"We welcome Sir to our humble village," Yavanna said respectfully and made a gesture, inviting Yun Lintian's group into the village.
"Thank you." Yun Lintian replied politely and started observing the village.
The village was full of trees and flowers. All the buildings were integrated with trees, arranged neatly with the Tree of Life at the center. At this moment, several children could be seen running around happily. When they saw Yun Lintian's group, they hurriedly stopped their movement and looked at him curiously.
What Yun Lintian surprised the most was he didn't see any male elf here. Could it be… there were only females here? Wasn't that perfect?
While Yun Lintian was thinking crookedly, a little girl with a twin-tail hairstyle ran forward and shouted happily. "You're back, Sister Yavanna!"
She had an exquisite appearance, like a porcelain doll. Her blue eyes were full of intelligence, compatible with her long emerald hair. Judging from her clean white dress, she seemed to have a high status here.
A gentle smile appeared on Yavanna's cold face. "Why are you here, Princess Nienna?"
"Hehe. I'm bored." The little girl, Nienna, shifted her gaze onto Yun Lintian and asked curiously. "Who are they, Sister Yavanna? Are they the legendary humans?"
"Yes. They are our guests." Yavanna replied.
Nienna stepped forward and lowered her stance. She greeted Yun Lintian's group politely. "Hello, esteemed guests. My name is Nienna. Welcome to our Wood Spirit Village."
Yun Lintian smiled and replied. "Hello, Princess Nienna. My name is Yun Lintian, and this is Linlin."
Guchang and others then quickly introduced themselves one by one.
Nienna smiled happily and turned to Yavanna. "Are you bringing them to see Queen Mother?"
"Yes." Yavanna nodded.
"Leave it to me then," Nienna said and turned to Yun Lintian. "Dear esteemed guests, please follow me."
Yavanna hesitated briefly and decided to follow along. In case something happened to Nienna.
Walking along the way, Yun Lintian encountered several villagers. From his estimation, this place should have around two or three hundred people. What puzzled Yun Lintian the most was their strength.
According to Eyes of Heaven, their strength seemed to be around Heaven Profound Realm, but the profound energy within their bodies differed from what he had seen in other practitioners.
"It's normal. They are using a different system from yours. For example, this Yavanna girl. Her strength can be compared to a human's Saint, but her ways of utilizing profound energy are entirely different. If I remember correctly, her realm should be called Grandmaster Realm." Hongyue's voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind.
"Grandmaster Realm? I see…." Yun Lintian immediately understood. After all, there were countless cultivating systems in this universe.
"You called it profound energy, but they called it nature's essence," Hongyue added.
Yun Lintian nodded thoughtfully.
A while later, Nienna led Yun Lintian's group into a huge residence built in a colossus tree. It could be compared to a castle in the outside world.
In a spacious hall filled with gorgeous flowers and butterflies, a beautiful fire could be seen leaning sideways on a wooden throne with her eyes closed. Her sitting posture was lazy and casual, without a queen's demeanor.
She was clad in a deep green floral dress, and the hem of her skirt was pulled a little upward due to her sitting posture to reveal a bit of ankle. Her ankles looked soft, silky, and so flexible they might as well be boneless.
Her long hair stretched all the way to her waist, and it had a kind of gentle green light lingering around it.
As soon as Yun Lintian's appeared in the hall, her eyes gradually opened, revealing a pair of magnificent eyes filled with infinite gentleness. Her countenance couldn't be easily described by words. If Lin Xinyao was regarded as the most beautiful woman Yun Lintian had ever seen after coming to this world, the woman before him could be counted as the most elegant woman in this world.
She looked at Yun Lintian and then at Linlin while curling her lips. Her smile was more gentle and beautiful than a blooming flower. It contained an indescribable charm that not even a sea of flowers could ever exude.
"Welcome Lord White Tiger God and her followers to our humble abode. My name is Iryena, the current Heavenly Wood Spirit Queen." The charming woman Iryena, said humbly. Her voice was like a melody of nature, easily calming any listener's soul.
Linlin glanced at her and responded casually. "Mhm."
Regarding outsiders, Linlin had always held an arrogant attitude toward them. Especially to the people Yun Lintian hadn't yet approved. No matter what status they possessed, she would never lower her stance.
Iryena wasn't dissatisfied with Linlin's attitude, as she felt it should be . How could a Divine Beast God communicate with an inferior existence like her?
What she was curious about right now was Yun Lintian. Judging from Linlin's appearance, this human youth had certainly gained complete trust from her. This was something extremely scarce, as everyone in the Divine World knew how prideful Divine Beast Gods were.
"May I know your name?" Iryena stood up and asked. As she moved, her bountiful assets were jiggled slightly, causing Yun Lintian to inadvertently glance at them.
Yun Lintian quickly shifted his gaze onto her face and said politely. "Greetings Her Majesty Queen Iryena. My name is Yun Lintian, and she is Linlin. These are my friends, Mu Qiuxue, Senior Guchang, and his son, Fan."
Iryena swept her gaze over everyone briefly and said with a smile. "Since you are here, I guess your purpose is Lord Tree of Life. Am I correct?"
Yun Lintian didn't hide anything. "Yes. More precisely, it's my goal alone. I am here to take Tree of Life away."
Mu Qiuxue and Guchang were startled by Yun Lintian's answer… How could he answer so honestly? While thinking of this, their bodies tensed up and prepared to enter the battle at any moment.
A strange light flashed across Iryena's eyes. She observed Yun Lintian from head to toe and didn't find anything special about him. This made her curious. Why did Yun Lintian say this?
Yun Lintian saw through her thoughts. He smiled and opened his palm gently. The next moment, three colored balls of light immediately appeared above his palm. They represented The Thunder, The Moon, and The Sun, respectively.
Iryena's eyes were wide open in shock upon seeing this scene. Her lips trembled as she uttered. "You are… The Beyond Heaven King's successor!"
