Chapter 395 Fourteen-Year-Old King

Too fast! Unbelievable! Everyone there was completely shocked. Who exactly was this woman?
She could actually travel unhindered through this battlefield and directly bring out Shi Yi.
Not only were the people of Demonic Spirit Lake stupefied, even the supreme experts were
speechless.
The Demonic Spirit Lakes ancient formations did not produce their proper effects. They didnt
stop the womans actions. She was on a level of her own, avoiding all of the killing symbols.
The supreme experts of the outside world werent satisfied with this result. They continued to
rush and murder their way in. They were about to succeed, yet in the end, the supreme precious
body was taken away by someone else.
Hurry up and chase! Someone shouted loudly.
This was just too ridiculous! Everyone had killed their way into the Demonic Spirit Lake, and
there were corpses everywhere, yet halfway there, this kind of mysterious woman appeared and
brought away Shi Yis body. Who would be willing to accept something like this?
Many figures chased after her, entering the boundless great wastelands. However, her figure was
already far away. Where would they even go to look for her? The gray-clothed woman was just too
fast.
With a single step of hers, the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers seemed to turn in reverse. This
wasnt something that the speed of man could chase after. Her long sleeves fluttered about, and in
the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the limits of the horizon.
Endless mountains and peaks rose up and down. There were a few supreme experts who used
their precious artifacts to move through the great mountain ranges. They were like streaks of
flowing lights as they made their way through mountains and rivers, but not a single trace could
be found.
She disappeared just like that, completely vanishing from this world after leaving the Demonic
Spirit Lake.
Its not that we arent fast enough, but rather that she is just too fast. Other than learning the
Kun Peng technique, only a few other techniques can even compare. Someone sighed and said.
The supreme experts that rushed over were all furious. They were left in the dust just like that.
They were truly unwilling to accept this!
Of course, if we were talking about who was the most depressed, then it was the people from
Demonic Spirit Lake. Shi Yi was originally their seed who they placed their greatest hopes on, yet
in the end, he died in battle, so his body should belong to them.
Yet when they saw that woman bring Shi Yis body away before their eyes, they couldnt do
anything to stop her.
These people were beyond angry. Both sides suffered such heavy losses, yet in the end, neither
side received anything. It was truly an example of wanting to cry but no tears coming out.
These experts were all looking, but there was nothing in the great wastelands. The gray-clothed
woman had long vanished, leaving everyone in utter frustration and disappointment.
Ah An old supreme expert roared. His lifespan was already short and he wanted to secure a
future for himself, yet all he had now was stifling resentment.
This is the older of the two Stone brothers we are talking about! It is a supreme body that is
nearly impossible to find in this world, yet it is gone just like that! Another elder with an
incurable disease also clenched his fists.
So hateful! Damnit! Within the Demonic Spirit Lake, curses continuously sounded. The old
supreme experts were all feeling great resentment. Their hatred was all directed at the mysterious
female.
All of their hopes and efforts came to nothing. None of them were able to obtain anything.
Not long after, the supreme experts from outside this place backed off. The faces of everyone in
the Demonic Spirit Lake were ashen. They were almost completely wiped out, yet in the end, they
didnt even obtain anything. How could they endure this?
Soon after, the result of this battle was announced to the world. Every single region was in
uproar. The great battle of the Void God Realm had just ended, yet the Demonic Spirit Lake
suffered a great disaster right after with many supreme entities involved. It created a huge storm
of commotion.
Many people were extremely regretful for not rushing over to witness the Demonic Spirit Lakes
battle. It truly was a pity.
It was just one thing after the next in the wasteland region. This region couldnt calm down at a ll.
The string of events that took place was just too shocking, leaving everyone shocked.
The results of the Void God Realm battle between the two Stone brothers was revealed. It shook
the entire world; Shi Yi was killed, and Shi Hao claimed the summit. He became the only supreme
youth of the wasteland region.
What did it mean to be supreme? It naturally meant that there was only one! An individual who
was incomparable!
Now, not even pure-blooded creatures were comparable. During that battle, Shi Haos
performance was equivalent to that of a divine being, enough to subdue any peers. Within the
wasteland region, it was hard for him to meet a worthy opponent.
The greater Stone has died, and the smaller Stone is soaring into the heavens. Who could
contend against him? This was what made everyone sigh with regret.
What if they left the wasteland region? No one could be certain. After all, after the two Stone
brothers great battle, there was even someone who dared to challenge the domain embodiment.
There will definitely be a great disturbance in the future.
The divine level stage will truly appear, and the day when the great talents of various regions
clash isnt too far off.
Fairy Yue Chan and the witch are extraordinarily stunning. These two will inevitabl y stand on
the battlefield and look down on everyone their age.
Afterwards, everyone was then reminded about the wasteland regions impending chaos. They
couldnt calm down at all. The world was in disagreement, and it was possible that an extremely
terrifying period of time was coming.
However, based on history, this was the period of time that produced the most outstanding
experts. These troubled times were where the greatest talents appeared. This truly was the case.
The outside world was greatly stirred up and clamoring with noise!
It is truly a pity for the older Stone brother. With this kind of natural gifts, it was enough for him
to look down on both the ancient and modern world. Yet in the end, he died an untimely death.
Heaven is truly jealous of heroic geniuses!
The restlessness that was stirred was even greater than everyone had expected. The great sects
and ancient countries were all talking about the battle. As long as there were cultivators, there
would be discussions on this subject.
The younger Stone brother is just too formidable. Before the battle, there were only a few people
that favored him. They all thought that he was inherently weaker and would be killed by the old
Stone brother, yet how did it end? They were all wrong.
I heard that not only that mysterious male wanted to capture fairy Yue Chan. I heard that the
little Stone brother also wanted to forcefully carry the Heaven Mending Sects fairy back to his so-
called village!
The outside world was stirring with activity. However, right now, none of this had anything to do
with Shi Hao.
When he had just returned to Stone Village, the instant his spirit returned to his physical body, he
grimaced in pain. His entire body was aching intensely. All of the wounds in the Void God Realm
were brought back to his flesh.
This feeling was extremely strange! It was as if his body experienced the great battle and
immediately suffered serious damage, making him nearly faint.
When he returned, he felt especially relaxed. When he was fighting the great battle, he was
already almost completely depleted of energy. Right now, he couldnt budge an inch, and it was
hard for him to even open his eyes.
This is too awesome! Little Hao won! Stone Villages people cheered with joy. They were all
extremely happy for him.
Cant sleep yet. Shi Hao grinded his teeth. He forcefully stirred his spirit. This battle was
extremely dangerous. He encountered an utterly outstanding enemy and almost died himself.
However, the benefits he received were tremendous as well.
He forced himself to stay awake. He brought out the praying mat he obtained from the Kun Peng
nest and sat on top. He then began to carefully recall every last bit of this battle.
He was at the border between life and death as he fought against this evenly matched adversary.
He would never be able to experience something like this normally. This was the toughest battle
he had fought since he was born, so he had to carefully reflect and slowly study it.
When everyone in Stone Village understood Shi Haos situation, they stopped their celebration
and created a peaceful setting for him. They waited for him to stand up again.
Just like that, Shi Hao entered a wondrous state. He sank into a deep state of comprehension.
The area between his brows continuously shone, and all types of patterns appeared on his bodys
surface.
He would wake from time to time and drink a cup of little devil wine to nourish his body and treat
his wounds.
His injuries were extremely severe. He slowly recovered while comprehending the dao, creating a
strange state of healing. Shi Hao studied the dao for an entire month, and it took an entire month
for his injured body to make a full recovery.
When he finally woke, he stood up and noticed that he had already reached the consummate level
of the Engravement Realm. He had truly reached the limit, and his strength had increased by a
large amount again!
I studied the dao for a month, and my recovery also took a month? Shi Hao was completely
astonished. This battle had injured him extremely deeply, and the damage had been truly severe.
However, this kind of great life and death struggle carried great opportunities within it. During
this month of dao comprehension, he understood a lot more, to a point that it was difficult to
express with words. It was extremely beneficial for his future cultivation.
Forget about the other benefits, just the fact that he went from the late stage to the consummate
level of the Engravement Realm in one month was a cultivation speed that was absolutely
horrifying! It was a speed that would leave everyone greatly shaken!
Ah, Uncle Hao woke up! A little brat ran over and cried out happily.
This is too great! Little Hao is okay and made a complete recovery! The village immediately
bustled with noise. All of the villagers hurried over and released a breath. All of them had smiles
on their faces.
Im fine. Ive made you all worry. Shi Hao was extremely happy. The villagers were who he
cared about the most. His loved ones care made him feel warm inside.
This great battle shook the entire wasteland region.
Only at this moment did Shi Hao truly relax. The villagers were all extremely happy, and they
celebrated around the bonfire that night. All types of prey were being roasted or stewed, releasing
an extremely alluring fragrance. The fragrance of the little devil wine also wafted in the air far
into the distance.
The village was full of activity. Everyone was extremely happy, as if they were celebrating a
holiday.
Shi Hao stayed within the village for a while, because he still had important things to do. He had
to study the divine imprint. Those lights had been collected into his body.
