I’m Really Not A Supreme Master!

Chapter 490: Punish the Evil and Promote the Good

The rice paper unrolled.

A surge of qi horizontally spanned the Sky Domain.

In that instant, the Imperial City of the Wood Spirit Dynasty, and even the entire nation, trembled with fear!

“What is this thing?”

“Such a terrifying surge of qi, could it be a Divine Edict from the Divine Spirits?”

“No… Too terrifying!”

Beneath the Imperial City, nearly all the mighty had already involuntarily knelt on the ground!

Even powerful individuals like Mu Qingsong and Si Dong Daoist found it irresistible.

This was an overwhelming spiritual pressure that could not be resisted; submission and worship were the only options!

“What is this thing?”

Mu Qingsong asked in horror!

And Si Dong Daoist was even more astounded as he said,

“Incredible, this… this seems like… a Divine Edict? Do they have a Divine Spirit behind them?!”

As his words came out, everyone around was even more stunned!

A Divine Edict?

Was there a god behind Mu Wanqing and the others?!

This was earth-shattering news!

It is known that, in the vast Great Ruins Realm, throughout ancient and modern times, only a handful have become Divine Spirits, countable on one’s fingers, all recorded in mythologies, and moreover, worshipped by the myriad creatures of the Great Ruins Realm!

And the Sects that were favored by the gods were all top-tier forces.

Such forces could easily destroy an Imperial Dynasty.

“How can this be… Isn’t the ancestral village in the Burial God Wasteland? How could they possess a Divine Edict?”

“Impossible! The Burial God Wasteland is a forbidden place where even Divine Spirits cannot tread; how could there be a Divine Spirit there?!”

“It’s over, no matter what, once the Divine Edict appears, no one can be its match!”

Everyone was in extreme terror.

And in the Sky Vault above.

Ancestral Elder Mu Xuanfeng of the Wood Spirit Dynasty felt that terrifying surge of qi and his face underwent a drastic change.

He hastened to take out many things.

There were pieces of broken armor, ancient bronze bells, and so on; these were all Ancestral Artifacts that his Wood Spirit Village ancestors had obtained from the depths of the Great Wilderness and later brought out of it!

“Ancestral Artifacts, save me!”

He shouted out loud, all the Ancestral Artifacts erupting forth.

A few of them even demonstrated an immense might.

But in Mu Wanqing’s hand, the scroll had now fully opened.

There were four characters!

“Punish Evil, Promote Good!”

In that moment, the Heavenly Dao roared, the Myriad Dao descended; these four characters seemed to be commanding all the paths of the world!

The surge of qi fell.

In Mu Xuanfeng’s hands, those many precious Ancestral Artifacts burst open at this moment!

“Bang, bang, bang!”

All of them exploded!

Mu Xuanfeng himself let out a piercing scream and fell from the sky.

“Boom!”

He crashed onto the ground, and dust flew in all directions.

And the supreme surge of qi now enveloped everything like a cascading waterfall, leaving no one who could escape.

“Ah!”

“No, my cultivation level has been slashed…”

“I’ve become a useless person…”

In the Wood Spirit Dynasty, countless people wailed in agony!

Especially those Law Protector Elders and the like, who had always harbored ill intentions; their cultivation levels were now completely gone, obliterated by the undetectable Laws!

“Why… why!”

Mu Qingsong was seething with rage, his eyes filled with unwillingness, but under the obliteration of the Laws, he was like an ant, completely disabled.

“It has nothing to do with us, why involve us? No… Spare my life!”

Si Dong Daoist’s face changed dramatically, he didn’t understand why, although he had never made a move, he was implicated, and now his cultivation had been erased.

Not just here.

In the entire Imperial City of the Wood Spirit Dynasty, in the streets and alleys, and even in the mountains and wilderness, wherever people were found, they all prostrated under this imposing qi.

All who harbored harmful intentions faced this calamity!

This… was the punishment of evil!

And within the countless crowds in the Imperial Palace, there was one person, blessed by the Dao that surged into his being, anointing his body, his cultivation level erupting!

Mu Zhenkong!

His nearly withered Dao body, his lost cultivation level, at this moment, was actually completed by heaven and earth!

This was the benevolence of the Dao!

This… was the reward of the good!

In an instant, his cultivation realm, which had been ruined, was revived.

Dao Fusion Realm, Condensed Spirit Realm, Refining God Realm…

Ultimately, with the assistance of the numerous Paths, he had instantaneous enlightenment!

“Good and evil are distinct, only by holding true to your own heart, fearless of everything, can one… also reach the Divine Passage!”

He howled to the heavens!

Breaking through… into the Divine Passage Realm!

All present were dumbstruck!

What was even happening!

“The will of the Divine Spirit… those who follow shall thrive, those who resist shall perish!”

Si Dong Daoist murmured, at this moment he completely understood.

This… was definitely a Divine Edict!

Only a Divine Spirit could do this, could command at a mere thought to punish evil and promote good.

Good is rewarded with good, evil is met with evil… only with the real appearance of a Divine Spirit, does this saying truly come into effect.

And in the Sky Vault above, Mu Rantian, Mu Nanshan, and others witnessing this scene were completely shocked.

They all knew that the item bestowed by Senior Li was anything but ordinary.

But they had not expected it to be… this terrifying!

Moving the Laws of heaven and earth, discerning the goodness and evil within the human heart…

No one could escape!

Moreover, once the Edict was unleashed, even they were covered within it!

Mu Rantian advanced further, directly reaching the perfect state of the Condensed Spirit Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Refining God Realm.

Mu Nanshan reached the seventh heaven of the Spirit Condensation!

And Mu Wanqing herself, was also so, stepping into the Condensed Spirit Realm, reaching the eighth heaven!

