Chapter 615: Chapter 615: Pacifying the Lower Realm Chapter 615: Chapter 615: Pacifying the Lower Realm “Whoo…
whoo…” The horn sounded as the Azure Gold Warship crossed through the void, departing from the Western Sect and gradually vanishing from sight.
The inside of the ship shimmered with dazzling lights, as various Divine Materials and Spiritual Medicines, stacked like small mountains, emitted brilliant halo, dazzling anyone who tried to look directly.
“The harvest is enormous; these ancient great schools indeed have astonishing foundations and deep accumulations, beyond imagination!” exclaimed the Peacock King of Light on the ship, as even he felt his heart surge with excitement—not to mention the younger members, as the treasures were simply too numerous and thrilling at just a glance.
Even Stone Country paled significantly in comparison to schools like the Heaven Mending Sect and the Western Sect, although it was once considered an Ancient Divine Country!
“This cauldron is quite impressive; it’s a True God Divine Instrument,” the War King marveled.
It was ancient and weathered.
Pouring a bowl of water into it resulted in a fragrant liquid, hinting at how many precious medicines had been refined in it.
Shi Hao also noticed this cauldron, which he had acquired from Heaven Mending Sect.
Covered in grey-brown color, it appeared stone-carved, holding incredible character-etched within—truly rare.
When not in use, it was only about a cubic foot in size, but with just a slight stimulation of fire for medicine refining, it immediately expanded, ancient and grand.
Shi Hao scrutinized it and decided to send this cauldron to Stone Village as compensation; he had broken both of the village’s Ancestral Artifacts during the battle with the old servant of Immortal Hall.
Afterward, Shi Hao picked up a bone sword, a vine staff, and a fist-sized, bright red cauldron, all engraved with Divine Patterns and inexplicably powerful—among the fine selections of Divine-grade Artifacts from Archaic times.
He handed them to Light Wind to bring back to Stone Village for the protection of his clansmen.

War King, Peacock King, and others certainly had no objections, both great schools were taken down by Shi Hao.
This time the harvest was immense, and there were also some truly remarkable ancient weapons on the ship that would remain with Stone Country.

“What an enormous harvest!
One could never have expected such a great gain!” Peng King sighed, feeling restless even as a Venerable One.
“Your Majesty, please also choose a weapon for yourself,” suggested the War King.
The armory here ranged from Venerable-grade to Divine-grade instruments, all radiating precious brilliance and flowing with unusual colors—truly remarkable.
Shi Hao nodded; he needed a potent Magic Artifact for protection on his journey to the higher realms and did not plan to take the Treasured Artifacts that served as the linchpins of Stone Country.
He browsed through them, accompanied by several old kings who explained the origins and functions of these instruments which they had learned in detail from captives after breaching the two sacred places.
Shi Hao browsed them all but found none particularly to his liking until his eye finally caught a divine pond filled with crystal-clear Vajra Elixir, emanating a peculiar fragrance.
“This is it.”
He motioned with his hand, summoning the Demon-Subduing Treasure Pestle from within the pond.
This mysterious object, crafted from an unknown Beast Bone, was unassuming without any luster.
Yet, everyone understood it was an ancient weapon, not ordinary by any means, certainly crafted by a Deity.
Upon wielding it, Shi Hao immediately felt its heft; the Treasure Pestle was only a foot long but weighed thousands of pounds—an indeed special and bizarre material.
With a gentle wave, the bone-crafted Demon-Subduing Pestle sliced through the air, sketching out character runes with staggering fluctuations, instantly causing a nearby mountain to crumble.
“Very strong, this weapon is excellent,” affirmed the War King.
“Found it!” Just then, a guard exclaimed with great joy, presenting an ancient scroll.
“The formula for Golden Body Elixir?!” Peacock King gasped.
Heaven Mending Sect possessed a Liquid Thunder called Golden Body Elixir, exceedingly rare, historically available only to core disciples like Yue Chan for consumption or soaking.
