Chapter 722 - 722 Immortal Linglong



Chapter 722: Chapter 722 Immortal Linglong
 

Shi Hao had no idea that he had lifted the Flying Celestial Stone, and the scene fell silent. He remained immersed in his own world.

“This… Is there no justice in the world?!” A group of Celestials was greatly shocked, their expressions changing dramatically. None of their kind had ever succeeded before, and yet the youth before them had lifted the strange rock.

The scene erupted into chaos, and all the young Celestials were dumbfounded, creating a loud disturbance.

The dozens of geniuses from other races were also astonished. They were closely related to the Celestials and naturally knew the origins of this stone—it was an Ancient Immortal Stone, difficult to move.

Now someone had shattered their understanding, lifting the Flying Celestial Stone above their head, and it seemed effortless, very natural.

“Truly Divine Power!” Even the Primordial could only stare in envy and astonishment; he had also tried to lift it, but only a foot off the ground, persisting only for a moment.

...

Everyone was stunned, finding it inconceivable.

The beautiful eyes of Manjusaka widened, never expecting such an outcome—that such an unpleasant and thick-skinned boy would actually succeed!

“This is terrible!” she murmured involuntarily, wanting to flee. She had made a bet with Shi Hao and now she had lost; the consequences were unthinkable.

Furu was also pale with fear. What was to be done? She had never imagined that this person could really uplift the Ancient Immortal Stone; it was like a dream.

Not long ago, she had been provoking Shi Hao, waiting to mock him, thinking it impossible for him to lift the Immortal Stone. Now, the truth was right before her eyes.

The two women exchanged glances, feeling that something terrible was looming. The thought of the bet made them uncomfortable; were they both really going to become this youth’s Dao companions?

Faced with this outcome, both of their faces drained of color. They were truly frightened, feeling they had set themselves up—the condition they had set, so easily met by the other party.

Both women were proud and haughty, never humble or submissive, and had always confidently refused the geniuses from various races who came to propose. And now, to marry the same man?

The thought of this outcome was more unbearable than death. If this were to spread, how could they face it? It was too embarrassing!

“Heavens, someone has lifted the Flying Celestial Stone!”

After a brief commotion at the Martial Arts Arena, someone shouted, the news spreading far and wide, undoubtedly shocking many Celestials.

“This guy succeeded?”

Many people who couldn’t squeeze in, standing outside the Martial Arts Arena because there were too many people, were all stunned upon hearing the news, completely taken aback.

For none had ever lifted the Immortal Stone since ancient times, and now someone was holding it aloft, maintaining the pose—a bombshell revelation.

“Could it be that our race’s three most brilliant pearls are all to become his Dao companions? Heavens, just strike me with lightning and kill me now!” Someone cried out in despair.

The tranquility of the area was shattered, and people found it hard to stay calm, a sense of turbulence spreading.

Manjusaka and Furu, hearing the words of the crowd, had even more trouble maintaining their composure, especially when they felt all eyes focusing on them. The two women wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

“What should we do?”

The two women looked at each other, unable to think of a solution.

Manjusaka, dressed in red, shimmered with scarlet, like flames burning, her skin snow-white and lustrous. At this moment, her brows were deeply furrowed—she was filled with worry.

Furu, in a pure white, dust-free dress, looked transcendently beautiful. She felt extremely unwilling and helpless at the thought of becoming that guy’s Dao companion, having a descendant in a few years, and was nearly driven insane.

“Why hasn’t he moved yet, maintaining that pose?” The noise of the crowd was deafening, and everyone at the Martial Arts Arena discussed fervently. Some noticed Shi Hao’s abnormality and raised questions.

This was too preposterous!

He stood firm as a boulder, motionless, effortlessly holding the Flying Celestial Stone, his posture suggesting he could maintain it for a long time.

“How is that possible, it’s already impressive that he could lift it, but how can he hold it for such a long time?”

Everyone found it incredible, looking as if they’ve seen a ghost.

“Hey, this guy couldn’t have been Suppression Killed, right? And now only an empty shell is left standing there,” someone murmured.

Upon hearing this, Manjushka and Furu immediately paid attention, they really hoped some mishap would happen, and then the so-called bet could be canceled.

“His breathing is long and steady, the vital energy inside his body is dormant, like a dragon in the abyss, clearly in peak condition,” someone concluded.

“Is this provocation on purpose?” a Primordial from the foreign race wondered, otherwise why would it happen.

Manjushka and Furu looked and looked again, feeling it made sense, this guy actually closed his eyes, looking nonchalant and at ease, too detestable and shameful.

“What are you clamoring about?!” An elder figure arrived, and upon learning of the situation, couldn’t help but exclaim in shock and stood there dumbfounded.

