Perfect World

Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Forbidden Existence in the Lower Realm
 

Purple qi came from the east, lightning interwove, and the entire Central Heavenly Palace was submerged. Thunderous channels roared, astounding onlookers.

Had it not been for the Divine Spirit Formation’s protection, no matter how majestic any palace was, it would have been reduced to ashes of catastrophe. Golden symbols flowed, fending off the storm, dissolving it into nothingness.

In the great hall, Shi Hao’s body was charred, resembling a piece of charcoal. He was researching the Suan Ni Divine Technique, controlling the lightning considered to be at the forefront of offensive power, inadvertently causing a chaotic dance of electric brilliance.

It was the strongest precious symbol of a true Primordial Ancient Ferocious Beast, and also Stone Country’s guarding Divine Skill, of infinite might, far surpassing the legacy techniques he had previously obtained.

These days, he continuously studied and had already made astonishing progress. However, to fully understand and perfect it, more time was needed for accumulation.

The Heavenly Palace was the most suitable place for cultivating. Not only was it abundant in Primal Qi, but also because of the Divine Spirit Formation’s protection, one could try any technique without worrying about destroying the place.

The snapping and popping sounds echoed, Shi Hao’s joints crackled as he shed a layer of old skin, the charred blackness retreating. Now strong to such an extent, he could quickly recover from external injuries.

Moreover, housed within the Heavenly Palace was a Spirit Pool, where spring water gushed abundantly, greatly beneficial to the body. Shi Hao bathed in the Spiritual Spring to cleanse himself and then changed into a clean set of clothes. He sat down to meditate for a short while, carefully pondering the thunder techniques.

“Spring thunder is approaching. I need to enter the clouds to carefully comprehend the lightning dao inherent in the natural world, so I can quickly understand the Suan Ni Divine Technique completely,” Shi Hao murmured to himself.

At the same time, he also desired to seize a grand opportunity. Within the thunderous tempest not only lay destructive power but also burgeoning vitality; within it was the Liquid Thunder, invaluable as a city of gold.

Back at the Heaven Mending Sect, a drop of Liquid Thunder was touted as a precious treasure, and every thunderstorm would reveal a pool. If he could acquire it, it would be possible to bathe his body, enhance his cultivation path, with limitless wondrous uses!

However, that substance was extremely rare and hard to capture. Even highly cultivated individuals struggled to obtain it, for the force of lightning would surge violently at that time.

When he finished cultivating, Fairy Yue Chan stepped in. Her snow-white garments were spotless, and she exuded a transcendent and ethereal beauty. She seemed like a figure stepping out of a painting, holding a Jade Plate with a cup of fragrant tea on it.

If outsiders knew that a Fairy from the Heaven Mending Sect attended a man in such a manner, they would surely think madness had taken hold. How could such a fantastical event occur?

The witch had left a few days ago, believing that earth-shattering changes were imminent. She had gone to prepare.

Fairy Yue Chan handed Shi Hao a snowy white towel, allowing him to wipe his face obediently, like a proper Maid by his side.

Of course, at her core, she was proud; she would not yield easily. Now, it was only the force of the circumstances that compelled her. Confronted with this domineering youth, she felt somewhat unable to resist.

No one had ever dared such disrespect towards her, but now the situation was stronger than the person. As a captive, if she resisted too fiercely, she might suffer even greater losses.

Having sipped a cup of fragrant tea, Shi Hao put down the transparent Jade Cup, turned to look at the peerless beauty standing by his side, and with a slight smile, said, “You are by my side. Do you wish to obtain Kun Peng’s technique?”

As ethereal as a fairy, Yue Chan’s limpid eyes blinked, and she opened her vibrant red lips, just about to say something, when she suddenly let out a piercing scream.

“Smack!”

Because on her full, perky bottom, a detestable hand had slapped down and lingered there, a defilement that made her indignant and flushed her face to the roots.

This expression, if seen by the outside world, would have surely left them dumbstruck, unprecedented as it was.