These things were without a doubt, heaven defying. For the sake of comprehending the dao even
further, Shi Hao placed everything else down and sank into a state of isolation, almost cutting
himself from the outside world.
These imprints truly appeared at a great time. Half a month later, Shi Hao muttered this to
himself. He received astonishing gains. This might help him break through the Engravement
Realm!
He was currently at the consummate level of the Engravement Realm. He now wanted to break
past the paths of the people below him and take a step beyond the highest level of enlightenment.
What was more suitable than the imprint of a deity for this?
These imprints were damaged and not complete, but they were extremely profound. They were
difficult to thoroughly comprehend at his current cultivation realm. However, this was a type of
reference. If he was able to comprehend just a portion, he would receive endless enlightenment.
So it was actually like this! He would receive benefits every day. The divine light within his body
formed cauldrons, furnaces, bells they continuously changed. In the end, they truly began to
form the Kun Peng. He once again tried to challenge what he couldnt complete in the past.
If the outside world knew about this, they would immediately be frightened. Even among the
dazzling Noble King level figures, there werent many that made contact with the domain of
transforming divine light into symbols.
Yet right now, Shi Hao was actually evolving them again within his body. He changed the divine
lights into the form of a Kun Peng, and even though there werent many, it was enough to allow
his attacks speed to greatly increase.
One day led to the next. Shi Hao had already stayed in the village for more than half a year. He
was already a bit over fourteen years old. In the end, he completely broke through the limits of
the Engravement Realm, surpassing the basic limits of this realm.
He carefully examined himself and noticed that his strength truly rose rapidly, leaving even him
shocked. No matter who he faced in the past, as long as they were in the Engravement Realm, he
had confidence in overwhelming them!
Several days later, his entire body shone brilliantly. He began to exceed the Engravement Realm,
because there was no longer any reason to remain in this cultivation level. He began to advance
into the next great realm.
An enormous hong sounded. He stepped into a different realm!
Now, he was a true Noble King, or more precisely, he could be granted the title king. A fourteen -
year-old king; if this was announced to the rest of the world, it would definitely produce a
shocking result.
Even if there were some in the past, there definitely werent that many. His age alone placed him
high above others. He could now look down on everyone else his age.
 Chapter 396 Formation Arrangement
Blood Transformation, Heavenly Passage, Spirit Transformation, Engravement; these four realms
made up the complete cycle for most people. It was because it was too hard for them to break
through even if they tried!
These were like four great mountains, each taller than the next. The farther one traveled along
their path, the more difficult it became. It was like a small path carved on top of a cliff, one that
was excruciatingly difficult.
Cultivation was hard for the human race in particular. If not for the ancient people carving out a
path and imitating the primitive symbols, it was possible that there wouldnt even be the route
that exists today.
The path of humans was full of dangers, one formed from blood and sweat. Generations after
generations broke new ground, allowing the path to become wider and wider.
For human cultivators, the four great realms represented everything. Breaking past these was
easy to say but nearly impossible to do. Most would only pursue this but forever remain on the
road.
Fourteen years old, yet reaching into this fifth great realm; this was simply inconceivable. At the
very least, it was a magnificent feat among humans. If this was announced to the rest of the
world, it would trigger great commotion.
Formation Arrangement; this is an extremely profound and abstruse realm. Most people who
were able to reach this stage were already well past their youth. Time didnt stop for anyone, so
what kind of youth was there left?
Shi Hao stood on a tall peak and gazed down on the boundless great earth. The range upon range
of mountains before him were lush green and full of life. The mountain rivers were extremely
majestic, as if nothing could stop their flow.
He had finally advanced again. Now, in the wasteland region, he could finally be considered
powerful no matter what type of race he was compared to.
Fourteen-year-old King; this was a true supreme youth. This fact wasnt exaggerated in the
slightest bit. It was hard to find a second person like this throughout the entire great wasteland.
Those at the late stage of the Engravement Realm could be granted the title of lord if they were
extremely great. Now that Shi Hao broke through his previous realm and entered a higher level,
he could naturally discard the word lord and become a king 1.
Formation Arrangement, this cultivation realm is quite special. It is complex and mysterious,
with every person receiving completely different results. Only those that truly comprehend this
realm could rise to greatness.
Shi Hao was speaking to himself. The more he learned, the more he felt that cultivating wasnt
easy. After entering this realm, he truly understood how difficult the road before him was.
If the Engravement Realm was a process of imitating other races and carving their symbols in
ones own body, then it could be inferred that Formation Arrangement was an even higher level of
refinement where one would truly make use of these patterns.
Formation Arrangement was carving formations within ones body; what kind of concept was
this? Compared to the realm of strength before, this was undoubtedly a crazy difference in
strength!
However, those that actually dared to carve great complex formations within their bodies were
few in number. Those that did so were all from clans with great inheritances with safe formations
that they always used. However, those lacked the heaven defying possibilities of creativity.
Formation Arrangement; this cultivation realm was a clear divider of cultivators. Most people
considered themselves successful after carving only a few simple precious technique formations.
Only a minute number would push themselves further to form an inexhaustible killing formation.
Once they accomplished this, their fighting strengths would possess a world of difference.
As a result, even if two people are both at the Formation Arrangement Realm, the one that
reached the absolute limit will possess far greater strength.
The Willow Deity said that those that truly understand Formation Arrangement are few. What
exactly is Formation Arrangement? It is a type of initiation, an impressive feat. It definitely isnt
just carving some simple formation inside of oneself, Shi Hao said quietly to himself and
carefully began to ponder.
He then leapt off the mountain peak and walked towards Stone Village. He had just broken into
the Formation Arrangement Realm, so he wasnt in any rush to continue cultivating. Instead, he
was rather relaxed.
Uncle Hao, youve returned! A small child with snot running from his nose ran over. Right now,
Shi Hao was every childs favorite person.
It was because he could bring these little fellows into the mountains, allowing them to run around
as they pleased in the great wastelands. They could steal from the nests of vicious birds and catch
the young of wild descendants.
Zhizhi! On top of the wall, a small purple squirrel continuously made noise. There was a vertical
eye between its brows.
Bark! Not far from there, three lightning dogs turned into golden lights and quickly ran around,
Even though they were only half a meter in length, their speed was astonishing as they dashed
about with lightning lingering around their bodies.
In the air, there were more birds crying out. Scarlet-feathered cranes spread their wings, and
despite the fact that they couldnt fly yet, they glided down from the branches. Their bodies
swirled with multicolored light.
Half a year ago, Shi Hao brought these kids into the mountains, bringing back these young
creatures. They all matured quite well.
In the future, there really might be a legion of vicious birds and beasts!
Uncle Hao, when are we going into the mountains again? Some of the children asked. They all
wanted to wander through the great wastelands. For them, visiting those mysterious and
dangerous lands was the most exciting.
Not only could they obtain some old medicines and spiritual fruits, they might even pick up a few
young beasts.
All of you need to earnestly cultivate. Ill bring whoever cultivates faster into the mountains, Shi
Hao said while laughing.
He helped these kids explain the methods of cultivation and gave them pointers for most of the
day. Only when it was about time to eat did this group of lively fellows scatter.
The sound of bird cries ran through the air. A few enormous vicious birds descended, bringing
with them a powerful gale. It was precisely Big Peng, Violet Cloud, and Little Green, the Green
Scaled Eagles descendants. However, they have long evolved, and their bloodlines were much
stronger now.
These transformations were not unrelated to the Willow Deity. The three birdlings lived by the
willow tree and continuously underwent development. They began to awaken their ancestors
bloodlines.
Violet Cloud, you guys have to learn carefully. Im going to teach you all a few things, Shi Hao
said.
The three birds have also grown up. They were powerful, but Shi Hao still felt that they havent
yet received the primary inheritance of the archaic demonic bird Green Sky Peng, so he had to
supplement their teaching.
The very first precious technique he received was from these three young birds. It gave him great
enlightenment, and right now, it was time for him to repay this kindness.
The Green Sky Peng and the great Golden-Winged Peng were of a similar race. They were
considered the most valiant existences within the descendants of the Kun Peng. Right now, Shi
Hao used the Kun Pengs technique to peel back and reveal the techniques of Violet Cloud and the
others!
This is our ancestors technique?! Violet Cloud and the others were stupefied, and they all
became incomparably excited. Even though their bloodlines were revived, the inheritance that
was left behind was in fragments and had long become incomplete. However, they were now able
to see such a wondrous and world-shocking thing.
During the following days, Shi Hao continuously broke down the demonic birds inheritance and
engraved it into their hearts, allowing them to slowly comprehend it.
In the end, the great aunt Green Scaled Eagle returned. After listening carefully, she gained
profound enlightenment and went into seclusion training.
During the following days, Shi Hao cultivated while also teaching the children. He also divided
the precious artifacts he received from the outside world among the villagers.
Zhizhi! A golden streak of light flew over. Hairy Ball had returned together with the big red bird
and Second Baldy.
These three would appear and disappear unpredictably, and it could be seen how tenacious they
were. They spent their days in the great wastelands in search of the supreme divine treasury.
