Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Meeting Again
“No, I need to find the Divine Striking Stone quickly to protect me.” He felt that his body was undergoing changes and he needed to find a quiet place.
The rain poured heavily, shrouding the world in a vast whiteness.
Soon, Shi Hao was moved; the mountains below had actually turned scorched black, many peaks had fallen, and the heavy rain was unable to extinguish the green smoke, with lightning arcing through it.
During his tribulation, despite the distance, a large area of the mountains was still destroyed, showing how perilous the situation had been.
“Damn, you’re still alive.” The Divine Striking Stone flew over from afar, and upon meeting, it uttered these words, infuriating Shi Hao to the point of wanting to punch it.
“Scared me to death, just now the lightning was endless, pouring down from the sky, I thought you turned to char, was considering making you a burial mound with your clothes set atop.” Divine Striking Stone muttered.
The Emperor Butterfly also flew over, the scene just now was indeed astonishing; the place was enveloped by lightning like a hanging milky way, scaring them into only being able to flee and watch from afar.
“Quick, take me away, I need to enter seclusion.” Shi Hao immediately sat down on the ground; his chest bone was glowing, making his whole body uncomfortable, as if numerous ants were biting him.
A divine radiance pierced through the sky, Divine Striking Stone lit up, wrapping Shi Hao and taking him far away, this place was definitely not safe to stay, as the grandeur of his recent tribulation might have alerted some Ferocious Beasts.
They left far from there and landed in a mountain valley.
Shi Hao’s chest bone was in pain, the Liquid Thunder he swallowed transformed into the most essential life force rushing there, was this a sign of the Supreme Bone regenerating?
He was quite astonished; the Liquid Thunder from the Thunder Pool was extraordinary, indeed it made his chest tingle and numb, as if something was growing, but it seemed not quite like it.
Because other parts of his body were also uncomfortable.
“I have directed the nourishment of the Supreme Essence Blood throughout my body, can it still gather in my chest?” He was skeptical.
Indeed, this time it was different, from head to toe weak light was emitting from his body, with his chest area being the brightest, the whole body seemed like it was about to grow, undergoing some kind of transformation.
At the same time, Shi Hao was groggy and drowsy, hardly able to open his eyes, sleepiness washed over him, resistant as he may be, it didn’t work.
In the end, he collapsed among the flowers and fell into a deep sleep.
He didn’t know how long had passed before he finally awakened, feeling groggy, he opened his eyes, the morning glow was brilliant, a vast expanse of golden light showering upon him, warm and comforting.
The thunderstorm had already stopped, and it was now early morning.
Divine Striking Stone hid in the distance, watching him with a wary look, and Emperor Butterfly did the same.
“What’s wrong?” Shi Hao asked.
“You’re asking what’s wrong? In the middle of the night, you were exuding all sorts of mysterious symbols, nearly causing a disaster.” Divine Striking Stone looked terrified.
“I was causing trouble in the middle of the night? Tell me in detail.” Shi Hao furrowed his brow, unaware of it himself.
“Who knows what was going on with you, lying there, but your body was automatically flowing with all sorts of messy symbols, like opening the gates of Six Dao Reincarnations, extremely sinister and ominous.” Divine Striking Stone emphasized.
Shi Hao was speechless, he had no recollection, only feeling like he had slept deeply, it seems his body had undergone certain changes, making some instinctive reactions.
He carefully checked his condition, feeling stronger than ever before!
Beyond that, his body felt slightly different, but he couldn’t pinpoint how, suddenly exerting force, he stimulated the Primal True Solution, discovering many mysterious light spots on his body.
“Supreme Blood?”
Shi Hao was suspicious, feeling that some changes had occurred, but couldn’t figure it out at the moment.
The human body is marvelous, capable of unlocking abilities like Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, Telepathy, and other inherent treasures. Shi Hao felt, his transformation seems related to one such treasure.
He couldn’t find it now, but it should be related to the Supreme Bone and blood.
“Never mind, it’s a transformation for the better anyway.” Shi Hao donned a Vestment robe, taking Divine Striking Stone and walked out of the valley.
During this time, he took some Liquid Thunder to feed the Emperor Butterfly, making the stone envious and longing to transform into a flesh and blood body, also devouring a few sips.
Shi Hao deeply comprehended, this tribulation success truly made him much stronger, unprecedented, standing at the peak he could currently achieve.
