Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity-Chapter 699 - 488: Out of the Pass_2
Chapter 699: Chapter 488: Out of the Pass_2
Gazing at Meng Tian Zheng and the others as their figures disappeared from view, the Old Heavenly Man suddenly spoke loudly towards the void in front of him.
As his voice fell, a figure swiftly flashed within the shadows.
…
…
Law Enforcement Hall, one of the ten great halls within the Imperial City.
From a distance, the palace was grand and majestic, glittering with gold and jade, winding like a mighty dragon, with towering pavilions that seemed to connect with the clouds. It appeared as though it could split open heaven and earth at any moment, continually displaying the dignity of the Imperial City and infusing the atmosphere with solemnity.
Around the Law Enforcement Hall, huge ancient stars were scattered. But these weren’t actual manifested stars, rather they were created from countless fallen ancient star cores forged and refined by the great abilities of ancient sages.
Though smaller in size than the actual ancient stars, their weight was far more exaggerated. If they fell, they could easily pierce through the earth, overturning tens of thousands of mountains, shattering the nothingness itself. They served as the foundation of the Law Enforcement Hall, not to be harnessed lightly.
Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, huge stars surrounded it similarly, suspended at the top of the hall, but these were not physical stars. Instead, they were merely shadows projected by the stars outside the hall.

At the top of the hall.
The Old Heavenly Man stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unrevealing, his thoughts unknown.
At that moment, a figure appeared, clad in a black robe and holding a Memory Rune, and quickly approached the Old Heavenly Man.
“Elder Ancestor, everything you asked for is in here!”
The figure in black robe started to say something and then stopped, holding the Memory Rune to be given to the Old Heavenly Man. If you look closely, you could easily notice the terror in the figure’s eyes; it was so intense it almost materialized like tumultuous waves.
Days ago, he was ordered by the Old Heavenly Man to gather information. However, the content he found almost scared him witless.
“The Ruined Immortal Palace was destroyed on the Ten Lands, the Incomplete Fairy and the Old Supreme of the palace died on the spot, in the Great Red Sky severals fists killed the Immortal of Alien that was likely a True Immortal, unbeatable under the Immortal King… when… when did such a terrifying existence appear in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!”
Placing the Memory Rune on his forehead, the information stored within it would instantly flood the Old Heavenly Man’s mind.
However, as the memories returned, the Old Heavenly Man’s expression drastically changed. He subsequently ended up sitting on the ground, his initially slightly dark complexion turning as pale as paper in an instant.
The array of events presented before his eyes caused a surge of tumultuous waves in his heart, filled with fear.
The Old Heavenly Man did not doubt the authenticity of this information at all, for the scout who went to gather the news was his direct descendant. Although their talents didn’t match up to Yun Xi and Saint Jun of the Three Stones who got the Destiny Stone, they still excelled in carrying out tasks reliably and hence, were highly regarded by the Old Heavenly Man, and would never lie to him.
“When did such a figure appear in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands? Could it be an elder from the past? But why did they appear now when the Alien is watching us so intently…”
The Old Heavenly Man’s brows were almost furrowed into the shape of a river.
The most critical point was that, from the scenes depicted by the Memory Rune, it wasn’t hard to tell that even if the Master of Liu Village was an elder figure, he was a cantankerous one at that and was decisive in killing. Of all the Sect Hierarchs that died by his hand, which one had a profound grudge against Liu Village? They were all small affairs, insignificant as chickens and garlic. But in the end, they were still brutally killed by the Master of the Liu Village.
The reason he wasn’t afraid of Meng Tian Zheng was because the latter was universally acknowledged as a gentleman and a nice person who, as long as his bottom line wasn’t crossed, would usually turn a blind eye and not really make a move on him. But the Master of Liu Village wouldn’t act the same way.
“Where are those young talents from Liu Village? Old Xu needs to see them personally!”
At the fall of his thoughts, the Old Heavenly Man said suddenly.
“In response to the Elder Ancestor, that group is heading to the frontier to directly confront the Alien life forms stationed there.” The figure in the black robe quickly replied.
This is a tradition in the Frontier Wilderness, where people are dispatched at regular intervals to cause casualties to the foreign domain before it officially invades in large scale, thus alleviating the pressure on the frontlines with this type of guerrilla warfare.
“Let’s just wait for them to return then!”
