The exit of the secret realm, amid astonished cries, clamor, and heated discussions, Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged in the void expressionless, his eyes profoundly deep.
Yet, everyone felt a chill, icy cold to the bone, as if a metallic spear tip was resting against their backs, raising goosebumps all over.
The other Sect Hierarchs all revealed unusual expressions, their pupils as if harboring flowing star rivers, vast and boundless, filled with silent yet destructive auras that inspired fear.
“Which ancient school’s descendent is this, acting so recklessly?” an old lady dressed in a golden Vestment robe spoke.
She was a Golden Luan, sitting cross-legged there with even her pupils shimmering golden.
Even several titans had ripples in their hearts, though outwardly they seemed still as boulders, with primal chaos mist faintly entwined around their bodies, creating a subtle atmosphere.
Could it be one of the few ancient lineages with hidden disciples from the legends?
But if it were their disciples, they should have notified someone; how could they not greet the host of this place?
Those few lineages were fearsome, and this matter brought shock and suspicion.
“No matter who he is, he has to come out eventually,” Zi Meng spoke up, his small withered form vague in the void, quiet as a boulder, an Archaic Ancestor of the Hou Race.
His words were plain, yet they instilled fear, making it clear that once the person from the secret realm emerged, everyone would be subject to scrutiny, with no place to hide.
Being a ferocious being that lived from the primordial era to this age, should he truly make a move, no matter who it was, they would quail!
Qin Changsheng exhaled Innate Prime Essence from his mouth and nose, his eyes cold and heartless.

He saw this as a challenge to his authority, demanding an explanation.
Many Deities from the Qin Clan who entered the secret realm were murdered, like a resounding slap to the face, echoing loudly as it struck the faces of everyone in Immortal Mountain.
Whoever it was, as long as they stepped out of the secret realm, they must be thoroughly investigated; the young demon king could not escape!
A piercing murderous intent permeated the area, making everyone shiver, as the temperature of the entire world plummeted—the embodiment of Immortal Heavenly Venerate’s mood!
He harbored a blaze of anger, feeling it was a disgrace to him.
The crowd discussed animatedly, this matter was destined to spread across all states; the young demon king—desolate, was bound to become infamous among the schools.
Deep within the secret realm, Nine Sacred Mountains.
The great battle had ended, tranquility restored.
Everyone returned to the palaces to contemplate the experience and understanding left by Primordial Heaven Supreme.
At the sixth Sacred Mountain, the Qin Clan’s people retreated.
The demonic deity continued to sit in meditation, contemplating.
Shi Hao, however, was wandering around, causing the remaining creatures to become anxious, on high alert.
Having already understood the experiences and insights, he did not need to continue in seclusion.
Purple vapors billowed on the mountain, old mountain herbs perfumed the air.
Shi Hao stepped out of the palace, finding a Spiritual Spring shrouded in spiritual mist, and began to prepare ingredients.
Wielding a Divine-grade Artifact—bone shears, he skillfully slaughtered a Purple Gold Zhen Biao, opening its belly and skinning it, its blood luminous and rich with essence.
Many onlookers were stunned, their eyes widening at this scene.
ƝօνǤօ.сο
What was he doing?
“Oh my, a young standout of the Purple Gold Zhen Biao clan just slaughtered like that?
It looks like he is treating it as a wild beast, to be eaten!”
Onlookers were dumbfounded.
The Hou Race was terrifying, especially this individual who was a leading figure of the young generation, now reduced to food.
Shi Hao worked swiftly, cleaning and peeling, the meat glistening, emitting purple mist and surging with auspicious vapors, bloodline pure of the direct Hou lineage.
“The quality of the meat is indisputably good.”
He adeptly dissected the Zhen Biao, leaving only four glowing legs, and placed the resplendent meat chunks into a Purple Bone Cauldron, adding some Spiritual Spring water, ready for stewing.
“If I’m going to eat, I might as well enjoy it thoroughly; I won’t leave the other one untouched,” Shi Hao murmured to himself.
Soon after, people’s eyes widened once more, looking utterly shocked, as they saw him pluck the feathers and slit open a Scarlet-Feathered Crane, draining the blood, cleaning it by the banks of the Spiritual Spring.
