Perfect World-Chapter 1878

Chapter 1878 - Hundred Years

The three Lightning Spirits were all happy and cheerful as they swam through the lightning. They entered the lightning pool Shi Hao gave them.

They didn’t really eat lightning pools either, but rather absorbed the mysterious substance accumulated in the lightning pool, the lightning pool’s greatest essence!

“Wait until we are a bit stronger, then we’ll try to seize some lightning pools ourselves. There are so many lightning pools rising and falling, it’s an ultimate sacred land for us!” The Lightning Spirits communicated with each other.

However, they didn’t dare act rashly either, not approaching those lightning pools yet, because it was too dangerous and terrifying. It might end up killing them!

Mu Qing, Zhu Lin, Shi Zhong, Heavenly Horned Ant, and the others were all cultivating, seizing their own natural luck in the Lightning Abyss. They discovered that there were great mysteries here, there were scripture symbols within the lightning.

These symbols weren’t from a true ancient scripture, but rather the embodiment of heaven and earth’s great profound mysteries.

“There is no lightning tribulation left in this world, but in other great eras, there would always be lightning tribulation when they broke through. Now, this place really is strange. Could it be that the tribulations of the creatures of the past, their comprehension of the dao and the achievements they obtained are all engraved in this lightning radiance, left behind?”

They were gaining insights, unearthing secrets in the Lightning Abyss.

Shi Hao returned to the dam, using the Realm Sea’s ‘mist’ to cleanse his true body, using this to temper himself.

Another twenty years passed like that. It has already been several decades since he came to this place.

According to what the restricted region lord said, only after remaining here for a century could they return.

Shi Hao began to walk along the dam. He began to try his hand at the immortal dao corpses, picking an ancient beast, unknown what era it came from, trying to refine it.

If others came, forget about doing anything, they couldn’t even get close, for example, the crimson dragon, Zhu Lin, and others. Even though their strength was extremely great, there was no way they could even get close.

It was because when the true immortals’ negative aura spread, their explosive side completely erupting, if they forcefully approached, their bodies would explode.

At first, Shi Hao was still incredibly careful. This type of creature was too strong, even making him shiver inwardly, scared that there would be some type of unforeseen event.

However, as he dragged this ancient beast down from the dam, then carefully refined its true blood, he unexpectedly discovered that this undying creature was strong in appearance but actually weak in reality.

“What a pity, the immortal blood essence has completely flowed out. There are issues with the flesh, bone matter, and all of the other parts.” Shi Hao sighed.

These remains looked terrifying, but the insides had all decayed. Compared to when they were at their peak, there was nothing to worry about.

This was because of the Realm Sea’s corrosion!

However, he still refined a bit of undying matter from this ancient beast’s body. This could be considered the most precious medicine.

All things had spirit, everything could be turned into medicine.

Great flesh medicines were naturally extraordinary.

It was rumored that if all of a true immortal’s essence blood was extracted, they wouldn’t be any inferior to long life undying medicines!

“What a pity!” Shi Hao shook his head.

Suddenly, a beast roar sounded, making the seawater below the dam surge intensely.

That ancient beast corpse actually shook. Then, a void figure rushed out, attacking Shi Hao.

“This is...” He was shocked, defending against this enemy.

“An unfading soul imprint?” Shi Hao sensed what it was. He didn’t feel fear, instead becoming excited.

He faced this opponent, fighting intensely with this ancient beast void figure.

This wasn’t a true immortal dao creature, but it contained a portion of its great dao when it was still alive. These imprints weren’t extinguished, still terrifying beyond compare.

For Shi Hao, this was too precious. He fought with these immortal dao creatures’ ruined imprints, able to examine their great dao. Fighting against it was a rare experience.

After the battle, the imprints finally turned into nothingness, fading away.

There was no way for it to continue existing for a long time, this was only something that was left over. In the end, it was still going to scatter away.

Shi Hao closed his eyes. He sat in front of the giant beast corpse, starting to cultivate just like that, not moving at all.

Only several years later did Shi Hao open his eyes again. He moved along the dam, heading towards the next creature.

His cultivation period was too short, unable to achieve immortality, unable to break through this great cultivation realm. However, he had a feeling that if he continued with this process, it would be the most precious type of accumulation!

Right now, the suitable conditions were right before him. He was only three hundred or so years of age, still too far off from the age people achieved immortality in history. However, this type of quiet accumulation would one day show its results.

Once he achieved immortality, he might become entirely different, as fierce as a roaring mountain flood.

He collected a jar of liquid, inside of it immortal blood and undying matter. Shi Hao put it away, and then triggered the remaining battle imprints in this body.

Hong!

Another great battle erupted.

Just like that, Shi Hao began this type of cultivation method, gathering great flesh medicine. Then, he would fight, comprehend the dao, after this start all over again... this process repeating in a cycle.

Several decades passed. In the blink of an eye, it was almost a hundred years since they came here.

