Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Clan Treasure Recognizes Its Master
"What is it?" The voice in the black and gold robe was deep.
"My Dark Abyss Black Water... seems to have been..." The Second Prince hesitated.
"Speak."
"Purified."
After the words fell.
The person in the black and gold robe opened his eyes, and a cold light seemed to shoot out instantly.
The Second Prince’s back suddenly turned cold with fear.
"Take out the Dark Abyss Pearl so I can see it."
"...Yes."
The Second Prince nervously took out the white bead.
Seeing the bead, the person’s eyes in the black and gold robe instantly condensed with light.
"Master, can the Dark Abyss Black Water be purified?" The Second Prince asked apprehensively.
"No." The person in the black and gold robe withdrew the cold light from his eyes, his voice returning to a deep tone: "Go and find out the truth."
"...Yes." The Second Prince bowed and retreated, his back already wet with cold sweat.
Once he exited the chamber, a strange smile appeared on the face of the person in the black and gold robe.
"It seems the millennium change is about to begin."
"Purify the Dark Abyss Black Water?"
"Haha, even the Dark Abyss Black Water from the First-class Spiritual Treasure, the Dark Abyss Black Pool, can be purified. The Spiritual Treasure appearing this time is no ordinary one."
"Considering the timing, it coincides perfectly with the millennium change of ten thousand years..."
"If I can obtain a First-class Spiritual Treasure, my effort of spending countless treasures to cross from Cangqian Middle Continent to the Ancient Profound Western Continent wouldn’t be in vain."
"..."
...
Returning to the Mieqin River Bay Camp, underground in the tree prison.
Chu Ming used Qi Rhythm White Light to dispel the corrosive air, rescuing Feeng Zhi and the Wind Spirit Clan Tree.
Just as Feeng Zhi and Feeng Yi were expressing their gratitude, anomalies arose again.
The Wind Spirit Clan Tree, shedding its black aura, revealed a spark of vitality, and unexpectedly, a green light flew out from its trunk.
The green light merged with the Qi Rhythm White Light, and then instantly blended into the Qi Rhythm White Light.
Afterward, Chu Ming felt a gesture of goodwill from the Wind Spirit Clan Tree.
"The Clan Tree recognizes a master?!"
Feeng Zhi and Feeng Yi’s facial expressions changed drastically.
The green light was the spirit of the Wind Spirit Clan Tree, which in history could only be summoned by the Wind Spirit Clan Leader during times of crisis for the clan.
At this moment, the two could not see the white light; they only saw the tree spirit flying out from the clan tree, hovering in front of the black-clad youth, then entering his body.
The entry of the tree spirit signifies recognition of a master!
The Clan Tree granting recognition only happened once in the Wind Spirit Clan’s lineage.
In the past, the Wind Spirit Clan was not just a tribe but a nation; back then, the clan tree was not a mere sapling like now but a towering ancient tree.
The first leader of the Wind Spirit Country was acknowledged by the Wind Spirit Azure Ancient Tree, recognized the ancient tree, and established the Wind Spirit Country.
This scene, recorded in history, was happening before their eyes!
Feeng Zhi and Feeng Yi stood dumbfounded.
Not only did they see the tree spirit on a half-grown clan tree, but they were witnessing history.
The Wind Spirit Clan Tree recognized a master, and it was voluntarily!
"Cl... Clan Leader."
After a brief moment of shock, Feeng Zhi suddenly knelt in reverence.
This time, he knelt with gratitude, admiration, and the intent of legacy from the Wind Spirit Clan.
Feeng Yi’s actions were slower, a sound of ’Clan Leader’ woke him up.
Clan Leader?
How many years has it been since our Wind Spirit Clan had a Clan Leader?
Thud!
Feeng Yi knelt, visibly respectful: "Greetings, Clan Leader."
Clan Leader?
Chu Ming looked at the two kneeling Wind Spirit Clan members before him, his thoughts paused.
Just moments ago, he had sensed a faint vitality within the Wind Spirit Clan Tree, with remnants of corrosive air on its surface, prompting him to try purifying with Qi Rhythm White Light.
Unexpectedly, the Qi Rhythm White Light purified the corrosion within, and the faint vitality followed the white light, merging into it...
"The tree spirit recognizes a master, the senior is now the Clan Leader of our Wind Spirit Clan!"
Feeng Zhi sensed Chu Ming’s confusion and quickly explained.
Though he did not understand why the clan tree would recognize an outsider instead of a clan member, he knew the clan tree doesn’t make mistakes.
"Tree spirit recognition?"
Chu Ming glanced at the sapling, clearly feeling an affectionate sentiment being conveyed from it.
Qi Rhythm White Light blending with the tree spirit...
So, it really made him the Wind Spirit Clan Leader?
"Stand up."
Chu Ming flicked his finger, releasing two medicine pills to heal their injuries.
"Thank you, Clan Leader." Both remained exceedingly respectful.
After swallowing the healing medicine, Feeng Zhi, holding the clan tree in both hands, showed no smile on his deep-lined face, only admiration.
"Clan Leader, the Wolf Race tracked Elder Feeng Yao, intending to destroy our Wind Spirit Clan. We beseech the Clan Leader to rescue our Wind Spirit Clan from peril!"
"Please, Clan Leader, take action!"
The two from the Wind Spirit Clan, just having restored their bodies, immediately knelt again.
They knew this matter here was concluded, but their clan land was about to face a catastrophe.
"Okay, let’s go."
What needed to be killed was killed; what needed to be taken was taken. There was no need to stay.
Chu Ming led the two to the river bay dock.
Corpses were scattered everywhere, either decapitated or exhibiting claw marks, flesh and blood blurred.
"Choose a small boat."
A small boat is easier to maneuver, can increase speed.
"Yes."
The three boarded a small boat, sailed out of the river bay, entered the White River, and proceeded southwest.
"Clan Leader, our clan lands are located at the southwestern junction between Xirong County and Peace and Middle County, in the Wind Spirit Water Valley, at a distance of seven hundred and fifty miles from here."
"Wind Spirit Water Valley?" Chu Ming was familiar with the territories within the Great Qin Dynasty, yet he had never heard of Wind Spirit Water Valley.
"Wind Spirit Water Valley was originally called Central West Valley." Feeng Zhi continued.
Central West Valley...
Chu Ming envisioned the map of the southeastern border of Xirong County.
Central West Valley is an inland water valley akin to Mieqin River Bay, one side is the turbulent White River; the other side is towering forests and continuous mountain ranges.
On the White River, gale winds are frequent; within the mountains, there are terrifying miasmas and exotic beasts.
Geographically, it is a place rarely visited by humans.
The Wind Spirit Clan hiding there is indeed safe.
Chu Ming lightly waved his sleeve, taking out two porcelain bottles, each containing around ten drops of Azure Ancient Juice.
