Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 904 - Chapter 904 Chapter 580 The Buried Person The Unearthed Dog_2

Chapter 904: Chapter 580: The Buried Person, The Unearthed Dog_2 Chapter 904: Chapter 580: The Buried Person, The Unearthed Dog_2 It was unexpected that after such a long time, he had still not completely refined that drop of essence blood; there was still a residual root left.

Normally, it was manageable. His six senses were clear, and his primordial spirit soul was as solid as a rock. The remnant root of the dark blood could only curl up in the deepest part of the primordial spirit, daring not to stir. Otherwise, he would have detected and erased it at once.

However, at this moment, his mood was troubled due to the failure of the Immortal King Tribulation, causing a sudden surge in his inner demons. This provided an opportunity for the remaining drop of dark blood.

Although it was impossible for it to cause any substantial impact on him, it still shocked Shi Hao!

The vitality of that drop of dark blood was too exaggerated. No wonder it could contaminate and erode the existence of the Immortal King Level, taking more than five hundred thousand years to be completely exhausted.

Moreover, although it was an inanimate object, it was as if it possessed intelligence, knowing exactly when to act. It was really unimaginable. Without exaggeration, apart from the dark blood, he had never seen such bizarre characteristics in any other thing. This was just one drop. What if there were two drops, three drops… countless drops? Could they gather into rivers and seas?

How then to resist?

Who could resist the invasion of that dark will?

After thinking, Shi Hao shared his own encounter and did not forget to inquire about the origins of the dark blood.

The Lord of the Forbidden Area had indeed restrained this drop of dark blood at the time but did not know its origins.

“You should not know about this now!” Jiang Hui shook his head.

“Why is that, senior?” Shi Hao asked with a puzzled face.

To know is to know, to not know is to not know, but why should there be a time constraint?

Suppose a person really experienced something like he did previously with the Three Generations Bronze Coffin, which distinguished past, present, and future states. Wouldn’t knowing now benefit his future self?!

Jiang Hui felt that he could not quite grasp the thoughts of these adults, not only the Master of Liu Village in front of him but also the Willow God. They were somewhat cryptic. What could be resolved in a single sentence, they preferred to remain ambiguous.

He did not mean to criticize or instruct. Whether it was the Willow God, the Lord of the Forbidden Area, or the Master of Liu Village in front of him, all were respected seniors whom he highly esteemed, each having great kindness towards him. He just felt this was too inefficient.

Watching the subtle changes in Shi Hao’s expression, a barely noticeable smile appeared on Jiang Hui’s lips. Although he could not see what Shi Hao was thinking, Shi Hao’s expressions made it easy to guess his current thoughts.

Gazing intently at Shi Hao, Jiang Hui’s eyes deepened immensely, flickering as if harboring two unimaginable black holes. After pausing for a moment, he finally spoke, “I know what you are thinking at this moment. I might as well tell you, knowing too early is actually not good for you. The cause and effect powers within you were forcibly erased in the river of time, but that does not mean they do not exist. Some beings are looking for you; you should know…”

“Are you referring to those two people, senior?” At that moment, Shi Hao’s tone unexpectedly calmed down.

“Ye Fan and Cruel Man are just one part; there are others, a group of beings beyond your imagination!”

“So their names are Ye Fan and Cruel Man!”

Shi Hao murmured inwardly. Meanwhile, his curiosity was piqued about what the supreme being in front of him referred to as unimaginable beings. From which clan did they come? Were they part of the Ten Thousand Clans? Why were they also looking for him?!

As Shi Hao pondered, Jiang Hui’s voice echoed once more.

“If you really want to know, I can reveal a bit to you. That so-called drop of dark blood inside you comes from a corpse!”

After saying that, Jiang Hui chose not to elaborate further.

Even if Emperor Huang Tian knew too much, it would be useless. The more he said, the more troublesome it became to explain, and Jiang Hui naturally disliked trouble.

