Chapter 1144: Clearing the Field
Shi Hao stood up, then pinched his nose and started drinking.
Others can only absorb the pool water through their bodies, refining it for their own use. If drunk directly, the terrifying energy and rules would immediately burst the body.
However, Shi Hao was different.
He had the Stone Mill, which allowed him to drink directly — though he did find it a bit dirty, but since it was his own soak, he could barely accept it. After all, it was for his own strength.
I drink, drink, drink.
Shi Hao gulped down the water, without any fear of indigestion, as the Stone Mill was there.
Vast amounts of energy and rules were purified, enhancing the strength of his physical body.
After just one day, Shi Hao had completely achieved Immortal Gold Transformation in his muscles.
Theoretically, he had reached Peak of four stars, but his mastery of rules hadn't reached the Peak of four stars, so he couldn't breakthrough to five stars. However, the massive energy and rules refined by the Stone Mill continued to enhance his physical body.
Another two days passed, and his blood transformed into a complete bronze color, akin to liquid metal.
Blood like green mercury, this was five stars.
However, by this time, Shi Hao had also drunk all the pool water.
He sat aside, and after a short while, he felt a blur before his eyes and had left the place.
He was instantly transported to the edge of the arena.
So, theoretically, he could only absorb three days' worth of water energy, enhancing his physique. How much could it improve? It was absolutely impossible to complete the Immortal Gold Transformation of his muscles, but now, he directly drank up the pool water, not only completing the tempering of his muscles, but even refining his blood.
This was a huge gain.
"Hey, Rat, such a good opportunity, why didn't you show up earlier?" Shi Hao asked.
"Such tempering doesn't do much for me, so I didn't bother to compete with you." The Purple Gold Rat waved a paw, looking indifferent.
Rarely, this guy wasn't greedy, naturally because its physique was already beyond what the pool water could enhance.
So, when would this guy ever change its ways?
Shi Hao chuckled and continued to walk forward.
After a short walk, there appeared a magnificent palace ahead.
It was truly spectacular; no words could describe it. Moreover, this palace had already been destroyed, leaving only a third, yet it still imposed an inexplicable pressure on one's mind.
The Immortal King's Palace?
Did a great battle happen here, otherwise how could the Immortal King's Palace be so severely damaged?
But what kind of existence is the Immortal King, the supreme ruler of a realm!
The battle that occurred caused great damage to the architectural complex here, even bringing the Summit of the Stars to fall. Was it, back then, two Immortal Kings fighting?
However, if two Immortal Kings fought, there would certainly be records left, but now there is no such information at all.
Extremely strange.
Shi Hao wanted to go to the Immortal King's Palace to take a look, but at this moment, countless powerful auras appeared.
"Everyone, leave this place immediately, or be killed without mercy!" A voice rang out, instantly reaching everyone's ears, completely ignoring distance.
This was a Jade Immortal!
After so many days, the Jade Immortals were also alerted and intended to jointly seal this place.
They were the strongest in this realm, with the absence of the Immortal King, everything was decided by them.
Shi Hao contemplated. He had already gained enough from this trip, earning a piece of Immortal King Gold along with elevating his physique to the Peak of five stars. As long as his mastery of rules kept up, he could instantly break through the barriers of five stars and six stars.
So, leaving was fine, anyway the only thing left of value here might be the Immortal King's technique. Whether it was there or not, after so much time, it might have already been acquired by someone.
Forget it, retreat.
Shi Hao walked quickly, heading toward the Black Tower.
The path was crowded with people, everyone silent, entering the Black Tower and then ascending.
Upon exiting the Black Tower, everyone immediately felt a strong pressure.
At the breach stood an old man in gray clothing, radiating a terrifying aura, making it hard for people to breathe.
A Jade Immortal!
"Wait!" Just as everyone was about to leave, they were stopped by a young man beside the old man in gray.
"Grandfather, these people might have some gains, how about making them hand everything over!" The young man bowed to the old man in gray and said.
Hearing this, everyone wanted to rush up and slaughter this young man.
They had painstakingly dug up some Immortal Stones or other gains, and you casually suggested they hand them over?
Moreover, this was the territory of Mirror Lake Country, and only Jia Baiji had the right to ask them to leave their possessions.
You are just outsiders, on what grounds do you usurp the host's role?
The old man in gray pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, since we said to let them leave, then let it be so."
The young man seemed somewhat unwilling, though this group was unlikely to have big gains, little accumulations could not be underestimated.
Grandfather was too concerned with appearances. If they forcibly made people leave their possessions, what then? Would anyone dare to challenge the Jade Immortals?
Everyone quickly left, considering the Summit of the Stars had fallen, even a tiny gain was astonishing.
Shi Hao also glanced at the young man, truly a black-hearted person.
Coincidentally, the young man caught Shi Hao's gaze and looked back at him.
He was already displeased, and a chance for a small fortune was gone, yet Shi Hao dared to look at him?
Are you mocking me?
"You, stop!" The young man extended a hand, pointing at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao frowned, "What is it?"
"I'm short of a person to do my bidding by my side. You'll temporarily follow my orders," the young man commanded, not caring about Shi Hao's feelings.
Is it necessary?
His grandfather was a Jade Immortal, in this Immortal Realm, the only people he couldn't afford to offend were those on the Summit of the Stars.
The old man in gray pretended not to see, would it be worth his while to speak on such a small matter?
Shi Hao smiled slightly, "Chase me, if you can catch up, we can talk further!"
Woosh, he started running immediately, though he controlled his speed, not showing any exaggeration.
The young man sneered, immediately chasing after Shi Hao.
Dare to resist?
The two quickly left one after another, and the old man in gray pondered, "Jian Zhong, follow and take a look."
"Yes." A middle-aged man immediately nodded respectfully.
He was a Silver Spirit Immortal; with him secretly following, naturally, his grandson was in no danger.
The young man pursued with all his strength, yet the gap between him and Shi Hao remained, unable to close the distance.
Arrogant as he was, he felt Shi Hao was provoking him, which he could not tolerate.
He must catch up with Shi Hao, tearing him apart inch by inch.
Behind him, the Silver Spirit Immortal followed unhurriedly, everything under his control.
