bestowed by the Spirit Tree, let alone the profound understanding inherent to the Spirit Tree itself.

However, the Spirit Tree actually gave it to Jiang Yun, an outsider! Jiang Yun saw the expressions on Mu Luo and the others' faces, naturally understanding their feelings at this moment, but he could only pretend not to see them.

Because, I lied! Although the Ling Tree did help me to birth the Wood Realm of Sentience, it has nothing to do with the power of wood within me.

However, about the facts, Ginger Cloud couldn't tell them.

Jiang Yun then said, "By the way, everyone, about my birth of the Wooden Sentient Realm, you guys should just know."

"I hope you'll keep this a secret and not let it slip out."

"If it's leaked, I don't really care, but the Mu family, especially Ling Shu, would probably be in mortal danger!"

Ginger Cloud, this is not alarmist.

If others knew that the Ling tree could actually help people give birth to a wooden ideogram, they would definitely flock here.

By then, they really could have split the Spirit Tree.

Muro and the others naturally understood the seriousness of the situation, nodding in agreement one after another.

At this point, Mu Zhengjun could no longer hold back and blurted out, "Dongfang, can you save my life now"

Ginger Cloud smiled slightly and said, "Call Mu Ming over. Let me try again!"
