Perfect World

Chapter 624: Chapter 624: The Rise of the Proud Heavens Chapter 624: Chapter 624: The Rise of the Proud Heavens It had been over a year since they last met, Fairy Yue Chan’s main body had become even more transcendent, untouched by the mundane world, her bright eyes and white teeth sparkled, her white garment fluttered like a fairy stepping right out of a painting.

Out of nowhere, an almost imperceptible aura of might diffused around her.

Her divine soul’s power was astonishing, making even the likes of the Huai City’s lord feel terrified.

Shi Hao half-squinted his eyes, not looking directly, yet his mind was anything but calm, this main body of Yue Chan was more potent than before, with a divine soul that dazzled, emanating an immortal aura.

He had known long ago that Fairy Yue Chan was no ordinary being, born amidst marvelous signs, she had once caused a sensation in the higher realms and seemed to have been sealed thereafter.

Back when he had allied with the witch to confront Yue Chan’s Second Body, he had noticed the clues—in the deepest recesses of her sea of consciousness lay a supremely graceful woman in slumber, wrapped in an immortal breath.

“So, she has begun to unseal and release that kind of power from her divine soul, what a frightening origin,” Shi Hao inwardly exclaimed.

The young adult from the Immortal Hall remained as mysterious as ever, cloaked in characters, his true features obscured, yet commanding immense respect from everyone, none daring to meet his gaze.

The two crossed the skies, as if a match made in heaven.

“That’s a Fairy from the Heaven Mending Sect, truly peerless under the heavens, beautifully almost unreal.”
“Only the young adult from the Immortal Hall could have such an unparalleled fairy by his side.”
“Perfectly matched, like celestial lovers.”
…

As this illustrious pair crossed the skies, they drew gasps of admiration from the sects, a mixture of fear, envy, and jealousy written on their faces.

“Something extraordinary must be taking place for so many to have gathered, stirring all the sects—could it all be because of that silver-haired woman?

What exactly has happened?” Shi Hao mused to himself, feeling that if there was some significant fortune to be had, he was likely to be inevitably drawn into the storm.

Inside the Martial Arts Arena, most people were oblivious to the changes in Huai City, especially the youths, lacking sharp instincts and perception; the selection competition continued.

“Watch me!” Zhu Village’s youth, Zhu Jun, stepped forward, took a deep breath, shouted lightly, and then with a dong, he lifted a massive cauldron weighing ten thousand jin.

“Good!” His peers nearby exclaimed in admiration.

“What’s that anyway?” someone sneered disdainfully from the side; a robust youth from Python Village approached, grabbed the cauldron with one hand and with a dong, lifted it.

“Divine Power!” the crowd marveled, for they all came from humble tribes; teenagers merely relying on their bodies, without using characters, lifting ten thousand jin with one hand was remarkable indeed.

People speculated that this prodigy from Python Village, if he exerted his full strength, lifting thirty thousand jin with both hands wouldn’t be a problem—an astonishing feat.

“Not bad!” the lord of Huai City nodded in approval, smiling.

“A bunch of little spiders, you’re too weak.” The youth from Python Village turned back and laughed at those from Zhu Village; his followers also snickered and scoffed.

“I’ll take over!” The mightiest young man from Zhu Village stepped forward, roared, and also single-handedly lifted the ancient cauldron weighing ten thousand jin, earning similar admiration.

Shi Hao remained calm; at just seven years of age, he had already been able to lift a hundred thousand jin boulder with one hand, surpassing the Extreme Boundary.

He later learned that the county town was just an “initial trial,” and this type of selection competition was merely to eliminate many enthusiastic but powerless youths.

If one believed oneself strong enough, one could go directly to the Prefecture City to join the major battle, where life might be at stake.

Thus, he did not participate.

If there was indeed a great fortune to be seized and one must duel for it, then going directly to the Prefecture City would suffice.

“Ssh!”
A colossal bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, shaking half the heavens, which was actually someone’s fist might, immensely terrifying.

