Chapter 273: Breaking Records! Defeating the Stone Clan's Stronghold, the Double Pupil's Challenge!
Chapter 273: Breaking Records! Defeating the Stone Clan's Stronghold, the Double Pupil's Challenge! (Part 1)
"Why is it this infuriating child again? Does he think he can defy the heavens? Breaking two records in a single day is already astonishing, although he is very powerful, but there's no need to be so arrogant. He actually wants to break the Double Pupil's record?"
"Let's wait and see if he can succeed. So many geniuses have failed, including princes of ancient countries and the most outstanding heirs of the Divine Realm. If this brash child can truly succeed, it will be a shock to the world."
People were discussing animatedly. Eventually, all the mischief the little rascal had caused in the Starting Ground was exposed.
"I heard he's quite eccentric. He even extorted the Four Great Clans and took away four jars of Treasure Blood."
The unfortunate Four Great Clans, hearing the crowd's chatter, felt their hearts dripping with blood. The news had spread so far, leaving them utterly humiliated and on the verge of madness.
At this moment, not only the Ethereal Realm but also the Northeast Region of the Immortal Martial Continent was in an uproar.
Especially within the Stone Clan and the Rain Clan.
"Who is this little rascal? Which power is backing him? He seems extraordinary!"
"Do you think he might be the direct descendant of a Ninth Stage expert? To showcase himself and pursue the Great Dao, he might even want to suppress the Double Pupil, so he's breaking the Double Pupil's records in the Ethereal Realm as practice."
The Stone Clan was formidable!
Although they were of the same clan, the majority of the clan members were unaware of Shi Hao's true identity.
After all, Shi Hao was on the verge of death back then, and most of the clan members assumed he had already perished. Naturally, they wouldn't guess that the notorious little rascal in the Ethereal Realm was Shi Hao!
Only a small number of people knew that Shi Hao was still alive.
But even they didn't dare to speak up.
In the vast Northeast Region, Shi Qi's name was as prominent as the sun at noon. Although he hadn't reached adulthood yet, his fame had spread throughout the Northeast Region and even the entire Immortal Martial Continent. He was one of the top three contenders for the title of the most outstanding among the three supreme heavenly geniuses of the Golden Age in Central State.
At this moment, in the Purelands of various Immortal Ancient Clans, Sects, and Great Sects, countless people were paying attention to this matter, and the younger generation was even more excited.
"Senior Brother, quickly come out of seclusion and enter the Ethereal Realm. Something big is happening!"
"Why?"
"Someone is challenging the Double Pupil's records, and they've already broken two of them!"
"Whoosh! Who is it? Could it be that some freak from the Holy Land has appeared?"
"I don't know who exactly, but I know it's a little rascal, and he's not ordinary!"
At this moment, all the geniuses were shocked and quickly entered the Ethereal Realm.
Shi Hao was unaware that his adventures in the Ethereal Realm and his desire to challenge and break Shi Qi's records had already caused a huge stir.
It was more astonishing than a tsunami! Both the Ethereal Realm and the Immortal Martial Continent were in a state of unrest.
Especially in the Northeast Region, even some of the older generation's Great Powers and the Great Sects' Masters were alerted, appearing in the Ethereal Realm to observe this matter.
This caused a series of exclamations.
...
In the Starting Ground of the Ethereal Realm, Shi Hao walked with a light step, steady as if nothing was happening.
However, he was a bit dazed.
Why did so many people follow him? He was just breaking a few records; was it necessary to have such a crowd? He was still young, and his focus was different. Although he knew Shi Qi was famous, especially in the Ethereal Realm, he didn't expect it to cause such a huge commotion.
Could it be that his 'little brother's' fame was already enough to shock the world?
"Hey, kid, can you hurry up?"
Someone was anxious, urging him.
"Why the rush? The emperor isn't in a hurry, but the eunuch is!"
Shi Hao muttered the words he had heard from his Master, irritating the person.
"If it weren't for the fact that no one dared to break Shi Qi's records, and you broke two records in a single day, and even extorted the Four Great Clans, I wouldn't have come."
"Yes, I also heard that such an infuriating child has appeared, so I came specially. Kid, don't let us down, and create a miracle!"
"You're the infuriating one! What's wrong with me? It's just a regular record, and you're infuriated?" Shi Hao was dissatisfied.
