"I was just about to make my move, but your Formation Spirit interrupted me. Otherwise, dealing with that jerk would have been a piece of cake. It's not like he's one of those tougher guys from the other clans."
Jiang Fann replied, "Stop bragging, you old eel. Next time an Ancient God Clan member shows up, you can take the lead."
"Of course, no problem. But I didn't expect that in the short time you were away, you'd bring back such a powerful expert. Who's that woman? You managed to subdue someone at the peak of the Reincarnation Realm. You've got some serious skills."
"Don't forget, if I could tame you back then, I can certainly handle others now. But you've barely improved lately. Have you been slacking off?"
At this, Old Dragon grumbled, "Slacking off? How could I? The world's restrictions make it nearly impossible to train. I've only managed to stabilize my body and dragon soul. Any improvement at all shows how hard I've been working."
Jiang Fann said, "Maybe soon, the level of our world will rise, and you'll be able to advance your skills too."
"You might as well take me out with you. If I trained alongside you, I might be even stronger than that woman by now."
Jiang Fann mocked, "Keep dreaming. Compared to her, your bloodline and talent fall way short."
Old Dragon was clearly not convinced, and just then, Xiao Mo appeared, walking up from the base of the mountain.
Old Dragon seemed quite wary of her, watching in silence. Xiao Mo glanced at Old Dragon, a bit surprised. "Oh? There's actually a cultivator hiding here, with a hint of the vast world about him. Is he here to cause trouble? Should we cook him up? He looks like he'd be quite nourishing!"
Without a word, Old Dragon turned and vanished behind the towering divine tree, hiding away. Once a formidable presence in the dragon realm, even Old Dragon had to admit defeat when faced with true masters.
"He's with me, so don't scare him off. How are things on your end?"
Xiao Mo nodded. "Everything went smoothly. I managed to seal the spatial rift, but that guy killed a few human cultivators after entering the wasteland. I helped retrieve their souls, and they're barely hanging on. Do you want to save them?"
At that moment, the voice of the divine tree resonated. "Now that they're here, there's no need for Fann to intervene. I can heal them. Their injuries are severe, but as long as their bodies can be restored, it's not an issue for me."
Xiao Mo finally took a good look at the divine tree before her. Jiang Fann also carried a natural aura, clearly originating from this place.
"Master, the aura of this divine wood embodies the ultimate power. Only a life form like the Wood Spirit can exist in such a state. Most other ultimate powers can't form a physical body to become a cultivator. However, in a world of this level, having such a unique life form is already astonishing."
Xiao Mo is definitely a well-traveled cultivator. If the Heaven Supporting Divine Wood were placed in other great worlds, it would have long become a top expert. This being, inherently possessing ultimate power, has a bloodline strength comparable to divine blood. Yet, under the laws of nature, her power can't be fully unleashed. The stronger the natural order, the stronger she becomes.
In the vast world, within the territory of the Green Bat Clan.
Seeing the Giant Strength Clan cultivator emerge from the rift, several Green Bat Clan healers treating their ancestor showed a hint of surprise.
They clearly didn't expect this guy to return after just half a day, looking shaken.
At this moment, the Giant Strength Clan cultivator was seething with anger. He hadn't anticipated that his first action after awakening would nearly cost him his life. He was humiliated and had to beg for mercy to be allowed to return. All of this was due to the completely wrong information given by the group in front of him.
"You deliberately fed me false information. Didn't expect me to make it back, did you?"
The Green Bat Clan cultivators were utterly shocked upon hearing this.
"Sir, we don't understand what you mean."
The cultivator from the Mighty Force Clan looked at them with a murderous gaze.
"Don't understand? That's a good one. All your information about the Nine Desolations is wrong. Except for the suppression by the natural order over there, nothing else is accurate."
One of them quickly responded, "Sir, the details about the Nine Desolations are well-known across the world. It's not just our clan that has ventured there. If you don't believe us, you can ask other clans' cultivators. We're telling the truth, or why else would we stay here waiting for you to return?"
"The truth? You didn't mention there are powerful cultivators at the peak of the Reincarnation Realm in the Nine Desolations, and more than one. I almost lost my life there. And that guy named Jiang Fann, even several Reincarnation Realm cultivators follow his orders. What did you tell me back then?"
The cultivators from the Green Bat Clan heard this and didn't know how to explain, as they were also unaware of the current situation in the Nine Desolations.
"Sir, we've told you everything we know. If you really don't believe us, you might as well just finish us off. We have no other way to explain."
Although the Mighty Force Clan cultivator wanted to kill them, it wasn't the right time. He remembered the promise he made to Little Mo and couldn't be sure when they might show up. If they really came looking for him, it would be trouble.
