Chapter 1145: Chapter 723: Stone Monkey and the Calamity of Immortality_2 Chapter 1145: Chapter 723: Stone Monkey and the Calamity of Immortality_2 No matter what, coming here naturally meant he had to see the master.
After successfully resurrecting Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi, Shi Hao didn't leave immediately. He had been staying in the village.
Firstly, he was drinking merrily with Tu Wa Zi and others.
Secondly, after getting Jiang Hui's permission, he would run into the Questioning Path Divine Bamboo Forest whenever he could for sudden enlightenment.
Once such matters escalated once or twice, they would inevitably lead to a third time.
After personally experiencing the extraordinariness of the Questioning Path Divine Bamboo, Shi Hao simply fell in love with the place.
Emperor Merciless saw Shi Hao on that very day.
However, she didn't say anything, just glanced at him from afar.
Some matters have such immense karma, they simply cannot be spoken aloud. The content would be instantaneously erased, and once spoken, Emperor Huang Tian might attract the attention of the Bizarre Clan, with unimaginable consequences.
As to why she could speak with the Master of Liu Village without any repercussions…
She really couldn't understand.
To her, it was as if he had been forgotten by the heavens and the earth; no matter what he did or said, it wouldn't attract attention, nor would it incite any karma.
But, could there really be someone untouched by karma in this world?
Emperor Merciless wasn't sure.
After all, the world is vast, and even her perspective had its limits.
But no matter what, having one more person aware of the existence of the Bizarre Clan couldn't be bad.
Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor of later generations had succeeded in breaking through to the Immortal King Realm, Emperor Merciless couldn't help but show a hint of relief in her eyes.
It's happening soon.
This greatest Heavenly Emperor of all time would soon truly face them.
Taking advantage of the time she could still spend in this past era, Emperor Merciless decided to settle down in Liu Village again, in the same residence as her first visit.
The courtyard was quiet and deep, with lush vegetation, untouched by the passage of time.
Every part of this village was the same, where the flow of time seemed to stand still.
Such a heavenly and earth-defying place, truly unprecedented. Even though it wasn't her first time here, Emperor Merciless couldn't help but feel somewhat sentimental.
Such a wonderful place, it's feared that even humans unable to cultivate could live for a very long time; it was beyond imagination.
That day.
While wandering through the village, Emperor Merciless felt something and abruptly headed toward a large peak.
Suspended in the sky.
Emperor Merciless's gaze sparkled.
Through the dense, impenetrable forest, she looked towards a figure covered in golden fur within the many layers of palace halls.
“Turn out to be a rootless being, naturally nurtured by the world, truly miraculous… If raised properly, once it fully matures, it could possibly shake the Nine Heavens.”
Looking towards the distant Stone Monkey, who was cleaning and arranging a group of horses of various sizes, Emperor Merciless was slightly surprised.
When she first entered the Emperor Realm, she too had seen a monkey.
That monkey practiced Buddhist Divine Skills and was called the Victorious Fighting Buddha, quite extraordinary.
That day.
A piece of news came through.
Qin Hao went missing.
The messenger was none other than Hit the God Stone.
That little stone, after enduring a million years of wear and tear, seemed to have not changed at all on the outside. It was still just a palm-size stone.
As one of the Ten Evil.
Even without achieving Immortality, its powerful lineage could grant an unimaginably long lifespan.
Of course, with such strong bloodlines, divine talents were naturally abundant.
Back then, this little rock that required Tu Wa Zi's protection had become an existence at the True Immortal Extreme Peak level.
In a certain sense, the Ten Evil cannot be considered perfect Immortal King spirits. Their physical bodies can be compared to, and even surpass ordinary Immortal Kings, but their Primordial Spirits have yet to reach that step, except for the first-ranked True Dragon.
Therefore, the current strength of Hit the God Stone was already about to surpass that of this ancestral lineage, which also indirectly implied that the talent of this descendant of the Ten Evil, like that of the Little Antler Ant, is quite extraordinary, being the sole survivor.
“Everything was fine, so why did he suddenly disappear?” Shi Hao's expression tightened.
Qin Hao was his younger brother. They had an unbreakable relationship, connected by blood, and most importantly, the other party carried two Supreme Bones, possessing talent considered unparalleled in the world, with equally impressive strength. How could he just vanish out of the blue?
