Perfect World Chapter 1448

Chapter 1448 - Ecliptic Old Nest
Shi Hao walked along the mountain path, staggering about with each step, the injuries he received really were too serious. His so-called dao foundation was wounded, leaving behind a scar from his flesh down to his soul.
This was extremely astonishing, forget about him, even Self Release Realm great cultivators’ faces would turn pale from this type of injury, immediately fleeing into the distance to recover.
It was because great dao injuries were the most serious. These were intangible injuries, difficult to heal from, resulting in a ninety-nine percent chance of death!
In normal battles, all cultivators would shed blood, even if an arm broke off, a leg removed, it still wasn’t strange, there were things much more bitter than this.
However, when they rested and recovered, they could completely recover from all of these injuries.
When one cultivated to the Heavenly Deity Realm, one could already regenerate broken limbs, just needing time, requiring vital energy, essence blood, and other things.
Meanwhile, once the foundation was injured, then it was extremely difficult. Normally speaking, it would accompany one for their entire life, and if it was a slightly more serious, then they were doomed to die, difficult to live through these injuries.
It was because damage to the foundation would continuously exhaust cultivators’ life source, and it would ultimately lead to the flesh drying up, the soul withering away, continuing all the way until the body died, dao was extinguished.
The so-called scattering of cultivation, started from the source.
Cough!
Shi Hao coughed out a mouthful of blood. The drops landed on the ground, splattering everywhere, many blood traces left behind the entire time, the scene extremely wretched.
His body was originally about to recover, but it was all because he recklessly moved his foundation again, displaying powerful cultivation, that led to his body being further damaged.
When the source was damaged, the flesh and soul would all be damaged as well. This was unavoidable!
“It’s not like this was the first time, I will make it through, and my cultivation is going to climb even a level higher!”
Shi Hao wiped away the blood from the corners of his lips, leaning against the mountain wall. His body was trembling slightly. His source’s injuries completely erupted, even standing now difficult. His back leaned against the ice-cold stone wall, body powerless, expression snow-white.
These injuries exceeded Shi Hao’s expectations, flaring out too fiercely. Recklessly using heavenly tribulation would return a corresponding ‘karma’ to begin with. This power was a type of taboo, there were just too many legends related to it!
It was rumored that the reason the Lightning Emperor’s achievements were so extraordinary was precisely because he gradually understood heavenly tribulation, displaying it in the heavens’ place, able to punish all living things, and that was why they died!
It was because heavenly tribulation involved too much, not something just someone who grasps the highest profound mystery of lighting dao was able to activate. There were other mysterious and unknown aspects.
The Lightning Emperor’s death was because the other side worried that he might grow to an unimaginable stage, and that was why they attacked with full force, taking action powerfully, burying him here.
In reality, according to some ancient secrets’ clues, there should be some karma of ‘heavenly tribulation’ itself’ that was involved, and this might very likely be the main reason!
“A mysterious power is affecting my body, damaging my cultivation. It immediately erupted so fiercely, seriously harming the dao foundation!” Shi Hao said to himself.
He used the Willow Deity’s method to treat himself, moreover activating his Sea of Reincarnation. Methods that weren’t related to this era also displayed great use right now.
The three streaks of immortal energy formed, winding about the Sea of Reincarnation, producing the three all life profound mysteries, creating life force, resisting the mysterious power that harmed his cultivation!
If it was in the past, resisting this great dao injury would have been extremely troublesome, but right now, Shi Hao supported his body with several types of ancient scriptures, using methods from different great eras to produce a strange type of resonation.
This was especially true with the Sea of Reincarnation, there was life and death, that place originally winding into a yin yang divine diagram. Right now, that Sea of Death was devouring the negative energy in his body, strengthening itself.
Meanwhile, the Sea of Reincarnation’s ‘Wheel of Life’ was also spinning, severing the dark energy within his body, forcing it into the Sea of Death, moreover using great life essence to nourish his body.
Hong!
Suddenly, a wave of terrifying power rebounded, almost making the Sea of Reincarnation collapse. It scattered the three strands of immortal energy, making even those ancient scriptures stop operating.
Shi Hao coughed out a mouthful of blood that carried a black color. It was extremely frightening, making his expression change.
He raised his head towards the sky. Was this a bit of that hidden karma power? He didn’t really believe this type of thing, but right now, he became a bit doubtful.
“What blasted thing is this? I will exterminate all of it sooner or later!” Shi Hao said coldly.
He began to think to himself, back to when he was in the lower realm’s eight regions. The little pagoda had frequently spoke the word ‘karma’, even speaking about the so-called ‘balance’. At that time, when he was still a small cultivator and trying to carry out an exchange, it was precisely to avoid some type of karma.
Could it be that when one’s strength reached a certain point, there really was this type of thing?!
“But I don’t believe any of this!” Shi Hao said to himself, as if he was strengthening his conviction.
“Anything that blocks my path, I’ll just cut it down!” Shi Hao’s eyes were resolute. He stared into the void, as if he wanted to see through something!
He was doubtful inside. Could it be that it really was because he crossed heavenly tribulation last time, so he was contaminated by a type of power he shouldn’t have provoked? Regardless of whether it was the Lightning Pool or the essence of the immortal killing guillotine, they both exceeded normal reasoning.
Perhaps this truly touched upon something!
Only, this was just too hard to pinpoint, practically no proof that this type of irregular power existed. That was why Shi Hao still didn’t really believe it.
Shi Hao took a deep breath, recalling the little pagoda, and also Willow Deity. Just where did that pure white bone gate lead? Where were they now?
There were too many questions. He really wanted to see those two, would they be able to reunite?
