Chapter 471: Shi Hao, Shi Qi, and Qin Hao! The Supreme Dao Ground! (Part 1)
November 6th, 2024
The Supreme Dao Ground?
Shi Hao slowed down and listened intently.
"Yes, if one could join the Supreme Dao Ground, tsk, their name would be on the Celestial Prodigy Rankings!"
"That's right, if someone is qualified to join the Supreme Dao Ground, how could they not have the qualifications to be on the Celestial Prodigy Rankings?"
"That's true, if not a Celestial Prodigy, how could they possibly join the Supreme Dao Ground?"
"It's a pity that the Supreme Dao Ground only accepts one disciple each generation; otherwise, I'd really like to give it a try."
"With our talents, let's not go and make a fool of ourselves. When the time comes for them to take in disciples, we can just go and watch the excitement."
"That's right, haha!"
"Moreover, I heard that the recently renowned Double Pupil Practitioner will also be going there, seeking to join the Supreme Dao Ground!"
"Double Pupil Practitioner?!"
"Hiss!!!"
"You've been talking so much, but where is the Supreme Dao Ground accepting disciples this time?"
"Isn't it in our Clear Wind Continent? Otherwise, why would so many people come to the Clear Wind Continent recently?"
"However, they're just here to join in the excitement. With the Double Pupil Practitioner present, I'm afraid even the top disciples of the major sects won't be able to compete."
"We're just here to join in the fun. With such a fierce competition, how could we miss it?"
"..."
Shi Hao was astonished.
The Supreme Dao Ground.
Only one disciple is accepted each generation.
Coincidentally, in the Clear Wind Continent?
And there's even a Double Pupil Practitioner?
This...
It's worth going to join in the excitement.
At that time, there will undoubtedly be a large crowd.
Shi Hao has always enjoyed joining in the excitement.
His interest piqued, and he immediately began inquiring about related information and headed towards the location where the Supreme Dao Ground was accepting disciples.
Along the way...
He encountered a cute rabbit, a chubby boy named Cao, and a young man with a bow.
They shared a common interest.
Shi Hao roasted some meat, thoroughly impressing them.
After that, they became friends and traveled together.
...
The Supreme Dao Ground was extremely mysterious, with a long heritage.
This was a 'Sect', but it didn't have a fixed 'Mountain Gate'. It had a Dao Ground that could move, and it was in the hands of the masters of the Supreme Dao Ground throughout the generations.
Therefore, each time they took in disciples, the time and location were not fixed.
This time, they were accepting disciples in the Clear Wind Continent, at the Thunderfall Stone Forest.
The Thunderfall Stone Forest was a rather special place.
For some reason, the sky above was covered by thick thunderclouds, and there were frequent thunderbolts falling, shattering the ground below.
It was said that this place used to be a plateau.
But after being struck by countless years of thunder and lightning, it had now turned into a stone forest.
This place was quite dangerous.
Although it wasn't a restricted area for living beings, it was quite dangerous for those below the True Immortal cultivation level.
People guessed that this was the first test set by the master of the Supreme Dao Ground for those seeking to join.
If one didn't dare to enter the Thunderfall Stone Forest or couldn't withstand the falling thunderbolts...
What qualifications would they have to enter the Supreme Dao Ground?
Most people agreed with this speculation.
When Shi Hao and the others arrived near the Thunderfall Stone Forest, there were already many people gathered around.
Most of them were 'young' within a hundred years old.
Emm...
In the Immortal World, those within a hundred years old could indeed be called youngsters.
After all, ordinary people could live for several hundred years, so being a hundred years old was indeed their youth.
Cultivators were even more so.
And these people were not weak in strength.
Even those who came purely to watch the excitement had at least the Seventh Realm cultivation level.
In the Lower World, they could be called Great Powers.
It's not that the Upper World is so heaven-defying, with Seventh Realm cultivators everywhere, but that the Upper World is vast, with many dangers. Below the Seventh Realm...
One might not even have the qualifications to travel far.
It could also be described as a survivor bias.
Those below the Seventh Realm couldn't reach this place, so they wouldn't be seen here, giving the impression that even the weakest in the Immortal World had reached the Seventh Realm.
Of course, it's undeniable that the Immortal World is vast, with a large population and better conditions, so the number of Seventh Realm cultivators is indeed astonishing, and the proportion is much higher than in the Lower World.
