Chapter 1730 - Preparations
"We are going home!" Shi Ziling nodded his head heavily. His chest felt extremely sore as he looked at his oldest son, finding it hard to calm down.
His oldest son had heaven warping talent, known as this great era's youngest and most powerful Self Release Realm cultivator, breaking the records, establishing a legend, yet in the end, he had this type of ending.
In the eyes of the husband and wife pair, their oldest son was too miserable. Originally, he could have altered history, becoming an unmatched existence who overlooked the world, high up above, yet he was crippled by another. This was too cruel.
"We're going home, going back! We aren't coming back ever again!" Qin Yining wept.
Even though in past few days, Shi Hao's reputation was spread around the outside world, sweeping through many sects in succession, crushing all sides until they had to lower their heads, not willing to step out, Qin Yining still felt sorrow, feeling bitter. It was because she knew that this was her eldest son's final brilliance and glory. A month's time would quickly pass!
"Big brother, I will be awaiting your return in the three thousand provinces!" Qin Hao said.
In the back, Immortal Qin released a sigh. With his cultivation severed, dao crippled, soon afterwards, Shi Hao would be just like an ordinary person. This was eternal, never able to cultivate again. How was he supposed to return?
"We will come back, we definitely will. We will get revenge for big brother!"
There were several hundred kids, right now shouting out, clenching their fists, wiping the tears from their eyes.
These were the youngsters Shi Hao brought back from Desolate Border, boys and girls included. Most of them were still under their teenage years, the youngest only knew how to wail. Their eyes were all red, feeling extremely sad.
At the same time, they also resolved themselves to get stronger, get revenge for Shi Hao, kill that ruined immortal.
"I wonder after all these years have passed, what the eight regions are like now." Shi Hao said quietly.
Last time, even though he went into the Void God Realm, his trip was too hurried, not even having any time to understand the lower realms in detail when those behind him cut him off, wishing to seal him to death, so he had no choice but to hurriedly leave.
Shi Hao looked towards Immortal Qin, wishing to learn about the lower realms from him, what was going on.
It was because he knew that there were some great sects in the three thousand provinces who had special methods, able to communicate with the lower realms, receive information.
Immortal Qin shook his head, his smile a bit bitter, saying, "Things are different now, there is no way to fight the will of heaven, no one can be sent down at all."
He muttered to himself, after thinking to himself for a bit, he said, "Follow me."
In the depths of Qin Clan, before an ancient mountain, there was a region surging with primal chaos. This place was extremely hazy, and also extremely mysterious.
This was a region of unstable space, extremely chaotic.
"This is a unique spatial node I found. If it was in a normal age, magic force could be sent into the lower realms through here, but now, it is too difficult, impossible to do." Immortal Qin said.
Shi Hao was deeply shocked. It was as if there was a crystal wall here, full of cracks. When one looked carefully, it was as if one could pry into the world behind it.
"Magical force projection?" he asked.
"Correct. In the past, a magical force projection could be sent down into the lower realms, but now, it is no longer possible." Immortal Qin said.
Shi Hao examined it. This was a spatial node as expected, not all that stable, but it couldn't be penetrated.
"If it is forcefully attacked, there will be a great backlash. The will of heaven will be like a blade, cutting through the primordial soul, extremely terrifying!" Immortal Qin said.
Something was wrong with this age, one could no longer do as they wished like before.
Shi Hao nodded. This was something he was aware of before. Now, there was already no way of challenging the heaven's will, couldn't defy the great realm's natural laws to enter the lower realms' eight regions, or else one would face the punishment of mysterious laws.
Otherwise, the so called seven deities entering the lower realms wouldn't have been so difficult.
Shi Hao nodded. Even someone like Immortal Qin couldn't communicate with the lower realms, this was a good thing, proving that it was difficult for the higher realms to interfere with the lower realms' eight regions.
Soon afterwards, Qin Clan's storeroom was completely opened, sparkling and resplendent, light flowing about, divine brilliance rushing into the heavens.
These were all gifted by the cultivators of different sects, piles of heavenly treasures with divine weapons, exceptional divine bones, formation banners and cores, even more so rare precious medicines and other things.
Forget about other people, even Shi Hao's eyes were momentarily distracted. "There's this much?"
They were going to leave soon, so he began to stow away everything. He was going to bring everything into the lower realms.
"You were the one who demanded for ten times the repayment, could it be that even you didn't expect this result?" Immortal Qin said with a smile.
"Haha, alright then!" Shi Hao also laughed.
Recently, he didn't panic, nor did he feel worry, his mood always like this, just like the past. This type of mental toughness also left others rather speechless.
It was because others all felt sorry for him, feeling regret, yet he himself didn't sink into dejection.
Chest after chest of divine materials were moved, enough to build several great sects, this was Shi Hao's recent harvest. It truly was shocking.
In reality, there were far more things than these, there were some that were medicinal fields, collected into spatial magical artifacts.
For example, the golden lion himself had a few special magical artifacts, specifically for storing those divine medicinal herb fields.
It could be said that when Shi Hao was dealing with some sects, he really completely uprooted them, even wiping out their medicinal fields' earth, wrapping all together as takeout, extremely thorough.
"Let's go."
Shi Hao sighed. He brought everything onto a giant boat. The hundreds of children were already standing on it, their small faces excited.
Their faces had tears, but also smiles. They were heading to a brand new world. They wanted to rise up there, cultivate powerful divine abilities, and then return in the future to get revenge for their big brother.
"Are you really going to come?" Shi Hao looked at a purple-clothed young lady, precisely Yun Xi.
She was slender and elegant. When her clothes fluttered about, purple energy rose in spirals, making her look like an aloof goddess.
It had to be said that Yun Xi really was extremely beautiful, worthy of being Celestial Clan's most dazzling pearl. Her beautiful hair was glossy and smooth, skin sparkling white, oval face filled with unswerving determination. A pair of black crystal-like eyes carried a bit of blurriness. She forcefully nodded, insisting on following him into the lower realms.
"Child, come here." Qin Yining said. Even though she was full of emotions, right now, she revealed a smile, pulling Yun Xi, really treating her like a daughter she was fond of, that type of expression really leaving Celestial Clan's young lady feeling extremely embarrassed.
Shi Hao turned around, looking towards the golden lion, his eyes flickering endlessly, revealing a complicated expression.
"You… what are you trying to do?" This lion was extremely sharp, sensing a bit of danger, inadvertently backing up. All of the golden fur on its body stood on end.
During these past few days, it was full of excitement and happiness, because Huang was crippled. In its eyes, the time had come, perhaps it could break free!
One month's time, for a pure-blooded Fearless Lion, was extremely short. It could quietly wait, patiently stick it through.
When that time came, he could properly settle things with Huang!
"You're quite excited, waiting for me to become crippled, right?" Shi Hao asked.
"What? No way. Why are you thinking like that? We are locusts on the same thread right now, your shame is my shame, your glory is my glory, all benefits mutual!" The golden lion spoke righteously, loudly shouting out.
"I feel like this isn't your true intent. Are you waiting to kill me when we head down into the lower realms?" Shi Hao looked at it.
When these words sounded, many people's expressions changed, including Shi Ziling, Yun Xi, and the others', because there was a high chance of this happening. Previously, they really overlooked this, almost forgetting about a great disaster.
"I feel like we might as well enjoy a lion meat stew while we can before we set out." Shi Hao said.
Qiang!
Qin Hao was extremely direct, holding a silver spear in hand, directly pressing it against the space between the lion's brows, wishing to take action in his older brother's place.
The golden lion's eyes contracted, fine hairs standing on end. It was extremely nervous, not because of Qin Hao's hostility, but rather towards Huang's decision.
"Huang, you cannot do things like this! I've traveled together with you for so long without any intention of harming you, instead helping you fight many times!" It wouldn't admit it even if it died.
"It seems like after you followed me for some time, I don't really want to kill you anymore. However, bringing you down with me like this is too dangerous, you might become a possible source of danger." Shi Hao said.
When everyone heard this, they all inwardly sighed. It seemed like Huang really was going to be crippled, there was no miracle that could happen. He wasn't pretending, or else why would he say this.
"There's no issue, I have a divine artifact here that can solve that issue." Immortal Qin said.
He loosened his hand, inside of it an old fashioned scroll. When it was opened, magical force surged, natural laws interweaving, carrying wisps of golden mist.

Chapter 1731 - Stepping On the Path of Return
"What is this?" Shi Hao asked.
"A master and servant agreement, an ancient article from the last great era, likely something written by a great figure. It's something I discovered from historical ruins." Immortal Qin said.
The golden lion's face immediately changed, couldn't help but back up. The harm this thing could inflict him with was just too great, because it had previously heard that once this agreement was signed, then one would completely become a slave.
Shi Hao received it and looked it over. After learning its use, he directly activated it, not showing a hint of hesitation. In that instant, divine light erupted, surrounding him and the golden lion within, shining with incomparable brilliance.
"Ah…" The golden lion screamed, continuously roaring out, struggling intensely. However, it was completely useless.
When everything calmed down, Shi Hao carefully experienced the results. He nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
The golden lion released a low roar, utterly furious. This agreement was too unfair. Once Shi Hao became sick, if he died, it would also die.
Meanwhile, if something happened to it, it wouldn't affect Huang at all.
There were many restrictions applied to it through the agreement, stating that it had to obey Huang, or else it would suffer a great disaster.
"Instead of saying that this is an agreement, it is better to say that it is a decree left by an immortal dao great one in the past, engraving the most powerful natural laws that cannot be defied." Immortal Qin said.
For cultivators at the Mortal Dao Domain, once this agreement was successfully activated, it was impossible to resist.
Even though the golden lion was furious, it still couldn't do anything. In the end, it hung its head in dejection, following behind Shi Hao.
"Since you aren't willing to follow me, why don't you just stay behind in the three thousand provinces, I won't restrict you." Shi Hao said.
"I refuse!" The golden lion refused. It was because right now, it really was bound to Huang. If Huang died in the lower realms, then it would also die. That was why it wanted to stay by his side, ensure that he continued living.
Apart from this, if it stayed behind in the higher realms, it would definitely be detested by all, beaten and abused by everyone. The first reason was because it came from the other side, the second was because Shi Hao had established too many grudges, recently oppressing many sects. Once he left, all of them would immediately retaliate!
The golden lion didn't want to become a living target, face everyone's attacks. In the end, it still felt like it had to follow at Shi Hao's side.
At the same time, it also felt that this human was quite special. If there really was a turn for the better in the future, it wasn't entirely impossible for his cultivation to be restored.
In that short instant, it made its decision.
In the end, the warship moved through the sky, carrying a powerful divine dao aura, carrying a mountain of heavenly treasures, as well as those children and his parents, leaving into the distance.
Immortal Qin and Qin Hao saw them out along the way.
The golden lion rolled its eyes, strongly disliking Immortal Qin.
In the end, Immortal Qin basically gave Shi Hao a great gift. That decree basically brought him a powerful and reliable helper.
This was especially the case under his current troublesome situation. With someone like the golden lion, it seemed much more precious.
Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, this place was just that bleak.
This was a past life restricted region, but now, it was instead so quiet.
They arrived. The warship entered the ancient land.
Today, it was no longer that quiet, because after news went out, many people knew that Huang was going to leave, return to the lower realms.
When the various sects learned of this, they all went on their way. It could be considered as all sides moving out!
A few people rushed over, following them here.
SHi Hao didn't hide anything, nor did he need to. Even though this ancient path existed in this world, not just anyone could go through.
At the very least, not even the golden lion with its heaven-defying bloodline could.
Even he himself had to endure a life and death trial, and only then could he withstand that gate's law power.
Right now, only he could take this path!
"This is a life restricted region?" Even Immortal Qin sighed with regret.
Even the most powerful inheritance had the day when it declined. This place was a life restricted region, an unmatched figure residing within it! In the past, even when the other side invaded, they could still remain intact on their own, unaffected by the turmoil of the outside world.
The so-called restricted regions couldn't be stepped into, all other life forms had to stay away. It represented an extreme dao that couldn't be touched.
Yet now, this place was covered in ashes, all of the mountains ruined, unknown just what kind of battle occurred here to cause the complete destruction of a life restricted region.
"These ashes were all left behind after gods and devils were burned down!" Shi Hao explained.
Right now, not only did Immortal Qin's face change, even the faces of other sects' cultivators who followed from the distance paled, shivering with fear.
Ashes covered the ground. Even after millions and millions of years passed, it still wasn't scattered by wind or rain, still remaining here.
Moreover, golden bones, purple fingernails, black teeth, and other things could occasionally be made out from the ashes, all of them bone material that hadn't been burned down.
This made everyone feel more and more alarmed!
The remains that were here, did they belong to the restricted region's experts, or did they belong to outsides?
Shi Hao stood there, moreover starting to derive a great method, releasing yin and yang energies, displaying the greatest power.
In that instant, not only did two streams appear on the ground, one yin one yang, in the end, irregular scenes appeared in the sky as well.
The void split apart. A great black river overflowed, a great golden river shone with incomparable brilliance, surging and roaring, moreover intersecting.
By the great river, there were ruined structures and other things.
They really were life restricted region remains!
Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air when they saw this. It was real after all, this was a place where 'taboo existences' had lived.
Shi Hao personally controlled the warship, heading into the sky, closing in on the great yin and great yang rivers.
"Father, mother!"
At the crucial moment, Qin Hao rushed over, tears continuously falling from his eyes, true emotions revealed, hugging his parents while sobbing. Then, he hugged Shi Hao.
"My child, are you really not going to follow us?" Qin Yining also cried, not willing to part with her second son.
"I won't leave, I wish to become strong here. I will rise up! Even if you all cannot return, I will come to pick you two up!" Qin Hao vowed.
In the end, he wiped away his tears, flying off the warship.
On the ground, many people were looking up. Many great sects came to see this scene when they heard what happened.
"Huang is truly pitiful, having his cultivation destroyed, meeting this end. Can this be considered running away into the lower realms in defeat?"
"Sigh, choosing to banish himself, forced to this extent by a ruined immortal. He previously established such glorious battle accomplishments in Desolate Border, yet his end is so miserable."
A few people said softly, not daring to speak too loudly out of fear of angering powers like Immortal Palace.
Of course, there were some who remained extremely cold, for example, Heavenly Country, Underworld Earth, Immortal Palace, and others. They looked forward to Shi Hao being crippled, leaving like this is also fine.
It was because in the recent few days, the trouble he stirred up really was too great.
Shi Hao stood at the bow of the ship, controlling the warship, sending it into the void, entering those ruins. He arrived before the roiling rivers. In the end, he turned around, gave those people one last look. Then, with a swing of his sleeves, he collected the warship, only him remaining, towering in the heavens!
Honglong!
Yin and yang energies erupted. Where the two rivers intersected, a gate appeared. Meanwhile, Shi Hao already rushed inside, standing inside the gate!
"He's going, leaving like this!"
From today forth, this world would no longer have a Huang.
Some people sighed.
There were many others who just silently watched the scene in the life restricted region ruins' void.

Chapter 1732 - Return to the Eight Regions
Huang went inside, disappeared behind that dao gate just like that!
It was extremely noisy on the ground, everyone discussing amongst themselves, extremely chaotic.
There really was an ancient path! Everyone was shocked, also in doubt. At the final moments, Huang was still so heaven-defying, finding a mysterious path.
There were people who released blazing radiance from their eyes, staring at the great rivers in the sky, at that gate. Even now, it still didn't close.
The Great Yin River surged, black mist raging, as if it was a path into a realm of devils. The Great Yang River overflowed, golden yang essence erupting, dazzling and holy, burning the skies until the heavens itself were going to melt.
"I previously heard that the lower realms' eight regions are extremely mysterious, many of the Vicious Ten previously entering and leaving that place, that it contains tremendous secrets!"
"Correct, there have always been rumors that the eight regions hide heaven shocking things."
There were some whose eyes began to burn with desire, staring at that gate.
"This chance is rare. Is there anyone who wishes to take this path and take a look around the lower realms?!" Suddenly, someone said quietly.
There were many people who became restless. They thought about some rumors, wishing to use this chance to enter the lower realms. It was because they suspected that the reason why Huang wanted to go down from the Nine Heavens, in a hurry to return to the lower realms, was precisely because he had some objective.
Otherwise, that place was so desolate. With his heaven warping talent, why would he confine himself?
In their opinion, the reason why Huang was able to rise up, obtain his current accomplishments, was likely because he obtained something in the lower realms, that this place had extremely terrifying secrets.
Of course, this was only what some people suspected, which was why they wanted to take the risk and enter the lower realms.
Meanwhile, when some great sects' higher levels had these thoughts, things became even simpler. They directly brought out some disciples that were loyal to their sect, had them go through.
Regardless of whether they obtained anything, there shouldn't be any harm to the sect if they made a trip through the lower realms.
In the end, a group of youngsters and some older generation big names rushed into the sky. They left their fears behind, rushing towards the point where great yin and great yang intersected. There was primal chaos here, as well as a gate, faintly discernible, still hasn't disappeared.
Ah…
However, when a miserable scream sounded, everyone's hearts were immediately stirred.
Then, everyone felt chills run down their entire body, a wave of biting coldness made everyone's expressions change, becoming completely horrified.
Some people's faces became pale white. When they saw the scene ahead, they couldn't help but scream out.
Just now, a group of people tried to outdo each other, scared that they might be left behind, rushing forward as fast as they could. As a result, several dozen rushed in at the same time.
However, only one person released a miserable scream, the others didn't even have the chance to utter a groan before they died.
Everyone saw that after those people entered, their bodies directly exploded, turning into bloody mist, not even bones remaining, body and spirit eradicated.
This wasn't one or two people, but rather an entire group. Several dozen experts died miserably, only some bloody mist left. They were completely destroyed.
Behind them were over a hundred people, all of them scared to the point where they were shuddering, coming to a rigid halt. Then, they quickly backed up, this scene was too terrifying, leaving them with great fear.
"Why is it like this?" A few people cried out, full of confusion.
Not long ago, everyone saw Huang calmly walk through, leaving in such an easygoing manner, no emotions revealed at all. Yet when it was them who did the same, a group of people were wiped out!
Chi!
On the ground, a sect master activated a magical artifact, wishing to test just how terrifying that gate was.
Kacha!
Sure enough, his magical artifact broke apart the moment it flew inside, crushed into powder. A powerful precious artifact was destroyed just like that.
This place was completely silent. This time, everyone felt fear, uneasiness, all of them couldn't help but back up.
As for the skies, those who were about to rush inside were shaking, their faces white as snow. They all turned around and ran. This was too terrifying.
For them, that gate seemed to lead straight into hell, about to devour their souls. It wasn't something they could approach!
There were some who didn't believe in the supernatural, using all types of methods, but they all failed.
This time, they all became quiet. Just how powerful was Huang exactly? Just now, under everyone's eyes, he calmly entered, not affected in the slightest.
In the end, when it was their turn, all who rashly went in died miserably!
This type of difference was too great!
Under rumbling sounds, the two rivers surged. The primal chaos mist disappeared, that gate also completely vanishing.
That wasn't all. The two rivers and the ruins also became indistinct, in the end vanishing.
Forget about entering the gate, even making them appear wasn't something they could do.
Everyone understood. They had no fate with this path, unable to go through at all. It belonged only to Huang, only he could face that devastating power without any fear.
In reality, several days later, Immortal Palace's elder came. He was a supreme being as well, so in the end, he was finally able to make the Great Yin and Great Yang Rivers appear, the gate also emerging. Only, it was extremely blurry, not all that clear. He stood there for a long time, not entering.
When news of this got out, everyone knew that as expected, only Huang could take that path. Even Immortal Palace's elder felt hesitation, fear visible in his eyes.
That path targeted the power of the challenger, only those with strength far exceeding their cultivation realm could go through.
In reality, after Shi Hao entered the path, it wasn't as relaxed as everyone thought. However, he had entered once before, had some experience, which was why he could remain unflustered.
Even this time, it was extremely strenuous, walking forward step by step.
In the end, after just walking a set distance, blood flowed out from the corners of his lips.
Several dozen li later, that path was still extremely long, no end in sight.
The stone steps winded in the void, unknown where the path headed. Was the destination really the lower realms?
In the surroundings, everything was hazy, primal chaos surging. Roars could vaguely be made out, as if ancient beasts were roaring out.
Shi Hao listened carefully. This wasn't a true ancient beast, but rather rumbling sounds produced by the clash of different laws, some natural laws interweaving in the distance.
His expression went sluggish, because the natural law force, for the current him, was incomprehensible. There was no way he would take the risk, he couldn't leave this path.
As he continued forward, he saw more and more natural laws and order in the form of murderous red metal strips, interweaving in the void, extremely dazzling.
Shi Hao advanced carefully, feeling more and more like this path was special. The stone steps below his feet were extremely real, not formed from natural laws, there really was someone who paved this path.
He had a feeling of deja vu!
In the past, when he left Immortal Domain with Sanzang and Shenming, these two undead knights, looking for the path back, they somehow ended up in a Lightning Abyss, in that place was a small cobblestone path arranged in the void.
"Eight regions, a savage and bitter land, is it really a prison?" Shi Hao wiped away the blood from the corners of his lips. The pressure was now extremely great, injuring him. However, he was still thinking to himself, all types of thoughts running through his head.
Along the way, Shi Hao almost lost track of time, continuing down the path just like that.
This path led downwards, as if it really did go from the heaven's dome down to the earth surface.
One day, two days, maybe three days passed, Shi Hao couldn't say for sure.
On this path, his perception seemed to have lost effectiveness, time overlaying, space-time displaced. Everything was just this hard to differentiate, extremely strange.
Shi Hao's body suffered damage. There was always a type of terrifying power here hacking at Shi Hao, suppressing him. If it was anyone else, they would have long exploded to pieces.
Shi Hao continued to persist on. Even though he coughed out blood, he still stood tall, not falling, advancing step by step.
There was a mysterious domain here that crushed against one's body, making one feel as if they were going to burst.
Shi Hao couldn't increase his speed even if he wanted to. Whenever he raised his feet, he would always be smashed by great stars one after another, the resistance tremendous.
Hong!
Finally, he saw a glimmer of hope. It was because after who knew how many li he had passed, how many days went by, he saw the end of the stone steps. He reached the earth.
Cough!
Shi Hao coughed out. He finally left this ancient path.
In that instant, a wave of desolate air swept over, the feeling a bit familiar. This should be the eight regions, the lower realms he had previously lived in.
"Yi, something's not right, there are other things!"
It was because in that instant, Shi Hao's heart began to tremble, in a bit of disbelief. He smelled a fragrance that penetrated deep into his mind, as if he was going to ascend in multicolored ascension light.
This was definitely not an ordinary great medicine. Even divine medicines were no longer that enticing for the current Self Release Realm Shi Hao, which meant that there was only one other answer: this was a long life medicine.
Shi Hao was stunned. Why would the lower realms have this type of medicine? One had to understand that in the past, raising this type of divine medicine was impossible, the spiritual essence ridiculously thin.
"But this type of fragrance, this type of medicinal effects, it can only belong to a long life medicine!"
Shi Hao was shaken. He had just returned to the lower realms, yet he already encountered this stalk of long life medicine, descended in that region?
At the limits of the road, it was extremely spacious, a great desert lacking life force. For this type of place to have medicinal fragrance really was something different.
It was at times rich, at times faint. This type of medicinal fragrance continuously changed, but it was deep and continuous.
Shi Hao quickened his pace, walking forward, crossing this great desert.
En?
Sure enough, after just crossing some hills, he saw some of the scenery ahead.
In the desert, there was a medicinal garden that was extremely ancient. Moreover, there were more hills in the distance, appearing too abruptly.
This cut off Shi Hao's path forward.
A monument towered before him, on it a few large characters, words carved by a long life being.
"A life restricted region?" Shi Hao was stunned. His face immediately went rigid.
The lower realms had life restricted regions too?
He was a bit stunned. This was just too difficult to believe. The so-called life restricted regions should be in the Nine Heavens above, why was it in the eight regions with sparse spiritual essence.
One had to understand that this place was like a prison, who was willing to send themselves into a prison?

Chapter 1733 - Life Restricted Region
This barren land viewed as the lower realms' eight regions prison actually hid a life restricted region?
Shi Hao's body went taut. These weren't some remains, this place was in good condition. From the looks of it, some type of taboo ancient existence really did live here.
Someone of that level could calmly face even the invasion of the other side. This was a world of its own, not affected by worldly disputes, extremely powerful.
Shi Hao had visited Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, but that place was ruined, now already no longer a true life restricted region.
Now, he returned to the lower realms, yet ended up encountering one? Perhaps he couldn't call himself fortunate, maybe unlucky was a more fitting description.
It was rumored that once one came to this type of place, one could only enter, could not leave. Even heaven warping figures would die!
Shi Hao revealed a bitter smile, releasing a light sigh. He finally made it back to the lower realms with such difficulty, yet now ended up encountering this type of thing, his life really was full of trouble.
The restricted region blocked his path forward, cutting off this great desert.
Meanwhile, behind him was that path, the stone stairway leading into the three thousand provinces.
Right now, he had two choices, either go forward, or follow the stone stairs back into the three thousand provinces again.
However, when Shi Hao turned around, his face became a bit rigid. Where did that path go? Why did it disappear?
The space behind him was completely empty, what heavenly stairway in the void, what path into the higher realms? That extremely long stone stairway already disappeared without a trace.
Shi Hao immediately felt a headache. Why did that path disappear? How was he supposed to head into the three thousand provinces in the future?
He immediately recollected himself. While facing danger, where did he have the luxury of worrying about the future? There was already trouble right now. He didn't have a choice, only one path he could take.
The sky became dusky, no sun visible, but this place wasn't surrounded by darkness either. It was like a quiet evening, carrying a bit of a blood color.
Shi Hao took steps forward. Since he didn't have a choice, then he would just proceed!
Sou!
Golden light surged from his sleeves, a savage beast aura appearing. The golden lion was let out by him, appearing on this quiet land.
The Fearless Lion was powerful, bloodline rare. It stared blankly momentarily. After sizing up his surroundings, he cried out in alarm, "This is the lower realms?"
It also found this a bit hard to believe, because it already smelled a long life medicinal fragrance. It was just too intoxicating, making its pores relax, as if it was going to ascend into immortality.
Shi Hao didn't act too politely, sitting on its back, ordering it to advance.
"Life restricted region?" The golden lion screamed out in alarm. It saw that monument, the characters on it, recognizing them, clearly understanding the warnings. This place couldn't be entered, it was a life restricted region.
Unfortunately, it didn't recognize the first two characters. This was the name of the restricted region!
"I just knew that whenever there would be danger, I would have to go at the very front." The golden lion was discontent.
Shi Hao was currently pondering over the meaning of the two characters, not paying it any attention. He felt like those seemed to be two special symbols, and not the usual immortal text.
The lord of the restricted region was prideful. For the sake of naming his own land, he might have very well created his own symbols, not using the commonly used characters.
"This younger generation is named Shi Hao, passing by to return home, I apologize for disturbing you." Shi Hao spoke out. Regardless, he had to pass through this place, so he had to greet the lord of this place.
Honglong!
As soon as he spoke, the restricted region actually underwent an astonishing change. The medicinal fields shone, fragrance wafting out. Many old medicines actually moved, running.
Don't tell me they were all divine medicines?
Even though he was still far away, Shi Hao's mind still jumped. A stalk of long life medicine, together with so many divine medicines, this place was just too enticing.
Pillars of light shot out one after another, quickly piercing through the heavens like heaven supporting pillars, holding up the dome of heaven. The scene was just too grand, extremely shocking.
However, not even all of the splendid divine light pillars were able to completely illuminate the surroundings, on the contrary, everything became a bit darker, only the nearby regions swirling with radiance.
It was as if they immediately entered deep into the night, and then some lamps were lit.
"Who disturbs the restricted region's peace?" A voice sounded, asking like this.
Shi Hao had just come here, yet someone replied, breaking the eternal silence. It made him shiver inwardly.
"This later generation named Shi Hao accidentally offended you. I am passing through this place, only wish to return home…"
Shi Hao explained. No matter how arrogant he was, there was no way he would challenge a life restricted region. He tried his best to ease his tone to explain why he approached.
"We previously established a divine monument, those who enter the land of rest would all -- die. Rules are rules, they cannot be gone against."
In the depths of the restricted region, that voice was still extremely quiet, not showing any emotions. However, it crashed down like thunder onto Shi Hao's ears. Wasn't this existence too domineering?
He immediately felt the desire to kill. He had just approached this place, not even offended the other party, yet he already provoked a deathly disaster?
In his opinion, the existence in the restricted region was too domineering.
The golden lion's fur all moved, standing on end. It was absolutely horrified. After offending a restricted region's lord, was there any chance of survival left?
"Where is the divine monument? I did not see it." Shi Hao didn't panic, instead asking like this.
Those who dared dispute with someone from the restricted region really were few. The golden lion immediately broke out into cold sweat. Wasn't this the same as wishing to die sooner?
After a moment of silence, a sigh sounded from the depths of the restricted region. "It seems like it really has disappeared. Time… it truly is ruthless."
When he finished speaking, a few crushed rocks rumbled, slowly rising, reassembling, forming a monument in front of Shi Hao.
This monument was clearly an ancient object, existing for an extremely long time, definitely didn't belong to this great era. There were traces left behind by terrifying divine abilities, the mottled markings extremely deep.
Shi Hao remained calm. Just now, he seemed to have experienced the feeling of time flowing in reverse. That monument seemed to have appeared from the river of time.
"Even though the monument has already fallen, rules are still rules, cannot be changed." That creature said. He still didn't seem to have any intention of letting Shi Hao and the golden lion go.
"However, I can let those within you go, they seem to be innocent, brought here by you." The topic shifted, he actually spoke like this.
This time, Shi Hao didn't argue. He could send away his parents and those children first, he couldn't let them take risks here.
With a honglong noise, Shi Hao's body shone. A warship flew out from his chest, gradually enlarging, returning to its normal size.
At this time, Shi Ziling, Qin Yining, and those children didn't know what was happening in the outside world appeared.
"My child, did we return to the lower reams?" Qin Yining asked.
"Yes, we have arrived." Shi Hao replied, and then said, "You all go first, I met a senior and have some matters to take care of. Head to Desolate Region's Stone Country and wait for me."
He didn't dare tell them the truth, fearing that his parents would worry for him.
At the same time, divine light appeared in the restricted region, a silver path appearing. It was like a waterfall, but also like a silver region, extending into the sky dome, reaching into the distance.
This was a path that led outside the restricted region.
"This place is…"
Shi Ziling and Qin Yining weren't normal people. They smelled the medicinal fragrance, feeling like it was immortal medicine. Both of them were moved and shocked.
"Hurry and leave, do not wait for me, immediately head to Stone Country, head to Stone Village!" Shi Hao warned, his voice extremely strict.
The two revealed a look of worry. They wanted to say something, but when they saw Shi Hao's expression, they had no choice but to agree, quickly ride the warship out of this place.
The warship followed the silver-colored path, quickly leaving, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
During this process, the golden lion watched blankly, and then it stared at Shi Hao with a resentful expression. It originally wanted to leave too, but Shi Hao let it out ahead of time, so they both basically barged into this restricted region.
"Who came to disturb this place?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded, extremely clear, also a male voice. It carried a type of charm, much gentler than the voice from before.
"A man and a beast. They have gone against the rules, intruding into our world, ought to be killed."
That voice from before sounded, extremely respectful, seriously replying.
"Child, your slaughtering nature is still that strong, it will affect your great dao path." That gentle voice sounded, making one feel as if they were bathing in autumn winds.
Shi Hao was shocked. The one from before was already extremely powerful, but now, it sounded like he was nothing more than an assistant?
The golden lion was also shocked, feeling greatly shaken.
It was because it felt like that so-called assistant had long become an undying level existence as well, strength deep and immeasurable.
"Yi, you came from the three thousand provinces, this is a bit interesting, making it through that path." Right at this time, the voice that was rather alluring spoke again.
"Child, collect the formation, bring them over." That man spoke, actually wishing to meet Shi Hao!

Chapter 1734 - Cosmos Lake
"Understood!"
That assistant spoke. In that instant, all of the heaven reaching pillars of light disappeared, entering into the earth.
When the beams of light were restrained, the surface rumbled, some places displaying cracks, for example, where the pillars of light disappeared into.
The golden lion's eyes widened, sucking in a cold breath of air. It couldn't help but break out into a cold shiver. It was because it saw that underneath the earth, there were immortal dao true bones buried here.
They were damaged, incomplete. One could imagine that even when this level of existence entered, they were all killed!
Soon afterwards, a green wooden bridge appeared, extending over from the short mountains and hills from the distance.
It was shaped like a stone arch bridge, but it was made of wood. The bridge also had some branches, sparkling and replete green leaves growing from it like pieces of jade.
On the bridge was a life aura that flourished like a sea, carrying powerful divine force fluctuations.
Divine wood!
Needless to say, this wooden bridge was definitely refined from ancient divine wood.
"An ancient tree that achieved immortality, but killed and refined into a bridge." Shi Hao sighed with astonishment.
At the end of the bridge, the area between the hills was extremely lush and verdant. The bridge stretched across the medicinal field, nothing blocking its path.
Shi Hao believed that if not for this bridge, if he directly rushed in, he might have immediately been attacked. He already saw the world-shocking formation; once activated, all gods and buddhas would be killed without exception!
He got off the wooden bridge, walking between the hills. The grass was lush and verdant, air fresh and clean, as if he had entered Shangri-la.
The skies here brightened a bit, but it was still somewhat murky, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, a world without daylight.
Not far out, there were palaces on many of the short mountains, extremely grand. There were some made of silver metals, some golden, others that were made of bronze.
These palaces had a terrifying aura. If one looked at them from the distance, it would make one feel as if their mind was about to collapse.
Pu!
The golden lion immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood. Just because it tried to look at a silver ancient palace on a mountain, it was as if it suffered from the attack of the most terrifying heavenly tribulation, making it unable to hold on.
Palaces rested before them one after another, all of them extremely ancient, any one of them as if they could suppress the heavens!
"Do not look randomly. Those places are not things people like you can look at." The male who was suspected to be an assistant said coldly.
Shi Hao and the golden lion became alarmed, moreover looking towards the source of the voice.
Just up ahead were several thatched cottages built on the level area between the hills, not on the mountains, nor were they like those grand ancient palaces. The simple thatched cottages had a type of aloof and detached charm.
"Being able to survive through that path is reason enough not to kill, they can be allowed to live." Right at this time, the gentle voice sounded again, precisely from the grass hut, but the person was covered by mist.
"Understood!" The assistant seemed to be nodding.
Shi Hao was moved, now releasing a slight breath of relief.
"If you wish to meet the lord, you all must still cross this lake." The one suspected to be an assistant spoke out again.
The green grass was soft like a cushion. Nor far out, there was a small lake, sparkling like sapphire, separating Shi Hao from the thatched cottages.
Shi Hao had long gotten off the golden lion, not riding it. He didn't dare act presumptuously here, definitely wouldn't ride on a battle beast here.
The golden lion immediately felt a headache. It followed Shi Hao to the riverside, but didn't dare head down. It was because it didn't even cross the ancient path through its own power, couldn't withstand the pressure.
Shi Hao continued forward. When his feet landed on the sparkling lake surface, waves of ripples were immediately produced. In a daze, that place was like the cosmos, with each step that descended, seas of stars would ripple outwards.
In the back, the golden lion trembled. It sensed a terrifying power fluctuating.
Right now, it watched as Shi Hao advanced, his movements steady. After a bit of hesitation, it also reached out a claw towards the lake surface.
Hong!
Immediately afterwards, the golden lion experienced incomparable pain. That claw broke down, skin and fur falling off, sharp claws broken, flesh rotten, only bones left.
It released a muffled groan, couldn't help but scream out. It was absolutely horrified, quickly backing up.
The golden lion did everything it could to recover the claw, but no matter how it exerted force, it couldn't restore it. The flesh came off, skin and fur not attached, only bones that carried golden light left.
This injury actually couldn't be healed!
It was extremely terrified. What kind of lake was this? How could it be this terrifying?
The golden lion looked forward, seeing that Shi Hao had already walked more than ten zhang forward, and then it finally calmed down a bit.
It was because Huang also suffered damage. At first, he was unaffected, but after more than ten zhang, his legs had decayed, revealing sparkling white sole bones. However, he didn't stop!
The lake was sparkling, azure and translucent. Only when these types of ripples were produced would it appear terrifying.
When the ripples spread, the seas of stars were endless. A great dao aura pervaded outwards, as if a great cosmos was being created, containing a life and death aura!
As Shi Hao continued forward, the flesh on his calves also came off, bones exposed, the scene horrifying.
Right now, wind and thunder stirred about, the entire small lake releasing natural law power. This was the great dao, the great universe that was being opened, the stars countless, moving around Shi Hao.
In that place, there was already no lake visible, only a sea of stars. As he continued forward, it was as if a world was being established!
Primal chaos surged, sparkling brilliance flickering about. Starting from Shi Hao's legs, his flesh continuously came off, in the end already reaching his chest, the scene utterly horrifying.
The golden lion was stupefied. Was this fella going to die?
During this process, the lake appeared again, all of the stars turning into droplets, becoming a small lake once more. However, the terrifying aura instead became even stronger.
All of Shi Hao's flesh, from head to toe, disappeared, now completely a skeleton. It was as if he had an imperishable golden body. Moreover, during this process, his body continuously sunk, sinking into the lake.
The golden lion's head trembled. Even Huang was about to die, it definitely wouldn't have a good ending!
However, what was unexpected was that as Shi Hao's head entered the lake as well, he then slowly rose up, and then continued forward again. Flesh appeared on his head, his skin and hair returning as well.
When Shi Hao walked out several dozen zhang, his waist had already completely recovered, gradually being restored!
In the end, Shi Hao left the small lake. His legs stepped on shore, entire body sparkling, slender body just as good as before, possibly even more abundant with life.
A battle armor covered his body, his expression extremely calm.
"Cosmos Lake, Lake of Life and Death, only heaven warping talents could make it through." In front of the thatched cottage, that male commented, his voice becoming even more gentle.
Shi Hao saw that person. He was extremely shocked. This person was extremely young, and also extremely refined, his complexion fine. He looked like he wasn't over thirty years of age, at the very least, this was how he appeared on the outside.
This person was dressed in white clothes, spotlessly white and perfect, on his face a gentle smile, incredibly good-looking and bright. His eyes were deep, could be considered an exceptionally handsome man.
"After passing through that path, you were already considered one of us. After crossing this lake, you can be considered to have passed the final trial, able to meet me."
That male spoke, carrying a smile.
If there wasn't anything unexpected, then this was the lord of the restricted region!
There was no need to think more. The so-called one of us was praise, believing that in the future, Shi Hao could approach them, that he had this type of potential.
Shi Hao felt like everything was extremely unreal, as if it was all a dream. It really was hard to say that he ended up inside of a restricted region today, moreover seeing a taboo level existence.
Towards the Nine Heavens' life restricted regions, he had heard too much, but he never went inside, because he knew that there wasn't much hope of making it out alive afterwards.
Even if there was the latter part of the Imperishable Scripture there, he was still helpless, unable to head there.
Yet today, he actually met this level of existence in the lower realms' eight regions!
"Sit down, boy, bring some tea." The white-clothed man said, his appearance extremely exquisite.
In front of the thatched cottage, there was a small side table, next to it two tree trunk seats. The middle-aged man sat on one of them, inviting Shi Hao to sit on the other one.
As for the so-called boy, he also looked extremely young, as if under twenty years of age. However, he was definitely extraordinary, from his pupils, one could see that he had lived for an endless amount of time.
Apart from this, there was a woman behind the white-clothed male, extremely beautiful, bright and refined like a goddess.
In fact, Shi Hao had reason to suspect that she was an undying existence, or perhaps a true immortal!
The white-clothed man was the master of this place, the lord of this restricted region.
The man and women could both be considered his dao children!
Shi Hao hesitated a bit, but then sat down. Since he came, then he should just see it to its end.
"It has been many years already, too much time has passed. After endless generations have flowed on, my aged self almost feeling as if it has passed in in meditation, only then was I able to meet a youngster who is quite excellent." The white-clothed male said, releasing a light sigh, as if he was deeply moved.
However, Shi Hao instead caught on to something. Within that voice, it was as if a sword was ringing, resounding and sharp, as if it was going to tear apart the heavens, break through the great dao, alter heaven and earth!
In reality, that voice was extremely calm, but it even made one's mind tremble.
The dao child brought over tea, the fragrance pleasant. There was a true phoenix flapping its wings inside the teacup, moving about, bright red and resplendent, releasing an intoxicating aroma.
Shi Hao was extremely shocked. What kind of tea was this? Could it be even more extraordinary than the Dao Comprehension Immortal Tea?
"Just some ordinary tea plants from the mountains planted by myself." The white-clothed man seemed to have seen through what he was thinking, speaking like this.

