Perfect World
chapter-1688

- Encounter

On this great land, there was a true immortal who was laying dormant, not appearing in Desolate Border’s great battle. This really made others sigh, what could they even say?

At the very least, Shi Hao knew that there was one that was living in Immortal Palace, this had already been confirmed.

Shi Hao was momentarily absent-minded, but then he raised his head. His return to the three thousand provinces was most likely not a secret, many people likely already learning of it.

He was careful, not becoming careless because of his current cultivation level.

He was going to leave soon, so he didn’t want anything unexpected to happen.

When he was in the Nine Heavens, everything was quite peaceful, not many incidents happening. Even Jin Family who was at odds with him played their part, not looking for trouble.

This was naturally related to Jin Taijun being in critical condition, recovering in seclusion right now. What was more important was that Shi Hao’s reputation became too great after the Desolate Border battle, establishing glorious contributions. Right now, even if it was supreme beings, they wouldn’t defy the universal will of the people.

“The existence of a living immortal really makes it hard for one to feel at ease.” Shi Hao sighed. He came to the three thousand provinces, but had to be on guard.

“Big brother, where are we going?” A four or five-year-old child asked, face round and rosy like a big apple.

These children were all extremely close to him, but the way they addressed him were all different. Some of them liked to call him uncle, while some called him big brother.

These children’s foundation and talents were all great, all of them the most precious cultivation seeds. Shi Hao took care of them well, hoping that they could grow up to become heaven reaching great trees.

“I am going to visit some people, bring them back home.” Shi Hao said.

When he ascertained where he was, he discovered that this place wasn’t that far from Demon Province, thus immediately deciding to hurry over, looking for his own grandfather Shi Zhongtian.

His grandfather, Grandpa Fifteen, was known by the people as the Great Demonic God. He should be in Demon Province, remaining in the fiery mountains.

Shi Hao’s heart was set on returning home, so he really wanted to immediately see his grandfather. A single parting and many years passed, was he still doing well?

He and his grandfather didn’t spend much time together, but he could feel his grandfather’s love towards him, previously risking it all for his life.

Regardless of whether it was the great battle in the lower realms’ Stone Country or the confrontation against Immortal Mountain in the higher realm, all of it left Shi Hao extremely moved.

When he was young, for the sake of getting some Pixiu true blood, Grandpa Fifteen lost an arm, one could see just how much this person cared for him.

This green-colored warship flew through the sky, speed extremely great. It moved through the clouds and mist, not needing to use any altars at all, directly rushing forward.

Under the clouds and mist, on the ground, great rivers extended, great mountains towered, the scenery extremely grand.

They entered Demon Province, arriving in this land.

Demon Province, the reason it had this name was because there was an inheritance that occupied this ancient land -- Black Orchid Mountain, many black sunflowers growing here. That place was known as Demonic Sunflower Garden, powerful plant type cultivators residing there.

Apart from this, this province had always been in turmoil from past until now, a place ravaged by war, demons roaming this place year-round.

The green-gold warship slowed down. Shi Hao found it hard to calm down. Was his grandfather still here, or did he leave to journey the word? Would he return?

This was a plateau that stretched out for hundreds of thousands of li, extremely dried up and withered, lacking life.

Soon afterwards, the ship entered an expanse of volcanoes. Shi Hao leapt out, directly diving down. However, this place was extremely quiet, not sensing the Great Demonic God’s aura.

There were some volcanoes that were surging with magma, smoke everywhere, extremely terrifying. It was like a scene from hell.

There were some volcanoes that had long exploded, drying up, now no longer having any activity.

“Grandpa!” Shi Hao called out softly, but his voice could ring through a hundred thousand li, clearly transmitted to every corner.

However, no one replied, no Great Demonic God Grandpa Fifteen in sight.

Shi Hao didn’t move, feeling extremely dejected. He wanted to immediately meet with his grandfather, but in the end, he couldn’t. He clearly left for many years, because there were no signs of inhabitation here.

“Roaming the world.”

Shi Hao found these three words. They were extremely simple, written for him, left behind by Grandpa Fifteen.

There should still be other words, only, the volcanoes’ eruption corroded the magma walls.

Grandpa Fifteen wasn’t in danger, leaving calmly, just traveling about. Shi Hao could sense this type of emotion from those three words, this making him release a breath of relief.

After a light sigh, Shi Hao felt a bit disappointed and frustrated. He returned to the green-gold warship.

“Uncle, you didn’t find grandpa?” A little girl asked. They already knew what Shi Hao was here for.

“Let’s go, we’ll meet him in the future.” Shi Hao said.

The warship traveled across the sky, speed not that fast, slowly leaving. Shi Hao carried reluctance, continuously turning around, hoping to see his grandpa return.

Dong!

Up ahead, the void shook greatly. Another warship that was scarlet red appeared, as if it was smeared in a layer of blood, full of vicious energy. It rushed out from the void, almost smashing into the green warship.

It was clear that someone was moving through the void, just exiting a great spatial crack.

Shi Hao frowned, controlling the warship, moving out of the way.

However, what he didn’t expect was that a streak of sword radiance shot over, directly hacking towards their warship.

The sword energy was extremely chilly, carrying an intent of destruction, cold-blooded and ruthless, ready to kill everyone on the ship.

Dang!

