Chapter 714: Yanagi-sama – Reconstruction of the Small Tower

A towering willow tree was reborn, transitioning from charred black to flourishing, emerald green and translucent, carrying a surging aura of life.

The Willow Deity reappears!

"Mother Willow!"

"Willow Deity!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Fan and Shi Hao's emotions fluctuated wildly; even though both were already Quasi-Immortal Emperors, they couldn't help but be excited.

Opposite them, the Willow Deity was equally moved. After so many years, it was truly not easy to meet here again.

Chiii!

At the same time, an object flew out from Shi Hao's body; it was a snow-white bone tower, which merged into the Willow Deity's canopy.

"Ah-ya!"

That was the voice of the Small Tower. Another part of its remnant body rushed out, overjoyed to see its long-lost remains.

With a boom, the two collided, forming a nine-layered bone tower. Dao symbols bloomed, dazzling and brilliant.

"Small Tower!" Shi Hao was pleasantly surprised to see another old friend.

Back then, the Small Tower had followed the Willow Deity into the Primordial Gate, crossing the Realm Sea together. Today was their reunion.

"Who would have thought? The Brat from back then is already a high and mighty Quasi-Immortal Emperor in the blink of an eye, sweeping through this end!"

The Small Tower spoke, its entire body snow-white, feeling very emotional.

At that time, Lin Fan had seen this tower; it only had four layers then, and later he returned two layers.

When the Golden-Haired Hou was wiped out, another two layers were discovered. As for the final layer of the bone tower, Shi Hao obtained it upon returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Now, with the nine layers of the tower merged, the Small Tower's cultivation had also reached the Immortal King Realm!

Chiii!

Then, with a flash of multi-colored light, the towering tree body faded away, and the Willow Deity revealed her true form. Dressed in white, her face was beautiful and incomparably elegant.

This was a peerless and magnificent being!

Although the Willow Deity was female, she wore men's clothing and was dressed as a man, possessing an unparalleled grace.

She was just as she had been in the past—so peaceful and serene, with matchless style and an unforgettable, supreme temperament!

However, a trace of worry now appeared on her beautiful face because Lin Fan and Shi Hao were about to continue their journey.

"Next, Shi Hao and I are going deep into the Ultimate Ancient Land. The heavens might collapse and the earth might rend, and nothing may remain. You cannot stay here,"

Lin Fan explained.

Although the Rotten Wooden Box and the Everlasting Sword Core had been exiled, he was still uneasy, fearing some unforeseen accident.

When that time came, they would be unable to look after their friends and family. After all, that was the first Immortal Emperor of all the heavens, whose methods were unimaginable.

"Only by sending you away to a safe enough place can Little Fan and I set off with peace of mind," Shi Hao said.

Having just reunited, they had to part again. Even though they were reluctant, for the safety of their old friends, the two could only do this.

"You two must take care!" the Willow Deity said earnestly, her voice slightly magnetic.

She was moved; seeing Lin Fan and Shi Hao's current achievements, she felt both relief and deep concern.

The situation in the heart of the Ultimate Ancient Land was unknown and full of dangers. It was possible that once the two left, they would never be seen again.

But without becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, who in this world could walk with them? Forcing themselves to follow would only distract the two.

"Fellow Daoists, I once felt a power that transcends the Quasi-Immortal Emperor. You must be careful!" the humanoid Emperor Fire warned.

Lin Fan and Shi Hao nodded, and then the two performed a great technique, tearing through the chaotic void to send them to an unknown land.

Rumble!

This was the Ultimate method of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, piercing through all obstacles. It was as if time itself had been punctured as the Willow Deity and the Small Tower crossed over.

The Emperor Fire left behind by the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor was also exiled into the void to follow them, serving as protection in case of any accidents.

"In another year, once we have pacified everything, we will come to find you again."

Then, Lin Fan and Shi Hao continued their journey, covering infinite distances in a single step as they set foot in the depths of the Ultimate Ancient Land.

But soon, both stopped again because they saw some halls appearing on the ground, sacred and brilliant.

Guidance Ancient Palaces!

"There's more than one; they're densely packed," Shi Hao said in surprise.

One could see fields of cages, one after another, rising and falling there, permeating with a thick aura of darkness.

By now, the divine senses of the two had reached a terrifying level; with a single thought, they could sweep across and know everything in the world.

However, they were horrified. In every single cage here, countless living beings were imprisoned—each one a Primordial Spirit.

"Since countless eras, the Dark Calamity has erupted more than once, and all those Primordial Spirits that were guided here are all in this place."

Lin Fan frowned. Even though he had known about the situation here for a long time, seeing it with his own eyes was still incredibly shocking and heart-wrenching.

Because some of the beings inside had been imprisoned for so long that their consciousnesses had long since grown dim, or they had even gone mad, devouring one another.

"Why guide so many Primordial Spirits here? Is it just to create dark citizens?" Shi Hao wondered.

At their level, no matter how many beings there were below them, they could all be wiped out with a wave of a hand. It didn't make much sense, so he couldn't figure it out.

"The truth all lies at the end!" Lin Fan's gaze was profound.

Afterward, the two continued forward. They didn't actually have to go much further to reach the deepest part of the Ultimate Ancient Land.

Looking from afar, the front glowed faintly. A stone tablet stood there, not very tall, and as white as jade.

This was the end of the clusters of Guidance Ancient Palaces. If they went any further, there would be a strange fluctuation of power, making it difficult to proceed.

"This is—"

Suddenly, Shi Hao stared at that tablet in surprise because its material was exactly the same as the Original True Understanding—snow-white bone.

On it, some runes were also engraved, containing the Ultimate principles of heaven and earth, flowing with an ancient Dao charm.

"The final chapter of the Original True Understanding—Ultimate!"

Lin Fan's eyes shone brightly; even he was very moved. One must know that this was the great technique of the first Immortal Emperor of all the heavens.

It was divided into three chapters in total!

The first chapter, Divine Guidance, was suitable for Mortal Dao Cultivators to comprehend and was widely spread throughout the world, inspiring many.

The second chapter, Transcendence, focused on how to achieve Immortal Ascension. It was inscribed on a large cauldron. Although not many people had seen it throughout history, there were still some.

Lin Fan and Shi Hao were among them.

At that time, by comparing the two, they gained significant benefits in creating their own systems.

As for the third chapter, Ultimate, no one had ever seen it; it existed only in legends. Who would have thought it would be right here!

In the next moment, both Lin Fan and Shi Hao began to study it seriously, confirming that it was indeed the final chapter.

The Original True Understanding had three chapters in total, each corresponding to a different Realm but interconnected; one could tell at a glance that this was correct.

Thus, the two began to comprehend it. They closed their eyes and only woke up after a long time, having gained some insights, though not many.

Because this final chapter spoke of the cultivation methods for a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. For the two who were already in that Realm, they had reached the end.

It did not touch upon the Immortal Emperor domain.

"We are already Quasi-Immortal Emperors. Studying this technique now only has reference value; it doesn't hold much significance anymore."

The two sighed, their eyes flashing as they realized some issues: "Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die!"

One could be inspired by this technique and feel the various wonders of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, but if one blindly imitated it, they would be imprisoned by it for life.

This was also the reason why the Ultimate chapter was placed here.

The being who created it did not want descendants to continue the path of their predecessors, but to transcend and create different techniques!

"Leaving a Quasi-Immortal Emperor technique here—this is truly a grand gesture!"

Lin Fan was full of admiration. Brother Emperor Bone was also a person of great spirit; his only flaw was being too reckless, getting schemed against just as he became an Immortal Emperor.

Otherwise, the Dark Calamity would not have occurred in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.