Hit the God Stone scratched the back of his head with hands he had conjured, equally puzzled, “I'm not clear either, but someone once saw him being nabbed by a pair of large hands.”
“From where was he nabbed?!”
Hit the God Stone was in the middle of speaking when Pan King suddenly walked over.
He had originally planned to leave today, as his own King's Domain also needed his presence, especially at this critical moment.
King's Domain generally places great value on the continuation of their bloodline because it's so difficult for such powerful beings to produce offspring, particularly direct descendants. However, once they do produce offspring, they would be descendants of Immortal Kings, born with the power to suppress beings of the Ten Evil level.
However, upon hearing that Shi Hao might have encountered trouble, he simply came over to listen.
He was on good terms with the Lord of the Forbidden Area, Willow God, and others, and Shi Hao had a special relationship with the two, seemingly even sharing a master-apprentice bond. Morally and rationally, he felt obliged to help out a bit more.
The Hunyuan Fairy King also watched Shi Hao with a hint of emotion.
“Senior Pan Wang, Senior Mixed Yuan.” Shi Hao hurriedly bowed in greeting.
“We are now equals in the King's Domain, so we should treat each other as peers. There's no need to be so formal!” said Pan Wang with a smile.
“A matter is a matter, in my eyes, you will always be seniors.” Along his journey, the respect given to him by those before him was due not only to his real strength but also to his ever-calm and humble demeanor.
Pan King and Hunyuan Fairy King exchanged glances, chuckled again, and didn't continue the conversation but turned to look at Hit the God Stone.
“Those beings reside in the deepest part of the Immortal Domain,
Where vast mountains and rivers are everywhere, not a soul in sight for billions of miles, a completely deserted No Man's Area.
What exactly lies hidden within is unknown even to us, because even old Immortal Kings like us rarely venture there, it's too dangerous.
Those creatures wield many supreme techniques that have been lost to time, seemingly beings of an ancient era.
The calamity of eternal life that plagued Nine Hevens and Ten Earths originated from their hands. You must have heard that they tempt those with exceptional talents with the prospect of eternal life, something few in the world could resist. But little do they know, if one stubbornly pursues this path, in the end, they will be body-snatched by those beings.”
Here, Pan King's voice paused slightly, giving Shi Hao time to process.
Although Huang's talent was frightening, due to his rapid ascent, with too little time to accumulate wisdom, he was unaware of some of these hidden secrets.
“The catastrophe of eternal life from back then was related to those beings?” Shi Hao was shocked internally. He was unaware of these matters, only knowing of the existence of the eternal catastrophe, like his mother's family's ancestor, Qin Chang Sheng, and members of the Eternal Family such as Wang Chang Sheng were related to it.
Yet Jiang Hui was somewhat puzzled. Since those beings were capable of initiating the eternal life catastrophe, they must have already crossed the threshold of eternal life and stepped into the Immortal Path Field. If they were already immortal, why would they body-snatch others?!
This made no sense.
“Because it seems they escaped from the Ancient Guidance Palace, with only their Primordial Spirits remaining, lacking physical bodies,” Pan King said with a sigh, his words heavy with meaning.
“The Ancient Guidance Palace again!” Shi Hao's expression stiffened but quickly understood why those beings would initiate the calamity of eternal life; they merely sought suitable bodies for themselves.
The abduction of Qin Hao was likely for the same reason.
Just why they didn't progress step by step… perhaps it was related to the looming large-scale reckoning.
They couldn't wait any longer.
“Thank you, seniors, for resolving my doubts.” Shi Hao collected his thoughts and once again bowed to Pan King.
“Do you plan to go take a look?” Pan King asked.
“Of course!” Shi Hao nodded affirmatively. His own brother had been taken; as an elder brother, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing, and more to the point, he now had the strength to brave even the most fearsome dragon's den and tiger's lair.
“Brother Shi Hao, we will go with you!” Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, and others spoke up.
Shi Hao, however, shook his head, “My brothers, this is my personal matter, and I should not involve everyone in this!”
Tu Wa Zi was impatient and cut off Shi Hao before he could finish, “Simply cultivating in seclusion is not very effective for us, better to go out and clear our minds. Don't worry, if we truly encounter danger, we also have ways to escape quickly.”
