Chapter 1909
Chapter 1909 - A Descendant
Shi Ziling and his wife were also old, but their cultivation levels weren’t weak. After experiencing Shi Hao’s blood baptism, they were still okay.
Only, now, when they looked at Stone Village again, the two of them became extremely emotional. The enthusiastic villagers they previously recognized were no longer there, the end of an entire generation of people.
Now, Stone Village had many later generations, but when they saw the couple, they all carried expressions of respect, already different from the first generation’s people.
“Let’s head to the higher realm.” Shi Hao suggested for his parents to leave. They had to avoid places that brought back past memories, or else they would feel too much sorrow.
Now, the big red bird, Green Scaled Eagle Clan, even the Heavenly Horse Little White had entered the higher realm. As for Mu Qing, Zhu Lin, Emperor Butterfly and the others, there was even less of a need to talk about them.
“I am going to grow of old age one day too. My best years are already behind me.” Yun Xi said quietly.
“You won’t grow old.” Shi Hao replied. He looked at this woman who had accompanied him through this entire journey.
Not even he himself expected that in this life, in the end, it was still this girl who always followed him, accompanying him to the lower realms when his body was crippled, still fulfilling her filial duty after a thousand years.
It was because he was cultivating, comprehending the dao, a single instance of seclusion would last many years.
“The best years of a woman, their most beautiful age, I am already about to lose it. It truly is about to be far from me.” Yun Xi’s eyes became red, still sobbing in the end.
She knew that sooner or later, she was going to leave this world as well, passing away under the passage of time, yet Shi Hao would still be fine. She would wither away many years before him, become old and gray-haired.
This was especially the case when she saw how Shi Hao acted with Dazhuang, Ermeng and the others, she felt even more emotional.
“I want a child, that way, one day, when my appearance is no longer there, my hair white like frost, he still won’t turn his back on me, accompany me at my side.” Yun Xi looked at Shi Hao, her eyes carrying tears as she spoke.
She really was scared. When she saw how ruthless time was, she really was unwilling. She didn’t want to leave Shi Hao, but she didn’t want him to see her gradually age either. Sooner or later, one day, her beauty would completely disappear, her face would become covered in wrinkles. At that time, Shi Hao might have just reached the peak of his life.
She really was scared!
It was because she didn’t want to lose him. During all these years, she was always single-minded, she had no regrets.
“No matter how you change, I still won’t leave you. Don’t think too much, don’t feel bad!” Shi Hao embraced her.
After all these years, they were rarely together, instead always apart, because he spent most of his time cultivating. Even though they were dao companions, the time they spent together really wasn’t great.
In the following period, Shi Hao paid more attention to the people around him. He was also scared and worried, fearing that some people would suddenly disappear.
However, even after two hundred years passed, Yun Xi still didn’t give birth. Even so, her mind also became much more carefree.
Perhaps once some things were accepted, when one watched the clouds curl up and unfold, when they saw flowers blossom and wither, watched as rain knocked down fruits from trees, her heart became much more peaceful, having no regrets left in this life.
However, when she was two thousand five hundred years old, early in the morning, she still released a light sigh. She saw a strand of white hair in her reflection, just that striking in her beautiful hair.
She knew that her most beautiful period truly was over, she was also going to gradually age.
Shi Hao sensed something. He walked over, stroking her long hair. His fingertips shone, that strand of white hair instantly becoming sparkling, shedding the snow-white color, once again becoming dazzling.
“I am growing old.” Yun Xi said quietly.
“You won’t. There was some progress recently, I’ll find the Divine Flower of Everlasting Beauty soon. I will pick it for you.”
In reality, Shi Hao also carried regret inside. After all these years, Yun Xi still never gave birth. The child she wanted never entered this world.
Shi Hao had carefully examined both her and himself. Both of them were fine, there shouldn’t be any issues.
The only possibility was that his cultivation level was now too high, so having a child would become extremely difficult.
