Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity Chapter 1179

Chapter 1179: Chapter 742: This is the Three Generations Bronze Coffin_2 Chapter 1179: Chapter 742: This is the Three Generations Bronze Coffin_2 Who is Senior Liu?

That existence is sacred and not to be looked upon directly.

It's even possible that since the era when the Emperor fell, he is the first to ascend to the Emperor Realm by his own strength.

In past times, if it hadn't been for Senior Liu breaking into the Immortal Domain, opening the Immortal Gate…

How could the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have retained such a vigorous living force?

Apart from those powerful enough to leave, able to traverse as they should, like the master of Demise Immortal Ridge who grasp at life, hiding on a life-bearing star.

Other creatures would likely suffer a calamitous fate.

Either being eroded by darkness or having their Primordial Spirits taken away, becoming new life in a state of confusion.

Either outcome would inevitably result in the extinction of living beings, and the Ten Thousand Clans of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would most likely topple.

Jiang Hui nodded lightly, his gaze deep and calm, “Shi Hao, I have come here because there are some matters I wish to discuss with you.”

“Younger generation is all ears.”

“Shi Hao, this place can also be considered your starting point. Although it is now in ruins, the marks of history are still clear. What are your thoughts on all this?”

Jiang Hui glanced around, looking toward the now dilapidated Heavenly God Academy in the distance, and spoke faintly.

He did not bring up the topic of the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin right at the start.

That would be too deliberate.

Of course, Jiang Hui actually didn't quite know how to beat around the bush and simply used it as a conversation starter.

The Heavenly God Academy once was a Holy Land in the hearts of countless cultivators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, nurturing numerous exceptionally talented cultivators.

Now it has also fallen into ruins, leaving only broken walls and remnants, recounting past glories.

Shi Hao pondered for a moment, somewhat puzzled by why Senior Liu would suddenly ask him such a profound, yet seemingly simple, question.

Still, he thoughtfully responded, “Senior Liu, the Heavenly God Academy once was the sacred ground for cultivators in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but now it has ended up like this, which is indeed lamentable.

However, the path of cultivation is inherently full of uncertainties, the rise and fall are commonplaces. Although I am pained, I also understand it is inevitable.”

“Furthermore, I believe that although the Heavenly God Academy is now ruined, the history and glory it carries will never be forgotten.”

“This place was once the starting point for many cultivators.”

“Even if time is relentless and fleeting, the brilliance of the past will not vanish with it.”

“And most importantly, even though the Heavenly God Academy is in ruins, because of Senior Liu's presence, the people within the Academy still live. Compared to a pile of rubble, living people are what's most important.”

Shi Hao answered earnestly, with a meticulous demeanor.

Jiang Hui was somewhat surprised by Shi Hao's response.

Was that considered to be flattering him?

Probably not.

After all, would Emperor Huang Tian flatter someone else?

The reason he spoke like that must be due to genuine respect.

Certainly, Jiang Hui didn't feel he had done anything that would garner such respect from the future Emperor Huang Tian.

“Senior Liu, you… came specifically to find me… could it be there is something else?”

Before Jiang Hui could speak, Shi Hao had already taken the initiative.

He wasn't a fool and could tell that Senior Liu appearing here wasn't just to ask him such an inconsequential question.

To speak frankly,
the position of the Heavenly God Academy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was indeed very extraordinary.

Even more noble than those so-called Eternal Families, but no matter how exalted, it would be difficult to say whether it could catch Senior Liu's eye.

Mixed Yuan Senior and Senior Pan Wang once mentioned that Senior Liu had already marched into the Emperor Realm, which means, when he was still in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he might already have been ranked as an Immortal King.

Otherwise, how could he have managed to effortlessly slay True Immortals when he invaded the Immortal Domain?

Such an existence, even if the Heavenly God Academy was ever so popular, in his eyes, it might just be considered like a secluded small family.

Jiang Hui's gaze was profound, seemingly able to penetrate through all illusions of the world.

Shi Hao's proactive approach made it easier for him, who was originally not adept at making small talk, to get straight to the point.

“I indeed have a matter.”

“Senior Liu, please speak freely, no need for any reservations. As long as Shi Hao can accomplish it, there will be no second words!” Shi Hao immediately said, his words earnest and sincere.

As he had said, he indeed felt that way, with no pretense.

The expression on Shi Hao's face was slightly excited.

He rarely had the opportunity to repay Senior Liu, and he was naturally eager.

In this world, whether in the mundane world or the Immortal Domain, the debt of gratitude is always the hardest to repay.

