Chapter 385: Bond with Willow God
On this day, in the central mountain range of the Spiritual Sacrifice Realm, an unprecedentedly powerful spiritual force quietly gathered like a surging wave. The heaven and earth seemed to solidify at this moment, and all things held their breath.

To the east of the four poles, the purple air was vast, like a rushing river, surging out from the void and penetrating the nine heavens. Its momentum was so great that it made the stars tremble, and the light of the sun and the moon pale in comparison to this purple air.

Purple air symbolizes auspiciousness and contains endless vitality and power of creation. Wherever it passes, ripples appear in the void, as if even the heaven and earth are cheering for it.

The sound of Tao is mighty, the sounds of nature are gentle, the heaven and earth spontaneously play the melodious music of the gods, and the notes jump and turn into stars, sprinkling down into the mortal world.

Around Linghu Lake, flocks of cranes are dancing gracefully, with bright light flashing on their wings, as if carrying endless blessings.

Fairy flowers are blooming, with a unique fragrance filling the air. Each fairy flower is dancing and swaying, as if welcoming the creature that is about to be born.

“This aura… Could it be that someone has advanced to the level of a True Immortal? But no one has ever passed the Immortal Tribulation before?”

“No, such an auspicious phenomenon is more like the birth of a supernatural being.”

“A creature that defies nature… Could it be the work of the ancestor of the spirit? It looks like the spirit world will have another incomparable powerhouse in the future.”

At once, the True Immortals from the tribes surrounding the majestic mountains all set off, staring at the peak of the central mountain range, feeling the spontaneous congratulations from all the laws of heaven and earth.

In the center of the lake, a towering green willow emits surging golden light. Endless vitality condenses into dazzling golden clouds, pouring down like a waterfall and pouring into the body of the creature that has just been born.

After a moment, in a cradle made of countless green willow branches, surrounded by spiritual light, a baby wrapped in auspicious clouds and emitting soft light revealed its true appearance.

His face was handsome and flawless, his skin was whiter than snow, and every inch of it seemed to emit a faint fairy light. The crystal jade disc in his arms emitted nine-colored light, bright and brilliant, illuminating the heavens.

With the birth of the baby, the spiritual energy around seemed to have found a home. It swarmed in and turned into circles of spiritual energy ripples visible to the naked eye, spreading out in all directions.

Wherever the ripples passed, all things grew. Fairy grasses and fairy trees instantly grew several feet taller, with flowers blooming on the branches. The entire spiritual world was rejuvenated with unprecedented vitality and vigor under the nourishment of this spiritual power.

The auspicious energy is surging, the fairy light is surging, and the scene is extremely amazing.

Under the illumination of the nine-colored light, the entire spiritual world is bathed in peace and solemnity, and all living things can feel a sense of awe and longing coming from the depths of their souls.

With a thunder that shook the heavens and the earth, colorful divine thunder intertwined into a net above the nine heavens, but it did not bring the slightest meaning of destruction. Instead, it was like fairy brocade and satin, draped over his body.

Every flash of divine thunder was accompanied by violent fluctuations in the spiritual power of heaven and earth, as if washing away all the dust in the world and clearing a path to holiness for the one who had just been born.

Wrapped in the light, the baby slowly grew up, and its small body turned into a slender and upright figure, with skin as white as jade, emitting a faint glow.

His face was as perfect as a sculpture, with a beauty that transcended the world. His eyes and brows revealed a kind of indifference and transcendence, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world.

His black hair fell like a waterfall, exuding a soft luster, which complemented his handsome and flawless face.

The man who looked like a banished immortal, holding a jade disc that sparkled with nine colors, had a divine light flashing in his eyes, and he immediately understood the reason and whole story of everything.

He was originally a mortal named Zhang Shuo. By chance, he was favored by the Jade Disc of Creation and became the spirit of this chaos treasure. While shouldering the heavy responsibility of repairing the jade disc, he traveled to the Perfect World Universe and became a member of the primitive ancient world.

As a loyal reader of the “Zhan Tian” trilogy, after understanding his own situation, Zhang Shuo knew the identity of the willow tree behind him.

“Calm down…you must calm down. I should have received the favor of Willow God now. I must make good use of this opportunity to lay a good foundation for my future happiness.” Zhang Shuo suppressed his inner excitement and secretly planned his future development.

Among the female characters in the Great Saint Trilogy, if we were to choose the two most popular and powerful fairies, they would undoubtedly be the Willow Goddess and the Ruthless Empress.

Although different people certainly have different preferences, Zhang Shuo’s favorite female characters are the Ruthless Empress and the Willow God.

Therefore, he would naturally not let go of such a unique opportunity at the beginning.

“Where are you from?” Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in Zhang Shuo’s ears.

