Chapter 1149: Lacking Ambition
Shi Hao shook his head: "Always being under someone else's protection, you'll never grow into a true powerhouse."
Look at Wen Nianyao, Chi Murong, and others, although they are all disciples of the Jade Immortal, none of them have a Path Protector following them, because many breakthroughs and insights happen on the edge of life and death.
Especially the Nine Deaths Heavenly Art, without experiencing life and death, it cannot be cultivated at all.
Mao Yuhao, with an expression of course, said: "Brother Shi, you are a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man! Your talent is extraordinary, and there's hope for you to become an Immortal King in the future, so naturally, you need to temper yourself."
"But I am different."
"I have self-awareness, even if I risk my life in cultivation, at most, I will become a Golden Immortal in the future."
"A Golden Immortal can live for a hundred thousand years, and my great-grandfather can also live for another hundred thousand years, so what if I achieve the Golden Immortal status, it does not help the family much."
"Therefore, I'd rather enjoy life steadily, find an excellent woman, strive to have more descendants, maybe raise a Jade Immortal, this is the right path."
"Furthermore, if you achieve the Immortal King status in the future, and I cling to your coattails, with our brotherhood and camaraderie, even if I die of old age, you should look after my descendants a bit, the family can be protected as well!"
"Therefore, clinging to coattails and striving to have excellent descendants is my life pursuit."
Listening to his lengthy argument, even though Shi Hao knew early on that his aspirations were low and shameless, he was still shocked.
So, one can indeed have such thick skin!
"I admire you, admire you!" Shi Hao clasped his fists.
"Where, where!" Mao Yuhao modestly said.
The Path Protector behind was so ashamed that they didn't want to follow anymore, are you really a descendant of a Jade Immortal?
How can you be so devoid of ambition!
Quickly, they saw the Fire Element.
Shi Hao wasn't unfamiliar with Fire Element. When he was in the Mortal Realm, he fought various elementals for quite a long time, eventually settling an elemental invasion that nearly destroyed Yunding Star due to Master Qian Ji's interference.
However, the Fire Element here is clearly different.
They have layers of halos on them, densely packed with various symbols, making each one appear like a chubby person.
Currently, these Fire Elements are all in a dormant state.
Until their king is born, they will remain in this state. Then, at the command of the Element God King, they will pour out and destroy heaven and earth.
"So many, can you manage it?" Mao Yuhao asked Shi Hao.
Thickly packed with Fire Elements, if even one gets awakened, it will trigger a chain reaction, causing at least hundreds to rush out together, and if the scale of battle increases, scenes of thousands bursting forth could occur.
At that time, even with the protection of a Silver Spirit Immortal nearby, can safety be ensured?
"I'll give it a try." Shi Hao smiled.
Goodness, how can this be tried, if an uncontrollable situation arises, there could be fatalities.
Mao Yuhao quickly retreated a few steps, laughed dryly, "Brother Shi, I won't add to your troubles, you handle it yourself."
Madman, indeed, all geniuses are madmen.
He prefers clinging to coattails, but if it means risking his life with Shi Hao, then forget it.
That Path Protector also felt relieved, he could easily kill a Copper Armored Immortal, but wasn't afraid of being besieged by Copper Armored Immortals, however, if hundreds or thousands encircle him and he tries to ensure Mao Yuhao's safety, it would not be easy.
When the two walked away, Shi Hao moved forward, entering the heap of Fire Elements.
Instantly, it was like a spark thrown into oil, causing a burst.
Fire Elements around woke at the same time, unanimously locking onto Shi Hao.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
They all attacked Shi Hao, opening their mouths to shoot clusters of Blazing Flame Bullets at him, each packed with Immortal Level rules, several hundred launching together—truly terrifying.
Shi Hao slightly smiled, opened his Little Star Universe, an astonishing scene unfolded, all incoming fireballs stagnated simultaneously, then all vanished.
Others fear group attacks, but Shi Hao is not afraid at all, as long as the power is not beyond his limit, a hundred enemies and one enemy make little difference.
"Come!" Shi Hao opened one Black Hole after another, swallowing the nearby Fire Elements.
Back in the Mortal Realm, he did the same, though then his power was weak, only able to swallow weak Elemental Creatures, now at Immortal Level, swallowing Copper Armored Immortal-grade Elemental Creatures is effortless.
Essentially, Elemental Creatures are rules and energy, so being swallowed by the Black Hole, they can be easily digested, with the Black Hole absorbing ninety percent of the energy to accelerate Little Star Universe's growth, while the remainder strengthens Shi Hao's cultivation.
In one move, a large gap appeared among the Fire Elements.
With so much energy and rules pouring into his body, Shi Hao felt his whole skeleton rapidly refining.
The sixth stage of the Copper Armored Immortal, Bone Refining!
Shi Hao grinned; earlier, he used the Energy Fluid from the Summit of the Stars' fall to complete Bronze Immortal Gold Transformation of muscles and blood, helping him rapidly leap past four-star and five-star levels into six-star.
But at this stage, he must slowly begin refining his physique, yet unexpectedly, opportunity arrived at his door.
Moreover, though he boasted about mastering all Bronze Immortal rules, he knew it wasn't achievable through normal means.
Why then does he have such confidence?
Because he has his own world.
As long as his world absorbs it, even if he hasn't mastered it temporarily, he can slowly cultivate it, as the Little Star Universe is part of him and won't be unable to revisit comprehending even at higher realms.
Thus, his task is simple: using Little Star Universe to collect all Bronze Immortal Laws, as long as he lives long enough, he will thoroughly understand these rules.
However, all relies on Little Star Universe, meaning if he dies, it's all ruined.
Unlike others who can live a second life to continue cultivation, Shi Hao, living a second life, may not surely reform Little Star Universe, even if he can, he must start anew.
Therefore, Shi Hao only has this lifetime opportunity.
No choice; his path, due to Little Star Universe alone, affords immense advantage yet naturally holds corresponding weaknesses.
To Shi Hao, this Elemental Cave arrived most timely, aiding his rapid physique refining while accumulating Fire System rules, a function unimaginably great.
Woo Yueyi thought gifting Shi Hao Immortal King laws and cultivation insights helped him most, but in truth, this is the most precious gift.
Otherwise, Shi Hao would need a massive amount of Immortal Stones to fill Little Star Universe to perfect its rules, requiring a staggering number of Immortal Stones that even an Immortal King might not supply.
