The ten great cave heavens of Shi Hao were glowing and roaring, merging into a massive sun as he descended from the sky like a celestial deity.
Yue Chan Fairy's expression changed. This attack was too powerful. Her delicate jade-like hand clashed with the enormous palm, emitting dazzling rays of light and causing her body to tremble violently.
At the same time, the Heavenly Fox Fairy arrived, her jade arm extended. The天地 (heaven and earth) seemed to collapse, with mist swirling and pressing forward.
Yue Chan Fairy was under siege and could not withstand these two powerful figures. She was about to be captured.
Shi Hao showed a different expression. He still had a trump card up his sleeve and had not yet used the Void Confinement or his fleshly cave heavens. However, he realized that he might indeed capture this fairy.
Earlier, he thought he might not succeed and there was no need to completely offend Yue Chan Fairy. Now, it seemed the witch's skills were superior, and this realm of gods and demons was quite strange.
“Sister, you can't escape,” the Heavenly Fox Fairy said, moving forward.
Shi Hao also attacked, shattering numerous runes with a single palm strike, suppressing Yue Chan Fairy. With a loud bang, he grabbed the arm of this unparalleled beauty, feeling a softness and fragrance.
“Hmm, something's wrong,” the Heavenly Fox Fairy was surprised, sensing something unusual.
At that moment, the realm of gods and demons was split open. A dazzling sword light pierced through the leaden clouds in the sky, cleaving through the world as if a celestial being had descended.
Simultaneously, the entire void collapsed, and the realm of gods and demons disappeared. They found themselves in the real world.
Ahead, a blue lake shimmered. A fairy of peerless grace stood with a jade sword in hand. She had conquered this space and shattered the area.
Shi Hao felt his grip loosen as the fairy's body turned into a shower of light, flying toward the unparalleled fairy in the lake and merging into a cave heaven.
Yue Chan Fairy
The witch laughed and said, “Sister, you truly have impressive skills. You have refined your sect's divine abilities to perfection, even creating a true self with your spiritual body that can almost pass as real within a short time. You are admirable.”
Shi Hao felt a chill in his heart. The spiritual body created was almost indistinguishable from the true self.
Yue Chan Fairy was remarkable; she had not actually been in a dire situation. Her true self had been outside all along, deceiving even the witch for a time.
The battle did not last long. Many people on the lakeshore had not noticed this earlier. Now, as they looked over, they saw the two fairies standing in the lake, causing everyone to be shocked and uncertain.
Especially Shi Hao, who had not drawn much attention.
Yue Chan Fairy's expression was calm, without anger or emotional disturbance. Finally, she smiled and said, “Sister, you truly have excellent skills.”
She then glanced at Shi Hao with a nod, showing no intention of attacking or hostility.
Shi Hao stroked his chin, feeling that this was a disaster he hadn't anticipated. He hadn't wanted to be involved in the dispute between the two women but had ended up taking action.
“What happened?” Many people were surprised.
Suddenly, a dazzling large net fell from the sky, enveloping both the witch and Yue Chan Fairy, with Shi Hao also caught in the crossfire.
The net was terrifying, sparkling with stars and crystal-clear, like interwoven rivers of stars, covering the entire lake, extremely fearsome.
“My young master wishes to invite the two fairies as guests.”
A voice came from the heavens, and large dark clouds surged in, producing a thunderous sound and rapidly pressing down.
“Many influential figures will become insignificant. The master of this ancient divine mountain will certainly be furious when he learns that his descendants are behaving so recklessly,” the witch sneered.
At the same time, Yue Chan Fairy took action. Her battle sword emitted a brilliant divine light, cutting through the high sky with unmatched sharpness.
The witch also produced a treasure, transforming it into a sun, soaring into the sky. With a gentle shake, the entire heavens trembled, and thunderbolts fell from the Nine Heavens.
With a crack, the large net was torn apart, directly destroyed by the two fairies.
Simultaneously, Yue Chan Fairy's divine sword and the witch's treasure shook, scattering the clouds in the sky, with endless divine light intertwining and dazzling.
“What is this? Such a powerful treasure!” Everyone exclaimed in deep shock.
