In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
The day everyone has been waiting for—the trial at Hundred Broken Mountains—has finally arrived!
thump -- thump -- thump --
The ancient and melodious bell tolled throughout the entire Butian Pavilion, like a rallying cry!
All the disciples who qualified for the trial emerged from their respective caves or cultivation grounds, converging on the largest gathering square within the pavilion like rivers flowing into the sea.
Shi Hao also arrived at the square early with Maoqiu.
Looking around, the square was already packed with people, a sea of black, numbering in the thousands!
These disciples were of varying ages, ranging from teenagers to young adults in their twenties. They were all full of energy, with sharp eyes and a powerful aura. Clearly, they were all elites of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion!
They either gathered in small groups, whispering amongst themselves, their eyes filled with anticipation and longing for Baiduan Mountain; or they sat alone, closing their eyes to rest and adjust their state, exuding a powerful confidence.
Shi Hao's appearance caused another small commotion.
"Look! That little guy is Shi Hao!"
"He's going to Hundred Broken Mountains too? Really?"
"I heard he's incredibly powerful; he even defeated several senior brothers at the Cave Heaven Realm..."
"Hmph, he's just relying on his strong physique! The Hundred Broken Mountains are fraught with danger; you can't get through them by brute force alone!"
Various gazes fell upon Shi Hao, but he paid no attention, merely observing the so-called "prodigies" around him with curiosity, silently evaluating them in his heart:
"Hmm, this aura is alright, it's barely enough to open up four or five cave heavens."
"That one seems more powerful; its grotto-heaven is quite perfect, but its foundation is a bit weak."
"Huh? That guy... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before? Oh, I remember now, that unlucky guy from the Void God Realm whose stuff I stole..."
Just as he was making his comments, Xia Youyu came to his side. Today, she was wearing a light blue outfit that was easy to move in, which made her look even more elegant and dashing.
"Are you ready, junior brother?" Xia Youyu asked with a smile, her eyes filled with encouragement.
"Yes!" Shi Hao nodded vigorously.
Soon, several elders of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, whose auras were as deep as an abyss and whose depths were completely unfathomable, appeared on the high platform in front of the square.
The white-haired elder at the head of the group surveyed the entire area with a stern gaze and said in a deep voice, "The Hundred Broken Mountain Trial is a grand event for our Heaven-Mending Pavilion, and also a golden opportunity for you to obtain opportunities and prove yourselves! The rules need no further explanation. Once inside, life and death are left to fate! Opportunities must be fought for with strength! But remember, you must not harm your fellow disciples without cause; violators will be punished according to the pavilion's rules!"
"Now, all disciples, prepare to depart!"
With the elder's command, he waved his sleeve!
Soon, the Sacrificial Spirit Vine of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion made its move, bursting forth with dazzling light, instantly tearing through the void and teleporting everyone away.
There's a secret mission on this trip to Baiduan Mountain: to find the Fountain of Immortality.
Otherwise, the sacrificial spirit would truly perish.
……
They didn't know how many spaces they had traversed, but when the space stabilized again, they found themselves in a strange void.
Ahead lay a massive spatial rift, resembling a shattered mirror!
At the edge of the crack, space was extremely distorted, exuding a dangerous yet mysterious aura.
Through the crack, one can vaguely see a bizarre and fantastical scene inside, as if it were pieced together from countless broken worlds!
Soon, the group arrived at Broken Sky City.
That place is Baiduan Mountain!
The Hundred Broken Mountains had not yet officially opened, and Shi Hao did not cause any trouble, staying quietly at his post.
A few days later, strange phenomena occurred in the heavens and earth.
Baiduan Mountain is officially open!
"The entrance to Hundred Broken Mountains is now open! Enter immediately! Remember, danger and opportunity coexist! Take care of yourselves!" The white-haired elder gave another warning.
Immediately, numerous disciples of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion transformed into streaks of light and rushed into the shattered spatial rift!
Other creatures from various races, such as the cubs of the ancient remnants, also rushed in.
"Let's go too!" Xia Youyu said to Shi Hao.
Shi Hao nodded and followed Xia Youyu into the Hundred Broken Mountains!
As soon as he entered, Shi Hao felt a strong sense of spatial distortion! The scene before him changed rapidly like a kaleidoscope!
He could clearly sense that the spatial laws here were extremely chaotic, as if they could collapse at any moment!
The concentration of the essence of heaven and earth is also high and low, extremely unstable!
At the same time, a desolate, ancient, yet vibrant and endlessly dangerous aura swept over us!
This is Baiduan Mountain! A broken ancient world full of unknowns and possibilities!
Soon, the space stabilized. Shi Hao found himself, Xia Youyu, and some disciples of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, landing in a dense primeval forest.
Ancient trees towered all around, vines covered the ground, and strange roars of beasts could be heard from time to time.
"It seems we've been randomly teleported to different areas." Xia Youyu observed her surroundings and said, "Junior Brother Shi Hao, Hundred Broken Mountains are fraught with danger. We'd better stick together and look out for each other."
