Chapter 441: The Tianjue Island

Hearing Wang Mu's words, Shi Huang fell slightly silent and said, "Until now, I still cannot prove that what you said is true."

Wang Mu pulled out a Communication Talisman and performed a series of operations.

A moment later, scene after scene of imagery materialized in the air.

The images showed scenes of inhumane cruelty: dense crowds of people being pushed onto altars and sacrificed through a blood sacrifice Formation.

On the battlefield.

There were figures cloaked in hooded robes specifically responsible for gathering remnant souls.

There were also captured cities, devastated and scarred, with scenes inside that made one's spine chill.

These images were not particularly clear.

They looked like they were taken covertly.

Yet, these scenes still caused Shi Huang's pupils to contract slightly.

He had been roaming the battlefield since he was very young.

What tragic scenes had he not witnessed?

Yet none touched him as deeply as what was before his eyes.

“They've shown their hand now, they aren't pretending at all!” Wang Mu said. “What you see is only a very small part of it.”

“As for how to choose, I think you already have the answer in your heart!”

“As for what I said, the future is long; you can take your time to verify it!”

“…”

Shi Huang did not speak, but his fists clenched tight.

After a long while.

He let out a long breath, and his gaze became clear and bright. “I understand.”

Wang Mu patted his shoulder, nodded, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving.

He suddenly looked toward the Ancient Willow tree behind Shi Huang and smiled, “Good tree!”

Having said that.

He stepped into the Void Realm and vanished.

A trace of imperceptible shock surfaced in Shi Huang's eyes.

The lakeside became quiet once more.

After a long time, the willow tree suddenly moved without any wind, emitting bursts of divine radiance.

“He… seems to have discovered your existence?” Shi Huang looked at the willow tree and said in surprise.

The willow tree swayed its green branches, emitting a pleasant yet ancient female voice: “Very strange. This person, I cannot see through him!”

As soon as these words were spoken.

Shi Huang's face showed shock. “Even you cannot see through him?”

The reason he was able to restore his cultivation in a short time, and even go a step further to open a new path.

Was not just because of the effect of the [Heavenly Book].

This mysterious willow tree had also played a crucial role.

In his understanding, this willow tree was incredibly ancient and did not belong to this world; it was extremely transcendent.

He never expected.

That upon the first contact with Wang Mu, it would give such an evaluation.

However, the next words from the other party shocked Shi Huang even more.

“Since the dawn of heaven, throughout the eternal eons, I have seen countless living beings, but none have ever been like him!” the Ancient Willow stated bluntly.

Shi Huang was even more shocked: “Could you explain in more detail?”

The Ancient Willow sighed: “It's not that I won't say, but rather, I don't know where to begin! His body seems to contain endless Karma and hundreds of millions of possibilities. Such an existence should not exist in this world!”

Shi Huang opened his mouth but could not speak, truly shaken to the core.

The impression of Wang Mu in his mind became increasingly mysterious and unfathomable.

“But, one thing he said was correct,” the Ancient Willow added.

“What?”

“You are one born to meet the tribulation! A great tribulation is about to descend upon this world, and you are the key within it…”

“If I don't go, what will happen?”

“You will go.” The Ancient Willow's voice remained flat, as if devoid of any emotion.

Shi Huang fell into silence. After a long time, he let out a sigh… Half a month later.

With Wang Mu's research on the rebel cyborgs and targeted strategies.

The situation on the battlefield shifted from the initial steady retreats.

It had long since become a stalemate between evenly matched forces.

The situation became tense and anxious.

The chaos also entered a strange kind of stability.

It was at this time.

That a piece of startling news spread.

The Desolate Heaven Marquis, who was originally famous on the frontier battlefield, had actually joined the camp of the Prince Wei Mansion.

Instantly, it caused a massive uproar… Tianjue Island, Star-Plucking Tower.

Wang Mu held a ball of golden flame in his hand, while the fingers of his other hand moved like phantoms. Dozens to hundreds of medicinal herbs continuously flew up and merged into the flame.

They were being purified and refined.

“Son, what on earth did you say to him?”

On the table, from the Communication Talisman, a man with a resolute face and thick eyebrows spoke in a very shocked voice.

It was precisely the son of Prince Wei.

The Great Xia Manslaughterer, Wang Tianba.

Wang Mu's expression was calm as he continued his operations. “I appealed to his emotions, moved him with reason, and clearly explained the pros and cons!”

Wang Tianba said in surprise, “That's it?”

Wang Mu nodded. “That's it.”

Wang Tianba said in disbelief, “He could believe that?”

Wang Mu smiled and said, “Dad, if you have time, you can go out and ask around. Your son's current credibility in the entire Northern Region—if I say I'm second, no one would dare to claim first!”

Wang Tianba: “…”

For a long time, he had been stationed in the military camp, needing to be constantly on guard against rebellions everywhere.

He was so busy all day that his feet barely touched the ground.

Inevitably, his care for his own son had been somewhat lacking.

But… it had only been a mere year since they last met.

Every time he heard people talk about the earth-shattering things Wang Mu had done in the Northern Region, he always had a sense of unreality.

But those things, in the end, were all acceptable.

After all, it was just doing business.

However, regarding Shi Huang, Wang Tianba understood him extremely well. He had a steadfast Dao Heart and high talent. Whether it was his ability to lead troops in battle or his own cultivation Aptitude, he could be called a top-tier Prodigy of the world.

If not for their opposing camps.

Wang Tianba would have quite admired Shi Huang.

But he also knew that such a person could not possibly be won over by him.

Yet now, Shi Huang had taken the initiative to come to their door and join their camp.

This was too dreamlike.

“Could there be some trickery in this?” Wang Tianba was still a bit worried.

“Don't worry, Dad! A person like Shi Huang either wouldn't come and would oppose us openly, or since he has come, you can use him with confidence. Don't place any restrictions on him; let him do whatever he wants!”

Wang Mu was still staring at the fire in his hand, watching those medicinal properties continuously condense and transform within the light of the fire, his eyes brightening slightly.

He also kept talking: “As the saying goes, if you use a person, do not doubt them; if you doubt a person, do not use them!”

Hearing this, Wang Tianba laughed and scolded, “You kid, you're actually teaching your father how to manage people!”

Wang Mu smiled. “Alright, Dad, you get busy first. I still have some things to handle here!”

As he spoke, without waiting for Wang Tianba to say anything, he took the initiative to hang up the communication.

Buzz—

It was at this moment.

In his hand, that group of medicinal pellets also took shape.

They were pitch black.

Emitting a faint divine light.

“This time, there should be no problem…”

Wang Mu instructed, “Tingting, find a few Mortals on the island and bring them here!”

“Yes, Young Lord.”

…A moment later.

Several Mortals were brought before Wang Mu.

There were males and females, all of them quite young.

“Young Lord, as you instructed, they have been tested. None of them possess a Spiritual Root!” Nie Tingting said respectfully.

“Mm.” Wang Mu divided that medicinal pellet into three, turning it into three Medicinal Pills, and had each person take one.

The people did not dare to delay.

They hurriedly swallowed them.

A moment later, a faint halo of Spiritual Qi emanated from their bodies.

It worked!

The corners of Wang Mu's mouth curled up slightly.

Beside him, Nie Tingting and the others instantly widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.