Most importantly, he himself only knew a rough estimate. It was better to say less; speaking more might lead to mistakes. It was better to observe more.

Even so, it startled Shi Hao. He had speculated much, but he had never imagined that the dark blood might be related to a corpse?

It was too unimaginable.

Dark blood was related to dark forces.

If that was the case, wouldn’t it imply that the source of the dark turmoil was also related to that unknown corpse?

Such a conjecture might be too arbitrary, but even if not a definite connection, there certainly was not a small relationship.

Only…

“A corpse alone, where does this tremendous power come from?”

In other words, to what extent must the corpse have reached in life to achieve this step?

Let alone the Immortal King, even a Supreme Giant couldn’t possibly. Although death may trigger unknown changes in a region, it absolutely would not reach this extent; throughout the passage of time, countless existences at the Immortal King level have died within it.

He vaguely remembered, back when he asked the Master of Liu Village about the Ancient Guidance Palace, the other party had mentioned a few things related to the dark upheavals, explicitly saying it was beings of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

From this, it can be seen that the corpse might very well not be weaker than the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

However, the more Shi Hao thought about it, the more he couldn’t help but feel even more puzzled. Looking across the world, Immortal Kings are already considered to be at the pinnacle of existence, rarely falling, let alone those who have stepped into the Emperor Realm. Who killed him?

Could it be another existence at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, who in order to successfully initiate the dark upheavals, therefore brutally murdered him and sacrificed the former’s imperial blood!

The more Shi Hao pondered, the more he felt this possibility was very likely!

For a moment, he felt Jiang Hui’s extraordinariness and mystery even more deeply, which had already climbed several floors, and now ascended further.

Who could know so many secrets?

Even from the Ancient Immortal Era to the present, Willow God, the Lord of the Forbidden Area, and others have only a partial understanding of many things, so they would venture everything to step on the dam, seeking the ultimate source.

But this person from Liu Village, not only does he know the identities of that man and woman, he even knows the origin of the Dark Blood as if he were a person behind the scenes, watching as the world changes, the guardian by the river.

Others guard ordinary rivers and streams, but this one guards the river of time.

Standing above the river of time, overlooking it rushing forward, churning like the tide, all the hidden truths of the world become clear to him.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

The other party has an indescribable quality, a true transcendent sage unmatched by anyone.

Even placing people like the Willow God and the Lord of the Forbidden Area next to him, he still has to follow his own conscience.

“Well, since I’ve spoken, I will finally impart to you a few more words. You must remember them well in your heart, and whether you can comprehend anything from them will entirely depend on your own perception!”

“Please speak, senior!” Shi Hao immediately straightened his body and turned his ear to listen.

First of all, his attitude was very proper, making one feel respected. No wonder, throughout his journey, though he has made many enemies, Shi Hao has always had noble people by his side.

Attitude combined with talent, this is truly the most sincere weapon in the world!

“Throughout ancient and modern times, only between life and death, within a burial of a lifeless body in an area where life has disappeared, might one comprehend the transcendent, the pure sensation!”

Jiang Hui offered this very reasonable advice.

Shi Hao scratched his head, utterly confused, and just as he was about to ask a question, he looked up and discovered that he had somehow already arrived at the base of the mountain.

All without knowing or sensing, even he had not noticed a thing.

Meanwhile.

Something happened within Heavenly Court.

The lives of a man and a dog were soon to end.

Cao Yu Sheng was no longer young, dressed in a tattered purple and yellow Daoist robe, completely turned into an old Taoist priest.

Next to him, the black dog’s fur was no longer smooth and shiny.

Both the man and the dog had reached the age near their end.

Strictly speaking, Cao Yu Sheng’s talent was still decent, but for some reason, he could never break through.

Having learned that Cao Yu Sheng had devised The Method of Extending Life by Burial and Seeking the Way, Shi Hao specifically made a trip to The Boundary Sea, using God Source Liquid and the seldom-seen Instant Soil to bury them.