Now, Shi Hao was already close to four hundred years of age, but he still didn’t obtain an immortal ascension chance. There was only a type of ‘great dao accumulation’, gathering intangibly.

Shi Hao found Mu Qing and the others, having them gather together, waiting for their return.

Without a doubt, the three Lightning Spirits’ harvests were the greatest, their strength advancing tremendously!

The Heavenly Horned Ant and crimson dragon also obtained tremendous opportunities, actually replenishing what they innately lacked.

On the bones in the crimson dragon’s body, there were dragon patterns that gradually appeared. He became overjoyed at this unexpected good news. Could it be that his clan’s inheritance was going to appear?

After all these years, it always cultivated the True Phoenix lineage’s precious technique, something Shi Hao passed onto him. Because his body was innately deficient, the True Dragon’s highest profound mysteries never took form in his body.

“What about you all? Were you able to find any opportunities?” Shi Hao looked towards Mu Qing.

Mu Qing shook his head. He had long reached the peak of Self Release Realm, but he still couldn’t seize that breakthrough glimmer, unable to go higher.

It wasn’t just him, the Heavenly Horned Ant, crimson dragon, and others, which one of them wasn’t like this? From their birth until now, they cultivated several hundred years. Even though they long reached the Self Release Realm, they still had no way of becoming supreme beings.

They all had bitter smiles on their faces. Five hundred years, this was a taboo dividing line after all, difficult to break through... f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“This place is blessed by heaven, yet we still can’t find a way out, no way of becoming supreme beings. It seems like it really is a long and difficult path.” The Heavenly Horned Ant felt regrets.

However, soon afterwards, he let his worries go. Back then, in the last great era, the various true immortals of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, which one of them became a supreme being in under five hundred years?

Huang, in the end, there was only one!

“If this trip isn’t enough, we’ll come for another hundred years next time. I’ll bring you all to the dam, help you by watching over all of you.” Shi Hao said.

Everyone was speechless. The reason they didn’t become supreme beings wasn’t mainly because of this, the main reason was because the five hundred year curse that has always existed was hard to get rid of.

The hundred years arrived. The void split open, formation patterns pouring in like molten iron, interweaving in the void, wrapping around them, and then quickly left, bringing them away.

A group of people appeared by the restricted region lord.

The restricted region lord nodded, not saying too much, having them leave.

Stone Village was just like before. After a century passed, the spiritual essence of this place was now far greater than in other places. It was because there were divine medicines planted here, formations protecting it, the nine dragons pulling coffin holding this place down.

“Shi Hao came back!” Someone cried out.

After a hundred years passed, several more generations of people appeared in Stone Village, the population becoming more and more prosperous.

There were still some things that were unavoidable. Everyone grew old one day, some people already left this world.

The clan chief Shi Yunqfeng was already extremely old, now almost five hundred years of age. His hair was snow-white, wrinkles everywhere. He now arrived at the front of the village to see Shi Hao under the support of others.

“Grandpa Chief!” Shi Hao’s eyes turned sore. After not meeting for a century, the clan chief was already old.

This was still the result after he helped him cleanse his meridians. After all, the elder’s cultivation wasn’t that high, not walking the great dao path.

In this Cultivationless Age, no matter how profound one’s cultivation became, it still couldn’t compare to cultivators of the past at all.

“It’s good as long as you came back, good as long as you are safe.” The old clan chief’s hands were shaking slightly as they grabbed Shi Hao’s hands. He knew that he was now already old, not having many years left to live.

He was now the only one left from his generation. All of them had long been buried under the mountain tombs. During these years, he had always been rather lonely, always reminiscing about his old companions.

Stone villagers from that generation didn’t have high cultivations, to the extent where many of them didn’t even walk the path of cultivation. After the Cultivationless Age descended, all types of medicines’ effects were reduced, making it difficult for them to live long.

Yun Xi supported the old clan chief, Shi Ziling and his wife were also here. They were still better off because their cultivation levels were still rather high.

Shi Hao walked up, also holding Shi Yunfeng, deeply feeling the ruthlessness of time, the corrosion of the years. Of the elders of the past, Grandpa Chief was now the only one left.

He turned around. Even Dazhuang, Ermeng, Pihou and the others already had white hair, his childhood companions now all old. Meanwhile, Dazhuang and the others’ fathers, even though they cultivated, that generation as strong as Shi Yunfeng, they were already gone, passing on.

Shi Hao felt pain inside. The fate of mortality was difficult to stop, in the end, they would still part one day. He found this hard to accept, difficult to bear, his heart sore.

The later generations of Stone Village were stronger than the previous generations. This was undoubtedly because the conditions were different, they all had a great foundation established!

“I don’t want to see all of you grow old and die!” Shi Hao really was greatly shaken, howling inside.

When he returned today, he felt a type of unprecedented urgency. His nose turned sour, he wanted to change everything, he didn’t want to see the people at his side leave one after another, die of old age.

However, what could he even do? Could divine medicines and other things preserve these people?
