Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 1037 - Chapter 1037 Chapter 646 The Turtle and the Medicine

Chapter 1037: Chapter 646: The Turtle and the Medicine Chapter 1037: Chapter 646: The Turtle and the Medicine In the tomb’s spacious passageway, piled high with thick green stones, the old man initially hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

The hesitation stemmed from the gravity of the matter, even causing him to shudder all over, his scalp tingling, unsure whether he should reveal it or not.

The nod was because he suddenly realized that he was currently a prisoner, and even if he wanted to conceal the truth, he had to consider whether his life could withstand the consequences.

He could sense that if this person beside him decided to act against him, probably a mere thought could suppress him, grinding him to dust without leaving even his bones behind.

Who in the Immortal Domain could be that strong, when even his disciples are of the Red Dust Immortal caliber? It’s unimaginable.

If he were to speak of the anomalies within the Immortal’s Tomb, perhaps this person might have a method to resolve them.

For this reason, after a visible moment of hesitation, the old man immediately nodded in affirmation.

“Speak the truth!”

Jiang Hui looked sideways at the old man, unconcerned with whatever he was wildly imagining at the moment, slowly withdrawing his long fingers from the other’s shoulder, and spoke in an irrefutable tone, word by word.

As he spoke, Jiang Hui’s thoughts rapidly turned.

Indeed.

As he had guessed, something unknowable had truly occurred within the Immortal’s Tomb.

Just like the rotten wooden chest that had suddenly appeared in the Ancient Guidance Palace.

He just didn’t know whether there was any specific connection between the two, or whether it was simply coincidental.

However, even if there was a connection, he wouldn’t act on the Ancient Guidance Palace for now. The reason for interrogating the old man was simply to be informed.

After all, no matter what, this Yellow Soil Tomb was located in Liu Village. If any changes were to occur inside, Liu Village would bear the brunt, being the first to receive the shock and impact. Although Jiang Hui was there, and even the biggest waves might not cause a stir, it was still better to be proactive.

Nevertheless, it’s always better to err on the side of caution.

“Before I answer your question, please forgive my boldness in asking you, sir, a question…”

An unusual light flickered in the old man’s eyes as he started speaking in a highly strung manner.

This creature that had evolved from a severed finger bone was indeed spineless, addressing Jiang Hui as “sir” directly.

It was a term of extreme respect and even submission.

Having realized that he could not oppose Jiang Hui, the old man’s every word and tone became as careful as possible.

Not only was his manner very humble and respectful, he was even more devout than Jiang Hui’s disciples, almost ready to cling to Jiang Hui’s thighs.

Jiang Hui’s eyes gleamed brilliantly, shrouded in a nebula-like radiance as he gazed down from above at the withered old man kneeling beside him: “Does it have to do with what I’m asking you?”

“Yes, sir!”

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded frantically, his expression one of absolute certainty.

“Then speak…”

“Sir… do you know the true origin of this Immortal’s Tomb?!”

As he spoke these words, the old man was ready to explain immediately.

Because the history of this tomb was enormous, beyond imagination, and very ancient, spanning the long years back to the Emperor Fallen era.

Even in the Immortal Domain, apart from certain ancient titans, there were few who knew the true origin and reasons for the Immortal’s Tomb. He was just asking, he couldn’t let this person feel any loss of face.

“A door.”

“…”

While thinking this and preparing to elaborate, the words hadn’t left his mouth when three icy words made him swallow them back down.

This person… really knew.

The old man couldn’t help but be shaken, feeling as though he had no secrets at all before this mysterious man.

No, it wasn’t just him.

It seemed even this Immortal’s Tomb, unimaginable as it was to him, had no hidden secrets left at all.

Did he even need to continue explaining?

“I do not have a detailed understanding of this Yellow Soil Tomb, just explain it carefully…”

Jiang Hui’s eyes half-closed, his gaze profound, he didn’t need to read minds to see the old man’s current dilemma.

The old man immediately nodded, cleared his throat, and hastened to continue.

“As you have said, sir, this Immortal’s Tomb is indeed a door, and Demon Island of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was also part of this door. Because of this, the Immortal’s Tomb existed in the same place as Demon Island.

“However, to be more specific, the actual function of the Immortal’s Tomb was akin to a channel of guidance.”

“A channel of guidance?”

Jiang Hui’s eyes narrowed slightly.

As he had said, his knowledge of this Immortal’s Tomb was indeed not extensive; he only vaguely knew it as a doorway.

Now that anomalies had occurred in this tomb, he was even more uncertain whether it was the same as what he remembered.

“Time is long, and in this vast world, eras are no longer eternal but transform into either brilliant or desolate epochs. And with the advent of each grand era, there follows an unprecedented cataclysm, a turmoil that no one can reverse, only to be weathered as fate decrees, life and death left to heavenly will.

“And now, as the last grand era, the Immortal Ancient, draws to a close, the tumult powerful enough to overturn everything is set to emerge again. All in the world will face the darkest of times, and when that moment comes, one will emerge from within the Immortal’s Tomb…”

The old man spoke solemnly, his voice filled with reverence and fear. His strength might not be very formidable, but due to the Immortal’s Tomb, he had witnessed ages that stretched back to ancient times far beyond reach.

Jiang Hui listened in silence.

The rest, he knew.
