Chapter 1874 - Establis.h.i.+ng Imperial Court
In the following decade, s.h.i.+ Hao studied Immortal Ancient methods, integrating present world methods, and then perfected his own method, becoming stronger and stronger.
He wanted to get rid of an issue, wis.h.i.+ng to transform the creatures who were corroded by the darkness back into their true selves.
He flipped through the Immortal Ancient scriptures, for example, the jade book he brought back from the struggle between three thousand provinces’ geniuses in Immortal Ancient Remains, studying the secrets of guardian spirits.
Apart from this, he swept through the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, obtaining a few ancient method pa.s.sages from Jin Family and Wind Clan as well.
Together with the unrivaled power he displayed now, all clans were fearful, some great clans offering up quite a few of their ancient texts.
s.h.i.+ Hao studied guardian spirits, discovering another cultivation power from Immortal Ancient’s system.
“Will force, acquired from life, able to support all life as well.”
s.h.i.+ Hao used up several decades of time to fully understand it, and then he researched it even deeper, creating some methods. He could gather the will force of the world to support himself, even protect an inheritance.
Then, the eight hundred disciples began to move, not only training troops, fighting on all fronts, cutting down the creatures of darkness who escaped the net, they also began to display will force methods.
Under the heavens, Stone Village’s disciples led the men of all clans, bringing enlightenment to the creatures of darkness, delivering all living creatures from suffering.
Dao sages roamed the world; these were the ones who focused on converting and enlightening the creatures of darkness. More and more sects joined in, trying to enlighten the creatures of darkness together, establis.h.i.+ng divine halls, daoist temples and other things in the darkness regions.
There were people a.s.signed to those places, reading scriptures, using great divine methods, propagating teachings, declaring the truth, wis.h.i.+ng for the creatures of darkness to wake up.
This was effective. Even though they couldn’t immediately forcefully alter those creatures’ thoughts, as it continued, what they knew was gradually toppled.
Eventually, the great sects went to great lengths, after years and years of teachings, everything developed in a better direction. A part of the creatures of darkness began to believe. They were previously corroded, another side of historical truth revealed.
During this process, some divine hall and, daoist temples rose up one after another. These clans discovered the benefits of gathering will force.
“It can make us become stronger!”
“This old one’s blood energy is dried up, my lifespan originally not having much left, but i could actually borrow this to live another period of time!”
It wasn’t only the darkness regions where divine halls and daoist temples were established, even other regions began to realize this.
Among them, what none of them could get around was Huang. It was continuously becoming more and more perfect, this will force great method and other things were all pa.s.sed around from him.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t need this method. In his eyes, it was still an external power. The path he walked was his own great dao path, body as the seed, not borrowing external goods.
However, even though he didn’t touch it himself, will force still poured over, forming an undying divine ring around his body.
The reason why the various great inheritances couldn’t get around Huang was because will power always involved the source. A large portion of the will force would always supply the source.
This was quite strange, the one who established this actually had this type of tremendous advantage.
Apart from this, Stone Village’s soldiers personally sensed the benefits of will force. When they moved through the world, they established many divine halls and daoist temples.
In those palaces, there was only one figure consecrated. His appearance was quite similar to s.h.i.+ Hao, and his name was precisely Huang.
Mu Qing, Zhu Lin, and others weren’t ordinary individuals. As they consulted history, they discovered that the guardian spirits of the last great era really weren’t simple. After gathering the will force under the heavens, they obtained inconceivable divine might.
They weren’t willing to research the source, but they knew the benefits of doing this, which was why they didn’t hesitate to establish the divine halls and daoist temples at all, consecrating s.h.i.+ Hao’s golden body statue inside.
Moreover, they sought out various sects, instructing them that when they gathered will force, built giant palaces, they all had to place s.h.i.+ Hao’s golden statue at the centermost position.
“Big brother, we should also set up our own inheritance. There are so many of them in the world, while our reputation has already shaken the world. It is time for us to establish a sect!” Mu Qing suggested.
They were an extremely powerful force now, unstoppable, but being called Stone Villagers didn’t seem quite right.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t really care too much about this, his thoughts weren’t on this matter. He only wished to become stronger, because he knew that all inheritances needed exceptional military force at the root!
What he was going to face were the most powerful creatures. He didn’t have any enemies left in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, he was no longer concerned with this place.
However, s.h.i.+ Hao wasn’t opposed to it either, letting Mu Qing, Zhu Lin, and the others handle this matter. It was because in order to foster this group of people, let them become strong, he shouldn’t restrict them.
If a truly effective organization was completed and matured, it was indeed acceptable.
“Why don’t we just call it Imperial Court!” After they discussed it among themselves, everyone made this decision.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t say anything, tacitly accepting this.
The Heavenly Horned Ant immersed itself in bitter cultivation. s.h.i.+ Hao was now alone, feeling more and more lonely. He could no longer see many people from the past.
