Chapter 1465 - Restricted Area
Shi Hao really found this a bit hard to bear. Just a chicken raised by an undead knight in the Ancient Burial Region was a True Phoenix before it lost its feathers? This was just too extravagant! He really didn’t believe this.
“If you don’t believe me, then forget it. Either way, there were rumors that the bird failed a rebirth through flames, and then great one offered it shelter. After being buried in a type of priceless Burial Earth for many years, it ultimately became a chicken that wanted around the gate.”
When he heard this, Shi Hao really wanted to roll his eyes. If this was true, then Ancient Burial Region’s history and reserves were simply unimaginable!
“Why aren’t Shutuo and Anlan digging over there? I just want to see who is more fierce!” Shi Hao grumbled.
“If someone digs into our burial region, once they truly make contact with a great one’s family, they will definitely be dealt with properly.” The female undead knight said with a stupefied expression, carrying a wave of cold intent.
“A bunch of nonsense. If there were immortal medicines living in Ancient Burial region, would they not be scared of being eroded? Moreover, not even fallen immortal trees would be willing to be cut down by another and be turned into a coffin, right? It’s completely absurd! That scarlet Heavenly Deity Tree sneered, not believing the undead knight at all.
In its opinion, long life medicines were prideful, how could they fall to that level?
“Do you think the very depths of the Ancient Burial Region is guaranteed to be overflowing with death energy?” The undead knight looked towards the Heavenly Deity Tree, and then hinted for it to carefully examine the pot in Shi Hao’s hands. “This so-called All Life Earth, is one of the most precious Burial Earths!”
It further explained, “With this type of unmatched Burial Earth, even if the immortal tree was cut down once, it could still regrow its tree body, its vitality wouldn’t be greatly damaged.”
If it was truly as it said, then it really was too shocking. There was a mysterious undead knight who turned an immortal tree’s trunk into a coffin, this really was a bit world-shocking.
“I’m starting to become a bit envious of the burial region. Is there really no way for me to go?” Shi Hao looked at the undead knight. He felt like if he couldn’t get his hands on at least one stalk of immortal medicine, he wouldn’t be able to take it.
“When did you see it?” The scarlet Heavenly Deity Tree asked.
“I’ve seen it before my sleep, because I’ve previously went there a few times.” The undead knight replied.
“How long would each sleep last?” The golden Heavenly Deity Tree asked.
“A hundred thousand years when short, countless when longer, the years endless, perhaps half a great era.” It said it like this.
Shi Hao was immediately speechless. A single sleep lasted almost forever, how was one even supposed to live? If one just slept like this, would there be any enemies left in this world?
“Is there really no way for you to bring me into Ancient Burial Region?” Shi Hao asked again, dawdling around to see if there was a way.
“It’s not like it’s completely impossible, but it will be nine deaths one life. Do you want to give it a try?” The undead knight looked blankly at him.
“This…” Shi Hao didn’t want to throw away his life. After thinking for a bit, “Can you let me take a look outside the burial region?”
On the side, the two Heavenly Deity Trees were both a bit dizzy. This youngster really was a bit too daring, right? He wanted to enter the burial region? Was he tired of living?!
“We have to leave the mountain range and head here.” The undead knight drew out a simple map on the ground.
Shi Hao’s expression became slightly rigid, taking a deep breath. He never thought that it would actually be that place!
“Go, I have to take a look!” Shi Hao nodded without hesitation. It was because the place they were headed in was precisely his target this entire time.
This was the area marked out on the beast skin diagram in Imperial Pass. It was adjacent to Divine Medicine Mountain Range, Heavenly Beast Forest, and Ancient Burial Region, a danger zone.
Shi Hao began to make his preparations. He was looking forward to this, wishing to understand the burial region, get to the bottom of its secrets.
Of course, what was more important was that he was originally going to go anyway. He was going to search for astonishing natural luck in that place recorded by the ancient beast skin.
“Are you two going to merge together?” Shi Hao asked the two Heavenly Deity Trees.
“Of course!”
Shi Hao and the undead knight watched over them. This process was extremely mysterious, the two ancient trees clashing in the void. In that instant, following rumbling noises, life aura spread outwards.
In the air, a blast of immortal mist surged intensely. One could see the two roots merging together, becoming one.
This was a true immortal tree root. After they connected, life aura flourished with increasingly powerful vitality!
Hualala!
The branches and leaves swayed, releasing hua hua noises. Strand after strand of essence energy fell like starry streams, making the life force here rich and more astonishing.
In the end, the tree body was brilliant red, golden light flickering about. The two trees merged, radiance also heading towards an equilibrium. However, this wasn’t the completion of the transformation, it was still being carried out.
They needed a large amount of time!
Chi!
The merged tree rushed into the pot, taking root in All Life Earth, absorbing life energy.
“I am going to sleep too, going to spend half a great era in self-cultivation.” The old tree said, completely copying the undead knight’s way of speaking.
Shi Hao naturally didn’t believe that it could sleep for that long, thiinking that it will wake up soon. “Recover well, after you two transform, I will find the other two Heavenly Deity Trees!”
Then, Shi Hao encountered a few foreign cultivators. He raised the sword core, directly cutting them down without mercy.
Once they encountered a Self Release Realm cultivator, black mist would inevitably surge, the undead knight moving out, wiping out these creatures.
“These people are plotting something. They not only want to kill me, they also want to catch some bigger fish. Will they end up drawing in Great Elder?” Shi Hao said to himself. Before leaving Divine Medicine Mountain Range, he was extremely worried.
It was because he saw some clues. The other side might have very well transferred out supreme beings. They were hiding outside, quietly waiting for Imperial Pass’s people to come rescue him.
