Under Jingwei's insistence, Wu Wang slept for a full two days.

After waking up, he was full of spirit and his eyes shone with divine light. Not only had he fully recovered, but he also became immensely invigorated.

MSG Brand Great Wilderness Power Bank, exclusively for Wu Wang.

Sniffing carefully, her fragrance still lingered in the air.

The moisture that remained on the shoulder of his hemp clothes let Wu Wang imagine her little face as she lay there asleep; he couldn't help but crack a slight smile, which gave him even more motivation.

The Great Wilderness is quite nice.

It's just...

Wu Wang's neck was a bit sore from sitting and sleeping for two days; Jingwei 'suppressed' Wu Wang for two days, and her chin was a bit sore.

As soon as Jingwei vanished in a puff of smoke, Yun Zhongjun, disguised as the Sleep God, appeared in the corner of the tent with a smile, winking and raising his eyebrows at Wu Wang, who was stretching.

Yun Zhongjun chuckled and said, "With your level of cultivation, can't you dispel a little soreness?"

"Brother, you just don't get it," Wu Wang rubbed his neck and shook it, "this is all part of the experience."

Yun Zhongjun pulled up a chair and sat in front of Wu Wang, letting out a gentle sigh.

He said, "If you were to pick up the insights of the Yin and Yang Path left by Fu Xi, you could probably break into the Transcendent Realm with this cultivation session, and the curse on you could be lifted as well. I didn't expect that you would still follow your own path, putting the insights of the Yin and Yang Path aside and only working on them bit by bit."

"It's sustainable cultivation."

Wu Wang said with a smile, "When it comes to cultivation, only your own path can take you to the peak. I'm not an Innate God and lack the advantages of one, but in the future, I'll have to compete with the strong among the Innate Gods. If I relax the demands on myself, how will I win in the future?"

"Well said!"

Yun Zhongjun squinted with a smile and took the opportunity to tease him, "So, you're this confident that your own Dao surpasses the Yin and Yang Path? The concept of Yin and Yang explains all things in Heaven and Earth."

Wu Wang thought for a moment and countered, "Can the Yin and Yang Path explain where Heaven and Earth came from? Where did Yin and Yang originate?"

"I don't really know that," Yun Zhongjun spread his hands, "I'm not an expert in that path."

"My Dao might be able to explain it."

Wu Wang's eyes twinkled with faint starlight as he raised an eyebrow back at Yun Zhongjun; the latter showed a moment of stunned expression but then chuckled lightly.

"Then you work hard," Yun Zhongjun sighed. "It's good to be ambitious, but you also shouldn't confine yourself entirely to this. Let's have a casual chat before we get to the serious matters. Younger brother, in your opinion, during the previous God Eras, what kind of Innate God, among those who governed the order of Heaven and Earth, reigned the longest?"

"Mighty and domineering, overpowering all his peers?" Wu Wang replied offhand.

"Candle Dragon was such a supremely powerful god, absolute and arbitrary, but his reign during the Fourth God Era was likely the shortest."

Yun Zhongjun chuckled without beating around the bush and said warmly,

"The God Era that lasted the longest was actually the Second God Era.

"Although this was partly because the Innate Gods of that time were generally pure and lacked deep-seated personal desires—and there were no living beings in Heaven and Earth then—many Innate Gods only knew how to maintain the rules they were responsible for.

"Most of the Strong Gods in Heaven and Earth today, for instance, were born at that time.

"But later, the Second God Era saw an increasing number of innate living beings, creating a worldly landscape not much different from the present.

"Yet the Divine King of the Second God Era possessed great wisdom. He was flawless in his public righteousness but deliberately exposed some flaws in his private conduct.

"His Innate God subordinates, those who considered themselves wise, thought they could influence this Divine King.

"Those Innate Gods lacking confidence didn't feel too inferior in his presence and could always find some common enjoyment.

"Most importantly, through his own small flaws, this Divine King made the Innate Gods following him feel needed, even to the point of thinking, 'The King would be lost without us.'