“Goodness and evil in the heart are not unseen, in the dim light they are as clear as day… beneath the Edict, I clearly saw, some hearts are dark, therefore their bodies endure the chaos and distortion of the Laws, others desire brightness, thus they are in harmony with the creation of heaven and earth…”

The omnipresent grape phantom images, like the endless evolution of great Dao, had received the laws of heaven and earth and entered the Refinement God Realm. At this moment, it uttered an ancient murmur:

“This Senior Li… truly a divine being!”

Mu Wanqing looked at the proclamation in her hand, a complex expression fleeting across her face.

Senior Li… what realm is he truly at?

At this moment, the momentum was set.

She took a deep breath and put away the proclamation.

Only then did the energy between heaven and earth slowly dissipate.

Meanwhile, everyone in the Imperial Palace was still kneeling on the ground.

Guests from various powers, officials of the Imperial Dynasty, members of the Green Sun Sect, and others…

A large part of them had been crippled.

Only a few, whose cultivation had not been cut off, and an even smaller number, like Mu Zhenkong, had experienced a terrifying increase in their cultivation.

Mu Wanqing floated down from the sky.

All eyes fell on her, filled with reverence and worship.

“The messenger of the divine spirits…”

“No wonder, no wonder that even after having her celestial body seized, she could be undying… she has divine spirits’ favor.”

The crowd murmured to themselves.

“Our Wood Spirit Dynasty is finished… totally finished.”

“Had we known she had divine spirits behind her, it wouldn’t have come to this, it wouldn’t have come to this!”

“Our Wood Spirit Dynasty, in an effort to climb up to the Servant God Sect, actually made a move against someone favored by divine spirits, how foolish, how ridiculous, haha, ignoring the near to seek the far, taking a path to our own doom, a path to our own doom!”

The people of the Wood Spirit Dynasty were filled with extreme regret at this moment!

“Spare us, spare us!”

Elder Mu Xuanfeng struggled to rise from the ground, his old face full of fear as he said:

“Miss Wanqing, I’m not involved, it was all done by these unworthy descendants, don’t kill me, please don’t kill me!”

He was completely terrified.

“I, Mu Qingsong, wholeheartedly worked for the dynasty… and yet I ended up on this road of no return…”

The face of Mu Qingsong was filled with despair, as tears streamed down!

I’m finished… the entire dynasty is finished!

Yet, Mu Wanqing was utterly cold.

Step by step, she walked towards Mu Wanxiu.

“…What, what are you going to do? Get away, get away!”

Mu Wanxiu trembled, filled with immense fear.

“Thank you for teaching me one thing,”

Mu Wanqing spoke, saying:

“How to deal with evil people.”

Having said that, she raised her hand.

Mu Wanxiu’s chest split open!

Blood flowed freely.

She let out a piercing, tragic cry, and then, she was dead.

“Wanxiu!”

Shangguan Tongruo rushed over, her originally beautiful and noble face now full of tears of regret, as she held the body of Mu Wanxiu.

“Mu Wanqing, you wretch, you killed my daughter, you won’t die a good death, you should be cut by a thousand knives…”

Mu Wanqing said:

“Did you know that it was you who caused the death of your daughter?”

“However, I still thank you for your curse.”

Then, she raised her hand.

Shangguan Tongruo was decapitated!

Murder!

Her heart was as firm as iron.

Now, she understood that only by punishing evil can one promote good. If evil people are not punished, then the efforts and innocence of good people will only be exploited by the bad!

This era punishes the good and rewards the bad.

The honesty of the majority can only serve the cunning of the few.

The risks taken by the majority can only create benefits for the few.

The labor of the majority can only serve to enrich the few.

Only by becoming someone with a sword in hand and the courage to wield it can one truly talk about protecting the virtuous.

This was the truth she discerned from the four-word Edict of Senior Li!

In the end, the Wood Spirit Dynasty was overthrown!

The people of the Green Sun Sect and other major forces were expelled.

“It’s wonderful, so wonderful!”

Mu Zhenkong’s tears of joy were muddled as he looked at Mu Wanqing and said, “Fortunately, everything has been salvaged… otherwise, I truly deserve death!”

He had been burdened with immense guilt, feeling relieved only now.

“Elder Mu, this incident has nothing to do with you. If it weren’t for your use of your own origin to save Wanqing’s life, she would have died. You have no reason to feel ashamed,”

Mu Wanqing spoke.

Mu Zhenkong nodded and said, “Now that the dynasty has no leader, Miss Wanqing… I think, you should ascend to the throne!”

His eyes were full of passion as he continued:

“Only you can lead the entire dynasty!”

At these words, Mu Wanqing was taken aback.

“Me?”

She looked up at the dragon throne above her, somewhat at a loss.

Beside her, Mu Rantian also nodded, saying:

“Senior Li asked us to leave Wood Spirit Village, clearly wanting us to establish our own power in the Eastern Wilderness!”

“Only by doing so can we better serve his old self!”

“And you, as the person chosen by Senior Li, Wanqing, should not hesitate!”

Upon reflection, Mu Wanqing also fell silent for a long while.

“My life, everything I have, was given by Senior Li.”

“All I wish for in this life is to partly repay Senior Li’s great kindness. I am willing to ascend to the throne!”

Mu Zhenkong was immediately thrilled!

That very day, he gathered the clan members of the dynasty whose cultivation had not been abolished to pay homage to Mu Wanqing.

At the same time, the people from Wood Spirit Village finally arrived.

The Wood Spirit Dynasty, the Empress ascended to the throne!

The events that transpired in the Wood Spirit Dynasty spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

Instantly, the whole world was watching!
