Chapter 495: Dialogue Across Time! A Three-Legged, Two-Eared Round Cauldron from the Future!

The Willow Deity's power has reached a terrifying level!

A single blade of grass can sever the sun, moon, and stars!

A single leaf embodies the sword intent of a Saint!

However, clearly, this is not the Willow Deity's true body.

Those people guessed correctly; no one who entered the Yuanshizhi Sect has ever emerged alive.

This is indeed not the Willow Deity's true body, but rather an manifestation formed from a section of the Willow Deity's torso combined with its fighting will.

Yet even so, it suppressed those giants, leaving them utterly incapable of resistance!

This is the Willow Deity!

Invincible beneath the heavens.

The Willow Deity's strength is no longer something these fellows can covet.

With matters here settled, Shi Hao finally had time to seek out Huo Ling'er!

He owed Huo Ling'er far too much; thus, he came to find her for the sole purpose of marrying her!

Just then, experts from beyond the heavens emerged from the passage!

During the Immortal Ancient Era, the world was shattered into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; together, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths constituted nineteen small worlds, with the Nine Heavens being far more prosperous than the Ten Earths.

As for the Three Thousand Daozhou, it was merely one of the Ten Earths, and crucially, it was the most declined region among them.

Great chaos was approaching, and the supreme beings planned to select the strongest batch of geniuses from the Three Thousand Daozhou to send to the Celestial Academy for advanced cultivation!

These experts from beyond the heavens had come specifically to select the talents of the Three Thousand Daozhou.

This trial involved crossing the No-Man's Land and reaching the Imperial City alive.

Among those selected was none other than the six-time champion, Ning Chuan!

Previously, Shi Hao and others had slain Ning Chuan's spiritual avatar; although this created enmity, he was ultimately still a genius of the Three Thousand Daozhou, and even as a freak from six thousand years ago, he hailed from the Three Thousand Daozhou!

Therefore, he was selected!

This Celestial Academy was quite interesting.

It housed various classics, supreme precious techniques, and notes left by longevity seekers; one could even seclude oneself in immortal caves for cultivation, study cultivation methods not belonging to this era, and perhaps even spar with descendants of True Immortals!

This was the Celestial Academy!

However, whether one could reach the Imperial City depended entirely on the abilities of the individuals involved!

Within the No-Man's Land, Shi Hao entered a purple bamboo forest; in an instant, the stars shifted and time transformed, plunging Shi Hao into the Immortal Ancient Era!

This was the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and Lord Wuzhong piercing through the myriad heavens, allowing Shi Hao to witness the Immortal Ancient across hundreds of millions of years.

Here, Shi Hao befriended the Little Qilin, the Immortal Phoenix, and others.

They spent their days discussing the Dao, conversing with great joy!

Shi Hao possessed three strands of immortal qi, and the Immortal Phoenix had also cultivated three strands of immortal qi...

Although Shi Hao's strength was formidable, at least no weaker than some of the heavenly geniuses here.

Yet, looking around, he saw the owner of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, a true lord on the verge of transforming into a true dragon, and even the sun in the sky manifesting as a genuine Jin Wu...

For a moment, Shi Hao felt his scalp go numb.

He felt exactly like a country bumpkin with limited knowledge...

This was the Immortal Ancient!

Immediately after, he witnessed these friends of his from the Immortal Ancient battling fierce enemies, falling one after another into pools of blood...

Only then did he suddenly come to his senses.

He had not truly traveled back to the Immortal Ancient; he was merely witnessing it!

He was nothing more than a passerby...

It took him a long while to regain his composure before he once again set foot on the right path!

Finally, after enduring countless hardships, he at last reached the Imperial City!

Here, Shi Hao encountered even more familiar faces!

Figures like Cao Yusheng, the secondary and primary bodies of Yue Chan, the Dragon Girl, and others were all present in this place!

Of course, it wasn't just these people; Shi Yi and Qin Hao had also arrived!

The Celestial Academy had relaxed its requirements, allowing many who previously could not enter to do so.

However, just at this moment...

A sudden mutation occurred!

As Shi Hao walked, everything around him seemed to freeze in time; space solidified, plunging him into a marvelous state!

Then, he discovered he was treading upon a black passage.

He wanted to turn back, but it was already too late.

In the blink of an eye, the stars shifted and time transformed.

He realized he had completely left that ancient battlefield and stepped into an unknown region.

"Where is this?" Shi Hao asked, somewhat bewildered, his face filled with astonishment.

Visibility around him had decreased, with black mist drifting about...

There was no vegetation among the mountains and rivers, only endless white bones!

Shi Hao frowned, subconsciously beginning to look left and right.

Then, he spotted an object...

It was a round tripod with three legs and two ears!
