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

Chapter 540: Chapter 388: Willow God’s Shock, Unknown and Great Disaster (Chapter 1)_1

At the back of the mountain, a chaotic aura twirled and pervaded the air. Striking beams of light shot up into the sky, creating a spectacle of fleeting brilliance. From every direction, a sacred and pure aura flowed out, akin to the gentle caress of cooling wind and the soundless moistening of a murmuring stream, making one lose themselves in its allure.

In a corner of the Immortal’s Tomb.

The World Tree, a symbol of immortality and eternity, majestically stood towering over ten thousand meters high. Its large leaves emulated the color of emerald jade just like a crystal stone, radiating a majestic aura of life. Its trunk, grey-black in color, emanated a glow like pure walls. Like a prehistoric giant, this divine entity seemed to be overlooking the entire Liu Village. Its enormous canopy was so wide it covered the entire skyline, giving the impression of unending mountains stretching as far as the eye could see – an exaggeration to the extreme.

Such a colossal World Tree could stand comparative to a mountain peak. Even Willow God, the distinguished Ancestor of the Sacrificial Spirits, had never seen or heard of such a phenomenon before.

Though the World Tree is not considered a treasure medicinal plant, it is among the rarest divine trees of the current era. Like her own body, they are difficult to reproduce in heaven and earth. They have long lifecycles, measured in eons. Even without cultivation, they can live almost as long as heaven and earth. It is said that in ten thousand years, it’s challenging to find even a single one.

Moreover, the latter is even more precious and scarce, conceived at the beginning of Heaven and Earth, gifted with infinite possibilities.

The legend says that if a World Tree could flower and bear fruit, it could form an entire primordial universe. The mature seeds could then evolve into planets capable of fostering life, surely infinite in number.

Of course, the growth and development cycle of a World Tree is unimaginably prolonged. Even from the Ancient Fairy Era till now, crossing a whole epoch, she has never seen a real World Tree, let alone a mature one. Neither has she even heard of it.

Besides, due to the limitations of the physical form, very few beings like the World Tree can walk on the path of Tao. The innate need for sedimentation is excessively exaggerated, making it challenging to nurture independent consciousness and leading a life of confusion.

Her ability to break through restrictions and norms also boils down to a fortunate coincidence which gave her the right time, place, and people… Otherwise, it might still be difficult for her to get on the right track.

It is already difficult for grass and trees to cultivate and develop independent consciousness. How much more so for heavenly earth spiritual plants such as her. The heavens have always been fair.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Willow God wrinkled her brows slightly, her almond-shaped eyes radiating a light that rippled like a jade-green lake – as mystical as black agate stones bathed under the moonlight – exceptionally lively.

She suddenly seemed a bit puzzled.

Given that she has been in Liu Village for several months now, she had not noticed any abnormalities here before.

But Willow God soon figured out the reason.

Presumably.

It must be that the master of Liu Village had set up a profound formation in the back mountain. It seemed to have had some disturbance right now, thereby revealing the true spectacle inside.

Perhaps, another reason might be because she had never been to the back mountain before. Apart from cultivating daily, she contemplated herself. Furthermore, since she was merely temporarily residing here, she had neither used her Divine Sense nor thoroughly examined the entire Liu Village.

Otherwise, with her strength, even though she has not fully recovered, there should be nothing that can be hidden from her. As for her, she had long since cultivated the Heavenly Eye, which can see through illusions and directly discern the truth.

“Right, that strange noise!”

Willow God came back to her senses, reminding herself, and hastily scanned her surroundings.

She was definite that the unsettling clamor that made even her heart palpitate had originated from within.

But looking around where the noise came from, she found nothing peculiar.

This situation was too bizarre. With her speed, she should have been here in an instant. Yet, she failed to spot anything suspicious.

No.

There was one unusual place.

Willow God abruptly looked up.

Her gaze was immediately drawn to a magnificent sight.

It was a bridge.

Standing tall and grand, it was founded on the boundless Green Mountain and seemed as rough as cliffs stretching as far as the eye can see. It traversed between Heaven and Earth like a long dragon, paved with bluestone on top, while the river roared beneath, churning with silver and splendid waves. Looking out, the roaring river was endless, majestic, and magnificent.

“That bridge…” The Willow God’s focus naturally fell not on the river that flowed around the village. Her eyes, as bright and dazzling as stars, shot out two beams like lightning, her gaze hooked, and she stared intently at the mountain bridge.

She wasn’t sure whether it was her illusion, she felt inexplicably throbbing, ancient, desolate, timeless, and vast…

This was a feeling that could not be described.

It was as if the bridge had existed for an unimaginable length of time, so long that it could not be simply measured and described in terms of years. It was too ancient, truly weather-beaten.

On it was an air of infinite passage of time. Just a glance made one feel as if their soul was being sucked into it, seemingly to be permanently lost in it. For a moment, even the Willow God could not help but feel a cryptic sense of life being fleeting.

“What a bizarre thing!”

After all, the Willow God was an immortal being who had spanned two eras, seen too many things, and knew many hidden secrets. Her vision was unparalleled, so she recognized the extraordinariness of the Underworld Bridge just by looking at it.

She immediately took flight, her tall figure transformed into a stream of light, landing on the Bluestone Bridge that looked like a giant dragon, hoping to observe it more closely and detect the mysteries of the bridge.

At such close range, her eyes saw more clearly, and she was able to sense more comprehensively. It was not simply a sense of vicissitude anymore, there was also an extremely intense aura of death circulating above it…

Cold, solitary, and the end.

This bridge… was filled with death.

It was as if… only the dead can enter, the living cannot, or they would face dire consequences, marked by some horrifying and unknown existence.

Vaguely, she saw the Blood Flower blooming, like countless worms, constantly spreading, sublimating, and blossoming on the Bluestone paved bridge, like a curse leaping and running…

“This bridge is not complete, it should be a damaged artifact, or part of a larger whole…”

“But even so, it’s astonishing. I can sense the long-lost Reincarnation Imprint within… Death contains reincarnation, and reincarnation is the beginning of death. Death and reincarnation coexist…”

“This clearly is a major evil object, unpredictable!!!”

“Master of Liu Village, who exactly are you?!”

The Willow God lowered her gaze, unable to conceal the shock within, and couldn’t help but mutter to herself. Her heart grew more suspicious of Jiang Hui, the master of Liu Village.

She had been traversing, rising and falling in the Heavens and Earth for countless years, yet this was the first time she could not see through a being.

“Friend, you seem to be in a good mood today, even coming to the back mountain of this seat…”

Just as the Willow God was lost in her thoughts, a hearty laugh sounded.

The next moment.

Jiang Hui came walking over from one side, smiling.

He stood tall and majestic, like an unyielding bluestone.
