A ripple of surprise swept through the chamber at Queen Elara's announcement, as the council members exchanged glances of astonishment.
The idea of including younger children in the exam was met with mixed reactions, with some expressing concern for their safety.
Queen Elara's expression softened, her eyes filled with unwavering resolve.
"Rest assured, my dear council members, that every precaution will be taken to ensure the safety of our children during the exam."
"The Orders of Guards and Army stand ready to intervene at a moment's notice, with the Sylvan Guard and Thornwatchers poised to protect our young ones from any potential threats."
A ripple of reassurance spread through the chamber as Queen Elara continued.
"Furthermore, all dangerous mystic beasts of the Whispering Woods have been isolated and contained."
"The remaining monsters and mystic beasts that the children may encounter during their exam have been carefully selected to provide them with valuable lessons in survival and cooperation."
"What do you mean by isolated, My Queen?" Talia inquired, her brow furrowing in concern.
"As you all know, the Whispering Woods is vast and teeming with life," the Queen began, her voice commanding attention.
"It holds countless mysteries, and since the birth of our kingdom, no one has ever fully explored its depths."
"Let me remind you all that the woods are divided into layers, from the first to the fifth."
"The first layer is the safest, inhabited mostly by F-rank beasts," the Queen continued, her gaze sweeping over the assembled audience.
"Moving deeper, the second layer hosts E-rank and some D-rank beasts, with E-rank beasts prevalent near the first layer and D-rank beasts closer to the third."
"The third layer contains C-rank and B-rank beasts, while the fourth harbors A-rank beasts."
"However, it is the fourth and fifth layers, known as the Disappearing Whispering Woods, that are the most perilous."
"The fourth layer may hold a few S-rank beasts, but not more than three, whereas the fifth layer is the domain of S-rank beasts," the Queen elaborated, her voice tinged with solemnity.
"Beyond the fifth layer lies the Nefil layer, though this is merely legend."
"To address your inquiry, Talia, we will erect an array barrier in the second layer," the Queen announced, her tone decisive.
"This barrier will be robust enough to prevent anyone from traversing or entering, ensuring they encounter only F and E-rank beasts."
"Their safety shall be guaranteed within this perimeter."
"Thank you, my Queen," Talia responded respectfully, bowing her head.
"Since the purpose of the exam is to qualify for entry into the Academy and to safeguard our children, a preliminary examination will be conducted," the Queen declared, her voice unwavering.
"Children capable of vanquishing F-rank beasts and causing E-rank beasts to retreat shall qualify for the Whispering Woods exam."
"Those who do not succeed may attempt again next year. We cannot afford to allow anyone to venture into the woods without assurance of their safety."
Queen Elara's proclamation resonated through the chamber, her voice unwavering as she declared,
"The exam shall commence in nine months' time, amidst the flourishing season of spring. The preliminary exam will precede it by one month."
"This prolonged period of preparation will afford our children ample opportunity to refine their skills and brace themselves for the trials that lie ahead in the Whispering Woods."
Her words lingered in the air, a solemn vow to both the council members and the populace of Verdantia.
"I harbor complete faith in the abilities of our children to navigate the perils of the Whispering Woods with fortitude and valor."
"Together, we shall ensure that this year's examination stands as a testament to their resilience and prowess."
"Before we disseminate this decree to the entirety of our realm, send forth invitations to the eight esteemed noble families, summoning them to the palace in one month's time," she instructed the elders with authority.
With a final smile and a nod of her head, Queen Elara turned and made her way to the balcony overlooking the bustling capital below.
As she gazed out at the verdant landscape spread out before her, a sense of pride swelled within her heart.
From her vantage point high above the city, Queen Elara could see the towering treehouses of Sylvaneth, nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Great Forest.
The sparkling rivers snaking their way through the landscape, and the towering mountains that loomed in the distance, all seemed to pulse with life and vitality.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the city, Queen Elara's eyes sparkled with pride and determination.
For in that moment, she knew that the future of Verdantia was in good hands, and that together, they would continue to protect and preserve the natural beauty of their kingdom for generations to come.
As Queen Elara gazed out at her beloved city, a sense of pride swelled within her heart.
With a serene smile on her lips, after some time of gazing, Queen Elara began to gradually unleash her nature magic aura.
It was a power so potent yet comforting, like a warm embrace from the earth itself.
As her aura spread, it echoed throughout Verdantia, enveloping the entire capital in its soothing embrace.
The scene of her beautiful aura was so captivating and comforting that it made the whole city pause in awe.
From every corner of Verdantia, voices rose in unison, shouting "Hail Queen Evergreen!"
The moment she unleashed her aura, every activity in the capital came to a halt as all eyes turned towards the council tower where she stood on the balcony, a radiant vision of strength and grace.
It was a sight to behold, a testament to her unwavering connection to the land and her people.

