Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Immortal Mine
Just as Shi Hao was about to nod his head, Qi Daolin added, saying: “Although he is very strong, you are mostly no match for him, but… you must find a way to slay him for me!”
Momentarily after, Shi Hao didn’t like what he heard and his face fell, saying: “What do you mean, old man? I’ve already defeated him twice, can’t I kill him? Don’t destroy your own prestige!”
Qi Daolin sighed, saying: “If it weren’t for the rumors that came out recently, I wouldn’t have known that the one walking in the outside world is just his Second Body, I underestimated him.”
This was a serious problem, and he understood profoundly that the main body of the Successor of Immortal Hall would definitely be stronger, and once fused, his cultivation level would be hard to fathom.
In his view, the Successor of Immortal Hall even had the capital and confidence to compete with those freaks from ancient times.
When Shi Hao heard this, he was very unconvinced, saying: “How strong could he be?”
“So strong that it’s outrageous. It’s not as simple as just adding the main and Second Body together; he will suddenly explode in strength when they merge, his combat power erupting like a volcano,” Qi Daolin explained with a sigh.
Even he had not expected the Successor of Immortal Hall to secretly cultivate such an ancient technique, because it was very difficult to master and extremely dangerous.
Originally, it was thought that Immortal Hall was just experimenting with Yue Chan, but unexpectedly, their own successor also practiced it.
In this era, two people have actually succeeded!
Shi Hao frowned and asked: “Is it really that terrifying? What’s the origin of that ancient technique? If it’s not feasible, I’ll ask Qing Yi and also cultivate it.”
“It’s even more terrifying than you imagine, created by an Undying Being. But it’s better not to learn it. Splitting oneself into two bodies, a single mistake could lead to grave consequences.”
“Undying Being?” Shi Hao was startled, and instantly thought of the supremely powerful being that was once Suppressed under the Five Elements Mountains in the Lower Realm.
“That existence is terrifying. It is said to be the posthumous child of the oldest supreme being from this epoch and may be related to the giant Peng bird, although it’s just a legend,” Qi Daolin said.
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao’s inner gossip monger ignited, and he immediately started to inquire.
Qi Daolin shook his head. He had only heard some rumors. That Undying Being never saw its parents, had been sealed in primal chaos for a million years after birth, and only later came into the world.
Shi Hao was stunned. It truly was the being Suppressed in the Lower Realm!
“Immortal Hall possesses some world-defying secret techniques, but they did not create them themselves; they came from other lineages, and their hands are stained with blood,” Qi Daolin said with a cold smirk.
Shi Hao finally understood why the Undying Being, even though Suppressed under the Five Elements Mountains, was still difficult to kill.
“The techniques obtained by Immortal Hall are flawed and not complete. The Undying Being also split into two bodies, as long as one body dies and the other survives, it can be reborn. Moreover, each time it dies, it undergoes nirvana, has a life-death epiphany, and may become even stronger. This is the essential difference between the flawless technique and what Immortal Hall obtained.”
Splitting into two bodies and cultivating, upon merging, one would reach their strongest. However, the flawless technique of the Undying Being also allowed for life-death nirvana, further advancing one’s strength.
“So you see, to truly kill that Undying Being, unless both bodies are killed at the same time, otherwise, killing only one body each time will only deepen its epiphanies, potentially making it stronger,” Qi Daolin said.
Shi Hao asked where the Undying Being was now, as this entity would definitely be on his side. The news he got was the same as the rumors; it had already entered the depths of the vast No-Man’s Land!
“Is everything truly rooted there?” Shi Hao whispered to himself, feeling that the Willow Deity and Little Pagoda may have also ventured into the deepest part of the forbidden land.
And now, even Qi Daolin was going there.
“You must be careful with the determination of the Celestials Clan, and when I’m not around, you need to know how to protect yourself,” the old Celestial advised.
He specifically warned him that the Protector’s life was running out. After the defeat last time, he directly fled, probably to truly exert his last bit of warmth, and he might take drastic measures.