The net was definitely of royal or noble grade. The status and identity of the person who created it were evident, but it was no match for these two powerful treasures.
With a “puff,” the jade sword about a foot long burst with endless light, severing a giant bird's head and directly killing that person.
“Yue Chan Fairy is so strong. Is her sword an ancient sacred artifact?” Many people were awed by the sword's immense power.
“Boom”
In the void, the witch's treasure shone, turning the giant bird’s corpse into powder, leaving nothing behind.
Then, the two treasures flew back into their respective owners’ bodies. The two fairies stood in the blue lake, like immortal maidens, facing each other from a distance, their grace unparalleled.
Everyone was moved. These two women were so strong, truly extraordinary, and their magical artifacts were terrifying, capable of suppressing a prince or king.
“How could they be so strong?” Many people found it hard to believe and were puzzled.
“Even if the young supreme Shi Yi were their age in the future, he wouldn’t be any stronger. Can they be surpassed?” Some people gasped in awe at the two women's power.
Yet, they were so beautiful, transcending the mortal realm. It was hard to find any women who could compare to them, like two celestial beings cast down to earth.
More people awakened, realizing they came from beyond the realm. They must be among the most powerful young supremes from beyond, otherwise, how could they dare enter the荒域 (wilderness)?
The two women were indeed beautiful, but their transcendent status and powerful strength made a group of young people sigh in admiration, able only to look from afar and not approach.
Those who had earlier been hopeful were now silent. They were geniuses with high status in the imperial capital, but compared to these two women, they were nothing.
The two women stopped gazing at each other and, very tacitly, did not take any further action. They parted ways, each walking toward their own direction.
A group of young elites surged toward them, their eyes burning with desire. Though they had restrained their thoughts considerably, they still approached eagerly, full of enthusiasm.
“This world has become peaceful,” Shi Hao said innocently, shrugging. He stood by the lake, and the two women had not spoken to him further.
He knew this was only temporary. Though the two did not wish to fight here, they were still paying attention to him, not wanting to reveal his exceptional nature to the public.
Shi Hao walked toward the food pile, where someone was barbecuing. Various delicacies and wines were available, emitting an intoxicating aroma.
“I like gatherings like this,” he soon forgot everything else and focused on eating and drinking.
In fact, although he was close to the two women by the lake earlier, no one paid much attention to him. Everyone thought he was passively caught in the turmoil and did not associate him with the two fairies.
Therefore, he still did not attract much notice.
It wasn’t until he had a big appetite that people nearby started to notice him. Some girls whispered, “Did you see that? This guy can really eat. I saw him eat an entire roasted wild bull by himself.”
“Hey, it’s you, glutton,” a beautiful woman recognized him and gave that remark.
“Fatty, I haven’t eaten your share,” Shi Hao responded.
The Miss of the Thunder Clan was infuriated, her teeth itching with anger. This brat had snatched the mysterious bone at the auction, which she had been brooding over. Now, being called a glutton was simply outrageous.
In the end, she stomped her foot in frustration, but did not erupt in anger. She walked away.
“Good, you actually came, and you’re here eating and drinking so ostentatiously,” a resentful voice sounded. It was Liu Han, who had his bronze chariot stolen on the way, along with his companions.
In addition, they had brought two other individuals with formidable strength, both powerful members of the royal family.
“Thanks for lending me the chariot. I’m done with it now, so you can come and take it back,” Shi Hao said, continuing to enjoy his delicious food.
“You are really outrageous,” Liu Han fumed. He came from the Lingyun Marquis’ mansion and had never suffered such humiliation before. Being beaten up and having his chariot stolen was a disgrace.
However, he did not dare to raise his voice too loudly, fearing that too many people would know about it, as it was truly a joke.
“Teach him a lesson and then throw him into the lake,” he whispered, then awkwardly asked the two strangers to act. They were powerful members of the royal family who had arrived in their chariot.
“Remember, Liu Han, you owe me a powerful treasure,” one of them said coldly.
“Alright,” Liu Han nodded. Even though he was extorted, he wanted to use their strength to deal with this annoying youth. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to vent his anger.
“Boom”
The person struck out, directly slapping forward, and sneered, “Go take a bath in the lake and wake up.”
