In the end, Shi Hao decided to lure away the Immortal King Beast.
There was no choice, given his teleportation ability.
The Purple Gold Rat, despite its thick skin and resilience, lacked the ability to disengage from battle; perhaps it might even beco the beast’s pet.
Shi Hao took action, launching the Myriad Thunder True Gold at the beast.
At first, the beast ignored him.
Having reached such heights, it naturally possessed intelligence and was wary of being led away by Shi Hao, thus it only defended, neutralizing Shi Hao’s attacks.
Shi Hao was undeterred and continued his assault.
Ten tis, a hundred tis, a thousand tis, the Immortal King Beast finally couldn’t hold back.
No matter how intelligent it was, it couldn’t change the fact that it was a Ferocious Beast. Its blood was filled with agitation, so at last, it was provoked by Shi Hao and lunged at him.
After all, dealing with a re Jade Immortal wasn’t difficult, right?
Shi Hao retreated while continuing his attack, every ti the beast had thoughts of returning, it was enraged anew, and continued its pursuit of Shi Hao.
The chase went on until the beast was led far enough away.
The Purple Gold Rat took the opportunity to harvest three Spirit Fruits.
Mission accomplished.
After shaking off the Immortal King Beast completely, Shi Hao went to the predetermined eting location to reunite with the Purple Gold Rat.
"Hey, thought you wouldn’t show up and would gobble up the Immortal Fruit yourself," Shi Hao joked.
"Pssh, am I that kind of person?" the Purple Gold Rat scoffed.
They teased each other briefly before splitting the Immortal Fruit.
The Purple Gold Rat was generous and gave Shi Hao the lion’s share, explaining that it was an investnt. When Shi Hao reached the level of Immortal King or even Immortal Venerable one day, its investnt would surely pay off.
Shi Hao smiled and accepted without hesitation, as there was no need for formalities between him and this rat.
He entered the Immortal Abode to start refining the Immortal Fruit.
While it was indeed a supre treasure dicine, it was more for Immortal Kings to comprehend the dao and advance further; it didn’t significantly enhance power, and it wasn’t fully mature either.
Thus, even after refining the Immortal Fruit, Shi Hao was unable to cultivate to the peak of Seven Stars.
But he continued, as the place was abundant in resources.
Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat continued their exploration; the Forbidden Land held myriad opportunities and secrets.
One month, two months, three months, ti passed quietly.
Although Shi Hao’s strength was formidable, he still encountered many dangers here, even sustaining severe injuries a few tis; fortunately, with the Rejuvenation Technique and his robust physique, he tenaciously survived.
Such risky endeavors brought ample rewards. After six months, Shi Hao finally reached the peak of the Seven Star Jade Immortal.
Breakthrough.
This was without suspense; his half-year of fierce battles had honed his foundation to such finesse that he broke through directly to Eight Stars without needing more accumulation.
Shi Hao grinned; his combat power now reached Second-Step Pseudo Immortal King, and using the explosive Universe Punch, he could even reach Third-Step combat power.
Such progression was indeed slow.
Shi Hao thought for a mont and imdiately threw himself into the next adventure to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Soon, another half-year passed.
His cultivation had stealthily advanced to the mid-stage of Eight Star Jade Immortal, yet breaking through to Nine Stars remained a distant goal. At least another half-year was needed, assuming substantial harvests.
This day, he and the Purple Gold Rat discovered yet another perilous place, where an Ice Lotus was growing.
It was extrely difficult to enter.
The temperature here was frighteningly low, and the air contained ice-ford sword arrows that moved about, enveloped in Immortal King-level rules, and possessing terrifying destructiveness.
Even Shi Hao, whose soul strength reached Immortal King level, found it challenging to nullify these Ice Swords, and after two attempts, he was forced to retreat by the swords.
As he tried a third ti and failed, retreating again, he saw soone.
"Brother Shi!" The person was surprised and exclaid.
Shi Hao nodded, "Ah, it’s Brother Han."
Han Jin, a forr classmate of Shi Hao’s for a year at the training camp; they were tead together in the second year, but a year later, Han Jin was eliminated.
However, staying at the training camp for two years was already a trendous acknowledgnt.
Han Jin’s strength and talent were surely exceptional, or he couldn’t have lasted as long.
Of course, Han Jin was a Golden Immortal then, but had now advanced to Jade Immortal.
In truth, the Golden Immortal group’s students could all break through to Jade Immortal, but due to Immortal Venerable’s orders, they had to suppress their cultivation; once out of the training camp, it was different, and they could break through as desired.
Currently, Han Jin was a Two Star Jade Immortal.
Why had he co here?
Shi Hao pondered and chuckled to himself.
Indeed, after spending ti at the training camp, how could one still tolerate the slow upgrade speed outside?
Therefore, even knowing the dangers of the Forbidden Land, Han Jin had returned.
It was unclear if he had just entered or had been here for a while, but eting in such a vast Forbidden Land was quite fortuitous.
"Brother Shi, only Immortal Kings can enter here," Han Jin said.
Shi Hao had to admit, though he had the Heaven and Earth Wheel, capable of both offense and defense, with top power reaching Nine Star Immortal King level, it required charging before use; under the dense attack of Ice Swords, the Heaven and Earth Wheel would quickly run out of energy.
Thus, he could only sigh forlornly.
Shi Hao initially considered letting the Purple Gold Rat attempt, but with Han Jin here, he decided to hold off.
"Yes, it’s a sha," Shi Hao shook his head. Although the Ice Lotus wasn’t far, he could see it and even sll a faint fragrance, the Immortal King-level rules were so dense that even teleportation was useless, and he would be imdiately repelled, unable to cover much distance.
This made Shi Hao aware that had an Immortal King laid out rules densely around him, he wouldn’t even have a chance to escape via teleportation.
After all, his teleportation wasn’t tearing space for jumps, but was achieved through the Little Star Universe, causing no damage to real space, so if the surrounding space was filled with high-level Immortal Rules, they would significantly affect him.
—Unless, his strength reached Immortal King level, then Immortal King rules couldn’t hinder him.
"Brother Shi, my other friends and I discovered another treasure place," Han Jin hesitated slightly, "but there are ferocious beasts there, endless in number; just after killing two yesterday, three might erge today. Even by combining our strength, we can’t push into the depths.
"Brother Shi, your strength is exceptional; if you join forces with us, we believe we would make progress."
"Brother Shi, what do you think?"
Oh, more people had ventured into the Forbidden Land?