Chapter 1735 - Tenth Person
The lord of a restricted region grew tea leaves?
Shi Hao lowered his head. The tea leaves in the cup were bright red, releasing brilliant radiance. It really was swimming about, scarlet multicolored light surging, to the extent where there were even wing fluttering sounds. They were too similar to true phoenixes, as if they were living creatures.
These were tea leaves. They really were extraordinary.
"I really don't know just what kind of tea leaves these are… perhaps they are rare even in Immortal Domain." He said with a light sigh.
A sweet fragrance wafted out, making one feel extremely refreshed, as if they were the most precious rare great medicine. The tea cleansed the body and spirit, a single breath of the aroma making one feel as if they entered a clear mind state. It was extremely shocking.
"Immortal Domain is vast and boundless, no lack of ancient tea trees, enough to brew true Dao Comprehension Teas. I merely borrowed leaves from an ordinary bitter tea tree, merely water it a bit each year." The white-clothed man said with a smile.
Shi Hao stared blankly. He looked at the tea in this cup; this was just normal tea, not immortal tea?
He immediately realized what was going on. The value of this tea didn't rest in the quality of the tea leaves, it was rather because the one who planted it was different that this tea was different.
Flowers and plants that were cared for by a true immortal, no matter how ordinary they were, in the end, they would become extraordinary!
Meanwhile, this lord of the restricted region was even more unimaginable. The bitter tea tree he planted, how could it be like the ordinary ancient tree of the mundane world? It was naturally extraordinary.
When Shi Hao looked at the tea again, he discovered that it had calmed down, the cup becoming still. Bright red leaves fell, extremely beautiful, but no longer so mysterious.
He took a sip. In that instant, a bitter taste spread through his mouth, even his tongue becoming numb. This type of taste was a bit hard to endure, completely different from the sweet fragrance it gave off.
Shi Hao opened his mouth, directly sucking in a breath of cold air. Even someone of his cultivation level ended up like this from the bitterness, one could imagine just how potent this tea was.
If it was an ordinary person, they might directly die from the bitterness.
It was because this tea leaf definitely had natural law force, or else how could it be like this? Even he felt like it was extremely uncomfortable, really wanting to spit it out.
"How is it?" The white-clothed person asked, voice carrying a bit of charm. His eyes were deep, face bright and handsome, complexion fine like jade. He really was good-looking.
"Bitter!" Shi Hao only had this word.
"And?" He asked.
What else was there? Shi Hao wanted to throw the teacup. Apart from bitterness, he really couldn't taste anything. He didn't have the nerve to say that it was extremely fragrant.
"Hm?" Suddenly, he was shocked.
All of a sudden, the bitterness and pain on his tongue disappeared, an extremely astringent feeling began to spread, as well as a bit of a sour feeling. This taste immediately dispersed, even making his entire being become a bit rigid.
"Too astringent!" He couldn't help but say.
Then, the tart taste, starting from his tongue, began to spread into his soul, the feeling not all that good either, definitely not enjoyment.
Shi Hao was speechless. What was the restricted region lord's intention? He actually brought out this type of crap tea when treating guests? It was bitter and astringent, difficult to swallow.
This wasn't enjoying tea, this was suffering. He really wanted to spit it out.
However, this was a life restricted region. If he did that with the tea of a world-shocking figure, then it really would be too disrespectful, he couldn't do something like that.
Only, this tea was just too different, right? It couldn't be drunk at all. It couldn't help one comprehend the dao, nor could it be used as a type of enjoyment, so what was its use?
"This type of tea, only nine individuals have drank it before, normal people can't even drink a drop of it, because they do not have such great fortune." The white-clothed male said with a light sigh.
He was so handsome, appearance not over thirty years. Even though he was male, there was a type of charm that was hard to describe. His eyes were deep, temperament extraordinary.
He was like a phoenix who overlooked all birds, extraordinary and transcendent, making all birds kneel in worship.
From the expression of that female dao child behind him, he could see that even though she might be an immortal, she still carried an expression of jealousy, eyes full of strange brilliance.
Shi Hao muttered inwardly. Fortunately, he was male as well, so this restricted region's lord's extraordinary appearance didn't have much effect on him either.
One could imagine if there were other young ladies who came here, saw this type of individual, just what kind of faces they would show, perhaps expressing greater admiration than even this female dao child.
"Only nine people drank it before… just what kind of people were they?" Shi Hao asked.
"The first was naturally myself." The white-clothed man laughed, teeth extremely white like a dazzling youngster, not like an imposing restricted region lord.
"The others?" Shi Hao asked.
"The others were all youngsters, Prides of Heaven from different times, the heaven warping figures of different ages." The white-clothed male replied.
The Pride of Heaven of a generation, the most powerful young experts of different ages? Shi Hao was shocked.
"From the start of Immortal Ancient Great Era until its conclusion, there were eight youngsters who drank this tea. It truly is a pity." The white-clothed youngster shook his head, feeling extremely disappointed and frustrated.
He turned around, looking towards the distance, as if he was trying to recall something. He was reminiscing, recalling the past, even more so feeling regret.
"What is a pity?" Shi Hao asked.
He could be considered someone who wasn't scared to admit his ignorance, completely unaware, just directly asking like this. One had to understand that this was the lord of a restricted region. His power could oppress all under the heavens, command all sides.
"It is a pity that they all died." The white-clothed male said.
Shi Hao was stunned, a bit stupefied. He looked at this person, unable to utter a single word. What was the meaning of this? After drinking this tea, they have died?
"Why… did they all die?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Because they drank this cup, which is why they all died." The white-clothed man said with a gentle smile.
Shi Hao was extremely speechless. If he was someone with an explosive temper, he might have cursed out. What shoddy tea was this? It wanted to harm him to death just like that?
"I must ask senior to explain clearly to me!" He said. It was because he believed that if the lord of the restricted region wanted him dead, it was extremely easy. Why was there a need to expend such a great deal of effort?
"After they drank this tea, they all earnestly cultivated. In the end, they all took that path, yet due to some reason, they all died." The white-clothed man sighed.
He became even more disappointed and frustrated, his eyes reflecting the heavens, scenes of the great cosmos being torn apart. There were even terrifying scenes of the stars in the sky all exploding, absolutely horrifying!
He wasn't trying to harm Shi Hao, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.
Right now, the sky dome was cracking apart, starry seas appearing, rising and falling. There were some stars that moved as his eyes swirled with radiance, even starting to break apart, being destroyed.
Shi Hao was shocked. It wasn't that he didn't know the power of the lord of the restricted region, but now, when he took a hurried glance, saw this scene, he still felt incredibly shook.
In the end, the white-clothed man's eyes dimmed, the depths of his pupils no longer the scene of the ancient cosmos collapsing, but rather eight men and women who appeared.
They appeared one after another, as if they walked over from different segments of the river of time, now reflected in his eyes. Was this his recollection of the past?
"Drink the tea." The white-clothed male said.
Shi Hao clenched his teeth, and then downed all of the remaining tea water in one gulp. This time, it was even more bitter and astringent, his entire mouth numb, already almost losing feeling.
Then, Shi Hao was stunned. It was because he discovered that a figure appeared right before him.
This was a man, his figure tall, a zhang in length. His hair was wild, build extremely robust, as if he was an iron tower, possessing tremendous strength.
"He is named Ao Gu, the first youngster I met. He came from Primal Chaos Clan, appeared at the start of Immortal Ancient. He dominated all of the younger generation under the heavens, never suffered a defeat." The white-clothed male explained.
This youngster's skin color was a light golden, radiance swirling about. He was clearly a body cultivator, sturdy to an alarming degree.
"I previously taught him the Dragon Wrestling Heavenly Art." The white clothed male said.
When Shi Hao heard this, he was shaken. An ancient heavenly art, just from the name alone, he could tell that its power was definitely incredible.
"When he achieved immortality, became extremely powerful, he didn't heed my warnings, taking that path ahead of time. In the end, he never returned, withering away." The white-clothed man said with a sigh.
Shi Hao was shocked. After achieving immortality, when he became extremely strong… in the end, he still died?!
Then, when Shi Hao's mouth became bitter, that youngster disappeared. A second figure appeared, a woman dressed in golden clothes. She was extremely beautiful, exceptionally alluring.
Moreover, when she looked towards the white-clothed man, the look in her eyes wasn't like that of a master or senior at all, but rather one that couldn't conceal her adoration at all.
The white-clothed man's expression was bitter. When he saw this golden-clothed young lady, his expression became complicated, recalling the past, sighing to himself, even more so feeling endless regret.
"Her name is Jin Zhen, came from Immortal Domain's Golden Crow Clan. Her aptitudes really were too great, I thought that her accomplishments would even exceed mine. Unfortunately, she still died."
The white-clothed male felt grief. He reached out his hand, wishing to caress that golden-clothed young lady's hair, but in the end, her figure scattered apart.
Then, a third figure appeared. This was a young man, his appearance rather delicate.
"He is named Ruo Feng, a rather delicate youngster. I previously taught him the Immortal Slaughter Technique." The white-clothed man said.
Shi Hao couldn't calm down anymore. Regardless of whether those people died or not, it was enough to prove one thing, that this restricted region lord was too extraordinary! He passed down a different great method to each person, all of them entirely different. He was completely a treasury of information!
Sure enough, as the white-clothed man introduced the others, they were all like this. He had taught all of them different great divine abilities.
…
When the final person appeared, Shi Hao was inwardly shaken. That was a woman, truly too beautiful. A green moon appeared behind her head, making her look aloof and otherworldly.
"Her name is Qing Yue, of the human race."
"What, she is… Fairy Qing Yue?!" Shi Ho was extremely shocked.

Chapter 1736 - Waiting for the Next Great Era
"Precisely, many people called her Fairy Qing Yue." The white-clothed man nodded.
This woman's appearance was exceptional, absolutely stunning. A blue moon hung behind her, illuminating the world. She was like a goddess of the world's creation, overlooking all under the sky.
Every frown and smile was beautiful.
Fairy Qing Yue was extremely gentle in appearance, pure and holy. This ought to have been her appearance and demeanor when she was alive, extremely calm even when facing the lord of a restricted region.
"She looks calm and peaceful, but she is extremely prideful." The white-clothed man laughed. Then, his eyes became dim. "She has also died, falling in the last phase of Immortal Ancient."
Shi Hao's mind rose and fell, finding it hard to calm down. He really was shocked. He didn't know anything about those people before, nor had he heard about them.
However, towards this final person, how could he not have heard about her? He had previously seen the seed she left behind, that green moon!
Fairy Qing Yue, the seed she passed down had been obtained by Qing Yi!
That flame and those symbols had long become one with Qing Yi.
It was to the extent where there were some who suspected that Fairy Qing Yue might have some type of connection with Qing Yi, perhaps even a reincarnation, difficult to say clearly.
Shi Hao was naturally shocked. The Fairy Qing Yue whose name shook Immortal Ancient Great Era was actually connected to this person?
"She is your disciple?" Shi Hao asked.
"She can be considered one, I reckon. I passed down a great method onto her." The white-clothed male nodded.
Shi Hao was speechless. Just how strong was this person? He had seen eight individuals, all of them figures who could move heaven and earth. Through Fairy Qing Yue, he knew that the others were all truly exceptional.
This restricted region lord was too mysterious, definitely an unmatched figure. From his words, it seemed like he began taking on disciples from the start of Immortal Ancient Great Era.
Ao Gu, he came from Primal Chaos Clan, the first expert to have reached this place, born at the start of Immortal Ancient Great Era.
One could imagine just how long this restricted region lord had lived for!
"They are all dead." The white-clothed man released a sigh. A breeze blew past, moving his white clothes, adding a bit of a bleak feeling to his appearance.
"I drank this tea, then…" Shi Hao carefully spoke.
It was because he didn't want to die for no reason. Those who drank this tea all died, it truly was inauspicious.
"You are the tenth. I waited for an entire great era, today, I've finally met you." The lord of this restricted region said.
Shi Hao felt a headache, saying, "I don't want to follow them to the grave."
The white-clothed man heard this, shaking his head and saying, "I won't force you to take that path, to the extent where I was even opposed to them entering ahead of time. However, they still went too early, in the end all dying."
Those individuals were in such a rush to head down this path, desired it so greatly, risking their lives to explore it.
"They knew that their own cultivation had reached the peak, unable to break through any further, which was why even though they knew they would fail, they still wanted to continue… sigh!" The white-clothed man actually spoke this with a sigh.
"I know that they respected me as their master, which is why they wished to fight in my place." The white-clothed man said.
Shi Hao was confused. What was he trying to say? Did this lord of the restricted region have great enemies? Why didn't he go himself?
The white-clothed male gently brushed out with his hand. Heaven fell and earth fissured, ghosts wept and deities howled, the universe torn apart. In the end, a quiet scene appeared.
"That place is…"
Shi Hao was shocked, finding it hard to calm down.
It was because he had previously went to that place, saw a portion of the truth.
Now, the white-clothed man separated the void, making that scene reappear.
This should only be a scene, a past memory, not them truly descending into this place.
A dam rested there from past until now, faintly discernible. Sounds of great waves sounded from behind the dam.
The sky was dusky, layers and layers of mist shrouding this place.
This place was extremely mysterious, nothing could be seen clearly.
However, Shi Hao still saw that on the dam, there was an individual. Its body carried blood, releasing immortal dao aura. This was a true immortal who died there.
As his eyes shifted, in the distant part of the dam, there were similarly many undying level corpses hung on the dam, dying on it.
Shi Hao had been here before!
Back then, when he left Immortal Domain with Sanzang and Shenming, looking for the path back, they had previously seen a Lightning Abyss. They passed through that path, eventually reaching this dam.
In that place, he found traces of Willow Deity. Willow Deity also left, entering the world behind the dam!
Apart from this, there was a trail of faint footprints, unknown what era it belonged to. It seemed like all those who came after followed these footprints.
The path the white-clothed man spoke of was precisely that place, behind the dam?!
Shi Hao couldn't hide his shock. He never thought that this would be it!
Suddenly, his mind went taut, because he saw a creature in that scene.
His white clothes were purer than snow, untainted by a speck of dust, aloof and transcendent. He stood on the dam, in the end, he took a step out, heading inside.
It was the lord of the restricted region, his past self had entered inside!
Shi Hao was extremely shocked. Those who entered inside could still return alive? All of the scene pointed at the fact that this was a path of death, no one has ever brought back valuable information out from that place.
He had previously seen immortal dao remains there, one after another!
Hong!
Soon afterwards, he heard the crazy sounds behind the dam. It was as if great waves were surging, but also as if there was a great battle. Then, they gradually faded into the distance.
Day after day, year after year passed.
Time fragments flew about. As he watched those scenes, he didn't know how much time passed. Was it a few months or was it many years?
Finally, one day, there was a blood-colored palm that appeared, clinging onto the dam. It was soaked in blood, the damage severe, shattering the peace of this scene.
Then, that hand exerted force, pulling upwards with great difficulty, wishing to climb over the dam. Soon afterwards, a head was finally revealed.
That person's hair was disheveled, his face covered in blood, eyes dim, lacking radiance. He struggled with great difficulty, finally getting on the dam.
His entire body was red, covered in injuries. The space between his brows was cracked, body having countless bloody holes and other wounds, his condition terrifying.
His armor was tattered, scarlet and bloody.
His body was rocking from side to side, staggering, falling down several times, and then getting back up. He fled towards the distance, finally leaving the dam.
Shi Hao was shocked. He recognized that figure, this was the lord of this restricted region.
Originally, his white clothes were purer than snow, yet now, only tattered armor could be seen, long soaked red from blood. He had already lost his past exceptional bearing.
The scene rippled, in the end completely disappearing!
Shi Hao was shocked. He snapped back to reality, giving the restricted region lord a look. Even someone as powerful as him, after going to the dam, almost died, only returning with great difficulty?
Then, the disciples he taught all went there as well, most of them buried there?
"Those who drank this tea, most of them died by the dam." The white-clothed male said.
"What exactly is over there?" Shi Hao asked. He really was extremely shocked. Even someone as powerful as the restricted region lord almost died, barely able to come back alive.
"Sigh, back then, they all wanted to know as well. However, one fell after the other, all of them dying in the end." The white-clothed man said with a sigh.
Then, he looked towards Shi Hao and said, "Do you still want to go? Do you dare head there?"
If it was any other place, Shi Hao might have some hesitation, really needing to think things over. However, towards this place, he had no hesitation. He immediately nodded, directly stating that he dared to go, and he had to go.
It was because even if it wasn't for any other reason, just because Willow Deity left for the world behind the dam, it was already enough for him to set the resolution to make this choice. He had to go there sooner or later.
This was, on the premise that he got stronger, accumulated enough strength. Then, he would march into the dam!
"I have to go there, I dare go there. However, senior, you should teach me heavenly arts and precious technique, teach me everything you taught those people from before!"
Shi Hao's eyes shone, speaking like this. He longed greatly for those ancient techniques. Immortal Slaughter Technique, Dragon Wrestling Heavenly Art, all of these things were powerful, one knew it just from their names.
"Immortal Ancient has ended. I have now waited an entire great era for you to appear, one of us. However, this time, I won't pass down any great methods again." The white-clothed male shook his head.
"Why?"
Shi Hao began to panic. From the first generation's Ao Gu until the last one's Fairy Qing Yue, which one of them didn't inherit a heavenly art or great method from this white-clothed male, obtain tremendous benefits.
Every one of them studied different things, one could see just how heaven-defying this restricted region lord was. He grasped too many secret methods, a research god!
"I previously taught them exceptional great methods, having them become stronger, but in the end, none of them walked their own path, only following my past shadow."
"This type of path, even if they caught up to me, able to match me, so what? It is nothing more than another me. What I want is someone who can transcend beyond." The white-clothed man said.
"Then what do you wish to do?" Shi Hao asked, his heart starting to pound intensely.
"After waiting for an entire great era, I've finally met a suitable person. I will guide you on your own path, forge a true unmatched existence!" The white-clothed man said.
"How are you going to do this?" Shi Hao found it hard to calm down. He knew that a tremendous opportunity might be right before his eyes.
Of course, all of it might also end up becoming nothing.
In reality, he really wanted to learn those great methods, and then after having a good grasp of many different techniques, he would then create his own method, walk his own path. This way, it still wouldn't be too late!
"Take this piece of jade, you can leave for now. Once you have separated yourself from worldly affairs, come look for me." The white-clothed man's voice became extremely gentle again, carrying an alluring feeling.
Multicolored light flickered. A piece of old-fashioned jade appeared in Shi Hao's hands.
"Go." The white-clothed man gestured with his hands.
Shi Hao bowed, saying goodbye.
However, when he raised his head, he couldn't help but be stunned, in complete disbelief.
Around here, where were there any thatched cottages and grass? Everything was completely barren, the entire Cosmos Lake disappearing, the distant medicinal fields and others all dried up.
There were only a few ruined mountains, all of them deathly still as well.
This continued until Shi Hao raised his head and concentrated his gaze, seeing a skull, snow-white like jade, only then was he shaken.
Right now, there was no jade piece in Shi Hao's hands, yet that jade piece really did exist, right in front of that skull. Apart from that, there was a teapot that was damaged, as well as half a teacup, incredibly old-fashioned.
Shi Hao was stunned!
What kind of place was this? Who was he talking to not too long ago?
Soon afterwards, he saw two other skulls, extremely dull, already damaged, behind the snow-white skull.
"The lord of the restricted region, as well as his pair of dao children…" Shi Hao felt his own voice shaking!
A desolate scene!
The past taboo existence, a glorious world-shocking individual, how did he die? Was he actually buried one day like this?

Chapter 1737 - Fade Away
There was no white-clothed man, no dao children, even more so no thatched cottages, grand metal palace halls, Cosmos Lake, spiritual mountain, or anything else, everything he saw before vanished.
There was only silence here, as well as some dried bones, withered away over time, coldly existing in the silence, extremely bleak.
Shi Hao felt a chill run down his body from head to toe. Just what exactly did he experience?
Just now, everything was clearly real, everything unimaginable, as if it was just a dream of grandeur. However, he now woke up like this, a chill even running down his back.
This really was frightening. One had to understand that he was but a Self Release Realm cultivator, cultivation profound, moreover someone who broke through the records of this great era, establishing a legend, a young expert that had never appeared before.
However, he was still fooled, that dream too realistic.
When he lowered his head to look at that snow-white, damaged skull, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He just couldn't shake off this feeling of flusteredness. If his suspicions were correct, then it really was too terrifying.
A glorious restricted region lord ended up like this?
The so-called high up above, enough strength to dominate the world, overlook all under the sky, in the end still became nothing, unable to save even himself, flesh going up in smoke. As the great world ebbed and flowed, his existence vanished.
This was but the lord of a restricted region! Yet in the end, all of his hopes and efforts came to nothing, his body turning into white bones. It rested in this bleak and desolate wilderness, only accompanied by generation after generation of silence.
This scene and situation were quite similar to the 'ghost appearing in dream and making a request' ordinary people spoke of, the spirit of the deceased expressing his remnant will through this type of method.
The lord of a restricted region was definitely powerful, able to alter his own fate, reign unmatched in the world, but in the end, he still ended up in this type of state, only able to appear through this type of method. It really was a bit pitiful.
Shi Hao looked at that snow-white skull, really finding it a bit hard to accept. Just now, he had interacted with it as if he was in a land of dreams, was this all done by this skull?
A cold wind swept through the dry and hard earth, releasing wuwu noises, making this place appear even more frigid.
Shi Hao took steps back again and again, staying a bit further from that skull. He began to search around the surroundings, carefully examining this place, wishing to find more historical traces and clues.
There was an expanse of ruined mountains, immortal energy previously suffusing this place. In that dreamland, it wasn't that tall, but it had heaven suppressing great might, a great dao mountain.
On the mountain, there were previously metal palaces, every single one of them incredibly grand, even a single look making one's mind feel like splitting, their souls in pain from the pressure.
However, now, apart from broken mountains, what else was there?
Dang!
His feet ended up kicking some crushed stones. A cold wind swept past, stirring forth some dust and ashes, revealing metal debris, as well as some building foundations.
It was metal, previously a grand structure. However now, there were only bits of remains left!
They were all destroyed, no longer in existence!
There were no unaging beauties or imperishable inheritances, everything would wither away one day. Even a powerful existence like the lord of a restricted region turned to ashes with the passing of time.
Shi Hao turned around, arriving before the medicinal field. It was still here, one could see the rough outline of this divine earth. There were still crop rows, as well as dried plants.
It was extremely strange. Even the metal palaces had turned to ruins, yet there were still withered divine herbs here, it really was weird.
The medicinal field shone. As Shi Hao got closer, waves of light surged. Those dried great medicines and rotten divine herbs, at this time, became ashes.
Shi Hao was shocked. He didn't even get close yet. He released a sigh, this medicinal field's spiritual nature preserved its past appearance.
Only, what disappeared still disappeared in the end, could not be recreated.
Then, he turned around again. Along the way, he saw the golden lion. It was completely quiet, laying there, not moving, as if still asleep.
Shi Hao walked over, giving it a pat. Sure enough, it was just sleeping, no danger to its life.
"What happened?" The golden lion suddenly opened its eyes, all of the hair on its body standing on end, quickly backing up, looking at Shi Hao with great alarm.
Growl…
It released a low growl. It felt great pain from a claw, and then couldn't help but lower its head, moreover recalled the events it experienced while it was asleep.
"Cosmos Lake, my skin and fur, flesh…"
It clearly remembered that when Shi Hao crossed Cosmos lake, it had also tried to, but in the end, its claw was completely corroded by natural laws, flesh coming off, only white bones remaining, leaving it in intense pain.
Now, it could still feel that penetrating pain. Moreover, that claw had some blood on it, just that the skin, fur, flesh, and other parts all already reappeared, properly recovering.
Yi! Shi Hao naturally saw the blood on its claw, feeling extremely shocked. So what he experienced in that dream might not necessarily all be fake?
"Why did that Cosmos Lake dry up?" The golden lion was a bit shocked. Then, when it examined its surroundings, it became even more stupefied.
Where was all the lush verdance, the spiraling immortal energy? Everything disappeared, this place became a land of death!
The so-called long life medicinal fragrance, none of it could be smelled either!
The golden lion was petrified. Then, it clenched its teeth, lowered its head, starting to use its great claws to dig at the dried up small lake. There was still fine sand covering that place.
However, what left it shocked was that when it touched the sand, heaven shook and earth quaked, this place rumbling with noise.
The golden lion quickly backed up, immediately stunned. It was because when it touched the sand, it was heavy to the point of almost making it scream out, every grain of sand comparable to a star.
Shi Hao was also shocked. He squatted down, examining the fine sand below the dried lake.
He used his hand to examine it, as a result discovering with shock that it was too heavy, every grain of sand like this, as heavy as a star.
"This… really is Cosmos Lake!" Shi Hao sighed with astonishment.
Every granule of sand was a real star, refined into sand. Back then, green waves rippled, the water sparkling, this place was created by stars.
The so-called Cosmos Lake, it had really existed. This place was a cosmos of its own, yet it was used to decorate the area in front of the thatched cottage of the lord of the restricted region.
Just how great of an expense was this?
As the lord of the restricted region died, this cosmos ended drying up, lake turning into sand, the past grand view no longer appearing.
Shi Hao walked over to the skull again. There were no thatched cottages here, nor were there wooden stumps, everything gone.
On the ground, the three skulls replaced the white-clothed male and two dao children's positions, not the slightest bit off.
The golden lion's entire body released chills, just now daring to believe what was before its eyes.
Shi Hao sighed. He squatted down. He wanted to bury this skull to prevent these remains from being exposed to the desolate wilderness anymore.
However, what was shocking was that he couldn't move the snow-white skull at all. It didn't budge at all, as if it was a wall supporting heaven and earth.
It was a head, why couldn't he move it?
With his cultivation, he could easily pick stars or moons, even grabbing down the heavenly sun wasn't an issue, yet he couldn't pick up that skull.
Soon afterwards, he discovered some abnormalities.
When he brushed aside the surrounding earth, there were some stone slabs, some characters engraved on them. The handwriting was done by different people, some strokes powerful, some gentle and elegant.
The name etched into the first slab was -- Ao Gu!
Wasn't this the first youngster the lord of the restricted region talked about, the one known to be the most powerful Primal Chaos Clan's Pride of Heaven, from the beginning phase of Immortal Ancient Great Era?
He examined them one by one, sure enough, he recognized some familiar names, all of them the youngsters he saw in that dream.
The final slab was left behind precisely by Fairy Qing Yue.
It wasn't an illusion, everything was real.
"This…"
He learned a bit of the truth from these stone slabs, previously, there really were those young Heaven's Prides who came here, moreover obtained teachings, paying their respects to the lord of the restricted region as their master.
Of course, at that time, it was already no longer a living lord of the restricted region. It was just like right now, only a skull!
In the end, they all wanted to bury this taboo existence's remains as well, yet they couldn't do it, only able to leave behind stone inscriptions, pay homage to this place.
Shi Hao began to feel a headache. Just which generation was the lord of this restricted region from? It was already only a skull at the start of Immortal Ancient Great Era, so which era did it die in?
On the ground was a teapot, a piece of jade, as well as broken cups, everything extremely old-fashioned, all things he had previously seen in that dream.
Shi Hao reached out his hand. He was able to pick up the teapot, as well as the broken teacups. What was shocking was that there was tea that came out, still bright red, even carrying a bit of warmth.
He was shocked. Even after so many years passed, more than a great era, there was still tea, and it was still warm?
The golden lion was also shocked, its throat making a gulp sound. It was because the fragrance of that tea was too rich.
Shi Hao had a taste of that tea. It was still the same taste, bitter and astringent to an unbearable degree, just too unpleasant to drink!
When he saw the golden lion stare at him like that, Shi Hao gave it a bit.
Then, the golden lion screamed miserably, rolling all over the ground, its appearance as miserable as miserable could be, entire body about to explode!
"Bitter! It hurts!" The golden lion screamed, its roars like thunder, rolling all over the ground.
At the same time, Shi Hao felt strange. When he raised his head, he discovered that the thatched cottage appeared again, the short mountain, the metal palaces, medicinal fields, everything returned to normal.
Apart from this, there was a white-clothed man smiling gently, sitting before him, two dao children behind him.
"I have said that this tea isn't something normal people can drink." He said with a smile.
The white-clothed man reached out his hand, tapping the golden lion. It coughed out loudly, a few sparkling droplets landing on the ground. Only then did it recover, no longer in pain.
"Senior!" Shi Hao said with a trembling voice.
"It is time for you to leave. Once all worldly affairs are cast aside, return here for a chat."
This time, Shi Hao grabbed that piece of jade, no longer hesitating. When he got up, everything returned to normal again, this place becoming a desolate land, only bones behind him.
"My body has already passed on, what is gone will always be gone in the end."
This was the voice Shi Hao heard before he left.
The golden lion shivered inwardly. It carried Shi Hao on his back, running with everything it had even without being given an order, rushing into the distance, leaving this life restricted region!