“My heavens, that’s a Divine Spirit who has also fallen to this fate!”
The crowd was speechless, as another formidable entity from the Fire Demon Palace was reduced to food, to be cooked and turned into a delicacy for this young demon king.
“It had ignited its Divine Fire, yet now it has become food for someone else!”
The crowd’s expressions were as strange as strange could be—this was madness!
“`
“I haven’t eaten gods before.” Shi Hao mused to himself.
His bone knife flipped skillfully as he reserved a pair of crane wings and legs, while dismantling the other parts and tossing them into the purple bone cauldron; the meat shimmered with a glowing light.
“Such a fine thing.” He began to stoke his inner sea of fire for cooking, to stew this pot of glowing meat and bones.
How formidable Shi Hao was, now in the Venerable Realm, the flame he conjured was scorchingly hot, quickly bringing the water in the cauldron to a boil.
Radiant auspicious vapors spewed forth, bursting with brilliance.
And there was an alluring fragrance emanating, making one’s mouth water incessantly.
The meat in the cauldron was too special, crystal-clear and tender, sparkling brightly, hardly resembling food but more like a treasure emitting a dazzling luster.
“How fragrant!”
Shi Hao was utterly indulged, shutting his eyes and taking a deep breath.
For ordinary people, this would be considered immortal meat, one bite could extend their life; to him, it was nonetheless potent nourishment for the flesh, given that it was being stewed from purebred Zhen Biao and Divine Spirits!
The intoxicating fragrance and the splendid glow spread and made everyone else also impulsively swallow mouthfuls of saliva.
People knew, this cauldron of precious meat had an astonishing medicinal effect!
“It needs to be thoroughly stewed to achieve the finest texture!” Shi Hao said to himself.
Then he began to prepare the four leopard Hou legs and the crystalline wings of the Scarlet-Feathered Cranes, placing them over the flame to start roasting.
“Um, truly aromatic!”
Shi Hao’s eyes sparkled as he roasted the Hou legs and crane wings to a golden-brown luster, rich in fragrance.
Droplets of fat fell into the flames, sizzling audibly.
Soon, everyone was speechless.
As Cultivators, it was astonishing that this fellow even had honey on him, which he applied adroitly to the golden crane wings and Hou legs.
Is this really a Primordial being?
This looks more like a foodie!
“Grandpa, let’s eat while we discuss the insights and understandings left behind by the Primeval Supremes,” Shi Hao called out to his grandfather.
“Alright!” the demonic deity responded heartily and very generously, taking out several jars of strong liquor, breaking open the clay seals, and instantly the aroma of wine filled the air, intoxicating those who smelled it.
“Excellent, to eat meat in great bites and to drink wine in huge bowls, this is truly satisfying.” Shi Hao chuckled heartily.
The aroma in this place was overwhelmingly rich; the concoction in the bone cauldron was bubbling, the meat was fully stewed, and the glow was chaotic.
Shi Hao took out a piece to taste, and he exclaimed with delight, the flavor intense and savory.
“After adding some seasoning, I think the taste will be even more exquisite, enough to melt one’s tongue.”
Shi Hao took out a Divine Vine radiating golden light, its broken end dripping golden juice that carried a refreshing scent; it was none other than the Sun God Vine.
Regrettably, he was unable to obtain any precious symbols from this plant as the runes crumbled away on their own.
“Although this species isn’t a herb, it’s still a rare plant brimming with spiritual nature; its medicinal properties are probably not weaker than Divine Medicine!” The demonic deity commented.
Without hesitation, Shi Hao tossed the golden Divine Vine into the cauldron to stew together.
The crowd was stupefied, never having heard of such a method of consumption.
The Sun God Vine was such a powerful species, yet it had been reduced to a mere seasoning, treated like a medicinal plant!
“Alright, let’s dig in!”
The grandfather and grandson duo feasted with huge enjoyment.
One held a roasted golden and glistening crane wing, oil dripping from their mouths as they ate, followed by a large bowl of strong liquor, repeatedly exclaiming in ecstasy.
