Now, in Shi Hao’s perception, all Immortal Venerables seed to be extrely petty people.
They guarded their own territory fiercely, forbidding any challenges. They would not give anyone a chance; at the first sign of trouble, they would act decisively to keep themselves elevated above all.
In this regard, old Ding is really extraordinary.
Counting fully, old Ding has lived no more than 200,000 years, rely the lifespan of a Jade Immortal. Yet, he entered the Immortal Realm more than 50,000 years ago and has now achieved the position of an Immortal Venerable.
How remarkable is that?
Not only did he ascend to the position of Immortal Venerable so quickly, but he also endured the pursuit and obstruction of the old Immortal Venerables, successfully ousting them.
Look at this Selfless Immortal Venerable, and previously, Immortal King Ziyue, both cultivated to the level of half-step Immortal Venerable. Speaking of talent and potential, aren’t they impressive?
Of course, they are.
Unfortunately, they eventually vanished into the long river of history; one left behind the Great Wilderness Realm, the other the Unparalleled Secret Realm, yearning for successors.
There’s no fear in recognizing quality, only in comparing one to another, and in comparison, old Ding is simply extraordinary to the extre.
"
Though that Immortal Venerable didn’t kill , he damaged my essence. How is that any different from killing ?" continued the Selfless Immortal Venerable. "I was unwilling to accept this, so I began to plan. If I couldn’t beco an Immortal Venerable, then I would pin my hopes on my disciples."
"Therefore, only those who have cultivated to fifteen stars are qualified to inherit my ultimate skills!"
Shi Hao exceeded his expectations; his ability to fight across levels was so strong. What did this signify?
When he was the Copper Armored Immortal, he even broke through more than just fifteen stars, which was why he possessed such terrifying cross-level combat power.
"Young man, won’t you reconsider?" the Selfless Immortal Venerable said persuasively. "Obtaining my inheritance, combined with your talent, would greatly increase your chances of becoming an Immortal Venerable in the future."
Shi Hao smiled, "I can refer to the senior’s ultimate skills, but as for apprenticeship... let’s not."
He could enter a sect, which was a general relationship as a disciple, but if he took soone as a master, that would be a lifelong relationship.
Even for Ding Lingfeng, Shi Hao had never truly acknowledged him as a master, and still referred to him as old Ding in his heart.
I may not be a true Immortal Venerable, but I’m halfway there, and yet you despise that?
The Selfless Immortal Venerable was left speechless.
"However, I can avenge you," Shi Hao said with a smile, "Whichever Immortal Venerable hard your essence, I’ll begin by usurping him from his Immortal Venerable position."
What bold words!
Immortal Venerables, who command the sixth level of the Immortal Precept, hold the utmost authority in this world. Only the nine of them can rival each other.
Look at him; though he is a half-step Immortal Venerable, wasn’t he easily defeated?
Before achieving Immortal Venerable status, one must grow discreetly; once reaching the level of an Immortal Venerable, then challenge, as the current Immortal Venerable would temporarily lose control of the sixth level of the Immortal Precept, allowing a fair battle.
Otherwise, with their command over the sixth level of the Immortal Precept, they are invincible. How would you fight them?
However, Shi Hao’s talent... is indeed astonishing. Perhaps he could achieve it.
The Selfless Immortal Venerable pondered for a mont before saying, "An Immortal Venerable’s na cannot be spoken; sensing it mysteriously, by speaking it out, he might manifest and erase us directly!"
This is the strength of an Immortal Venerable, whose Divine Sense can cover several Immortal realms, and, if he is willing, he’s omniscient within these areas.
Moreover, ntioning his na is like a set Heaven and Earth Rule, which would trigger a response.
"However, there are only nine Immortal Venerables under heaven, corresponding to nine different Supre Immortal Precepts," the Selfless Immortal Venerable continued, "I can only tell you, back then, I intended to enter the path of fire!"
Which ans his enemy Immortal Venerable is one who plays with fire.
Shi Hao nodded, "I understand."
He possesses his own small world, cultivating any attribute of the Immortal Precept. Therefore, it does not matter which path he begins with to beco an Immortal Venerable.
Shi Hao agreed, yet the Selfless Immortal Venerable was a bit embarrassed and said, "Although this secret realm can elevate cultivation, it adheres to the principle of equivalent exchange. You must kill to gain benefits, even I cannot change this."
Because he is rely a fragnt of consciousness, he can answer questions but for other matters, apologies.
Hence, he felt awkward, as the person agreed to help dethrone an Immortal Venerable for him, but he had no benefits to offer.
"Primarily, after being injured back then, in pursuit of a slim chance for recovery, I entered the Forbidden Land, but never returned, obviously perishing there," the Selfless Immortal Venerable sighed.
It’s quite strange, him saying he died, so what is he, a ghost?
Clearly, when the Selfless Immortal Venerable entered the Forbidden Land years ago, he had already accepted death, so he left behind a consciousness fragnt. In case he didn’t succeed, he could still choose a successor for himself.
"What I can give you now, is this map," the Selfless Immortal Venerable said, projecting a light spot towards Shi Hao, "This points to a region within the Forbidden Land, where I believed there was amazing Great dicine that could heal ."
"Since I never reappeared, it signifies I died on the way, or in that area."
"If you follow the map, you should find my corpse. With the sign I marked on you, the body shouldn’t harm you, allowing you to easily collect the items from my body."
"My inheritance, along with a half-step Supre Device, they are all yours."
"In the future, if you find an outstanding person, pass on my legacy to him."
The light entered Shi Hao’s forehead and disappeared; it indeed was a map, with a point flickering.
Clearly, that’s where the Selfless Immortal Venerable intended to go.
Oh?
Shi Hao was puzzled as he retrieved a corner of a map from his Spatial Spirit Tool.
This was sothing he had acquired in the Mortal Realm, only a corner and incomplete; he hadn’t found a corresponding location and had kept it all along, only to discover, amazingly, the two maps had similarities.
Upon comparison, indeed, the corner map he obtained in the Mortal Realm was part of the map the Selfless Immortal Venerable had given!
Zounds, what he acquired back then, was actually a corner map of the Forbidden Land.
Seeing this map, the Selfless Immortal Venerable was also stunned, wasn’t this a corner of the map he had given?
"Senior, how did you know about this area?" Shi Hao asked.
"An ancient legend," the Selfless Immortal Venerable replied.
Clearly, the Selfless Immortal Venerable wasn’t the only one who knew this ancient legend, so soone else created the map to guide others to that region.
Could it have been Immortal King Ziyue?
The Forbidden Land, what kind of place is it?
