Chapter 1644: Chapter 1644: The Fated Emperor Returns
"Spare me! Spare me!" Mo Tian crawled to the ground, crying with tears and snot flowing.
He was incredibly arrogant, but at the same time, extremely afraid of death.
His arrogance came from Immortal King Yuncheng, but now that Immortal King Yuncheng was dead, all he had left was immense fear.
"Yuncheng is dead, and you, the one who started all this trouble, still wish to linger on?" Shi Hao snapped his fingers, and with a clap, Mo Tian instantly turned into a blood mist.
Shi Hao looked at the Jade Immortal and said, "You can leave now."
This person was just forced by circumstances and had not committed any great evil.
The Jade Immortal was stunned, completely unable to believe his ears.
Even Immortal King Yuncheng was dead; naturally, he should be awaiting death too. Yet, he completely didn’t expect Shi Hao to spare him.
"Thank you, Immortal Venerable Shi, for your great mercy!" He bowed to the ground, full of admiration.
This is the magnanimity of an Immortal Venerable, distinguishing between gratitude and resentment clearly.
This farce came to an end here.
"Father, where are we going next?" Shi Hu asked.
Shi Hao smiled slightly, "Of course, back to Stone Country."
So many years passed, who knew what had become of Stone Country.
No sooner said than done, he swept with his big hand, taking everyone back to Hongwu Immortal Domain.
It’s a mess.
Now that Hongwu Immortal King has left, the Immortal Domain has no king, and all Jade Immortal forces are vying for power.
At the beginning, it was still manageable, but thousands of years without an Immortal King seated, the Jade Immortals became increasingly reckless.
Initially, they only waged small-scale wars, seeing no Immortal King came to suppress them, naturally became bolder, and the entire Immortal Domain became chaotic.
Stone Country was no exception.
Although it was in the sea, it was still discovered and forcibly taken.
Now, Stone Country belongs to the Nine Swords Sect, one of its subordinate forces.
Shi Hao walked in Stone Country, his brow gradually furrowing.
It’s too messy.
The atrocities of this Nine Swords Sect here are beyond description; the privileged class can do whatever they want, and in the last thousand years, who knows how many people have suffered horribly.
However, Stone Country could only be ravaged.
Dare to resist?
The whole nation exterminated.
Without an Immortal King, naturally, there were no rules, only savage slaughter and primitive desire remained.
Shi Hao came to the Imperial Palace, naturally occupied by Nine Swords Sect, but the Great Commander was still Shi Dang. This person previously received the cultivation technique Shi Hao had given and abundant resources, now had advanced to Copper Armored Immortal, but in the face of Nine Swords Sect, such strength was naturally far insufficient.
"Your Majesty!" Shi Dang was patrolling when he saw Shi Hao, immediately extremely excited.
Endured for so many years, finally waited for this day.
The Fated Emperor has returned!
Shi Hao nodded, "So many years, it’s admirable you can still persevere."
Back then, there was no preparation for the battle under Immortal Venerable Tu’s sect, it was impossible to move the whole Stone Country leading to its fall, it was his responsibility.
"Your Majesty, it’s good that you are back." Shi Dang shed tears.
Although he advanced to Copper Armored Immortal, he only had around a thousand years of lifespan left, truly an old man.
"Shi Hu, go take a trip to Nine Swords Sect." Shi Hao said to his son.
"Yes, Father." Shi Hu nodded.
Now that they’ve returned, naturally they will straighten out everything.
Next, Hongwu Immortal King returned to the Summit of the Stars, issued orders, and in just three days, wars ceased throughout the Immortal Domain.
— Going against the Immortal King?
Are you foolish?
Nine Swords Sect was annihilated by Shi Hu, no longer existing in the world.
There were many more forces being purged, it can be said, there are hardly any Jade Immortal forces left in the entire Hongwu Immortal Domain.
But what of it?
So many Immortal Kings are seated, even an almighty existence with Immortal Venerable combat power, what is there to fear?
Illusionary Sea Immortal King also returned to his Summit of the Stars, to restore peace and order.
Once everything settled down, Shi Hao began considering the next step.
Xuanbing Xianwang.
This is a target that must be dealt with; as long as Xuanbing Xianwang’s main consciousness is eliminated, his mother can be "revived" completely.
However, this person fled into the Forbidden Land, wholeheartedly seeking the Celestial Venerable position, finding her is exceedingly difficult.
The Forbidden Land is too vast and restricts Divine Sense scanning, hence it’s the best hiding place.
Shi Hao once hid in the Forbidden Land, so even the eight Immortal Venerables couldn’t find him, now the same goes for Xuanbing Xianwang.
He has a difficult time finding Xuanbing Xianwang.
But, although difficult to find, he must still search.
However, he had just exited the Forbidden Land, so naturally wouldn’t return shortly.
There’s also that Miry Path Shi Hao needs to walk, what’s at the end, whether Celestial Venerable Ye Chen is alive or dead, he must figure it out.
"Little Stone, you’re amazing!" Purple Gold Rat patted Shi Hao’s shoulder, "Even though you’re merely a quasi-Immortal Venerable, you already have the strength to rival an Immortal Venerable, comparable to when Ye Chen was a Celestial Venerable."
Shi Hao smiled, Ye Chen once simultaneously mastered nine Origin Dao branches, stepping into quasi-Immortal Venerable, instantly gained Immortal Venerable-level strength.
After all, he and Ye Chen were the only two who cultivated the Little Star Universe.
"When are we storming into the Miry Path?" Purple Gold Rat asked again, it once followed Celestial Venerable Ye Chen, naturally very concerned about Celestial Venerable Ye Chen’s fate.
Shi Hao shrugged, "Naturally when I achieve the Immortal Venerable position."
Once he achieved the Immortal Venerable status, he then had the qualification to set foot onto the Miry Path, otherwise, if he went now, it would surely be unfeasible.
Purple Gold Rat nodded, then rubbed its little paws, looking expectant.
A few days later, Old Ding arrived.
He looked at Shi Hao, full of emotion.
He was quite impressive back in the day, a mere fifty thousand years, he had already achieved the Immortal Venerable, yet compared to Shi Hao, he was far inferior.
— He received guidance from Celestial Venerable Ye Chen, lived through nine lifetimes, that’s such profound accumulation?
But otherwise, he could hardly withstand the pursuit of many Immortal Venerables, to achieve the Immortal Venerable position?
After thick accumulation and thinning hair, he could rush into the Immortal Venerable, made his time truly being hunted by the Immortal Venerables pitifully short.
But Shi Hao was formidable, stayed in the Forbidden Land for five or six thousand years, slowly grinding out Immortal Venerable-level combat power.
"Let me know when you’re going to venture into the Miry Path, I want to see the other side too." He said.
Shi Hao nodded, others he wouldn’t bring along, but Old Ding and Purple Gold Rat were certainly to be included.
"Take a good rest, I won’t disturb you." Old Ding smiled and walked away.
Next, was a life of tranquility.
Achieving Shi Hao’s height, who could be his enemy?
The eight Immortal Venerables were much more restrained, never spoke of wanting to hunt him, even had their disciples keep a low profile, as if this could resolve their grudges with Shi Hao.
Shi Hao didn’t mind, a reckoning would eventually come, no rush.
He lived a peaceful life with family.
Three hundred years later, good news arrived.
— Shi Hu roamed the world, finally met his Fated Heavenly Maiden, and was getting married.
