Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Primordial Scripture
The breakthrough to the Ninth King realm seed almost impossible.
Though Shi Hao’s foundations were solid, he had already stacked eight Royal Courts. As the saying goes, “it’s hard to make progress at the top of a high pole,” and indeed, it was the most difficult step.
How were Royal Courts founded?
Through the understanding of martial arts.
And this so-called understanding of martial arts was, in fact, mastery over the rules.
In theory, even if Shi Hao’s Royal Courts were exceptionally solidly built, after stacking seven or eight layers, he should have reached the limit—and indeed, that was the case. After reaching the peak of the Eighth King, the Ninth King seed like an unachievable feat.
However, Shi Hao was not only freakishly talented, he also had a trendous advantage.
That was that he possessed the mory inheritance of Yuan Chengmie, which gave him an understanding of martial arts that far surpassed his realm.
Therefore, he could completely use his advanced understanding of martial arts to construct the ninth layer of the Royal Court.
Because this understanding of martial arts wasn’t truly his own, Shi Hao needed to properly organize and assimilate it into sothing of his own.
Day by day, ti flew by.
Only after a whole half year did Shi Hao fully digest these martial arts insights and begin stacking the ninth layer of the Royal Court.
This was another exceedingly long progression. It took another year before he was finally successful.
He had reached the Ninth King!
Shi Hao revealed a smile, but by then, the River of Ti had less than one-sixth remaining.
He continued.
Drawing energy from the Star Core, another half year passed, and the River of Ti had dried up.
The peak of the Ninth King.
Shi Hao sighed. To take another step forward and achieve the Tenth Kings would require even more ti.
He must find another River of Ti; otherwise, even soone as monstrously talented as him wouldn’t be able to complete it without two or three years.
But what if he had access to a River of Ti?
One day!
How big was that gap?
Therefore, Shi Hao had to find another River of Ti, to step into the realm of the Tenth Kings sooner.
Unlike Self-Observation, as soon as he stepped into this realm, he was destined to reach the Ten Phases. In the Founding King Court, he even had the qualifications to break through right from the First King. Hence, stacking each layer of the Royal Court was a breaking of limits.
In his view, reaching nine layers was just a minor breakthrough. Only by stepping into the Tenth King would he truly reach the major limits.
He wanted to be an unparalleled being, which ant he had to refine every realm to its utmost limit.
As the River of Ti disappeared, the force of the Heavenly Falls also slowed down, and it was believed that it would soon dry up and even cease to exist.
Looking down, Shi Hao saw that Nangong Zheng had already disappeared.
A genius like him would naturally not want to waste ti here when he had more important things to do.
Besides, with Shi Hao even capable of flying here, Nangong Zheng couldn’t possibly bother him, so it would be better to take care of his own matters first. Once they were out, there would still be ti to take Shi Hao’s life.
“Don’t rush, Little Stone. Let’s continue refining the Mother of Gold!” the Purple Gold Rat called out, “After refining the Mother of Gold, we’ll have the potential to evolve our physique into Immortal Gold. Just think, how astonishing is that?”
The most valuable aspect of the Mother of Gold was its vitality, possessing infinite potential for growth, which is why even Immortals would covet it.
“The River of Ti has disappeared, we can’t waste ti. We’ll refine the Mother of Gold after we find the next one,” Shi Hao said.
“Alright,” the Purple Gold Rat nodded.
Ti was too precious here, and using it just to refine the Mother of Gold did seem quite wasteful. Besides, Shi Hao had the Immortal Abode, and he could completely refine the Mother of Gold outside.
After all this ti, it trusted Shi Hao’s character quite a bit, but if their positions were reversed, the Purple Gold Rat wouldn’t dare to have such confidence in itself.
—Driven by greed at the sight of treasure, it was an impulse that had been etched into its blood, utterly irresistible as a natural instinct.
Shi Hao fell down and continued his search.
However, after the fourth ring, there was no fifth ring.
At the end stood a column that seed to reach the sky, its top invisible from afar.
The column was not thick, two arms could embrace it, but it was incredibly tall and its surface was exceptionally smooth, not allowing any grip, as if trying to climb it was a daydream.
“Little Stone, let’s go up and see if there’s anything good hidden at the top of this column!” the Purple Gold Rat encouraged.
Shi Hao nodded, picked up the Purple Gold Rat, and imdiately ascended.
The column was extraordinarily tall, yet still didn’t pierce through the ceiling of the palace, indicating the imnse height of the palace.
After ascending several thousand feet, Shi Hao finally reached the summit of the stone column.
What surprised him was that there was a book on top of the column.
The book was also a Stone Book, with no words on the cover. Shi Hao reached out to turn the pages, only to find them impossibly heavy, unable to turn a single page.
Considering his current strength, which was sufficient to move several mountain ranges, how could he not turn a page of a Stone Book?
“Little Stone, this stone book is actually a Dwarf Star!” the Purple Gold Rat said at his side, its voice trembling.
It was astounding.
What is a Dwarf Star? A celestial body ford after a sufficiently large Sun collapses.
Like the one under their feet.
At this point, the density of the celestial body was so high it was indescribable, and just speaking of hardness, it was not inferior to the Precious tal of the Tenth Kings.
But the Purple Gold Rat actually said that this Stone Book was a Dwarf Star?
Having reached the strength of the Tenth Kings’ Precious tal, how could it be further compressed?
If this were true, how powerful must the creator of this Stone Book be?
Shi Hao took in a cold breath. He observed carefully and soon confird that the Purple Gold Rat was not wrong.
This was indeed a Dwarf Star, one that had been compressed countless tis, and then based on it, a Stone Book was carved.
Such a feat was staggering.
Shi Hao couldn’t help but wonder if he could achieve this after stepping onto the Heaven Building Ladder himself?
Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine. How many miles in diater must a Dwarf Star be? Compressing it to just about a foot in size, what kind of trendous strength was needed?
Could the Heaven Building Ladder, with all its might, be killed by sheer numbers?
Tens of thousands, even billions of Heaven Building Ladders working together would probably just be instantaneously annihilated.
Shi Hao was confident in his invincibility among his peers, but if this Almighty was indeed from the Heaven Building Ladder, he truly lacked confidence.
Thinking about this made him even more curious, wanting to see what exactly was recorded in this Stone Book.
Can’t turn the pages?
He opened his Little Star Universe and wrapped the Stone Book inside.
My world, I am the master!
Shi Hao tried to turn the page again, and this ti, the Stone Book finally moved.
But still, it was incredibly difficult. Shi Hao was covered in sweat, and after exerting all his strength, he finally managed to turn a page of the Stone Book.
Suddenly, a line of ancient and extrely old text rushed into his field of vision.
Shi Hao should have recognized none of them, but strangely, he was able to comprehend the aning, although it was extrely arduous and in an instant, it exhausted all his Soul Force.
He quickly stopped on the stone column and sat down with a heavy breath.
“Primordial Scripture!” the Purple Gold Rat was just like him, slumped on the ground, but its face was all joy, its small eyes bulging as large as a cow’s.
