Perfect World

- Cannot Turn Back

The altar shone. The symbols engraved on it were mysterious and ancient, worn by the passage of time, as if it was connected directly to other great eras, carrying a type of desolate aura. It was as if a prehistoric vicious beast hid within every symbol.

Shi Hao’s figure became hazy, about to disappear at any time.

This was the highest level great transport formation passed down since the ancient times. As long as he entered, it would be the same as entering a dimensional space.

The process for leaving the pass was extremely strict, needing great figures to stir on the altar from the inside. As such, as long as this transport formation was activated, Shi Hao could leave this place at any time, enter the great desert’s army, unable to turn back again!

“I will ask them to establish a blood oath!”

Jin Taijun spoke, still extremely calm. She took a step out, leaving the altar below the city gate. She returned to the majestic wall that towered into the heavens.

At the same time, there were quite a few people who came down, all important people from Jin Family, as well as their followers.

Of course, there were Du Family, Pixiu, and other great clan’s leaders. They also wanted to see the so-called blood oath establishment process, personally see this period of peace established.

“This old hag, she is in this much of a hurry?” The Heavenly Horned Ant feared nothing, saying furiously to himself. He wasn’t scared of anyone else hearing him either.

Not far out, the expressions of those under the Jin Family became extremely cold. Many of them looked over, carrying chilly auras.

It was to the extent where someone released a cold snort as a warning, used as a threat and intimidation.

“Is there something with your throat? What are you randomly snorting for?!” The Heavenly Horned Ant immediately glared out.

“You all better not cross the line!” Someone from among Jin’s people berated.

“Just the sight of you all annoys me. Are you all still Imperial Pass’ creatures? Actually intentionally forcing someone out! You all still have the face to show me attitude here, just hurry up and crawl back behind that old hag! You really are too unsightly here, be careful not to incur public anger!” The Heavenly Horned Ant said furiously.

“Youngster, do not be too fickle and impatient. If you speak too overbearingly, it is easy for problems to occur.” Someone said coldly.

“Get lost!” The Heavenly Horned Ant only had these two words for him.

Right now, even the well-tempered Qing Yi was angry, facing those people.

At the same time, Chang Gongyan, Ten Crown King, witch, Exiled Immortal, all of the youngsters who came with Shi Hao from the three thousand provinces all stood up, looked at those people coldly.

Even Shi Yi opened his dual pupils, primal chaos light erupting, coldly staring over.

Then, Great Xu Tuo, Little Sky King, Lan Xian, even Imperial Pass’ Tuogu Yulong, Qi Hong, and Wei Family’s Four Phoenixes stood out, staring at those people angrily.

Meanwhile, many cultivators, some of the great leaders couldn’t continue watching this, their expressions all unkind, carrying coldness, staring at them, revealing a wave of killing intent.

“Senior, look…” Someone from under Jin family looked towards an unmatched being.

“Shut your mouth!” Qi Hong’s master, the original owner of the Five Spirits War Chariot roared. Those people’s faces immediately turned deathly pale, blood flowing out from the corners of their mouths, almost exploding on the spot.

These people shivered coldly, not daring to stick out anymore. They all rushed towards the sky, flying towards the top of the wall, the place where the clans who agreed to hand over Shi Hao gathered.

It was because the people who had similar thoughts as them wished to see the blood oath made.

“That old hag really is something! Is she really just in this much of a rush, pushing Shi Hao into the pits of hell?” The Heavenly Horned Ant really was someone with quite the temper.

Jin Taijun on the city wall was communicating with those on the other side after all.

Soon afterwards, a blood color extended into the great desert, surging violently like a sea of blood, too crazy, leaving everyone shaken, drowning out the great desert.

This was just a drop of blood, yet it engulfed the entire boundless desert battlefield. At first, it was red, then it turned into five colors. Blood surged, a matchless aura overflowing into the heavens!

