Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity Chapter 1144

Chapter 1144: Chapter 723: Stone Monkey and the Calamity of Immortality Chapter 1144: Chapter 723: Stone Monkey and the Calamity of Immortality The elegant figure swayed gently, peerless in grace, like a fairy beneath the moonlight, and as striking as a startled swan, radiating an indescribable charm as she slowly approached.

It was no one else,
But the Willow God herself.

The relationship she shared with Jiang Hui was clear to all; they usually lived together.

Although they did not always stick together due to their cultivation pursuits,
Living in the same place, she was naturally neither blind nor deaf, so she had indeed noticed the arrival of Emperor Merciless.

The reason she did not show herself at the beginning was simply because she did not want others to mistakenly believe that she was a woman driven by jealousy.

“It's been many days, fellow Daoist, yet you remain as gracefully poised as ever!”

The Willow God's gaze, deep and bright, drifted away from Jiang Hui and casually settled on Emperor Merciless, as she said with a smile.

Her words dispersed in the air like a spring breeze caressing the face, devoid of any mundane smog, carrying the power to bring spring to all flora.

There was not the slightest hint of an edge in her voice.

It was indeed just a simple greeting.

As if she were greeting an old friend she had not seen in a long time.

Of course, the two were indeed acquainted.

After all, this was not Emperor Merciless's first visit to Liu Village.

Especially during her first visit, she had stayed in the village for a period of time.

After the initial misunderstanding between them was dispelled, due to the similarity in their nature, their conversation turned out to be quite congenial.

Hearing the Willow God's words, Emperor Merciless slightly nodded and smiled faintly, her voice as cold as ice springs yet melodious, “Fellow Daoist, it has been a long time since we met; your cultivation seems to have made significant progress…”

Although she could not see through Jiang Hui's depth, she could tell that the woman before her was no weaker than herself.

She remembered that upon their first meeting, the Willow God had not even stepped into the Immortal Path Field, but now she had one foot in the King's Domain; such a speed of cultivation was indeed commendable.

“Hahaha, what progress is this? It's merely some recent insights, nothing compared to yours, Fellow Daoist,” said the Willow God with a light laugh.

After conversing briefly, the atmosphere grew warmer, and through Jiang Hui's introductions, the Willow God also learned of the purpose behind Emperor Merciless's visit this time.

However, the Willow God, after all, did not possess Jiang Hui's God-like perspective and was momentarily unable to come to terms with the situation.

She had originally thought that the cause of such significant unrest was related to the Quasi-Emperor, and the incidents that transpired after the main body entered the Ancient Guidance Palace had indirectly confirmed her guess.

Little did she expect that, compared to the actual cause, the situation she had envisioned was almost trivial!

This realization dawned on her.

The Willow God suddenly had an epiphany.

The woman known by the name 'Merciless' must have already come into contact with the Emperor Realm; otherwise, how could she have turned the tide in such dire straits?

“The plateau where the Bizarre Clan resides stands above the heavens, at the ultimate frontier of endless dimensions, space and time, and it is not only inhabited by the Bizarre Clan but also other creatures, even Emperors,”
Jiang Hui explained with a smile, noticing what the Willow God was thinking.

“Your Excellency actually knows about what lies above the heavens?” Before the Willow God could speak, Emperor Merciless spoke up, somewhat surprised.

She did not recall mentioning this place before.

“If there is a heaven that encompasses all things, it must surely have what lies above it; which neatly corresponds to the dimensional spaces you mentioned. It's like the saying, 'there is always someone better out there, there is always a higher mountain.' It's not hard to guess, after all, it is just a title,” Jiang Hui said with a smile.

An Emperor's thoughts plot in all directions; he had already thought of an explanation before speaking.

Besides, he knew of even deeper matters.

For instance, an eon ago, in their quest for what they sought, the Bizarre Clan continuously sacrificed the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, causing a Pollen Origin Seed to shake loose from the plateau, which later scattered through the heavens, eventually falling into the hands of a woman. Using the seed to continuously elevate her realm, she finally stepped into her Tao, creating the Pollen Cultivation System–the mainstream cultivation practice during the Era of Sacred Ruins.

Late on, the Pollen Empress led her followers in a massive battle against the Bizarre Clan, stepping onto the plateau alone. Yet faced with the Phantom Primordial Ancestor's endless revival, the Pollen Empress was eventually overpowered and perished on the plateau, being suppressed and erased by a Stone Coffin, leading to the contamination of the entire cultivation system.

Later, with immense difficulty and the help of Emperor Huang Tian, she left a slim chance for future cultivation–a chance that enabled the emergence of the Era of Sacred Ruins.

Of course, these were things he could not reveal; after all, from what Emperor Merciless had implied, these events seemed yet to occur.

Speaking of them served no purpose since it would not change anything.

“By the way, Fellow Daoist, do you know if Emperor Huang Tian is currently in the village?”

Emperor Merciless, appearing to muse over something, suddenly nodded and then asked as if she had just remembered something important.

“Your Excellency comes at the right time; Emperor Huang Tian is indeed still in the village,” Jiang Hui noncommittally nodded.

“Then my timing really couldn't be better,” Emperor Merciless murmured.

At the same time, she affirmed her opinion once more.

The relationship between the other party and Emperor Huang Tian was indeed extraordinarily close.

Otherwise, why would Emperor Huang Tian have come here so frequently in his youth?

Later historical descriptions of Emperor Huang Tian were far too scarce; flipping the long river of time upside-down might not even reveal a few words about him. Perhaps by way of The Master of Liu Village's assistance, a more in-depth understanding could be gleaned of the peerless emperor who, with a single sword stroke, cut through the eternities.

It was just a pity that her time was running short.
