The news of Wu Wang being the chosen one to retrieve the Star God's True Immortal Scripture was the last to reach the Bear Hug Clan.

For a while, the elders sighed, the strong men shed tears, and the young girls fainted.

While everyone expressed their reluctance for Wu Wang to go on this adventure, they also anxiously inquired about when he would leave.

They were either afraid of the future calamities or simply curious about what the Star God's True Immortal Scripture looked like.

Wu Wang had considered leaving secretly, but upon further thought, he realized that if he was found to be absent from the clan for a long time, it would inevitably lead to various speculations.

Using "going out to study" as an excuse would make him vulnerable to attacks from other clans, who would accuse him of betraying the Star God.

Thus, the current plan was the least impactful, convenient for him to return at any time, and would put the minds of the clan at ease.

The Star God had sent him out to retrieve the scripture, so he would be protected along the way, right?

Wu Wang did not tell anyone other than his parents that he was going to the Human Realm in the south, and he tried his best to downplay this fact to avoid being suspected of forming an alliance with the people of the Human Realm.

He had to consider every aspect, and although he seemed to be in a favorable position, he also had many responsibilities and restrictions.

But it felt great.

One day, General Xiong San came to ask Wu Wang when he would leave the North Wilderness, and Wu Wang set a one-month deadline.

During the next month, Wu Wang wanted to spend more time with his parents. After all, before he reached the Elemental Infant stage and obtained a flying artifact that could be used for a long time, it would be difficult for him to return to the North Wilderness.

Although Wu Wang was confident that he could compete with anyone of the same age, the path of cultivation was unpredictable, and he could not set a definite return date.

He announced to the outside world that "the retrieval of the scripture is a difficult journey, and I do not know when I will return."

It sounded a bit like a young prince.

Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan's experience also deeply affected Wu Wang.

Clearly, Ji Mo's teacher, the middle-aged scholar who appeared briefly on the boat, was standing nearby. According to his mother, the person's cultivation level was at least the True Immortal stage, and he had hidden injuries.

Yet, he watched as more than ten talented cultivators were killed without doing anything to save them.

The key to this trial was actually Ling Xiaolan and Ji Mo, and Ling Xiaolan's slow reaction and failure to use her Leaping Spirit cultivation level were the main reasons for the failure of the trial.

Why didn't he save them?

Was the so-called trial really more important than human life?

Wu Wang was somewhat unable to accept this and, therefore, had no good feelings towards the forces behind Ji Mo and the "elders," making him more determined to change his identity and cultivate in a low-key manner in the Human Realm.

Of course, Ji Mo was still a good person, except for hiding the fact that he carried "Grandpa" with him, everything else was sincere.

The point was, he knew how to be a decent person.

Lin Suqing said that the Human Realm was peaceful, prosperous, and as long as ordinary cultivators did not act recklessly, they could safely reach their own bottleneck in cultivation. At that time, they could either go to the border to sacrifice themselves or find a place to live out their lives in peace.

But the Human Realm that Ji Mo showed Wu Wang was cruel and filled with a strong sense of anxiety.

Yes, it was anxiety.

After thinking for a day and a night and combining the information he already knew, Wu Wang finally came up with a reasonable guess.The reason why the trial in the Human Realm was so cruel was because they urgently wanted to cultivate a "general" who could stand alone.

In other words, the decision-makers in the Human Realm were under tremendous pressure, and ordinary cultivators who were not in contact with this circle were still living in the false prosperous world created by the former.

Thinking horizontally, the rumors that even the North Wilderness could hear were that the current emperor of the Human Realm had not appeared for more than 800 years, and a new emperor had not yet emerged...

Wu Wang shook his head secretly.

- This is a series of problems caused by the unclear inheritance of a major force in an environment like the Great Wasteland.

He lived alone in the Great Snow Mountain for half a month and listened to his mother nagging for half a month.

Wu Wang found that there were still many things that he and his mother couldn't finish talking about, such as upgrading the structure of the Star God Sect, how to balance the various tribes in the North Wilderness, how to dilute the differences between the human race and other races, and avoid the phenomenon of human supremacy in the North Wilderness.

That would cause endless trouble.

Cang Xue's eyes always carried countless tenderness, but behind this tenderness, there were too many things that couldn't be seen through.

Before leaving the snow mountain, Wu Wang solemnly handed his own ideas about how to crack the Star God's blessing to his mother.