Everyone was speechless.
Was this still about competing and adventuring in a secret realm?
It seemed more like a picnic, and these two were going too far.
“Grandpa, try the meat that is stewing in the cauldron.
After adding the Sun God Vine, the flavor is unspeakably delicious.”
Shi Hao savored with his eyes closed, then with a gulp, downed another large bowl of wine.
The pores all over his body exhaled essence as a halo encircled him.
Because this cauldron of nourishing meat was overly replenishing for him.
Its medicinal potency was way too formidable, after all, it contained a Divine Spirit, Divine Medicine, and the pure blood of the Zhen Biao.
“”
The demonic deity was the same, with each pore exuding dazzling rosy light, wrapped in characters.
“This kind of eating is a bit wasteful.
It’s better to add some spiritual medicine and other ingredients to concoct a cauldron of sacred divine medicine to cultivate and reshape the secret realm,” Shi Hao said.
Because the medicinal properties were too intense, just adding some herbs would definitely make a cauldron of rare precious medicine.
“Good, it should be so,” Lord Fifteen nodded.
Soon, Shi Hao was continuously adding spiritual medicines into the cauldron, left and right, such as Golden Ginseng, Scarlet Jade Lotus, and Purple Gold Mushrooms, all thrown into the cauldron to stew together.
The medicine’s liquid was crystal clear, its rosy light soared to the sky, presenting astonishing phenomena.
As the grandfather and grandson drank strong liquor, ate divine spirit meat, and sipped on the medicinal soup, this place was momentarily drowned in holy light, accompanied by fragrant scent and characters, incredibly astonishing.
At the same time, they were also discussing the experience and insights left by the Primeval Supreme.
Everyone was dumbfounded—weren’t they afraid of over-nourishment?
There were way too many divine substances!
Of course, many people were also envious.
This was too extravagant and unreasonable; who else could do such a thing?
At the foot of the Sacred Mountain, a palm-sized bunny arrived, its body snow-white and crystalline, with eyes red as diamonds, its nose twitching as it smelled the fragrance of the medicine on its way up the mountain.
It saw the various precious medicines in the cauldron, and the Sun God Vine, and its fiery red eyes suddenly widened.
“So many yummy things, why cook the divine medicine?
It should be eaten raw!” It was indignant, staring with wide eyes.
Then, it saw the meat in the cauldron and instantly jumped high, retreating continuously, patting its little chest, saying, “Too scary, the villain who eats meat!”
“Little Bunny, you’re here too, do you want to eat the Sun God Vine?” Shi Hao naturally noticed it and spoke to tempt.
The Taiyin Jade Rabbit sulked; it really wanted to eat that golden divine vine, which was greatly beneficial to it, but it had already been cooked with the meat, which made it conflicted.
“Come on, give it a try.”
“I don’t want to eat it!”
“This is good stuff.
You are the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, and supplementing with the essence of the sun will greatly benefit you,” Shi Hao chuckled.
The Little Bunny was conflicted.
“Try a bite, and I guarantee your cultivation will progress,” Shi Hao persuaded gently.
“I’m a vegetarian!”
…
However, half an hour later, the snow-white Little Bunny, with its big red eyes, couldn’t help but try the first bite, and then it became tongue-tied.
“How is it?” Shi Hao asked.
“Tastes strange,” the snow-white Jade Rabbit murmured.
“That’s the flavor.
Try another bite.” Shi Hao chuckled, passing it a curled golden vine leaf.
“The taste is okay, just…a bit odd.” As it said this, the Little Bunny’s eyes widened as it saw the golden leaf actually curled around some meat strands, which it had…
eaten more than half of!
“Ah, I’m going to kill you!” the Little Bunny screamed, eyes bright red.
“Don’t start, you ate it willingly.
Didn’t you just eat it happily?” Shi Hao laughed loudly.
“Oh my, I’ve eaten meat, oh my, I’ve eaten meat…” The Little Bunny, with red eyes, shouted and jumped, repeating those words over and over.
