Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 1083 - Chapter 1083 Chapter 685 No Traces of the Green Lotus Dao

Chapter 1083: Chapter 685: No Traces of the Green Lotus Dao Seed, Still a Question in Mind Chapter 1083: Chapter 685: No Traces of the Green Lotus Dao Seed, Still a Question in Mind The Emperor, the end of all things, the existence at the absolute summit, ranked among the Heavenly Dao, akin to the Great Taoist, eternally indestructible, who opened the heavens and the earth, and evolved all beings effortlessly.

An Emperor of true worth, always at the peak and destined to remain so, naturally would not mention a small price; it could very well exceed its imagination.

The Green Lotus Dao Seed’s spirit slightly swayed, uncertain if it could afford what such an existence desired.

However, this thought arose momentarily and was immediately dismissed by the Green Lotus Dao Seed, as it became exceedingly resolute.

It had once shone brilliantly like fireworks, illuminating the entire starry sky, having had a smooth sailing life, becoming a giant within years beyond human comprehension, but now, had withered, its power turned to nothing.

Now that there was a possibility of awakening again, this opportunity, even if it carried a great cost, was worthwhile.

Nothing was more important than making a comeback!

It was not afraid of completely degenerating, it just feared failing to seize a hard-found opportunity.

In this world, probably only an Emperor could force a path out from the depths of degeneration.

As Jiang Hui’s gaze left the Green Lotus Dao Seed, he did not attempt to mystify his intention and quickly said, “You need not bear too great a psychological burden; my requirement is simple, follow by my side!”

“Emperor, I, I am willing to follow you!”

Before Jiang Hui had even finished speaking, the Green Lotus Dao Seed immediately nodded frantically in agreement.

Its tone was weak, and although the invisible pressure slightly relaxed, it was still a strain; even so, it eagerly responded in advance.

Hmm?

That simple?

Observing the actions of the Green Lotus Dao Seed, Jiang Hui was slightly taken aback.

But he soon understood.

He really was being too precious.

Why the need to make it difficult when it could be easy? Some believe that only when someone desperately agrees after much persuasion is it normal.

What’s wrong with easy?

If everything in the world became easier, then smiles would often adorn everyone’s faces, wouldn’t they?

However, he did not know that the Green Lotus Dao Seed shared his exact thoughts.

This could be considered a demand, a cost?

It might as well challenge itself to eat three big bowls of dry rice in one go.

That was the Emperor!

Not to mention these, it would eagerly follow by his side regardless.

Why go to the Boundary Sea to seek the secrets of Emperor after King? That was outdated.

“Very well, since you possess such enlightenment, it also proves that my granting you this good fate was correct,” Jiang Hui said, a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes, before extending his palm and once again grasping the Green Lotus Dao Seed suspended in the air.

In the center of his palm, a powerful energy began to surge. Containing the mysteries of the Great Taoist, it cleansed a mighty vitality, rushing forth like a tide.

“Open your spirit and accept this power,” Jiang Hui whispered, “I will first repair the great Taoist fissures in your body.”

The Green Lotus Dao Seed, hearing this, dared not hesitate and immediately opened its spirit.

In an instant, it felt a powerful energy surge into its body; this energy was strong yet gentle, like a bubbling stream, flowing through the web-like veins of the Dao Seed in all directions, and in a moment, it felt a cleansing of the soul that brought an unprecedented sense of relief throughout its body.

It was like a blind person, blind for a lifetime, who suddenly discovered one day that they could perceive the things around them.

Though not very clear, it was incomparably better than endless darkness.

The uncontrollable excitement of the Green Lotus Dao Seed, ecstasy…

For countless years, it had itself forgotten; this was the first time it could clearly sense that it was still capable of feeling this way.

However, the energy did not stop there.

It continued to pour into the Green Lotus Dao Seed’s phantom, constantly repairing the cracks on it.

Some of the larger cracks, weathered by age and time, could not be repaired immediately.

Yet, some smaller cracks could be repaired perfectly in an instant.

Under the stimulation of powerful vital forces, the cracks were not merely superficially repaired; they were closing and healing inwardly, inch by inch.

As the cracks on the Dao Seed gradually repaired, the originally fragile Green Lotus phantom also began to solidify at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The roots had almost completely materialized, and even the leaves had acquired a charm not seen before.

Gradually,

the soul-rending sounds from the Green Lotus phantom unexpectedly transformed into a terrifying cacophony of ghastly screams.

The sigh of the Green Lotus, now emitting such screams, was chilling, bizarre no matter how one listened.

“Emperor, it hurts so much, a bone-piercing, life-despising pain…”

Within the Dao Seed, the Green Lotus phantom arched like a shrimp, wailing incessantly, as if it might eject from the Dao Seed at any moment.

If at first the feeling was one of all-encompassing comfort, sinking it uncontrollably into the abyss from which there was no escape, now it could well be described as the pain of a thousand cuts.

And the thousand cuts were not to the flesh but to the soul.

The pain of the soul was unbearable; even the King would instantly turn pale, soaked with sweat, trembling and chilled to the bone just hearing those words.

“Since it’s so painful, there’s no need to waste energy on rhetorical flourishes,” Jiang Hui responded lightly, his hand unyielding, the life force within his power intensifying fiercely.

What was originally a wellspring was now a flood.

The sensation of pain suddenly multiplied many times over, almost causing the Green Lotus phantom to faint.

This was not to completely repair the major cracks, but to stabilize their condition, preventing them from worsening.

Those marks were significant, accumulated over days and months and exacerbated by the erratic movements of the Green Lotus itself; even Jiang Hui could not immediately repair them all.

The Emperor did not yet possess such power.

If he could achieve that, it would be akin to molding bullets by hand from mud.

If he were to completely repair them, Jiang Hui estimated that it would take at least three months.

“I will pass on to you a scripture Method; recite and cultivate it day and night. Once you’ve memorized it completely, I will come and find you again.”

Jiang Hui conveyed this telepathically while finally pulling back his hand.

The Green Lotus phantom, as if granted amnesty, gasped for air heavily, drops of water heavily loaded on its jade marrow-like, crystal-clear green leaves.

“Phew…” Relieved that this inhuman healing process was finally over, the Green Lotus phantom involuntarily sighed deeply.

It wasn’t that its willpower was weak, able to endure the loneliness of such protracted solitude, for there were scarcely any who could surpass it in willpower throughout the world.

“The younger generation thanks the Esteemed Emperor for saving my life,” the Green Lotus phantom hurriedly said, coming back to its senses.

Jiang Hui slightly nodded his head, graciously accepting.

“Emperor, the younger generation has a doubt in my heart and wonders if you could resolve my confusion?” the Green Lotus phantom hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked.

“Speak, and it shall be answered!”

“Dare I ask, Emperor, when did you reach the Pinnacle of the Great Dao?”