Without a doubt, Willow Deity had forgotten too much, no longer Immortal Ancient’s ancestral guardian spirit. It had previously broken apart apart, reborn after bathing in the flames of thunder. Later on, it suffered a disaster again, turning into a seed, reborn in the world, growing up again. After this type of rebirth, not much of its old memories were left, to the extent where they no longer existed.
It was always searching for something!
“I have to recover quickly!” Shi Hao said to himself. This mountain range was too dangerous, he couldn’t continue like this, or else he was going to die.
Shi Hao firmly believed that he could make it through. Back then, in the lower realm, he had previously suffered the curse power of the green copper rust, his great dao foundation completely destroyed, believed to be dead, his body buried outside Stone Village.
That time, he had used up an entire year of time before reviving from death!
“I will recover just the same now!” Shi Hao believed firmly.
At the same time, this also signified an opportunity. Once he prevailed over this dao injury, recovering his foundation, it would be like a rebirth through flames, ascending to a higher level. Regardless of whether it was one’s cultivation realm, strength, or the most meaningful potential and other things, they would all completely transform, upgraded to the greatest extent!
However, right now, there was a problem. His cultivation was too deep, this was a good thing, and this was also a bad thing.
When one’s cultivation realm was high, it allowed one to have more strength to resist dao injuries, prevent the body from being destroyed.
However, there were two sides to everything. Light wounds was one thing, one could quickly recover from them, but once the injuries exceeded a certain limit, then the meaning became completely different.
At that time, recovery also became more difficult.
There were some who said that Self Release Realm cultivators, once they had great dao injuries, there was hope of recovering from light injuries, but the serious ones signified despair, destined for death!
As for Supreme Being Realm, once the damage to the source was severe, then there wasn’t a trace of hope, one could only wait for death!
“Compared to before, it is harder to recover from injuries, but once I make it through, the returns should also be greater!” Shi Hao took in and released energy, harmonizing with the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Pure white world essence moved in and out of his mouth and nose, winding about himself, as if several pure white True Dragons were moving about.
A moment later, he stood up. After suppressing his great dao injuries a bit, he quickly left this place.
It was because this place wasn’t safe, others might find him. He needed to find a peaceful place to nurse himself.
Shi Hao turned into a wisp of smoke, his speed too fast. Even though his source suffered damage, he was still supported by terrifying strength, speeding along like a streak of lightning, not affected.
He entered a desolate land, the ground cold, hard, and blood red. This place was silent, countless divine bones all over the ground, all of them releasing a faint radiance, extremely terrifying.
This was the golden bull’s place of residence, Shi Hao returned again. He wanted to hide in its old nest!
It was because in Shi Hao’s opinion, even though there were many foreign creatures who came here, there weren’t that many in the Self Release Realm, which was why their current degree of danger didn’t exceed the golden bull.
This place was quiet. Even though the golden bull left, no creatures dared invade and loot its nest.
Apart from this, those divine medicines were all gone, the dried earth’s very depths connected to a verdant mountain range. The divine medicines and other things should all be hiding inside there.
Shi Hao naturally came here because he wanted to pick a few stalks of divine medicines. These were beneficial towards his great dao injuries, because they carried long life substance.
At the same time, he also wanted to obtain that Heavenly Deity Tree. If it really was like the legends, four ancient trees become one, then that would be a long life immortal medicine!
This place was quiet, regardless of whether it was the divine medicines or that ancient tree, they were nowhere to be seen, not a bit of aura left.
Shi Hao frowned. He tested things a bit, wishing to enter the verdant mountain range, but there was a mysterious domain here. Forcefully entering made him feel like he fell into a swamp, his movements becoming severely restricted.
He backed off, not forcing his way through, instead entering a cracked stone mountain in the desolate area. The golden bull came out precisely from this place, so he wanted to temporarily use this place to recover.
The golden bull shouldn’t come back for some time. With its vengeful nature, it most likely wouldn’t stop until all of the offenders were slaughtered clean.
There were quite a few foreign cultivators who rushed in, so things were definitely going to become lively now!
“This is…” When Shi Hao entered, he was shocked. There was an underground cave in the mountain that led down, entering the depths of the earth. There were caves everywhere, this place actually carrying a wave of mysterious great dao power.
The cavern wall was a light golden color, glistening and shining. There was a type of divine and auspicious aura spreading, as if he was before an unmatched immortal treasury.
Shi Hao was inwardly shaken. He felt like this place was extremely unusual. After carefully examining the rock walls, he discovered that it completely matched what was recorded in bone books. This type of stone was used to wrap around Ecliptic Immortal Gold, ‘Ecliptic Stone’ that produced Ecliptic Immortal Gold.
This thing was extremely precious to begin with, possessing powerful spirituality. Otherwise, how could it hold and produce unmatched Immortal Gold?
Shi Hao’s heart was pounding, his breathing a bit rough. This much Ecliptic Stone was too rare, much more than what was recorded in bone books.
The entire underground cave was made of Ecliptic Stone, was the Immortal Gold produced really just a foot in length?
Shi Hao really began to wonder if there was more Ecliptic Immortal Gold here, to the extent where there might even be a piece larger than the golden bull. This was especially since there was a type of mysterious great dao power here.
“Could it be that this isn’t the only creature? Apart from the golden bull, there are other creatures produced here?” Shi Hao said to himself. His pupils rapidly contracted.
Perhaps there was unimaginable great natural luck here!
There was so much Ecliptic Stone here, so it wouldn’t be surprising for there to be some type of immortal item produced at all!
Soon afterwards, Shi Hao found the golden bull’s nest. There was a golden pool flowing with golden liquid, immortal essence energy surging in this place, just too rich.
Shi Hao was immediately stunned, and then he was incredibly shocked.
There was even this type of thing? What kind of place was this?
