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

Chapter 442: Chapter 338: Sin Continent and the Key_2

“Go play on your own!”

Jiang Hui gently rubbed Big Red Bird’s head, reluctantly speaking. He had no idea why, but ever since his transformation into a human, Big Red Bird had become increasingly clingy.

It wouldn’t be a problem if it were a mother bird, but ironically, this Big Red Bird was a male.

After calming the Big Red Bird, Jiang Hui began to reflect on what he himself had gained from this retreat.

First, and most importantly, his understanding of his own Dao had improved. Even though it was only the initial blending stage, it was enough for him to be proud of himself.

The second thing was the monthly egg drawing event that happened yesterday.

Jiang Hui was in luck, he drew a diamond level dragon egg that could yield rare items.

However, the hatching condition of this dragon egg was quite peculiar. It needed to be placed in Sin Island for specifically 49 hours.

Truth be told, Jiang Hui never quite expected such hatching conditions.

“Sin Island, it’s indeed probably time to check it out!”

He sighed lightly, his eyes sparkled brightly. His gaze penetrated through the endless fog, revealing magnificent and spectacular cities, like giant beings sprawled across the vast ground. Some of them even towered to the heights of the sun and the moon.

Those from the Lower Realm Eight Domains, who were tainted with sin blood, were only permitted to stay in Sin Island.

However, in actual fact, the word ‘sin’ represented honor, denoting the highest honor of guarding the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hui moved and the surrounding landscape changed. In the blink of an eye, he faced a city built of oversized grey-brown stones that exuded a primitive and desolate aura, akin to a prehistoric giant sprawling spread-eagle here.

This city, named Mulberry City, was situated atop Sin Island. It was a considerable distance from Liu Village. For even the gods to cover such a long distance, they had to rely on a super-large teleportation array, after several transitions.

However, for Jiang Hui, such a large geographical distance didn’t even cross his mind. He crossed the distance using the method of shrinking the ground into inches, easily bypassing numerous provinces, and reached the place in an instant.

Although he had not stepped into the realm of immortals, Jiang Hui’s strength was no weaker than a true immortal. Besides the difference in realm names, he was no different from a real immortal.

The biggest difference between the Immortal Path Field and the Human Path Domain, other than the strength gap, was lifespan.

In the human realm, even a Supreme could only live a maximum of a million to ten million years, with the aid of longevity substances. Perhaps an ancient beast like the Xuanwu could live up to a hundred million years, surpassing all other sentient beings.

But regardless of the situation, when facing the vast and infinite history of the universe, both lifespans were just like dropping a grain of sand into the sea. Even the youngest life system in the universe is calculated in billions of years, while some of the oldest stars are even measured in trillions of years. They can’t be counted due to their extremely long lifespan.

Except for the immortals.

Their lifespans were infinite and they could live forever, unless they died in battle.

With this in mind, Jiang Hui felt that he quite agreed with the concept of immortality.

“When the time comes, I will build more Spirit Gathering Arrays, and wait for the World Tree to bloom. From then on, my Liu Village will change its name to Immortal Village!” Jiang Hui thought enthusiastically on his journey.

As he drew closer to the giant city, the bustling hawkers became more pleasing to his ears.

Jiang Hui stopped.

Mulberry City, which was part of Fire Country, was famous for the vast fiery mulberry forests within the city.

Faintly, petals were fluttering, shining with pure radiance like a rain of light, filled with as much fiery passion as a blazing flame.

Under the Fire Mulberry Tree, there was no ivory-skinned, kind-hearted girl.

If he was not mistaken about the circumstances, due to Fire Spirit’s father not having any power in the Upper Realm’s Fire Country, Fire Spirit was demoted from Fire Country’s princess to a silkworm girl under the Fire Mulberry Tree. She finally settled down in a place not far from Fire City, and met Shi Hao before the battle of geniuses in the Three Thousand Dao Regions.

And that was probably the last time those two met.

The next time they met, the whole Sin Island had been seized by the Immortal King, An Lan, along with the fiery figure…

Even though Mulberry City covered a large area and was the largest city on Sin Island, parts of it were covered with dust due to time’s brutal erosion.

