Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 822 - Chapter 822 Chapter 545 You Wouldnt Blame Me Would You

Chapter 822: Chapter 545: You Wouldn’t Blame Me, Would You? Chapter 822: Chapter 545: You Wouldn’t Blame Me, Would You? Having completed only the first evolution of the Absolute Knife, Jiang Hui had spent over seven hundred years.

This period of time cannot be considered short.

Of course, this was closely related to the level of the weapons he used.

That a pile of ordinary mortal steel could achieve this was already quite remarkable.

“Let’s continue!”

Jiang Hui pondered inwardly.

Though slow, the iron and stone were inexhaustible and cost-free, which for him was like a profitable business without capital.

Moreover, this process also refined and polished his own self, like Pao Gong dissecting an ox or an old man pasting cicadas; it might even bring unexpected gains…

…

…

In the five thousand and fourth year.

As another batch of steel knives was absorbed by the Absolute Knife, turning to ash and scattering in the wind.

Jiang Hui did not continue to forge these ordinary weapons.

Because he felt a faint connection.

It was like a series of gentle calls.

Coming forth from the Absolute Knife.

Hinting that these mundane weapons could no longer contribute to its enhancement.

Though they would still be absorbed after being forged, the effect was now negligible, almost imperceptible.

Not to mention thousands of years, even hundreds of millions or tens of millions of years would not be enough to accumulate the energy needed for the Absolute Knife’s evolution.

Perhaps across several eras, it could accumulate enough, but that time frame was far too lengthy for Jiang Hui; by then, daylilies would have cooled through and through.

“A business without capital still won’t work; there’s always a give and take. That’s the rule of Heaven and Earth, and also the principle of Dao. With my current strength, I still can’t transcend it!”

Jiang Hui chuckled and shook his head, no longer harboring illusions.

With that thought, he waved forward, and with an unimaginable surge of Chaotic Aura, the vast emptiness once again tore open.

The next moment.

A pile of weapons enveloped in Chaotic Qi, bursting with dazzling light, suddenly appeared before him.

These weapons did not fall to the ground but hovered in the air, each shrouded in a faint glow, each uniquely designed, no longer just in the shapes of swords and knives.

Compared to those forged from mere iron and stone, these weapons were undoubtedly of a much higher caliber in appearance.

Naturally, these blades had surpassed the category of mere mortal weapons. They were true Divine Weapons, capable of integrating Rune power without destruction, collected from the Immortal Palace and various devastated sects.

For Jiang Hui, however, these weapons were still no better than scraps of metal.

Their extraordinariness was merely due to the addition of some rarer materials, such as a little Immortal Gold, Spirit Steel, or Blood Stones, or the application of some formations.

Beyond these, Jiang Hui gritted his teeth and pulled out some massive True Immortal-Level Armaments and a few Fairy King Artifacts.

These were truly valuable items; the Fairy King Artifacts were especially rare and extraordinary.

All had been scavenged from the residences of Ao Sheng, Primordial, and Primitive, the three Great Immortal Kings.

After he had slain these three individuals, following Liu Village’s long-standing tradition, he had plundered all the treasures housed within these three families immediately.

The situation at Ao Sheng City was still manageable, as it had already become an Immortal City of Liu Village, hence there were some restraints.

But as for the remaining two families, whether valuable or not, adhering to the principle of never letting anything slip by, nearly everything was plundered, leaving them with nothing.

Thus, there were naturally many good items.

Not to mention the numerous common Immortal-Level weapons.

Such items were hard to come by; for weaponries of the Human Path Domain to ascend to Immortality, the difficulty was as great as reaching Heaven, requiring not only various precious and rare materials such as Immortal Gold but also continuous nurturing with Longevity Breath day and night by the caster.

Something Jiang Hui could not create on his own.

He had initially wanted to give these items to the outstanding individuals of the village or reward those who had made significant contributions to Liu Village as encouragement.

Rewards for merit, penalties for faults.

