Perfect World

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Heavenly Path Ends Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Heavenly Path Ends “Just like that, he left, not knowing when they could meet again, perhaps it might truly be never.” Shi Hao left, carrying reluctance, but ultimately he embarked on a long journey.

“The Lower Realm still has several great fortunes, just that I do not know when they will reappear.” He told everything he knew to Stone Country, so they could search for it in the future.

But it would likely take a very long time, given that the schools of the Lower Realm had always been searching and had not acquired them.

His first stop was Heavenly God Mountain, but unfortunately, it was empty and desolate; the Celestials Clan had all departed, and what was once the Primordial Divine Mountain had become an abandoned place.

In that moment, he thought of many people.

Second Baldy, who had repaired the array here before leaving with the Celestials Clan for the higher realms.

Yun Xi, a purple-haired young girl with bright eyes and white teeth, possessing unparalleled beauty.

She had once fiercely battled with Shi Hao at Hundred Shattered Mountains, where the two rolled around on the ground in a fight, the violent child biting her crystal-clear ear.

Shi Hao took out a pendant from the bronze precious box, a token reportedly used by a Celestials Clan maiden for engagement.

“Fire Emperor and others also left from here, they should have safely entered the higher realms,” Shi Hao murmured softly, grateful to Fire Emperor for allowing him to cultivate in the Fire Nation and receiving guidance.

Huo Ling’er, was she alright?

Shi Hao wondered, inevitably falling into deep thought, remembering how this young girl had helped him on more than one occasion.

The higher realms were so vast, an area of one domain was broader than all eight regions of the Lower Realm combined, would he still be able to seamlessly meet her?

After standing for a long time, he left, as this place no longer provided access to the higher realms.

The path to the heavens was severed; he stepped into the great desolate area and began to search one place after another, hoping to open an ancient road.

After overcoming the Western Sect, Immortal Mountain, and Heaven Mending Sect among others, Shi Hao uncovered many secrets, and now he headed to those hidden places recorded by these major schools, trying his luck.

“Dong…”
The bell tolled lingeringly; this was an ancient temple deep in the mountains, entirely cast from bronze—bronze tiles, bronze columns, bronze courtyard walls, where time had left mottled marks.

The entire ancient temple was covered in green rust, surrounded by ancient savage woods, where monkeys screamed and tigers roared.

This was a hidden site recorded by the Western Sect, originally a Divine Temple, but an ominous event occurred, and it was abandoned by them, with no one visiting thereafter.

However, it was rumored that this was a heaven-defying transport formation that could enter the higher realms.

Shi Hao arrived here following the records, examined it carefully, and was startled—the bronze hall full of green rust felt vaguely familiar to him!

“Isn’t this…

the curse of Immortal Hall?” he conjectured.

In ancient times, members of the Immortal Hall had descended to the Lower Realm, acted here, and turned a Divine Temple into a death ground full of ominousness.

“If I go up, there will eventually be a battle!”
Immortal Hall was extremely fearsome; their numbers never exceeded five, yet they shook the higher realms, making the formidable powers and immortal traditions extremely wary.

Rumor had it that the so-called Bronze Immortal Hall was an Immortal Artifact!

“This mysterious legacy has existed for endless ages, coexisting with heaven and earth, and is the arch nemesis of the Supreme Hall.

Alas, although I’m in the Lower Realm, I couldn’t discover the Supreme Hall.”
Shi Hao was regretful, unable to find that place even with all of Stone Country’s power, and thus left it to the slow exploration of time by Light Wind.

In this generation of Immortal Hall, the “adults” were not much older than him, only a few years so, yet they were considered insurmountably huge mountains by their peers in the higher realms—invincible!

“How strong could they really be?” Shi Hao mused to himself.

ƝονǤᴑ.ᴄ0

Although he was confident, he was not arrogant; if a meeting occurred, it would certainly be a battle of life and death!

With a palm strike, he shook off the bronze rust, the curse power nearly worn out over the years, but unfortunately, the transport formation here had already been destroyed.

At his next stop, he came to an ancient cave mansion recorded by Immortal Mountain, only to be disappointed again as it had already collapsed.

“You have already mastered two Supreme Bones, how strong are you now?” Standing in front of the ruins recorded by Immortal Mountain, he whispered to himself, thinking of his younger brother.

After Qin Hao went to the higher realms, he caused a great sensation; many viewed him favorably, claiming he was destined to rise and become the Supreme.

Several immortal traditions extended their olive branches, willing to betroth the premier maidens of their tribe to Immortal Mountain, all to court this young man.

Shi Hao departed, this time heading to “Zhou Domain,” which is the area of the Heaven Mending Sect, but he was disappointed after searching two ancient roads.

Finally, he reached the last secret place, letting out a surprised cry, discovering some traces in these ancient mountains.

“Goodbye, Lower Realm!”
This was left by Fairy Yue Chan, identical to her handwriting, imparting a dao rhythm with a certain emotion; she seemed to have a complex mood when leaving.

“It wasn’t left by the main body.” Shi Hao could confirm so, because the main body of Yue Chan had taken the road from inside Heaven Mending Sect, which had long been severed.

This was left by the Second Body of Yue Chan; after Shi Hao’s “death,” the people of Stone Village had let her go, and she didn’t return to Heaven Mending Sect but chose a secret road on her own, entering the higher realms.

“Once we had a union by ceremonial vows under the same roof…”
Shi Hao thought back to the past, momentarily lost in a trance.