He immediately came back to his senses and turned to look at the willow tree behind him.

Under Zhang Shuo’s surprised gaze, he saw a stunningly beautiful figure walking out of the towering green willows. She slowly walked out of the void. The woman was pure and flawless, and her delicate jade feet gently stepped in the void.

The Willow Goddess moved with light lotus steps and unrivaled grace, giving people the feeling that a goddess had descended from the heavens to earth.

She was wearing a bluish-white robe that fitted her body perfectly, showing off her beautiful curves.

As she walked, her tall figure, long and plump legs, her tall and round breasts, and her slender and flexible waist and abdomen were revealed.

There is an unparalleled charm about Goddess Liu, which makes people, no matter what their status is, unable to help but look up to her.

Those clear and flawless eyes reveal a kind of understanding and calmness that comes from seeing the world, and a feeling of having experienced all the vicissitudes of life.

She came up to him, looked at Zhang Shuo’s handsome and flawless face and his lively eyes, and said, “Judging from your expression, you should have a certain amount of experience. Who are you and how did you come to the Spirit Sacrifice Realm?”

Zhang Shuo was stunned when he heard this, but then he reacted. God Liu must have seen that he was not an ignorant child, so he asked this question.

“My name is Zhang Shuo. I was originally an ordinary mortal. I was accidentally hit by this jade disc and became what I am now. I don’t know exactly what happened.”

Zhang Shuo gave a half-truthful explanation and he did not hide the existence of the Jade Disc of Creation.

After all, Willow God had already witnessed the existence of the jade disc, so he couldn’t hide it. Also, he wasn’t worried that Willow God would want to steal the treasure, because he and the Jade Disc of Creation were essentially one and the same and could not be separated at all.

Moreover, the Chaos Treasure is not something that a mere Immortal King or giant can shake, even if it is in a very poor condition and is almost shattered.

Goddess Liu listened to Zhang Shuo’s explanation and looked at the jade disc in his arms, a look of understanding flashed across her beautiful eyes.

As a top powerhouse in the primitive ancient world, after seeing the power of the jade disc, she knew that it was an extremely powerful treasure, but she had no covetous intention.

The reason is very simple. The more powerful the treasure is, the more complex and terrifying the cause and effect are. If you don’t get its approval, there will be no good results if you plunder it by force.

Zhang Shuo paid close attention to Liu Shen’s expression and roughly understood that he had passed the test, but this alone could not satisfy his “ambition”.

“Um… I don’t know how to address you, Fairy Sister?”

So, without hesitation or stage fright, Zhang Shuo mustered up his courage and took the initiative to speak. “Fairy sister… I am not some fairy sister. You can call me Willow God. This is the Spirit Sacrifice Realm, and it is also the world I created.”

Willow God was stunned by the title of “Fairy Sister”, but quickly recovered and said her name.

“Sister Liu Shen, can I…can I take you as my master?” Zhang Shuo continued.

“Become my disciple…this…” God Liu looked at the well-behaved Zhang Shuo and fell into deep thought.

She witnessed the entire process of Zhang Shuo’s gestation and birth, and knew how extraordinary his talent was.

It is very likely that the other party will reach her level in the future, and it is even possible that with the help of the mysterious jade disc, he will be able to reach a realm that no one has ever reached.

Thinking of this, Willow God looked at Zhang Shuo and said, “You are extremely talented and have a great treasure. You are a person of great luck. Your future achievements are limitless. I can accept you as my disciple.”

Zhang Shuo was delighted when he heard that, and almost jumped up with joy. Being able to become Liu Shen’s disciple was like embracing a pair of long, white, beautiful legs. His future path of cultivation would be much smoother.

The most important thing is that he has more opportunities to get along with Liu Shen, to cultivate feelings at close range, and to have the opportunity to realize his “ambition” and become the “man” behind Liu Shen.

In short, any road is taken step by step. As long as you take the first step, you are halfway to success.

Afterwards, under the arrangement of Willow God, Zhang Shuo first appeared in front of the high-ranking officials of the major tribes in the Sacrifice Spirit Realm, and established his noble status as a disciple of the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit Realm in front of a group of powerful immortals.

During this meeting, Zhang Shuo received gifts from many tribal leaders, all of which were various precious resources.

After all, among the top leaders of the forces under the command of the Immortal King giants, there is not a single weak one. They are basically all true immortals. Even the top leaders of the worst forces are supreme, and there are even several quasi-immortal kings who are strong enough.

Given their status, the gifts they gave would not be bad. They were all top-notch treasures rarely seen in the world, enough for ordinary cultivators to cultivate to the realm of true immortals.

Under the towering green willows in the center of Linghu Lake, Zhang Shuo sat opposite the Willow God, listening carefully to the Willow God’s plans for his future cultivation path.

