Chat group: Fusion of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, Healer Willow Goddess

Page 165

They all unleashed their trump cards for survival—ancient talismans capable of tearing through the void, or teleportation artifacts bestowed upon them by their elders—and fled Crane Cry Mountain in a panic, like stray dogs!

They were attempting to return to the upper realm as quickly as possible to report the earth-shattering events that had occurred there to their respective lineages!

They knew that the lower realm was no longer their "backyard" where they could do whatever they wanted!

A true prodigy has appeared here! A terrifying being capable of threatening their future! Part Two

Watching the figures flee in panic, Bi Gu, Lan Yu, and the others were filled with fear, but their faction was relatively neutral and had no direct grudge against Shi Hao. Furthermore, they valued Shi Hao's extraordinary potential, and ultimately suppressed their fear, choosing to stay.

"Brother Shi... Brother Shi..." Bigu forced a smile that looked more like a grimace as he stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Shi Hao, his tone filled with undisguised awe. "Brother Shi, you are truly awe-inspiring! Today's battle has truly broadened our horizons and left us in awe!"

He really didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at that moment.

“Yes,” Lan Yu also walked over, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, filled with complex emotions. She looked at Shi Hao, her voice gentle yet tinged with seriousness, “Brother Shi’s talent surpasses that of his contemporaries, and his future achievements are limitless. I just wonder… what are Brother Shi’s plans next?”

She paused, seemingly considering her words, before tentatively asking, "The great calamity in the lower realm is already showing signs, and Senior Kunpengzi has said that 'there are no gods in the lower realm,' which may lead to further unforeseen events. I've heard that the ancient 'paths to heaven' connecting the upper and lower realms have become extremely unstable due to recent changes in the world, and may close or collapse at any time... If Brother Shi wishes to go to the upper realm, perhaps... he should make plans as soon as possible."

Her words were both a reminder and a subtle attempt to win her over.

After all, returning to the Upper Realm with a prodigy like Shi Hao, whose potential is boundless, would be a huge investment for their respective lineages.

However, after listening to their words, Shi Hao simply shook his head calmly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fairy Lanyu." He cupped his hands in thanks to Lanyu and the others, acknowledging their kindness. "However, I do not plan to go to the Upper Realm for the time being."

"As for the path to the upper realm..." Shi Hao's lips curled into a confident smile, "I have my own methods, and I don't need to rely on the so-called 'path to heaven'."

He has the Willow God! He has a chat group! He even has a small tower! Going to the Upper Realm is not difficult for him!

"I, Shi Hao, will walk my own path!" His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with unwavering determination and confidence. "I will not rely on any power! In the future, I will rely on my own strength to rightfully ascend to the Upper Realm!"

Upon hearing Shi Hao's words, Bigu, Lanyu, and the others were all shocked!

Looking at the young man before them, who, despite his youth, already displayed an invincible spirit, they were filled with indescribable awe!

Reaching the upper realm through one's own strength?!

What a spirit! What confidence!

They knew that no amount of courting would be of any use.

The boy's unwavering resolve and the breadth of his path far exceeded their imagination.

"In that case...we will not linger any longer." Bigu bowed deeply to Shi Hao once more, his tone filled with respect. "Brother Shi, we hope that we will meet again in the Upper Realm! When that day comes, we will certainly welcome you back with open arms!"

"Until we meet again." Lan Yu and the others stepped forward to bid a solemn farewell to Shi Hao.

They knew that after today, this young man would probably soar to great heights and become someone even the upper realm would take notice of!

After watching Bigu, Lanyu and the others leave one after another, only Shi Hao and the two stunning beauties with different expressions remained on the main peak of Crane Cry Mountain.

"Alright," Shi Hao glanced at the Yuechan sub-body beside him, whose eyes were filled with complex emotions and who seemed to still be processing everything that had just happened, and then glanced at the witch who was looking at him with great interest, and said indifferently, "Now that this matter is settled, we should return to Stone Village."

"Back to Stone Village?" Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed in the witch's alluring eyes. "Little brother, won't you stay a few more days? I still want to properly 'tour' the scenery of this Stone Kingdom."

