Perfect World

Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Bullying Men and Dominating Women
 

True God Qi Xia found it unbelievable, the golden robe glowed, the silver hair fluttered, and she widened her eyes, her voice trembling, “How is it possible, how can he trigger the Immortal Scripture?!”

It was hard for her to accept because even the strongest in the clan couldn’t do it, yet a youth had actually heard the chanting of scriptures, unthinkable.

“Indeed, it is unexpected, but he is indeed comprehending the law. If it wasn’t for Immortal Linglong manifesting a piece of Bone Text of the road, what other explanation could there be?” Celestial God Qi Tuo said.

“Does he carry Immortal Qi on him, with immortal substances?” Qi Xia showed surprise as she asked this.

By now she had realized that Immortal Linglong was an exceptional treasure. To measure its worth with worldly treasures would seem pale by comparison, such an object is difficult to find a second piece in the whole world.

It didn’t record Secret Techniques on its own, but it was capable of imprinting the workings of this universe, manifesting traces of the road, which is why it could be referred to as Immortal Scripture.

Qi Tuo nodded, thinking that Shi Hao might indeed have some remnants of immortal substance on him.

“At this moment, Immortal Linglong is either inscribing the road of this world or repairing some incomplete laws in the boy’s body.” Celestial God Qi Tuo judged.

If it’s the former, it’s easy to understand because that is the inherent value of Immortal Linglong. If it’s the latter, it suggests that Moye has an unparalleled legacy, with deficiencies, but being completed.

From any perspective, this is significant, it implies that an unrivaled precious symbol is taking shape!

“What’s the background of this guy to have an immortal substance?” True God Qi Xia muttered to herself.

Compared to her, Celestial God Qi Tuo was more concerned with the results, caring about the law Shi Hao was comprehending. If given to the Celestials Clan, it would be an unparalleled legacy!

“I still have some difficulty understanding it.” Qi Xia was puzzled, as to how a youth could have obtained Immortal Qi and immortal substances.

“There’s nothing absolute in the world, perhaps just a trigger leading to the current change, since the Flying Celestial Stone itself had absorbed some immortal substances long ago.” Celestial God Qi Tuo said, recalling some past events.

“You mean…” Qi Xia inquired.

“In the past, our clan had six great Celestials.” Celestial God Qi Tuo half-closed his eyes reminiscing about the ancient past, filled with nostalgia and many regrets.

The Celestials Clan was extremely brilliant in Primeval Times, leaving the Three Thousand States in awe, referred to as the imperial family of the higher realms, ushering in a prosperous era.

A thought struck True God Qi Xia. She had also heard some rumors about the ultimate fate of the six great Celestials, enigmatic and mysterious, unknown to many in her clan.

Even True Gods couldn’t fully comprehend what exactly led to their demise—it was a taboo topic!

“At our most powerful and glorious times, my clan was unmatched, and revered throughout the lands,” Celestial God Qi Tuo said, his eyes bright with longing for that era.

“Where did they go?” True God Qi Xia cautiously asked, seizing the rare opportunity to inquire about the six great Celestials.

With a soft sigh, Celestial God Qi Tuo said, “In their final days, the six great Celestials ventured into the vast No-Man’s Land, disappearing for tens to hundreds of millions of years, with five of them never returning.”

This was the reason for the decline of the Celestials Clan; otherwise, if the six great Celestials were still alive, they would still be the imperial family of the upper realms!

True God Qi Xia trembled at the realization that several of the clan’s Archaic Ancestors had disappeared in this way!

Six “From Man to Celestial” supreme beings, ultimately only one survived to return, not uttering a word about what disasters occurred in that No-Man’s Land.

“At that time, they took Immortal Linglong into the depths of that boundless and endless forbidden area and discovered some immortal substances,” Celestial God Qi Tuo revealed, lifting the veil of mystery.

True God Qi Xia was startled; the six great Celestials indeed had grand designs.

Alas, five had fallen, leaving only one to return alive, a terrifying reality. To think that back then, the six could traverse the world, overwhelmingly defeating all foes, yet ending up in such a state.

It was rumored that the entire Three Thousand States combined did not even account for a tenth of the higher realms’ territories, while the vast No-Man’s Land accounted for more than ninety percent, staggering to comprehend.

What exactly lies within that unknown region? Nobody could make it clear.