Chapter 1738 - Heart Set on Speeding Home
The golden lion really was scared badly. It was just a skull, unknown just what age this existence was born in, it refined a cosmos into a lake, able to transform the past and present into a dream, it truly was horrifying.
It crazily sped forward, moving as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it crossed hundreds of thousands of li, much faster than its normal speed.
Shi Hao was also thinking to himself, caressing the jade piece in his hands. It was extremely old-fashioned, an ancient article. He stored it away.
It was just a head, not a true body, yet it already taught many immortal level experts, all of them heaven warping figures of different generations. He really was extraordinary.
Of course, what Shi Hao cared about the most was the dam the lord of the restricted region had previously visited. He went in, moreover returned alive, this was extremely shocking.
Based on what he knew, everyone who went there had already died, not a single person came out alive.
"Only, his injuries were too severe, still dying in the end." Shi Hao released a light sigh. In the scenes he saw not long ago, that white-clothed man's appearance when he crawled out of the dam was still fresh in his mind. His entire body was covered in blood, body unstable.
For even the lord of a restricted region to fall to this extent, that place really was too shocking. In the end, he died, his remains left in this miserable ancient land.
When a powerful individual's flesh was destroyed, even if only a drop of blood remained, they could reforge their body. However, this type of powerful restricted region lord instead directly lost his life like this, this type of injury really was terrifying after all.
When they left far enough into the distance, when he turned around again, everything behind him was quiet, layers upon layers of mist filling that place, returning to primal chaos, no longer in view.
"Really is strange!"
The golden lion was in doubt. It tried walking a few steps, but discovered that he actually got lost, feeling dizzy, hard for him to continue. In the end, it couldn't find the path anymore.
"Which way should we go?" It became nervous. It discovered that the world around it was hazy, extremely dusky, making it confused and disoriented, losing his sense of direction.
Shi Hao was shocked. He didn't lose his sense of direction, able to clearly see the distant radiance, as well as the mist behind him.
Was it because of the jade piece? Shi Hao produced it, throwing it onto the ground. Then, he discovered with shock that he also felt confused and disoriented, the world itself turning.
He raised his hand, quickly fetching the jade piece, now understanding what was going on.
"Don't stop, just continue forward." Shi Hao said.
"That seems to be the way back." The golden lion said with uncertainty.
When Shi Hao heard this, he knew that it was now completely confused.
"Don't ask too much, just go straight."
Sure enough, after continuing for five hundred thousand li, everything finally returned to normal. He saw the sun, the birds and beasts, completely breaking free from that strange region.
When the golden lion stopped again, carefully turning around, it discovered that a great river surged behind it, cutting off its path back. Moreover, there was lava that covered the earth and other things.
It was stupefied. When it rushed in this direction, it definitely didn't see these landforms, this was extremely strange.
It knew that even if it continued searching, there was no way it could approach that life restricted region anymore. It was located in primal chaos space.
Dong!
In the distance, intense sounds rang out. There were some giant mountains that collapsed, rubble rushing into the sky, smoke and dust everywhere, extremely sudden.
"Father, mother!"
Shi Hao was alarmed. It was because he saw a warship rushing through the mountain range, causing many mountains to break apart.
What happened?
With a sou sound, the golden lion rushed out, quickly bringing Shi Hao towards that area.
Shi Hao leapt off, arriving on the warship, seeing them.
"My child, you've returned!" Qin Yining released a sigh, now completely calming down. Before, they were extremely nervous, fearing that something unexpected happened to Shi Hao.
Soon afterwards, Shi Hao understood what happened. After Shi Ziling and Qin Yining left with the children, they rushed into the distance, sending the children to a safe place, they had Yun Xi watch over them, while they themselves came back to look for Shi Hao.
Even though they knew that their cultivation levels weren't as great as Shi Hao's, as his parents, they were still too worried, following the way back out of fear of something bad happening to him.
In the end, they were just like the golden lion, once they went back, they got lost. The battleship began to toss and turn, bashing left and right.
"Alright, let's leave this place. Don't come back here after, there is a mysterious domain surrounding it. This is a life restricted region." Shi Hao explained.
A hundred thousand li out, they met Yun Xi, as well as the children with nervous expressions on their faces. All of them were safe.
When they saw the warship, as well as the golden lion and Shi Hao on it, the group of children cheered, all of them calming down.
"Come on, all of you should get on."
When the group of children heard this, they were like a group of little monkeys, quickly rushing onto the warship.
Some of the children had only started walking, their ages extremely young. They were swept up onto the ship with a wave of Shi Hao's hand.
The warship continued forward. When they arrived in an inhabited area, they finally knew where they were.
"Heaven Region!"
The lower realms had eight regions, separately heaven, earth, mysterious, void, space, outer, flood, wasteland.
They were also called the eight great prisons!
"This is Heaven Region, there used to be a life restricted region here! However, no one in the higher realms knew!" Shi Hao said with a sigh.
"Could it be that it is precisely the restricted region of Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, forced into the lower realms' Heaven Region?" Yun Xi asked.
There was a high chance, after all, after leaving Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, that stone stairway led directly to a restricted region in the lower realms, the two ought to be connected somehow.
"Perhaps!" Shi Hao nodded, but the significance wasn't that great.
The warship moved through the sky. It was absolutely massive, as if a dark cloud was moving through the sky dome. Soon afterwards, it penetrated a 'realm wall', hurrying towards the other ancient regions.
This level of warship from Heavenly Deity Institution was something an elder personally refined for Shi Hao, so it naturally had immeasurable divine might, able to cross over realms.
Mysterious Region, it belonged to one of the eight great prisons. Of course, this was for those of the higher realm. For those of the eight regions, it was an extremely powerful ancient region.
When Shi Hao and the others moved through the void, after passing through the realm walls, they arrived in this region.
Mysterious Region had Western Sect's foundation in the lower realms, Immortal Mountain's descendants, both of them top level inheritances.
However, Shi Hao and the others were merely passing by, not preparing to 'pay them a visit', nor did they want to stop. Their hearts were set on speeding home, wishing to return to Stone Village as soon as possible.
If they were passing the Kun Peng Nest, divine river where paper boats drifted, Western Tomb Realm, and others, he might make a stop, but right now, he was rushing forward.
Weng!
The void trembled. Another large ship appeared, the two almost colliding.
This ship was quite tastefully designed, extremely brilliant, divine birds and vicious beast void images swirling about it. These were the embodiments of bone texts used to protect the ship.
It looked rather valiant, as if it was the ship of a king.
However, compared to Shi Hao's ship, there was no need to even think about it, not even of the same order of magnitude. However, in these lower realms, it was already quite special.
At the same time, Shi Hao's warship was rather ordinary looking, just a bit bigger. When one really sized it up, there wasn't anything too special about it.
The main thing was that when he arrived in the lower realms, he carefully controlled it, or else, if he operated it at full force, it would definitely release powerful fluctuations at the Self Release Realm.
If that happened, the skies would fissure wherever they went, the nearby mountains and rivers all crushed, unknown just how many creatures would tremble in fear.
"Who?"
On the other side, someone shouted from that richly ornamented great ship.
Shi Hao stood at the front of the ship, not speaking. He felt a wave of emotions inside, he finally returned!
This world lacked complete natural laws, its suppression towards him minimal. If he took action here, his power would be magnified many times over.
These mountains and rivers, for him, seemed too brittle.
The origins of those people on the other side were clearly not small, at the very least, could be considered a great power in Mysterious Region. When they saw how absent-minded the other party was, a bit stunned, they immediately felt a bit annoyed.
"Hey, youngster, why are you blocking our path? Don't tell me you guys want to stand in our way?"
Even though it was an elder, his temper was fiery, loudly shouting out.
"Oh, my apologies. We were just passing by, unintentionally doing so." Shi Hao snapped out of it, nodding towards the individual on the other side.
The golden lion rolled his eyes, expression unkind. If it was the one responding, it would have just crushed that entire warship with a single claw, who was blocking who?
However, Shi Hao had long warned it that unless necessary, it should not act viciously in the lower realms.
"Uncle Feng, what's wrong?" A gentle voice sounded. Several maids followed a young miss to the front of the ship.
This young lady was extremely beautiful, a rare beauty. She wore a golden dress, now standing at the front of the ship. The corners of her dress fluttered about, making her look graceful and moving.
There was a rhomboid imprint between her brows, a pair of jade horns in her hair, looking like a dragon girl.
The young lady raised her head to look at the large ship on the other side, even more so seeing the young man at the front of the ship. She was immediately stunned, not daring to believe her eyes.
"You… you are…"
After many years had passed, that young man was still delicate and pretty, not changed that much, only growing a bit taller, becoming more and more heroic and refined. His eyes were still just as bright.
"Shi Hao!" Finally, she shouted out with great certainty!
"Shi Hao, that Shi Hao?"
"The legendary Little Stone?"
At the bow of the ship, a few people immediately released cries of alarm, all of them staring at the young man on the great ship.
"Correct, he is… the Little Stone!"
"There is no mistake, I've seen him in the Void God Realm, it is definitely him!"
"Heavens, it really is the Little Stone! Why did he appear? Did he return to the lower realms?"
"I've met him before while accompanying the young miss in the past, he is the Little Stone!"
At the bow of the ship, a group of girls chattered on, shocked and excited.
Even the elder called Uncle Feng was stunned, in disbelief as he stared at that youngster.
"Princess Qianqian, it's been a while." Shi Hao said, revealing a startled expression. He didn't expect to meet an old friend so quickly.
Mysterious Region, even Western Sect and Immortal Mountain established their sects here in the lower realms. Compared to the other regions, it was superior.
Princess Qianqian was one of Mysterious Region's ten great beauties. Back then, when a direct descendant of Immortal Mountain's Qin Clan chased after her, he had previously had conflict with Shi Hao.
After so many years passed, Princess Qianqian didn't change that much, still beautiful, her beauty moving and otherworldly. Right now, her small mouth was in an 'o' shape, as if she was looking at a ghost.
"Didn't you head into the higher realms? You could still return?" She felt that this was inconceivable. Even though she was beautiful, right now, she was still a bit stupefied, a bit of a blank expression on her face.
"Who am I? The legendary heaven warping supreme being, where can't I go to? I missed home, so I came back." Shi Hao said frivolously.
Those people completely believed now. This was precisely the Little Stone, just like the legends, his skin thick, narcissistic, and loved to eat, liking 'female fatties'.
Only after a long time had passed did Princess Qianqian snap out of her daze. This was too shocking! The legendary Little Stone came back after running into the higher realm.
"Little Stone, I wish to invite you to my clan as a guest." Princess Qianqian's large eyes flickered brilliantly, flowing with light, inviting him to her clan.
"I just returned today, so I need to return to Stone Village first. Please wait for a bit of time." Shi Hao said that he had to return to his home first.
He laughed and said, "If you are free, you can come to Desolate Region's Stone Country to look for me."
"Okay, I will come for you soon!" Princess Qianqian nodded, carrying an expression of happiness.
Soon afterwards, they separated, the two warships moving through the void again.
That day, news of the Little Stone's return spread throughout Mysterious Region, shocking every clan and sect. Everyone didn't believe it at first.
This was truly explosive news!

Chapter 1739 - Return to Stone Village
The warship was extremely fast, like a streak of transient light as it cut through the sky. When the divine light was released, many people in Mysterious Region mistook it for a falling star.
Soon afterwards, the warship tore through the realm wall, starting to cross through another region.
Desolate Region, they finally arrived, returning to this familiar land.
The warship stopped, floating in the sky.
Shi Hao stood at the front of the ship, overlooking the boundless great earth. The land was vast and boundless, ancient trees towering from primitive mountain forests.
This was a great wilderness, most of Desolate Region like this. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called Desolate Region.
Shi Hao took a deep breath. Compared to the higher realms, the spiritual essence really was extremely thin, unable to provide the body and soul with essential nutrients.
However, Shi Hao didn't feel the slightest bit disappointed, his heart calm, feeling a type of satisfaction, feeling moved and blessed.
It was because he finally returned!
This was a familiar feeling, the homeland he cherished.
He had left this great earth for many years. When he carefully added it up, it had been more than a decade already. He really did hold this place dear to his heart. Now, when he looked at this world, he felt incredibly fulfilled.
Shua!
Shi Hao's figure rushed out, leaving the bow of the ship, rushing towards the great earth, descending from tens of thousands of zhang, stepping onto the great earth with a peng noise. He grabbed a clump of earth, and then raised it up.
"I've returned!"
Shi Hao roared out. Even though this was the great wilderness, it still belonged to Stone Country's border, as well as a path he had walked through before, connected to Stone Village.
"Follow behind me, I'm going first." Shi Hao shouted, and then he rushed into the forest.
It was because he was scared that a massive warship moving over the sky would disturb Stone Village. That was a pure land, a place of refuge, aloof from worldly affairs. The villagers were too simple and down-to-earth.
He wished that place eternal peace, this was his heart's natural harbor.
At the border of the great wilderness, the plant life was luxuriant, many vicious birds and savage beasts roaming about, all of them wild descendants, the larger ones comparable to mountains.
Back then, when Shi Hao was still a youngster, he had personally crossed this great wilderness, constantly facing trials of life and death, having to avoid all types of powerful ancient beasts and vicious birds.
Now, when he walked through this great wilderness, he seemed to have become a great humanoid vicious beast, all of the divine birds and others avoiding him.
Aohou…
A golden-winged divine ape jumped out, its body massive, several zhang tall. It had a pair of golden wings behind it, its wide mouth full of fierce teeth. It threw itself at Shi Hao.
This was a beast king, no one its match within a range of thousands of li. All of the birds and beasts bowed down before it.
When it saw a humanoid vicious being walking through this place, making all beasts flustered, it leapt out, attacking Shi Hao.
"Even a little monkey dares act wildly. You should just come back to Stone Village with me to guard the gates." Shi Hao reached out his hand, pressing out. Five-colored multicolored light was released, directly restraining it.
He carefully examined it, revealing a strange expression. He actually recognized this creature! Back then, when he was passing through the mountain range, he had even hidden from it. At that time, he was extremely weak, still a child.
Now, more than a decade later, he could easily capture this divine ape.
When he thought of the past events, and then about his experiences over the years, Shi Hao felt a strange feeling. He felt blessed, but also bitter.
Back then, he was only eight or nine years old, yet he already dared rush into the great wilderness, bringing his brother Qingfeng with him as he ran around, hurrying to Heaven Mending Pavilion to enroll. He really was quite daring back then.
Shua! He tossed the divine ape onto the warship a hundred li out, extremely accurate.
Shi Hao moved through the mountain forest with large steps. This was a path he had walked on before. He was searching for his past memories, only, things were completely different now.
Along the way, he didn't need to hide, didn't need to avoid certain areas. That was why from time to time, there were some vicious beasts who attacked him. However, just by releasing a bit of his aura, all of the kings of the forest would flee.
Along the way, he saw a few giant beasts. Being able to survive while making his way through the great wilderness in the past really wasn't easy. After all, back then, he was still young, his cultivation insufficient.
Shi Hao began to release his divine awareness, searching this great wilderness, wishing to see if there were any especially powerful creatures.
Yi?
He really did discover something, revealing an expression of shock. There were experts who lit their divine flames here?
A deity level existence!
One had to understand that there weren't many people in the entire Desolate Region, especially later on, after that great purge, all deities disappeared, no longer in this world.
Shi Hao's expression became serious. With a flash, he rushed into a mountain range nine hundred li out, wishing to see just what kind of creature it was exactly.
After all, there was Stone Village in this great wilderness. A deity level existence appearing here would most likely be a great threat.
He was extremely worried. After all these years had passed, did Stone Village experience something?
This was an elegant and refined place, water vapors rising. A silver waterfall descended from the mountains, roaring as it poured into a pool, producing mist, making the spiritual essence here hazy.
A black creature lazily laid on a large limestone on the shore, one leg crossed over the other, extremely relaxed, currently throwing roasted fish into its mouth, basking under the sunlight.
Shi Hao immediately had a strange expression on his face. It was too familiar, he recognized this fella.
This was a large black tortoise. It was really big, many times larger than even a millstone, entirely pitch-black. It had a lazy appearance, extremely comfortable and relaxed as it laid there.
Why would an ordinary tortoise do this? It laid there, limbs that long, able to even cross its legs, this kind of appearance really didn't make it look like it was of the good sort.
"Third Blackie, why are you hiding here?" Shi Hao said.
He naturally recognized this fella, it was the tortoise who ran down from the higher realms. Back then, Shi Hao captured it, turning it into a mount. However, when the seven deities stirred up chaos, it ran while Shi Hao faced the enemies.
Later on, Shi Hao wasn't able to find it, in the end leaving for the higher realm.
"A ghost!"
The black tortoise's body immediately went taut, the movements too quick and swift. Its arms and legs reached out, while carrying that 'big black pot' on its back, it quickly ran.
"What are you screaming for, did you already forget about me?" Shi Hao shot it a look of disdain.
This rascal ran even faster than a rabbit back then. When he risked it all against the seven deities, this black tortoise was running with everything it had.
"How is it possible for you to be here? Heavens, a ghost! Just hurry and leave!" The big black tortoise screamed, turning around and running.
Peng!
How could it get away? Shi Hao grabbed its neck with a single motion, dragging it over, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth. "I'm hungry, feel like having some tortoise soup. You just happen to have a black pot on you, it really saves me the trouble of fetching one."
"Big bro, please spare my life! It really is you! I have eyes but fail to recognize Mt. Tai, I thought a bastard was pretending to be you!" The big black tortoise's face really changed quickly, immediately revealing a lowly smile.
"A bastard? Are you cursing me, or are you cursing yourself?" Shi Hao stared at it, not pleased at all.
"Cursing myself." The large black tortoise hurriedly slapped its own mouth. Its tortoise arms were extremely long, movement nimble to the point of leaving one speechless.
"Big bro, how did you come back? I really am shocked to the point where my soul almost left my body, which is why I spoke so irresponsibly. You are a magnanimous great figure! I was too shocked, and also extremely curious. I never thought that after ten years, I would still be able to see your great self!"
"I'm not even as old as you, still in my prime. The twenties are the golden age!" Shi Hao rolled his eyes.
The big black tortoise really was shocked. Even though its expression was exaggerated, one could tell that it really was absolutely horrified. It never would have thought that it would see Shi Hao again like this.
At the same time, it was extremely speechless, inwardly apprehensive. Why did this master come back again?
Back then, when Shi Hao left the lower realms, it had cheered loudly, screaming that this world belonged to it.
It was because at that time, its strength was great, could be considered a top level figure under heaven. Once Shi Hao left, who could still restrain it?
"Why are you here?" Shi Hao asked it.
"I'm obviously looking for Stone Village." The big black tortoise blurted without thinking. Then, it immediately regretted it greatly.
"What are you trying to say? Back then, when I was here, you ran. Now, you are sneaking around alone, looking for Stone Village? What are you trying to do?" Shi Hao stared at it.
"Big bro, you absolutely must not misunderstand! Because I admire you so greatly, even more so yearned for Stone Village, I was prompted by a sudden urge recently, which was why I earnestly searched around here with the mindset of making a pilgrimage." The big black tortoise's hands moved together, making a devout gesture. Only, those small eyes were moving around, selling out its true intentions, its face looking extremely lowly.
"Don't tell me you want to disturb my old nest, attack Stone Village?" Shi Hao's eyes were fierce.
"I'm being accused wrongly! I wouldn't dare even if I was beaten to death! Forget about big bro still reigning powerfully in this world, even if I rushed there, there is a good-for-nothing monkey there, so I wouldn't dare act recklessly." The big black tortoise said loudly, doing its best to beat its chest, express its sincerity.
"Who are you calling a monkey?" Shi Hao spoke out in the Zhuyan's place. This was one of the glorious, most powerful archaic clans, yet it was called a good-for-nothing by this black tortoise.
"Ah, right, I spoke wrong, that is a great monkey! No, Zhuyan, he is quite strong." The big black tortoise acted cockily.
"Enough already, stop speaking nonsense." Shi Hao looked at it and said, "Since you want to go to Stone Village, I'll bring you there."
The big black tortoise's face immediately became like a bitter melon, completely sunken. It directly clenched its teeth. Back then, it even ran, so now, how could it be willing to be controlled by another, follow behind this little demon?
"What is the meaning of this?" Shi Hao shot it a look of disdain.
"I was just too happy, too moved! When I meet big bro, it is simply like meeting my own mother, about to shed tears of joy! Let's go! I will follow big bro to Stone Village! Us brothers need to properly have a drink, won't go back until we are completely drunk." The big black tortoise put on a moved to tears act.
"You scoundrel, really don't know how to speak properly." Shi Hao directly slapped it, and then warned, "My parents are in the back, when the time comes, you better not call us brothers, you hear?"
The big black tortoise cried out, "What is wrong with turtles, what's wrong with tortoises? This is a natural race, could it be that we cannot be brothers with a human?"
Pa!
Shi Hao directly slapped the back of its head again. "Back then, you became my mount, yet now you are showing off?"
"Of course not! Alright, we'll call each other brothers only when no one is around!" The big black tortoise shrunk its head, hiding into the 'big black pot'.
Along the way, they moved quickly. Shi Hao didn't make any more delays. He already reviewed the path from before, now hurrying straight to Stone Village.
He could finally see it from the distance. A village was resting in the great wilderness. That place was extremely peaceful, like Shangri-la. It didn't change, still there.
Shi Hao's eyes began to turn sour, almost shedding tears.
After all these years, he felt joy, happiness, but also grief and helplessness.
During this period, he always hid his true emotions. Even when he faced his own parents, he didn't reveal them, only now did everything from deep within leak out.
In the battle of Desolate Border, Great Elder died, his conclusion tragic, blood dyeing the skies. Huo Ling'er was brought away together with Sin Province, life or death unknown, falling to the other side.
Outside Imperial Pass, there were no more battles, it seemed like they won.
But in reality, they lost. So many people died, so much blood was shed. In the end, the battle only came to an unexpected conclusion.
They could be considered defeated, leaving with regrets and sorrows.
Great Elder's death, Huo Ling'er and Sin Province's capture, how could Shi Hao not let this weigh himself down, how could he forget these things? It was just that he hid them at the bottom of his heart, not talking about it.
He wanted to return to the lower realms, return to Stone Village. This was a type of subconscious escape, wishing to return and heal.
Now, he finally came home!

Chapter 1740 - Warm Stone Village
He was home. Shi Hao's eyes were red. Only after standing there quietly for a long time did he calm down slightly.
"Big bro, let's go! We're here! Who would have thought that this place would be this beautiful! Wow, there is a herd of Heavenly Horses there! They are snow-white and brilliant, not even a strand of mixed fur. Oh my goodness, there is even one with dragon scales, moreover not normal dragon scales!" The big black tortoise cried out.
Pa!
Shi Hao gave the 'black pot' a smack, its body shaking until it rolled its eyes. Just the release of a bit of Self Release Realm fluctuations was enough to make it go unconscious.
"Behave yourself, don't make a big fuss."
Shi Hao walked forward. When there was still several li left to the village, he felt extremely warm inside. He finally came back, it really wasn't easy.
Not far out was an expanse of mountains. When he passed through this place, he made a brief stop. Back then when the Little Stone's name spread throughout the entire world, the entire lower realms in uproar, he had been buried here for roughly a year.
"I wonder if the five-colored sparrow is still here." Shi Hao really wanted to understand its origins.
It was because the reason he was able to revive that time was greatly related to some seeds it brought over, planted in the grave, making this place flourish with life force, allowing him to rise from the dead.
The five-colored sparrow was extremely mysterious. Ever since Shi Hao could remember, it had already been in the village, disappearing from time to time.
If one was to ask who could bully Shi Hao, it would be the only one. When he was young, he failed every time he tried to chase after the five-colored sparrow, often falling, and then making him cry as a result. When he got bigger, he still couldn't catch that strange little bird.
He was now close, he could see the villagers.
Precisely where the village was, some people were coming and going. They were just too familiar, the hunting team returning from a rewarding journey, bringing many giant vicious beasts back into the village.
Were those his childhood companions, was it Dazhuang and the others? They were large and tall, now already the leaders of the hunting group. They grew up!
In front of the village, there were many willow trees planted, gentle and sparkling green.
Were the villagers still reminiscing about Willow Deity? There was an altar where it took root before, becoming the most sacred area, no one occupying that area. Were the villagers still hoping for its return?
It was extremely lively inside the village.
It was because the hunting group returned.
A few children ran around, all of them some little fellas from three to ten years old, full of activity. However, Shi Hao didn't recognize a single one of them.
These were definitely children that were born after he left, all of them energetic, bodies strong. Even children who were very young could jump high into the air, stronger than their parents.
Shi Hao arrived at the head of the village, a big black tortoise following behind him.
The big black tortoise walked on two legs, behind it a big black pot, its arms and legs long, appearance rather intimidating.
"Ah, a monster entered the village! Hurry and defeat the monster!"
"What monster? We have the great formation Willow Deity left us, all monsters would be chased off. You children shouldn't make trouble." There were adults who berated.
"Really, come and look! There's a big turtle even darker than donkey poo, fangs bared, eyes widened. It's coming!" A three-year-old child shouted.
At the front of the village, the big black tortoise was beyond angry, its dark face about to turn green.
It really was baring its teeth and glaring out, but it was because this little brat really didn't know how to talk. Even though it was a black tortoise, they couldn't call him big turtle like this, right?
Encountering Shi Hao was one thing, it admitted its defeat, yet these little brats were also making noise, really making it glare out.
This was especially when it heard the following commentary, darker than donkey poo, making it want to immediately vomit blood.
Inside the village, there were men and women, young and old surrounding the hunting team. Now, there were finally some who turned around, looking towards the village entrance.
In that instant, the village became quiet, everyone stupefied, as if they became petrified.
The villagers all looked over, every one of them finding it hard to open their mouths as they looked at that person at the front of the village.
A youngster, his figure tall and straight, appearance delicate and handsome, looking like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old stood there. His face was gentle, eyes clear, now walking over step by step.
So many years had passed, now more than ten years already, yet they could still see this face, meet this person. The adults all felt themselves going stupid, not daring to believe what they were seeing.
Only the children were confused, full of confusion. Some of them became nervous, raising their heads and tugging at the adults' clothes, nervously asking, "Mom, is he a big monster? Are uncles and the others scared? Why aren't they saying anything."
"Grandpa, is that a human form big monster? Even its servant is so dark and vicious. He can even walk through the formation, enter our village, this is too scary!" Some of the children revealed expressions of fear.
"The little guy!" Finally, someone shouted, moreover running towards the head of the village.
There were some adults who directly scolded their children, "What monster? This is your uncle! The uncle who fought his way into the higher realm alone!"
"Little brats, who taught you to speak such nonsense?!" There were some who directly slapped the bottoms of the brats at their side.
Everyone now rushed over, this place becoming extremely noisy. Everyone shouted loudly, especially the group of robust young men in their twenties and thirties. Soon afterwards, Shi Hao was thrown into the air.
"Is this real? You… actually came back!"
"Let me take a bite. This really is flesh, not fake!"
"Brat, you left for more than a decade at a time, now showing up so suddenly like this!"
"Little guy, hurry, let me take a look, let me see how you've changed!"
The group of people were too worked up. His childhood companions pushed to the very front, surrounding Shi Hao. They felt as if they were dreaming, truly not thinking that they would be able to see him today.
There were others who shouted his childhood nickname -- little guy, extremely intimate.
Shi Hao's nose felt sore, hot tears pouring down. This type of feeling really was great. He returned, and now met so many of his loved ones. After wandering for ten years outside, all of the disappointment, frustration, powerlessness and regret completely vanished. He felt a warmth spreading from head to toe, full of spirit.
What Desolate Border's blood shed, return of defeat, what watching as those he was close to departed, separated by death? All of these things were pushed away.
Right now, he only felt warmth. Those negative feelings, the bitterness, the difficulties, all of it disappeared, thrown aside. He was truly extremely happy here.
"Wowowow, you are that legendary little uncle?"
A group of little fellas were currently pulling at Shi Hao's trousers, raising their heads, their little faces full of excitement, eyes about to go blind from smiling.
"Heavens, he's alive! The legendary uncle appeared, awesome!" Another four or five-year-old little fella treated Shi Hao like a big tree, starting to climb on his body.
"Is this true? This is the Little Stone uncle? He defeated all enemies under heaven, and then in the end, he ran into the higher realm to be a disaster, I'm too happy, I was able to meet the legendary Little Stone uncle!" Another child jumped and hopped, cheering, face full of excitement.
Shi Hao was speechless. Just what were these kids taught? He even became known as a disaster in the lower realms? However, when he carefully thought about it back then, he really did give quite the few major powers headaches, a troublesome individual.
"Haha, this really is too great! Who would have thought that us brothers would meet again one day! I thought that you were already pursuing the immortal dao in the higher realms, that you wouldn't return." Dazhuang was now already almost a zhang in height. He slapped Shi Hao's shoulder, giving him a bear hug, eyes full of tears.
"Exactly! I heard that after one headed into the higher realm, coming back down is too difficult, almost impossible. Who would have thought that us brothers could meet again in this life!" Ermeng was also extremely excited.
Pihou, Huzi, and the others were also like this, their eyes all red. They now met their childhood companion again after ten years. How could they forget Shi Hao? If not for him, how could Stone Village be in its current state, spiritual medicines everywhere, becoming stronger year after year, no one outside daring to attack it?
"Child, let me take a look. You've grown big, now even taller than uncle! Only, you really are a bit too feminine, still like a child, your face didn't change at all." Shi Linhu walked over.
"Haha, this really is too great, our Little Stone came back!" Shi Feijiao patted Shi Hao's chest.
These two were the past leaders of the hunting group. Now, they already left their duties, handing them over to Dazhuang, Huzi, and the others.
Shi Hao really was happy, his eyes slightly red. He paid his respects to the older generation.
A group of aunts came over as well. When they heard the news, they all moved out, even more enthusiastic, pinching his face, pulling at his arms, their skin thick to the point where Shi Hao's face couldn't help but become slightly red.
"That child, where is he?"
At this time, the older members of the village came as well. When they heard the news, under the support of the children, a group of elders hurried over, their steps not that steady, hurrying to the village entrance.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Chief!"
Shi Hao screamed out. He pushed aside the crowd, rushing over, immediately supporting an elder at the very front. It was precisely the old clan chief Shi Yunfeng, as well as the one who raised him up.
"Child, you finally came back. I didn't think that I would be able to see you again in this life!" The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng was extremely moved, tears tumbling down his aged face.
He didn't have children, never taking a wife in the village, but he raised Shi Hao up, treating him as his own. Right now, these emotions were hard to suppress.

Chapter 1741 - Reunion With Clansmen
When Shi Hao saw the old clan chief shed tears, his eyes also became red, emotions too strong. He continuously called out 'grandpa', helping the elder wipe away his tears.
Shi Hao was raised by the old clan chief through beast milk, and now, he saw that his hair already had some white color. His nose couldn't help but become sour.
"Grandpa, are you still well? I missed you so much, I came back to see you!" He supported Shi Yunfeng.
Fortunately, even though the clan chief was older, his posture was still rather healthy. Even though he was an elder, having some more white hair was still normal.
In the past, even though Shi Hao was young, he didn't hold back on bringing precious medicines, vicious beast meat and other things back to the village, so the villagers' bodies were all extremely strong.
"Excellent, excellent, excellent…" The elder continuously repeated this word, his voice shaking, extremely moved. Being able to see this child again left his heart with no more regrets, feeling incredibly fulfilled.
He originally thought that he would never see him again in this life. After all, they were separated by the lower and higher realm, it was hard to move between the two.
Shi Yunfeng held Shi Hao's hand, looking at him again and again. Even though his eyes carried tears, he was also smiling, feeling incomparably fulfilled and gratified. His child had finally grown up.
"Being able to see you return alive really makes grandpa very happy. I never thought that this day would suddenly come." Shi Yunfeng laughed.
Dazhuang spoke up, telling Shi Hao, "Grandpa Chief really misses you, often standing at the front of the village, staring into the distance. Even though he never said it, we all know that he was staring into the mountain path, hoping to see you suddenly appear one day."
"Exactly, Grandpa Chief has always been thinking about you even after all these years, often sitting at the front of the village in a daze." Huzi also added.
"Grandpa, I will stay behind for a very long time! Even if I leave again, I will come back often!" Shi Hao's eyes felt sour. He couldn't help but shed tears.
"Haha, what are you crying for? Today is a happy occasion, it could be said to be a great surprise. You stinky brat finally decided to return, giving us such a surprise. Go, go, go, let's drink in the village until we are satisfied!" Shi Linhu shouted.
"This brat really grew up. Look, he's even taller than us." A group of uncles walked over, pulling on Shi Hao's arm, touching his head.
As for the group of youngsters, they were pulled to the side. Dazhuang, Huzi, Ermeng, Pihou, and the others, even though they were all grown up now, before their own fathers, they were still well behaved. When pushed to the side, they could only stand there like mice before cats.
"Uncle, Little Stone uncle, you are unmatched under the sky! This time, you have to teach us skills, we also want to travel the world, defeat everyone!" A child cried out.
"No problem!" Shi Hao laughed loudly, immediately picking him up, placing him on his shoulder.
"I also want! Little Stone uncle, hug me too!" A three-year-old snot baby shouted, also wanting to go up.
Shi Hao chuckled, placing him on another shoulder.
As a result, the group of children were all jumping around in a lively manner, as if they were a group of monkeys, running around his body. They were all just a few years old, but their bodies were strong.
Shi Hao was drowned under a group of children.
Even the old clan chief smiled, backing up, giving them space.
"You little brats!" Shi Linhu and Shi Feijao scolded while smiling. They could scold Dazhuang, Ermeng, and the others, manage them strictly, but towards these children, they were rather helpless, hard for them to be stern.
Everyone was extremely enthusiastic, entering the village.
Ermeng's father gave the big black tortoise behind him a look, patted Shi Hao's shoulder and said, "After all these years, your style hasn't changed at all! Coming back is one thing, yet you even brought back such a large living prey. However, this black old turtle really is a great mending medicine. When we go back, we'll throw it into a pot and get some nice soup out of it, it'll be enough for everyone in the village to drink."
The group of robust men all nodded.
In the back, the big black turtle immediately erupted into cuses.
It really wanted to berate loudly, but when it saw Shi Hao's expression, it had no choice but to swallow everything back down, unable to act out.
In the end, its dark face became completely green, had to find its own stage to introduce itself. "I have to say, menfolk, you should know that I am the great Black Tortoise! The one who was unstoppable under the sky for all these years, rarely met his match, that person is precisely me!"
"This type of big tortoise really is rarely seen." Someone said, completely ignoring its words, just too crude.
The group of robust men all nodded, only caring about whether or not this turtle was going to be delicious or not.
The big black tortoise now began to panic, really fearing that Shi Hao would stew it up out of consideration for these people. It was because it personally witnessed how savage Shi Hao was in his fiendish years, he was also a foodie himself.
"Uncles and grandpas, don't scare me, you guys should know me! Back then, I brought the Little Stone everywhere under the sky! I am the renowned Black Tortoise, Third Blackie!"
In the end, it had no choice, it had to shout out the name Shi Hao gave it.
"What? You were that turtle that ran?"
There was someone who glared out. It was because when Shi Hao dealt with the chaos of the seven deities in the past, this turtle really was cunning, running away.
"Really a lowly bastard!" Someone glared at it.
The big black tortoise immediately wilted, not daring to act rashly here anymore.
It knew that this village was not simple at all, that there was the formation established by the legendary Willow Deity, as well as the deity level Zhuyan, a Vermilion Bird descendant, and others, it couldn't provoke them.
"Where is Hairy Ball?" Shi Hao asked.
Now that he returned to the village, he still didn't see Hairy Ball and Little Red. That creature had already lit its divine flame before he left, entering the divine level.
"Hairy Ball great one is extremely free and easygoing, wandering the world, often drinking with those ocean clan giants, great desert kings. It would only come back once in a while." A child said.
As for the little red bird, there was even less of a need to talk about it, it would only make a trip here once in a while to study Willow Deity's formation. It usually resided in Fire Clan's ancestral land.
Right at this time, everyone stopped, actually making way for someone.
Shi Hao immediately became stupefied. This was a chicken, not all that brilliant, earthen yellow, extremely ordinary-looking. It strode over in a just and brazen manner, having everyone in the village make way for it.
Octadic Treasure Chicken!
This fella really had an infuriating appearance, walking through the streets just like that, forcing everyone to move out of the way for it.
Moreover, when it saw Shi Hao, it only gave him an indifferent look, and then tilted its head upwards, slowly strolling around arrogantly like that.
"Heh, a chicken like you even dares rebel?!" Shi Hao glared out. This chicken really was trying to defy the heavens, actually disregarding him.
This was just too arrogant! It was nothing more than a chicken. Even though it was one of the archaic octadic delicacies, it was treating itself as too big of a deal! After all these years of not seeing him, it was actually still this calm, completely ignoring him.
"It really worked hard all these years, every single egg it laid is comparable to a spiritual medicine, making all of the children in the village strong like little bulls." Someone said.
One could see that they were grateful towards this chicken, giving it preferential treatment. Otherwise, they wouldn't have moved out of the way for it.
In reality, the Octadic Treasure Chicken really was extraordinary, its contributions to Stone Village great. Because the food was good, the egg production quick, all of them spiritual medicine level, that was why the children became so strong and healthy, its value great.
"It's fine, this time, I found some companions for it, I guarantee that it'll lower its head, won't be so arrogant anymore."
When Shi Hao spoke up to here, he produced a beast skinned pouch, undoing the rope around the opening. This was a spatial magical artifact, able to store living things.
Pulengleng!
There were several chickens that fell out, all of them let out, Octadic Treasure Chickens, male and female included.
The villagers were immediately stupefied. For them, these were divine birds, able to produce spiritual medicine eggs endlessly, establish foundations for their children, great mending medicines even for adults, ones that could promise longevity!
"There are male ones too! Doesn't this mean that they can give birth to chicks, raise a large group of Octadic Treasure Chickens?" Someone cheered loudly.
"Of course, even if we wanted to eat them in the future, it wouldn't be a problem." Shi Hao said.
He was just saying it, the villagers definitely wouldn't agree.
In the Nine Heavens above, he knew that he was going to leave, return to the lower realms, so he had many people buy treasures for him, there was even less of a need to talk about divine medicines. The Octadic Treasure Chickens alone numbered six or seven.
Only in the Nine Heavens above would one be able to buy so many at once. After all, this species was almost extinct.
The main reason was because the great powers were giving Heavenly Deity Institution, as well as his glorious self face, that is why they agreed to exchange them.
In the distance, the Octadic Treasure Chicken that was proudly and slowly strolling suddenly turned around. When it saw its own species, it immediately widened its eyes, flapping its wings, loudly crying out, throwing itself over.
"Go, you can bring them to get used to this place." Shi Hao released several Octadic Treasure Chickens, having them reunite.
Suddenly, bird cries sounded from the distance. Three figures quickly rushed over like dark clouds, covering a larger half of the skies. These were powerful vicious birds.
Shi Hao frowned. There was this type of vicious creatures near Stone Village? They were extremely large, covering the heavenly sun.
However, immediately afterwards, he smiled. It was actually them, they all grew up.
Several giant birds descended from the distance, swooping towards Stone Village. Their bodies shrunk, turning into the size of ordinary people.
Otherwise, Stone Village's streets definitely couldn't hold them.
"Ah, Shi Hao, it's Shi Hao! He came back!" They cried out.
"Big Peng, Little Green, Violet Cloud!" Shi Hao also shouted out.
These were three vicious birds who grew up with him, the Green Scaled Eagle's descendants. However, they had all mutated, more like peng birds when they were young. Now, their transformations were great, bloodlines pure.
"Where is Aunt Green Scaled Eagle?" Shi Hao asked.
"She's cultivating in seclusion far away." Little Green replied. It quickly rushed over. The three birds were too excited.
Big Peng's feathers shone, as if cast from gold. Little Green's entire body flickered with metallic luster, while purple multicolored light rose from Violet Cloud. All of them were dazzling, extremely powerful.
They always resided in Stone Village, viewing the villagers as their own, protecting the villagers in the great wilderness when they went hunting, moreover often bringing back rare and powerful vicious beasts for them.
"Willow Deity's help really wasn't in vain back then." Shi Hao praised. He was extremely close to them, rubbing their necks. It was as if he returned to his childhood. These were close companions who he grew up with.
In the past, Willow Deity had helped them wash their fur, cleanse their marrow, allowing them to retrace their ancestry. Now, as they grew, they became more and more powerful, their bloodlines pure.
Shi Hao knew that with their current aptitudes, they were extremely suitable for cultivating the Kun Peng Technique!
"Aiyou, a ghost, who am I seeing?" Right at this time, a voice sounded from the skies. A fiery red big bird flew over, incredibly excited. It simply didn't believe its eyes.
It was precisely the big red bird. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, throwing itself at Shi Hao, wishing to knock him down.
"Where is that Second Baldy brother of mine? Why didn't he return from the higher realm with you?" The big red bird cried out.
This fella really was a good for nothing. Back then, it had been bullied badly by Second Baldy, but in reality, Second Baldy really was its senior, just that it ended up losing all of its hair.
"This really is a rare reunion." The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng was all smiles, stroking his beard, extremely happy. "Let's go, hurry and get Qingfeng back here, tell him that his big brother has returned."
Qingfeng was now Stone Country's emperor.
Back then, Shi Hao swept through all enemies, becoming Stone Emperor. In the end, he handed the position of emperor to Qingfeng.
Qingfeng suffered greatly when he was young, a foot even ruined, almost crippled. Everything he suffered was in Shi Hao's place.
Shi Hao always felt like he left him down. He always treated him extremely well, the two close, basically blood brothers.
"Uncle Qingfeng encountered some problems recently. Now, everything will be fine. Little Stone uncle returned, lets see who dares stir up trouble now!" A group of children cried out.