Shi Hao rolled his eyes: "Stop with the nonsense. Let's get going."

He didn't want to linger outside any longer; who knew what other fools might come along to cause trouble?

After saying that, he ignored the witch's "protest" and directly summoned the small jade boat.

Then... his gaze fell on Yuechan's second body.

Yuechan felt a tightness in her heart as he stared at her, and subconsciously took a step back, a hint of wariness appearing on her pretty face.

Looking at her expression, Shi Hao smirked and deliberately said, "What? Fairy sister... doesn't want to come back with me? Or do you want to stay here and wait for your main body to come and save you?"

Upon hearing the mention of the main body, Yuechan's secondary body's pretty face instantly turned deathly pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly!

The main body has already been suppressed by Shi Hao!

"I...I..." She bit her red lips, her heart filled with humiliation and resentment, but in the end...she silently lowered her head, as if resigned to her fate, and walked towards the small jade boat.

"Hehehe..." The witch laughed heartily at Yuechan's "compromising" appearance. She gracefully walked to Shi Hao's side, reached out her slender hand, and gently took his arm. Her breath was sweet as orchids. "Little brother, look at you, you've made that fairy sister cry again~ You're such a little rascal~"

Shi Hao glanced at her and said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense and get on the boat!"

"Alright~" The witch giggled and obediently followed Shi Hao onto the small boat.

The jade boat flashed with light, transformed into a streak of light, and instantly disappeared above Crane Cry Mountain, speeding towards Stone Village.

……

On the way home, aboard the small boat, the atmosphere became subtle once again.

Yuechan remained silent and taciturn, sitting alone at the stern of the boat, closing her eyes to regulate her breathing. However, her long eyelashes, which occasionally trembled slightly, still betrayed the unease in her heart.

Having witnessed the upheaval at Crane Cry Mountain, especially after seeing the main body easily suppressed by Shi Hao, and even the Divine Fire Realm protectors from the Upper Realm being slaughtered like vegetables, the last trace of resistance in Yue Chanci's mind and body seemed to have been completely extinguished.

She knew that the gap between herself and the boy in front of her was so great that it was like an insurmountable chasm!

Instead of struggling in vain, perhaps... it's better to temporarily accept one's fate?

However, the thought that she, the Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect, would be reduced to a mere "maid" of a mortal boy, or even worse... filled her heart with endless humiliation and sorrow.

But at the same time... for some reason, when she secretly glanced at the boy who was resting with his eyes closed and seemed indifferent to everything, a very subtle ripple would uncontrollably rise in her heart.

Shi Hao's subconscious protection when facing her main body's killing intent, and the invincible aura he displayed now that seemed capable of suppressing everything...

All of this, like a small pebble thrown into the long-frozen lake of her heart, caused ripples that she herself could not comprehend.

She silently observed Shi Hao, no longer filled with hostility and resistance as before, but instead showing a hint of inexplicable curiosity.

What kind of person is he? How many secrets does he still harbor? How will he deal with himself? And how will he deal with the suppressed original body?

Various thoughts, like fluttering willow catkins, drifted through Yuechan's mind, plunging her into an extremely complex state of confusion.

Meanwhile, the witch on the other side completely let loose!

Her interest in Shi Hao had reached an unprecedented peak!

This little guy is not only incredibly strong, but also has a mind that's almost superhuman! And he always seems to bring her all sorts of unexpected "surprises"!

Like a child who has discovered a new and exciting toy, she kept hovering around Shi Hao, displaying her "fairy-like" nature!

Occasionally, she would extend her slender fingers, seemingly unintentionally tracing across Shi Hao's arm or cheek, feeling his strong skin, and teasingly say with seductive eyes, "Oh my~ little brother, your skin seems to have gotten even better in just a few days~ Did you secretly use some kind of magic potion? Share it with your big sister, okay?"

