Perfect World

Huge Harvest

How high was the sky, and how far was the earth? When Shi Hao was little, he often fantasized about the day when he could move unhindered between mountains and rivers. Now, he did it, but he discovered that this world was vast beyond his imagination. He still had to look up to this world.

There was a higher realm above this world. What kind of place was that? Was it a place where deities resided? Shi Hao asked the little pagoda, but all he received was silence.

He asked the Willow Deity again, but all he saw was a shake of the head. Why was it like this? He could clearly feel that the Willow Deity felt sorry for something.

What was wrong with the wasteland region? When the higher realms were mentioned, why did the little pagoda and Willow Deity respond like this?

“Heh, little pagoda, that spatial crack flickered a few times, and the light was extremely dazzling. Don’t you think that materials from the Divine Realm will fall from there? Do you want to suppress it?” Shi Hao said carelessly.

The little pagoda didn’t pay him any attention. It hung from his hair, flickering about as it sensed the aura in the sky.

“Willow Deity, are you a big sister, or should I call you uncle?” Shi Hao was quite talkative. He looked at the hazy figure in front of him. There was nothing he could do because he couldn’t see it clearly. The conversation was only carried out through divine will, and he couldn’t hear the actual voice.

Willow Deity didn’t reply but only told him to leave behind that armguard and leave immediately. He couldn’t waste too much time. At the same time, the Willow Deity also told Kong Qiuji to make preparations.

“I really can’t accept leaving like this. I rushed over to deliver the divine magical artifacts, yet I didn’t obtain anything. These heavenly-ranked creatures are so cunning,” Shi Hao muttered. The devilish brat’s temperament was once again revealed.

Of course, the one who felt the most conflicted was Second Baldy. He had wanted to fix the formation like a swag and visit Menglan while he was at it, but in the end, he was told that he was going to leave.

“Menglan, when are you going to come out of seclusion?” Kong Qiuji paced back and forth, feeling incredibly conflicted. He used to be completely naked, and it was difficult for him to even take on a human form. He didn’t want to meet his old love, but after receiving the Willow Deity’s help, he recovered his former appearance, and he wished to reunite with her again. After being separated for so many years, he once again stood on the Heavenly Divine Mountain. The feeling in his heart was difficult to describe.

Whoosh!

As if sensing something, a streak of spiritual light rushed into the heavens from the back of the mountain, carrying dense mist. It quickly spread, and then a voice rang out as if a phoenix was chirping from the nine heavens.

“Hey, Menglan came out of seclusion.” Yun Canghai was astonished.

At the same time, the older generation figures of the other great clans also looked surprised. She was astonishing back then, and a whole generation used to court her.

Even powerful figures like the Golden Peng Race’s clan lord Jin Luantian paid close attention. He looked toward the rear mountain, his golden pupils swirling with deep divine light as if he had recovered some of his vitality.

An elder from the Hou Race even turned into human form. When he saw others look over, he didn’t blush at all and only chuckled.

“Grandpa, why do I feel like you’ve become younger?” Hou Tian teased.

“You brat, get lost. I just want to see an old friend. Don’t talk nonsense when we go back,” the old Hou threatened.

“Don’t worry. When the time comes, give me a gourd of divine wine to drink. When I see my grandmother, I’ll definitely forget everything.” Hou Tian giggled.

“Little bastard!” Hou Clan’s lord glared at him.

“Wrong. I’m the little Hou brat,” Hou Tian corrected him.

A streak of rainbow light spread over. A woman’s dress unfolded, fluttering with the wind. She walked over to the rainbow bridge, staring blankly at Kong Qiuji.

“Go,” Willow Deity spoke.

Kong Qiuji was shaken. Was it the Willow Deity that helped him open the sealed ancient cave in the back mountain so that Menglan could come out? He vaguely guessed at this possibility.

“You… came to see me?” The woman said softly, two streams of tears flowing down her face.

She was extremely beautiful and seemed to be in her thirties. Her hair was tied up high, making her look dignified and graceful. Now that they met again, she was shocked, sad, and also overjoyed.

“Yes, I’ve returned.” Kong Qiuji’s voice was low.

“I hate it when others shed tears. Shouldn’t they be happy to be reunited? What are they crying for?” Shi Hao said quietly.

“Little brat, what do you know? Get lost!” It was rare for Second Baldy to be so domineering. He slapped Shi Hao’s head, marched forward with large steps, and took Yun Menglan’s hand.

“I’ve waited for you for many years. I believe that one day, you’ll come looking for me.” Yun Menglan wept, tears rolling down, blurring her eyes.

The Peacock Supreme Expert of the past stirred up endless storms. Today, he returned to his old age, his cultivation completely gone. When they met again, he accompanied the woman in front of him into the distance.

…

Jin Luantian’s expression was complicated as he shook his head. Hou Clan’s old clan chief looked over with a sigh. He scratched his head and said, “We were all ignored. In the end, this vicious peacock is still so annoying.”

When he heard the little pagoda sigh as well, Shi Hao muttered, expressing his confusion.

The little pagoda didn’t show any emotional fluctuations. It only spoke a few words.

“If there comes a day when the starry sky explodes and the world collapses, and you’re the only one left. Even though you are unmatched in this world, in the end, you’ll only be able to reminisce about the past. You’ll see your lover’s white hair as white as snow when she dies and watch your friends gradually set into graves. At that time, you’ll know that feeling.”

“What are you talking about?” Shi Hao scratched his head.

“If you are stunning enough, perhaps there will be a day when you can’t find a single old friend in the vast and boundless world. You’ll only be accompanied by the ruthless great path.” The little pagoda was incomparably calm. “If you return to being ordinary, you naturally won’t have to enjoy that type of loneliness.”

