Chapter 1744
Of course, this didn’t include the so-called First Spiritual Root. That thing was hidden in the lower realms by an archaic great figure, definitely a stalk of immortal medicine. Unfortunately, it was brought away.
Otherwise, this time, Shi Hao would have gone there to dig out that First Spiritual Root no matter what!
Apart from this, there wasn’t a single decent stalk of divine medicine even if the eight regions were scoured, only a few stalks of holy medicines, no way for them to advance further. In the end, the environment was not suitable.
Shi Hao felt that those stalks of holy medicines might all be divine roots!
He suspected that if he dug them out and brought them back to Stone Village to raise, they might produce their original appearances, become rare divine essence.
In the village, there were already some spiritual medicines that released brilliant splendor, their medicinal fragrance wafting out. Living year-round in this type of condition was extremely beneficial to their bodies.
In the lower realms, a single stalk of divine medicine needed a spiritual mountain’s nurturing, and only then would they grow.
Meanwhile, inside the endless mountain peaks, having a single spiritual mountain was already pretty good.
The reason why Stone Village could nurture so many spiritual medicines was because Shi Hao had previously brought back some special sand from the Hundred Shattering Mountains, divine earth soaked in Unaging Spring[re]Previously Immortal Spring, changing to reduce use of the word ‘immortal’[/ref], exuberant life force within it!
“This peach tree is not bad, it’s definitely good stuff!” Shi Hao saw a silver peach tree in the village, snow-white like silver. Its branches were like dragons, only half a person tall.
This was also something he brought out from the Hundred Shattering Mountains. Originally a holy medicine, but the roots were divided, thus falling to becoming a half holy medicine.
“If there is a chance, I should make a trip around the Hundred Shattering Mountains again.”
Shi Hao said to himself. He always felt like that place was full of mysteries, that it was an extremely special place. This time, he had to properly investigate the lower realms.
When he thought back to the Hundred Shattering Mountains, Shi Hao’s thoughts couldn’t help but wander. That was the first time he clashed with others in the Desolate Region, facing off in a mysterious place.
That was also where he caught Second Baldy, captured the big red bird and met Huo Ling’er. Of course, it was also where he ‘wrestled’ Yun Xi.
Apart from this, he also fought, but eventually made friends, restraining a Nine-Headed Lion, in the end becoming sworn brothers. Now that he came back, he was naturally going to pay them a visit.
Without a doubt, the silver peach tree’s mother body should be a stalk of divine medicine, but because of the environment, it couldn’t display its true self.
In the end, he stroked a sparkling little stone in his hair, the Divine Striking Stone!
This fella’s origins were strange, also coming from the Hundred Shattered Mountain Range’s little world.
“The Unaging Spring is definitely extraordinary. Even in that type of environment, it could produce supreme treasures on the level of divine liquid and higher!” Shi Hao said to himself. Back then, he only obtained a few drops, the true Unaging Spring turning into a dragon and escaped.
Even the Divine Striking Stone who was so lowly, staying there year-round, wasn’t able to obtain it after scheming for endless years.
Apart from this, there was a stalk of Sentience Flower. Now that he thought about it, it was more powerful than many divine medicines, able to grant plants, stones, and other things sentience, bestow consciousness upon them.
Just how heaven-defying of a thing was this?
Unfortunately, it ran back then!
“Was it because it was being suppressed? That Sentience Flower might be that place’s most precious thing!” Shi Hao’s thoughts went wild, really wishing to immediately rush to the Hundred Shattering Mountain Range.
Just that moment of thoughts made Shi Hao feel like there were many places in the lower realms worth exploring. Hundred Shattering Mountains, Kun Peng Nest, Wall of Gods and Devils, Western Tomb Realm, and others.
This was especially true for the paper boat folding woman. This time, perhaps he might be able to follow that divine river into another realm, see some heaven-shocking things.
“Hey, little uncle, you’re becoming distracted. What are you thinking about?” A little girl bouted, shaking his arm in dissatisfaction.
“Oh, I was thinking about some events of the past in the Hundred Shattering Mountains.” Shi Hao casually replied.
Not far out, when Yun Xi heard this, her face became red. Shi Hao inadvertently just happened to see it, and then laughed, saying, “You are also thinking about that place?”
“Go die!” Yun Xi was embarrassed.
The children immediately erupted with noise, crying out with oh oh sounds.
Shi Hao immediately knew that the other side definitely recalled his past hoodlum self. He couldn’t beat Yun Xi, so he continuously got closer, biting her ear with everything he had.
Haha...
The atmosphere in Stone Village was lively.
The villagers drank large bowls of wine, eating large mouthfuls of meat. The adults all came here to compete, continuously touching cups.
During this process, Shi Hao drank while eating, helping the children dig holes, guiding them in planting those holy and divine medicines.
