Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity-Chapter 701 - 489: The Seven Ancient Kings_2
Chapter 701: Chapter 489: The Seven Ancient Kings_2
“Although it’s evil, it’s not a bad thing either!” Jiang Hui’s eyes shimmered with excitement, desiring to acquire it.
That was just his nature, wanting to snatch up anything valuable he laid his eyes on.
However, the Frontier Wilderness was different from the Grand Red Sky. It was not only obstructed by endless, towering gray walls, but also guarded by an imperial city at its core. Not even Jiang Hui had the ability to get there in an instant.
Despite his strength being sufficient to force his way in, such an act would inevitably cause a tumultuous disturbance, which wasn’t the result Jiang Hui desired.
Besides, he could call upon his followers to appear here, which wouldn’t provoke the awakening of the imperial city. However, this would require Tu Wa Zi and others to be nearby the Hell Flower, preferably with nobody else around, otherwise it would still cause a disturbance.

As soon as that thought passed, Jiang Hui’s gaze shifted to other areas.
The desert was as red as blood, the moon over Yan Mountain hung like a hook.
The further one looked into the distance, the more intensely one could feel the desolation and solemnity beyond the gate. Gusts of wind stirred up violent sandstorms, which swept across the landscape like raging waves. They darkened the sky and covered the sun, enveloping everything in a somber gloom.
In Jiang Hui’s eyes, this land seemed like a giant on the verge of twilight, bearing too many scars of war, and on the precipice of collapse.
Just then, a dark light from the sky caught Jiang Hui’s attention. It was a massive circular ring in the middle of which a terrifying vortex was swirling with countless stars embedded within. Upon closer inspection, one could even see giant pieces of skeletal fragments the size of mountains being carried around by the vortex.
The ring spanned across the sky above the gate, immense as a star sea, endless and reaching into the heavens. It was like an unfathomable abyss or a giant beast’s gaping maw, seemingly poised to devour any creature that dared to step foot into its territory.
“Is this the Heavenly Abyss?!”
Jiang Hui’s eyes flickered slightly, his voice filled with astonishment.
Truth be told, this was his first time seeing it.
Despite spending much time in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, his previous strength was insufficient to extend the Five Senses to this distance. After attaining the True Immortal Position and the subsequent ascension of his Five Senses, Jiang Hui barely managed to extend his perception to every corner of the Nine Heavens.
It was surprising that this was the last line of defense left behind by the Immortal Domain at a great cost. Despite the vast distance, Jiang Hui could feel the terrifying energy continuously pulsating from within. Even he couldn’t help but feel uneasy. It was truly exaggerated and indescribable.
The Heavenly Abyss, though reminiscent of an abyss, was not an abyss. It was more like a starry sea condensed into this area. At the end of the Immortal Ancient period, the Fairy King Giants of the Immortal Domain set up this checkpoint to prevent their domain from being contaminated by black blood.
It was relatively friendly to the life forms of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, not causing any anomalies. However, any immortal who enters it would be drained, either sunk into it permanently or crushed by its overpowering forces.
If Jiang Hui remembered correctly, there was an ancient city within the Heavenly Abyss, vast and boundless called the Primitive Imperial City. However, it gradually disappeared from the public eye after the Seven Kings incident, and hints of that great city could only be seen now and then.
But this great city had not vanished. It alone stands unbowed in the unknown wilderness, preventing powerful beings from the foreign domain from entering this area. The city still held the will of the king, standing tall for eternity, never to fall.
Back then, they sealed the Emperor Gate, cut off all retreats, and defended the Primitive Imperial City to the death. They protected the Frontier Wilderness and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
However, the traitor among the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands falsely accused the Stone King, one of the Seven Kings, for his own interests, leading to the death of the Stone King’s descendants.
Near the Heavenly Abyss, a group of massive creatures creeped about, numerous in number. These life forms from the Alien Territory were attacking the Heavenly Abyss to pave the way for the immortals from their world. However, they were only common vanguard soldiers and did not possess the strength of immortality, hence they were not attacked by the Heavenly Abyss.