It was because this had always been something that left cultivators with a huge headache. How many children could immortal kings have after endless years? The bloodline and descendants were all left behind before they achieved immortality.
Shi Hao’s cultivation level was now extremely high, even stronger than his past supreme being self. He couldn’t even say for sure what his strength was like now.
However, he was still in the secular world, not triggering any immortal ascension scenes.
Perhaps it was precisely because he was too strong that having an heir was too difficult.
That day, Shi Hao left. He personally headed to some extremely dangerous remains, a place where even supreme beings had a chance of dying.
However, Shi Hao walked through this place as if it was level ground. When he arrived at his destination, it was as if there was no one there, nothing able to stop his advance.
This was not only because he was now an unrivaled formations master, it was also because his dao skills were profound and terrifying.
Not long afterwards, Shi Hao brought back a flower. The morning multicolored light was dazzling, carrying thriving life force. He gifted it to Yun Xi.
“For you. It’s name is Sunrise Brilliance, able to preserve your youth forever. No matter how old you are, your appearance will never change, preserving the beautiful period.”
Shi Hao gifted it to her, moreover helped her refine this medicine.
Yun Xi carried tears as she smiled. What regrets did she have left? However, she knew that this could only preserve her appearance, unable to prevent her from aging, leaving this world.
However, what she cared about the most was that she left behind her most beautiful, most perfect side for Shi Hao to remember. She was scared that when she died sooner or later one day, she wouldn’t have anything to leave behind.
“I am extremely happy!” She smiled brilliantly.
Half a year later, a piece of astonishing news even more so made Yun Xi stand up, feeling incredibly fulfilled. She immediately told Shi Hao.
“We have a child?” Shi Hao was similarly shocked.
Shi Hao had a descendant! When news went out, Imperial Court was shocked, many people were excited.
He always lacked an offspring, this was no longer only Shi Hao’s greatest regret, it was also a sore spot of many from Imperial Court. They all hoped that Shi Hao could pass his experiences to his own inheritor.
His dao skills were profound, bloodline domineering, in the future, his heir would definitely have exceptional talent as well. Only like this could Imperial Court be preserved for countless years.
During these years, even Mu Qing, Shi Zhong, and the others long had later generations. Now that Shi Hao had a child, it could be considered that a ‘great project’ was finally completed.
Yun Xi was the happiest, smiling every day. Even though it was still long before the child was going to be born, she had long been filled with the radiance of a mother.
Several days later, the world surged. A wave of terrifying aura descended from the heavens. Large amounts of ascension radiance descended, almost completely submerging Imperial Court’s giant palace, crushing this place into powder.
Many people trembled in fear. They were crushed by this Immortal Dao aura until their bodies were about to explode.
Following a cold snort, Shi Hao suddenly turned around. Then, with a wave of his great sleeves, crazy winds roared, engulfing the heavens. This was a storm created from the great dao, the surging of natural laws, completely sweeping the Immortal Dao energy clean.
“Heh heh, Huang, I trust you’ve been well since we last met?”
In the sky dome above, someone was laughing. A man stood in the void, walking over step by step. He looked extremely handsome, age not over twenty something.
In terms of appearance, this person was perfect. He carried immortal energy, but possessed a type of sinister temperament.
In his hand was a fist-sized bronze palace that released strands of Immortal Dao energy from within. He looked down on Imperial Court, looked down on Shi Hao, approaching step by step.
“Ruined immortal!” Shi Hao said coldly.
“My dao foundation has been restored, cultivation already returned. Now, I have a complete true immortal body.” This sinister looking young man said.
He was precisely Immortal Palace’s ruined immortal!
He had already recovered as early as a thousand years ago, but he never did anything, instead continuing to nurture his body, stabilizing his dao skill. Only when he had confidence that he was perfectly fine, his vitality fully recovered, did he come to seek out Shi Hao.
