Just after entering school, you became an emperor pilot?

Chapter 406 Blessings from the Ancient Clan

"Master Lu, are you up?"

Ye Xuan's soft call came from outside the room.

After a while, the door opened and Lu Yun, who had finished washing up, appeared at the door. He looked at Ye Xuan helplessly: "I told you to just call me by my name, no need to call me sir."

Ye Xuan put his hands behind his back and smiled coquettishly: "That won't do. My dad will teach me a lesson if he sees it."

"You are now the most respected guest of the clan. How dare I disrespect you?"

Today, Ye Xuan had her hair tied up high and was wearing clothes full of the traditional colors of the Night Spirits.

The main color of the dress is an elegant blue-green, complemented by delicate and exquisite gold embroidery. As she moves, it sways gently, reflecting starlight.

It looks full of ancient charm, and also reveals a sense of technology and nobility.

She was completely different from her previous lively and enthusiastic self.

Lu Yun couldn't help but be amazed and asked with a smile, "You are dressed so formally, is there something important?"

"Yes."

Ye Xuan stepped aside to let Lu Yun out, then closed the door for him and led the way: "Dad plans to integrate the ancestral tree seeds into the ancestral tree today to revive the ancestral tree.

This is a crucial moment for the future of our tribe. The entire clan will be attending the ceremony. As the Night Spirits' savior, my father specifically instructed that you must be present as well."

"You can't refuse."

Ye Xuan knew that Lu Yun didn't like these lively occasions, so he spoke in a soft tone with sparkling eyes, making it hard for people to refuse him.

Lu Yun had long been interested in the ancestral tree of the Night Spirit Clan.

Although he had seen it once in the ancient ruins of the Tidal Bridge, it was just a tree species left over from previous eras, and was far less magical than the ancestral tree that the Night Spirits had carefully cultivated with their entire tribe.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to invite him, he naturally would not refuse.

As soon as I walked out of my residence, I saw Ruiyun coming out as well.

"Good morning, Lu Yun."

Ruiyun greeted him, and then saw Ye Xuan next to Lu Yun, and his eyes widened.

"Greetings, His Highness Ruiyun." Ye Xuan bowed slightly.

"Ahem, no, no need to be so polite."

Ruiyun covered his mouth with his fist and coughed lightly, then stood straight and nodded slightly.

Ophelia, who was coming from behind, couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

"Lu Yun, are you also going to watch the ceremony?" she asked.

"You also know?"

"Yes, Chief Ye sent someone to inform us early in the morning." Ophelia smiled and nodded: "Let's go together."

"You guys follow me."

Ye Xuan led the way in front.

One after another, figures walked out of houses with their own characteristics. When they saw Ye Xuan, Lu Yun and others, they stopped and saluted from a distance.

"Good morning, Councillor, and His Highness the Sixth Prince."

"Greetings to the Councillor, His Highness the Sixth Prince."

"Good morning……"

……

Through the mountains.

Shrouded in clouds and mist, the ancient and mysterious forest quietly appears before your eyes.

One after another, figures, some walking alone, some in groups, walked towards the towering tree with piety.

Every step seemed solemn and heavy.

The sunlight shines through the sparse branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows.

Walking in this forest and smelling the vast atmosphere, Lu Yun felt his mind inexplicably calm down.

Even Ruiyun, who prefers to be active and cannot sit still, shut up and walked quietly.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, and every step made a rustling sound, as if history was wailing.

Desolate and dilapidated.

Before seeing this dense forest, Lu Yun didn't realize how serious the Night Spirits' decline in vitality was.

It was not until he was there and looked at the dead branches that Lu Yun realized that the Night Spirits did not have much time left.

They finally arrived in front of the legendary ancestral tree.

Ruiyun's heart trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

What appeared before their eyes was far from the mythical scene that towered into the clouds as everyone had imagined, but a rotten willow tree with thousands of drooping branches, no green on the branches, and a look of decay. It was only about four meters tall and as thick as two people could hug together.

The ground was covered with rotten branches, among which were kneeling old figures.

They took scissors and carefully trimmed every dead and rotten branch bit by bit.

It seems that this can delay the decline of the ancestral tree.

"This is... the origin of our race and the destination of our souls."

Ye Xuan's eyes were hazy, and a pilgrim look appeared on his delicate face.

After a pause, she gave a wry smile and turned to look at everyone: "Are you disappointed?"

Lu Yun said nothing, but walked closer to the willow tree.

Although it does not have a huge body that towers into the clouds, its bark is engraved with traces of time and delicate totems.

Every totem seems to be telling an ancient secret.

Lu Yun lowered his head and found a small stone altar in front of the ancestral tree. The middle of the stone altar was slightly concave, so there should be something inside, but it was empty at the moment.

There was an indescribable aura in the air. Under this aura, Lu Yun felt as if his soul was awakened and resonated with everything around him.

He could clearly feel the emotions stirring around him.

tread, tread, tread...

Ye Changge, wearing ancient costumes, appeared behind Lu Yun with a group of Ye Ling clan leaders and elders.

His face showed piety and awe. Holding the ancestral tree seeds in his hands, he walked step by step behind Lu Yun.

"grown ups."

Ye Changge called softly.

Facing that clear gaze, Ye Changge lowered his head slightly and held up the seed: "My Yeling Clan has been able to regain hope thanks to your help, so I have a humble request. Could you please place the ancestral tree seed in front of our clan's ancestral tree?"

Lu Yun was slightly surprised. Looking at the respectful gaze, he nodded slightly: "Okay."

Then he picked up the emerald green seeds.

After a few days of rest, the seeds of the ancestral tree have regained their emerald green color, and are full of vitality.

Needless to say, Lu Yun already knew what to do.

He gently pinched the seed and placed it on the small stone altar.

hum-

A rippling green light appeared on the seeds.

The branches covering the ground were like veins, carrying light and flowing everywhere.

One after another, figures walked out of the dense forest, holding wooden offerings in their hands, with pious and awe-inspiring expressions, chanting ancient sacrificial songs in unison.

Lu Yun could not understand the ancient language of the Night Spirits, but he was unknowingly immersed in the pervasive waves of emotions.

Gradually, Lu Yun fell into a strange state. His soul seemed to leave his body, and his vision rose, taking in the entire ancient jungle.

He saw figures praying in the dense forest and saw the piety on each of their faces.

Ye Xuan took out a piece of green willow branch from somewhere and held it in his hand. Barefoot, he danced around Lu Yun with mysterious steps in the sunshine and singing.

The hairpin fell off, the hair flew, and the dress swayed.
