595 The War Begins

The wood elemental's report did not come as a surprise to the Lord, for he had long felt the presence of cultivators approaching Xin. What he did not expect, however, was for them to attack right away. After all, while cultivators were belligerent in nature, they too would take their time to discuss things before jumping straight into an all-out war.

Regardless, the Lord did not panic. While still sitting with his legs crossed, he once again closed his eyes, and allowed for his consciousness to expand through the natural mana. Like a ghost leaving one's body, his mind grew, becoming one with the entirety of the Lord's Palace, then the planet, its atmosphere.. The entire system.