“The Flying Celestial Stone is of utmost significance, capable of accomplishing a supreme Immortal Scripture. We must keep it within our clan,” Celestial God Qi Tuo said, coming back to his senses with this directive.

The disappearance of the five great Celestials, that price allowed Immortal Linglong to absorb a portion of immortal substances. Though insufficient, it had now been successfully triggered by someone; naturally, this opportunity had to be cherished.

True God Qi Xia understood, Shi Hao could not be allowed to leave.

Shi Hao became the Dao Protector of this generation; the news was not made public, only privately informed to him because the impact was too great, and the Celestials Clan was apprehensive.

But now, his situation quickly improved, with personnel guards to protect him, allowing him to peacefully comprehend the law.

In the past few days, Shi Hao gained significant benefits. Obscure light from the Flying Celestial Stone spilled out. It shone through his arm and into his body, illuminating characters.

Furthermore, the sounds of the road, like the resonant tones of great bells, roared in his ears, aiding his comprehension of the Dao.

With assistance from the Flying Celestial Stone, the characters within his body became clearer, each grasped by him. However, it was not achievable overnight since the Supreme Bone had long been lost.

During this process, Shi Hao introspected, carefully observing the changes within himself, figuring out what made him different, why he could sense the mysterious power of the Flying Celestial Stone.

He discovered it must be related to his contact with the Immortal Grave and the two pieces of golden paper from the Thunder Emperor, with remnants of Immortal Dao Aura within his body triggering the anomaly in the Flying Celestial Stone.

Soon, this session of comprehension ended, and he released the Flying Celestial Stone.

Manzhu Shahua and Furu appeared, their faces reluctant, their beautiful and luminous countenances filled with unwillingness, taking care of this fellow was something they were entirely reluctant to do.

“Here’s the menu, what would you like?” Manzhu Shahua asked without expression.

“A hundred jin of dragon’s liver, three plates of phoenix marrow,” Shi Hao joked.

“You!” Furu glared at him, finding him more annoying, always opposing them.

The menu prepared by the Celestials Clan for Shi Hao was astonishing, all precious medicine and Spiritual Liquid, each of great value in the outside world, just to aid his comprehension of the Dao.

The Purple Mansion Fluid, for example, could purify the Divine Sense and clarify the body, exceedingly extraordinary. Common people shouldn’t even think about it, never having seen it.

The foods were all essences of Spiritual Medicine and substantial nourishment from flesh, his meal would shock bystanders in the outside world, for its value was immeasurable.

“What’s so great about this thick-skinned guy that he is treated so well by Celestial God Qi Tuo,” Manzhu Shahua secretly dissatisfied, even she was stunned by the ingredients.

For example, that bowl of soup had a segment of Divine Medicine cooked into a paste, glowing with flowing light.

Generally speaking, only Celestial Gods in seclusion would enjoy such treatment.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but laugh, although these days he was “honored” by the Celestials Clan, heaven knows when his identity would be exposed, it was impossible to predict what might happen.

“When will we become Dao companions?” he said to the two, purposely frightening them.

The two ladies were terrified to the point of losing their color and really wanted to flee the City of the Heavens. If they were forced into marriage and had to marry the most loathsome youth, it would truly be the most dreadful punishment for them.

Thus, for several days, Shi Hao was very comfortable. He practiced his cultivation with the help of Immortal Linglong and had two pearls of the Celestials Clan for company, simply like a top-level hedonist.

“How can I leave here?” Shi Hao worried when no one was around, sighing heavily, without any strategy.

In the City of the Heavens, all the young Celestials were envious of him, having heard some news.

“Do you know? The guy who lifted the Flying Celestial Stone is now treated like a treasure, having access to all sorts of Sacred Divine Medicines.”

“Sigh, if it were just that, it would be nothing, but our clan’s two pearls have entered his room and have become his forbidden delicacies. It’s a violation of natural justice.”

“What did you say, repeat that? That’s outrageous, he must not defile the two fairies!”

A group of people in the city began to argue, all young powerful Celestials, and the debate was fierce.

“Every word I said is true, Spider Lily and Furu have indeed moved into his residence. If you don’t believe it, you can go ask for confirmation.”

The news was shocking!

The Celestials Clan valued Moye, providing him with precious medicine and letting him comprehend the Immortal Dao. These things were acceptable, but this result grieved many young Celestials.

