Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!-Chapter 496 - 448: Something is very wrong today_1
On the way to the Wood Spirit Dynasty, Mu Wanqing asked:
"Sister Ziling, how should we address Senior Li?"
"Calling him by his surname directly in the outside world…might be disrespectful."
Now Senior Li…undoubtedly equaled a god of the Wood Spirit Dynasty!
Yet, they did not know his revered title.
Zi Ling pondered for a moment and then said:
"Hmm…someone once called Master ’Lord of the Desolate Heavens.’
"You can too."
As she spoke, she thought of Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the others.
"Sister Ling’er, Sister Qian Ning, they too have entered the Yang Realm, but I don’t know where they’ve gone… One day, when they hear these four words, they should know Master is here!"
Continuing to use Master’s former title would also provide a direction for old acquaintances.
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing was immediately overjoyed.
"Lord of the Desolate Heavens… This is the Supreme being we truly revere!"
Mu Rantian and Mu Nanshan murmured as well.
…
Finally, they arrived at the Wood Spirit Dynasty.
Mu Zhenkong led the group of officials to welcome them.
"Greeting the Empress!"
"Greeting the Empress!"
The hundreds of officials were extremely respectful.
Mu Wanqing, accompanied by Zi Ling, entered the great hall and said, "You may rise."
The officials promptly got to their feet.
"This young lady is…"
Mu Zhenkong looked at Zi Ling with curiosity.
Mu Wanqing introduced, "This is Ziling Maiden; she… is the disciple of the Lord of the Desolate Heavens."
"The Lord of the Desolate Heavens is the entity that bestowed us with everything!"
Upon hearing this, the officials were astounded.
"Lord of the Desolate Heavens… we have never heard this revered title, but it must be no less than that of Divine Spirits…"
"A mysterious and powerful being..."
The crowd murmured among themselves, each word laced with respect.
"Lord of the Desolate Heavens..."
Mu Zhenkong also said, "Sister Ziling, Your Majesty, may we construct a Divine Spirit Statue for the Lord of the Desolate Heavens?"
Everyone was very concerned.
But Mu Wanqing shook her head and said,
"From today on, no statues of gods shall be erected within the Wood Spirit Dynasty!"
"The Lord of the Desolate Heavens has said… Divine Spirits are nothing but void!"
The whole assembly was shaken.
Divine Spirits… nothing but void?
What audacity was this?
"By your command!"
Mu Zhenkong nodded.
"Has there been any significant matter in the court recently?"
Mu Wanqing inquired.
"The Festival of Respecting the Divine is three days hence, to be held in the East Desolate Three Gods Province!"
"Moreover, there has been news that Ghostly Beings appeared on the lands of the Eastern Wilderness, showing up in many small towns and such, preying on numerous Cultivators, but no ghostly disaster has occurred yet!"
Mu Zhenkong reported.
"Ghosts?"
Mu Wanqing contemplated but did not dwell on it and said,
"In three days, Ziling Maiden and I will set out for the Three Gods Province!"
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Within these three days, the Wood Spirit Dynasty abolished all statues of the divine and the news of not erecting any new statues spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness once more.
All the major forces paid great attention.
In the Three Gods Province, Sects like the Profound Water Sect, the Green Sun Sect, and others serving the Divine, as well as the Yangwei Dynasty, had already arrived.
They were intensifying their preparations for the Zhu Gui Formation as directed by the Green Sun God!

"Hehe, it seems indeed correct, only Ghostly Beings have no need for the scent of incense sticks!"
Sect Master Mo Xuan of the Profound Water Sect confidently spoke, the situation of the Wood Spirit Dynasty once again confirming the words of the Green Sun God.
"Furthermore, there have recently been reports of Ghostly Beings all over the Eastern Wilderness… It seems that the old ghost from the Burial God Wasteland can’t wait to come out?"
Sect Master Gu Changfeng of the Green Sun Sect pondered and said,
"We should speed up the preparations… This time, Divine Spirits will appear, and this ghost shall surely die!"
…
At last, the Festival of Respecting the Divine arrived.
Today, the Three Gods Province was bustling with activity.
Within the provincial city of the Three Gods Province, a massive Sacrificial Altar was pruned!
On the altar, two distinct statues of Divine Spirits stood tall and majestic.
The Green Sun God, the Mysterious Yin God!
All the major forces had arrived.
At this moment, Mu Wanqing and Zi Ling had finally arrived outside the city.
"This is the place… The light from the Crystal Chip is getting stronger…"
Zi Ling blinked and glanced at the Crystal Chip.
"The Empress Mu Wanqing of the Wood Spirit Dynasty has arrived!"
At the city gate, there was already a reception.
"I am Elder Wang Feng of the Green Sun Sect, specially here to welcome the Empress of the Wood Spirit Dynasty!"
The person was an elder from the Green Sun Sect!
