Chapter 1717: Chapter 1033: Ghost Emperor, the Change Brought by the Fourth World Tree (Part 2)

In the shadows.

He saw the grand and eternal divine figures ascended step by step, their robes fluttering, some with eyes that could open the cosmos with a mere glance, others with ethereal immortal auras ascending to transcendence, noble young lords, and unparalleled heroes seeking imperial domination...

Too many...

One figure after another, these vast existences gazing over the universe, ascended the winding, dragon-like steps, endless in sight, all with solemn expressions, like pilgrims going to meet the one True God.

The aura they emitted sent tremors through all beings, shaking the world, in harmony with the Great Taoist, timeless and enduring, even when all would eventually cease to be, their silhouettes would never be extinguished...

This village undoubtedly birthed a true Immortal Emperor!

At this moment, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor from another world was utterly convinced.

Existences at the Immortal Emperor Level had lingered here, not just one, and it had been long enough for their aura to engrave the bluish stones, creating such a phenomenon.

Is this a village?

...

Old man Lin stopped in front of a quaint, small courtyard.

The courtyard wasn’t large, with walls made of bluish stones, and old Willow Trees grew densely within, enclosing the yard tightly.

"The Adult is inside, you can go in on your own." Old man Lin gestured.

Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor from another world nodded with his head lowered, tidied his robe, then pushed the door open and entered.

There was a pavilion in the yard.

Under the pavilion, a man in white sat beside a stone table, holding an ancient book with a focused expression.

His face unmatched, his demeanor refined and unrestrained, gave off an aura of elegant detachment, though his Realm was indiscernible.

Yet, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor from another world sensed an immense invisible pressure, as if he faced not a person, but an endless universe.

His mind tightened in vigilance, immediately realizing this might be the Adult, referred to by the village head.

Not certain if he was the Double Pupils Immortal Emperor or the Banished Immortal Emperor...

However, based on appearances, he seemed somewhat to fit the Banished Immortal Emperor.

As the Quasi-Immortal Emperor from another world pushed the door open and entered, the man in white set aside the scroll in his hand and looked at him leisurely.

The man’s gaze was deep as lightning, and in an instant, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor felt utterly seen through, all secrets laid bare before this gaze.

This feeling was terrifying, like an ant gazing upon a Deity, that transcendence merging with the Great Taoist.

How could there be such disparity?!

After all, he was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor too, reaching this Realm was quite rare, few and far between, yet he couldn’t withstand even a gaze, too extravagant.

Jiang Hui smiled slightly, his smile gentle and indifferent, "No need for formalities, come and sit."

"Junior Yang Yi, greets Senior." The Quasi-Immortal Emperor hurriedly saluted, then thoughtfully added, "I hope my abrupt intrusion hasn’t disturbed your meditation, Senior."

His attitude was sincere, his tone earnest, especially upon sensing Jiang Hui’s extraordinariness, even more so, for strength itself anywhere, whether or not helping them, was enough to command respect in the Ten Thousand Realms, where power has always been supreme.

Jiang Hui smiled faintly, "No matter. You came here to escape the calamity, I’m obliged to be a gracious host. In the future, as the realms fall silent, an unprecedented calamity shall raze all Dao Foundations, turning worlds to ruins, and it is only right to aid each other in such trying times."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yi’s expression turned solemn, "Senior has also sensed the calamity that will engulf All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds?"

Jiang Hui nodded slightly.

"Does Senior have a method to resolve it?" Yang Yi seemed to recall something and quickly asked.

Here there truly existed an Immortal Emperor, and the one before him was likely one of the utmost level Immortal Emperor, even a well-established veteran Immortal Emperor.

Such strength, unparalleled in history, capturing the attention of all, why not just act and dissolve the calamity into nothing?!

After all, if the calamity would eventually overwhelm All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, it was obvious they wouldn’t escape it here either; rather than waiting for the calamity, they should eliminate the danger before it occurs.

