Perfect World

Chapter 1913 - Searching For Exceptional Experts

The cosmos, there were star remains scattered everywhere, the scene extremely desolate.

Apart from this, there was blood, the blood of undying beings, swirling with sinister radiance. Even further out, there were the bodies of three great undying beings, some exploding, some still having a corpse.

Suddenly, in the dusky and ice-cold cosmos, a rumbling sounded. Some star remains burned, turning into ashes.

Then, the three undying beings’ blood and bones shone, everything ignited, burning intensely here.

These were the irregular scenes produced following their deaths. It was extremely terrifying. There were no heaven’s tears, nor was there any divine light or holy aura, only complete destruction.

Returning to the dao!

They were returning to the dao, becoming a portion of the laws of the universe, about to merge into this area of the cosmos.

Shi Hao quickly took action, using a jade container to absorb the floating undying blood, moreover immediately refining it into medicinal liquid.

This was undying great medicine!

All creatures had spirit, not only could the plants become medicines, even other creatures, including the human body, could be turned into medicine. This was precisely human body undying great medicine.

Shi Hao seized a portion of true blood, but there was still a larger half that exploded, blood dyeing the starry skies red, releasing blazing radiance, burning fiercely, returning to this part of the world.

The three great undying beings were destroyed, completely assimilated into the dao, absorbed by the laws of heaven and earth.

This battle ended, all under heavens shocked!

Forget about the cultivators of all clans, even the terrifying figures of great restricted regions narrowed their eyes, gazing into the cosmos, seriously thinking things over.

This battle accomplishment was too glorious!

This also made many people feel scared, the creatures in the restricted regions all shivering inwardly. Just how many years had Huang cultivated for? They found this hard to accept, a bit unable to believe this.

Shi Hao didn’t stop, could be said to be unrelenting. He hurried to another star system, entering a Land of Darkness, slaughtering his way towards a massive black demonic lotus.

Right now, his will force incarnation was here, currently trying to suppress it, but it wasn’t too effective. Whenever that demonic lotus was cut down, it would always regrow.

This black lotus was extremely sinister, having an undying nature. It absorbed the chaotic energy of primal chaos, refining the void. At the same time, there were roots that appeared, covering some stars, taking root on them, its life force difficult to extinguish.

“Its main root is in another realm, only a portion of it is rooted in this realm. That is why we couldn’t kill it!” Mu Qing’s expression was serious as he reported to Shi Hao.

Shi Hao had already experienced this. He frowned, activating his own precious techniques, also using all types of divine abilities. He could destroy the black demonic lotus, but he couldn’t completely erase it.

“All of you, withdraw!” Shi Hao said. He thought of a flame within him.

It was that mysterious ancient flame that was made of great dao symbols, obtained next to the nine dragons pulling coffin. It was always hidden within his body, normally not displaying any activity.

As his dao skills increased, after experiencing the Age of Emperor Collapse, during those years, he examined the nature of this flame, sometimes able to move it.

Today, he wanted to try it out.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

A fist-sized lump of fiery light appeared before him. It was extremely soft and gentle, carrying an extremely peaceful aura. It wasn’t true fiery light, but rather something made from all types of ancient symbols.

“Go!”

Shi Hao released a light shout. The fist-sized ‘fireball’ flew out, making contact with that black demonic lotus.

At first, it was still peaceful, but a moment later, when this mysterious ancient flame followed its roots, something unexpected happened. There were symbols that flickered about by the roots, produced by the demonic lotus.

Hong!

As if a sun exploded, this fiery light surged intensely, burning the roots of this demonic lotus.

In the past, it only engraved great dao symbols, but now, it was being moved by Shi Hao, all of it erupting. The various ancient symbols stored within it were clashing intensely there.

The massive black demonic lotus was ignited, turning into a massive torch, burning fiercely.

It floated in the void, some roots planted on celestial bodies, some rooted in the void, originally incomparable terrifying. However, it now suffered disaster, shaking intensely.

One could see that the symbols it produced were flickering, surrounded by that lump of fiery light.

Chi!

The massive demonic lotus was destroyed because the lump of fire followed its roots, actually burning its way into the other realm.

That sphere of light disappeared for a moment, truly crossing into the other realm.

However, in the end, it returned again.

The demonic lotus turned into endless ashes, no longer existing.

This was a bridge between the two realms, a passage. In the end, it was destroyed just like that.

Not long afterwards, Shi Hao headed to Desolate Border, sealing the passage that was opened there, bringing away that altar. He was going to research it.

The reason he didn’t destroy it was because he still had something that preoccupied his mind. He wanted to slaughter his way over one day, there was a remnant will within his heart that just wouldn’t disappear. He wanted to see someone!

Only, it was still not time, he was powerless to reverse the heavens.

Shi Hao returned. Imperial Court cheered, all sides celebrating!