"Moreover, I'm the one breaking the records. If I can break it, I will. If I can't, you can just watch. Why the rush?"
His calmness and composure left the crowd a bit flustered. Was this child really going to break the record? Why wasn't he excited at all? He was too calm.
Those were Shi Qi's records!
And he was acting like it was no big deal?
Too much!
They urged him, but Shi Hao remained unhurried, strolling leisurely like sightseeing.
Whenever he discovered something 'interesting,' he would run over to try and 'snatch' it, leaving the crowd anxious.
Finally arriving at their destination, a mountain range stood tall, exuding an extraordinary aura. Rivers and lakes converged, and the clear waves stretched for thousands of miles, as transparent as the sky. With a glance, one could clearly see the fish and shrimp playing in the water.
Behind, a waterfall roared, its sound like thunder, as if the Milky Way was falling from the Nine Heavens.
Numerous beasts raged in the mountains, and astonishing figures darted about, their roars shaking the sky, one after another.
"This is the mountain!"
An elder's eyes burned, his beard and hair trembling as he pointed to the mountain ahead, "I was fortunate to witness that scene! The Double Pupil, Shi Qi, merely stomped his foot, and he soared into the sky, landing on the mountain peak!"
"This was a miracle!"
"You must know, back then, there were many older generation Great Powers, and even some Great Sects' Masters, but none could achieve this!"
"Shi Qi has surpassed many ancient sages!"
"The Double Pupil has never been defeated; it's not an empty boast. Little rascal, do you know who you're up against?!"
The Starting Ground has restrictions!
What does 'Starting' mean?
It refers to the beginning of the cultivation path!
Therefore, in the Starting Ground, everyone's cultivation will be suppressed to the First Stage.
In the First Stage...one can't use Spirit Energy at all and can only rely on physical strength to challenge and create records! Back then, Shi Qi relied on his physical strength to leap into the sky and enter the Nine Heavens! In the end, he landed steadily on the mountain peak, an extraordinary feat.
The mountain stood tall and majestic, soaring over two thousand zhang in height, its peak shrouded in lush vegetation.
At the summit, mist rose from the water, and a waterfall cascaded down, creating a hazy mist. Under the sun's rays, a rainbow spanned the sky, its vibrant colors resembling a true phoenix soaring through the heavens.
"Little one, are you ready?" someone couldn't help but urge.
"Ready?"
Shi Hao shook his head, puzzled. "Do I really need to prepare for this?"
"Isn't it just a matter of taking a leap?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present had strange expressions.
"Could this be a false message? Can he really break the record?"
This kid is too arrogant! And he's so bold!
Is he here to break the record? It feels like he's just playing around.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already broken the record twice before, no one would believe him.
Lin Fan watched this scene from a distance, a slight smile curving his lips.
"This is the young Huan Tian Di."
"He's so bold, so carefree, and a real troublemaker."
"But, he's also one who can make everyone gasp in awe and astonish countless worlds with his antics."
Lin Fan murmured, "Go for it."
"Leave behind your legend."
He felt both relieved and expectant.
Just at that moment, a divine light tore through the sky in the distance, and a massive flying carpet sped towards them, carrying a group of people.
"Wow, which power is this? Daring to flaunt such a magical artifact in the Ethereal Realm, aren't they afraid of losing it?" someone muttered.
Ordinary magical artifacts rarely manifest in the Ethereal Realm. Only a few special treasures can achieve this, but once taken, they cause the artifacts in the real world to gradually lose their divine energy. Even if they don't become useless, they will suffer severe damage.
The Dao Principle flashed!
The flying carpet quickly arrived nearby, and everyone finally got a clear view. Standing on it were over a dozen beautiful women, each with exquisite features and figures, dressed in white, like a group of female immortals descending upon the mortal realm.
"This... looking at the emblem on their clothing, it's not one of the major sects in our Northeast Domain, is it?"
"Hiss! Central State's Heaven Mending Pavilion!"
"Is it really someone from Heaven Mending Pavilion and their followers? They've even come here?"
"It's indeed the emblem of Heaven Mending Pavilion. It's said that the Ethereal Realm in Central State is the fastest to set up, so it's not surprising that they're here. But for this matter... this little guy has really stirred up trouble."
Someone recognized their identity, shocked beyond words, their scalp tingling.
More and more people arrived, and the identities of the later arrivals were even more intimidating, filling up the entire mountain area.