“Is that the Heavenly Abyss?”
Within Liu Village, as Jiang Hui pondered, Shi Hao and the others had already reached the vicinity of the Heavenly Abyss.
Some were drawn to the ring in the sky and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“The legend says that there’s an ancient city within the Heavenly Abyss, but why can’t I see it?” Shi Hao stared intently at the vast Heavenly Abyss in the sky. It seemed like he was searching for something, but after a long while, he had not found what he was looking for.
“As for that ancient city you’re talking about, it’s been long lost, already slumbering beneath endless years. However, about a year ago, someone seemed to have once glimpsed a shadow of that ancient city, but the truth of it is unknown. As for the person that discovered the city, they were already buried under the axe of a Foreign Domain Life Form during a previous outing, so it’s even harder to ascertain the truth!” An elder knight sighed, filled with melancholy and lament.
“Damn Foreign Domain Life Forms, trying to destroy the Heavenly Abyss!” Suddenly, a resounding voice of a great knight echoed from the sky, immediately followed by him shooting off like a flash of lightning into the distance.
“Look, it’s Foreign Domain Life Forms!”
Everyone finally saw the group of Foreign Domain Life Forms attacking the Heavenly Abyss. Immediately, faces flushed and ears turned red as if they had met mortal enemies. All simultaneously roared and charged into battle.
The Foreign Domain Life Forms near the Heavenly Abyss also saw the people of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and likewise rushed over, brandishing their weapons.
In an instant, the cries of battle shook the sky, echoing across the entire firmament.
Seizing this moment, Jiang Hui immediately used his technique to appear from the void and snatched the Hell Flower.
He moved extremely quickly; everything happened within a flash. He did not cause any disturbance and cloaked his aura, only the people of Liu Village who were closest to him noticed.
“Senior, wait a moment, there’s something I don’t understand, I beg you to enlighten me!”
Just then.
Shi Hao suddenly came running over, looking earnestly up at Jiang Hui, the Master of Liu Village, who was suspended in mid-air.
“Speak!”
Jiang Hui responded, somewhat astonished.
As expected of the Son of Destiny, even near the Heavenly Abyss he could still discover me?
At the same time, he was a bit surprised, when did the future Emperor Huang Tian, who made decisions for all ages, start asking so many questions?
But he did not refuse.
While speaking, a vast Star Sea Space appeared in Jiang Hui’s palm, filled with stars and nebulae, boundless. He threw the Hell Flower, root and all, into it.
This flower is very sinister, if a True Immortal or an Immortal is slightly careless, they will be bewitched by its intoxicating fragrance, collapse mentally, and fall into endless madness and killing frenzy until death.
Besides, the Hell Flower consumes the nutrients of other spirit plants while growing. Apart from its own kind, even Divine Medicines will wither and decay. So it naturally can’t be taken back to plant in the backyard, nor planted elsewhere, otherwise that place will become a forbidden area. Jiang Hui certainly doesn’t want his surroundings to become a land where not even birds dare to poop.
After some contemplation, Jiang Hui decided to use the Technique of Creation to open up a separate heaven and earth to breed this sinister flower. This way, he can cultivate the Hell Flower indefinitely without worrying about any impact.
“Senior, I want to ask about the Seven Kings, especially … the Stone King!”
Shi Hao moistened his lips, hurriedly speaking.
His eyes were keen, fixed tightly on Jiang Hui, hoping to obtain some useful news from this influential figure.
“Interesting, why didn’t you ask last time?” Jiang Hui raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
Before entering the Frontier Wilderness, Shi Hao had specifically sought him out once. He asked many questions at that time, but he never once inquired about this matter.
“I thought I could find the answers in the Frontier Wilderness Emperor Gate, but when I arrived, I discovered that there was no result I wanted. Everything had been buried by the sand of time, there was no useful information at all!”
Shi Hao said, a forlorn look on his face.
The reason he entered the Frontier Wilderness was not only to kill enemies and temper himself in battle, but more importantly, he wanted to uncover the truth about the past.