Even in the city, with Imperial Pass’ protection, everyone still shook, as if they were going to kneel down. This was unmatched pressure.

One could imagine if it wasn’t for Imperial Pass’ protection, everyone would fall weak onto the ground, unable to endure that type of higher level terrifying pressure at all.

A drop of blood gathered on a golden decree, releasing a heavy and grand ancient voice, as if a demonic sovereign was making a vow, as if there was an Immortal King chanting sutras. It was just too intimidating.

In that instant, irregular scenes appeared one after another in this world, the great dao of the void appearing endlessly, turning into immortal phoenixes, spreading their wings, condensing into True Dragons that coiled about, also gathering into Kun Pengs that tore apart the sky dome.

Apart from this, sweet springs gushed out from the withered great desert, golden seeds falling from the heavens, taking root in the void. Great dao divine chains blossomed, as if this place was undergoing reincarnation, prospering after wilting.

There were streak after streak of black lightning that appeared, blood-colored lightning surrounded by primal chaos, interweaving here, the scene horrifying to the extreme.

Soon afterwards, cheers sounded from above the city wall. It was clear that the blood oath had been completed, both sides reaching a compromise. Some type of power engraved everything.

Jin Family, Wang Family, Du Family, Pixiu, and other clans, quite a few people revealed expressions of joy. Then, they looked at Shi Hao below, just waiting for him to leave the pass.

The city gate was already shaking greatly.

It was because everyone knew that the blood oath had been completed, Shi Hao about to leave the pass, nothing could stop this anymore.

“Why hasn’t he returned yet?” Qing YI was anxious. Chang Gongyan, Lunar Jade Rabbit, and others were all like this. It was because previously, when Cao Yusheng left, they all made moves, either splitting their divine consciousness or moving out spiritual bodies to invite Meng Tianzheng out of seclusion, come save Shi Hao.

However, the blood oath had already formed, yet why hasn’t Great Elder come yet?

Their true bodies didn’t go, because they wanted to keep their eyes on Shi Hao, worried that he might leave first, fearing that they might miss out on this final opportunity.

“The oath has already formed, it is time for you to leave the pass!” Jin Taijun descended. There was a large group of people who followed her, all of them carrying expressions of joy, extremely happy.

They were now just waiting for Shi Hao to leave. This way, they could get five hundred years of peace in return.

On the altar, Shi Hao still never turned around, not looking back, his back towards everyone, not saying a single word.

Qiang!

On his body, a sword flew out, the Everlasting Sword Core. Then, the Lightning Emperor Armor appeared, floating in midair, all types of artifacts appeared afterwards.

Some of them, for example, the Ten Thousand Spirit Diagram and others were stored in spatial magical artifacts.

Chi!

These treasure turned into an expanse of clear light, flying over from where he was, landing at Qing Yi, Heavenly Horned Ant, and others, even Shi Yi’s feet. The weapons were inserted into the ground, the Everlasting Sword Core and others all shaking.

He didn’t bring these treasures with him, wishing to leave them with everyone.

This made everyone’s hearts tremble, their eyes sore as they looked at that rear figure.

Then, Shi Hao was continuously pointing at the space between his brows, the crown of his head, and others, using the cruelest methods to seal his own primordial spirit, trap his sea of consciousness engravings, sealing some things himself, even cutting off some things.

The methods he obtained, some of them were too important. They couldn’t be obtained by the other side.

“I… will come help you!” At this time, even an unmatched being’s voice was trembling, because he knew what he was doing. He couldn’t bear to watch this, not willing to watch a youngster sever his own primordial spirit imprints.

“The most powerful mind sealing, once sealed, even if someone’s cultivation realm is countless times higher than yours, as long as your sea of consciousness is searched, it will touch the seal, at that time… your sea of consciousness will self destruct.” A supreme being said.

Shi Hao didn’t turned around, but he stopped, nodding.

Chi!