In the end, the elders couldn’t sit still anymore, jumping out one after another, their movements even more nimble than the youngsters. It was because they were all anxious, fearing that the divine roots would be damaged.
“Slow down a bit, these are divine medicines! Don’t harm the roots!”
“Little brats, don’t touch the leaves, stay away from the flowers! Be careful or else I’ll slap your butts until they bloom!”
In the villagers’ eyes, there was nothing more precious than these things. These were priceless treasures, a single stalk of divine medicine even more precious than an entire country!
“It’s fine, divine medicines are definitely not that frail.” Shi Hao said magnanimously.
Back then, he chewed on them like radishes, experiencing something like this, so he wasn’t scared of any of these things, not feeling that divine medicines were that rare and precious.
In reality, these divine medicines all had spiritual consciousness, long developed sentience for countless years. Unfortunately, they couldn’t use this to cultivate and become strong.
Sure enough, when the children had just set their hands to this task, a few stalks of divine medicine began to run.
“Aiya, it’s running, hurry and catch it!” Someone panicked.
At the same time, they were stunned. This was... too extraordinary! It exceeded their imaginations. The medicinal herbs could speak and run on the ground!
“It’s fine, they are just choosing their own holes.”
Shi Hao believed that they wouldn’t run. The All Life Earth was here, as long as he promised them that their roots wouldn’t be harmed, they wouldn’t leave even if he chased them out.
All Life Earth, this was something even Burial Kings needed. If one was able to use this to nurture themselves, plant their roots inside, then they would gradually flourish.
There was even less of a need to talk about divine medicines, this was something they desired even more.
There were two Heavenly Deity Trees, both of them overflowing with brilliance, releasing dense spiritual essence, as well as great amounts of multicolored light, making this place seem like an immortal realm, like a wonderland.
Shi Hao told them to show a bit of restraint, now to show off too much, or else this place would look too extraordinary.
Originally, their branches were complex and leaves luxuriant, towered into the clouds, able to cover the entire stone forest, but now, they all shrunk to less than the height of a person, taking root at the heart of the village.
Regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Deity Tree or the divine medicines, they were all distributed All Life Earth, enough to allow them to grow and prosper.
“Even though the fruits on this Heavenly Deity Tree are heaven-defying, they cannot be picked yet right now.” Shi Hao warned.
Whenever a fruit was picked and eaten, one could immediately achieve the heavenly deity level of cultivation, possessing inconceivable divine might.
However, he had previously heard that there were four Heavenly Deity Trees total in this world, that they were originally four main roots. If they could be merged once more, they would return to their former self, become a world-shaking Heavenly Immortal Tree!
At that time, once its fruits were eaten, one would attain immortal dao status.
In reality, even if these two Heavenly Deity Fruits were to merge together, the fruits would also become extremely heaven-defying, but Shi Hao felt like it still wasn’t the right time.
It was a small homeland, yet it had been remodeled by Shi Hao into a divine land. This region’s spiritual essence became so rich it wouldn’t dissolve, making one’s body incredibly comfortable, bones possess even more life force.
Under this type of life force, one’s constitution would improve even if they didn’t try. It was the same as slowly strengthening the body and soul. Given enough time, everyone would slowly change.
Shi Hao carefully examined this place. This quality of the spiritual essence here was exceptional, or perhaps it could be considered divine dao aura, already exceeding the spiritual level.
It really was the case. This type of extravagant layout, even the long life families of the Nine Heavens weren’t more than this. What was missing were only the complete great dao laws.
However, with the villagers’ cultivation, there was no need to consider so much at all. This type of natural laws was an environment that was enough for them to cultivate to a profound level.
Apart from this, the formation Willow Deity established might have also replenished many great dao laws.
Right now, the only one he had to think about was himself, how was he going to cultivate!
“I will find a way. Perhaps I should be a bit more fierce with myself, completely undo all of the shackles, sharpen myself in the cruelest environment, cultivate in primal chaos!”
“Why hasn’t Qinfeng returned yet?” An elder asked.
As soon as he said this, the village’s altar flashed with multicolored light, and then a youngster returned. This place could link up with Stone Country’s imperial palace.
However, it wasn’t Qingfeng, but rather the youngster who went to send the message who came back
“There is a dragon circling outside Stone Clan’s imperial palace, blocking and challenging Uncle Qingfeng.” He gasped for breath.
“Oh? There is this kind of evil dragon, wishing to trouble Stone Country?” Shi Hao was shocked.
“Uncle Qingfeng said that it might be a True Dragon!” The youngster was breathing heavily.
“Is that so? I was going to make a trip there anyway, so I’ll pick Qingfeng up.” Shi Hao downed a large bowl of alcohol.
“I feel like eating a dragon!” The Fearless Lion grinded its teeth. It was because not long ago, it really was angered by the group of brats, now wishing to vent its anger.
Before the villagers could say anything, Shi Hao disappeared with the golden lion, vanishing through the altar.
