Perfect World

Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Gaining the Method Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Gaining the Method Rivers flowed tranquilly in the sky like jade nectar, sparkling and radiant.

However, the presence of some divine corpses drifting in it marred its beauty.

Shi Hao stood there silently, gaining profound insights.

This time, he had made a tremendous breakthrough; the power of thunder had shattered his restraints, transcending the limitations of the Suan Ni Divine Technique, and he had taken a significant step forward.

When still, he resembled a boulder, but once he moved, lightning wrapped around his body, and every pore emitted bursts of electric light, endowed with a mysterious and powerful mana of thunder.

“So strong!” Even he himself sighed softly.

With mastery over it, his combat power would undoubtedly double.

Thunder was one of the most terrifying forces in the world, and at its peak, it could overshadow all else.

It was known that the Supreme Demon Sovereign had ultimately perished to Immortal Dao Thunder; the heavens had dispatched calamities, striking him down with forbidden lightning, resulting in his death and the disappearance of his Dao.

In the past, although Shi Hao had devoted himself to studying thunder, he was always confined within the framework of the Suan Ni Divine Technique, unable to break free.

Only today had he made that crucial breakthrough and taken that vital step.

“After transcending, I can venture into the supreme domain of thunder, allowing this Divine Skill to evolve continuously.”
He harbored an ambition to continually research and comprehend the laws of thunder, integrating various Lightning Runes to create forbidden Divine Skills, not inferior to the top ten precious techniques of the world.

Especially now, since he could not use the laws and Dao of the Lower Realm to avoid being detected, he needed more than ever to achieve breakthroughs and evolve on his own, unlocking other Divine Skills.

A pair of silver eyes opened, glimmering like the edge of a sword in the distance, staring intently at Shi Hao.

The Tianhe was crystalline, shining with light, flowing through the void and illuminating the surroundings brightly.

However, further away, the fog remained, dense and gloomy as ever, much like other parts of Demon Island, filled with mystery and the unknown.

This was a Ferocious Beast, approaching silently before suddenly bursting forth, charging through the air with countless silver sparks, pouncing toward Shi Hao.

On Demon Island, all the ferocious spirits knew the art of thunder.

Shi Hao calmly turned around, having already sensed the approaching Ferocious Beast.

Raising his hand, he unleashed a whip-like strike towards this Venerable Realm behemoth.

This was a lizard with a silver-white body and cold eyes, having lived in this region for hundreds of years, a rare expert even within the Venerable Realm.

Demon Island possessed both Demon Lord’s true blood and the power of Immortal Dao Thunder, nurturing some mysterious and powerful creatures, filled with unknown dangers.

Yet, at their first collision, the lizard let out a tragic scream.

Its four-hundred-year cultivation was penetrated; its silver lightning shattered, scales scattered, and blood flowing profusely.

It was no match for Shi Hao and suffered severe injuries in their first encounter.

Shi Hao turned his palm into a blade, accompanied by a bolt of lightning, slicing forward.

The silver giant lizard quickly dodged and spat out a Treasured Artifact to block.

But it was all too late, the lightning-like blade struck, cleaving through its Treasured Artifact, piercing its armor, and bisecting it; blood rained down.

Finally, with a loud boom, the power of thunder exploded, and this Venerable Realm silver giant lizard disintegrated into ashes.

Trying out this new power, Shi Hao was very satisfied with the formidable might of thunder.

He continued onward along the Tianhe, delving deeper.

Over this half-month, he had been doing just this, practicing for a while then moving forward.

Near this Tianhe, the power of thunder was rich, an excellent place for cultivating Lightning Runes.

During this journey of cultivation, he paused intermittently; each time he sat down, he would take out that golden herb, studying its runes, gaining tremendous insights.

“Once I reach the deepest part, consuming this herb might have extraordinary effects,” he whispered softly.

The herb lacked consciousness and didn’t know how to cultivate, yet it contained some mysterious patterns, which he guessed were remnants of the ancient Immortal Dao Thunder.

Scattered across Demon Island, some had been absorbed by this herb.

“This stone belongs to me,” Divine Striking Stone said.

The strange grass was dazzling, rooted in a boulder as large as a human head, also containing lightning and characters.

Together, they looked like the fierce sun crossing the sky.

“Let me comprehend it thoroughly first.

These characters, albeit incomplete, hold immense significance,” Shi Hao said, attributing his breakthrough of the Suan Ni Divine Technique to them.

Moreover, he believed that once he consumed this grass, he’d be cleansed by a remnant of the Immortal Dao within the grass, making his body more attuned to the thunder, and enhancing his precious techniques.

“This curse is unbearable!” Divine Striking Stone fumed.

Walking along Tianhe, what was most terrifying was not the attacks of the Ferocious Beasts but the power of the curse—formless and intangible, hard to counter.

This was why everyone knew that the Immortal Grave was at the end of the long river, and why even Sect Hierarchs couldn’t get close.

The curse was dreadful; if one couldn’t eradicate it, it would rapidly weaken someone, eventually grinding away their foundation and causing their body to collapse.

It was rumored that once a giant from the higher realms died because of it, alerting many strong warriors who dared not probe any further.

