Perfect World

Chapter 721: Chapter 721 Hand of the Heavens
 

“It has appeared again…” Shi Hao muttered to himself, feeling joy, sorrow, and loss all mingled together, leaving him with complex emotions.

He looked inward; the Bone Text formed strokes like characters— a horizontal line, a vertical line, a leftward slant, a downward stroke… they came together brilliantly like morning light, densely packed like stars, and holy power surged within him.

In the past, that very bone had caused blood and tears to be shed, leading to many events filled with joy and sorrow, fundamentally changing his life.

From having his bones bloody ripped out, to near death experiences, being forgotten in the great desolate Stone Village, to rising alone and battling the world… all because of the True Bone.

How could the Bone Text manifest again? Shi Hao’s emotions were like surging waves, unable to remain calm as this mark was condensing!

“Boom!”

From within the Flying Celestial Stone, like morning bells and evening drums, a Dao sound passed through his arm, entering his body, earth-shatteringly enlightening and greatly inspiring him.

The Bone Text within his flesh was dense, flowing like molten iron, hot and strong, spreading to his limbs and bones, displaying the elegance of the precious symbol!

Shi Hao suppressed his restlessness, calmed his heart, and focused all his senses on comprehending this pattern, engraving it to truly and thoroughly master it—this was a rare opportunity.

His body and mind clear, he entered a selfless state, his eyes only seeing the precious symbol, only the Bone Text!

This was a deep comprehension, his mind calm, each symbol condensed and manifested within his body, securely grasped.

The precious symbols bred by the Innate Supreme Bone were terrifying in their complexity, intricate to an extreme, all the patterns intertwined like countless stars in the sky, hard to remember.

Shi Hao didn’t know if he’d have the chance to see such symbols again, thus he discarded all distractions just to remember this Secret Technique.

For a moment, he sat in absolute silence, immersed in his inner world.

Around him, people showed surprised expressions, wondering why he had become so quiet.

Regardless, everyone was shocked; he had lifted the Flying Celestial Stone, three feet off the ground, motionless, maintaining this state for a long time.

How terrifying must his strength be?

It should be noted that just moments ago, several geniuses had exhausted their energies just to shake it; even those from Primordial times could only lift it one or two feet off the ground, unable to hold on longer.

His performance was truly awe-inspiring, stunning a crowd!

Manjushage and Furu’s faces turned pale, what kind of monster was he? They were worried and shocked, fearing he might lift the stone in one go, their eyes meeting each other’s in fear.

“How impressive, this lunatic truly has the right to be arrogant. Could he lift this strange rock today?”

Some felt a drumming in their hearts, finding it unbelievable.

Whether it was the Celestials Clan or the several geniuses from other races, they were all envious, unwilling to let him succeed; how could such a feat be opened by him?

Suddenly, people noticed his body tremble, then violently shake, as if his body could no longer hold on.

“Eh, it seems like he can’t do it, he’s about to fall.” someone whispered, revealing a pleased expression.

Shi Hao’s body shook more and more intensely, the light from the Flying Celestial Stone in his hand seemed to slip through, as if it was about to fall out of his grasp.

“I knew he would fail, nobody can succeed, who does he think he is?”

“The stone of the Immortal Ancient Era, no one can lift it!”

The people of Celestials Clan took a relieving breath; their own race couldn’t lift the Flying Celestial Stone, how could they bear it if an outsider did?

Young powerhouses from other schools and local heroes also secretly sighed in relief; otherwise, being outperformed like this would be too shameful.

Manjushage and Furu, two beautiful women, were no longer tense, slightly relaxed—if this guy really succeeded, they would have blood spat.

“Stop showing off, you simply can’t do it,” Manjushage said delighting in his misfortune, deliberately provoking Shi Hao, wanting to see him in a sorry state.

“It’s okay to give up, you don’t have that talent. Forcing it will only cause your bones to break and tendons to snap, even severing your foundation,” Furu said calmly.

Clearly, she was retaliating, pushing Shi Hao to exert himself because she had been previously angered.

The several young powerhouses from other races also showed unusual expressions, some with smirks at the corners of their lips, quietly waiting for Shi Hao to embarrass himself, to be crushed by the Flying Celestial Stone.

However, despite waiting left and right, Shi Hao kept shaking his body but didn’t fall.

“I think it should be soon.” Someone began timing, a smile on their face, hoping to witness the so-called genius spectacularly collapse.

In the Martial Arts Arena, it was crowded with many young powerhouses, all waiting, quietly anticipating the young man’s failure.

Time passed, and hundreds of breaths had already gone by!

“Eh, why hasn’t he fallen yet?”

“It’s strange, he clearly can’t stand anymore, why is he still holding up, something’s not right.”

Everyone was astonished, showing puzzled expressions.

They were disappointed, doubting, he should have been crushed, why was he still swaying in the wind?

“I guess he might suddenly fail fatally, clearly already at his limit, yet still biting on and holding on, his body might completely shatter in an instant!”

“That’s interesting, let’s see how long you can hold on,” Manjushage whispered softly.

Suddenly, Shi Hao moved, his arms slightly lifting, the Flying Celestial Stone rose a foot higher, four feet off the ground now. And, his figure stabilized, solid like a boulder, motionless, stopping any “downward momentum,” firmly standing there.

