Chapter 1814 - Heaven and Earth Great Changes

What was going on? Did he really achieve the dao?

At this point, Shi Hao still felt a bit of hesitation right now. Why did the tangible great dao that took form in the end disappear?

Moreover, he didn’t obtain the blessing of heavenly dao, not obtaining the auspicious baptism. He just calmly made it through the great tribulations just like that? It didn’t seem that realistic.

Roar…

A lion’s roar sounded from the distance. The golden lion stepped on the heavens, running over, extremely fast, its power tremendous.

The massive lion body made even the sky dome tremble.

The golden lion’s cheeks were streaming with tears, howling out, this type of appearance leaving even Shi Hao shocked. Were they really that close?

“Thank the heavens you didn’t die, I didn’t have to accompany you to the grave.”

When Shi Hao heard this, he immediately understood. It was because they had a contractual agreement. It was scared that once he died, it would also die with him.

“What happened? You failed?” The golden lion asked. “You failed, yet could still survive? You really are an undying freak!”

It was a bit upset at this injustice.

“What are you trying to say?” Shi Hao stared at it.

Then, he displayed a bit of his power, normally releasing it. In that instant, this heaven and earth became different, this world starting to tremble.

Mountains and rivers shook, sun and moon becoming blurry, as if everything was going to come crashing down.

The golden lion was horrified, all of its fine hairs standing on end. It couldn't take it anymore, shivering all over. In the end, it really was disappointing, directly falling weak onto the ground, shaking over there.

This was beyond its control. This was a type of pressure that originated from its soul, making it unable to even raise its head, forcing it to lay on the ground.

It was just too terrifying.

However, something wasn’t quite right? Why was so much time wasted? It recalled that when others achieved the dao, there was no way it would last this long. This wasn’t normal at all!

Shi Hao restrained his power. He had to be more careful, he couldn’t let his fluctuations leak outwards. All of the aura had to be kept inside his body, or else there would be a huge problem.

A single mistake, if he released his aura leak out, then it might cause other creatures to directly perish.

When the golden lion returned to normal, it carefully and seriously asked, “During these few weeks, just what were you doing?”

“Achieving the dao, resisting the interrogation of heaven and earth.” Shi Hao replied.

“What?!” The golden lion could not remain calm any longer. It was extremely shocked, looking like it had seen a ghost. How could this be possible?

Wasn’t it said that only one or two days was needed? Were there any heaven and earth interrogations that lasted more than ten days?

It was completely normal for it to last only a day or two!

“What is your current situation like?” The golden lion was skeptical.

Shi Hao looked at it. He didn’t hide anything, because he knew this lion came from the other side, its experiences vast. The other side’s experts were as numerous as clouds in the sky, so it definitely knew many secrets regarding the supreme being dao.

When the golden lion listened to everything, it became completely stupefied.

“Not blessed by heaven and earth, didn’t obtain its baptism, you were the one who replenished your own essence energy? This…”

The golden lion felt that it was strange no matter how it thought about it. In the end, it couldn’t help but say, “Does this count as achieving the dao? You basically forcibly stuck it through, the great dao isn’t even willing to mess with you, turning its back on you, feeling like you are too troublesome!”

It was making sarcastic comments while in shock. This was just too inconceivable! What kind of state was Huang in? He didn’t completely succeed, instead sticking it through tenaciously like an undying roach?

Did this even count as achieving the dao? It wasn’t sure.

After hearing what it said, even Shi Hao was a bit speechless. When he carefully thought about it, he really did forcibly stick it through, not succeeding, but not failing. He didn’t know if he succeeded or not.

“The great dao’s blessing towards supreme beings affects too many things. You didn’t obtain those things, can you even be considered a supreme being?” The golden lion was confused.

Shi Hao was also thinking to himself. His strength clearly increased, reaching a terrifying level. He believed that if he met Jin Taijun or Wind Clan’s old ancestor, he definitely didn’t have to run anymore.

If he was strong enough, then he could be just like Great Elder, directly smack Jin Taijun repeatedly in the face.

Stone Village seemed far, but for Shi Hao, even the other end of the world was close.

Under his feet appeared a great golden path that stretched across the Wasteland Region, directly arriving before the village. He directly crossed countless li, descending at the front of the village.

The villagers cheered, immediately erupting with noise.

When they saw Shi Hao return alive, how he was calm and unaffected, this was the best information.

“My child, how do you feel?” The expressions of Qin Yining and Shi Ziling both immediately changed from fretfulness to joy. Qin Yining wiped away her tears, a smile appearing on her face.

Yun Xi also arrived, her figure slender and elegant, quiet like a calm orchid. When her purple clothes fluttered about, she was like a lunar goddess who descended into the world of mortals, beautiful and otherworldly. Right now, her eyes also revealed joy, feeling a happiness from deep within.

“Uncle came back! This is too great! He definitely achieved the dao, becoming unmatched under the heavens!” A group of youngsters cheered, quickly rushing over.

“Child, everything is good as long as you return, as long as you are safe!” The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng completely relaxed. During these past few days, he had always felt apprehensive, fearing that something happened to Shi Hao, a bit of tears clouding his old eyes as well.

