Chapter 165 Three Celestial Kings Intercept the Enemy, What is the Real Identity of This Willow Tree? The Confused Daoist Boy…
He picked another one and handed it to Qian Renxue, who was standing next to him.
Qian Renxue took the fruit, then carefully took a bite, and her beautiful eyes immediately lit up:
"This flavor is a hundred times richer than the ten-thousand-year-old sacred fruit treasured by my Spirit Hall!"
And so, the two of them ate the wild fruits that were readily available everywhere, while commenting on the flowers and plants around them.
His expression, like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, made the young Taoist priest beside him shake his head.
However, the young Taoist priest did not stop them, because as long as they did not eat the poisonous fruit, it was fine.
Immediately afterwards, the young Taoist priest calmly took out an ancient bronze compass from his robes.
The compass was covered with intricate patterns of the Great Dao, and the pointer trembled slightly, as if sensing some direction.
"Alright, alright, stop looking like you've never seen anything like this before."
Soon, after determining the direction, the young Taoist put away the compass, pointed to the east where the purple aura was most concentrated, and said with a look of disdain:
"These are nothing more than the lowest-grade wild fruits in the Immortal Realm, not even worth a glance from the immortal beasts that guard my master's door."
"Only a few of these trees have grown in this desolate wilderness."
"Once we reach the Primordial Celestial Court, I'll show you what true celestial treasures are all about."
"The peaches there, even their pits, can instantly transform mortals into gods."
"Even more precious is the Enlightenment Tea, which can bring enlightenment to people in a hundred years with just one sip."
"But the best stuff is still in the herb garden on the back hill..."
The young Taoist was speaking enthusiastically, wanting to show off his superiority to these bumpkins from the lower realms.
However, at that moment, his voice suddenly stopped.
The previously arrogant expression froze on his face, replaced by extreme terror.
Immediately afterwards, the bronze compass in his hand began to tremble violently as if it had gone mad.
The pointer spun wildly until it finally exploded with a loud crack!
"This, this is..."
At the same time, the Willow God, who had been silent all along, quietly absorbing the spiritual energy of the immortal realm with his branches, suddenly straightened his tender green willow branches that had been stretching out!
An unprecedentedly solemn atmosphere began to emanate from the charred tree stump.
"They're here."
Liu Shen's voice was soft, yet it revealed a rare hint of solemnity.
Boom!!!
The next second, the once clear and sunny sky of the Immortal Realm suddenly darkened.
Instead of dark clouds obscuring the sun, two enormous hands, each covering the sky, emerged from the distant depths of the universe, shattering countless stars before pressing down fiercely upon this mountain range!
"Ao Sheng! Tai Shi!"
Liu Shen revealed her true form and said with slightly narrowed eyes.
As soon as the words were spoken, two indescribably majestic figures emerged from the void, accompanied by a sky full of blood rain and the strange phenomenon of gods and demons falling.
On the left is a figure clad in nine-colored immortal golden armor, whose every step causes the void to collapse.
It was as if they wanted to wipe out everything in this world.
That's Immortal King Ao Sheng!
On the right is a man holding a blood-dripping immortal sword, surrounded by the wails of countless wronged souls.
The intense stench of blood was so strong that it even caused the surrounding spiritual energy to instantly decay.
That was the Primordial Immortal King!
"Ancestral spirits, how have you been?"
Ao Sheng, the Immortal King, looked down at Liu Shen with eyes as bright as two blazing suns, and grinned as he said:
"I never thought that the attack back then wouldn't have completely wiped you out, and that you'd be clinging to life like a rat until today."
"but..."
"Now that you're back, let's settle this last bit of karma today!"
On the other hand, the Primordial Immortal King was even more direct.
He glanced coldly at the Taoist boy and Shi Hao beside him, his tone indifferent, like a dragon looking down at ants.
"Get out, you irrelevant people."
"Today, we will only kill Liu Shen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the might of the Celestial King instantly swept across the sky.
For a moment, even the entire mountain range trembled under this oppressive force.
Even Qian Renxue and Shi Hao felt as if an ancient divine mountain was pressing down on them, making it extremely difficult to breathe!
And this was only because the Taoist boy and the Willow God were protecting them at the same time; otherwise, it would probably have exploded on the spot.
And this is the Immortal King level existence standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal Path!
However, Liu Shen appeared unusually calm.
Behind her, on that charred tree stump, only a few tender green willow branches swayed gently in the strong wind, emitting faint, shimmering light.
Facing these two formidable enemies who had once joined forces to drive her to the brink of despair, she felt neither anger nor fear, only a calm and detached composure born from the vicissitudes of time.
"As long years have passed and eras have changed, the sea has turned into mulberry fields."
Willow Goddess's voice was soft, yet it resonated clearly between heaven and earth.
"You two are still so impatient."
"What you did in the past, you will reap today."
"Back then, you took advantage of my Nirvana to sever my Dharma body and destroy my foundation."
"Now that I have returned, you are so eager to eliminate me completely. Is it because you are afraid?"
At this point, Liu Shen's originally gentle voice suddenly gained a sharp edge:
"I fear that if I return to my peak, I will settle old scores."
"I'm still afraid that in this Immortal Realm, there will be no place for you, Ao Sheng and Tai Shi, to stand."
However, these few simple words caused the two Immortal Kings' faces to darken simultaneously, making them wish they could kill him on the spot.
"presumptuous!"
With a furious roar, the Nine-Colored Immortal Ring behind him trembled violently, and for a moment, the phantoms of billions of stars kept disappearing behind him.
"You're nothing but a piece of withered wood on the verge of decay, yet you dare to speak presumptuously of the Way of Heaven?!"
"Afraid of you? What a joke!"
"We have come here today only to follow the will of Heaven and send you, this damned spirit, to your final rest!"
Seeing this scene, the young Taoist and Qingyunzi were already terrified.
The shock in my heart could not be calmed.
He originally thought that his master had asked him to guide a creature from the lower realm with some talent, but he never expected that this seemingly dying willow tree would have such a terrifying background!
The moment they stepped into the Immortal Realm, they were personally intercepted and killed by two powerful Immortal Kings!
Damn it, this isn't a willow tree, it's clearly a living taboo!
"Oh no, oh no, this is a huge mess..."
For a moment, the young Taoist was also filled with dread.
But he knew that he could not back down at this moment. He had come with the decree of the Primordial Immortal Court, representing the face of his master, Jiang Chen!
Thinking of this, the young Taoist took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and took a step forward despite the oppressive aura.
Then, he clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the two Celestial Kings high in the sky, trying his best to maintain the dignity befitting the Primordial Celestial Court:
"This junior is a disciple of the Primordial Immortal Lord, and greets Immortal King Ao Sheng and Immortal King Tai Shi!"
"This time, I am descending to the mortal realm to guide you, in accordance with the decree of my master, the Primordial Immortal Lord."
"These are all people my master specifically requested to see."
