Gu Cheng was defeated.
Regardless of whether his intentions were truly good or he was showing off, if the gift he gave wasn’t as good as what others already had, where’s the face in that?
This Genius Gu had always been unstoppable from a young age and was only ever praised by others, so this ti he faced an unkind "setback," making him lose face and naturally leave sowhat awkwardly.
"You’re really bad!" Su Manman said to Woo Yueyi.
Woo Yueyi felt very innocent; she truly just didn’t want to take advantage of Gu Cheng and unexpectedly dealt a blow to this great genius.
"Is this Gu Cheng very famous?" Shi Hao asked.
"Of course." Woo Yueyi nodded, "As ntioned earlier, over a thousand years ago, many heirs of the Immortal Kings gathered for a grand event, where Gu Cheng beca one of the strongest ten. Unfortunately, he couldn’t advance further, so it’s unknown what his exact ranking would be."
"Even though so Immortal King heirs didn’t attend, he definitely has a place among the top twenty strongest." Su Manman added.
Shi Hao nodded, realizing Gu Cheng is at least an eleven-star, and within this Great Wilderness Realm, he is undoubtedly one of the strongest.
"Besides Immortal Fruits, what other opportunities are here?" Shi Hao asked curiously.
Woo Yueyi thought for a mont and replied, "There are many secret places here where one can gain astonishing inheritances. Last ti it opened, a senior brother of mine gained great harvest in the Silver Wolf Cave, learning secret techniques from the Silver Wolf Clan; his combat power was simply overwhelming!"
Su Manman also nodded: "It’s said there’s also the Immortal dicine Garden, where truly top-grade great dicines are cultivated. Unfortunately, those who entered it before were all bewildered, and to this day, no one knows where the Immortal dicine Garden is."
Shi Hao listened and couldn’t help but mouth water.
Great dicines are hard to find, and those with sufficient years are even rarer.
Looking across the Immortal Realm, Immortal Elixirs over ten thousand years old aren’t seen; even if there are, they’re in the gardens of major forces, and it’s impossible to take them out for sale.
If he could find this garden... Shi Hao imdiately perked up: "Just because others can’t find it doesn’t an we can’t. I believe in my luck being consistently good!"
Su Manman and Woo Yueyi exchanged smiles, not particularly interested in the Immortal dicine Garden, as they hail from the Summit of the Stars. With the profound foundation of the Immortal Kings, how could they lack an Immortal dicine Garden?
Elsewhere, ten-thousand-year-old great dicines are rare; however, at the Summit of the Stars, while they may not be abundant, taking ten plants out is certainly feasible.
The three continued on their journey, seeking out opportunities.
Half a month passed quickly, and their luck wasn’t as good as before, with not a single gain—either they found no valuable places or had been visited by others long ago, naturally making gains harder.
Nonetheless, by simply digesting their previous gains, Shi Hao advanced his skin refining process to more than half. In another half month or so, he could fully refine his skin to the Silver Spirit level.
This speed is astonishing, and despite the ample supply of Immortal items, Su Manman and Woo Yueyi progressed "slowly"—this word slow is relative to Shi Hao, as they were still quite quick.
Shi Hao, with both the Black Hole and Stone Mill, boasts unparalleled ability to refine Immortal items, at least among the Silver Spirit level.
Su Manman and Woo Yueyi were both amazed; no wonder Shi Hao’s cultivation progressed so terrifyingly fast—his efficiency in absorbing energy and Immortal Rules was so high, how could they compete?
Shi Hao ntioned the origin of the Stone Mill, even suggesting it might co from the Forbidden Land.
Su Manman and Woo Yueyi both nodded, understanding its origin from the Forbidden Land, which explained much.
"Do you know what kind of place that is?" Shi Hao asked.
Su Manman soon spoke solemnly: "Don’t ever take greed for that place, as I know, even Immortal Kings entering there easily face death."
Woo Yueyi nodded: "Father once ntioned that so old Immortal Kings who have already lived multiple lifetis, with excessive reincarnation marks, are severely targeted by Heaven and Earth, with no chance to live another life, so they venture into the Forbidden Land for luck, as it offers heaven-defying opportunities allowing one to live another life without reincarnation marks, and even eliminate existing marks!"
"Indeed so Immortal Kings succeeded, but more simply vanished, likely perishing in the Forbidden Land."
It’s said that unless one reaches the end of their life, seeking chance in the Forbidden Land is essentially chasing death.
—The likelihood of death far surpasses the potential gains.
On hearing this, Shi Hao admired Gu Shiyun; back then, old Gu was at the height of his powers yet dared enter the Forbidden Land—wait, was this under Master Qian Ji’s instigation?
After all, that old man is quite sinister.
Luckily, Yue Ying did not fall into Master Qian Ji’s hands, and obviously, Master Qian Ji likely had no chance to subdue Yue Ying.
Soon, another half month passed, and Shi Hao successfully refined his skin to the cusp of two stars.
Now, he only needed to keep up with Immortal Rule comprehension to break through to three stars.
Shi Hao was not in a rush to break through; from one star to two stars, the speed was already fast enough, and pursuing speed blindly would undoubtedly affect the foundation, so it’s best to take it slow for now.
After several more days, a valley appeared ahead.
Many people stood at the valley entrance, so familiar, so unfamiliar, all heirs of Immortal Kings on this expedition.
Was there so treasure here?
The trio approached and found a damaged stele, where an Almighty had imprinted a peerless technique with earth-shaking ans. However, the stele’s damage had created a long crack, compromising its completeness, making comprehension of the technique incredibly challenging.
Shi Hao was not particularly interested in others’ techniques, as he had already forged his own path, focusing on uncovering his own treasures.
Unless a cultivation technique was being practiced, which he would reference to forge his own path.
However, when he tried to walk directly into the valley, he found himself blocked by an invisible force.
"Hehe, if you want through this valley, you must comprehend this technique." Soone reminded, though their tone was filled with sarcasm.
Shi Hao glanced at the person—a young man in blue clothing—but his gaze didn’t fall on him but on Su Manman and Woo Yueyi.
Ah, he wants to attract the two won’s attention by saying this, incidentally stepping on Shi Hao.
Shi Hao shook his head; this kind of person’s vision is too small, and unlikely to achieve much.
He ignored him and simply focused on the stele.
Since one must comprehend this technique to pass, he would give it a try.
Seeing Shi Hao not responding to his provocation, the blue-clothed youth revealed a smug expression, increasingly disdainful of Shi Hao.
