The first thousand two hundred and fifty-six chapters
It's been a month, and there's still no news about the shortage, and I still haven't left the country.
Two months have passed, and the Tianshen Academy area is still covered by a large formation. There has been no change, and no news has been sent out.
In the outside world, some people raised the corners of their mouths and couldn't help laughing. They felt that disasters were more likely to be bad than successful, and that failures outweighed successes.
"Two months have passed and I haven't come out yet. What are you doing? Are you giving birth like a woman? Haha!"
"There are countless people from ancient times in the Immortal Academy who have achieved nirvana one after another. They have emerged from the barrier of life and death. There is not a single perfect seed in the immortal courtyard. They are still sitting in the barrier and still persevering. It is really ridiculous to say it!"
Two months have passed, and there is still no movement in Huang. This silence has caused some rumors from the outside world, and some people are ridiculing it.
Many people think that his retreat is a failure!
Without a Tao seed that matches his own talent, there is no chance to change his fate against the will of heaven. What can he do to break through? There is no way to rise.
With his qualifications, there should be no problem in becoming a strong leader, but everyone knows that he will not give in. News has spread that he has been preparing for war to become a top figure in one fell swoop.
But this is very unrealistic. He has no suitable ancient species for practicing ancient methods. If he takes the path of contemporary methods, he does not get the full support of the Holy Court, and the two houses do not open the door to heaven for him!
Three months have passed, but there is still no movement from Shi Hao. In the depths of Tianshen Academy, where the great elder lives, wormwood has grown. With the nourishment of spiritual energy, it can be said to have grown wildly, reaching the height of a person.
The place is overgrown with weeds, lacks popularity, and looks dilapidated.
No one came to take care of it, because the great elder had ordered that no one should come near, so as not to disturb Shi Hao who was in retreat.
"Can Huang really make an amazing breakthrough?"
"Definitely better than ordinary people, but he doesn't have the seeds that suit him. It's impossible for him to stand shoulder to shoulder with those peerless monsters."
"It's a pity that without the attention of the two houses, Huang is destined to decline, and it will be difficult to embark on a brilliant path. In the future, he will be much better than us, far better than ordinary geniuses, but he has lost the ability to compete with the top talents of the two houses.
Qualifications."
Even some students who stayed in Tianshen Academy had this view. They were no longer optimistic about him, because this was the cruel reality. Without the help of the two academies, there was no bright future.
People in this hospital are still like this, let alone the outside world. Some people who were once enemies are sneering, waiting to see Shi Hao's joke.
Especially as one powerful hero came out one after another, the smiles of those people became thicker and thicker, and they could already see the bleak path that Shi Hao would take to suffer all the consequences.
"Haha, I'm waiting for him to show up. I really look forward to seeing Huang." Someone chuckled, the expression on his face was calm and a little cold.
Amid everyone's speculation and some people's hostility, Shi Hao has always been in seclusion.
At this time, at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, Shi Hao did not know how many medicine pools he had to go through, tortured and tempered in every way, from medicinal baths to poisonous attacks, to adding weapons to his body, endlessly.
For example, he was ruthlessly picked up by the great elder with a bronze war spear, and his whole body was covered with horrific wounds and riddled with holes. It was too horrible to look at.
Then, he was baptized with medicinal liquid. During this process, Shi Hao endured severe pain, performed the hammer bone method, and practiced in a hellish situation.
According to what the Great Elder said, Shi Hao and his generation seem to have experienced a lot, but in fact they are far from it. The hardships and pains they have suffered are limited and far from enough. They are all flowers in the greenhouse.
When the real turmoil begins, it will be a hell on earth. There will be endless battles, and you will be plagued by injuries and illnesses all the time. If you don't have a body like a hundred-refined diamond, just that scene will frighten people and lose their fighting spirit.
This is not intentional torture, but truly tempering his muscles, bones, and skin, forging an immortal golden body, and allowing him to reach the most ideal state.
"If you want to make a living, don't even think about it if you don't have a perfect body, otherwise it will disintegrate and explode in the middle."
During this period of time, Shi Hao's body was smashed by the sacred mountain and almost turned into a puddle of meat. It was even cut into a white skeleton by the Wanren soldiers.
Even so, the Great Elder kept letting Shi Hao move his hammer bone, and his nerves, as strong as Shi Hao's, almost collapsed.
He gritted his teeth and persisted, without complaining or howling, and could only go all the way to the end. Because, the great elder said, the suffering now is for the butterfly transformation in the near future, and for the perfect rebirth!
The Great Elder has also walked this road before, but unfortunately, he failed. Therefore, he trained Shi Hao countless times, treating him as a piece of precious iron that he wanted to polish into immortal gold. He must succeed!
After three months, Shi Hao had transitioned from tempering* to tempering his spirit. It was obvious that the latter was more dangerous.
During this process, the Great Elder tried his best to stimulate his spirit, forge his soul, and constantly forced him to squeeze his potential.
"Second Soul!"
The great elder had great expectations for him and forced him to forge the second soul, because his mental power was very strong, far beyond that of the gods of the same realm.
The silver spiritual fireworks were burning brightly, and Shi Hao's second soul was growing, and in the end it was lifelike. It was exactly the same as Shi Hao's first soul, only slightly smaller.
"This..." The great elder was secretly surprised. He just wanted the young man to try it, but he didn't expect to actually build a thick body. He wanted to use this method to train his soul and spirit, but he didn't expect that it would succeed.
At this time, Shi Hao had a strange feeling. There were two of him, multitasking. It was strange and wonderful. It could be said to be a new kind of new life.