“Ah…”
There were screams; five or six individuals were blasted, their torsos exploding, leaving only fleeing halves—Venerables slaughtered to such a state.

A golden-haired man approached, stepping on the void, covered in endless golden lightning—it was he who had obliterated the lower halves of several Venerables while pursuing them.

“Lightning Child!”
Someone exclaimed, recognizing his identity.

Legend had it that he was born on a stormy day; just upon his birth, his heavenly spirit cover glowed, followed by a thunder strike!

Allegedly, the lightning was like oceans cascading down in an instant, all absorbed by his heavenly spirit cover, transforming into a character, branded on his head.

This was a miracle!

His tribe and parents were immensely shocked, they named him Lightning Child, symbolizing the heavens’ child; right at birth, the thunder couldn’t hurt him, the lightning aided his tempering.

Since then, he had an affinity with lightning, his punches unleashed unmatched lightning fist power, unbeatable ever.

“How dare you few mere fellows scheme against me?” Lightning Child’s golden hair fluttered as if ablaze, his entire body a blaze of endless golden lightning, dazzling and bright.

“We did not know you were Lightning Child, please Divine Child, forgive us!” one of them shouted.

Pff!

Lightning Child pointed a finger, a streak of lightning zipped by, and those individuals exploded into a blood mist before turning into ashes.

This sight sent shudders of dread through the people of Huai City; this man was too formidable, Venerables were nothing to him, clearly at the same realm, yet he killed them as if plucking items from a bag.

“Truly worthy of being Lightning Child.” someone sighed.

“I want to know if the rumors are true?” Lightning Child looked down upon Huai City, addressing the people from the major powers, seeking confirmation.

All those who were stared at felt a chill down their spines; born under the protection of the heavens, the Lightning Child was struck by lightning the moment he was born and not only survived but also condensed characters on his skull, making him one of the strongest prodigies of his time!

An old Venerable One spoke up, “Everyone outside is saying that the silver-haired lady has encountered a great fortune, which is why she’s been pursued by the young adult from the Immortal Hall.”
“Get to the point!” Lightning Child said in a deep voice.

The old Venerable One hurriedly added, “Some say she found a Treasured Artifact—the Three-life Copper Coffin, and others say she discovered the Supreme Hall.

We really don’t know for sure.”
The others quickly nodded, echoing his statement.

“Whoosh!” Lightning Child vanished, traveling with lightning, leaving only a trace of afterimage behind.

Shi Hao finally understood why the silver-haired lady was being chased by people from the Immortal Hall—it seemed she had discovered something significant, no wonder other Primordials and major forces had also rushed over.

He did not know what kind of Magic Artifact the Three-life Copper Coffin was, but being called a treasure of the higher realms, it must be incredible!

He had some understanding of the Supreme Hall and knew that it had returned to the higher realms.

Although the selection competition in Huai City was still lively, sudden events had brought many strong individuals to the city, making the competition seem dull and lackluster.

The lord of Huai City turned pale; as the ruler of this land, he was insignificant in front of the mighty from various sects, even some old servants were Venerables, powerful enough to sweep through this place.

“Children, we should leave,” the Third Elder felt something was amiss, and as soon as the selection competition ended, he prepared to hit the road.

The youths of Zhu Village felt dejected, as they had been completely wiped out; the county only selected the top ten individuals, and Zhu Village, despite being among numerous tribes nearby, didn’t have a single person who made it into the top ten.

“Ha ha… Little Spider, better scurry back to the village and hide,” some from Python Village laughed loudly; one of them had made it into the top ten and was now taunting the others.

On the road, the Black Shell Snail moved quickly, but the journey of several hundred miles was still heart-stoppingly thrilling, with occasional bursts of light in the sky, clearly indicating a fierce battle among masters.

“Sss!”
In the distance, a brilliant spectacle unfolded—a man sat cross-legged in the void, his body covered with characters, enveloped by a great sun, radiating an extraordinary sacredness and wrapped in flames.

