Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 537: Chapter 386: Great Elder Meng Tian Zheng_3

“Why are Lao Liu and that girl Huang Li not back yet? It’s worrying!”

Inside a majestic palace.

A white-haired elder paced back and forth, his expression extremely anxious. The entire face seemed to have wrinkled into a ball. The old man’s appearance was rather unkempt, and his robe looked as if it hadn’t been washed in a long time, with much of it visibly caked with mud.

“What’s the fuss? Everyone knows that Liu Village is almost hidden from the world. Can they just walk in without showing their sincerity?”

This was Elder Meng Tian Zheng, the Great Elder of the Heavenly God Academy, who was regarded as the one most likely to become a True Immortal.

He was tall and thin, with a large skeletal structure and somewhat sunken cheeks. His complexion was slightly pale, chiseled like jade. At first glance, he appeared like an ordinary old man with nothing special about him. However, if one carefully stared into his eyes, they would find something different, sharp as lightning, with a vast array of runes flickering, as if he were re-enacting the evolution of Heaven and Earth.

This was a magnificent ability that could only be exhibited when his realm reached an extreme.

“We wait three more days. In three days, the Heavenly God Academy will officially recruit disciples!”

Meng Tian Zheng’s mouth twitched slightly, he spoke leisurely. His voice wasn’t loud, but exceptionally resounding, carrying an indescribable dignity.

But just as his voice fell.

In the palace, a ripple-like disturbance appeared in the air, and the silhouette of an elder in a grey robe walked out from it.

“So, has Liu Village agreed?” Meng Tian Zheng asked.

He knew about Liu Village.

Though he had been in seclusion for some time, he had heard of the renown of that group of prodigies slaying the Banished Immortal, such that even the Six Crown King Ning Chuan, a rare monster king from ancient times, could not hold his head high. If they could join the Academy, they would definitely become the pillars of the future. Hence, the Academy had made an exception to send an elder to visit them in person.

The elder had returned, surely the outcome should be rather good.

The elder in grey robed chuckled wryly and repeated every word Jiang Hui had said to him verbatim.

“Liu Village is outrageous! From where do they derive the audacity to threaten our Heavenly God Academy!” Some elders were immediately incensed and started cursing.

Only Meng Tian Zheng’s expression was slightly mysterious, and he did not respond immediately.

“Did he really say that?”

“Not a word has been left out. I even mimicked his demeanor!” The elder in grey robe replied.

“Great Elder, frankly, we shouldn’t bother with such conceited individuals. Relying on their few people, they dare to violate our long-standing tradition. If we really allow them to join, I fear there will be troublesome matters in the future.”

The Third elder of Heavenly God Academy said in an indignant voice.

Meng Tian Zheng sighed but did not immediately respond.

He had personally visited the Frontier Wilderness recently. He was the one who knew best that the place wouldn’t last long. When the time came, the Emperor Gate would be plunged into calamity.

In such a situation, ordinary beings with common strength simply could not do anything and would just march to their deaths. Only the true prodigies, had the potential to turn the tide, which is why he had made exceptions.

Those prodigies from Liu Village, both in quantity and quality, were worth making concessions for.

But they had indeed far overstepped the bounds!
