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

Chapter 542: Chapter 390: You Need to Make a Heavenly Oath_1

Upon entering the village, Meng Tian Zheng introduced himself with complete sincerity. His current status made him a prominent guest even amongst the Eternal Families, where he would receive the highest of respect and honor. But he did not particularly care for such external praise and treatment.

However, as soon as he spoke, Meng Tian Zheng’s gaze was drawn to a few magnificent palaces nearby, and he couldn’t help but look at them peculiarly.

The palaces were incredibly grand, standing majestically like towering mountains bathed in precious lights and were up to seven or eight stories high. Glittering runes revolved around the eaves and corners, akin to golden suns hovering about, attracting more attention than any other palace.

But for some reason, as he observed the jade towers resembling miniature mountains, the pavilions, the Heavenly Palace, he increasingly felt a sense of familiarity as if he had seen them somewhere before.

“Ah… aren’t these the very palaces of the Immortal Palace?!”

After a while, the Great Elder of the Heavenly’s God Academy suddenly realized.

He had visited the Immortal Palace a few times before. These various palaces were very distinctive, interspersed with some incredibly precious Immortal Gold, comparable to some treasures. Being remarkably durable, he had paid special attention to them when he first saw them.

Most importantly.

One of the red plaques on the palace still bore the large words “Immortal Palace” inscribed on it. It seemed like it was written in a hurry and hadn’t been taken down yet.

Meng Tian Zheng caught a few glimpses with his peripheral vision, confirming that these buildings were from the Immortal Palace, without a doubt.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

His expression was solemn, his eyes vast as the starry ocean.

It seemed the rumors were all true.

The supreme being of Liu Village indeed attacked the Immortal Palace and successfully destroyed it.

However, thinking about this made Meng Tian Zheng’s expression oddly uncomfortable.

Because if it was as he saw, not only did the supreme being of Liu Village destroy the Immortal Palace but even plundered everything inside, going as far as taking a few of the grandest palaces back.

Frankly, this discovery took him by surprise.

The temperament of this supreme being of Liu Village seemed to be different from what he had imagined…

After all, a typical person wouldn’t do such a thing—uprooting someone’s ancestral house despite being an unrivaled existence, demonstrating absolutely no sense of morality in their actions.

Such a person is undoubtedly difficult to deal with because you can’t tell if they are good or evil. However, it is definite that the supreme being of Liu Village is a ruthless character who doesn’t hesitate to use any means necessary to achieve their goals.

“You are here to find Lord Willow God?”

While Meng Tian Zheng and his companions were looking around, a few figures bearing baskets on their backs slowly approached from the path ahead.

The one leading them was none other than Old man Lin, who had just spoken.

At the moment, Old man Lin’s clothes were made of coarse hemp fabric, with trousers rolled high and stained with mud. He had just returned from the medicinal fields and had come forward to investigate upon hearing Meng Tian Zheng introduce himself.

Behind Old man Lin were the elders of the village, all dressed similarly, appearing as if they had just returned from the fields, their bodies stained with mud.

The medicinal fields were very important, being one of the village’s major assets. A large amount of Divine Medicine brought back by Jiang Hui from the outside world was planted there. These priceless treasures were incredibly precious, especially following the Immortal Palace incident, where they obtained two Immortal Medicines, truly priceless and sought-after.

After learning the value of these divine medicines, Old man Lin immediately declared them part of the village’s restricted area. Other than the people arranged for regular patrol visits, no one else was allowed nearby, or else they would be penalized based on the village rules.

The people assigned to patrol duty were the village elders and him himself.

Given that it was within the village, there was no need to worry about any danger. Therefore, those responsible for patrol didn’t need much strength; they only needed to be responsible.

Old man Lin was still robust in his old age, and the elders were still capable of their meals. In addition, inhaling a few breaths of the divine medicinal plant’s scent planted in the farm would leave them feeling exhilarated. It even had the effect of prolonging life and warding off sickness, so they weren’t worn out by the task.

In all honesty, Meng Tian Zheng and his party noticed these people before they had even spoken.

Although these individuals appeared to be of advanced age and were ordinary to the extreme—with not even a spark of Divine Flame ignited—yet, Meng Tian Zheng didn’t underestimate them. He saw other villagers paying their respects and calling the leading elder “Village Chief”.

Anyone capable of taking up the role of a village chief of such a village certainly wouldn’t be a run-of-the-mill character. It couldn’t be judged solely based on their Cultivation Realm. The elder might be an associate of the supreme entity within this mysterious power, and their actions and words might represent the supreme entity’s interests.

“The one standing here should be the village chief, right… This old one here is the Great Elder of the Heavenly’s God Academy. I have specifically come here today concerning an apprenticeship!” Meng Tian Zheng slightly adjusted his clothes and spoke with a sincere smile.

He wasn’t an inflexible person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed to break the ancient rules and establish new ones, trying to create an unprecedented system of using oneself as a seed.

“So, you’re here to find an apprentice? Whom do you want to take as your apprentice?” Old man Lin looked surprised, somewhat clueless.

He had lived for nearly a hundred years and had never experienced someone coming to the village to find an apprentice. This was something new indeed!
