At that time, after the Yu Xu Dynasty forced their way in, Zhou Mu offered his Holy Dragon Blood, giving the Great Zhou Dynasty a chance to barely survive.
But it was only a temporary reprieve.
At that time, everyone in Great Zhou believed that their nation was probably doomed.
It was at this very moment that his father, the Great Zhou Emperor, decided to hold an ancestral worship ceremony, hoping for the blessings of their ancestors.
However, everyone knew this was merely a futile comfort.
The ancestral worship ceremony was held within the Imperial Mausoleum of the Great Zhou Ancestral Land.
And it was this very ceremony that changed the fate of Zhou Mu, and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
Because, during this ancestral worship ceremony, Zhou Mu unexpectedly obtained an item within the Imperial Mausoleum.
It was an ancient imperial seal.
What was important was not the imperial seal itself.
Rather, it was in the instant Zhou Mu touched the imperial seal, something directly entered his Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness.
Zhou Mu was astonished to discover that it was a small golden Dragon!
But that small golden Dragon did not appear to be a physical Dragon.
It was wreathed in mist, as if formed from golden Qi, dazzling beyond compare.
It seemed even more like the condensation of some kind of Luck!
What was even more miraculous was that after this small golden Dragon entered his body, his body actually began to generate scorching hot blood once more.
It was none other than the Holy Dragon Blood he had completely stripped away before!
Moreover, it was even more powerful than the previous Holy Dragon Blood.
It could be called the True Holy Dragon Blood!
Zhou Mu was completely stunned by this unexpected surprise.
However, his surprise was not limited to this.
As if due to the Luck bestowed by this small golden Dragon, Zhou Mu discovered a hidden stone door within the Imperial Mausoleum.
Behind it was a broken passage.
After venturing deep inside, Zhou Mu found a massive amount of resources: Medicinal Pills, divine weapons, Cultivation Techniques, and more.
These could not only be used for his own Cultivation but also for enhancing the national power of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
And even the Great Zhou Emperor was unaware of these things, or if he was, he couldn't open them.
Because that stone door required the imperial seal to open.
Only Zhou Mu, by touching the imperial seal, could obtain the small golden Dragon within it.
What surprised Zhou Mu even more was that at the end of this secret passage, there was a broken ancient formation, seemingly for teleporting to somewhere.
But due to years of disrepair, it was already shattered.
However, when Zhou Mu stepped onto it, the ancient formation suddenly activated, and the Void Realm instantly became unstable.
After that, he was actually teleported into an unfamiliar mountain forest.
And just as Zhou Mu was feeling puzzled, he encountered the most unforgettable sight of his life.
It was a young girl sitting by a small stream.
A section of her small leg, as smooth and delicate as jade, extended from beneath her skirt, immersed in the stream water.
Her small feet, snow-white and glistening, were gently playing in the water.
Just this alone was already stunning.
The girl's figure was slender like a willow, and although she didn't have any exaggerated mature curves, she appeared fresh, natural, and full of vitality.
And when Zhou Mu shifted his gaze to the girl's face, he was stunned, completely unable to look away.
The girl had a charming, oval-shaped face.
Her features were picturesque, her skin like snow, her lips like cherry blossoms, and her teeth fragrant like pomegranate seeds.
Her beautiful eyes, like autumn water, sparkled brightly, pure, elegant, and lovely.
Her skin was as white as snow, and soft as silk satin.
Zhou Mu swore he had never seen such a fresh and pure girl.
She was simply like an elf in the mortal world, untainted by dust, and he even felt that merely looking at her was a desecration.
It was worth noting that between the girl's fair eyebrows, there was also a mysterious pattern.
Far from detracting from her purity and beauty, it added a touch of mystery to her.
Beside the girl, there was also a small beast.
The small beast was entirely golden, with a tiger-like head.
Yet, it had scales and Dragon horns similar to a Dragon.
However, it didn't look fierce; it even had a hint of a clumsy, adorable feeling.
And that small golden beast was very perceptive; it immediately sensed Zhou Mu's presence and then roared towards him.
"Yuánbǎo, what's wrong?" the pure and beautiful girl, like an elf, asked.
Then, her beautiful eyes shifted, and she also discovered Zhou Mu.
"Oh..." The girl was surprised, seemingly feeling very unexpected.
"This young lady, I am Zhou Mu, the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I have unexpectedly arrived here..." Facing this beautiful, elf-like girl, Zhou Mu actually felt a bit awkward.
"Are you from the outside?" The girl showed a look of novelty, as if very interested in his origin.
"Tell me, what is the outside world like?" The girl's bright eyes were wide with curiosity, like a curious baby.
After that, Zhou Mu and the girl began to chat, gradually becoming familiar.
He also learned the girl's name: Luo Luo.
A somewhat strange name, yet one that perfectly matched her fresh, ethereal, and lovely temperament.
Zhou Mu really wanted to know where Luo Luo came from and where this place was.
However, although Luo Luo was simple and innocent, she remained silent on this matter.
Zhou Mu only knew that she had several Masters and had always lived here, never having gone outside.
She had never even seen the Major Thousand Worlds outside.
That's why when she first saw Zhou Mu, this outsider, Luo Luo showed such curiosity.
However, Zhou Mu instinctively felt that Luo Luo's background was not so simple.
Because he looked at the pet Luo Luo kept by her side, which was the small golden beast.
Although it looked a bit clumsy and adorable, no matter how he looked at it, it somewhat resembled the legendary Auspicious Beast, Pixiu.
Although he couldn't guarantee it was a pure-blooded Pixiu, it was clearly extraordinary and not something an ordinary person could possess.
And then, Zhou Mu also discovered that he could return to the Great Zhou Dynasty's ancestral Imperial Mausoleum through this broken ancient formation.
So, after that, Zhou Mu often used the broken ancient formation to teleport to where Luo Luo was.
Going back and forth, the two gradually became familiar.
Luo Luo also considered him a friend from the outside world.
However, Zhou Mu's intentions were clearly not so simple.
Both Luo Luo's mysterious background and her own being were extremely attractive.
Later, during a conversation, Zhou Mu also intentionally or unintentionally revealed the current predicament of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"What, your Great Zhou Dynasty is going to be destroyed?" Luo Luo seemed very surprised.
"Why do you kill each other?" She seemed to not quite understand.
"Just a generational feud," Zhou Mu sighed.
Seemingly seeing her good friend's dilemma, Luo Luo was also a bit conflicted, and then said, "Although I dare not ask my Master for help, I can ask some uncles to help you repel the enemy."
"But it's only repelling them, Luo Luo doesn't want anyone to kill."
"Really?" A glimmer of surprise flashed in Zhou Mu's eyes.
And after that, the situation was as the outside world saw.
The Great Zhou Dynasty, using the massive resources Zhou Mu discovered, cultivated and attracted many strong individuals, thus increasing their national power.
Then, in a major battle, mysterious strong individuals intervened, injuring the Jade Void Emperor and leaving him with a Dao injury.
It can be said that the precarious fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty was rewritten by Zhou Mu alone.