Chapter 1742 - Promise
Stone Village was extremely lively, full of cheers and laughter.
A group of uncles raised wine jars, breaking the seals, wine flowing everywhere, the fragrance making everyone swallow their saliva.
The aunties and others prepared food, all of them great delicacies. The wild game made everyone drool with desire, bright red, golden fruits' fragrance refreshed the mind.
The children ran back and forth like a group of monkeys, extremely lively like vicious beast children.
The cheeks of the elders in the village were rosy, full of laughter. They were unable to conceal their happiness in this enthusiastic scene, this place full of a festive atmosphere.
"There are quite a few young vicious beasts in the village." Shi Hao said.
He saw Lightning Hounds, Twin-Headed White Lions, Li Flame Calves, and others, all of them fierce, running about, becoming the children's companions.
This proved that the developments in the village in recent years went extremely smoothly. They could catch vicious beasts, moreover raise them, this meant that this place was powerful and prosperous.
There were some vicious beasts that had long matured, staying outside the village, in charge of protecting the village, also helping with hunting. Shi Hao could still recognize some of them, they were the ones he helped the children catch in the past.
Some of those young vicious beasts died, but some of them grew up, becoming loyal war beasts, controlled by the big red bird, Violet Cloud, Big Peng and Little Green.
"Uncle, do you still remember me? When you were in your teens, I was five. You brought us kids to the mountains to catch many beasts. Look, some of the little beasts in the village are precisely their children!" A teenage youngster ran up.
"I do remember you, haha!" Shi Hao patted his shoulder.
The village was full of happiness.
Shi Hao looked into the distance, seeing that warship. Sure enough, it slowly followed, now gradually approaching.
"Grandpa, my parents have also returned from the higher realm." Shi Hao told them.
When the adults and elders heard this, they were all shocked.
"Where?" Ermeng and the others raised their heads, all of them looking over.
"Hurry and receive uncle and aunt!" Dazhuang urged.
"Over there!" Shi Hao pointed. A massive ship slowly arrived from the distant skies.
"What a big ship!"
"It is even bigger than Uncle Qingfeng's!" There were children who shouted.
Some children were brought into the great wilderness, welcomed into Stone Country by Qingfeng to foster them. After all, always staying in the mountains wasn't too good, so they had come into contact with these things.
"Apart from them, there are many children as well, several hundred of them. I want them all to stay behind in Stone Village, build some stone cottages for them outside the village." Shi Hao explained a step further.
"Ah, there are that many?" The villagers were shocked. They didn't expect Shi Hao to bring back so many children.
It was because in the past, they were extremely opposed to outsiders coming here. The villagers could leave, but they couldn't bring in trouble, fearing that outside clans would be jealous of this place.
"Their bloodlines are from the same source as ours, many of the Stone Clan's people, some of the others the Desolate Border Seven Kings' descendants."
Shi Hao summarized some things for them. There was no way to immediately talk about everything in detail, he had to first receive those children.
"Our Stone Clan's people?" The villagers were shocked.
However, they finally knew these people's rough backgrounds, so they didn't reject them. On the contrary, the adults all revealed different expressions, full of happiness, laughing loudly.
"From here on out, we don't have to worry anymore! We were just about to be anxious that the younger generation will grow up, worried for their marriage partners. Now, so many of our own people came back, we can now completely relax!"
Some elders even more so laughed loudly, feeling like a great problem was solved.
Stone Village wasn't large. If the clansmen always intermarried, there would be all types of problems.
It was still fine before, they would marry with other tribes, but now, Willow Deity moved Stone Village, leaving their original location, isolating them from the world.
If they continued to intermarry, they had to look for outsiders.
However, how many people were willing to enter the great wilderness? At the same time, the villagers were quite worried. This had always been a great issue. Once the children in the village grew up, there were some of them who had different bloodlines, able to marry in the village, but many of them could only rely on some kind children Qingfeng brought back.
The great ship descended outside the village. A group of children rushed out, the play of monkeys climbing everywhere appeared again.
They didn't treat them as outsiders at all, too lively. Only when they saw the hundreds of children their age, did they become a bit bashful.
As for the children from Desolate Border, their eyes all widened. Normally, they didn't see enough laughter and smiles, remaining quiet, all of this because of that terrifying environment.
"Alright, lead your new companions down from the ship, take good care of them." Shi Hao ordered. The group of lively monkeys all shouted, leading the way.
"Aiyou, you aren't even as tall as me, why are you stronger than me?" A lively individual from Stone Village cried out.
They were born in the great wilderness, so these children desired strength. Even these children were very competitive. There were some little fellas who began to 'size up' these quiet children from the ship, but in the end, they were surprised instead.
Shi Hao smiled. What kind of place was Desolate Border? It was the cruelest place. These children were born in the original Emperor City, what they witnessed were the most intense battles, every one of them incredibly sturdy.
It could be said that these children had much greater potential than the disciples from great long life families, seeds produced from the most nasty environment, the descendants of Desolate Border's Seven Kings.
"When you all grow up, I will establish the world's number one sect for all of you, this is my promise!" Shi Hao laughed loudly and said, "I don't want anyone who is weak."
This line was also spoken for Stone Village's children, to motivate them.
"Will we be able to rule over the Nine Heavens?" The Desolate Border children asked.
"Of course. This includes Immortal Domain, the other side, and even those mysterious powers from great eras past!" Shi Hao said while smiling.
There were some things the children didn't understand, but Shi Hao still said it. These were his plans.
Yun Xi stood on the side, inwardly shaken, incredibly shocked. This was Huang's dream?
However, wasn't Huang crippled? His cultivation was going to completely disappear within a month, so how was he going to carry out such a grand scheme? Yun Xi didn't understand.
"Uncle, what are you saying? What enemies are there?" The village's children asked.
"Big brother, are we going to fight the other side in the future?" A youngster from Desolate Border asked.
…
"In the future, we will challenge all sides. The other side and Immortal Domain, the war drums will sound At that time, who cares which great era your inheritance is from? Whoever dares to cause trouble, I will knock all of them down!" Shi Hao was still smiling.
However, Yun Xi found it hard to calm down.
"When the time comes, the most powerful of you all, or maybe out of several generations, I will only choose eight hundred. This will be an army of descendants, we will challenge the world, carry out a great era war. Let's see who is settling things with who!"
He couldn't speak these words in the higher realm, because that would stir up too great of a storm. However, in Stone Village, he could shout as he wished, laugh and cry out as he pleased.
The children were all giggling like little wolves, crying out, shouting out.
"Great era war, we will dominate the heavens above and earth below with uncle!"
"What settling of accounts, what monsters? All who dare step out, we will just stew you, eat you all!"
These children shouted, all of them clenching their fists, vowing that they had to properly cultivate to not lose face for Shi Hao.
The didn't know the deeper meaning behind the words they shouted, nor did they know many years it would be. When they grew up and became powerful beyond compare, then looked back at that time, only then would they understand just what kind of choice they made back then!
"My child, you…"
Shi Ziling and Qin Yining walked over, both of them revealing looks of worry. They were inwardly scared. Now, they were naturally aware of many things, fearing that they would lose Shi Hao.
It was because they understood what their oldest son was saying well, what kind of path that was.
That was even more difficult than defying the heavens!
The events of great eras past, heaven knew just how terrifying the karma it was that was buried, just what kind of creatures would reappear? Once clues were revealed, that would become the greatest storm of history, blood soaking all worlds!
That cultivation level, that level, once a fight erupted, it would be unimaginable.
The true darkest era hadn't even started yet, yet the past immortals were already gone, those alive ruined, let alone when the true event came.
"Father, mother, you all don't need to worry, I am just saying these things." Shi Hao consoled them.
The clues that had been revealed after all this time, Shi Hao naturally knew them. The so-called iron hooves of the other side would arrive sooner or later. At that time, it would be blood and chaos.
At the same time, he believed that this was only a primer, in the end, it would be even more terrifying.
If the monsters of several great eras really were led out, it would be unimaginable!
That was why from the start until now, he wanted to work hard and cultivate, strengthen himself. He wouldn't think about anything else, only continuously break through. Only by doing this could he rise up and face them when the great changes of this world arrived!

Chapter 1743 - Renovating Stone Village
"Uncle!"
A group of children swarmed over, paying their respects to Shi Ziling. Dazhuang, Ermeng and the others had met him before.
"Hello auntie!"
They similarly greeted Qin Yining.
This couple had came to Stone Village before. Back then, when Shi Hao's life was in danger, nursing himself here, they had resided here for a long period of time.
"Haha, brother, sister, you two have come."
Stone Village's people were extremely welcoming. Shi Linhu, Shi Feijao and the others greeted them. As for the little fellas, they all became well behaved, seriously calling out 'grandpa' and 'grandma'.
The couple were both happy, enthusiastically greeting everyone. At the same time, Qin Yining's expression became complicated. She already became a grandma? Just how many years passed? She felt like she was still rather young!
Perhaps women were all like this, regardless of whether they were pretty or ordinary, they all hated time, loathed the flow of the years. Time was their greatest enemy.
"Hmm, isn't this that…" Ermeng looked towards Yun Xi.
A group of people came over. They naturally saw the exceptional young lady with purple hair, no need to doubt her beauty. She was known as Celestial Clan's number one beauty, her skin like fine jade, eyes clear like autumn limpid waters, figure soft and slender, truly exceptional.
"The fatty from back then!" Pihou directly shot his mouth, crying out, but soon afterwards, he covered his mouth.
In the past, Shi Hao had brought Yun Xi and also Huo Ling'er here. The clansmen had a deep impression of them. The two women were exceptional, different from the children who grew up in the great wilderness.
The village flower Huniu also came, standing nearby, her temperament directly opposite of Yun Xi's, bold and valiant like a female leopard, while Yun Xi was like the flower of a nation.
Even though the villagers' esthetic perception was severely distorted, viewing strength as most important, they still could sense that Yun Xi's gentleness was even more moving than Huniu.
"Sister-in-law!"
Dazhuang, Ermeng, Pihou, and the others all adjusted themselves, greeting Yun Xi, their way of greeting the same, immediately making Yun Xi's face flush red.
Even though her appearance was tranquil and otherworldly, this type of greeting still left her shocked. This… really was too direct and blunt.
"I'm not…" She quietly explained. Not only did her sparkling white face turn red, even her bright ears flushed.
When he saw this scene, Shi Hao was inwardly shocked. He thought of some old events. Back then, when he first met Yun Xi, they fought fiercely.
In the end, he was completely shameless, the two wrestling and rolling all over the ground. He bit the other side's sparkling ear, too frivolous when he was young. The past events made him chuckle to himself.
"What? Still not a sister-in-law?" Dazhuang bumped his arm into Shi Hao, quietly asking.
"I have to say, little guy, Huniu waited many years for you back then. If you still aren't going to get married, Huniu will regret marrying early." Ermeng said.
Sure enough, Huniu stared over, her eyes penetrating!
"Ah… haha… this is my wife, in the future, call her Yun Xi, sister-in-law is fine as well." When Shi Hao saw Huniu look over, he hurriedly pulled Yun Xi close.
Yun Xi's face was red, quietly scolding, "What are you randomly spouting?!"
However, she didn't struggle too much either. Regardless of whether she came to the lower realms to take care of Shi Hao, or if it was to give him face right now, she didn't refute it too strongly.
"You really are his wife?" Huniu spoke out, her expression still sharp.
This girl had grown up, her figure sturdy. Normal adult men weren't her opponent at all. She was one of Stone Village's great experts.
"Of course, why wouldn't she be?" Shi Hao pulled Yun Xi into his arms, placing an arm around her shoulders.
He inwardly wiped at his sweat.
"She doesn't look sturdy at all, not pretty enough. Her legs are long enough though, but too skinny, arms also too soft, doesn't look all that strong. Her face is too white, not a healthy color." Huniu said.
When Yun Xi heard this, dark lines almost appeared on her forehead. Just what kind of standard was this?
"Exactly, she isn't as healthy and beautiful as you, I just barely accepted her reluctantly, passable, just someone to keep me company in the future." Shi Hao really had an urge to run right now.
Meanwhile, Yun Xi became completely speechless!
"Haha, let's go back to Stone Village! It's so rare to have so many people together, we'll properly hold a celebration! All of you are good children!" Shi Linhu called out.
The old clan chief and the others waited at the village entrance. Shi Ziling and the others hurried forward, paying their respects to the clan chief, feeling sincere gratitude towards him. If it wasn't for Shi Yunfeng, there wouldn't be a Shi Hao today.
"Uncle, your uncle looks quite strong, its fur all golden like satin. Is this vicious beast for us to eat, or is it like the big black turtle, a mount?" The village's youngsters asked.
"It's probably quite delicious though." Ermeng's son, who looked around four or five also said naively.
On the side, the golden lion's veins immediately popped. If it wasn't for Shi Hao shooting it a look, it really would have opened its bloody mouth, let these little brats see just who it was who would eat who!
It was clear that Stone Village's bloodline were all foodies. Otherwise, Shi Hao wouldn't have been like this ever since he was little. This was a tradition!
Shi Hao roared with laughter. "Haha, we'll just raise this lion for now. When it doesn't listen well, I'll roast it for you all, let you eat lion meat."
"Oh! Okay!" The group of children cheered, meaning that they were waiting for lion meat to eat.
The golden lion really was so angry its teeth were aching. It was the glorious Fearless Lion, able to dominate the world as a king on the other side, yet in this small village, it was actually plotted against, others wanting to eat it!
"Uncle, can we ride it for a bit? I want to see if it is faster than Little White and the others." There were children who asked with a hopeful expression.
"Of course!" Shi Hao nodded. Then, he warned the golden lion to behave.
A large group of children surrounded it. Ever since they found out it was Shi Hao's mount, they were all extremely curious, wishing to see just how formidable the vicious beast their little uncle subdued was.
It was clear that the golden lion was furious. In a fit of rage, its entire body surged with multicolored light, sweeping up all of the children, bringing a large group of children with it as it rushed out.
Only a few people sat on its back, the others were all swept up by the light, following it, moving about like a streak of lightning.
"Moving this quickly, there won't be any issues right?" The group of adults were stupefied.
"It's fine!" Shi Hao shook his head.
Multicolored light scattered about. All types of delicacies were prepared in the village. Everyone sat together, chatting while preparing delicious food.
Shi Hao brought back too many good things. Unfortunately, there were many things the villagers couldn't even use.
For example, the vicious beast meat were Self Release Realm experts' true bodies, containing terrifying divine force essence, not many people in the lower realms dared eat such a thing.
However, they didn't go to waste either. The old clan chief prepared several big cauldrons, letting Shi Hao stir a dao flame, helping refine it, turning it into soup. After it was diluted, it would be used to help the children strengthen to nourish the children's bodies, strengthen their muscles and bones.
"Grandpa Chief, there's no need to use it so sparingly. I prepared too many of these types of divine birds and fierce beasts! Not even just the children, you all won't be able to finish them all even if everyone enjoyed them." Shi Hao said.
He personally set his hands at it, watching over the others to prevent the divine force in the meat from being too rich for them to handle.
Even more people could only drink some diluted soup.
The prey the villagers brought back from the great wilderness was no longer that domineering. They could eat and drink as they wished, this place extremely lively.
Neighhh!
A house cry sounded, carrying some dragon sounds. A snow-white Heavenly Horse rubbed against Shi Hao, asking for wine to drink. It was precisely the leader of the unicorns, Little White.
When Shi Hao was seven, he had previously left Stone Village on its back, rushing through the great wilderness towards Stone Country.
Ever since this unicorn obtained Willow Deity's baptism, its transformation was too great. Its body became snow-white and brilliant, its hair long, falling like a silver waterfall. Apart from this, all of its scales had been shed and regrown, becoming like dragon scales!
Its wings were powerful, stirring forth great winds when flapped.
No matter how he looked at it, Shi Hao felt like it was like a Heavenly Horse, not a unicorn anymore. It was the same as the Heavenly Horses that pulled the ruined immortal's chariot!
In reality, the ruined immortal's Heavenly Horses weren't true bodies. Only afterwards did he learn that they were Heavenly Horse bones the ruined immortal found, revived through great magical force.
Now, true Heavenly Horses might have gone extinct, only if one went to Immortal Domain would they find them!
In the distance, wind and lightning hacked about, golden light pouring like a sea, rumbling and surging. A lion was running, returning from the heavens.
Stone Village's people were alarmed, only now understanding just how terrifying that lion was. He was far above the divine level.
The golden lion descended. The children all got off, making pilipala noises, all of them like dumplings as they fell onto the village's meadow, almost vomiting, retching there.
"Too… fast!"
"Just a bit of effort. We made a trip around Stone Country, visited every corner, even saw Uncle Qingfeng's palace…" A child said with a deathly white expression, almost throwing up.
It was because the golden lion's speed was too fast, a bit too hard for them to handle. Their legs were all a bit soft, their faces pale.
"Child, this lion is…" An elder asked.
"This is a race that could claim dominance as a king, a great disaster in Desolate Border." Shi Hao began to tell them some things of the higher realm.
Starting from the topic of the golden lion, he began to tell him his experiences during the recent years.
Everyone's attention was immediately seized. They felt nervous and excited, because Shi Hao's experiences were too abundant. He was in danger many times, went through quite a few difficulties.
There were some teenage girls who began to cry when they heard of his troubles and difficulties.
However, Shi Hao didn't speak about his own troubles in too much detail, just skimming over them, instead focusing on more interesting things.
"Ah, the higher realm not only has holy medicines, there are divine medicines, and even long life medicines?! These things are pretty much impossible to find in the lower realms!" The clansmen said with a sigh, yearning for it greatly.
"Here, I brought back quite a few good things. Haha, this is precisely a divine medicine!" As if Shi Hao was putting on a performance, he brought out a stalk of divine medicine. The entire village immediately became full of medicinal fragrance.
"Ah, this is a vine, only the roots left!"
"It is a divine medicine?"
Everyone was curious, crying out in shock at the same time.
"Of course, I'm a Void Sky Divine Vine." The old medicine already spoke up. Divine medicines had spiritual consciousness, able to communicate. It was something Shi Hao brought back from the three thousand provinces' battle of geniuses.
"There are more." Shi Hao laughed, continuously bringing out several stalks of divine medicines. Before returning, he had spent quite the effort collecting them.
Immortal Academy gifted him one stalk, Sacred Academy another. Of course, there were the ones from back when he explored Immortal Ancient Battlefield and other places.
The villagers were stupefied. These were but divine medicines! Even without eating, just enjoying its fragrance would grant longevity, increase their lifespans.
Let alone the benefits to their cultivation. They were unimaginable!
At the very least, for the children and cultivators of their level, these were priceless divine treasures. Just these stalks alone were enough to remodel Stone Village into a great land of natural luck!
This was enough, let alone the fact that Shi Hao was still bringing out more of them. He had more!
"There is more, this is a Heavenly Deity Tree, this is really good stuff, can directly create a heavenly deity. I managed to dig out two of them." Shi Hao said, his face full of smiles.
The villagers were stunned, already petrified from joy. He even had this type of heaven-defying thing?
"But our spiritual essence here is thin, a single stalk of divine medicine is enough to suck up all of the essence of the great wilderness. How are we supposed to live?" The old clan chief said.
"I brought back a special type of earth called All Life Earth, even the Burial Kings use this type of earth, there is absolutely no problem for nurturing divine medicines, so it's perfect for growing medicine in the village." Shi Hao said.

Chapter 1744 - Putting Everything In Order
The lower realms, comparatively, had much thinner spiritual essence, couldn't produce any divine medicines at all.
Of course, this didn't include the so-called First Spiritual Root. That thing was hidden in the lower realms by an archaic great figure, definitely a stalk of immortal medicine. Unfortunately, it was brought away.
Otherwise, this time, Shi Hao would have gone there to dig out that First Spiritual Root no matter what!
Apart from this, there wasn't a single decent stalk of divine medicine even if the eight regions were scoured, only a few stalks of holy medicines, no way for them to advance further. In the end, the environment was not suitable.
Shi Hao felt that those stalks of holy medicines might all be divine roots!
He suspected that if he dug them out and brought them back to Stone Village to raise, they might produce their original appearances, become rare divine essence.
In the village, there were already some spiritual medicines that released brilliant splendor, their medicinal fragrance wafting out. Living year-round in this type of condition was extremely beneficial to their bodies.
In the lower realms, a single stalk of divine medicine needed a spiritual mountain's nurturing, and only then would they grow.
Meanwhile, inside the endless mountain peaks, having a single spiritual mountain was already pretty good.
The reason why Stone Village could nurture so many spiritual medicines was because Shi Hao had previously brought back some special sand from the Hundred Shattering Mountains, divine earth soaked in Unaging Spring[re]Previously Immortal Spring, changing to reduce use of the word 'immortal'/ref, exuberant life force within it!
"This peach tree is not bad, it's definitely good stuff!" Shi Hao saw a silver peach tree in the village, snow-white like silver. Its branches were like dragons, only half a person tall.
This was also something he brought out from the Hundred Shattering Mountains. Originally a holy medicine, but the roots were divided, thus falling to becoming a half holy medicine.
"If there is a chance, I should make a trip around the Hundred Shattering Mountains again."
Shi Hao said to himself. He always felt like that place was full of mysteries, that it was an extremely special place. This time, he had to properly investigate the lower realms.
When he thought back to the Hundred Shattering Mountains, Shi Hao's thoughts couldn't help but wander. That was the first time he clashed with others in the Desolate Region, facing off in a mysterious place.
That was also where he caught Second Baldy, captured the big red bird and met Huo Ling'er. Of course, it was also where he 'wrestled' Yun Xi.
Apart from this, he also fought, but eventually made friends, restraining a Nine-Headed Lion, in the end becoming sworn brothers. Now that he came back, he was naturally going to pay them a visit.
Without a doubt, the silver peach tree's mother body should be a stalk of divine medicine, but because of the environment, it couldn't display its true self.
In the end, he stroked a sparkling little stone in his hair, the Divine Striking Stone!
This fella's origins were strange, also coming from the Hundred Shattered Mountain Range's little world.
"The Unaging Spring is definitely extraordinary. Even in that type of environment, it could produce supreme treasures on the level of divine liquid and higher!" Shi Hao said to himself. Back then, he only obtained a few drops, the true Unaging Spring turning into a dragon and escaped.
Even the Divine Striking Stone who was so lowly, staying there year-round, wasn't able to obtain it after scheming for endless years.
Apart from this, there was a stalk of Sentience Flower. Now that he thought about it, it was more powerful than many divine medicines, able to grant plants, stones, and other things sentience, bestow consciousness upon them.
Just how heaven-defying of a thing was this?
Unfortunately, it ran back then!
"Was it because it was being suppressed? That Sentience Flower might be that place's most precious thing!" Shi Hao's thoughts went wild, really wishing to immediately rush to the Hundred Shattering Mountain Range.
Just that moment of thoughts made Shi Hao feel like there were many places in the lower realms worth exploring. Hundred Shattering Mountains, Kun Peng Nest, Wall of Gods and Devils, Western Tomb Realm, and others.
This was especially true for the paper boat folding woman. This time, perhaps he might be able to follow that divine river into another realm, see some heaven-shocking things.
"Hey, little uncle, you're becoming distracted. What are you thinking about?" A little girl bouted, shaking his arm in dissatisfaction.
"Oh, I was thinking about some events of the past in the Hundred Shattering Mountains." Shi Hao casually replied.
Not far out, when Yun Xi heard this, her face became red. Shi Hao inadvertently just happened to see it, and then laughed, saying, "You are also thinking about that place?"
"Go die!" Yun Xi was embarrassed.
The children immediately erupted with noise, crying out with oh oh sounds.
Shi Hao immediately knew that the other side definitely recalled his past hoodlum self. He couldn't beat Yun Xi, so he continuously got closer, biting her ear with everything he had.
Haha…
The atmosphere in Stone Village was lively.
The villagers drank large bowls of wine, eating large mouthfuls of meat. The adults all came here to compete, continuously touching cups.
During this process, Shi Hao drank while eating, helping the children dig holes, guiding them in planting those holy and divine medicines.
In the end, the elders couldn't sit still anymore, jumping out one after another, their movements even more nimble than the youngsters. It was because they were all anxious, fearing that the divine roots would be damaged.
"Slow down a bit, these are divine medicines! Don't harm the roots!"
"Little brats, don't touch the leaves, stay away from the flowers! Be careful or else I'll slap your butts until they bloom!"
In the villagers' eyes, there was nothing more precious than these things. These were priceless treasures, a single stalk of divine medicine even more precious than an entire country!
"It's fine, divine medicines are definitely not that frail." Shi Hao said magnanimously.
Back then, he chewed on them like radishes, experiencing something like this, so he wasn't scared of any of these things, not feeling that divine medicines were that rare and precious.
In reality, these divine medicines all had spiritual consciousness, long developed sentience for countless years. Unfortunately, they couldn't use this to cultivate and become strong.
Sure enough, when the children had just set their hands to this task, a few stalks of divine medicine began to run.
"Aiya, it's running, hurry and catch it!" Someone panicked.
At the same time, they were stunned. This was… too extraordinary! It exceeded their imaginations. The medicinal herbs could speak and run on the ground!
"It's fine, they are just choosing their own holes."
Shi Hao believed that they wouldn't run. The All Life Earth was here, as long as he promised them that their roots wouldn't be harmed, they wouldn't leave even if he chased them out.
All Life Earth, this was something even Burial Kings needed. If one was able to use this to nurture themselves, plant their roots inside, then they would gradually flourish.
There was even less of a need to talk about divine medicines, this was something they desired even more.
There were two Heavenly Deity Trees, both of them overflowing with brilliance, releasing dense spiritual essence, as well as great amounts of multicolored light, making this place seem like an immortal realm, like a wonderland.
Shi Hao told them to show a bit of restraint, now to show off too much, or else this place would look too extraordinary.
Originally, their branches were complex and leaves luxuriant, towered into the clouds, able to cover the entire stone forest, but now, they all shrunk to less than the height of a person, taking root at the heart of the village.
Regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Deity Tree or the divine medicines, they were all distributed All Life Earth, enough to allow them to grow and prosper.
"Even though the fruits on this Heavenly Deity Tree are heaven-defying, they cannot be picked yet right now." Shi Hao warned.
Whenever a fruit was picked and eaten, one could immediately achieve the heavenly deity level of cultivation, possessing inconceivable divine might.
However, he had previously heard that there were four Heavenly Deity Trees total in this world, that they were originally four main roots. If they could be merged once more, they would return to their former self, become a world-shaking Heavenly Immortal Tree!
At that time, once its fruits were eaten, one would attain immortal dao status.
In reality, even if these two Heavenly Deity Fruits were to merge together, the fruits would also become extremely heaven-defying, but Shi Hao felt like it still wasn't the right time.
It was a small homeland, yet it had been remodeled by Shi Hao into a divine land. This region's spiritual essence became so rich it wouldn't dissolve, making one's body incredibly comfortable, bones possess even more life force.
Under this type of life force, one's constitution would improve even if they didn't try. It was the same as slowly strengthening the body and soul. Given enough time, everyone would slowly change.
Shi Hao carefully examined this place. This quality of the spiritual essence here was exceptional, or perhaps it could be considered divine dao aura, already exceeding the spiritual level.
It really was the case. This type of extravagant layout, even the long life families of the Nine Heavens weren't more than this. What was missing were only the complete great dao laws.
However, with the villagers' cultivation, there was no need to consider so much at all. This type of natural laws was an environment that was enough for them to cultivate to a profound level.
Apart from this, the formation Willow Deity established might have also replenished many great dao laws.
Right now, the only one he had to think about was himself, how was he going to cultivate!
"I will find a way. Perhaps I should be a bit more fierce with myself, completely undo all of the shackles, sharpen myself in the cruelest environment, cultivate in primal chaos!"
"Why hasn't Qinfeng returned yet?" An elder asked.
As soon as he said this, the village's altar flashed with multicolored light, and then a youngster returned. This place could link up with Stone Country's imperial palace.
However, it wasn't Qingfeng, but rather the youngster who went to send the message who came back
"There is a dragon circling outside Stone Clan's imperial palace, blocking and challenging Uncle Qingfeng." He gasped for breath.
"Oh? There is this kind of evil dragon, wishing to trouble Stone Country?" Shi Hao was shocked.
"Uncle Qingfeng said that it might be a True Dragon!" The youngster was breathing heavily.
"Is that so? I was going to make a trip there anyway, so I'll pick Qingfeng up." Shi Hao downed a large bowl of alcohol.
"I feel like eating a dragon!" The Fearless Lion grinded its teeth. It was because not long ago, it really was angered by the group of brats, now wishing to vent its anger.
Before the villagers could say anything, Shi Hao disappeared with the golden lion, vanishing through the altar.

Chapter 1745 - Young Human Emperor
Only a few people could use this altar. It led straight into the depths of Stone Country Imperial Palace.
This place was extremely quiet, because without Qingfeng's permission, no one was allowed to get close. This was to protect the secret, prevent the information of this path leading to the outside world from being leaked.
At the same time, even if someone really tried to come here, they needed to grasp Stone Village's precise coordinates, and only then could one activate this altar, reach Stone Village.
The spacious great hall was just like before, not changed in the slightest.
Shi Hao had previously spent quite some time here, tussling with various powers, quelling Stone Clan's inner conflict, and then dealt with external enemies, wiping out the allied armies of different clans.
He really was very brave in the past. His cultivation level wasn't high, yet he dared fight great inheritances, moreover making them taste bitter defeat one after another.
He recalled many people from this place. War King, Ming King, Peng King, and those other elders, were they still well? Back then, they treated him extremely well, seriously assisting him.
That was why before Shi Hao left, he repaid them with his gratitude, refining some Little Nirvana Pills, raising their cultivations to the Supreme Expert Realm so they could protect Stone Country's peace.
Only, this time, when he returned to Stone Village, he heard some news that Stone Country wasn't so steady, that there were some troublemakers.
It was because there were some powers who wanted to assist the true Stone Country Emperor's direct line of descent!
Even though Qingfeng was someone from Stone Country, in the eyes of some from the conservative camp, he was from a branch family, a bit far from the emperor bloodline.
"Before leaving, I refined priceless precious pills, created some supreme exerts. I hope you all did not disappoint me!" Shi Hao said with a cold voice.
He believed that War King and Peng King wouldn't be against Qingfeng, they weren't that type of people. It was also precisely because of supreme experts like them that Qingfeng could stably hold the position of emperor.
Of course, those who secretly wanted him overthrown might also feel restraining fear towards the hidden Stone Village.
It was because in some people's eyes, that place was extremely terrifying. The Little Stone came from this place, Willow Deity previously left this place too. Most importantly, that place might have a deity level Zhuyan.
Shi Hao heard that the reason why there was a disturbance was because the other side also found a deity level existence.
"Even this shoddy palace has the nerve to be called an imperial palace? It's just like a fireplace back home, let alone compared to that of the other side's Emperor Clans." The golden lion curled its lips.
Dang!
Shi Hao's foot almost made it lay flat on the ground. It immediately shut its mouth.
"No matter how capable you were, didn't you still end up as my mount in the end?" Shi Hao didn't feel the slightest bit of restraining fear towards it, because he felt like if it wasn't loyal, he really would just eat it.
He had a shortcoming that he was never able to change, which was he liked to try different food. This was such a powerful bloodline, a rare Fearless Lion, so it naturally met his criterion of 'rare delicacy'.
The golden lion immediately lost all of its confidence, unable to even feel hatred. It was because it was completely suppressed. It couldn't show any hatred at all, could only obey.
It always stirred itself on, telling itself that it was enduring humiliation for a greater cause, that it would get revenge sooner or later, that it would one day step on this scoundrel.
Only, it now began to suspect that recently, it became more and more obedient, already almost becoming a habit. This made it worry, worried that it really might see this as something normal, in the end completely bow down.
However, the only thing that made it happy was that Shi Hao suffered the curse of a ruined immortal. Based on normal reasoning, he shouldn't be able to run around for much longer, about to be crippled soon!
"Sigh, that damned contract left by the immortal king, how am I supposed to get rid of it?" The golden lion thought to itself.
If it wasn't for that contract, it felt like its spring would have been near.
Footsteps echoed out. Shi Hao walked out, startling the guards. They were all extremely vigilant.
"You… you…"
In that instant, within the guards, there were a few who were immediately stupefied, so shocked they almost couldn't speak. Their eyes widened, stammering here.
"Stone Emperor!"
"Young Human Emperor!"
Finally, a few people cried out, incredibly moved, their chests rising and falling greatly, simply unable to believe their eyes.
In the past, Shi Hao used his own strength to restore peace to Stone Country, suppress all rebels, and then dealt with outside enemies. Those who experienced those events were left with too deep of an impression.
These people knelt down one after another with putong putong sounds.
There were some guards who came later, not recognizing Shi Hao. Right now, they all became stupefied. Why would they call a youngster human emperor?
They all found it a bit hard to understand. They had their own human emperor, it was Qingfeng. Why was this the case now?
Time didn't leave any traces on Shi Hao's face, still like a decade ago, incredibly delicate and pretty, just that he grew a bit taller. However, he still looked like a youngster.
"Who is he?" The other guards were confused.
"You still aren't showing your respects? This is the past Little Stone, the past Stone Emperor!" A guard shouted, warning the others.
The two words Little Stone, were even more famous than the name Shi Hao.
When the others heard this, fists could be shoved in their gaping mouths. They were incredibly shocked. This was the past Young Human Emperor?
He… didn't he ascend the stairway to heaven, only able to slaughter his way into the higher realm? How could he appear here now?
Everyone already knew that once one chose that path, entered the higher realm, they wouldn't be able to come down again. However, this youngster established another miracle that belonged to himself, appearing again!
"Your Majesty!"
These people all knelt down, incredibly moved. It was because for them, this youngster was a miracle, just too great of a legend.
Back then, the Little Stone shook the world with his power, dominating all enemies, in the end, he fought with the seven gods from the higher realm, even winning. It was simply unimaginable.
Even though many years passed, even though the Little Stone left, his title was still circulating about.
This was also one of the reasons some restless schemers in Stone Country felt restraining fear. The Little Stone suppressed Stone Country, killed many enemies, it truly left all in awe.
"All of you, rise!" Shi Hao ordered.
Then, he didn't need them to lead the way, directly walking forward. With his current cultivation, his spiritual senses were sharp to the extreme.
Forget about an imperial palace, even if it was a great wilderness, under the scan of his divine consciousness, there would be nowhere to hide. He naturally knew where Qingfeng was.
The palaces were numerous, one after the next. In a mortal country, it really could be considered massive. Moreover, there were divine level formations established here.
Only, compared to the families of the higher realms, this place really did appear a bit simple and ordinary.
Those families' palaces floated in the sky, divine islands situated in the heavens, spiritual falls falling for tens of thousands of zhang, like an immortal country's pure land.
"Qingfeng!"
Shi Hao shouted. A few people stood on Imperial City's walls, as if they were facing a great enemy, currently gazing into the skies outside the city walls. At the lead of the city walls was precisely Qingfeng in battle robes.
After all these years passed, he already grew up. Even though his face was still pretty, it was no longer gentle, his eyes carried resoluteness and decisiveness, truly maturing.
Qingfeng suddenly turned around, immediately seeing Shi Hao. His expression immediately became incredibly excited, loudly shouting, "Little big bro!"
He immediately rushed over, eyes brimming with tears, his true emotions revealed. He really was too moved. They had been separated for ten years already. Now that they reunited, meeting like this, it made him feel great happiness, feeling incredibly emotional.
During these years, regardless of what he faced, even if undercurrents brewed, eyeing him covetously, he still didn't feel fear, definitely didn't shed tears. However, right now, his eyes were brimming with tears.
Shi Hao's emotions were also extremely strong. He faced Qingfeng, eyes turning sour. After being separated for so many years, all the events of the past began to appear vividly in his mind.
Back then, he had protected Qingfeng, rushing to Heaven Mending Pavilion, it really was 'the young didn't feel fear'. Two eight or nine year old children traveled through tens of thousands of li of the great wilderness, too many things happened.
Qingfeng's childhood was extremely bitter. Under the arrangements of the elders, he was sent away in Shi Hao's place, trapped in a manor in the borders of Stone Country, basically suffering for Shi Hao.
Shi Hao gave him a firm embrace, saying, "Real men don't cry easily, don't cry!"
"Little big bro, I missed you so much! I thought that I would never see you again!" Qingfeng said, wiping at his tears.
"I also missed you all, which is why I came back!" Shi Hao said. Then, he scanned his surroundings.
On Imperial City's walls, everyone was greatly shaken, their bodies trembling. These were all important figures in Stone Country, none of them believing their eyes right now. They were seeing that person again? The young Stone Emperor!
This was especially the case for some old kings, some of them incredibly moved. There were others whose minds sunk, anxious and frightened.
What kind of place was the higher realm? It was a place one didn't return from! The Little Stone missed the lower realms' people, so he just decided to come back? When these words sounded, it could only make others sigh. The Young Human Emperor was still domineering.
Who could still come down after going up? Everyone knew that this was completely impossible!
However, the Little Stone not only came down, he was still so domineering, currently staring at them, his presence astonishing.
"I heard that there were people in Stone Country who wanted to stir up trouble?" Shi Hao asked, not hiding anything. It was because now, he didn't have to feel any misgivings!
Many people's faces immediately changed.
"There are Rain Clan's people, they seemed to have made contact with their deity." Qingfeng said quietly.
"Yi?" Shi Hao was shocked. He never expected that the Rain Clan he had beaten miserably would come out again.
In the past, Rain Clan couldn't coexist with him in this world. When his grandfather, the Great Demonic God Grandpa Fifteen returned in a rage, he previously fought a great battle in Stone Capital, suppressing those enemies.
Shi Hao knew that a few deities had come out of Rain Clan before, but this was back in the ancient times, already something from very long ago.
This clan had a spell formation, an altar, able to make their Rain Clan's deity's figure project through endless space-time, produce an imprint. In the past, this stirred up quite the trouble.
Shi Hao had experienced those events, even more so challenged a ruined decree that Rain Deity left behind.
When he went to the higher realm, he had also paid attention to this matter, investigating whether or not there was an expert like this Rain Deity, but he discovered that there wasn't one at all.
This left him quite puzzled. Just where was Rain Clan deity's projection from?
Shi Hao thought to himself. This time, he had to completely investigate this!
As his cultivation became more profound, Shi Hao already understood that someone who could cast their projection from a different realm was definitely not an ordinary expert.
"En, this really is a dragon, around it pure True Dragon energy?" When Shi Hao looked outside the city, he revealed a strange expression!