Soon afterwards, he obtained concrete information. He learned from the mouth of a captive that there were definitely those types of old ancestors outside the mountain, already arranged in a world-shaking great formation.
Shi Hao was fretful. He walked back and forth, extremely uneasy. It was useless no matter how many creatures he killed in the mountains, even though Self Release Realm Cultivators continuously died, it was still hard for him to calm down.
“We have to think of a way to warn the outside world, or else if Great Elder and the others hurry over, they will be ambushed!” Shi Hao said.
He asked the undead knight if there was a way. It was because relying on Shi Hao himself, there was no way he could slaughter his way out, but right now, he really had to warn Imperial Pass.
“There is an extremely simple solution.” The undead knight’s reply was also extremely succinct.
“What should I do?” Shi Hao was surprised.
“Divine Medicine Mountain Range’s burial region below has underground veins that lead to the great desert, death energy from that battlefield absorbed here. I can use this to send a message.” The undead knight said.
Not long afterwards, in the desert, below the golden sand, large amounts of skeletal remains emerged, producing characters in the great desert. It was extremely shocking.
The undead knight’s skills were extremely strange, able to control Corpse Trees, move skeletal remains. Even from this far away, it was still just as effective.
In the great desert, the characters pieced together through skeletal remains were what Shi Hao told the undead knight to write ahead of time, using this to express what Shi Hao wanted to say to the outside world.
Shi Hao’s message was extremely simple, informing the outside world that he was doing fine, that he doesn’t need reinforcements. Right now, he was currently cooperating with an undead knight, unleashing a great massacre, making the foreign creatures suffer great casualties.
“I am preparing to bury all intruders, give the foreign side a pleasant surprise!”
Shi Hao’s message repeatedly mentioned that there were supreme beings laying in wait, that there was no need for those in the city to take risks, that they don’t have to risk losses to rescue him.
Meanwhile, what he spoke was the truth. Right now, he wasn’t in danger, there was no need for rescuing.
“En?” Shi Hao was shocked. There was a large group of people who entered, among them a few elders as well as some middle-aged people who successfully entered the mountain range.
“Are you going to enter burial region or continue killing them? These people aren’t easy to deal with, because they came with a supreme treasure!” The undead knight said.
Shi Hao was shocked. He saw a small stairway in one of the individuals’ hands. It was less than a foot long, snow-white and sparkling like jade, but was actually made of bone material.
Was this the Hundred Calamity Stairway? Shi Hao revealed a strange expression.
With this type of powerful precious artifact in hand, many of the mountain’s dangers could be avoided, allowing them to reach this place.
“We’ll ignore them for now, let them emerge and perish on their own.” Shi Hao didn’t want to clash with them head-on. This time, there were many more elders and middle-aged individuals, the supreme treasure they held was too astonishing.
Either way, there was the Blood Vine, golden bull, and other vicious beings here. If these people accidentally enter those places, they’ll definitely have to pay the price in blood.
“Let’s go!” Shi Hao said.
“Divine Medicine Mountain Range is too vast, if we are really going to go like this, walk there, it is too slow. Let’s take an underground burial vein.” The undead knight said.
Then, Shi Hao underwent a bizarre journey.
He entered the ground with the undead knight, seeing a pitch-black underground vein. There was a rusted war chariot here, after they stepped onto it, that tattered chariot directly disappeared from this place, taking them with it.
This type of spatial transport crossed who knew how many tens of thousands of li!
In an instant, Shi Hao trembled, appearing in another region’s underground vein. He was standing in the middle of many stone coffins. Then, under the undead knight’s lead, they quickly left the underground world, reaching the surface.
Shi Hao was incredibly shocked, turning around from time to time. This undead knight’s transport formation was just too strange.
“What… kind of place did we arrive in?” When he just arrived on the surface, Shi Hao immediately felt like something wasn’t right.
His entire body went numb, his mouth and tongue going dry. Then, he discovered that his body released large amounts of light, that it shone extremely brilliantly.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. There was verdant plant life in this region, as well as barren areas where grass didn’t grow, lacking all life aura, making one feel incredibly suffocated.
“Ah, where is my flesh and blood?” Shi Hao couldn’t help but scream out.
It was because he discovered that his flesh and blood had turned into light, disappearing without a trace. Right now, he was completely a skeleton.
“Meanwhile, he discovered that the undead knight on the other side also became different. The black mist disappeared, turning into pure white mist, moreover revealing its true form.
This was a young lady, one who was outrageously beautiful, difficult for him to pick a single flaw. Her skin was tender and replete, fair and sparkling. Beautiful hair scattered down, sleek and glossy.
Meanwhile, behind her were a pair of pure white wings that carried immortal energy. It was incredibly divine and holy like an aloof fairy, as if an angel descended onto this world.
“Impossible!” Shi Hao’s expression changed. Even though he never saw the undead knight’s true appearance, he knew that the wings behind it carried corroding aura.
Why did everything change now?
Of course, the most terrifying thing was his own transformation. Why did he become a skeleton?
“There is no need to be worried.” A beautiful voice sounded by his ears. It came precisely from the perfect, holy, and incomparably beautiful undead knight.
“What you see is not necessarily the truth, of course, it might very well also be the very essence. Nothing bad will happen to you.” The undead knight consoled.
This place really was strange. He felt a shiver run through his body. This type of inconceivable transformation actually happened after he entered this place!
“Was this your appearance when you were alive?” After Shi Hao calmed down a bit, he asked like this.
“I have always been alive, what do you mean when I was alive?” The young lady revealed a faint smile, beautiful and charming, completely different from before.
