Chu Xuan looked at the dazed Xiang Xing and said, “Cultivate well. The Divine realm is not the end of the road.”

“Yes, Master!”

Xiang Xing returned to the pocket dimension full of fighting spirit.

Chu Xuan pondered when he would let Xiang Xing return to the Southern Zone’s Eastern Region.

Perhaps after the Asura Ancient Land opened.

A son of fate could not stay sheltered forever. He had to go out and adventure.

Ding Yue and Wang Luo had not triggered any system rewards for a while.

Was it because they had not messed around enough?

Or was it because the conditions for triggering a reward had increased now that he had broken through to the Dao realm?

Chu Yun and Su Xian’er returned.

Chu Xuan casually waved his hand, and another time scale bracelet was completed. He gave it to Chu Yun.

“Thank you, Thirteenth Brother!”

Chu Yun put on the bracelet and was elated. She now knew that the things that Chu Xuan had given her were not ordinary.

This bracelet was snow-white and had fine lines and patterns. There seemed to be nothing special about it.

However, it was precisely because of this that she knew that it was extraordinary.

Chu Yun stayed in the courtyard for a while before returning to the ancestral residence to give pointers to the Chu family’s pill refinement team.

In the Chu family, Chu Yun was practically the main family decision-maker. No one would go against her words.

Even Chu Tianming heeded her words, as he spoiled this precious granddaughter of his.

It had been a long time since Chu Xuan had heard Chu Tianming’s roar. It seemed that the development of the Chu family was going very smoothly, and there was nothing bothering him.

Chu Xuan thought for a moment and decided not to anger old man Chu Tianming. He did not really want to make this grandfather of his explode with anger.

It had been half a month since Chu Pingfan left for the Eastern Region.

As Chu Xuan was curious, he took out the Heaven-spying Mirror as he wanted to see how far Chu Pingfan had traveled in his journey to the Eastern Region.

The system’s reward suddenly came out of nowhere.

“Your disciple Ding Yue entered the secret realm of the Earth Spirits by mistake and was crowned the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits. His fate transformed. You have been rewarded with the Earth Creation Scripture!”

Chu Xuan was stunned. Ding Yue had triggered the system’s reward?

He had entered the secret realm of the Earth Spirits by mistake?

The Earth Spirit race was an unfamiliar race. Chu Xuan had never heard of them before.

Moreover, Ding Yue was crowned as the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits?

He was not in a hurry to receive the reward.

He immediately activated the Heaven-spying Mirror and connected it to Ding Yue.

The image projection appeared.

Amidst the myriad colors around him, Ding Yue wore a snow-white hat on his head and held a treasured sword in his hand.

The spirit of the earth vein was seated on his shoulder.

At this moment, he was sitting on a chair, which was formed from ancient vines and flowers.

Fresh flowers surrounded Ding Yue.

Every flower was a spirit herb, and the weakest one was at the spirit-grade.

Below Ding Yue stood a few dozen people.

Chu Xuan discovered that the ears of these people were different from those of the human race, and their bodies were smaller. There were actually flowers growing on their heads.

At the end of every braid of hair on their heads was a blooming flower. Each flower’s color was different.

Chu Xuan could even sense the aura of nature from these people.

This was the Earth Spirit race?

Were they some kind of plant born in human form?

Chu Xuan was very curious as to how Ding Yue became the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits.

Ding Yue looked at the Earth Spirits below and inwardly felt very helpless. All he had done was secretly eat a few fruits.

Moreover, he triggered some strange phenomena. How did he become the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits?

It was all the spirit of the earth vein’s fault for bringing him to this place and even encouraging him to steal food!

The spirit of the earth vein was seated on Ding Yue’s shoulder. It felt maligned.

It was clearly its master who was greedy, yet it had somehow been made to take the blame.

Ding Yue did not know what the Earth Spirit race was.

At the very least, they were people that he could not afford to offend at the moment.

The Holy Child of the Earth Spirits, huh…

At least for now, such a title was beneficial and harmless.

He was also revered by the Earth Spirit race!

Although the Earth Spirits were few in number, their strength was not weak.