Chapter 1746 - Dragon
In Stone Capital's skies, there truly was a dragon.
Right now, when it saw a person and a lion appeared on the city wall, it arrived from the distance, reaching the outside of Imperial City.
It really was strong, rising and falling in the void, dragon body strong and powerful as if cast from scarlet Divine Gold. Scarlet multicolored light swirled about its body.
Apart from this, there was rich chaotic energy all around it, making it look even more extraordinary.
Its dragon body was ten zhang in length, not all that massive. However, this type of aura, as well as this type of power, left one moved. It just made one feel as if this was a True Dragon.
Shi Hao had experienced too much. What hadn't he witnessed before? Even the Heavenly Horned Ant that was on par with the True Dragon had been dug out, moreover coming into contact with the Fallen Blood Phoenix in the other side, extremely sensitive towards the Vicious Ten.
It was to the extent where he had even treated the pure-blooded young Qilin the Lunar Jade Rabbit carried as a pillow, padding his head. Even though the little rabbit bit him back then, the little snow-white Qilin also baring its fangs at him, he giggled, rubbing that little fella.
The Nine Heavens Ten Earths already had two immortal beast's youth, the Heavenly Horned Ant and Qilin, both of them being tossed and turned by him, so he was extremely familiar with the Vicious Ten descendants' various special areas.
Hou!
That scarlet dragon beast roared at Shi Hao, the cry ringing through the heavens, making even the void tremble, continuously rumble.
As for Imperial City's walls, they shook endlessly. One had to understand that divine level formations were in place here. This was one of Stone Country's most important places, yet this still happened.
If there was no formation, its roar would make the giant palaces collapse. This was a powerful vicious beast!
"Not simple! After I left for so many years, a few extraordinary individuals appeared in the lower realms." Shi Hao stared at that individual, nodding, releasing a light sigh of praise.
He already knew who this was, because he had seen him before.
However, at that time, the one he saw was a humanoid youngster, someone in his teens, different from his current true self.
"Little big bro, it is precisely this dragon who is standing outside our walls, wishing for me to bring it to Stone Village. It wishes to challenge all the experts of Stone Clan." Qingfeng introduced.
If he didn't agree, then this crimson dragon would attack Stone Country's Capital City, which was why Qingfeng couldn't immediately leave, could only face it here.
Regardless, there was no way he would reveal where Stone Clan's ancestral land was to avoid outsiders disturbing that place. Regardless of whether it was him or Shi Hao, they both viewed that place as a pure land, aloof from worldly affairs.
No matter what happened, they wouldn't want the flames of war to reach that place.
"Ge Gu?" Shi Hao spoke, rushing towards the crimson vicious beast in the sky.
The ten zhang dragon body's eyes flickered with ice-cold metallic luster, scarlet scales incomparably sturdy, protecting its entire body. Its five claws were sharp, able to easily distort the void.
On its head was a pair of scarlet horns, forked and powerful, flowing with great dao symbols. The more one looked at it, the more it looked like a True Dragon!
"It is me!"
This vicious beast spoke up, its voice actually still rather tender.
Shi Hao nodded. This was precisely one of the two great experts he had met in Void God Realm, Ge Gu.
Back then, when he was in the three thousand provinces, he had left Spirit Realm's gate, following the heavenly stairway down, his soul entering the Void God Realm, wishing to learn some secrets. Of course, more importantly, it was for asking Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder for the precious technique later.
He had previously continuously established records in the Void God Realm, obtaining many bronze pieces. This was for a scripture, he could exchange them for a type of unmatched secret technique!
That day, Ge Gu was going to fight a decisive battle against a youngster named Xi Gu, but then Shi Hao suddenly descended, triggering these two's discontent. They took action against him, but were suppressed instead.
"What a pity, still a bit off. I thought it was a real True Dragon." After Shi Hao examined it carefully, he confirmed that its transformation wasn't complete, not a pure-blooded dragon.
"Who are you? Hurry and get out of the way. Have Stone Country's emperor bring me to Stone Village. I wish to challenge them!" Ge Gu spoke. The dragon body moved about, stirring up powerful winds.
"He isn't willing to admit defeat to the past Little Stone, wishing to challenge Stone Clan's cultivators." War King spoke, explaining to Shi Hao. This elder had always stood at Shi Hao's side, now also assisting Qingfeng earnestly.
Shi Hao definitely felt gratitude towards this person. He smiled, placing his hand on War King's shoulder. Divine light flickered, rushing into various veins and arteries in his body, treating all of the hidden injuries.
This left War King shocked. Even though the Little Nirvana Pill helped him break into the Supreme Expert Realm in the past, it wasn't his own cultivation after all. Later on, he wanted to continuously break through, but didn't succeed, leaving him with quite a bit of hidden damage.
However, in that instant, Shi Hao's hand completely treated him, moreover raising his magical force and others a level higher, into the late stage of the Supreme Expert Realm.
"Turns out you came for me." Shi Hao laughed.
Qingfeng nodded. This was precisely the case. Even though the Little Stone left, his name was still circulating about. A few people wished to challenge him later, but he was nowhere to be found.
There were some who set their eyes on Stone Village, wishing to go there. In many people's eyes, that place was definitely special!
"Who are you? Why do you look a bit similar to the past Little Stone?" Suddenly, the crimson dragon in the sky widened his eyes, revealing blazing radiance.
"A human of the same blood lineage as the Little Stone?" It had never seen Shi Hao's true body, but had seen his portrait. Even though it didn't really pay attention, now, it still felt like it was similar.
It naturally didn't believe that the Little Stone could return, feeling like this was definitely his younger brother or something.
The main reason was because the current Shi Hao was too young. After ten years passed, he was still ridiculously delicate and pretty, like a graceful young man.
"Little Stone's clansman, come out and fight me!" The crimson dragon shouted, as if furious, but also a bit shocked, overlooking the city walls.
Shi Hao was shocked. This dragon bore hostility against the Little Stone?
"Brazen, how can the title Little Stone be something you can randomly shout?!" Someone shouted, a general of Stone Country.
"Just a group of defeated generals, even you dare show me disrespect. Have that person related to the Little Stone come out!" The crimson dragon roared. Not long ago, he defeated a group of experts.
It was at the Supreme Expert Realm, but had the True Dragon's blood, not someone others could compare to.
Moreover, there were news circulating everywhere, saying that together with another youngster named Xi Gu, their talent directly caught up to the past dual Stones.
Shi Hao waved his hand, having everyone else quiet down. He directly left the city, walking through the void towards the crimson dragon Ge Gu.
"I really want to just devour you in one bite." The golden lion was eager to give it a go. It naturally looked down on this little dragon's cultivation, just feeling that its bloodline was special.
Above the city, everyone revealed a strange expression. Even the mount of the Young Human Emperor wanted to slaughter a dragon?
At the same time, quite a few people revealed excited expressions. That dragon didn't know who the youngster was, but they all knew! However, they didn't want to warn the other side, hoping to see that Young Human Emperor take action again.
Of course, there were others whose expressions were complicated, feeling uneasy inside. They felt panic and alarm towards Shi Hao's return.
Shi Hao sent the golden lion flying to the side with a single kick. He didn't want to slaughter a dragon, just wishing to capture it. Now, he immediately reached out a hand to grab it.
Hou!
The crimson dragon surged with power, incomparably ferocious, swooping down. Its pair of dragon horns flickered with great dao symbols, wishing to hack apart the opponent before him!
Unfortunately, it ran into Shi Hao, the difference in cultivation was too much.
Peng!
In just a single motion, Shi Hao grabbed it into his hand. His hand covered the sky, shrouded the heavens.
In that instant, many people on the city walls shivered, inwardly shaken. They were inwardly speculating about just how powerful the Little Stone was now.
Could it be that he already became a true deity?
For cultivators, ten years wasn't long at all. In their eyes, even if Shi Hao was powerful, it was at the true deity level at most.
Aohou…
At this moment, the crimson dragon roared.
It was furious, at the same time incredibly shocked. It was because he recognized that this was precisely the one who suppressed him before in the Void God Realm. Its divine senses were sharp, there was no mistake.
At that time, Shi Hao didn't reveal his true appearance, deliberately hiding himself.
However, the intuition of those with True Dragon lineage was too powerful.
"You are precisely the true Little Stone!" It shouted.
Recently, it was always suppressing a wave of anger. After being suppressed by that person in the Void God Realm, it had asked Coin Elder who the one who took action against him and Xi Gu was.
Coin Elder didn't speak about it in detail, only implying that this person came from the higher realm, his soul returning to the Void God Realm, his true body unable to return.
Back then, it already suspected that it was the Little Stone, which was why it now came to Stone Country, wishing to provoke Stone Clan, all to vent out its resentment.
"Correct, it is precisely me." Shi Hao nodded, and then with a smile, said, "We met before, In the Void God Realm. I still have the same line, are you willing to take me as your master?"
On the city walls, everyone was shocked. A powerful dragon like this was grabbed by the Little Stone just like that, with a single hand. For them, this was just too horrifying.
Meanwhile, some of the generals and guards were extremely moved, praising Stone Emperor together.
Chi!
Suddenly, a streak of primordial spirit rushed into the heavens, actually fleeing from the crimson dragon's head, rushing out. It escaped.
"Yi, a bit strange." Shi Hao revealed a look of surprise.
The golden lion wanted to run after it, but it was stopped by Shi Hao. "Give it a chance to run".
It was because he sensed that when the primordial spirit left the shell, the true dragon energy was rich to the extreme. It was definitely not that of a branch family, but rather the descendant of the true Vicious Ten.
"Big brother, why aren't you chasing after it?" Qingfeng didn't understand.
"I purposely let it go. This is a True Dragon, not a normal creature. If our luck is good, we might be able to loot a True Dragon nest!" Shi Hao laughed.
"Let's go!" He ordered, having Stone Country's important figures do what needed to be done. Meanwhile, he brought Qingfeng and the golden lion with him.
"So fast, this is the True Dragon's escape method. Its cultivation isn't high, yet it moves like a streak of lightning. Normal people really can't catch up to it." Even the golden lion revealed a look of surprise.
They sped along, cutting through the great wilderness, moving eight million li. Then, this primordial spirit entered a mountain range, immediately rushing in, disappearing soon afterwards.
After searching for a bit, Shi Hao saw a hole below many ancient caves.
"True Dragon nest!" He quickly came to this conclusion.
"Primal chaos zone?" The golden lion was shocked. This place was not ordinary. It discovered surging primal chaos as soon as it entered the hole, just too thick.
This place became a small world of its own, established from primal chaos.

Chapter 1747 - Fishing Up the Dragon Nest
The underground opening was just a cover. The ancient caves underneath were like spiderwebs, extremely concentrated.
When they followed a path down to its end, they saw primal chaos.
This was a small world!
Moreover, this place had previously been sealed, only recently undone. There was a crack that could be entered and exited through.
Qingfeng was extremely excited, now already stirred up. It was as if he returned to his youth, when he and Shi Hao ran all over the mountains, looting vicious bird nests, digging up beast caves.
Moreover, now, they were looting a True Dragon nest!
During these past ten years, as Stone Emperor, he had to treat everything seriously, couldn't do things with the nature of a youngster, which was why his true nature had been somewhat suppressed.
Now, while following Shi Hao, he felt a bit like a naughty child doing things he shouldn't.
"There really was a dragon nest!" Even the golden lion was a bit stupefied, greatly shaken up.
Previously, it didn't attach much importance to that little dragon at all, just feeling like its blood was still rather pure, worth capturing alive to eat.
Now, it seemed like there really was something different, a greater issue.
Through the primal chaos crack, Shi Hao saw a bit of the scene inside. Mists rose, primal chaos thick. What he saw first was a cliff, on it a nest.
It isn't an imperial city, nor is it a dragon palace, but a nest?" Shi Hao had an expression of shock on his face.
He opened his heavenly eyes, clearly seeing that there was a nest there, like that of a bird's. It wasn't that large, built from divine wood.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao's pupils rapidly contracted. He saw three eggs, their diameters a larger half a meter. Dragon patterns covered them densely, extremely complex, engraved on the egg shell.
One could vaguely make out waves of draconic sounds that roared into the clouds.
"Heavens, True Dragon eggs, so many of them appearing at once! This really is a nest!" The golden lion released a strange cry, even it was moved.
This was the remote lower realm, within the so-called eight cages, yet there were True Dragon eggs!
Even Shi Hao was moved. He actually ended up running into a nest of dragon eggs, moreover not just a single one.
Three dragon eggs, patterns interweaving on their surface, the draconic imprints too clear. Most important was the draconic energy that was so thick it wouldn't dissolve.
Among them, there was a dragon egg that was shining. Shi Hao vaguely sensed a familiar aura, precisely the crimson dragon Ge Gu, its primordial spirit was inside the egg.
"There's something off." Shi Hao said to himself.
It was clearly born into the world, so why did it enter the egg again?
"Are we going to immediately enter?" Qingfeng was stirred up, rubbing his hands. Right now, he didn't look like the Stone Emperor at all.
"There's no hurry. Have you not heard of the term 'dragon abyss tiger den'? There is definitely extreme danger here, once we enter, the consequences will be hard to predict." Shi Hao reckoned. They definitely couldn't capture it immediately.
He had long sensed that this place was different, that there was danger here. Otherwise, how could it protect so many True Dragon eggs?
Regardless of whether it was Qingfeng or the golden lion, they couldn't sit still, wishing to enter.
"Let's go back first, we'll return early the next morning. If we want to enter, I think we'll have to expend quite a bit of effort." Shi Hao said.
When he left Stone Village, there was a group of young and old gathered, reuniting and holding a celebration. If they tossed and turned for several nights here, then those people would become worried.
They followed the original way back. Shi Hao set up a formation, sealing up the mountain range outside the underground entrance.
He sat on the golden lion, the lion carrying both of them. Lightning coiled about its body, a single leap taking them a thousand li, just too fast.
When they returned to Stone Country's Imperial Palace, Qingfeng made some simple preparations, and then immediately followed Shi Hao to Stone Village.
"Aiyaya, Uncle Qingfeng and Uncle Little Stone returned! A group of children shouted.
This was clearly going to be a sleepless night. Stone Village was full of cries of joy and cheerful talk, all types of delicacies everywhere. There was fine wine being unsealed, the fragrance wafting out.
As for the various good things Shi Hao brought back from the higher realms, he continuously distributed everything out.
"Uncle Little Stone, you are only giving each of us a single sunflower seed?" The children were almost speechless.
Weapons, bone books, Shi Hao gifted a huge pile of these things, but when it came to 'snacks', he was exceptionally careful. The vicious beast meat was one thing, they knew they couldn't touch them, because they were from high level divine beasts.
However, it was just sunflower seeds, yet he was still so stingy. Some of the children pouted.
"What do you all understand? These are divine force seeds, a single one will be enough for you all to roll all over the ground, unable to sleep all night." There was an older generation figure who said this with a smile.
It was because in the past, Shi Hao had already brought over this type of thing.
"Demonic Sunflower Garden's seeds, a type of powerful creature. These seeds that I brought back, even the weakest have cultivation many times greater than yours." Shi Hao said.
Then, he thought for a bit and said, "This won't do, these seeds have to be roasted well before you can eat them. Otherwise, if they are accidentally left in the ground, they might even produce Demonic Sunflowers!"
Shi Hao really was scared of some Demonic Sunflowers reviving, producing more of themselves through the seeds.
Pi li pa la!
He personally took action, refining all of them. They were all properly roasted, and then they were distributed again.
There were some children who didn't believe unless they tried themselves, directly eating it. In the end… they ran all over the village, their bodies erupting with divine light, surging with magical force. They were full of endless energy that night, not stopping at all.
"Haha…" A group of adults roared with laughter.
After Qingfeng returned, he was met with all types of surprises. When he saw the divine medicines, touched the Heavenly Deity Trees, he began to wonder if he was dreaming.
Without a doubt, that night, Stone Village was extremely festive, many people becoming drunk.
Shi Hao already had plans the next morning, bringing Qingfeng and the golden lion with him, preparing to dig up that True Dragon nest.
When he hurried back this time, Shi Hao held the Everlasting Sword Core in hand, as well as the black-gold cauldron covered in cracks to protect himself. He walked at the very front, exploring the way.
They entered through the primal chaos crack, entering this small world.
Chi!
In midair, there was a streak of sharp sword light that hacked down. With a dang noise, the black-gold cauldron was struck flying, ringing with noise.
They raised their heads. There was a horn that was broken, dripping with blood, dull and lacking luster.
"True Dragon Horn!"
The golden lion sucked in a cold breath of air. This was a damaged True Dragon Horn. Blood was dripping from it, but the droplets would evaporate while still in midair, disappear.
It was clear that the essence had already completely disappeared. Otherwise, a drop of mature True Dragon blood could destroy many stars, crush rivers of stars, the power unimaginable.
This place was terrifying after all, outside of Shi Hao's predictions.
"Qingfeng, wait for me outside the primal chaos crack!" Shi Hao ordered. This place was too dangerous, a single mistake and he might die.
He didn't want Qingfeng to be in danger.
After a bit of hesitation, Qingfeng quickly turned around, because he knew that he would only be holding Shi Hao back if he insisted on continuing forward.
A True Dragon Horn was resting there, actually producing all types of scenes. They saw many battle scenes of the archaic Vicious Ten's number one.
The dragon horn tore through the universe, its body unfolding, cutting across time itself, fighting a decisive battle against an undying king!
"It's them!"
Shi Hao's expression was fierce. He saw Anlan's figure, Shutuo's weapon, as well as Scarlet King's precious furnace.
The Vicious Ten's number one was surrounded!
In that place, just a single drop of dragon blood would destroy a sea of stars. The scene was too terrifying.
"Senior, I didn't come here to harm your descendant, but rather because I wanted to help them grow!" Shi Hao said quietly, these words sincere.
That damaged horn was cracked, about to be destroyed. Right now, it descended, still releasing weak light, flying towards Shi Hao.
Soon afterwards, at Shi Hao's side, the void image of an iron blood war banner appeared. This was the aura left behind by the Immortal King Corpse Wrapping Cloth on his body. It was actually drawn out.
When it saw this scene, the damaged horn moved aside, allowing them to walk over.
The golden lion shivered inwardly. It knew that if not for Shi Hao belonging to the Nine Heavens' side and having been sensed by this dragon horn, an extremely dangerous event might happen here.
Kacha!
In the void, a stone wall appeared, floating in the primal chaos. It was covered in cracks, but some Immortal Ancient characters could still be clearly seen on the surface.
After Shi Hao carefully read through them, he released a sigh, feeling sadness for the True Dragon bloodline.
Its descendants were schemed against. The eggs were still there, but they might not be able to hatch, possibly becoming stillborn.
In that moment, Shi Hao felt great killing intent towards the other side. Those people's methods were incredibly vicious after all, wishing to pull this entire clan up by the roots. This wasn't a special example, but rather a widespread massacre.
For example, the Heavenly Horned Ants, their bloodline suffered the same thing, wiped out. The little Heavenly Horned Ant was also plotted against. It was only because its father's magical force was heaven connecting, paying a huge price to save him, that he was sealed in the underground palace.
In reality, there were other true immortal descendants who suffered persecution. Left with no choice, many of them were sealed in primal chaos. Heaven-defying formation were established to activate their life force, hoping that they could appear in the world again after endless years had passed.
When the Heavenly Horned Ant appeared, Shi Hao already learned that after many immortal figures were completely wiped out, even if some of their descendants survived, their abilities would also be weakened.
Only some creatures could defy fate, for example, the Heavenly Horned Ant whose father was too heaven-defying, able to use the endless years to cure his son.
Now, even if these True Dragon eggs could produce hatchlings, it was unknown if their strength would decline greatly.
"The methods of true dragons are heaven-defying, I believe that it can definitely ensure the survival of at least one or two descendants." The golden lion said.
Shi Hao nodded. He arrived before the stone cliff, moving aside the primal chaos, climbing it. He stood before the dragon nest.
Hong!
Suddenly, a grand scene appeared. A True Dragon moved its tail, smashing apart the cosmos, tearing open a great ancient world.
"Precious technique?"
"Past war scenes?"
In front of the dragon nest were intense scenes of fighting. Those were imprints, shocking Shi Hao and the golden lion.
This was the True Dragon fighting, moreover facing more than a single undying king. Blood splashed over the skies, shocking past, present, and future. It was worthy of being the past number one vicious beast, magical force matchless, just too powerful.
Peng! Anlan was swept by a True Dragon tail, his arm breaking. Dang! Shutuo's weapon was struck by a dragon claw, a piece coming off!
Honglong!
The stars exploded, large amounts exploding, brilliant radiance burning past and present!
True Dragon blood scattered outwards, every single drop as if it could reverse the great river of time, summon divine weapons from the boundless great river, the power incomparable.

Chapter 1748 - Nest Extinction
A True Dragon could be seen, fighting an intense battle against undying kings. These were imprints, scenes of the past battle!
In the end, the scenes disappeared, turning into strand after strand of draconic energy. They swirled about the nest on the stone cliff, stirring about, as if a True Dragon released a roar.
It was protecting this nest. Meanwhile, not far out, that damaged dragon horn that was dripping blood flew over, resting near the dragon nest.
The golden lion swallowed, but no matter what, it didn't dare act recklessly. If it really tried to eat a dragon egg, it might be directly strangled to death by Shi Hao.
It could tell that Shi Hao didn't come to loot the eggs, but rather truly because he wanted to protect the True Dragon eggs here.
Peng peng peng!
In that bird nest-like structure, an egg was moving. It continuously released noises, as if extremely nervous. It was precisely the dragon egg Ge Gu's primordial spirit rushed into.
"Don't be nervous, I don't bear any malice, only came to take a look." Shi Hao said. He really was scared that it might rush out of the egg before its time.
It was because he already knew that these eggs had some issues. They had already been sealed here for millions of years. They had always been nourished by draconic energy and other things, it wasn't time for them to appear in the world yet.
"You are evil, you actually followed me over here." A voice sounded from the egg, precisely Ge Gu.
"I already told you everything. I do not bear malice. If I really wanted to act against you, I would have done so a long time ago." Shi Hao explained.
"I don't believe you." This egg was extremely nervous, rolling around in the nest, wishing to struggle free.
"If you dare speak randomly anymore, I'm going to swallow you in one gulp!" The golden lion bared its fangs, playing along, acting like an evil person.
"Just a stupid lion. Once I come out, I could eat a hundred lions in one bite." Ge Gu challenged, still carrying an immature voice, clearly rather tender.
"Don't stop me, I decided that I have to eat it!" The golden lion screamed out.
In the end, Shi Hao immediately smacked it flying to the side, not letting it act recklessly. At this time, draconic energy pervaded the air, the broken horn also rising and falling.
When the golden lion saw this, it couldn't help but be careful, backing up. It really was scared that this dragon horn would start targeting him.
The horn of a True Dragon, this way a divine weapon that could cut apart the cosmos. Even though it was cracked, the essence pretty much all already flowed out, it still wasn't something it could defy.
"On the ground." Shi Hao lowered his head, seeing some herbs on the ground, some of them red, some purple, some green, all quite special.
It was one thing for these herbs to be sparkling and translucent, but they actually still had dragon scales, their shapes special, leaving one in disbelief. Even herbs could produce dragon scales?
"Dragon Scale Herbs!"
This was a type of wondrous herb that possessed inconceivable effects, rumored to only grow near dragon nests, priceless treasures.
"There are so many!" The golden lion was shocked.
Regardless of what kind of medicine it was that was refined, when some Dragon Scale Herb was added, the medicinal nature would be improved greatly. It was rumored that this type of herb possessed the power of the True Dragon after being nurtured by draconic energy year-round.
This was especially the case where it could strengthen one's foundation, improve one's flesh and bones, greatly enhancing a person's constitution.
Shi Hao counted them up, discovering that there were at least fifty stalks. So many of them had been produced, it really was shocking. The release of any single stalk, even if it was in the Nine Heavens, it would fetch a great price.
"If one is cultivating the True Dragon's secret technique, ingesting this herb will allow one to achieve twice the results with half the effort." The golden lion said.
It stared at the three eggs, eyes rolling around, full of desire. It suspected that Shi Hao might be interested in the True Dragon Precious Technique, the same was also true for itself.
In its eyes, the secret technique of the Vicious Ten's number one expert, who didn't want it?
"Please treat my child well."
Right at this time, a sigh sounded. Moreover, an extremely weak voice sounded. Then, with a kacha sound, the dragon horn actually broke into two, falling onto the ground.
It was damaged to begin with, and now, it broke again.
Shi Hao was alarmed. Was this the voice of the True Dragon?
The golden lion even more so shivered inwardly, involuntarily backing up, almost falling off the stone cliff. Its expression was extremely unnatural.
What was strange was that the dragon egg didn't show any reaction, not hearing anything. That voice was only directed towards Shi Hao and the golden lion.
Honglong!
In the primal chaos, a stone wall appeared, descending here. Shi Hao saw even more characters, all of them Immortal Ancient text.
"It acknowledged me." Shi Hao sighed.
That dragon horn had a ruined imprint that belonged to the True Dragon. It sensed the Iron Blood War Banner's aura from Shi Hao's body, moreover sensed a bit of where Shi Hao had been.
For example, he obtained the Iron Blood War Banner's acknowledgement,he also obtained the Kun Peng's inheritance, both of these proved that he was an ally, not the enemy.
Chi!
In the end, this place erupted with brilliance. A piece of bone flew out, spotlessly white like jade. It was sparkling like a mirror, producing the brilliance of endless time.
At this moment, Shi Hao and the golden lion both shivered inwardly, discovering that they were transparent, their bodies becoming entirely translucent.
"Dragon Bone Mirror?!"
The True Dragon died, the dao bone that was left behind was like a precious mirror, but in reality, it was more like the cremated ashes of the ancient monk bloodline, possessing wondrous uses.
It reflected all of Shi Hao and the golden lion's secrets, sensing them. In the end, it released a sigh, the True Dragon Imprint becoming completely at ease.
It fully acknowledged Shi Hao.
Soon afterwards, Shi Hao also found out what happened, because that imprint didn't hide from him. It was extremely direct, asking him to take care of the little True Dragon in the future.
"I was defending against a great enemy, thinking that he returned. In the end, he never appeared, seems like he already died."
In the end, this imprint shone, passing over the stone wall that appeared in the primal chaos. Even more characters appeared.
Shi Hao read them carefully, and then immediately understood what happened to this place.
Of the three dragon eggs, two of them should have become dead eggs, only one living, but even this one experienced issues. Not even endless years of nourishment were able to make it come out into the world.
Only Ge Gu's primordial spirit left this place. That dragon body was the result of it attaching itself to a great venomous python's body, using its body to cultivate, evolving to that step.
Shi Hao was shocked. This little dragon really wasn't simple. It wasn't even born, yet it suppressed a vicious beast, borrowing its body and still managing to cultivate to that step.
The characters left behind by the True Dragon explained that there were some ways that could ensure Ge Gu doesn't suffer any inherent faults, asking for Shi Hao's help.
"Crush the dragon horn, scatter it over the egg, and then supplement it with the following divine medicines; Dragon Scale Herbs, Nine Revolutions Yang Herb, and others."
Shi Hao immediately felt a huge headache. The former few were fine, he could still manage, but the Nine Revolutions Yang Herb, where would he find such a heaven-defying thing?
If there wasn't one, then the little True Dragon could also appear, but it would be a bit lacking. However, it wasn't that there was no way to deal with it either. As it continued with its cultivation, it could completely revive.
Shi Hao carefully examined the stone wall, remembering everything.
That enemy didn't come, while the dragon horn was also pretty much consumed. The essence blood was all scattered over the three eggs, completely exhausted.
Now, even the dragon horn was going to be ground up to be used by that little True Dragon.
Shi Hao released a sigh and said, "Ge Gu, your parents handed you over to me. Let's go, I'll bring you out of here."
"Who do you think you're fooling, you bad guy!" That dragon egg struggled again.
"You cannot act randly, you cannot come into this world yet." Shi Hao said.
Wenglong!
The broken dragon horn shook one last time, releasing a faint streak of light. It flew into the dragon egg. Ge Gu calmed down, and then it suddenly wept.
It was clear that before the True Dragon's imprint scattered, it already spoke to its child.
"Let's go, we can't stay in this place. The primal chaos cracks are unstable, it will likely collapse soon." Shi Hao said. Without the True Dragon Imprint, this place was going to fall into ruin.
The True Dragon egg was quiet. Ge Gu was disappointed, not saying anything.
Shi Hao really wanted to completely dig this place up, seize everything related to the True Dragon, not leave an item behind.
What left him shocked was that apart from the Dragon Scale Herbs, there were some unknown stalks of divine medicines growing behind the dragon nest, clearly not ordinary things.
Wuwu…
In the end, while crying and full of reluctance, Ge Gu could only leave.
Shi Hao didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the entire dragon nest, directly bringing the three eggs out from this place.
After reuniting with Qingfeng, the golden lion turned into a crazy gust of wind, rushing past the sky dome, quickly bringing Shi Hao and the others towards Stone Village.
"We ended up looting an entire nest of True Dragon eggs, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Qingfeng felt a bit dizzy. This felt too unreal.
When they came back, all of the villagers surrounded them.
"Little Hao, what kind of bird egg is this? Why are they so big? Do you want to eat them, or are we going to incubate them, raise some little birds?" Shi Linhu asked.
He was the previous leader of the hunting group, now handed that duty over to Dazhuang and the others, living each day rather leisurely, only watching over the training of the children in the morning.
"Uncle, these can't be eaten, they are dragon eggs." Qingfeng said mysterious, finding it hard to hide his excitement.
"What are you playing at?" Forget about Shi Linhu, even the people further out were shocked, looking over together.
"They really are dragon eggs. This time, even I am in a bit of disbelief." Shi Hao nodded.
With a hong noise, a large group of kids immediately rushed over. If it wasn't for Shi Hao grabbing them, the group of monkeys might have really jumped into the dragon nest, all of them full of curiosity.
Even the children who came from Desolate Border were shocked, walking over.

Chapter 1749 - Five-Colored Sparrow
"They're Flood Dragon eggs right?" Ermeng's kid rubbed his hands, crawling towards the dragon nest, wishing to get a good rub in, but he was naturally fished up by Shi Hao.
"I say, Little Hao, where did you find this thing from? It should be some divine Flood Dragon's egg, right?" The past snot baby was now a young man. He spoke openly, even patting that egg.
This was not a member of the current group of snot babies, but rather Shi Hao's past comrade, his age similar to his, a few years younger than Dazhuang and the others.
"Don't strike it, these are the eggs of a True Dragon!" With things already like this, Shi Hao didn't hide anything, telling them what he experienced.
The crowd gasped, and then their eyes directly widened. These young men all became like children, really wishing to enter the dragon nest, raise the eggs and get a good look for themselves.
Fortunately, the old clan chief Shi Yunfeng came. He cleared his throat, and then everyone became embarrassed, not daring to act out.
The main thing was that they were too excited. These weren't Flood Dragon eggs, but rather True Dragon eggs!
In everyone's eyes, this was equivalent to a true immortal, perhaps even greater. This type of legendary figure actually appeared in the village, so how could they not be shocked?
Yun Xi was also stupefied. She stood nearby, looking at Shi Hao, truly unable to comprehend what was going on. He actually brought back even a dragon egg? Just how heaven-defying was this?
This was a nest of True Dragons, everything brought back!
"Now, I believe that little uncle is unmatched under the heavens! I heard that he loved to rob vicious bird nests, dig up beast caves even when he was young, now he fully deserves his reputation! Even a True Dragon nest was carried back!" A little fella who still had snot dripping from his nose had a face full of adoration.
The group of youngsters all giggled, including Ermeng, Huzi, and the others, because this was also what they had done, running around like rascals with Shi Hao.
Shi Ziling and his wife were naturally shocked. They had long hurried over, now almost petrified.
The villagers were all stunned. This really was too great of a surprise! If the village raised a dragon, just how glorious would that be? All of them began to laugh in a silly manner.
"Haha, this is too awesome! Is our village going to defy the heavens? We are going to raise a dragon!" Dazhuang scratched his head, laughing continuously in a simple-minded manner.
After a long time had passed, this place calmed down. Shi Hao began his research, trying to figure out how to make this True Dragon hatch.
He was already sure that the other two eggs died, only Ge Gu was fine.
"Qingfeng, you should return to Stone Capital first. Find all the families who have been rebeling these past few days, especially Rain Clan, investigate who is stirring up trouble. Later on, I'll pay them all a visit." He wasn't worried for Qingfeng, after returning this time, he already gave him secret protective treasures.
Apart from this, he had the golden lion follow him, obey Qingfeng.
As for himself, he concentrated on this dragon egg, moreover starting to help it hatch himself.
After the novelty passed, Stone Village finally calmed down.
"You aren't worrying about yourself, you even have the extra time to incubate a dragon egg?" Yun Xi released a light sigh. In her opinion, the day of Shi Hao's cultivation disappearance wasn't far off.
"Could eating a dragon egg help dissolve the Immortal Breaking Curse?" She asked, extremely concerned with Shi Hao's condition.
"It won't help, that is a curse unrelated to all of these. If you're worried for me, hurry and help me give birth to a little fatty. In the future, I'll raise him so he can get revenge for me." Shi Hao researched the dragon egg while speaking nonsense.
Yun Xi's face was red, directly seizing a kid along the way, throwing him onto Shi Hao's neck, and then turned around to leave.
"Ahhhh, uncle, it's not my fault!" The little fella was given a huge scare.
"Don't worry." Shi Hao laughed, and then lowered his head, continuing his pondering.
Two days later, Shi Hao began to grind up the dragon horn. At first, he was still a bit regretful. What kind of thing was a dragon horn? It was too heaven-defying, able to cut apart the great cosmos!
However, he discovered that this broken dragon horn couldn't be ground into powder. When it rubbed on the dragon egg, it actually shone, directly absorbed by that egg.
Ge Gu didn't say anything all this time, remaining silent, but he was also extremely cooperative.
This was especially the case when that dao bone left by the True Dragon, which was equivalent to the ashes of an ancient monk, was also merged into the dragon egg, turning into symbols and splendor, absorbed by it.
Shi Hao gasped. Just how heaven-defying was this dragon egg?
Soon afterwards, he realized what happened. The dragon egg's damage was too severe, needing True Dragon essence's replenishment, only then could it compensate for its innate deficiencies.
One had to understand that a dragon egg might produce an actual dragon! This proved that it contained unimaginable potential.
For it to absorb the essence of dragon horn powder and dao bones was completely normal, making up for what it lacked.
Shi Hao used the Dragon Scale Herbs as well, directly using up more than thirty stalks.
Apart from this, he picked divine medicines, picking some stalks and leaves from each stalk, using them on the True Dragon egg, refining them into divine force multicolored light, merging it inside.
He already gave the little True Dragon what had to be given, only some Dragon Scale Herbs that it couldn't absorb were left.
What was missing was only a stalk of Nine Revolutions Yang Herb. Where would he find that thing?
"Little uncle, that five-colored sparrow is bullying me!" In the distance, a child shouted.
Shi Hao's mind immediately shook. That five-colored sparrow was still in the village?
Just how many years had passed? Yet it was actually still here!
When he returned, he even wanted to find it, but overlooked this because of the True Dragon egg events.
"Where is it? How did it bully you?"
"We saw it in the rear mountains, it threw a piece of wood at my head."
A child told him. They were also like the young Shi Hao, chased after that five-colored sparrow, but never succeeded in catching it.
As for the adults, they felt a bit of reverence towards the five-colored sparrow, not daring to provoke it. They felt like it was extremely mysterious, after all, the reason why Shi Hao was able to revive was greatly connected to it.
"Let me take a look." Shi Hao stared at the stick in that child's hand.
This was formed from a plant after it dried up, rather tough.
En?
He was shocked, feeling like this piece of dried plant contained powerful life essence. This was a formidable stalk of medicine!
"Don't tell me… this is precisely the Nine Revolutions Yang Herb!" Shi Hao said to himself.
The more he studied it, the more he felt like this dried medicine was extraordinary. In the end, he also ground it into powder, refining it into the True Dragon egg.
"Is this the Nine Revolutions Yang Herb you need?"
"It isn't, but it is effective." Ge Gu replied.
In the end, Shi Hao personally helped it refine everything, also finding some heaven and earth essence for it to absorb, hoping that it could hatch into a perfect True Dragon.
"Go, call back the golden lion for me." Shi Hao called out to the youngsters in the village.
Soon afterwards, the golden lion returned. It was a bit confused.
"I have a mission for you. Head to a nest and wait for an opportunity, catch a creature for me." Shi Hao ordered.
The golden lion's eyes brightened, now looking forward to this. What kind of creature was this, for Huang to attach such importance to it? It couldn't help but ask, "Is it a True Phoenix nest this time?"
"Something like that." Shi Hao answered vaguely.
"The lower realms really are too heaven-defying!" The golden lion released a strange cry. It was in high spirits, wishing to have a go at this great opportunity.
In the end, when Shi Hao told it the exact location, having it enter the nest, the golden lion's face immediately fell, almost staking it all against Shi Hao right here.
What kind of True Phoenix nest was this? It was but a bird nest. Was this a sparrow nest or a turtledove nest?
It was so angry its nose almost became crooked. This was the task Huang gave it? This was just too insulting. The glorious Fearless Lion had to hide in this type of little fella's nest? Infuriating!
It roared, wishing to rebel.
"You better enter obediently, catch that five-colored sparrow for me!" Shi Hao immediately glared at it, raising his hand to suppress it.
Moreover, he didn't really explain anything.
The golden lion was so angry it grinded its teeth, but in the end, it endured it, shrinking itself to the size of a fist, directly flying into the hole that was opened in the bird nest.
It cursed and swore at Shi Hao inwardly, but it had no choice.
However, when the golden lion entered, it became a bit shocked. This place was extremely comfortable and clean, covered in rare golden silk grass.
"I'll just treat this place as my place of seclusion cultivation!" It closed its eyes, really starting to cultivate alone.
Several days later, Shi Hao became a bit moved. The True Dragon egg was splitting, a dragon really was about to be born before his very eyes.
Kacha!
In the end, multicolored light shone in endless streaks, auspicious brilliance rushing into the heavens. A True Dragon rushed out, scarlet multicolored light flickering about. It was entirely red, as if it brought the light of sunset with it in birth.
This was a True Dragon, the true heir of one of the Vicious Ten's experts!
Draconic energy spread. All of Stone Village was nurtured as a result, everyone shaken. A True Dragon emerged in the world, a symbol of divinity, an omen of great auspiciousness!
Sure enough, as soon as it appeared, Stone Village was blessed with rare True Dragon spiritual essence, making everyone here obtain benefits.
The most important thing was that the village now obtained a wave of original draconic energy that seeped deep into the earth, nurturing this place.
The crimson little dragon rushed into the air, entering the heavens, sensing its own changes. Divine multicolored light shone in endless streaks, primal chaos spreading, all types of irregular scenes appearing in succession.
"Everything wasn't in vain." Shi Hao released a light sigh.
He seemed to have recalled something. He looked outside of the village. There was a tree, on the tree a nest. Right now, the golden lion should be inside.
"Why did it fall asleep?" When Shi Hao approached, he found that it was sleeping.
A moment later, the golden lion woke up. Soon afterwards, it released a miserable scream, its rage shaking the heavens. Fortunately, Shi Hao cut it off, not allowing it to injure any creatures.
Even with the formation laid by Willow Deity, an accident might happen.
"This is too infuriating! Ahhh!" The golden lion made its way out from the bird nest.
Shi Hao was stunned, and then he erupted into laughter.
On the golden lion's nose was a pile of bird poo. It was five-colored, long hardened, from the looks of it left a few days ago.
"What kind of bird is it? I am going to eat it!" The golden lion screamed out, so angry all of the fur on its body was about to ignite into flames.