Cang Xue didn't say much, just raised her hand and rubbed Wu Wang's head...the ice crystal film outside.

Wu Wang smiled: "Mother, I'm already grown up."

"You are still my child no matter how old you are," Cang Xue said softly, "Take care of yourself outside. I won't go to see you off tomorrow. If you don't feel comfortable outside, come back to the North Wilderness."

"Okay," Wu Wang promised, "Mother, take care of yourself too."

Cang Xue nodded with a smile, Wu Wang bowed and turned out of the wooden door, jumping onto the back of the Snow Eagle.

On the night when Wu Wang returned to the palace, the leader's ceremony returned to the palace, but General Xiong Han refused to see his only son, and the father and son confronted each other for half a month.

Tomorrow is the day of departure. Just as it was getting dark, General Xiong San hurried over.

"Master, how many people are you going to take with you to get the scriptures this time?"

"I'll go with Su Qing and Senior Left Dong," Wu Wang said.

"Not even one person?" General Xiong San's eyes almost popped out, "You should at least take me with you, what if you encounter a strong enemy and your fists can't match their four arms?!"

Wu Wang smiled: "If I encounter a strong enemy, I'll spread my wings and escape directly."

"What about someone who serves you drinks and pours water?"

"Not necessary."

"What about someone who plays music and dances?"

"Not necessary either."

"You still have a strange illness!"

General Xiong San was so anxious that he almost sounded the alarm. "If you encounter a woman who has designs on you, I can punch her away!"

"If I faint, it's all over!"

Wu Wang said seriously: "I have a difficult mission and cannot fail the trust of the Star God. And also, General, look."

As he spoke, Wu Wang took out two masks from his arms and placed them in front of General Xiong San, and demonstrated his "ice crystal film" protective measures.

The two masks had the same style, covering half of the face with a half-face armor, but they were made of a special material. They looked very smooth, but had a frosted texture when touched.Wu Wang put on his mask and his face became slightly swollen. He also made himself look more muscular in front of General Xiong San, and tied his long hair into a bun.

His aura, appearance, and body shape were all completely different from before.

"How is it?" Wu Wang smiled and said, "As long as I act low-key and don't join any crowds, who can recognize me? Besides, only a few people in the Human Realm have seen me. Even if I leave our tribe without a mask, not many people can recognize me. General San, don't worry, I value my life very much."

The main reason why he didn't bring any guards was that cultivation was a lonely journey, and it was said that "there is no winter solstice in the mountains, and those who cultivate immortality don't know the years." He could use his dual SIM cards to practice the Star-Praying Technique and increase his lifespan continuously. It wouldn't be a problem to spend 180 years on cultivation. But if his guards followed him, their lifespan would be limited. If the best years of their lives were wasted in the Human Realm, it would be unfair to them and their partners.

"This..." General Xiong San frowned and scratched his head, but in the end, he could only sigh and leave.

Wu Wang reminded him not to reveal any information, and General Xiong San agreed repeatedly.

"What else do I need to prepare?"

Wu Wang sat behind the desk and looked around the wooden house. The bookcase and wardrobe were almost empty.

It had been many years, and he felt a little strange.

It was time to say goodbye again.

Wu Wang's mind flashed with a few scenes. He was in a low, ordinary house, picking at the special lunch box in front of him and looking at the two photos on the table.

He was able to stand out among the volunteers not only because he ranked high in all aspects of training, but also because he had few worries.

Everyone knew that this was originally a mission of ten deaths and no life, and they didn't know what they would face.

But there was no other way. The technology was not advanced enough, and they could only use limited resources to explore relatively risky areas.

What made Wu Wang a little relieved was that after he entered the wormhole, the last feedback he received was that the wormhole stopped approaching the Blue Star and collapsed rapidly.

"Young Master?"

Lin Suqing poked her head in and asked, "Is there anything else to pack? I still have two storage magic treasures here."

"No need." Wu Wang sighed, rubbed his nose with force, and said, "Go and rest."

"Okay." Lin Suqing blinked and slowly closed the wooden door, quietly returning to the next wooden house.

However, not long after...

"How can you go without guards? How can you not bring guards!" Xiong Han's grumbling came from outside the wooden door. Wu Wang hurriedly went outside to wait, and welcomed his father into the wooden house with a face full of anger.

