Chapter 1425: Chapter 884: Celebrating the New Year_2

As they walked, the woman clung tightly to the Banished Immortal’s hand, her eyes brimming with a rich love that couldn’t be dissolved.

It is worth mentioning that, three thousand years ago, the Witch successfully stepped into the Immortal Path Field.

With her talent, being a Supreme was already the pinnacle, and although there was a slight possibility of becoming an Immortal, the chances were very low, virtually non-existent when considering the vast multitude.

However, the Banished Immortal found her a precious treasure that helped her successfully enter the Immortal Path Field.

Strength was secondary; the most important thing was that after becoming an Immortal, she no longer had to worry about her lifespan, which was the happiest thing for the Witch.

She never cared much for strength, whether in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths or in the Immortal Domain, her only wish was to always be by the Banished Immortal’s side, content with whatever came their way.

As for the War Goddess, thanks to the true inheritance from Emperor Merciless and her fitting talent, she has now become an Immortal.

Tu Wa Zi looked around and couldn’t help but sigh: “This square has become more and more magnificent, I remember when I was a child, it was just a patch of yellow mud!”

In a sense, he is a witness to the village’s rapid development.

Purely in terms of seniority, there are not many in the village who rank above him.

Subsequently, Tu Wa Zi couldn’t help but feel emotional about the Banished Immortal and the Witch, a perfect match of talents and beauty, one like an independent Immortal aloof from the world, the other like a smart girl from the Nine Heavens, their degree of compatibility only ranking second to his own and the War Goddess’s.

The War Goddess smiled slightly: “Yes, they indeed match well. But our daughter is also great, she will definitely find her happiness in the future.”

As she spoke, she bent down to kiss her daughter’s little cheek, and the little girl immediately giggled as if she understood her mother’s words.

The girl’s laughter was clear and melodious, like strings of silver bells echoing in the air, adding a touch of warmth and joy to the lively square. Tu Wa Zi looked at his wife and daughter with gentleness and pride in his eyes, gently patting the War Goddess’s shoulder and said tenderly: “Yes, our little treasure will definitely achieve great things in the future, maybe even surpass us.”

“Of course, just look at whose child she is.”

In the square.

In the passage left clear.

“Sister, walk slowly, it’s crowded now, easy to bump into others.”

A seven- or eight-year-old boy dressed in a dark blue cotton jacket with a tuft of hair on his forehead, looking stout, was loudly calling out to a little girl toddling in front of him.

Impotence mixed with indulgence on his little face.

So brazen just having learned to walk…

“Brother, with you watching over Tuan Tuan, Tuan Tuan is not afraid,” the little girl looked back, her voice milky and tender.

“Hehe, New Year’s is coming.”

…

In a corner of the square, within a slightly low pavilion on the hill,

Ye Fan, Emperor Merciless, and Emperor No-Origin stood still, watching the little siblings.

They were quite accustomed to living in Liu Village, even Emperor Merciless had developed a habit of joining the hustle and bustle.

Hearing there was a feast to enjoy, it was Emperor Merciless who took the initiative to pull Ye Fan and Emperor No-Origin over.

It’s not that the Great Empress was greedy for food, even though the culinary delights of Liu Village were indeed peerless, each taste unique and wonderfully appetizing, urging one to feast lavishly. However, she was at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level and had long been able to fast, not really caring about food.

The main reason for her attendance was the festive atmosphere and human warmth that brought back feelings of her childhood.

Watching the siblings, a flood of memories surged in the heart of Emperor Merciless.

Like a tide washing over her.

Once upon a time, she had a brother who loved her dearly.

But… that familiar figure is something she can never find again, no matter what.

Even though she has reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, and has traveled through countless years trying to reverse the inevitable, she still cannot find that figure again.

It is only amidst the bustling joy that Emperor Merciless can gently soothe the sorrows in her heart.

Lord Ruthless sighed almost imperceptibly.

Emperor No-Origin wasn’t very clear about Emperor Merciless’s past, perhaps she was reminded of future wars, not wanting such peaceful and harmonious scenery to be destroyed?

Ye Fan knew well why the woman suddenly sighed and stepped forward, patting Emperor Merciless’s shoulder.

“Let’s go, or we’ll miss out on good spots,” Ye Fan said, enthusiastic about feasting due to past experiences.

“Fellow Daoists,” Shi Hao had just entered Liu Village as Ye Fan and the others came from a small path, immediately greeting them with cupped fists.

