Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: Great Wilderness Realm
Upon hearing this, Xuwu Yue was taken aback.
He only said such words out of politeness; how could he truly believe that Shi Hao could become an Immortal King?
— There are countless geniuses, but how many through the ages have actually achieved Immortal King status?
Even as the child of an Immortal King, with the world’s treasures at their fingertips, how many could actually follow in their father’s footsteps and step into the rank of Immortal King?
There are some, but they are pitifully few.
So, if it’s so difficult even for the offspring of Immortal Kings, how could a person from a grassroots background be so confident, not only claiming to become an Immortal King but also dismissing the Immortal Venerable, wanting to become the emperor among them?
Are you not a fool?
While he was approachable, it didn’t mean he had no pride. In fact, the vision of an offspring of an Immortal King is extremely high. He was only polite to Shi Hao because of Woo Yueyi.
There was no need to waste words with someone who is ignorant.
Xuwu Yue nodded towards Shi Hao: "Well, work hard then."
With his status, there was no need to mock or discourage Shi Hao, as if nothing had ever happened.
Shi Hao just smiled slightly. He didn’t care to prove how terrifying his combat power was to the other party. If you were to fight me at the same level, I could defeat you with one finger.
Most of the time, he wore a playful smile, but his pride was second to none.
If he didn’t like you, he couldn’t even be bothered to say more.
In the future, we’ll see who achieves more.
Woo Yueyi was rather dumbfounded; how did things develop to this point?
She merely wanted Shi Hao to get a little closer to Xuwu Yue because, after all, Xuwu Yue was a dazzling figure among the heirs of the Immortal Kings, ranking at least in the top one hundred.
— The heirs of the Immortal Kings aren’t their offspring, their numbers are immense, tens of thousands over generations, and those who can become the disciples of Immortal Kings, which of them isn’t a top-notch talent?
Being able to rank in the top one hundred among so many geniuses showcases Xuwu Yue’s exceptional talent.
Making friends with a genius like Xuwu Yue would definitely be a big boost for Shi Hao. You can only keep progressing if you mingle with a circle of true talents, but staying in an ordinary circle too long will make you blend into the crowd over time.
However, Shi Hao dared to boast so greatly, leaving even her speechless. How would Xuwu Yue react?
Who would want to associate with someone who talks so big?
"Haha, there you two are!" A voice rang out, and two other figures landed, both tall and exuding a powerful aura.
Xuwu Yue looked over and smiled, "Brother Guo, Brother Ma!"
"Oh, and who is this?" The two simultaneously glanced at Shi Hao, slightly surprised.
Among the heirs of the Immortal Kings, they seemed to have never seen this person before.
However, if he wasn’t an heir of the Immortal Kings, how would he be with Woo Yueyi and Xuwu Yue?
Xuwu Yue merely smiled and didn’t introduce Shi Hao’s identity.
He held himself in high esteem and had no interest in "exposing" Shi Hao.
Shi Hao smiled, "I am Asura."
Asura?
Guo and Ma exchanged glances, both somewhat puzzled. Under which Immortal King is this Asura?
Woo Yueyi explained, "Shi Hao is not an heir of the Immortal King but a cultivator from our Hongwu Immortal Domain."
"Oh!" The two simultaneously showed understanding expressions; no wonder they hadn’t seen or heard of him, as he wasn’t among the heirs of the Immortal Kings.
However, they were exceptionally graceful individuals, showing no signs of looking down on Shi Hao, with their expressions unaffected, as if they completely disregarded Shi Hao’s identity.
But Shi Hao knew that, like Xuwu Yue, they had already excluded him in their hearts.
This was normal; different identities, different circles, and he wasn’t trying to force himself into their circles.
If you look down on me, I’ll slap you with actual achievements.
"Those two are Guo Fan and Ma Bufei," Woo Yueyi conveyed with Divine Sense, "Although they are not offspring of the Immortal King, they are disciples adopted by Immortal Kings, and their talents are extremely high."
Shi Hao smiled slightly at her. In contrast, Woo Yueyi was an endearing girl. Although she was initially quite proud, once familiar, she was a very suitable friend.
Woo Yueyi huffed and looked away.
You and your playful smile, making her furious!
Guo Fan no longer paid attention to Shi Hao, addressing Xuwu Yue: "With the Great Wilderness Realm opening soon, Brother Xu, will you make it in time?"
Xuwu Yue smiled lightly: "There are still two years until the opening of the Great Wilderness Realm. By then, stepping into Nine Stars shouldn’t be a problem for me. Moreover, even if the Great Wilderness Realm opened now, why would I fear anyone?"
The last sentence was spoken with imposing arrogance.
"Haha, Brother Xu indeed speaks boldly!" Ma Bufei laughed, "However, while you are a gifted genius, there are many other talents; those who can rival you and even surpass you are not non-existent!"
Oh, there indeed were undercurrents between these three.
Although Shi Hao didn’t know the specific situation, it was clear that Guo Fan and Ma Bufei were not from the Qinghuo Immortal Domain but were heirs of two other Immortal Kings. So, despite being in the same circle due to equivalent statuses, it was filled with competition.
Obviously, Xuwu Yue, as an offspring of an Immortal King, had outstanding talent as his advantage, but Ma Bufei and Guo Fan had advantages in realm, both being Nine Stars Silver Spirit Immortals.
He asked Woo Yueyi, "What is the Great Wilderness Realm?"
Woo Yueyi first glanced at him, then said, "The Great Wilderness Realm is naturally a secret realm that opens once every hundred thousand years. If you could obtain an Immortal Soul inside, your chances of becoming an Immortal King would significantly increase."
She seemed worried that Shi Hao wouldn’t have a clear impression and added, "Even for someone like us, children of Immortal Kings, the chance to become an Immortal King is at most one in ten thousand, but with an Immortal Soul, that chance increases to one percent."
An entire hundredfold increase!
Of course, even one percent is still exceedingly slim.
— Achieving Immortal King status is inherently one of the most arduous tasks under heaven.
"Moreover, the treasures in the Great Wilderness Realm help solidify foundations and promote the enhancement of cultivation, providing significant assistance."
"However—"
She glanced at Shi Hao: "Only descendants of the Immortal King lineage can enter the Great Wilderness Realm. This was a rule set by all the Immortal Kings long ago and has never been broken over the countless years since."
Only descendants of the Immortal King lineage can enter?
Shi Hao frowned, so he would be excluded.
He wasn’t particularly concerned about the Immortal Soul, as he had great confidence in himself. However, if obtaining an Immortal Soul could speed up achieving Immortal King status, he wouldn’t mind going there.
However, he had no qualification to go.