That day, all clans came to seek an audience, coming to express their congratulations. Shi Hao’s might was truly incomparable, his bravery dominating the world, shaking all sides.

Of course, these people didn’t feel restraining fear, now more feeling admiration. He went to battle to protect this realm, and not to flaunt his strength.

Huang’s name immediately shook the world!

Even though they all knew that he was extremely strong, in the past, no one had a direct observation. Only when he killed a true immortal and then killed three great undying beings, did everyone realize just how terrifying he was.

He was already truly unrivaled under the sky!

At the very least, of the creatures produced in this great era, not a single one was Shi Hao’s match. He could already dominate the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, difficult for anyone to face him!

The cultivators of all sides came to pay a visit, even more people as if making a pilgrimage, arriving in Imperial Court, wishing to be able to join, become a member.

The most shocking thing was that there were some bitter cultivators who were extremely sincere. If they weren’t taken, then they would kneel outside Imperial Court, refuse to leave.

“Imperial Court has taken many outstanding talents as disciples, becoming stronger again. One can imagine just how terrifying they will become a thousand or two thousand years later. They will definitely overlook all under the sky, no sect will dare go against them.”

There were some who were worried as well. While watching Imperial Court flourish, they were scared that this entire world would be under Imperial Court’s rule. Under this heaven reaching stormy sea, other inheritances could only be small splashes.

In reality, the current Imperial Court was already the number one great sect in the world, far above other inheritances, already incomparable.

In the future, that would be even more unimaginable. Any small troop sent out by Imperial Court would definitely be enough to flatten great long life families that had existed since ancient times.

However, Shi Hao still frowned, feeling like Imperial Court was far from being strong enough. In reality, the others also sensed something, feeling that this time, it was all because of Shi Hao alone that they could avert this disaster.

They didn’t dare imagine what would happen if he was preoccupied with something or if he was defeated in a battlefield, just how bad the consequences would be!

“Imperial Court is a galaxy of talent, especially after a thousand or two thousand years pass, it will even more so rule the heavens above and earth below. Even if the other sects join together, they cannot match it, but it is still lacking… they need several exceptional experts overseeing it!”

Shi Hao, Heavenly Horned Ant, Mu Qing and the others all sensed this issue.

In the end, Shi Hao left, searching for helpers that could truly suppress all sides. This way, he wouldn’t be forced to spread himself too thin.

He left alone, not bringing anyone with him. The first place he arrived in was Fire Province, this place was next to Goddess Academy and Qi Daolin’s past dao rite.

There were too many things that previously happened in this region.

The nine dragons pulling coffin was hidden underground here to begin with, while the flame within his body was also obtained here.

Fire Province had a prairie, as well as a great desert.

This was a desert where not a stalk of grass grew. Shi Hao had already been here for several days, standing here without moving, deriving something the entire time, waiting for something.

Hong!

Earth and stone burst, an imposing great mountain slowly rose from the ground, releasing chaotic energy, as if it had existed from the great beginning.

At the waist of the mountain was an ancient cave that surged with auspicious multicolored light. Immortal mist pervaded the air, the scene shocking.

With a chi sound, he rushed in. He stood in the cave. On the cave’s walls were various hatchet marks, sword etches, and other things left behind by exceptional experts.

It was because these traces all carried great dao style, releasing immortal dao auras.

In the past, even that flame within him appeared, shining here, continuously engraving these marks.

“Master Qi, I’ve returned here again.” Shi Hao said quietly. In the past, Qi Daolin brought him here in search of opportunities and natural luck.

Shi Hao touched the cave wall with his hand, feeling a type of pressure. There was a terrifying aura that surged from this place.

Origin Stone![1]

The entire cave was polished from Origin Stone. One had to understand that this was an immortal dao supreme treasure material, rarely seen from past until now. Normal people couldn’t find it at all.

When origin was mentioned, one would often associate this with a true immortal, precisely the so-called Hunyuan True Immortal. To take this on as the name, one could see how precious it was. Origin Stone was of the same level as World Stone.

In the depths of the ancient cave was a palace, on it a pile of immortal materials, for example, Origin Stone, Heavenfault Stone, as well as Void Immortal Gold, Five Elements Immortal Gold, Everlasting Immortal God, even more so True Dragon horns, phoenix beaks, and other things, so dazzling one couldn’t open their eyes.

However, Shi Hao knew that all of this was an illusion, not real. Ninety percent of the immortal materials had been taken.

In the past, he and Qi Daolin did everything they could, and only then could they bring away a black stone at the very center. However, after appraising it, it was an ordinary object, not a supreme treasure.

When they left, they were in an extremely sorry state. A creature appeared, almost forcing them to stay behind. However, that creature seemed to not be able to walk out of the ancient cave, not chasing them out, it was only because of this that they could escape disaster.