Clear demarcation of rewards and punishments, that was the consistent principle of Liu Village.

However, at the moment, driven by the choice of not trapping a wolf if unwilling to sacrifice a child, Jiang Hui had to painfully part with these items.

Worst comes to worst, he could always plunder a few more houses later, or even warm up a few pieces himself.

All the Immortal Weapons hovered in the air, exploding with dazzling brilliance, especially those few hard-to-come-by Fairy King Artifacts, which shone like mighty golden suns.

The ancient times.

The Sun Crow was shot down by a powerful being.

Since then, the world has been plunged into darkness, unable to differentiate between day and night.

The powerful being could only cast his sun-shooting weapons into the sky.

That weapon was of the Immortal King Level, and the light it burst forth in an instant was no less than that of the Sun Crow. It hung in the sky for hundreds of thousands of years before it was finally retracted.

“Hum…”

Feeling the presence of so many treasures.

Suddenly, several loud, clear sounds of a knife’s ring came from the Absolute Knife, like a tiger descending the mountain or a dragon startling the valley.

“Eat, eat, they are all yours!” Jiang Hui patted the Absolute Knife in his hand.

The Absolute Knife immediately trembled, seemingly unable to contain its excitement.

Shortly thereafter.

A larger black halo appeared in the sky, covering the sun and enveloping all the land.

“Swoosh, swoosh…”

Quickly, streaks of light like shooting stars were drawn out from those suspended Immortal Weapons, constantly pouring into the black halo like a long rainbow piercing the sun.

This time it took quite a while before the halo finally disappeared.

However, those Immortal Weapons and Fairy King Artifacts didn’t vanish into dust like ordinary weapons; instead, they lost all their spirituality and became like common weapons, clanging non-stop as they fell to the ground.

On the other hand, the Absolute Knife.

From within the black halo emitted a streak of dawn light, gathering on the Absolute Knife, forming an oval shape similar to a silk cocoon.

The second evolution began!

“Several pieces of Immortal King Armaments plus a bunch of ordinary Immortal Soldiers, and yet only then did the Absolute Knife usher in its second evolution. Good grief, that’s really resource-intensive!” Jiang Hui inwardly smiled wryly.

He had originally thought that at least one or two pieces of the Immortal King Armaments would be left for him. Who could have expected that not even half a piece would remain?

You know, this was only the second time; he couldn’t even begin to imagine the third.

Perhaps he really should start traveling around.

“Hmm?”

It was during the evolution of the Absolute Knife that Jiang Hui sensed something, his gaze suddenly turning towards a part of the village.

It was where Tu Wa Zi and the War Goddess resided.

On either side of the house, unknown fruits and vegetables grew lusciously, full of vibrant purple and red blossoms that attracted buzzing bees.

Undoubtedly.

The place was very peaceful.

At this moment, a formidable aura surged.

It was the War Goddess.

Above her head, a Flame of God blossomed gloriously, utterly dazzling. It started off ethereal and eventually solidified into a concentrated form.

In a thousand years, she not only had numerous breakthroughs into the Noble Realm but had also ignited the Divine Flame.

Jiang Hui glanced twice, withdrew his gaze, and then looked towards another place.

It was the residence of Emperor Merciless.

He could feel that the aura of the War Goddess seemed to have an added shadow of this unparalleled figure.

Specifically, it was the aura of the Swallow the Sky Demon Skill.

The woman wearing the Ghost Face Mask seemed to have sensed Jiang Hui’s gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then headed straight for the back mountain.

“Your Excellency doesn’t think I am meddling too much, does he?”

Before the man arrived, Emperor Merciless’s voice came first.

“I taught the technique privately, Your Excellency wouldn’t blame me, right?”

Jiang Hui smiled and didn’t speak, merely shaking his head.

Joke, how could he possibly blame him!

He’d actually love if Emperor Merciless could pass all his lifelong skills onto his disciples. Those were all glaring Experience Points, after all.
