Chapter 1652: Chapter 1652: Perfection!
It definitely can’t be Xuanbing Xianwang, because Shi Hao already told his mother that once he cultivated to the limit of Celestial Venerable, he would let go of the control over the Origin Dao, allowing her to easily surpass it.
Not just her, but Shi Hu and other children are waiting as well.
So, it definitely must be an outsider.
Whoosh, Shi Hao appeared in the Superdimensional Space.
He saw who was challenging him, Guo Yang.
When Guo Yang saw Shi Hao, he was also taken aback.
How could it be Shi Hao?
He was of the Heaven Breaking lineage, so naturally, he wouldn’t walk the path of the Origin of Gold to compete with his own master for a position, which would be truly rebellious.
Therefore, he opted to follow the Origin of Thunder.
In his view, this was the most appropriate, because Shi Hao was from the Extinguishing Thunder lineage; seizing this path was considered an obligation to his sect, avoiding a fallout between his master and other Immortal Venerables.
—There had been a long-standing discord with the Extinguishing Thunder lineage.
Who could have imagined, he was actually seeing Shi Hao instead of the Thunder Extinguishing Immortal Venerable.
This!
"Why is it you?" He was filled with shock.
Shi Hao betrayed his master and his ancestors, even stole the Origin Dao of the Thunder Extinguishing Immortal Venerable.
Shi Hao smiled slightly: "Why can’t it be me?"
"You are truly rebellious, even stealing your master’s Dao!" Guo Yang scolded.
Although he disobeyed his master’s orders and forcefully broke through to quasi-Immortal Venerable, he never thought of seizing the path of Heavenshatter Immortal Venerable, choosing instead to take the far path of the Origin of Thunder.
Shi Hao spread his hands, he had indeed pulled Lao Ding from
the Immortal Venerable position, which was a fact, so there was nothing to say.
Moreover, did he need to explain anything to Guo Yang?
"Shi Hao, you’re not fit to be human!" Guo Yang shouted angrily, attacking Shi Hao.
Boom!
He unleashed his full combat power, attacking Shi Hao.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shi Hao casually deflected, using only a hint of his strength; he wanted to see what level of strength Guo Yang had reached.
After a while, he shook his head.
Weak, incredibly weak.
Guo Yang, however, had no awareness of this; he thought Shi Hao’s power was only akin to this.
That was normal.
An Immortal Venerable would already be at the pinnacle of the world, unable to advance further; could you really be so exceptional as to surpass others by a large margin?
Impossible.
He roared continuously, attacking relentlessly, determined to kill Shi Hao on the spot.
Shi Hao shook his head and pressed firmly.
Pff!
Guo Yang suddenly vomited blood profusely.
"Considering you’ve not committed any evil, I’ll spare you this time," Shi Hao said indifferently, "Someday, I will relinquish my hold on the Origin Dao, then you may again vie for the Immortal Venerable position."
Creating an enemy for Lao Ding?
It’s inevitable; sitting on the Immortal Venerable position requires accepting challenges from newcomers.
Like the previous Eight Immortal Venerables who directly slaughtered all quasi-Immortal Venerables – that’s too selfish.
Lao Ding is bold; he certainly wouldn’t mind being challenged.
Moreover, if Lao Ding couldn’t defeat such a newcomer, then he deserved to lose the Immortal Venerable position.
Guo Yang couldn’t believe it; he stared blankly at Shi Hao, unable to imagine Shi Hao’s true strength was indeed this formidable.
Is this truly the power an Immortal Venerable should possess?
"Go," Shi Hao waved his hand again, and with a slap, Guo Yang was directly sent out of the Superdimensional Space.
He didn’t even have the chance to concede, just knocked out directly.
Such a defeat!
Shi Hao withdrew from the Superdimensional Space, continuing his enlightenment.
Perhaps in another 2,000 years, he would achieve the Perfection status.
