The end of this quasi-emperor peak is coming

Chapter 180 Willow Tree
The willow branches seemed to be swaying, as if consciousness had returned.

Luo Yan sat cross-legged seriously, carefully sensing the faint fluctuations emitted by the willow branches.

Willow God is a giant Immortal King, and his strength is much stronger than him.

What is a giant immortal king? Only the invincible existence among the immortal kings can be called a giant immortal king!
"God Liu?" Luo Yan called softly.

The willow trees struck by lightning were silent, apparently without any response.

"It seems that Willow God has not awakened yet. I must have sensed it wrongly before." Luo Yan muttered to himself, feeling a little regretful. He is now in the late stage of True Immortal. If he can get guidance from Willow God, his path to becoming an Immortal King in the future will surely be smooth.

Besides, he cannot return to the present world now and is now stranded in the era of Emperor Huang Tian.

If he wanted to go back, he would probably have to rely on that figure in the long river of time. Perhaps during the long time he stayed in this era, he would have a chance to get a glimpse of the realm of the Immortal King.

In the era of Emperor Huang Tian, ​​the laws were perfect, the fairyland was intact, and becoming the Immortal King was just around the corner!
"Even though I'm supplying a small amount every day, if I don't wake up, I'll be drained dry by the Willow God sooner or later!" Luo Yan felt a little annoyed. The spiritual energy in the lower realm was seriously depleted, and what he consumed was far less than what he replenished. In addition, he was constantly supplying immortal energy to the Willow God, and the immortal energy in his body was also decreasing day by day.

Luo Yan had actually guessed the reason why Willow God had not awakened. It had nothing to do with the immortal energy, but rather that Willow God's own consciousness was still sinking. Perhaps he would have to wait until the right time to wake up. The immortal energy he was sending to him now could only improve the physical condition of Willow God at most.

Furthermore, if the immortal energy could really change Willow God's condition, it would definitely not be something that his small true immortal realm could fill!
Although the difference between the true fairyland and the fairy king giant is only a realm difference, in fact, the difference is as big as heaven and earth!
Even if countless True Immortals have gone through countless years and endured countless hardships, they are still unable to glimpse a single bit of the mystery of the Immortal King realm.

Anyone who can become a True Immortal is an extremely talented person, and one of the strongest people in an era. However, the mysteries of the Immortal King realm are far beyond the reach of time.

"Maybe I should create a real secret method!" It was only at this moment that Luo Yan began to examine himself.
The previous methods are no longer suitable for him now. When he was in the Zhutian Universe, he did not have so many worries, because he knew that he was almost invincible in that universe, so he did not worry so much. But this is no longer the case in the era of Emperor Huangtian.

Looking around, there are so many people who are better than him.

The Immortal King of the Fairyland is indeed powerful, but he is just like a drop of water in the sea of ​​​​boundary.

The original book's evaluation of the boundary sea is this: a wave is a universe, and a drop of sea water is a world.

This sentence is a good description. The universe is indeed a wave. From the entire subjective perspective of the boundary sea, the huge boundary sea composed of countless universes is as amazing as the ocean. A powerful world like the Fairyland can only be regarded as a larger wave in the boundary sea. There are universes that are stronger than it, and similar to it!
Beyond the sea boundary is the strange clan, the real big boss!

The strange Immortal Emperor is present in all clans. He is a person who truly overlooks the past, present and future, despises all the heavens and worlds, and is invincible in the sea of ​​​​boundaries.

Luo Yan collected his thoughts and began to seriously consider his own methods.

"All my magic comes from the Time Mirror, which originates from the ancient mysterious characters and contains the mystery of time. Although this magic is powerful, it has certain hidden dangers. If there is a problem with the Time Mirror, I will also be implicated." Luo Yan thought carefully. He was not worried that the Time Mirror would deceive him. If it was true as it said, he and the Time Mirror almost shared the same life, and it was impossible for it to harm him.

What Luo Yan was worried about was that if something went wrong with the Time Mirror itself, it wouldn't know what was going on.

He remembered the day when he stepped into the realm of True Immortal. That person in the long river of time, even if he was a projection of the past, his true strength was absolutely unfathomable. He had to be at least an Immortal King, or perhaps a giant Immortal King!

"If that's the case, perhaps I can refer to the laws of the long river of time to improve myself." Luo Yan suddenly had a reference in his mind. He gathered all his own divine laws and visualized the long river of time at the same time.

"Why are the time methods of these two so similar!?"

Luo Yan was shocked.

Unwilling to give up, he continued to delve deeper and soon discovered that the Avenue of Time in the Time Mirror was almost exactly the same as the River of Time.