“Huang!” Emperor Merciless and Emperor No-Origin nodded in response.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, made “no movement” at all.

It’s not that there was no movement at all, but the moment Shi Hao appeared, his body instantly became incredibly blurred, covered by the fog of time, and even if there were movements, they couldn’t be seen clearly.

However, his voice could still be heard, ancient and thick, powerful.

Shi Hao pondered, this was not the first time such an occurrence had happened, he had an enlightenment, perhaps there was some significant connection between him and the other party.

Generally speaking,

Such a situation only occurs between two identical individuals.

Yet, in his heart, Shi Hao was extremely certain, he was not the other person, otherwise, why would they need to find him?

“Who is this?” Emperor Merciless shifted his gaze slightly, looking towards a rotund, simple and honest-looking fat man standing beside Shi Hao.

Somehow, she felt an inexplicably familiarity towards this fatty.

The one with the most significant reaction was Ye Fan, who immediately let out a light click of doubt.

“Allow me to introduce, this here is my good brother, Cao Yu Sheng!” Shi Hao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yu Sheng quickly cupped his fists towards the three, with a solemn and humble attitude, etiquette in place.

On their way here, Shi Hao had already told him that all three of them were at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Level.

Not to mention the Quasi-Immortal Emperors, even the thought of an Immortal King was unimaginable to him.

“Cao…” Emperor Merciless and Emperor No-Origin exchanged glances, and suddenly, an image surfaced in their minds.

Heavenly Venerable of the Tribulation!

With portraits left behind in the world,

that bore quite a resemblance to the person in front of them.

Besides, there was another person, someone Ye Fan was most familiar with.

Duan De.

They had once speculated that whether it was the Heavenly Venerable of the Tribulation or Duan De, in fact, they might be the reincarnations of a certain individual.

Now, it seemed like the main character might just be here.

“Fellow Daoist Cao.” The three cupped their fists towards Cao Yu Sheng, their demeanor calm.

“Fellow Daoists, what’s happening here in the village? It’s so grand, with lights and decorations everywhere, and there’s even free food and wine…” After a round of name exchange and idle chat, Shi Hao couldn’t help but ask.

“Were you not invited here?” Emperor Merciless asked in surprise.

Shi Hao shook his head.

To put it sadly, he had never been invited before, it was always him who intruded.

Fortunately, he knew of Senior Liu’s personality. Though outwardly cool, he was warm-hearted inside, hence he didn’t feel snubbed at all.

As for his purpose in coming here this time, it was for Cao Yu Sheng, who practiced the Burial Master’s Method, requiring him to bury himself in the Burial Earth. However, the Burial Domain no longer existed, and the group of Burial Priests had moved all the Burial Earth to Liu Village.

Cao Yu Sheng didn’t visit often, and in his heart, Liu Village spanned heaven and earth, deterring all, a mysterious and formidable existence, so overwhelmingly powerful that a mere stomp could make the whole Immortal Domain tremble thrice in fear, this made him apprehensive, and he dared not get too close; after introducing himself, he fell into silence again.

Everyone present was at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Level, a single glance from them could torture his ancestors to death, so as a Lesser Supreme, it was best for him to just listen.

“This is… to tell the truth, we also don’t know the cause, but we can guess some reasons,” Emperor No-Origin said gravely.

Shi Hao and Cao Yu Sheng looked over.

“It’s likely that someone in the village has broken through to the Emperor Realm. A few days ago, we definitely felt fluctuations of the Emperor’s Might!”

“I wonder who broke through.” Shi Hao’s thoughts heated up.

There were many in the village with whom he had good relationships, especially Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen, with whom he shared ties of life-and-death friendship,

The three of them had come all the way from the Lower Realm.

Tu Wa Zi’s talent was barely acceptable; it was already a miracle that he managed to break through to his current Realm. As for Gu Chen…

Shi Hao’s eyes brightened, could it be him who had the breakthrough?

Soon.

Night fell.

In the center of the venue, a bonfire was lit, not burning firewood, but some kind of Divine Skills.

The firelight reflected the joyful faces of the villagers, and dispersed the chill.

They left their seats, one by one, coming to the bonfire, hand in hand they formed a large circle and started singing and dancing. The singing was melodious, the dancing graceful, the atmosphere of celebration reached its climax. Gu Chen was also touched by this joy, joining the dance crowd, laughing and singing with the villagers.
