Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 1321 - Chapter 1321 Chapter 828 Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke

Chapter 1321: Chapter 828: Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke Chapter 1321: Chapter 828: Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke “Elders, due to an urgent matter, I must depart immediately. I shall rely on you to protect this place against any unforeseen events until I return.”

Shi Hao’s voice is steady and strong, each word imbued with undeniable resolve.

Hearing this, the Lord of the Forbidden Area slowly nodded:

“Go ahead, Huang; although we old bones haven’t been active for a long time, we still have the spirit of a seasoned steed yearning to gallop a thousand miles. We can still make a show of force if necessary. We will stay here to guard your rear, quietly awaiting your return.”

Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi echoed the sentiment.

Shi Hao bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

Then, with determination, in a single thought, he transformed into a streak of light soaring toward Liu Village.

Before long, the serene and harmonious village came into view.

Green trees shaded the village, and the streams flowed gently, depicting a scene straight out of Paradise, starkly contrasting the outside world’s tense atmosphere.

The village remained tranquil; many villagers could be seen carrying hoes, on their way to work the fields.

While the outside world was ablaze with activity, this place continued its calm as if nothing mattered.

Shi Hao felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

Looking over the entire Immortal Domain, and even across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, perhaps only here could it be like this.

What does the outside world’s strife have to do with me?

Let the other wander like drifting duckweed; I shall stand firm and unmoved.

So it is!

At that moment, Shi Hao saw a familiar figure and hurried over.

The figure was none other than Old man Lin, waiting at the foot of the mountain.

“Grandpa Lin!” Shi Hao quickened his pace and greeted him with respect; Grandpa Lin was one of the elders Shi Hao respected most in his heart.

Most importantly, like Grandpa Shi Yun Feng, he was so amiable that every time Shi Hao saw Old man Lin, the image of Shi Yun Feng came to mind, stirring his emotions.

“Hahaha, who do I think it is, if not Little Stone!” Seeing that it was Shi Hao, Old man Lin immediately greeted him with a warm smile.

Perhaps it was because of the imminent war.

Or maybe it was frustration with this chaotic world.

Or perhaps it’s the memories of days long past rising to the heart.

Even the usually strong and resolute Shi Hao couldn’t help but feel a twinge in his nose.

Previously, besides Old man Lin, Shi Yun Feng also used to call him that, but as time passed and situations changed, now only Grandpa Lin remained.

“I came to see Grandpa Lin.” Shi Hao quickly composed himself and said with a smile.

“Hahaha, you slick little rascal, certainly you have something else in mind too, right? Just spit it out. As long as Grandpa Lin can do it, I will not hesitate. Come to think of it, although my contact with Grandpa Shi wasn’t long, we were rather kindred spirits. You too are like a child to me; I’ve watched you grow up, so just treat Liu Village as your own home,” Old man Lin said with a benevolent smile.

“It’s just like Grandpa Lin to understand me.”

Shi Hao nodded, feeling a warm current in his heart, and then handed over the copper coffin he was carrying.

“Grandpa Lin, my two children are sealed inside this coffin. I need to place them here temporarily, hoping you can look after them until I return.”

Grandpa Lin took the copper coffin and gently caressed its surface; a flicker of recognition passed through his eyes, and he immediately understood, letting out a long sigh, “Child, although you have come this far out of adversity, Grandpa Lin knows your heart longs for peace, and even now, you do so only out of necessity… Now that the great enemy is upon us… Sigh, rest assured, old man will protect them until your return — this is Liu Village!!!”

“Thank you, Grandpa Lin,” Shi Hao said sincerely.

“Look at you, kid, being all formal for nothing. There’s no need for such courtesies between you and me,” Old man Lin waved his hand and said with feigned sternness.

…

…

On the borders of the Immortal Domain’s Frontier Wilderness.

Looking out into the horizon.

The sky here displays a faint blue-purple hue, and even during clear daylight, one can vaguely see the stars shimmering, profound and distant, creating a unique atmosphere.

Amongst the ancient trees reaching for the sky, with lush and leafy branches, and the gurgling streams, everywhere one looks are majestic green mountains and fruit trees heavy with ripened fruit.

This scenery is utterly opposite to that of the Frontier Wilderness of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Rather than calling it Frontier Wilderness, it would be more accurate to say it’s an untouched land.

In fact,

The Frontier Wilderness of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was originally a landscape like this. Although its spiritual energy may not be as rich, it was undeniably an excellent and wondrous place, only to be left devastated by an alien invasion.

Endless yellow sand and incalculable miles of bloodshed.

But the similarity lies in the fact that,

Even for the Immortal Domain, the Frontier Wilderness is without a doubt one of the weakest places, second to none.

Therefore, despite the fact that the spiritual matter here is not weaker than in other places, there are not many forces stationed here.

The majority are indigenous tribes who have bred and developed over generations, gradually forming the representatives of power in this area.

At this moment,

In the central region,

Inside a grand hall,

The clan leaders of several major local clans looked at each other in dismay.

Hearing the senior seated in the highest place speak directly about the alien forces marching towards this place, even after a long time, they still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Those who stay in the Frontier Wilderness,

Could never be considered powerful forces, not even classified as minor ones, and the prosperity of a clan is closely linked to the bloodlines it spawns.

Therefore, even after generations of development, the foundation of these few major Frontier Wilderness clans is still negligible. The clan leaders, considered the top within their clans, are not even counted as Supremes.

The strongest among them is the clan leader of the Fire Lion Tribe, who has just barely stepped into the Divine Realm.

The others are even more preposterous, barely half a step into the Divine Realm.

Such strength doesn’t hold much esteem in the Immortal Domain.

Only by moving their clans to the Frontier Wilderness could they avoid constant threats from competitors.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.

This is the principle of survival that the Ten Thousand Clans of the Immortal Domain have believed in since ancient times.

The senior seated at the highest place is a descendant of the Daoist Master of the Heavenly Dao, half-step into the Quasi-Celestial King Realm.

Every hundred thousand years, the Frontier Wilderness would rotate a powerful figure of half a step Quasi-King to King Realm to oversee the region, and it so happens to be the turn of the descendant of the Daoist Master of the Heavenly Dao.

The senior, named Yun Zi, a descendant of the Daoist Master of the Heavenly Dao, possesses the cultivation of half-step Quasi-Immortal King, making him in this Frontier Wilderness land seem like an unmoving mountain. However, at this moment, his eyes show a sense of helplessness.

Inside the grand hall, the flickering candlelight casts shadows upon the elder’s deeply-lined face, adding a sense of time-worn experience.

Looking at the few so-called clan leaders below, who appear quite foolish and stunned, the senior can’t help but let out a long sigh.

Truly, fools have no concerns for food and drink; the alien realm’s countless fierce soldiers are almost at their doorstep, and yet they remain clueless–ignorant of everything, which is both frustrating and annoying to him.

Relying on these forces to withstand the first wave of the alien army’s attack is like a fool’s dream.

Now, the only hope is for his father to quickly send reinforcements; otherwise, this child really will have to flee.

Yun Zi’s thoughts are in disarray.

However, although his heart is in utmost urgency, his face still maintains the calmness and dignity passed down from the heirs of the Heavenly Dao.

Though he may not be an Immortal King of that kind, a half-step Quasi-Immortal King is still a king. With the authority of the king present here, if he were to panic undignifiedly, what would that look like?!

He slowly stands up, his gaze piercing as he surveys every person in the grand hall.

His gaze, like the blazing sun, instantly causes unrest in the hall, calming down the people who were on the verge of a noisy argument to immediate silence.
