He has been in the Array Formation Realm for over a year now. Putting aside his combat strength and only mentioning his progress in cultivation, one can only say that it's barely passable.
Chapter 1133 He won't learn this, he won't learn that
Of course, this "barely acceptable" is from Shi Hao's perspective.
"I've roughly calculated that at my current cultivation speed, it will take me several more years to reach the Array Formation Realm to a level I'm satisfied with," Shi Hao said, counting on his fingers.
The point of cultivating the Array Formation Realm to his satisfaction is quite subtle.
For Shi Hao to be satisfied, that would be extremely difficult.
"We still need to break through the barrier between the formation and the Venerable One, which will take some time."
"It's been too long, far too long," Shi Hao said, turning his gaze to Yun Hua with a hopeful expression.
"Brother Yun, teach me!"
"Brother Hao, you're already very fast. If you go any faster, you'll cause health problems," Shi Qingfeng whispered to him.
If Shi Hao's speed were to increase any further, Shi Qingfeng was somewhat worried that it might affect Shi Hao's foundation.
"Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed a bit slow," Yunhua said, a view that differed from Shi Qingfeng's.
"Right, right? Of course, the great Emperor of the Stone Kingdom will go all the way." Shi Hao was pleased to receive Yun Hua's approval.
"I have several methods here that can quickly help you break through to the Venerable realm. After using them, I guarantee you will successfully break through," Yunhua said.
Which method do you want to use?
Shi Hao was pleasantly surprised. As expected of Brother Yun, he had several methods to quickly break through to the Venerable level!
"I'll do whatever Brother Yun says!"
“The first thing is to take medicine.” Yunhua said slowly, “There are many pills or formulas for this in a small house. Even in the Eight Regions, there are Lesser Nirvana Pills that can help people break through their cultivation levels.”
Shi Hao thought for a moment and then asked a question.
"Could it affect one's foundation and subsequent cultivation?"
"Of course, forcibly breaking through a barrier using external aids like pills will inevitably result in some flaws," Yunhua replied.
This isn't a world like Battle Through the Heavens, A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, or Rebellion of Immortals, where taking medicine has no side effects.
Shi Hao immediately shook his head rapidly, shaking it like a rattle-drum.
"I refuse to accept it! How can one take medicine to break through a barrier?"
Yunhua was not surprised and continued, "The second method is to ask God Liu for help. I will provide the array diagram and set up the array to forcefully condense the power of the origin of heaven and earth into the body."
"We will surely break through the barrier with great force and soar to new heights."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao realized that it was using the power of the origin of heaven and earth, which sounded much more advanced than taking elixirs.
However, he still asked, "Will it affect my foundation and subsequent cultivation?"
Yunhua nodded, "It still will. Although it is the power of the origin of heaven and earth, it is ultimately a forced breakthrough using other powers, and it is not perfect."
For anyone else, this method would be perfect, but for Shi Hao, it was slightly flawed.
"No, no, it can't be perfect, I don't need it." Shi Hao shook his head quickly again.
Yunhua then told Shihao several more methods, all of which involved using various forces to forcefully break through the barrier.
Yunhua even proposed the path of marriage and then dual cultivation.
To be fair, this is a perfect method, without any flaws. But Shi Hao, blushing, refused.
Finally, Yunhua put on a stern face and tapped Shi Hao's head three times.
"You don't need this, you don't want that, do you still want to advance to the Venerable realm quickly?"
Shi Hao covered his head, and just as he was about to refute Yun Hua, his eyes lit up.
"Brother Yun, if you have any better ideas, just tell me now!"
"No need to wait until the middle of the night, I'll talk to you when I come to find you. Hurry up, hurry up."
Yunhua tapped Shi Hao on the head again and said irritably, "Even a monkey isn't as clever as you."
Shi Qingfeng stood to the side, completely bewildered, not understanding what kind of riddle the two were playing. His comprehension skills were clearly lacking.
At this moment, several people also entered the Central Heavenly Palace, their bodies radiating a murderous aura, which gradually subsided.
They were Shi Zhongtian, Shi Ziling, and some old kings of the Shi Kingdom.
Upon seeing Yunhua, the people from Shicun were all taken aback, and then greeted Yunhua earnestly.
The old kings of Shi Kingdom also knew Yunhua, and knew that he was the powerful backer behind their current emperor.
After these people came in, Shi Hao didn't have time to ask Yun Hua any more questions and went to greet them instead.
Through Shi Hao's conversation with them, Yun Hua also understood what Shi Zhongtian and the others had gone to do.
To outsiders, the Stone Emperor's disappearance meant he was already dead.
Many kings and princes of the Stone Kingdom coveted the throne of the Human Emperor, as did many powerful sects from beyond the borders.
They wanted to seize this excellent opportunity to control the Stone Kingdom, enhance their own strength, and also use it as a springboard to squeeze into the Wilderness.
After all, the great calamity of the desolate region had just passed, and these forces in the desolate region were at their weakest.
Under such circumstances, some royal princes and nobles of the Stone Kingdom felt that it was virtually impossible for them to ascend to the throne by relying on their own power and strength.
Therefore, they accepted the olive branches extended by those major religions from beyond the region. They quickly reached an agreement and decided to join forces.
You support me in ascending to the throne of the Human Emperor. After I become the Human Emperor, I will fulfill your requests.
However, Shi Hao made his final appearance, forcefully inheriting the throne of the Human Emperor, defeating the Venerable, and shattering all conspiracies.
All those who resisted were suppressed under Shi Hao's strong leadership, and the foundation of the Shi Kingdom was not seized by outsiders.
After inheriting the throne, Shi Hao invited Shi Zhongtian and others to come out and help him, to serve as his wings and core group.