Chapter 1750 - Flaws
All of the golden lion's fur stood on end, looking like golden needles. Right now, it was like a big gold porcupine.
Raging flames surged, spraying out from its nose, gushing out from its mouth. Moreover, its ears were also releasing smoke, the same true for the top of its head, this scene shocking.
It was so angry smoke was coming out of its seven viscera, truly angered badly.
It was a glorious Fearless Lion, a race who shook the world under the sky. Back then, they even dared fight Immortal Monk King, its power intimidating the world!
Yet now, there was a pile of bird poop on its head. This was absolutely unimaginable for it!
"I am too angry, ao…" The golden lion stomped its feet there, releasing low growls, still not daring to roar out. It was because Shi Hao was staring at it, scared that it might end up destroying the great wilderness.
"I can't take this anymore!" The golden lion roared, fiercely throwing away the bird poop on its nose. Then, it jumped out, rushing into the skies, into outer space.
It couldn't vent out its resentment in Stone Village, so it escaped into the boundless uninhabited world beyond.
It could roar and scream as it pleased there.
"Thunder?"
In Stone Village, some people were confused. Quite a few people had rather simple minds, not knowing what happened.
"It seems to be the lion uncle Little Hao raised that is crying out."
"That lion is pretty formidable. What happened to it, why is it roaring?"
"A piece of the five-colored sparrow's poo was stuck to its nose."
A group of children muttered. The adults also found out, all of their expressions strange. The emotions they felt towards that five-colored sparrow were complex, always feeling like it was extremely mysterious.
In the beginning, they didn't treat it as anything important, feeling like it was no different from a mountain sparrow, but in the end, the more they came into contact with it, the more respect they felt towards it.
At the same time, they also had reason to hold these suspicions. Willow Deity took root at the head of the village, while the sparrow was at the end of the village, the two symmetrical.
After a long time had passed, the golden lion returned. Its face was shaking, a sign of its anger still not being quelled, left in too sullen of a state.
"Golden lion, you're back? Isn't it just a piece of bird poo stuck on your nose? Don't worry about it, it's fine as long as you properly wiped it off." A child in overalls advised with good intentions.
When it heard this, the golden lion's face shivered again intensely, baring its snow-white fangs. Its gaze could kill, really wishing to swallow up that brat in one gulp.
"Why are you trying to scare me? It was that bird who did it, it wasn't me who put the poo on your nose." The child was confused.
"You… shut up!"
The golden lion felt as if its tail had been stepped on, baring its sharp fangs and glaring out. It really was furious, its sore spot being jabbed at again and again.
"Golden fur lion, what kind of attitude is this? He was trying to comfort you with good intentions, do you not understand gratefulness?" A brat who still had snot dripping from his nose complained.
"Am I allowed to bite people?!" The golden lion turned around, shooting Shi Hao a look, grinding its teeth, releasing a low growl. All of the golden fur on its body stood on end again.
Shi Hao shot it a look, only having two words. "You cannot!"
"Uncle, it isn't that I am criticizing you, but the mental tolerance of this mount you brought back is too inferior. Isn't it just bird poo?" A child acted like an adult, acting cockily here.
"Ah… Heavens, hurry and send me back to the ancient world on the other side of Desolate Border! I can't take it anymore!" The golden lion screamed.
In the end, it was kicked to the side by Shi Hao.
"This lion is no good, it's even worse than that big turtle. Look how honest and dutiful it is, just sleeping under the Heavenly Deity Tree." Someone said.
"Exactly! I also feel like that big black turtle is stronger." There were others who nodded.
The golden lion really was angered badly. What level of existence was it? Staying here made it go a bit crazy.
Only Yun Xi secretly laughed, because she was deeply aware of how terrifying this lion was, what level of existence it was, yet was suffering so much right now.
Even though the villagers knew that its cultivation was high, they never saw it display its power. They only saw it as Shi Hao's mount, which was why it was difficult for them to feel a sense of danger from it.
Shi Hao didn't have time to bother with the golden lion, instead paying attention to the little True Dragon. It already descended from the air, bringing auspicious multicolored light with it, accompanied by a rain of splendor. Draconic energy swirled about.
The villagers all flocked over, including the children from Desolate Border. This was a True Dragon! It was actually born, moreover right before their eyes!
The crimson dragon body was less than a zhang in length, could be said to be rather small, not large at all. It was clearly rather tender.
It was like the embers of a dark night, bright red and sparkling, scarlet multicolored light flickering about. Even its dragon horns were like blood diamonds; this was a red True Dragon.
Ge Gu's expression was complicated. When it descended, it rushed over to Shi Hao and showed its appreciation. "Thank you!"
Even though they were at odds before, regardless of whether it was in the Void God Realm or Stone Country's capital, even being suppressed by Shi Hao before, he really did help it in the end.
"There's no need to be polite, just take me as your master." Shi Hao said with a smile.
Ge Gu's expression immediately fell. It never had this type of intention.
Shi Hao carefully examined it. This crimson dragon's body was sturdy and powerful, worthy of being a True Dragon. Its body was complete, hard to find any faults or weaknesses.
Comparatively, at its cultivation level, it was extremely astonishing!
Shi Hao knew that regardless of whether it was the dragon horn, divine medicines, Dragon Scale Herbs or others, it absorbed everything. They had great effects, replenishing its innate deficiencies, not allowing it to have an 'old illness'.
"Not bad, this is good, a complete True Dragon. Your blood energy is vigorous, your cultivation will only take half the effort but obtain twice the results, far exceeding other creatures." Shi Hao nodded in praise.
Even the proud and arrogant golden lion who had always looked down on the lower realms had no choice but to accept this. The True Dragon was extraordinary after all, seemingly 'a bit' more formidable than it when it was young.
"Your body is sturdy, soul powerful, there shouldn't be any issues." Shi Hao felt extremely fulfilled, completing his desire to restore one of the Vicious Ten, the True Dragon.
Shi Hao's mind was burning with passion. Right now, he was full of expectations, because this was a True Dragon! The True Dragon Precious Technique that was known to be unmatched was going to appear!
"How much of your inherited precious technique is matured, how are your skills in this?" Shi Hao released a few dry coughs, asking like this.
The golden lion shot him a look of disdain, silently cursing. Wasn't it enough if he just directly said he wanted to learn the hidden technique?
The crimson dragon felt ashamed, a bit embarrassed, saying, "I only obtained some superficial bits." Then, its expression changed greatly, saying, "I didn't obtain the later inheritance!"
Shi Hao now understood. There was still a huge issue in the end!
He just knew that without the Nine Revolutions Yang Herb, there might be some flaws, but he never expected it to be so severe.
The little crimson dragon didn't have any problems with its body, regardless of whether it was the body or soul, they were both shockingly strong.
However, the imprint fragments within its blood were incomplete, the inheritance wasn't recorded. As for the True Dragon's unmatched inheritance, it didn't completely obtain them.
It was proficient in normal cultivation methods, but the True Dragon's most powerful secret technique had been completely lost.
He was even thinking about the True Dragon great method, but in the end, that unmatched secret method wasn't even passed down?
Ge Gu was terrified. This was a huge matter. The True Dragon's most powerful precious technique wasn't in its blood, what it grasped was still those True Dragon methods from before it was born.
The clan's full inheritance wasn't there!
"What do we do?" Even the golden lion was worried, because it also had its eyes on it, wishing to bask in Shi Hao's limelight, but discovered that everything amounted to naught.
"Void God Realm!" Suddenly, the little crimson dragon said.
"What do you mean?" Shi Hao was shaken.
"Those two old things told me that as long as I could break your records, then the most powerful precious technique could be exchanged for there. I believe… that place has the True Dragon Precious Technique." Ge Gu said.
It had previously fought with a youngster named Xi Gu, the two of them known as the Twin Stones of the current generation, stirring up a huge commotion.
Shi Hao's expression changed greatly. He was originally planning to head to the Void God Realm, planning to use his own ten bronze pieces to exchange for a precious technique. He didn't even decide which one to choose, but now, it seemed like he could only choose the True Dragon Technique.
He shot the little crimson dragon a look of contempt, always feeling like this purchase wasn't worth it. After bringing back a True Dragon egg, not only did he not obtain any benefits from this clan, he even had to become a nanny, help it learn the True Dragon Technique?
"I feel like your age is still young, cultivation not deep enough. As you grow up, the inheritance fragments within your blood might gradually become clear and appear." Shi Hao said.
It was because if he went to the Void God Realm for the exchange, he could only choose one secret technique.
Right now, he desired the True Phoenix Precious Technique a lot!
If the little crimson dragon recovered, then in the future, there might be a glorious occasion of the auspicious dragon phoenix appearance!
It was because it was rumored that once one grasped the True Dragon and True Phoenix Secret Technique, the two would complement each other, increase the power several fold!
Right now, a True Dragon was right before his eyes. If he could then fetch the True Phoenix Precious Technique in the Void God Realm, then that type of ideal wouldn't be too far off!

Chapter 1751 - True Dragon Precious Technique
A cool breeze blew past. Heaven Province was quiet and still.
Shi Hao moved by himself, leaving Desolate Region and entering Heaven Region.
This was where he entered the lower realms from. He wanted to head to that life restricted region.
It was because after thinking to himself, he felt that perhaps the one who could help Ge Gu was that lord of the restricted region. That existence had previously taught true immortal level disciples, passed down all types of secret techniques.
Shi Hao felt like he might be proficient in the True Dragon Precious Technique!
Originally, he already wanted to come here, because he had made an appointment with this lord beforehand.
Moreover, he didn't have a lot of time left, also wishing to ask if the curse in his body would bring him great harm.
Before, he wasn't that worried, because when everyone, including the ruined immortal, felt like he was going to be crippled, he could sense that it wasn't that serious.
It was because at that time, the flame within his body had been silently burned, filling his blood and flesh.
However, the immortal curse was still there. That flame hadn't helped him burn all of it, some still remained.
Back then, only Five Phase Mountain knew, seeing some clues, because it was already aware beforehand that Shi Hao had a mysterious flame within him.
When Five Phase Mountain said that Shi Hao was already crippled, it was likely to play along, fool the ruined immortal.
The circumstances were dire. Apart from that ruined immortal's true body, there was another person's weapon, as well as a decree that threatened them, definitely also immortal dao level figures!
"It wasn't for myself, but rather that I ran over here first for your sake, this disciple is definitely mine." Shi Hao said to himself.
He felt like he definitely had to be on guard. Taking on this disciple was something he should do, especially something as heaven-defying as the True Dragon, which he definitely couldn't pass up.
This region was extremely barren, becoming more and more secluded and quiet.
Shi Hao arrived at the edge of the Mysterious Region. He produced that ancient jade, or else he would easily get lost here.
Heaven and earth changed, the scenes becoming hazy. The void here distorted, as if there was an ancient realm hidden between the mountains and rivers.
Hong!
Shi Hao turned into a streak of lightning, passing through the heavens, quickly rushing over. He entered the ancient land where the restricted region was.
In a flash, millions of li faded away.
In the end, Shi Hao arrived. He saw that ruined ancient land again.
The mountain was extremely short. There was a withered medicinal field, as well as a small dried-up lake, even more so ruined metal tiles, all of them resting here.
Honglong!
Suddenly, the mountains and rivers came alive. In that instant, the dried earth obtained life, water running under the small bridge, pavilions and palaces shining. This gloomy place that was originally swirling with black mist immediately became brilliant like an immortal realm.
Inside the medicinal field, a fragrance wafted about, all divine medicines, nothing of worse quality!
On the mountaintop, there were grand metal palaces, grand and majestic, incomparably divine.
Not far out, there was a lake at the foot of the mountain, as well as a thatched cottage. A white-clothed male was sitting there, complexion fine like jade, eyes bright, currently sipping on some tea.
Behind him was a male and female pair, both of them attractive.
"You came."
"Yes, senior."
This time, there was no tough trial. Shi Hao crossed Cosmos Lake just like that, not encountering any trouble.
"You came earlier than I thought you would." The white-clothed male said, lowering the teacup to look at him.
"I have things to ask senior." Shi Hao was extremely direct.
"Speak then." The white-clothed man's reply was extremely simple.
"I wish to ask for the True Dragon Precious Technique." Shi Hao looked at him.
"I will not pass down any precious techniques. The past paths have already been proven to be incorrect. Before you, there were eight exceptional individuals who learned my methods, but they all died in the end." The middle-aged man replied in a calm manner.
Shi Hao was stunned, he actually obtained this kind of reply.
The other party was extremely straightforward, this could be considered a rejection.
He was a bit confused. Since this is the case, what did the white-clothed man come here to do? Wasn't it to pass down an inheritance?
"I believe you've misunderstood. I need to foster a powerful individual, preferably history's most powerful. However, he isn't necessarily my inheritor." The white-clothed man said.
Shi Hao looked at him, not saying anything.
"You've already learned enough methods yourself, what is important isn't how many methods you grasped, but rather other things. I wish to bestow you enough tempering, produce the most powerful fighting strength!" The white-clothed man was extremely direct.
"However, I wish to learn the True Dragon Precious Technique." Shi Hao muttered.
"I do not have much time left, only some ruined imprints. Each time I appear, I will become a bit more faint. I am not here to have a casual conversation, you need to grasp the opportunity." The middle-aged man said.
Then, he added, "I've never obtained the True Dragon Precious Technique, even if I wished to bestow it upon you, I cannot."
Shi Hao sighed. The True Dragon Precious Technique was extraordinary after all.
"Since you came, then you should cherish this opportunity."
The white-clothed man spoke, and then he pointed out with his hand. Shi Hao immediately rose into the air, involuntarily flying towards a mountain peak. There was a silver palace there.
There were many mountain peaks here, every one of them having a giant metal palace.
Shi Hao was sent inside this silver palace hall. The palace's doors immediately closed.
"En? This is bad!"
Shi Hao's expression immediately changed, because the Immortal Breaking Curse within his body acted out, becoming incredibly intense, wishing to corrode his entire body's cultivation. It was extremely bad.
"The tempering this time is precisely the Immortal Breaking Curse. If you make it through and can still live, not lose your cultivation, then we'll consider you passing." The white-clothed man said.
Shi Hao was speechless.
He really didn't know what was proper to say. He wanted to curse out, swear, because he also wanted to deal with the Immortal Breaking Curse, yet in the end, it was directly triggered.
The lord of the restricted region not only didn't help him, he even activated the Immortal Breaking Curse!
"The Immortal Breaking Curse hasn't completely erupted, I only activated a portion of it. If one wishes to become the most powerful, then you must make it through this." The white-clothed man said.
"This was prepared for a true immortal, yet you want me to stick it through?" Shi Hao began to panic.
"It hasn't completely activated, just releasing a portion of its power." The white-clothed man said calmly.
This was still enough to kill. The curse was meant for an immortal dao existence, even if it was just a bit, was still too difficult to withstand.
This was a hell-like torment. A low roar sounded from within the silver palace, the sounds terrifying, sometimes like the screams of a devil king, sometimes like the ghosts of the nine netherworlds.
This was a type of torture. Shi Hao felt as if he had fallen into the depths of hell.
The flame within his body remained dormant, extremely still, allowing the immortal curse to eat at his life force and cultivation.
"Get back here!" Shi Hao's eyes became red. The magical force he cultivated so bitterly, all of his cultivation, how could it be cut down?
Within his body, magical force swirled crazily, blood energy surging, cultivation fluctuating between weak and strong.
Shi Hao was withstanding it. Whenever a bit of magical force disappeared, he would crazily operate several mysterious techniques, seizing it and making up for it.
For three whole days, within the silver palace, roars sounded continuously. It was like the howls of a ghost, cries of a god, truly terrifying.
In the end, the palace gates opened. Shi Hao's hair was disheveled, staggering outwards. After three days, he became a ring skinnier, his complexion deathly pale.
"Not bad, you made it through and succeeded. I look forward to the day where you can completely resist the breakout of the Immortal Breaking Curse while still in the mortal domain!" The white-clothed man said.
Immediately afterwards, the green hills and clear waters disappeared, this place becoming cold and desolate.
On the ground was a ruined skull, snow-white like jade.
Shi Hao bowed deeply in that direction, and then he turned around to leave. The further he went, the more lightweight and free his body felt. Magical force surged, blood energy roiling. He felt as if he returned from hell back into the world of the living, his body feeling at ease, primordial spirit compact.
Shi Hao returned to Stone Village.
"Sigh, I wasn't able to obtain the True Dragon Precious Technique. It seems like I can only go into the Void God Realm." He said with a light sigh.
The golden lion rushed over, it knew where Shi Hao went. When it heard what he said, it immediately became disappointed.
"Right, did the five-colored sparrow appear?" Shi Hao asked.
The golden lion immediately gritted its teeth, shaking its head. It had wandered the great wilderness these past few days, wishing to bother the five-colored sparrow, but in the end didn't find it at all.
"Big brother, I have pretty much finished the investigations. Rain Clan have really managed to contact their ancient deity. There are some strange things involved." Qingfeng returned.
He already more or less wrapped up the search, finding out which powers wanted to rebel, supporting the past Emperor Clan direct line of descent. This investigation wasn't all that difficult.
However, what let him apprehensive was that Rain Clan's people really were able to communicate with a deity.
"Deity? I'll just eat him later!" The golden lion said brazenly.
"Whatever. The five-colored sparrow even left bird poo on your nose, yet you still couldn't catch it." There were children who spoke out.
You can beat someone, but you can't beat their face, you can't hurt one's pride.
When the golden lion heard this, its face immediately became dark, really wishing to roar and throw itself over.
"There's no rush. When I come back from the Void God Realm, I'll pay those powers a visit, get to the bottom of things." Shi Hao said. He wanted to see just how capable those powers were, for them to actually want to rebel against Qingfeng.
Of course, Rain Clan was also an important target of his investigations.
Shi Hao wouldn't act carelessly. He always believed that the deity that could cast its projection from a different world was definitely powerful!
He sat down in Stone Village, closing his eyes. Then, with a hong sound, his primordial spirit left his body, piercing through the heavens, entering Void God Realm!
The crimson dragon Ge Gu went with him.
Shi Hao had ten bronze pieces, he was going to exchange them for the True Dragon Precious Technique.

Chapter 1752 - Sudden News From Immortal Domain
The Nine Heavens Ten Earths' various ancient realms were all calm and peaceful, because Desolate Border's crisis ended.
Only, it was a pity that so many heroes died, even more so the Prides of Heaven like Meng Tianzheng and others who already fell in battle, never to be seen again.
The supreme beings withered away, most of them falling in Desolate Border!
At the same time, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths experienced a rare period of peace. There was no longer a foreign great enemy, no longer the suffocating feeling weighing down on everyone's minds.
Recently, regardless of whether it was the high and mighty Nine Heavens or the comparatively further Ten Earths, they were all actively fostering elite talents.
Too many experts died during Desolate Border's turmoil, needing to be replenished with later generations, to make up this deficiency!
That was why the various clans were all doing everything they could to foster powerful individuals, hoping that an exceptional figure could rise up, produce a generation crushing Pride of Heaven!
Now, regardless of whether it was Exiled Immortal, Six Crown King Ning Chuan and the others, or Great Xu Tuo, Qi Gu, Little Sky King and the others, all powers were trying to rope them in.
Even Jin Zhan, this individual who almost died, but ultimately survived was admired by many, leaving others jealous that Jin Family had this type of terrifying young expert.
Those who survived Desolate Border's battle, returning and not falling in the other side, became the targets of the various great powers' roping. These were elites who experienced the test of blood and flames!
Right now, they faced a period of peace. All sides were competing, fostering their own camp's experts. They hoped to rope in these heroic talents.
It could be said that many people of the younger generation were being enticed by different powers with all types of generous conditions.
For example, there was a long life family who was willing to protect the dao for the dual pupil user, grant him divine medicines, scriptures, and other things, assist with his cultivation.
Similarly, when Six Crown King Ning Chuan whose strength was on par with Ten Crown King appeared again, a long life Emperor Clan took interest in him, wishing to take him in as a son-in-law.
All of the heaven warping geniuses of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths welcomed a glorious age. They were chased after by all different clans who wished to obtain them.
At the same time, they couldn't help but recall someone, precisely Huang. This history's youngest Self Release Realm expert, was now this far off.
"What a pity… Huang had heaven warping talent, yet his end was so bleak."
"Sigh, where one comes, one returns. Even though his cultivation has been destroyed, becoming a cripple, in the end, he still survived, returning to his place of birth. This can still be a type of conclusion that can be accepted." Someone shook their head, feeling great regret.
Regardless of whether it was Shi Hao's enemies or those he was on good terms with, whenever they thought of him, they all couldn't help but admit that his talent really was absurd. Originally, he was going to experience an age of glory, yet in the end, he met such a dismal end, withering too early on the path of cultivation.
"Heh, this is the will of heaven. Huang, who does he think he is? Merely a peasant from the lower realms' prison, yet he dares stir up trouble in the higher realms. In the end, he was beaten until his face was bloody, body half crippled, wasn't he still forced back to that cage in the end?!"
"For Immortal Palace's great one to take action decisively, there is naturally a reason. This result is not wrong."
There were some enemies who felt joy, speaking some words that went a bit too far.
Even more people released light sighs. What could they say? Huang established world-shocking great merit in Desolate Border, yet in the end, he was crippled by a ruined immortal. Who could do anything? That was an immortal dao existence, no one dared stand out.
"Shocking news! A long life imperial court is looking for a son-in-law, Princess Yao Yue is going to choose a dao companion! Hurry and sign up!"
"This is the princess of a long life imperial court! This is a huge occasion!"
News went out, traveling through the great ancient lands.
"Yi, Jin Taijun came out of seclusion. She is going to Wang Family to demand an explanation, see if they really are going to be connected through marriage or not, if Wang Xi is going to marry Jin Zhan. This is a huge affair!"
Soon afterwards, this type of shocking news was sent out. Everyone sensed that something might be happening. Otherwise, how could things turn out like this?
"Something's not quite right. Sky Severing Sect is also joining the action, sending the witch out to rope in the dual-pupil user, someone personally saw this!"
Everyone was a bit confused. Why were these great sects making moves one after the other?
Several days later, news traveled out.
In the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, the various ancient realms were going to carry out a great competition!
"Are they mad? We just obtained some peace, why do they have to carry out this type of contest?"
"It is likely because the great battle of Desolate Border has come to an end, heroic spirits slumbering, too many people died, that it incited this atmosphere of cultivation." Someone suspected.
Regardless of whether it was the Nine Heavens who were high up above or the distant Ten Earths, there were going to be contests organized in the various ancient lands, a selection of the best.
There were those from the younger generation and those in their robust years, different groups separated according to different levels.
However, the one most people paid attention to was the great competition between the younger generation.
Right when everyone was feeling misgivings, the answer to the mysteries was revealed.
"Immortal Domain's gates are going to open!"
Just these words alone shook the heavens above and earth below. Everyone was stupefied, in a bit of disbelief.
Towards Immortal Domain, few people knew of it, to the extent where almost everyone had never heard about it before.
However, as Desolate Border's great battle came to a close, there were many behind-the-scenes details that were spread, quite a few secrets becoming public. Everyone learned that above the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, there was a great Immortal Domain!
There were true immortals there, true unmatched experts, the source of many inheritances' ancestral roots.
That world was countless times greater than even the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
In the past, the protectors of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, the past Dugu Clan, came precisely from Immortal Domain!
"Immortal Domain's doors have opened, do we have a chance to enter? Heavens! This is world-shocking information! No wonder the long life families made so many moves. They knew ahead of time!"
"Apart from some elites who could enter, there are news that some of Immortal Domain's most powerful inheritances will take in disciples, choose the most powerful seeds."
When these news spread, it shook the heavens above and earth below. Everyone understood why there were such disturbances recently.
"Now wonder Little Sky King, Exiled Immortal, Six Crown King and others were all being roped in by various sides."
Everyone found it hard to calm down. This meant that a great opportunity was coming. What kind of place was Immortal Domain? During all these years, not even their supreme beings could enter!
However, now, such a great instance of natural luck appeared. Those who had great achievements could enter Immortal Domain!
Soon afterwards, the source of the information was revealed.
It was the ruined immortal who sensed something, the first one to learn about this. Immortal Palace's ruined immortal sensed an omen that there were projections cast down from within Immortal Domain's gates, displaying unmatched might, releasing a decree.
"Not long ago, I was still feeling pity for Huang, but now, I should feel happiness for him instead. It was actually the ruined immortal who survived who accepted the decree. If Huang was still in the higher realm, he might be directly killed, not given a chance, directly eliminated completely!"
A few people said with a sigh.
This was a great opportunity. Those ruined immortals would definitely stop Huang from heading there. After all, they already crippled him, how could they give him the opportunity to rise up, give him that hope?
From that day forth, a contest began in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, all sides' experts longing to enter Immortal Domain.
However, the battles this time were all carried out in the spiritual worlds, for example, Spirit Realm.
This was comparable to the eight regions' Void God Realm!
It was because with the great battle of Desolate Border coming to an end, there were too many things to deal with. The Nine Heavens Ten Earths also didn't wish to have too many deaths because of this contest. When fighting in Spirit Realm, even if one was killed in battle, they could still be saved in the real world. As long as the natural laws were complete, it could ensure that they were fine.
"Did I hear incorrectly? I am going to faint. Wang Family has a tenth dragon, known to be unmatched under the heavens?!"
"Wang Shi[1] is going to make an appearance?!"
A piece of astonishing news was released. Immortal Wang had a tenth child, only, he had remained in seclusion all this time, sealed in a frozen cave. This time, he was going to make an appearance.
"It isn't only Wang Family, some of the legendary heroic spirits who were suspected to be dead have appeared again as well!"
Everyone became stupefied. What was going on? Was the world going crazy?
"Sigh, isn't it obvious? The other side came knocking on our doors, this entire great era threatened by them, everyone in our world might die, so some inheritances already preserved some seeds beforehand!"
Soon afterwards, everyone understood.
Now that Desolate Border War ended, the crisis finally averted, Immortal Domain's gates even opening, a great opportunity finally appeared.
Those individuals who were sealed by great families, the individuals who would serve as seeds, were all released to seize a quota for entering Immortal Domain.
While the various lands were tossing and turning, there were some who were drinking, even weeping greatly.
"My brother was truly wronged! Huang, where are you in the lower realms, were you able to survive? You, who fought while covered in blood for our side, now that an opportunity has appeared, you can't even take part. How unfair is this?!"
Cao Yusheng and the Heavenly Horned Ant cried out, feeling endless anger and resentment.
"If Shi Hao came back, who could compete against him? He would just slap them all to death!" The Heavenly Horned Ant also shouted out.
Regardless of what kind of competition it was, how they were going to seize the quota, none of this had anything to do with Shi Hao. He was in the lower realms, walking his own path.
They were too far away from each other, the eight regions' cage too distant. They were practically worlds apart.
"Hm? Who is that person? Why does he seem so familiar?"
Inside Void God Realm, when Shi Hao appeared with Ge Gu, a few people revealed strange expressions.
"That's Ge Gu, the heaven warping youngster! Not long ago, he fought with Xi Gu, many people witnessed it. Weren't you also going to watch? How could you forget so quickly?"
"No, I'm not talking about Ge Gu, but the one next to him. He really looks like… the Little Stone! Heavens, there's no mistake, it's him!"
A commotion erupted here. Everyone widened their eyes in shock, looking in that direction. Then, they rushed over, surrounding him.
Even though there were news that the Little Stone returned being spread around, not many people saw him, many people not believing these rumors. Now that they saw him with their own eyes, there was naturally a great uproar.
"Heavens, the Little Stone really did come back! Hurry and enter the Void God Realm! What is he doing? It is definitely something great!"
It could be said that Shi Hao's appearance created a huge disturbance in Desolate Region. Even those who didn't enter the Void God Realm were quickly informed by close friends and others, quickly entering.
Just like in the past, once Shi Hao appeared, Void God Realm would definitely erupt into commotion, all sides would swarm over to watch.
Today, just for the sake of seeing him, another great commotion was produced!

Chapter 1753 - Loves Drinking Milk the Most
Void God Realm was full of activity. Many people came over, all of them wishing to see the Little Stone for themselves, if he really did appear.
Ge Gu was still rather unwilling to accept things, but now, it seemed like the Little Stone's past reputation really was too great, far exceeding its imagination. Just his appearance triggered such a huge commotion.
Shi Hao naturally wouldn't make a stop. He brought Ge Gu with him, disappearing with a flash, quickly leaving into the distance. Apart from a few people, none of the others saw him.
"We were fooled, right? Did Shi Hao really appear? Why don't I see him?"
"Where is he? I came to Void God Realm to see the Little Stone's power myself."
Many people appeared, Void God Realm becoming noisy. However, most people missed out on seeing him.
"Where are those two old things?" Shi Hao mumbled. When he really wanted to find Bird Grandpa and Coid Elder, they were instead nowhere to be seen.
Even now, he didn't truly understand those two old fellas' backgrounds. They were definitely not ordinary, having their own secrets.
Through the bit that he did learn, he knew that those two had lost their physical bodies, only their souls remaining in Void God Realm. It was unknown just how many tens of thousands of years had passed, both of them already about to lose their sense of self.
A will to attain enlightenment, a will to fall into depravity, this described precisely these two.
Ge Gu was also searching, but he didn't find them.
"Normally, they come and go unpredictably. They always make the first move, never sought out." Ge Gu said.
Those two cherished geniuses. Whenever a heaven warping figure appeared, they would usually appear.
For example, when Shi Hao was just a newcomer, just having entered Void God Realm, he immediately drew their attention.
Moreover, in recent years, Ge Gu and Xi Gu's intense clash also drew their attention, appearing at their sides.
Void God Realm erupted into discussion, full of activity. Many people came to see the Little Stone, yet in the end, they didn't see anything. It really was regretful.
Shi Hao and Ge Gu exhausted great efforts to find those two old fellas, but ended up with nothing.
"Something isn't right. There is such great activity, so they should have appeared, especially after knowing that you came back." Ge Gu said.
When Shi Hao heard this, he laughed coldly and said, "I know what's going on. Those two old things are doing this on purpose, not wishing to meet me. They want to act shamelessly, not acknowledge their promise!"
"What do you mean?" Ge Gu was confused.
"In the past, they would always use all types of excuses, not willing to honor their commitments, now they're running from me on purpose, not wishing to give me my reward." Shi Hao said, sniffing out something.
"Then what can we do?" The crimson dragon Ge Gu's face fell.
It now completely acknowledged Shi Hao. It was a True Dragon, yet actually didn't know its clan's secret technique, this was a bit humiliating. It felt like if Shi Hao really could teach it the unmatched secret technique, even… if it had to take him as his master, it wasn't something it had to resist to the death.
For a dragon to be forced to this extent, one could see how anxious it was.
Otherwise, it might become the most unreliable True Dragon of all of history, as well as the weakest True Dragon, truly a laughing stock recorded in the history books.
These were what the golden lion secretly muttered to him to add pressure.
Of course, this was also incited by Shi Hao. Who could blame him for wanting it as his disciple?
"It's easy, I'll settle it and force those two old fellas to appear."
Hong!
When Shi Hao saw an altar, he walked over, and then took a deep breath. A fist directly smashed out.
Then, he continued forward, smashing everything in his path, from the mountains to the rivers, and then to the palace halls, smashing everything in his path.
In the end, this triggered a huge commotion.
This was a spiritual world, rumored to be a world created by the deities, formed from order and natural laws.
It was extremely sturdy, like a perfect world.
However, this rigidity also had a limit. When faced with Shi Hao's power exceeding the limit, these natural laws could be destroyed and crushed.
Back then, when he broke the records, he had done precisely this type of thing.
"Heavens, who is that? Has he gone mad? Is he going to completely trash the Void God Realm?!"
The people in the surroundings were shocked. They saw that wherever that person went, the void would collapse, as if worlds were being destroyed, affecting the stability of Void God Realm.
Then, steles appeared in many places, record steles.
"Number one in fist strength!"
At this moment, in all different areas, everyone couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
Someone broke a record, moreover a world-shocking record! It was actually fist strength that oppressed the present world, overlooking the experts of all clans throughout the ages.
This was not a normal record, because fist strength, from a certain perspective, might be close to true combat strength!
Number one fist strength, even if their fighting strength wasn't number one, it was likely not far off.
There were many records, but there were some that were extremely special, having great weight. Without a doubt, number one fist strength was just too shocking, stunning the world.
Even Ge Gu was stupefied. This fella who kept trying to make himself its master was too ferocious, right? It was almost as if he didn't even have any intention to break records, only randomly destroying things, yet this glorious achievement was made!
The crimson dragon felt a bit dizzy. It saw the resplendent stele. Not only were there characters there, there was also a fist that released glorious divine light, illuminating the dome of heaven.
This proved that his fist strength was terrifyingly great, exceeding all past records by a good amount!
Everyone was shaken, momentarily finding it hard to speak, a bit stupefied.
Soon afterwards, everyone noticed the name left below the stele.
Who was the one who broke the record? Everyone felt that it was most likely that person. The Little Stone returned, who else could it be?
Pu!
When someone saw the name, he couldn't but spurt out what he was drinking.
Even some aloof and reserved young ladies had strange expressions, truly unable to hold themselves back, all of them holding their mouths, laughing until their bodies rocked back and forth.
"Haha…" As for the men, they laughed even more openly.
"It really is him!"
"Haha, it's still this name! If it didn't appear now, I would have almost forgotten!"
…
Everyone roared with laughter.
Everyone was already sure that this was done by the Little Stone, he returned.
However, the name that was left behind wasn't Shi Hao, but rather a long weird name: Loves Drinking Milk the Most!
Puhaha!
Forget about others, even Ge Gu who followed at Shi Hao's side couldn't hold back, immediately spurting out his saliva, laughing until his body bent over, small face becoming red from laughter.
Dark lines covered Shi Hao's face, giving him a hateful stare. Right now, he really felt like one's dignity was not protected from their past, that all of his reputation was being lost.
Back then, he was still a child, undisciplined and out of control, doing whatever he wanted. Back then, he hadn't even completely stopped drinking milk, leaving behind this name when breaking records.
Thus, the Void God Realm remembered him as such, this name becoming his title in this realm.
As a result, whenever he appeared, truly wishing to break a record, make a stele appear, this name would appear.
After all these years had passed, he had long matured from being a child, now a young man in his twenties, in his golden age. However, it was actually still that name.
Even though Shi Hao's skin was extremely thick, right now, he still felt his face burning. This really let down his heroicness and decisiveness!
Loves Drinking Milk the Most, just how embarassing of a name was this? He really wanted to run.
However, in front of the disciple he had already decided on, as well as everyone's faces, this name was 'ignited' again, everyone knowing of it.
It was because that stele would appear in all places, informing all under the sky. Everyone knew about this.
Shi Hao really wanted to just smash this stele to bits, destroy all traces of its existence, and then make his getaway.
Dang!
He immediately put his thoughts into action, striking the record stele before him, smashing it to pieces with a single fist.
This made Ge Gu's expression change!
This was enough to prove the strength of Shi Hao's fists. Otherwise, how could a record stele be smashed? Normally, it was impossible!
However, what left Shi Hao shocked was that this stele shattered, but immediately afterwards, another appeared, on it a new record.
It was still related to fist strength. In that instant, he broke his own fist strength record.
What was inscribed on it was still the 'Loves Drinking Milk the Most' name, just too striking.
Pu!
Many people couldn't help but laugh.
It was because it was written clearly, stating that out of shame and humiliation, he destroyed the recording stele, deserving of punishment. However, at the same time, he broke another record.
Shi Hao really was about to faint. Even this was a thing?
His face was incredibly overcast. This was too shameful!
"Haha, it really is the Little Stone! Heheh, he still has the same style as before, undisciplined and out of control, still trying to erase all traces, only to make that title even more prominent."
"Haha, I believe he is feeling extreme regret right now. Back then, when he decided on this name, it really was too outrageous."
Many people were laughing, at the same time taking joy in his calamity.
Being able to see the Little Stone suffer, driven crazy, this was something that made many people feel amusement.
While Shi Hao's face was darkened, he finally saw Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder, the two appearing together.