True God Qi Xia was the first to arrive when the Divine Power Guardians were helping Yun Xi and others integrate with the Heavenly Destiny Stone, the True Gods were in charge of handling many affairs of the clan.

“Did he succeed, did this guy really do it?!” Even True God Qi Xia was shocked, feeling the unexpected, a huge wave surged in his heart.

This was no small matter, definitely enough to startle a Celestial God, and then come out of seclusion to understand the situation in detail, this was too unbelievable.

“This guy is too good at pretending, still not putting down the Flying Celestial Stone, be careful not to exhaust to death, vomiting blood and dying!” Manjushka was resentful.

“No, he is in Enlightenment, you must not disturb him,” True God Qi Xia noticed the problem, her expression grave, warning everyone not to touch him.

Upon these words being spoken, it stirred envy even more, many people widened their eyes, staring continuously at him.

“Furu, Manjushka, what do you think of this youth? By performing such a feat, he has truly surpassed the predecessors of our Celestials Clan,” the elderly Qi Xia sighed.

Both girls were left speechless, this youth was indeed extraordinary, to have such capabilities, he was no ordinary person, but thinking of his attitude just before, both were truly intolerable.

“It’s simply a nightmare!” Manjushka said unabashedly.

“Protect him in his cultivation!” True God Qi Xia commanded, ordering a group of people to disperse, and she personally guarded the place.

An hour later, Shi Hao finally opened his eyes.

He sighed softly, the Hand of the Heavens was too intricate, to truly understand and possess it required time, it was not possible to completely comprehend and remember it all at once.

At this moment, he had already exited the state of Enlightenment. Would he have another chance next time?

“Eh, I… how did I lift the Flying Celestial Stone?” Shi Hao was shocked, discovering his own state, the truth was it was not him lifting it, but the stone resonated with the Divine Patterns in his body and naturally rose on its own.

Nearby, everyone was speechless!

“Heavens, I actually lifted it like this, does it really mean I have to marry those two flowers?” He panicked, he was someone preparing to run away, trying every means to fail, but how did it turn into this?

Everyone was dumbfounded, was this guy… acting bashful after taking advantage?

People wouldn’t believe these were his true feelings, all felt he was showing off, intentionally mocking the two peerlessly beautiful women.

Manjushka was instantly annoyed, saying, “What do you mean, is it intentional?” She really wanted to beat up this youth, he was too arrogant!

“I really didn’t mean to lift it,” Shi Hao protested his innocence, feeling he couldn’t leave the city, he didn’t mind speaking some truth.

However, to everyone else, this was extremely arrogant, absolutely acting bashful after taking advantage!

The young powerhouses of the Celestials Clan all glared angrily, believing that he was doing this on purpose, showing contempt for everyone.

“You…” Furu in her white garment was also infuriated, struggling to maintain her composure, wishing she could bite him a few times, alongside the Manjushage.

The dozen or so geniuses from other races were speechless. They had plans to propose marriage to the Celestials Clan, but then this wild upstart appeared out of nowhere, his strength leaving them with nothing to say.

This was a storm sweeping through the City of the Heavens. Despite wishing to keep a low profile, Shi Hao unintentionally lifting that stone caused a sensation in all directions.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the higher-ups of his clan were unable to leave, Shi Hao would have certainly been summoned for questioning by now.

In the following two days, visitors arrived in a continuous stream by the azure lake where he lived, including those geniuses who formerly held enmity towards him.

Because, it seemed an undeniable fact was becoming hard to change – that Shi Hao was most likely going to form a divine ring with the two pearls.

As for Yun Xi, no one could judge, for she had merged with the Heavenly Destiny Stone and would be receiving personal teachings from the old Celestial, an arrangement outsiders couldn’t influence!

During these two days, both Manjushage and Furu were sullen, going crazy every time they thought about marrying Shi Hao and becoming his divine ring partner.

Especially, when recalling their verbal spats and wagers made, their faces flushed hot with anger and embarrassment. Overall, they felt they had gambled away themselves!

Both women felt a deep sense of self-inflicted misery and profound regret.

“No, I cannot accept this. Even if he is strong… he is too despicable, shamelessly thick-skinned. To be in a double resting divine ring with him would be unbearable!” exclaimed Manjushage.

She conspired with Furu to start using all the means and grey forces at their disposal in secret, hoping to change it all.

During these two days, Shi Hao sought advice from True God Qi Xia, who made an exception to allow him to sit continuously in front of the Flying Celestial Stone for meditation!

“What, they want to see me?” Shi Hao was surprised upon receiving the message that the two pearls had invited him over.

He thought about it and agreed, following them to their location.

“Go hunting and gathering herbs?” Shi Hao showed a trace of surprise upon arriving at a cavern residence, and receiving such news from the two women.

