Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity Chapter 1161

Chapter 1161: Chapter 731: Lei Zhentian and the First Thunder Emperor_2 Chapter 1161: Chapter 731: Lei Zhentian and the First Thunder Emperor_2 They could obtain tangible benefits, so naturally these Little Thunder Spirits were one more excited than the next.

They referred to Jiang Hui as their master and to the Thunder Spirit King as King.

“Work hard, I hope that in several years, I'll see all of you promoted to Thunder Emperors!” Jiang Hui turned to look at the chattering group of little Thunder Spirits and couldn't help but smile.

Although these little fellows hadn't yet achieved the level of a Thunder Spirit King, given enough time and with the Thunder Essence Liquid he had on hand, there was no doubt they could eventually evolve into Thunder Spirit Kings.

After all, he was now of Emperor Realm status, not to mention that several of the Divine Skills in his possession were related to Thunder Technique and could be condensed into the purest Thunder Essence Liquid at any moment.

Even the essence liquid that he had brought back from the ancestral pool in the Thunder Sea on top of the dam wasn't a match for the self-generated liquid.

Resources, venues… Jiang Hui had everything he needed, and the only question of having a group of Thunder Emperors in the future was when.

“There's no need to rush. Just work hard on your cultivation; the road ahead is still long,” Jiang Hui encouraged.

“Yes! Master!” the little Thunder Spirits responded eagerly. Bolstered by Jiang Hui's encouragement, they were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood and wanted to devour 10 pounds of Thunder Essence Liquid on the spot.

After giving a bit of encouragement to the group of little Thunder Spirits, Jiang Hui's well-defined slender fingers suddenly reached into the void and slightly grasped.

It was as if cutting through tofu, instantly tearing open a dark rift in the void.

After feeling around for a moment.

The next instant.

Jiang Hui retracted his hands.

And in his grasp appeared a dark hammer.

Though it was a hammer, it wasn't like the ordinary ones.

At a glance, the hammer in Jiang Hui's hand had an imposing and majestic shape, forged from the rare dark metal with a profound color, seemingly containing endless power, with its surface covered in complex thunder patterns.

The most eye-catching part was the hammer's head.

It resembled a gigantic meteor, sparkling with silver-white light. Its edges were sharp as blades shaped like sawteeth, though not conspicuously so.

This hammer didn't hatch from a dragon egg; it was seized from the clans where Ao Sheng, Primordial and Primitive resided after they were suppressed.

Armed with the Surveillance Technique, Jiang Hui was the first to learn of this hammer's origins.

And its background was not small.

It once belonged to a weapon of a Fairy King Giant, who was also a practitioner of the Thunder Technique–a predecessor of the Human Race, who, despite his frail body, played with thunder in ways as varied as flowers bloom.

After stepping into giant circles, he poured all his heart into crafting this hammer, but before he could name it, he was caught up in the darkness and chaos.

At the onset, he was besieged by several Immortal King giants. Although the giant fought hard, he ultimately could not overcome the odds and fell in the Frontier Wilderness. He was acquired by the likes of Ao Sheng, who acted as a spectator, collected it as a treasure, and after a series of twists, it ended up in Jiang Hui's pocket.

This hammer was not only hard in material but also complemented the Thunder Technique and Divine Skills related to thunder.

The head was crafted from Heavenly Thunder Meteorite found deep in the universe, far more precious than Dark Immortal Gold by several magnitudes.

The handle was made of thousand-year-old thunderstruck wood.

For a Fairy King, thousand years might not seem long.

But don't think that short.

Usually, not to mention enduring for a thousand years, even a sporadic incident would be too much for a plant to survive, let alone being struck by lightning for thousand years and still retaining vitality, which even Immortal Elixirs wouldn't be able to achieve.

In some respects, the value of thousand-year thunderstruck wood was on par with that of Immortal Elixirs.

The handle was curved and strong, like a meandering Thunder Dragon spiraling over the head, giving a strong visual impact.

Like the downward-facing head.

Complex patterns were also etched onto the handle.

The two seemed like a single sketch.

In ancient myths, the Thunder Lord wielded a hammer, not only a magical tool but also a symbol of the Thunder Lord's power, named Heaven-shaking Hammer.

Since the original owner had not had time to name it, Jiang Hui chose to call it the Heaven-shaking Hammer himself.

As Jiang Hui's thoughts settled, mysterious rules descended from the heavens, blessing the Heaven-shaking Hammer. Even without moving, the clangs of the hammer could be heard.

