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

Chapter 643: Chapter 461: Even The Old Bones Will Shine and Heat Up_1

Honestly speaking, Old Man Tu wasn’t particularly interested in the matters of cultivation.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the first one in the village to die of old age.

After all, in the village, there was no shortage of individuals who were older than him. Among ordinary mortals, Old man Tu may have been considered long-lived, having lived for over a hundred years, but in the Liu Village, that was nothing special.

Currently, the oldest in the village was the black-haired man who had just joined.

The man had cultivated for at least hundreds of thousands of years, reaching the peak of the True Immortal Realm. Although his strength had declined somewhat due to his later imprisonment in the World’s Tomb, it was still not something a Supreme could compare to. He still possessed strength capable of crushing a Supreme, being much stronger than the Incomplete Fairy of the Immortal Palace.

Apart from that, there were also those in the village who have lived for a thousand years or even ten thousand years, not to mention ones who lived around a hundred years like Old Man Tu were simply innumerable.

Old Man Lin’s face became serious and dedicated.

The Willow God Lord had given him a direct command, and he was unwilling, he had to take it with 100% of his concentration, certainly achieving some results.

Furthermore, his lord had made it clear that he would inspect his cultivation progress from time to time.

Even though he was old and no longer had a physical body, he was still full of aspirations. Providing assistance to the Willow God Lord was his greatest honour.

This old skeleton also wants to shine…

Old Man Tu thought so in his heart.

Jiang Hui was quite satisfied with Old Man Tu’s attitude. It was fine to be occasional neglectful, as no one could maintain a constant tension. As long as he could toughen up at key moments, that would be enough. Every now and then, he, the master of Liu Village, liked to lose himself in the mountains and waters, so it was normal for his subordinates to slack off sometimes.

He didn’t leave straight away, instead giving Old Man Tu a brief explanation of the principles of ghost cultivation.

Jiang Hui didn’t doubt Old Man Tu’s determination, but he had doubts about his talent and comprehension. Otherwise, Old Man Lin wouldn’t have remained at the Three Layers of Blood Manipulation until his death.

Whether it was “Covering the Sky” or “Perfect”, the ways of the ghost cultivator were considered a totally new path, a completely new cultivation system.

This was different from the Underworld established by Cao Yu Sheng.

Cao Yu’s method was to continuously undergo tribulations in the endless mortal world, learning the joys and sorrows, love, hate, separation, and sorrow. Only after forming the nine reincarnation marks, could he truly divest himself of the mortal world and achieve the realm of the Red Dust Immortal.

His second-life body established the Underworld not for the sake of spreading the teachings, but simply to complement his heritage, using the world cauldron to open a gate to the Immortal Domain.

The idea was actually good, if not for the unimaginable darkness at its origin, it might have succeeded. However, each time Xiao Pang was reborn, his current body would forget the memories of the past, and he would also forget how muddy and deep the water was.

“Remember in your heart everything that I have explained to you, it will greatly benefit your cultivation of this technique.”

At the end, Jiang Hui reminded him again.

Just that, Old Man Tu’s talent was limited, even though he had explained everything clearly, whether Old Man Tu could comprehend everything was another matter.

It was like schooling, where the teacher had clearly explained every examination point, and could also practice every point during normal training, but during the exam, you still might not know how to answer some questions.

But some people, only needed to be taught once to completely understand, some even just needed to look at an example once to completely understand it.

That was a matter of comprehension.

Comprehension was the only thing that could compensate for lack of talent.

But if both comprehension and talent were lacking, that would be a problem.

Unfortunately, Old Man Tu was the latter.

However, looking at the entire Liu Village, there was only this one soul. Even if he wanted to replace it, it was impossible, he couldn’t just materialize one out of thin air. The Technique of Creation was indeed magical, but it had crossed into some forbidden area in this aspect and should not be violated.

In the following period,

Jiang Hui was monitoring the movements inside the Immortal Mansion while secretly guiding Old Man Tu.

Fortunately, all these were created by him, so he could understand everything without actually practicing. It’s just that his current condition wouldn’t allow him to cultivate this technique.

However, his first spirit body could. Lately, it had been behaving quite well. Under the various talent enhancements, its cultivation speed greatly outpaced Shi Hao, already reaching the Void Realm, achieving the title of Sect Hierarch, and was considered a powerful being.

However, its intelligence was far too high. It had independent thinking, judgement, learning, and decision making capabilities. A while back, he was almost persuaded away by a woman.

Only because Jiang Hui had a good temper, and also because it was a quite important piece on his chessboard, he didn’t suppress it directly.

Shaking his head, he threw the miscellaneous thoughts behind, when suddenly, a certain aura from within the Immortal Mansion attracted his attention.

Not only his.

The elders in the three institutes, the Academy, the Holy Court, and the Immortal Court, all had serious expressions, barely breathing as they stared intently at the mysterious and profound Bronze Gate at the back of the mountain.

Past this gate, it led directly to the Fairy City.

However, the conditions for entering were rather stringent.

There were strict restrictions on age and power.

The elders of the institutes could not enter, but fortunately, they had a certain secret treasure. Combined with their collective power, they could have some clarity about what was happening inside.

However, at this moment, all they could see was darkness obscured by the fog, and they couldn’t see the situation clearly for the time being.

“Those few have obtained the qualifications to enter the Umbral Ant Cave mansion, they should be hunting for opportunities inside. If I’m not wrong, that aura just now should be coming from the Heavenly Corner Ant which had been awe-inspiring in the ancient immortal era. It seems someone has unexpectedly formed some sort of bond with it, causing this change. The Undying Sutra from the legends could very well appear in this lifetime!!!”

Around a mossy green rock,

An old elder from the Immortal Institute spoke urgently, unable to hold back.

Right now, he couldn’t see the situation within, and everything could only be speculated, but he could piece together most of it.

The man, dressed in a tattered green robe, was slightly hunched. His aged face was full of wrinkles and bore very high seniority. He was one of the founders of the Heavenly’s God Academy and the initiator of the Immortal Court, a very ancient individual with an intimidating age. Even Meng Tian Zheng had to be courteous to him.

“Elder Tian, are you sure about your speculation? Didn’t the Immortal Sutra disappear long ago in the passage of time? Even the little Umbral Ant didn’t receive the related inheritance, even though it is the descendant of Lord Antler Ant!”

An elder from the Holy Institute spoke unbelievingly, and it was obvious from his words that he was acquainted with the little Umbral Ant.

The others didn’t find that strange since they had seen the little Umbral Ant in the Holy Institute. They knew it was one of the core disciples, a hidden prodigious genius. It was only because of the birth of the Immortal Mansion that it truly stepped into the world from long-hibernation.