Every year at this time, the spiritual medicine lands and beast fields would be open, allowing the young descendants of the clan to hunt and gather herbs.

Receiving such news, Shi Hao’s spirits immediately soared. He knew an opportunity might be coming his way, the two women weren’t giving up yet, which was exactly what he wanted.

The influence exerted by the two peerless beauties was astonishing. Just one day later, Shi Hao left the City of the Heavens with a group of youths, entering the vast mountain ranges below.

During this time, gathering herbs and hunting were quite normal, but eventually, Shi Hao was led to the edge of an abyss.

“It is said that beneath here lies an inexplicable space node, leading to the vast remnants left by the Immortal Ancient Era, and the Flying Celestial Stone was found from there,” narrated Manjushage.

Shi Hao silently perceived, realizing that there indeed seemed to be spatial fissures below, leading far away!

Perhaps this was his last chance to escape?

With his Dual Pupils, Shi Hao observed stealthily, and before Manjushage and Furu could complete their temptation and explanation, he leaped down, saying, “Let me go and explore the truth!”

The two women, along with their accompanying experts, were taken aback. How had this rascal become so foolish? So easily manipulated, even before they could employ other tactics, he took off on his own!

“Ssh!”

However, chains appeared, ensnaring Shi Hao and pulling him back, preventing him from jumping into the abyss.

A figure emerged, it was the Celestial God Qi Tuo who had brought Shi Hao back from the Scarlet Plains that day!

“Little friend, it’s very dangerous down there, you can’t go in.” He smiled at Shi Hao and took a deep look at Manjushahua and Furu, causing both women to lower their heads immediately.

The group was taken back to the City of the Heavens, and whether it was the two women or Shi Hao, there was great disappointment in their hearts.

Qi Tuo had left his seclusion, meaning that those high-ranking figures would now appear.

Celestial God Qi Tuo recognized the wager between Manjushahua, Furu, and Shi Hao, and decided that they would soon be united as cultivator companions.

“My God!” The faces of both women turned ashen, exchanging looks of shock, silently cursing non-stop, feeling like they had shot themselves in the foot, suffering a huge loss.

Not only that, Celestial God Qi Tuo made an undisclosed decision in private, appointing Shi Hao as the young generation’s Dao Protector of the Celestials Clan, which also meant, in the future, he would be the Dao Protector for the entire Celestials Clan!

Without a doubt, a clan’s Protector held immense power, second only to the clan chief.

Qi Tuo’s effort to win him over and the high regard he held for him surprised many True Gods, and when some voiced objections, he responded with only one sentence: “Can you listen to the Dao sounds of the Flying Celestial Stone? It contains Immortal Scriptures!”

“Have me serve him tea and water?” Manjushahua was fuming with rage, absolutely infuriated. It was a True God within the clan who had asked her and Furu to take care of Shi Hao’s daily needs.

This drove both women crazy; it was too much even for winning someone over, wasn’t it? Both felt ashamed and angry.

Over the past two days, Shi Hao obtained special permission to take the Flying Celestial Stone back to his residence, where he would meditate and cultivate all day, comprehending the road to immortality.

Clearly, this situation caused quite a stir, with many within the Celestials Clan discussing it.

Even the geniuses from other races were shocked.

“This person must be kept, he’s worth winning over.” Celestial God Qi Tuo personally instructed, telling Manjushahua and Furu not to be capricious.

The two women were resentful and indignant. Despite having Celestial Gods among their ancestors, they still had to come to the shore of the small lake and were ordered to take care of Shi Hao’s daily needs.

“Eh, why are you here, are we to become cultivator companions right now?” Shi Hao asked in surprise, then whispered with a teasing tone, “More eager than I am, truly unreserved.”

The two women nearly scratched his face; he was so infuriating. Who was unreserved? Both clenched their teeth and held back.

“Primordial God, what exactly is inside the Flying Celestial Stone?” True God Qi Xia asked Celestial God Qi Tuo humbly, wanting to know the truth, feeling that he was “coddling” Shi Hao too much.

“It contains the Immortal Linglong,” said Celestial God Qi Tuo with a grave expression.

“What is the Immortal Linglong?” Qi Xia asked in astonishment.

“The supreme Heavenly Tome transmitted from the Immortal Ancient Era, capable of inscribing the scriptures of the road.” Qi Tuo spoke, his gaze deep.

“What!” Qi Xia was shocked; this was an invaluable treasure. She was also puzzled why their own people were not comprehending it.

“The Immortal Linglong itself has no lineage of Dao teachings. However, when nourished by Immortal Qi and undying substances, it has a miraculous response, able to communicate with heaven and earth, and reveal Bone Text of the road.”

Hearing this, Qi Xia was stunned and said, “Does that mean he can trigger an Immortal Scripture?”