However, Shi Hao shook his head: "No, Sister Youyu. I want to go for a walk by myself."
While following the group is safe, nothing beats the thrill of treasure hunting alone! Besides, he has the fur ball on his shoulder as a "treasure-hunting radar"!
Xia Youyu was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked worried: "By yourself? That's too dangerous! You're still so young..."
"Don't worry, sister, I can take care of myself." Shi Hao smiled confidently. "Besides, there's Maoqiu and Daqing too."
Looking at Shi Hao's confident demeanor and recalling his terrifying achievements in the Void God Realm, Xia Youyu could only nod helplessly: "Well... alright. Be careful! This is a communication talisman. If you encounter any danger you can't handle, notify me immediately!"
She handed Shi Hao a specially made communication jade talisman.
"Alright! Thank you, Sister Youyu!" Shi Hao accepted the gift without hesitation. "Then I'll be going now! Take care, Sister!"
After saying that, he waved his little hand at Xia Youyu, then hugged the fur ball and disappeared into the depths of the forest in a flash.
"Sigh..." Xia Youyu could only sigh helplessly as she watched his disappearing figure. Then she began to organize the other disciples of the Butian Pavilion around her and carefully explored into the depths of the forest.
……
Having broken away from the main force, Shi Hao was like a dragon entering the sea or a tiger returning to the mountains!
He made the furball use its treasure-hunting instincts, specifically heading towards areas rich in the essence of heaven and earth, or radiating a precious light!
Along the way, they discovered many strange medicinal herbs and rare minerals.
Of course, the fierce beasts guarding these days (with 2 groups of materials and 8939 treasures) also appeared one after another!
But these ferocious beasts, which would give even cultivators at the Cave Heaven Realm a headache in the outside world, were no match for Shi Hao at all!
Encountering a group of incredibly strong pangolins covered in stone armor? Shi Hao immediately activated his Eight Cave Heavens, using his even greater physical strength to smash them all into pieces!
Encountering a thousand-year-old tree demon capable of controlling plants and spreading vines? Shi Hao immediately unleashed the flames of the Vermilion Bird Technique, burning its lair to the ground!
He even encountered a late-stage Cave Heaven Realm Poisonous Dragon with a talent for extreme venom, capable of spewing corrosive poisonous mist!
Shi Hao directly activated the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art," and a faint power of reincarnation appeared on his body, making him immune to all poisons!
Then he rushed up and struck the lion with lightning to kill it!
He was like an invincible humanoid mythical beast, rampaging through this primeval jungle!
Wherever it goes, ferocious beasts flee in terror! Divine herbs suffer!
"Squeak! Squeak!"
On this day, the fur ball on the shoulder suddenly cried out excitedly, its little paws pointing incessantly at a misty valley ahead.
"Oh? Another good thing?" Shi Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran towards the direction the fur ball pointed.
After passing through the thick clouds and fog, the view suddenly opened up before us!
In the center of the valley, there was a spring with crystal-clear water, as clear as jade!
The spring is not large, only about ten feet in diameter, but it exudes an extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth that is almost tangible!
Above the spring, wisps of white mist even rose and condensed, transforming into various tiny phantoms of spirit beasts playing around!
"A spiritual spring?! And such a high-quality spiritual spring!" Shi Hao was overjoyed!
This spiritual spring water is not only drinkable and quickly replenishes energy, but it also makes cultivation twice as effective! Even watering spiritual herbs with it can enhance their efficacy! It is truly a rare treasure!
"Maoqiu! Well done!" Shi Hao excitedly rubbed Maoqiu's little head.
However, just as he was about to step forward and "take away" this sacred spring—
call out!call out!call out!
Several sizzling sounds suddenly came from the other side of the valley!
Immediately afterwards, more than ten figures landed beside the spiritual spring like fiery meteors!
Leading the group was a young woman dressed in a fiery red dress, with a graceful figure, delicate features, and a hint of pride between her brows!
Behind her followed more than ten guards, all dressed in fiery red and exuding a fierce aura, clearly from a powerful force!
When Shi Hao saw the girl's face clearly, he was slightly taken aback.
This girl... she looks familiar... Could she be Princess Huo Ling'er of the Fire Kingdom?!
That's right! It's her!
I never expected to run into you here!
Just as Shi Hao was sizing up Huo Ling'er, Huo Ling'er also noticed him and the spiritual spring beside him.
"Huh? Such pure spiritual spring water!" Huo Ling'er's eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. Then her gaze fell on Shi Hao, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with a princess-like imperiousness, she said crisply, "Hey! You little brat over there! This princess has taken a liking to this spiritual spring water! You'd better leave now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
She didn't seem to recognize that Shi Hao was the one in the Void God Realm who "loved to drink beast milk the most".
After all, the appearance of the virtual god realm may be different from that of reality, and Shi Hao has also changed a lot. They just thought he was a disciple of some unknown small force or a rogue cultivator, and wanted to drive him away directly.
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao immediately burst into laughter.
It’s true that we meet everywhere in life!
I was just thinking how fiery this girl was, and here I am again!