Shi Hao suddenly thought of something and shot Hairy Ball a look. He learned from the little red
bird in the Fire Clans ancestral rounds that the mountain treasure ended up in the hands of the
Zhuyan. His mind was burning with anticipation.
Hairy Ball, where did you put the mountain treasure?
His eyes were burning passionately as he looked at Hairy Balls body. He noticed that some of this
fellows damaged symbols had revived, but other than that, there wasnt much.
Hairy Ball was rather curious and expressed that it had no idea what Shi Hao was talking about.
In the end, Shi Hao brought it back to that quiet place ten thousand li out. Back then, not a single
blade of grass grew in that barren place, but now, it was rich with grass and renewed with life.
This was a dried up great lake, with no more water now. Shi Hao quickly returned to this place
and carefully searched around.
There was a hole at the bottom of the lake. Back then, Hairy Ball had been buried right here. Shi
Hao was immediately shocked when he came here, because there was someone who had
rummaged through it already.
The hard and dry mud was clearly dug out. The deepest parts of this place had been scooped out.

Hairy Ball cried out loudly with zhizhi sounds. It then began to frantically scratch its own fur, as if
it remembered something. It sent Shi Haos thoughts and said, My thing was hidden here. Its
gone!
Oh no, someone else got to it first! Shi Haos mind sank.
Hou Hairy Ball was furious. Even though it was only the size of a fist, an incredibly intense
fluctuation was released. Its golden hairs all stood on end, and its eyes were fiery red, shooting
out two beams of light.
The most shocking thing was that it now had three heads and six arms. The bones within its body
continuously moved about and made sounds.
Ah Hairy ball cried out loudly. It couldnt restrain its anger.
Shi Hao was dumbstruck, but soon after, he revealed an excited look. Did Hairy Ball return to
how it was in the past? It actually revealed this kind of great ability. When he looked carefully, he
noticed that its damaged symbols have recovered quite a bit.
Zhuyans precious technique, Three Heads Six Arms divine ability!
There wasnt much to be gained here, so Shi Hao returned to Stone Village. He carefully studied
Hairy Ball, and even though it didnt remember what had happened before, its strength increased
by a large amount.
Hairy Ball, teach me your precious technique. Shi Hao did not let the mountain treasure event
get to him, and instead, he seemed rather excited.
Not bad, the Zhuyans body technique is definitely an enlightenment of the highest level. The
Willow Deity spoke.
In the following half a mouth, Shi Hao carefully studied and tried to understand the symbols that
Hairy Ball recovered.
Forget the others, just the Three Heads Six Arms divine ability was already exceptional enough
and could stir up the entire wasteland region. This was an incredibly powerful precious technique
that would make even the eyes of powers in the ancient era red.
Unfortunately, Hairy Ball still didnt fully recover. Shi Hao obtained a portion of the Zhuyans
technique, but just this portion alone was already much more powerful than the precious
techniques of archaic descendants.
In the following months, Shi Hao earnestly cultivated within Stone Village. From time to time, he
would bring the children into the mountains to pick precious medicines and hunt.
During this period of time, he fully cultivated the Zhuyans technique. He now had another divine
ability!
Hairy Ball, one day, Ill be able to help you recover and restore all of your divine might, Shi Hao
said.
Time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, another two months passed. Shi Hao was almost
fifteen years old. He created a stable foundation and further increased his strength. All of his
divine abilities were pushed to their limits.
Uncle Hao, what kind of fist technique is that? A naughty brat asked.
Lightning fist! Shi Hao laughed and replied. He explained it to them. These were the symbols he
obtained from the lightning dogs, which he passed onto the children.
Unfortunately, this kind of technique wasnt very useful for him. In the end, he mixed it into the
Suan Ni technique, increasing the power of the lightning a bit.
Apart from this, there were still a few small divine abilities that he merged together with the
important precious techniques he grasped to increase their power.
At the front of the village, eighty one shining willow branches extended from the thick willow
tree. They were green and lush as they gently swayed about. They seemed rather indistinct as
primal chaos swirled about them.
Under the willow tree, Shi Hao sat with his legs crossed and eyes closed. His mind was focused on
studying a piece of beast skin.
This was something that he obtained from the Void God Realm, and recorded on it was the sword
intent of a saint. There was also a small world sealed within that he wanted to open and
thoroughly study.
Suddenly, the willow tree swayed, and the primal chaos that was being exuded became even more
dense. It immediately surrounded this place, moreover, the Willow Deity transmitted sound
mentally.
The great chaos of the wasteland region is coming soon!
What? Shi Haos eyes widened. He had always been sitting under the willow tree these days and
forgotten about the passage of time. This sudden news left him completely startled. Was this day
finally about to arrive?
1. I translated as lord, which is a lower nobility class than just , or King. This

paragraph is talking about how the is being tossed from

Chapter 397 One Stalk of Grass Cutting the Stars

He was already made aware of the wasteland regions impending chaos a few years ago. Was it
finally going to start?
The Willow Tree was fresh and green. All of the charred black parts on its trunk have
disappeared. Eighty-one lush and green willow branches descended. Primal chaos filled the air,
creating a rather mysterious and great atmosphere.
Willow Deity, when exactly will it begin? Shi Hao asked.
It can happen at any time, and it will take place before a year has passed. The Willow Deity
replied in a calm manner. The enormous tree was a lush green and full of life. Green multicolored
lights flowing with vitality shone.
Shi Hao sucked in a cold breath of air. Before, he felt that it was still rather far away, but now, it
was suddenly about to arrive. It caught him unprepared and left him quite shocked. This signified
the deaths of many.
He remained silent for a while. Then, he earnestly asked the Willow Deity for guidance. The two
talked for quite a long period of time.
From that day forward, Shi Hao began to cultivate even more fervently to increase his own
strength. His few precious techniques were advanced to their peak, and he opened up many new
paths for himself.
Shi Hao comprehended the dao while sitting under the willow tree, bathed within its hazy
radiance. He studied that piece of beast skin with great effort, trying to understand it by every
means possible. The sword intent directly entered his sea of consciousness.
What a powerful sword intent! Shi Hao was not able to open up the small world within the
beast skin. After calming himself down, he began to study the saints sword intent step by step.
No wonder this sword intent could fight against him even while they were at the same cultivation
realm. The one that created this sword intent was absolutely outstanding and definitely a great
figure within the ancient era. His divine might was absolutely world-shaking. This sword intent
contained too much; it was great and profound.
The more Shi Hao deduced, the more fearful he became. He could vaguely see the scene of the
world being created. This kind of astonishing inheritance was truly rare.
What kind of sword technique is this?! He was greatly shaken. He had a feeling that the
supreme expert that lost this beast skin mustve felt incredibly regretful. This was an object that
should have been passed on from ancient times.
After understanding this, he became even more engrossed. He immersed himself within the
spiritual world and continued to understand more and more. Eventually, heaven and earth
emerged, and a haze circulated between the two.
It was clearly a sword intent, yet it ultimately revealed a world. Heaven and earth seemed like
they had just been divided, revealing this indistinct and hazy scene.
Following this, a streak of thick sword energy surged from the earths surface, entered the clouds,
and pierced into the sky. This was a sky connecting sword energy that could throw the heavens
and earth into chaos!
So powerful! It could run through the heavens and down into the earth. Is this a glimpse of
being at the peak? If this landed on a creatures body, what would happen? This power is simply
boundless! Shi Hao said quietly.
Without mentioning anything else, just this beast skin obtained from the Void God Realm battle
already made it worth it. It completely surpassed his expectations. This was a rarely seen killing
technique inheritance.
Shi Hao carefully studied it and continuously polished his understanding. He wanted to
thoroughly comprehend it, as he was absolutely fascinated. This was a precious technique derived
from the offensive techniques of various families. These techniques were refined together to bring
about the creators own technique.
Sword formation!
When he reached this stage of his comprehension, Shi Hao was shocked. This was definitely
established by a great ancient figure. He saw traces of many different precious techniques, and
the most terrifying symbols were gathered and combined together.
I still ended up underestimating this sword intent. It is more powerful than I had imagined
In particular, since he was currently in the Formation Arrangement Realm, if he carved this
formation inside of him, it would be an excellent choice. Shi Hao thought so highly of it that he
felt that he could use one of his ten great heavenly passages to nourish this sword intent.
Shi Hao completely immersed himself within it. Ten days later, his understanding advanced a
step, and the sword intent changed again.
Brand new symbols and profound meanings emerged.
It was still a hazy world that seemed like it had just separated. Mist curled about, but in between,
stars appeared one after another. In addition, there was also a sun suspended in the sky.
A stalk of grass sprouted from the earth within the haze and blossomed with symbols. A sky
piercing sword energy was released, hacking towards the sun, moon, and stars.
This is Shi Hao was astonished. His eyes narrowed, and then they erupted with light. He
watched carefully in fear of missing something.
When the sword energy filled the skies, some of the great stars began to tremble. As the sword
intent passed by, it was as if they were going to fall. How shocking of a scene was this?