Despite being reluctant to help, there was no choice but to grit his teeth and swallow his pride.
"Fine, I don't want to argue about this. Just gather your people here immediately; I have instructions for you."
One of them replied, "Sir, just tell us directly. We'll pass the orders to our people and ensure they carry them out quickly."
The cultivator clearly didn't want to waste time and aimed to resolve the matter swiftly.
He got straight to the point: "Spread the word—Jiang Fann has issued a warning. The Ancient God Clan is forbidden from entering the Nine Desolations. There are several peak-level masters stationed there, and anyone who attempts to go should be prepared to leave their life behind."
Hearing this, the group of bat clan cultivators seemed to understand what this Ancient God Clan expert had encountered in the Nine Desolations.
One of them asked, "Sir, is Jiang Fann provoking the Ancient God Clan from the Great Thousand World?"
The powerful cultivator responded coldly, "Do you think I'm joking?"
His eyes flashed with menace, and if they continued to waste time, he might take action.
The bat clan cultivators left one behind to tend to their ancestor's injuries, while the others hurried to instruct their people to spread the message quickly.
The bat clan, once a significant royal clan, had bases in various locations, ensuring the message would be swiftly relayed across the Great Thousand World.
The formidable warrior stood still, murmuring to himself, "I've fulfilled my promise to them, right? But no, I still need to alert the others in our clan. They must not set their sights on the Nine Wildernesses."
Within a few hours, many clans connected with the Green Bat Clan received the news, which was nothing short of explosive for the vast world.
The message was brought back by a master of the Ancient God Clan, who had reached the pinnacle of reincarnation. The Ancient God Clans were taken aback; after their revival, they were soon challenged by a cultivator from the Nine Wildernesses.
At the Mountain of Gods, inside the grand hall, a clan member approached.
"Chief, we've just received news from the Mighty Strength Clan."
"The Mighty Strength Clan? Didn't they just awaken recently too? We rarely interact with them. What news do they have for us?"
The clan member replied gravely, "It seems one of them went to the Nine Wildernesses and was sent back, bringing a message about someone named Jiang Fann."
Hearing the name Jiang Fann, the chief was startled and quickly asked, "What exactly happened?"
The clan member then relayed the message from the Green Bat Clan to the chief, who frowned slightly after hearing it.
"A master at the pinnacle of reincarnation? How could the Nine Wildernesses have such a powerful cultivator? If there truly were someone like that, why have they been invaded so many times?"
"I'm not sure about that. This message wasn't sent solely to our clan. The Mighty Strength Clan urged the Green Bat Clan to spread it quickly. It seems they suffered a significant setback over there. But who exactly is this Jiang Fann to be so bold? It's practically a provocation to all clans, utterly audacious."
The clan leader calmly said, "Having an ally at the peak of the reincarnation stage certainly gives you the right to be arrogant. However, we need to investigate this matter thoroughly. We've asked many cultivators about the situation in the Nine Desolations, and none mentioned any hidden masters there. The strongest they reported was only at the half-step reincarnation stage. Could it be that changes are happening in the Nine Desolations?"
At that moment, the elder walked in from outside. "Clan leader, did you receive the message from the Blue Bat Clan?"
The elder seemed a bit anxious, as this concerned whether he could reclaim his spiritual body. They hadn't expected that before they could trouble Jiang Fann, he would make the first move, though not targeting their clan specifically.
"We should pause the plan we set earlier," the clan leader continued. "Let's wait until we have more clarity on the situation before taking action. Otherwise, we might suffer losses in the Nine Desolations."
Hearing this, the elder replied directly, "In the Nine Desolations, no one can fully unleash their powers. Even if there are a few at the peak of the reincarnation stage, so what? I can always find more help. I refuse to believe we can't handle a small sect. With Jiang Fann being so arrogant, surely someone will accept my proposal."
The clan leader frowned, "I'm worried it's not just Jiang Fann who has powerful protection. If changes are indeed happening in the Nine Desolations and the greater world is advancing, many masters will start appearing. The greater world and the Nine Desolations used to stay out of each other's affairs. If things get too chaotic, it will be hard for us to clean up the mess. We can wait for other clans to make a move first and assess the situation. If it's all just a bluff, we can act later. I refuse to believe Jiang Fann can escape the Nine Desolations."
The cultivators from the Purple Jade Eagle clan arrived at the Mountain of Gods. They had previously decided to act together, and it was clear they had received news from the Green Bat clan on their way. The leading expert of the Purple Jade Eagles had reached the eighth level of the Reincarnation Realm, accompanied by two clan members at the third level, whom he had specifically brought along for this journey.