Fairy Yue Chan, using her jade hand, attempted to swat the hand still resting on her bottom. It was outrageous, and at the same time, she felt a burning pain and numbness below; such a terrible feeling should not happen to a fairy.

Shi Hao didn’t withdraw his hand, still caressing there, while his eyes shone, shooting out two astonishing beams of Divine Radiance that entered into Yue Chan’s brow.

He did so intentionally, startling the Fairy from the Heaven Mending Sect, causing her to be momentarily distracted, then took advantage of this to probe her sea of consciousness, to spy on her true thoughts.

Fairy Yue Chan was immobilized and subjected to a sneak attack, her heart suddenly thrown into confusion, and it was a success.

Her Divine Sense was powerful; it could not be completely restrained. If truly barging into her sea of consciousness, she would naturally launch a full counterattack, but this time Shi Hao managed to break through.

Undoubtedly, Fairy Yue Chan’s sea of consciousness was an absolute forbidden territory with heaven-shattering secrets, including her own origins, the Heaven Mending Technique, and the True Dragon Precious Art, among others.

The leaking of any secret would unleash tumultuous waves.

“Did it succeed?” Shi Hao was pleasantly surprised, as it had gone so smoothly.

Suddenly, his expression changed. In front of the sea of consciousness, he saw a pair of golden gates closely shut, impenetrable. This was the true core.

The earlier breakthrough into the area had little value; this was the most Sacred Entity, the pristine forbidden zone of Fairy Yue Chan.

“Golden gates, why is there a Divine Spirit’s aura?” Shi Hao was quite shocked. What was happening here? A grand force guarded it, making him cautious.

Shi Hao stepped forward and pushed hard against the golden gates, indeed robust and indestructible, guarding all secrets.

“Open for me!”

Shi Hao exerted himself, his Divine Sense manifesting a small figure wielding Kun Peng’s technique, forcefully challenging the gates.

“Dong!”

At last, the golden gates trembled, and he managed to nudge them open just a crack. Instantly, a Sacred golden force surged out, vast and formidable.

He sensed something amiss. This was her sea of consciousness, where Fairy Yue Chan had home-field advantage, an endless upper hand. If he forced his way in, there might be danger.

Because now it was no longer a sneak attack, and the opponent was surely prepared.

“This power…” Shi Hao was amazed as he now sensed a very strong presence of Divine Sense, with strands and threads of Divine Spirit Aura, their brilliant light flowing and shimmering.

He had a premonition that Fairy Yue Chan was an incredibly noble lady of the higher realms, her status frighteningly high. It could be that someone was guarding her Primordial Spirit, leaving their power in her sea of consciousness.

“No, it’s more like the power she generated herself. What kind of fortune has she encountered to possess the aura of Divine Spirits?” Shi Hao’s expression changed quickly.

He pushed against the golden portal again, widening the crack slightly and peering inside. In the Sacred Entity’s deep sea of consciousness, there was an endless golden ocean with an immeasurable immortal palace floating within, where a woman sat cross-legged as if in slumber, her entire body glowing golden and exuding a holy flawlessness, like a True God.

Although she was quite hazy, she looked incredibly solemn and pure, her physique tall and slender, perfect to the point of astonishment.

“Something’s not quite right.” Shi Hao felt a chill in his heart and backed away, allowing the golden portal to close without trying to force his way in again.

With a flash of rosy light, Shi Hao retreated and returned to his body. Yue Chan, who had been in a daze for a moment, also came to her senses and couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise because the hand on her shapely bottom was still there.

“Slap”

Shi Hao gave her buttock a smack before retreating, gazing at her, again and again, to confirm that she was indeed not simple. If he hadn’t taken a closer look, he might have missed something.

However, he was not afraid. It was not a bad thing to have an unparalleled beauty “to delight the eye and purify the mind” by his side.

Fairy Yue Chan did not speak but backed away, the expression on her snow-white and crystal-clear face changing unpredictably. She really wanted to trample Shi Hao under her feet, but she was unable to do it at the moment.

