Asura Emperor Venerable

Faced with Shi Hao's extreme shamelessness, Woo Yueyi was momentarily stunned before she recovered and said, "My father has decided to grant you a spot."

A spot?

Shi Hao believed that an Immortal King wouldn't be stingy, so this spot must be extremely valuable.

"What kind of spot?" he asked curiously.

Woo Yueyi gave a faint smile, "My father will hold a Dao conference in a few days, and by that time, you'll be given a spot to listen to the discourse of my father."

This, this is way too unfair!

Your dignity as an Immortal King, how can you justify ripping me off like this?

Shi Hao gritted his teeth, feeling completely stifled.

Seeing his expression, Woo Yueyi couldn't help but smile sweetly, resembling the blooming of a hundred flowers, extremely enchanting.

You cheeky little lady, and you still laugh—do you believe I'll give you a kiss?

Woo Yueyi sighed softly, "Just kidding, how could my father be so stingy?"

"Ha ha, ha ha ha!" Shi Hao laughed loudly, "I knew it, haha, did you think you fooled me?"

Did I not?

Whose face turned green just now?

Woo Yueyi didn't expose him, merely smiled faintly without saying a word.

Shi Hao couldn't hold it in and asked, "What exactly is the Immortal King offering me as a reward?"

"A spot!" Woo Yueyi looked at him, the corners of her mouth carrying a hint of amusement.

"Haha, stop joking." Shi Hao said.

"Who's joking with you?" Woo Yueyi straightened up, "It really is a spot."

Eh, didn't you just say it was a joke, why are you saying this again?

Is it true what they say, that a woman's words can't be trusted?

Shi Hao sighed, "You're having a lot of fun today!"

Woo Yueyi giggled, then said, "It is true that I'm giving you a spot, but it's not for my father's discourse, it's a spot for entering the Fiery Elemental Cave."

"What kind of place is that?" Shi Hao asked.

Woo Yueyi pondered for a moment before saying, "What's the foundation of an Immortal's cultivation?"

"Strength and rules." Shi Hao immediately replied.

Woo Yueyi nodded, "By gathering the free-floating energy of the world and refining oneself, one can enhance strength, whereas rules are certain tools formed by the world, a bridge to explore the great Dao."

"And in this world, there are beings that are naturally endowed, they don't need to comprehend rules, because they themselves are formed by rules."

Shi Hao's heart skipped a beat, "Elemental Creatures!"

"Correct." Woo Yueyi nodded, "In a sense, Elemental Creatures and Immortal Stones are quite similar, formed by the condensation of various rules and having gained life after countless years."

"The difference is, since they're called creatures, naturally they differ from the cold Immortal Stone. Refining the core of an Elemental Creature can simultaneously enhance both strength and rules."

Shi Hao thought of a question and immediately pointed out, "However, Elemental Creatures also have a flaw, which is the singularity of their rules. That Fiery Elemental Cave you mentioned, it's probably filled with Fire Elements, right?"

"Correct." Woo Yueyi nodded.

"Then refining the Core of Fire Element should only enhance the understanding of Fire System Rules." Shi Hao said.

Woo Yueyi laughed, "There are countless rules, and just the rules of the Fire Attribute can be subdivided into hundreds of branches, enough for you to comprehend for a lifetime. Do you want to master all the rules?"

Shi Hao, with a serious face, nodded, "Of course!"

Climbing the Immortal Path has been likened to peeling an onion; the outer layers are the lowest level rules, and the deeper you go, the higher the level of rules until, at the core, lies the great Dao.

According to Shi Hao's understanding, to ensure the onion is fully peeled, each layer must be removed, so one is bound to reach the core.

Why hasn't there been an Immortal Venerable known to have mastered the great Dao until now?

Shi Hao thought that these Immortal Venerables never mastered all the underlying rules from the start, and if they want to go back now, it is immensely difficult.

Eh, could Ding Old Man's nine lifetimes of retraining be related to this?

But during that time, he was in the Mortal Realm, able to access Immortal Level rules?

However, if it were only Mortal Level rules, would he need nine lifetimes to master them?

Shi Hao firmly believed in Ding Old Man's talent, so at most in two lifetimes, he could certainly master all Mortal Level rules since, firstly, they are relatively easier to grasp, and secondly, they aren't numerous.

Starting from Immortal Level rules, this is where it truly becomes vast.

By the way, the Nine Character Battle Method is clearly an Immortal Technique, which Ding Old Man could only have created if he became Immortal. How else?

It is possible, of course, that after nine lifetimes, he returned from the Immortal Realm to the Mortal Realm to reorganize. But it's even more likely that Ding Old Man was always Immortal in those nine lifetimes and ultimately chose to start anew in the Mortal Realm.

Faced with Shi Hao's justifiable response, Woo Yueyi didn't know how to reply.

Such an astounding ambition!

Completely mastering rules sounds simple, but the actual difficulty of doing so is beyond comprehension.

If it weren't so, then with so many geniuses around the world, would Shi Hao be the only one to think of it?

No.

Everyone knows that rules are the foundation of being an Immortal; the more rules you master, the stronger the combat power at the same realm.

However, first off, rules are inherently hard to master, and secondly, the more fundamental the rules, the more numerous they are, because cultivation is a process from complexity to simplicity, ultimately pointing directly to the core and essence, thus the number of Bronze Law is dauntingly vast.

The key is, Copper Armored Immortals have limited lifespans, only a mere ten thousand years. How could they master all the Bronze Immortal Laws in such a short time?

Therefore, even those supreme geniuses who reach Immortal Venerable status haven't mastered all the Bronze Immortal Laws.

If even the first step isn't completed, then naturally there's no point in discussing the second or third step.

It's an impossible task!

"Shi Hao, you indeed have remarkable talent and your comprehension ability ranks among the highest of those I've seen. Even if we include those most outstanding children and disciples of Immortal Kings, you'd still rank in the top three." Woo Yueyi first complimented Shi Hao, naturally leading to a twist.

"Every Immortal King is the most outstanding genius of their era, and Immortal Venerables even more so, with countless generations passing before one emerges."

"All of them have grand ambitions; they all know that the more rules they grasp, the closer they can get to the great Dao."

"However, none of them have succeeded."

Shi Hao nodded, "I understand what you mean, so many Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings haven't succeeded. What basis do I have, right?" He smiled brightly, radiating with sunshine, "But you can't conclude that the path is not viable just because others haven't succeeded."

"I'll be the first to succeed!"

Gazing at his handsome smile, the confidence and vigor, Woo Yueyi couldn't help being moved, eliciting an almost absurd belief in herself.

——Shi Hao, might really succeed!