Soon after, the sword intent evolved again. The stalk of grass left the earth, and with a single
strike, it pierced through a great star and sliced it open. Mysterious symbols bloomed and filled
the skies.
Is this the peak of evolution, or is it a realm only achievable in theory? Shi Hao asked himself in
shock. His mind continuously jumped about eagerly and anxiously.
Finally, all of the sword energy disappeared. Heaven and earth separated, and the mist scattered.
The beast skin grew dim. All of the symbols merged together, forming a stalk of grass.
Everything vanished, and only traces of the stalk of grass were left behind on the beast skin. The
symbols flickered before gradually growing dim.
Just a single stalk of grass? The sword intent was birthed from something like this? Shi Hao
was utterly bewildered.
Finally, he began to carefully research it again. He saw a line of text on top of that stalk of grass,
and he was immediately greatly shaken. The master of the ancient sword intent was just a stalk of
grass!
Even a stalk of grass could cut apart the sun, moon, and stars At this moment, Shi Hao
became completely silent. He sat unmoving, as if his mind had received a great blow.
The original form of this ancient might was unexpectedly just a stalk of grass, yet its dao was so
profound, reaching an unfathomable level. Shi Hao received a moment of enlightenment and
immediately went into a wondrous state of mind.
He sat there just like that, as if he was a clay doll. Everyone within Stone Village had long grown
accustomed to seeing this, and no one came to the willow tree to disturb him. They knew that he
was cultivating and comprehending the dao on his own.
Almost a month passed just like that. Shi Hao finally began to wake up slowly. His ten heavenly
passages then emerged and flickered with multicolored light. They glowed with hazy and
auspicious colors.
In particular, symbols densely covered one of his heavenly passages. They ultimately condensed
into a stalk of grass that floated within. The heavenly passages were used to nourish spirits, and
now, a stalk of grass was added.
In addition, he began to engrave formations within his body, and continuously evolve them. The
symbols and sword intent that could hack apart the sun, moon, and stars were like grass leaves as
they emerged within his flesh.
Finally, the sword formation began to shrink, turning into a speck of light. Multicolored light was
released with Shi Haos breathing, and these lights flowed through his blood.
Shi Hao was rather satisfied. Cultivating within the realm of Formation Arrangement required
one to carve and create formations. Now that he directly grasped this kind of ancestral killing
formation, his strength was able to shoot up greatly.
It was clear that this was also a type of cultivation. He continued to move forward along this path.
After Shi Hao grasped this sword intent, the more he experienced it, the more broad and
profound he felt it was. Even though it was the primordial symbols of a stalk of grass, he felt that
it was incredibly powerful.
Not even the inheritances of pure-blooded creatures were able to reach this kind of level. It
might even be able to kill them!
Shi Hao then tried to open up the small world again. With a honglong sound, a small crack
emerged. The inside was hazy, and he once again saw the two words six dao.
Unfortunately, he still wasnt able to truly open it in the end.
Willow Deity, what is this? Shi Hao asked for guidance. While comprehending the dao under
the tree, he could consult the Willow Deity at any time!
This piece of beast skin can be used to store things. When your cultivation realm is high enough,
it will open by itself. The Willow Deity replied.
Shi Hao immediately thought of many things. The stalk of grass technique was recorded on top
of the beast skin, so the small world within must be absolutely astonishing.
Shi Hao continued to cultivate. He used another months worth of time to consolidate everything
he had, and finally, he stood up.
At this time, he remembered that the Willow Deity had once said that it wanted to pass down its
technique to him, only that his cultivation at the time might not have been enough. The Willow
Deity had never mentioned it, and he never asked either.
Time continued to pass. Shi Hao was already fifteen years old. He had cultivated for more than a
year in the village and felt that it was time to walk around. It wasnt too good to always be
cultivating alone.
Cultivation required a peaceful heart. Excessive stubbornness and effort wont lead to an increase
in speed, for the dao is a natural phenomena. Many people understood this, but it would still be
overlooked from time to time.
Can I still roam about outside? Shi Hao was a bit worried. This region was about to become
chaotic. If he leaves now, many unexpected things could end up happening.
Go. The creatures from outside this region have arrived, so take a good look around. Interacting
with others still has its benefits, said the Willow Deity. Moreover, it told him that should the
chaos ever break out and place him in danger, he could bring out that sparkling willow branch to
immediately return to Stone Village.
Back then, the Willow Deity gave him a branch before he left for the northern sea. The dark green
jade-like branch was still at his side since he never used it in the Kun Peng nest.
Shi Hao left Stone Village. This time, he brought the big red bird along to bring it to see its
master. He gave the scarlet feather that little red gifted to Stone Village to it as well.
Are you serious, the Fire Clans guardian spirit? Being the size of a bean, can it really teach me
anything? Along the way, the big red bird continued to chatter noisily because it was actually
really excited.
The descendant of a vermillion bird could very well be its master; just the thought alone made it
grin incessantly.
Youngster, what are you trying to do? Halfway there, the big red bird cried out miserably. Shi
Hao splashed a special type of black paint on its body, making it completely pitch black. The
scarlet multicolored light around its body was completely drowned out.
It turned into a crow in the blink of an eye. As Shi Hao flew through the great wastelands, many
creatures cried out, thinking that this was an ominous sign.
So unlucky! I saw a black crow spirit!
What a bad omen No matter how you look at it, its a messenger of death.
The big red birds nose almost became crooked from its anger. It was unwilling to suffer this as it
flew past this boundless mountain range with Shi Hao on its back. They entered a place with
cities and towns.
A month later, the big red bird brought Shi Hao to Fire Nation Capital. They had flown this entire
time, so it was clear just how great the distance was.
They descended quite a bit of distance away from the city. The big red bird shrunk down on its
own accord and stood on Shi Haos shoulder.
With even the big red birds body becoming completely black, Shi Hao naturally changed his
appearance as well. The battle of the Void God Realm shook the entire world, and his name was
still circulating about.
In particular, he killed a few supreme experts. If he just strutted into the big city, once someone
discovered him, it could easily end badly. At the very least, there would be quite a few people
surrounding him.
Hairy Balls precious technique isnt bad! SHi Hao entered the town without a hitch. The war
general that guarded the city gates only swept a glance over him. Their eyes didnt stop on him for
long.
Seventy-two Transformations1, this kind of technique was simply amazing. Unfortunately, Shi
Hao only obtained a portion of this inheritance.
An endless stream of horses and carriages ran through the main road, and there were people
everywhere. Stores lined both sides of the street, and the shouts of auction houses continuously
sounded. This place was bustling with activity.
The peaceful Stone Village and this great flourishing city were vastly different. It almost felt as if
he had just been born into a new world.
Fire Nation Capital was extremely large, being one of the wastelands biggest cities. All types of
creatures could be seen. Shi Hao was shocked to find a few powerful individuals as soon as he
arrived. Moreover, they were all quite young, and they were of all different types of races.
What kind of race is that? How come Ive never seen it before? The big red birds eyes narrowed
as it stood on top of Shi Haos shoulder, staring at a few girls with pure white wings on their
backs. His eyes revealed a rotten glint.
Shi Hao was also a bit puzzled. They were quite special and didnt seem like normal feather race
creatures, because there were also halos above their heads. They were all extremely beautiful.
Other than this group, they saw other races that they did not recognize. Only after asking around
did they find out that these were all young experts from outside this region.
The battle between the two Stone brothers shook the world. Even the cultivators outside of this
region heard about it, and a few interested young experts came here as a result, someone said.
The great sects outside this region were already making preparations to march into the wasteland
region.
During the battle that year, the little Stone looked down on the world. There were creatures from
outside this region who werent convinced and came here as a result.
Soon after, Shi Hao heard a few rumors. Quite a few people knew that he was on friendly terms
with the Fire Clan princess, so there were many young experts who wanted to find him through
this path.
The dual-pupils shook the ancient world, yet in this era, he was killed. The commotion that was
created as a result reached outside this region.
I refuse to believe that this Shi Hao is truly that powerful! There were a some creatures from
outside this region that walked together and discussed among themselves. Some of them were
especially arrogant.
Shi Haos face remained calm when he heard this.
Are the two Stone brothers truly that powerful? I want to see for myself just how dazzling they
are. An extremely beautiful young lady spoke softly. She was so dazzling that others found it
hard to open their eyes. There were a few young experts at her side.
Yi, thats one of the mysterious regions ten beauties. From the distance, someone cried out in
alarm while staring at her.
Are the two Stone brothers that formidable? They dont seem that great to me. I really want to
meet him. Another group of people walked over.
The smaller Stone is too extraordinary. Who can compete against him? You wouldnt talk like
that if you truly saw him. Someone said while sighing.
Quite a few cultivators from outside this region were in the city. They were all powerful.
Unfortunately, after that battle, the smaller Stone brother never came out again. Some people
said that he was suppressed by the Void God Realms domain lord, and there are others that said
that he was already half dead after fighting against the older Stone brother and that it was too
hard for him to make another appearance. No one knows whether any of these news are true or
false.
Shi Hao was shocked. More than a year had passed, yet so many people were still talking about
him.
