Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity
Chapter 996 - Chapter 996 Chapter 626 Its Useless to Come Here

Chapter 996: Chapter 626: It’s Useless to Come Here Chapter 996: Chapter 626: It’s Useless to Come Here “Perhaps, there is someone who might know exactly where your physical bodies are sealed…”

Around, the sound of the bell lingered, although it had already stopped, the remnants of its toll still quietly continued to echo. It no longer sounded dull but resembled someone playing a harp.

The Lord of the Forbidden Area pondered for a moment, then withdrew his gaze slowly from Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi, and then spoke solemnly.

“Who is it?”

Upon hearing this, Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi, without a second thought, immediately asked in return, extremely urgently.

If such a statement had come from anyone else, they would have been full of doubts, but coming from him, it was almost certainly true.

No wonder the two of them reacted this way.

Their physical bodies were undoubtedly the biggest issue presently before them.

Only by finding their physical bodies would they truly be flawless.

The status of the Primordial Spirit, after all, was not long-lasting.

It wasn’t just about diminished strength.

The physical body is equivalent to a container, and also acts as a protective layer.

Without a container, a soul exposed under the blazing sun can easily become injured.

It’s not that the sunshine would harm their souls, maybe at a lower realm it would, but at their level, it’s like taking a warm bath in broad daylight without getting hurt.

However, compared to having a physical container for protection, the margin for error is much too low.

After all, although the blazing sun might not amount to much, there are far too many things in the world stronger than it.

And even the smallest injury to the soul can never be considered minor.

It’s like an ordinary person — without the protection of skin, even a drop of water falling on them can cause heart-wrenching pain, and could even be lethal.

“The Master of Liu Village!”

The Lord of the Forbidden Area pursed his lips and then slowly let out four words.

These four words seemed to carry an indescribable weight, as heavy as ten thousand catties, like numerous Majestic Peaks pressing down, landing heavy on the heart of Lord of the Forbidden Area, making his voice deepen.

“Is it He?!” Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi exchanged glances, inadvertently frowning slightly.

While they were in the Void God Realm, Huang, whenever seeking them out, always seemingly intentionally or unintentionally brought up The Master of Liu Village.

Not to exaggerate, those few words were almost worn out in their ears.

However… the two ultimately found it hard to believe.

“What? Do the two fellow Daoists know of him?”

“Huang mentioned him to us, claiming he’s immensely powerful, unimaginably so. The previous ruler of Immortal Domain, Ao Sheng, even died by His hands.”

Grandpa Jing Bi nodded, then continued with a hint of doubt in his tone:

“Not to conceal from your excellency, we are somewhat reluctant to believe it, after all, we have witnessed the strength of Ao Sheng and others before, which is already extremely formidable, nearly at the pinnacle of the King’s Domain.

For The Master of Liu Village to defeat Ao Sheng alone might be possible, but to successively vanquish giants like Ao Sheng, Primordial, and Primitive – it seems a bit exaggerated… So, is He really that powerful?”

“It seems Huang is quite close to you two, telling you about all these matters.”

The Lord of the Forbidden Area laughed heartily twice. Then, suddenly resetting his face to utmost seriousness, he nodded with the utmost certainty.

“Although this venerable one does not know what exactly Huang the boy has told you two, no matter what he has said, this venerable one can directly and responsibly tell you, He is only stronger than what Huang has described!”

“This…”

Upon hearing such a confident response from the Lord of the Forbidden Area, Grandpa Jing Bi and Bird Grandpa were momentarily stunned.

If they could still doubt what that bratty kid said, the person before them would undoubtedly only speak the plain truth.

From that ancient era to the present day.

It seemed they had never heard anyone receive such high praise and recognition from him!

Especially that last statement that no matter what was said, He could only be stronger, shook them to the core while also rendering them incredulous.

He could only be stronger — just how strong must that be?

“May I ask… compared to your excellency?”

After a long moment, regathering his composure, Grandpa Jing Bi couldn’t help but ask.

He might be the first piece of Imperial Dao Immortal Gold formed since the creation of heaven and earth, although not yet having reached the status of an Immortal Path giant, he, older and more ancient, had even witnessed the brilliant finale of the Emperor’s Fall era, knew even better the significance and stature of the person standing before him.

“Compared to me? Fellow Daoist, you are the first to ask this venerable one such a question…”

The Lord of the Forbidden Area, with his hands clasped behind his back, inexplicably turned away, imperceptibly sighed, then chuckled bitterly at an angle unseen by Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi.

This notoriously eminent figure, who once seemed as forlorn as a poor and frustrated scholar unable to fulfill his aspirations, eventually spoke with a heavy sense of reflection:

“Looking back at those days, even the giants of Fairy King in the Immortal Domain were deemed unworthy of my regard, such was the vigor with which I was fraught, glory spanning the starry paths, fighting unstopped through unknown years, making foes of the Alien Territory fall head over heels, entering battle seven times in and out, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, believing myself unbeaten in the world.

But it wasn’t until I met The Master of Liu Village, that this venerable one really understood what it means to always have someone better out there, to never assume superiority, and that there’s always a higher mountain yet.”

“You must have guessed this venerable one’s identity by now.

But compared to him, this venerable one truly pales…”

The Lord of the Forbidden Area took a deep breath.