Xiong Han still strongly objected to Wu Wang going to the Human Realm, but as the head of the family, he had already spoken, and there was nothing he could do to stop his son now.

Moreover, the entire North Wilderness was already spreading rumors about "Xiong Ba, the one who is seeking the stars", and Xiong Han couldn't stop his son anymore.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiong Han slapped the table and sat there in silence. Only the father and son were left in the room.

Wu Wang poured tea and massaged his father's shoulders and legs, coaxing him with a smile.

After a long silence, Xiong Han tried to speak several times but swallowed his words. Finally, he said in a low voice:"Is the Human Realm really that good?"

"Dad, calm down," Wu Wang knocked on the wall, and Lin Suqing in the next room immediately activated the soundproofing formation, enveloping the wooden house.

He leaned over and pinched his father's shoulder, which was as hard as a rock, and smiled, "I'm just looking for a way to live longer. Maybe I can make you and Mom live for thousands of years."

"What's the use? Won't we become immortal?" Xiong Han grumbled.

Wu Wang hurriedly said, "When my cultivation level is high, I will come back and visit you and Mom. Don't worry, you know my talent, reaching the Elemental Infant realm is easy for me."

"Ha, do you think I don't know how difficult it is to reach the Elemental Infant realm?"

"I know a friend named Ji Mo. It took him decades to reach the Elemental Infant realm."

Xiong Han scolded, "But you still have to bring guards!"

"Dad, bringing guards is not conducive to hiding our whereabouts," Wu Wang said, "I plan to separate from Suqing and her master before we reach the Human Realm, and then secretly go to a major sect to obtain their cultivation techniques. And Dad, have you read the plan I wrote for you?"

"I've read some of it. What's the point of selecting some young men and women from our clan to go to the Human Realm? The cultivation time is long, and the power they gain is not much stronger than the Star-Praying Technique obtained through praying to the Star God."

"But the nature of this power is different," Wu Wang said, "Strong men like you, who have strong qi and blood and can move mountains, are also the result of the Star God's baptism, and ultimately an extension of the Star-Praying Technique. But have you considered what will happen if the Star-Praying Technique becomes ineffective one day? How will we fight against the fierce beasts?"

Xiong Han shook his head and said, "In the North Wilderness, not following the will of the Star God will lead to big trouble."

"So let's secretly send someone, but make sure they are trustworthy," Wu Wang said, "We don't have to let them come back. It can be a long-term investment."

"I'll consider it."

Xiong Han sighed, "You...just go, your mother has agreed, what else can I say?"

After speaking, Xiong Han stood up.

"Go quietly, so as not to be discovered. Be careful of ambushes on the road."

"Okay."

Wu Wang responded, his voice trembling slightly, "I'm not filial..."

"As long as you come back when your mother and I are old, you're not unfilial. Take this."

Xiong Han took out a long sword from his arms and threw it on Wu Wang's desk.

"I found it on the side of the road. Many people in the Human Realm use swords, and using hammers or axes will make it obvious that you are from the North Wilderness. Don't get involved in other people's business. If there's a problem, just bear with it. Okay, I have to go patrol the border."

After speaking, Xiong Han hurriedly left, his majestic figure quickly blending into the night, leaving only a long sigh.

Wu Wang pursed his lips and stood quietly in front of the house for a while, then walked forward and turned around to look at the two wooden houses.

He raised his hand, and the long sword with its scabbard was taken into his palm. He unsheathed it three inches, and a crisp sword cry echoed in his ears. The word "snow" was written on the sword, and the sword body was like silver-white glass, with stars flowing on it...

Can a sword made of star ore be found on the side of the road?

Clang.The sword returned to its sheath, and Wu Wang said to Lin Suqing, who was standing at the door of the next wooden house, "Let's go."

Shortly after, two wooden houses by the river were set on fire as a farewell to those who knew.

Wu Wang and Lin Suqing sat at the back of the wooden boat controlled by the Daoist in the left cave and quickly disappeared into the night sky.

When it was dawn, they were on a large ship heading south.

Wu Wang stood on the stern deck looking north. As the night faded away, his mood gradually became calm.

Suddenly, he saw a carriage speeding along the shore, and the four frost wolves pulling it rushed to a cliff by the sea, calling out one after another, as if calling him back.

In the distance, he could still see his mother standing in the clouds, but the wind from the North Wilderness blew gently, and the figure disappeared quietly.