Shi Hao stuck out a finger. With a light shake, the sword energy was scattered. He stood at the front of the ship, staring forward coldly.

“When Heavenly Country’s warship moves, who dares stand in its path?” At the front of the ship, someone berated.

When he heard that it was Heavenly Country, Shi Hao’s expression immediately became cold. This assassin organization was extremely bloody and notorious, committed who knew how many foul deeds.

Back then, he had previously been targeted by this sect as well, even Heavenly Country’s lord had previously acted against him

There was even less of a need to talk about their younger generation. Previously, in the three thousand provinces’ competition, Heavenly Country’s divine child and others had surrounded Shi Hao, yet unfortunately, they were all killed by Shi Hao in the end.

Of course, if it was just this bit, then that was that, Shi Hao wouldn’t carry such hatred.

In his heart, there was always a prick. He never forgot how miserably Ghost Grandpa died.

In the lower realms, Heaven Mending Pavilion’s Ghost Grandpa was killed in the ancient times precisely by Heavenly Country, while Ghost Grandpa’s remnant soul had previously followed Shi Hao for some time.

Dong!

Shi Hao reached out a finger, but this time, he didn’t show any mercy. With a dang sound, the scarlet red warship immediately exploded, breaking apart.

“Who?!” Inside the great warship, a voice sounded, incomparably furious.

At the same time, the entire warship grew dim, moreover quickly disappearing.

This was Heavenly Country’s way of doing things, always carrying out hidden attacks. Once they encountered hostility, they would either fight or immediately go into hiding, then assassinate their target.

Hong!

Shi Hao released a light scoff. In the sky, endless lightning appeared, drowning the void. Then, that place directly exploded. That damaged warship had nowhere to hide.

“Senior, there was a bit of a misunderstanding.” On the warship, someone spoke up, lowering their stance, immediately becoming weak.

Then, a stocky individual appeared, a middle-aged man, speaking out, “Dao brother, please quell your anger. We unintentionally offended you.”

However, how could Shi Hao believe that they were reasonable? Just now, they were going to destroy his green warship without uttering a single word.

These vicious individuals were merely acting flexibly according to the situation, discovering that he wasn’t someone they could provoke.

Suddenly, that person was alarmed, saying with a trembling voice, “You… Shi Hao?!”

Back then, Shi Hao’s portrait had been spread through a few great sects, many people recognizing him. This middle-aged man was part of Heavenly Country’s higher levels, so he naturally saw this portrait before.

At this moment, the middle-aged man became ashen-faced, immediately feeling a huge headache, sweat pouring down his forehead. His entire body went cold. It was actually this disastrous brat that he ran into.

“Shi Hao?!”

The others were also horrified, because recently, there were rumors going around that the past Shi Hao had risen up quickly, his name resounding through the Nine Heavens, even more so swept through too many enemies in Desolate Border, establishing illustrious contributions.

Now, some people already knew that the past youngster defied the heavens, powerful to the point where they couldn’t go against him!

“Where is Heavenly Country’s foundation rooted?” Shi Hao asked, his voice just too indifferent.

Since they actually ran into each other, he really wanted to make a trip to Heavenly Country!

Only, Heavenly Country was too mysterious. For outsiders, even though they knew where the nominal palace was, they didn’t know where the inheritance was.

It was because Heavenly Country also knew that as an assassin organization, they provoked too many grudges, there was no way they could reveal their true divine country ancestral land.

“I… do not know!” This middle-aged man trembled. It was because he sensed how strong Shi Hao was. A terrifying aura spread, making his entire body go ice-cold.

“If that’s the case, then you can just go on your way.” Shi Hao didn’t say too much, a hand reaching out.

Honglong!

That ship broke apart, a few assassins also screaming out, all of them turning into a bloody mist.

The middle-aged man released a great roar. Even though he did everything he could, resisting with all of his cultivation, it was still too hard for him to preserve his life. He also exploded, body and spirit erased.

Shi Hao was calm inside, not showing any mercy, not feeling any guilt either. It was because these were a group of killers, infamous, evil to the extreme, all of them needing to be punished.

If it was other inheritances, even if they had grudges against him, he wouldn’t kill them all so directly without a second thought.

“Stop, who dares act unbridled in my Demon Province?”

In the distance, fluctuations sounded, A low roar transmitted over.

“Who are you?” Shi Hao asked.

“Demonic Sunflower Garden’s Second Elder.” In the distance, someone transmitted sound, moreover directly asking, “I came to welcome Heavenly Country’s dao friend, you… killed him?”

It was clear that that person only knew how serious and terrifying the situation was after arriving. His expression immediately became unnatural.

Then, he turned around to run!

He really was scared badly. Someone of the higher levels of Heavenly Country was directly slapped to death, all of the assassins on the ship killed. This was definitely not some small matter.

“Demonic Sunflower Garden? I was just about to take a look!” Shi Hao said, his voice a bit cold.

Back then, Demonic Sunflower Garden’s lord had also tried to kill him. Since he was here, then he naturally had to pay them a visit, see just how strong this person was!

Shua!

Shi Hao got up, pulling the golden lion behind him, leaving the warship.

He shrunk the warship with a great divine ability, collecting it into his sleeves. Then, he sat on the Fearless Lion’s back, directly heading towards Demonic Sunflower Garden.
