Chapter 108 Willow Goddess Obtains the Jade Purification Bottle and the Inheritance of Sacrificial R
Chapter 108 Willow Goddess Obtains the Jade Purification Bottle and the Inheritance of Sacrificial R
As the sun sets in the west, the entire stone village is bathed in a pale golden glow. In the distance, monkeys howl and tigers roar, while the large stone houses here appear as sacred and peaceful as ancient temples.
Dozens of people appeared on the horizon, their long shadows stretched across the ground by the setting sun, their silhouettes edged with gold by the evening glow, making them appear incredibly tall and powerful. Almost every one of them was dragging a huge beast, returning laden with their spoils.
The hunt was a great success, with dozens of adult men all making their own catches, including a massive dragon-horned elephant, a one-legged kui beast resembling an ox, and a flying python as thick as a water bucket with wings...
Such a bountiful harvest naturally calls for sacrifices and rituals to honor the spirits.
Clan chief Shi Yunfeng led the group toward the willow tree, carrying dozens of beast corpses to its vicinity. They placed all the bloodstained beasts on the stone platform, clearly indicating that this was a large altar.
Led by the village elder, the men, women, and children of Stone Village prayed together, asking for the protection of the willow tree. This was a solemn sacrificial ceremony, a tradition that was performed every time they returned from a hunt.
The charred tree trunk remained silent, as always, without any reaction, just as it had never taken any offerings.
Is there really no response?
Do not!
At least Su Qing sensed that the faint fluctuation of energy had awakened.
On that charred willow tree struck by lightning, I saw a dilapidated divine kingdom. Within the kingdom lived a woman of unparalleled beauty, whose face could dim the entire world.
Seemingly sensing Su Qing's gaze, Liu Shen, whose will had just been revived, mustered her strength and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoist!"
Fellow?
Those of similar strength and realm are considered fellow Daoists.
Clearly, Liu Shen had already sensed the incredibly profound power emanating from Su Qing.
She's even stronger than when she was at her peak.
"Fellow Daoist should also have some understanding of my origins through conversations with some villagers."
What I enjoy most is helping others. I truly cannot bear to see you, my fellow Daoist, end up like this.
I have a jade bottle here that I can give to you. It should help your injuries heal quickly.
Furthermore, one could even comprehend a ritualistic method from the willow branch on the jade bottle, making becoming an Immortal Emperor a simple matter, and even performing rituals would be no problem.
Immortal Emperor?
Sacrificial ceremony?
Liu Shen isn't stupid.
She could guess from Su Qing's words that the so-called sacrificial path must be a realm above the Immortal Emperor.
What is a Celestial Emperor?
The Immortal Emperor is the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao realm, surpassing True Immortals, Immortal Kings, and Quasi-Immortal Emperors, standing at the end of the Great Dao.
He transcends all time and space, representing destiny itself, and can define the flow of time in ancient and future history with a single thought.
Its very existence would cause the collapse of cause and effect. If its aura is not deliberately concealed, its true form's descent into the world would cause time to collapse and the universe to be annihilated.
The true spirit of the Immortal Emperor is eternal. Even if he is killed, as long as there is one person in the world who remembers his name or touches his remaining material, he can be revived from oblivion.
Since ancient times, apart from the Corpse Immortal Emperor, no one in the world has ever reached this realm.
Even among quasi-Immortal Emperors, there are only a handful.
The Immortal Emperor's incredible power had already left Liu Shen feeling bewildered.
Is there any being in this world above the Immortal Emperor?
How can this be?
In Liu Shen's heart, there was a million unbelievable things.
But she had no reason to doubt it?
why?
She was indeed once a high and mighty Celestial King.
However, he was severely injured at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era and was ambushed by the Immortal Kings Ao Sheng and Tai Shi of the Immortal Realm. His physical body was destroyed, and only his remnant root turned into a seed that fell to the mortal realm and became the sacrificial spirit of Stone Village.
Our current strength is less than one ten-thousandth of what it once was.
If the other party wants her dead, they don't need to go through all these troubles.
Thinking about it, she also took Su Qing's jade bottle.
Just by gently inhaling the faint light emanating from the jade bottle, Liu Shen's eyes revealed disbelief.
"Just absorbing a ray of light gave me the feeling that I have a bright pearl that has been locked away by worldly troubles for a long time. Once the dust is gone, the light will shine and illuminate thousands of mountains and rivers."
What are the effects if I drink it?
shock!
Unbelievable!
Then, in astonishment, he asked, "What is this thing?"
"The three lights are the sun, the moon, and the stars."
It is the Three Lights Divine Water, which was refined by a great being over billions of years by collecting the light of the sun, moon and stars.
It has extremely strong healing abilities for cultivators who are plant-based.
There was once a spiritual root called Ginseng Fruit, which was broken by a monkey. It was healed using this Three Lights Divine Water.
Not bad!
This time, Su Qing's practice turned a fake into a real thing: the Jade Bottle of Guanyin from Journey to the West.
The Three Lights Divine Water in the Jade Purification Bottle can quickly heal injuries.
At this moment, the Willow Goddess had already determined that the items in the Jade Bottle contained the essence of heaven and earth.
At least, it wasn't a treasure that she, as a Celestial King, could access.
If healing is real, is it possible that it would allow her to glimpse the Immortal Emperor, or even the so-called Dao of Sacrifice?
Then, Liu Shen began to carefully examine the jade bottle.
They discovered that the jade bottle contained nothing but a willow twig.
"Could it be that this willow branch is what this so-called traveler from all the heavens and myriad worlds bestowed upon me with this fortune?"
With this in mind, her will began to resonate with the willow branches.
What appeared to be just an ordinary willow branch seemed to be pulled into a primordial world when the will of the Willow God communicated with it.
