Chapter 1784 - Obtaining the Mountain Treasure

Void God Realm, low roars and blood splashing sounds could be heard from time to time. It was extremely terrifying.

Kacha!

This was the sound of the frontal bone splitting, sky piercing sword energy rippling outwards.

Everything here was not much different from the real world, as if one was in a dream. The crimson dragon was stupefied, that cheap master of his was going all out, slaughtering left and right, not stopping.

Even though those supreme beings were damaged, not complete, just spiritual remains, they were still terrifying. They struck down Shi Hao into the bloody earth many times.

However, he didn’t give up, instead fighting here fiercely without end.

This was a special land, a special region in the blood marsh that actually no longer suppressed cultivation. Whatever one’s level really was, then that was what it was here. Frightening brilliance erupted there.

One could imagine just what Shi Hao was experiencing. Being able to continue like this really wasn’t easy at all.

Fortunately, it was precisely because it was extremely dangerous that there were formation cores here that ensured the challengers’ lives. Even if their bodies broke apart, they could be reassembled.

If it was a normal marsh outside, no matter how strong Shi Hao was, there was no way he would last. He would definitely follow in the steps of those higher realm individuals.

That day, there was a disturbance in the higher realm, someone came from Immortal Domain again.

Apart from the emissary, there were a few knights, all of them dressed in heavy armor, immortal energy surrounding their bodies. They were true powerful experts, arriving with important orders.

Honglong!

That day, several knights went up into the Nine Heavens, down into the Ten Earths, taking action separately, raising great banners one after another!

There were nineteen great banners in total, fluttering about, inserted in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, every single ancient land bearing a great banner. All of the great earths were greatly shaken.

Everyone was shocked. What were they trying to do?

“Immortal Domain’s kings are worried for this world’s safety, so they specially sent down some war generals, using nineteen great banners to guard the various lands!”

This was the information the emissary released. These knights came for the sake of guarding the various ancient lands, to stabilize those regions.

Only, everyone still felt worry. They were merely nineteen banners, could they really guard against everything?

It was impossible!

Many people knew that what came would go, just that they now bought some time. It really was unknown just what kind of terrifying scene would appear in the future.

“It is still not enough. Altars needs to be established around these nineteen banners, moreover soaked in the blood of the various clans’ creatures!”

This was the decree passed down by Immortal Domain’s emissary, representing the words of an Immortal King, requiring them to do this.

No one dared go against this decree, all sides starting to move, separately building altars for the great banners.

The only fortunate thing was that even if they needed the blood of different creatures, no lives needed to be taken. Just some suitable sacrifices were enough.

However, despite this being the case, everyone still frowned, feeling great worry. 

Regardless of whether it was when the ruined immortal being rushed to try to enter Immortal Domain or when these people arranged formations, they were all carrying out sacrifices. What were all of these offerings for?

Was there a hidden unmatched powerful existence?

Then, one of the knights who came with the emissary entered Spirit Realm alone, eventually silently proceeding to Void God Realm, coming with a purpose!

In the lower realm, Shi Hao left the marsh. During these past few days, his life and death tempering temporarily came to an end. His cultivation made some progress, his dao skills advancing!

However, he left, wishing to return after a period of time.

It was because when one was constantly in a state of life and death, constantly fighting great battles, it would easily make one go mad, go insane.

He had to know restraint, there was no way he could become a supreme being after just a few days.

When he returned to Stone Village, the Zhuyan was currently scratching its ears and cheeks in frustration, extremely impatient. It was because it already roughly found where Swan Saint was., all of the clues pointing towards an area in Flood Region.

There were lakes everywhere, full of jade-colored ripples.

This was a lake region, all types of waterfowl spreading their wings.

There was a mountain that towered within a great lake, spiritual essence swirling about. It was located at the center of the lake.

An old and gray-haired daoist, shriveled and skinny, sat on a praying mat, currently chanting scriptures. His blood energy was no longer as vigorous, already in his later years.

However, when his eyes opened and fell, symbols flickered, a sign of a powerful being.

No one would expect that this was an expert who was touching the borders of the true deity domain. His divine flame surged, if not for his lifespan close to reaching his end, he would have long entered the True Deity Realm.

He was precisely Swan Saint, a bird clan expert who had lived for an endless amount of time, the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s master.

There were rumors all around the outside world that he had long died, moreover died under his own disciple’s hands. In his later years, he was devoured by the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, his end miserable.

Who would have expected that he was still alive, moreover comprehending some type of unmatched sutra. Unfortunately, progress was slow, he didn’t obtain the achievements he needed.

“Time does not wait for me, my time is limited. I guess it is my fate to just leave with the wind like this.” Swan Saint released a sigh.

