Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 1265 - Chapter 1265 Chapter 996 Old Friend

Chapter 1265: Chapter 996: Old Friend Chapter 1265: Chapter 996: Old Friend Gazing before her at the majestic city sprawling like an independent small world, Willow God couldn’t help but feel inner turmoil and her expression was one of bewilderment.

Upon her return from The Boundary Sea,

this journey had been nothing short of long,

even for someone like her, many things had been running through her mind.

After all, her departure had been so prolonged that upon her return, the current era of this life was almost at its end, things and people were bound to have changed.

Especially when facing The Master of Liu Village…

Given the many events that had transpired between them, neither party was a three-year-old child, naturally one couldn’t just sleep it off and forget everything.

However, to be honest, she hadn’t expected that during the time she was trapped in the ancient temple, The Master of Liu Village had actually been to The Boundary Sea.

Although not specifically to visit her.

But in the end, had it not been for him, she wouldn’t have so easily acquired the Dao Fruit of that Quasi-Immortal Emperor predecessor.

Nor would she have been able to step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm in such a short time.

For every cause there is an effect, this matter is interconnected with causality, all thanks to The Master of Liu Village.

Put simply, with regard to this event, The Master of Liu Village had shown her kindness.

Although conflicts had arisen over the issue of a split persona, when discussing facts, returning to Immortal Domain this time was not only for the purpose of forming a united front and an alliance with The Master of Liu Village, but Willow God also hoped to thank The Master of Liu Village in person.

When compared to stepping into Emperor Realm, a clone held no significance whatsoever.

By stepping into Emperor Realm, she would possess a much greater power to end the dark turmoil, and only then would she be qualified to partake in this game of strategy.

As for matters of the heart…

What she hadn’t expected at all was that the Guiding Stone she had taken from Liu Village would actually lead her to the city where her ancient foe resided.

Even though the ancient city had undergone some changes since then, she still recognized at a glance that it was Ao Sheng’s Immortal King City, as some of the iconic buildings were too obvious.

Back then, in order to ensure his dominance over Immortal Domain and his peeping into the future, Ao Sheng gained a moment of spiritual enlightenment and carved complicated images of myriad beasts galloping on the city walls of the Immortal King City. It was an endeavor that consumed vast amounts of his time and energy, and it also served as a distinguishing feature from other Immortal King Cities.

After all, most Immortal Kings spent the majority of their time deep in the universe either in seclusion or meditative stillness, rarely ever concerning themselves so dearly with their place of residence–even if it involved their descendants.

The Great Taoist is unfeeling and Immortal Kings pursue their path likewise. Not all kings are like this, but Ao Sheng most definitely was.

Unless dealing with a most core and legitimate descendant, he would simply not care.

Willow God’s eyes flickered as she withdrew her gaze. Amidst such contemplation, her doubts only grew.

Logically speaking, the Guiding Stone shouldn’t make mistakes.

This was her trust in the power of The Master of Liu Village. Despite the fact that such blind faith shouldn’t exist within her, The Master of Liu Village’s ability to move unimpeded under the eyes of Emperor Cang and Emperor Hong was irrefutably not a matter of boastful talk, but of true and proven achievements.

But it still led her to Ao Sheng’s Immortal King City, indicating only one thing–currently, there was a high probability that The Master of Liu Village was within this city.

However…

Given Ao Sheng’s devious and ruthless nature, how could he possibly allow a second power to arise within his domain of control?!

Was it possible that Liu Village was captured in the King city due to some unknown factors?

This possibility… couldn’t be completely ruled out, but it was purely speculative.

Even she couldn’t completely see through the power of The Master of Liu Village,

according to what that Quasi-Immortal Emperor from the Emperor Fallen era had said, it was very likely that The Master of Liu Village had also stepped into the Quasi-Emperor realm and had an unimaginable foundation.

Being able to enter The Boundary Sea without alerting the Dark Quasi-Emperor was a feat even she couldn’t accomplish now.

With Ao Sheng’s character, even if he couldn’t discern the true strength of The Master of Liu Village, he definitely wouldn’t have provoked them,

Ao Sheng may be despicable, but he had one virtue–that of being exceptionally cautious.

When he took action against her in the past, even though she was completely exhausted, he still wasn’t reassured and called upon both Primordial and Primitive–two Supreme Immortal Kings of the same Realm.

But no matter the specifics of the reason…

Just right, taking this opportunity, it was time to settle the karma from the events of the past.

She was the Ancestor of the Sacrificial Spirits, with countless followers like the stars in the Star Sea, never one to suffer in silence. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have entered the Alien Territory nine times; Ao Sheng’s ambush had sown the cause, now the effect must be resolved.

The next moment.

A solemnity that had never been seen before suddenly covered the woman’s flawlessly beautiful face.

Because of the separation created by The Boundary Sea and the fact that Jiang Hui had severed the connection between her and her avatar, she didn’t know that Jiang Hui had made a move against Ao Sheng and the others, let alone that Ao Sheng and his backers, including Senior Lu, had all been suppressed.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Willow God concealed her aura and headed for the giant city before her.

It wasn’t out of a deliberate attempt to be low-key.

It was simply because the pressure from a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was too terrifying. If she didn’t contain it, the Emperor’s Might would make it impossible for living beings below the Immortal Path Field to bear, instantly causing them to explode.

Moreover, the Willow God was now somewhat unsure whether Ao Sheng was in the Immortal King City.

She had used her Divine Thoughts to search for a long time and had not sensed the slightest trace of Ao Sheng, as if he had vanished from the mortal world.

During the process, she also utilized a secret technique to peer into the river of time, trying to understand what had happened in this period. Still, everything related to Ao Sheng was obscured by a mist, veiled by some power, and even she couldn’t see clearly.

However, just as the Willow God approached the Immortal King City, guardians wearing silver armor and wielding sharp spears quickly emerged from the four corners of the heavens and earth, their expressions stern as they said,

“No flying is allowed within the Holy Land, please enter through the city gates on foot, Senior.”

“Holy Land?”

The Willow God was somewhat surprised by the term, wondering to herself when Ao Sheng’s Immortal King City had changed its face to become a so-called “Holy Land”?

Could it be that in these years, a significant change had occurred that she was not aware of?

She looked around and saw that the intricate murals of the myriad beasts on the city walls were still as lifelike as ever, but the atmosphere within the city was completely different from her memories–there was more peace and tranquility and less of the usual deadly aura.

Feeling this, indeed, there was something amiss.

Still, it was the Immortal King City of Ao Sheng, that much was certain not to be wrong.

Yet the Willow God did not erupt in anger.

She merely nodded calmly and did not force her way in. This grudge between her and Ao Sheng had nothing to do with these armored guards.

At the same time, she looked in the direction the guard had pointed.

The first thing that caught her eye was a massive city gate, connecting heaven and earth, majestic to the extreme. Yet, in front of the city gate, many people queued up in long lines, bustling with activity.

Among them, she even spotted a few Existences of the Immortal King Level, queuing up honestly like ordinary beings.

Especially.

Among those few Immortal Kings, there was an old friend–

The Lord of the Forbidden Area.

Compared to when they parted ways back then, the soul body of the Lord of the Forbidden Area was even more solidified, able to appear under the sky for ten days straight, almost indistinct from a physical body.