This is the real river of time, there are no so-called branches.

A small world is a branch, and in the era of Emperor Huang Tian, ​​the world had not yet been broken up, so the long river would naturally not be divided into countless small rivers like in later generations. This is the real river of the heavens and myriad worlds, containing countless things!
What Luo Yan visualized was naturally the laws in this long river of time, but the more he studied, the more shocked he was, because all the time laws reflected in the river were exactly the same as the time laws in the Time Mirror, and they were almost from the same source!
"Could it be that... the origin of the Time Mirror is in the River of Time?"

A long time ago, the Time Mirror once told its origin. It was a supreme immortal weapon that was born naturally between heaven and earth. It had no rank when it was born, and it was entirely through its subsequent step-by-step promotions.

Luo Yan was almost certain of the origin of that thing. It was an immortal weapon born in the long river of time. Even if it had fallen to a quasi-imperial weapon, it could still take people through the long river of time.

The mystery of time contained in the long river of time is itself the most advanced time method, and the Time Mirror was born from it, so when Luo Yan was silently comprehending it, he did not encounter any backlash.

"My sense of closeness to the long river of time is getting stronger and stronger. Could it be that it regards me as a mirror of time born from the long river?" This sense of closeness and familiarity makes Luo Yan very concerned.

It seemed as if the river was one with him!
Luo Yan was immersed in contemplation, his body was penetrated by the spirit, and he re-created all his secret techniques, making them even more powerful than before.

"Since I gained this divine law through the long river of time, it is called the Sutra of Time and Yin."

It contains five major secret techniques, namely cutting time, destroying rebirth, and reversing life and death... As for the latter two, Luo Yan only has a vague sense of them at the moment and cannot create them yet.

As for the first three, they have reached the limit of what he can comprehend, but there are still some flaws and it is still far from perfect.

Even though it took Luo Yan such a long time to comprehend, in fact, it was only a blink of an eye in the outside world.

Luo Yan calmed himself down and took a long breath. He was not in a hurry to perfect it immediately. The scriptures at the True Immortal level needed to be gradually perfected and carefully crafted over time. This was his path.

His journey had been too smooth without any obstacles, but a complete supreme scripture requires time for sedimentation and understanding.

A colorful bird landed on the willow tree. The little one came running over from a distance, looked up at the tall willow tree, and stretched out his two tender little hands with excitement, as if he wanted to catch the colorful bird on the willow tree.

The five-colored bird was combing its feathers on the willow tree, staring at Luo Yan under the tree with caution. In the entire Shi Village, the person it was least close to was Luo Yan. All living things in the world generally have a natural rejection and vigilance towards creatures that can threaten them.

Although it is one of the Ten Evils, it has no memories and is just a broken soul fragment. Naturally, it is extremely wary of Luo Yan, a powerful human who can threaten it!
The red sun sets in the west, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the stone village is dyed with a faint golden glow. Various ferocious beasts roar, and the sounds of tigers howling and monkeys crying never stop.

Luo Yan raised his head and looked towards the not-so-distant horizon, his eyes focused there, and whispered softly, "I'm back!" The little guy tilted his head and looked around.

Ten breaths later, he saw dozens of people from the village appear on the horizon. Their shadows were stretched out by the setting sun, and their bodies were framed with golden lines by the sunset. They looked extremely tall and majestic. Almost everyone of them was dragging a ferocious beast, with excited smiles on their faces, returning with a full load!

"Yeah!"

The little guy tilted his head, seemingly not understanding how Uncle Luo saw it.

"He's back!" A group of women who had been standing at the entrance of the village waiting for a long time cheered. The uneasiness and fear in their hearts disappeared all of a sudden and they shouted loudly.

"Dad and the others are back safely!" Some children cheered and jumped for joy at the woman's feet. The little ones also ran over and looked at the full load of prey.

"Oh my god, there are so many prey. This is such a rare harvest! There are only a few times a year when we can catch so many prey!"

The hunt was very successful. Almost all the adult men in the village came back carrying large prey, including a huge dragon-horned elephant, a one-legged Kui beast as strong as an ox, and a flying python with wings as thick as a bucket.

The old men in the village were all shocked. These creatures were difficult to deal with by relying on time. They could even be called ferocious beasts and were basically impossible to hunt. But now so many of them were captured. It was too unexpected.

Take the dragon-horned elephant alone. Not only is it huge, but its body is as hard as iron. It is difficult for ordinary iron spears to pierce it. Its pair of dragon horns are as sharp as drills, which can easily smash boulders and ancient trees. It is almost a domineering existence in the mountains.