“Nonsense!” Shi Hao berated. Moreover, he flicked the little pagoda, which was quite bold.

“After endless years have passed, there might be someone like that. They would stand alone at the other end, looking back through endless time, alone by the great path,” Willow Deity said.

“What? Willow Deity, don’t scare me.” Shi Hao was shocked.

“It’s not like I’m talking about you. Why are you so anxious?” The little pagoda sneered.

“If there was such an exceptional person, who else could it be other than me?” The devilish brat’s self-confidence and narcissism were always inseparable. Ever since he was little, he had always been like this.

“Is there any way to remedy this?” Shi Hao asked nervously.

“There is,” Willow Deity said softly. It looked towards the sky and said, “There are realms above the heavens.”

“What?!” Shi Hao asked. However, the Willow Deity and the little pagoda didn’t pay him any attention. It was clear that he was too far off, so it was useless even if they gave him the answer. He wouldn’t understand.

After both of them stopped talking, especially when Willow Deity disappeared again, Shi Hao waited for Second Baldy to return. He was extremely bored, so he walked toward those old clan chiefs.

He had a heartless smile on his face and had put on a simple and honest appearance. He was extremely polite toward Yun Canghai, expressing that he wanted to return the divine magical artifact to them.

Yun Canghai didn’t dare act carelessly. He already learned from his granddaughter that this fella had a supreme existence behind him, perhaps unimaginably terrifying.

At the very least, there were all types of divine formations on the Heavenly Divine Mountain, but right now, they couldn’t force that existence to appear. This really was a bit terrifying.

Shi Hao was extremely modest. He first expressed his apology, and then he suggested that he should give the magical artifact to the Celestial Clan right now. Only later on, he opened his mouth several times, but he didn’t say anything as if he had some hidden troubles.

“Little friend, what is it? Is there any difficulty? Just say it!” Yun Canghai said in a very generous manner. Shi Hao was willing to take the initiative to give the object back, and this was exactly what they wanted. After all, there was a great deity behind Shi Hao, and Yun Canghai was just scared that he wouldn’t let it go.

“Well, our village’s formations have all decayed. We want to repair them, but we don’t have the materials,” Shi Hao said.

“That’s easy. In a bit, I’ll open up the treasury and have someone send over some for you to choose from.” Yun Canghai waved his hand, not caring at all.

“Normal materials aren’t enough. Our village is full of restricted formations, so we have to use divine materials to repair them.” Shi Hao said in a dejected manner.

Yun Canghai staggered, almost falling onto the ground. Shi Hao was demanding an exorbitant price. Even their treasury didn’t have that many divine materials, or else why would they ally with the other divine mountains?

“Well, the divine material is used to repair the archaic transport formation, it might not be enough. It will be difficult to give some materials away…” Yun Canghai said after some deliberation. He was scared that this was the will of the deity behind Shi Hao.

“It doesn’t matter, just a few of each type is enough. Our village isn’t that big.” Shi Hao had to be the most shameless person on earth.

Yun Canghai felt a wave of hesitation. If it was that great deity’s idea, then he didn’t want to offend the latter. He went to discuss it with the other clansmen.

In fact, even after the formation was repaired, there would still be quite a few divine materials left. Only, they were priceless, so who would be willing to give them away?

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Canghai spoke, these people shook their heads. This was especially true for the Golden Peng Race, who laughed coldly again and again. They were just short of coming over to settle things with Shi Hao.

Now that things reached this point, Yun Canghai had no choice but to reveal the truth, telling them that there might be a deity hibernating on the other side, one with a terrifying cultivation level.

These heavenly-ranked races sucked in a cold breath of air. They didn’t dare believe this, but they were also a bit discontent. This information came a bit late. If they knew this would happen, the Golden Peng Race definitely wouldn’t have dared to provoke Shi Hao.

Yun Jinhai’s expression was even more unsightly. He was a half-Peng creature and had always been arrogant. He always felt that losing to Second Baldy was strange, but now that he thought about it, he shivered inwardly.

Shi Hao’s eyes moved about as he stared at those people. He immediately guessed what was going on, and almost drooled. He ran over and said mysteriously, “Everyone, let me tell you a secret. Actually, there is a lord who wishes to borrow some divine materials.”

When everyone heard this, they were all horrified. They thought they had guessed it correctly. They couldn’t help but feel shocked. After looking at each other in dismay, they all nodded one after another, finally giving their consent.

Not only was the devilish brat drooling, but even the little pagoda gulped. It couldn’t remain calm in Shi Hao’s hair.

“Young friend, how many types do you need?” Yun Canghai asked.

“At least a dozen types.” Shi Hao pointed forward at the divine materials the various clans brought. He actually wanted to borrow a portion of each type.

When they heard these words, the elders’ vision darkened, and they even swayed a bit. That was a lot to ask.

“Well, it’s best if we borrow some other materials. Divine materials alone aren’t enough. After all, our village’s formations are too damaged, so we have to completely reconstruct them,” Shi Hao said shyly.

The elders felt suffocated. Why did they feel like this brat was so dishonest? That bashful smile looked extremely sly!

While the little pagoda was swallowing, Shi Hao carried the Heaven and Earth Pouch and began to put things inside. He nearly picked up half of the divine materials, making the elders jump up and stop him.

Despite this being the case, he still smiled shyly and scratched his head in embarrassment while taking nearly half of the pile.

“Seniors of the Peng Race, my lord said that he wanted to refine a Five Bird Fan, but right now, he still lacks a Golden Winged Peng’s true primordial feather. I wonder if you can help?” Shi Hao was said shyly again as he spoke in an embarrassed manner.

Jin Luantian had an urge to grab the brat, put him on his knee, and spank the kid.
