Chapter 1875 - Setting Out On a Journey
The restricted region lord agreed to bring him to the dam world.
Shi Hao felt both apprehension and desire towards that place. He wanted to go there, but was also a bit worried. If it wasn’t because he didn’t have a choice, he wouldn’t be willing to go there.
“You want to bring others?” The restricted region lord frowned.
This was Shi Hao’s request, that he didn’t want to head here alone, but even wished to bring his family with him, wishing to take some people from Stone Village with him, have them follow him and comprehend the dao.
That place was extraordinary, having too many secrets. If one could truly obtain some gains from this place, it would definitely help them for the rest of their life. However, it really was extremely dangerous.
Shi Hao previously went there. Forget about other things, just the lightning abyss there was enough to make people’s eyes go red. There were lightning pools that appeared one after another. Back then, he had subdued one, bringing him tremendous benefits.
Of course, the difference between life and death was only a single thought.
After all, in this dam world, there were true immortal corpses. They were just too terrifying, a single mistake and they would die miserably there.
“You have to think things through clearly. That place isn’t some holy land, but an extremely dangerous place. It isn’t a place just anyone can obtain benefits from. If there are dangers, even your body and spirit will be destroyed.” The restricted region lord warned.
“I won’t head to the other side of the dam, I will be careful.” Shi Hao said.
The restricted region lord didn’t say anything extra, giving him time, letting him make preparations, clearly letting him choose who to bring with him.
“Mu Qing, Zhu Lin, Shi Zhong, all of you, come back!”
Shi Hao summoned them to Stone Village, calling for them to quickly return. The eight hundred disciple soldiers’ leaders had to temper themselves. He was going to let them comprehend the dao there.
Apart from this, the crimson dragon couldn’t escape either. Shi Hao then went to the higher realm to seek out the Heavenly Horned Ant, have him follow them as well.
The most dangerous land was what was suitable for powerful individuals to temper their true selves.
“Bring Cao Yusheng over as well!” Shi Hao thought for a bit, and then said this.
Cao Yusheng didn’t head into Immortal Domain, still in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths. Moreover, Shi Hao knew that he was sleeping in a certain ancient land, precisely where he dug up that little dog.
Originally, he didn’t want to disturb him, but now, he felt that letting him sleep like this was too passive. Could it be that he really had to bury himself ahead of time?
Not far out, the crimson dragon walked over while in human form, carrying a lightning pool in his hands. His head was currently lowered, revealing an expression of surprise.
There were three creatures inside, looking extremely like True Dragons. All of them were the length of chopsticks, swimming in the lightning radiance.
Lightning Spirits!
They were born in lightning tribulation, devouring electricity, swallowing thunder radiance. These were inconceivable things, their appearance extremely similar to True Dragons, vicious and powerful, not fearing heavenly punishment.
These were also some creatures he was going to bring along. There was a lightning abyss near the dam world. By releasing the three Lightning Spirits inside, it was most suitable for their growth.
After many years passed, even though the three Lightning Spirits’ cultivation was always advancing, it wasn’t as fast as they imagined. The main reason was because the environment wasn’t that good!
This thing was too precious, how many of them could appear in a single great era?
This was originally something from the long life Wang family. Back then, when he was in Desolate Border’s Emperor City, this clan plotted against Shi Hao when he was facing tribulation, releasing the Lightning Spirits. In the end, they were instead subdued by Shi Hao.
“They really are similar to my clan!” The crimson dragon said with a sigh.
It was rumored that these creatures didn’t belong to the mortal realm, that they had other origins, entering the world of mortals through heavenly punishment.
It was rumored that this might touch upon the source of True Dragons, perhaps Lightning Spirits were related to True Dragons. If the conditions allowed for it, they could turn into dragons.
In Stone Village, a butterfly fluttered about. A golden divine butterfly fluttered over from the nine dragons pulling coffin, flapping its divine wings, carrying a golden rain of light, extremely mysterious.
This was the Emperor Butterfly. During these years, it sometimes woke up and sometimes it slept. Most of the time, it remained in Stone Village, not traveling around.
The Emperor Butterfly obtained tremendous benefits, previously encountering the flesh carcass of an Immortal Dao Domain Emperor Butterfly from the last great era, obtaining its essence. The benefits were just too great.
There weren’t only inheritance imprints, there was also a gift of essence blood. How could it possibly digest all of it before? Only by sleeping and slowly extracting the essence would it be possible.
That was why it slept for a period of time, then woke up for a period of time, continuously repeating this cycle.
Now, the Emperor Butterfly was also called over by Shi Hao, it had to follow him.
Comparatively speaking, the Emperor Butterfly was still better. There was another fella that slept even more deeply, precisely the Divine Striking Stone, not showing any activity after all this time.
