Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 334 Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit

And so, the group gathered around the three thousand stone steps, the campfire crackling, and they began to chat.

"Little brother, what are your plans for the future?"

Shi An held a skewer of roasted, golden-brown, and oily meat in his hand and handed it to Shi Hao, his eyes questioning.

Shi Hao took the beast meat, took a bite, and felt the rich aroma of the meat spread in his mouth. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I made a promise to meet someone again before. Although I don't know how much time has passed, I still have to go and see them."

After saying that, Shi Hao immediately asked in return, "Brother, what about you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi An turned to look at Yun Xi before saying, "I'll explore this ancient city with Xiao Xi and visit another place along the way."

"Where?"

Shi Hao was puzzled. Wasn't this his little brother An's first time visiting Xian Gu? Did he know someone in Xian Gu?
At the same time, Qingyi, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, and others also turned their gazes over, somewhat curious about where the other party was going.

"Didn't I say that?"

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Shi An raised an eyebrow slightly, his knuckles lightly tapping the animal bone wine cup on his knee. A sly smile flickered in his eyes as the firelight danced: "Liu Shen is not only the sacrificial spirit of our Stone Village, but also the ancestral sacrificial spirit of the Immortal Ancient."

"It can be said that the reason why the entire Immortal Ancient City was able to survive from the previous era was because of her protection."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao, Huo Ling'er, Yun Xi, Qing Yi, and others who knew who Liu Shen was stood up in shock, completely unaware that the beast meat in their hands had fallen to the ground.

In the firelight, their faces flickered between light and shadow, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Willow Goddess...the ancestral spirit of the Immortal Ancient?

The news was so shocking that even Shi Hao's pupils constricted slightly, and he almost dropped the meat in his hand.

"Brother, is what you're saying true? Is the Willow God really the ancestral spirit of the Immortal Ancients?"

Shi Hao's voice trembled slightly as he stared intently at Shi An, as if trying to see a trace of a joke in his eyes. The image of the towering willow tree at the village entrance also came to mind.

Huo Ling'er, Yun Xi, and Qing Yi were also shocked. In their minds, the so-called Willow God was just a sacrificial spirit of the Stone Village in the lower realm. They never expected that it was related to the Immortal Ancient Era and the previous era.

For a moment, all three women turned their gazes to Shi An, waiting for his answer.

As for the Lunar Jade Rabbit and Cao Yusheng, they were somewhat puzzled and curious because they had never heard of the Willow God. Who exactly was this so-called Willow God? How come everyone else knew her? And she might even be some kind of ancient ancestral spirit?
"Ancestral spirits?"

Suddenly, Cao Yusheng seemed to realize something and asked in surprise, "Could it be the legendary willow tree?"

The Moon Jade Rabbit's ears twitched, and it became interested. It hopped over to Shi An's side, tugged at his clothes, and asked, "Hey, tell me quickly, just how powerful is this Willow Goddess? And how did she become the sacrificial spirit of your Stone Village?"

Seeing the shocked or curious expressions on everyone's faces, Shi An did not answer directly. He simply smiled slightly, picked up his wine cup, and raised it towards the depths of the Immortal Ancient Realm. His gaze was deep and far-reaching, as if he had pierced through countless ages and seen the willow tree that once stood between heaven and earth, suppressing all the myriad realms.

Although Shi An did not answer their questions, this scene made everyone even more certain that what he said was no exaggeration. Liu Shen was indeed the spirit of the ancient immortal ancestor.

"so·······"

After the initial shock subsided, Shi Hao gradually calmed down and looked at Shi An again, saying, "Are you going to pay your respects to her? But isn't she... in Stone Village right now?" As he spoke, Shi Hao looked at Shi An with a puzzled expression. Wasn't the Willow Goddess in Stone Village? What was his brother going to see? Had the Willow Goddess come from the mortal realm?

"Who told you I was going to pay my respects to the Willow Goddess herself?"

Shi An put down his wine glass, his fingertips gently stroking the rim. In the firelight, a chaotic mist seemed to swirl deep within his pupils: "Before Liu Shen left, she left a battle mark on this world to protect it."

"I see."

After listening to Shi An's explanation, Shi Hao nodded in understanding and then said, "Since there are Willow God's battle marks here, I should go and pay a visit as well."

However, Shi An did not agree to Shi Hao's request. Instead, he smiled and said to him, "Aren't you going to look for friends? Besides, there's no rush to visit them. You will meet them when the time is right."

"Oh well!"

Hearing Shi An say this, Shi Hao also thought of the two first-generation followers he had previously subdued. He had already delayed them for so long, and now that they had cultivated immortal energy, it seemed inappropriate for him to continue delaying them.

Therefore, he had no choice but to give up on visiting the Willow God right now.

Since Shi Hao had given up, Huo Ling'er naturally didn't say anything more, and Qing Yi also fell silent.

Putting aside the fact that she already had something to do, even if she didn't, given her position, it really wouldn't be appropriate for her to go alone.

"I want to go! I want to go!"

On the contrary, the Lunar Jade Rabbit was so excited that it jumped around on the spot. Finally, it grabbed Shi An's hand and shouted, "Brother An, take me there, take me there! Maybe the Willow God will give me some opportunities."

Cao Yusheng, who was standing to the side, looked at Shi An with curiosity and said, "Brother Shi An, I would also like to go and admire the demeanor of that ancient immortal ancestor, the spirit worshipper. Is that alright?"

"Row."

Looking at the expectant eyes of the Moon Jade Rabbit and the curious expression on Cao Yusheng's face, Shi An smiled and nodded: "Since you are all interested, let's go together."

After reaching an agreement, everyone went their separate ways.

Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er went to keep their appointment, Qing Yi went to find a place of opportunity, and Shi An, Yun Xi, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Cao Yusheng and others embarked on a journey to the place where the battle mark of Liu Shen was located.

Along the way, the beautiful scenery of the Immortal Ancient World unfolded before their eyes. Exotic flowers and rare herbs emitted a charming fragrance, and rare birds and animals roamed and played among the mountains and forests.

However, the Moon Rabbit had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery; its heart was filled with anticipation for the battle imprint of the Willow God.

Ancient ruins, a sacred site for worshipping spirits.

This is an auspicious land, rich in spiritual energy. Even the most ordinary grasses in the mountains possess a spiritual quality and glow.

Within this vast mountain range, there are ten incredibly powerful tribes, each protecting this place.

The ten tribes are all vast, not only with large populations but also with extraordinary strength, each with a powerful figure, such as a god or even a religious leader, in charge.

In the heart of the ten tribes, the wonders of nature are even more evident. Amidst the towering peaks, magnificent palaces stand in various formations, some floating above the sea of ​​clouds, others built on cliffs atop peaks. Each palace is shrouded in auspicious mist, resembling a celestial abode.
