Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118: Chapter 709: An Encounter with Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi Chapter 1118: Chapter 709: An Encounter with Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi “`
In the mountains, there are no years or cycles, a single year spans a sexagenary cycle.

With eyes tightly closed, decades hustle by in a blink.

The vast bamboo forest sways gently in the wind, stirring into motion.

Yet Jiang Hui remains statue-like from beginning to end, seated motionless amidst the dense bamboo.

Even as bamboo leaves cloak his body, and his cheeks are layered by frost and wind.

Maintaining such a state, decades pass unnoticed.

On this day.

Jiang Hui suddenly opens his eyes that were once tightly shut.

In that instant.

A faint vastness spreads.

Like the bright moon, luminous, yet at the same time, it also possesses the unfathomable depth of an ancient well.

Two distinct temperaments emerge simultaneously in his eyes.

“I've done it,” Jiang Hui exhales deeply, his body suddenly emitting cracking sounds, like popping soybeans.

Soon, all noises cease, revealing Jiang Hui, who already seemed like he could ascend to immortality at any moment, now with an even more extraordinary aura.

Without direct confrontation, merely as a backdrop, one could feel the surging Immortal Qi, hiding an unimaginable supreme dominance.

After carefully sensing his own transformation, a smile of delight couldn't help but surface on Jiang Hui's face.

It only took a century to enter a state of deep seclusion, a pace much faster than before.

After reaping the benefits of the Questioning Path Divine Bamboo, Jiang Hui gained a deeper appreciation for its rarity and casually carved out a space in the bamboo forest for his regular sudden enlightenments.

He also did not forget to have Old man Lin remind the prodigies of Liu Village that anyone facing a breakthrough impasse, or their cultivation has stagnated, could come to the bamboo forest to seclude themselves.

Afterward.

Jiang Hui doesn't force himself back into seclusion.

Even with the blessings of the Questioning Path Divine Bamboo, one cannot expect to become full-fledged overnight.

After centuries of seclusion, Jiang Hui longed to breathe in the fresh air outside.

As he passed by the Ginseng Fruit Tree, he suddenly stopped, a look of astonishment crossing his face.

The little sapling that stood just a foot tall a few thousand years ago had now astonishingly reached over five or six meters in height.

It is known that the Ginseng Fruit Tree, unlike the World Tree, is an ordinary tree, just a few dozen meters at full growth, indistinguishable from ordinary large trees. Normally, to reach such a size would require a minimum of ten thousand years.

Could it be that his carefree action was right after all, that this monkey could gain enhanced effects not only from raising horses but also from cultivating spiritual trees?

The seemingly useless, tedious tasks of watering, fertilizing, and weeding actually accelerate the growth of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

A hidden effect?

A smile of delight quickly spreads across Jiang Hui's face.

Whether it is so or not, one thing is certain–the Ginseng Fruit Tree's growth rate is indeed much faster than anticipated.

This is definitely an unexpected and delightful surprise.

In a corner of the Immortal Domain.

Thousands of Majestic Peaks, with a great river winding around.

Here lies the location of the Heavenly Court.

“`
After spending some time in the Heavenly Court and warming his heart with family and friends for a few days, Shi Hao set out for the Lower Realm to visit the Nine Hevens and Ten Earths.

Looking out,
This expanse of nine heavens and ten lands was shrouded in a dense fog so thick it seemed it couldn't be dispersed, the ground cracked and fissured. Wherever the eye could see, all had collapsed, and powerful beings who had not gone to the Immortal Domain had left this place at the first opportunity, moving to nearby stars.

However, in this life, because Meng Tian Zheng had not died and Fire Spirit had not been captured, his hatred for the Alien Territory was far from as intense as described in the books.

One day, Shi Hao suddenly spotted two familiar figures.

“Isn't that Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi?” Shi Hao focused his eyes, subconsciously rubbed them, and when he clearly saw the two figures, a touch of joy instantly appeared on his face. Without doubt, he directly pursued them.

He had long sensed that the strength of these two was different, so he had especially consulted with the Lord of the Forbidden Area and learned that these two were once well-known Immortal Kings, second only to the Emperor Daoist Immortal Golden Taoist.

In the past, they fought to resist the invasion of the Alien Territory, and ultimately died on the battlefield. For some reason their Primordial Spirits ended up in the Void God Realm.

Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi weren't moving quickly, so Shi Hao was able to catch up to them soon.

Only when Shi Hao approached, Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi finally realized, they stopped in their tracks and looked towards the source of the abnormal fluctuations.

When they clearly saw it was Shi Hao, the two old men were visibly stunned.

Bird Grandpa widened his eyes and suddenly gave Grandpa Jing Bi's arm a fierce pinch.

An agonized scream immediately followed.

“You old geezer, why are you pinching me?”

Grandpa Jing Bi's eyes were ablaze with anger as he irritably turned to look at Bird Grandpa.

“I was just checking if I was dreaming…” Bird Grandpa quickly said with a tinge of apology.

“Dreaming? Then why didn't you pinch yourself?”

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jing Bi became even more irate, cursing and swearing.

“You dummy, pinching yourself hurts too much.” Bird Grandpa crossed his arms behind his back, giving Grandpa Jing Bi a look that said he was looking at an idiot.

Although their memories had recovered, given their long time spent in the Void God Realm mocking and bickering with each other, it had become a habit.

It would feel unusual if they didn't exchange a few barbs in a day.

“Senior gentlemen, what brings you here?”

While the two were bickering, Shi Hao had already walked quickly up to them, and then bowed with a fist-closed hand salute.

Even though he had successfully reached the King's Domain, Shi Hao still maintained the manners of a junior.

He was very modest and never became arrogant or uncontrollable due to his own rapid increase in strength.

“Never mind that…” Bird Grandpa waved his hand with a look that spoke volumes, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly began to walk around Shi Hao as if he had discovered a new world, his face entirely replaced by astonishment and shock.

The same was true for Grandpa Jing Bi beside him.

“Good, good, good, brilliant, you little rascal, how old are you even, a million years old? Yet, you have already stepped into the King's Domain… It's unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!”

Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi exchanged glances and then almost simultaneously exclaimed.

Both were beyond words at Shi Hao's rate of growth, it was incredibly exaggerated; in just how many years, he had already become one of the most exceptional existences in the world, such a speed of cultivation was such that adding up all the notable geniuses of all Eras would not yield one that could match him.

“Senior gentlemen flatter me too much, before you, I am still but a junior.”

Shi Hao modestly smiled, then with a puzzled tone, he said, “Seniors, you haven't finished yet. How come you are here?”

At these words, Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi both sighed.

“It's a long story,” Bird Grandpa said with hands clasped behind his back, starting to talk about the actual matter at hand: “During your absence, the Void God Realm was attacked not just once by the Dark King, and among them was even a leader at the Pinnacle Level of the Dark Kings, so mighty that the disparity in strength was simply too great. Despite the efforts of this Old One and your Grandpa Jing Bi, using up all of our Spiritual Energy, we could not stop them. Ultimately it was The Master of Liu Village who made a move and protected the remaining part of the Void God Realm.”

“Senior Liu took action too,” Shi Hao muttered, a hint of emotion inevitably flashing in the depths of his eyes.
