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

Chapter 362: Chapter 280: Those Few are not Easy to Mess with (Second Update)_1

Could that really count as extraordinary talent?!

The Great Demon God had some doubts in his heart but did not express them openly, questioning the words of his great-grandson.

Though those two towering men might appear overly ordinary, the other teenagers were exceptional. Even he could not help but praise them. Almost in their teens, they’ve nearly reached the Noble Realm. This unprecedented talent could compare with the core disciples of the Immortal Dao.

While they were talking, the crowd began to stir. The door to the secret realm had fully opened; they could now enter.

This was the Supreme Secret Realm.

Little Dot and the Great Demon God did not dare to delay and quickly rushed into the crowd.

On the other side.

Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen, among others, followed the crowd inside.

Worth noting, they did not bring their Qiankun Bag with them.

With the Sect Hierarch present, no spatially-based magical item could be brought in to prevent cheating.

As they crossed the immense Stone Gate, a sense of disorientation hit them, followed by an indescribable sensation of darkness.

When Tu Wa Zi and the others opened their eyes, they were in a tranquil place.

But before they could fully observe their surroundings, a chilling voice resounded near their ears.

“I’ve already warned you. If you dare to step a foot into this realm, I won’t hesitate to make an example of you!”

From one side, the young adult from the Immortal Palace, who had just had an encounter with them, slowly approached. His figure was tall and straight, his eyes pitch-black, with a faint radiance enveloping him.

Two women and a man followed him.

The man was not as imposing as the former, but he had a dignified appearance. The women were beautiful, with full and voluptuous figures.

Particularly, the younger girl was stunningly attractive. Her white clothes danced in the breeze, her skin was glossy white, making her seem like a Mysterious Woman from the Nine Heavens. Her beauty was heart-stopping and felt nearly surreal.

“The young adult and Fairy Moon Cicada from the Immortal Palace are here together. Rumours had it that they were engaged. Could this be true!”

Many individuals, who had been transported to this location, couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing those figures approaching.

After expressing their surprise, they glanced at Tu Wa Zi and the others, causing a stir. Before officially entering the secret realm, they all witnessed the confrontation between the two parties.

Frankly, they had no idea where Tu Wa Zi and the others got the audacity to speak so insolently to the heir of the Immortal Palace.

“Those unruly humans appeared out of nowhere, disrespectful right off the bat. Now they’ve done it; they’ve angered the heir of the Immortal Palace. They’re doomed!”

A living being spoke.

The reputation of the Immortal Palace was indeed influential. It holds one of the greatest powers in the Upper World Three Thousand States, existing ever since the Immortal Valley Period. Their inheritance survived to the present, and they never had more than five successors at any given time.

Although their number was extremely limited, each one of them was terrifyingly powerful, with astounding talents and profound backgrounds. They held an unbeaten legend. With just their five members, they dared to confront those immortal daoists who had thousands, or even millions, of disciples under their command. They exerted such pressure that their opponents couldn’t dare to look up.

“Among the younger generation, this young adult from the Immortal Palace is considered an insurmountable mountain. Only the hidden talents from the most ancient lineages could contend with him. Those teenagers who have no sense of the world might not last even for a moment. Given the prowess of this Immortal Palace’s heir, he could crush them all alone if he wanted to.”

Many people broke into laughter.

“What a coincidence, I’ve said it before, too, you’re the first one I’ll carve into!” Tu Wa Zi was the sharpest-tongued of them all, rebutting instantly after having heard the words of the young aristocrat from the Immortal Palace. He had thoughtlessly made that comment without expecting the man to actually take him up on his words.

Afterwards, Gu Chen, Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen, and Lin Hai among others, all showed their discontent. They all turned to gaze at the young aristocrat from the Immortal Palace, each of them assuming an aggressive stance, ready for battle.

If their opponent dared to make a move, they vowed to give this so-called inheritor of the Immortal Palace a taste of the unity amongst the residents of Liu Village.

“Grandson, no matter what else, your friends’ ability to stir up trouble is unparalleled. Your grandpa came to the Upper Realm a bit earlier and has heard of this heir of the Immortal Palace. He’s strong indeed, and you could call him an unbeatable legend!”

The Great Demon God and Shi Hao happened to be passing by the crowd and witnessed this scene, stopping in their tracks.

“Their ability to cause trouble is indeed formidable, but I’ve known them for a long time, and it seems like I’ve never seen them at a disadvantage.”

Little Dot had a piercing gaze and was alertly assessing the situation. He didn’t believe that this young aristocrat from the Immortal Palace could simply bulldoze his way through their ranks.

No one else knew, but he was perhaps the clearest on this, whether it was Tu Wa Zi or Gu Chen, or Lin Hai who has just secured the first place on the Stele, they were all formidable.

If they were to truly present a united front, he was sure that even he would find it a headache. A single misstep could spell disaster. Whoever dared to underestimate them was sure to suffer.

“You really have a sharp tongue even in the face of death!”

The young man from the Immortal Palace sneered coldly, surprised by just how stubbornly defiant Tu Wa Zi and the others were. Without wasting any more time, he made his move decisively.

Halberd in hand, he slashed out with a violent swing, cleaving the air as though it were a wave. The sight was dazzling and brought with it a murderous intent, creating a rumbling sound that cleaved the air in its wake.

“Such is the heir of the Immortal Palace!!!”

The crowd exclaimed. Even from a safe distance, they could feel an unstoppable suppressive force from the glistening wave thrusting towards them.

The powerful energy was unleashed with just a casual swipe, setting the surroundings abuzz and giving the spectators a spine-chilling feeling.

The path of cultivation was a solitary one, that pacified progress with stagnation. It required stepping upon the carcasses of other prodigies to attain the highest echelons. Being born in the same era as such a formidable adversary made them feel desperation and hopelessness.

It was destined to be a sorrowful tale. They could witness the ultimate glory of the undying prodigy but were resigned to being eclipsed by their brilliance.

Tu Wa Zi was the first to charge forward, pulling out a rusty long halberd from his beast skin bag with an exposed cold gleam, shining like full moon.

He obtained this halberd from the Shared Treasure Cliff before. Despite its rusty surface and numerous cracks, it was speculated to be an ancient divine weapon. It still sustained its sharpness and ruggedness, capable of easily splitting mountains.

“Clang!”

In an instant, the two halberds collided, creating a resounding metallic clash. In their wake, a dazzling light flashed, giving off an illusion of colliding stars.

“This youngster…actually…actually managed to block it!”

After the red flash dissipated, the onlookers could see clearly what transpired and were astonished to find that it wasn’t as they had imagined.

This was the heir of the Immortal Palace. Although not the most outstanding amongst his peers, he was still a top prodigy in the Upper Realm. Throughout his journey, he had participated in hundreds of battles and had in most instances steamrolled his opponents. More often than not, his opponents couldn’t withstand even one of his strikes.

“Well, no wonder he’s so insolent, turns out he does have some skills!” The expression of the Young Man from the Immortal Palace remained unchanged, his voice as serene as ancient well, betraying no hint of any emotional shifts.

Fairy Moon Cicada, standing beside the Heir of the Immortal Palace, was similarly surprised.

“Again!”

The young man from the Immortal Palace took a step forward, his long hair flowing down his back and his body shrouded in ancient runes. As he spoke, his movements were as fluid as if he was a dragon or a tiger, each step oozing confidence. He sharply swung his halberd downward with lightning speed as if almost a bolt of lightning was striking down.