People around quickly moved away. Such incidents were very common. The gathering had only just begun, and several fights had already occurred, almost leading to casualties.
A gathering of geniuses was like this. Besides exchanges, there were confrontations and fierce battles.
“Splash”
The surface of the lake rippled, and water splashed high. Everyone was surprised and then burst into laughter. Someone had fallen into the water, looking very embarrassed.
“You” The person who had just attacked turned pale, as he was thrown directly into the lake with just one clash. The youth didn’t even get up.
“Stay inside obediently. If you dare come out, I can’t guarantee you won’t have any life-threatening issues,” Shi Hao said calmly.
“This kid is so weird,” Liu Han exclaimed.
Immediately, there were continuous splashes as Liu Han and his companions were all knocked away, falling into the lake.
“Hahaha,” everyone laughed heartily. The people in the lake turned pale and then flushed red with embarrassment. It was truly humiliating.
This was just a small episode. These people were extremely embarrassed and didn’t dare to come ashore from Shi Hao’s side. They all swam to the opposite shore.
“Could this brother consider parting with that item? We missed out on that bone at the auction and would like to buy it at a high price now,” a young man approached and said.
He seemed to be from the same sect as the Thunder Clan Miss and had arrived at the Qinglin Garden with her. He had also appeared at the auction that day.
Shi Hao’s mind stirred. His spiritual sense was extremely sharp and had already sensed that this might be a powerful pure-blooded being. The Thunder Clan was indeed extraordinary.
“Sorry, I’m not looking to trade it,” he shook his head. What a joke; it might be another chapter of the primordial truth, and it couldn’t be lost.
Could it be that the other party had also recognized the bone’s secret chapter?
“That’s really unfortunate. I hope you’ll contact me when you reconsider,” the young man said.
“The exchange meeting has begun. Let’s see what treasures appear.” Someone said from afar, and even the princesses of the royal family quickly went over.
The Miss of the Thunder Clan and the pure-blooded being also set off, entering that area.
The gathering of geniuses in the imperial capital not only involved sparring but also exchanging magical artifacts. It was a rare opportunity for interaction.
In fact, sometimes it also became a treasure contest for royal family members, competing to see whose magical artifact was more powerful. Those with grievances might even come to blows.
This year was particularly lively because, in addition to these geniuses, some treasure shop representatives had been invited, each bringing their store’s treasures.
The treasure exchange segment naturally required these people. With their presence, the treasure contest would be more exciting.
“There’s something I need here,” as he approached, the small tower in Shi Hao’s hair began to shake and communicated to him.
“These are some ancient treasures excavated from a ruin. Although they are broken, there are still fine items among them. Not long ago, we even found a sacred artifact among them.”
The person from a prestigious weapon shop in the imperial capital had not only brought several treasured items but also a bundle containing some broken ancient artifacts, such as a wolf-tooth dagger and a dragon tendon bow. Though they were in poor condition, their former splendor was evident.
“Such things used to be good, but they have worn out over time and are now unrecognizable,” many people observed but eventually shook their heads and left.
Shi Hao successfully bought the wolf-tooth dagger at a low price. It was severely damaged and almost broken.
In a secluded area, the small tower quickly swallowed it and then directly told Shi Hao that it could save him again.
“You’re so generous. What exactly was that?” Shi Hao was quite surprised. How could this fellow be so magnanimous and not be stingy with his offer?
“That wasn’t a wolf’s tooth but a dragon’s tooth,” the small tower replied.
Shi Hao was instantly furious. What? A dragon’s tooth was just eaten like that?
“To be precise, it was a dragon’s cub’s tooth, not a true dragon’s tooth,” the small tower clarified. It had sensed the aura of this dagger in the imperial capital earlier and didn’t expect it to be brought here, saving some effort.
Shi Hao sighed and then remained calm. Now, even if he fought with others, including Shi Zitang and those behind him, he was not afraid.
“Ancient demon spider, you drove my grandfather away, and there must be an explanation.”
He murmured to himself, now revealing his true self without fear, ready to cause a stir in the imperial capital and then withdraw unscathed.
“Grandpa, I want to tell you that I’m still alive and in this world. You will hear news of me soon,” Shi Hao clenched his fist.