The Old Heavenly Man sighed, growing increasingly apprehensive, but also somewhat relieved that Meng Tian Zheng had appeared at that time. Although he didn’t like Meng’s tone of voice, it was undoubtedly a great favor to him.
At this very moment.
In Imperial City, at a certain open area.
Upon looking from a distance, this spot was filled with figures.
In addition to a hundred talented youths from the Three Great Academies who had traveled a long way, there were other talents from the major Eternal Families who utilized their clan’s resources to enter Emperor Gate. Apart from honing their own abilities there, they also sought to find great fortunes afar that was passed down from olden times.
They were all brimming with vitality, adorned in dazzling attire. Some even wore treasured armors able to withstand full-force attacks from beings at both the Escaping One Realm and the Supreme Realm. These armors, of immeasurable value, shimmered coldly, signifying the profound strength of these Eternal Families. They contrasted sharply with He Shi Hao, Cao Yu Sheng, Lin Hai, and Tu Wa Zi.
In comparison to those from the Eternal Families, He Shi Hao and the others looked just as if they were rag pickers.
Not to say their attires were ragged, they were just too ordinary – just typical coarse linen clothing or, at worst, beast robes made from stitched beast skins.
For example, Gu Chen, he was donned in a rainbow-colored tiger skin. He didn’t bother to groom his hair, and let it be scattered behind his back, feeling that only such wild apparel suited him. However, with Gu Chen’s distinguished demeanor, such a disarranged outfit not only didn’t look messy but made him seem divine and demonic.
Apart from the younger generation of talents, most of the individuals were soldiers who had long been stationed at the Frontier Wilderness. They were fully armored and sharp, hailing from various races. They were the elites among the elites, having served at the frontiers for countless years, their hands stained with the blood of lives from those lands. Their collective aura was terrifying, especially when they gathered together – the feeling was akin to a hurricane, utterly dreadful.
“It’s time, depart!”
At that moment, a thundering voice echoed from the void, covering the entire sky like a thunderclap.
It was the voice of the Grand Knight, responsible for the command and arrangement of Frontier Wilderness’s troops. He was well-acquainted with military strategies, possessed powerful strength, and had reached the Supreme Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago. His weapon was a large blade tempered in star rivers. With every slash, he could tear apart the sky within thousands of miles.
As the voice from the sky faded, the armies on the ground began to mobilize. People moved and horses neighed, their armor and weapons collided, resonating clear metallic sounds.
The armies were massive, like a coiling dragon. The air was permeated with the bone-chilling aura of discipline and killing intent.
“Times create heroes, and wars forge the steel of soldiers. If these soldiers were sent to the Ten Lands, they could probably flatten any continent in a very short time, even the Great Sects wouldn’t be able to resist!”
Tu Wa Zi looked at the towering soldiers clad in armor, and couldn’t help but emotionally saying, such battle-hardened soldiers, who had frequent death battles with beings far stronger than themselves, would be an undeniable strong force wherever they go.
“If there were no invasions by the foreign domain, they probably wouldn’t have to end up like this. Perhaps they would already have families, and were enjoying the tranquility and beauty of life somewhere peaceful with blooming spring flowers!” Lin Hai sighed.
No one ever wanted to become a machine of war, but often, beings were helpless. They didn’t have much choice or leeway.
If not for Lord Willow God, they too might have already been drafted to the Frontier Wilderness, becoming soldiers under the armor, leading a life of uncertainty about tomorrow.
But how much longer can this peace last? That, he did not know.
“This journey to the Frontier Wilderness is mainly to temper everyone’s will, hone oneself, and achieve greater progress through battles. However, you must always remember, staying alive is the foundation of everything. Without this prerequisite, everything else is just an empty talk. If you encounter any foreign domain life forms that are far too powerful, try to team up. When you return, this old one hopes everyone can come back alive and kicking!” Meng Tian Zheng stepped out from one side, suspended in mid-air, and resounded these words to the crowd.
He wasn’t worried about the Demon Kings of Liu Village, nor the Banished Immortals, the Ten Crown King, and the offspring of other Eternal Families. But apart from these individuals, many others were of ordinary origins, without much assurance to save their lives.
“Great Elder, rest assured, we will definitely cherish our lives and we will absolutely not risk our lives recklessly!” He Shi Hao and the others laughed and replied.
