Chapter 1914 - Immortal Dao Assistant
Shi Hao fulfilled his promise, establishing an exceptional great formation that gathered the natural luck of heaven and earth, nourishing this Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man, helping him complete his final transformation.
Then, Shi Hao set out on his own again.
In the past, when he sought out the body as a seed path, when Great Elder helped him cleanse his body and forge his primordial spirit, there were many preparations made.
There was one place with Evil Warding Divine Bamboo and Yellow Springs Fruits, after eating them, they could temper an unbreaking primordial spirit. Now, he was revisiting these old haunts.
There was a majestic great mountain hidden in the void, difficult to find, even harder to visit. In the past, Shi Hao needed Great Elder’s jade stone piece in order to get close.
Now, he got to the mountain peak with a single step, arriving in that golden temple constructed from natural laws; the suspended temple.
He directly walked over, entering the Void Gold bridge, stepping onto the ‘Immortal Mound’.
This was inside of a secret world, there was Evil Warding Divine Bamboo as well as Yellow Springs Fruit hidden inside. There were previously rumors stating that once these two things fully matured, they could destroy the inauspicious.
However, no one has succeeded.
Shi Hao didn’t come here for those divine goods, he already ingested them. He prepared to have some people from Imperial Court come here to temper themselves, seek opportunities.
He came for the heroic spirits!
The place where Yellow Springs Fruit grew was a place of extreme yin. There were countless war spirits buried here, Shi Hao had previously personally seen the terror of those war spirits with his own eyes.
Among them, some of the primordial spirit lights revealed in the darkness were especially brilliant, all becoming fierce and dazzling, no longer cold and sinister, carrying immortal dao auras.
These were precisely the heroic spirits of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, after falling in battle, they were buried in this mound, this place becoming their final place of rest.
Shi Hao came to invite them to fight once more!
Dark mist pervaded on the dusky Immortal Mound, but if one opened their Heavenly Eyes, they would see lumps of primordial spirits were rising and falling, lying dormant. There were just too many heroic spirits here.
There were several heroic spirits among them that were already about to achieve immortal dao, entirely golden yellow, bright and vigorous!
“Seniors, even though I am unwilling to disturb all of you, I still came, it is truly shameful. There are some words that are hard to say, yet have to be said. I wish for you all to leave the mountain, to fight once more.”
Shi Hao lowered his head. He truly felt unnatural here, uncomfortable. It was because these were heroic spirits who already fell in battle, already doing their all to protect this world in the past, and now, he had to ask them to leave the mountain again.
These spirits were created by remnant wills, produced by soul fragments.
If they died again, even the final imprints would disappear.
That was why Shi Hao felt inwardly ashamed, finding it hard to speak. However, he had no choice but to come. Now, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths faced the most dangerous period again, he was powerless to reverse the heavens alone.
In the end, he arrived before a giant stone. There was a golden talisman here that sealed this place.
An old peasant took form. He released a sigh. “Who would have thought that you really would come.”
This old peasant was a drawing on a stone wall, now gaining sentience, taking form. He knew about everything here, in the past, he even gave Shi Hao pointers.
He had previously said that when the seal was undone, the heroic spirits here could be brought out and participate in a great battle. However, this might also be a double-edged sword, what if the creatures didn’t bow down?
“Senior, you should come with me as well!” Shi Hao said to the old peasant.
Then, he activated the old and yellow talisman. With a hong sound, this place shook intensely. Hundreds of thousands to millions of heroic spirits howled, shaking the heavens above and earth below.
The Immortal Mound collapsed, earth and stone flying in all directions. The entire great earth was rising and falling, collapsing. Several million heroic spirits appeared, all of them lumps of light, in the end either turning into human figures, giant beasts, or divine birds, all different species present.
In the past, there were many immortal dao creatures who were buried here after death, that was why the heroic spirits that were born here were so powerful!
Sure enough, those golden heroic spirits, when they rushed over, carried terrifying winds, accompanied by blazing auras, truly close to immortal dao.
Of course, the most powerful one was precisely the one the old peasant told him about before, buried deep underground, always asleep.