On this day, the news spread, and almost all the young Celestials knew about it, causing an uproar and tumult.

“Our clan’s two unparalleled beauties have been taken into the chambers by an outsider?”

“Oh heavens, strike me with lightning and put me out of my misery. What hope is there left in life? This is too disappointing!”

Outside, there was an uproar.

“Young Miss, it’s not good – someone is slandering you.” A maid came running with the news.

“Who, who said it?” Spider Lily asked.

“You’ll know if you walk down the street.” The maid dared not speak directly.

Spider Lily and Furu stood up and just arrived on the street when they triggered a disturbance. Many young powerhouses surrounded them.

Soon, they knew what had happened, and they were overwhelmed with shame and anger. It was as if their image was completely destroyed; everyone was discussing the matter.

“Spider Lily, don’t be afraid, it’s just a person from outside our clan. We will help you drive him away. The City of the Heavens cannot tolerate him bullying our males and oppressing our females!”

“Furu, I will fight for you, chase that scoundrel away… I… won’t look down on you!”

Hearing these words, the two peerless beauties were at a loss. The more they listened, the worse it sounded, and their faces turned extremely ugly.

Eventually, the two left in anger with faces ashen, brushing their sleeves in dismay.

Clearly, this was also done intentionally. They incited the people’s indignation, hoping to use the public to deal with Shi Hao, and now they had succeeded halfway.

Indeed, the heroes were enraged, and a large group of young Celestials flooded the streets, rushing towards the Azure Lake, surrounding Shi Hao’s residence.

“You bully, release our Celestials Clan’s pearls!”

“By what right do you dare do this in our City of the Heavens? Even if you are from some Imperial Clan, it won’t work. Our clan will not compromise.”

Shi Hao was baffled, disturbed from his meditation, and stepped out of his quiet residence to see thousands of young Celestials. He felt very innocent.

“Get out of the City of the Heavens; this place isn’t for you!”

“What qualifications do you have, kid, to bully our men and oppress our women in our clan? I challenge you right here to rid us of your evil!”

Listening to these clamoring voices, Shi Hao glanced disdainfully at everyone.

“I’m with my dao partner; what concern is it of yours?”

A simple sentence, akin to igniting a keg of gunpowder, made many want to rush over and beat him.

Shi Hao glanced at Spider Lily and Furu, noticing the slight smirks on their lips, realizing it was their doing that brought these people here, and he strode over to them.

“Spider Lily, Furu, come here. Don’t be upset; it’s not worth bothering with them. Come back with me and take care of the baby!”

With those words, all at once, silence fell. All the young Celestials opened their mouths, shocked, despondent, and then in despair.

“You scoundrel!” Eventually, the young Celestials of the Celestials Clan all shouted, and chaos ensued.

Spider Lily and Furu screamed in dismay. This kid was simply atrocious; now, no matter what explanation they gave, it would seem pale and hard to clarify.

They made a commotion loudly, but with so many people, their voices were drowned out. The two ladies felt humiliated and frustrated, wishing they could bite Shi Hao to death.

Shi Hao made his move, swift like a specter, reaching their side and pulling them away. His cultivation was stronger than theirs; they couldn’t resist.

People were furious and wanted to attack.

Then, True God Qi Xia intervened, roaring loudly, suppressing everyone, and ordering them to disperse.

The turmoil couldn’t be stopped; that day, many talents came out of secluded cultivation to challenge Moye and decide the outcome in battle.

Shi Hao placed the Flying Celestial Stone by the lakeside and told the crowd that whoever could lift it could then challenge him; otherwise, they should leave this place in peace.

“So arrogant!” The people were outraged, yet they were helpless, for nobody could lift it.

That day, Spider Lily and Furu were so angry they nearly vomited blood. They wanted to fight Shi Hao to the death, but as they were no match for him, they were both suppressed, further reinforcing his infamy of bullying men and oppressing women.

“We are not convinced; we want to see the Celestial God!”

“Please, the Archaic Ancestors come out of seclusion to uphold justice!”

That day, many people were shouting.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, all the Celestial Gods came out of seclusion!

Because Yun Xi and others had completely merged with the Heavenly Destiny Stone, they no longer required their assistance and protection, so they all came out.

Shi Hao sighed; what was bound to come had finally arrived. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast your vote of recommendation, monthly ticket at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
