Chapter 1405 - 1402: The Treasure Chest Quest

This is the second time Foreign Ghosts have appeared, the first time they destroyed half of the Snowy Shadow Domain, shocking the Shanhai Realm.

After the event, the happenings inside the Secret Realm were also exposed, leaving everyone with a heavy heart.

The battle inside the Secret Realm was unprecedented, with countless people tragically dying in it.

The Realm Saint Expert from Luanxing Sea, Luan Yuntu, has also disappeared.

Two Realm Saint Experts have died as well.

Fang Yitian suffered severe injuries, escaping in disgrace.

This battle ended in utter defeat.

The First Ghost's target, the Reincarnation Flower, was taken and brought out of the Secret Realm by the Foreign Ghosts, leaving everyone puzzled about the ghosts' intentions.

Aside from Qing Mo's intense focus, there was another top-tier hero, Old Corpse.

It's said he's the descendant of Ji Wukong, shocking everyone, and Old Corpse also obtained the Extreme Yang Soldier inside the Secret Realm and battled Qing Mo.

The battle between Old Corpse and Qing Mo was one that other Realm Saints couldn't intervene in; they had no choice but to flee the scene.

Nonetheless, Qing Mo still succeeded.

The powerful First Ghost became a nightmare for everyone.

Old Corpse also disappeared without a trace, with some Realm Saints concluding he didn't fall; he left after Qing Mo's success.

The entire Shanhai Realm's attention was on the Foreign Ghosts, and countless discussions ensued.

Some speculated that this was not the real form of the Foreign Ghosts, and the First Ghost was merely a clone; yet even such a clone instilled fear in many.

If the true form were to appear, who could withstand it?

The Shanhai Alliance decided to battle the Foreign Ghosts to the end, refusing to allow darkness to cause catastrophe again, beginning the assembly to track the Foreign Ghosts' whereabouts.

Of course, aside from the reports on the Foreign Ghosts, some other reports attracted attention.

Apart from Old Corpse, Reincarnation Flower, and other heroes, there was a small figure who entered the public eye.

That person is Chu Hao.

The chaos Chu Hao caused in the Secret Realm was exposed on the Shanhai Platform, leaving countless people astonished; although he is merely at the Heavenly Master Realm, he performed feats that even Emperor Realm Heroes couldn't rival.

A daring assassination of a Realm Saint, only he dared, only he could achieve it.

Another report propelled Chu Hao's fame to the highest point, alongside the Realm Saints present on the battlefield at the time.

Another Foreign Ghost was scared away by Chu Hao?

Many were baffled; this Foreign Ghost feared a Heavenly Master realm human? Is it a joke?

Later, someone revealed that the Foreign Ghost had previously been killed once by Chu Hao, which occurred within the Sin Abyss.

Just how terrifying are the Foreign Ghosts?

One look at the First Ghost is enough to understand.

Chu Hao managed to strike fear in the Foreign Ghosts, causing them to flee at the sight of him?

Who else can accomplish this?

Chu Hao's fame was instantly thrust to the highest point, surpassing all emerging young talents during this period, overshadowing them entirely.

"Ding... Pretentiousness succeeded, gained 80,000 Pretentiousness Points."

"Ding... Pretentiousness succeeded, gained 80,000 Pretentiousness Points."

"Ding..."

The Flowing Cloud Crane Flying Boat traveled for a day, about to reach its destination.

Chu Hao, hearing the continuous prompt of Pretentiousness Points, was bewildered, asking the System to learn that his fame had grown immensely; the incident where he scared away the White Demon was exposed, shocking the world, hence unintentionally being pretentious again.

Fame is indeed a good thing.

Chu Hao quickly logged into the Shanhai Platform to check Old Corpse's information.

Seeing that Old Corpse merely left, he felt relaxed.

Immediately after, he discovered he was on the Shanhai Platform's bounty list.

Turns out, someone issued a bounty of fifty thousand Yangyuan Stones for him.

The bounty issuer was Cloud Sea Pavilion, Xihe Region, and Fire Nation, jointly issuing the bounty.

