Perfect World

- Divine Medicine Mountain Range

Shi Hao quickly charged forward, there was no way he would stop here. Only when he was far away from those Iron Blood Ancient Trees did he stop.

In the mountain range, plants flourished, ancient trees towering into the heavens. From time to time, vicious beasts would roar, ferocious birds would spread their wings and circle in the skies above, casting giant shadows on the ground.

“Who was he?!” Shi Hao stared into the distant skies, revealing a vicious expression. That person was extremely indistinct, difficult to see his true figure, deliberately hiding his true appearance.

There was one thing that was certain, this wasn’t a youngster, or else this type of cultivation definitely couldn’t be achieved. He was in the Self Release Realm, an extremely powerful cultivator.

Shi Hao’s eyes were deep like clouds, a wave of anger stirring within him. This should be someone from within Imperial Pass, yet he actually attacked him. If not for his speed being fast enough, and the Iron Blood Ancient Trees interfering, he would have definitely been hit.

Great cultivators in the Self Release Realm, just how terrifying were they? If they truly hit him, if nothing unexpected happened, he would most likely explode on the spot, difficult for him to continue living!

“What clan’s creature is he from?” Shi Hao asked himself.

The other party came from Imperial Pass, belonging to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths’ camp, yet he actually targeted the same side, dealing with him like this. Shi Hao clenched his fists tightly, his face carrying cold intent. This was intolerable.

“Who are you? Why do you wish to kill me?” Shi Hao transmitted sound from atop a mountain range.

“Little brother, you overthought things. I only feared that you were in danger, worried that you would lose your life after rushing into the Divine Medicine Mountain Range. This is a dangerous location, so I wanted to lend you a helping hand.” A hoarse voice sounded, difficult to make out the true sound quality.

This person stood at the limits of the horizon, becoming more and more blurry. He didn’t approach, fearing that the Iron Blood Ancient Trees would act out.

Shi Hao’s gaze became cold, a wave of anger rising within him. This person clearly took action against him, wishing for him to die here, yet he actually used this type of excuse.

“With your cultivation, if you wanted to kill me, then just say it, is there a point in trying to cover things up like this? From this, I can see that you are extremely hypocritical, an innate tendency.” Shi Hao said coldly.

He couldn’t deal with this person before him, and right now, he was most likely going to be trapped within the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, so he could only ridicule the other party like this. Shi Hao sighed inwardly, his cultivation was still not high enough, or else he would directly slaughter his way over, capture this person.

“Aright, since little brother actually misunderstands me, then you can just assume I came to kill you. It makes no difference.” That individual in the horizon didn’t seem to mind at all.

Then, he spoke with a deep and cold voice, “Wu, let me offer you a reminder. The Divine Medicine Mountain Range is not some kind place, there are many people who went in to pick medicines, but eighty percent of them all died, never coming back out.”

“I don’t need you to worry about me. If you want to kill me, then just come over, of course, on the premise that you can defeat those Iron Blood Ancient Trees. Otherwise, just get out of my sight!” Shi Hao said.

“Heh heh, alright, since you are unhappy, then I will leave quickly. When the time comes, I’ll find some people to come save you.” After saying this, this mysterious person was surprisingly decisive, taking a step out. A great golden path reached out who knew how many tens of thousands of li, directly entering the depths of the great desert, thus disappearing.

This was a reflection of profound cultivation and exceptional strength. Shi Hao was definitely far from being this type of people’s opponents. The other party’s level was too high, enough to suppress him.

Shi Hao became quiet. Only when he saw the last bit of golden light disappear, did he turn around and walk into the mountain range.

The mysterious person spoke the truth, this Divine Medicine Mountain Range was a danger land, normal people would most likely die here. There was a chance to lose one’s life around every corner, great dangers lurking everywhere.

Otherwise, the divine medicines in this mountain range would have long been picked clean, how could they last until today?

Divine Medicine Mountain Range, as the name implies, there were divine medicines planted here, moreover definitely not just a single stalk or two. Otherwise, there was no reason to have this name.

