Chapter 414: Chapter 319: Germination of the World Tree Seed (First Update)_1
Demon Continent, Blood Red Wasteland.
Two figures were suspended above the horizon like resplendent suns, radiating immense majestic power that intimidated the people below them.
These were none other than the War Emperor and the Old Heavenly Man.
Regardless of whether it was the War Emperor or the Old Heavenly Man, both were reigning figures in their time. The turbulence created by their encounter was immense and overbearing, akin to the dropping of an atomic bomb on a plain, causing the heavens and the earth to roar in shock.
As soon as the old man left, Jiang Hui quickly regained his composure. The aftermath of the wagering battle between the two initially alerted him.
Immediately, Jiang Hui activated all his Five Senses to perceive the scene unfolding in the Blood Red Wasteland and identified the two figures through the conversations of the crowd below.
To be honest, he was quite taken aback.
In the original story, the descriptions of these two figures’ realms weren’t very specific, merely hinting at the extent of their strength and presence that made them the dominating figures of their era.
Jiang Hui was previously unsure about this, but upon experiencing this now, he surmised that both of these individuals were likely in the Escape One Realm, while not yet reaching the level of Supreme Great Emperor, they were considered the apex within their own realm.
As for the War Emperor, his details are unclear, seeming to have spent his entire life in wars, hence the name War Emperor. In the Ancient Times, he waged wars across the Three Thousand Continents, slaughtered countless Giant Level entities, establishing a fearsome reputation and instilled fear in all beings.
He knew more about the Old Heavenly Man, who was the supreme being of his tribe, ruling over the Three Thousand Continents during the Ancient Years, undefeated in the struggles for power in the mortal world, he even led the Celestials to invade the Upper Realm Royal Clan, an immortal figure with a terrifying lifespan, living for tens of thousands of years.
Unexpectedly, these two ancient figures woke up from the endless passage of time and engaged in a fierce battle, demonstrating clangorous hostility and completely showcasing their tremendous power.
However, Jiang Hui could sense that, although they were at odds, they were in fact holding back. Otherwise, given their power, not to mention this small Blood Red Wasteland, even the entire Demon Continent would have collapsed instantaneously, countless beings would have been buried, dyeing the vast sky in blood….
“The Old Heavenly Man makes his move for the Destiny Stone, but what about the War Emperor? Is it possible that he is also after the Destiny Stone? But if I remember correctly, the Destiny Stone has always been exclusive to the Celestials since ancient times and all other tribes can’t use it! ”
Jiang Hui pondered.
However, he could not accurately recall the subsequent plots, so he merely gave up on trying to figure it out.
But just observing how these two menacing figures clashed against each other, a sudden alarm went off in Jiang Hui’s mind.
Such beings, with endlessly long lifespans, are in a state of dispute. It definitely wouldn’t be due to a mere trivial matter.
All of a sudden, Jiang Hui thought of something.
It seemed that in the near future, a looming crisis was about to emerge.
The Age of Doom was about to arrive.
It was an unprecedented catastrophe, a necessary part of the world’s evolution.
Just like the tectonic movement on Earth in his previous life, where all the continents spread out in all directions, they would eventually converge again to form the once huge supercontinent.
However, the crises of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were certainly far more catastrophic and inescapable.
With the arrival of the Age of Doom, the fractured Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would merge into one realm where the spiritual energy would become extremely scarce.
That would be the worst era, because the Age of Doom symbolised that the Age of Daolessness would come. At that time, the heaven and the earth would retaliate, not only would cultivation progress be next to impossible, the lifespan of all races would also drastically decrease.
The most obvious point – those ancient beasts that lived for millions of years would become extinct, even the Supreme who had already reached the apex of the Shen Dao realm would be affected in an unprecedented way. Their lifespan would decrease drastically, for those who were just entering the realm – like Shi Hao, could only live for ten thousand years at most. It was truly the doomsday for the mighty!
Only Immortals could truly live forever, not being constrained by the rules.
But the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were not the Immortal Domain, so where could there be Immortals?
The Incomplete Fairy in the Immortal Palace doesn’t count.
