Perfect World

Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Becoming One with the Ten Cave Heavens Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Becoming One with the Ten Cave Heavens Chen Qing restrained himself, not wanting to engage in a fierce battle in his worst state, because he had been seriously injured by the swarm of insects.

Shi Hao did not make a move either.

He could sense that a Primordial was spying in the darkness, and a successor of the Immortal Hall was howling in the distance.

He did not want to fight here and let others take advantage.

Chen Qing was unwilling, but ultimately he retreated.

Qin Hao and Yue Chan’s main body also disappeared, not wanting to battle to the death with Shi Hao over a single Bug King, as there were greater opportunities ahead.

Those coveting in the shadows all shivered in their hearts and silently withdrew, knowing that another young Supreme had emerged in the secret realm, a person who dared to confront several great experts at the same time!

A cold smile appeared on Shi Hao’s lips.

With a flicker, he was gone, now off to enhance his strength and bring himself closer to complete perfection.

“Has grandpa arrived?” He also mused to himself that if that special “youth” was the demonic deity, he would certainly track down Qin Hao and come here.

What he needed to do now was to increase his combat power, and wait for that person to appear, to then confirm whether it was Lord Fifteen.

“Boom!”
Lightning streaked across the sky, a person’s fist light illuminating the heavens.

Lightning Child was making a move, battling with someone.

This area could not remain peaceful, and the fighting was extremely fierce.

What exactly was going on?

Shi Hao was puzzled.

It was not until half an hour later, when he encountered several cultivators whose cultivation was not very high, that he gradually understood after inquiring.

This place might see the emergence of a Bug Emperor!

Perhaps it could be called the King of Ten Thousand Insects.

Within thousands of miles in this area, many insect hives were scattered, with different kinds, each with its own king.

Someone found in an ancient cave that this was an insect domain left behind by the Primordial Heaven Supreme, intended to cultivate a King of Ten Thousand Insects.

After a long period of time, bug kings of various species dueled and devoured each other, ultimately evolving into the Bug Emperor!

Someone in an ancient cave mansion found some remains of divine insects, and it was astonishing that they did not belong to any clan, but were born from devouring and evolving each other, reaching a terrifying level.

People speculated that this place inhabited metamorphosing and evolving exotic insects, maybe not yet the King of Ten Thousand Insects, but not far off.

This alarmed some Primordials, drawing them to search, intending to find the insect nests and obtain the pupae of the King of Ten Thousand Insects to cultivate.

“There are pupae of the King of Ten Thousand Insects here?” Shi Hao was surprised.

“Indeed, someone discovered it, which attracted a group of young Supremes to fight over it,” said a cultivator, pointing towards an area in the distance where the central land was surrounded by five Divine Mountains, shrouded in five-colored Immortal Light.

In that area, there were traces of the King of Ten Thousand Insects, terrifying nests, and some cocoons of nirvana and evolution.

“What’s the use of the King of Ten Thousand Insects?” Shi Hao didn’t understand.

Was it worth everyone contending over?

“It’s hugely useful.

Once it’s confirmed to be the King of Ten Thousand Insects, it means it possesses incredible spirituality and is considered an invaluable treasure!” someone sighed.

According to these people, not only was the King of Ten Thousand Insects extraordinarily powerful in battle, able to contend with the Primordials, but it could also grow alongside young Supremes, becoming their right-hand support.

Moreover, the King of Ten Thousand Insects was amazingly perceptive.

Some were sensitive to metals and could unearth Divine Mines underground, mine Void Gold, and other Immortal Materials, and even assist in tool refinement.

Other Kings of Ten Thousand Insects were sensitive to the natural laws of the world, could capture various character trajectories, seek out the hidden cave dwellings of predecessors in this world, and discovering relics like the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm of the Primordial Heaven Supremes was not out of the question.

…

“`
These people talked about the abilities of different Bug Emperors, which astonished Shi Hao, greatly surprised him.

The King of Ten Thousand Insects was too valuable, worthy of a life-and-death battle by the Primordial ancients to compete for its possession.

If it were in the outside world, those big shots would definitely make a move.

His heart stirred, and he suddenly thought of the Emperor Butterfly, which only appeared once in the Primeval Times and hardly ever emerged in normal times.

Could it be…

the King of Ten Thousand Insects?

Shi Hao was certain that the Emperor Butterfly commanded an indescribable majestic presence among the various insect groups, able to give orders, like the emperor of all clans!

Therefore, after discerning the opportunities in this place, he didn’t rush into battle.

He had the Emperor Butterfly and believed it wouldn’t be inferior to the King of Ten Thousand Insects.

“First, go cultivate and make myself perfect!”
Shi Hao flew outwards, not staying in this region.

Right now, this place was where the Primordial Ancients competed, with beings igniting divine flames lurking about, very dangerous and not suitable for seclusion.

On his way, he excitedly discovered many insect groups and continuously captured some exceptionally rare and precious insects.

“Red Centipedes, Eight-Legged Azure Toads, Golden Scorpions…” Shi Hao’s eyes lit up; these were rare insects that one might not encounter even if sought after.

Some were almost extinct in the outside world, but he could find whole populations here.