Yet, merely a thousand years later, he was challenged again.
This time, it was the Ninemorphs Demoness.
She already knew of her master’s demise, so naturally, she walked the path of her sect’s lineage, which allowed her to quickly reach quasi-Immortal Venerable and qualify to initiate the Origin Battle.
Who would have thought she would encounter Shi Hao?
Coincidentally, Shi Hao walked the sect lineage’s Origin Dao?
But with the matter now at hand, she had no choice but to fight.
Origin Battle, an unavoidable fight.
She roared long and attacked Shi Hao.
Slap, just a single slap and the Ninemorphs Demoness was sent out of the Superdimensional Space.
Shi Hao had no intention of killing; this served as a whetstone for his children, otherwise, allowing Shi Hu and them to easily achieve Immortal Venerable was actually not a good thing.
Like the Eight Immortal Venerables, they rose without going through the Origin Battle because the previous era’s strong figures were either killed by Celestial Venerable Ye Chen or perished in battles with the Asura Realm, granting them an easy ascent.
In Shi Hao’s view, the Eight Immortal Venerables were too weak.
They hadn’t even mastered one ten-thousandth of the Origin Dao, without experiencing bloody battles, they were not truly the strongest of the era.
That’s why they were so afraid of new quasi-Immortal Venerables emerging and threatening their positions.
Being inherently unable to represent the strongest, they naturally feared.
Shi Hao shook his head, returning to continue cultivation.
In the following thousand years, he was drawn into the Superdimensional Space several more times.
—The opponents, of course, were all disciples of the former Eight Immortal Venerables, who had reached quasi-Immortal Venerable Perfection, and in terms of personal strength, they were entirely comparable to genuine Immortal Venerables, hence initiated the Origin Battle, but upon encountering Shi Hao, they inevitably ended up doubting their existence.
However, Shi Hao did not kill them, showing them the vastness of his heart.
Consequently, they all emerged from the Forbidden Land.
The world was ushered into a grand age.
Aside from only Shi Hao as the Immortal Venerable, the number of quasi-Immortal Venerables gradually increased.
Shi Hao bore no intention of suppression, but rather encouraged, even publicly demonstrating spells to let more people attain such heights.
Who becomes Immortal Venerable doesn’t matter; the martial arts in the Immortal Realm must not decline.
Another thousand years passed, Shi Hao exhaled deeply.
The Origin Dao reached Perfection.
Though he only mastered one-tenth of the Origin Dao, that was the limit, impossible to advance further.
Because, Heaven and Earth only allow you to grasp so much.
Advancing further would pose a threat to Heaven and Earth.
So, has Shi Hao cultivated martial arts to the ultimate level?
No.
Because he has the Little Star Universe, which is currently developing towards a complete realm, capable of possessing its own rules, naturally able to evolve the Origin Dao, thus Shi Hao has endless space for enhancement.
To stand alongside Heaven and Earth, this is not something that is merely said.
Of course, achieving this is not a matter of tens of thousands of years, but requires millions or even billions of years.
Unable to live that long?
That depends on whether the muddy path’s other end truly allows one to have endless lifespan.
Shi Hao gave way.
Immediately, numerous quasi-Immortal Venerables initiated the Origin Battle for the Immortal Venerable position.
However, with Shi Hao overseeing, the Origin Battle decided only victory and defeat, not life and death, and newly ascended Immortal Venerables were prohibited from pursuing fallen quasi-Immortal Venerables.
Martial arts flourished not through monopolies, but through generations of competitions.
Lao Ding, Shi Hao’s four children, and Xuanbing Xianwang succeeded in ascending, becoming new Immortal Venerables, and the other three were the Ninemorphs Demoness, Cheng Feng, and Mao Xinyi.
Cheng Feng and Mao Xinyi were not disciples of the old Immortal Venerables but were newly risen geniuses in the last tens of thousands of years.
An unprecedented grand era!