"Wow!"
"So lively!"
The little rabbit was in the form of a girl, with bright red eyes, and was extremely cute.
Cao, the fat boy, looked around and shook his head: "This is because the Supreme Dao Ground is accepting disciples, so naturally, there are many people, but most of them are here to watch the excitement."
"What about you? Do you want to join the Supreme Dao Ground or just watch the excitement?"
The bow-wielding youth smiled lightly: "I'll do my best?"
"If I can join the Supreme Dao Ground, it would be even better."
"If I can't join, it's still a rare opportunity for training."
"Shi Hao, what about you?"
All three of them looked at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao scratched his head: "I have a master."
"My master is very good."
"So what?" Cao, the fat boy, criticized: "Do you know what kind of existence the Supreme Dao Ground is? Being able to join the Supreme Dao Ground is something countless cultivators dream of."
"Haven't you heard? Even the Double Pupil Practitioner is coming!"
"That's the Double Pupil Practitioner, known as an invincible existence!"
"Moreover, the Supreme Dao Ground doesn't reject you having a master. In other words, you can join even if you have a master, there's no conflict, as long as you don't harm the interests of the Supreme Dao Ground or betray them."
Shi Hao scratched his head again.
The Double Pupil Practitioner...
Is he very powerful?
It's not like he hasn't defeated one before.
"Then, why don't I give it a try?"
"You must try!"
Cao, the fat boy, hugged Shi Hao's neck: "Don't look at Long Bow, that kid who always has a stern face, as if he's very powerful. But I think you're the most promising one among us."
"We're good brothers now."
"If you can join the Supreme Dao Ground, remember to take me with you!"
The bow-wielding youth was speechless: "I'm still here, and I can hear what you're saying."
"So what if you can hear it? I've always had more faith in Shi Hao." Cao, the fat boy, didn't care.
This made the bow-wielding youth angry.
The little rabbit tilted her head and smiled, watching them bicker, feeling very happy.
This is what friends are for~!
They were chatting idly.
But the place wasn't as peaceful as it seemed.
Some preferred to keep a low profile, while others were more flamboyant.
Some wanted to avoid trouble, but there were those who craved attention, itching for a fight.
As a result...
There were actually many others fighting in the vicinity.
However, Shi Hao and his three companions couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.
They continued their idle chat and enjoyed the spectacle, with Cao Pangzi's chatty mouth providing real-time commentary, much to the amusement of the others.
Suddenly~!
Someone exclaimed, "The Double Pupil Practitioner is here!"
"Double Pupil Practitioner?!"
"Where is he?!"
This exclamation caught the attention of everyone around.
They all turned to look.
Shi Hao and his companions followed their gaze.
"Is that the Double Pupil Practitioner? His eyes are terrifying," Little Rabbit felt his scalp tingle.
Chang Gong's expression grew more solemn, "Such a powerful oppressive aura."
"Damn."
Cao Pangzi was shocked, "This Double Pupil Practitioner looks so formidable. Chang Gong, Shi Hao, can you handle him?"
"Er..."
"I mean, don't feel too pressured."
"No matter what, we're still good friends."
"Even if we can't enter the Supreme Dao Ground, there will be other opportunities."
Apparently, upon seeing the Double Pupil Practitioner, Cao Pangzi believed his two brothers were doomed.
The Double Pupil Practitioner stood eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance. He wore a white robe that shone brighter than snow. At this moment, he was walking on air, and with each step, it seemed like the Dao itself was resonating with him! His double pupils were dazzling and radiant.
Whoever those two pupils looked at, their heart would skip a beat.
"..."
"It's... him?!"
Shi Hao was taken aback.
"He's still alive?!"
He was puzzled.
He had assumed that the Double Pupil Practitioner mentioned by the Upper Worlders was a native of the Upper World.
After all, with the vastness of the Three Thousand Continents in the Upper World, the appearance of a Double Pupil Practitioner wasn't uncommon.
But now, upon seeing him, they realized that the Double Pupil Practitioner they had heard about was... Shi Qi?!
Shi Hao furrowed his brows slightly.
"What do you mean, he's still alive?" Cao Pangzi, with his sharp ears, overheard this and immediately lowered his voice, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful he hears you."