Each Festival of Respecting the Divine was jointly hosted by the four major Sects serving the Divine.
```
"Please follow me."
Wang Feng smiled slightly and immediately led Mu Wanqing and Zi Ling into the city.
They had just entered the city when a chill wind whistled past the city gate.
The guards at the gate were puzzled for a moment, but they noticed nothing.
On the main street of the city, an old man in grey clothes had already appeared, his skin deathly pale, his eyes cold and sinister, emitting an eerie atmosphere!
Yet, no one around him could see him!
Because, he... was a ghost!
"Heh, Pegasus? I, Gui Qi, want to see... if it’s real or fake!"
The old ghost drifted along and soon arrived at the edge of the Sacrificial Altar.
He had just reached the place when suddenly, a lifeless light flickered in his eyes.
His gaze suddenly fixed on a young girl in purple clothes ahead of him!
"No, there is... a familiar scent on her... why?"
"A baffling familiarity, but... she also possesses a depth of power that is unfathomable!"
A serious look flashed in the old ghost’s eyes!
That familiar scent was fleeting, as if suppressed by some other, more incredible scent, preventing him from discerning it!
"No... she must have something on her!"
The old ghost stared unrelentingly at the girl in purple, then suddenly turned to look at the elder leading the way beside the girl in purple.
Wang Feng!
"It’s you."
The old ghost drifted away.
At this moment, Elder Wang Feng was saying with a smile:
"Miss Wanqing, we have already reserved a place for you on the Sacrificial Altar, please!"
He extended his hand to lead the way.
But the next instant, he suddenly felt a chill on his back!
His mouth stiffened, and right after, his entire aura subtly changed.
The hypocritical and warm smile on his face instantly became somewhat distant and stiff.
Mu Wanqing did not notice, and stepped onto the Sacrificial Altar indifferently.
But Zi Ling suddenly gave him a glance.
"Something’s odd..."
She muttered to herself, but didn’t think much of it.
Following suit, she stepped forward.
The Sacrificial Altar was a large circular platform, with statues of the Green Sun God and the Mysterious Yin God standing in the center.
All around were seats.
"Empress Mu Wanqing of the Wood Spirit Dynasty has arrived!"
As she ascended the Sacrificial Altar, a loud call immediately spread.
Instantly, the gazes of everyone around focused on her!
"Is this Mu Wanqing?"
"The subverter of the Wood Spirit Dynasty, and the disrespectful one at that!"
"She even destroyed all the divine statues in the Yellow Dynasty, what right does she have to be here?"
Many people began to discuss!
The destruction of divine statues by the Wood Spirit Dynasty was a significant event.
In the entire Great Ruins Realm, every power was expected to worship the Divine Spirits!
This had become a conventional custom and also a practical necessity, for divine spirits could manifest, and their power was supreme!
Now, the Wood Spirit Dynasty was truly an anomaly.
But Mu Wanqing was calm, she and Zi Ling continued towards their seats.
Wang Feng followed them closely.
"That old ghost... he followed, didn’t he?"
At this time, in the crowd, a concealed elder was watching Mu Wanqing’s group!
He was one of the controllers of the hidden Zhu Gui Formation, from the Profound Water Sect, aware of the purpose of this assembly.
His voice was extremely soft, barely audible, and both Zi Ling and Mu Wanqing did not notice.
But at this moment, Wang Feng paused for a moment.
Wang Feng at this moment... could not exactly be called Wang Feng, as the old ghost Gui Qi had already possessed him.
Now, "Wang Feng’s" eyes flashed with surprise, incredulous as he looked towards the direction of the Profound Water Sect elder!
He was a ghost... and a ghost’s perception of human language was terrifying.
"Could it be... he has discovered me?"
Gui Qi’s eyes held a trace of astonishment!
And when the elder from the Profound Water Sect saw Gui Qi’s gaze, he just smiled, nodding his head in acknowledgment.
"Damn it, he really did find me!"
Gui Qi was somewhat shocked. After all, he was an accomplished millennial old ghost!
Yet now, he had barely arrived and had been seen through?
No way, no way...
Regardless, he stiffened up and continued to follow Zi Ling and the others forward.
But after a few steps, "Wang Feng" was startled again, for he felt the same appraising gaze!
Something was terribly wrong. As an old ghost, Gui Qi felt today was very abnormal!
But what exactly was wrong?
No matter how hard he racked his ghostly brain, he couldn’t figure it out!
At this moment, Zi Ling and Mu Wanqing had already taken their seats.
"Everyone has arrived; the Festival of Homage can begin."
A resounding voice rose. The speaker was Mo Xuan, Sect Master of the Profound Water Sect, hosting this Festival of Homage, who now stood up and announced:
"This year, at the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony, we have a special gift!"
"The Yangwei Dynasty has prepared a Yin Spirit for the divine spirits - a Pegasus!"
He exclaimed loudly!
Immediately, the crowd was in an uproar!