I can wait! I want to see this smaller Stone for myself. If he truly dares to show himself, I want to
give him a go and see what exactly he is! Someone laughed coldly.
No one knew that this unreasonably young king was actually standing not too far from them, and
that he had entered this great capital.
1. If you guys ever watched journey to the west, the monkey king was known for seventy two
transformations
Chapter 398 Divine Tree Guardian Spirit
Fire Nation Capital was extremely large, occupying a large amount of space. It had existed since
the ancient times, baptised by the endless passage of time. It did not collapsed this entire time.
How unfortunate. Weve been here for so many days, yet we havent encountered a single human
race expert. Is the so called battle between the two Stone brothers really true? Otherwise, how
could there not even be anyone that seems close to them?
There were a few people who were doubtful. They came from outside this region and stayed
within this large city for many days, yet in the end, they didnt even see a single exceptional
youth.
You cant say it like that. The Fire Nations princess is not simple. She seems to possess the blood
of the Vermilion Bird, and she is always changing. I have also seen her a few times, and each time
I see her, she would always be much stronger. She isnt a simple figure.
These people temporarily stopped on the streets when they recognized each other. After chatting
for a while, they separated again.
People continuously moved about in a seemingly endless stream. This majestic ancient city was
flourishing with activity with who knew how many tens of thousands of people entering and
leaving each day. It was extremely bustling. When people walked on the streets, their shoulders
bumped into each other.
Of course, the most shocking thing was that there were creatures from all different races present
here. There were even some races that they had never seen before.
Shi Hao saw many races with bizarre and monstrous appearances. He had never even heard of
creatures like them before, but the other people on the street didnt dare to point at or talk about
them. It was clear that these creatures were quite powerful, and the people here knew that a loose
tongue would only cause trouble.
There were many stores at the sides of the streets, and they were all stores with well-established
reputations. There was no lack of medicine, weapon, treasure stores, or restaurants. Many
cultivators came in and out of their doors; business was booming.
Shi Hao was extremely relaxed as he walked about. He stayed over a year in the mountains where
it was extremely peaceful, to the point where he became a bit lonely. Now that he entered such a
bustling world of mortals, he felt extremely comfortable.
After growing weary of the clamoring of the world, entering a world of peace is a type of
pleasure. However, after staying too long in a tranquil place, spending time in a flourishing city
has its own type of enjoyment.
Shi Hao spoke to himself. He was rather moved, but soon after, he became baffled. He made the
connection that there were two types of cultivators: those that bitterly cultivated in isolation and
the free and unfeathered eccentrics in the world of mortals. These were two completely different
lifestyles.
What a large tree! Shi Hao was shocked. When he arrived at the eastern part of this ancient city,
he saw an ancient tree that reached into the skies. It was truly enormous.
Its entire body was fiery red and surging with scarlet multicolored lights. Regardless of whether it
was the branches or the leaves, they were all red. The treetop was like a large fan reaching into
the sky as it towered in the city. It was clear that this tree was rather special.
What kind of tree was this? The diameter of this tree was at least a few dozen meters in length,
and its old bark extended out layer after layer. It was clearly quite ancient. The enormous tree
occupied quite a large region.
This tree was even taller than a mountain. It was simply impossible for an ordinary city to contain
such a tree. Fortunately, Fire Nations capital was large enough and could occupy many enormous
mountains. As a result, the amount of space this tree occupied didnt matter too much.
This is the Fire God Tree. Back then, it was also one of the Fire Nations guardian spirits! There
were people discussing. It was clear that Shi Hao wasnt the only one that was shocked. Many
people that had just arrived in the city had similar expressions.
This place was a well known tourist location. Those that visited the Fire Nation would all take a
look here; otherwise, it would be rather regretful.
This tree has existed since the ancient years and grew until today. Unfortunately, its divine fire
has been extinguished and its divine awareness dried up. It no longer possesses any great divine
abilities. Someone said.
This used to be a divine tree guardian spirit? When Shi Hao heard this, his eyes began to dazzle.
This was too shocking! He began to inspect it carefully.
This tree was truly enormous and ancient to a ridiculous level. For this tree to grow to this level
and experience the endless passage of time, based on normal reasoning, even if its divine flame
was extinguished, it should still be able to become great again. It was definitely not an ordinary
tree.
However, after watching it for a while, he did not notice any divine fluctuations. It did not possess
that kind of aura.
The things those people said werent untrue. It had once became a deity, but later on, its divine
flame was extinguished. As a result, it became a regular tree.
Shi Hao was extremely interested. He asked around for guidance to find out more details.
During the struggles between saints in the ancient years, deities fought. This was a period of
brilliance, as well as a time of chaos for the world. Powerful figures emerged in large numbers
and great talents soared across the sky. The great ancient countries first started during this era
This tree came from the Fire Nations ancestral grounds, just like the Vermilion Bird. Their
powers were closely related, and they both became deities. They were incomparably valiant and
surpassed all those around them.
When the Fire Nation became a country, it fought against all sides together with the Fire Nations
Holy Emperor and established great achievements. Unfortunately, while struggling against large
numbers of powerful individuals, it suffered a disaster. Its divine flame was attacked and
destroyed, dropping down from the divine altar. The Vermilion Bird and the Holy Emperor were
its old friends, and as a result, they brought it to take root in the Fire Clan, allowing it to continue
living through great magic.
Even though it survived, its previous will, the divine flame, and the rest have scattered. It is now
simply an ordinary tree.
The reason it was able to live for so long is due to the moisture of the Immortal Sprint. However,
it can no longer ignite its divine flame again, to the point where it cannot step on the path of dao
again.
Many people were discussing this, and all of them sighed with sorrow and regret. An ancient
splendid divine existence ultimately ended up in such a state.
Wu, you guys have only described one side of the story. It isnt complete. There is another
rumor, only that there arent many people that believe it. An elder walked over and said.
What other story is there? Some people revealed looks of shock.
It is rumored that this trees divine fire hasnt been completely extinguished, but rather that it is
undergoing rebirth, said the elder.
What?! Many people became stupefied when they heard these words. If it was reborn again, just
how terrifying would it be? It would be unbelievable!
You have to understand that it has existed from the ancient times until now! If this really was
true, then who in this world could be its opponent? At the very least, if an ancient deity didnt
emerge, there would be no one that could be its opponent.
Why do you think there are some great sects that came to form an alliance with the Fire Nations
imperial family? Rumor has it that it is precisely because they are scared of this rumor.
Impossible! Many people didnt believe this.
The descendants of the Fire Nation Capital City have all heard of this rumor, only, not many
people seem to pay much attention to it now. The elder shook his head and left with his hands
clasped behind his back.
There really was this kind of rumor. In the past, Ive also heard a few elders that discussed this
here. There was someone else that spoke from the side and gave out even more detailed
information.
It was rumored that during the countrys sacrifices, the ones that immersed within divine flames
were not only the guardian spirit and Fire Emperor, but a portion of it was even poured here to
nourish this ancient tree.
Lets go and get some tea and food while the sky is still bright. Someone said and waved
towards his companions.
There were many floating palaces in the sky. They were all extremely big and quite far from the
ground. They were all located around this ancient tree.
I believe that elders words somewhat and dont think that it is too unreasonable. Every time I go
up this palace, I always feel like it will help my comprehension of the dao.
After hearing these people talk, Shi Haos mind was shaken. He looked towards those enormous
palaces and revealed a look of shock. He wanted to go up and take a look.
However, just when he was about to pay it a visit, he was suddenly given a fright. The prices were
ridiculous! Just a cup of tea was enough to make one go bankrupt!
Ordinary people werent able to go up at all, and they couldnt fly into the sky either. These were
truly like bejeweled jade palaces that were constructed in the sky. They were protected by
mysterious formations that prevented them from falling.
The palace sparkled with brilliant lights. Clouds curled up around these palaces one after another.
It truly seemed like an enormous divine hall.
Shi Hao walked up the jade steps and entered the biggest palace. He paid the high price and
entered. What he saw was quite extraordinary.
Those that could enter were naturally all cultivators. Moreover, their identities werent ordinary.
Otherwise, how could the price be so high? It was enough to make normal cultivators shrink back.
In a sense, this place became the gathering place for Fire Country Capitals cultivators. After
entering this luxurious place, Shi Hao encountered even more creatures from outside th is region.
Soon after, he felt that the price he paid wasnt wrong and was still rather worth it, because he
was able to learn some important information from their discussions.
Supreme experts seem to have completely disappeared. They are all a bit scared of the imminent
crisis and as a result theyve gone into hiding.
This kind of news made Shi Haos eyebrows jump; this was definitely good news. Since those
kinds of figures werent going to jump out, it wouldnt be a big deal even if he revealed his rea l
body.
The divine arent better than the mustard seed. This is news obtained from the great sects from
outside this region. It seems like those with greater cultivation will suffer a greater impact this
time. We should still be okay, right?
Wu, Im pretty sure that the information is valid. Even the supreme experts of the great sects
outside this region are backing off, yet their young disciples have stayed behind. The day of great
change doesnt seem to be too far off.
Shi Hao chose a location by the window where he could see the enormous ancient tree. He tried
to cultivate and found that it was truly a bit easier.