“This place really is large…” Shi Hao was a bit speechless. After wandering around, passing over thousands of li, he felt like he was still strolling around the outskirts.

He thought that the Divine Medicine Mountain Range was only a mysterious ancient land that produced ancient medicines in abundance, that it wouldn’t be too vast, but now, it seemed like he was mistaken.

“It can’t be as vast as the great desert outside, right?” Shi Hao was a bit dizzy. If things really were like that, just how difficult would it be to pick a stalk of divine medicine? If this place was boundless, it would be too hard to find.

Of course, he came mainly because it was along the way. He wanted to enter the strange place surrounded by Divine Medicine Mountain Range, Heavenly Beast Forest, and Ancient Burial Region, these three places!

This was the location recorded on the beast skin, unforeseeable things awaiting within. There was natural luck within that even the Nine Heavens’ restricted region’s lord desired!

Originally, he wanted to find a suitable path while moving along the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, head to the secret land this way, but he ended up being pursued by a mysterious individual who wanted to kill him, so he couldn’t walk outside. He could only hide within the Divine Medicine Mountain Forest to prevent the other party from doing anything.

Fortunately, after walking quite some distance, he got on top of an extremely massive mountain range. He activated his Heavenly Eyes, then gazed into the distance, roughly understanding that it shouldn’t be as vast as the desert.

Xiu!

A small bird threw itself over. It was only the size of a palm, but it dared to attack Shi Hao!

At first, Shi Hao didn’t notice anything, just waving his hand out, but his expression immediately changed. This was a Self Severing Realm vicious bird, its attacks extremely ferocious.

This little bird looked extremely strange, it had the head of a lion and a bird body, its body covered in golden stripes, quite unusual in appearance. When it rushed over, the void collapsed.

Dong!

Shi Hao went all out, not relaxing in the slightest. His fist smashed outwards, sending this small bird flying outwards. It crashed into a distant mountain peak.

The rubble that rushed everywhere scattered the clouds, the mountain peak smashed apart. This small bird’s aura was terrifying, large rocks flying about as it rushed out from the smoke and dust. It continuously screamed out loud.

In that instant, thousands upon thousands of these lion-headed, bird-bodied little monsters appeared, all of them incomparably vicious. They were everywhere, descending onto this place like rain.

Shi Hao’s scalp went numb. There were actually this many of these vicious birds?

The only fortunate thing was that when he carefully examined this place, he discovered that not every one of these birds were in the Self Severing Realm. Otherwise, there was no path of life to speak of at all.

Despite this being the case, it was still extremely dangerous, because there were too many of these things, some Void Dao Realm and Self Severing Realm Devil Birds mixed within, secretly attacking.

Shi Hao activated the Lightning Emperor Precious Technique, not holding back, unleashing a great massacre. If he didn’t take action, he might be devoured by them, so he attacked with full power.

In that instant, bird feathers flew everywhere. A rain of blood scattered down, quite a few vicious bird corpses fell into the mountain region.

However, soon afterwards, Shi Hao’s expression changed, because he discovered that the buzzing sounds in the distance were earsplitting, covering even the skies. He found this a bit hard to believe, just what kind of species was this?

Shi Hao immediately turned around to leave. He couldn’t remain in this type of place at all, he wouldn’t be able to kill them all. If he really stayed behind here, he would become exhausted and die in this place.

Moreover, he felt a wave of icy-cold killing intent. In the distant skies, there was a great mournful cry, a one zhang long Devil Bird. It was a similar form as the little bird he saw before, but it was much bigger.

“Self Release Realm!” Shi Hao’s expression changed, immediately running. This was a dangerous place with too many unpredictable dangers after all.

Chi!

He directly entered the great earth, because he was worried of being chased after by the Self Release Realm Devil Bird.

Hong!

However, he underestimated that Devil Bird. Even from high up in the sky, with great distance between them, with just a flap of its wings, the nearby great mountains were collapsed. With a honglong sound, the great earth even collapsed, the black great cracks extending out who knew how many li.