Seeming to discern the thoughts of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor from another world, Jiang Hui smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Things are not as simple as you think, I can only tell you that if you wish to end this calamity, an Immortal Emperor alone is not enough."

"Even a Road End level Immortal Emperor cannot suppress the calamity?"

Yang Yi was truly startled, like thunder striking, it resounded within his mind, leaving him unable to regain his composure for a long time.

In his view, an Immortal Emperor was the culmination of any system, without exception, the end point of all cultivation paths, no matter what, that step was the final destination.

Having reached the Immortal Emperor’s Realm, further advancement was impossible.

In this Realm, omnipotent, where The Law Follows the Utterance, a mere thought can annihilate All Heavens, even slightly stomping a foot makes the Great Universe tremble thrice, even reversing life and death, reviving the dead.

Time barriers seemingly non-existent, yet unable to end a calamity?

Suddenly, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor from another world realized, why did this person know so much? And from his words, it seemed he already faced the source of this calamity directly, otherwise, how could he know so much about these secretive matters?!

"Senior..." Yang Yi spoke, "Senior has already faced the source of that calamity?"

The other was likely an Immortal Emperor, how could he possibly remain indifferent, perhaps had already followed the path of the future to confront the calamity, but saying this, it likely meant something happened in between, or this Senior had discovered something.

Jiang Hui’s voice was distant, "You’re quite perceptive to notice this."

"Indeed, I have crossed paths with the source of that calamity."

"Could Senior elaborate?" Yang Yi eagerly asked.

That calamity made him uneasy, leading him to traverse mountains and waters, desperate for more hidden knowledge.

"Hahaha, saying too much is useless, some things need no explanation, when the calamity descends, you shall know."

Jiang Hui waved his hand.

In the distance, the red sunset cast golden rays, spreading behind him.

The mountains stretched endlessly, solitary smoke rose straightly, stirring the desolation of the earth.

The river wound, and the sunset hung full in the sky.

In that moment, a hard-to-describe desolation spread, as if time froze and years fell silent here.

Yang Yi pursed his lips and nodded.

He inquired about a place for them to stay.

"No need to worry about that, the Immortal Domain is vast enough to accommodate you.

However, let me speak candidly upfront.

Though the Immortal Domain is large, it isn’t devoid of disasters and trials. Since you’ve chosen to settle here, you must abide by the rules of this place."

Yang Yi’s heart tightened as he promptly said, "Senior’s words are true, what are the rules of your esteemed domain, please inform me clearly."

"There aren’t any particularly cumbersome rules, but there’s one thing you need to pay special attention to.

Since you’ve entered this land, each of you must make a solemn vow to the Great Taoist, never to betray this domain, nor reveal its secrets.

Of course, I will erase all the tracks of your journey."

"Even if Senior hadn’t said, I would’ve done so myself."

Jiang Hui nodded in satisfaction, while drawing a Jade Slip from his sleeve, and handed it to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, "This Jade Slip records the places prepared for your accommodation, just follow the guide."

The Quasi-Immortal Emperor rose and saluted, his expression uncharacteristically excited, "Thank you, Senior, for your generosity."

"No need for formalities. Go back and inform everyone so they may rest assured. The Immortal Domain will accommodate you, distant guests."

Yang Yi respectfully clasped his fists, then turned away.

Jiang Hui, however, delved deeply into his Sea of Consciousness.

Amidst the vast aura, glorious rays filled the Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, a mere thought summoned an ancient dark jade-like Token into his hand.

A Token symbolizing the authority of the Ghost Emperor.

Just then.

Yang Yi, who had already intended to leave, suddenly returned.

"Senior, I have one more immodest request." Yang Yi clasped his fists and saluted.

"Speak without concern."

"It’s like this, I have a World Tree Seed in my hands, originally intended to plant in my own dwelling, but due to the foresight of the great calamity, I brought it along.

I observed that since two World Trees are already in this village, your land must be especially suitable for World Tree growth.

Might I plant this seed here to add some vitality to the village?"
