Perfect World

Chapter 1854 - Hundred Shattering Mountains

Shi Hao rested a few days in the village, the main reason because his parents and clan chief were here. He had left for so long, so how could these people be at ease? It hadn’t been long since he returned, yet he was going out again.

In the village, at first, he felt a bit unnatural, because he saw Yun Xi. She was still like before, calm and at ease, carrying a faint aloofness.

After all these years, she was still the same, waiting in Stone Village, never having any thoughts of leaving.

Yun Xi came here to take care of Shi Hao, even after he was crippled by the ruined immortal in the higher realm, she was still willing to follow him into this impoverished lower realm, willing to take care of him during his remaining years.

Later on, they got married, but it was because Shi Hao was thinking of a way to achieve the dao, wanted to cut off his past, display his sincere convictions, forget about some past memories.

Shi Hao had a sense of shame, feeling like he didn’t treat Yun Xi well. He encountered several women in his life, yet the one who followed at his side, was only this one.

Regardless of the reasons, regardless of what happened, he shouldn’t let Yun Xi down.

“She is a woman who, even when she knew you were going to become a cripple, was willing to come with you into the lower realms, never leave you, take care of your ruined self. You need to treat her well.” This was what clan chief Shi Yunfeng said to him seriously many years ago.

In this world, perhaps the old clan chief was the one who left Shi Hao with the deepest impression. He was the one who raised Shi Hao, the reason why there was the current Shi Hao, he was single-handedly brought up by him.

“Yun Xi, if you are willing, in the future, we will be true husband and wife, true dao companions.” Shi Hao looked at Yun Xi, quietly saying this.

There was no one nearby. Yun Xi was baffled, her intelligent eyes brilliant. She was a bit speechless. After all these years, she actually heard Shi Hao say this.

Back then, he had also spoken flirty words, but that was just the teasing of a youngster who chased after vicious beasts, always made a racket about eating roasted meat, so how could she treat them seriously?

It really was rare for him to be this serious. At the very least, when Yun Xi was together with him, he hadn’t seriously promised much.

Yun Xi’s eyes turned a bit red, not saying anything.

“To have you beside me throughout this journey, thank you!” Shi Hao said. He gently embraced her, and then turned around to leave. He was making preparations, about to bring those vigorous and energetic youngsters to fight.

He told them what to be mindful of, carefully warning them. After all, this was their first real combat experience, there might be danger to their lives.

“Remember, in real battles, flesh dying and dao vanishing are a common occurrence. Today’s brothers might become a pile of bones tomorrow. Without experiencing the baptism of blood and flames, you all can only be considered bean sprouts in a greenhouse, you won’t be able to become heaven reaching great trees!”

They went on their way. Shi Ziling and his wife didn’t stop them, they wouldn’t interfere with Shi Hao’s decision. It was because they knew that their child had already grown up, now already a supreme being, a level far exceeding their imaginations. He had to consider his choices himself.

The Zhuyan also followed along, wishing to see what the legendary Hundred Shattering Mountains would look like, quite interested.

It was because it heard that there was a monkey inside that was quite extraordinary. Hairy Ball wanted to see what kind of species it was.

This was a strange land, a sealed ancient small world. When one entered, their cultivation level would be suppressed, difficult to exceed the limit.

This place would only open up once after every certain period of time.

Back then, when Shi Hao entered, he was still just a small cultivator. He was at the Heavenly Passage Realm, too many things happened there. He got to know Huo Ling’er, met Yun Xi, and the others.

“Uncle, could it be that you want us to fight with the other creatures at Heavenly Passage or Spirit Transformation Realm?”

“Big bro, aren’t the cultivation levels of the creatures inside just a bit too low?”

This was a group of fellas who went through many experiences, feeling like this place couldn’t really test their cultivation results.

“This place can suppress the cultivation of those who enter, meaning that it was definitely created by some extraordinary being in the past. The reason why I am having you go out and explore yourselves is to search for the deepest secrets of this realm, and not only to deal with some creatures inside.” Shi Hao said.

Moreover, once these people’s cultivation levels were suppressed, when they entered, they might not necessarily have it that easy. A bloody battle at lower levels was also a type of experience.

It still wasn’t time for the Hundred Shattering Mountains to open. The small world here would only open once every so often, it normally wouldn’t reveal itself to the world.

Shi Hao stood in place. He carefully watched, and then took action. He forcefully undid the seal, his current self at the Supreme Being Realm had this type of ability.

“En, the methods of a supreme being?” He was shocked. This small world was related to a supreme being, the result of someone at this level.

Kacha!

In the mountains, a streak of black lightning rushed out, incredibly great, cutting through this world. The void collapsed, a small world then appearing.

At the same time, endless white mist appeared, quickly surging, engulfing everyone like a tide, sweeping through all of them.

“What is going on?!”

Those youngsters were all shocked, but they didn’t panic. They completed their battlefield preparations, some of them actually already cultivated Heavenly Eyes. They really were excellent seeds, shockingly talented.

The entrance appeared. They moved in with the mist, entering this small world.

