Chapter 1123: Chapter 712: Huang in Dire Straits Chapter 1123: Chapter 712: Huang in Dire Straits As the thought settled, Shi Hao immediately ceased to overthink.
Everything could be considered carefully,
but one must never hesitate excessively.
Being too indecisive would only lead to defeat.
He had already searched a large area within the Immortal Domain,
and although it was vast, should the plant that the Lord of the Forbidden Area spoke of truly exist, with his present strength, it certainly could not escape his senses.
Now, even if he was reluctant to trouble Senior Liu, it seemed unavoidable.
If he could not find it himself, then under the heavens, it was likely that only Senior Liu could provide some useful information or assistance.
And with time pressing and a heavy task ahead, he must gather all the strength he could before the great chaos erupted, which meant he could not be overly concerned with minor details.
In the future, should Senior Liu need his help, he would willingly ascend a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames in return.
The Hunyuan Fairy King accompanied him, keen to see whether Shi Hao could gather the various immortal plants needed to concoct the Life-prolonging Pill, and even more eager to witness the legendary pill itself.
Of course, there was also the reason of tending to the furnace.
Even though he could heartily offer the first Alchemy Furnace to Shi Hao, however one saw it, that was something he used to earn his living – there was only one such furnace under the heavens.
A normal alchemy furnace seeking to reach such a level would still require unimaginably lengthy time, mixed with many treasures and Immortal Gold, in addition to the tempering by Heavenly Tribulation to evolve it to the state of the first Alchemy Furnace.
Thus, he had to keep an eye on it, so that, in case of any accident, as the master of the furnace, he could react accordingly.
Both being Immortal King Realm entities, their speed was naturally not slow.
Their figures flew like the wind, in an instant streaking across the starry sky like a shooting star, leaving behind only a dazzling trail of light.
As they moved through the air, heaven and earth boomed, heart-shaking and majestic, space shattered in an instant, and distances that seemed unreachable were suddenly drawn close within arm's reach by them.
Quickly,
a towering and undying great city suddenly appeared before the eyes of Shi Hao and the Hunyuan Fairy King.
Looking from afar, the city that hung in the sky appeared so majestic the eyes couldn't see its end, as if framed against the twinkling of the stars.
The city walls soared into the clouds, resembling the spines of dragons stretching into sinuous crests, intimidating to those who gazed upon them.
And at the four corners of the towering walls, there were four straight and broad flights of bluestone stairs stretching down, extending all the way to the vast land below.
“Compared to before, this Holy Land seems to have undergone some changes.”
The Hunyuan Fairy King's gaze slowly shifted away from the giant city, but he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Among all the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain, his visits here were infrequent, few and far between.
The only few times were hundreds of thousands of years ago, on account of Sage Master Liu hosting a tournament for young disciples, and even then, it was Pan King, a close friend, who had dragged him over.
In such the blink of an eye, at least seven or eight hundred thousand years had passed since his last visit, and the changes felt more pronounced than those of bygone days.
Shi Hao's eyes also flickered; his last departure from this place had been far too hasty, without a chance to observe carefully. Now, he also noticed some alterations.
For example, the bluestone stairs that sprawled like giant feet across the land.
They seemed like ordinary, mundane objects.
And that was what was most abnormal about them.
For one, given Senior Liu's character, he definitely wouldn't use something so banal for such grand construction; he simply had an incredibly lavish foundation.
Secondly, with Senior Liu's current power, using a pile of Immortal Gold to forge these bluestone stairs would have been considered normal.
After watching for a long time, Shi Hao could not discern anything peculiar about the bluestone stairs and consequently stopped scrutinizing them.
“Mixed Yuan Senior, here, unless given permission by Senior Liu, no one may fly.”
Approaching the city gates, as if worried that the Hunyuan Fairy King might forget this rule and cause unnecessary conflict, Shi Hao couldn't help but casually remind him, though his tone had relaxed quite a bit.
Along the way, the two had enjoyed each other's company.
The Hunyuan Fairy King marveled at how Shi Hao had become a king at such a young age, breaking age-old conventions, and given time, he was sure to become even more formidable. It's often said that it's better to help someone in need than to add flowers to the brocade, and the old Fairy King had expressed the wish to make contact with Shi Hao.
And Shi Hao admired the Hunyuan Fairy King's forthrightness and boldness.
Thus, after a few exchanges, their friendship grew closer.
“Thanks for the reminder, Fellow Daoist.” The Hunyuan Fairy King naturally remembered the rules here; with the memory of an Immortal King, even a million years, let alone ten million years, would not be enough to forget, for even though time did not stand still for them, it was not much different.
Within the Holy Land,
it was not Lin Laoer who guarded the city today but a stranger with a True Immortal cultivation level.
They entered the city properly, and led by Shi Hao, the Hunyuan Fairy King hurried towards the depths of the Holy Land.
The Holy Land was established upon the grounds of the previous King Ao Sheng's Immortal City, thus its territory was naturally vast and boundless, larger than the combined Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and the Frontier Wilderness, beyond measure. Merely walking with human strides, no lifetime would be sufficient to traverse it back and forth.
However, Shi Hao had the Eternal Guiding Stone given by Jiang Hui, and after they had walked just a few hundred meters, ripples akin to those in water suddenly spread rapidly around them as the center point.
