Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 318: Chapter 248: Upper Realm (5) (1st update)_1

At the end of the narrow path, the familiar village gradually unfolded before Little Dot’s eyes.

As it always was – serene and harmonious, mountains as green as jade and waters as clear as emerald. It was like an unpolluted mini paradise where, despite the distance, he could clearly hear the waves of laughter and cheering coming from it.

When he last came here, Shi Hao was completely focused on the terrifying entity in this mysterious place and didn’t take the time to appreciate the surroundings.

Now he can slow down, have a good look at the half-outline of this village.

Looking into the distance.

The youth’s mind drifted slightly. An ancient and primitive breath was surging in front of him out of nowhere. After taking a deep breath, he steadied his mind.

This place is really extraordinary, exuding a sense of sanctity that can’t be described in words. It seems that every time he comes here, he gains a new experience.

“Since you’re here, why not go directly in?”

During the moment that Little Dot was distracted, a voice as loud as a bell rang in his mind again.

The color drained from Shi Hao’s face, Indeed, as he predicted, the existence in Liu Village was far more terrifying and powerful than imagined. Even though it hadn’t shown its face, it seemed to know everything.

He had a hunch that the other party even knew the purpose of his visit this time.

Following the familiar route in his mind, Shi Hao quickly went to the hill behind Liu Village.

The peak shimmered with faint light, the massive Rune rose to the sky, competing with the sun for brilliance. The light that fell was not dazzling, but it brought a touch of warmth.

Along the way, no one stopped Little Dot.

Walking up the stone steps covered in moss, and after a short while, the youth arrived on the top of the mountain range.

In front of his eyes, a grand figure transected between Heaven and Earth, just like the giant before the creation of the world, looking down at everything on the earth.

It was a willow tree, lush and verdant.

A breeze came, the willow leaves fluttered, and the dim golden light was lingering around. Sounds were rolling out from it, transformed into golden lotuses, blooming and withering in an instant, leaving Shi Hao extremely shocked.

He had never seen such an astonishing scene before. It was beyond the young man’s imagination and kept his mind immersed in it for a long time.

When the wind whipped the leaves, the resulting crisp sound seemed to resonate with Heaven and Earth, creating various profound phenomena.

At that moment.

Clad in flowing white robes, a tall and handsome figure walked over, gradually landing in front of Little Dot.

It turned out to be Jiang Hui’s newly condensed external avatar.

His first avatar, which was combined with True Blood and several soul fragments, has become his first True Body. It has independent thoughts and cultivation abilities and is extremely talented. Still, it needs to cultivate all over again. He directly threw it into the upper realm for trials.

Compared with the lower realm, the upper realm has far more resources and opportunities. Besides, it is closer to the turbulent land, making it the perfect place to test both the first generation who has existed since ancient times and the peerless geniuses of this generation.

However, with ordinary avatars, he could condense as many as he wanted.

On the top of the mountain range.

With a few steps, Jiang Hui came to Little Dot.

His eyes sparkled, like the dazzling stars in the night sky, looking at Shi Hao standing before him.

“Senior, the main reason I came here this time is to…”

Being watched by Jiang Hui like this, even Shi Hao couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

“I know your purpose, you want to borrow my Ascend Heaven Ladder to the upper realm.”

Jiang Hui spoke in a relaxed tone.

“Senior is truly wise and farsighted.” Shi Hao nodded in agreement.

As he had suspected, the opponent was far too mysterious and extraordinary. The moment he set foot in Liu Village, they knew of all his intentions and aims. All his thoughts were nowhere hidden.

However, this also worked out just fine for him because he indeed didn’t know how to start explaining.

Formations and treasures that allowed him to travel between the Upper and Lower Realms were extremely rare. Each time they were activated, a significant price had to be paid. For instance, the Celestials’ Divine Mountain, not only did it need various materials for repair but it also required countless invaluable crystal stones to activate.

Every time it was used, even the powerful forces in the Ancient Divine Mountain couldn’t help but feel a blood-curdling loss, hard to afford. They absolutely would not lend it out easily.

“Follow that stone path, go through the foggy land, and there you will find what you seek!” Jiang Hui’s voice sounded.

“Senior, are you agreeing to my request?!”

Little Dot seemed stunned, then quickly expressed his joy.

He never expected that this being in Liu Village would be so accommodating.

He hadn’t even explained, and the other party had already agreed to his request.

Jiang Hui did not continue to speak.

He had already answered the young man’s question, and there was no need to repeat it.

In his view, the youth, who the world would soon honour as the greatest Emperor of all time, should be decisive and straightforward.

This was a characteristic of an emperor.

Being born with a quality that no ordinary man can possess, not necessarily going through the grind of life.

In the cool breeze, everything fell silent in an instant.

Little Dot waited for a while, but didn’t receive any response.

He no longer hesitated, his eyes revealed determination as he turned and briskly walked in the direction Jiang Hui had pointed.

Passing through the pure white fog, an endless stone staircase that snaked like a dragon came into the youth’s view.

The staircase was immeasurable and filled with the marks of time. Some places even bore sharp scrapes like those from swords. An endless flow of sword intent and fierce edges swept out, piercing and matchless, as if it could penetrate everything and pierce even heaven and earth.

The stone staircase was simply too long, seemingly endless, suspended in mid-air, rising from the ground, leading to a place far beyond reach.

“What kind of existence is Liu Village, after all!”

Shi Hao couldn’t help exclaiming in his heart. Such treasure was beyond comprehension, making this village seem even more mysterious to him.

Then, he cut off his thoughts and stepped forward.

He’d barely started when a mysterious and peculiar chant suddenly echoed in Little Dot’s mind. Ethereal and clear, it resonated from afar, sometimes close, sometimes distant, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden.

Moreover, that sound seemed to originate from the soul, able to penetrate it, yet also seemed to come from the vast infinite universe, capable of piercing into flesh and bone marrow.

He looked around quickly, filled with surprise and doubt.

All of a sudden,

the youth saw an Asura Hell filled with blood, as vast as the sea, soaking everything in a bloody hue, endless corpses in sight and rotting flesh flowing on the ground.

Everywhere was a shade of bloody red, filled with the most eternal carnage.

In the far distance, cries of killing echoed to the heavens.

There was an enormous being, its body firmly bound by large black iron chains. It was ancient and peculiar, with horns on its head, eyes as hot as the sun, and holding a huge axe burning with red flames. Each strike resulted in a booming sound, like repeating the word ‘kill’.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

This was the effect intrinsic to the Ascend Heaven Ladder. It offered a chance of receiving a remarkable opportunity.
