402: Willow, Come Again

[At the same time, because of this, it can also bear the power of an 18th Rank Cultivator, allowing you to use it without worrying about it sustaining any damage.]

[This proves nothing less than the miraculous nature of the willow leaf.]

[But that is all.]

[Because apart from this, you have not discovered anything special about it.]

["Not right!"]

[Suddenly, a flash of brilliance crossed your eyes.]

[Because when you absorbed the energy of the willow leaf previously, you truly felt that it could help you break through the limit of the 18th Rank.]

[Although the extent of this Breakthrough was small, that was simply because the world Rank of the Human Domain was too low.]

[What kind of existences are the Earth Domain and the Ming Domain?]

[Their Domain Lords are all 18th Rank Cultivators.]

[Yet the Human Domain is merely a lowest-level domain.]

[Between it and the Earth Domain and Ming Domain, there is a difference of at least seven Ranks!]

["Looking at it this way, if I raise the Rank of the Human Domain, perhaps it will bring me unimaginable benefits."]

[You nodded thoughtfully.]

[However, you did not immediately form a contract with the Human Domain; instead, you collected divine essence and heaven essence in the surrounding domains.]

[Year 269,000.]

[After collecting a large amount of divine essence and heaven essence, you rushed to the Desolate Domain.]

[At this time, Ye Kai had already been waiting for a long time.]

["Fellow Daoist Su, you have finally arrived."]

[You cupped your hands slightly, and then waited here together with Ye Kai.]

[Year 270,000.]

[Huang Ming was born.]

[The familiar phenomenon appeared once again.]

[And this time, you did not hesitate in the slightest; you and Ye Kai rushed directly into it, crazily absorbing the purple Qi created when Huang Ming was born.]

[When the purple Qi dissipated, both of you had completed your Breakthroughs one after another, each reaching the Middle Stage of the 18th Rank.]

["This Opportunity is truly excellent."]

["Fellow Daoist Su, what other Opportunities do you know of?"]

[Ye Kai's expression was extremely excited.]

[However, you did not take him to continue searching for Opportunities, but slowly said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, the Opportunity before us is quite good."]

["See if you can rewind time by a few hours; can we absorb this purple Qi once more?"]

["This..."]

[Hearing this, Ye Kai was speechless for a moment.]

[He told you that although he could rewind time, there would be resistance to things that had already been absorbed.]

[Things that had already been harvested would not appear again.]

[But to verify his statement, he still performed a time rewind for you.]

[Your vision blurred for a moment, and you quickly arrived a few hours earlier.]

[Huang Ming was born once again.]

[And although there was still plenty of purple Qi this time, after you absorbed it, you did not make any progress.]

[This made you feel somewhat disappointed.]

[Looking at it this way, the gap between Ye Kai's time rewind System and your simulator is not just a little bit.]

[Afterwards, before the Guiding Divine Light appeared, you had Ye Kai rewind to 150,000 years ago.]

[You gave Ye Kai the spatial coordinates of the Human Domain and asked him to collect more divine essence and heaven essence for you on the way to the Human Domain.]

[As your vision blurred, you arrived at the time node where you were still torturing Ming Cang.]

[You ended your torture of him, and amidst his puzzled gaze, you vanished instantly and began to rush toward the Human Domain.]

[Along the way, you collected quite a bit more divine essence and heaven essence.]

[When you returned to the Human Domain, the amount of divine essence and heaven essence you carried had reached a terrifying quantity.]

[You merged the Human Domain into one and completed the contract with it.]

[You integrated all the divine essence and heaven essence you had harvested into the Human Domain.]

[In an instant, the Human Domain underwent earth-shaking changes.]

[The strength of all living beings here was constantly improving, and various spiritual mountains and great marshes appeared out of thin air, quickly filling up all the empty spaces in the Human Domain.]

[And after the Human Domain changed, you also couldn't wait to start searching here.]

[Your original mood was somewhat apprehensive.]

[Because Ye Kai's time rewind would cause things that had been obtained in the past to disappear.]

[But fortunately, you finally found the four Willow Branches in the Human Domain.]

[However, on each of them, a willow leaf was conspicuously missing.]

[You took out the willow leaves and fitted them together seamlessly with the Willow Branches.]

[And at that very moment, a ray of green light emerged from each of the four Willow Branches, pouring into your body.]

[You immediately felt a sense of comfort in your body and mind, and even your cultivation had improved quite a bit.]

[Although you had not yet reached the Late Stage of the 18th Rank at this moment, you were not far off.]

[You began to wait for Ye Kai's arrival while plundering divine essence and heaven essence.]

[Year 270,000.]

[Ye Kai hurried over.]

[On this trip, he had collected dozens of divine essences for you.]

[And with your previous accumulation, you successfully raised the world Rank of the Human Domain once again.]

[The Human Domain underwent massive changes once again.]

[And the Willow Branches in your hands also grew much longer, once again providing you with four slightly faint green lights.]

[You successfully reached the Late Stage of the 18th Rank.]

[Year 300,000.]

[After making preparations, you and Ye Kai rode the Guiding Divine Light and stepped directly into the mysterious world.]

[Upon arriving here, you began to inquire about the specific information of everyone.]

[Although the crowd was a bit confused, most of them still told you.]

[A moment later, Heavenly Slaves appeared.]

[You tried to rely on your own strength to clash head-on with the Heavenly Slaves.]

[And this time, the majority of them were conspicuously no longer your match.]

[You relied on your own strength to barely hold them back, and let the others flee in all directions.]

["Damn it! Who exactly are you?! Why do you possess such powerful strength?!"]

["Quick, quickly notify the Envoy!"]

["..."]

[The group of Heavenly Slaves roared repeatedly, but you ignored them and trapped them all in place.]

[A moment later.]

[Upon realizing that everyone had disappeared without a trace, you activated Celestial Travel and left this place.]

[Your figure flickered repeatedly, and you quickly arrived at the mountain peak discovered in the last simulation.]

[At this time, it was the same as before, but your current strength was no longer what it used to be.]

[You swung the four Willow Branches.]

[They were like four sharp blades, directly pinning those few Heavenly Slaves to the wall!]

["What is happening? How did you come here?!"]

[The few Heavenly Slaves were terrified.]

[They struggled desperately, but they could not break free from the Willow Branches at all!]

[You sneered and stepped forward, wanting to search them.]

[But you suddenly thought of that sky-covering face behind them.]