Right now, Shi Hao understood that he couldn’t die no matter what. The entire village viewed him as their pillar. If he fell, then the consequences would be unfathomable.

“Cheap master, your life really is tenacious. You could even make it through this kind of danger?” The crimson dragon spoke. However, when its words just finished, it was sent flying by Shi Hao’s foot, disappearing without a trace.

Of course, he was extremely careful, restraining his aura and fluctuations, or else that scarlet dragon might directly turn to ashes, not even a true dragon able to hold on.

“Haha, this is great! You really succeeded?” The Zhuyan jumped about.

“Heheh, I didn’t expect my brother to have become a supreme being! From now on, who dares challenge me? They’ll be scared to death! I need to hurry and cultivate the Great Black Tortoise God Fist!” Third Blackie stuck its head out, a vulgar appearance on his face.

“Go, stay off to the side and practice your turtle fist or whatever! Don’t randomly act like you’re so close!” The big red bird smacked it off to the side with a wing.

…

Stone Village held a huge celebration!

Only after several days did the village calm down a bit.

“Changes have taken place in this world, the essence energy seems to have become thin, and it seems to continuously be thinning!” The Zhuyan sought out Shi Hao, saying this.

In reality, the old clan chief, Shi Ziling, Yun Xi, and the others also sensed it. They all looked towards Shi Hao. These people came together to hear how he felt.

Shi Hao was even more sensitive, sensing everything clearly the moment he returned. During these few days, he had visited other places in the eight regions, discovering that it was like this everywhere!

He even more so entered Void God Realm before, asking Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder for advice. Those two were extremely serious, saying that the dao of the world has changed, that a terror was going to descend on this world.

“The world is changing. I reckon that a great problem has happened in the higher realms. I will go and take a look!” Shi Hao said. He decisively took action.

Before leaving, he looked at Yun Xi, transmitting sound, “The world is in chaos, my dao companion, so we must be apart more than we are together. I will first make a trip through the Nine Heavens.”

Towards Yun Xi, he felt a bit ashamed. For the sake of cultivation, for the sake of becoming a supreme being as soon as possible, he agreed to his parents’ request, becoming dao companions with Yun Xi.

However, during the night of the bridal room, he directly comprehended the dao, going into seclusion cultivation.

“I will wait for you!” Yun Xi only had these words.

Shi Hao left. When he passed by Heaven Region, the lord of the restricted region immediately became endlessly shocked. He never expected Shi Hao to directly reach this step.

“It is quite strange, it hasn’t fully matured yet. However, I believe you will complete it.”

Shi Hao nodded. He pursued the extreme dao, had to perfect it. Being able to reach this step could already be considered breaking a legend.

Shi Hao reached the higher realm, the journey going smoothly. That ancient path was now not an issue for him at all, unable to hinder his steps.

The moment he left Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, he immediately frowned, because he clearly sensed that this world became different. The spiritual essence had declined steeply, to the extent where it was even a bit sparse.

Comparatively speaking, it had dropped a huge amount!

“There are great changes happening to the world!”

Shi Hao rushed out, flying into the distance. Soon afterwards, he saw roiling black clouds, raging flames overflowing into the heavens.

Was this darkness matter? What was going on in the three thousand provinces? Was it completely occupied by the creatures of darkness?

He looked into the distance. The darkness army actually advanced into this province, displaying world engulfing might!

Soon afterwards, Shi Hao met a few creatures. He asked them for details, completely shocked at what he heard.

Half of the three thousand provinces fell under the hands of the darkness creatures.

A thousand five hundred provinces had shifted owners!

The reinforcements of Immortal Domain couldn’t stop them?

Moreover, recently, there was another major event that happened, leaving everyone terrified. The creatures of darkness temporarily stopped fighting Immortal Domain, having a temporary ceasefire.

“The world is devouring itself, doomsday is approaching!”

This was what an elder said to Shi Hao with a trembling voice.

In reality, quite a few people knew this, because it was spoken by Immortal Domain’s guests. They immediately sensed the abnormalities, and then soon afterwards, there were shocking changes as expected.

The Nine Heavens Ten Earths, those ancient lands, were floating, about to connect together, returning to one world.

The most shocking change was that the great dao became distant, spiritual essence would gradually dry up, entering dark times that weren’t suitable for cultivation, perhaps even an era that didn’t allow for it!

Even Immortal Domain’s creatures were horrified, trying to think of countermeasures, fearing that this would extend into Immortal Domain.

Moreover, the creatures of darkness all temporarily stopped. They were also hesitating, only watching.

“Not good!” Shi Hao frowned. This wasn’t suitable for his growth at all.

The cruelest era was about to arrive, yet it wasn’t suitable for cultivation. Being born in this era was the sorrow of all creatures in this world.

Shi Hao wanted to understand the details. Just what was it that caused such a terrifying great event?

He wanted to find people he was close to, his old friends, also wanted to understand their current situation, just what exactly was going on.

