Chapter 1876 - 1859: The Terrifying Wentian Willow Tree

Leaving the Undying World, Xiao Ye followed his memory, flying in the direction of the Asking Sky Willow Tree, while constantly releasing his Spiritual Sense, probing the area ahead.

Now that the Time Great Saint had acquired the second Time Rain Stone and fallen into slumber, unable to warn him of the many dangers in the Undying Mountain, he could only rely on himself.

Even though his strength had greatly increased, he was still cautious along the way, so there were no real risks.

"Breaking through to the Late Stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, even my Spiritual Sense has become much stronger!"

Feeling everything within a radius of a thousand miles, all under his control as if he had seen it with his own eyes, Xiao Ye smiled slightly.

It’s important to know, this is the Undying Mountain, where Spirit Rank Martial Artists’ Spiritual Sense would be suppressed.

When he was at the Mid Stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, his Spiritual Sense could cover at most about two hundred miles.

As he continued to fly, the overwhelming battle fluctuations grew stronger from ahead, making Xiao Ye’s expression fill with joy.

"It seems the Asking Sky Willow Tree hasn’t disappeared, and the many powerful warriors in the Second Layer Heaven are still competing for the Asking Heaven Willow!"

Although he had been cultivating in the Undying World for a considerable amount of time, only four months had actually passed in the outside world.

With this thought, Xiao Ye accelerated, flying toward the direction of the Asking Sky Willow Tree.

"Damn it, these Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants are too insane, and their numbers keep increasing. If we keep fighting, I’ll lose my life here for sure. Better to leave quickly."

"Right, we heard there are other treasures and opportunities in the Undying Mountain. We don’t need to stubbornly fight these Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants."

"Sigh, the luckiest was that young guy who cultivates the Taichu Ancient Scripture. He actually managed to snatch three pieces of the Asking Heaven Willow."

"Was he lucky? I heard that Long Wanhai chased him into the Undying World. I’m afraid he won’t make it out alive."

...

Amidst the vast Undying Mountain, three Martial Artists were flying forward, conversing.

Each of them was a Peak Level Spirit Rank expert with great strength, but their Spirit Bodies were covered in blood, their aura rather weak, seemingly having experienced a fierce battle.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, one of the Martial Artists seemed to sense something, his gaze looked ahead and he was suddenly stunned.

"What’s the matter?"

"It’s him? How is this possible!"

The other two Martial Artists looked ahead, each also stunned as if they’d seen a ghost.

At this moment, a young man in a gilded robe, with an upright figure, appeared in their line of sight, flying towards them. Who else could it be but Xiao Ye?

Xiao Ye had already noticed these three, calmly flying over.

He had an impression of these three.

Although they were all at the Peak of Spirit Rank, their strength was probably around the eightieth position on the Realm Spirit List. However, looking at the three of them, they didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking him.

"Xiao Ye, you could actually come out of the Undying World alive? That’s unbelievable!" The three Martial Artists recovered, their faces full of shock.

"Xiao Ye, are you still going to compete for the Asking Sky Willow?"

"You’d better not go now. The Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants guarding the Asking Sky Willow Tree have increased greatly in number. Even a strong warrior ranked thirty-fifth on the Realm Spirit List has been killed. Most Martial Artists have been forced to leave. Those daring to stay and continue competing for the Asking Heaven Willow are almost all in the top thirty, with Long Wanhai among them."

One of the Martial Artists kindly reminded him.

"Oh?"

Xiao Ye was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

Have the Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants guarding the Asking Sky Willow really increased again?

"Thank you for the reminder."

Xiao Ye nodded to the three of them, soared into the sky, and quickly disappeared from their sight.

"Damn, we kindly reminded him, and what’s with his attitude?"

"Humph, if he insists on sending himself to his death, we can’t stop him. Let’s go."

...

The two Martial Artists showed dissatisfaction, but the other Martial Artist’s eyes were somewhat solemn: "Xiao Ye’s current aura... seems a bit unusual."

The next moment, disregarding his companions, he turned around and followed.

"Unusual?"

"Seems a bit, yes."

The two Martial Artists hesitated, then realized, exchanged looks, and followed as well.

On the other side, as Xiao Ye advanced quickly, the massive willow tree shrouded in mist finally came into view.

One by one, soft verdant willow branches drooped, as if evolving endless Dao Rhythm, containing overwhelming killing intent. Glancing around, the iron-clad spirit guards with shimmering cold light looked like Yin Soldiers returning to the world, stimulating the vast energy of the Undying Mountain, making all of nature tremble, guarding around the Asking Sky Willow Tree.

Many fresh corpses lay haphazardly near the Asking Sky Willow Tree, their blood staining the ground red.

"A full thirty Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes scanned over, and though he had been mentally prepared, he still took a cold breath.

Previously, just ten Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants had blocked many Spirit Rank experts, and now there were thirty. How many Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants had this Asking Sky Willow Tree produced? It’s simply terrifying.

At present, there were only over twenty Martial Artists combating the thirty Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants.

These more than twenty strong warriors each had a remarkable demeanor, the sound of ancient scriptures resonated from them incessantly, suppression weighed heavily over all heavens, various scripture phenomena continuously ascended, swallowing the rivers and mountains, working together to strike against the Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants, unwilling to give up.

No need to elaborate, these more than twenty strongest naturally were ranked around the thirtieth on the Realm Spirit List.

Although they weren’t numerous, they rarely set aside their pride and joined forces, actually fighting fiercely with the thirty Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants.

After another attempt was thwarted, these more than twenty warriors retreated from the Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants’ attack range, preparing to rest and launch another assault.

At their level, ordinary Cosmic Spiritual Treasures couldn’t make their powers break through anymore.

Yet, the Asking Sky Willow could, so naturally, they wouldn’t easily give up.

As long as they joined forces to kill all the Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants, these Asking Heaven Willows would be theirs. Such an investment was naturally worth it.

"Xiao Ye?"

A man with a purple crown inadvertently swept his gaze forward, suddenly his pupils contracted, his face twisted with rage, releasing overwhelming killing intent.

"Long Wanhai." Seeing he was discovered, Xiao Ye didn’t hide either, calmly appearing, drawing surprised gazes.

They had a deep impression of this youth who suddenly grabbed three pieces of the Asking Heaven Willow at a critical moment.

"Little Bastard, you could actually come out from the Undying World alive?" Long Wanhai soared into the sky.

"Everyone, wait for me to take care of this kid, then I’ll join you in dealing with these Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants!" Long Wanhai said sinisterly.

Losing three pieces of the Asking Heaven Willow wasn’t of great concern to him. What he was concerned about was his treasure being snatched by Xiao Ye. To him, it was a humiliation.

"Suit yourself."

"Just be quick about it. I reckon the kid may have refined those three pieces of the Asking Heaven Willow. These Iron Clothes Spiritual Servants are getting restless."

...

The twenty-odd powerful individuals in meditation replied coldly, without much interest in watching the fight.
