Perfect World

Chapter 664: Chapter 564: Perilous Ancient Land Chapter 664: Chapter 564: Perilous Ancient Land The mountainous region is vast, lush with vegetation, and some old trees are even taller than the mountains themselves, their enormous girth matched only by the glowing vines that hang from their branches.

Pure-blood Divine Birds build their nests above, with nests woven from silvergrass that shine brilliantly.

Titan serpents hundreds of yards long coil around the trees, flicking their forked tongues at the giant nests from time to time and emitting an extraordinarily terrifying sense of danger.

On the ground, thick layers of fallen leaves create fertile soil, where face-sized purple enormous spiders, silver centipedes over a meter long, and golden scorpions as tall as half a person sparkle and dart about occasionally.

This place is home to all sorts of creatures, incredibly dangerous, and one could meet with a fatal disaster if they inadvertently step into their domain.

Shi Hao and his grandfather traverse the woods, cautiously stepping on leaves several feet thick, and just now, while passing by an ancient cave, they disturbed a deity—a Toad spirit.

It was a toad spirit, only as big as a round table, but extremely dangerous, even more so than those creatures they encountered that could ignite divine flames.

Had they not been strong enough and quick to react, flitting through the mountains with lightning speed, they might have been devoured.

They suspect that it has transcended the Divine Fire Realm.

“Quack!”
Clearly, the toad spirit has not given up, still in pursuit.

The sound it emits is like thunder, making one’s blood and qi surge with unease.

Looking in the distance, they could see a golden toad perched atop a mountain.

It’s not very big, comparable to a round table.

It looked as though it was cast from gold, its entire body shimmering splendidly.

When it opened its gaping mouth, the croaking was agitating, louder than thunder.

“Hoo…”
A violent wind picks up as the toad opens its mouth wide, creating a hurricane-like force that snaps all sorts of ancient trees in the area and even uproots many, creating a terrifying scene.

This disturbs several titan serpents hundreds of yards long, as well as some pure-blood Divine Birds, all of which are displeased and soar into the sky.

Swish!

A bloody ribbon shoots up and in an instant, it wraps around them, disappearing into the mouth of the golden deity Toad.

That ribbon was its tongue.

“Venerable creatures and several titan serpents were eaten just like that?” Even demonic deities took a sharp intake of breath in shock.

Yet Shi Hao’s eyes glowed with intense heat, his theory gradually becoming affirmed, “This toad spirit has likely transcended the Divine Fire Realm, and the secret realm does not constrain its growth.”
He felt that over the long years, the rules of the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm had changed, allowing for stronger creatures to emerge.

Because he had sensed several times the presence of terrifying creatures in the mountain ranges and great lakes, which appeared and disappeared in a flash.

“If that’s really the case, let’s not leave.

We should cultivate here in this Minor Thousand World until we’re strong enough to find a way out,” Shi Hao clenched his fists.

Here, there is Divine Medicine, ancient insects, Divine Mines and so on, with resources aplenty, and the concentration of Spiritual Energy is even more intense than the outside world.

Moreover, it’s relatively safe without the worry of Sect Hierarchs pursuing them.

He had thought about this when he saw the Heavenly Demonic Blood Vine, feeling that its realm was too high and had surpassed the boundaries of the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm.

“Not necessarily,” the demonic deity shakes his head.

As per the original plan, they continue to collect various Spiritual Medicines, and to capture Silver Centipedes, Golden Scorpions, and other ancient rare insects.

These are precious ingredients for concocting precious medicine, and both the grandfather and grandson greatly need them.

Shi Hao nods, “In any case, let’s be careful.

Perhaps that toad spirit and other creatures of the secret realm might end up being the ultimate winners.”
This secret realm teems with spiritual creatures and the remnants of Divine Insects, all rare and valuable treasures in the outside world.

In Shi Hao’s Heaven and Earth Pouch, the old mountain herbs are piled up fragrantly, and within the cauldrons are teeming with various peculiar treasure insects, along with glowing Divine substances.

These reasons make him reluctant to leave.

Not long after, they reach a cluster of lakes and discover many traces, and to their surprise, they learn an astonishing piece of news.

The Bone Talisman that has emerged is a fake!