The first one he thought of was Cao Yusheng. This fella had a master that could derive the past, present, and future. How was he now? Was he still alive or already deceased?

When they separated before, Cao Yusheng didn’t hide anything, telling him where his master lived in seclusion. If there was anything that happened, he could come to look for him.

Shi Hao didn’t waste any time, turning into a streak of lightning, disappearing from his original location.

Unfortunately, there was nothing to show for all of this. This was an extremely ordinary valley, the inside completely vacant, no signs of life.

Fortunately, the darkness matter didn’t corrode this province yet.

“Did he not return from the Nine Heavens yet? However, why isn’t his master here?” Shi Hao was confused. There were thatched cottages and ancient caves, but they were empty.

With his powerful divine will, right now, there wasn’t anything that could escape him.

Soon afterwards, Shi Hao found a dao imprint left by Cao Yusheng. It was hidden well, but he still found it.

The imprints took form. Cao Yusheng was weeping, incredibly grieved and hurt.

“Before the dark ages began, my master went to face it, and then never returned… wuwu…”

Shi Hao was stunned. He released a light sigh.

“An age without cultivation has arrived. Perhaps it really is as my master predicted, sooner or later, I will be buried into the earth. I am going to look for a place to place my grave…”

He actually left behind these types of words.

Shi Hao was stupefied. Then, he carefully looked at these imprints. He was trying to decipher it, wishing to know where Cao Yusehng was. Was he really going to bury himself?

The imprints were deciphered, because there was a secret code Cao Yusheng had created with his friends, allowing them to see the secret information.

“I am going to head to the Land of Reincarnation. My master said that that place is suitable for raising a corpse, precisely the place where I should bury myself. I must bid my farewells to everyone!”

When he saw these words, he originally should have laughed, but Shi Hao just couldn’t. Instead, he felt a bitter feeling. This damn era, it came just like this, hateful!

Land of Reincarnation!

Shi Hao began to search based on the information he had.

According to what Cao Yusheng’s master said, that was Reincarnation Immortal King’s immortal dwelling. There were also others who said that Without End Immortal King had previously established a residence here to cultivate in seclusion as well.

There was even more so a type of saying that this was a true reincarnation land to begin with, unrelated to those immortal kings!

There was actually a secret place like this!

For Shi Hao, distance wasn’t an issue no matter how far it was. That ancient land was in the three thousand provinces, in this ancient continent, so it was even easier.

When he searched about, after a while, he finally arrived!

There was a dense primitive old forest in a grand mountain range. When he headed deeper inside, he actually saw some golden bricks and jade tiles hidden deep within the earth.

For Shi Hao, even the mountain range couldn’t escape his sight. He could now see through even more things.

“This is the place!”

In front of a mountain region, he stopped. There was mist here, comparatively speaking extremely thick heaven and earth essence energy. Then, his figure disappeared into the mist with a flash.

Soon afterwards, he passed through all types of formations, entering a half sealed pure land. This place could also be considered a small world.

Shi Hao thought of all types of possibilities, but he never expected the scene before his eyes. It was a bit out of his expectations, leaving him dumbstruck.

He saw Cao Yusheng, as well as a dog, they were jumping about!

That Cao Yusheng wasn’t the adult Cao Yusheng… actually only seven or eight years old. He was still chubby and tender, currently jumping.

What happened?! Shi Hao was stunned. Cao Yusheng returned to being a child? Why did he become younger?

Behind him was a palm-sized little puppy, currently chasing after him, barking.

Shi Hao became dizzy. This was just too humiliating. A palm-sized puppy was barking while chasing after Cao Yusheng, while he was running for his life!

“Return my dragon meat bun! This is something this great one was going to use for rebirth!” That palm-sized puppy barked.

Shi Hao felt a huge headache. Dragon meat bun?

Sure enough, he saw a snow-white bun in Cao Yusheng’s hands. He wasn’t willing to let go no matter what, running for his life. He really wanted to throw it into his mouth, but the dog behind him was madly chasing after him.

“Damn dog, who are you trying to fool? What Without End’s brother, what reincarnated immortal king? Do you think I’m stupid? If I really give it to you, won’t you just run without looking back?!” Cao Yusheng shouted.

What happened? Just what was going on? Shi Hao was a bit absent-minded.

“You were looting a grave, digging out this great one, already agreed to be my human servant, yet you still refuse to admit your wrongs, even stealing my dragon meat bun! Today, I am going to cook you alive!”

That palm-sized puppy was extremely fierce, crying out, but in reality, it was the length of Cao Yusheng’s sole, yet it was chasing after him viciously.

Shi Hao really was dumbstruck. What kind of situation was this? It seemed to be what Cao Yusheng’s master told him to do, choose a grave. But in the end, he dug it out, moreover digging out a puppy?

“Where is the long life medicine my master planted here? It was definitely eaten by you. Return it to me first, or else I definitely won’t return this dragon meat bun!”

“Human servant, you’ve angered me! Accept your punishment!”

Shi Hao watched from afar, feeling ashamed for Cao Yusheng. He was being chased by a little dog, yet he was crying out in panic like this.