He transformed into a terrifying hollow willow tree, and became known as the Great Immortal Yangmei.
Yang Mei!
Not bad! Su Qing's specialty is using practice to make the fake real.
He seemed to have merely made the Jade Purification Bottle appear real, but he not only made the Three Lights Divine Water appear real, but also gave the Jade Purification Bottle and the willow branch an identity: the hollow willow branch, one of the legendary Ten Chaos Demon Gods.
As for why there was one branch in the jade bottle...
Su Qing's explanation was also very simple.
When Pangu separated heaven and earth, one of the branches of Yangmei Ancestor was cut off. Because divine objects conceal themselves, it fell into the hands of Guanyin.
Now, the Willow Goddess, who is also a willow tree, received some of the inheritance from Ancestor Yangmei when her thoughts resonated with the branches.
It was clearly a fake practice that turned into a real one, but I actually obtained the Three Lights Divine Water and the willow branch, which was a really good harvest.
It is said that Su Qing unexpectedly appeared in the Chaotic Ancient Era, but did not leave immediately.
It was all to help Little Dot and Willow God achieve a real connection, so that he could receive feedback.
Now, is it time to leave?
No!
Currently, Liu Shen is immersed in recovering and receiving the inheritance of the Chaos Demon God, and it is unclear when she will awaken.
If his departure causes an unexpected turn of events in the otherwise perfect storyline, it would be a case of losing more than you gain.
Su Qing then temporarily abandoned the idea of leaving.
……
Time always slips away unnoticed.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the little one is now two and a half years old, with his own name—Shi Hao.
When he was a little over one year old, he could only follow behind the older children. Now he is two and a half years old and his physique is surprisingly strong. He often runs around with a group of older children.
The effects of the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics are gradually becoming apparent.
Shi Hao's strength can be described as a leap forward, which shocked the elders in Shi Village. He was like a cub of an ancient species.
All the previous rumors and gossip about Su Qing have vanished.
At this moment, a vacant lot in Shicun was surrounded by a large crowd of people, with men, women, and children from the village watching the young people perform martial arts.
A group of muscular children, shirtless and sweating profusely, were competing in a contest. Some of them were even able to swing copper hammers weighing over a hundred pounds, creating a whooshing sound.
They ranged in age from six or seven to twelve or thirteen, and each of them was like a little ferocious beast in the mountains and forests, possessing immense strength and astonishingly robust and sturdy bodies, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Looking at the tiny Shi Hao, who was already able to compete with their elders and was still drinking beast milk, not far away, these teenagers became a little dejected.
A month ago, Little Dot boasted that he would defeat the hunting team leader, Stone Tiger, and become the number one person in Stone Village.
Upon hearing this news, everyone in Stone Village flicked Shi Hao on the forehead.
The result, however, was that the little one swept everything aside.
He already possessed the demeanor of the top expert in Shicun.
wrong!
The little guy still wanted to challenge Su Qing, but was naturally suppressed.
As a result, Su Qing also obtained the achievement of suppressing the tyrannical Eternal Desolate Heaven Emperor in his attribute panel.
Seeing Shi Hao's achievements, some people have also tried to learn the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics.
However, this eighth set of broadcast gymnastics is in line with the Desolate Emperor's practice of turning the fake into the real.
Others who tried to cultivate it did not see good results.
Seeing this, the little one became interested: "Do you know why my strength has improved so quickly after practicing the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics?"
Actually, there is a secret method.
The little boy's words also aroused the curiosity of many children in Shicun.
"What secret method?"
"Of course, drink more animal milk!"
With that, Xiao Shihao walked away feeling refreshed.
Meanwhile, he was also thinking to himself, "Serves you right for laughing at me every day for not being weaned yet!"
Carefree!
Bird-catching and dog-walking!
This was the happiest time of the Desolate Emperor's life, but in the Great Wilderness, the law of the jungle prevailed.
That day, the sun had already set, and the sunset painted the horizon red.
Many of the hunting party members never returned, causing some to harbor ill intentions.
Sure enough, it was already dark when a group of hunters returned. They didn't have much prey, and some of the animals had to be carried back.
A message also spread.
Dozens of miles away, there is a village of wolves. Normally, they are rarely seen, perhaps once every year or two. But now, for some unknown reason, they have entered the hunting grounds of Stone Village and are competing with the Stone Village hunting team for prey.
They even resorted to underhanded tactics, which greatly angered Shi Hao.
He grew up by eating food from many families.
The uncles and aunts in the village were all very kind to him. But then one of the uncles was almost shot and killed, and indignant, young Shi Hao secretly followed the hunting team.
The hunting party traveled several miles through the forest.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed toward the throat of the Stone Forest Tiger, its cold, eerie light seeming to come from the underworld, chilling to the bone.
This is a thick iron arrow, 1.3 meters long, faster than lightning, capable of killing in an instant. With such terrifying power and speed, it could definitely pierce through the scales of a dragon-horned elephant. No wonder it could pierce through the three layers of thick steel armor worn by the people of Stone Village. It is truly terrifying.
It was too sudden. In the deep mountains and dense forests, such a terrible arrow came flying, impossible to defend against. Even though Shi Linhu was brave and quick-witted, and quickly turned to the side, he could not completely avoid the arrow.
Just as the hunting captain was Shi Linhu and was about to be severely injured, a small figure, as nimble as a sparrow, swiftly rushed to the front.
He actually caught the arrow that was hurtling through the air.
At this moment, Shi Hao's little face was flushed red with excitement, his little hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes were filled with anger: "You stole the food we depend on for survival, and you even tried to kill Uncle and the others. Uncle Shi is such a good person, so kind, and he was almost shot to death. You are all great villains!"