That Fairy, who was said to possess strange phenomena and sealed with an inexplicable divine soul in her body, had many intersections with him.

Soon, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Shi Hao’s mouth—Yue Chan’s Second Body didn’t return to Heaven Mending Sect, but instead chose to quietly enter the higher realms, surely to avoid her main body.

“If we were to meet, in what manner would we face each other?” Shi Hao murmured.

Were he and Fairy Yue Chan’s Second Body husband and wife, friends, or enemies?

He felt that he could still meet her.

“What a pity…” he sighed softly.

The array here had been used once and was also destroyed.

By this time, Shi Hao couldn’t help but frown.

The Absolute Heavenly Passage wasn’t just something to talk about; it was now difficult to find a way to enter the higher realms, especially after the Celestial God “Battle Intent” event.

Some arrays would self-destruct immediately once they were used.

The Blue Sea was vast, waves crashing against the sky, and occasionally giant beasts surfaced, their lengths unknown, causing enormous waves.

Shi Hao set out to sea, following the reminders from Little Pagoda and the Undying Being, and went overseas to see if any ancient paths were still accessible.

For this purpose, he entered the depths of the sea, finding places like the Flood Dragon Palace and the Mermaid Palace, but he was disappointed—there were no ancient paths to be seen.

A huge island lay ahead, radiating a rosy light, with a giant stone tablet standing erect: Sea God Island.

Something stirred in Shi Hao’s heart; he landed on the island to pay a visit, and immediately caused a commotion.

His name had already spread to the outer sea, and many strong beings from the ocean race recognized it.

“The one who slew the Supreme Flood Dragon with a sliver of Guardian Spirit?”
Whether it was Shi Hao’s past, or the fact that he had revived from death and flattened several sacred places, all showcased his unparalleled strength, terrifying the world.

Sea God Island, though deeply rooted, was now godless and naturally very anxious and worried, fearing he would eradicate their dao traditions.

Shi Hao landed on the island and said, “I just want to borrow a passage.” He explained his purpose honestly.

The creatures of the supreme ocean deity race breathed a sigh of relief, then explained that the path was broken.

Ever since Mo Shang had left, it could no longer be used.

“Mo Shang?”
Shi Hao remembered who that was.

That ocean race youth had left a deep impression during the battle at the Peng nest, a powerful adversary, and the two had fought fiercely.

No wonder the ocean race was anxious, fearing he had come for retribution.

Later, Shi Hao also learned that Han Tian, a youth from the Flaming Fish race ranked alongside Mo Shang and as formidable as a devil God, had entered the higher realms.

After their departure, the ocean side was left without a way.

At this moment, Shi Hao fell silent.

Could it really be impossible to ascend?

The paths between the two realms were broken?

He returned to the land, resettling in the wasteland, silently contemplating and reviewing all the paths he knew, before heading to a place.

“The hundred clan battlefield, it is said that if you pass the final test, you can ascend to the higher realms.”
The hundred clan battlefield existed in all realms.

His grandfather had once caused a great calamity there by killing a Pi Xiu.

It was a battlefield where different races vied for supremacy.

Shi Hao was well aware of it but had never set foot there before.

On this day, a youth arrived at the wasteland’s hundred clan battlefield, constantly challenging others, and then winning consecutively, causing quite a stir.

In recent years, after the great calamity of heaven and earth, all the Primordial Divine Mountains had declined, and the hundred clan battlefield was no longer in its heyday, lacking invincible beings.

After altering his appearance using the seventy-two transformations, Shi Hao participated in the battle, not attracting much attention because, at this time, all the world was talking about Little Stone, discussing Stone Country; these duels in the hundred clan battlefield paled in comparison to Shi Hao’s sweeping conquests.

Having triumphed in this battlefield, Shi Hao walked onto the altar and was transported to a desolate place where there were no living opponents, only puppets and the like.

He fought his way through and, once again victorious, was transported to another ancient land.

This piqued his interest.

One secret land after another, connected by arrays; could it really lead out of the Lower Realm?

He charged forward, being continuously transported six times, and along the way, he saw some skeletons.

The bodies were growing older, proving that many years had passed since anyone had reached this place.

With Shi Hao’s current might, he easily bulldozed his way through the challenges.

“Suppress the realm, the next few levels all require fighting in the same realm.”
Finally, Shi Hao fought his way to the tenth level, the last level, and his heart trembled because he saw a fully functional transport formation.

However, he also saw a warning here.

“What?

The final level of the hundred clan battlefield is a prison?

Most of the beings that ascend from here are captured and used as mounts…” Shi Hao was shocked.

Some beings had escaped from above and inscribed such warnings.

“So-called hundred clan battlefield, it turned out to be this, some immortals in the higher realms deceive people too much!” Shi Hao murmured.

The truth was so, excessively tragic.

He silently pondered, and finally turned away and left.

This path was still there, but the problem was severe; he absolutely did not want to be captured to guard a mountain gate.

Moreover, he could not reveal himself at this moment.

Once some people in the higher realms knew his identity, it would be hard to stay alive.

Shi Hao retraced his steps, sighing.

Was heaven really cutting off his paths?

By now, he was out of roads to take.

He consulted various bone texts, pondering in his heart, considering all the paths he thought possible once again, only to find a vast chasm had truly formed between the two realms.

Shi Hao looked to the sky, how could he enter the higher realms, was there really no way at all?

Suddenly, he remembered something and said, “There’s still one path, one that surely leads to the higher realms!”
