Perfect World Chapter 1687

Chapter 1687 - Homeward Journey
Heavenly Deity Institution, the innermost depths, on an extremely massive sacrificial platform rested a warship. It was dark green, flowing with metallic luster.
A group of children were standing on it, precisely the ‘sinner’s blood descendants’.
Now, they were no longer wearing ragged clothes, long changed into new clothes. The children were no longer filthy, washed clean, revealing their tender little faces.
The great war came to an end, blood and bone blossoming. Desolate Border’s chaos concluded.
They were going to follow Shi Hao far away, start new lives. They all felt a bit nervous, but also a bit excited, at the same time a bit lost.
“Goodbye!”
The children on the warship all waved their hands, saying their goodbyes to everyone who sent them off.
“Take care, everyone!” Shi Hao said, saying goodbye to everyone.
Outside the altar, there were many people, for example, Exiled Immortal, Great Xu Tuo, Princess Yao Yue, even Wang Xi.
Among them, Chang Gongyan, Cao Yusheng, Heavenly Horned Ant, and others were naturally not missing, some of their eyes becoming sour. After today, they really didn’t know if they could meet again.
Now that Huang chose to go back, head to the lower realms, if he wanted to leave that prison again, it would be extremely difficult!
Moreover, judging from his mental condition, it seemed like he didn’t want to come out again, from today forth, they would live far apart, unknown when they could meet again.
“Why do you have to go…” The little rabbit shed tears, actually crying.
“One day, I will go down to look for you! I hope the day comes when we can meet you again. Who knows, maybe I’ll be buried by you then.” Cao Yusheng’s voice was hoarse.
He never forgot the prophecy his master told him, long suspecting that the one who should appear was Shi Hao!
“After I look around the Nine Heavens a bit more, I’ll return to the three thousand provinces. Take care of yourself!” Chang Gongyan said.
In reality, there was a group of people who were returning to the three thousand provinces, but they didn’t move yet, choosing to temporarily remain in the Nine Heavens, visit the various sects, as well as the famous mountains and great rivers first.
They finally arrived in the Nine Heavens above, once they went back, it would be hard to come back up again.
Shi Hao looked in that direction. Of that large group of people who originally came from the three thousand provinces, there weren’t many left now.
Teng Yi, Zhen Gu, Feng Wu, and the others were alive, but what about the others? They all withered away, bones buried in a foreign land!
“It truly is regretful that I couldn’t fight it out with you. Even if I lost, it would have been an enjoyable defeat.” Ten Crown King sighed. His movements were powerful, like a young monarch.
“A freak like you with that crazy tree, who will want to fight with you? Even a random smack from it would completely destroy a place.” Cao Yusheng said.
This was naturally teasing. Everyone knew that Ten Crown King wanted to fight Shi Hao, and with his nature, he naturally wouldn’t use the World Tree Sapling.
Suddenly, loud crying sounded.
The Heavenly Horned Ant was extremely broken-hearted. “Shi Hao, you said you were going with me to kill He Wushuang, but… we didn’t even kill his descendant… I can’t accept this! My brothers and sisters all died under He Wushuang’s hands! This is so hateful… I hope you won’t just remain dejected, that you can walk out of that prison powerfully one day, slaughter your way into the other side with me!”
These were words of grief, as well as words meant to encourage Shi Hao.
However, this made everyone’s expressions change. Now, the great battle ended, there really weren’t many people who were willing to enter Desolate Border again. There were too many heroic spirits buried there.
Comparatively speaking, there weren’t that many people who died in this world. If Imperial Pass was broken through, then that would be unimaginable.
At the final moment, Immortal Academy’s Little Sky King, Nine Netherworlds Ao, and others who had previously clashed with Shi Hao also came to see him off. They waved in his direction, one glass of wine washing away all grudges. From today forth, they might never meet again, so what was there they couldn’t put behind them?
Shi Hao was moved. He produced an azure armor, saying, “Little Sky King, returning this!” With a shake of his hand, the armor flew out.
“I was scammed, what extra strand of immortal energy? At the Self Severing Realm, it doesn’t have much effects anymore.” Shi Hao said with a smile.
This armor was known as a priceless secret treasure, because it could allow the wearer to have an extra strand of immortal energy. Back then, Shi Hao seized it from that individual from Immortal Academy who provoked him.
However, reality proved that there were some heaven and earth natural laws that couldn’t be gone against!
“I’ll just gift it to you, just leave it with those kids, or pass it onto your disciple!” Little Sky King waved his hand, sending it back.
“Fine!” Shi Hao didn’t bicker with him over this.
Honglong!
The altar shone, becoming incomparably dazzling, about to open up an ancient path that led to the three thousand provinces.
