Chapter 260

This is something countless celestial gods would kill to obtain, yet you say it's to be used to feed pigs?

Countless people have fought life-and-death battles for it, yet in your hands, it becomes worthless?

He began to harbor some doubts...

At this moment, the old man cleared his throat lightly twice: "We've strayed too far... You only need to know that our sect once possessed the number one spiritual root in the Upper Realm, and that is enough!"

The number one spiritual root in the Upper Realm?

Shi Hao was astonished, feeling only that things were becoming increasingly fantastical.

"It's probably lost by now, isn't it?"

"Sooner or later, we must retrieve it!"

"Then let's... discuss the Tribulation Crossing Divine Lotus instead."

"Are you so eager to go somewhere and bathe with a few young girls? Look at how little ambition you have!"

"A fair and gentle lady is a gentleman's ideal match!"

"I am having second thoughts; considering my lifetime of sterling reputation, if I end up teaching a flower thief, wouldn't that utterly ruin my prestige?"

"Senior, rest assured, one day I will surely bring great glory to our sect!"

At this moment, the old man and the youth exchanged words.

Finally, they arrived before that magnificent Shanmen.

The door panels were wreathed in Jin Guang, making the old man appear even more extraordinary.

"The Tribulation Crossing Divine Lotus is also quite good; rest assured, when the time comes, you may frequently enter and exit that Immortal Pool!" the old man said lightly, finally addressing the main topic.

"Very well, since Senior says so, I shall obey!" Shi Hao replied, stepping across those door panels together with him!

"Then swear your oath right here!" the elder spoke solemnly.

Swear an oath?

Shi Hao secretly grumbled, what binding force could this possibly have?

"Swear the oath with me, come!"

The old man spoke, and a prayer text, not very long but absolutely severe, was recited to completion!

Then, the old man had Shi Hao drip a drop of essence blood onto that text!

Immediately, the oath text was ignited and vanished without a trace.

"What is this for?" Shi Hao asked, puzzled.

At this moment, the old man said lightly: "This is a curse text; once you betray the sect, you will suffer heavenly punishment, fall eternally into the Land of Tribulation, and die after suffering layer upon layer of hardships!"

"Hiss, must it be so vicious?" Shi Hao gasped in shock, feeling he had boarded a pirate ship.

This old rascal actually used a curse to bind him?

"What? Do you want to betray the sect?"

The old man glanced sideways at Shi Hao and reminded him with a smile: "This curse is very powerful, you know..."

Shi Hao stared blankly at the old man...

This old rascal didn't seem as ethereal and noble as he appeared?

He was speechless.

After a long while, he finally said gloomily: "May I ask how Senior should be addressed?"

"Qi Daolin!"

The old man smiled and asked: "Have you heard this name before?"

Shi Hao felt somewhat awkward; he had only just arrived, how long could it have been? Yet, going against his conscience, he said: "I have long admired Senior's great name; it strikes my ears like thunder!"

"Is that so?" Qi Daolin asked in surprise.

Clearly, just by looking at Shi Hao's reaction, one could tell that Shi Hao obviously had never heard his name before.

Qi Daolin smiled, then took Shi Hao to tour the Dao grounds.

Then, Shi Hao was amazed...

These Dao grounds were simply boundless and vast; in an instant, they seemed to span tens of thousands of miles, incredibly huge beyond imagination.

He even saw a city within them, inhabited by living beings.

This hardly resembled Dao grounds; it was more like a small world.

Shi Hao's suspicions grew even stronger...

Was this really the Dao grounds?

Or had this old man led him out into the outside world?

He was extremely suspicious...

"I already said that the size of our Dao grounds depends on the breadth of one's heart; haven't you grasped my meaning yet?" Qi Daolin smiled and said unhurriedly.

Shi Hao's mind was full of question marks, then he suddenly said: "Could it be that the Dao grounds consist of nothing but a single gate?"

"Correct."

Qi Daolin nodded: "Once you enter the gate, what you face is the entire world; this is our Dao grounds! If we were like other sects, marking off a prison for ourselves, how could we be worthy of our lineage? Do not forget its name—Supreme Dao Grounds! If we have the ability, the three thousand provinces of the Upper Realm are all our backyard!"

At this moment, Qi Daolin exuded domineering authority!

Shi Hao was dumbfounded.

This damn thing actually works?

Then, Shi Hao learned Qi Daolin's true identity.

Only now did he realize that he had been completely duped!

Qi Daolin!

The Dao Master of the Supreme Dao Grounds!

In truth, it was the Supreme Hall, extinguished by the Immortal Palace and several other great sects like Jigeda Sect.

Only after the Supreme Hall's destruction did Qi Daolin go steal techniques from a hundred schools, becoming notorious!

However, this Qi Daolin truly possessed cultivation; he transmitted the Eight-Nine Heavenly Art to Shi Hao.

The Eight-Nine Heavenly Art is the method to control divine abilities, an invincible Dao, standing above supernatural powers, higher than divine abilities, higher than all methods!

For the next period of time, Shi Hao cultivated right here!

Every day, he carried Dashan to cultivate!

Shortly after, Qi Daolin gave Shi Hao a black token, allowing him to enter the Immortal Pool of the Celestial Academy.

Afterwards, Shi Hao began to completely refine the Golden Bodhi Fruit.

But this thing was damn hard to refine; one bite nearly shook him so hard his scalp went numb...

Had it not been for Yue Chan's secondary body stepping in to help from the Shenchushou Gang, he might not have been able to refine it!

To repay Yue Chan, Shi Hao offered to help her subdue the Green Moon Flame!

Finally, after subduing that Green Moon Flame, Yue Chan at last entered the Divine Fire Realm!

Immediately after, Shi Hao returned to the Supreme Dao Grounds and, following Qi Daolin's instructions, continued carrying mountains to cultivate.

The Supreme Dao Grounds were notorious.

Now that Shi Hao was the successor of the Supreme Dao Grounds, he naturally provoked countless people to besiege him!

And Shi Hao was truly powerful.

He refused no challengers, beating them all flat!

Especially the Celestial Race...

Damn it, they had a grudge from back then, and now the perfect opportunity for revenge had arrived.

He directly beat these fellows until their bones snapped and tendons broke.

He even stole the Celestial Race's immortal metal!

At this moment, as the scenes within the Great Dao Golden List manifested...

Within the Perfect Plane, countless people gnashed their teeth in sheer hatred.

Especially the Celestial Race and the Celestial Academy!

This Shi Hao was simply a scoundrel!

Upon seeing Shi Hao steal the immortal metal, the Celestial Race's eyes instantly turned red.

If Shi Hao weren't currently in the Lower World as Hao in the Lower World, they would wish to break through the Lower World and forcibly execute him!

However, they also breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they could see these future scenes now, there would surely be a way to deal with Shi Hao...

Meanwhile, in the Perfect Plane, within the Lower World, inside the Shi Kingdom's imperial palace...
