Chapter 1658: Chapter 1658: The Second Muddy Path
"Celestial Venerable Ye, you’ve worked hard!" Shi Hao sincerely said.
If Celestial Venerable Ye Chen hadn’t sacrificed his Little Star Universe back then, the heavens of the Immortal Realm would have suffered a great blow, leading to a decline in the overall cultivation environment. Then, how could we have resisted when the Asura Realm launched a large-scale invasion?
Moreover, if he hadn’t been restraining Celestial Venerable Wuchen here, that mighty figure with vast Divine Skills capable of intervening over the muddy path, he could have created endless troubles.
Perhaps, the Immortal Realm would have been gone long ago.
The fact that it’s held on until now, allowing Shi Hao to come over, is all thanks to Celestial Venerable Ye Chen’s contributions, which are a return for his sacrifice.
How could one not feel admiration?
Celestial Venerable Ye Chen, however, didn’t mind. He just nodded slightly: "Wuchen must be eliminated. For the sake of immortality, he has become obsessed, trying everything to merge the two realms."
From the perspective of lifespan, not to mention that Celestial Venerable Wuchen should have already transformed into the Dao, even Celestial Venerable Ye Chen is almost at his limit.
So, once the two realms completely stop colliding and no longer produce Undying Substance, it won’t just be Celestial Venerable Wuchen and those around him who would perish, but Celestial Venerable Ye Chen as well.
Such a hero, who has dedicated his life to the Immortal Realm, fighting alone for two million years, should he continue to sacrifice?
Shi Hao really couldn’t imagine, if he were to fight alone for so long, whether he would have gone mad.
Previously, Shi Hao greatly admired Celestial Venerable Ye Chen, even for treasures like the Primordial Scripture, which Celestial Venerable Ye Chen would directly bring out, allowing anyone destined to view it without reservation.
Now, the image of Celestial Venerable Ye Chen was even more grand in his mind.
Even though Shi Hao’s strength had surpassed the other’s, it in no way diminished his admiration.
Shi Hao thought for a moment and said, "Celestial Venerable Ye, can you reconstruct the Little Star Universe?"
Celestial Venerable Ye Chen gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "No, once lost, it can never be compensated."
Shi Hao frowned and said, "Actually, the production of this Undying Substance is the collision of the Origin Rules of the two realms. Thus, as long as we can fully grasp the Origin Rules of both realms and then use the Little Star Universe to compress, we can create it ourselves."
Saying this, he moved with a thought, instantly creating nine crystals.
Although these were not entirely mature Undying Substances, they had a certain charm.
Celestial Venerable Ye Chen’s eyes immediately brightened. Could the Undying Substance really be produced in this way?
However, having lost the Little Star Universe and with his lifespan already dry, he couldn’t head to the Asura Realm to comprehend, so it was certain he couldn’t produce Undying Substance anymore.
Shi Hao continued, "My Little Star Universe is still not strong enough, and I only have a grasp of a small fraction of the Origin Dao of the Asura Realm. So now, I can only create this kind of thing. However, give me some time, and I will definitely be able to produce real Undying Substance."
By then, Celestial Venerable Ye Chen could leave with Shi Hao’s help.
Celestial Venerable Ye Chen nodded. If Shi Hao mastered the Origin Dao of both realms and integrated them, how powerful could his combat power become?
By then, suppressing Celestial Venerable Wuchen would truly be no longer a dream.
"Good, as long as we’re blocking this place, Wuchen can’t get out."
Two Celestial Venerables blocking the door, plus an Immortal Venerable; this lineup is terrifying. Even if Celestial Venerable Wuchen had the determination of a bull, he couldn’t break through — the Purple Gold Rat was, of course, magnificently ignored, merely a Nine Stars Immortal King.
This place simply wasn’t lacking in Immortal Kings.
— everyone here has an infinite lifespan, and over the years, even a pig could be worn into an Immortal King.
Celestial Venerable Wuchen evidently wasn’t willing to see this situation. He came over again and again, trying to persuade Shi Hao.
At this rate, the Undying Substance would eventually be exhausted, and by then, everyone would die.
Regarding this, Shi Hao’s response was simple: "I’ve only lived for tens of thousands of years. My lifespan is long. Even if the Undying Substance is gone, I can still live for another million-plus years. So, no need to worry about me."
This infuriated Celestial Venerable Wuchen, leaving him speechless.
What made Shi Hao so young?
He repeatedly attempted to break through the exit, sending some people out and continuing to disrupt the two realms. But with Shi Hao stationed there, could he succeed?
Celestial Venerable Wuchen was alive because there was Undying Substance here. Any injury could be rapidly healed, but it only ensured he wouldn’t die. More than that, sending people out was just absurd.
This made this elder Celestial Venerable both anxious and angry.
At this rate, the Undying Substance here would truly be exhausted!
But Shi Hao and Celestial Venerable Ye both acted as if impervious to oil or salt, leaving him with no recourse.
Shi Hao guarded the door while cultivating but sometimes wandered around.
After all, to him, this was a new place. Coming to a new environment, he naturally wanted to look around.
This so-called Sacred Land wasn’t big, merely the size of an average city. However, the heavenly structure was exceedingly stable. Otherwise, how could it withstand two Celestial Venerables battling for two million years?
Shi Hao soon made a circuit, and then, passing a certain place, he paused slightly.
A muddy path!
Another muddy path!
If not for the absence of Celestial Venerable Ye Chen here, Shi Hao would have doubted if he had lost his sense of direction.
There were actually two muddy paths within the Sacred Land.
One connected to the Forbidden Land, which Shi Hao had already traversed, but where did the second one lead?
The Asura Realm?
After all, this was created by the collision of two realms, so one side connecting to the Immortal Realm and another to the Asura Realm was very reasonable.
Shi Hao tried stepping out, and immediately, a terrifying killing intent surged forth, causing his expression to change drastically as he hurriedly withdrew.
It was too terrifying, far more dangerous than the other muddy path, even capable of slaying him as he was now.
Hiss.
Shi Hao furrowed his brow, a flicker and he had returned to Celestial Venerable Ye Chen’s side.
"Celestial Venerable Ye, there’s another muddy path on the other side, do you know that?" he asked.
Celestial Venerable Ye nodded, "I know that, but that path is even more terrifying. I cannot tread it, nor do I know what place it connects to."
So, it definitely wasn’t the Asura Realm on the other side.
Which was so abnormal that even a Celestial Venerable could not traverse it!
However, to confirm, he would have to make a trip to the Asura Realm in the future, to see if there was a similar muddy path there.
Within the Sacred Land, there existed a second muddy path, but alas, even a Celestial Venerable couldn’t cross it.
Speaking in essence, this muddy path was also filled with deathly aura, capable of instantly severing all life force. Even someone as robust as Shi Hao could only take a few steps before having to retreat, else he’d be eradicated.
This made Shi Hao intensely curious — what exactly lay on the other side?
Could the collision of the two realms have produced a path to a new world?
Shi Hao was full of anticipation. If he couldn’t traverse it now, it was because he wasn’t strong enough yet.
If he could integrate all the Origin Rules and fully evolve the Little Star Universe into a world, then he might be able to confront it?
In any case, it was worth a try.