There were actually three powerful figures that rushed into the heavens, turning into human forms. They were all true immortal dao figures.
One could imagine just how powerful they were when they were alive, even after death, their heroic spirits reached this level. Just how terrifying was this?
“It was you who woke us up?” An immortal dao heroic spirit spoke. He was entirely golden-colored, lacking a flesh body, only having a soul body.
“Yes, this younger generation carries inward shame, disturbing seniors’ rest.” Shi Hao truly felt extremely guilty.
“There is no need to blame yourself. The reason we exist is precisely for this day, to step on the battlefield once more!”
“It was precisely because we still carried remnant wills, wishing to redeem ourselves on the battlefield, and that was why we turned into heroic spirits. Our ultimate purpose is to return to the battlefield, to face the enemy, exhaust the last of our strength!”
Some of the heroic spirits were from the last great era, some even more ancient, impossible to confirm. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many immortal dao creatures who appeared!
Shi Hao never expected them to be this direct. This made his eyes turn a bit sore. He didn’t even have to explain much, these heroic spirits were already going to follow him.
“If we follow you out, we likely won’t be able to exist for a long time.” One of the heroic spirits warned.
“It is fine, once we leave, seniors will obtain blessings, able to receive the sheltering and nourishment of heaven and earth.” Shi Hao said.
He told them that Imperial Court had powerful will force that could nurture the yang energy within all of the heroic spirits, help them break free of death energy, allowing them to become more and more powerful.
Not long afterwards, heavenly winds stirred. Shi Hao brought this army of millions back, arranging them in various giant palaces within Imperial Court, placing them there just like his own image.
From then on, these heroic spirits were baptised by will force, becoming more and more vigorous.
After Shi Hao made some arrangements, he left alone again.
He headed to the Nine Heavens’ Immeasurable Heaven. In the end, he headed north, approaching that sea.
He released a sigh. In this Northern Sea, he had previously fallen into a time vortex with the Heavenly Horned Ant, seeing a white clothed empress. That woman crossed time and space to converse with him.
Unfortunately, heaven’s mysteries erased everything, he couldn’t recall the information the white clothed empress told him.
It seemed close, but it was precisely as the white clothed empress said. They were separated by time and space, one step a great era, the distance too far, some things impossible to defy the heavens.
The white clothed empress had previously gone against the flow of the great river of time, warding off an undying king, she also previously folded paper boats by the Kun Peng Nest, even taking form there before.
Shi Hao remained silent for a long time. In the end, he left.
He headed towards a forest, a forest that was submerged in the sea. In reality, there were great peaks here, in the past, the Imperishable Scripture was found precisely in the depths of this place.
He fought a great battle against He Wushuang there in the past, encountering the Immortal Smelting Pot, obtaining the Imperishable Scripture with great difficulty.
This time, it wasn’t that he wanted to head to that place, but rather to approach those giant mountains.
“This is the place!”
Shi Hao raised his head. On the massive mountains no one had ascended throughout history, there were abnormalities, things that were difficult to explain clearly.
On one of the peaks was an ancient coffin. In the past, a set of human skin fluttered down, terrifying beyond compare, suspected to be a ghost immortal.
On another giant mountain, there was a seated creature who overlooked all things below.
Now, he came again, meeting them once more.
Hong!
This time, Shi Hao didn’t hesitate, leaping out, rushing towards the peak. This was a restricted land, outsiders couldn’t approach it at all.
However, Shi Hao’s cultivation was now on an entirely different level. The restricted areas he previously couldn’t step on were now like flat land. He went up.
There was an ancient coffin that rested on a precipitous cliff.
Right now, the ancient coffin was shut, next to it was a terrifying humanoid creature, body covered in red fur, half a foot in height. Its nails were pitch-black like iron hooks, eyes closed, guarding the ancient coffin.
Aohou…
As if it sensed something, this creature covered entirely in blood-colored hair opened its eyes, releasing a loud cry. All of the mountains and cliffs trembled, the distant vast bodies of water releasing heaven overflowing great waves, scattering the clouds in the sky.