This time, they didn’t go through Imperial Pass or the Desolate Border. It was a group of old figures who personally operated the formation, opening up a path for Shi Hao.
On the altar, auspicious multicolored light was endless, surging with life.
“You coming?” Shi Hao asked Shi Yi below the altar. They came from the same place.
“I am not!” Shi Yi shook his head. He chose to remain behind, not returning to the lower realm’s eight regions.
Chi!
A path appeared, piercing through the world.
The warship released a weng sound. It began to set off, entering inside.
Shi Hao turned around one last time, his eyes passing over the familiar faces one after another. He saw Qing Yi flying over from the distance.
She was waving her hand, shouting out some words.
However, he couldn’t hear them anymore. Divine brilliance surged. Shi Hao and the warship thus disappeared.
Inside the spatial passage, the green-gold warship moved steadily, passing through the realm wall. One could even vaguely make out the stars in the black cosmos, vast and boundless.
The ten earths of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths weren’t stars, but instead all ancient continents, every single piece large beyond compare. There was an endless starry sea separating them, even realm walls in the way.
The distance was extremely far, normal cultivators unable to find another ancient great continent even if they flew for over a hundred lifetimes.
As for the Nine Heavens, there were definitely realm walks in the way, each in their respective mysterious space. The great dao force was comparatively more complete and terrifying.
“What is that? There’s a ship!”
Suddenly, a child cried out in alarm.
In the distance, there was an ancient chip, incredibly massive, entirely pitch-black, dyed in blood. It silently passed by.
Shi Hao was startled, his expression immediately changing.
Chi!
Then, in another region, immortal light surged. He saw someone ascend to immortality in the limits of the rain of light, that area too brilliant.
“Achieved immortality?!” A young girl cried out in alarm, her rosy small face full of curiosity.
Shi Hao was shocked. Why did he end up encountering this type of thing?
Wenglong!
A palace appeared, surging with chaotic energy, majestic and dignified, rising and falling in the distance.
Shi Hao’s expression was serious, inwardly shaken. This was really unusual, an incomparably terrifying major event!
The blood-soaked black-colored ancient ship, the ancient palace that released chaotic energy, as well as the immortal ascension scene, these were the three most terrifying things he encountered along this spatial journey.
From past until present, not many people were willing to encounter any of these things. Because running into any one of these could mean death.
Today, Shi Hao actually ran into all three. How could he not be shocked, how could he not be alarmed?
The three most terrifying things all appeared at the same time?!
He opened his heavenly eyes, carefully examining these things. Something wasn’t right. That place was accompanied by a temporal aura, the power of the river of time.
“Shadows of history, imprints of time?”
He now relaxed a bit. Otherwise, if he encountered these three most inauspicious things that left most people in despair from past to present while bringing these kids, then it would definitely be extremely troublesome.
Hong!
In the distance, a long river of time stretched across. Sure enough, somehow, it triggered these remnant images.
En?
Shi Hao seemed to have witnessed a segment of history. However, soon afterwards, he was shocked, because he saw an indistinct figure that was breaking apart, covered in blood, splitting into six parts that rushed in six different directions. Was this individual dividing himself up and sealing himself? Why was it this intense?
Then, he saw the Immortal Smelting Pot, a great grave, as well as a sea.
These things all hurriedly passed in a flash, too quick!
There was no way the children could see these things, because even with Shi Hao’s cultivation, he could only capture some afterimages.
These were all time fragments left behind from the ancient times, time imprints, the past spatial afterimages.
He remained silent, not saying anything, Desolate Border’s great battle had ended, already concluded.
However, he instead felt like this world seemed to have become even more overcast, that something was going to happen sooner or later!
Hong!
The green warship trembled, rushing out of the spatial passage, arriving at its destination -- the three thousand provinces.
“Uncle, did we arrive?” A six or seven-year-old child raised his small face, asking nervously but also excitedly.
“This is a relay station, but we are now close. We are staying here for a few days first.” Shi Hao said.
He was going to seek out some ancient families, ask them about the paths into the lower realms.
“Three thousand provinces, I’ve returned!” Shi Hao released a sigh.
This great earth was vast and limitless.
This was a place of gratitude and grudges, many things happening here. He felt a bit sentimental. Back then when he first entered the higher realms, he was only a teenager.
In a flash, so many years passed. He could now already overlook a region!
“The assassin organization Heavenly Country, as well as Demonic Sunflower Garden, Underworld Earth, Immortal Palace, Celestial Clan, have you all been well?” Shi Hao’s eyes were cold.
Back then, these inheritances had all wanted to get rid of him.
“Desolate Border had troubles, yet none of you showed yourself. Now that the world is at peace, are you all going to appear now?” Shi Hao felt anger inside.
Only, this great continent was definitely not simple, because there might be an immortal struggling at death’s door here!
