“Ahhh, it feels so good!”
As Shi Hao descended, every vessel in his body dilated, his joints crackled, and he inhaled streams of spiritual essence. His flesh glowed crystalline and radiant, his spirit reaching a peak of vitality.
The deeper he went, the denser and warmer the spiritual energy became, searing his body until it flushed a deep red, and slight pain coursed through him.
Yet, after diving dozens of li down, he still had not reached the roots of the Golden Tree, only seeing its thick, golden primary root, while its finer root hairs still extended further below.
“No good, it’s too deep. This ancient tree is just too massive. Each of its leaves bears a star, still in development, yet already displaying its grandeur. Its roots stretch too far; even after diving for days, it may be impossible to reach its depths.”
Shi Hao halted his descent and shot back upward to the sea’s surface, for he had more important matters to attend to.
The Netherworld Flame Liquids stretched like an endless sea, a rare spiritual elixir, perfectly suited for healing his Supreme Sovereignbone. Now, radiant light glowed from his chest, warm and comforting.
Moreover, he would not forsake the grand opportunity presented by the Solar Sacred Tree. Using the power of the Treasure Spell Box, he constantly monitored fluctuations from above.
“The key remains the recovery of my Supreme Sovereignbone. If I can fully restore it here, then missing out on other chances wouldn’t matter.”
It was hard to imagine such an immense quantity of Netherworld Flame Liquids accumulating at the roots of the Golden Tree, forming a boundless expanse.
The ancient tree towered, splitting through clouds, propping up the heavens, immeasurable in scale. At its base, crimson liquids contrasted vividly against the golden trunk, both exuding powerful vitality, their spiritual essence rolling ceaselessly.
“So heavenly again!” Shi Hao groaned in bliss, his body stretching out in utter relaxation, indulging within the crimson sea of elixir.
Ordinary individuals would already have been roasted beyond recognition, but his cultivation was formidable, his physical form nigh indestructible, capable of enduring this searing temperature.
At his chest, a vortex formed and voraciously devoured the surrounding crimson essence, creating a whirlwind of spiritual energy that stirred the Netherworld Flame Liquids into a tempest.
Crimson brilliance boiled and surged, wrapping around Shi Hao as it spiraled into the massive vortex on his chest, flowing into his body to nourish the Supreme Sovereignbone.
Eventually, it was no longer absorption, but outright plundering. Tremendous waves surged on the sea surface; endless red light converged upon this point.
Immersed and overwhelmed, Shi Hao clearly sensed his Supreme Sovereignbone blazing intensely, transforming into a miniature sun, constantly solidifying and growing.
A segment had initially regrown—gleaming and translucent, inscribed with glyphs. Yet, that was not the whole. Now, with continuous regeneration, glyph after glyph emerged, impressing onto the bone.
A tiny humanoid no larger than a fist sat cross-legged atop the bone, majestic and solemn, chanting sacred scriptures. Synchronized with the transformation, it resonated with the tide of spiritual energy, its aura intensifying.
It was a stunning metamorphosis, progressing in the most favorable direction.
At this moment, Shi Hao forgot all plans and purposes. He only wished to immerse himself further, continually transform, reaching the peak of his state.
He resembled a phoenix in flames, awaiting rebirth!
Startled awake, the Little Rascal instantly sprang from his hair, astonished at the sights around him, scarcely able to believe them.
“The greatest happiness in life is to be here! I thought I had reached heaven; in reality, even heaven pales in comparison to this paradise, a million times more beautiful than I could imagine!”
Mad with joy, the Little Rascal gazed at the Netherworld Flame Liquids rising from the lava, substances it could also consume.
At once, it screamed wildly, then dove into the crimson ocean, devouring the divine essence greedily. Its entire body radiated a glow, shifting from pale gold to vivid crimson.
Additionally, another golden bead nestled within Shi Hao’s hair trembled. A regal butterfly gracefully emerged, soaring toward the Solar Sacred Tree, attaching itself to the golden barrier, absorbing divine essence.
Unaware of it all, Shi Hao immersed himself fully, entering a wondrous realm. His spiritual sea resounded with grand chants, granting him endless enlightenment.
Later, from Shi Hao’s chest appeared a golden channel, formed from countless glyphs, connecting inward to outward, devouring spiritual essence in torrents.
At that moment, Shi Hao finally snapped to his senses, stunned at his own reaction. Never had he imagined that the regeneration of this Bone would demand such a titanic amount of divine energy.
Primarily because too much time had passed, and now he was no longer a child. Already attuned to the Battle Formation Realm, the transformation of his sacred Bone required even more divine essence.
Carefully perceiving and meditating silently, a massive surge of power rippled through his body, eventually converging upon that single bone.
He heard the flow of blood, especially in his chest, where a unique cluster of blood essence nurtured and continuously nourished the bone, fostering its growth.
“I can fully perfect this Bone here!” Shi Hao silently concluded with joy.
Rooted here, the Solar Sacred Tree and its endless reserves of Netherworld Flame Liquids were more than sufficient to support the complete regeneration of his Supreme Sovereignbone.
So it continued for three entire days and nights. Shi Hao sensed the Bone nearing full recovery—nearly flawless.
“But still, something’s lacking. While the Netherworld Flame Liquids are in enormous quantities, they aren’t True Divine Liquids, their level insufficient to complete the final transformation into ultimate perfection.”
Shi Hao whispered, then plunged downward with the Kun Peng Technique, determined to obtain an even purer essence.