“War is truly a terrifying, unpredictable event sometimes,” the old veteran whispered, his low, gravelly voice drawing the immediate attention of the surrounding soldiers. They listened intently, the crackling of the fire emphasizing the gravity of his words. His eyes were wide, staring blankly into the dancing orange flames with an expression that looked as if he had entirely given up on the grand pursuit of cultivation itself. “How is it fundamentally possible for individual cultivators to attain that level of overwhelming, monstrous strength? I am completely certain that those three demonic masters could have killed every single one of us resting in this camp by simply gazing in our general direction from a mile away. Did you all feel the residual pressure radiating from that battlefield earlier? Some of our strongest disciples here were barely even able to breathe properly, their internal mana pathways completely locked down by the sheer weight of the aura.”He paused, lifti
Chapter 751: Silent Convergence.
A few minutes earlier, after Oasis, the Six Daggers, and the Six Eyes had safely navigated the dark expanse of the plains and reached the primary rally points of the Western Alliance, a completely different atmosphere enveloped them.At this sector of the frontline, rows upon rows of temporary leather tents had already been frantically pitched across the uneven terrain. The camp was a hive of chaotic, exhausting activity; wounded warriors were currently receiving different kinds of medical treatments, healers were rushing back and forth with pungent herbal poultices, and soldiers were doing everything they could to process the lingering, heavy tension of the war. This was one of the central staging and camping sites of the entire Western vanguard, providing a brief haven for the broken forces to find aid and release the profound psychological weight of the slaughter they had barely survived.Throughout the camp, a turbulent mixture of human emotions and fragmented thoughts hung thic

“Kenjiro is entirely right. We shouldn't be sitting here dwelling on useless speculations,” another one of the leaders spoke up, his deep voice carrying a stabilizing weight. This was Mabok Huano, the venerable leader of the Huano Village. He spoke while slowly brushing his long, thick beard, a classic physical habit of his whenever he was deep in thought. “We should focus our collective attention on tomorrow, for this war has only just begun. We may have won these initial frontline battles, but our ultimate focus must remain entirely on winning the war as a whole.”Mabok paused, his eyes reflecting the soft glow of the mana lamps as he maintained a great, unshakeable calmness. “Therefore, I also have a practical suggestion. We should immediately send a formal dispatch to call out that mysterious person to come here to our headquarters.""That way, we can properly understand their true stance in this conflict, discern exactly why they are aiding the Western Alliance, and determine
Chapter 749: Decompression of Reverence.
Meanwhile, at the sprawling, fortified headquarters of the Western Alliance, perched high atop the jagged, wind-swept peak of a towering mountain, another battlefield report was flying in with breakneck speed. The atmosphere within the grand strategic pavilion was thick with a heavy, agonizing tension that had been weighing on the commanders for hours.Suddenly, a blurred figure burst through the heavy silk entrance of the chamber, moving with frantic momentum before dropping hard onto both knees, bowing deeply toward the assembled leaders.“We have won! We have completely won this round of the war!” the messenger cried out, his voice pitched high with an overwhelming excitement. He spoke with a rapid, staccato delivery, the words tumbling out of his mouth so fast that he didn't even pause to take a breath or swallow his own saliva. He was visibly caught in a tempest of pure exhilaration and residual terror from an outcome that had seemed utterly impossible to attain just moments p
Chapter 748: Dawn of Attrition.
“Looking at him from this close…” Kyoku Shirabe thought to himself, his knee pressed firmly against the cooling, glass-like molten rock.While keeping his posture perfectly straight and his head deeply bowed, he dared to steal a brief, calculating glance upward at Oasis’s profile.“There is absolutely no room for doubt. He looks incredibly young. If I had to guess based on his physical features, I would say he is barely seventeen years of age. I myself am already twenty-eight, and yet he possesses this level of terrifying strength. Not only that, but he already has a child as old as Vesta! What kind of place is the Lunaris Sect to allow children to have children at that age? Unless…”A sudden thought struck Kyoku's mind, a desperate attempt to rationalize the absurd disparity in front of him.“Father always said that if I don't want to look like an old man, I must cultivate at an explosive pace so that my physical body can remain young even when I reach hundreds of years of age. Yes,
Chapter 747: Gathering of the Ashes.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM__________!!!!!!!!!!The entire massive war zone violently vibrated as the total, concentrated energy from the ultimate form struck the ground dead-center. The catastrophic discharge created a massive, incredibly wide crater in the plain, but unlike the prior attacks, the properties of this specific technique did not cause a messy eruption of earth. Instead, the intense, primordial heat simply ate away and dissolved the very composition of the ground itself. Terrifying, scorching shockwaves erupted outward in all directions, turning the entire surrounding environment into a glowing sea of bubbling molten stone as everything melted from the sheer, ungodly heat. Mezic’s severed left arm, which had been resting in the dirt, along with every single piece of debris and weaponry within the epicenter, was instantly turned to liquid slag. The heat wave rippled far outward, traveling even beyond the two-kilometer marker where Vesta and the others stood watching, forcing V