As they could barely hold out within the Bronze Fairy Palace, they couldn’t possibly make a move unless absolutely necessary. If such individuals could be called Immortals, then perhaps in a few decades, right before the Age of Doom arrives, Jiang Hui could lead his disciples from Liu Village straight into the Immortal Domain, beat up the Immortal King and kick the Immortal Emperor!
In comparison to the darkness and chaos in the future, the Age of Doom left Jiang Hui with little time. If his memory served him right, it seemed that it would arrive in less than a hundred years. This was because Shi Hao broke through to this realm when he was in his fifties and shattered the curse which stated no one could become a Supreme within five hundred years. But just after Little Dot ascended to the throne, the Age of Doom arrived!
However, Jiang Hui was not particularly worried about this because he was on a path different from the other beings. His body had its own rules whether the spiritual energy in the world was strong or weak, scarce or not, had little effect on him. He didn’t need it, so therefore he wouldn’t be affected by the Age of Doom.
His disciples, on the other hand, would probably be affected to some extent.
However, the village had the supreme formation method of Spirit Gathering Array which might offset some of the impact.
In fact, when looking at the upper realm, the Spirit Gathering Array is not considered a rare formation. Not to mention the large Taoist dominators, even some small forces possess it.
However, the Spirit Gathering Array in Liu Village was extracted by Jiang Huai from a dragon egg, and it has a pretty noticeable difference from the usual kind.
Firstly, his Spirit Gathering Array does not require any external force to stimulate it.
Secondly, other similar arrays generally absorb spiritual energy from every direction, but Jiang Huai’s Spirit Gathering Array independently generates spiritual energy. Even if the spiritual energy disappears, it will not be affected.
If he can open a few more Spirit Gathering Array formations in the upcoming time, that would be even more perfect, preferably mid-to-high level Spirit Gathering Arrays, being able to reach the desired level in just one step.
Liu Village currently only has a primary Spirit Gathering Array and it has this kind of effect. If there comes an even higher-level one, it would likely turn into a fairy land, on par with the Immortal Domain. If his power becomes even stronger, he could create a world on his own.
Having Huang Liang’s Dream and The Zen Creation Technique by his side, he feels that his future definitely holds such potential.
Soon, Jiang Huai withdrew his gaze from the Blood Red Wasteland and did not pay much attention to everything happening on the battlefield.
He naturally found the figures of Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen.
The few children were not injured and were still lively and jumpy.
Those two supreme existences were careful with their shots and did not target all the creatures below. They chose to fight among the stars in the sky. Plus, Little Dot was with them; they would not encounter any danger.
Regaining his senses,
Jiang Huai spread his palms, and a mysterious elliptical object that looked like green jade emerged in his palm.
It was the World Tree Seed,
After receiving this seed, Jiang Huai had not yet had time to plant it.
Left or right, he specifically chose a place that he was relatively satisfied with.
Located at the back mountain, around the Immortal’s Tomb.
This Immortal’s Tomb seemed to possess a certain ability to assimilate the environment. Under its influence, many nearby plots had become loamy in soil quality and had more or fewer visible changes. But at the same time, the fertility of the soil improved.
After carefully placing the World Tree Seed into the soil,
For the subsequent period, he watered and weeded every day. He didn’t assign these tasks to others.
One day,
Deep into the night, a round moon was hanging high in the sky, casting down soft moonlight that painted the whole Liu Village as if it had been given a shiny silver coat.
In his sleep, Jiang Huai was playing chess with Lord Zhou.
Suddenly,
A violent disturbance occurred…
Waking Jiang Huai up.
Before he could react, an unprecedented surge of spiritual energy fluctuations arrived, instantly filling the entire area of Liu Village.
Under this intense energy fluctuation, all living beings stretched their bodies in their sleep and were each enveloped with a faint aura…
The spiritual energy became so thick; it was like a vast ocean sweeping across the area.
“Boom…”
In an instant, it started to rain over Liu Village. The rain was not cold. Instead, it would make one feel comfort throughout the body when it touched the skin.
The look on Jiang Huai’s face was instantly replaced with one of ecstatic joy.
Within his sensing range, the World Tree Seed that had not been planted for long had shot a tender sprout, swaying gently in the wind.
Jiang Huai quickly called upon his External Avatar, who immediately arrived in front of the sprout, which was as big as a normal ancient tree, in an instant.
