Descending upon Stone Village, Meeting Little Dot
The Immortal Alliance was hidden in the void above the nine heavens, while Qin Feng, accompanied by several goddesses who could not contain their curiosity, silently descended upon this desolate and ancient land.
They concealed all their divine light and Daoist aura, even hiding their aura that was enough to crush eternity.
From their appearances, Qin Feng was a refined and elegant young master, while Nuwa, Queen Mother of the West, Sanxiao, and others looked like stunningly beautiful family members accompanying him on his travels. The group seemed like mortals who had mistakenly wandered into this place.
However, their level of existence was far too high.
They were so powerful that even if they did nothing but "exist" there, the laws of this world would spontaneously "pay homage" to them.
The Great Wilderness, which had been filled with the roars of ferocious beasts and the cries of raptors just moments before, fell into an eerie silence the instant they set foot there.
All the running giants suddenly collapsed, their limbs giving way. All the soaring birds of prey froze, their wings stiffening, and they fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
It is not fear, but a surrender that originates from the Life Origin.
It's as if God walks only in His own garden, and all the flowers, trees, and shrubs must silently pay homage.
This sudden, absolute silence instantly alarmed the guardians of Stone Village.
At the village entrance, the enormous willow tree, its entire body charred black, suddenly trembled.
All the charred branches, without a breath of wind, began to sway wildly, emitting a hazy green light, entering the highest level of alert.
A Spiritual Sense age and vigilance swept across the entire Great Wilderness in an instant.
No enemies were detected, no killing intent was detected, and no energy fluctuations were detected.
But it was precisely this "absence" that made Willow God feel an unprecedented sense of dread.
It had never seen such a sight before; it was more terrifying than the oppressive aura of any Immortal King.
Just as Willow God was on high alert, Qin Feng and his group had already leisurely walked to the village entrance.
"This place is so primitive!" Bixiao blinked her big eyes, curiously looking at the simple houses built of huge stones, feeling that everything was full of novelty.
Just then, a tiny, chubby-faced, and filthy Little Dot came running out of the village.
He looked only three or four years old, wearing a fur-lined jacket and covered in mud, but his big, bright eyes were strikingly clear.
The Little Dot ran up to the group of incredibly beautiful strangers, not at all shy. Tilting his head back, he used all his strength to ask in a loud, childish voice, "Who are you? Are you here to deliver animal milk?"
"Puff..."
Bixiao, the most lively of them all, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qiong Xiao and Xi He also covered their mouths and chuckled softly, their shoulders shrugging.
They simply couldn't reconcile these "uninvited guests," who were enough to silence the laws of the entire world, with a baby who came to ask for milk.
The contrast is just too great.
Nuwa, with the kindest heart of all, her eyes filled with maternal love, slowly knelt down, looked tenderly at the Little Dot, and said softly, "Little one, we don't have any animal milk."
Upon hearing Little Dot, the little one's big eyes immediately filled with visible disappointment.
Nuwa's heart almost melted at the sight. With a flick of her hand, a crystal-clear red fruit, seemingly containing stars, appeared in her palm.
It was the Vermillion Fruit, a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root in the Primordial World.
An indescribable fragrance instantly filled the air, and the Little Dot's mouth watered uncontrollably after just one sniff.
"But I have this." Nuwa handed the Vermillion Fruit to the Little Dot, coaxing him with a smile, "This tastes better than beast milk, and it's very filling."
The Little Dot's eyes widened instantly, staring intently at the Vermillion Fruit. He snatched it away, not even bothering to wipe it clean, and took a big bite with his tiny mouth.
A surge of vital energy instantly spread within his body, making him squint his eyes in comfort and let out a satisfied groan.
Qin Feng ignored this heartwarming scene.
From the very beginning, his gaze was fixed on the charred willow tree at the entrance of the village.
While the goddesses were teasing the Little Dot, he had already walked with his hands behind his back, step by step, straight to the willow tree.
He didn't speak or release any breath; he simply raised his head and calmly looked at the willow branch that was the only one that survived among all the charred branches, radiating a tender green glow.
That look didn't seem like he was looking at a wary and powerful enemy, but rather at a seasoned old friend.
Willow God's entire attention was focused on this man.
At this moment, it felt as if it were facing not a living being, but a void deeper than the Chaos Sea and more ancient than the Great Dao.
An ancient, profound, and unprecedentedly solemn and awe-inspiring Spiritual Sense resounded in Qin Feng's mind.
"Who exactly are you, sir?"
That Spiritual Sense was filled with incomprehensible confusion.
"I have witnessed Immortal King shed blood, confronted Immortals, and even sensed the aura of those above Immortal Emperors... But you... the Dao aura within you is more ancient and more ultimate than all of that... It's as if... it's as if you are the very source of the Dao itself!"
Faced with this astonishing evaluation, Qin Feng's expression remained unchanged.
He simply gazed at the willow branch swaying in the wind, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Just a passerby."
His voice was soft, yet it clearly penetrated the core of Willow God's will.
Then, his gaze swept over the gruesome scars left on the willow tree by lightning, and he slowly asked, "You're not feeling well, do you need any help?"