Of course, if the Protector of the Celestials Clan made a move, he definitely wouldn’t leave any traces; he would handle the matter very cleanly.
“I have means to protect myself,” said Shi Hao, with two World-breaking Talismans on him, so there was no need to worry. He was just waiting for the grand competition to start, and when he came out again, it might be a completely different scene.
He had heard that such a great battle of talents, at its shortest, also took a year, and the longest one astonishingly lasted a hundred years before those people came out.
During that longest time, someone even defied the heavens and directly achieved a Divine Seat.
“Well, do your best. Upon entering ‘Immortal Ancient’, aside from the greatest fortune, there are also other unparalleled Divine Fruits and Immortal Materials. Acquiring one kind will benefit you for life. For example, ‘Celestial God Fruit,’ if eaten, well!”
Qi Daolin’s eyes shone brilliantly; he felt regretful as he couldn’t enter himself, otherwise, he would have certainly swept clean the “Saint’s Wood,” “Celestial God Fruit,” and “Immortal Embryo” and the like.
Inside are too many Sacred Items, coveted by all the schools. This is also why they cultivate and encourage disciples to participate in the competition, even if they don’t win first place, as long as they come out alive, there will definitely be huge gains.
“Is there anything that needs attention? Like various dangers?” asked Shi Hao, seeking advice from experience.
“There are many dangers, and they’re never the same in each instance,” Qi Daolin said, then reminded him once again that even though the Celestials Clan had been defeated, they should not be underestimated.
Shi Hao muttered, the clan was in decline, and so-called Primordial You Yu, if he hadn’t recently fused with the Heavenly Destiny Stone, would not have been outrageously strong to fight him for that long.
“I knew you would be complacent. The Celestials Clan is not simple; in history, there was a young man who merged with three Heavenly Destiny Stones, known as Three-Stone Heavenly Monarch,” Qi Daolin said, shaking his head.
“What, merged with three Heavenly Destiny Stones, is his talent against the heavens?” Shi Hao was shocked. In the Primeval Times, there were Six Great Celestials, who were just six Life Stones.
There was actually one who had merged with three Heavenly Destiny Stones alone.
“His talent was average, not a Primordial. Before fusing, he was unknown,” said Qi Daolin, but seriously added: “However, he accomplished three perfect evolutions, no matter how poor the talent, it’s unimaginable.”
“Is he still alive?” Shi Hao frowned.
“It’s said he went missing unexpectedly while exploring an Ancient Immortal Ruin,” said Qi Daolin.
Next, he said: “The ‘Hundred Rivers Converge to the Sea’ already began the selection and registration, you haven’t been paying much attention, and now I don’t have much time left. You figure it out yourself.”
Shi Hao: “…”
This old man is too irresponsible, Shi Hao grumbled inwardly, weren’t some schools able to send candidates directly without going through various complicated procedures?
“Just find any lineage to blend in with, it’s not strict,” Qi Daolin clapped him on the shoulder.
Then he cautioned him about some issues to heed and said: “I should leave. I’m going to the Immortal Mine in Fire Province to see if I can come across some good fortune.”
“Immortal Mine?!” Shi Hao was shocked.
He knew that Fire Province had many Divine Mines, which produced all kinds of treasures from heaven and earth, and there was also a legendary Immortal Mine, but since ancient times, very few people had been able to enter; it was extremely dangerous.
“Why do you think I put my dojo here? It’s because I’ve been eyeing that ancient mine, waiting for many years. This time there might be a fleeting opportunity,” he said.
Qi Daolin had once stolen teachings from many families and had pilfered a bone shard from a sacred place, which contained some secret knowledge, through which he could detect the signs of the Immortal Mine’s emergence.
After many years of waiting, he finally saw the clues.
“Daolord, take me with you to broaden my horizons.”
“Alright!” Qi Daolin agreed heartily.
Fire Province was not all grassland; at its deepest part, it also had various landscapes.
