Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 1528 - 937: Why Such Hurry?

Chapter 1528: Chapter 937: Why Such Hurry?

On the premise of not confirming whether Brother Jiang of the Dao knew this person had anomalies related to the Bizarre Clan.

Willow God decided not to alert the enemy.

Of course, this consideration also included an assessment of both sides’ strengths.

"Skeleton Friend, even if you have a deep friendship with Brother Jiang of the Dao, the rules here cannot be violated. Brother Jiang of the Dao has shown kindness to me, and I must protect the peace of this place without fail."

The Skeleton Immortal Emperor laughed heartily upon hearing this, with a tinge of forthrightness and carefreeness in his laughter:

"You are overly concerned. I, the Skeleton Immortal Emperor, have always acted honorably, how could I do such a petty thing? Since the rules here are so, I will depart at once. However..."

He suddenly changed his tone, his eyes filled with curiosity:

"Does Your Excellency know the origin of this place? Its wonders are beyond imagination.

It is truly unimaginable, even for someone of my realm, to gain sudden enlightenment here.

Furthermore, it can even heal my injuries, an unprecedented phenomenon, even with my experiences."

The shock and curiosity in the Skeleton Immortal Emperor’s voice were undisguised.

Hearing that the Divine Bamboo Forest could also heal injuries, Willow God’s brows furrowed slightly, thinking to herself, when did this place gain such a function?

It wasn’t Willow God’s fault for not knowing. Since the last great battle, the woman had felt her power insufficient and had been in closed-door seclusion.

Jiang Hui planted the Immortal Grass of the Four Seasons in the forest while she was in seclusion. A mere thought, the woman naturally wouldn’t know.

However, seeing that the Skeleton Immortal Emperor wasn’t lying, she temporarily put this doubt aside and answered the first question:

"This place is called the Questioning Path Divine Bamboo Forest, a technique of Brother Jiang of the Dao. As for its origin, I don’t know; only Brother Jiang of the Dao might know.

Additionally, this place indeed possesses the power to induce sudden enlightenment. The swaying bamboo forest contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, from which even an Emperor could benefit.

As for the healing of your injuries, it might be due to the dense immortal energy here, or some other unknown reason."

Upon hearing this, the Skeleton Immortal Emperor savored the words in his mouth and then suddenly burst into hearty laughter, booming with heroism:

"Questioning Path Divine Bamboo Forest, questioning and seeking the Dao, all in sudden enlightenment, in a day or night, if enlightened one could reach... What a name, truly a great name... It matches this place perfectly!"

"Will Your Excellency leave?" Willow God asked.

It was not difficult to discern from this conversation that the other party didn’t know the existence of the Questioning Path Divine Bamboo Forest, and naturally, couldn’t have obtained Brother Jiang of the Dao’s permission to enter.

The Skeleton Immortal Emperor laughed heartily, nonchalantly: "Your Excellency speaks the truth, it was presumptuous of me. Since these are the rules here, I will no longer disturb you and will leave at once."

With that, he turned to leave but paused as if remembering something: "Does your Excellency know where Brother Jiang of the Dao has gone? I have gained insights and wish to discuss them with him, but I have searched everywhere without finding a trace of him!"

Willow God quickly shook her head, indicating she did not know.

Since the last battle against the Mysterious Army, she had been in seclusion in the bamboo forest and had no knowledge of where Jiang Hui had gone.

Even if she were not in seclusion, it would be hard to say if she knew the man’s whereabouts, for he wouldn’t report his movements to her.

Perhaps Ru Yan might know, after all, she was his bedfellow.

But frustratingly, she also didn’t know Ru Yan’s whereabouts.

"Very well, thank you." The Skeleton Immortal Emperor was only asking on a whim. As soon as he finished speaking, he fulfilled his promise and left the bamboo forest.

Indeed, this place had ensnared him for a while. From ancient times, there had never been such heaven-defying treasures.

But he had always been true to his word.

Willow God was somewhat astonished, not expecting the Skeleton Immortal Emperor to actually leave.

...

...

Above heaven.

The war, which had continued for untold years, still raged on.

This great realm, even more vast than the Immortal Domain, persisted stubbornly, although it had been gradually falling inch by inch.

With the nation broken and families destroyed, especially in their birthland, many heroic figures had emerged.

To the extreme north, a vast and continuous mountain range stood mightily, towering high like gigantic waves in the ocean, rising and falling in an extremity of violence.

Looking far into the distance, one could almost not see the end of this mountain range.

In the center of the mountains, a massive, rusty ancient ship lay across, filled with skeletons and rivers of blood. The bright red blood had long since soaked the seemingly Immortal Gold-forged sturdy hull.

On the bow deck sat two colossal corpses, even though they had been dead for unknown eons, they still emitted unimaginable powerful energies. Even as mere corpses, they remained dazzling and revered, making people unable to look directly at them.

These were the indigenous supreme giants of this world above heaven, with a foot already in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, exceptionally powerful, yet they were still slain, their heads decapitated, with fresh blood still oozing from the wounds as if they had just fallen not long ago.

Beside them, Ye Fan and Cruel Man were stained with black blood, the marks of battle, both tired but continuously staring at the two corpses, eyes full of sorrow and regret.

It was unknown how many supreme giants had fallen, making both of them increasingly exhausted, seeing no hope for the future.

At this moment, their expressions changed, and they hid instantly. The next moment, the heavens trembled, the mountains quaked, rocks and woods tumbled, as if the entire world was shaking. An enormous, jet-black ship, massive as a planet, tore through the void like a ferocious beast diving down. Its appearance changed the color of the whole world, as though even this great realm could not withstand its might.

Where the massive stern of the ship touched, black flames ignited instantly, burning everything to ashes, destroyed by supreme power. The flames, like demonic fangs, devoured everything, causing the land to tremble.

On the deck of the jet-black ancient ship stood four figures, their auras overwhelmingly powerful, like towering mountains, making it hard for anyone to breathe. Especially the first two figures, shrouded in black mist, even Ye Fan and Cruel Man could not see their true faces. They felt as if a colossal mountain pressed down on them, making it difficult to breathe; they were alarmed, realizing that only True Emperors of the Phantom Immortal Emperor level could make them feel this way.

"It seems we’ve been discovered," Cruel Man said in a low voice, his eyes flashing with cold light.

Ye Fan nodded, his expression solemn: "Two Phantom Immortal Emperors, two Quasi-Immortal Emperors, quite a lineup. It seems the Bizarre Clan has spent large resources to eliminate us."

The two immediately intended to strike first, but then noticed that the jet-black ancient ship, which carried the Phantom Immortal Emperors, did not linger for even a moment but departed hurriedly, as if there was something urgent. This made them even more shocked; could it be that the Bizarre Clan had discovered something important or secret?

"It’s not because of us, but... why such haste?" Ye Fan and Cruel Man exchanged glances, both showing confusion.

They had long been on the Bizarre Clan’s must-eliminate list.

With two Phantom Immortal Emperors and two Quasi-Immortal Emperors, the exhausted them simply couldn’t resist.

This could only mean two things.

One, they were not discovered.

Two, there was a more urgent matter.

Possibly both reasons applied.

But such hasty actions were most certainly related to the second reason.

But what could make even the Phantom Immortal Emperors so hurried?!