Shi Hao took up residence here, and each day, he would ascend into the luxurious palace and
cultivate here. Cultivating within the clamoring of the mortal world was a different type of
experience.
The big red bird silently cursed. It couldnt sleep at all like this and could only unwillingly
accompany him.
Yi, somethings not right. This is so terrifying! Several days later, he made a shocking discovery,
because when he brought out the Vermilion Birds true feather he obtained from the Holy
Emperor Palace, he experienced an ancient will that was difficult to comprehend.
If he simply tried to sense it without this true feather, he wouldnt have experienced anything.
However, when he held this precious red feather, he seemed to hear a great heartbeat.
This ancient tree wasnt ordinary. It possessed a type of grandeur and a tremendous vitality, only,
those outside couldnt sense it.
At this time, even the creatures from outside this region that entered this place were ignored
when they talked about him.
He hurriedly requested a private room, and then he used the ancient deitys dual-pupil to inspect
the enormous ancient tree. However, he was disappointed in the end, since he wasnt able to see
through it.
In the end, only when he held the Vermilion Birds feather again did some changes take place.
Shi Hao was astonished when he saw a few indistinct scenes within the tree. The dual-pupil alone
wasnt enough; he unexpectedly needed the sacred object of the Vermilion Bird race in order to
see this.
A door created from a pair of Vermilion Bird wings! Shi Haos heart was greatly shaken. It truly
were the wings of a Vermilion Bird within the tree, and it was flowing with auspicious light.
In addition, behind the Vermilion Bird gates was a golden coffin, and it blocked the cave
entrance.
Shi Hao strained his eyes and did everything he could to the point where he was about to bleed
from his eyes. Finally, he saw that there was a male within the golden coffin, and he wasnt
moving.
He immediately shivered. His heart began to pound intensely.
This male was too unusual. His aura was astonishing, and in addition, he seemed especially
similar to a damaged statue he saw within the ancestral grounds Holy Emperor Palace. Huo
Linger had told him previously that this was the Fire Clans Holy Emperor!
The golden coffin blocked the entrance to a cavern. What was inside? Shi Hao trembled inwardly.
He never expected to encounter such a great secret!
 Chapter 399 Gathering of Creatures from Outside the Region
The Fire Clans former guardian spirit took root here, and at the base was a pair of Vermilion Bird
wings that formed a door. Inside was the ancient Holy Emperors golden coffin which blocked the
entrance to a cave.
How could anyone not be shocked by this scene? Shi Hao broke out in cold sweat. He felt like he
had just stumbled upon a great secret.
The Fire Nation is quite unordinary. Rumor has it that several great sects allowed their disciples
to enter the Fire Nations ancestral grounds to search for something.
Could it be a secret to becoming a true deity? Even if there is such a thing, it probably wouldnt
be in the ancestral grounds.
A few young experts from outside this region were talking among themselves. They didnt seem to
be scared of anything.
Shi Hao was startled. Were the words of these people reliable?
There were a few who entered the luxurious palace and sat down and began to discuss a similar
topic. However, the things they talked about were completely different.
In my opinion, these great sects are looking for the source of the impending calamity. It is
entirely likely for it to originate from this Fire Nation.
These words left many puzzled. Up until now, not many people truly understood the implications
of the great disaster and why it was going to happen.
Shi Hao took a deep breath. He made his final attempt to see past the golden coffin into what lay
inside the cavern.
He put in all his effort. The divine individuals eye shone, and then turned into dao patterns,
merging together with him. His sight immediately pierced through the space in front of him.
Not only was the divine beings eye trembling, even Shi Haos own eye was in pain. Blood trickled
out from his eyes. He circulated his divine force to the extreme, since he really wanted to see the
truth inside the cave.
Finally, he was able to see a blurry outline of what lied behind the golden coffin. The ancient tree
was deep and immeasurable, as if it was connected to an ancient world.
A hazy mist wafted about. He saw what appeared to be a ground full of corpses as well as many
ruined weapons. It seemed like a boundless and gloomy ancient battlefield.
However, in the blink of an eye, those things concealed themselves again. Holy radiance surged
violently, and it was as if he was back at the Kun Peng nest where that gate of light was.
Mysterious energy swirled about.
Yi, Lady Qianqian arrived, one of the mysterious regions top ten beauties! She is an extremely
well-known figure in the younger generation. Someone muttered with a fiery expression in his
eyes.
Shi Hao had already completed his probing. When he looked outwards, he saw a young girl. It
was precisely the beautiful creature from outside this region he saw when he had just entered Fire
Nations capital.
She was clearly not of the human race, since there was a rhombus shaped imprint between her
brows. Apart from this, there was also a pair of jade horns on her forehead that seemed like
dragon horns. They were quite short, and they flowed with radiance around her hair. It gave her
an additional unique sense of beauty.
Apart from this, her stature was not much different than that of the human race. Her appearance
was extremely gentle and beautiful, however, from time to time, a sharp glint would emerge from
her eyes.
Mysterious Region? A flash of light flew past Shi Haos eyes, because he knew that his own
parents had entered the mysterious region. In the end, his grandfather also went there.
He really wanted to know the circumstances of that region, but rarely do creatures from that
region enter this one. This time, cultivators from more than one region entered the wasteland
region.
There were a few people around Lady Qianqian, and they were all quite powerful. It was clear that
they were all well-known figures from the mysterious region. They picked a table and all sat
together.
Lady Qianqian, Ive heard that your genius older cousin has had success recently and has
returned from the western sect. Did he not come to the wasteland region? Based on his character,
after hearing about the battle of the two Stone brothers, he definitely wouldve come!
Many people trembled inwardly. Even though he was accepted into the Western Sect, he didnt
seem like someone from a sect like this at all. Every time he came down from the mountains, he
would always challenge others. He was full of vigor, and it seemed like he would challenge
whoever he saw. He was an extremely terrifying individual.
Rumor has it that he cultivated the Vajra Unbreakable Body and has reached the absolute peak
with his physical body. He always plowed through his enemies and rarely suffered defeat.
The Western Sect was also known as the Western Paradise Sect. It was on a level similar to the
Heaven Mending Sect and Sky Severing Sect. It was known as an immortal inheritance and
crossed over several regions. The Vajra Unbreakable Body is one of their great secrets, and those
that were able to obtain such an inheritance were all rather formidable.
He probably came, said Qianqian. Her hair scattered behind her. Her eyebrows were rather
light, and when she smiled, it was as if a flower was blooming.
Many people were shaken after they heard this. Those from the mysterious region all knew how
strong that madman was. He was someone that they never wanted to meet.
The mysterious region was an extremely great region. Not only was the territory that it covered
vast, it was a famous place where numerous great heroes emerged from. The foundation of the
Western Sect was in this region.
Its just a madman. He can only show off in the mysterious region. Someone said this in an
extremely cold voice. It immediately made the atmosphere more tense.
There was actually someone who dared to speak like this, as if they werent worried about that
madman at all. That persons strength was definitely unordinary. Everyone looked towards a jade
table and saw that there was a single person sitting there.
His appearance was ordinary, and he didnt seem to exude a particularly terrifying aura. He
seemed like a human, but he definitely wasnt, because behind him was a pair of pure white
wings. Above his head was also a shining halo.
A feather race expert with imperial blood! Someone gasped. This was a rarely seen figure within
the feather race, one with blood that surpassed the king blood. When he grew up, he would most
likely become the races lord.
What region did he come from? Many people were making their speculations, for the feather race
was a large race. Its members could be found in each major region, so if the race truly united,
their power would be terrifying.
The people from the mysterious region looked over and stared at him. The expressions of those
by Lady Qianqians side were all unpleasant. The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Peng
Right at that moment, the palace doors were pushed open forcefully by a few individuals. Several
individuals entered, and their expressions were overcast. They didnt seem to be too happy.
Yi, its actually the flood regions creatures. From the looks of it, they definitely paid the princess
a visit but only ended up before a closed door. Someone muttered this, because this wasnt the
first time such a thing has happened.
Recently, the Fire Clans Huo Linger had been pestered like crazy. There were many people who
wanted to find the little Stone through her, so in the end, she had to refuse everyone and
disappear from the public eye.
What is so special about her? Isnt she just the princess of some human race? The wasteland
region is finished. Lets see how much longer she can remain arrogant for!
The expressions of these creatures were downcast and full of anger. They werent humans, but
they were currently in humanoid forms. Black air seethed from their faces.
The wasteland region is finished. In the future, the Fire Nation wont even exist anymore. At that
time, this princess or whatever would be the same as a single stalk of grass!
They were extremely angry. Their words were cold, and waves of killing intent seeped out from
them.
Someone recognized that these were Black Cloud Race experts from the flood region. They
possessed the demonic earths black cloud force. They now took human forms, and every single
one was strange and powerful!
When the flood region was mentioned, everyone thought of that black cloud demonic earth. It
had produced an unequalled expert, and this individual even fought his way into the mysterious
region to fight against the old sect master of the Western Paradise Sect.