Shi Zhongtian is quite strong; even a seasoned king like King Wu is no match for him.
After three years of arduous training in Shicun, his progress was rapid, and he became even more powerful.
Now that he has emerged from seclusion, he ranks among the top kings of the Stone Kingdom.
Shi Ziling is also a top expert in the Inscription Realm, and Qin Yining's cultivation has also recovered with the help of Shi Village.
Qin Hao is now twelve years old and is about to reach the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, making him a powerful force.
His opponents are mainly the younger generation, and he wants to demonstrate the future strength of the Stone Kingdom.
Shi Shan, Qinglin Ying, and others also came to help Shi Hao.
In addition, there were a group of kings and nobles who were loyal to the Kingdom of Shi, such as the King of War and the Marquis of Hun Tian.
Therefore, Shi Hao's team is quite solid.
The main task for Shi Zhongtian and his team during this period was to clean up the capital and suppress all the troublemakers from the past.
Whether you are a king or a prince.
The great sects from beyond the realm may be able to escape, but where can those kings and princes who caused the chaos go?
Shi Hao could tolerate their arrogance, but their collusion with outsiders, their disruption of the clan, and their inviting trouble into the family had crossed the line.
Therefore, those who should be suppressed should be suppressed, and those who should be beheaded should be beheaded. We must restore the capital and the stability of the Stone Kingdom as quickly as possible.
Shi Hao naturally wouldn't do these things personally. It would be enough for Shi Zhongtian and his faction to handle it.
After all, those who started the rebellion were a minority. The majority of people were still loyal to the Kingdom of Shi.
His real opponents are those powerful sects from beyond the realms.
Chapter 1134 Killing Shi Hao
"By this point, most of the instigators had been suppressed, while a few had fled far away, having already left the territory of the Stone Kingdom."
"It will take some time to apprehend and suppress them," Shi Zhongtian stated, recounting their achievements.
"Thank you all for your hard work," Shi Hao said warmly. "You can all go to the Imperial Treasury later to choose your rewards."
Although his grandparents, parents, and brothers were there, he still made a gesture.
"To quell the rebellion in the Kingdom of Shi and to share the burdens of the Emperor, there is no need to talk about hardship; it is all our duty."
The War King, a senior figure among the kings of the Stone Kingdom, spoke.
This old king was utterly loyal to the Stone Kingdom and the Stone Clan.
"The Emperor naturally understands the War King's heart," Yun Hua said with a smile.
"It is precisely because of the War King's enthusiasm for the Stone Clan that the Human Emperor should reward you even more."
Then Yunhua secretly slipped a few pills to Shi Hao, without anyone noticing except the two of them.
"Little Nirvana Pill." This is what Yunhua said to Shi Hao through telepathy.
Shi Hao's heart stirred. He had just mentioned the Lesser Nirvana Pill, but he didn't expect it to be in his hands now.
He was well aware of the effects of the Lesser Nirvana Pill, and therefore understood Yunhua's meaning.
These are all loyal subjects of the Shi Kingdom. They must be rewarded handsomely, and with something they cannot refuse!
Shi Hao thought to himself, "Brother Yun is so thoughtful."
The imperial palace treasury held little appeal for someone like the War King.
After all, they've reached this point, and they don't ask for much more. But the Lesser Nirvana Pill is different.
For a cultivator like Zhan Wang, who has reached the peak of the Array Formation Realm but cannot advance any further, this is a treasure worth risking one's life for.
He can help the King of War advance to the Venerable level.
For Shi Hao, pills can be used to assist in cultivation on a regular basis, but relying on pills for crucial breakthroughs in realms would leave flaws.
But for the War King, who the hell cares about all that? Being promoted to Venerable is the greatest blessing.
As expected, when Shi Hao offered them a generous reward and presented them with the Lesser Nirvana Pill, the War King and his companions were moved.
Then, Shi Hao added that if Hun Tianhou and the others eventually reach the level of War King, they can also obtain the Lesser Nirvana Pill from here.
Hun Tianhou and the others still have potential; they should have no problem advancing to the Array Realm through their own hard work.
Keep the small Nirvana Pills for them for now. Of course, the other rewards will still be given.
When Zhan Wang and his group saw Shi Hao's handwriting, they felt a complex mix of emotions.
"There is no need for you to refuse. You are all pillars of my Shi Kingdom. When you become strong, my Shi Kingdom will prosper."
Shi Hao spoke solemnly, but as he spoke, a look of relief appeared on his face.
“I’m under a lot of pressure, supporting so many major religions from outside the region all by myself.”
"What, senior colleagues, do you not want to share my burdens?"
The War King and his companions exchanged glances. The Human Emperor had already put it this way; if they refused or remained silent, they would be ungrateful.
And what can they say?
"I will certainly not disappoint the Emperor's expectations. I am willing to serve the Emperor and die for the Kingdom of Shi!"
Whether or not they were truly willing to die for each other, they made the polite gestures first.
It was another scene of harmonious relations between the ruler and his subject. After talking for a while, Shi Hao came to Yun Hua's side again.
He was very curious about the method that would allow him to quickly and perfectly advance to the Venerable level.
Yunhua smiled and extended her thumb and forefinger towards Shi Hao, rubbing them together.
"I have to present gifts to see His Majesty the Emperor, and if His Majesty doesn't offer something in return..."
"This is going to be a difficult situation."
Shi Hao was indignant. Sure enough, as I got older, Brother Yun's love for me decreased, and almost disappeared.
"I'll sell Qingfeng to you to be your slave," Shi Hao said reluctantly.
"???" Shi Qingfeng was full of questions.
Yunhua smiled and shook his head, saying, "I want to speed up my cultivation."