…
Yet, to everyone’s speechless amazement, an hour later, the place had one more bunny, tipsy and foggy, hugging a jug of wine, burping, and competing with Shi Hao and the others for the meat.
“Oops, the meat is really delicious, so fragrant!” The bunny was eating meat!
“It’s over, such an innocent little bunny…has just degenerated,” someone said, hand on their temple.
“You wish, do you have any idea who that is?
The Taiyin Jade Rabbit, ridiculously powerful, so stop feeling sorry for it.”
Shi Hao and the young demon king were also speechless.
Originally, they intended to tease Little Bunny, but in the end, the critter got drunk and fought with them for meat.
Luckily, the partnership of Zhen Biao and a Divine Spirit was more than enough for their consumption.
It was quite an amusing scene, Little Bunny throwing a drunken fit, hopping around in chaos, nearly falling into the cauldron to be cooked.
In the end, Shi Hao ignored it and after eating enough precious medicine, started meditating to rebuild his Formation Arrangement Realm, glowing all over.
The demonic deity did the same, assimilating the medicinal efficacy and resuming cultivation.
They weren’t worried about enemies attacking since they could awake at any moment.
Back then, to counter the Seven Gods, Shi Hao took a Minor Nirvana Pill, breaking through from the Formation Arrangement Realm to the Venerable Realm.
He had always wanted to revisit and solidify his foundation in that realm.
After his resurrection, he had pondered and studied thoroughly, already comprehending all the profundities of this realm.
Now reconstructing it was like water flowing into a channel, extraordinarily smooth!
In the Engravement Realm, he had the Bone Text of the Primal True Solution branded into his flesh, and upon reaching the Formation Arrangement Realm, he etched the Myriad Spirits Diagram within his body, corresponding to this realm.
His own insights were not to be missed either!
Moreover, other symbols such as Kun Peng’s technique and the karma loop were also manifested, blending with flesh and bones, which was astounding.
The chubby Cao Yusheng had the third killing formation from the higher realms etched within him, its power immense.
Shi Hao felt that etching the Myriad Spirits Diagram along with the previous Bone Text of the Primal True Solution would likely not be a disadvantage in the long run and could perhaps turn the decay into something miraculous.
Of course, after entering the Venerable Realm and the Divine Fire Realm, he would continue to etch arrays inside his body.
It wouldn’t be too late to also inscribe an ancient killing formation predating the creation of the world when the time came.
Boom!
At last, Shi Hao’s meritorious work was complete.
He had rebuilt all the major realms he practiced, achieving perfect completion.
Since he had only recently stepped into the Venerable Realm, he could progress slowly and steadily.
Amidst the crackling sound, he was radiant all over, and his entire being was bright and flawless, even more ethereal and closer to an Immortal.
However, every time his eyes opened and closed, divine light surged, revealing a powerful aura.
Still as a True Immortal, dynamic as a devil God, it was a strong and mysterious aura that continued to grow, making him appear even more profound.
Lord Fifteen had already awoken and opened his eyes.
Both of them laughed.
Little Bunny, drunken and disheveled, lay sprawled on the ground with a liquor jar pressing on its body, completely undignified and a horrific drunken sight.
“This bunny, boiling it into a pot of soup would be enough,” Shi Hao joked.
Hearing what he said, Little Bunny was extremely alert.
It flipped up at once, its eyes red as it gnashed its teeth.
Following that, the demonic deity sorted out the insights left by the Primordial Heaven Supreme.
Time passed quickly, and after two days the Nine Holy Mountains shone brightly, emitting the sound of the road, and many people disappeared from this place.
“We were given five days to gain insight.
Those who qualified have been teleported to the highest hall,” someone exclaimed.
Most people were left in this place, and relatively few succeeded in passing the test to enter the highest hall!
On the sixth Sacred Mountain, Shi Hao, Lord Fifteen, and Little Bunny succeeded and were teleported into an ancient hall shrouded in chaotic mist.
As soon as he entered, Shi Hao was shaken.
The golden paper in his possession heated up, with thunder hidden within it, electrocuting him until he was numb!
“Sure enough, there’s a mysterious second part here, this is definitely a kind of supreme forbidden technique!” he affirmed.