These would be fine, the key point is that there are some more powerful creatures among the prey, such as the two-headed rhinoceros, the firefly lion, etc. They are absolutely worthy of their names, and you can only avoid them when you see them.

Luo Yan was also amazed. Even though Shi Village was located in the lower realm, some ferocious beasts that had not even touched the threshold of the Blood Moving Realm had these strange characteristics and bloodlines.

If it were placed in the world of Covering the Sky, it must be an extraordinary talent and would be noticed by powerful people from all sides!
"Did you hunt these ferocious beasts?" the old man in the village asked in surprise. Shi Linhu and his men did not have such strength. He was very clear about the strength of the hunting team in the village and knew that they could definitely not hunt these powerful mountain beasts.

Shi Linhu smiled and explained, "We were really lucky this time. A super giant beast passed through the mountains these days, causing earthquakes and killing and injuring many beasts. We followed it all the way and killed many seriously injured beasts, and picked up a lot of loopholes!"

"So that's how it is! Didn't the super monster notice you?"

“We were quite far away. We followed the giant beast’s footprints and didn’t go deep into the area. We just got enough food from the periphery and then retreated.

The giant beast's footprint is in the shape of a human foot, but it is a hundred meters wide!" Shi Linhu described it.

The villagers were shocked: "So big?"

Even the old people in the village gasped, thinking that the creature might be a relic from ancient times, an irresistible existence. Fortunately, it did not pass through their Shi Village, otherwise a large number of people in the tribe would have died. Encountering such a huge creature, Shi Village was simply unable to cope with it with its conditions.

Anyway, it was a huge harvest, no one was injured, and everyone was very happy.

Tribe leader Shi Yunfeng led everyone toward the willow tree, carrying dozens of animal carcasses closer, and placed all the bloodstained beasts on a large altar built on a stone platform.

According to some customs of the deserted villages, after hunting down fat prey, they must be offered to the sacrificial spirits, allowing the sacrificial spirits to enjoy it first, so as to protect every deserted village.

Shi Village was no exception. Under the leadership of the old patriarch, men, women, young and old in Shi Village prayed together, asking the willow tree for protection. This was a solemn sacrificial process, and Luo Yan also participated in it.

The charred tree body was as silent as it had been in the past, without any reaction. Even though no sacrifices had ever been taken from it, many people in the village knew that the willow tree was spiritual!

Finally, the sacrifice was over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The seriousness on their faces was replaced by joy, and they moved the bodies of the beasts to bleed and cut them.

"For many years, the sacrificial spirit has not touched the offerings once. Is it necessary to perform sacrifices every time?" A young man muttered in a low voice.

"What are you talking about, little brat? Have you forgotten what Uncle Luo taught you? It's better to believe it than not to believe it! Besides, the sacrificial spirits of our village have protected our village for so many years, how can we be ungrateful?" His father glared at him and swung his hand as big as a palm fan, ready to beat him.

The old patriarch waved his hand to stop them, saying, "Children should not be restrained in their words!"

The young man's face flushed red, and he hurriedly explained: "Chief, I am not dishonest, I just feel that the sacrificial spirit does not need our sacrifices, so it has never been used!"

Shi Yunfeng patted his shoulder and said softly, "It's good as long as the intention is there."

The origin of their Shi Village sacrificial spirit is indeed extraordinary.

Decades ago, the sacrificial spirit was not a willow tree, but a strange stone. Every time a sacrifice was offered, most of its essence and blood would be lost and absorbed by it.

Until that night, the rain continued to fall, the old willow tree came, and the strange stone chose to go away.

The old patriarch had seen the origin of the willow tree, and he still could not forget that shocking scene. At that time, the old patriarch was just a teenager.

That late night, there were lightning and thunder, heavy rain, and the storm was as terrifying as the end of the world. Many mountains were collapsed by lightning, and there were mountain torrents like the sea and ferocious beasts like tides.

It was at that time that a towering willow tree appeared in the clouds, bathing in a sea of ​​thunder and surrounded by lightning as thick as hills. Thousands of willow branches turned into blazing divine chains, piercing the entire sky, as if fighting with something.

Finally, the big willow tree broke, its body turned black, and it shrunk to its current size. It fell into the stone village and took root there from then on. The lightning disappeared and the torrential rain faded away at the same time.

Not long after, the people of Shi Village went out hunting and happened to rescue Luo Yan, a scholar who claimed to be from the outside world, who was being chased by a ferocious beast.

Luo Yan at that time was only a little more immature than he is now, and it seemed that decades of time had not left many traces on him. Even the old people in the village knew about this.
