Chapter 1164: The Heart of a Powerhouse

After seeing Wang Jianqiang kill someone, the Elder in charge of discipline not only failed to hold him accountable, but instead took the initiative to help him after the killing.

This space had already become deathly silent.

In everyone's hearts, the rules of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace were extremely strict and inviolable.

But now...

This ironclad rule seemed to have been broken.

Looking at it this way...

If Wang Jianqiang wanted to.

He could completely kill any one of them, and would not receive any punishment.

Thinking of this, the gazes everyone cast toward Wang Jianqiang couldn't help but contain a few more traces of awe.

Zhou Guan also thought of this point.

If Wang Jianqiang had selfish motives, he could have completely killed them the moment he appeared.

Ending this farce at the fastest speed.

But Wang Jianqiang did not.

Instead, he chose a more time-consuming and laborious method.

Patiently reasoning with them, distinguishing right from wrong.

As expected of Senior Wang!

Truly selfless!

At this moment.

The reverence for Wang Jianqiang in their hearts grew even more intense.

Not bullying the weak, sticking to principles, distinguishing right from wrong...

This is the true powerhouse, the true heaven-defying talent!

Just as everyone's gazes, whether of awe or worship, were all focused on Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang had already calmly looked toward an empty space.

Hum~

At the same time, the space in that empty area fluctuated.

A figure manifested.

"Junior Shi Hao, greets Senior Wang."

The person who arrived was heroic and extraordinary, with a faint smile on his handsome face.

After appearing, he bowed to Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the somewhat familiar face of the person who arrived, and his heart stirred.

This person seemed to be called Shi Hao.

The last time he returned to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, it seemed to be him who had a conflict with Feng Yichen.

At that time, this youth had left a fairly good impression on him.

A thought flashed through Wang Jianqiang's mind, and he immediately came back to his senses, smiling and nodding, "Junior Shi, no need for formalities."

Hearing this, Shi Hao straightened up.

Wang Jianqiang looked Shi Hao over for a moment, a flash of surprise appearing in his eyes.

This Shi Hao's cultivation had actually reached the Tenth-Order Will Stage!

Surpassing the limit by his own power alone, reaching the Tenth-Order Will Stage.

This Shi Hao's talent was truly astonishing!

Just at this moment.

Wang Jianqiang seemed to have discovered something, gave a light exclamation, and smiled, "Junior Shi's method of creating a clone has some merit, it is actually so exquisite."

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Shi Hao's face.

He did not expect that his clone would be seen through by Wang Jianqiang.

The clone technique he practiced was called the Great Freedom Wonderful Method, which he had obtained by chance.

This method could manifest an avatar.

The avatar not only possessed strength not inferior to the original body, but could even practice independently and feed the cultivation results back to the original body.

It was extremely miraculous.

Moreover, this avatar had almost no flaws and was very difficult for others to see through.

Although he was only a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he had once used this method to deceive the investigation of a Void Refinement Stage cultivator.

Wang Jianqiang was only a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, yet he had actually seen through his avatar.

One had to say...

As expected of the legendary Monster talent of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, he truly could not be viewed by conventional logic.

The surprise in his heart flashed and vanished, and he immediately cupped his hands toward Wang Jianqiang, "Senior, please forgive me; my original body is currently in seclusion attempting to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage and cannot come out to pay respects to you."

"I hope Senior does not take offense."

"It is fine." Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand.

A Jade Bottle appeared in front of Shi Hao, "This Jade Bottle contains some Pills that can assist in overcoming the Transformation God Tribulation; since you are currently attempting to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, take them."

Shi Hao's expression stirred, and his Spirit Sense surged into the Jade Bottle.

Immediately, he revealed a look of shock.

Over these years, he had obtained quite a few opportunities.

He had obtained some Pills to assist in the Transformation God Tribulation, but compared to the ones gifted by Wang Jianqiang, they were far inferior in both medicinal potency and purity!

A Heavenly Tribulation is often directly proportional to the strength of the Cultivator.

Although he was confident in his own formidable strength, he did not have absolute certainty of surviving the Transformation God Tribulation.

With these Pills, his success rate in the Tribulation would surely be much higher.

Thinking of this.

He did not decline, bowing to Wang Jianqiang, "Many thanks, Senior Wang."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "I have other matters to attend to, so I will not chat further with you, Junior. Farewell."

Having said this, he waved to Xuan Ji, Mu Lingxi, the little chicken, and Huanxin, who were waiting not far away, and slowly walked into the distance with the four women.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang leave, Feng Yichen subconsciously looked at Shi Hao.

A flash of wariness crossed his face.

He hurriedly turned and chased after Wang Jianqiang, "Uncle-in-law, wait for me~"

Shi Hao watched Wang Jianqiang leave, never once looking at Feng Yichen from beginning to end.

He had come here this time originally to protect Feng Yichen.

Zhou Guan was his brother.

He understood Zhou Guan's strength and personality very well.

He was worried that Zhou Guan might do something irreparable in a moment of impulse.

Of course, he was not doing this for Feng Yichen.

Although Feng Yichen was not much, he was, after all, Wang Jianqiang's nephew.

As the saying goes, to beat a dog, one must consider its master.

He was worried that if Zhou Guan did something to Feng Yichen, it would displease Wang Jianqiang.

Whether for the safety of his own brother or to cater to the mood of his idol, he could not let any accident happen to Feng Yichen.

A moment later.

Not until Wang Jianqiang's back had completely disappeared from view did Shi Hao withdraw his gaze and put away the Jade Bottle in front of him.

Zhou Guan walked to Shi Hao's side, looked in the direction where Wang Jianqiang and the others had left, and said with a face full of envy, "Free and easy, transcendent, powerful yet not bullying the weak..."

"He is worthy of being the Senior Wang admired by ten thousand people."

Having said this, his voice paused as he looked at Shi Hao, "We once vowed to catch up to this legendary Monster, but now it seems I fear I will never be able to achieve it."

"It all depends on you, Brother Hao."

"Me?"

Shi Hao shook his head with a bitter smile upon hearing this, "I am afraid I don't have much of a chance either."

Zhou Guan was startled, "Impossible, right?"

He found it somewhat unbelievable.

Wang Jianqiang was indeed very formidable.

All the various rumors about him were grand and astonishing.

But Shi Hao was no pushover either.

Not only was his natural talent astonishingly high, but his fortuitous encounters were also incomparably abundant.

Over these years, he had witnessed Shi Hao's growth with his own eyes, as well as the various incredible feats the other had accomplished.

In his view, compared to Wang Jianqiang, Shi Hao only lacked the opportunity to become famous, not the ability.

Moreover, Shi Hao had always been full of confidence and never willing to lag behind others.

Even when mentioning Great Vehicle Stage powerhouses, he had only shown respect, never revealing the slightest bit of fear or awe.

Because in Shi Hao's view, he would reach this realm sooner or later.

But now...

This was the first time he had heard such disheartened words from Shi Hao, clearly admitting he was inferior to another.

Shi Hao smiled and shook his head, "Senior Wang is far more outstanding than you or I imagined. Wanting to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?"

"I fear this will be our goal for a lifetime."

Although Shi Hao was admitting he was inferior, there was not the slightest bit of dejection in his tone; his face was full of fighting spirit.

"Being able to have a forerunner is a good thing."

"Only in this way can we have a clear goal that we can pursue."

"Only then can it urge us to keep moving forward."

"In the future, we may never be able to catch up to Senior Wang, but we can constantly surpass ourselves and climb higher!"