One had to understand that these were the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, Heavenly Beast Forest, and other danger spots. For some reason, the earth was rigid, great mountains sturdy, difficult to break through, yet despite all of this, he never expected to see mountain collapse as soon as he entered.

Shi Hao’s expression changed. This vicious bird was far more powerful than he imagined, making him realize just how terrifying Self Release Realm cultivators were. Now, he was truly facing one.

“Even the mountain ridges that are known to be extremely difficult to destroy have been flattened, this vicious bird cannot be faced head-on!” Shi Hao said quietly. After he made his way into the ground, he used an escape method, quickly departing into the distance.

Only, this vicious bird was powerful beyond his imagination, directly smashing into the ground as well, pursuing him. It beated its wings, quickly chasing after him.

Along the way, anything that stood in its path, with a flap of its wings, would be destroyed. Mountains broke apart, the ground collapsed, there was nothing that could withstand its power!

Shi Hao was extremely fast, but he wasn’t familiar with the terrain at all. After going underground, he unexpectedly smashed into a strange region. There was a great domain here that restricted his speed.

Hong!

That Devil Bird immediately arrived, bringing its heirs, incredibly powerful, surrounding Shi Hao.

Pu!

Shi Hao coughed out blood. That Devil Bird’s wings smashed over, powerful beyond compare, destroying the ground. Even though it didn’t truly hit him, the boundless divine force directly sent him flying.

“Truly savage!” Shi Hao turned around to run. There was no hope of victory, the difference between them too great. This was a gap that could not be crossed.

He released a light sigh. Could it be that he was going to face a life and death tribulation as soon as he entered the Divine Medicine Mountain Range?

In the back, that Devil Bird chased after him, the distance being closed.

Shi Hao’s scalp felt numb. He rushed out of the ground, arriving on the servance. That mysterious domain immediately disappeared, and he moved with extreme speed.

He fled into a quiet place. This place actually didn’t have plants, incredibly desolate, quiet to the extreme.

On the ground were quite a few dried-up bones, a few skeletal remains shining. One could tell even without thinking too deeply that they possessed great divine abilities when they were alive!

“En? A fragrance? It is so strong! Even from so far away, it still makes one feel as if they are ascending.” Shi Hao was shocked.

Then, he looked into the distance. There were divine medicines running, speed extremely fast, moreover not just a single one, but rather a group!

They were golden, purple, scarlet red, those medicinal herbs could move on the ground, run on the surface, this was just too strange. They were resplendent and dazzling, a rain of light spreading.

That type of vitality didn’t match the peacefulness here.

“I encountered divine medicine, moreover a group of them!” Shi Hao was a bit stupefied.

Right at this time, the Devil Bird in the back also arrived in this region. However, it didn’t attack, its expression instead changing, turning around and leaving, not following over.

Shi Hao was shocked. Even that Devil Bird backed off, watching him from afar, not daring to approach. What kind of place was this?

He felt some hesitation. There were too many skeletal remains on the ground, some of heavenly deities, but even more of them belonging to Void Dao Realm cultivators. Apart from this, there were also Self Severing Realm cultivators.

It was to the extent where he saw Self Release Realm corpse, deducing this from the imperishable remains and mysterious aura they released after their deaths.

“Is this the center of the danger spot?” Shi Hao hesitated.

He wanted to withdraw, but he discovered that the rear was cut off by that Devil Bird. It was constantly watching him, not giving him the room to escape.

Right now, he could only move forward, only by making it through this place could he leave.

At the same time, there was a creature that was moving across Desolate Border, passing over the great desert, entering this verdant land, and then into the foreign side!

This was a creature from Imperial Pass’ side, right now heading into the foreign region.

“Wu, this region truly is fascinating, heaven and earth essence too rich. Moreover, the great dao harmonizes so well with me, heh heh, it naturally suits me, a place of illumination. I am looking forward to the next meeting with them.”