"I don't believe anyone can break the record of our clan brother. Double Pupil is invincible! This is just a show for the crowd!" In the crowd, several young men stood together, cold and aloof, their gazes fixed on Shi Hao.
They were all proud members of the Stone Clan, and some had even fought Shi Qi before, but all had suffered crushing defeats, some even being defeated instantly. Not a single one could force Shi Qi to reveal his Double Pupil, so they didn't believe Shi Hao could do it!
He's just a troublemaker. If he can break Shi Qi's record, how will they face themselves?
"Is this the child? What background does he have to dare break Qi'er's record?"
In the distance, on the peak of a mountain, over ten people gathered, both old and young, their faces cold. They were all members of the Stone Clan, here to observe.
"We can't find out his background. Today seems to be his first time entering the Ethereal Realm."
"Inform the clan! We must find out this person's identity!"
The crowd chatted excitedly.
Shi Hao rolled his eyes at them.
"You're too noisy!"
"Quiet!"
The crowd stirred, then fell silent.
Shi Hao, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction, then looked towards another mountain.
The two mountains were not significantly different in height, but the one Shi Qi had climbed was indeed several dozen zhang taller.
"It's your turn!"
The height of this mountain was indeed impressive, and leaping to its summit with a single bound was an astonishing feat. Only a few on the entire Immortal Martial Continent could accomplish this.
But...
He himself was not among them!
The Initial Ground suppressed one's cultivation to the First Stage.
His cultivation was not part of the traditional immortal cultivation system. The First Stage was not the Opening Profound Gate, but the Blood Transfer Realm.
Moreover, under the guidance of his Master, he had reached the Extreme Realm, surpassed it, and even achieved transcendence within the Extreme Realm!
Just because others couldn't do it didn't mean he couldn't either.
He took a deep breath, then looked at the onlookers nearby, kindly reminding them, "You should probably move back a bit."
"At a distance of one zhang from you, can you still not stretch your legs and jump?"
"..."
"Don't blame me for not warning you."
Shi Hao's body crouched slightly, like a tightly drawn divine bow.
The scene instantly became completely silent.
Everyone was watching with rapt attention.
Finally, Shi Hao completed his preparation.
"Go... up!"
Boom!
The divine bow 'released'.
Shi Hao soared into the sky, straight up into the heavens.
Boom!
At the same time, the earth shook violently. The ground where he had been standing shattered instantly, rocks flying in all directions, like a bomb exploding! The surrounding onlookers didn't have time to react before they were hit by the flying rocks, disappearing into the Ethereal Realm as streaks of light...
They... had been silenced!
All those nearby were suppressed to the First Stage, and at such close range, they were instantly defeated.
"What?!"
Those farther away watched in shock, their clothes to change into."
And this was just the beginning!
After the explosion, an 'earthquake' followed! The ground, once the hardest of rocks, now cracked and shattered, with massive cracks spreading like lightning in all directions, smoke and dust rising into the sky.
Everyone nearby was knocked down, their faces covered in dirt and grime, an extremely embarrassing situation.
This was a bit too much!
"Is he still human?!"
"Could he really be about to break the record?"
Shocked, they quickly looked up.
At this moment, Shi Hao resembled a young immortal, soaring into the sky, breaking through the clouds and mist, and rising straight up!
Everyone was stunned. Shi Hao, relying solely on his physical strength, charged straight into the sky, piercing through the cloud layer, and surpassing the towering mountain!
He even rose nearly a hundred zhang higher than the mountain before finally running out of strength and steadily landing on the mountaintop!
"He broke it! He broke the record!" someone shouted.
Boom!
A divine tablet fell from the void and landed on the mountaintop, right in front of Shi Hao.
On the tablet, there were ten names.
Shi Qi's name was at the top, in the first place!
But at this moment, the tablet became blurry, and then, a somewhat comical name forcefully 'killed' its way to the top.
Most loves to drink beast milk!
The Ethereal Divine Realm certification, Shi Qi's record was broken! Almost everyone was in an uproar.
The onlooking cultivators rushed around, spreading the news, filled with shock.
The Stone Clan and Rain Clan members were dumbfounded and incredulous, especially the young talents who looked like they had seen a ghost: "This is impossible!"
"How could a clueless bear child possibly be stronger than a Double Pupil cultivator?!"