Chapter 1754 - Void God Realm's Limits
"Damn brat, breaking Void God Realm the moment you return to it, are you trying to rebel? We ought to punish you, not give you any of the rewards from breaking records!" Coin Grandpa threatened.
"What punishment? I came to demand repayment. You all never honored the promise of a precious technique from all those years ago." Shi Hao walked forward.
Even though the two old fellas had thick skin, they still found it a bit hard to continue with this, because they really weren't all that sincere. After all these years, they still didn't honor their commitment.
"You all should know that last time, I fought my way down from Spirit Realm." Shi Hao then said.
"Let's leave this place first, we'll talk along the way." Bird Grandpa said.
Sou sou
They disappeared from their original locations, quickly leaving, because many people were hurrying over, someone discovering Shi Hao's whereabouts.
"Stop beating around the bush. I've already gathered all the bronze pieces, it is just the heavenly book you all promised that's left." Shi Hao shot them a look of disdain.
This place was extremely desolate, but it was also extraordinary, chaotic energy surging from all sides.
"Sigh, it's not that we don't want to give it to you, but rather that it's a bit difficult." Bird Grandpa said. His gaze was a bit lost, the bird on his shoulder also had a bewildered expression, a bit absent-minded.
Shi Hao looked at them. These two's conditions weren't that good, even the bird experiencing some issues.
"You all fall into depravity with a thought, one thought achieving enlightenment, don't tell me you two really can't hold on much longer." Shi Hao asked out of worry.
When he came last time, he already noticed some issues. These two's souls were entrusted to Void God Realm, and now, there was a great issue, actually showing signs of deterioration.
"We are still okay for now, not too bad." Coin Elder said, stroking his beard.
"Was this dragon subdued by you?" Coin Elder asked.
The crimson dragon was immediately annoyed, rolling his eyes, glaring at the two of them. Even though he knew that they might be the controllers of the Void God Realm, he was still extremely dissatisfied.
"This is my disciple, in the future, he will inherit some of my teachings." Shi Hao replied.
"You are taking in disciples when you are still this young?" Coin Elder smirked. However, he felt like this crimson dragon serving as Shi Hao's disciple was still rather fitting.
"Sigh, I've been afflicted with the Immortal Breaking Curse, might not have much time left. I have to leave behind a disciple, you know?" Shi Hao feigned pain.
"What?" The two of them were both shocked. They immediately became clear-headed, their expressions no longer distracted, they were startled instead.
Immortal Breaking Curse, what was this? Even true immortals would be crippled without exception, powerful to the extreme!
"Do seniors have any way of getting rid of it?" Shi Hao humbly asked for guidance.
It was because while in that life restricted region, he had asked that white-clothed man how to get rid of this curse. At the very least, the lord of the restricted region had never heard of a way to get rid of it, could only face it head-on.
However, it was rumored that apart from immortal kings, all those who suffered from the curse were crippled, it was merely a matter of time.
Shi Hao was a bit stunned at the time. There was actually no cure?!
The lord of the restricted region was extremely direct, telling him that it was precisely why there was no way to get rid of it that it was worth him using this to test Shi Hao. Only by miraculously making it through in the end, not being crippled, was there a chance of him becoming history's most powerful Self Release Realm cultivator.
At the time, Shi Hao released a bitter smile. What was the point of being history's strongest Self Release Realm cultivator? Even true immortals were crippled in the end!
Of course, he understood what the lord of the restricted region meant. It was because the other party experienced too much, witnessed too many hardships. What he needed now was someone who surpassed all other experts, at the very least, someone who exceeded him, the lord of the restricted region.
Otherwise, any further nurturing was useless. Shi Hao would be just like the eight previous true immortals, all of them dying in the end.
The enemies and situations the lord of the restricted region faced might be extremely terrifying, or else he himself wouldn't have died.
Shi Hao knew that the white-clothed man wanted to head to the other side of the dam, advance forward, but back then, he returned while covered in blood, dying soon afterwards.
The successor this type of person needed naturally exceeded all those of the past, needed to become the most powerful!
Immortal Breaking Curse, it shredded through the cultivation of immortal dao level existences, viewed even by that white-clothed man as a testing stone, able to assess if Shi Hao truly possessed heaven-defying power.
Shi Hao could only sigh. This type of test really was too severe.
Which was why when he saw Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder he asked for guidance like this. It really was no different from giving medicine to a dead horse.
"The era we experienced, it ought to be… we have heard of the Immortal Breaking Curse, but we don't have too deep of an impression. It seems to not have any cure." Coin Elder said.
Shi Hao already knew that something was wrong with them for quite some time, that they forgot some things of their past.
"There is no point in hiding anything from you anymore. We were injured, moreover, we were guarding some things, which was why our conditions seem to be worsening." Coin Elder said.
He admitted that he would often forget some things, and that it was related to this.
"What are you two guarding?" Shi Hao was shocked.
"Let's go, we'll fetch your precious technique now, but it'll depend on you to see if you can obtain it. At the same time, you'll be able to see what we are suppressing for yourself." Bird Grandpa said.
Shi Hao's mind jumped. He knew that he was about to touch upon Void God Realm's hidden events, possibly its greatest secret.
The crimson dragon was extremely nervous. It was because sometimes, they spoke with their backs to him, secretly transmitting sound, not letting him hear.
There were some less important things that it could hear.
They followed a path that led into the sky, through the clouds, taking an ancient road into a boundless area of primal chaos.
A bluestone path was spread in the void. Shi Hao and the others walked to its end. They arrived at a giant ancient palace, as well as a prison.
What kind of place was this? He was full of doubts.
This was, without a doubt, a place within Void God Realm that had never been revealed to outsiders. There were great secrets hidden within!
"Be careful, don't get too close." Bird Grandpa reminded.
When they approached the giant black ancient palace, they stopped Shi Hao.
In the palace, it was extremely dark, but he could still make out some stone statues. They were ancient and mysterious, all long cracked apart, but there wasn't much dust covering them.
However, the statues had chains around their bodies, tightly bound.
Shi Hao knew that all of this was formed from spiritual force, including those chains, that they were all unmatched natural laws.
As soon as they approached, he sensed extraordinary power. It was extremely mysterious, posing a threat to even him.
One had to understand that he had already reached the extreme in Void God Realm, but he still felt as if he was being stared at by a great desolate beast, sensing danger. This place was definitely unordinary.
On the ancient stone statues, there was some faint black mist swirling about, carrying demonic power.
"You all are falling into depravity because of them?" Shi Hao asked Bird Grandpa in shock.
"There are other reasons as well." Bird Grandpa said.
This was too much of a shock! These statues were this terrifying?
Shi Hao looked over. Beyond this palace was a great prison, inside of it extremely bizarre altars. Every single one of these altars had a sealed vessel, carrying traces of blood.
The altars were borrowed to seal the jars, the blood unknown if it was needed for the sealing, or if it overflowed from the vessels.
There were several dozen altars, several dozen vessels!
The vessels were also releasing black mist carrying demonic power.
Shi Hao frowned. This type of black mist was a bit familiar, carrying the ominous and inauspiciousness. It was just like the sinister black mist Great Elder Meng Tianzheng faced at the final crux of his immortal ascension.
"The precious technique you want is being suppressed over there. I fear that you are unable to head over and seize it." Bird Grandpa said.
There were two bone books, one piece in the black palace, one in the prison.

Chapter 1755 - Worthy Opponents
"What kind of precious technique is it?" Shi Hao asked.
"An unmatched technique in this world, as well as the precious technique you need the most!" Coin Elder said.
Shi Hao looked forward to it, his eyes starting to burn with desire. Those two bones were both extraordinary. They looked ordinary, but mysterious characters were faintly discernible, releasing immortal energy.
"It doesn't seem to be my clan's precious technique." The crimson dragon said, a bit apprehensive, and also a bit disappointed.
Under Shi Hao's 'rational words', it already lowered its head a bit, might take him as its master. It was because it really wanted to become a True Dragon who knew its own clan's unmatched precious technique.
However, after arriving in Void God Realm, it discovered that all of these dreams might amount to nothing.
"True Phoenix Precious Technique." Bird Grandpa said. He sighed. This type of wondrous technique possessed endless power, moreover allowing rebirth through flames, the most suitable for Shi Hao.
One of those two bones was in the black palace hall, the other in the prison, floating quietly. These were pheonix bones.
To be more precise, they were formed from interweaving phoenix bone texts, innately carrying the greatest power, purifying the black mist here.
"You don't have any way of bringing it away, can only study it here. However, this is still extremely dangerous, you might fall into depravity as a result."
Coin Elder warned, his expression serious.
"I've even been afflicted with the Immortal Breaking Curse, what black mist is there to be scared of? Just how far can I even fall?" Shi Hao didn't feel any fear.
"Immortal Breaking Curse will only cripple your cultivation, but this will affect your mind, make you fall into darkness!" Bird Grandpa's expression was extremely serious. He released a long sigh.
Of course, the most dangerous thing wasn't limited to just this. Regardless of whether it was the stone statues or those sealed vessels, they were all extremely terrifying.
Bird Grandpa warned him, having him be careful.
It was because they already saw that Shi Hao set his resolution to head over, wishing to obtain the True Phoenix Precious Technique.
Shi Hao definitely wouldn't miss this chance. This was the greatest divine ability from one of the Vicious Ten, how could he leave a treasury empty-handed?
This was especially when this Phoenix Secret Technique was something he was extremely interested in. Apart from its powerful offensive power, the undying body was also something that he longed for.
Rebirth through flames, undying phoenix body, from the past to present, it was unknown just how many creatures were drawn to this method, desiring it greatly.
Now, an opportunity was right before his eyes!
Only the crimson dragon was unhappy. It felt like it might become the laughingstock of the True Dragon bloodline. It didn't even grasp its own clan's divine ability, not obtaining its inheritance, what kind of True Dragon was it?
Shi Hao moved, walking into the black palace.
Hualala!
Right at this moment, ice-cold chains sounded, piercing into the soul. It was too sudden, and also extremely terrifying.
Those statues were stone sculptures, but now, they actually moved, all of them reaching out a hand, striking towards Shi Hao.
Peng peng peng!
Shi Hao's expression changed. These stone statues were too extraordinary, ridiculously powerful, making him sense the threat of death. He had to go all out in facing them.
"A fierce person! This little fella is ridiculously strong, almost a bit outrageous." Bird Grandpa inwardly sighed.
Coin Elder also nodded, greatly acknowledging Shi Hao's strength. He was now much stronger than he was before he went to the higher realms. He definitely made even greater breakthroughs on the path of breaking past the limit.
This was unrelated to one's cultivation level. In this place where everyone's cultivation level was the same, what was compared was only the path exceeding the limits of this realm, a contest of who was the most powerful at the same level.
From a certain perspective, this was a fostering of the most powerful in history in a certain cultivation level.
After just a brief exchange, Shi Hao was stunned, feeling greatly shaken. Ever since he reached where he was today, he rarely met his match at the same level.
However, in this place, he felt pressured. These stone statues were too powerful. The large hands that were reaching out were covered in chains, releasing hualala sounds, just too ferocious.
Right now, it was as if several unmatched beings descended into this world, arriving from the ancient times, challenging him. They met face to face, destined to end in flowing blood.
"What kind of creature is this?" Shi Hao backed up, in the end returning, not facing them head-on. It was because he was greatly shaken inwardly.
"Paramount beings, unknown which age they lived in. They were previously consecrated in some temples in a realm, some powerful figures among our predecessors sealing a portion of their imprints here." Bird Grandpa said.
This was a major event he still remembered, because the impact was too great, not fading from his memory even now.
Shi Hao's expression was overcast. He stared at those statues.
"Even if you aren't a match, there is no shame. If you could stop even one of those stone statues, then it can already be considered defying the heavens." Coin Elder said.
"Who said I wasn't a match?" Shi Hao was naturally unconvinced.
However, he had no choice but to admit that these stone beings were too strange. Right now, only a hand reached out, yet it was already this powerful. If the shackles really were undone and they went all out against him, what kind of result would there be?
"I recall a saying that the most powerful can be fostered and nurtured here." Bird Grandpa said.
When Shi Hao heard this, his pupils contracted. It seemed like these stone statues being chained up here wasn't just simply to be suppressed, they also served as a terrifying lighthouse for inspiring later generations.
"I want to release a stone sculpture, undo all of its iron chains, fight it with all of my strength!" Shi Hao said.
"You better not!" Coin Elder was given a fright.
Bird Grandpa was also shaken. He hurriedly waved his hand, this definitely wouldn't do.
"There are some recordings here, have a look." Coin Elder said. There were some indistinct words carved into the ground, informing those of later generations that they absolutely must not undo the shackles.
It was because every single one of these stone statues were truly without equal, no one able to subdue them.
"This is an interesting place, I like it!" Shi Hao said.
He was rather fascinated with this place, finding a training ground for improving his own cultivation. These stone statues would become his training partners in the future. He believed that one day, he would personally undo their restrictions.
"If you want to sharpen yourself, you can enter the prison. However, let me warn you, you must come back quickly after entering each time, must not waste too much time." Coin Elder said.
According to what they said, inside the prison, the creatures sealed within those vessels on the altar were also extremely terrifying, he couldn't continue fighting them zealously.
"This is too great! I was running out of opponents, who would have thought that there would be a bunch of them here in Void God Realm!" Shi Hao was excited, not fearful at all, nodding here.
Hong!
This time, he rushed in, not facing the stone statues, but rather the prison region.
In the end, as soon as he approached, a bloody arm reached out from a vessel, attacking him viciously. Great dao force erupted, extremely terrifying.
Peng!
Shi Hao faced it head-on, his brows furrowing. Were the creatures here all this powerful?
"Don't look down on them! The sealed creatures are powerful beyond imagination!" Coin Elder warned.
"Every one of them exceeds the limit!" Bird Grandpa added.
When Shi Hao heard this, he was greatly shaken. These sealed creatures' origins were definitely terrifyingly great. Just where did they come from?
Hong!
Many of the jars swayed. As long as he approached them, a bloody palm or claw would reach out and attack Shi Hao murderously.
These creatures were ridiculously powerful, making Shi Hao's mind sink.
This place was too extraordinary, he had to get to the bottom of this. If a swarm of these experts appeared one day, how was he even supposed to fight? Would he alone even make a difference?
"This is a corner of the dark prophecy, merely a simulation. There were some war generals trapped here to sharpen those of later generations."
Right at this time, Bird Grandpa seemed to be talking in his sleep, actually speaking these words.
Even he himself was shocked, feeling a bit perplexed.
It was clear that these were memories from the depths of his mind, previously forgotten from the corruption. However, now that he was startled, he spoke this involuntarily.
"Excellent, in the future, this place will be my training place!"
Shi Hao now felt like coming to the lower realms might be even more important than cultivating in the higher realm. He encountered such great enemies here, all of them the highest quality grindstones.
Chi!
He turned into a streak of light, rushing over, seizing the piece of phoenix bone, examining it there.

Chapter 1756 - True Phoenix Precious Technique Obtained
There were altars everywhere, all of them with bloodstained containers on them!
Hands and claws reached out from these jars one after another, displaying ancient divine abilities, attacking Shi Hao. A great battle erupted here.
In the end, Shi Hao's hair was all over the place, body covered in injuries, even hair bloody. He slaughtered his way out, body staggering.
"What's wrong, are you alright?" Bird Grandpa asked in shock.
"I'm fine!" Shi Hao said. He sat down on the ground, operating mysterious techniques with all of his strength, forcing out strand after strand of black mist to prevent himself from falling into depravity.
This place was too strange. Shi Hao had already slaughtered his way in three times, each time only returning after being seriously injured. He could only stand there for a short amount of time each time, study that piece of True Phoenix Precious Technique briefly.
That thing couldn't be brought out, could only be studied there.
It was because those patterns were extremely complex, like the stars of the sky, possessing countless changes, too wonderful for words.
This was not a normal scripture, there was a portion of immortal text. However, more than ninety percent was dao text, deriving the most basic natural laws, great dao power.
It continuously changed, expounding upon the True Phoenix's profound mysteries!
It was clear that the one who left behind the scripture believed that describing the True Phoenix Precious Technique with just characters was overly simple, that the True Phoenix' great dao had to be used to expound on it, only then could one fully receive the secrets within.
However, if this happened, for normal people, the difficulty would definitely be great. This was the secret technique of the phoenix bloodline, it was difficult for other creatures to comprehend it.
It was capable of endless transformations, complex like stars in the sky, enough to make one's head hurt.
This needed time to comprehend, to experience, like an endlessly profound heavenly text.
Shi Hao slaughter his way in and out three times, able to sense the True Phoenix Precious Technique for a moment each time. In his eyes, those bone texts danced about like phoenixes.
Those patterns carried fiery light, accompanied by a True Phoenix spreading its wings, soaring into the sky. When it died, it would be reborn through flames, dazzling and brilliant, its body covering heaven and earth, and then the cosmos itself.
This was what Shi Hao felt. The True Phoenix Precious Technique was extremely horrifying. It was profound and and immeasurable.
If one really wanted to fully comprehend it, then one needed astonishing talent. Otherwise, it was impossible to make sense of it.
Chi!
When the last strand of black mist was expelled from Shi Hao's body, he got up, and then rushed right back in. His objective was clear, which was precisely the profound mysteries on the phoenix bone.
Honglong!
A great battle erupted here once more. Shi Hao made his way past the palace hall, slaughtering his way into the prison, fighting intensely while studying the Phoenix Secret Technique.
The crimson dragon Ge Gu became silent. It couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Huang was too strong, more formidable than himself!
Previously, it was still unwilling to accept defeat, believing that if they fought at the same cultivation realm, Huang likely wouldn't be its opponent. Even when it was fighting an intense battle against Xi Gu, Shi Hao still rushed straight in, restraining both of them. At that time, it couldn't accept that result, feeling like it had been too careless.
However now, after observing several great battles, it was already sure that Huang had reached the pinnacle of the extreme path, revealing his unmatched bearing in this domain.
It was to the extent where it even suspected that Huang might be history's most powerful Self Release Realm cultivator.
At the same time, it was extremely shaken by the sealed vessels here. Every single one of them had a creature, all of them past unmatched figures.
This was just too terrifying, if they were let out, what would happen? It was simply unimaginable!
As Shi Hao continued to fight, he had to admit that right now, he had a huge handicap. It was because each vessel could only release one hand, it wasn't the true body that appeared.
Moreover, only the few vessels closest to him posed danger, the powerful sealing force restricted their range of attacks.
Despite this being the case, being surrounded by enemies like this was still a desperate struggle. All types of divine abilities and ancient techniques flew over, blasting him until his entire body was covered in blood, leaving him in an extremely miserable condition.
However, he didn't cower. This was the fourth time he slaughtered his way back in, fighting intensely while focusing half his attention on the phoenix bone, continuing to study it.
He was studying the True Phoenix Precious Technique!
It was clear that Shi Hao possessed astonishing perception abilities, still making some gains during this life and death struggle. From time to time, his body would release brilliance, as if he was bathed in divine flames, improving his injured body's condition.
It could be said that he was immediately putting what he learned into practice. The Rebirth in Flames Technique was precisely a portion of the Phoenix Secret Technique's essence!
Shi Hao fought fiercely. When faced with attacks from such powerful enemies, he even had to deal with the black mist wafting out from the vessels and sticking to his body.
From a certain perspective, this thing was far more terrifying.
Perhaps nothing might happen in the short term, but if it was truly allowed to corrode the body, then it would be extremely bad. Meng Tianzheng was an example.
Shi Hao wouldn't forget the final battle of Desolate Border. This was precisely how Meng Tianzheng disappeared!
Apart from this, Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder guarded this place year-round, also suffering serious problems as a result.
Pu!
Shi Hao spat out a large mouthful of blood, body flying outwards. He adjusted his breathing again, repairing his injured body, expelling the black mist.
Just like that, Shi Hao continued a vicious cycle of fighting. Blood dyed the ancient palace and prison, the most astonishing great battles unfolding here.
Unfortunately, no one in the outside world knew.
If the long life families of the Nine Heavens above knew of this, they would definitely be shocked. Even someone as powerful as Huang met his match, being injured by the creatures sealed here.
If even just a few of these sealed creatures escaped, or one of those bound stone statues was released, just what kind of result would there be?
It would most likely be a great disaster!
Shi Hao was fighting intensely. After six days and six nights of bloody battles, he finally engraved all of the true meanings on the two phoenix bones in his mind, moreover obtaining a set amount of achievements.
He couldn't be considered to have grasped it, but he engraved the boundless and endless patterns into his mind. Now, he could truly cultivate and test it out.
The True Phoenix Precious Technique was at hand!
This was a divine ability Shi Hao had always wanted to obtain. Today, he finally completely succeeded.
When everything calmed down, Shi Hao breathed heavily. Then, he closed his eyes, resting here for an extremely long time.
Six continuous days of intense battles left him unbearably exhausted. Even his bones were all broken, the most dangerous time, five holes were pierced into his skull. Fortunately, he stuck it out.
A wave of flames moved, attaching to the surface of his body like the plume feathers of a phoenix, extremely brilliant and dazzling. They surrounded him, a wave of exuberant life force spilling out.
Hong!
Shi Hao got up, standing there. He completely recovered.
Just the bit of the Phoenix Secret Technique's Rebirth Divine Ability he learned produced great results.
Shi Hao was happy. If he completely grasped this wondrous technique, even if he was seriously injured in the future, he could still be reborn. There were no precious techniques more precious than this.
This was a life saving extreme art!
"Bird Grandpa, Coin Elder, many thanks. I need to return to the real world to test some things out." Shi Hao said his goodbyes.
His benefits this time were huge. He needed to digest and analyze, completely get to the bottom of this.
Today, the True Phoenix Precious Technique once again fully appeared in this world!
Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder both sighed. They really chose the right person, he actually succeeded.
One had to understand that this place looked peaceful, but once one rushed in, it was basically guaranteed death. The sealed creatures were too powerful, easily killing all the so-called heaven warping geniuses.
"Lower realms, prison." Shi Hao said to himself. Then, he suddenly turned around towards the two elders, his eyes erupting with brilliance.
It was because Shi Hao suddenly became alert, sensing that he might have overlooked something.
"I seemed to have been misled. Could it be that the lower realm's prison isn't the eight regions, but rather in the Void God Realm?!" Shi Hao was shaken.
He felt like there were some curtains covering his mind that were suddenly torn apart, pushed aside fiercely.
This speculation was extremely astonishing, different from what others suspected!
Some secrets of the lower realms were hidden in the Void God Realm!
"The so-called prison aren't the eight regions. The so-called unmatched criminals, were suppressed in Void God Realm." Shi Hao's voice became hoarse. He looked towards those two elders.

Chapter 1757 - A Phoenix Without Wings
"Youngster, you are overthinking things. What are you speculating?"
Bird Grandpa's expression became vacant, eyes lacking radiance, unable to give Shi Hao any useful warnings. Black mists spread here, the two elders' corruption severe.
Even though the two great experts both operated secret methods, the efficiency of expelling the black mist wasn't great.
It was because after all these years, the black mist had long seeped in. It was impossible to completely eliminate it.
"Seniors, goodbye!" Shi Hao didn't search any deeper, planning to go back first.
In the future, he would definitely come back here, because there were opponents here, creatures who could truly fight great battles with him. They were dao bodies that could be used to temper him.
Shi Hao left. For the sake of becoming even stronger, he had to cultivate. He believed that he would return to truly challenge the existences here soon.
At that time, he would become an unsheathed immortal blade, pointed at all so-called world-shocking experts!
Behind Stone Village, within a muddy area, Shi Hao set up a formation.
At his cultivation level, as long as he had the formation diagram and magical force, setting up something with just a rough drawing was possible.
He robbed various sects, bringing down too many treasures from the higher realms, so establishing a complete divine formation was completely not an issue.
Hu!
Fiery light surged, a True Dragon rushed into the heavens. Ge Gu was trapped in the formation, currently screaming out.
"Still lacking quite a bit!" Shi Hao said.
He was training this crimson dragon, teaching it divine abilities, truly treating it like his own disciple.
Ge Gu was cultivating there, forced to. In the formation, its destructive force was weakened, restrained to the limit. Its power wouldn't harm the great wilderness.
During these past few days, the crimson dragon yielded. After some serious consideration, it took Shi Hao as its master!
Right now, it was going through the most difficult training. It was extremely special, making it roar out, drawing the attention of many people in Stone Village.
Its experiences really were bitter, because it had to first forget its own clan, screaming out, "I am a phoenix!"
The golden lion, Yun Xi, and the others were naturally startled, all of them stupefied. Did this dragon go crazy from Shi Hao's training?
Previously, it was only immersing itself diligently in cultivation, but now, it actually shouted out these words, going mad. Was there something wrong with its brain?
Everyone suspected that Shi Hao had driven this True Dragon insane.
"I am a phoenix, my talent unmatched, rebirth through flames!" The crimson dragon screamed, voice resounding.
"You wanted to be its master, but how could you force it like this? Even its mind has become unclear." Yun Xi said, warning Shi Hao not to go too far. Having Ge Gu cultivate bitterly every day like this would produce big issues.
"It didn't go mad. I am teaching it a skill. If one wishes to cultivate an unmatched precious technique, one must forget oneself!" Shi Hao calmly replied.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't know why he was treating the crimson dragon like this.
"I am a phoenix, a phoenix without wings!" Ge Gu roared out, its voice becoming even louder. The fiery light around its body became even more powerful.
Everyone became stunned, their expressions becoming increasingly strange.
"Actually, the reasoning is extremely simple. It didn't obtain the True Dragon bloodline's highest inheritance, so I am teaching it the great method of a different clan, changing it to the True Phoenix Secret Technique." Shi Hao explained.
At first, he encountered the crimson dragon's fierce resistance. It was because if this happened, then it really would be made fun of. The True Dragon of this generation actually didn't know its own clan's technique, moreover had to learn the True Phoenix' wondrous technique.
Now, Ge Gu began to let these things go.
As it roared, it gradually truly treated itself as a phoenix.
"I am a phoenix without wings!" The crimson dragon roared.
Its voice was still extremely tender, but resolute. It was brainwashing itself, completely immersing itself into this process.
Chi!
Phoenix wings spread at the sides of its body, two streaks of scarlet multicolored light flickered, tearing apart the skies, the power terrifying.
Soon afterwards, a True Phoenix soared into the heavens. Two streaks of scarlet multicolored light appeared, spreading like a pair of divine wings into the heavens, reflecting the Phoenix Clan's terrifying power.
There was no True Dragon Precious Technique, so Shi Hao taught it the Phoenix Secret Technique.
The main reason why Shi Hao had it go through this was because there was the legend of dragon and phoenix pair.
If the two clans' great secret methods were concentrated into one body, then that would be an unmatched inheritance able to sweep through all under the sky.
If the crimson dragon first learned the Phoenix Clan's divine ability, in the future, as its cultivation advanced, once it awakened the True Dragon Clan's secret technique inheritance, then that would truly be displaying the legend of dragon and phoenix.
"I am a lion without wings! No, I am a phoenix!" The golden lion also shouted, skin extremely thick, moving over, asking Shi Hao for the True Phoenix Precious Technique.
In the end, Shi Hao rejected it without hesitation.
"You are just a foreign demon, what right do you have to obtain the Nine Heavens' highest secret method? If you want to learn, that's fine too, on the premise that you fully yield and hand over all of your secrets." Shi Hao shot it a look of disdain.
The golden lion's face darkened, feeling extremely dissatisfied.
"You still aren't convinced? I had you seek out the five-colored sparrow, yet in the end, you still haven't caught it. You think I can still entrust anything to you?" Shi Hao mocked.
The golden lion vowed that it really didn't act lazy, always searching for the five-colored sparrow. After being pooped on, it couldn't swallow this resentment no matter what.
Only, it couldn't catch it no matter what it did, so it could only suffer in resentment.
Shi Hao had always been cultivating during this time, comprehending the True Phoenix' profound mysteries. When instructing the crimson dragon, he only used some time fragments, most of the time, he was cultivating himself.
That day, Qingfeng returned.
Shi Hao got up. After understanding the situation from him, he got onto the golden lion, returning to Stone Country with Qingfeng. He was going to take action.
During these past few days, great waves stirred through Desolate Region. Many people knew of Shi Hao's return, all of them discussing this.
Of course, there were some who didn't believe the rumors, believing that there was something wrong with the Void God Realm and the name Loves Drinking Milk the Most.
"I feel like only his primordial spirit came down from the higher realm, entering Void God Realm, his true body didn't really return. Just think about it, what kind of place is the higher realm? Now, no one can come back down."
"However, Stone Country Imperial Palace released news that the Little Stone really did come back. Also, Mysterious Region also released information that Princess Qianqian ran into the Little Stone in Mysterious Region, so how can it still be fake information?"
"This is where you are wrong. Right now, Stone Country's situation is unstable, Stone Emperor might be abdicated. Those who are supporting him couldn't help but release some shocking information."
Many people believed that Shi Hao returned, but there were some who were stubborn, believing that there was no way his true body could come down from the higher realm, finding all types of reasonings to support themselves.
Stone Country Imperial Palace, many people didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Real information actually incurred doubts from some people, in disbelief.
However, all of the noise was going to be quelled today.
It was because Shi Hao appeared in Stone Country Imperial Capital, moreover taking action powerfully, shocking all sides.
There were two powerful old kings who resisted. With a raise of Shi Hao's hand, they were captured, too easy.
"Your Majesty!"
These two clans panicked, the remaining people's faces becoming pale. They knelt down, shivering in fear, all of them extremely uneasy.
In reality, during these days, they spent them in panic, just fearing that the young Stone Emperor would settle things when he returned.
It was because during these years, they stood close to the original Stone Country Imperial Clan's direct line of descent, wishing to force Qingfeng off the throne.
"Back then, I was not stingy to your clans, even granting you all some rare pill medicines. In the end, this is how you repay me?!"
Shi Hao said coldly, a wave of true anger stirring within him.
Those two old kings were people he had cared about, so he granted their two clans many benefits. In the end, when he left, they actually began to scheme against his brother Qingfeng.
"Stone Emperor, please forgive our transgressions!" Someone from the two clans shouted, pleading for forgiveness.
Chi Chi
After these two shouts, Shi Hao was extremely direct. With a raise of his finger, the two old kings were crippled, not showing mercy.
What made him feel at ease was that War King, Peng King, and the others were unswerving from start to finish, protecting Qingfeng, not developing any other thoughts.
"Little Stone, you really are bold!"
Right at this time, a voice shouted from the distant horizon. Its speed was extremely fast, arriving on a divine flame, releasing the aura of a deity.
"Deity!" Someone cried out, sucking in cold air.
"Rain Clan asked someone for help! It was also precisely because they managed to ask out a divine level expert, rumored to be able to contend against the Zhuyan, that some people dare covet the throne." Someone said quietly.
Hong!
That creature quickly approached, divine flame burning the heavens. Moreover, dazzling brilliance shone from its head, auspicious multicolored light swirling about.
"Something's not right, that creature might have reached the True Self Realm, which is a true deity!" Someone sucked in a cold breath of air.
"Little Stone, you dare behave so ostentatiously, appear in the lower realms? Let me test you out a bit, see just what kind of skill you have to act so brazen!"
This deity level expert took action, grabbing towards Shi Hao.
It was because in many people's eyes, becoming a deity was too difficult. After ten years, Shi Hao might not have reached this level, the most heaven-defying probably right before true deity level.
Now, this existence was clearly a true deity, coming so powerful, wishing to capture the Little Stone. It was clear that those who were originally flustered developed some confidence.
However, the following scene left everyone shocked, completely stupefied.
This time, Shi Hao didn't move at all. In the end, the lion he rode on opened its bloody mouth. With a pu sound, half of that deity's body was bitten off with a single bite!
The world became silent, everyone stunned.