At times, she would deliberately lean close to Shi Hao's ear, her breath sweet as orchids, and in a seductive tone, she would whisper the secrets about the Willow Goddess and the Ruthless Empress: "Little brother~ tell your sister the truth~ what exactly are your Willow Goddess master and that Empress sister in white? How are they so powerful?"

Then he would turn his attention to Yuechan, deliberately provoking her, "Little brother, look, Yuechan seems a bit unhappy. Does she feel neglected by you? Why don't you... (good money Zhao)... go and 'comfort' her tonight?"

Every smile, every gesture, was filled with deadly allure and scheming! It was as if she wanted to completely bewitch Shi Hao and uncover all his secrets!

Shi Hao was also feeling a bit of a headache from the witch's "harassment," which was like being haunted by a demon.

He knew this demon had ill intentions and was definitely testing him, perhaps even trying to extract information about the Willow Goddess and the Ruthless Empress from him.

However, he didn't seem to care.

With his current state of mind and strength, the witch's little tricks are not enough to truly shake him.

He would sometimes put on a stern face and solemnly reprimand the witch, telling her to "be mindful of her influence" and "keep her distance."

Sometimes he would deliberately go along with her words and tease her in return, making her feel both ashamed and angry, yet helpless.

Sometimes I would simply ignore her teasing, close my eyes and meditate, letting her "pose and flirt" beside me, while I remained unmoved.

This ambiguous attitude, sometimes assertive and domineering, sometimes playful and mischievous, only made the witch feel more "heart-wrenching" and her interest in Shi Hao grew stronger!

This little guy... is becoming more and more unpredictable, and more and more fascinating!

Of course, while Shi Hao was "outwitting and outmaneuvering" the witch, he did not forget to think about serious matters.

First and foremost is self-cultivation.

Although he has reached the peak of the Venerable Realm, he is still some distance away from the true Divine Fire Realm.

Although the Lesser Nirvana Pill is potent, it requires more accumulation and understanding to truly ignite the divine fire.

The Kunpeng Treasure Technique, the Reincarnation Treasure Technique, the Heaven-Mending Technique, the prototype of the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique... He needs to spend a lot of time comprehending, integrating, and truly unleashing the power of these supreme techniques!

In particular, the Kunpeng Treasure Technique and the Reincarnation Treasure Technique, these two core inheritances, are his greatest reliance for dominating the Upper Realm in the future!

Secondly, there's the matter of future planning.

We definitely have to go to the Upper Realm! And the sooner the better!

Kunpengzi has already taken the lead; he doesn't want to fall too far behind!

Chapter 119: Willow God's Affirmation! Moon Fairy's Fusion! The Fairy and Shi Hao's Cultivation!

Shi Hao thought for a moment, then remembered Shi Yi's existence.

Although he was killed in the battle of the Void God Realm, the mysterious gray-clad woman with double pupils said that he was not truly dead.

Perhaps, just like in the original story, Shi Yi was saved by the woman with double pupils.

Finally, how should we deal with the main body of Yuechan?

This is Shi Hao's biggest headache right now.

Kill her? That seems a bit of a waste, especially since she was the Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect; it would involve too much.

Let them go? Absolutely not! Releasing a tiger back into the mountains would lead to endless trouble!

Suppressing them indefinitely is not a long-term solution.

Shi Hao stroked his chin, looking at Yue Chan's secondary body, who was still meditating silently in the distance, and a very bold idea suddenly surged into his mind!

The primary body and the secondary body... are inherently one.

What if we could get them to merge again?

Moreover, it is dominated by the consciousness of the secondary body, integrating the power and Dao fruit of the primary body.

In this way, not only can the hidden danger of the main body of Yuechan be completely eliminated, but the secondary body of Yuechan can also be freed from its constraints and reborn!

It might even allow you to have a powerful and peerless fairy by your side, who might also harbor some unusual feelings for you?

Once this thought appeared, it was like wild grass that grew uncontrollably!

"Hey hey hey..."

Shi Hao looked at Yue Chan's retreating figure, a wicked smile spreading across his face.

While Yuechan was meditating, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

She felt as if she were being watched by something extremely terrifying, which made her involuntarily shiver...