Everyone was dumbfounded, especially those who had just been gloating; they all shut their mouths.

Even Manjusaka was shocked, her beautiful and delicate face froze. Was this guy doing it on purpose, waiting to watch her make a fool of herself?

Everyone was surprised. He actually held on, and persisted for hundreds of breaths. It was unbelievably strong and excessive.

Was he doing this on purpose to show everyone?

“How shameful! Playing tricks? Daring to do so, isn’t he afraid of really being overwhelmed and exploding to death?” someone coldly said.

Just now, many young powerhouses had spoken and reached conclusions, but now it seemed they were all wrong. Everyone’s faces couldn’t hold their pride, that guy was challenging them with his actions, sweeping their faces!

“Thick-faced, dark-hearted and wicked, this is his true portrayal,” Furu said, also quite dissatisfied, grinding her teeth secretly.

In fact, it was not Shi Hao’s fault. He had long been immersed in his own world, not caring about others, everything was just an instinctual reaction.

In his eyes, there were only the mysterious Bone Texts. He was utterly fascinated, immersed, meticulously researching, seriously observing, and memorizing each one.

Time was incredibly precious to him, not to be wasted.

“Heaven’s Tribulation Light…”

Inside his body, a radiant light appeared, cutting through eternity, illuminating his inner world brilliantly with an immortal aura pervading.

In the past, he had battled the Child with Dual Pupils, a near-death experience, he had seen such light, a supreme technique nurtured by the Supreme Bone.

One after another, like celestial rosy clouds from outside heavens, illuminating everything, turning into Bone Texts, ripples, and all-encompassing beings, reflecting the heavens.

Shi Hao was immersed, unable to extricate himself, experiencing the various changes, focusing on understanding the law.

Heavenly punishment judges the mortal realms, Bone Texts interwoven, fierce and dreadful.

“Ah?”

As he awakened in his comprehension, Shi Hao was slightly surprised; the Bone Texts were changing, evolving, different from before.

Outside, Heaven’s Tribulation Light descended, and eventually began to condense, transforming into a hand before his eyes, containing all mysteries of heaven’s transformations.

The white hand was smooth like jade, covered in symbols, containing terrifying power, as if it could destroy everything!

“So it is!” Shi Hao realized in his mind; this is the complete precious symbol.

Could it be that the last time Shi Yi used it, he hadn’t fully mastered it, and the bone he grafted hadn’t fully merged to perfection?

If the Child with Dual Pupils were still alive, the next time they met, he should be able to display the flawless Divine Skills.

“Hand of the Heavens!” Shi Hao became enlightened, knowing the name of the precious symbol nurtured by the first bone.

He had lost that bone and no longer had Supreme Blood, how could he still see Bone Texts? Shi Hao was amazed, now awakened, he considered this issue.

“The body is the root, which grew that bone and nurtured the Innate precious symbol, perhaps there is still that most essential imprint in the root.” This was the conclusion he speculated.

Then, he thought of the Flying Celestial Stone, this thing was too valuable, it actually awakened the deepest imprint in his body, reproducing the Supreme Bone Script.

What kind of strange object is it? Shi Hao secretly activated Dual Pupils, observing closely, he noticed something in the stone, but it wasn’t clear.

“An ancient scripture?”

The object was shrouded in mist, hidden within the stone, difficult to see through, even the Dual Pupils were ineffective, unable to capture its true form.

He sighed secretly, no wonder there were rumors that this strange rock could reflect Primordial True Bone, Divine Skin, precious blood, etc., indeed it was extraordinary, using it for cultivation could clearer self-understanding.

The things from the Immortal Ancient Era, truly extraordinary, Shi Hao secretly marveled.

In ancient times, the Celestials Clan stunned the Three Thousand States, claimed as the imperial family of the higher realms, only thus they owned this priceless Immortal Stone, searching through the higher realms and could not find a second piece.

Shi Hao calmed his mind, once again comprehending the law, putting aside everything, earnestly sensing the Bone Texts of Hand of the Heavens, firmly memorizing each in the depths of his heart.

This was a rare opportunity!

Around him, people stared intently; Shi Hao actually closed his eyes, holding the Flying Celestial Stone, his expression calm, neither joyful nor sorrowful.

Manjusaka was really furious, this kid was too good at pretending, others exhausted their strength to move the stone, yet he was so comfortable.

“Don’t act anymore, I know you can’t hold on much longer, yet you’re deliberately controlling your expression. Later when your body is damaged, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

“Are you gathering strength, still thinking to lift it? I guess, you’ll definitely fail,” Furu smiled, taunting and provoking him.

In fact, Shi Hao didn’t hear the women’s words at all, he was immersed in the world of the precious symbol, comprehending Hand of the Heavens.

“I don’t believe it, he can really lift the Flying Celestial Stone!” scoffed a young primordial from another clan.

The strong ones from the Celestials Clan also nodded secretly, not believing he could succeed, because in the past, their clan’s most powerful genius had only lifted it level with his shoulders before his arms exploded.

“It’s… he lifted it!”

Under everyone’s shocked eyes, Shi Hao unconsciously moved, his arms holding the Flying Celestial Stone, slowly raised. This time his body didn’t even shake at all, as steady as a mountain.

Then, his hands and the strange rock rose, directly past his shoulders, and then above his head!

He stood there, holding up the Flying Celestial Stone high. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
