Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 818 - Chapter 818 Chapter 543 Martyr Tu Wa Zi and Absolute Knife

Chapter 818: Chapter 543: Martyr Tu Wa Zi and Absolute Knife Chapter 818: Chapter 543: Martyr Tu Wa Zi and Absolute Knife Transitioning from an Immortal King to an Immortal Emperor is unfathomably difficult for others, the Ten Thousand Clans, and all beings in the world.

To break through King and become Emperor.

These four words might sound simple, but to truly achieve this feat, it’s as hard as ascending to the heavens.

The barriers that must be broken, the heights to be reached, the foundation to be accumulated, and so on, are simply unimaginable and incalculable.

Even the most dazzling and peerless individuals might be stopped in their tracks, spending their lives in vain, possibly never breaking through.

Just like the Lord of the Forbidden Area and the Butcher.

Their strength and talent are undoubtedly unquestionable.

Especially the Butcher, to whom ordinary Immortal Kings are but ants, easily squashed by the palm, a whole group at a time.

Even for peerless immortals, Supreme Giants, they can be killed at will, suppressed with a mere gesture, possessing world-shaking power; and figures like An Lan and Yu Tuo from Alien Territories are nothing but insects that can be crushed effortlessly in his eyes.

Even beings like Ao Sheng are nothing but lackeys to that Cruel Man.

The former is infinitely close to the Realm of Immortal Emperor, as told by legends, and has even birthed the radiance of a Quasi-Emperor, just needing to leap through the entrance.

Though the Lord of the Forbidden Area is somewhat lesser in comparison, it’s ultimately not by much.

LATER, AFTER SHI HAO BECAME EMPEROR, he spent an incredibly long time and effort to elevate figures like the Butcher and the Lord of the Forbidden Area to the level of Immortal Emperors, seeking allies.

But until the end, these two never stepped into the Realm of Immortal Emperor.

Looking across the Perfect World, aside from the protagonists, the only true Emperors were those from the most ancient times like the Skeleton Immortal Emperor.

But even their state was not stable; otherwise, they would not have been contaminated by the dark and bizarre.

If said that an Immortal King is still in pursuit of the path,

then an Immortal Emperor is already a kind of Great Taoist.

Words lead to the creation of the path; “The Law Follows the Utterance,” every action is the Great Taoist, capable of creating laws out of thin air.

That realm cannot be reached by mere seclusion and cultivation.

Of course, as to what exactly is needed, Jiang Hui does not know.

He doesn’t know now, and he might still be unclear when he one day steps into the Emperor Realm.

Because the path to becoming an Emperor is different for everyone, and the guidance and experience of others can only serve as a reference. Whether one ultimately becomes an Emperor or not is something no one can say for certain.

But Jiang Hui is ultimately different.

Because he doesn’t need to worry about lingering in the Immortal King Realm for countless years.

Barriers like these simply do not exist for him.

If he has not stepped into the Realm of Immortal Emperor, what he most needs to reflect on is not whether he has diligently cultivated, but whether he has neglected to develop his followers and harvest experience points lately.

“To be honest, I don’t have any insights on how to break through from King to Emperor. Not to mention insights; I haven’t even come to my own understanding!”

In the end, Jiang Hui laughed and shook his head.

He couldn’t pretend to understand and talk nonsense with Emperor Merciless, spouting profound-seeming platitudes just to display his depth.

Such childish fantasies were best left in his own head.

To speak the truth, in terms of cultivating insights, he could never match those who proceeded step by step, relying on their own hands, their own efforts, braving countless obstacles to reach where they are today–these pragmatists.

Especially, a being like Emperor Merciless, an unparalleled figure even when considering the entire trilogy.

He, starting from a mere mortal body, facing difficulties equivalent to an ordinary Earth person from a poor family background relying solely on personal effort to become the richest person in the universe.

His words might fool children, but trying to appear knowledgeable in front of the Merciless Emperor was futile; he didn’t need to say much before being exposed after just a sentence or two.

As Jiang Hui’s voice fell, the eyes of Emperor Merciless, clear as autumn water, immediately flashed with a trace of disappointment, though she quickly returned to her usual composure.

She did not believe Jiang Hui’s words.

The Realm of Immortal Emperor is the ultimate pursuit of all beings. It might be feasible for lower-level cultivators, given the vast distance, but someone like her, who has stepped into the Immortal King Realm, cannot possibly lack the desire for the Immortal Emperor’s Realm, or lack her own insights.

The Master of Liu Village, probably just didn’t want to speak of it.

But this sort of thing can’t be demanded forcefully.

The Willow God, on the other hand, showed no disappointment, appearing unchanged.

Just then,

On the blue stone steps leading to the mountain peak,

A rapid patter of footsteps suddenly echoed.

The next moment,

A towering, burly figure appeared in front of the three.

It was Tu Wa Zi.

His expression was anxious, his eyes red as if he had just been crying; without saying a word, he kept knocking his head forcefully against the ground paved with blue stone slabs.

Before long,

Bright red blotches of blood could be seen seeping through on the blue stones,

Strikingly conspicuous.

Emperor Merciless noticed, but said nothing, only her gaze shifting slightly in surprise.

Having lived in Liu Village for some time, she naturally recognized this youth.

He was the central prodigy of the village, who at a young age already possessed the strength and qualifications to pursue Immortality; if he found his own path, attaining Immortality would be imminent.

To reach such a level at such a young age already showed remarkable talent; for ordinary beings to achieve Immortality, even geniuses would need hundreds of thousands, millions of years, or even longer.

If she remembered correctly, Emperor Huang Tian at this time was also only at this realm.

Yet she did not know what troubled the young man, causing him such grief upon arrival.

The Willow God, however, was continuously urging Tu Wa Zi to get up quickly.