From the ancient times until now, just how many were there that dared to provoke the Western
Sect? The monkey, and a few of the Black Cloud Clans supreme experts from endless years ago
were probably the only ones reckless and daring enough to slaughter their way into the Western
Paradise Sect.
Could it be that you all still want to fight against the smaller Stone brother? Someone asked
while looking at the Black Cloud Races experts.
Heng! One of the Black Cloud Races experts snorted and said, We dont care about him, but
there are people from our race who want to talk to him.
Everyone revealed strange expressions. They had heard that the Black Cloud Clan was becoming
richer and more powerful by the day. In recent years, they produced several formidable geniuses,
and it was likely that these were the people who wanted to test out the little Stone.
These creatures from outside this region are just too domineering. They are incredibly
disrespectful towards our wasteland region. Someone muttered. There were naturally quite a few
human experts here.
The wasteland region only has the Archaic Divine Mountains that have some kind of backing.
However, during the great disaster, they will probably close their gates. As for the humans, they
are truly weak A creature from the mysterious race shook his head.
Quite a few people agreed with these words, and quite a few of them were humans from outside of
this region.
If the humans here were like fairy Yue Chan or the witch, then those characters definitely
wouldnt suffer from such contempt. Currently, there is only that little Stone, and we dont even
know if he is dead or alive. Could it be that he truly died within that decisive battle, disappearing
from this world?
Regardless of whether it is the bigger or smaller Stone, if they are still alive, a single finger would
be enough to crush you all to death!
Someone said this in a low voice. It wasnt clear where this voice came from, making it hard to
find out who it was that said this.
Shi Hao became speechless. This definitely wasnt him boasting about himself. When he wanted
to find out who it was that said that, the voice had already been cut off.
Truly arrogant! You actually dare to show off in front of us. If you have the strength, then come
out and fight!
By coincidence, Shi Hao had just walked out from the private room. He wasnt trying to face off
against these people, but instead to head towards Lady Qianqians area to ask about the
mysterious regions situation. He wanted to see if he could get any information about his parents.
However, in those creatures eyes, Shi Hao seemed like he was provoking them. Someone got up
as soon as he finished speaking and even walked over. It was as if he was accepting his challenge.
Good, you have guts, actually walking out. Do you want to fight it out against me? This creature
was seething with anger, and his eyes were cold.
Your spiritual awareness seems to be a bit lacking. I wasnt the one that spoke. Youve got the
wrong person. Shi Hao shot him a glance and said these words.
Everyone became speechless. This human brat seemed rather wimpy, but werent his words just
now a type of contempt? Was he mocking the senses of the expert from outside this region?
You are too arrogant! This creature from outside of this region had a pair of fiery bull horns
on his head. Even after changing forms, he still had this trait from his clan. It proved that he
belonged to the Flaming Bull bloodline. Even his temper matched his race, he was easily angered.
Shi Hao naturally didnt bother paying him any attention. He walked with large steps over
towards where Lady Qianqian was.
Dont take another step! The face of the young expert from the Flaming Bull race fell. He
reached out towards Shi Haos shoulder.
Are you looking for a beating?! The big red bird that was napping opened his eyes. Currently,
his body was entirely black like a crow. When it saw the hand descend, it angrily widened its eyes.
With a hong sound, a pair of enormous wings reached out, creating a sharp pi pa sound. The big
red bird directly slapped this Flaming Bull Race expert in the face. It was extremely loud and
clear.
Everyone became dumbfounded. It was just a crow, yet it was so domineering. It gave a creature
from outside this region a slap on the mouth!
Dont provoke me, or this grandpa will beat you until you will wish you were dead! The big red
bird sad arrogantly. His heart was jumping wildly, because it never expected that the few
methods that Second Baldy taught him would be so precise. It didnt miss, since the other side
couldnt dodge at all.
You should die! The Flaming Bull expert was about to rush forward. It was so angry that its
entire body was shaking.
Pa
The big red bird was extremely straightforward. A wing that was seemingly formless sent the
Flaming Bull expert flying out of the palace. It struck cleanly against his mouth.
Second baldy was that powerful? He taught me a few tricks before leaving. If I knew how strong
he was before, I would have made him spill everything! The big red bird was extremely regretful.
These were the few small abilities that Second Baldy taught him before leaving Stone Village.
The creatures from outside this region were all shocked. Who was this person? Even the bird that
he raised was so powerful. What about himself?
Dont irritate this grandpa, or else Ill beat you all to death! The big red bird swept his gaze
through all the cultivators here.
The creatures here were all petrified. They were just looking down on the humans of the
wasteland region, yet this kind of youth appeared. The bird he raised was already so arrogant and
powerful to a ridiculous level. It made many of the creatures here go crazy!
Chapter 400 Overbearing
Who was this youngster? What kind of background did he have? The current situation baffled
quite a few people. The bird on his shoulder was enough to send the Flaming Bull expert flying.
Moo
A long roar sounded. Outside of the palace door, by the jade steps, the expert that had been struck
on the mouth revealed his original form. It was an enormous bull that was entirely blood red in
color. It was suffused in a fiery light as it rushed towards the palace.
The horns of the massive bull were bright red like blood and sparkling with light. They were
incredibly sharp as well. It directly charged at Shi Hao. Even though the hateful bird was the one
who attacked him, he was going to get even through Shi Hao, because he was the birds master.
That bull really has a one-track mind, crying and hollering in my direction. Should I change my
tastes? Recently, the food has tasted rather bland. How about I get a good meal out of this fat
cow. The big red bird said.
With a xiu sound, it flew outwards. Its entire body was black, and it was like a black sun as it
swooped down. Its sharp claws quickly enlarged; this was another one of the small abilities that
he obtained from Second Baldy.
Dang
Sparks flew everywhere as one of the big red birds claws struck against the bulls horns.
Resounding noises rang through the air. An expanse of symbols appeared, and the other claw
struck towards the bulls head. Rainbow colored divine light began to flicker.
Resplendent symbols blossomed. The big red birds claw seemed like it was going to hack through
the other partys skull, giving the Flaming Bull a great fright. It immediately lowered its body.
This bird was just too formidable, leaving the Flaming Bull completely shaken. It felt like the
other partys divine strength wasnt that profound, but for some reason, it couldnt avoid any of
its attacks. Regardless of whether it was the wings or those claws, they all possessed some kind of
spiritual nature that made them accurately land on its body.
Flying Phoenix Claw! In the distance, the young Feather Race expert with emperor blood
revealed a deep divine radiance within his eyes. His aura immediately erupted as he stared at the
big red bird with astonishment.
What? Thats the divine ability of the phoenix Flying Phoenix Claw? Some people cried out in
surprise from the side.
Quite a few people revealed looks of shock. As long as the technique was tied to the True Dragon,
Divine Phoenix, and other creatures of that level, even if the technique wasnt complete, it would
still be formidable and possess shocking might.
Techniques belonging to the Archaic Vicious Ten, even if they were only fragments and extremely
damaged, would still possess great influence. It would even be enough to allow a sect to quickly
flourish.
Flying Phoenix Claw was naturally one of the formidable precious techniques that the Divine
Phoenix passed down. Only, this kind of divine technique had been lost in transmission since the
ancient era and was no longer being passed down.
Its extremely damaged and can only be considered a small divine ability. However, there is still
a few interesting mysteries within it that are worth studying. Someone said in a low voice.
Little calf, you better remember this grandpas words and behave yourself. Otherwise, Im going
to eat you, The big red bird let this creature go and flew back to Shi Haos shoulder.
When everyone heard this, they all felt that this bird was truly unbridled. This tone of voice was
definitely not something that ordinary people could match.
Shi Hao didnt say much and continued to walk forward towards Lady Qianqian. He was not
affected by the conflict at all.
The experts from outside this region all revealed looks of astonishment. They all felt that this
youth wasnt simple. The bird alone was already formidable, so the owner definitely had to be
much more so.
Wait a moment! A cultivator from the Black Cloud Race opened his mouth and walked over.
Was that precious technique the Flying Phoenix Claw?
Is there a need for me to tell you? The big red bird show him a look of disdain.
Many people watched quietly. After all, even though the Flying Phoenix Claw was a damaged
precious technique, there were a few shocking symbols inside. If they were refined, they could
become extremely precious.
The faces of the experts from the Black Cloud Race became overcast.. He wanted to talk to Shi
Hao, because in the end, the big red bird was just a pet raised by the other party. If he could only
talk to this bird, then it would be lowering his own status.
Friend, you seem to be a bit too self-confident. I am talking to you. The expert from the Black
Cloud Race spoke. His eyes did not show good intentions as he stared at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao didnt even pay him any attention. He had already heard that there were several experts
from the Black Cloud Race who wanted to find out his whereabouts from Huo Linger. They
wanted to bring him back for interrogation; wasnt this a bit pompous and overbearing?
You dare to ignore this grandpa, it seems like your mouth also deserves a few slaps. The big red
bird revealed a vicious glint. It had never been of particularly good character; to be more precise,
it wasnt some good bird at all.
Friend, the Flying Phoenix Claw is tied to my race. It is a divine ability that one of my clans
supreme experts grasped. I want to ask how your bird was able to obtain it? The Black Cloud
Races expert continued to press forward.