"Damn, he's coming this way."
"It's over, he's looking at you!!!"
Cao Pangzi's face paled.
Little Rabbit was even more nervous, but he gritted his teeth and stood by Shi Hao's side, refusing to run away.
Chang Gong reached behind and touched one of his arrows, ready to act at any moment.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the Double Pupil Practitioner, Shi Qi, came to a stop.
He looked down at Shi Hao from above, their gazes locking.
"Double Pupil Practitioner..."
Cao Pangzi, with a stiff expression, said, "My brother is young and naive, please don't take offense, after all, a gentleman is always generous..."
However, Shi Qi didn't even acknowledge him. He spoke slowly, "My dear brother, you've already ascended."
Shi Hao's expression remained calm, "Did that disappoint you, my dear brother?"
"On the contrary, I'm surprised you didn't die under the Divine Needle, considering the consequences of your actions."
"No, no, no. I saw your talent with my own eyes. Your ascension doesn't surprise or disappoint me because, in the end, you will fall to my hands. Only I can defeat you!"
Shi Qi's eyes blazed with intensity, "The fact that I'm alive might disappoint you."
"Disappointed? Why would I be?"
Shi Hao laughed, "If I could defeat you once, I can do it again."
"Perfect, you're still alive. I'll defeat you again. The last battle didn't quite satisfy me."
"Hahaha!"
Shi Qi laughed heartily, "That's the spirit, my dear brother. You should have such ambition. But this time, it's my turn to defeat you."
Boom!
His eyes blazed with divine light, as if piercing through Shi Hao.
"But..."
"Without the Supreme Bone, how can you be my match?"
Boom!
The people around them exploded with shock.
The Double Pupil Practitioner was too flamboyant and too powerful. His appearance had already drawn everyone's attention, but their conversation now had everyone in an uproar!
The Double Pupil Practitioner had been defeated?
By this seemingly ordinary youth?
Initially, they didn't believe it, thinking the youth was boasting.
But when Shi Qi confirmed it himself, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
This seemingly ordinary youth was so domineering, so abnormal, that even a Double Pupil Practitioner couldn't defeat him?!
And the next words were like a nuclear bomb going off.
This seemingly ordinary youth had once possessed the Supreme Bone, a born Supreme?
"If he was indeed a born Supreme... then he does have the qualifications to fight the Double Pupil Practitioner. But in a battle between a born Supreme and an undefeated Double Pupil Practitioner, his chances of winning are probably less than one in ten."
"This..."
"Silence! Be careful he notices you!"
However, neither Shi Hao nor Shi Qi paid any attention to their whispers.
Shi Hao smiled, "I've said this more than once."
"Without that bone, I can still be invincible in this world."
"You took my bone, claiming to be an invincible Supreme, but you still fell to my hands."
"Well, how is that bone working out for you?"
"The Double Pupil path is naturally invincible. Why bother borrowing the bones of others?" Shi Qi said indifferently, "I was just curious and wanted to play with it."
"Now, I've already ground that bone into dust and used it as nourishment."
"In our next battle, I'll show you why the Double Pupil Practitioner is called invincible."
"Then let's fight!"
Shi Hao's battle intent surged, unafraid.
His cultivation wasn't an ordinary one. Although he had transcended tribulation, he wasn't at the Tenth Immortal Realm but rather the Divine Flame Realm.
He had ignited the Divine Flame!
This realm also corresponded to the Immortal Realm in terms of combat power, so he could be considered an Immortal.
Just...
Fourteenth Stage.
How much strength one can exert in this stage depends on who is making the move!
...
Boom, boom!
The two of them exuded surging auras.
Stirring up boundless winds and clouds, it seemed as if even the heavens were trembling.
"Hahaha, this is quite lively. It seems I'm in for some excitement."
Dong! Just as everyone thought the two were about to engage in battle and began to retreat, another loud laughter echoed, followed by a dazzling golden figure ascending against the current and forcefully approaching the two of them.
He wore golden armor and held a golden divine spear, and behind him were two powerful protectors!
His aura was majestic and no less formidable than Shi Hao and Shi Qi. His eyes were filled with excitement.
Looking at Shi Hao and Shi Qi, he could barely restrain the battle intent in his heart.