Some refused to accept this, and angrily said, "He can't be stronger than a Double Pupil cultivator. The reason he broke the record was probably because the Double Pupil cultivator didn't go all out. He just casually broke the record. But he went all out!"
But...
This explanation didn't hold much weight.
After all, after Shi Qi, many old and powerful cultivators, and even the masters of great sects, had tried to break the record, but none succeeded. Now that Shi Hao could break it, it was enough to prove the point!
The news spread like wildfire.
Many great sects, sects, and clan members rushed to the mountaintop, surrounding Shi Hao, each vying for his attention.
"Little brother, with your exceptional talent, are you interested in joining my sect to cultivate?"
"What's the Pointless Wind Sect? Little brother, join my Green Water Pavilion, and I'll guide you on the path to immortality!"
"Is Green Water Pavilion that strong? It's just a second-rate sect, and they dare to be so arrogant? Come to my War King Clan! In the entire Northeast Domain, who dares to be so bold in front of my clan?"
"..."
The competition for talent!
This scene made many people's scalps go numb, feeling incredulous.
Especially the wandering cultivators and 'sect disciples'.
They were well aware of how difficult it was to join a sect.
Those with average talent, in particular, would beg their ancestors for a chance, and even then, second-rate sects and the War King Clan were beyond their wildest dreams.
But now, they were so eager, so proactive, and willing to lower themselves to beg this bear child to join!
What a gap in talent...
But after a second thought, they calmed down.
Damn right!
He broke the record of a Double Pupil cultivator, and he's so young. As long as he doesn't meet an untimely end and receives proper cultivation, even if he doesn't surpass the Double Pupil cultivator, he will still become a Worldly Talent, capable of protecting these great sects and ancient clans for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!
But...
Just as they were barely calming down, they suddenly saw a group of beautiful women approaching gracefully.
Wherever they passed, everyone automatically made way, allowing them to reach Shi Hao directly.
"Little guy."
The leading woman smiled lightly, "Are you interested in joining my Heaven Mending Pavilion?"
"With your talent, you can become a Sequence Disciple in my Heaven Mending Pavilion."
Boom!
The crowd exploded.
Heaven Mending Pavilion!!!
That's one of the Central State Holy Lands!!!
The Central State Holy Lands, also known as the Holy Land among Holy Lands.
Any Holy Land in the Central State, in terms of strength and heritage, surpasses the Eight Holy Lands of the Eight Domains!
How strict are they in accepting disciples?!!!
Even the children of great clans, if they manage to become inner disciples, would have reason to boast for a long time, and the whole world would celebrate.
Talented individuals?
The Holy Lands are already filled with them.
But at this moment, Heaven Mending Pavilion, a Holy Land among Holy Lands, proactively came to invite him, and even offered a Sequence Disciple position?!
Damn it!
The comparison is killing them!
In an instant, their eyes turned red.
They couldn't wait to kick Shi Hao away and take his place.
However, Shi Hao glanced at the members of Heaven Mending Pavilion without haste, and then his gaze fell on the leader: "I'm not interested in Heaven Mending Pavilion."
"But you're not bad."
He pouted, "Grandpa said that well-raised, big-bottomed girls make good wives."
"How about it? Will you be my wife?"
The crowd was stunned.
What the heck...
Is he flirting with the Heaven Mending Pavilion's talented woman?
The leader of Heaven Mending Pavilion's mouth twitched.
"How dare you!!!"
The others behind her were furious, "How dare you speak such nonsense and insult our sect's Holy Maiden?!"
"Calm down."
But the Holy Maiden gently waved her hand, "If you can become the number one in this generation and surpass the Double Pupil cultivator, what's wrong with me being your wife?"
"That's true love!"
Shi Hao didn't care about the others' scolding. At this moment, his eyes shone, and he said, "You must have been well-raised. After I defeat Shi Qi in the future, I'll come and knock you out and carry you home!"
Even with the Holy Maiden's exceptional composure, she couldn't help but feel her face twitching.
She almost couldn't hold it in!
What the hell, he's going to knock me out and carry me home?
Even if you say you'll bring me home with a grand gift and marry me properly, I wouldn't agree, but what's this about knocking me out and carrying me home? Is this a hunting trip?
Am I being treated as prey?
The others were almost fainting.
"Damn, he's really bold!"
"He's fearless!
