Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity Chapter 1104

Chapter 1104: Chapter 699: Hey, where did everyone go? _2 Chapter 1104: Chapter 699: Hey, where did everyone go? _2 “I wonder how the little bunny is doing lately…”

Cao Yu Sheng muttered softly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

That little bunny was really too naive. What if it encountered danger?

However, before leaving, the little bunny had said it wished to be admitted into the Holy Land. Unless something unexpected happened, it should be safe.

He had also wanted to join the Holy Land, but before he could enter, the voice of a senior suddenly rang out in his mind, directly telling him that he had a different path.

Recollecting his thoughts, Cao Yu Sheng's gaze shifted to another grave mound beside him.

It was Huang's grave.

Tens of thousands of years had passed, and the vitality accumulated within it seemed to be growing stronger, almost reaching a critical point.

“Let's wait and see. If we can't wait for Huang to return, let's bury ourselves again!”

Cao Yu Sheng said to the Big Black Dog beside him.

The Big Black Dog nodded, naturally having no objections.

Their time of silence this time wasn't short, and even if they buried themselves again in the short term, it wouldn't bring any progress. They might as well breathe some fresh air from outside.

“Having been buried for so long, it indeed seems fitting to move about a bit. Let's first go visit the Old Man, our master!” the Big Black Dog suggested.

It sensed something, likely contemplating achieving its ultimate transformation through many reincarnations, just like Fatty.

“That sounds good.”

What surprised Cao Yu Sheng and the Big Black Dog was that along their journey, they found no trace of King Huo Heng Burial, and the great hall was empty.

Not only was King Huo Heng Burial missing, but Sengzan and Shenming were also nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, both felt that the entire Burial Domain had become significantly emptier.

“What's going on? Did something big happen while we were in deep sleep?” Cao Yu Sheng, with a rather greasy face, showed a deep look of astonishment.

Throughout their journey, he was shocked to find that not only was their master, the Old Man, missing, but the number of Burial Kings in the domain had even reduced by more than two-thirds.

No wonder he and the Big Black Dog felt an emptiness inside.

With no one around, except for a few remaining Burial Priests, how could it not feel empty!

“Fatty, look, what's that?”

Just then, the Big Black Dog suddenly started barking excitedly in a certain direction.

Cao Yu Sheng had no doubts and immediately looked in the direction that the Big Black Dog's paw was pointing and was instantly stunned.

It was a palace.

Majestic, spanning the horizon.

It emitted a mysterious and solemn aura.

Under the night sky, the silhouette of the palace was faintly visible in the moonlight, almost like a gateway to another world. Tall stone columns carved with strange runes glowed with a dim light, invoking a sense of awe involuntarily.

What made Cao Yu Sheng freeze wasn't because the palace looked extraordinary, but because he simply didn't remember there being such a structure in the domain.

If his memory served correctly,
that location was originally a sand dune.

But now, aside from the towering palace, there was also an oasis stretching for who knows how many miles around the grand building, nothing like what he remembered!

“Little Black, could it be that someone pulled off a 'home stealing' while we were asleep?”

Cao Yu Sheng withdrew his gaze, his expression turning exceedingly serious.

“Home stealing? Fatty, did your brain get squeezed by a door? Shouldn't home stealing mean that things are missing, not that there's more than before?”

The Big Black Dog retorted, glancing at Cao Yu Sheng as if looking at a fool.

Cao Yu Sheng instantly became furious at the glance: “Do you believe I'll cook dog meat today?”

“I'll eat pork first!”

“Pork?” Cao Yu Sheng shouted and without a second word, pounced, and the man and the dog immediately tangled and fought together.

A moment later.

Two figures separated, Cao Yu Sheng holding a small tuft of dog hair, nearly plucking Big Black Dog's forehead bald.

But he himself was no better off, his already tattered Daoist robe now thoroughly shredded into strips of cloth, with several new paw prints across his face.