From now on, he felt he could be much more composed, just waiting for the battle among the geniuses of the Three Thousand States, to verify his achievements!
“Is the so-called Six-Crowned King looking for me?”
Shi Hao revealed a strange expression; such a young Supreme, once recorded in ancient texts, outrageously strong, had once again emerged, and was actually seeking him out.
Clothed in white like snow, Six-Crowned King Ning Chuan was extraordinary and holy, from his birth distinct, bearing a heavenly diagram, with a dragon pattern on his forehead, that night, as he emerged from his mother’s womb, divine light shone all around, the whole of heaven and earth as bright as daytime.
Some said, he might be the reincarnation of a supreme forbidden being!
Yet, reincarnations had never had real proof; this was just talk.
Others said, he was related to immortals, inheriting the foundations of Immortal Dao, having a supreme imprint merging with him while still in the womb, creating his incomparable path of Dao.
“I came for the Descendant of Sinful Blood, whose forehead bone emits holy light, and sin breaks the clouds; the Dao needs protection and cannot be desecrated.” These were his words when he arrived in Sin State.
When Shi Hao learned of this, he looked towards the distant sky.
In a trance, he seemed to see through time and space, a white-clothed enemy pressing down the heaven and earth, blood surging, Dao thundering, dragons chanting through the nine heavens, waiting in the distance.
“Such boast!”
Shi Hao spoke coldly, regardless of who that person was, no matter how extraordinary, he was fearless, ready to fight to the end if he entered Immortal Ancient!
Six-Crowned King Ning Chuan had already left, Sin State was so vast, he couldn’t possibly linger in this area.
Moreover, there were rumors that another ancient freak was born, eager to see Ning Chuan.
“Li Fire City.” Shi Hao’s heart stirred slightly.
This was the information he seriously gathered upon returning to the Fire Nation Capital, the father and daughter who had come from the Lower Realm, were very likely in Li Fire City.
The information was vague, but having such a clue was already good, Shi Hao immediately set out, he wanted to meet the father and daughter of the Fire Nation, both of whom had been kind to him.
They had once helped him, allowed him to cultivate in the Fire Nation Ancestral Ground, even the Fire Emperor himself had personally preached and guided him.
The great battle was about to begin, Shi Hao hoped to see Huo Ling’er again before entering Immortal Ancient, otherwise, who knows how many years later it would be.
He didn’t want years later for things to be completely different, carrying regrets in his heart.
Li Fire City, surrounded by many Fire Mulberries, carrying scarlet mists, some ancient trees of thousands of years were throbbing with intense flames, waves of heat assailing him.
The Fire Nation, founded on fire, established their teachings with fire as well.
They naturally drew close to fire; thus, their habitat was filled with such old trees.
Shi Hao arrived, coming to the edge of the vast Fire Mulberry Forest. Here people were laboring–picking mulberry leaves and feeding fire silkworms, with frequent eruptions of blazing flames.
In the forest, the temperature was not low. Fire silkworms crawled on the leafy mountains, nibbling at the mulberry leaves, each one in a scarlet glow with circulating symbolic lights.
The silk spun by these creatures was incredibly tough and could be crafted into precious garments. It was considered a unique insect with significant combat abilities.
Some young girls were there, picking mulberries and looking after the fire silkworms.
“Huh?”
Without meaning to, Shi Hao looked back and saw a figure also picking mulberries. His body suddenly froze, staring blankly.
That figure turned around, a bamboo basket on her back, radiating a scarlet glow, filled with Fire Mulberry leaves. She was dressed in coarse hemp but had skin as white as snow, naturally stunning.
Huo Ling’er!
There was no arduous search, no encounter after falling into adversity, just a plain and natural meeting like this.
Yet, Shi Hao’s heart trembled, as a special emotion welled up inside him.
Huo Ling’er was tall, her eyes bright and clear, naturally beautiful, her face covered in sweat as she picked mulberries in a way that seemed quite natural.
Her clothes were rough and simple, washed white, serene yet ethereal as she labored there, quite unlike her vivacious and outgoing past.
A princess of a country, now picking mulberries here.
Shi Hao felt somewhat stifled inside, silently watching before stepping forward.
At that moment, Huo Ling’er turned around, the bamboo basket on her back, and walked in a particular direction.
Shi Hao said nothing, stood still for a moment at a distance, then followed her.
