A cool breeze blew past. Heaven Province was quiet and still.
Shi Hao moved by himself, leaving Desolate Region and entering Heaven Region.
This was where he entered the lower realms from. He wanted to head to that life restricted region.
It was because after thinking to himself, he felt that perhaps the one who could help Ge Gu was that lord of the restricted region. That existence had previously taught true immortal level disciples, passed down all types of secret techniques.
Shi Hao felt like he might be proficient in the True Dragon Precious Technique!
Originally, he already wanted to come here, because he had made an appointment with this lord beforehand.
Moreover, he didnât have a lot of time left, also wishing to ask if the curse in his body would bring him great harm.
Before, he wasnât that worried, because when everyone, including the ruined immortal, felt like he was going to be crippled, he could sense that it wasnât that serious.
It was because at that time, the flame within his body had been silently burned, filling his blood and flesh.
However, the immortal curse was still there. That flame hadnât helped him burn all of it, some still remained.
Back then, only Five Phase Mountain knew, seeing some clues, because it was already aware beforehand that Shi Hao had a mysterious flame within him.
When Five Phase Mountain said that Shi Hao was already crippled, it was likely to play along, fool the ruined immortal.
The circumstances were dire. Apart from that ruined immortalâs true body, there was another personâs weapon, as well as a decree that threatened them, definitely also immortal dao level figures!
âIt wasnât for myself, but rather that I ran over here first for your sake, this disciple is definitely mine.â Shi Hao said to himself.
He felt like he definitely had to be on guard. Taking on this disciple was something he should do, especially something as heaven-defying as the True Dragon, which he definitely couldnât pass up.
This region was extremely barren, becoming more and more secluded and quiet.
Shi Hao arrived at the edge of the Mysterious Region. He produced that ancient jade, or else he would easily get lost here.
Heaven and earth changed, the scenes becoming hazy. The void here distorted, as if there was an ancient realm hidden between the mountains and rivers.
Hong!
Shi Hao turned into a streak of lightning, passing through the heavens, quickly rushing over. He entered the ancient land where the restricted region was.
In a flash, millions of li faded away.
In the end, Shi Hao arrived. He saw that ruined ancient land again.
The mountain was extremely short. There was a withered medicinal field, as well as a small dried-up lake, even more so ruined metal tiles, all of them resting here.
Honglong!
Suddenly, the mountains and rivers came alive. In that instant, the dried earth obtained life, water running under the small bridge, pavilions and palaces shining. This gloomy place that was originally swirling with black mist immediately became brilliant like an immortal realm.
Inside the medicinal field, a fragrance wafted about, all divine medicines, nothing of worse quality!
On the mountaintop, there were grand metal palaces, grand and majestic, incomparably divine.
Not far out, there was a lake at the foot of the mountain, as well as a thatched cottage. A white-clothed male was sitting there, complexion fine like jade, eyes bright, currently sipping on some tea.
Behind him was a male and female pair, both of them attractive.
âYou came.â
âYes, senior.â
This time, there was no tough trial. Shi Hao crossed Cosmos Lake just like that, not encountering any trouble.
âYou came earlier than I thought you would.â The white-clothed male said, lowering the teacup to look at him.
âI have things to ask senior.â Shi Hao was extremely direct.
âSpeak then.â The white-clothed manâs reply was extremely simple.
âI wish to ask for the True Dragon Precious Technique.â Shi Hao looked at him.
âI will not pass down any precious techniques. The past paths have already been proven to be incorrect. Before you, there were eight exceptional individuals who learned my methods, but they all died in the end.â The middle-aged man replied in a calm manner.
Shi Hao was stunned, he actually obtained this kind of reply.
The other party was extremely straightforward, this could be considered a rejection.
He was a bit confused. Since this is the case, what did the white-clothed man come here to do? Wasnât it to pass down an inheritance?
âI believe youâve misunderstood. I need to foster a powerful individual, preferably historyâs most powerful. However, he isnât necessarily my inheritor.â The white-clothed man said.
Shi Hao looked at him, not saying anything.
âYouâve already learned enough methods yourself, what is important isnât how many methods you grasped, but rather other things. I wish to bestow you enough tempering, produce the most powerful fighting strength!â The white-clothed man was extremely direct.
âHowever, I wish to learn the True Dragon Precious Technique.â Shi Hao muttered.
âI do not have much time left, only some ruined imprints. Each time I appear, I will become a bit more faint. I am not here to have a casual conversation, you need to grasp the opportunity.â The middle-aged man said.
Then, he added, âIâve never obtained the True Dragon Precious Technique, even if I wished to bestow it upon you, I cannot.â
Shi Hao sighed. The True Dragon Precious Technique was extraordinary after all.
âSince you came, then you should cherish this opportunity.â
The white-clothed man spoke, and then he pointed out with his hand. Shi Hao immediately rose into the air, involuntarily flying towards a mountain peak. There was a silver palace there.