Neither man nor dog had used Divine Power, merely engaging in physical combat until exhausted, then both burst into roaring laughter.

Once the frustration in his heart had subsided, they looked again towards that majestic palace, their smiles gradually fading, replaced by solemnity and puzzlement.

“This palace and this oasis are not the Burial Domain we remember,” Cao Yu Sheng said solemnly.

“Indeed, the air here has changed; it no longer carries that solemn, deathly feel,” Big Black Dog also became serious, its nose sniffing the air, as if searching for some clue. “Especially near that temple, there is a more apparent vitality amidst the dead air, but this vitality is completely different from others.”

The two exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion and caution in each other's eyes.

This was the Burial Domain, existing for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, unchanged throughout the ages; such a dramatic shift surely denoted something of great importance.

The next moment,
without any hesitation, man and dog rushed forward.

“Only kings may enter the Emperor Burial Palace, others keep out upon pain of death by Kill Without Mercy!”

Cao Yuqiong and Big Black Dog sped up like a streak of light, but just as they approached about a hundred meters from the temple, a sound as loud as a great bell rang out, reverberating through the heavens.

The next moment,
a massive eye rent the heavens, like a galaxy pouring upside down, emerging from the void, its gaze making Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog feel as if their entire bodies had stiffened, plunged into an ice cave.

Instantly, both knew the owner of the massive eye was no less than a Quasi-King.

“Senior, we are disciples of King Huo Heng Burial!”

Cao Yu Sheng quickly introduced himself.

“Old Burial King's disciples?” The giant eye scrutinized Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog for a moment, and finally, the intensely warm radiance resembling the melting snow of the scorching sun disappeared.

“May I ask, senior, where has our master, the old man, gone?”

Seeing this, Cao Yu Sheng hurriedly asked.

Given such significant changes to the Burial Domain, the other party must know something.

“Old Burial King? He should still be in the Holy Land.”

The owner of the giant eye responded without dismissing them for their lack of strength.

“Holy Land?” Cao Yu Sheng blinked, a deep surprise flashing in his eyes.

Since when was there a Holy Land in the Burial Domain? He had never heard of it, and Big Black Dog looked equally baffled.

But Cao Yu Sheng seemed to realize something quickly, “Could senior be referring to the Immortal Domain's Holy Land?”

“That's the place!”

A booming sound came from within the giant eye.

“If you wish to find Old Burial King, both of you can go to the Immortal Domain on your own, but under no circumstances should you enter the Emperor Burial Palace. I am considering your safety; the overwhelming laws within the Holy Palace could easily annihilate you.”

Despite his sheer power, the owner of the giant eye seemed easy to converse with, and he did not forget to warn Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog.

“Rest assured, senior, we will definitely keep that in mind and will not step beyond Thunder Pond, but it's a bit strange–what is the origin of this Emperor Burial Palace? If I remember correctly, it wasn't like this before…”

“Indeed, it wasn't like this before. As for this Holy Palace, it was especially awarded to my domain for our sincere attitude and winning the Emperor's favor; only those who reach the King's Domain are qualified to enter!”

Along with the loud booming, a grand figure emerged slowly from the giant eye, carefully bowed towards where the Emperor Burial Palace was located under Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog's stunned eyes, then disappeared from their sight.

At the same time, the giant eye dissolved into a misty burial gas that merged into the surroundings.

Cao Yu Sheng and Big Black Dog exchanged glances, simultaneously inhaling sharply, feeling the originally warm and comforting burial gas now scalding to the touch.

Cao Yu Sheng felt his mouth dry, as if the world had turned upside down.

This sensation was like waking up to find himself having broken through Immortal Pass, turning into a True Immortal.

The Burial Domain had just been a hidden Forbidden Area,
but now it seemed about to join the dominion of the Immortal Domain's Holy Land, truly as surreal as a dream.

He felt this way, then how much more bewildered must Huang be upon awakening after an even longer slumber?