Making the Thunder Spirit King's eyes never move away from the hammer, with a dumb and dazed look that almost had two big characters written in them–Want.

“This hammer suits you well; I will give it to you as a gift,” Jiang Hui said with a smile and then handed the hammer to the Thunder Spirit King.

“Master… How can I, of such little virtue and ability, deserve your gift…”

The Thunder Spirit King immediately shook its head furiously.

To tell the truth, it really wanted it, but in its heart, it felt it couldn't accept its master's property–after all, it hadn't done anything for its master, so why should it take anything for free?

“Take it if I'm giving it to you!” Jiang Hui's voice carried an undeniable tone.

Only then did the Thunder Spirit King gingerly accept the hammer.

The moment it touched the hammer, the Thunder Spirit King was first stunned, then its eyes filled with even more joy.

It seemed to sense the immense power contained within the hammer, which naturally resonated with its own thunder and lightning attributes. It tried swinging the hammer, and suddenly the heavens and earth seemed torn asunder, countless thick bolts of thunder and lightning burst forth from the hammerhead, like a myriad arrows launching, tearing the surrounding air into fragments. The interwoven thunder and lightning formed a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

“What a treasure!” the Thunder Spirit King exclaimed excitedly, utterly besotted with the hammer.

“Swing it with all your strength!” Jiang Hui suddenly said,
Hearing this, the Thunder Spirit King did not hesitate for a moment, immediately swinging the Heaven-shaking Hammer again, golden thunder light surging in its hands,
The next moment, as the Heaven-shaking Hammer swung fiercely.

The skies changed abruptly, clouds gathered densely, and thunder roared.

It was no longer just the power of the hammer.

It was more like tapping into the power of heaven and earth.

Wherever the hammer went, thunder and lightning collided instantly, mountains crumbled, and it seemed as though the entire heaven and earth trembled for it.

The Thunder Spirit King quickly retracted the hammer, mainly for fear that this swing would destroy all the nearby mountains.

“Master, this hammer is as if it were tailor-made for me!” the Thunder Spirit King trembled all over, purely out of excitement.

“If it feels comfortable to use, make sure to use it more in the future!” Jiang Hui said slowly, and as his words fell, he immediately continued: “Since you have successfully ascended to the rank of Thunder Emperor, then I will bestow a name upon you, how about 'Lei Zhentian'?”

“Lei Zhentian, Lei Zhentian, thank you, Master, for the name!” Lei Zhentian repeated the name Lei Zhentian several times in his mouth before hurriedly speaking respectfully.

To him, the name itself didn't really matter.

But having a name was always better than not having one.

Not to mention that this name sounded so powerful and matched perfectly with the hammer in his hand.

“Zhentian, what are your plans next?”

Jiang Hui looked towards Lei Zhentian.

“I'll follow Master's orders!” Lei Zhentian immediately responded upon hearing this.

Jiang Hui nodded indifferently, hands clasped behind his back, withdrew his gaze from Lei Zhentian, and gazed deeply towards the horizon: “There's a Yuan Heavenly Secret Realm above the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, where you should be able to find the whereabouts of the First Thunder Emperor…”

“Master, is the First Thunder Emperor still alive?”

Lei Zhentian asked in surprise.

Although he had always stayed in the village, he knew of the existence of the First Thunder Emperor.

How should it be put, it's like the son of a mouse naturally knows how to burrow holes.

While it was still a Thunder Spirit, a faint connection existed in its mind, making it aware of the previous Thunder Emperor's presence.

“He is not, but a shard of his Primordial Spirit and body still exist.” Jiang Hui shook his head.

It was an indisputable fact that the First Thunder Emperor had died in the Great War of the Ancient Immortal Era.

In fact, that war was so exaggerated that not only the Thunder Emperor but many of the Ten Evil perished on the battlefield, with some even having their Primordial Spirits entirely obliterated.

Lei Zhentian thoughtfully nodded, bowed respectfully to Jiang Hui once more, and then headed steadfastly towards the village gate…

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another three thousand years had passed.

Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, the Ten Crown King, Banished Immortals, and others had reached a critical juncture. They had long been sufficiently prepared, only needing an opportunity to attain the King's Domain.

However, to Jiang Hui's surprise, his first incarnation was still degenerating within the Red Dust Gate.

But upon reflection, it made sense.

The reason why Tu Wa Zi and the others were able to emerge so quickly from the Red Dust Gate was that they had broken through to the realm of Red Dust Immortal.
