The Giant Wood Clan also fell into a wave of cheers.
This ti, Lin Feng certainly beca a hero again, breaking the enemy’s conspiracy without any soldiers or casualties. The Desolate Realm army, which was prid to attack, began their retreat.
"Now, those bastards should quietly return to their nests," Luo Tuo gazed at the distant emptiness and sighed with relief.
The shadows of the pre-war were swept away by this atmosphere, and only without the fires of war could the forest find peace.
Tian Xun, as a young leader of the Giant Wood Clan, contemplated performing the highest rite of the Giant Wood Clan for Lin Feng.
"I represent the Giant Wood Clan to thank you, for letting the Tree God enjoy tranquility. You will always be the benefactor of our Giant Wood Clan."
Lin Feng was deeply moved by Tian Xun’s courtesy, never expecting that Tian Xun, one of the leaders of the Giant Wood Clan, would genuinely express gratitude towards an outsider like him.
Such official gratitude was nonexistent in the Court of the Human Realm, where people only feared Lin Feng would steal their credit and might overshadow the rulers, scheming endlessly to strike at Lin Feng.
From his arrival at the Star-Gazing Pavilion, this was the first ti Lin Feng received such favor. Deeply touched, Lin Feng respectfully returned the salute to Tian Xun with a slight bow full of respect.
"Let’s go. Let’s head back, no need for more formalities here."
Luo Tuo said cheerfully, his face filled with sincerity.
Lin Feng and the others joined the laughter.
Back at the Giant Wood Clan camp, everything was lit up and bustling with activity.
The camp was already celebrating this battle without smoke and fire, the greatest victory in the history of the Giant Wood Clan.
Such a glorious victory could certainly be recorded in the history of the Giant Wood Clan.
Lin Feng would undoubtedly remain the hero of the Giant Wood Clan, a benefactor forever rembered by the clan.
The Clan Leader, along with various leaders, ca out of the camp to welco Lin Feng and others, his face glowing with a radiant smile.
Lin Feng and the others rode back into the camp on Spiritual Horses. The Spiritual Horses in the Giant Wood Forest were highly intelligent. Whenever a Giant Wood Clan mber used their unique whistle calling with a Secret Technique, nearby Spiritual Horses would gather on their own. As one lovable Spiritual Horse approached Lin Feng and the group, Tang Su found it so magical that he developed a fondness for the Giant Wood Clan.
The group rode the Spiritual Horses forth, and the Clan Leader smiled: "Well done, young man, the old man indeed chose the right person."
The admiration for Lin Feng was evident on his face.
Lin Feng dismounted, greeted the leaders one by one, deeply moved by the openness and cheerfulness of the Giant Wood Clan, and quickly blended into the lively atmosphere with everyone.
"Hello." At that mont, an enchanting voice rang in Lin Feng’s ears, sounding particularly familiar to him. Turning around, he saw it was Chen Susu, who had invited him to join Su Liqian’s martial arts marriage challenge last ti.
Su Liqian, seeing Chen Susu arriving, asked urgently, "Why did you co so early?" Knowing Chen Susu returned because of the Giant Wood Clan’s great victory, naturally celebrating as per clan customs. Su Liqian only questioned Chen Susu’s quick arrival.
Chen Susu understood what Su Liqian ant, saying pleasantly, "I ca with my father because he participated in the clan’s eting. So we arrived this morning."
"Clan eting" only occurs when the Giant Wood Clan faces major enemies, not typically involving such grand gatherings. It seed the Giant Wood Clan was well prepared to resist strong foes, ready for the worst outcos, hence their joyous reaction after the Desolate Realm army retreated.
Because of the radiant light by the lakeside, the Giant Wood Clan beca aware of Lin Feng’s group’s destruction of the enemy’s plot.
Thus, they joyfully hosted the clan’s long-awaited grand gathering, to thank their benefactor and reward Lin Feng and his fellow warriors.
Lin Feng and others were led by the Clan Leader and Giant Wood Clan mbers to the celebration square in the camp.
Lin Feng, Su Liqian, Tian Xun, Luo Tuo, and the Tang brothers all went up on stage.
The Clan Leader wore formal attire, reserved for awarding honors.
The Giant Wood Clan Leader ca to the stage beside Lin Feng and spoke to everyone below:
"On behalf of the Giant Wood Clan, I thank you and bestow upon you the honor of the Giant Wood Clan."
Then, he sprinkled so droplets toward Lin Feng, began to chant, "Blessed by the Tree God."
As radiant lights spread around Lin Feng, enveloping him in their splendor, the Giant Wood Clan warriors below gazed enviously, for this was the highest honor of the Giant Wood Clan, reserved for those who brought peace to the clan. Lin Feng was one of those lucky few, receiving the clan’s highest honor.
After opening his eyes amidst the luminous splendor, Lin Feng found himself in a Secret Realm.
An old man, gray-haired, leaning on a cane. Though appearing sowhat frail, his eyes sparkled with vigor, Lin Feng quickly realized this elder was still glowing with energy.
The old man wore deep blue attire, intricately embroidered, showcasing great ethnic characteristics.
Upon seeing Lin Feng here, the elder was not surprised, seemingly expecting his arrival, thus waiting solemnly.
The elder smiled kindly at Lin Feng and said, "Young man, welco to the Tree God Barrier."
Lin Feng had heard from Su Liqian about the Tree God Barrier, known as the "Bihua Heavenly Pond," residing within the barrier.
The Tree God Barrier was laid by ancient gods, unreachable without the Secret Technique transmissions from each clan leader, nor discoverable searching all over the Giant Wood Forest.
Feeling a mysterious surge in his heart, Lin Feng promptly responded to the elder, "Sir, am I in the place of the Bihua Heavenly Pond?"
The elder knowingly nodded.
Raising his head to look around, Lin Feng saw no sign of any water source.
Perplexed, Lin Feng asked the elder, "Sir, I don’t see any water source. Where exactly lies the Bihua Heavenly Pond Water?"
Chuckling, the elder stroked his beard and explained, "Hahaha, young friend, don’t rush. Before heading to Bihua Heavenly Pond, may I ask you a question, young hero?"
Lin Feng clasped his hands, responding to the elder, "Sir, feel free to ask any question."
Laughing again, the elder urgently asked, "Sir, what was your reason for enduring dangers and relieving the Giant Wood Clan of this predicant?"
Lin Feng fluently replied, "Though I’m not great at speaking grand principles of justice, I just know removing oppression for good is the essence of righteousness, thus bringing lasting peace to the Human Realm."
"What a noble thought of lasting peace, hahahaha, let us journey to Bihua Heavenly Pool Lake together in spirit."
Communication through spirit, Lin Feng felt a crystalline, transparent, colorless light surge beneath him, experiencing an imnsely powerful spiritual vortex. Opening his eyes along with this spiritual power, Lin Feng found himself.
He was in the lake water of the Bihua Heavenly Pond, witnessing countless pure streams of Life Force flowing into his ridians. His ridians, like opened floodgates, directed the "Bihua Heavenly Pond Essence Power" from the lake bottom into him, feeling magical Life Essence Energy rushing into him, akin to rebirth, every cell within him echoing this call.
In the translucent lake water, Lin Feng’s ridians were reshaped and strengthened. His body was rejuvenated, nourished by endless Life Essence Power. His soul beca purer, free from any impurity.