And his appearance...
He bore a three to four-fold resemblance to Shi Hao, but he seemed much younger.
"Who are you?"
Shi Qi glanced at him, his eyebrows slightly raised. "Interesting."
The moment Shi Hao saw this person, his heart trembled.
"..."
"Why is it interesting?"
The golden-armored youth, with his imposing stature and confidence, said, "I am Qin Hao of the Qin Clan."
"Qin Hao?!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "The strongest Celestial Prodigy of the ancient and immortal Qin Clan, who has already become a disciple of Everlasting Mountain!"
"I heard that he's only fourteen years old, but he has already slain a True Immortal."
"Moreover, he possesses an Immortal Bone within his body, which the Qin Clan obtained at a great cost and transplanted into him. Therefore, despite his youth, he is the number one Celestial Prodigy of the Qin Clan and the Young Supreme of Everlasting Mountain. These two powers are nurturing him as their heir, and his future potential is limitless."
"His identity, status, and the forces backing him are even more impressive than that of the Double Pupil Practitioner."
"After all..."
"The Double Pupil Practitioner is just that, a Double Pupil Practitioner. I haven't heard of any great power or top expert backing him."
"Your words are wrong."
Someone refuted, "Even if the Double Pupil Practitioner has no one behind him, what does it matter? As long as he wishes, countless great powers would beg for his allegiance! Those powers could very well be above the Qin Clan and Everlasting Mountain!"
"However, in terms of combat power, it's hard to say."
"Although the Double Pupil Practitioner is known as invincible, the Immortal Bone is an existence above even the Supreme Bone. Moreover, he has the support of the Qin Clan and Everlasting Mountain... and that set of golden battle armor he wears is a complete set of immortal artifacts of very high rank!"
"If they really fought..."
"The Double Pupil Practitioner might be at a disadvantage."
"..."
The surrounding people exclaimed in shock.
However, Shi Qi remained calm, his double pupils scanning Shi Hao and Qin Hao back and forth. Finally, he smiled and said, "Indeed, this is interesting."
"To meet here like this."
"Speaking of which, this is the first time the three of us brothers have gathered."
"Why don't you two come together?"
"Let me see the extent of your abilities."
Boom! His words shook Shi Hao to the core.
Brothers... three of them?! Combining the fact that Qin Hao bore a three-fold resemblance to him and that he was probably about five years younger, Shi Hao made a deduction.
Could it be...
"Seeing your surprised expression, do you not know?"
Shi Qi spoke plainly, "Your parents are still alive and well, and they've even given birth to a Celestial Prodigy."
"From what I see now..."
His eyes sparkled, as if he had seen through the cause and effect between Shi Hao and Qin Hao, "Do I need to say more?"
Qin Hao frowned, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
He had already guessed some things but was reluctant to acknowledge them.
This Shi Hao... is my brother? If I acknowledge him...
Hmph! Shi Hao gradually regained his composure. "I don't need your help. I can handle this alone."
"Why do you need others' assistance?"
"You're still so confident." Shi Qi smiled, "Since that's the case, come!"
"Wait!"
At this moment, Qin Hao spoke up to stop them, "Are you two ignoring me?"
"I'll fight both of you!"
"Hahaha!"
Shi Qi burst into laughter, his eyes shining with divine light.
Shi Hao also wanted to laugh.
He felt a bit shy and nervous.
He didn't even know how to interact with his younger brother, but the boy's arrogance made him want to laugh.
"It's better if I fight both of you. That way, it's fairer for you two."
Shi Hao's eyes blazed with battle intent.
In his heart, a different kind of emotion emerged.
Putting aside all the messy hatred and other emotions, this was indeed a battle between three brothers...
"Ridiculous!"
Just as the three were about to start, laughter came from a distance.
"Who do you think you are to speak so arrogantly here?"
"How audacious!"
"Don't think that having some reputation in your own small territory makes you true Celestial Prodigies. In our eyes, what are you?"
Boom! A flying boat tore through the sky, as if pressing down on the heavens, and then slowly descended.
On the boat were several Celestial Prodigies.
Their eyes were filled with confidence, even arrogance, as if they didn't put Shi Hao and the others in their eyes at all.
At this moment, Shi Hao and the others looked up at them.
Shi Qi suddenly took an interest.