This was a creature that was like a malicious spirit, too sinister-looking. Even its face was covered in red fur. When it opened its mouth, it was extremely red, only its fangs were snow-white.
Its eyes were red, extremely frightening.
“Supreme Being Realm.” Shi Hao saw through its cultivation. Then, he nodded, a bit hopeful towards the creature in the ancient coffin.
Peng!
When the supreme being level creature threw itself over, Shi Hao’s finger descended, subduing it, preventing it from moving at all.
“Dao friend, please come out to have an audience with me.”
Kuang dang!
The ancient coffin’s lid rolled off, a set of human skin fluttering out from within. Then, it swelled, floating in the sky in the end, its vacant eye sockets flickering with cold radiance.
Then, a person stood up from within, their entire body bloody, lacking skin, this scene horrifying. That set of skin belonged to him.
“I think dao friend should still wear the immortal skin.” Shi Hao said calmly.
“I was skinned in the past, even if I wear it now, it will be difficult for me to recover.” The voice was ice-cold.
However, in the end, the set of skin and the bloody flesh still merged together. This was an elder, all of his pores releasing blood. One could imagine just how miserable his death was in the past.
“This world really has ghost immortals.” Shi Hao said with a light sigh.
“Correct!” On another mountain peak, someone replied. This was a creature with long gray hair, its eyes also a deathly gray, seated on a mountain peak.
Shi Hao noticed him a long time ago, but he ignored him.
In the past, when he passed this place, he saw that seated individual, as well as the fluttering set of human skin from this ancient coffin, suspecting that a ghost achieved immortality.
“We do not wish to be involved in mortal affairs. What did you seek us out for?”
Right at this time, on a distant peak, a woman also spoke, her face pale like snow, another ghost immortal.
“You all seem to have a bit of skill. How were you able to achieve immortality?” Shi Hao asked.
“Is there a need to tell you?” The gray-haired man spoke. Then, with a hong sound, he took action, striking at Shi Hao.
Peng!
Shi Hao directly grabbed his wrist, coldly saying, “I’ve killed a true immortal and three undying beings. Do you all wish to give me a try too?”
When these words sounded, this place became quiet. The three ghost immortals remained silent for a long time.
“Dao friend, why have you come?” The elder in the ancient coffin spoke, his age seeming the greatest.
He saw Shi Hao’s expression was indifferent, saying again, “We gained life from immortal corpses, developing consciousness, cannot be considered true immortals. However, because of this place’s unique properties, our corpses retain vitality, our strength when alive still present, that is why we can display immortal dao might.”
He was rather honest and sincere, speaking of his origins.
They were all new primordial spirits that were created. Their bodies are powerful beyond compare, equivalent to true immortals, but the primordial spirits were not that strong, to the extent where they didn’t understand any methods.
“You all have the magical force of true immortals, but lack immortal methods. I wish to ask you all to come out of the mountains, and then grant you all immortal dao scriptures, even immortal king scriptures!” Shi Hao said.
The three ghost immortals’ breathing immediately became hurried when they heard this, they were tempted.
Then, after some discussion, they agreed to leave with Shi Hao.
Shi Hao knew that the three of them would only listen to him while he was still in this world, they would feel threatened by him. Once he left, they might become a disaster.
However, he wasn’t scared because he had confidence in always subduing them.
A thousand five hundred years, it passed by slowly just like that.
Imperial Court flourished to its peak. Most of the geniuses under the sky entered Imperial Court, now already grown up, overlooking all sides.
This was especially the case when the Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man came out of seclusion, becoming someone comparable to an immortal dao figure after completing his transformation, overlooking the dark cosmos, on guard against the darkness creatures’ invasion. At the same time, he absorbed the essence of the sun, moon, and stars here, furthering his cultivation.
There were the heroic spirits as well, under the nourishment of will force, the three great immortal dao heroic spirits stabilized their dao fruits. There were some who were close to true immortal level as well, all of them now protecting Imperial Court.
The three ghost immortals also understood their roles, guarding Desolate Border’s passage.
Of course, Shi Hao’s will force incarnation always followed them, protecting everything with them.