This is startling.

Some stayed back, searching among the broken beautiful mountains and the dried-up cluster of lakes for the remnants of weapons and divine objects.

“What a tragedy, some Primordials have been gravely injured, and some have been killed.”
“Human hearts are sinister!”
It appears to be a trap, with certain creatures intentionally spreading rumors and creating a Bone Talisman to incite killing and contention.

According to speculation, the individuals who orchestrated this from the shadows intended to provoke a dispute between the young adult from the Immortal Hall and the youth with the golden lamps hanging over their shoulders.

The ones in the shadows might fear these two and hope they would engage in an intense battle, preferably both sustaining injuries.

The first “Bone Talisman” is the most crucial, far exceeding the value of other talismans.

The first person to enter the heritage site of Primordial Heaven Supreme would gain the most fortune.

However, neither the young adult from the Immortal Hall nor the youth with the golden lamps could battle it out to the end.

Eventually, they parted ways, both chasing after other things and disappearing.

As a result, other Primordials came and a bloody battle ensued.

Some got severely injured, some used up one of their Death Substitution Talismans, having their lifespan cut short.

“How sly,” said Shi Hao.

“We should be careful,” the demonic deity nodded.

In terms of combat prowess alone, the two of them had no fear of others when together, but some tactics are difficult to guard against.

Just who set this trap is the topic of many discussions, and it’s difficult to determine right away.

Some believe that it’s either the young adult from the Immortal Hall or the youth with the golden lamps who set the trap, aiming to eliminate competing rivals.

Some even suggest that all this was done in preparation for a real blow against the Primordials!

Because, if a Primordial loses their Death Substitution Talisman and dares to re-enter the secret realm, should they die in battle, their death would be real.

Some speculate that it was the work of the original inhabitants of the secret realm.

“Who cares who it is, we fear nothing,” declared Shi Hao.

Two days later, the real Bone Talismans emerge, and suddenly six or seven appear, astonishing everyone and triggering a great battle.

Shi Hao and the demonic deity feel regretful for missing it, as they entered an ancient land to gather a rare Divine Medicine—the Golden Blood Grass.

“`
It is entirely golden and over a meter tall, with many leaves.

This is one of the main ingredients for refining the Vajra Elixir and the Undying Golden Body Liquid, and it is also highly valuable for bodily refinement without extraction.

Of course, the most important part is that if it’s added to Stone Village’s formula, its value increases significantly.

It could be used to refine one’s self and walk the path of achieving sainthood through the body.

“Missed out on the Bone Talisman, but at least no one has found the inheritance ground yet, and nobody has entered,” Shi Hao consoled himself.

“Opportunities will arise,” the demonic deity said.

After discussing, grandfather and grandson decided to take the initiative.

“True blood has appeared!”
“The Supreme Precious Blood of the Primordial Heaven Supreme has emerged!”
At this moment, from afar, a shout stirred everyone.

Deep within the cluster of lakes, blood light soared into the sky, auspicious clouds surged, and the scarlet light penetrated heaven and earth, making one wonder if there was a pool filled with Supreme Precious Blood there.

Legend has it that to enter the inheritance grounds, one must pass through the Immortal Pond, the site of Supreme nirvana.

Now, as blood light shot into the sky, it signaled that someone might have found the place, about to unlock the treasure trove!

Many were drawn by the sound, causing a commotion.

When grandfather and grandson arrived, some had already entered deep within.

In the center of the lake was an island shrouded in immortal mist, radiant with divine monkey’s blood and, moreover, a flashing symbol gate shined splendidly there.

“The inheritance grounds!” someone exclaimed.

“Could someone else have thought of the same thing as us?” Shi Hao muttered to himself, exchanging glances with the demonic deity, both revealing surprise.

“The true blood is real!” someone found a crystal, calling out as such.

Within it, a drop of true blood was sealed, and near the light gate, more crystals glowed with scarlet light.

Many peoples’ eyes turned red as they rushed over.

Among them, two Primordials were the quickest, scooping up a few crystals and without delay, entered the light gate.

“Ah, they’re the ones who got the Bone Talisman and entered the inheritance grounds!”
Seeing this, many felt their hearts turn cold, finding it hard to accept.

