[Congratulations! You have completed the special event, Winds Rise in Azure Cloud!]
[Your family, through cunning schemes and machinations, has successfully eliminated all enemies in the Azure Cloud region. The Li family has truly become invincible within Azure Cloud, with allies everywhere.]
[Acquired 100,000 incense merit points!]
...
[Special Event - Wu Clan Invasion!]
[For many years, a branch of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has been hiding within the Azure Cloud region, their lineage passed down through generations, plotting to destroy the region. The Jun Prince's Mansion, the hidden power behind the Azure Cloud region, used your family in the 'Winds Rise in Azure Cloud' incident, attempting to eliminate all the major forces in the Azure Cloud region.]
[With Yu Xian, the former Pavilion Master of the Azure Cloud Pavilion and a member of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, sacrificing himself to disrupt their plans, the major forces in the Azure Cloud region only temporarily ceased their conflict with the Li family and made peace, giving them a chance to save themselves.]
[The Jun Prince's Mansion and the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion still have a backup plan: to lure the Wu Clan into Azure Cloud, plunging your family into a catastrophe!]
...
On the border tower, Yu Xian's life force was completely extinguished. His body fell from the tower like a withered leaf.
Until, it was swallowed by the dark shadows emerging from the Endless Forest, like countless others silently lost to history.
No one knew what Yu Xian had done for the Azure Cloud region. He had walked through the darkness, carrying a heavy burden, sacrificing his life to secure a glimmer of hope for the region.
"Sigh."
At this moment, Li Wei's view was still focused on the border tower.
Perhaps he was the only one in all of Azure Cloud region watching Yu Xian's demise. It was a pity that he couldn't truly empathize with Yu Xian.
But he understood that everyone had their own beliefs, their own things they wanted to protect.
And the Li family, what they wished to protect, was their family!
After that, Li Wei shifted his view to the vast, dark mass of Wu Clan people.
The Wu Clan were more like primitive people. They rode demonic beasts, filling the sky and the ground. They wore animal hides, just like the Li family in their early days, or like Li Tianshuang in the Swamp Forest.
Li Wei clicked on one of the Wu Clan members riding a three-headed dog-like demonic beast and obtained some basic information about them.
[Wu Clan]
[Description: They are close to nature, revere nature, and respect the power of heaven and earth.
The Endless Forest is home to two major races: the Wu Clan and the demon race. They fiercely compete for territory within the Endless Forest.
At the same time, they also have their eyes on the human race. Their vision is to reclaim the lands developed by humans and return them to their natural state as forests.]
He opened the map. The Endless Forest formed an arc, encircling the Azure Dynasty.
The human race had three dynasties, each located in a different part of the world, with little contact between them.
As for the Azure Dynasty, it was directly surrounded by the Wu Clan, the demon race, and the sea.
As far as Li Wei knew, this was also related to the changing times. In the past, the game world didn't have any dynasties. There were only immortal domains, and the various races barely survived in the face of humanity's dominance. Then, a great war occurred, and the human race fell from power.
And in ancient times, the human race was enslaved by the demon race... In even more ancient times, the demon race and the Wu Clan were enslaved by humans... In the primordial era, immortals roamed the world, and gods fell...
He continued to observe the movements of the Wu Clan.
It seemed that after entering the Azure Cloud region, they began to act separately. Many weaker members of the Wu Clan were setting up fires at the border, dancing strange dances around the bonfires and erecting totems. On the land that once belonged to humans, flowers and grass started to sprout, showing signs of transforming back into a forest.
A message on the screen interrupted Li Wei's observation.
[Your descendant Li Yaowen reports to you.]
Li Wei switched the screen. Li Yaowen was in command of Dawn; she undoubtedly knew more than what he could see on the screen.
He took a look and Li Wei was stunned.
Map - [Endless Forest, Beast Division Tribe, Beast-Loving Branch, Elder Shou Qing's Home]
"..."
The scene was within the Endless Forest. The place was lush and green, with many towering ancient trees. Various demonic beasts roamed around, and there were also many Wu Clan people dressed in animal hides, happily playing with the beasts or sharing fruit with them.
Li Yaowen was sitting in a wooden house built on an ancient tree. She had even changed into a tiger skin coat. On her table were placed an ancestral tablet and an incense burner.
Li Wei blinked rapidly.
Wait...
The Wu Clan had just invaded, and you were just talking with Yu Xian. Now you've already infiltrated the Wu Clan's territory?
Li Wei's ancestral tablet glowed, and a warm current flowed into Li Yaowen's body.
A smile instantly spread across Li Yaowen's beautiful face. She raised her head, seemingly thinking to herself with delight, "Ancestor must have seen that I've infiltrated the Wu Clan. He must be praising me."
"Ancestor."
Li Yaowen reported respectfully, "Ancestor, I have obtained intelligence from the Beast-Loving Branch. The Wu Clan has been waiting for chaos to erupt in the Azure Cloud region. They have long been preparing for war."
"The Wu Clan is even more powerful than the Azure Dynasty," she continued. "Within the Endless Forest, they rival the demon race in strength."
"They have twelve major Wu tribes, and each major tribe has further divisions and smaller tribes within it."
"Those who have come to our Azure Cloud region are three divisions belonging to the Heavenly Wood Wu Tribe: the Ghost Division, the Beast Division, and the Spirit Jade Division."
As she spoke...
Li Yaowen's expression grew serious. "Ancestor," she reported, "according to my knowledge, within the Beast-Loving Branch, one of the four major branches of the Beast Division, there is already one Nascent Soul cultivator. Such individuals are also known as priests."
"..."
As Li Wei listened to the information, his expression also turned grave. Just these three divisions were already comparable in strength to the Azure Cloud region at its peak.
And... it seemed that the Beast Division was the weakest among those three divisions.