These were natural precious medicines bestowed by heaven.

At the same time, he was surprised to find in the habitats of these creatures, within those ancient caves there were amazing treasures, invaluable minerals needed for alchemy, like “Ying Long Soil” and “Golden Scorpion Stone.”
“Fantastic!” Shi Hao was overjoyed.

With this, there was no need for any substitutes at all, all kinds of precious items were completely collected.

He harnessed lightning, transforming into a human-shaped lightning bolt and departed far away, quickly disappearing without a trace.

After Shi Hao left, Chi Lingkong of the Fire Demon Palace and another of his clansmen who had ignited divine flames escaped to this area, taking a breath of relief.

The Demonic Blood Ghost God Tree pursued them relentlessly.

Only the two of them were left, and the other two had perished.

“Little beast, I will not let you go, I must find you and slay you!” These two harbored deep hatred for Shi Hao, but upon hearing that a Bug Emperor had appeared here, they couldn’t help but be tempted and decided to stay.

Shi Hao traveled far until he was eight thousand miles away.

He selected a peaceful and serene mountain range, dug out a cave dwelling, set up an Array, and began to close up for seclusion.

While in Zhu Village, not only did he complete the laws, but he also finished rebuilding the Blood Transformation realm.

This time he wanted to reshape the Heavenly Passage realm, which he considered to be the most important realm.

He could forgo reshaping other secret realms such as Engravement Realm, Array, etc., but he needed to seriously reconstruct this particular realm because he could feel that this secret realm was extraordinarily special.

In the past, he had opened ten Cave Heavens, astonishing all the clans in the wasteland, his combat power thus dominating his generation with astounding utility.

Since his resurrection, he had been researching the Myriad Spirits Diagram in depth, comparing it to gain insights into the Primal True Solution, and he made significant gains.

By leveraging this, he wished to reshape the Cave Heavens.

He was hoping for a breakthrough, to carve out a different path!

Within the belly of the mountain, the cave dwelling that Shi Hao had excavated was isolated from the outside world.

A bone cauldron that glowed a purplish radiance was illuminating, and the Spiritual Spring water poured into it was already boiling.

This cauldron, obtained from the Fire Demon Palace, along with more than a hundred varieties of Spiritual Medicine inside, was a Divine Level Medicine Cauldron.

It was sufficient for refining both his own body and precious medicines.

“I can give up the other secret realms and not rebuild them, but I must reconstruct the Heavenly Passage realm!” Shi Hao muttered to himself, sitting cross-legged near the cauldron, carefully guarding it.

Very soon, he started putting one after another precious medicine into the cauldron, bursting with flowing lights and colors.

“The Golden Ginseng is the best for blood replenishment, capable of evolving precious blood.” Although he wasn’t short on Spiritual Medicines, with a complete variety, Shi Hao still took out this stalk of Divine Medicine, cut off a section, and placed it into the cauldron.

The golden old ginseng was more than a foot long, and cutting off a portion released golden juice, rich and fragrant, giving off a sensation that one might ascend and become immortal.

This was Shi Hao’s most luxurious medicine refining, using real Divine Medicine, these treasures were retrieved from the Pill Furnace in front of the Immortal Grave by the Tianhe.

“`
“`
Golden juice fell into the pill furnace, turning all the medicinal liquids within into gold, sparkling brilliantly and exuding an enticing fragrance.

Subsequently, Shi Hao added various precious medicines like the Black Jade Lotus, Scarlet Orchids, Golden Grass, and more into the mix, making the entire cauldron even more dazzling, overflowing with lustrous light and overwhelming with the scent of the medicines.

A full hundred stalks of Spiritual Medicine were placed inside, refined in a single cauldron, a sight remarkably astonishing.

Undoubtedly, the recipe from the Shi Clan was a mystery, and at the same time incredibly extravagant; it was merely a Heavenly Passage realm secret formula, yet it required so many stalks of Spiritual Medicine.

Of course, he also put in some extra to ensure that the medicinal effects would be nothing short of miraculous.

In the end, Shi Hao stripped off his clothes and entered the cauldron with his True Body to refine himself—a truly astounding tableau.

He sat cross-legged there, the liquid in the cauldron glittering, stalk after stalk of precious medicine bobbing around him—the black dog leaf vine, the dazzling Star Grass, the golden old ginseng, the erupting Burning Flame Spirit Flowers…

It was too extravagant, incredibly startling, to the extent that even those immortal traditions that never fade would be astounded, with only great schools being able to provide such for a handful of disciples.

Shi Hao sat inside the cauldron, silently reciting the Primal True Solution.

The many Bone Texts surfaced in his mind, granting him tremendous insights; ever since obtaining the Myriad Spirits Diagram, he had comprehended the true meanings by contrasting it with the Bone Texts.

Inside the Medicine Cauldron, besides various precious medicines, there were also some minerals and medicinal insects, such as the arm-length Red Centipedes, the palm-sized Silver Pangolins, the golden-bodied scorpions…

all kinds of strange insects floating and sinking.

Of course, the most precious of them all was a divine insect, silver-bodied with Qilin Patterns on its body, containing medicinal effects that horrified the world—the Bug King of the Black Scaled Insect Clan.

