Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity - Chapter 544

Chapter 544: Chapter 390: You Need to Make a Heavenly Oath_3

By the side of the bluestone, Elder Meng Tian Zheng seemed to be having a good time chatting. From the end of the horizon, two tall figures were strolling towards them.

A man and a woman.

It was Jiang Hui and Willow God.

Upon arriving, they did not hide their presence.

“Lord Willow God!” Upon recognizing the figure in the lead, Old man Lin scampered over. His nimble steps, swift movements, and sharp responses wouldn’t make anyone believe that he was nearing a hundred years old.

Of course, for cultivators, lifespans are incredibly long. Even those who have not Ignited The Divine Fire can easily live for a thousand years. And for Sect Hierarchs, they count their years by the tens of thousands. As for the Invincible Existences, they can even reach hundreds of thousands or millions of years by utilizing longevity substances. So, being a hundred years old is not surprising; it’s merely the first step on the path of cultivation.

Jiang Hui gave a bitter smile. After so many years, Old man Lin hadn’t changed a bit. However, he did not want to dampen Lin’s enthusiasm. It might not matter to him, but for Lin, it was likely his way of expressing his admiration. Therefore, Jiang Hui had been tacitly accepting this for decades.

“Lord Willow God, these people claim to be from Heavenly’s God Academy and have especially come to our village to recruit disciples.” Old man Lin hurriedly reported.

“Hmm, I was already aware of that!” Jiang Hui nodded and gave Lin a glance of approval.

In choosing people, Jiang Hui wouldn’t care about their strength or even their ability. What’s most important is loyalty, unyielding loyalty, deep-seated loyalty. Even if one is clumsy, as long as they are staunchly loyal, he would never treat them unfairly.

Old man Lin perfectly embodied this, exemplifying what is meant by loyalty. It’s one of the indispensible qualities that allowed him to firmly uphold the position of the Head of Liu Village. Plus, Lin’s abilities were quite formidable, so Jiang Hui supported most of his decisions.

“Gentlemen, I am Elder Meng Tian Zheng from the Heavenly God’s Academy!” Seeing the situation, Meng Tian Zheng stepped forward and introduced himself again.

“Since you have come in person, presumably this associate beside you has already communicated my requirements. Have you considered them?” Jiang Hui nodded.

“Of course, I have.”

“I am not opposed to fulfilling your requirements, sir. But before I agree, I hope you can also satisfy a request of mine!” Meng Tian Zheng contemplated for a moment then said.

“Speak.” Jiang Hui said softly. He wasn’t a child who would nod in agreement without even hearing what was to be said.

“Given your status and strength, you must be aware of the reason for the establishment of the Heavenly God’s Academy!”

“It’s nothing more than resisting an invasion from the Alien Territory!”

“Exactly, those Alien Territories are profoundly detestable. Our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were progressing perfectly well, but for some insane reason, they consider us their enemies. Countless bloody wars have been waged, numerous innocent beings have been wasted in these…”

But the power of the Alien Territory is too strong. Now, they have broken through again, and we are in dire straits. So, I hope that once the prodigies of your village have achieved something at the academy, and reached a certain level of competency, they can rush to the battlefield and contribute to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

There might be casualties, which is why we need your agreement and moreover, your divine commitment to this pledge.” Elder Meng Tian Zheng spoke slowly and turned his gaze to Jiang Hui upon finishing.