Jiang Hui concealed his cultivation level, and caused no stir when he appeared.

Within the towering city, shadows of various creatures could be faintly seen, most of them going about their business in a hurry, too busy preparing for the upcoming events.

Before long, the battle of geniuses across the Three Thousand Continents would kick off.

When that time comes, this backward and primitive land will welcome the convergence of many talents, as the slots for entrance into the Immortal Ancient were limited. Many aimed to participate in the battle in weaker continents in order to secure the final qualification.

Jiang Hui already decided, the prodigies of Liu Village would also participate!!!

In a blink of an eye, seventy-seven hours passed quickly.

On this day, accompanied by the rising sun, the dragon egg successfully hatched, turning into a streak of light that poured into Jiang Hui’s body.

Immediately before his eyes appeared a palm-sized key, crusted with rust, seemingly quite old.

However, what surprised Jiang Hui was that there was only a single lonely item inside the dragon egg, nothing else.

He lowered his gaze in surprise, looking at the key.

Then, an introduction about it appeared before his eyes:

Rare Item: Key to the World Ocean (1/3)

Key to the World Ocean: A rather magical key that can open a safe passage to the World Ocean by simply using it on the void.

Friendly Reminder: During the safe passage, you will not be attacked.

Friendly Reminder: When three Keys to the World Ocean are gathered, they will automatically evolve into a Rotten Wooden Box Key

“It’s actually a safe key to the World Ocean!”

Jiang Hui was somewhat surprised. The World Ocean, the carrier of all stars and living beings, could only be entered through the Primitive Gate. He didn’t expect there to be a key, and what shocked him even more was that it could evolve into the Rotten Wooden Box Key after gathering three.

That’s the Rotten Wooden Box…

After a few seconds of contemplation, Jiang Hui chose to use it immediately.

In an instant, massive waves rose, crashing against the shore.

A dam, seemingly ordinary, yet boundless and endless, stretched there, as if it had existed since ancient times, mysterious and eternal,

Vaguely, the sound of fluctuating waves came from behind the dam, making a splashing noise.

The sky was dim, the fog heavy.

This place was very mysterious, everything was blurred.

With a thought, Jiang Hui directly appeared on the dam, the fog scattered, and the true form of the World Ocean was fully revealed in front of him.

The waves rolled in, the droplets of water he encountered were as vast as stars, truly boundless. Even if Jiang Hui pushed his Five Senses’ divine sense to the extreme, he couldn’t detect where the border was.

The World Ocean was turbulent and dark, emitting an extremely strange aura. Jiang Hui wasn’t sure if it was his illusion, but he seemed to have also detected a fishy smell that was hard to describe.

It was like polluted waste water with a lot of dead fish and rotten shrimp.

Furrowing his brows, Jiang Hui continued along the dam, finding a shallow set of footprints.

This was rare. The dam’s solidity was beyond imagination. Even time would struggle to leave any marks on it, yet someone had left footprints.

Jiang Hui naturally knew who the owner of these footprints was.

He was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor from the Emperor Fallen era who had crossed the World Ocean to the source of the dark chaos in order to quell the turmoil. He had made some discoveries, but was killed en route by Emperor Cang, Feather Emperor, and Hong Emperor joining forces. In the end, only a cluster of emperor fire was left burning, which had still not extinguished after several eras.

“Hmm, what is this?”

Jiang Hui bent down, slowly inspecting the footprints, and suddenly made some other discoveries.

Among them, several footprints were different from the others. This difference was hardly noticeable to the naked eye, even his divine sense might not detect it. Jiang Hui deliberately stepped on them to try, and likewise felt no difference. Had it not been for his Five Senses, he might have overlooked it.

It was an eye, crystal clear like an agate, with a miniaturized dam running horizontally inside it, shrunk countless times.

Jiang Hui found it interesting and immediately cast a Surveillance Technique on it.

Item Name: Dam Eye

Dam Eye: When you stare at it, it may also be gazing back at you.

Friendly Reminder: Possessing it grants you control over a tenth of the dam’s authority. It’s quite precious, so handle it with care.

After a moment of examining the basic information gleaned from his inspection, Jiang Hui couldn’t help but feel surprised.