Chapter 1758 - God
A deity came so powerfully, yet in the end, half of its body was bitten off. This left everyone shocked!
This was completely different from what everyone imagined!
Ah…
That creature screamed out, breaking the peace. A rain of blood scattered down. It struggled intensely.
This was beyond everyone's expectations. The deity was extremely miserable, a small half of its body gone, ending up in that lion's bloody mouth, crushed with ga beng ga beng noises, directly swallowed.
The deity was in intense pain, ruined body contorting. The upper half was preserved. Its face was deathly pale, as if it saw a ghost, staring at the golden lion and Shi Hao.
With his strength, he had the power to fight even a true deity. However now, why did he suffer so miserably?
Before this, he had already thoroughly investigated the Little Stone. This was only a youngster in his twenties, so no matter how formidable he was, how heaven-defying could he be?
This deity felt like Shi hao shouldn't be able to become a true deity. His age was too low, he didn't have that foundation!
Becoming a deity was too hard, it wasn't just all talk. Even if the Little Stone became a supreme expert early, it was definitely difficult to achieve the true deity level in ten years.
However, reality was cruel, appearing bloodily before his eyes, leaving this deity shocked!
He knew that the Little Stone's cultivation far surpassed his imagination. Just his mount alone was already this terrifying, let alone the master. He shivered in fear.
"Did I see incorrectly? Just the Little Stone's mount was enough to get rid of that deity?"
"Heavens! What am I seeing? It is just a lion, yet it ate half of that deity!"
…
When everyone snapped out of their daze, they all erupted into a commotion. Stone Country Capital immediately became chaotic.
"You…" There wasn't a hint of color left on the deity's face, incredibly pale. The upper half of his body struggled out. He really did escape from the mouth of a lion, now scared badly.
Where did this lion come from? It was too vicious, chewing on his body like it was sugar cane.
This was completely different from what he imagined. In his opinion, once he came here himself, even if the Little Stone was a monster, it would still be difficult for him to withstand him, the Little Stone would still be suppressed.
After all, the years were there. Just how many years had Shi Hao cultivated for?
"Where did this shrimp come from? Do you not know the rules? Where do you think you are? Did you forget your own status?" The golden lion shot it a look, its expression full of disdain.
Together with its snow-white teeth that still carried blood, it really did look vicious. That deity was shocked to the point where his entire body was shaking, scalp even becoming numb.
This was a deity! In the lower realms, it could be said to be at the top of the food chain, definitely a top level expert. However, in this place, he was called a shrimp, this was too humiliating!
This deity dared feel anger but didn't dare speak out, the situation greater than the person. Right now, if it spoke viciously, this savage golden great lion might devour the other half of his body.
"Right, where did you come from?"
The golden lion shot it a look. It reached out a great claw, picking its teeth, getting rid of the bloody scraps, the scene extremely intimidating.
Forget about the owner of the ruined body, even the surrounding cultivators shivered, chills running down their entire bodies. This was definitely an extremely vicious beast.
The current golden lion, compared to before, was definitely more compromising.
Before, it was cold, and also of few words. The main reason was because it didn't really accept Shi Hao.
Now, these words and this savage style proved that it was already at its wit's end, already starting to get close to Shi Hao.
"I… came from the sea." This deity said.
He was really scared, not daring to act wildly. He quickly told them where he was from the moment he was questioned.
Back then, even though the eight regions were chaotic, not all experts suffered.
There were some who hid in secret lands, escaping the calamity.
This ocean beast was precisely one of the survivors. At that time, he was secluded within certain ancient remains in the sea.
When he emerged later, he really felt blessed, incomparably happy. After the eight regions experienced great changes, he definitely obtained the qualifications to become an overlord of a region, difficult for others to withstand his power.
Shi Hao didn't speak, just sitting on the golden lion, not moving at all, just watching it deal with this.
"Acting willfully in the seas is one thing, why did you run all the way over to Stone Country?" An old king from Stone Country asked.
Normally, even the lord of a country would be scared when facing a deity, not daring to provoke the other party, but today, it was different. The Young Human Emperor returned, even his mount able to act like this, open its mouth and devour deities, what else was there to be scared of?
"Someone invited me here." This deity lowered his head, extremely cooperative.
When these words were spoken, some of Stone Country's great clans' faces paled from fear, because they were the ones involved.
Apart from the two powerful clans who had their kings crippled, there were some other clans that participated. There weren't many, but they definitely had a set amount of influence.
Now, there was no way they could still act tough. Those families' important figures all stepped out, shivering in fear, kneeling down.
"They were able to invite someone like you?" Shi Hao finally spoke up. He didn't believe that normal people could invite out a deity.
It was the same as what the investigations revealed, it was Rain Clan who pulled the strings, invited this deity from the seas.
Back then, Rain Clan was dealt with quite severely by Shi Hao. They wanted to kill the Little Stone, but were instead beaten down. In the end, a group of people left for the sea, managing to contact the deity who left in the ancient times through some secret methods. Then, they got to know this deity out of coincidence. When an ancient deity cast down its projection, this deity gave it quite a bit of face.
Then, Rain Clan began to actively make moves, contacting some great clans in Stone Country, and thus, trouble began to stir.
Of course, the past Stone Country Emperor Clan's direct descendants also had some ambition. When they were found, they happily agreed, wishing to get Qingfeng off the throne.
Their only source of apprehension was from the Zhuyan, because they heard that it had also become a deity.
However, when this ocean deity produced some true deity level magical artifacts from the ruins, they all became filled with confidence.
"Interesting, you are nothing more than a Divine Flame Realm creature, but after some toys, you became like a true deity." The golden lion said.
He fished out some decorations from that individual's body, for example, a bone hairpin, violet-gold crown, and other things, these things actually able to strengthen one's magical force and dao comprehension, good stuff.
That deity felt endless pain inwardly as he watched the golden lion just take them like this. However, he didn't dare budge an inch.
Shi Hao gave them a look. These things, when compared to the Azure Armor and Long Life Battle Clothes, were too far off.
"I'll give you a chance. Capture everyone from Rain Clan, and I'll leave you with your life." Shi Hao said.
Of course, he couldn't just let him go like this. With a raise of Shi Hao's hand, this deity was given a few slaps, and then jabbed a few times as well, told that if he tried to run, the lion would act out sooner or later.
"Even if you die, your soul will forever be locked within a rotting body." Shi Hao warned, having him quickly complete his task.
This deity quickly nodded, not daring to say too much, immediately dragging its ruined body out of here, treating his injuries while catching people.
He really was scared. That was definitely a murderous fiend, his cultivation immeasurable. He felt like it was likely a high level true deity, perhaps even a heavenly deity!
Stone Country Capital City, everyone saw what took place clearly. They all had expressions of adoration on their faces.
As for those families that were kneeling on the ground, they had long begun to shiver in fear, terrified to the extreme.
Shi Hao didn't say anything, only raising his hand, continuously pointing out. Divine streaks of light flew out one after another, entering those people's bodies.
Under pu pu sounds, many people's cultivations were crippled, becoming mortals. They were originally the pillars of their clans, but now, they were directly ruined.
"When one does wrong, they will always have to pay the price in the end." After saying this, he handed the following cleanup to Qingfeng, War King, and the others.
Earlier, many people thought that Stone Country might face a disaster soon, that they were about to decline, even the country perhaps erased.
It was because they felt that when it reached a deity level battle, even if it was a powerful country, they still weren't enough, possibly being forcefully overthrown by a deity.
Yet everything ended completely differently.
The Little Stone returned. He was ridiculously powerful, suppressing the deity, overlooking Stone Country's clans. When faced with this disaster, he just swept through it all in one go!
"Qingfeng, some of these clans are thankless wretches. Deal with them how they should be dealt with." Shi Hao said.
He naturally felt anger. When he left back then, he attached great importance to some of these clans, bestowing enough benefits upon them. However, in the end, they were the first to jump out, rebelling.
Not a single one who was directly involved escaped, all of them crippled on the spot, forever unable to recover.
As for the remaining people, some of them had their cultivation crippled, some were sent to prison. That day, Stone Country shocked all sides.
A great disaster was suppressed just like that with the Little Stone's return.
The so-called great chaos, before Shi Hao, wasn't much at all.
When he decided to take action, it already signified that these clans were going to be pulled up by the roots, that they were finished.
News went out, leaving all sides shaken!
This was especially the case for Stone Country, all clans lowering their heads. Those from the borders clearly expressed that they wished to follow the young Stone Emperor.
That day, that deity returned, bringing some people back. They were all from Rain Clan, but unfortunately, there were some who weren't brought back.
This deity's expression was serious, bringing some news, he saw the projection of Rain Clan's ancient figure, which was why he was anxious and frightened.
"Not a big deal. If he really dares step out, just call me over." Shi Hao patted his shoulder.
After this event, Stone Country Capital City was bustling with activity. After the Little Stone's return was verified, some great clans became extremely excited.
As for many of the ordinary civilians, they had also witnessed Shi Hao's might back then. He had previously fought against some great clans, protecting this city, left with an extremely deep impression.
"Reporting, Princess Qianqian has come for a visit!"
That day, there were people who continuously came to make reports. They were all some old friends, when they learnt of Shi Hao's return to the lower realms, they hurried over to Stone Country Capital.
That same day, there were bad news that came out. From the eastern region, there was a great downpour, the rain getting more and more heavy, as if it was a river pouring down from the heavens!
"En, Rain Clan? Their true deity has appeared, about to come out?" Shi Hao looked east, a cold smile appearing on the corner of his lips.
He really wanted to see where the creature who left in the ancient times was casting its projection from. Now that he was angered, he didn't mind slaughtering his way into that realm to take a look.

Chapter 1759 - Ancient Deity Calamity
Stone Country eastern division, great rain poured down, incredibly ferocious, astonishingly great.
The entire world was inside a pool!
The rain that descended wasn't the rainwater the people knew about at all, but more like huge spheres, surging about, smashing down from the heavens.
When they landed on the ground, the pa pa noises were deafening, producing white-colored waves, overflowing like river water. All of it descended from the heavens above, entering the country!
When would one see this type of scene normally? All of the civilians were scared badly. The water level was climbing higher and higher, the houses were going to be flooded sooner or later.
Honglong!
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. A great rain poured down, becoming stronger and stronger.
The entire world entered darkness, dark clouds surging, sending down endless water. It poured down from the heavens like it was the end of the world.
Shi Hao moved quickly. After receiving a report, he immediately rushed through Stone Country Capital's skies, heading to the scene of the crime!
Along the way, he activated his Heavenly Eyes, gazing into the heavens. He was observing the irregular scenes at the limits of the horizon. Exactly what kind of existence was it who was causing trouble?!
This was extremely unusual, different from what he imagined. That was definitely someone with great abilities, someone he had to treat seriously!
Was it really the Rain Deity? He actually had these types of methods, could it be that someone from the ancient times really was going to descend here? Shi Hao searched about with a cold expression.
This world became more and more dark, eventually becoming pitch-black. Only rain overflowed, pouring down from the heavens in a terrifyingly great manner.
On the ground, many civilians were wailing, but their voices were all smothered under the great rain.
The world was pitch-black, as if this was the malevolent abyss of hell, nothing visible anymore. It all looked more and more terrifying, as if they were about to reach the end of judgment day
Kacha!
Silver-colored lightning cut across the sky, massive beyond compare, producing dazzling radiance in the darkness, revealing the true scene of the great earth.
A few houses were about to collapse under the vicious downpour, tottering on the verge of collapse.
Many people hid on the roofs, avoiding the rain that became greater and greater. Even the pots and pans of the houses were floating up and down in the streets.
There were some who fled to the mountains, moving to places of higher elevation. However, silver snakes cut across the skies one after another, extending towards those regions, absolutely terrifying.
Honglong!
Eventually, there were mountain peaks that exploded. Those electrical arcs extended down, making rubble fly everywhere, giant trees snapping, exploding. The scene was horrifying.
"Heavens, why are you doing this? What did we do wrong?" Many people were sobbing, screaming out. They knelt down on the ground, pleading towards the skies, praying.
No one dared head to the mountain peaks, hiding below. However, even if they did this, it was extremely dangerous. A mountain flood was starting to surge.
As for the villages and towns on the plains, as well as the cities with larger populations, all of the buildings were about to be submerged, some of them already collapsing.
As for places of lower elevation, some of the houses could no longer be seen, already drowned.
"Stone Country's monarch is licentious and tyrannical, the heavens are carrying out their judgment!"
At this moment, a rumbling voice sounded from the pitch-black skies, overwhelming the sounds of thunder. All of the lightning quickly disappeared, only this grand and imposing voice resounding.
The great rain didn't decrease, becoming increasingly astonishing.
Was this punishment from the world itself? The civilians were all horrified. There was actually a voice in the heavens above! It was too grand, as if it was a warning from the heavens.
"We plead the heavens for mercy!"
"We plead the heavens for forgiveness!"
…
Many people shouted out, wailing. Some people were swept away by the mountain flood, quite a few people disappearing into whirlpools.
"Grandpa, come back!" There was a young lady crying out, because the elder who was protecting her was swept away just like that by a wave.
"Mom, no! Please come back!" A six or seven year old child in tattered clothes was wailing. He reached out a hand, grabbing towards the waters. For the sake of protecting her son, she pushed him to a part of the roof that had still not been flooded yet, but in doing so she was swept away herself.
"Child!" There was an elder who was so anxious veins began to pop on his head. It was because his healthy and strong son, for the sake of saving him, fell into the flood himself.
On the ground, a great tragedy was playing out.
However, in the skies, that voice didn't stop, still rumbling loudly.
"The country's monarch is tyrannical, the wrath of heaven is descending, warning the people that Stone Country's emperor is vicious and evil, his sins cannot be forgiven!"
The rain became greater and greater, accompanied by lightning. Everyone saw a face that was incomparably massive, coldly overlooking everything below, watching this flood tragedy, overlooking the scenes of anguish.
On the earth, many people were perplexed, becoming scared.
In all these years, Stone Country experienced such great weather, the country prospering and the people at peace, yet now, this type of disaster suddenly descended, leaving them at their wit's end, shrouded in fear.
Many people fainted. The punishment of the heavens, this type of great judgment, who wouldn't be scared?
Only, there were some people who were confused. Wasn't Stone Country becoming increasingly prosperous by the day? Why was it like this? Could it be that Stone Emperor really did some heaven angering thing?
"Even if Stone Emperor has sinned, it has nothing to do with us! Heavens, please forgive us!"
A few people cried out.
"Gods, please have mercy! We are ignorant, we do not understand what kind of mistake the incapable ruler Stone Emperor has made, please forgive all of us!" On the ground, people pleaded for mercy.
"Hah, still not enough."
In this pitch-back world, only when lightning cut across, would that massive cold face be seen. "It's still not enough!"
Then, it said with a low voice, "The blood and chaos in the mortal world, there is still sin, still not deep enough. If the entire lower realms are like this, there will definitely be tremendous karma applied to me and Huang's body. Huang is destined to have no fate with achieving the dao!"
"I am but a member of a clan, not the most powerful. However, today, my power is the greatest." He said coldly, voice incredibly cold and deep.
This member of the 'Rain Deities', was speaking softly. What he wished to do was extremely great, involving karma itself. Even if the effects that were applied to Huang himself were few, he still had to do them.
He was originally a heavily injured body, cultivation path difficult, even his survival uncertain. He was using the most vile methods to cut off the path of a heaven warping genius.
"Heavens, please forgive us!" On the surface, sounds of wailing were endless. Sure enough, there were waves of resentment rising, karma circulating.
It was clear that those who dared touch upon karma were all higher level cultivators. How could normal people be willing to come into contact with it?
This was precisely done against Shi Hao, not holding back in the slightest, done with the most power, the most vile methods. At the very least, it was going to cut off his path of achieving the dao!
Shi Hao arrived, speeding over, arriving beneath the endless rain.
From the moment he received the news until he hurried here, he didn't waste a moment of time. Only, the rain was too vicious, this bit of time already enough for it to submerge the great earth.
The only fortunate thing was that the mountain flood didn't attack the places of the highest population.
"Shameless cultivator, stirring up trouble in this world! Deserve to be punished!"
Shi Hao roared, his voice resounding through heaven and earth. Then, he took action, a fist shot out, smashing through the heavens, brilliant light illuminating the skies, shattering the darkness.
There was no way he could remain calm. This was originally his grudge with Rain Clan, yet in the end, the other side's deity actually harmed the creatures of the great earth. Was he trying to destroy an entire region?
Honglong! Heaven and earth fractured, a large amount of the great rain disappearing.
Shi Hao's fist carried unmatched yang force, making the dark clouds in the skies explode and scatter, rush into the distance.
Hou!
The golden lion arrived. Under Shi Hao's orders, it opened its mouth and blew. All of the clouds rushed towards the seas.
Shi Hao himself used great magical force. His hands formed seals, in that instant, the water on the earth was all brought into the skies, all of the great waves, mountain flood and rainwater left the surface.
The instantaneous display of power dissolved this scene of hell on earth.
Everyone became stupefied. On the ground, the wails of anguish stopped. Everyone looked towards the skies, seeing a young man's hands raised towards the heavens, the tips of his fingers shining, sending the mountain flood into the heavens. The water evaporated, this young man ending this 'rain calamity'.
Shi Hao released his magical force, surrounding who knew how many tens of thousands of li of the great earth. At the same time, he led the endless water towards the great sea.
The great river flowed through the skies, the mountain flood moving along above, leaving everyone shocked.
Normally, cultivators wouldn't display great divine abilities before mortals to avoid triggering great chaos.
However, today, Rain Clan's deity actually brought such a calamity over mortals, wishing for destruction. Only great methods could quickly deal with such an attack.
"A miracle!" On the ground, it was unknown just how many people were cheering.
Shi Hao arrived at the perfect time. Even though the rain was flooding the great earth, it didn't rush into the places where the population was dense yet, avoiding a tragedy.
This time, the casualties weren't that great.
Then, his body released endless radiance, the light specks concentrated. They turned into streak after streak of flowing light, rushing towards the great earth, covering everything. This was the most basic life essence energy.
Chi chi chi!
All of the dying people were immediately struck by flowing light, then immediately recovered.
It was to the extent where the people who were swept away by the mountain flood were rising from the dead!
The golden lion was shocked, never expecting Shi Hao to be this magnanimous, actually using innate essence energy to rescue some mortals.
"Praise be to the lord!"
Many people on the surface cheered. They were trembling, all of them kneeling down, shouting loudly.
It was because in that instant, a tragedy was changed, many dying people coming back to life again.
Of course, the price Shi Hao paid for this wasn't small!
Kacha!
Suddenly, in the heavens above, lightning was concentrated, turning into terrifying blades, hacking down onto Shi Hao.
There was someone taking action, seizing the moment when Shi Hao was releasing his life essence energy to deal a killing blow.
"Just some insignificant tricks!"
Shi Hao berated outwards. His fist smashed towards the sky. With a honglong noise, everything broke apart.
Moreover, he rushed into the skies, entering outer space, staring at that massive face.
"Rain Clan's filth, you dare appear here? Just hand over your life!" Shi Hao shouted.
He surged with endless killing intent, erupting with rage. The other party didn't feel the slightest bit of restraint, destroying the boundless great earth and the creatures below just like that, could be said to be using any means fair or foul, lacking the slightest bottom line. This made him surge with endless murderous intent.
"Stone Clan's brat, so what if you are angry? I am in a different realm, endlessly far from where you are. What can you even do to me?!" That indistinct face was cold and emotionless, a cold smile hanging from the corners of his lips, unfazed.
Shi Hao's gaze was cold. He wanted to know which realm Rain Clan's ancient deity was in, and now, he could find out through this individual.
"You can just crawl over now!" Shi Hao shouted.
He used endless magical force, continuously forming imprints. Countless chains of order flew out, winding about that massive face, pulling him down.
"What you are trying to do is cross realms. If you want to capture me, heh, you'll never get the chance!" Rain Clan's deity said with a cold laugh, mocking him there.
Shi Hao didn't say a word, continuously changing different ancient methods. In the end, the other party suddenly came down.
"En? Impossible!" Rain Clan's deity suddenly screamed. That massive face became clear, being pulled closer, heading towards Shi Hao.
Pa!
Shi Hao wasn't in a rush to drag him over, instead raising his hand, giving him a great slap in the face!

Chapter 1760 - Another Realm
This slap was loud and clear, shaking up the entire sky like a clap of thunder.
The main reason was because this face was too large, like a majestic mountain. Meanwhile, the palm Shi Hao slapped over with naturally also enlarged, covering heaven and earth, which was why the sound that resulted was so astonishing.
On the earth, the calamity stopped. With the flood's disappearance, everyone looked towards the sky, all of them seeing this scene.
In that instant, everyone became stunned. These were mostly mortals, but there were some cultivators as well. They were all stupefied.
One had to understand that just now, the world was pitch-black, rain pouring down like it was judgment day. Everything was precisely because of that terrifying face, yet now, it was slapped in the face, moreover just that clearly!
"Praise be to the lord!"
"A god!"
On the ground, the civilians all couldn't help but shout out, and then their hearts trembled even more. Some of them were speaking out in worship, some bowing down, all of them deeply shaken.
Of course, there were some who didn't dare to speak out, but they felt incredibly satisfied inside, actually wishing to shout out.
They knew that this disaster was caused by that 'face'. This was an inconceivably powerful existence who wished disaster upon Stone Country's civilians in order to get revenge on Stone Emperor.
The people who suffered on the surface were naturally resentful. In the end, it was Stone Emperor who saved them, so as for who was good and who was bad, it couldn't be more clear.
"Is it truly Stone Emperor?"
"It is, it's the Young Human Emperor from the past!"
…
It was because there were quite a few cultivators who rushed over, now revealing Shi Hao's identity, responding to the people's questions.
"I just knew that for Stone Country to prosper like it is right now, that there was a great individual watching over us. Our country is becoming more prosperous by the day, the people are at peace, so how could it incur the wrath of heaven? This is a great demon who has come to cause trouble!"
"I plead the great emperor to cut down this demon!"
Eventually, those on the surface shouted out, no longer feeling fear, because more and more cultivators appeared in the skies, currently arranging a formation. Light scattered, protecting this place.
War King, Peng King, and the other Stone Country experts all came, the golden lion obviously here as well. It was extremely easygoing, all of its fur brilliant. It opened its bloody mouth, rushing straight at that 'big face'
In the heavens above, that face was incredibly furious, at the same time a bit flustered.
Shi Hao's palm smacked him until he saw stars, moreover, he couldn't even escape, leaving him horrified. This was but a projection cast across realms, so why was he restrained?
He couldn't leave, locked in place by divine chains of order. They were everywhere, trapping him here, unable to escape.
Shi Hao stared at him, now starting to examine him carefully. When he retracted his palm, he understood a bit about this person's secrets. He was extremely strong, really not weak, but this was definitely not its true body, but rather an incarnation of divine will!
The so-called projection was nothing more than casting one's will and magical force into this world, have it appear it in this realm.
"Speak, what kind of world is it?" Shi Hao asked.
In regards to those from the ancient age, Rain Clan's deities, Shi Hao was convinced that they didn't enter the three thousand provinces, because he had investigated before, there had never been this group of people.
"You know nothing, you won't be able to understand." Rain Clan's deity directly said this, carrying a bit of arrogance, full of contempt.
"Speaking to people like you really is tiresome. You think you are all that, but in reality, what is so special about you?" Shi Hao was extremely direct. Following a pa sound, he released another slap, this time even more loud and clear.
Below, Stone Country's people all looked at each other in dismay. This was a battle between deities! Were all deities like this?
They felt like the Little Stone didn't change at all. Back then, he was just this much of a monster, now the same. When faced with an ancient deity, it was the exact same approach, slapping right after saying he would, not caring at all.
In the end, who was being arrogant, who was showing who disdain? Right now, Rain Clan's deity felt this the most directly.
His face immediately swelled red, a wave of flame burning. He was a Rain Deity, yet now, raging flames surged, white smoke coming from his entire face!
He really was angered to the extreme. The deity from the ancient times appeared powerfully like this, yet ended up suffering, being slapped in the face twice by this later generation brat. What dignity, what prestige? All of it was smacked away!
"Brat, you…" Rain Clan's deity felt like his heart and lungs were going to explode.
Shi Hao stared at him, his eyes cold. He was also pondering himself. From what he learned when he faced Rain Clan before, Rain Clan's past condition should be rather bad.
He remembered that in the past, Rain Clan barely managed to contact Rain Deity. He was incredibly weak, producing a void image that might scatter at any time.
At that time, Rain Clan's people even suspected that perhaps due to age, their Rain Deity might pass away, unable to hold on any longer.
Later on, Rain Clan found out that the reason Rain Deity was in a special realm was because his condition really was terrible, which was why he was so weak, powerless to defend himself.
These were things Shi Hao already knew when he faced Rain Clan, things he personally experienced. Back then, he was extremely 'savage', even opening his mouth and chewing the fragmented decree Rain Deity left in Rain Clan.
"The world you reside in was in great danger back then, and now, it seems like something happened that made your situation better." Shi Hao said.
This type of speculation was extremely clear, or else how could the current Rain Deity appear like this, still able to produce rain on such a large scale, produce such a great disaster?
Then, before Rain Deity could say anything, Shi Hao released another flurry of strikes on that large face. This was completely just to vent out his resentment.
It was because this Rain Deity was completely unrestrained, not having a bottom line, so vicious even against mortals. Was this individual planning to wipe out a country's worth of creatures?
That was why when Shi Hao took action, he didn't show any restraint, smacking him as he pleased, just humiliating this deity like this in front of everyone.
"Are you really that Rain Clan deity from the ancient times?" Shi Hao smacked him while asking with a gentle voice.
Rain Clan's deity was simply about to go mad. This was a type of humiliation he had never suffered before, never feeling so sullen in his life. His projected face being trapped was one thing, yet the other party smacked him around as he wished, this punishment really was a bit too miserable.
"He is Rain Clan's deity!" Below, War King spoke out. He had previously seen the idol Rain Clan consecrated, it was identical to this face.
"You shameless old thing, do you even know how to be human? In the past, you walked out of this country's earth as well, yet this is how you repay it, wishing to harm countless people to death?" Shi Hao began to exert even more force, viciously striking its mouth.
On the surface, everyone was stupefied. Forget about the ordinary civilians, even those cultivators looked at each other in dismay, stupefied.
Originally, this was an extremely grave matter, Rain Deity almost massacring countless people, yet in the end, Stone Emperor's actions made this seem a bit like a show.
He was smacking a deity's mouth in front of everyone? Moreover, in such a disrespectful manner, it truly toppled everything they knew.
"Younger generation, humiliating me like this, you will not have a good end in the future! My Rain Clan's prosperity and power are not something you can imagine!" The ancient deity also became anxious, beaten stupid. It continuously roared out.
Unfortunately, that large face was restricted, just unable to move.
When Shi Hao heard this, his mind was immediately moved. What kind of world was that? Was Rain Clan's influence there great? Don't tell me there really was a piece of extraordinary ancient earth?
Of the experts in the ancient times who became deities, a small portion of them went to the three thousand provinces, but most of them vanished. Could it be that they were all there?
"I'll give you a chance, speak honestly." Shi Hao questioned. He wanted to know about that realm.
"Keep dreaming!" Rain Deity shouted.
Shi Hao didn't say anything else. After another round of smacks, he began to search his sea of consciousness.
Hong!
Right at that moment, the sky dome trembled. The divine chains of order binding this rain deity went taut, about to be snapped.
"Realm wall's power?" Shi Hao frowned. It wasn't Rain Deity being too strong, but rather the force of the other side affecting everything on this side.
It was because this place was adjacent to a certain realm, in this place a special spatial node that placed these two worlds close to each other, to the extent where it even allowed simple communication.
Of course, this was only limited to the passage of one's spiritual consciousness.
He watched as Rain Deity was about to return, dragged back to the other side by a wave of boundless power.
Shi Hao sat in the void, having the golden lion protect him. Then, he directly took action. His primordial spirit left his body, carrying a sword core, directly rushing forward.
"Heavens, you must not!"
"Stone Emperor!"
Many people shouted in alarm, greatly shocked. They didn't think that the Little Stone would dare do such a thing!
Shi Hao was crossing realms, to be more precise, he was casting over a projection, wishing to enter another realm.
It was always high level figures' faces that were cast over, yet now, it was completely flipped around. This was extremely dangerous, full of uncertainty.
At the same time, everyone saw Shi Hao's primordial spirit leave his body. This was not the same as casting a portion of one's divine will, but rather the primordial spirit crossing over as a whole!
"There is no harm!" Shi Hao didn't mind. He had the golden lion properly protect his body, he wasn't scared of anything else.
He even went to the other side, entered Immortal Domain, towards this ancient realm, he didn't feel any fear. At the same time, he was also only going in briefly, chasing after Rain Deity's primordial spirit to kill his true body. He was going to return switfly after completely killing him!
Hong!
Shi Hao carried the Everlasting Sword Core, directly passing through the spatial node, slaughtering his way over.
Then, he saw an altar, an elder seated on it, blood flowing from the corners of his lips. He suddenly opened his eyes, while Rain Deity's spirit entered his head.
"You dare!" Rain Deity was shocked, not expecting this youngster to be this daring, casting a projection into this side instead, slaughtering his way over just like that.
Shi Hao sensed a sea of heaven and earth essence energy, too rich, even richer than the three thousand provinces. This was definitely not a normal place!
"Why wouldn't I dare?!" Shi Hao spoke up, his voice cold. He displayed powerful strength, charging over.
Rain Deity quickly took action, fighting with Shi Hao. However, even if he was an ancient deity who had cultivated for endless time, his cultivation extremely deep, he was still not enough.
Shi Hao immediately suppressed him, pressing his sword against his forehead.
Honglong!
Immediately afterwards, in the distance, brilliant light overflowed from the cosmos, shocking all sides.
A powerful divine will was fluctuating, surging.
Shi Hao saw it clearly. That was a divine will, an expert's divine awareness that moved past above this celestial body. It flew past a sea of stars, arriving nearby.
Shi Hao didn't feel any fear, because that true expert was unknown where, this was merely a strand of divine will that wandered here.
This divine will was indeed extremely powerful, incredibly powerful.
However, if one wanted to borrow a strand of divine will to suppress him, that was impossible. Shi Hao dared to come here, so he naturally had methods to protect himself. He raised the Everlasting Sword Core!
"Wu, this is a surprise. You should be that Huang." This divine will was shocked.
At the same time, Shi Hao saw a sealed land in the stellar domain, brilliant and gorgeous. Divine rainbows would appear from time to time, winding about.
There was an ancient gate sealed in the cosmos.
Shi Hao frowned, a bit surprised. Soon afterwards, he was shocked. That was a path, similar to the one he saw in the three thousand provinces' Immortal Tomb.
He sucked in a cold breath of air. In the future, an unimaginable existence would return through the Immortal Tomb to settle things.
Could it be that this gate was a similar path, that it would trigger the return of a taboo existence?
"If not for Immortal Domain opening again, about to reappear, this place would have become a land of death. Rain Clan's cultivators have a bit of contributions as well, after all, they have watched over it with other cultivators for such a long time."
That divine will transmitted sound from the dazzling radiance.
"What a pity, you were struck with the Immortal Breaking Curse, or else with your talents, you would have a chance of entering Immortal Domain. Right now, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths are all choosing unmatched seeds."
When Shi Hao heard these words, he was naturally shocked. This was information he was previously not aware of.
"You missed out on a great opportunity. If your body was unharmed, you could follow beside a certain young master of similar age. If your temperaments are agreeable, your benefits would be many in the future."
When Shi Hao heard these words, his face tightened, not saying anything. Now, who dared have him follow them? He faced this individual coldly.

Chapter 1761 - Complicated Great Age
Even if it was just following at another's side, not as a servant, but rather as a follower, this was still a choice that Huang would never make!
After all these years, he had advanced powerfully, what kind of people hadn't he met, what kind of opponents hadn't he fought? He even dared challenge the other side's Emperor Clans, fight while covered in blood.
The so-called young masters, who were they? He didn't acknowledge them at all!
"Youngster, you have to understand that in the wider world there are people more talented than oneself, this world is far more complex than you can imagine. You might think that you have heaven warping talents, now unmatched, right? I can tell you rather confidently that all creatures who emerge from your world, no matter how stunning, on the path of immortality, not a single one was able to claim to be king, all of them will be defeated in the end!"
This individual spoke these words confidently, but it was as if gusts of wind ravaged the earth, frigid air blasting over, making one's heart tremble.
His words revealed some terrifying information that made one's soul couldn't help but tremble.
"Are you talking about Immortal Ancient Great Era?" Shi Hao asked which age it was. He couldn't accept this at all.
"For Immortal Domain, a great era isn't all that long. The years are endless, while Immortal Domain is even more endless, the length of existence of some inheritances exceeding your imagination!"
That mysterious individual spoke, voice still extremely calm, but the atmosphere instead became even more heavy.
He replied to Shi Hao's question pertaining to time, informing him that these powers weren't groups that appeared suddenly in an era, but had existed forever since far too long ago.
Did those types of inheritances exist? Shi Hao felt ill at ease, feeling his blood rise and fall, as if there were great waves surging. He felt a flame lit within him, wishing to rise up, break out of this realm and overlook the world!
At the same time, he felt some hesitation. The world was vast, the ancient realms great, the amount of time encompassed great, exceeding his imaginations. In the end, if there was turmoil, a great war erupting, in the end, just what kind of freaks would appear?
Shi Hao calmed down. He just felt like everything he had seen and experienced in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths was still just a corner.
"Everyone says that undead knights are ancient, that a single slumber can last millions of years, even a larger half of a great era. However, when compared to Immortal Domain's inheritances, they actually aren't that distant, some whose origins came even earlier, some of their past ancestors still alive!"
This mysterious person revealed a truth, telling Shi Hao some things. When the experts of Immortal Domain left, no one since ancient times could face them.
The Nine Heavens Ten Earths, even if they were glorious, previously truly dazzling and magnificent, as eras passed one after another, regardless of whether it was the eras he heard about or prehistoric eras, not a single one that emerged stood a chance in Immortal Domain.
This piece of shocking information left Shi Hao silent for a really really long time.
"However, we do have a common enemy, the greater situation is aimed beyond." That individual added.
What kind of emotion was he feeling right now? It was hard for Shi Hao to say clearly. He knew that if he traced things upstream, Immortal Domain would simply be unimaginable, some ancient existences' origins horrifyingly great.
However, they had enemies, they were waiting for something!
Those people, those times, if they were traced back, the two words 'emperor collapse' would most likely appear!
Just what kind of grudges, what kind of opposition was there, to cause this type of result? Generations passed one after the next, yet there was no way to dissolve it, just mentioning it would involve an endless 'great terror'!
"Heh, are there any freaks that are that ancient, living all the way until this age?" Shi Hao's thoughts wandered, unable to describe what he was feeling right now.
To be alive is to experience joys and sorrows, the vicissitudes of life, all types of gratitudes and grudges. However, compared to these old monsters, all of these things were insignificant, truly not that big of a deal.
What they focused on were truly great things, but they also had catastrophic impact, worlds easily destroyed at every turn!
Things like dividing that highest level stalk of immortal medicine into six parts, separately sealing them into ruined bodies, planting them into different ancient realms, these weren't just single instances, all of them would produce heaven shocking impacts on this universe!
Shi Hao's thoughts began to become a bit distracted, thinking of too many things. He sighed. The path ahead might be extremely long, only after withstanding the test of time would he have the qualifications to be involved.
Hot blood surged in his chest, flowing through his body, hard for him to control himself. His emotions were surging. He wanted to go against these powers and rise up, join in the shortest amount of time! At the same time, he released a light sigh, feeling complicated emotions. The path was uneven, the great world dark. Perhaps he was nothing more than an ant that would quickly wither away.
Shi Hao's impression of this person couldn't be considered bad, but of course, he wasn't particularly watching out for him either, yet even so, he spoke about many things.
It was clear that he knew about Desolate Border's battle, knowing the matter of Shi Hao being afflicted with the Immortal Breaking Curse, about the things that happened.
Even though he bore no malice, he didn't show any intention of wishing to take action for Shi Hao. For these types of individuals, results are everything, it was extremely clear cut.
He knew Shi Hao was going to be crippled soon anyway, but he didn't have any intention of helping, because to him, there was no need to do anything for someone who was destined to become ordinary.
For him, the difference between things of value and things without was too defined.
Shi Hao naturally wouldn't ask this person of anything. The path was his own to take. The so-called Immortal Breaking Curse was already incurable in the eyes of others, at the very least, when a young cultivator like him was afflicted, then he was crippled already. He didn't want to say too much.
Then, Shi Hao asked and consulted what kind of place this was.
In the end, he received confirmation that this was an extraordinary secret land after all!
There was a path here that needed to be protected. When he looked into the distance, there was an expanse of silence, an abandoned star system, a withered heaven and earth. However, the spiritual essence here was extremely rich.
The spiritual essence was turbulent, at times surging like a sea, at times completely sucked dry.
This place was extremely important. There was an ancient path that was guarded, waiting for something's return!
Upon closer inspection, Shi Hao understood that this place was already in ruins, star remains in the distance. This was an ancient place, an abandoned ruined world.
Rain Deity, as well as the other creatures from the ancient times had previously arrived here, becoming soldiers to protect this place together.
Comparatively speaking, even though Rain Deity was powerful, he could only serve as a soldier here, not standing out at all. However, Rain Clan's origins weren't small, this clan still not considered weak.
After all, rain, winds, and lightning, these natural scenes weren't trifling matters. In the past, they represented some ancient clans.
It was to the extent where there were some who believed that the reason these natural scenes appeared was because it represented the moods of some ancient clans!
However, in this ruined ancient world, Rain Clan declined, not really any exceptional experts to be seen.
In the end, it was an expanse of ruined cosmos, unknown just how many years ago it was destroyed. It had previously been entirely sealed, isolated from the rest of the world.
From near ancient history until now, those who guarded this place all declined, almost all wiped out.
It was because the essence energy that was released from the passage was like a haze, corroding everything. Meanwhile, the ancient path was reviving itself, an existence destined to cross over.
It could be said that the people who guarded this ruined world were almost all completely wiped out.
Only when Desolate Border's great battle ended that Immortal Domain sensed something, receiving news about it, did the immortal gates finally open, making contact with some ancient lands, for example this place, thus allowing them to be saved.
Immortal Domain then took action, continuing to seal the passage!
"Turns out it was like this." Shi Hao nodded. The entire ruined realm's prosperity and decline was because of a single passage, one could see just how terrifying it was.
"Are there many creatures here?" Shi Hao asked.
"Not many, less than a million, but they are all cultivators." That mysterious creature replied.
Shi Hao was stunned. This was a world of its own! However, its population in comparison was ridiculously few.
"If you open up those star remains, every inch of earth are crushed bones." The mysterious individual said.
At this point, Shi Hao didn't even need to ask much more in detail.
This world was destroyed, practically complete eradication. The reason why the remaining million creatures didn't die was because the passage was stabilized.
"Wu, a pity. I wanted to introduce you to a certain clan's inheritor, but you now lost this opportunity of fate." This creature brought this up again.
"A young master? What rank in Immortal Domain?" Shi Hao didn't seem too concerned, the corners of his lips curling upwards.
"It is hard to say, possibly a founder reincarnating through another's body. If that is the case, reaching the top ranks isn't an issue. If the legends aren't true, and he is merely himself, then his name might appear in the top ten." That individual said.
Shi Hao was stunned, truly shocked. He could look down on that so-called young master, but towards a second body reincarnation, that was extremely shocking, making all of his fine hairs stand on end.
If this was this type of monster, once they faced each other, it would be much more troublesome.
"Of course, if you weren't crippled and weren't willing to become that young master's follower, you could also enter one of those ancient inheritances. If you gain their favor, there would also be great opportunities, but it would truly be difficult…" This mysterious individual said.
Shi Hao curled his lips, not feeling like saying anything. Right now, he had ancient scriptures and secret methods, did he even need to bow down before other inheritances?
"Heh, if I use words that are a bit more unpleasant, the methods passed through this world, what is so great about them? They are already methods that bit the dust. As the years pass, the times overlay, this world's methods, strictly speaking, all came from Immortal Domain. After so many years have elapsed, even Immortal Domain's cultivation system changed, creating new paths again. What can you bring out to compare to them?!"
These words finally made Shi Hao's expressions change. He had long had thoughts of establishing his own path, and now, he was startled awake. Immortal Domain might have long created some paths.
However, this only further aroused Shi Hao's fighting spirit. He wanted to go even further, see just who was stronger and who was weaker.
It wasn't him being conceited, but rather because he already had all types of plans in mind, and now, he had stepped on his own completely unique path, using his body as the seed. If he continued to perfect it, he believed that he would definitely experience a golden age of harvest.
"This person, can I kill him?" Shi Hao was extremely brazen, asking this question.
"Rain Clan's people, I am not concerned with them. However, you have to understand that killing a protector does not bring any benefits. In the future, you are going to be crippled, you should watch out for future karma." That individual said.
Shi Hao was too decisive. The Everlasting Sword Core swept out. Under Rain Deity's shocked gaze, a sword stabbed into the space between his brows, killing his primordial spirit, blood splashing all over the altar below.
This altar floating in the void was dyed red from blood.
"Is it easy to bring this ruined realm into the eight regions?" Shi Hao asked.
"It is difficult. Only within a specific time and location is there a chance of casting down a void projection, easier for the weak, difficult for the strong. Rain Deity went against the rules, casting his projection without permission, now that it met this conclusion, it can also be considered a type of predetermined fate." That mysterious creature said. In the end, he left just like this, not paying anything there any more attention.
In the distant skies, there were all types of bright colors, divine rainbows swirling about. That ancient gate was faintly discernible.
Shi Hao didn't waste any time, turning around to leave. With a chi sound, he pierced through the realm wall, returning to Desolate Region.
Sure enough, when he left that spatial node, it slowly squeezed inwardly, and then collapsed, ultimately completely disappearing!
