Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1597: Developing New Abilities

Shi Hao leaped toward the place he sensed.

Before long, an Immortal Elixir appeared within sight.

However, Shi Hao did not rush forward immediately.

Here, no Immortal Elixir is easy to pick. Either there is a powerful Ferocious Beast guarding it, or the environment itself is full of deadly threats.

Here, no Ferocious Beast was in sight, so naturally, the environment itself must be hiding a threat.

Shi Hao squeezed out a drop of blood, flung it casually, and it instantly transformed into a human figure, heading toward the Immortal Elixir.

Having reached such heights, he could easily evolve a drop of blood into an Incarnation, and the combat power would be substantial enough to pick an Immortal Elixir.

The human figure moved forward, but—clang—a bolt of lightning struck down, and the Incarnation was shattered without suspense.

Hiss.

Shi Hao grimaced. Although he only lost a drop of blood, he didn’t know how many cells were within that drop, and each cell was a Celestial Body, which means the loss was not insignificant for him.

But it’s okay, blood can regenerate.

"The power of lightning is estimated to have reached the level of a quasi Immortal Venerable," Shi Hao speculated.

The Purple Gold Rat nodded, "How do you plan to obtain it?"

"How to obtain it?" Shi Hao smiled, "Various attempts, of course."

He squeezed another drop of blood, but this time it transformed into tens of thousands of Incarnations.

Of course, with so many Incarnations, each one’s strength naturally plummeted, barely reaching the level of a Copper Armored Immortal.

No matter.

Because the power of lightning was so terrifying, getting hit was certain death. The difference between Immortal King and Copper Armored Immortal was negligible.

What Shi Hao needed now was quantity.

With a thought, tens of thousands of Incarnations surged forth, heading toward the Immortal Elixir from all directions.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lightning struck intensely, each Incarnation was shattered, but one found a safe path, reached the Immortal Elixir, picked it, and retraced its steps.

Safe and returned.

Shi Hao smiled and received the Immortal Elixir, as the Incarnation reintegrated into his body.

"Amazing!" The Purple Gold Rat raised its thumb.

It and other Immortal Kings couldn’t achieve this.

——For an Immortal King to create such an Incarnation, they must cultivate the corresponding Cultivation Technique, like the Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique; otherwise, they must sacrifice a bit of Spirit for evolution, and when the Incarnation dies, this bit of Spirit perishes too, affecting the main body.

Especially just now, creating tens of thousands of Incarnations at once, how much Spirit would that consume?

Shi Hao is different; he is a world unto himself. How easy is it for him to evolve Incarnations?

Of course, the death of an Incarnation also affects Shi Hao, but it’s merely a matter of losing some cells, a meal would likely replenish them.

So this method of experimentation can only be used by Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled slightly. Though his cultivation hadn’t significantly progressed in twenty years, his thoughts on rules and the development of his own small world hadn’t stopped.

Back then, Ye Chen became the only Celestial Venerable based on this, so the value of his small world must be immense. Shi Hao had only realized a tiny aspect of its function. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

These tens of thousands of Incarnations were inspired by the Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique he developed, yet compared to the Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique, his current Incarnations are notably weak; let alone self-cultivation, they lack even self-awareness, relying entirely on Shi Hao for control.

But this is just the beginning, as long as he further develops, this capability will surely become more useful.

Shi Hao directly refined the Immortal Elixir. With his current strength, refining Immortal Elixir while doing other things can be done without interference.

In just over ten days, the medicinal power of this Immortal Elixir was completely refined by him, but Shi Hao’s cultivation saw little progress. If measured by Immortal Elixir, he would need at least fifty to reach the Peak of four stars.

Sigh, so slow!

Shi Hao sighed and continued to search.

He kept searching, and the harvest slowly increased.

After ten years, he found more than thirty Immortal Elixirs; at this pace, it would take at most another ten years for him to break through to five stars.

He has three women as companions, a Purple Gold Rat for playful banter and mutual mocking, not feeling lonely, but occasionally his thoughts wander to his two children.

For an Immortal, a decade is like a blink, but his time with his children lasted only twenty years, now separated for ten years, how could he not miss them?

Yet, for a better future, Shi Hao had to suppress his longing, continuing his endeavors in the Forbidden Land.

Another five years passed, and Shi Hao’s earnings fluctuated. Sometimes plentiful, sometimes scarce, but overall better than the previous ten years’ average gain.

Thus, by the seventeenth year, he finally cultivated to the Peak of four stars.

Ready to break through.

Shi Hao secluded himself for three months, stabilizing his realm thoroughly before starting the assault.

Comprehension enough, naturally, it progresses smoothly.

After all, it’s merely five-star Immortal King.

Shi Hao calculated, if each realm could rise once every twenty years, then he needs a little less than three hundred years to reach the eighteen-star Peak.

Then, the assault on quasi Immortal Venerable.

Placed on anyone else, this would be unbelievably fast, who is so monstrous?

But for Shi Hao, it’s still felt a bit slow.

This means he won’t reunite with his children for another three hundred years.

No, he needs to increase his efficiency.

Shi Hao didn’t continue searching, but began closed cultivation.

What closed cultivation, he just broke through, does he intend an immediate assault on six-star Immortal King?

Of course not.

He intends further progress in evolving Incarnations.

Nearly twenty years past, he constantly pondered more roles for Incarnations, already having some clues, but now needs concentrated thought to resolve difficulties and realize the true impact of this Divine Skill.

Knowing the Immortal Venerable’s Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique is so impressive, there’s no reason he, capable to charge towards Celestial Venerable, falls short, right?

He secluded himself.

This time, fifty years!

Shi Hao finally emerged, smiling faintly.

With a thought, shoo, shoo, shoo, countless shadows flew from his body.

These are his Incarnations, and after years of research, the Incarnations’ abilities were greatly enhanced.

Firstly, and crucially, they now possess intelligence!

But this intelligence is not independent as if becoming a different person, it’s not like that; it’s sharing thoughts with Shi Hao, yet not demanding the main body’s spiritual power.

This is extremely practical, especially here, independent thought is vital, while sharing Shi Hao’s thoughts, real-time information is transmitted, permitting intervention if necessary.

Resembling the Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique, Incarnations have independent thought yet remain under main body control.

Different being, Myriad Transformation Heavenly Technique’s Incarnations return or awaken after death or reaching particular cultivation heights, while Shi Hao’s Incarnation Technique is distinct, control from start, shared thoughts.

Undoubtedly, this is far more impressive.
