3165 The Joust (1)



"What?"

Everybody was shocked.

Pei Bai asked, "The Miracle Divine Tree has existed since ancient times. After countless years, it has given birth to countless strong masters for the Miracle Forest. Why is it… suddenly like this?"

Yun Duo was also shocked. "High Priest, what's going on?"

Si Hongye frowned. This information was indeed beyond her expectations.

The high priest sighed. "I'm not saying that the Miracle Tree is dying, but… I'm afraid we don't have time to wait for the next time the Miracle Tree gives birth to divine fruits."

Seeing their solemn faces, the high priest sighed. "Wang Han is right. The ominous has returned. When Qingchan and Chanyi were born, I had actually received a message from the Sea of Stars. Now, in the depths of the Sea of Stars, the situation of the ominous invasion has become severe.. There has been a large-scale divine war. Among the strong masters in the Miracle Forest, more than a dozen Great Monarchs have died in battle. The previous Holy Lady was seriously injured in this ominous battle. Not only us, but many super forces have lost many strong masters…"

"Has the war started?"

"How is it possible? Has the situation in the depths of the Sea of Stars reached this level?"

"No wonder, no wonder 100,000 years ago and thousands of years ago, two consecutive large-scale conscriptions took away many experts from the Sea Realm at once."

Han Fei's heart did a flip.

"The divine war has already broken out? So many experts have already died? And the experts have been conscripted?"

This was the biggest secret he had heard so far. No wonder the superpowers didn't seem to have many experts.

When Han Fei entered the Immortal level, he had doubts in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart.

It was easy for Dao Provers to cross to the Carefree Level. It was no secret that from the Carefree Level to the Immortal realm, one had to condense a law body.

However, in theory, it was not a problem for an Immortal to live for millions or even tens of millions of years. Logically speaking, among the major factions that had existed since the Age of the Gods to this day, there should be more than so few Immortal-level and Great Monarch-level powerhouses.

But the fact was that the number of strong masters in the Sea Realm was relatively too few. For example, there were only more than 20 strong masters who had proven Dao in the Heavenly Race. For example, the Phoenix Divine Race, one of the three giants of the South Sea Divine Realm, only had three Great Monarchs on the surface, but they controlled a territory comparable to the Divine Capital Dynasty.

But hundreds of Monarchs from the Divine Capital Dynasty came to the God Ferrying Ancient Land. This number really shocked him. When he was in the Divine Capital Dynasty, he didn't know that there were so many strong masters there.

From the looks of it, it was not that these super forces had few experts, but that most of them were not in the Sea Realm but fighting in the Sea of Stars. Besides, most of these people probably wouldn't be able to return. Otherwise, why would the old woman of the Miracle Forest be afraid of him?

The high priest said, "Wang Han is right about one thing. If the ominous really attacks, the Central Sea Divine Realm won't care about the Miracle Forest. Whether what Wang Han said about the lifting of restrictions on the bloodline of divine descendants is true or not, it doesn't matter. It's useless to curry favor with anyone at this time. As long as we don't have a god, we will be bullied. Whether it's the super forces of the Central Sea Divine Realm or the Primordial Divine Race, the marriage alliance won't work."

The high priest suddenly snorted. "Our Miracle Forest can't be reduced to being threatened by others. Therefore, after this matter is over, I'm prepared to… transcend the divine tribulation."

"What?"

Pei Bai's face changed slightly. "High Priest, are you going to pass the divine tribulation at this juncture?"

Si Hongye also said, "High Priest, you must not. Transcending divine tribulations is dangerous. The Eternal Race will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

However, the high priest shook her head slightly. "I've made up my mind. There's no need to persuade me anymore. Even if I have to risk my life, I have to give it a try. If I succeed, the Miracle Forest will regain its position as the overlord of the South Sea Divine Realm. If I fail… you shall wake up the Miracle Tree, expel Wang Han and Chanyi, and leave the South Sea Divine Realm. The Miracle Tree will guide you to a new home."

Yun Duo asked, "High Priest, is the matter so serious?"

The high priest said in a cold voice, "The Central Sea Divine Realm can't be trusted. If I die, they will most likely steal the luck and lifeline of our Spiritual Race and deprive us of our Heavenly Talents' inherited bloodline. In the past, the Primordial Divine Race declined like this. I don't want the Miracle Forest to suffer the same fate."

The high priest's voice was tragic. Han Fei felt that it was mostly because of his provocation that she had to make such a decision.

It did make sense. A peak-level Great Monarch who could even protect the entire Miracle Forest alone was threatened by an Immortal-level junior but couldn't do anything. She must be quite frustrated.

Han Fei thought to himself, he must not let this high priest know that he had nothing to do with the Primordial Divine Race. Otherwise, if the other party knew that she had been deceived, he didn't know how furious she would be.

However, Han Fei still admired this old woman for her decisiveness.

With no way out, she immediately wanted to risk her life.

Another moment later.

After the high priest explained the matter, Yun Duo and the other two left with worried looks.

Yun Duo came to a cave on the Miracle Divine Tree, which was Xia Xiaochan's cultivation cave.

"Master, why are you here?"

Yun Duo put away the worry in her eyes and smiled. "The joust will be held tomorrow, so I came to see you. However, you don't seem nervous at all. Is it because you have absolute confidence in Wang Han?"
