"You know quite a lot." The Nine-Five Immortal King said faintly.
Shi Hao smiled, "Just a bit, just a bit."
If the Nine-Five Immortal King is hiding from an Immortal Venerable, then she most likely is already a quasi-Immortal Venerable, or perhaps, has already taken this step. Hence, she must avoid the Immortal Venerable, otherwise, she would undoubtedly be killed.
— Between heaven and earth, there can only be nine Immortal Venerables, each representing an origin Immortal Rule. If newcors want to beco an Immortal Venerable, they must overthrow the previous one.
Hence, Immortal Venerable is more of a position than a realm, limited in number, not sothing you achieve just by diligently cultivating.
"This is the Forbidden Land; even an Immortal Venerable cannot deduce anything here." The Nine-Five Immortal King explained pointedly, "So, if you want to avoid pursuit, this is a good place."
Then, was lying under the pond avoiding pursuit or healing?
Shi Hao pondered but did not ask out loud.
Firstly, it was too private; secondly, it was aningless.
Does it matter?
Shi Hao nodded, "Will Senior stay here for long?"
"Not necessarily." The Nine-Five Immortal King said casually, "Perhaps... I will explore deeper, see if I can advance further."
Shi Hao’s eyes lit up, "May I accompany Senior to broaden my experience?"
The Nine-Five Immortal King laughed, "When we’re deep in the Forbidden Land, I’ll barely be able to care for myself, let alone you. Would you be a shield for this King or a shield?"
Shi Hao replied sheepishly, this Immortal King speaks so directly.
"Then I’ll take my leave." He said, sighing, initially intending to rely on the Nine-Five Immortal King’s power to cross that sea of Immortal King corpses.
The Nine-Five Immortal King waved, "Go! Rember, don’t die; your future... this King is quite looking forward to it!"
Shi Hao nodded, paid his respects, and then departed.
He had considerable respect for this Immortal King.
Despite her cold deanor, when she discovered excellent talent in Shi Hao and others, she generously bestowed Immortal Seeds; previously, when Shi Hao was pursued, she intervened imdiately. Therefore, she was a cold outside but warm inside type.
And other Immortal Kings?
Even Phantom Sea and Hongwu, they were extrely indifferent, caring only about their imdiate circle, others?
Ha, do Immortal Kings have ti for that?
Even Shi Hao himself wouldn’t specially guide any outstanding Golden Immortal or Silver Spirit Immortal he might encounter.
Thus, the behavior and qualities of the Nine-Five Immortal King are worthy of respect.
Shi Hao kept this favor in mind, intending to repay it in the future.
— Isn’t she avoiding pursuit by an Immortal Venerable, could this be resolved?
Look, during his pursuit, the Nine-Five Immortal King intervened, so if he helps resolve her pursuit, wouldn’t that be a perfect way to return the favor?
However, why would an Immortal Venerable stop warring because of him?
After all, the Nine-Five Immortal King, once advancing further, would inevitably battle with an Immortal Venerable, resulting in the loser receding from the Immortal Venerable position. Thus, this is an irreconcilable conflict.
The only possible resolution for Shi Hao?
He achieves the status of Immortal Venerable and intervenes forcefully.
"Alas, it’ll take a very long ti to repay this favor." Shi Hao sighed.
Even though he’s imnsely gifted, becoming an Immortal Venerable might take at least centuries, if not millennia or longer.
Wonder how long it took Old Ding?
Shi Hao suddenly beca curious; he shouldn’t be inferior to Old Ding, so... his ti to beco an Immortal Venerable should be shorter.
However, Old Ding has lived through nine lifetis; who can say how long it really took him?
Speaking of, Old Ding exhausted the limit of nine lifetis early, does he intend to be Immortal Venerable for only one lifeti?
Or, does he have certainty about obtaining Great dicine in the Forbidden Land to erase a reincarnation imprint and continue to live another lifeti?
Only Old Ding knows.
Shi Hao touched his chin; he had heard many magical tales of Old Ding and was forcefully made his disciple, yet he still hadn’t seen this Immortal Venerable, making him very curious about what this master looks like.
Oh well, first focus on improving cultivation.
Shi Hao continued wandering within the Forbidden Land; however, this was the outer region. Most Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were already claid by Immortal Venerables, although there were so remnants; their amount was too little, and the ti spent outweighs the gain.
Ti to venture deeper.
Shi Hao headed deeper into the Forbidden Land. In a few days, he once again saw the sea ford by an Immortal King.
Of course, he wouldn’t directly traverse it. Even though he’s now very strong, entering this sea filled with rules of an Immortal King would instantly obliterate any life.
Still, he had seen clearly from above, the sea of Immortal King corpses connected with a Fla Mountain. Although crossing that mountain was also difficult, there should be a gap between these two perilous terrains, and he wished to pass through that gap.
Traveling around the sea, monotonous and tedious.
Previously, he had tried to go around, but the sea was too vast, making him feel it encompassed the entire Forbidden Land. Only when passing overhead did he realize this sea occupied but a small part of the Forbidden Land.
Two months later, Shi Hao finally reached where the sea and Fla Mountain converged.
Here, it was a magnificent sight.
Water on one side, fire on the other, naturally incompatible. The water is vaporized by the flas, forming an indissoluble steam reaching the heavens, as high as mountains, impossible to see the top.
This convergence of water and fire is not small, akin to a plain. Yet, due to the dense steam, it turns into thick fog, visibility pitifully low.
Shi Hao approached slowly, avoiding recklessness; this is the Forbidden Land, where each step might hide great danger.
Closing in.
He raised his hand, reaching into the steam.
Imdiately, rules sliced forth.
Shi Hao smiled, deploying Soul Force to form a defense, blocking all slicing rules.
It turns out this can’t be resolved so easily. Whether the sea of Immortal King corpses or the Fla Mountain, they both harbor terrifying threats capable of killing him.
However, now with ice and fire conflicting, both forces are considerably weakened.
There’s still great terror, but Shi Hao’s Soul Force has reached Immortal King level, thus he can completely resolve it.
The unknown is the size of this area, for should traversal ti be too lengthy and his Soul Force depletes, it would be extrely dangerous.
He took a deep breath, his determination stronger than ever.
Go!
He stepped into the mist-shrouded land.
Rules sliced, pervasive and relentless.
Shi Hao enveloped himself in Soul Force, forming a shield like an egg, effortlessly nullifying incoming attacks.
Conversely, his Soul Force consud at an astonishing pace.