“Heh heh…” He was laughing, completely carefree and indifferent as he looked down. He looked at Shi Hao, and then at Yun Xi. “I heard that you two had a descendant, so I came specially to send my congratulations. Who knows, this might be a divine fetus immortal seed! I came to guide him!”
He laughed loudly, but then suddenly acted out, reaching out a large hand, directly grabbing towards Yun Xi’s belly. “I am going to take him!”
Imperial Court’s people were all furious. This person was too vicious.
“Get lost!”
Shi Hao waved his great sleeve, producing a hazy world. This was the World Within the Sleeve divine ability, its power tremendous.
“Huang, when I heard that you produced a descendant, I specially came to see off your family of three, let you forever be together. All of you can go on your way!”
The voice of Immortal Palace’s founder was deep and cold, icy and ruthless. He chose to take action, his viciousness just too strong, full of sinister intent.
Hong!
Shi Hao rushed up, not feeling any fear.
Endless great dao ripples erupted between the two, just too terrifying. Under Shi Hao’s urging, they entered outer space. Otherwise, Shi Hao was scared that everything below would be destroyed.
This left everyone shocked, especially the crimson dragon and others. Their mouths were wide open, completely speechless.
“Master… he can fight a true immortal?!”
They were just too shocked. Shi Hao wasn’t an immortal, was he going against the heavens to kill an immortal?
This entire world was shaken!
All experts could see this, watching from the dark. This was simply a miracle.
He wasn’t at the Immortal Dao Domain, yet he could defy the world and kill immortals? This was enough to be recorded in the history of cultivation!
“Kill!” Immortal Palace’s expert roared out. That bronze palace increased in size, suspended above his head, releasing strand after strand of immortal energy, completely protecting him.
The true immortal went berserk. He hated Shi Hao too much, wishing to tear him apart, and then kill his descendant.
Only, what left him shocked was that this opponent was ridiculously powerful, dao skills absurdly high. He never truly achieved immortality, so why could he fight this kind of great battle?
Dang!
What was even more shocking was that Shi Hao didn’t even use the Everlasting Sword Core, facing the immortal artifact bare-handedly. A large hand slapped over, striking the Bronze Immortal Palace above his head with a dang sound.
“You can just go to hell!”
The true immortal roared. He brandished that bronze palace, controlling the immortal artifact, attacking fiercely, wishing to kill Shi Hao here.
Dang dang dang…
What left everyone shocked happened. Shi Hao didn’t back up, instead taking the initiative to fight, facing him head-on. His large palm was golden, moving endless amounts of divine force, incomparably valiant, continuously striking the bronze palace.
Peng!
In the end, that bronze palace was blasted flying. There was actually a hand imprint on its surface, cracks appearing!
“How is this possible?!” The true immortal screamed out, his face full of horror.
Someone defied the world to face an immortal? This shattered all normal reasoning!
Just what cultivation realm was this, what level? He couldn’t see through Shi Hao!
Shi Hao’s blood energy surged. He was currently at the peak of his life. His entire body was surrounded by a layer of divine splendor, as if an emperor roamed the world.
Kill!
Shi Hao released a light shout. A fist smashed out, blood energy surging, primal chaos hazy, smashing through this star domain.
When the bronze palace above the ruined immortal’s head was sent flying, the impenetrable defense was almost completely gone. He could only face Shi Hao, fight him head-on.
Pu!
In the end, he was shaken until he coughed out blood, not a match for that youngster.
The ferocious battle shocked the world.
AHH!!!
He released a miserable scream. This Immortal Palace expert was horrified, all of his fine hairs standing on end. He was grabbed by a large golden hand.
“Die!” Shi Hao released a shout.
With a pu sound, he tightened his grip, using all of his strength. Blood splashed outwards, immortal blood gushing into the heavens!
“No!” The true immortal cried out in horror, now reaching the end of this life.
In the end, all of his struggles were futile. With that large hand fiercely clenched, his body exploded, primordial spirit shattered.