“I need an item you possess.”

“An item? Senior, please say,” Shi Hao was at first startled, then hurriedly said.

His astonishment was because he truly couldn't think of what item he had that could catch Senior Liu's eye.

“That copper coffin!” Jiang Hui did not beat around the bush.

“The copper coffin?”

“Senior Liu, are you referring to the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin?!”

Jiang Hui nodded.

“That coffin has an extraordinary origin, and I need to borrow it for a time!”

Shi Hao was moved and quickly said, “Not to mention borrowing, even if Senior Liu wants it, I would present it with both hands.

However, although I know the coffin is extraordinary, I know very little about its origin and purpose. Could Senior perhaps enlighten me a bit?”

As he spoke,
Shi Hao took out the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin from his space artifact, presenting it with great humility to Jiang Hui, saying, “Senior, please have a look.”

In an instant,
The Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, originally the size of a palm, rapidly enlarged with the wind.

The Nine Dragons elevated their heads, their dragon scales glimmered like stars scattered across the night sky, their bodies winding and coiling.

Each scale shimmered with a mysterious radiance, and even though they were mere corpses, they still emitted an extremely exaggerated aura of might.

If their eyes were to open, it would likely seem as if they had come back to life.

Following behind the Nine Dragons, an ancient copper coffin calmly floated, its body etched with archaic runes.

Mysterious yet solemn,
And there flowed an indescribable sense of the vicissitudes of time.

From the appearance alone, it was indeed extraordinary.

But Jiang Hui didn't pay it much attention.

To be honest,
If it weren't necessary for the key, he would rather not have too much contact with the Three Generations Bronze Coffin.

After all, its creator had an essentially irreconcilable conflict with him.

Redirecting his gaze, Jiang Hui once again looked at Shi Hao and slowly said, “Do you want to know the origin of this copper coffin?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao nodded noncommittally.

He did indeed want to know.

Because the feeling that the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin gave him was too mystical,
Especially that copper coffin.

There was always a sense of the unimaginable.

“If you want to know, there's no harm in telling you, that person has long been silent, and even if it involves karma, it doesn't matter.

The creator of the copper coffin was the very first strong person since the beginning of the Heaven and Earth.

As for how strong…

Well, I might as well tell you as well.

Above The Sacrificial Path.”

At this point, Jiang Hui's voice paused slightly.

Because there should have been other voices appearing.

Indeed,
Shi Hao's voice promptly rose.

“Senior Liu… what does 'Above The Sacrificial Path' mean?”

“The literal meaning, a realm,”
“Above the Emperor Realm?”

Shi Hao immediately inquired.

He knew the realms from the Blood Movement Realm to the Emperor Realm very well.

The words “Sacrificial Path” were not even mentioned.

Thus, it was not hard to infer that the 'Above The Sacrificial Path' must be above the Emperor Realm.

“You will know about it in the future!”

Jiang Hui said with a slight smile, not continuing to explain,
As for matters such as realms, there was absolutely no need to explain so clearly.

Shi Hao responded, not insisting any further.

Just as Senior Liu had said, if he could reach that realm, sooner or later, he would know.

If he couldn't reach it, what use was there in knowing?

It was merely self-disturbance of the average person.

Yet he was somewhat shocked in his heart.

After all, he had originally thought that the Emperor Realm was already the endpoint of everything.

He had never expected that there were other realms above it.

To be honest, it was somewhat beyond his imagination.

Jiang Hui did not wait for Shi Hao to digest the information he had provided and continued speaking.

“Speaking of which, you might find some similarities with the creator of the copper coffin.

The person spent a lifetime in battle, quelling chaos,
He experienced clan annihilation, domain annihilation, through endless time and space, the destruction of the countless endless primal Great Universe, leaving only himself.

After reaching 'Above The Sacrificial Path', in search of once-felt warmth and old acquaintances,
He restarted the universe over and over again, recreating the space-time of old.

But after repeated restorations, the person abruptly discovered that life had become insipid, instantly losing all meaning, as the joys and sorrows of those from the past no longer affected him in the slightest.

Therefore, the person contracted a very serious illness,
An incurable disease that even 'Above The Sacrificial Path' could not heal.

After restarting the primal Great Universe once again,
The person set himself ablaze with a world-annihilating inferno.

Afterward, what remained of the Primordial Spirit sealed his own ashes into a stone jar, placed within the crafted copper coffin.

That is, the copper coffin we are seeing now,
Named the Three Generations Bronze Coffin!”