In this case, can he do a lot of things?
However, the great elder's next words dispelled his idea.
"The great road is simple, only the essence is the only one. Any external incarnation, any puppet soul, any second legal body, and any third bodyless body are all detours, all short-term glory, and they will be crushed in the end.
Once broken, there is only one original self that is true and the only way.”
The so-called simplicity of the great road is not just talk. The second soul, external incarnations, etc. are only means on the road to cultivation, not the supreme road to go on.
"Being born in the world, we ourselves are also a piece of heaven and earth, an embryonic universe. We already have everything. All we have to do is to evolve, sublimate, transcend, and then reach the peak to shape our true self. Instead of superfluous and adding anything extra to ourselves.
body and soul." The great elder said very straightforwardly.
What he said may not necessarily be the truth, but it does make sense. Perhaps it is limited to the level of life. He is not the strongest true immortal master in ancient times, so what he said may be wrong. But it is generally Jin Gui's mantra.
Not long after, Shi Hao's second soul was regarded as a pile of divine flames by himself, burning his first soul. The fire was rising and rising, and it was submerged into the main soul.
The second spirit became nourishment and strengthened the main spirit.
It can be said that from the differentiation of the second soul to the smelting and unification, it is like a kind of forging, tempering in every possible way and striving for excellence.
Treat the soul as a piece of iron embryo, constantly temper it, grind away the impurities in the soul, make it pure and flawless, and turn it into hundreds of refined steel and ten thousand refined immortal gold.
This is not the end, it is the beginning!
"The God Forging Technique comes from the Immortal Academy. It is obvious that the peerless geniuses there have also undergone such transformations. It's just that you have to do it better and do it as much as possible!" the great elder warned.
In the end, the Great Elder taught Shi Hao some more peculiar ancient techniques. They were no longer limited to the secret techniques of the Immortal Academy.
He asked Shi Hao to forge the soul into a weapon instead of a second soul. This was very dangerous, but it also sharpened one's own will. It was a transcendent path.
If you fail, you will die on the spot, leaving an unconscious flesh shell. If you succeed, your energy and spirit will gradually become stronger!
At first, the main spirit was still there, dancing there with weapons made from the power of the spirit, and the scene was astonishing.
Later, the main spirit disappeared, and he became a sword embryo, transformed into a golden war spear, hammered into an indestructible heavenly sword, etc.!
This is very astonishing. It has been shaped and tempered in all kinds of ways, allowing the soul to repeatedly forge it, removing its so-called impurities, leaving the essence behind, and further strengthening it.
Shi Hao couldn't help but trembled: "Isn't this the art of calming chaos?"
That kind of weapon, which is known as one of the three most powerful sword techniques in history, during the Immortal Era, killed foreign invaders with rivers of blood and mountains of bones, and pacified an era!
And this method is to turn the soul into a sword body, which is infinitely powerful. Wherever it passes, mountains collapse, tsunamis, and stars collapse. Nothing can stop its blow!
"It's just a residual technique. It's fine for training the soul. If you want to attack, it's not enough. This kind of mysterious power was mysterious and unpredictable in the Immortal Era. It has always been passed down alone. It is too difficult to get it."
Shi Hao's soul continued to be sharpened, becoming more and more refined and very powerful.
Not long after, the great elder took out a weapon. It was as red as a soldering iron and shaped like a red gold mace. It had eighteen joints and was designed to hit people's souls.
This is a soul weapon, created to kill the soul.
It is conceivable how terrifying Shi Hao's next journey will be. Using his soul to fight against soul weapons is extremely dangerous, and he may very well be killed directly.
"Your physical body can fight against divine weapons. It is very powerful. It is transforming into an immortal golden body. The soul should also be like this. It is better to be able to fight against Horcruxes!"
The Great Elder made it clear that there are very terrifying Horcruxes in foreign lands. The great defeat of this realm in the last years of the Immortal Ancient was due to the opponent's deployment of many Horcruxes, which caused huge losses to the creatures in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Among them, there were several supreme Horcruxes that killed true immortals and destroyed the souls of some creatures of that level, shocking the world.
When Shi Hao heard this, he took a breath of cold air. He was silent at first, and then asked the great elder to continuously use the red gold mace to attack his soul. He used his * soul to fight with his bare hands.
"It seems that the Peace of Chaos Technique is far more precious than imagined. One day, I will not only make my physical body immortal, but also cultivate my soul to the point where it is indestructible and not afraid of any attacks!" Shi Hao looked solemn.
Obviously, since the Chaotic Art can forge the soul into a weapon, kill countless enemies, and destroy all obstacles, it must make the soul extremely strong.
Even the attacks are so sharp and invincible, not to mention the passive defense of Horcruxes, which is a supreme ancient method!
Four months have passed and Shi Hao has not left seclusion.
Five months have passed, and Tianshen Academy is still very peaceful.
Half a year has passed, and some people in the outside world are shaking their heads. What surprises can there be for a genius with no hope who has been in seclusion for so long?
"Well, four of the wizards from the Immortal Academy have come out of seclusion, and almost all of the strongest people from the Holy Academy have appeared, and everything has been successful. But Huang is still missing. Can I say that he has a lot of airs, haha...
..." Someone laughed.
"It didn't take such a long time for those young supremes to have perfect ancient seeds, but Huang is so 'reserved' and shy and refuses to come out. They are really shy and cute, hehe!"
Some people sneered, unabashed ridicule and sarcasm, and many people were waiting to see Shi Hao make a fool of himself. (To be continued)