Several unmatched experts moved together, assisting this process together. Moreover, it was accompanied by blood oaths, carried out through some type of extremely ancient method, helping Shi Hao establish restrictions around his primordial spirit that prevented outsiders from touching.

“No!!!” The Lunar Jade Rabbit wept.

This meant that once Shi Hao left the city, he might die. It was because once the other side probed his divine senses imprints, it would automatically be activated.

When Qing Yi watched Shi Hao cut away himself, her eyes already became completely red, feeling the urge to cry.

Watching Shi Hao have his mind sealed by the supreme beings with the legendary most terrifying ancient mind sealing methods, she felt great sadness, tears falling.

Chang Gongyan, Lan Xian, Wei Family’s Four Phoenixes and others all felt like this scene was too hard to accept, all of them clenching their fists, the group of youngsters’ noses all sour.

This separation might be eternal!

Aside from a set of unlined garments, he didn’t have anything else on him. All of his treasures were left behind, not bringing anything. He had his back to everyone, no longer saying anything.

“It’s about time you leave.” An old woman next to Jin Taijun said, urging him on.

“Exactly! The blood oath has a limit, if it is not quickly carried out, it’ll fail!” Du Family’s people also spoke up.

“Little friend, is there anything else you wish to say? Please tell me your last wishes!” Qi Hong’s master said.

Shi Hao stood there, not saying anything. In the end, he only shook his head, not saying anything.

“Then just go on your way.” Jin Taijun spoke.

This time, the supreme beings personally activated the altar, all of them full of shame, eyes carrying sadness, constructing a spatial path for Shi Hao.

With a weng sound, the altar became resplendent, light rushing into the heavens.

Shi Hao was surrounded within the radiance, his figure becoming faint, as if it was going to disintegrate here.

“Shi Hao!” A group of people shouted, those youngsters’ eyes all becoming astringent, noses sore. Qing Yi, Lunar Jade Rabbit, and others long broke out in tears.

This separation, would perhaps be eternal. Would they be able to meet in this world again?

At the final juncture, Shi Hao finally turned around, looking towards them, at those familiar faces, carrying reluctance, great emotions, and helplessness.

How could he be willing to leave? However, he still couldn’t head back, he still had to leave.

Shi Hao looked at everyone, his eyes passing over every single one of them. In the end, it was as if it passed through all of them, looking towards the scene behind Imperial Pass.

In that instant, he was full of reluctance, unwillingness, really wishing to remember every single person, see all of his old friends. The appearances of many people appeared in his heart.

In a daze, he saw Stone Village, the place where he spent his joyous childhood, free from worry, the time when he was undisciplined and out of control, stubborn and mischievous in the great wilderness. Grandpa Chief also became old, waiting for him, always reading his name. The uncles, aunts, and comrades in the village all reminisced about him, the affection from that place warming his heart.

Then, he saw his own parents, grandfather, and others, missing them greatly, but they could never meet again. Also, the Willow Deity and little pagoda, where were they?

In the end, his eyes passed through all obstructions, landing on an expanse of Fire Mulberry Trees. There was a girl standing below the Fire Mulberry Trees, quietly waiting for his return. The Fire Mulberry Flowers had already bloomed, fluttering about in the air, fluttering down. However, as the years passed one after another, he couldn’t appear, forever unable to return. That young lady would go from her underripe years onto her middle-years, and then one day become old and gray-haired, but she would continue to stand there alone. She was already old, yet she still said with a soft voice, “The color of the mulberry trees has returned, the light of dusk falling upon my clothes. The Fire Mulberry Trees have already filled the horizon, yet the date of return is still unknown. When the Fire Mulberry Trees wilt, I will have also have returned…”

Shi Hao’s eyes seemed to have peered through endless time, traveling extremely far, seeing many places. In the end, he suddenly turned around, no longer looking back.

Qiang!

A blazing radiance shone from the altar. He disappeared from this place, never to be seen again. He couldn’t turn back, he had to walk forward into the distance alone.