"Do you understand now?"

Wu Wang's face showed a realization, "A mutual dependency?"

"Indeed," Yun Zhongjun smiled, "you should meditate on these matters slowly. If you wish to become an existence like the second Divine King, you still have a long way to go."

Wu Wang smiled and asked, "By the way, what was that Divine King's final outcome?"

"Missing without a trace."

Yun Zhongjun raised a finger and gently waved it.

"You shouldn't think too much about that. There's something you need to be aware of, and start preparing for it in advance."

"What is it?"

"The Southern Territory of Central Mountain and the Northern Border of the Human Domain have been bustling for three years, and various signs indicate that the Human Emperor is likely to take action."

Wu Wang immediately perked up.

He directly asked, "How soon?"

"I don't know," Yun Zhongjun said slowly. "I've already made some arrangements. Perhaps at that time, we might be able to stealthily extract some Divine Power. However, if you want to gain more Divine Power to help you achieve the Immortal Divine Body sooner, you'll need to make your own way."

"I object."

The voice of Cang Xue came from the side, and the entire tent was immediately sealed with numerous layers of strong prohibitions.

Ice-blue Divine Light blossomed as Cang Xue turned into a hazy figure next to the desk.

Wu Wang rose to his feet to pay respects, calling out, "Mother."

Yun Zhongjun also respectfully addressed the Ice God, not showing any discourtesy in his behavior.

Cang Xue spoke, "When Heaven Palace clashes with the Human Domain and Shen Nong takes action, it will surely be earth-shattering, and it's very likely that Strong Gods will fall. At that time, Heaven Palace will also be furious, and there will be a bitter fight with the Human Domain's experts. With your current strength, if you get caught in the clash of Strong Gods, you'd have a hard time even protecting yourself, let alone seizing Divine Power."

Yun Zhongjun smiled and said nothing, merely looking towards Wu Wang.

"Mother, this battle is a rare opportunity."

Wu Wang spoke slowly, his eyes showing unwavering resolve.

"If I just hide and cultivate, even if my Dao Realm is high, it's of no use. In the current state of the world, the Dao Realm exists to boost strength, and with strength, one can rewrite the order. I cannot always grow under the protection of Mother and the other seniors. If I do, I won't amount to much. Moreover, I will only act in secret, avoiding any impact on the Human Domain's decisions. In case of any trouble, I can also seek timely help from the Human Domain. Mother, there's no need to worry. I... am, after all, decades old."

Cang Xue frowned and said, "What does it matter if you're decades old? Innate beings are still in swaddling clothes, and when Innate Gods are first born, it can take them decades to form a few thoughts."

"This is out of necessity due to the situation."

Wu Wang laughed and said, "I'll sneak away later, and I'll need you, Mother, to take good care of Little MSG and Suqing for me, as well as figure out a way to conceal this from the keen eyes of those Human Domain experts. I don't want the Human Domain to know about this."

Cang Xue seemed to pause, as if having something to say but holding back.

Yun Zhongjun, standing aside, said, "Ice God, please rest assured. You needn't take action while you are stationed in the Northern Wilderness. I will protect our leader of the Heavenly Dao in secret."

"Mother," Wu Wang seized the moment, his tone becoming serious, "I am your descendant, and I have no desire to be a mediocre child of a god, tarnishing your reputation!"

Cang Xue immediately revealed a warm smile.

The hazy figure raised a hand, wanting to pat Wu Wang's head, but seeing another person present, gently patted Wu Wang's shoulder instead.

Wu Wang felt no sensation whatsoever.

She said, "You, ah, must remember to be careful in everything."

"Don't worry, Mother, I'm going to steal from their home, and I won't be confronting them head-on!"

"Hmm?"

"Some tactical jargon," Wu Wang looked towards Yun Zhongjun.

The latter immediately coughed and smiled, saying, "It's something that Brother Wu Wang and I have agreed upon."