They emphasized that they wanted him alive.

No dead bodies, only living ones, otherwise the bounty could not be claimed.

Chu Hao sneered, saying, "So devoted to capturing me, truly putting in the effort."

Chu Hao responded, "For those putting out a bounty on me, mark my words, wait and see."

Chu Hao's fame continued to grow, letting countless people know; among the younger generation, who had fame comparable to his?

"Ding... Nationwide shock, Pretentiousness succeeded, gained 80,000 Pretentiousness Points."

As the fame spread, Chu Hao accumulated a total of 800,000 Pretentiousness Points, quite a harvest.

"Ding... Fame and noise, consecutively gained Pretentiousness Points, System awards Fame and Noise title."

Title: Fame and Noise

Effect: The bigger the fame, the more frequent the consecutive Pretentiousness Point gains.

Chu Hao was pleased; this title is quite nice and can trigger consecutive pretentious actions as long as fame is widespread.

Pretentious Young King: Chu Hao

Strength: Yin and Yang Grand Master (Fulfilled Realm)

Level: 8

Experience Points: 630 million / 900 million

Pretentiousness Points: 3.16 million

Merit Points: Zero

Strength: Fulfilled Heavenly Master Realm (Third Shackles)

Treasure Chest: Diamond King Treasure Chest*1

Physique: Unparalleled Tyrant Body

Chu Hao rubbed his hands, eagerly saying, "System, open the treasure chest."

A Diamond King Treasure Chest, this was his first, supposedly the best among King-Level Treasure Chests.

Chu Hao hoped to obtain the Saint Master Umbrella, so he could complete the Sage Suit.

"Ding... Open Diamond King Treasure Chest, gained one special mission."

Chu Hao looked puzzled, opening a treasure chest could also award a mission, this was a first for him.

Special Mission: Shadow in the Ancient Tomb

Mission Description: Head to Cloud Sea Tomb, liberate Hai Mingyue.

Mission Completion: Gain 230 million Experience Points.

Mission Completion: Gain 10 million Merit Points.

Mission Completion: Heart of Hai Mingyue.

Hint: (This mission can be abandoned, failure upon acceptance leads to Host losing one level)

Hint: (This mission tests Host's pretentious response ability, stronger when facing strength, stronger still when facing weakness)

Indeed a very special mission; acceptance requires completion, failing would result in a loss of one level.

Chu Hao pondered, ultimately deciding to accept this mission.

"Accept."

"Ding... Accepted special mission, Shadow in the Ancient Tomb."

Chu Hao checked the location of Cloud Sea Tomb, discovering it was close to their destination at Cloud Sea Pavilion.

"Could it be this coincidental?"

Perhaps this mission and his destination were the same place.

Chu Hao asked the toad if they were heading to Cloud Sea Tomb, and the toad confirmed, "Indeed."

The reward is exceptionally high; the key is what exactly is the Heart of Hai Mingyue? Perhaps it is the actual prize?

Chu Hao couldn't help but feel a little anticipation.

Two days later, the Flowing Cloud Crane had flown tens of thousands of kilometers, finally arriving near Cloud Sea Pavilion.

Cloud Sea Pavilion was located in a seaside city where people live by fishing, with all kinds of living food resources coming from the sea.

The leader of this city is Cloud Sea Pavilion.

Cloud Sea Pavilion has also been recognized by the Shanhai Alliance, earning Silver Level power recognition.

However, it hasn't been doing well these past years because the Cloud Sea Saint was in long periods of retreat, neglecting affairs, causing many to think the Cloud Sea Saint was dead, leaving Cloud Sea Pavilion hovering between Silver Level and Iron Level.

But now things are different; the Cloud Sea Saint has returned, bringing Cloud Sea Pavilion back to Silver Level power status.

In the Shanhai Realm, the classification of powers is important; many are merely Iron Level, with the Iron Level standard being possession of one or more Yin Yang Emperor Realms.

Silver Level must have one Realm Saint.

After Silver Level comes Gold Level, such as the Fire Nation and Xihe Region, which are major Gold Level powers.
