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

Chapter 612: Chapter 422: The Great Elder is Weird_2

Fortunately, Shi Hao was mature and firm of mind; he quickly gathered his wits, focusing himself entirely.

The Immortal Ancient Method was temporarily no longer viable, so he could focus on solidifying the foundation of the Law of Life, since he intended to explore both paths anyway, the order barely mattered.

“Without the Supreme Dao Species, let’s use ourselves as the seed, to refine our true self!”

The Great Elder suddenly stood up from the green stone.

“Using the body as the seed?” Shi Hao’s face revealed a touch of shock, very astonished because such an idea was too innovative, but seemed to carry infinite possibilities. Truly not subject to external factors, once successfully cultivated, its potential was immeasurable.

Yet he was also very perplexed, could this really work?

Could a human body as seed truly surpass the naturally perfect and blessed existences like the World Tree, the Tree of All Paths, the Heavenly Seed?

For a moment, Shi Hao’s mind was flooded with thoughts.

“Great Elder, has anyone ever succeeded before?”

Jiang Hui couldn’t help but ask.

A Perfect Immortal Seed is too difficult to obtain, using the body as seed truly seems an alternative.

“Hehe…” The Great Elder chuckled lightly, then patted Shi Hao’s shoulder, speaking in a very indifferent tone: “Actually no, all the creatures that have attempted this way have failed, either becoming cripples or literally refined to death, not a single one succeeded!”@@novelbin@@

“That success rate is way too low!” Shi Hao’s mouth twitched slightly.

Yet after deliberating for a long time, he eventually decided to tread on this path.

This was because True Perfect Immortal Seeds were far too scarce, not just in this era, but also in ancient times, since the Immortal Ancient era, Perfect Immortal Seeds were stumbled upon, not sought after and the variety has always been limited.

Not everyone could have monstrous fortunes like the Ten Crown King. Most people can only fight against the current. Shi Hao didn’t believe that he could be lucky enough to stumble upon one, he might have a chance, but he would absolutely miss the golden period of cultivation. If it came to that, it would be even more of a loss.

“Good, since you’re so resolute, this old one will accompany you on this journey!” Meng Tian Zheng seemed very pleased.

He himself was a practitioner of this path, despite not having succeeded, but he knew the terrifying potential of this path, once one succeeded, they could absolutely surpass everything.

Just like him.

Although he had no Immortal Seed, he could easily crush creatures of the same realm.

Hence, even if there was the minutest chance, even one in a million or a life-or-death gamble, it was worth trying.

The path of cultivation itself wasn’t a easy boulevard, if one didn’t harbor a resolve to die, it’s actually hard to achieve any considerable success.

“Great Elder…”

“Great Elder…”

Just as Meng Tian Zheng’s voice died down, there were a few more calls from the riverbed.

It was Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, and Lin Hai.

They finished their tasks and hastily came over.

“You should have caught the gist of what I said, what are your choices?”

Meng Tian Zheng waved his hand, inviting the three to stand in front of him and asked.

“I’m sorry, Great Elder, I don’t think I’ll be able to walk this path!”

Lin Hai was the first to respond, shaking his head.

His body carried the Ancestral Witch’s bloodline, the path he needed to walk was different from everybody else’s, neither the Perfect Immortal Seed nor the body as the seed suited him.

Lord Willow God once warned him that his path was only one, and that was to continuously develop his own bloodline.

“It’s okay, any choice made, regardless of the outcome, is simply human nature, you don’t need to apologize to this old one!”

Meng Tian Zheng showed a faint smile.

Of course, he was somewhat disappointed.

Among everyone,

He held Lin Hai in the highest regard, and believed he was the best candidate for the path of using the body as the seed.

However, everyone has their own ambitions, and though he was the Great Elder of the academy, he couldn’t force anyone to do something they didn’t want to.

“Gu Chen, Tu Dequan, how about you two?”

Meng Tian Zheng immediately turned towards the remaining two.

In his opinion, Gu Chen and Tu Wa Zi were also promising candidates, both had very solid foundations, which was critical and a must for the path of using the body as the seed.

If the foundation isn’t strong, this path can’t be taken at all.

“We would like to ask for Lord Willow God’s opinion!” Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen glanced at each other, neither agreed nor outright refused.

“The existence in your village probably wouldn’t allow the two of you to tread this path!” Meng Tian Zheng shook his head.

He recalled what Shi Hao mentioned earlier.

Without any strong reason, the master of Liu Village wouldn’t act against the Heavenly Seed, which would have serious consequences. A slight carelessness might lead to unimaginable disasters.

“Great Elder, what do you mean by that?”

Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen were a little puzzled.

They hadn’t even asked yet, and the Great Elder had directly denied them. Could he understand Lord Willow God’s thoughts better than them?

“You’ll know soon enough!” Meng Tian Zheng didn’t directly tell them, instead he left them with a riddle.

The two scratched their heads, seeing Great Elder’s confident expression, although they were confused, they didn’t ask further.

In fact, Meng Tian Zheng’s thoughts were not off at all; the Jiang Hui Tree had long planned not to let Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen choose the path of using the body as a seed.

Currently, it was a dead-end, and when one reached the end, unimaginable things would occur. That was an indescribable enlightenment, an intentional targeting by the will of Heaven and Earth. Going against Heaven and Earth’s will was truly an act against nature, how could it be approved of?
