Chapter 734: Shi Hao’s Advancent to Supre Is Mainly Due to His Talent and Effort
Shen Mo smiled at the words. "Oh? Elder Shi— which Elder Shi?"
The cultivator replied excitedly, "Shi Hao! Elder Shi! Now he should be addressed as Supre Shi."
"You should know him, right? He is a close friend of Young Master Zizhen, and you even gave him many treasures."
"After becoming a Supre, he said it was thanks to the Dragon-Top Divine Stone you gifted him, which greatly shortened the ti needed for his breakthrough."
"He is endlessly grateful to you."
The cultivator added, "When other Supres ca to attend the celebration, they also praised your generosity. Supre Xiang Gu, Supre Hu Qing of the demon race, and Ao Tian, lord of the Four Sacred Dragon Palace of the Western Sinking Sea, all said you are a peerless benefactor of the world— a child of destiny unseen in the human race for hundreds of thousands of years."
Hearing such lavish praise, Shen Mo only smiled faintly. "It was nothing more than a small effort. Shi Hao’s ascension to Supre is mainly due to his talent and perseverance. The Dragon-Top Divine Stone I gifted only played a supporting role."
The cultivator could not help but revere Shen Mo even more.
This was the rit of helping soone achieve Supremacy.
If it had been him, he would boast of it for decades, even passing it down to his children to brag as well.
Yet Supre Shen brushed it off in a few words, unconcerned with such an achievent.
"Supre Shen, ahead lies the main hall of my Lei Prison Clan. The elder supre awaits you inside."
The cultivator bowed respectfully. "I still have duties, so I shall not accompany you further."
"Very well." Shen Mo nodded slightly.
He strode into the grand hall.
There, he found Lei Daoheng, Shi Tianhao, and Lei Zizhen waiting.
The three imdiately rose when Shen Mo appeared.
Lei Zizhen was especially excited, rushing forward in a single bound.
"Brother Shen! It has been fifty years—you’ve finally returned!"
"Hehe, I was worried that after fighting across the realms, you had forgotten you still had friends here in Shengxuan Heaven and Earth."
After so long without seeing Shen Mo, Lei Zizhen’s tone carried a trace of reproach.
Lei Daoheng frowned. "Zizhen, what are you saying! How can you address Supre Shen in such a manner!"
Shen Mo laughed heartily. "It’s fine. Zizhen and I are friends."
Shi Tianhao stepped forward and bowed deeply. "Many thanks to Supre Shen for gifting the Dragon-Top Divine Stone. Without that treasure, I might have needed another hundred years to reach the Supre Realm."
When he raised his head, his eyes were faintly red.
Lei Daoheng laughed. "Shi Hao, with dragon blood in your veins, Supre Shen’s gift of the Dragon-Top Divine Stone was indeed a great boon to you."
He glanced at Lei Zizhen with a cold snort. "But my Zizhen also received gifts from Brother Shen. Why then has he not advanced to Supre, and remains stuck at Hundred-Pattern Nirvana?"
Lei Zizhen shuddered, his face crumpling. "How can I compare to Brother Shi Hao? His luck is too good, with fortune after fortune."
Shi Hao smiled humbly. "Zizhen speaks the truth. I did indeed have many coincidental encounters, which allowed to ascend smoothly to Supre."
Shen Mo carefully examined Shi Tianhao, focusing especially on his life panel. At last, he nodded knowingly.
After fifty years of perfect developnt, aided by the Dragon-Top Divine Stone, Shi Tianhao’s breakthrough was natural.
If he had failed to beco a Supre, it would have been unworthy of his radiant golden fate.
Now, seeing Shi Tianhao’s life panel, Shen Mo could almost discern the great changes that would unfold within the next hundred years.
He steadied his heart.
[Na: Shi Tianhao]
[Realm: Newly Advanced Supre]
[Fate Pattern: Half-human half-dragon, Ancestral Dragon Treasure Bone, Defying Heaven’s Fortune, Friends Everywhere, Survives Great Calamities, Blessed by the Stars, Lone Star of Calamity, Five Dragon Doomsday Body, Supre of the Lei Prison Clan]
[Fate: When ascending to Nine-Tribulation Supre, his greed proved too great, summoning terrifying heavenly lightning that he could scarcely endure. He barely clung to life, and though he managed to step into the rank of Earth-Penetrating Saint, he had no hope of ever reaching the Heaven-Piercing Saint realm. In the end, he perished, besieged by three demon saints.]
[Recent Opportunity One: Upon ascending to Supre, he received congratulatory gifts from the Supres of Shengxuan Heaven and Earth.]
[Recent Opportunity Two: While comprehending the Void Dao in chaotic currents, he accidentally discovered the Dark Division Holy Son’s cultivation site. Evading the Demon Supres guarding him, he found the Holy Son gravely wounded and imdiately refined him into one of his own incarnations.]
[Recent Opportunity Three: At this site, he obtained a Void Leaf, greatly deepening his understanding of the Void Dao.]
[Recent Opportunity Four: Continuing to seek treasures containing the aura of the Void, he discovered a teorite ford entirely from the essence of stars. Though he pursued it fiercely, he acquired only half, while the rest fell into Dongzhou of Shengxuan Heaven and Earth and was obtained by Ye Yan. Shi Tianhao refined the star essence into his Mustard Seed Dragon-Scale Armor, raising it to the rank of top-grade sacred artifact.]
[Recent Opportunity Five: Venturing deeper into the chaotic void currents, he discovered a small world ravaged by the Corpse Division of the demons. After annihilating them, he found they had been nurturing a Chaos Demon Corpse. He used a secret thod to rge it with his Blood Demon Berserk Corpse, raising its rank once more, advancing it into the Supre realm.]
[Recent Opportunity Six: ...]
Shen Mo finished reading all the opportunities and morized them.
Glancing over Shi Tianhao’s fate, he sighed.
Last ti, Shi Tianhao’s destiny had shown he would be struck by outer-realm heavenly demons when ascending to the Saint Realm, forever unable to touch the Dao Saint realm.
Now it said he would never reach Heaven-Piercing Saint.
Clearly, he had reaped too many benefits.
This once again lowered his ceiling.
"Shi Tianhao’s fate also ntioned Ye Yan. He is in Dongzhou now."
"I wonder what strength he has reached."
"Ye Yan, with his three souls rged, should have fortunes not far below Shi Tianhao’s."
Shen Mo smiled faintly.
He truly hoped Ye Yan would soon ascend to the Supre Realm.
That way, he would have two fat sheep to fleece at will.
"Friend Shi, there’s no need for such a great ceremony."
"Your ascension to Supre is a blessing for the human race."
Shen Mo smiled.
Shi Tianhao finally rose, his face full of respect.
Of course, it was only a facade.
In his heart, he had no respect for Shen Mo.
He even thought Shen Mo was a fool.
To have given him such an important treasure.
Now that he was Supre, opportunities for treasure and tempering lay everywhere.
One day, he would surely ascend to Saint.
By then, Shen Mo might still be crawling slowly at the Supre realm.
"Friend Shi, do you have any plans now?"
Shen Mo asked casually.
Shi Tianhao initially thought to say he planned to venture out for treasure.
But after a mont’s thought, he replied, "I plan... to first enter seclusion for a few years, to adapt to the Supre Realm."
Lei Daoheng nodded approvingly. "Such steadiness is rare indeed. I also believe you should spend a few years adapting."
He sighed. "After all, not everyone is like Brother Shen, blessed with such heaven-defying talent."
Shen Mo smiled lightly. "I see. I had originally wanted to invite Friend Shi to train together."
"Since that is so, I shall venture out to temper myself alone."