“Zhang Shuo, your situation is rather special now. It may be because of that jade disc that you have been recognized by the heaven and earth of the primitive ancient world and have become a holy spirit of the immortal way.”

According to Willow God’s investigation, Zhang Shuo’s situation is very special, which may be due to the Jade Disc of Creation.

The myriad ways of heaven and earth in the primitive ancient world defined Zhang Shuo as a holy spirit born and raised by nature, so as soon as Zhang Shuo was born, he obtained the immortal foundation and the inheritance of the great way bestowed by the primitive ancient world.

“Immortal beings?”

Zhang Shuo was stunned when he heard this, looking a little surprised.

He knew that the Holy Spirit born and raised on earth would receive gifts from the universe and possess powerful cultivation as soon as they were born. However, he never expected that he would become a Holy Spirit and receive gifts from the universe and become a true immortal.

However, as the saying goes, if you don’t take what heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences. Anyway, the essence of the path of cultivation is the path of evolution, which is mainly about moving upward. Sooner or later, you will transcend the limitations of race, so it makes no difference whether you are a human or a holy spirit.

The Willow God’s beautiful eyes flickered. Seeing that Zhang Shuo’s emotions had calmed down, she continued:
“Although the heaven and earth have endowed you with a flawless foundation for the path of immortality, it has not fully developed your potential, which is a pity.

To be honest, this body of yours has endless potential, and even I cannot estimate your future height.

Therefore, regarding your future path of cultivation, I will give you two choices.”

Regarding Zhang Shuo’s immortal path bestowed by heaven, Willow God gave him two choices:

1. She could help Zhang Shuo cut off his immortal cultivation and start practicing from scratch. With his talent, he would definitely be able to lay a stronger foundation for cultivation.

2. Retain the current True Immortal Taoism, but the Willow God will set up nine seals in his body to imprison most of his cultivation. Through fighting and enlightenment and other training methods, he will master this huge amount of cultivation until he can completely make it his own.

Faced with these two choices, Zhang Shuo fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, “Sister Liushen, I want to know about the relationship between our primitive ancient world and the foreign lands.”

“The relationship between the primitive ancient world and the foreign land!” Willow God was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Shuo with surprise. After thinking for a while, he replied:
“Recently, there have been a lot of frictions between the foreign world and our world. There have been many conflicts, both large and small. The current situation is quite tense…Are you worried that a war of the Immortal King level will break out?”

Zhang Shuo’s eyes flickered as he spoke vaguely, “The foreign lands have always been ambitious and have long been eyeing our world. There is a high possibility of a war in the future.”

Willow God frowned slightly, pointed at his chin with his green jade finger, and after thinking for a moment, he said, “It shouldn’t be possible. Although the strength of our world is not as strong as that of the foreign world, it is definitely not weaker.

If the foreign land dares to start a war at the level of Immortal King, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. At that time, the Immortal Realm will definitely take advantage of the situation to rob. The foreign land will not make such a mistake. “

Facing Liu Shen’s explanation, Zhang Shuo also understood this point. If the foreign land went to war with the primitive ancient world in its heyday, it would definitely suffer heavy losses.

After all, the primitive ancient world is ruled by several immortal kings, which is definitely not something that the current foreign land can easily swallow, but accidents always happen in the world.

According to the records in the original book, the primitive ancient world will encounter a horrific dark attack, which will cause a large number of top powerhouses to be eroded by the darkness and suffer heavy losses in high-end combat power. In addition, the foreign lands will adopt the tactics of outnumbering the immortal kings of the primitive ancient world and defeating them one by one, which will lead to the complete decline of this top world.

Zhang Shuo closed his eyes slightly, various information flashed through his mind. Combined with Willow God’s description of the current situation, he could be sure that it was now the late period of the Ancient Immortal Era, and there was probably not much time left before the devastating battle between the Immortal Kings.

“Phew! Sorry, Sister Liushen, I choose the second option.”

Goddess Liu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. Combining the conversation just now, she understood Zhang Shuo’s considerations of not wanting to sacrifice all his cultivation. However, she was more curious about what kind of inside story Zhang Shuo knew that made him think that a war of the Immortal King level would break out between the two worlds.

“It seems that you know something…” God Liu said thoughtfully.

“Um, that…I…”

When Zhang Shuo was about to explain something, Willow God shook his head, interrupted him, and said:

“Don’t be nervous. I don’t blame you. Everyone has their own secrets. The more powerful a person is, the more likely they are to have secrets. This is normal.

As your master, I also respect your choice. To be honest, what you said makes sense. Compared to an uncertain future, it is better to have the power to protect yourself.

The foundation of cultivation is not without the opportunity to be rebuilt, so retaining the cultivation is also a good choice.”
