Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 494: Chapter 368: Who Can Be the King in This Life?_1

The ground was dark and covered in fallen leaves. These were no ordinary leaves. Coated with the mysterious power of the Burying Ground, they possessed a kind of preservative power. Even after countless years, they still seemed as fresh as when they first fell.

The Banished Immortal walked forward, his body floating about half a meter above the ground. Every step he took rippled through the void like ripples spreading across the surface of a pond.

He was serene and elegant, his skin seemingly radiating light. His chiseled face was flawless–an embodiment of perfection. An aura of etherealness surrounded him, as if at any moment he could transform into an immortal. As he approached Tu Wa Zi, Shi Hao, and others, he spoke with a surprisingly gentle tone, like that of old friends discussing matters. His words were not easy to despise.

He was a mysterious, world-renowned prodigy hailing from the Eternal Family. Among the most powerful ancient aberrations of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he was ranked with the Ten Crown King and was the aspiration of numerous people of the opposite sex. Possessing both the complete True Phoenix Technique and the secret technique of the Heavenly Horned Ant Clan, his fortunes defied the heavens. Any average prodigy would prosper even with only half a technique, let alone two complete, invincible Treasured Techniques.

Now, this usually aloof man had taken the initiative to speak, inviting Shi Hao, Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, Lin Hai and others. This act caused surprise and shock in the hearts of the prodigious talents who were passing by.

However, they dared not inquire or eavesdrop. Each one in the group was no simple character, any one of them could easily suppress them. They weren’t their place to judge, or they risk being dealt with on the spot.

“Thank you for the warning, but we believe we can survive the chaos unscathed!”

Tu Wa Zi and the others replied with a smile, their knowledge of the “chaos” in his words. But with the protection of Lord Willow God, everyone felt oddly reassured and did not dwell on this matter.

Although they were all surprised as to why this young man took the initiative to speak, his speech and demeanor were respectable. Even though he came from the Eternal Family, he did not put on airs. Therefore, there was no tension between him and the residents of Liu Village.

“In that case, I wish you all good luck!”

The Banished Immortal paused for a moment before nodding subtly.

Although he was surprised by their confident and concise rejection, his personality beckoned him to let it pass. Apart from the matters he was passionate about, anything else seemed transient, fleeting in his eyes, not worthy of his full attention.

Moreover, to have taken the initiative to start a conversation was already a rare event for him.

The Banished Immortal arrived in a hurry and left just the same, disappearing from everyone’s sight in an abrupt manner.

“Brother Tu, I heard you guys obtained a celestial corpse?” Shi Hao suddenly asked, lowering his voice.

“Yeah, we did get something. However, Lord Willow God hasn’t checked it out yet. We’re not sure if it’s a celestial corpse. It looks extraordinary, but its true identity remains to be verified. But when we found it, there were people from the Heaven there. They wanted to rob us, but we killed them and had them for dinner.

You don’t know, that prodigy from Heaven was actually a Purple Golden Mantis. Although the shell was hard, honestly, the meat was absolutely delicious. Once you taste it, you will never forget it!” Tu Wa Zi said with a laugh. As he spoke, he couldn’t help but salivate, seemingly recalling the taste.

Shi Hao was intrigued, feeling his taste buds stimulated. He secretly thought that he should try to capture some prodigies from Heaven to taste. He could not let Tu Wa Zi and the others look down upon him.

Luckily, the Sect Hierarch of Heaven did not hear this. Otherwise, he would have been infuriated.

They were the Heaven, who deemed themselves as superior as the sky, one of the oldest Taoist Orthodoxy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the dignified Assassin Temple. The Deity’s Child among them could make any power or heroes tremble. Yet, in their mouths, they had become a meal – if this got out, the face of Heaven would be desecrated and its longstanding prestige damaged.

Inside the Burying Ground.

Upon returning to his senses, Shi Hao was still mumbling about the celestial corpse, clearly very interested.

When he entered the Burying Ground, he too noticed the colossal corpse floating in the sky. Its entire body was transparent, making it seem alive. His intuition told him that the corpse concealed unimaginable secrets. If understood, it might lead to immortality. However, the red, terrifying runes around the corpse prevented him from getting near. The runes could vaporize his body instantly. To his surprise, Tu Wa Zi and the others had obtained that corpse.

Everything seemed to be because of the bag.

Shi Hao suddenly thought of the White Tiger he encountered in the Lower Realm from Xiling Beast Mountain. It had a grey Beast Skin Bag that seemed extraordinary, supposed to be called the Qiankun Bag, capable of containing a celestial body. He thought about snatching it but, for some reason, the White Tiger became Tu Wa Zi’s mount and got ahead of him.