There were many mountain peaks here, every one of them having a giant metal palace.
Shi Hao was sent inside this silver palace hall. The palaceâs doors immediately closed.
âEn? This is bad!â
Shi Haoâs expression immediately changed, because the Immortal Breaking Curse within his body acted out, becoming incredibly intense, wishing to corrode his entire bodyâs cultivation. It was extremely bad.
âThe tempering this time is precisely the Immortal Breaking Curse. If you make it through and can still live, not lose your cultivation, then weâll consider you passing.â The white-clothed man said.
Shi Hao was speechless.
He really didnât know what was proper to say. He wanted to curse out, swear, because he also wanted to deal with the Immortal Breaking Curse, yet in the end, it was directly triggered.
The lord of the restricted region not only didnât help him, he even activated the Immortal Breaking Curse!
âThe Immortal Breaking Curse hasnât completely erupted, I only activated a portion of it. If one wishes to become the most powerful, then you must make it through this.â The white-clothed man said.
âThis was prepared for a true immortal, yet you want me to stick it through?â Shi Hao began to panic.
âIt hasnât completely activated, just releasing a portion of its power.â The white-clothed man said calmly.
This was still enough to kill. The curse was meant for an immortal dao existence, even if it was just a bit, was still too difficult to withstand.
This was a hell-like torment. A low roar sounded from within the silver palace, the sounds terrifying, sometimes like the screams of a devil king, sometimes like the ghosts of the nine netherworlds.
This was a type of torture. Shi Hao felt as if he had fallen into the depths of hell.
The flame within his body remained dormant, extremely still, allowing the immortal curse to eat at his life force and cultivation.
âGet back here!â Shi Haoâs eyes became red. The magical force he cultivated so bitterly, all of his cultivation, how could it be cut down?
Within his body, magical force swirled crazily, blood energy surging, cultivation fluctuating between weak and strong.
Shi Hao was withstanding it. Whenever a bit of magical force disappeared, he would crazily operate several mysterious techniques, seizing it and making up for it.
For three whole days, within the silver palace, roars sounded continuously. It was like the howls of a ghost, cries of a god, truly terrifying.
In the end, the palace gates opened. Shi Haoâs hair was disheveled, staggering outwards. After three days, he became a ring skinnier, his complexion deathly pale.
âNot bad, you made it through and succeeded. I look forward to the day where you can completely resist the breakout of the Immortal Breaking Curse while still in the mortal domain!â The white-clothed man said.
Immediately afterwards, the green hills and clear waters disappeared, this place becoming cold and desolate.
On the ground was a ruined skull, snow-white like jade.
Shi Hao bowed deeply in that direction, and then he turned around to leave. The further he went, the more lightweight and free his body felt. Magical force surged, blood energy roiling. He felt as if he returned from hell back into the world of the living, his body feeling at ease, primordial spirit compact.
Shi Hao returned to Stone Village.
âSigh, I wasnât able to obtain the True Dragon Precious Technique. It seems like I can only go into the Void God Realm.â He said with a light sigh.
The golden lion rushed over, it knew where Shi Hao went. When it heard what he said, it immediately became disappointed.
âRight, did the five-colored sparrow appear?â Shi Hao asked.
The golden lion immediately gritted its teeth, shaking its head. It had wandered the great wilderness these past few days, wishing to bother the five-colored sparrow, but in the end didnât find it at all.
âBig brother, I have pretty much finished the investigations. Rain Clan have really managed to contact their ancient deity. There are some strange things involved.â Qingfeng returned.
He already more or less wrapped up the search, finding out which powers wanted to rebel, supporting the past Emperor Clan direct line of descent. This investigation wasnât all that difficult.
However, what let him apprehensive was that Rain Clanâs people really were able to communicate with a deity.
âDeity? Iâll just eat him later!â The golden lion said brazenly.
âWhatever. The five-colored sparrow even left bird poo on your nose, yet you still couldnât catch it.â There were children who spoke out.
You can beat someone, but you canât beat their face, you canât hurt oneâs pride.
When the golden lion heard this, its face immediately became dark, really wishing to roar and throw itself over.
âThereâs no rush. When I come back from the Void God Realm, Iâll pay those powers a visit, get to the bottom of things.â Shi Hao said. He wanted to see just how capable those powers were, for them to actually want to rebel against Qingfeng.
Of course, Rain Clan was also an important target of his investigations.
Shi Hao wouldnât act carelessly. He always believed that the deity that could cast its projection from a different world was definitely powerful!
He sat down in Stone Village, closing his eyes. Then, with a hong sound, his primordial spirit left his body, piercing through the heavens, entering Void God Realm!
The crimson dragon Ge Gu went with him.
Shi Hao had ten bronze pieces, he was going to exchange them for the True Dragon Precious Technique.