“He’s here too!” Shi Hao recognized him; it was Teng Yi from the Huojin Clan, with whom he had once sparred—a terrifying opponent.

Had it not been for the restrictions on his True Body, the outcome would have been uncertain and unpredictable.

At that moment, he was battling a group of Golden Ants, each as large as a fat cow, all pure-blooded creatures, in an intense fight.

A group of Golden Ants, with unmatched physical strength, impervious to Treasured Artifacts—if others encountered even one, they would face defeat, but Teng Yi alone was fighting a whole group.

“Good heavens, one man fighting against the Golden Ant Tribe, truly fearsome, a worthy unbeatable Teng Yi of the Huojin Clan!”
Observers from afar gasped in awe.

People from Zhu Village passed by, all of them terrified; the giant snail sped up to escape the area.

Shi Hao’s eyes flickered with anticipation; he longed to face such an opponent, but he couldn’t afford to reveal himself now, as his natural laws were still incomplete, making it unwise to act recklessly.

“It’s better to seize the fortune in secret,” Shi Hao muttered to himself.

He didn’t linger and returned with the people from Zhu Village, encountering no dangers along the way.

Back home, Shi Hao behaved himself, waiting for his body to recover, refraining from using any precious symbols until he was able.

For several continuous days, this region was turbulent, with frequent battles erupting, heroes rising up, and representatives from various sects rushing in, nearly turning this area upside down.

In the following days, nearby tribes were uneasy, cautious about hunting, as strong individuals patrolled the mountains, occasionally engaging in fierce battles.

Rumors persisted that the silver-haired lady had not escaped; she was hiding in this area, with strong individuals roving within thousands of miles in search of her.

“Finally, it’s done!

Five days later, beams of light burst forth from within Shi Hao’s body with crackling sounds.

No longer needing to seal himself, his characters were now complete, and he could freely use his precious symbols.

He felt stronger than ever before, every move in perfect harmony with the heavens and earth, as if he could pluck the stars from the sky!

After learning about the predicament of Zhu Village, Shi Hao took action, hunting and bringing back several large creatures like the Dragon Horned Elephant, Two-Headed Flame Rhinoceros, and six-legged camels.

“Thank you, young friend!” the Third Elder expressed his gratitude, otherwise these days would have been stringent; they could only rely on grains, which would have been insufficient for the blood and vigor of the young men who were strengthening their bodies and embarking on the path of cultivation.

“I should take a look myself,” Shi Hao said after recovering, stronger than before.

He decided to venture out, take a turn in the mountains and search for that legendary great fortune.

“Eh?!”
Just as he entered deep into the mountains, he came across a tense standoff, surrounded by many people who watched from afar, not daring to come close.

The young adult from the Immortal Hall held the Void Halberd, his long hair disheveled, his presence awe-inspiring, standing there covered in characters like a Divine King descended on earth, looking down on the world.

Alongside him, Fairy Yue Chan in flowing white robes, stood together with him, a perfect complement, facing two others opposite them.

“Someone dares to challenge this duo?” Shi Hao was surprised; as he got closer, he showed a puzzled expression—surely, it was a small world after all.

On the other side of the mountain, the witch smiled charmingly, her skin pale, her eyes lively, her lacy black dress accentuating her graceful figure, contrasting sharply with Fairy Yue Chan’s white robes.

“No, this is her True Body.” Shi Hao was taken aback; he realized the black-clad woman was different from before, her appearance combining the best features of the Sky Fox Fairy and the witch.

“This fellow…” Shi Hao finally realized, what he had seen before was merely the witch’s Guardian Spirit!

Beside the witch’s True Body, a man sat cross-legged, enveloped in fiery light made of characters, profound and sacred.

A young man, somewhat obscured by the firelight, but discernibly majestic.

On his shoulder rested a divine lamp, with mysterious power flowing out into the void.

He dared confront the young adult from the Immortal Hall, indicating his terrifying power.

The second chapter ends here, and I will continue to work hard.