There was one Divine realm elder, five Heaven realm experts, and the rest of the Earth Spirits were in the Supreme realm or the Emperor realm.

There was no one among them that had not reached the Emperor realm.

They were a very powerful force.

“Elder, does the Earth Spirit race have a Sword Dao inheritance?”

The elder of the Earth Spirit race, who was leaning on his cane, nodded and said, “Yes, yes. Our Earth Spirit race once had a Sword Dao genius ancestor who left the Earth Spirit Sword Dao behind.”

Ding Yue was overjoyed when he heard this. “Quickly bring me there.”

“Holy Child, please follow me.”

The elder brought Ding Yue with him as he walked toward the place.

Ding Yue followed behind the elder and looked around. There were spirit herbs all over the ground, and there were countless spirit fruits that tasted sweet.

What a treasured land!

Before he left, he had to take some of these with him.

After he returned, Wang Luo would no longer have to worry about his supply of spirit herbs to refine pills.

Ding Yue was thinking about what excuse he could use to leave, as well as what excuse he could use to take some of the stuff here with him.

The Earth Spirit race was too powerful. If he were to brazenly try and steal their treasures, it would probably end badly.

He was not sure if his newfound identity as the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits would ensure his safety

Ding Yue had always felt that the process of him being recognized as the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits was a bit of a joke.

He was a human.

How did he become the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits?

Moreover, they even said that it was ordained by the ancestor of the Earth Spirits.

Ding Yue suspected that there was a conspiracy.

He followed the elder and arrived in front of a towering ancient tree.

Ding Yue looked up and saw an ancient tree that was tens of thousands of feet tall. On it hung fruits the size of a human head.

They emitted a faint fluorescent light.

Gulp!

Ding Yue felt a little greedy.

Ever since he had eaten the spirit fruits here, he had been obsessed with spirit fruits.

The fruits on such an ancient tree must be of a very high level. They had to be very delicious!

He wondered if he, as the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits, would be allowed to eat one or two of those?

The spirit of the earth vein was also swallowing its saliva.

“Holy Child, that is the Earth Spirit Sword Dao.”

The elder stopped in front of something.

Ding Yue came back to his senses and looked over. There was a statue standing beneath the ancient tree.

The statue depicted a handsome man who was holding a sword in his hand.

The sword was emitting a lustrous light and was surrounded by the shadow of a flower.

Ding Yue could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.

“Holy Child, you can sit three feet in front of the ancestor’s statue and sincerely call on the ancestor. You will definitely gain something.”

The elder made a gesture of invitation.

Ding Yue muttered in his heart, ‘There wasn’t going to be any danger, right?’

It was not appropriate for him to voice this question out directly. He figured that since he was the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits, that there should not be any danger.

Thus, he cautiously approached.

After taking a few steps, he arrived three feet in front of the statue.

Chu Xuan stared at the statue of the Earth Spirit ancestor. The statue was surrounded by a faint Dao aura.

The Earth Spirit’s ancestor had been a Dao realm expert.

However, he did not know what level this person had reached, or whether or not he was still alive.

Ding Yue was able to become the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits because of his fate. The primary reason behind this was probably related to the spirit of the earth vein.

Chu Xuan even suspected that the founder of the Earth Spirit race was most likely a spirit of some ancient earth vein.

This was because the spirit of the earth vein recognized Ding Yue as its master. Perhaps the ancestor had sensed Ding Yue’s fate and hoped that he would be able to lead the Earth Spirit race to rise up again.

Was that why they crowned him as their Holy Child?

Ding Yue was now three feet away from the statue.

Suddenly, the statue seemed to come to life. Its eyes opened and shone.

The sword in its hand blossomed with flower petals. Strands of spiritual power burst forth, instantly sealing Ding Yue inside.

An intense sense of crisis instantly enveloped him.

Ding Yue’s expression changed greatly, and he cursed in his heart. There was indeed danger.

He was a human. How could he become the Holy Child of the Earth Spirits? He did not have the bloodline of the Earth Spirits!

At the critical moment, Ding Yue reacted quickly, raising his hand to grab something…