“The intensity of this curse scales with one’s cultivation, the stronger the individual, the more intense the sensation,” whispered Shi Hao, a piece of information he had learned from others on Demon Island.

Perhaps ordinary people suffered the least from the curse, but how could they withstand the Freocious Beasts along the way?

It was difficult to even move a step.

Shi Hao kept moving forward for another eight hundred miles, feeling even greater pressure.

The curse was terrifying, forming intriguing and bizarre patterns on his skin.

Still, Shi Hao could resist it, continually erasing it, yet he felt a certain pressure.

Having overcome the curse from Immortal Hall before, he was not afraid of this mysterious power.

With some understanding of how to counter it, he continued on his way.

Two days later, Shi Hao had traveled deep along Tianhe, where Curse Runes glimmered like stars densely scattered in the void, significantly materializing.

“Eh, someone once meditated here and laid down some arrays,” he quickly arrived at the riverbank; there was a Stone Mountain hanging in the air, majestic and immobile, silent and still.

He had traveled for twenty-something days without seeing a soul, and now encountering such a place, he was stunned that another strong entity had ventured this deep.

Flying up the cliff, he found an altar where he saw a line of characters that made his body tremble violently.

He rushed forward and stroked those characters.

The characters, intermittent and conveying the writer’s emotions, resonated deeply, making their feelings palpably real.

“Infant…

are you still alive?”
A simple sentence, filled with regret, care, and desolation, blurred Shi Hao’s eyes instantly, as he yelled, “Grandfather, I am still alive!”
Back then, when Lord Fifteen escaped from his confines and blasted his way into Stone Capital, he learned his grandson had lost the Supreme Bone and had vanished for over a decade, filling him with grief and dismay.

But he didn’t believe his grandson was dead.

Later, he went to Immortal Mountain to rescue his descendant, only to be unexpectedly drawn into the higher realms.

“Grandfather, I am still alive, don’t be sad, we will meet again!” Shi Hao shouted, his voice echoing across Tianhe, wishing he could see his grandfather immediately to tell him that he was still in this world.

Even after entering the higher realms and learning that his grandson who had vanished for over a decade had reappeared and participated in the dual-stone battle, sweeping across all enemies, Lord Fifteen was likely to be disillusioned once again.

Because later, when the Seven Gods Descended, it was known worldwide that Shi Hao ultimately died fighting against them.

Shi Hao’s chest heaved, and it took him a long time to calm down.

“Grandfather, are you ahead?” he muttered to himself, hoping for a reunion, eager to see the elder and tell him that he was not only alive but also on a path to becoming invincible.

With his heart surging, Shi Hao longed to grow stronger, continuing his cultivation while advancing towards the Immortal Grave.

“How long this road is!”
He cultivated as he traveled, and nearly a month had passed, yet he still hadn’t reached the end.

Additionally, the curse was growing stronger and more intense.

Suddenly, thunder roared skyward, and rays of light spread like clouds ahead.

A humanoid creature was practicing divine thunder, immensely powerful and astonishing.

“There’s someone else who made it here…”
Shi Hao looked surprised.

He thought that except for himself, everyone else who had entered Demon Island had already stopped, but he didn’t expect to see another person here.

“This person…is incredible!” Shi Hao felt a shock in his heart as he observed from a distance.

This person’s vitality soared like a prehistoric beast, immensely terrifying.

He felt that this person wasn’t inferior to those Primordials he had encountered after arriving in the higher realms.

He truly was too strong.

Suddenly, the sky filled with thunderous light converged and transformed into a ferocious bird that plunged into the person’s body, revealing his true form—which surprised Shi Hao as he recognized him.

This person appeared pale, seeming very desolate, his gaze dim, lacking the sparkling radiance.

“It’s him!” Shi Hao realized.

The first time he set foot on Demon Island and saw this person, he knew he was extremely powerful, probably a Primordial.

Now, it seemed likely that this was indeed the case!

That person naturally saw Shi Hao too and looked his way.

Their gazes met across the sky.

Eventually, Shi Hao stepped forward and said, “Martial brother is remarkable for cultivating the lightning style precious technique to such a divine level.”
“Martial brother flatters me,” the young man shook his head.

Unlike other radiant young elites, he seemed to carry a certain duskiness, lacking a vibrant and spirited air, perhaps suggesting a more composed demeanor.

After a brief exchange, Shi Hao was surprised to learn that this person’s name was Li Yuncong, from Tianyuan State.

A thought struck Shi Hao, and he said, “I’ve heard that a Child with Dual Pupils emerged in Tianyuan State, heralded as a forbidden myth.

Is that true?”
This news had already spread widely: the Child with Dual Pupils defeated a Primordial from Tianyuan State drawing attention from all around.

Li Yuncong was silent for a moment before finally nodding and saying, “I am the one who fought with the Child with Dual Pupils and was utterly defeated.”
Shi Hao was taken aback, not expecting to meet one of the individuals involved so unexpectedly, especially with this person being a Primordial, yet he had faced a terrible defeat in that battle!

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know,” Shi Hao expressed his apologies.