“Yue Chan, we’re short on time, when is our wedding night?” Shi Hao asked lazily.

He felt that no matter what secrets she had, he could respond with ease. If by accident, the pretense turned into reality and he took a fairy back to Stone Village, it would surely provoke astonishment.

“There is a goddess in the sea of consciousness, quite strange.”

“What are you muttering?” Yue Chan asked.

“Nothing, taking my own fairy wife will make the goddess weep. Come on, give your husband a hug.” Shi Hao said with a smile, opening his arms and advancing.

“I’m going to make tea!” This time, Fairy Yue Chan was incredibly nimble, arching her back to dodge, then swiftly fleeing the Heavenly Palace with her long jade legs.

“Ha ha…” Shi Hao laughed heartily. Teasing a fairy of the Heaven Mending Sect turned out to be this much fun.

“Crack!”

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion sounded throughout heaven and earth, as a giant lightning bolt tore across the sky, splitting the entire firmament apart.

“Has the spring thunder arrived? It’s time to cultivate the Suan Ni Divine Technique to perfection. But isn’t this going to postpone my wedding night?” Shi Hao sighed.

However, he immediately felt something was off; that lightning was far too vast, still lengthening, filling up the whole world.

Could the Cultivators of the three sects be attacking again? He had waited many days and saw no movement from the other side, which did not seem quite right.

At this moment, Little Pagoda, who had gone out for several days to investigate the wasteland, returned. It flew out from a channel circulating with Yin and Yang Dual Qi and landed within the Heavenly Palace.

“There’s a big one coming down!” said Little Pagoda.

“People from the higher realms have finally descended?!” Shi Hao was shocked.

“Indeed, I’ve already sensed the impending blood and storm, a taboo existence that will shake the ages is about to fall!” Little Pagoda said seriously.

It was nine-colored lightning, the atmosphere terrifying, accompanied by chaotic mist, overshadowing the heavens, an awe-inspiring sight as if the whole sky had broken apart.

The lightning came quickly and left just as fast.

But that oppressive feeling did not fade, evidently, someone was piercing through the realm barrier, descending from another world with difficulty, about to appear in the wasteland.

“What do we do, should we call upon the Willow Deity? When it comes to a critical moment, you all should take action together,” Shi Hao asked.

“We’re just watching the show,” said Little Pagoda in a low voice, aware of how serious the situation was. To vie for fortunes and opportunities now was likely to risk one’s own life.

It glowed all over but had severed itself from Heaven and Earth to prevent its own mark from leaking out. Then, it activated an Ancestral Sacrificial Altar within the imperial palace, using it to monitor the world.

From this, one could see how extraordinary Little Pagoda was; casually arranging something on the altar of sacrifice allowed it to see over the entire wasteland and find people descending from the upper realms.

The first stop was to monitor the Fire Nation Capital through the Ancestral Sacrificial Altar. Today, it had become a ruin. The nine-colored lightning surged there, the sky shattered, and a gigantic foot painfully stepped down.

Shi Hao was enormously shocked; that foot was too large, more expansive than the clouds, covering the sky, stepping on nine-colored lightning, surrounded by endless chaotic mist, with divine might eclipsing the world.

“It’s aiming for the Supreme Divine Deposit!” said Little Pagoda solemnly.

Then, the scene shifted, and it began to examine another place—Medicine City.

Hundreds of miles away from Medicine City, in a valley, the sound of a huge Archaic Devil Bird roared, Heaven and Earth thundered, and chaotic mist surged as a divine root glowed, accompanied by the sounds of chanting.

“This thing is about to come into the world, and who knows what kind of taboo existence will act. This is the First Divine Root from the upper realms!” Little Pagoda became even more serious.

“Boom!”

Just as it finished speaking, the heavens shattered like glass, and a giant purple hand reached down, vast and enveloping, shrouded in a cloudy chaotic mist! (To be continued.