After a sigh, s.h.i.+ Hao came out of his seclusion, roaming the higher realms alone.
This was also a type of cultivation. He wanted to roam the world, experience some things in the mortal world, temporarily forgetting about cultivation.
Several years later, when s.h.i.+ Hao walked through the land of darkness, he discovered an extremely strong creature. He wanted to kill it, but in the end, he was shocked.
When they met again, it was actually this scene. That person didn’t recognize him at all, because he fell into darkness.
Mo Shang was a lower realms Ocean Clan heaven warping genius, someone who fought a great battle against s.h.i.+ Hao in the Kun Peng nest, competing over natural luck. He ultimately entered the higher realms.
After all these years, he didn’t see him again. s.h.i.+ Hao never expected him to have turned into a darkness creature.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t deal the killing blow. Even though they stood against each other, they were still old acquaintances. He personally went out of his way, handing it to Mu Qing and the others.
“After two hundred years pa.s.sed, I cannot turn around. Many things from the past will not return.” s.h.i.+ Hao said quietly. Then, he continued on his path.
Several decades later, in a giant city, he unexpectedly discovered a pair of young ladies. They were quite beautiful, looked quite familiar, giving him a strange feeling.
Those ladies also looked at him, their appearances actually exactly the same, twins. They revealed shock, excitement, regret, dejection, and complicated emotions.
“You two recognize me?”
“Now, many daoist temples and divine halls have your golden figure. Even though it’s blurry, it’s still recognizable.”
“You are Huang, also called s.h.i.+ Hao, from the lower realms’ Stone Village, right?!”
The two ladies didn’t only recognize him from the statue.
s.h.i.+ Hao thought for a bit, and then he couldn’t help but laugh. After all these years, the various sects all had his portrait, being recognized wasn’t all that strange.
However, why did these two’s expressions seem that complicated?
s.h.i.+ Hao thought for a bit. Of the twins he met in his life, only the pair he met when he was young left the deepest impression. That was when he was still in Stone Village, they came from the great wasteland’s Cloud Heaven Palace.
At that time, the mountain treasure appeared, drawing all of the surrounding powers over, searching around Stone Village.
Those little girls previously followed their grandfather, hitting it off with s.h.i.+ Hao. They even talked about which types of beast milk were the most delicious.
In the end, during the lower realms’ great chaos, Cloud Heaven Palace’s people borrowed an ancient formation to enter the higher realm, thus severing their connection. They never met again after that.
“It’s you two!” s.h.i.+ Hao’s divine senses were sharp, able to instantly restore their younger selves through their bone structures and flesh. He discovered that it really was them with shock.
This really was a small world. After so many years, they could actually meet again.
“It really was you, the little child who drank beast milk…”
The two sisters laughed, recalling the events of the past.
They really found it hard to believe that child from back then actually grew to this extent.
However, they knew that there shouldn’t be any mistake. After all these years, they always heard miraculous stories about Huang, knowing his background.
They began to speak about their experiences during these years.
s.h.i.+ Hao chatted with them for a long time, staying in this city for several days. He helped them with some questions regarding their cultivation, chatted about old things, both sides deeply moved.
“Will we be able to meet again?” When they separated, the two sisters were a bit reluctant.
“If there is karma, we will meet again.” s.h.i.+ Hao smiled, waving goodbye.
He left the secular world step by step. He even felt that his actions these past few years were done under an almost instinctive urging, to settle things with this world’s people and matters, to bid his farewell.
s.h.i.+ Hao returned to the lower realms, challenging his own limits with the help of the restricted region lord.
The darkness blood had long been nurtured, there was even a set of flesh that was identical to his own in this restricted region, within it some ultra evolution blood formed from the seed of darkness.
Hong!
s.h.i.+ Hao fought against himself here. He separated a portion of primordial spirit, entering that darkness body, gradually corroding himself.
This was a type of life and death challenge. If he lost, then he would fall into darkness.
For several decades, s.h.i.+ Hao roared, fighting endlessly. It was too dangerous, even the lord of the restricted region didn’t dare let him go all the way.
He succeeded during the first phase, resisting the darkness’ corrosion.
However, everything stopped. The restricted region lord destroyed the body and the ultra evolution blood, not letting him get involved completely.
“Enough, even if it’s death, it will have to be in the future battlefield. This type of testing is too dangerous, basically asking for death. We cannot continue with it.” The restricted region lord said.
Now, s.h.i.+ Hao had cultivated up to three hundred years.
In this world, it was hard to find conditions to temper himself. The ruined immortal didn’t come out, going into hiding, there was nothing he could do either.
“Senior, I want to head to the dam world!” s.h.i.+ Hao said. He felt like he could now set out, the various aspects had all matured.
“Fine!” The restricted region lord nodded, agreeing.