"In that case, I am grateful for the care of the God of Yun Meng." Cang Xue slightly bowed to Yun Zhongjun, who unconsciously straightened his chest and lifted his head, his mouth curling into a confident smile.

This mighty god seemed to have completely forgotten how he behaved when he first met Wu Wang...

Where there's a will, there's a way. Those who lie down will eventually get up.

Wu Wang left as soon as he said he would, quickly slipping out of the Northern Wilderness.

Before leaving, he informed Lin Suqing and Jingwei that he would be going out for a while.

He repeatedly instructed that he would leave a false body in place, pretending to be in long-term seclusion; given that he had previously been in seclusion for over three years, this claim was credible.

The only potential giveaway was the reactions of Lin Suqing and Jingwei.

Both were understandably worried about Wu Wang's safety, but neither asked where he was going.

Lin Suqing did not need any explanation from Wu Wang; she just needed to know what to do next.

Jingwei, somewhat reluctant to see Wu Wang leave, hesitantly mentioned that she also wanted to come and see for herself, but of course, Wu Wang stopped her.

Steeling his heart and gritting his teeth, Wu Wang said in a low voice, "If I go there and come back alone, it will actually be more convenient."

"Then, I'll just wait for you."

"Mm," Wu Wang said, his eyes filled with a hint of apology.

Regrettably, despite the sentimental atmosphere that was starting to build, the two could only gaze at each other with deep affection, without the slightest touch.

Wu Wang chose a breezy and sunny afternoon, inside his own tent, to have the Whistling Serpent tear open Heaven and Earth.

Out of Yun Zhongjun's sleeves flew a wooden puppet that transformed into the likeness of Wu Wang, indistinguishable from the real one at first glance.

The fake lay on Wu Wang's bed, while another wooden maiden puppet approached, pressing down on the fake's arm in a convincing manner.

At the same time, Cang Xue's gaze settled on this place.

"Let's go," Wu Wang said softly.

The Whistling Serpent stepped into the fissure in Heaven and Earth first, followed closely by Wu Wang, with Yun Zhongjun covering the rear.

Once the three arrived on the other side of the fissure, the Whistling Serpent immediately closed the passage, and they found themselves in the heartland of the Western Wilderness of the Great Wilderness.

Yun Zhongjun said, "There are dozens of minor gods scattered across the Western Wilderness; we might as well pick one or two as practice targets."

Wu Wang asked, "What is the current situation between the Human Domain and Heaven Palace?"

"Shen Nong is likely to make a move," Yun Zhongjun pondered. "Over the past three years, the Human Domain's overall strategy has been to project power. Although many Human Domain cultivators were deployed beyond the Northern Border, there haven't been significant casualties thanks to the Human Emperor Pavilion's full mobilization. The strategies you previously employed in the Southeastern Region have been thoroughly understood by the Human Emperor Pavilion. To be fair, the Human race's abilities are truly formidable; they seem to learn things almost instantly."

Wu Wang smiled without saying a word.

Yun Zhongjun continued, "But recently, there have been several missteps in the Human Domain, and Heaven Palace has taken advantage of a few opportunities."

Wu Wang showed a moment of realization, "As expected, the old senior is starting to get serious."

The Whistling Serpent frowned at the side.

What does that mean?

But as Wu Wang's gaze shifted towards her, the Whistling Serpent immediately resumed a calm, composed, and confident expression, as if she had everything under control.

"The question is whether Heaven Palace will fall for it," Yun Zhongjun said solemnly.

"If it were just the Head Manager in charge, that would be one thing. Unfortunately, command of Heaven Palace's troops is in the hands of the Earth God. Emperor Shun is prepared for the Human Domain. The Human Domain has a group of old-timers nearing their end, and Emperor Shun surely cannot be kept in the dark about this."

Wu Wang nodded slightly, then said, "It all depends on how far Senior Shen Nong can push Heaven Palace. This operation mainly relies on adapting to circumstances; we must adjust our strategies at all times according to the overall situation. Brother, what do you think I should be careful about?"