Spiritual essence surged. The effect of the Cultivationless Age on this place was a bit less, likely because of the seal having a set amount of use.

The skies were all white like snow. Dandelion seeds scattered about with the wind, carrying bits of radiance. The snow-white colored seeds danced about everywhere.

Shi Hao’s mind immediately sunk. He sensed a different type of atmosphere. This small world had some issues, different from his experience back then.

However, he didn’t say anything, standing in the very back, watching how these young men and women behaved.

These youngsters didn’t disappoint him. After all, some of them were born in the most cruel Desolate Border, witnessed life and death in the original Imperial Pass.

Some of them, when they followed him into the lower realms, already formed their memories, knew how to cultivate, the bitterness of Desolate Border forever engraved into their bones.

“Be careful, don’t let these seeds touch you, be careful!” Someone shouted.

“The natural laws here are powerful, but it hasn’t suppressed our cultivation levels. It’s different from what Big Brother Shi said, something happened, we have to face it carefully!”

…

Even without Shi Hao’s reminder, these people all became on guard on their own, reminding each other, facing their surroundings seriously. They all had sharp intuition, sensing that this place was unusual.

Wu wu…

A roaring sound could be heard, as if a ghost was crying. Snow-white dandelion seeds flew about everywhere, attacking these youngsters. Silver radiance flickered about, the snow wool-like seeds becoming incredibly sharp, wishing to penetrate everyone’s flesh, take root inside.

Hong!

Raging flames burned the skies. These youngsters used their powerful true flames, burning the sky dome red, igniting all of the seeds.

Pu!

However, there were still some who were weaker that were attacked by the seeds, which then pierced into their flesh. The seeds instantly spread their roots, sucking out their flesh essence, wishing to be born through this, strengthen themselves.

“Monster, you dare!”

The most powerful ones moved at almost the same time, rushing over, striking towards the ones who were weaker, helping them force out the seeds, moreover burn away the venomous blood.

“Get into formation, kill all of them!”

Several people stood out, ordering their comrades. In an instant, this place divided into several groups of people, each one having a hundred people.

They didn’t panic, their arrangement orderly. Every single one of them carried astonishing killing intent, forming a battle formation, and then pressed forward.

Shi Hao nodded. These youngsters weren’t bad. They lacked practical experience, but didn’t panic, all of them were pliable elites.

As they continued deeper inside, white bones were everywhere, the atmosphere lifeless. There was actually not a single running individual, extremely terrifying, as if they entered hell itself.

There were plants and spiritual essence, but there were no vicious beasts, no vicious birds. This was different from Shi Hao’s past experiences!

“What is going on? Everything has died, white bones everywhere, who did this? Was it all because of these strange dandelions?” The big red bird cried out. Back then, it also came here, this was precisely where Shi Hao captured it and brought it back.

When they headed in further, they found that all of the vicious beasts and birds died, many massive white bones, as well as rotting bird feathers could be seen. The only common point was that the flesh and blood essence had all been completely devoured.

“Don’t panic! If we see gods, we’ll kill gods, if we see devils, we’ll kill devils!”

The youngsters’ leaders were all extremely calm. They walked at the very front, remaining extremely cool headed, not scared at all.

“Demonic Cattail Tree!”

Shi Hao recalled this name. In the past, he had previously encountered a powerful enemy in the Hundred Shattering Mountains, precisely the Demonic Cattail Tree’s descendant. At that time, the world only had that single stalk.

In that battle, he used up extremely great strength before finally defeating it, leaving it injured.

When he left the Hundred Shattering Mountains, the Demonic Cattail Tree didn’t come out, staying behind alone, taking root in this small world.

“Is it that tree? But that doesn’t seem right either!” Shi Hao frowned.

He remembered some things. It was rumored that in the ancient years, there was a Demonic Cattail tree with profound strength, chased by others from the higher realm into the lower realms, creating quite a disturbance in the eight regions. It had devoured who knew just how many creatures.

In the end, the entire world rose up, and only then was it destroyed with great difficulty.

Apart from this, Shi Hao had participated in Desolate Border’s great battle, at that time learning about an extremely important piece of information. During the battle of Immortal Ancient, there was previously an unmatched king.

That was the Demonic Cattail King!

That was an undying king, his strength too great. It killed countless experts of the Nine Heavens. It was rumored that his cultivation would only be stronger than Scarlet King’s, not weaker.

One had to understand that Scarlet King was a freak, someone who had once devoured Immortal Kings with the Scarlet King Cauldron.

However, the Demonic Cattail King’s fate wasn’t great, encountering obstacles one after another, always clashing with the most powerful. It first fought against a True Dragon, and then encountered Six Dao Reincarnations King, then finally, when it fought until its eyes were red, it then went to fight bloodily with Without End Immortal King.

It was killed by Without End Immortal King!

However, no one could find its corpse. When the battle ended, its corpse vanished.

“All of you, be careful! There is something strange, be more cautious!” Shi Hao shouted. He personally spoke up, making everyone’s expressions become sluggish, their minds become taut.
