The Foundation Establishment realm cultivators in the base had mostly gone to take Wang Baole’s life. Therefore, there were only a few that stayed behind, and that included those two late-stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.
Now, of all the people that Wang Baole had killed, the only one surviving was the one who was a Federation seedling like him.
The True Breath realm cultivators standing around had seen Wang Baole arrive with their own eyes. They witnessed him killing Foundation Establishment realm cultivators as if he was slaughtering chickens. Fear had long gripped their hearts completely, and as they were immersed in fear, they had given up the thought of resisting. They were all clear that in the face of a formidable person like Wang Baole, resisting would be futile. Instead, it would become the spark for more trouble to come.
As for Wang Baole, all the killing along the way had already helped dissipate the hostility in his heart. The remnant of grudge that remained was that he hadn’t seen Zhou Fei from the Five Generation Sky Clan.
Wang Baole’s hatred towards Zhou Fei was second to the Core Formation old lady. Now, he was standing outside the trench, alternating between looking into it with his head lowered and at the people around him who didn’t dare to even breathe. A flash appeared across his eyes as he looked towards the only Federation seedling cultivator.



Who’s that… Lin Guizi? That’s your name, right? Explain the plot and goal the Galactic Dusk Sect is trying to achieve, and also tell me about the relationship between you and the Five Generation Sky Clan.


I don’t wish to kill you, so you’d better be upfront. Also, I want you to tell me the location of the Five Generation Sky Clan’s base!
Wang Baole didn’t bother mincing words, conveying what he was looking for directly.
The True Breath realm cultivators standing around all lowered their heads. The Federation seedling cultivator laughed bitterly and didn’t hesitate to tell Wang Baole everything he knew.
After all, the intelligent ones were the ones who knew when to act according to their circumstances. The Federation seedling from the Galactic Dusk Sect didn’t hesitate a single bit in revealing the secrets of his sect and was even very detailed in doing so…
Based on the answer, Wang Baole finally understood the relationship between the Galactic Dusk Sect and the Five Generation Sky Clan, as well as their goal.
At the same time, he began to gain a more precise grasp on the sequence of events that led to the changes in the Mystic Luna Realm.
In reality, there was a large ancient tree buried deep underground on the moon. An unknown length of time ago, it was born into existence, even though no one knew exactly how it arose. It seemed to have already been present on the day the moon was born.
The ancient tree had experienced many trials and had been through the passage of time, be it the period when Spirit Qi hadn’t filled the area or the period where it survived against all odds in an unfavorable environment. Its roots were spread across a wide area in the ground of the moon, integrating together with the rocks and mud, which made it difficult for people to sense its presence.
Signs of its existence only began to appear many years ago, which led to a series of tales, such as that of the osmanthus tree inside the moon.
However, the large ancient tree died a long time ago. After all, it had existed in the moon for too long, and there was a limit to how long it was possible for it to live. Therefore, when it had reached a near-death stage and felt that its life could no longer be sustained, it dispersed its seeds towards Earth in order for them to grow again on Earth.


In that manner, it managed to achieve some sort of eternal existence.
Eternal existence… 
As Wang Baole listened, thoughts arose in his head. In reality, there were many sayings about eternal existence in this time and age. Going back in time, before the arrival of the ancient greenish-bronze sword, somebody had once mentioned that the purpose of the early humans procreating was to prolong their life’s existence, and to some extent achieve eternal existence.
You’re reading on B o x n o v e l .com Thanks!
The phrase ‘eternal existence’ flashed across Wang Baole’s mind. He didn’t care about eternal existence, as the only thing that was important to him was having dreams.
As Wang Baole fell silent, the Federation seedling from Galactic Dusk Sect continued illustrating.
The giant tree that had almost completely integrated with the moon continued growing to its limits. It dispersed its seeds towards the earth, but it was a pity that Spirit Qi had still not existed on earth then. The environment was also unfavorable for the germination of the seeds, and as a result, the seeds either withered and died or remained dormant. If nothing unexpected happened, the seeds would have the same outcome as the giant tree on the moon, and that was a gradual death.
That was until… the arrival of the ancient greenish-bronze sword!
That was until… the falling of the fragments!
That was until… the eruption of Spirit Qi!
The effect of Spirit Qi on humans and ferocious beasts was extremely strong, and that was the case for the plants and vegetation as well. Of them, the ones that received the most impact were the seeds that were dispersed from the giant tree many years ago.


Under the nourishment of the Spirit Qi, those seeds evolved insidiously. After a series of integration and elimination, three seeds managed to emerge and survive until this day. They each possessed a Core Formation level of cultivation and were vigilant and spiteful towards each other.
Three of them! 
Wang Baole’s pupils constricted. He wasn’t sure if the giant tree on Huang Shan was the same as the one he had seen in Coulomb Basin. If it wasn’t, he would have seen two of the three trees with his own eyes!