The main root was immense, its stem stretching endlessly, yet he still had not reached its base. However, he discerned some golden root hairs.
“True Divine Liquid!”
Shi Hao gasped. Near the golden roots flowed some crimson liquid, radiating immortal brilliance, dazzlingly red, its aura extraordinary.
He swiftly charged over and began absorbing this substance.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t yet True Divine Liquid, but nearly so, its divine power extraordinary. It formed in small quantities, refined from the Netherworld Flame Liquid by the golden root hairs.
Though Shi Hao could not identify the substance, its effects on him were profound. He darted to other locations, continuously seeking more, each drop small but immensely potent.
Finally, with a thunderous boom, Shi Hao burst above the water’s surface, inhaled deeply, then let out a long, resonant cry. His entire body shone, his joints crackling.
Glyphs blazed intensely from his Supreme Sovereignbone, projecting outward into a divine halo that enveloped him, anchoring him in midair, radiating an immortal aura.
He was on the verge of that crucial final step. His Bone gleamed brilliantly, inscribed with countless glyphs—a Heaven-Scribed Scripture was manifesting upon it, nearing complete rebirth.
Reflecting inwardly, Shi Hao retrieved the Treasure Spell Box, shattered through the golden barrier, ascended the Solar Sacred Tree, and sat cross-legged upon a colossal branch.
The trunk was ancient and strong, entirely golden yellow, resembling a slumbering Dragon God.
All around, each massive golden leaf bore a faint star, not real yet brimming with worldly forces, destined one day to become true celestial bodies.
Shi Hao began absorbing the divine essence from all directions, now directly drawing from the Solar Sacred Tree, extracting the essence within the golden trunk, leaves, and the still-forming stars.
A golden mist enveloped him, flowing into his body.
The brilliance intensified, divine light growing stronger and brighter, surrounding him like an immortal deity seated eternally, undying, eternal.
At the final moment, Shi Hao’s heart grew clear and empty. He felt as though he had transcended himself, watching as an observer while his Bone underwent transformation.
With a thunderous roar, all glyphs surged from the Bone into the Void, pulsing endlessly, forming a divine disc that imbued Shi Hao with incomparable strength.
The chanting shook the heavens and the earth, even the Solar Sacred Tree seemed to resonate in harmony.
“Strange, could the Chaos Ancient Hall be revealing an Immortal Sutra?” Above the Golden Ancient Tree, a Venerable One murmured, sensing fluctuations of the Dao.
“What is this sound? There are chants, as if whispering in our ears, yet we cannot understand them.” The extraordinary talents from the Upper Realm were equally astonished, gazing toward the heavens and quickening their pace to investigate.
None realized this originated from below, from a youth completing the final transformation of his Supreme Sovereignbone’s rebirth.
How long passed, no one knew. Eventually, all glyphs around Shi Hao faded, dissolving into his chest, the Bone calming after its most radiant moment.
He turned inward and saw his Supreme Sovereignbone gleaming pure and fully restored, no longer incomplete.
“This scripture…” he murmured, deeply astonished. Through this final transformation, the glyphs upon the Bone had reorganized, becoming more intricate and profound than before.
He was speechless, for even the glyphs had undergone transformation, their rebirth culminating in a perfection he could momentarily not fully decipher.
“All the better that I can now study it. I am at the Battle Formation Realm and require inscribing formations within my flesh and blood. Why not choose this path?”
Previously, Shi Hao had considered adopting the Kun Peng Method, a Grass’s power, or the technique of the Lion-Beast, but now he felt better utilizing this opportunity to delve deeply into the Supreme Sovereignbone, inscribing those glyphs into his flesh and blood.
These could be changed anytime, and if found unsuitable, corrected later.
“Have I been influenced by the Willow God’s example? Hearing them speak of humans being best aligned with Heaven and Earth, the ultimate vessel of the Dao, perhaps that’s why I wish to imprint the Supreme Sovereignbone’s glyphs into every inch of my flesh and blood…” Shi Hao whispered to himself, reaching this conclusion after self-reflection.
He leapt up, relocated, and sat cross-legged upon a great golden leaf, beside a star still in formation, drawing upon its primal essence as he prepared to breakthrough.
This was not merely cultivation, but a seclusion for enlightenment. He examined the glyphs on the Supreme Sovereignbone, deeply contemplating them, continuously simulating their power, and then began engraving them within his flesh and blood.
Instantly, his body glowed with radiance, resounding with Daoist melodies. Every inch of his flesh shimmered with divine light, shining brighter than ever, as though advancing toward immortality.
He inscribed personal glyphs upon his flesh, illuminating every inch. Even his organs glowed with extraordinary brilliance, encased in immortal light.
The passage was not long, only a day and a night, yet Shi Hao achieved astonishing progress—he broke into the late stage of the Battle Formation Realm!
This realm emphasized inscribing glyphs and formations within the body to enhance combat strength, yet Shi Hao surpassed this in a single night.
Shi Hao opened his eyes. He did not wish to rush. Although there was ample divine essence here, pushing too fast might lead him to overlook essential cultivation and enlightenment.
This path must not be hastily traversed, for one must also appreciate the scenery along the way.
Additionally, he suspected the conflicts above were nearing conclusion. He needed to ascend soon; delay further, and he might completely miss the opportunity within the Chaos Ancient Hall.
As he rose, Shi Hao exuded an ethereal, refined grace, like a celestial immortal with an unearthly aura. Yet, in every motion, immense power surged within him.