Stone Country was greatly interested in this formula, having been searching for it, and now they had found it in the treasures.
It had equivalent value to the Vajra Elixir formula; if one wanted body refining, just getting enough Divine Liquid would multiply the effects, forcibly enhancing it to the ultimate.
In former days, the Child with Dual Pupils, Shi Yi, gained substantial quantities of Golden Body Elixir, making his body sturdy enough to withstand Shi Hao’s own cultivated divine body, nearly matching him.
“Regrettably, it’s incomplete, just the upper volume; the lower volume is missing—it can only serve as a reference,” Shi Hao said after looking over it, shaking his head in disappointment.
The complete ancient formula disappeared from the Lower Realm along with the demise of the Venerable One from Heaven Mending Sect.
Techniques like precious symbols and Sacred ancient techniques were held by the most significant figures; they were hard to preserve, for once accessed, they would self-destruct due to prohibitions within their spiritual sea.
“Still, the fact we obtained the Vajra Elixir formula is fortunate!”
Nothing is perfect; possessing a single ancient recipe already signified great fortune, enabling the Shi Clan to grow stronger still—not feasible to obtain everything.
Otherwise, even the heavens might decree a calamity.
The Azure Gold Warship passed through the “Domain Wall” and returned to the wasteland, stirring a massive uproar—Stone Country had ventured to other domains for war and returned victorious, boiling over the whole world.
Knowing Stone Country attacked not just an ordinary sect but three sacred places, overturning them all—this was unbelievable to people.
For millennia, Heaven Mending Sect, Immortal Mountain, and Western Sect had governed the Lower Realm, claimed to be immortal, truly unopposable by anyone.
Yet now, their foundations had been severed and their gates overturned!
“Little Stone, a Divine Being, supposedly dead yet revived, had broken all sacred places, destined to be remembered for ages!”
This event was hugely impactful, destined to leave a deep mark in cultivation history.
Shi Hao was aware that the ability to overturn these great bodies was mainly because this was a godless era; those mighty beings had all been seized by Undying Beings.
Otherwise, had it been any other era with Divine Beings who ignited divine flames residing in sacred places, they would have been impossible to defeat.
The Azure Gold Warship did not return to Stone Capital but headed towards the Western Frontier, the sound of horns resonating through the great desolate area, causing alarm to several forces along its path.
People knew they were headed for the small Western Heaven, the last remaining hostile doctrine that had not been eradicated.
There, a Suan Ni lingered, one of Shi Hao’s Guardian Spirits, stationed to prevent important figures of the sect from escaping.
It did not advance further because this place was special; small Western Heaven was within a tiny world, now the entrance was sealed off, isolating it from the outside.
“It’s a good time to test the power of this Treasure Pestle,” said Shi Hao, standing on the Azure Gold Ship, his body aglow with Divine Power, and then, he ferociously sacrificed the Demon-Subduing Pestle.
“Boom!”
The bone pestle transformed into a radiant white light, surging forward and suddenly smashed into the sealed stone gates; from this epicenter, Infinite Runes were emitted.
In a brief instant, the nearby great desolate area felt a massive impact; flora shattered, mountains cracked.
The surrounding mountains were stripped of life, completely obliterated, and many peaks were cut down; undeniably, the entrance to the tiny world was breached.
“What a powerful Magic Artifact!” praised Shi Hao, whereas others were left speechless; this weapon was no ordinary one, it was a fine piece even among True God Divine Instruments.
“Too bad, its use comes accompanied by unique symbols of the Western Sect, making it instantly recognizable,” Shi Hao shook his head, considering it a nuisance.
Inside the small Western Heaven, chaos erupted; faced with powerful enemies at their door, they panicked as even the Divine Gateways shattered, likely heralding a great disaster now.
Shi Hao led the charge inside and quickly grew furious upon encountering several notorious culprits; infamous brigands of the wasteland that reminded him of the robbers ravaging the great desolate area back then.
