Spiritual Energy, The Divine Stone Speaks and the Body is Made of Mud (Please Subscribe!) _2
“Just, why has the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly become so dense?”
The Willow God’s gaze flickered, coinciding with the appearance of the narrow path, a wave of unprecedented and surging spiritual power quickly came. Her phoenix-like eyes widened ever more, surprised.
“Willow God, what is happening?”
Little Dot scratched his head in confusion, finding the situation baffling. Just moments ago there was a huge expanse of towering mountains,
He leapt up from the green stone underneath and ran over in a hurry.
“The master of this formation must have actively dispelled it.” The Willow God’s expression was neutral, her gaze reflecting countless kingdoms, their splendor radiating, looking into the far distance, as if to see through everything.
However, as if being impeded by a dense fog, she ultimately could see nothing clearly.
Her interest in the deity of this village increased even more.
Not only because its spirit body was the same as her own – a willow gained through enlightenment – but also because of that formation.
Her origins are mysterious. She was formerly the first sacrificial spirit in the era of the Immortal Ancient, reaching the state of an Immortal King and receiving the worship of countless creatures. Even though her current state has declined, leaving her with only one-tenth of her original power, her perspective remains broad.
If the person behind the scenes hadn’t actively dispelled the formation, she might have been trapped forever.
This was the most shocking thing. Not to mention the Lower Realm, even during the battle with the Alien Tribe, she had never seen a formation that was so bizarre and mysterious. The operational rules seemed to not align with the known ones.
Little Dot was also a little bit dumbstruck, he had initially thought the Willow God had broken the formation.
Although he doesn’t know the Willow God’s background, Shi Hao had occasionally heard Grandpa Shi Yun Feng mention a few things.
Reborn from thousands of thunderbolt tribulations, not belonging to this world, yet today she almost got trapped in a formation, which surprised him. “Let’s go in!”
The Willow God’s gaze returned to calm and she started walking towards the small path ahead, speaking in a slow voice.
She somehow sensed that the deity of this village seemed to have no ill intentions towards them.
The small road lingered along, winding and secluded.
When she passed the giant stone at the entrance of the village, the Willow God paused momentarily.
Shi Hao was puzzled, somewhat clueless. It was just a stone after all, seemingly ordinary in his eyes.
Before the Willow God could speak, a thumb-sized figure suddenly shot out from Little Dot’s arms.
It was an exquisite bone tower, all white, withan extremely mysterious origin. Even the Willow God didn’t dare to underestimate it. At this moment, it spoke up, announcing that this giant stone was extraordinary.
Besides that…
The God-smacking Stone that Little Dot always used to smack people and knock them out also came out. Ever since obtaining this strange stone from the Hundred Broken Mountain trip, Shi Hao has kept it with him day and night.
This stone’s voice was sneaky, acting very much like a thief. As soon as it opened its mouth, it wanted to pick up this huge stone and carry it away directly.
Jiang Hui stood atop the mountains, observing everything.
Of course, that stone wasn’t ordinary. It was an ancient treasure that he had drawn a long time ago, called the Tiyue Ancient Stele.
There were five of these stones in total. If all five could be gathered, an unexpected harvest and a terrifying and powerful treasure could be created.
However, he was quite interested in this pitiful stone.
If he remembered correctly, the God-smacking Stone should be the last of the Ten Evil – possessing the potential of an Immortal King. According to legends, this being could turn a speck of dust into a sea of mountains and was a treasure for the mortal world.
“Willow God, is there anything unusual about this stone?” Little Dot was even more curious, he touched it with his hand and didn’t notice anything unusual, almost no different from the touch of an ordinary stone.
“This giant stone is naturally formed and contains some special energy fluctuations. It seems to be very ancient.”
The Willow God spoke, resolving Shi Hao’s doubt.
After that giant stone, there were several giant golden pillars, all lined up, each as massive as a mountain, with what appeared to be dragon and phoenix dance inscription on them, showing their sharpness.
“These few pillars are also a bit strange!”
The Willow God paused slightly, exclaiming in surprise, while the Ancient Tower and Shi Hao also looked around for a long time.
“So the pillar is also a valuable thing?” Little Dot spouted, suddenly feeling that he still needs to read more books in his daily life. Otherwise, he wouldn’t recognize so many good things and might miss many treasures without knowing.
Eventually, after passing through a few towering stone pillars…
The true face of Liu Village finally came into their view.
From a distance, one could spot the curling cooking smoke, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Despite it being a sunny day, fine rain occasionally fell from the sky. It wasn’t cold, but instead felt warm as it touched them…
“It’s actually Spirit Rain!” The Willow God was even more surprised and a bit overwhelmed.
Having lived a very long and leisurely life, she knew many things and understood the complications of creating Spirit Rain, which required high quality and density of spiritual energy.
“The vitality of these children is so deep?”
Shi Hao spoke up. His usual demeanor was mostly casual, but he had sharp eyes and saw the gifts these playing children were blessed with.
“Who goes there? If not invited, passage is forbidden before Liu Village!”
At that moment…
A few deep voices echoed.
It was the patrol team who discovered the Willow God and Shi Hao and others and rushed over.
The team was led by Lin Rui, the fifth son of Old man Lin who was already married with children and was now the leader of a patrol team.
Seeing these patrol members, The Willow God started breathing faster, her crystal clear eyes filled with disbelief.
Even the hovering Bone Tower consumed a breath of air, strands of divine consciousness spreading out, continuously measuring the people in front of them.
“This is unbelievable, their vitality is so abundant, comparable to that of an Ancient Beast.”
Little Tower spoke up; usually, it rarely did so, but today it was talking more frequently.
“We hold esteemed status and are beyond your conception. Today, we are specifically here to see the deity of your village. Let us pass!”
With the Willow God and Little Tower at his back, Shi Hao was the first to speak. Just by the tone of his voice, ordinary people would likely be intimidated. “Wait here first, I must go report this!” Lin Rui frowned.
No matter whether it was the woman in the long green skirt with her stunning beauty, or the carefree youth, or even the weird floating stone tower, all made him feel that there was something mysterious about them, thus he didn’t dare to look down upon them.
For precaution, he decided to inform Old Man Lin first.
Old Man Lin arrived quickly, and Jiang Hui was informed too. He was told not to obstruct these people and let them enter as they wish.
“Huh… It’s Little Dot! How did you find us?”
Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen who were fishing by the river happened to look up and notice Shi Hao and others rushing in. They promptly went to see them.
“It’s the Willow God who brought me here!”
Shi Hao was also somewhat delighted. The relationship between him and these contemporaries was a mixture of rivalry and friendship, altogether unique.
All the while speaking, Little Dot took a glance at the woman standing nearby dressed in a green long skirt.
Half of the woman’s face was shrouded in heavy fog, making her features unclear, but her extraordinary temperament was undeniable. She had a charm that words couldn’t describe, capturing most of the attention.
“Big sister, are you also called Willow God?” Tu Wa Zi bared his teeth in surprise. But before he could continue, he was drawn to the stone floating in mid-air.
“Didn’t expect you could fly!” Tu Wa Zi grasped Shi Hao, examining him with fish-smelling and muddy hands, his eyes beaming with curiosity.
During their journey in the Hundred-Section Mountain, he had seen Little Dot use this stone to attack. It would hit the opponent’s forehead wherever it was thrown – accurate and deadly. He had wanted to grab it at that time but didn’t dare to.
“Let me go! You can’t imagine myorigins. I do not allow any disrespect!”
Shi Hao cried out. The smell of fish on this bear boy’s hands was too strong, not to mention they were all covered in silt. Just after a while, he felt like his appearance had been ruined…