The main thing was that the stone materials it swallowed were too heaven-defying, for example Primal Chaos Stone, World Stone, All Methods Stone, and other things… they were all immortal materials, hard for even true immortals to obtain.
In the past, Shi Hao wasn’t stingy, letting it eat all of those greatest stone materials.
It was time. This group gathered, following Shi Hao, preparing to head to where the restricted region lord was.
Cao Yusheng looked like he didn’t completely wake up yet, his expression blurry, a bit in disbelief over the transformations that took place in the last two centuries. When he was brought out from the place of burial, he was simply stunned.
“You swept through the world, after killing five great supreme beings, you even killed a ruined immortal?” After all this time passed, he still asked from time to time, finding this hard to believe.
“Fatty, stop sleeping already. If you keep sleeping, you really are going to miss out on the final brilliance of this great era!” The Heavenly Horned Ant said.
“Exactly! Even if we know we are going to fall in battle, it’s better than dying while unconscious in your sleep!” The crimson dragon, Mu Qing, and the others all nodded their heads.
In the restricted region, broken walls were everywhere, the scene desolate and lonely. This region was too quiet.
Shi Hao, Heavenly Horned Ant, Mu Qing, and the others stood here without moving, quietly waiting to set out.
The restricted region lord didn’t say anything else, only releasing a light sigh. Within this massive restricted region, the great earth began to crack apart, rumbling with noise. A large amount of earth and stone began to break apart.
Then, formation patterns appeared one after another, interweaving like chains in the darkness, blazing and resplendent.
This was an ancient formation, resting right underneath the restricted region!
“If you are going, within a hundred years, there is no way to return. This is something you all need to think through clearly!” The restricted region lord said in a calm and indifferent manner, carrying out the final warning.
Shi Hao’s mind jumped. He needed to struggle there for a century, if they couldn’t hold on, they could only die there.
No one left, there was already no looking back a long time ago. They all felt a sense of urgency, wishing to rise up, comprehend a great dao path that belonged to themselves there.
The reason why Shi Hao had them take risks, bringing them along, was because he already saw that this world was drying up, entering a Cultivationless Age. Many people really reached the end of their path, losing the chance to achieve the dao.
He wanted to bring them there to change locations, search for a chance to achieve the dao!
Honglong!
On the ground, formation patterns interweaved like molten iron, becoming more and more intense. In the end, a loud noise was released, forming a giant formation, appearing in the void, wrapping around everyone.
Chi!
While accompanied by immortal mist and primal chaos light, the void was ripped apart, pierced through.
The Heavenly Horned Ant, Mu Qing and others were all horrified. This formation’s power was too great! Was this going to pierce through the great world? They sensed an unprecedented power.
Time began to displace, space altering, the long river of time appearing in the air. Ruined worlds rose and fell one after another, rising and falling like an ocean.
Was this real? They wondered if they were experiencing an illusion.
The restricted region lord sighed, turning into a half snow-white skull, landing on the ground. He had too many regrets, feeling melancholy.
Back then, he set out precisely from that place, his body dying and his dao disappearing in the end, only an unfading will remaining. There were too many things that were related to that dam world in the past.
Honglong!
The bodies of Shi Hao and the others all shook intensely. In the fragments of time, as the ruined universe changed, they rose into the sky, leaving the restricted region. Soon afterwards, they entered a mysterious ancient earth.
Dong!
The world collapsed, immortals crying and devils weeping, sun and moon rising and falling. Heaven and earth were being opened for the first time. During this process, they experienced just too many terrifying scenes. They reached their destination.
This place was gloomy, also quite terrifying. They all smashed into the ground, breaking the silence, making the earth shake intensely.
“We arrived, it is precisely this place!” Shi Hao said. He was sure that back then, he had come here with Sanzang and Shenming.
It was too quiet, lacking even a bit of sound. It was extremely dark, as if they arrived in the limits of the universe, saw the desolate, ruined eternal truth.
In that instant, everyone’s fine hairs stood on end. For some reason, they instinctively sensed danger, realizing that they would die here if they were even a bit careless.
Up ahead, there was a dam, extremely large and vast, resting there, blocking their line of sight.
“True immortal?!”
They had just arrived here. Apart from Shi Hao, everyone else was shocked. They saw a blurry figure hanging from the dam, the aura it released making their bodies feel like exploding.
True immortal corpse, it hung on the mysterious dam just like that, as if it crawled out from that other side.
En?
When Shi Hao focused his gaze, his body went cold. He was even more shocked than them, because many years ago, when he came with Sanzang and Shenming, this corpse wasn’t there.
They discovered some skeletal remains back then, immortal blood flowing, undying aura pervading the air, but they were scattered in other places, this one wasn’t here before.
“There was one that crawled out from the other side in the past two hundred years?” Shi Hao’s brows furrowed deeply, feeling the severity of this matter.