A thatched cottage, with the Fire Mulberry Forest behind and bamboo groves in front, very quiet and down to earth; in the courtyard were some natural stumps serving as seating.
Excessively simple, even somewhat shabby compared to the once splendid and palatial buildings, now all turned into scenery of the past.
Ling’er put down the bamboo basket, carried a wooden bucket, and went to wash clothes near the riverbank, her tall figure and beautiful face serene and focused.
For some reason, Shi Hao felt even more stifled inside.
Feeling something, Huo Ling’er suddenly turned and looked over.
The man in green clothed, very delicate looking, his eyes bright and clear, also showing excitement and some heartache, was staring blankly at her.
In that moment, Huo Ling’er’s heart thumped wildly, the youth before her had a different face, yet those clear eyes and the same aura were unmistakable.
“You are…” Huo Ling’er’s heart trembled, staring at him, not wanting to cry, but tears welled up in her eyes, glistening as they fell.
“It’s me.” Shi Hao walked forward.
“Clang!”
The wooden bucket fell to the ground, and tears continued to fall from Huo Ling’er’s eyes as she trembled: “You… are still alive.”
These words carried so much meaning.
“Swoosh!”
From behind the thatched cottage, in the Fire Mulberry Forest, a gray shadow rushed out, bringing gusts of astral wind. It gradually shrank from several meters long to just half a foot, fluttering its small wings and landed on Shi Hao.
“Little Wolf.”
This gray little wolf, a descendant of the wolf god that Shi Hao had obtained from the Hundred Shattered Mountains, had been left in the care of Huo Ling’er. After so many years, its spirit-sensing nose still recognized that familiar scent immediately.
Shi Hao hugged Little Wolf, striding towards the riverbank, greeting Huo Ling’er.
“I knew, you would certainly survive…” Huo Ling’er said with a smile, but tears were falling down her cheeks, creating a truly natural beauty.
The Seven Gods Descending was known to many schools in the higher realms; many people were aware that Huo Ling’er had come up from below, how could they not pay attention?
Back in the day, hearing Shi Hao confronting the Seven Gods, only to ultimately perish, she felt disconsolate and struggled to accept it.
Eventually, hearing that a youth named Qin Hao had ascended was Shi Hao’s brother, it touched her deeply, and she often shed tears when thinking of her old friend.
Little Wolf turned into half a foot long, jumped to the ground, and tugged at Shi Hao’s pant leg, urging him to follow.
In the Fire Mulberry Forest behind the thatched cottage, there was a mound of earth with no tombstone or coffin, only the young man’s battle clothes buried there.
Shi Hao’s heart trembled, turning to Huo Ling’er.
Her face streaked with tears, she said, “Hearing the news, I couldn’t believe it, yet I had to accept it.”
This was the tomb she had made for Shi Hao, not far from the thatched cottage.
Shi Hao’s eyes felt sore as he looked at her, unable to speak for a long time.
“We were so worried, Ling’er often grieved and cried.” Little Wolf spoke; as a descendant of the wolf god, he was naturally extraordinary.
Shi Hao was deeply moved. Since arriving in the higher realms, he hadn’t been there long but had experienced much, constantly in life-threatening situations, yet he didn’t know that someone far away had been constantly thinking of him, shedding tears in sadness.
“You… are also Desolate, the one with sacred light bursting from his forehead bone, and Sinful Blood surging in the clouds?” When Huo Ling’er heard him slowly recounting everything, she was particularly shocked.
Shi Hao helped wipe the tears off her face, nodding his head, informing her of everything.
“Dang…”

The distant chime broke through the air, spreading across the land, and at that moment no matter how far apart, all Cultivators heard it.
Shi Hao jerked his head up, knowing that Hundred Rivers Converging to the Sea, the grand battle of talents across the Three Thousand States was about to begin, the moment had finally arrived!
“You…going like this is too dangerous, Six-Crowned King, Successor of Immortal Hall, and others, these people are ruthless.” When Huo Ling’er heard the chime, she also knew that this life’s most intense and brilliant clash was about to start.
“Don’t worry, wait for my return. Whether he’s the Six-Crowned King, Successor of Immortal Hall, or anyone else even more formidable, if they target me, I will suppress them all,” Shi Hao said.
Just like in the past, as if meeting in the Hundred Shattered Mountains, he was flamboyant and confident. (To be continued.
