Yu Zi Yu heaved a long, deep breath before finally starting the last stretch of preparations.

According to his calculations, the Third Spiritual Energy Tide was expected to arrive in 12-13 days.

It was time to make the last arrangements.

The first order on the list was to recall the scattered Clans across the continent.

With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness returned to his main body, jolting it a bit.

Immediately afterward, as if sensing his intent…

*Screech, Screech, Screech…* Accompanied by high-pitched screeches, the sky above was soon filled by the aerial unit led by the eight Peregrine Falcons, blocking out the night sky.

The eight Peregrine Falcons, as Yu Zi Yu’s trusted aides, naturally ruled the skies.

Following them were the Inferno Birds, Mutant Eagles, and even some Mutant Swallows and other birds.

These avians were mostly not adept at combat; their primary roles were to relay messages or transport goods.

Overall, the aerial unit of Misty Mountains was not yet fully formed. After all, there was not a single Mutant Bird capable of single-handedly holding its own.

Even though White Tiger had wings, he still valued his Tiger Clan more. As such, Yu Zi Yu would naturally not force such a task on him.

Meanwhile, the Lightning Dragon and Nine Tails, among other powerful Transcendents capable of flight, preferred to travel alone.

*Haaa…* With a sigh, Yu Zi Yu lifted his gaze, looking at the excited birds in the distance, and instructed, “Inform all the Clans to return.”

“Yes, Master,” responding in unison, the Mutant Birds flapped their wings and took off, flying in all directions in an instant with consecutive swooshes, as if they had rehearsed before.

For a moment, the entire night sky was filled with the sound of flapping wings of Mutant Birds.

“These guys…” Smiling, Yu Zi Yu turned his gaze towards Qing Gang in the distance and asked, “Qing Gang, how are the three Human cities under Misty Mountains’ rule doing?”

Hearing Yu Zi Yu’s question, Qing Gang stepped forward and replied with a smile, “Reporting to Master, except for White Emperor City, which was recently occupied and has not fully pledged loyalty yet, the other two cities, Crescent Moon City and Smoghaven, are completely loyal. The million Humans in these cities all worship you and coexist peacefully with numerous Mutant Beasts. So far, many Humans have even formed contracts with various Mutant Beasts, becoming combat partners. However, for the past three years, while the Misty Mountains have been silent, they have mostly stayed within their cities, rarely venturing out.”

After calmly hearing the report, Yu Zi Yu felt quite satisfied.

This was typical of Humans. In some ways, Humans were a grateful species.

Yu Zi Yu had never mistreated them. And apart from providing them with ample Spiritual Lands for self-sufficiency, he also provided them necessary protection.

Under the guidance of those with good intentions, these Humans had kept their gratitude in mind.

As for a few ‘ungrateful’ ones, there was no need to worry.

The overall trend wouldn’t be affected by a few.

Now, Yu Zi Yu planned to bestow upon these Humans some of the unique benefits that the Mutant Beasts of Misty Mountains enjoyed. After all, over the past three years, Crescent Moon City and Smoghaven had greatly contributed to the development of Misty Mountains.

For instance, they prepared food for many of the ordinary Mutant Beasts.

With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu immediately ordered, “Go notify Crescent Moon City and Smoghaven to prepare for a miracle in about half a month.”

Indeed, the Third Spiritual Energy Tide would be a miraculous event for many Humans and various Mutant Beasts.

During the Second Spiritual Energy Tide, those who were unable to withstand the influx of Spiritual Energy were eliminated, while the Humans who managed to survive had adapted to this new world.

And now, their opportunity to truly break out of their cocoon had arrived.

Based on Yu Zi Yu’s predictions, this Third Spiritual Energy Tide, with its nine-colored Spiritual Energy, would thoroughly cleanse all living beings, from body to Soul. If they seized the opportunity, reaching Heaven in a single bound would not be impossible.

Such a gift from the Heavens could only be called a ‘miracle’.

“Yes, Master.”  Sensing the significance, Qing Gang suppressed his excited heart and kicked the ground, quickly setting off towards the two distant cities.

Watching Qing Gang depart, Yu Zi Yu then turned his attention to the Mutant Beasts, and reminded them, “The Third Spiritual Energy Tide will arrive in 12-13 days. Make sure to adjust your states accordingly during this period.”

Stating this, Yu Zi Yu promptly sprang into action, without giving them a chance to ask questions.

*Boom, boom, boom…* Accompanied by fearsome tremors, Yu Zi Yu’s 100-meters-tall Tree Body emerged once again.

His roots, resembling Flood Dragons, spread in all directions.

After this, his trunk grew at a speed even more visible to the naked eye. Except, it seemed to be intentional. 

Currently, Yu Zi Yu’s Tree Body was actually far beyond the size of what it was before. As he grew bigger, his canopy also became denser.

Looking up, it even obscured the bright Moon hanging in the sky.

Fortunately, the Misty Mountains were perpetually shrouded in fog, or else countless Humans would have raised a hue and cry at this sight, simply because, at this moment, Yu Zi Yu’s canopy spanned over an area larger than a mid-sized city, and he was only growing bigger and bigger.

[Covering the Sky and the Moon… it really does live up to the name.]

This was the power of the Titan Clan.

After several simulations of the Titanoboa’s abilities, Yu Zi Yu finally gained an epiphany, indirectly applying the Titan Clan’s Innate Talent to his own body.

With the ability to ‘grow infinitely’, he aimed to block out the sky and cover the Moon, all to channel more Spiritual Energy when the Third Spiritual Energy Tide arrived.

This in turn would bestow a true blessing upon Misty Mountains.

When the time came, Yu Zi Yu wouldn’t hesitate to fully mobilize his Tree Form, and gather Spiritual Power from half the continent.

Cultivation was about competing against Heaven, the Earth, and other beings.

If this could benefit all of Misty Mountains, Yu Zi Yu believed that it would be worth it.

As for being despised by Mutant Beasts and Humans alike for stealing their opportunity, Yu Zi Yu did not care.

After the Third Spiritual Energy Tide, he planned to take Misty Mountains to other continents

As a matter of fact, he reckoned that most Humans and Mutant Beasts did not even realize the significance of the Third Spiritual Energy Tide. By the time they did, the Spiritual Energy Tide would have passed.