You truly have no sense of shame. Just a guy thats randomly emitting black smoke, yet you want
to say that this precious technique is your clans precious technique. Are you trying to get it
because its righteous or something? Your reasoning is too stupid. The big red bird mocked.
The expert from the Black Cloud Race released a cold snort. When he saw that Shi Hao didnt pay
him any attention, he brought out a precious technique. A haze began to spread outwards.
Scarlet multicolored light flickered within the big red birds eyes. A wing quickly slapped over to
scatter the black smoke, but it found that the haze didnt scatter at all and continued to surge
forward.
Do you really think that obtaining some odd bits and pieces of the Divine Phoenix precious
technique would allow you to do whatever you wanted? Its just some small dao! The black cloud
expert sneered. Black smoke began to surge, and not only did it surround the big red bird, it was
trying to suppress Shi Hao as well.
Suddenly, fiery light was scattered outwards. Not only were there the divine flames of the
Vermilion Bird, there was also another type of divine radiance. They were also obtained from
Second Baldy. They were currently being released from the big red birds mouth. It immediately
set the black smoke aflame, creating chi chi sounds.
The expert from the Black Cloud Race moved backwards. Half of its body was set aflame.
Pa
Immediately after, the big red bird stretched out a wing, similarly striking the mouth and sent
him flying back to the jade steps below.
Friend, you are a bit too arrogant. By using the vicious bird to inflict harm, are you looking down
on us? Several experts from the Black Cloud Race stood up at the same time and moved forward.
Everyone revealed strange expressions. This race was truly not good to provoke. They had
formidable figures among their ranks. Endless years ago, their ancient ancestor had even fought
against the Western Sects master and displayed a part of the Divine Phoenixs precious
technique. His divine might was matchless.
Hong!
The big red birds entire body shone, and dazzling scarlet multicolored light bloomed from its
pitch black body. It shone like a resplendent sun, exuding a terrifying might that seemed like it
could destroy the nine great heavens.
This even left Shi Hao shocked. It seems like Second Baldys background wasnt simple, and the
small abilities he passed onto the big red bird werent ordinary at all.
The creatures from the Black Cloud Race all backed up and were scared stiff. Their faces paled.
This was truly a type of humiliation. That youth hadnt spoken a single word from start to finish,
and just the bird alone blew all of them back.
Dont provoke this grandpa. If you dont hurry up and make yourselves scarce, Ill pile you all up
into a mound! The big red bird said.
At this time, Shi Hao had already arrived in front of Lady Qianqian and paid the proper etiquette
as a cultivator.
When those from the mysterious region first saw him come over, they all bore hostility. However,
after seeing the crow on his shoulder display its might, they all grew apprehensive and didnt
dare to act recklessly.
However, these people were still a bit unresigned. Lady Qianqian was one of the mysterious
regions top ten beauties and was extremely well known. Her status among the younger
generation in particular was extremely high.
Yet right now, a youth from the wasteland region actually wanted to worm his way into being
friends with the mysterious regions pearl and have a chat. This was like a direct provocation
towards these young experts that were protectors of their flower.
It seems that I have yet to ask this brother for his name. Lady Qianqian spoke. Her pure white
jade-like face carried a soft smile. She seemed to be a bit curious about this rather powerful
youth.
I remember! He is That Bird Grandpa from the Void God Realm. He is on extremely good
terms with the small Stone! Suddenly, someone spoke up, as if he suddenly woke up.
What? It was the shameless duo? Someone cried out in shock. However, he shook his head
again soon after. Bird and Coin grandpa werent that young.
Its definitely him. The bird on the shoulder has the same morality and conduct. As for age, it
could naturally be covered up in the Void God Realm. Someone made this deduction.
Shi Hao didnt express any opinion. His face carried a faint smile.
I have heard previously that the lady is a heavenly beauty with magnificent style and talent, a
moon within the mysterious region. Today, I am able to see that it was a well-deserved
reputation. Shi Hao flattered.
Everyone loved to hear praises, especially a beautiful girl, as they naturally liked hearing other
people compliment their beauty. However, Lady Qianqian only smiled lightly and said, This
brother praises too much. I do not dare claim to be as such.
I am particularly interested in the mysterious region and hear that there are many famous
mountains, temples, and hidden treasuries. Ive always wanted to visit it for myself Shi Hao
started a conversation. He wanted to learn about the mysterious regions great powers.
Lord Qianqian didnt know where he came from, but she didnt speak rudely. The mysterious
region is truly divine earth. No one knows just how many great experts rose from this place, the
Western Sects foundation lies there. In addition, there are remnants of the Vicious Ten, as well
as the Immortal Mountain. If this brother wants to experience it for himself, there are many
miraculous things to search for.
The two began to chat, and both of them had smiles on their faces. They seemed to be on rather
good terms.
Right at this time, the palaces doors were blasted open, and several young experts walked in.
They were all rather extraordinary, and one of them had a particularly impressive appearance. A
head of purple hair scattered down on his shoulders, and streaks of cold lightning shot out as he
opened and closed his eyes.
His physique was sturdy, and divine splendor flowed from his pores. There was an explosive force
to his body, as well as a type of unruliness. Who are you? Even someone like you dares to sit next
to the lady? Get lost!
Everyone became speechless. This was just too overbearing and tyrannical!
Even Shi Hao revealed cold light from his eyes. Ever since he left the village, he hadnt
encountered someone who berated him like this yet. This fellow was ridiculously unbridled and
aggressive.
The big red bird was also stupefied. He was speaking to the devilish brat like this? In the past,
there had never been such an egotistical person like this. Those that dared to behave rudely were
eaten, not to mention those who were unreasonable like this fellow.
Only those of the mysterious region shivered inwardly. They were well aware of this persons
shocking identity. It was precisely Lady Qianqians cousin that was known as a madman. They
were all extremely fearful of the strength behind this individual.
After all, rumor had it that he was an important descendant of an important figure in the
Immortal Mountain. His character had always been like this as well, extremely overbearing. The
younger disciples that saw him walking around in the mysterious region would always avoid him,
since they werent willing to provoke him.
The Immortal Mountain was comparable to Western Paradise Sect. It had an extraordinary status
and possessed an extremely terrifying inheritance.
However, this sect did not stretch across multiple regions, and its numbers werent great. Its
important figures rarely made an appearance in the outside world, and the sect did not expand
outwards. However, it was still ranked above many of the great sects of the various regions.
Recently, this young man had always been chasing after Qianqian, so now that he saw a youth
sitting next to her, chatting in such a joyous manner without even trying to cover anything up, he
immediately became hostile, telling Shi Hao to get lost.
Did you not hear him?! Someone said from the side, and it was clear that this youth was trying
to ride the momentum.
You all are finished! The big red bird cried out.
Shi Hao glared outwards, and his body erupted with a berserk aura in just a split second. Several
individuals felt their blood and qi swirling uncontrollably within them from the pressure and
backed up in retreat. Apart from that one youth, they all coughed out large mouthfuls of blood.
Everyone became shocked. The master of that crow was formidable after all!
You are the one thats finished! The youth shouted.
Shi Hao released a cold snort and reached out with a large hand. Symbols flickered, and with
a honglong sound, it suppressed downwards. He caught him with a single movement and then
began to violently give him a beating with pi pa sounds.
The cultivators from the mysterious region were all horrified. This youth had provoked a great
disaster. He actually dared to beat the mouth of that person! Quite a few people in this palace
might get caught up in this.
It was because they knew that the the Immortal Mountain was fiercely protective of their people.
Even though they didnt have many people, they were all shocking experts. The reason this youth
was able to act so domineeringly was became no one dared to provoke him.
You The youth shouted angrily.
Shi Hao reached out and pointed at the place between his brows and probed his sea of
consciousness. In that instant, he understood a lot. He suddenly understood why he dared to act
so overbearingly.
So it seems like you are from the Immortal Mountain. Even though its numbers arent great,
they are an ancient land that rivals the Heaven Mending Sect and Heavenly paradise Sect. Shi
Hao laughed coldly.
Soon after, him mind trembled again, because he received another extremely important piece of
news. After his grandfather the Great Demonic God entered the mysterious region, he ultimately
entered the Immortal Mountain.
What?! Shi Hao was greatly shocked. The Immortal Mountain might have been connected to his
parents.
He carefully probed this youths sea of consciousness, and his face continuously became overcast.
This arrogant and tyrannical fellow might even have an extremely faint blood relation to him.
This truly was an unexpected harvest. Just now when he was chatting with Lady Qianqian, he was
just beating around the bush. Wasnt information on his parents what he truly wanted to know?
He never thought that he would be able to obtain such important clues from this domineering
youths body.
You dare to act against me When the youth was released, he glared at him angrily with vicious
eyes.
Who do you think you are? Im going to discipline you properly in your parents place! When
Shi Hao finished speaking, he pulled him over and began to slap his face repeatedly. The sounds
that were released were extremely ear-splitting.
Everyone became dumbfounded. Did this youth go crazy? Was he trying to get himself killed by
the Immortal Mountain?!