I heard all of this from the elders from the Ancestor’s Gate. Other than depending on their own cultivation to grow, another easier method for the three trees to develop would be to swallow each other. Therefore, they are extremely hostile towards each other. It was a pity that the three of them were comparable to each other in terms of capabilities, and were extremely vigilant towards each other. As a result, there was no opportunity for any swallowing to happen.


As such, in order to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation and to swallow each other, they decided to be assimilated into a host body in order to enter the Mystic Luna Realm. Their goal… to find their parent tree!
The Federation seedling from the Galactic Dusk Sect lowered his voice as he spoke about the crucial reason behind the arrival of the three trees on the moon!
The large parent tree deep under the moon’s surface had existed for so long that it had been on the brink of death for an extremely long time. Even with the arrival of the ancient greenish-bronze sword and the Spirit Qi, it was unable to rejuvenate its life. However, before it died, it managed to grow a fruit!
That fruit was the target of the parent tree’s three offspring. Swallowing the fruit would allow them to achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation and reach the Nascent Soul realm!
However, to induce the parent tree to grow a fruit, nutrients were needed. One source of the nutrients were the cultivators within the Mystic Luna Realm. However, the more significant and indispensable source would be from the three giant trees themselves.
With every death of one of the three giant trees, the growth of the fruit by the parent tree would be accelerated. Once two giant trees die, the parent tree would instantly bear fruit!
The trees didn’t hide this goal of theirs from the people that they were cooperating with. One of the trees collaborated with the Five Generation Sky Clan, while another collaborated with the Galactic Dusk Sect. After each reached an agreement, the two factions supported and assisted the mutant tree that they were collaborating with, and they began a battle against each other in the Mystic Luna Realm!
The tree that had blended itself within the crowd of the four Dao Colleges was the third tree. It was killed through the collaboration of the two groups of allies, consisting of the Five Generation Sky Clan and the Galactic Dusk Sect with each of their trees!


That resulted in two trees remaining of the three!
At the same time, the Five Generation Sky Clan and Galactic Dusk Sect each established numerous bases. That was the result of the endless pursuit for the parent tree that had occurred as part of the collaboration between the trees and each clan.
This particular base was still in the process of excavation. Right now, it could more or less be determined that the path that was being dug out was not leading to the main stem. Therefore, knowing that, the old lady and the other Core Formation cultivators left for another base to continue guarding it.
Towards the end of his illustration, the Federation seedling from the Galactic Dusk Sect hesitated momentarily before speaking softly again.

According to the information that I have received, the third base of our sect is the one that would truly lead to the main stem. Its excavation has almost been completed. However, it is unclear why there are still people staying at and personnel being sent to the remaining two bases.
As he concluded his sentence, he passed the location of the other two bases of his sect, as well as that of Five Generation Sky Clan that was found by the other sects, to Wang Baole, not thinking too much about it.

That’s all I have, Brother Wang. I didn’t hide a single detail! I don’t ask for more. I’m not worried about you regretting it and deciding to kill me after all. However, please give these True Breath disciples a chance to live. They didn’t offend you in any way!
In the end, the Galactic Dusk Sect disciple sighed as he looked pitifully at the True Breath realm disciples that had fallen silent around him. It was unclear what thoughts were running through his mind, but from the surface, it could be seen that he had betrayed his sect in order to protect his fellow disciples.
Looking at the Federation seedling before him, Wang Baole was clear about his intentions and had no plans to stab him in the back. After all, the Federation seedling had cooperated fully, and even though Wang Baole was uncertain about the truth of the jade slip’s contents, the location of the base of the Five Generation Sky Clan was one that Wang Baole had seen previously.
After comparing the information, he concluded that the information was still somewhat accurate. He nodded his head before turning around and charging into the distance, heading in the direction marked on the jade slip.
Seeing that Wang Baole had left, the disciples from the Galactic Dusk Sect all heaved sighs of relief. They all felt as if they had risen from the dead, and they all thanked the Federation seedling, their hearts filled with gratitude.
Lin Guizi, the Federation seedling, picked by Wang Baole, also heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Wang Baole disappearing into the distance, he was filled with a torrent of emotions as he recalled what he had experienced in Federation City.



This person has become completely different from us…
As he mumbled to himself, he retracted his gaze and turned his attention towards the disciples who were thanking him. He felt a sense of pride as he thought that he had handled the matter well.
Right now, Wang Baole was charging forward through the dark side of the Mystic Luna Realm. The viciousness in his eyes grew stronger. He wasn’t afraid of falling into any traps, as he could always toss some Mystic Trace Beads around. And if the Mystic Trace Beads were of no use…
I’ll awaken the Night Immortal King! 
A desire to kill flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes as he picked up speed.
