Asura Emperor Venerable

"Here, this manual was specially written for you by my father." Woo Yueyi handed over a small booklet to Shi Hao, "It contains the methods my father created long ago, along with some of his speculations about the Great Dao. Look at it, then burn it immediately, and never pass it on to a second person."

Shi Hao was stunned. Damn, Hongwu Immortal King is really generous, willing to let him see even the methods he practices himself—though they were older methods, they were still invaluable.

Previously, he had felt a bit disdainful because the little herb he gave was of extremely high value, even helpful for enhancing an Immortal King's cultivation, yet in exchange, he only received an entry slot into the Fiery Elemental Cave, which seemed completely disproportionate in value.

But now, Hongwu Immortal King had given him such a treasured possession, which filled him with endless admiration.

"You won't be complaining inwardly anymore, right?" Woo Yueyi chuckled.

Shi Hao put on a serious face and said, "How could I? I've always had immense respect for the Immortal King."

Ha ha.

Woo Yueyi didn't expose him and said, "My father said, if you only want to become a strong person, you can directly cultivate my father's methods. But if you want to achieve the Immortal King, or even reach greater heights, then you should use this only as a reference."

"An Immortal King can't just be learned; it's a path you walk yourself."

Shi Hao nodded. The Purple Gold Rat had already told him this, and when he broke through to the Immortal Level, he had formed the rudimentary form of his own method, but it was far from perfect. Certainly, he would have to improve it step by step and might only fully develop it by the time he became an Immortal King.

He immediately started reading, nodding frequently.

The manual documented mostly the various problems Hongwu Immortal King had encountered in his cultivation, how he thought to resolve them, and some issues he still hadn't figured out yet.

To Shi Hao, the problems discussed were naturally too profound, but the thought processes in solving them provided valuable insights that broadened his perspective greatly.

Soon, he had finished browsing through it, then burned the small booklet in front of Woo Yueyi.

Woo Yueyi nodded and reiterated with another sentence: "Remember, you must never pass on this method to a second person!"

"Mm."

"Let's go."

The two proceeded once more, and after passing through the long cave, they arrived at an extremely large earthly grotto, vast beyond measure, where there was even a small camp not far away.

"Fairy Woo!" As Shi Hao and Woo Yueyi arrived, people in the camp immediately greeted Woo Yueyi.

The daughter of the Immortal King, her status was immensely noble.

"Fairy Woo is here!"

Hearing the commotion, more people emerged from the tents in the camp. Most of them were young men, their eyes blazing, clearly full of ambition towards Woo Yueyi.

Woo Yueyi merely smiled faintly, seemingly responding to everyone.

However, when they saw Shi Hao beside her, they all displayed unfriendly expressions.

Woo Yueyi was too noble. Who could walk shoulder to shoulder with her, even coming so close that their shoulders almost touched!

Who do you think you are, to be so unaware of your place?

"Everyone hasn't started yet?" Woo Yueyi asked.

"We wanted to wait for Fairy Woo to join us." Many people replied, hiding none of their admiration for Woo Yueyi.

There were simply too many outstanding talents here. If they didn't show courage, how could they catch the attention of such a noble woman?

Woo Yueyi merely gave a faint smile, not accepting anyone's request to accompany her, nor did she speak much with Shi Hao, as if bringing him there was the end of her duty.

She was already a Nine Stars Copper Armored Immortal and had accumulated enough, so she would break through to Silver Spirit Immortal here, then go to the second level to defeat Fire Elementals and continue to enhance her cultivation.

Clearly, Shi Hao's cultivation was still too low and he couldn't possibly accompany her, so naturally, she wouldn't extend an invitation to him.

She gracefully departed, and those talented individuals in the camp cast unfriendly glances at Shi Hao. If Woo Yueyi weren't there, they would have certainly taken action to severely teach him a lesson, making him afraid to pursue Woo Yueyi again.

Damn, who's afraid of whom?

Not only were they present in the camp, but Jade Immortals and Golden Immortals had long since set out. Those who could cultivate to such heights were generally very old and unlikely to pursue Woo Yueyi.

So, those left in the camp were mostly Bronze Armored Immortals, with a few young Silver Spirit Immortals, true geniuses all under three thousand years old.

The next morning, Woo Yueyi gracefully left the camp. Those seeking to win her over quickly followed her, even if Woo Yueyi hadn't agreed to accompany them. If they weren't thick-skinned enough, how could they possibly pursue such an exceptional woman?

Soon, the camp became eerily quiet.

"Brother Shi, you're here!" A familiar voice rang out as Mao Yuhao appeared before him.

Shi Hao smiled, "I'm here. What about you, have you caught up to Wen Nianyao yet?"

"She'll eventually become mine," Mao Yuhao confidently declared.

This guy certainly had a big mouth, not only unable to keep any secrets but also fond of bragging.

"Hey, hey, hey, this time it's really a big event!" Mao Yuhao said excitedly, "All the truly notable geniuses have come! Among the Bronze Armored Immortal level, there's Hua Feiyan from Purple Moon Ridge, Situ Wuming from Dayuan Palace, and Meng Yuanqi, all of them are here!"

"Let me tell you, Hua Feiyan is really beautiful, not inferior to Woo Yueyi at all, and her martial arts talent is absolutely not weak. My great-grandfather even said that this girl will surely become a Jade Immortal in the future!"

"To receive such a comment from my great-grandfather, that girl is definitely formidable."

"This time, she should break through to a Silver Spirit Immortal here and then explore the second level for even more incredible gains."

Shi Hao smiled and patted Mao Yuhao's shoulder, saying, "You are a Seven Stars Copper Armored Immortal as well. If you work hard, you might be able to reach Silver Spirit Immortal."

Here, everyone's cultivation had the potential for rapid progress.

Therefore, Mao Yuhao, although two small realms short, might still break through.

This wasn't some ancient relic that limited the time of staying here. In theory, as long as the Fire Elementals weren't completely eradicated, there would always be gains to be had.

The difference was, there were only Fire Elementals here, so the benefit was primarily for those cultivating the Flame Rule. Other immortals could also practice the Fire System Rules, but it would be less efficient.

Of course, one could also trade the Elemental Cores collected for Immortal Elixirs or the like. In short, this was a treasure mountain, and how much one could gain depended on individual luck.

"Let's go, let's set out too," Mao Yuhao invited Shi Hao.

Shi Hao didn't mind and walked alongside him.

Mao Yuhao's Path Protector dutifully followed a little farther behind, ready to act the moment Mao Yuhao encountered any danger.