The first to rush in meant the greatest fortune would likely be theirs.

Some people were so disappointed they beat their chests and stamped their feet; entering the secret realm, what they wanted most was the inheritance of this place, yet someone had gotten there ahead of them!

Suddenly, the entire island lit up, covered in characters, and then a murderous aura swept over the sky, spreading out from the light gate.

“Pfft!”
On the island, over a dozen people exploded instantly, their white bones splattered with blood, scattering in all directions, a sight too gruesome to behold.

Others were seriously injured, suffering unimaginable blows and quickly retreating far from the island.

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Could opening the inheritance grounds be so dangerous?

Even those outside were affected, chilling to the bone.

“Let’s go take a look!”
While everyone else was retreating, Shi Hao opened his cave and the demonic deity protected themselves with black and white energies.

They braved the weakening runes and forcefully landed on the island.

At that moment, they witnessed a shocking sight, approaching the light gate to find it led to a stunning killing formation.

Two Primordials were bloody and indistinct; one of them was killed on the spot.

He died with his eyes wide open, never having seen who his opponent was.

He was completely slain by the terrifying array, a ghastly sight.

His body torn apart, eventually reduced to a pile of bloody mud, his pearly white bones exploded, showering blood everywhere.

He roared furiously, incomprehensible in his anger, until his death, wrapped by a Beast Fang Life Talisman, disappearing from this place.

He was the first to enter the “inheritance grounds,” but met such a fate.

The other Primordial was covered in wounds; even his forehead was split open, one could imagine the extent of his injuries.

He was slower entering the gate and thus survived with severe injuries.

He staggered out, face ashen.

Meanwhile, inside the space beyond the light gate, a young man appeared, looking to be sixteen or seventeen years old, smiling happily.

He picked up the “Bone Talisman” left by the first Primordial, tucking it into his chest.

Shi Hao and the demonic deity were hiding not far away, exchanging looks, both shocked.

Was all this the doing of a young boy?

“Hmm, I have finally obtained a Bone Talisman as well,” the boy seemed about Shi Hao’s age, with a baby face, plump, talking to himself as such.

“It was you…” The second Primordial just left the light gate, seeing this scene, how could he not understand what was happening.

Both he and the deceased Primordial were outwitted.

Someone deliberately lured them in, all to seize a Bone Talisman.

“I will hack you to pieces!” the Primordial was furious and humiliated, priding himself as a young Supreme of his clan.

Yet he fell into another’s trap and nearly died, which was a disgrace.

The young man’s face was round, chubby, truly like a big apple.

Now his face was flushed, looking timid, he said, “Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Go to hell!” The second Primordial was about to take action.

ƝοѵǤօ.ƈο

“In that case, I shall send you on your way,” the boy spoke softly, eyes shining, moving forward.

Suddenly, he stopped, looking towards where Shi Hao and his companion were hidden, showing caution, mumbling to himself, and then timidly said with a smile, “When brothers meet, let’s share equally.

This remaining Bone Talisman is for you guys.”
With that, he did not hesitate, quickly turning and stepping onto a previously arranged transport formation, disappearing from the place.

“The little rascal is really alert, very cautious,” the demonic deity noted.

Shi Hao was speechless.

This guy was a tough character, and their thoughts coincided.

Originally, he and the demonic deity had discussed setting up a fake situation to become proactive and kill their enemy, snatching a Bone Talisman.

But as soon as they had that thought, the emergence of the Supreme true blood occurred.

The ancient land was proving to be increasingly treacherous, competition fierce, and any slight carelessness could lead to death.

Now, everyone was showing their hand, all just to increase their chances.

“This is also good!” Shi Hao was fearless and even his eyes shone brightly.

Countless ships racing on the river, the battle for Primordial supremacy, and the brightest sparks are struck when everyone joined hands.

He was eyeing the Jin Lie from the Sun God Vine and also the fierce Primordial level Divine Birds and Ferocious Beasts.

The former was undoubtedly comparable to Divine Medicine, and the latter’s blood was so precious it was unimaginable.

“Bring it on, looking forward to the grand battle!” Shi Hao revealed a mouthful of pearly white teeth, seemingly craving for chaos.