Now, Shi Hao came back precisely for this creature.

Sure enough, after he released a strand of his aura, that slumbering creature woke up, releasing a roar.

Ao…

The voice was extremely loud, terrifying beyond compare. The entire Origin Stone cut ancient cave was trembling, moreover accompanied by seven-colored immortal radiance. A great aura surged over.

This was a human shaped creature. It was just too resplendent, flickering with seven types of radiance, its aura like a sea, terrifying beyond compare!

Shi Hao came straight for it, not withdrawing this time.

Hong!

A palm struck over, carrying seven-colored immortal radiance, extremely dazzling, arriving before Shi Hao’s eyes. He stood there, facing it with his right palm.

Dang!

A sky shaking noise sounded, resounding in all directions.

Great dao ripples quickly spread. If it wasn’t because the walls were cut from Origin Stone, nothing would have remained, everything would have collapsed, been destroyed.

This ancient cave was an immortal dao precious material to begin with, so it could support the force they released.

When the seven-colored immortal light was restrained, origin mist scattered, the two faced each other, not taking action again.

“Why have you disturbed my slumber?” On the other side, that creature spoke.

This was a metal person. Not only was its mouth and nose far from its eyes, even its hair was made of metal, its entire figure flowing with seven types of brilliance, possessing an immeasurable mighty force. One could see that it couldn’t move freely, one leg wrapped with stone, immortal mist surrounding it. It was transforming, still hasn’t completely evolved.

Shi Hao understood. This was the reason why the other party was sleeping, not leaving this place, it still hadn’t completed its evolution.

This was an innately nourished divine core, originally a piece of Seven Colored Immortal Gold, in the end gaining sentience, turning into human form. Only after endless years, was this heaven-defying creature born.

Seven Colored Immortal Gold! This was unmatched precious material to begin with, yet it actually gained sentience, this was definitely even more extraordinary.

“I didn’t deliberately disturb you, but rather feel that there are things that we must discuss, so I wish to invite you out of the mountain.” Shi Hao said.

“I will not go!” The Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man was extremely direct. However, he also felt restraining fear. This individual was too strong, giving him a powerful feeling of threat.

He actually faced him bare-handedly, could it be that his flesh was even sturdier than Immortal Gold?

“I came with good intentions.” Shi Hao calmly said. Moreover, he stared at his foot, saying, “After you leave the mountain, I promise that in a few hundred years, your transformation can be completed.”

“What did you say?” The Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man’s eyes released dazzling radiance, a bit hopeful, but also a bit in doubt, revealing a cautionary expression.

“I am now an unmatched formation master, my skill in this field greater than my fighting strength. I can establish a formation that gathers the essence of the heavens, concentrate it on your body, help you transform. After several hundred years, you can then emerge into the world.” Shi Hao said.

Moreover, he took action first, setting up a small formation. As a result, the essence energy in the cave surged, great dao laws falling, immediately becoming entirely different.

“Are you willing to trust my methods?” Shi Hao asked.

“You… what do you want from me in exchange?”

“Help me guard one area.”

…

The two began to chat, the atmosphere becoming calmer.

Shi Hao unexpectedly discovered that this was originally an immortal king dwelling, and this Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man was something enlightened by an ancient great figure, thus allowing it to take human form.

It was unknown just what age this happened. The lord of the cave went to participate in a great battle, but then never came back, the soul lamp he left behind also going out, signifying that he fell in battle.

This creature before him was extremely strong, comparable to an immortal creature.

According to normal reasoning, before his transformation was complete, there should be no way he could be this strong. The main reason was because an immortal king previously performed a magical transformation, leaving behind many great dao traces in his body, making him extremely terrifying.

If the transformation was complete, its strength would definitely be comparable to a true immortal.

“I came here before in the past.”

In the end, when everything was already properly discussed, Shi Hao said.

“It’s you!” The Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man revealed a look of surprise. He recalled that three thousand five hundred years ago, there were two individuals, one young and one old who came here.

Shi Hao produced a stone that was dark and swarthy, asking, “What is this?”

“Immortal King’s collection, something he was most fond of. It is said to be able to refine an unmatched weapon, but even after I studied it for a long time, I could never tell how it was different from an ordinary stone.” The Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man said.

Moreover, he added, “If not for the immortal king’s decree to leave it for those with fate, that I cannot harm humans, I definitely wouldn’t have allowed you all to bring it away.”

When Shi Hao heard this, he became serious, putting this stone away.

That day, under rumbling sounds, Shi Hao carried a mountain back to Imperial Court.

“Did I not see wrong?” A small dog cried out in alarm. This was but a dwelling made from Origin Stone! This was just too extravagant.

When they saw the Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man, everyone even more so felt shocked.

1. This origin is the same as the name of one of the immortal kings, Hunyuan. It means time immemorial, origin of the universe
