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

Chapter 495: Chapter 368: Who Can Be the King in This Life?_2

“We’re all brothers here. It’s just a dead body, after all. Once this trial is over, we will return to Liu Village and fully devote ourselves to pondering. At that time, Lord Willow God will surely guide us!”

Tu Wa Zi gave Shi Hao a pat on the shoulder.

Afterward, they spent a moment searching the place. However, apart from the willow leaves, they found nothing valuable.

Shi Hao felt a heavy sense of desolation.

Although he knew that these willow leaves were not left by the current Willow God but were testaments to a great battle of the past, this knowledge weighed heavily on him.

He couldn’t fathom the terror of such chaos. Even the Willow God had been severely injured and ventured into the Primitive Gate and entered an unknown domain.

He yearned to follow Willow God’s footsteps, giving everything he had, but he was still far from qualified.

If it hadn’t been for the secrets revealed by the Willow God during his visit to Liu Village, he might not yet have heard of the Alien Territory or the Dark Chaos…

This world seemed to hold many secrets unknown to most.

“Brother Tu, where do you plan to go next?” Shi Hao asked, overcoming his emotions.

He remained as steadfast as before. He was young, and only a short time into his cultivation journey. One day, he would reach unimaginable heights and catch up with Willow God’s footsteps.

“Since we keep bumping into each other, why don’t we stick together from here on?” Tu Wa Zi suggested after some consideration.

Although Lord Willow God had brought them to this burial ground, he had remained silent, not responding to their calls. They might as well follow Little Dot’s previous experiences – there might even be food to eat.

“I know a place where we might make some unexpected gains!”

Next to Shi Hao, a boy with a chubby appearance, Cao Yu Sheng, chimed in.

His origins were mysterious, and he had already ventured into these ruins. However, because of his personal cultivation practices, he stayed under the radar, but he knew quite a few secrets about this place.

“The place is known as the Burial City — filled with many secrets. Due to its mysterious nature, only a few dare to venture there. I didn’t plan on going originally, but now that we have joined the large troops, we could give it a try!” The chubby boy chuckled.

As he spoke, he glanced at Little Dot, winking his eyes. His face was round and chubby, but his eyes were lively. It seemed that he wanted to inquire about where Shi Hao met all his companions and wanted to be introduced as well.

Each of them was like a dragon or a tiger, all extraordinary beings. Each one was akin to the Inheritor of the Immortal Palace with unparalleled pride, wouldn’t they dominate their way through these Immortal Ancient Ruins? They would surely feast well and own any good stuff they found, wouldn’t they?

Shi Hao could only roll his eyes at Cao Yu Sheng’s antics, then introduced Little Fatty to the people of Liu Village.

“Such a great place exists, Brother Cao, you must take us there immediately!” Gu Chen was eager.

Moving swiftly, the whole lot arrived at a gigantic abyss – the Heavenly Abyss.

Within it was the Burial City, enshrouded by an extremely dense black fog. When they arrived, quite a few people were already there, carefully descending the steep cliffs.

Without any suspicion, everyone proceeded downwards.

However, shortly after, they were made aware of the terror of the abyss. As they descended, they heard whimpers from the depths and saw traces of past wars along the cliff. There were even fresh-looking blood stains, which had yet to dry.

Such scenes shocked everyone. They felt that the origins of this burial site might exceed their understanding as it appeared to be the site of some extremely terrifying clashes.

“Are there really any good things here?” Lin Hai frowned. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable here.

“I’m not sure about that, but legends say there are. Can you see that light in the deepest part? According to the legend, it might be some kind of Immortal Treasure!” Cao Yu Sheng scratched his head. He wasn’t entirely sure, as all the information he had was obtained through hearsay.

“If it really is an Immortal artifact, we must get it no matter what!”

The Flame Mark on Lin Hai rose, radiating a dazzling light that drove away the surrounding black fog.

From then on, everyone focused their minds. Since they were already here, they would have to explore the place before leaving. It didn’t make sense to leave halfway.

However, to be strict, the people from Liu Village were not really scared. After all, Lord Willow God had once told them that he would appear if they ever encountered a life-threatening situation. Moreover, according to the messages from Lord Willow God, it seemed that he had always been observing them from the shadows.

Soon, after dropping down a vast distance, a devastated city came into their view. Unlike what they had imagined, the city appeared to have fallen victim to war and time, turning into ruins. Broken walls and shattered stones were scattered everywhere. Once grand palaces were now mere ruins, with wreckage and remains of bodies visible in many places.