The juices in the Medicine Cauldron boiled over, with mists of auspicious clouds steaming upwards, creating an enveloping haze, resembling an Immortal Domain with rich essence that was too concentrated to disperse.

Shi Hao sat in the middle, stewed by the medicinal liquid, his body turning a glowing red, as if he were about to be thoroughly cooked; in reality, it was his blood surging, cleansing every part of his body.

He was practicing the Bone Texts from the Primal True Solution, validating them against his own body!

Finally, he placed the cauldron lid on top, covering the boiling Pill Furnace, sealing himself inside.

The purple Bone Cauldron was translucent and delicate, emitting light like jade.

He continued to refine himself, using great medicines as a catalyst to cleanse his flesh and bones, seeking breakthroughs.

Of course, all the precious medicines served merely as aids.

The true test still lay within him; ever since his resurrection, he had devoted his study to the Primal True Solution and gained extraordinary insights.

At this instant, Shi Hao erupted with full force!

Around him, natural laws were densely packed, shining brilliantly, illuminating the void, as the Ten Cave Heavens appeared!

Back in the day, he had already opened them.

Now that he was reconstructing them, it naturally came to him effortlessly, the complete natural laws emerging.

However, this was not the main point; he aimed to climb to even greater heights.

Boom!

The next moment, Shi Hao made a breathtaking move.

The Ten Cave Heavens were burning; he was sacrificing his very being!

If anyone else had seen this, they would have been shocked, thinking him mad—was he no longer cherishing his own life?

“Let go, let…

go!”
Shi Hao whispered to himself.

This insight had long been with him; now, it was just resurfacing in his mind, clarifying his direction.

He knew what he was doing and harbored no regrets.

At this moment, he was validating the thoughts in his heart, fearlessly advancing in this audacious trial.

The Ten Cave Heavens blazed, offering up his body as a sacrifice, turning the area into a sea of light.

He was practically ceasing to exist.

In the end, the Ten Cave Heavens shattered, half-destroyed, and Shi Hao’s own body suffered severe damage, his vitality dried up, with his Divine Essence flowing away drastically.

However, a closer look would reveal that what he was sacrificing was not all of himself; more of it was the internal cave heavens derived from his chest.

In the past, when he opened the Ten Cave Heavens, he had also carved a small internal cave heaven due to the Supreme Bone.

Now, having discarded the Supreme Bone, that small internal cave heaven dimmed, and today he re-sacrificed it.

To “let go” meant to burn the Ten Cave Heavens, sacrificing this small internal cave heaven, for them to shatter and then merge.

During this process, the body, caught in the middle, inevitably suffered heavy blows, as if he were truly sacrificing himself—an extremely dangerous act.

“Crack!”
Eventually, a sound of fracturing echoed from within Shi Hao’s body.

He coughed up blood, staining the Medicine Cauldron red—the sign of internal cave heavens also fracturing.

“Let…

go!”
Shi Hao spoke softly, running the Bone Texts, connecting the Ten Cave Heavens, as well as fusing the broken internal cave heaven.

For anyone else to have reached this stage, they would have undoubtedly been ruined, as the painstakingly opened Ten Cave Heavens were splitting, nearly burnt out, completely self-sabotaged.

Shi Hao clenched his teeth and persisted, merging the half-destroyed Ten Cave Heavens with the internal cave heaven in his body, commencing recombination.

“Unify!”
Using the Bone Texts recorded in the Primal True Solution as “stitching”, he fused these shattered cave heavens, connecting them into one; his body shone luminously for a moment.

Subsequently, Shi Hao used his insights as the sea of fire to forge and temper, reopening the cave heavens!

Boom!

Sounds thundered, a cave heaven was glowing, like a piece of the Immortal Domain!

Standing here seemed to reveal divine lights and the sight of auspicious clouds ascending—all sorts of visions, that realm shrouded in mystery!

The Unique Cave Heaven, just this one!

The Ten Cave Heavens vanished, merging with the internal cave heaven, forming a terrifying, hazy “Immortal Domain”.

Shi Hao suddenly opened his eyes to find that the Medicine Cauldron had already been blasted away.

He sat in the void, the cauldron empty and dry, all medicinal properties absorbed completely, leaving only a few residues.

“The reconstruction is complete, the unique realm is achieved!”
Shi Hao whispered to himself, neither joyful nor sorrowful.

His body was clear and pure, his flesh crystal-clear, with endless essence pouring into his body through that cave heaven.

The injuries suffered from the sacrifice, the drained Innate Prime Essence, and more were rapidly replenishing, and after the replenishment, the Innate Essence continued to surge further into his flesh.

It was uncertain how much time passed, but Shi Hao glowed brilliantly as he descended to the ground.

The Unique Cave Heaven enveloped him, internally and externally lucid.

Feeling the changes within himself, his eyes shone with a breathtaking brilliance.

At this moment, his every move carried a touch of dao rhythm.

He wanted to feel it in the outside world, hoping to encounter a “Primordial” being to test himself against.

At this moment, he possessed the confidence of invincibility, an unparalleled air of ‘Who but me?’