Yun Zhongjun said, "To fool Heaven and cross the sea, you will need a new identity that leaves no one able to recognize you. You'll have to consider this matter yourself."

Wu Wang nodded and, folding his arms, was lost in thought for a moment.

At her side, the Whistling Serpent suggested, "Master, since your previous incarnation was a Golden Dragon, how about changing to a different incarnation... a Black Dragon?"

"How ugly that would be!" Wu Wang was somewhat dissatisfied.

The Whistling Serpent's face turned pale, clearly flustered, and she bowed her head, crying out, "Subordinate has overstepped, please punish me, Master!"

"Rise," Wu Wang said calmly, inwardly marveling at the overbearing nature of the Divine Spell.

Then, he turned to Yun Zhongjun, but before he could speak, Yun Zhongjun had already taken out a jade pot from within his sleeve.

Yun Zhongjun said with a smile, "This item is not much of a treasure, but it is quite suitable for you. Inside, there's a fragment of a Treasure Elixir. Wear it on your person, and it can change your aura and the rhyme of your Dao."

"This is indeed a fine thing. I won't stand on ceremony with you, brother," Wu Wang said and promptly snatched the jade pot.

Yun Zhongjun shrugged his shoulders, his feigned plump face, however, always wore a gentle smile.

He said, "Skimming perks off your own subordinates, you're one of a kind in the five God Eras."

"Hey," Wu Wang waved his hand grandly, "it's just that our organization hasn't grown strong yet; our power isn't fully formed. Today you give me a small encouragement, and tomorrow I shall return you a bright future!"

Yun Zhongjun's eyes were full of complaints as he huffed, "I'll go pick out a minor god for you to deal with. You should think about the techniques you'll use in the duel."

"This place..." Wu Wang glanced around and said, "Brother, you can find me later in the Women's Country. I'm going to visit an old friend."

"Old friend? The Women's Country?" Yun Zhongjun immediately leaned in close, mastering the Eight Trigrams Dao without a teacher, his eyes gleaming bright. "What's this, you're keeping secrets from your little MSG?"

Wu Wang kicked at him, while Yun Zhongjun burst into loud laughter. His body dissolved into mist and scattered abruptly.

No sooner had Yun Zhongjun left than a look of vigilance appeared on Wu Wang's face.

It was simply that while his older brother was present, he didn't need to worry about being detected by the outside world. Now that only he and the Whistling Serpent were left... he felt extremely insecure.

He took out two specially made cloaks and had the Whistling Serpent and himself don them.

He took the Elixir from the jade pot and placed it on his chest, right over his heart, thinking it might come in handy at a critical moment.

After that, he ordered the Whistling Serpent to transform into her true form, ten Zhang in length. He stepped onto the snake's back and plunged directly... into the earth, stealthily making his way to the Women's Country.

Ah, what a direct increase in my sense of security!

"Master," the Whistling Serpent asked softly, "Do you wish to hunt an Innate God for their Divine Power?"

Her voice could not conceal the thrill within it.

For a fierce beast like the Whistling Serpent, the adoration of the powerful was etched into her very being; due to the distortion of her mind by the Ancient Divine Spell, everything she considered was centered on Wu Wang.

If Wu Wang could rapidly grow stronger by hunting Divine Spirits, she, as his mount, would also gain considerable prestige. And she would feel exceedingly satisfied.

"Mm." Wu Wang calmly acknowledged her.

This was actually a plan Wu Wang and Yun Zhongjun had agreed on long ago.

He needed a false identity, and this identity would later be active on the stage of the Great Wilderness.

The upcoming battle between the Human Domain and Heaven Palace was the perfect opportunity for this 'alternate persona' to officially debut, and there were plenty of benefits to be reaped.

Before that, warming up in the chaotic battles among minor gods in the Western Wilderness, familiarizing himself with methods of dueling Innate Gods, and gauging his own strength were also crucial steps.

This was God Hunting.
