Chapter 1160

Willows branches plunged into the immortal qi, drawing it in.

As strands of immortal qi were absorbed, the blackened scorch marks on the Willow God's body gradually vanished, restoring it to a willow tree radiating vast energy, brimming with vitality.

And on its trunk, the once-sparse willow branches now multiplied abundantly.

The willow swayed, its branches rustling softly.

Shi Huang looked at the willow's tremendous transformation and asked, "Willow God, are you well?"

"Almost there!" The Willow God's voice was cheerful. "Once I fully digest this immortal qi, I should return to my peak."

"That Great Luo Immortal truly possesses boundless divine power. This immortal qi is precisely enough—no more, no less—to fully restore me."

Shi Huang was astonished: "Is Taixuan Brother that powerful?"

"He must be an Immortal Emperor. Little Stone, you must show him greater respect," the Willow God instructed. "Enough. I don't need your watch. Go take the Blood Bodhi and begin cultivating."

Shi Huang nodded and turned away.

The Willow God suddenly spoke again: "Since the Shangcheng has Great Luo techniques, pick two. One from the Sea of Suffering system—it was originally your creation, so you must cultivate it and pass it on later; the other, choose whatever suits your nature."

"But…" Shi Huang hesitated, "those points are yours, Willow God."

The Willow God's voice carried amusement: "I'm already content with my recovery. The remaining points are yours."

Shi Huang stood frozen.

After the Willow God spoke for a while, he finally accepted.

"Willow God, I'll buy you a Great Luo technique someday."

"Don't forget," the Willow God chuckled, then focused on absorbing the immortal qi.

Shi Huang walked aside, found a quiet spot, and began selecting from the Shangcheng.

In the end, he chose the Immortal Wu Zhifa.

The Sea of Suffering system cultivates the body; the Immortal Wu Gong cultivates martial ways and magic power—perfectly matching his nature.

Of course, due to point limitations, he bought only techniques before Great Luo.

After completing this, Shi Huang swallowed a Blood Bodhi and began cultivating.

The moment the Blood Bodhi entered his stomach, a vast force surged forth.

But unlike ordinary people, this force did not rush toward his dantian—it surged toward his chest.

There, streams of immortal light rose, emitting subtle divine energy.

"This is the primordial essence replenishing—the Supreme Bone reviving!"

Shi Huang's gaze grew complex; he swallowed two more Blood Bodhis. Even stronger power surged, making the immortal light in his chest blaze brighter.

"This is the primordial essence replenishing itself, the Supreme Bone reviving!"

Suddenly, violent energy slammed against him; he felt unbearable pain in his chest.

It burned, itched, and numbed—as if billions of ants gnawed at his heart.

Though young, his will was strong.

He endured the agony for half a day until the pain vanished.

Now, his chest no longer ached—it radiated an inexplicable aura, nourishing his body and gradually strengthening his once-feeble frame.

He knew this was the perfect moment to cultivate; he immediately activated his technique and opened his Sea of Suffering.

He cultivated both the Sea of Suffering system and the Immortal Wu Gong simultaneously.

As the techniques flowed, he felt the essence of heaven and earth everywhere, rushing in swiftly, cleansing his body.

His muscles, tendons, bones, and blood all strengthened rapidly under the nourishment of heaven and earth's essence.

Undeniably, the Grand World was powerful indeed.

The essence of heaven and earth here was incomparably stronger than in the Middle or Small Worlds; after only a short while of cultivation, he broke through to the Five Elements Perfection realm.

"Little Huang, it's time to eat!"

At that moment, an aged voice called out.

Shi Huang opened his eyes; his gaze had become warm and lustrous, radiating an extraordinary aura—no longer the sickly look of before.

He gently activated his magic power; immortal light flared from his hand and swept aside—immediately, a stone vanished without sound, utterly annihilated.

"Is this the Supreme Bone's divine power?" Shi Huang marveled. "So powerful!"

He stared at the spot where the stone had been for several seconds, then activated his light-foot technique and sprinted toward the village.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I've started cultivating!"

"Cultivating?" the Village Chief exclaimed. "Did the Willow God teach you?"

"No," Shi Huang shook his head. "I bought it from the chat group. Grandpa, starting tomorrow, you all should cultivate with me? With Brother Taixuan's Immortal Emperor scriptures, everyone can achieve eternal life!"

"This…" the Village Chief hesitated. "We old folks have only 5.9 talent. If we cultivate with you, won't we waste precious medicine?"

Shi Huang shook his head: "Brother Taixuan's Immortal Wu Gong doesn't care about talent—even ordinary people can cultivate it."

"Ordinary people too?" the Village Chief was stunned.

Shi Huang nodded. To convince Grandpa Village Chief and implement his plan, he transmitted the technique to him.

Shi Huang shook his head: "Brother Taixuan's Immortal Martial Dao doesn't discriminate by talent—even an ordinary person can cultivate it."

"This technique is truly wondrous—no wonder it was created by an Immortal Emperor," the Village Chief's eyes brimmed with awe. "I've only practiced a little, yet I already feel progress. If I'd cultivated this in my youth, I might have become an immortal myself."

Though he didn't know what an Immortal Emperor truly was.

But since one called oneself Emperor among immortals, he was surely no ordinary being.

"This cultivation method is truly wondrous, worthy of a method created by an Immortal Emperor." The village chief's eyes were full of shock. "I only cultivated it for a bit, and I already felt progress. If I had cultivated this method when I was young,"

"I probably could have become an immortal too."

Although he did not know what kind of expert the Immortal Emperor was,

since he was titled Emperor among immortals, he was naturally no simple figure.

"Xiao Huang, since you have this immortal scripture in hand, follow your plan tomorrow."

"Yes, Village Chief Grandpa."
