Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 1052 - Chapter 1052 Chapter 654 Incubating the Egg Progresses

Chapter 1052: Chapter 654: Incubating the Egg Progresses Chapter 1052: Chapter 654: Incubating the Egg Progresses The scene was staggering, as beings from Ten Thousand Clans gathered together, each with a devout expression, like frenzied believers worshiping the heavens, their eyes aflame with fervent and sincere gazes toward the end of the long green stone staircase that sprawled like a dragon–

That ancient mega-city whose magnificence was beyond imagination, where the true essence of greatness flowed.

Their gazes slowly swept over the many figures on the green stone steps, and the shock on the faces of Tripitaka and Shen Ming grew even more intense.

They could feel that the reverence shown in people’s expressions was not feigned,

nor was it the result of being bewitched by some secret technique,

but truly came from the heart, pure to the extreme.

“It is indeed inconceivable; the prestige of Willow Sacred Land may already have reached an unimaginable level within the Immortal Domain…”

Shen Ming, visibly shaken, muttered subconsciously, having never witnessed such a sight, not even in the Burial Domain, where even when the Burial Kings were born, the Burial Priests had never been this exaggerated.

It must be known that Burial Priests are unlike others; born with a notion of sincere devotion.

Mindful without thought.

That is why they always chose to avoid the world and stay away from all disputes.

Although Tripitaka didn’t speak, his facial expression already said it all.

Among those beings, none had actually seen The Master of Liu Village, only heard of his name, yet they were all so devout, which was truly unimaginable; honestly, he found it somewhat inexplicable.

“Dong…”

“Dong…”

“Dong…”

Just then,

In the moment of their contemplation,

there suddenly came three melodious bell chimes from within the mega-city, awe-inspiring yet unfathomable, suspended above half of the azure sky, surrounded by an inverted galaxy.

Each chime was more sonorous than the last.

Yet each was also deeper than the previous one.

Though they conveyed completely different sensations, they merged together miraculously and harmoniously without any abrupt or discordant feelings.

That bell sound, thunderous amidst its dullness, was filled with an indescribable sense of grandeur. Tripitaka and Shen Ming instantly became solemn uncontrollably and couldn’t help but want to kneel and bow their heads.

Fortunately, this uncontrollable feeling did not last long. In a mere instant, their bodies regained control.

They looked at each other with a shared understanding and then shook their heads at the same time, both unclear about what had just happened.

Coming to their senses, Tripitaka and Shen Ming quickly looked around, only to find that the others on the green stone steps were the same as them, having zoned out for that moment. Some of the weaker-willed had already knelt on the ground, bowing towards the mega-city.

But everyone’s complexion remained the same, with no changes evident, and no cries of alarm arose from the crowd, suggesting that this was nothing out of the ordinary and unrelated to them, thus they also put their minds at ease.

In the distance,

The mega-city that hung in the air like a gargantuan beast was the rumored Willow Sacred Land.

Wanting to avoid startling the snake by hitting the grass, they did not rashly ask anyone for information but chose a green stone staircase with relatively fewer people and queued up honestly behind them.

Meanwhile, they used Divine Sense to communicate and discuss what they should do next.

According to what the elders in the Burial Domain had said, if they confirmed that the situation in the Immortal Domain had indeed changed greatly, it was time to proceed to the next step and discuss the possibility of forming an alliance.

As for the attitude of those outside the Immortal Domain towards the Burial Domain–

It seemed there was no need to ask anymore.

It should be quite favorable.

At least not hostile.

Otherwise, Lin ChaoYang, who claimed to come from the Willow Sacred Land, would not have allowed them to enter so easily after hearing they came from the Burial Domain.

Since he came from the Willow Sacred Land, in some respects, he should also represent the will of this colossal entity.

Most of what needed to be verified had been verified; what remained was relatively straightforward.

However, even though only the final step remained, it wasn’t easy to manage.

Because all of this was predicated on the ability to meet The Master of Liu Village.

Otherwise, their entire trip would have been meaningless.

On their way, they made many inquiries, and they knew that the difficulty of meeting the Master of Liu Village in person was immense.

So, after a brief discussion, the two decided to disguise themselves as visitors coming to pay homage, using this as a means to enter the Willow Sacred Land.

As for passing the assessment… the two weren’t too worried. With their talents, they shouldn’t have any issues…

As the thought settled, their steps became firmer, hastening a little.

What Sanzang and Shen Ming didn’t know was that their little maneuver had already been noticed by none other than the Master of Liu Village they were talking about.

Jiang Hui felt that he was still too petty and afraid to think big. If it really came down to it, it wouldn’t be impossible to take the group of Burial Priests in the Burial Domain as followers and disciples.

While the number of Burial Priests was small, each of them had extraordinary talent, making them a case of quality over quantity.

Especially among them, the Golden Burial Officers, who had a significant chance of becoming a Burial King in the future. If he could recruit them, the experience points they provided would naturally be substantial.

Withdrawing his gaze from the two Golden Burial Officers, Jiang Hui looked at the others.

For now, he would leave these two alone.

If they managed to pass through all the selections, at that time, Jiang Hui wouldn’t mind hearing about their purpose and reason for coming here.

As for the present…

Hatching eggs was the priority.

Yes.

Jiang Hui was truly hatching eggs.

And not just in the metaphorical sense, he was literally hatching eggs.

Yesterday was the monthly dragon egg draw, and naturally, he wouldn’t want to miss it.

There were two great pleasures in life: leveling up and the dragon egg lottery.

Luckily, his luck wasn’t bad; he actually managed to draw a Mythic Dragon Egg.

Only second to the highest, the Chaos Dragon Egg.

Up to this point, he had only ever drawn a couple of them.

Epic Dragon Eggs were guaranteed to yield a rare item, while a Mythical Dragon Egg contained at least three, and sometimes even as many as four or five. They were extremely precious, and opportunities to acquire them were rare.

The Monkey King came from a Mythical Dragon Egg.

While the strength of one’s cultivation talent was secondary, the key was the innate abilities one was born with. Take Gu Chen, for example, who was born with the Perfection of Sky Tyrant Blood–a powerful physique that, even without cultivation, could rival the Ancient Holy Body and provide Gu Chen with tremendous strength.

And that monkey was even more remarkable, born with unparalleled colossal strength. How long had it cultivated? Yet its Iron Fists were so strong that not even a True Immortal could stand against it, comparable to Lin Hai with Ancestral Witch’s blood.

The hatching method of this Dragon Egg, however, was different from the others; it indeed required literal incubation, and the duration had to last no less than ninety-six twofold hours.

Two hours equaled one twofold hour.

Ninety-six twofold hours amounted to 192 hours, which translates to eight days.

To be honest, this was the first time Jiang Hui experienced a sensation of time dragging on interminably; the process of incubating this Dragon Egg was quite vexing.

Fortunately,

All the effort was worthwhile.

As that familiar, distinctive sound rang out.

The Dragon Egg, originally covered in a golden sheen with a rough surface texture, suddenly turned into a brilliant streak of light and entered his backpack.

A prompt sounded.

“Congratulations, your Mythical Dragon Egg has hatched successfully.”
