"Thank you for your understanding, Dragon Master, but this old man still feels deeply apologetic to you..."

"Over the past year, your few wives, led by the Dragon King Hall, have annihilated ferocious beasts and guarded the four directions. The contribution to the people is enormous, and we are all well aware of it. Yet that little beast in my family dared to humiliate them. His death was too lenient. If he were still alive, I would have skinned him, extracted his tendons, and performed soul-extracting and spirit-refining on him!"

Wang Tengfei's eyes flashed with shock and fear, and then he immediately began to speak loudly with excitement and indignation.

It seemed he was not at all heartbroken over his grandson Wang Ye's death, but rather indignant over the experiences of Gu Xiyan and the others.

Upon hearing Wang Tengfei say this, Mu Jinyu, although knowing the other's purpose, still felt a little guilty inside.

With a light sigh, Mu Jinyu said, "You don't need to do this. Although Wang Ye had those intentions and acted upon them, he didn't succeed after all. His death is already the end of it, so let's put this matter behind us."

Gu Xiyan and the others also joined in to persuade.

Afterward, they learned from Mu Jinyu about Wang Ye's covetous thoughts towards them.

But as they weren't harmed, and even if Wang Ye personally attempted to kidnap them, with his cultivation in the Divinity Transformation Realm, even if Wen Rou and Gu Xiyan didn't take action, Mei Yinxue and others at the late Divine Transformation Realm Stage could easily counterattack and kill him.

Therefore, they only felt disgust toward Wang Ye, without any hatred or anger.

Moreover, since the other person was dead, and his grandfather had apologized while also blaming himself, they had nothing more to say and could only express understanding.

When Wang Tengfei heard that Gu Xiyan and they said they forgave Wang Ye, his expression became both comforted and guilty, and his sobbing gradually ceased.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Mu Jinyu spoke a few more words with him and then implicitly indicated that he could leave.

Wang Tengfei's expression suddenly turned serious again, and he said, "Dragon Master, to be honest, besides coming to plead guilty to you, I am here for another reason, which is to invite you to explore Mount Tai together."

"Explore Mount Tai?" Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, then relaxed, and he said, "Is there a need for this?"

His meaning was simple. The Spiritual Energy concentration at Yinlong Mountain, where Dragon King Hall is currently located, is no less than or even more potent than other Spirit Mountains, making it unnecessary for him to attack any famous mountains.

Moreover, even if he truly wanted to attack Mount Tai, would he need to join forces with Wang Tengfei?

Wang Tengfei's expression turned solemn, and he said, "The Dragon Master has just returned from Kunlun Ruins and might not know that Mount Tai is not as simple as it seems, only more mysterious than Kunlun Mountain..."

As he spoke, he reached into his bosom and took out several ancient, simple bronze fragments and bone fragments, spreading them out on his palm and saying, "Dragon Master, look, these are the treasure fragments I've acquired over the past year while exploring Mount Tai."

Mu Jinyu was slightly stunned upon seeing the bronze and bone fragments brought out by Wang Tengfei. His eyes then sharpened, concealing the brilliance that was about to burst forth.

The fragments of the Magic Treasure that Wang Tengfei had taken out, though eroded by time and stripped of Dao Rhyme and Power of Laws, were recognized by Mu Jinyu as fragments of Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures!

How could there be so many fragments of Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures on this side of Earth?

Were they the remnants of past battles fought by powerful figures from Kunlun Ruins who came to Earth, or was Earth's Spiritual Energy concentration in the past comparable to that of Kunlun Ruins, and the cultivators' cultivation levels were similarly at many Unity Realm stages?!

Mu Jinyu couldn't discern it, and various suspicions floated in his mind.

At this moment, Wang Tengfei suddenly switched the topic, saying, "Dragon Master, you just returned from the Kunlun Ruins. You've probably noticed that Earth's size has significantly increased compared to before?"

"Yes." Mu Jinyu, weighed down by thoughts but still listening to Wang Tengfei, nodded in acknowledgment upon hearing this.

He knew Wang Tengfei wouldn't ask these questions without reason. It must be related to him finding Heaven-reaching Treasure Fragments on Mount Tai.

And after returning, he indeed discovered that Earth's area had increased significantly, with both Kunlun Mountain and Yinlong Mountain being much larger than before.

It seemed as though Earth, previously a sealed planet, was now gradually becoming unsealed.

If Earth's size was previously like that of a quail's egg, then it was now at least the size of a dove's egg.

Although it hadn't suddenly become as large as a chicken's egg, there was considerable expansion.

Wang Tengfei said, "According to discussions with a few fellow Taoists, Earth is currently undergoing unprecedented cosmic changes unseen for tens of millions of years. Previously, Earth seemed to be sealed, the entire star covered with formations and restrictions. However, over the past year, for unknown reasons, various restrictions on Earth have gradually been destroyed, revealing originally sealed-off areas and resulting in the revival of Spiritual Energy..."

"After returning from Kunlun Ruins, Dragon Master, you must have visited famous mountains like Kunlun Mountain and Purple Gold Mountain? Because Kunlun Mountain borders the Kunlun Ruins, it naturally had countless restrictions within its mountain body, so you may not have been overly concerned after your return. And since you probably didn't visit Purple Gold Mountain before, when you saw the restrictions on Purple Gold Mountain, you might have thought they were set by the Master of Purple Gold Mountain and thus weren't particularly concerned..."

"But actually, these restrictions are also connected to parts of the area that have been sealed and folded up, which might be gradually released in the future to merge with Earth's current lands..."

Not only was Mu Jinyu listening attentively, but Gu Xiyan and Mu Hongchen also knew nothing of these matters and were listening to Wang Tengfei seriously and solemnly as he narrated these secrets.

Pausing a bit, Wang Tengfei then tossed the fragments of the Magic Treasure he held and continued, "After discovering these circumstances, a few fellow Taoists and I meticulously investigated the folded spaces within various famous mountains. We found that within every folded space, whether in Taoist sacred mountains like Mount Mao or Dragon Tiger Mountain, or Buddhist famous mountains like Mount Jiuhua, Mount Putuo, and Mount Emei, these spaces were teeming with Spiritual Medicines with ages ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of years!"

"This is the reason we could rise suddenly and surpass others at a curve!"

Saying this, Wang Tengfei smiled and added, "But thinking carefully, isn't this a very natural occurrence? After all, these famous mountains, with their Spiritual Energy far more abundant than the outside world, were folded and restricted without human or beast interference. Left to grow wildly for countless years, it becomes inevitable for such a situation to occur!"

"However, upon checking Mount Tai, we found that uniquely, Mount Tai's situation is different!"

Wang Tengfei shifted his gaze to the fragments in his hand, his expression turning peculiar and solemn as he slowly said:

"In Mount Tai's folded areas, only a small portion of Spiritual Medicines grows, and their properties are quite strange, not necessarily suitable for cultivation breakthroughs. Most importantly, unlike the barbaric and primitive lands in folds of other famous mountains, the folded region of Mount Tai resembles an ancient battlefield where the earth has been stained red with blood, with countless remnants lying silently in the wild grass. And these fragments of Magic Treasure are what I found after narrowly escaping death!"