“Kill!” He commenced a massacre.
Unexpectedly, aside from the deceased White Jade Horned Elephant in small Western Heaven, there was also a Venerable One; his strength was formidable, yet he too could not escape death.
This sect was destined to be eradicated, whether due to their targeting Stone Country or their bloodshed in the smaller tribes of the great desolate area in days past; their evil deeds were numerous and warranted conquest and eradication.
In small Western Heaven, there were not many Divine Materials, but the medicine fields were lush, radiating colorful light and emitting fragrant aromas.
Here, Spiritual Medicines were especially abundant, including rare ones like Golden Grass, Falling Moon Flower, and Purple Star Orchid.
Most exhilarating was that there was a cave of flames nurturing Burning Flame Spirit Flowers, Vermilion Bird Orchids, Red Light Grass, and other entities; there was also a marsh fostering Spiritual Blood Qiu, Celestial Centipede, and Three-legged Frog among other spiritual insects.
“Take these back to Stone Country to cultivate; we will never worry about a shortage of Spiritual Medicines again,” said the Peacock King of Light.
“Now we have everything; we can produce all pills below the Venerable ones, and also some Minor Nirvana Pills,” Shi Hao nodded.
The conquest of small Western Heaven signified that all great enemies had been defeated, heralding the rise of Stone Country.
This news, spreading across the world, made all directions tremble!
In the end, a disciple of the Li Family from Stone Capital was responsible for handling the aftermath in small Western Heaven; his name was Li Baiding, who had once trained in that sect, and took charge of the final mess.
Thus, small Western Heaven became a city under Stone Country, subject to its directives.
Stone Country flourished, with Shi Hao’s resurrection and return overturning several sacred places, causing tremors across the world, leaving no more adversaries.
“I am about to leave,” Shi Hao stood within the Central Heavenly Palace, sighing softly.
Outside, the world was noisy, in uproar.
Shi Hao ignored these, beginning his seclusion to refine medicines; before departing, there were still things he needed to do.
In the grand palace, Spiritual Energy was densifying; various Spirit Grasses were gathered, numerous rare minerals were brought into the palace, and spiritual insects were also prepared.
For consecutive half months, Shi Hao constantly made pills, batch after batch, many of which he gave to light wind for delivery to Stone Village, while a portion was for Stone Country.
In the end, he even refined more of the precious Minor Nirvana Pills, invaluable treasures capable of elevating kings to Venerables!
“It’s time to leave, to seek my own opportunities,” declared Shi Hao, rising up and ceasing his medicine refining.
War King, Peng King, and light wind wanted to retain him, but opening their mouths, they did not know how to speak up; Shi Hao was heading to the higher realms, seeking his own path—they couldn’t stop him.
“Your Majesty!” Several old kings were deeply moved; from Shi Hao’s rise to his demise and then to his resurrection, too much had happened, leaving unforgettable memories.
“Aren’t you going to visit Stone Village again?” light wind choked up, tears in his eyes; this farewell might be forever, never to see him again.
“No, it will only bring sadness, let’s leave it at that,” Shi Hao responded.
“Stone Emperor!” Many imperial titles showed up to see him off, all filled with reluctance and some with tears in their eyes.
Especially the young powerful beings, they were extremely reluctant; Shi Hao had led them to overcome several sacred places, dominating and stabilizing the world, which stirred their emotions, earning their respect and admiration.
“Goodbye!” Shi Hao turned and strode away grandly.
Some imperial titles felt a sourness in their hearts but could do nothing to stop him.
light wind shed tears, calling out loudly, “Take care…
Clan Leader, Uncle, and the friends we grew up with, we can’t bear to part with you!
Can we meet again in this life?”
Shi Hao paused, his eyes blurry, nose sour, but ultimately did not turn back and disappeared.
Thank you, “Wanderer—Scholar” Alliance Hierarch for the red packet, and thank you to Floating Cloud Night for the-redpacket!
