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

Chapter 686: Chapter 482: A Ghost Becomes Immortal? Why Not Be a Guest at My Underworld Bridge? _1

This was a strong intuition, not acquired but inherent from birth. Their experiences in life had only served to strengthen this intuition.

From all his wanderings in the Lower Realm Eight Domains up to this point, this intuition had saved his life countless times. Although it wasn’t always accurate, it was right about eighty to ninety percent of the time.

“It seems I must make a trip to Liu Village either way, and pay a visit to the supreme existence there!” Shi Hao sighs, his mind resolved. The imprint left by the Willow God happened to be in Liu Village. He hadn’t visited it in a long time. Although it was not the real Willow God, it was actually not too different.

…

Neither the Foreign Domain Life Form nor any ancient artifact from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had been thoroughly researched.

That’s because the content recorded therein surpassed their comprehension. Although they could understand every word, the combined narrative left them utterly bewildered. As such, it was impossible to make sense of it through simple pondering.

...

“Let’s keep moving. Perhaps we can uncover the cause of the Luo Mo Ancient Ancestor’s death, discover who was responsible, and find out exactly what happened back then!”

The foreign elder spoke softly, unwilling to delay any longer, intent on progressing further into the unknown territory.

But before leaving, they decided to take this stele with them. Perhaps their ancestors might discover some clues from it.

“This belongs to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, by what right do you take it away?” Meng Tian Zheng and his crew were naturally unwilling to accept this.

Without another word, a fierce battle broke out between both parties.

Meng Tian Zheng wielded the Horn of True Dragon and the Fairy King’s Shroud, while the foreigners only had the Refining Immortal Pot.

Still, it must be said that this was Kun Di, the strongest in the Alien Territory, and once activated, it displayed amazing power. For a time, it was able to rival both the Horn of True Dragon and Fairy King’s Shroud without falling under the wind.

“Who dares to disturb my peaceful dreams?”

Just when it was difficult to determine the winner of the fight, a lone and arrogant voice suddenly rang out. The voice was not loud, yet every individual could clearly hear it in their minds.

All movement halted instantly.

Before anyone could recover…

Suddenly, a coffin appeared before them out of thin air.

The coffin was not particularly large, about one person tall, golden in its entirety. It was adorned with floral patterns that resembled vivid flowers, competing in splendor. Although it was just an object, it gave off a radiant feeling.

At this moment, the coffin was suspended in front of everyone, causing fear. It felt like they were in a desolate place, filled with the intent of utter desolation.

But what shocked them even more was…

Underneath the coffin, countless massive stars were piled high, more densely clustered than those they had seen when they first entered this ancient land. Each one was extremely large. It seemed as if a massive force worked tirelessly to pluck those stars from the Star Sea.

“What exactly happened here? What kind of conflict could create such a terrifying scene?”

“And why did a coffin suddenly appear?”

The Foreign Domain Life Form expressed their astonishment. Despite being immortal and covered by the Refining Immortal Pot, they still felt a hair-raising fear as if a grotesque white, skeletal claw would reach out to skin them.

Their intuition told them that the coffin was extremely terrifying, containing unimaginable secrets.

Meng Tian Zheng and the others were also shocked, both by the coffin itself and the somber stars beneath it. Could these have been dragged down by the unknown creature buried in the coffin?

“A strange land, a strange coffin, and those two stones. In my humble opinion, the one buried in the coffin is likely the owner of this ancient land, perhaps the one who killed the Luo Mo Ancient Ancestor from the Alien Territory?!”

Someone speculated, having learned of the foreigners’ purpose in venturing here from their journey thus far.

At his words, many faces changed, their eyes gleaming as they considered that the one buried in the coffin was likely a senior of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

However, before they could ponder further…

With a “creak…”

To everyone’s surprise…

The coffin suspended before them suddenly opened on its own. In an instant, a chilling, bone-piercing cold wind emanated from within, and in a matter of seconds, it felt as if they had stepped into a frigid winter landscape.

Following that, a human skin abruptly appeared in the coffin. It was extraordinarily shrivelled but, in the wind, it seemed unusually lifelike, as if it had truly been revived.

Only then did everyone clearly see that it was the skin of a woman, painted with a light touch of makeup.

“May I ask if you are a senior from Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?”

Meng Tian Zheng used the Horn of the True Dragon to speak.

“What does it matter whether I am or not?”

A response was unexpectedly emitted from that female skin.

“If you are a Senior from Nine Heavens, please make a move and put down the people from the Foreign Domain!” cried Tian Bu Xiu urgently.

“I am already weary, and I will not make a move again. You all should leave, all of this is meaningless.”

The female skin admitted to being from Nine Heavens, but for some unknown reason, she had no intention of fighting. Instead, she sighed and sent everyone flying away with a blast.

…

Liu Village.

Jiang Hui’s eyes were burning with curiosity. Initially, he intended to just observe, but the sudden appearance of the female skin intrigued him. He casually cast a Surveillance Technique.

Before long, an information panel that only he could see appeared before his eyes, roughly outlining the basic information of that female skin.

Name: Lone Orphan Cang Yun

Gender: Female

Strength: Semi-step Immortal King (Fairy King Giant) (In a damaged state) (Immortal King’s specific realm divisions: Ordinary Immortal King, Supreme Immortal King, Immortal King Giant, Supreme Immortal King, Supreme Giant)

Character History: Lone Orphan Cang Yun, the most talented person from the Lone Orphan Clan. At a young age, she had already reached the realm of the Fairy King Giant. Her prowess is terrifying. The Supreme Giant of the Immortal Domain once sent her to this place to assassinate Luo Mo, a member of the Ancient Clan from the Alien Territory. Despite being successful, she was gravely injured in the process. She was later invaded by dark blood, and to avoid contamination, she forcefully incinerated her physical body, leaving only a piece of human skin. After countless years of tempering, she managed to attain immortality as a ghost.

“To attain immortality as a ghost… she should be regarded as a ghost, right?”

Jiang Hui was in deep thought.

In the Perfect World, although the concept of ghosts rarely appears, it is not non-existent. Simply cultivating to become a Blood Realm cultivator is enough to suppress ghostly beings.

At the Blood Realm, one’s qi and blood are like a surging river, with the individual more like a miniature sun that walks the earth. The vigorous Yang energy is so intense that evil spirits are directly refined and eroded before they can even approach.

Hence, humans are not afraid of evil spirits at all. Instead, it’s the evil spirits that must desperately avoid humans. Those who are able to attain immortality through the cultivation of ghostly methods are few and far between in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The rarity of them is akin to pandas—hard to come by.

If he could “pull” her onto the Underworld Bridge located on his back mountain, would there be some subtle chemical reactions?

With this thought, a sense of excitement welled up in Jiang Hui’s heart.

He felt that it was worth a try.

Although the strength of that female skin was not bad, he should be able to suppress her. This was also a good opportunity to test his own strength.

Moving from thought to action, Jiang Hui took a single step forward, and the vast heaven and earth quickly shrank to an inch.

“Who is it that is behaving sneakily?”

The Grand Red Sky, within the Ancient Lands.

Lone Orphan Cang Yun intended to return to the coffin, but suddenly, she felt something. After looking around, she coldly asked.

The skin, like mutton fat jade, shook in the wind—so white it was somewhat eerie. Not to mention anything else, this sight alone was enough to frighten many timid individuals.

Jiang Hui did not purposely hide himself. His tall and majestic figure slowly manifested from the void.

He was still dressed in that snow-white robe, as if untouched by a speck of dust—pure and incomparable.