“No worries,” Li Yuncong shook his head.

He had fought to his full capacity but still lost, truly no match for his opponent.

“How formidable is the Child with Dual Pupils?” Shi Hao’s heart wasn’t quite settled.

His first life-and-death battle after starting his journey was with Shi Yi, which was extremely grueling, and he had nearly been destroyed.

“Although I fought him for five hundred moves, I was suppressed throughout the entire battle; once the Dual Pupils precious symbol was activated, it suppressed everything, truly an unbeatable myth,” Li Yuncong sighed softly.

He had never been defeated since birth, his fame resonating across multiple states, absolutely invincible among his peers in Tianyuan State, being the top one.

However, once the Dual Pupils revealed themselves, they shattered all his glory, comprehensively overpowering him, even though he used the supreme precious symbol unique to Primordials, he still wasn’t a match.

Chilled by this revelation, Shi Hao realized Li Yuncong was incredibly formidable; he could feel the terrifying divine might within him, yet he had been defeated.

Li Yuncong, with his status as a Primordial, certainly had an impeccable credibility—even among the best.

This highlighted the heaven-defying aspect of the Child with Dual Pupils.

“What does he look like?” Shi Hao asked, harboring some suspicions in his heart.

“Confident, composed, tall, eyebrows…” As Li Yuncong described, Shi Hao was shocked.

How could that person look so much like Shi Yi?!

Li Yuncong was very frank; he spoke of his defeat and how he left Tianyuan State to explore one forbidden area after another, seeking a breakthrough.

“I heard that Demon Island retains the Immortal Dao Thunder, and I wanted to retrace a path, cultivating divine thunder, so I came here.”
When Shi Hao heard this, he said, “What a coincidence, I also wanted to study the dao of lightning, hence I ventured deep into this forbidden area.”
Although the two were cautious, they had a very engaging conversation and eventually started to spar, using only Lightning Runes without employing any other precious symbols.

Behind Li Yuncong, a ferocious bird appeared, wings striking the heavens, bringing endless thunder clouds that covered the sky, tremendously shocking, causing even Tianhe to churn out huge waves.

“I obtained a scripture detailing the methods and dao of the Thunder Sparrow, a prehistoric ferocious bird,” he said.

Shi Hao was surprised; it was definitely a terrifying Great Divine Power among the thunder methods.

He did not hide anything either, sharing that he had learned the Suan Ni Divine Technique.

“Good, we’re equally matched, let’s spar.” Li Yuncong was surprised, a flush of color appearing on his pale face.

It was a great battle, seemingly intense, but actually quite standard; neither was willing to deal lethal blows; they were only sparring to comprehend the methods and dao.

Although both were on guard, it did not hinder this kind of sparring and exchange.

Finally, Shi Hao said, “These two precious techniques are equally matched; how about we exchange?”
Li Yuncong was surprised but quickly nodded and said, “Sure, we can exchange!”
Ordinary people would never dare to do this so rashly.

They would need to be guarded and extremely cautious, but these two were extraordinary individuals, each with their own strong self-confidence.

Li Yuncong brought out a bone fragment that detailed the Thunder Sparrow’s methods and dao, which he had obtained long ago in an ancient cave dwelling.

Seeing his frankness, Shi Hao also held nothing back, took out a bone, and earnestly engraved the complete Suan Ni Divine Technique without any omissions.

The two got along very well and discussed many insights about cultivation.

Finally, Shi Hao took out a golden exotic grass, asked him to examine it, and inquired about what it was and its potential value.

“What great fortune.” Li Yuncong was amazed; he had heard that Demon Island had some exotic plants containing a hint of Immortal Dao Thunder Runes, considered invaluable treasures.

“This kind of thing needs to be refined into a liquid and then consumed; meditate to realize its essence, and it can rapidly advance one’s mastery of the laws of thunder,” Li Yuncong explained.

He directly stated that if Shi Hao cultivated the Thunder Sparrow’s methods and dao combined with this exotic grass, he could master it in a very short time, with astonishing effects.

Shi Hao was overjoyed; he originally wanted to merge various lightning runes to advance into the supreme field of thunder, evolving it into a forbidden precious technique.

Now, he could take advantage of this situation.

“I thought I had obtained great fortune, which was already impressive, but I never expected that Lord Desolate also had such an encounter,” Li Yuncong brought out a piece of purple Divine Wood.

“What is this?” Shi Hao asked, puzzled.

“This is Thunder Divine Wood soaked in Tianhe for countless years, containing endless Thunderous Force, which can aid my cultivation,” Li Yuncong explained.

Shi Hao gasped; the other party was indeed no ordinary person, daring to retrieve something from Tianhe, where ordinary people would turn to ashes if they dared to do so.

“It’s just luck, Martial Brother, don’t take the risk, I barely escaped the death river,” Li Yuncong said with some trepidation.

In the end, the two parted ways, each going to secluded cultivation to ponder the thunder domain’s methods and dao.

Several days later, Shi Hao was sitting cross-legged, and in front of him, the exotic grass began to dissolve into a golden liquid, glimmering splendidly with numerous runes flickering, reflecting the heavens, quite mystic!