“Interesting, a bird clan expert who has been dead for many years is still in this world. You’ve kept quite the low-profile, but you were still exposed.” Shi Hao appeared.

He stood on that mountain, examining the ancient cave before him, eyes brilliant, able to pry through everything, understanding the mysteries of Swan Saint’s body.

Swan Saint was at the peak of Divine Flame Realm, one foot in the True Deity Realm. Unfortunately, his blood energy was insufficient, unable to break through further.

In the lower realms, having this type of creature was still quite the rare thing. After all, the eight regions had experienced a great calamity, not many strong individuals left now.

“The Little Stone?” Swan Saint didn’t seem all that shocked, moreover immediately recognizing him.

“Oh? You recognize me, knowing that I will return?” Shi Hao asked.

The Zhuyan already jumped onto the stone cliff, staring at the elder in the ancient cave, baring his fangs. Back then, it obtained the mountain treasure already, but ultimately lost it.

Now, it could clearly see that there was a square bone piece inside that ancient cave, on a stone table. It was snow-white like jade, releasing a sparkling brilliance.

It was precisely the mountain treasure from the past!

“Old thing, you really are crafty, the rest of the world already believing that you were eaten by your disciple, yet in the end, your disciple is completely dead, while you are still jumping around, even obtaining its mountain treasure.” The Zhuyan shouted.

Swan Saint revealed a bitter smile. This Zhuyan really wasn’t all that polite, what jumping around? His blood was clearly dried up, already close to withering away.

“Zhuyan, you jester. I am already in my dying years, about to pass away at any moment. What vitality is there left to speak of?”

The Zhuyan didn’t say anything, only using its eyes to stare at the mountain treasure on the stone table, its eyes fiery.

The Swan Saint released a sigh and said, “Back then, I indeed almost died. When the fuel in the lamp almost completely burned out, a spiritual body seated in meditation, my disciple mistook it for me, swallowing me with a single bite.”

In the past, Swan Saint’s heart turned cold. That was his disciple, yet it actually took advantage of his age to harm him. Fortunately, he was already alert ahead of time, his spiritual body dying in his place.

When the events of the past were mentioned, he released a sigh, feeling great grief.

“This is precisely why it stimulated it. Originally, I should have died, but in the end, I still had a type of conviction, stifling a wave of anger, and thus made it through.”

He not only stuck it through, his cultivation even made some breakthroughs over time, breaking free from the dying state.

“In reality, when the eight regions faced the great calamity, my disciple didn’t die in the chaos. In the end, I was the one who ended its life.” The Swan Saint said honestly.

It was because he learned that the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had devoured countless creatures in those years, establishing endless slaughter, full of bloodiness, incredibly vicious.

Previously, Swan Saint’s life flame was about to go out, powerless to purge the sins of his own disciple. However, after he recovered, reaching the peak of Divine Flame Realm cultivation, killing the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow was naturally an easy task.

“That disciple of mine was extremely cunning. During the great chaos of the eight regions, it was completely unharmed, avoiding all types of dangers. It was my sudden appearance that resulted in his death.”

Otherwise, the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow might have lived to this day.

“What a pity, I would have liked to have the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow for a great meal.” Shi Hao sighed. Not being able to throw this bird into the pot made him feel a bit regretful.

What kind of person was this? Swan Saint released a hollow laugh.

“Do you know why I came?” Shi Hao asked.

“I do, I already sensed it a while ago. In the past few days, there were some people who continuously roamed about this lake region, investigating, so I knew that you were going to come.” Swan Saint said.

Then, he pointed at the stone table, saying, “That is the mountain treasure. It originally belonged to the Zhuyan, now, it will be returned to the rightful owner.”

The Zhuyan couldn’t hold itself back anymore, at this point, there was nothing to be scared of. It directly made its way over, jumping onto a stone table, seizing it, turning it about in his hands.

“I do not have much life left in me. This thing is wide-ranging and profound, I was only able to comprehend some superficial bits, it truly is embarrassing… yet just this bit almost made me refine myself to death.” Swan Saint sighed.

He was unwilling, feeling dejection, as well as much regret and helplessness.

Shi Hao didn’t expect things to be this smooth, just directly obtaining it. It made him feel a bit moved.

He thought of the past, when he was young, the mountain treasure already appeared, now, twenty something years passed just like that without any news of it. Yet today, he truly obtained it.

“There is something strange, definitely something odd!” The Zhuyan examined it, carefully sensing it, becoming moved and fearful!

Shi Hao received it, stroking this pure white bone piece. Before he even truly studied it, he already knew that this was a formidable supreme treasure!