It was a Gobi desert, without a single blade of grass, covered with gravel.
Master and disciple waited a full six days, nearly losing patience when anomalies finally occurred; the ground in the distance cracked and a radiant Immortal Light burst forth.
Moreover, as time passed, the sound of the road’s roaring thunder came from there, growing louder and louder.
Shi Hao gasped, while Qi Daolin had already stood tall, watching intently, his eyes as brilliant as burning torches, with Bone Text emerging all over his body.
“Boom!”
The ground broke open, and a mountain rose from underground, surrounded by chaotic mist, lofty and immensely tall.
At the side of the mountain, there was an ancient cave, spewing auspicious mists and Immortal fog, creating an astonishing scene. The roaring sound of the road was deafening, like a tsunami.
“After waiting so long, there’s finally a day of discovery!” Qi Daolin became unsettled, his complexion excited, emitting splendid characters as he rushed over with Shi Hao.
This was an ancient mine tunnel. As soon as they entered, they could feel a strong Sacred Entity’s aura which even made Qi Daolin tremble.
“Immortal Dao Aura?!”
If that was the case, he thought it might be worth it to simply turn this place into a hermitage, no matter what the cost!
However, he quickly stopped daydreaming as he sensed an aura that even spooked him; this was not a benevolent ground, there were unknown dangers!
“This… wasn’t formed naturally. It was excavated by someone!” Shi Hao said.
It would be better to call it an ancient hermitage rather than a mine. Further inside, it really was like a palace hall, and there were axe marks and sword cuts on the stone walls – clear signs that this was carved out.
“Something’s not right, these sword marks, axe marks… were left by peerless masters!” Shi Daolin’s heart trembled, as people as powerful as him rarely showed any concern for material things. But here, he repeatedly changed color.
“This is… the work of a supreme forbidden master!”
His pupils constricted as he stared at the cavern wall. The closer he looked, the more shocked he became because each mark contained indescribable road divinities, profound and unfathomable.
One must know that these were not left on purpose, not for imparting teachings, but just regular chiseling and axing, traces left from excavating this hermitage.
Yet even so, they displayed the mysteries of the road; it was simply unimaginable how terrifying these people were?!
Qi Daolin saw that these were not left by one person; there were at least five or six types of weapon marks, all from supreme masters, powerful enough to make one’s heart tremble.
“Is this Primeval Stone?” Qi Daolin finally recognized the origin of the hermitage’s stone walls, a revelation so startling that his eyes widened.
Such extravagance, it was actually Primeval Stone!
The so-called Primeval Stone, born in primal chaos, was unimaginably hard. Its value was comparable to that of World Stone, a naturally-born treasure raw material.
“Is there no justice in this world, to use such treasures to carve out a hermitage, they should be struck by thunder!” Qi Daolin exclaimed angrily, such a waste was too regrettable.
Primeval is often associated with True Immortals, and Immortal Materials like these only existed in the bygone era of Primal Chaos True Immortals.
An ancient hermitage from the Ancient Immortal Era? Realizing this, both master and disciple were startled.
Qi Daolin wanted to explore. He barely touched the axe marks on the stone wall with his hand when he trembled violently, quickly retreated, and his complexion looked rather unsightly.
Clearly, the traces left by several unparalleled masters of the past were too terrifying, containing the supreme force of the road.

He didn’t try again, because there was not much time; he couldn’t afford to delay too long, and he led Shi Hao deeper inside.
Soon, they understood the situation because there were many cracks on the walls of the tunnel, which were the result of mana shocks, appearing more like damage sustained during the clash of treasures.
“I get it, this is a fragment of a Primeval Stone, originally a treasure, but it shattered during a battle with someone, hence it was used to create this hermitage,” said Qi Daolin.
Otherwise, no one would be this extravagant!
Even so, it showed the extraordinariness of this hermitage. Carved by several supreme masters, it became an ancient mine… This place, shrouded in mysterious mist, filled them with anticipation.
