Difficult Problem and Dead-End Problem
Ye Feng watched Shi Hao leave.
Shi Hao left the Stone Village altar and began a new day of cultivation.
Ye Feng stared at Shi Hao, recalling Shi Hao's life in his mind. Shi Hao died three times in his life.
Shi Hao was a member of the royal family of the Stone Kingdom in the lower realm. Born a supreme being, his supreme bone was forcibly taken by his cousin Shi Yi's mother, causing him to fall seriously ill and near death. After many twists and turns, he was fostered by his parents in Stone Village, but later left the village and ventured into the Great Wilderness. After numerous trials, he killed Shi Yi in the Realm of the Void Gods, successfully avenging himself. After the Stone Emperor disappeared, he defeated the three major sects and ascended to the throne as the Stone Emperor.
Later, Shi Hao found his parents in the Immortality Mountain, and the family was reunited.
After the great calamity of heaven and earth, there were no Lower Realm left in the lower realm. However, seven Godly Fire Realm cultivators from the Upper Realm descended to the Lower Realm, seeking to seize the opportunities of creation. Then, chaos erupted in the Desolate Region, the seven gods Lower Realm, Shi Hao killed the seven gods, gave his remains to his younger brother Qin Hao, and then passed away.
This was Shi Hao's first death.
Although the seven Godly Fire Realm cultivators perished, the Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao himself was in dire straits. Cursed and even his Supreme Bone shattered, he was ultimately buried in a cold grave. The Five-Colored Sparrow planted the Non-Rotting Grass on the Desolate Heaven Emperor's Desolate Heaven Emperor, ensuring his body would never decay and maintaining a remnant of life. After two years, the Supreme Blood within the Desolate Heaven Emperor gradually revived, and with the large quantities of sacred medicine he consumed, the curse was gradually eradicated. The Desolate Heaven Emperor awoke.
This is also the first time Shi Hao has been resurrected.
The second time, the Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao died in an ambush by Three Great Immortal Kings. In the End of Dharma Era, the Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao had ascended to immortality after nine lifetimes in the mortal Immortal Domain. During his Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao Tribulation, he was attacked by three Immortal Kings from the Immortal Realm. At this most perilous moment of his tribulation, the three Immortal Kings decisively intervened, determined to eliminate any future threat and annihilate the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
Although the Desolate Heaven Emperor had the assistance of Pan King, the Master of the Forbidden Zone, and the desperate protection of many others, the difference in strength was ultimately too great.
In the end, the Desolate Heaven Emperor's entire body and essence completely disappeared, and he died and vanished.
In a single move, the Heavenly Court crumbled. The Desolate Heaven Emperor's Primal Spirit was hidden within the Ten Paths of Reincarnation, escaping the pursuit of the Immortal Kings. His physical body was rescued by Pan King, and the Desolate Heaven Emperor was eventually buried in the Burial Ground.
Five hundred thousand years later, his Primal Spirit returned to one, opening up the sixth secret realm and becoming a Celestial King giant. He was thus resurrected.
The third Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao died at the hands of the Corpse Immortal Emperor. At the end of the Boundary Sea, the Corpse Immortal Emperor Primal Spirit merged with his own and he was revived and returned. However, he had already been controlled by darkness. Holding the Great Luo Sword Embryo, he struck down with just one blow. No matter how the Desolate Heaven Emperor tried to escape, he was still annihilated by the sword light and turned into billions of drops of blood.
The blood of the Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao entered the river of time, spreading throughout the past, present, and future. Each drop of blood forged its own path, perfecting its own Dao.
Finally, the Desolate Heaven Emperor re-emerged on the river of time. His Transformation Freedom Technique.
He transformed into all things, into time, into Reincarnation, breaking through to the Supreme Immortal Emperor realm and forcefully annihilating the Corpse Immortal Emperor.
The Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao, through countless Reincarnation, constantly experiencing life and death, comprehended the Dao in the Reincarnation and ultimately achieved enlightenment.
Following the path of the Great Dao is almost always a dead end. Only a very few exceptional individuals can ultimately achieve the Great Dao.
Ye Feng stared at Shi Hao, reflecting on Shi Hao's life, and sighed that Shi Hao was truly too weak. He said, "Willow God, your requirements are far too low. As far as I know, there is no limit to human strength. Simply lifting 100,000 jin is far too easy to pass the test."
Moving Blood Realm did indeed greatly benefit Shi Hao. However, Shi Hao died three times. For Ye Feng, this still didn't meet the standard of a peerless prodigy.
"Ye Feng, what do you think?" Willow God asked.
"He is, after all, a person with Supreme Bloodline. We can't judge him by the standards of a chosen one of heaven. We must set higher standards for him," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Two hundred thousand catties?" Willow God asked.
"Moving Blood Realm with 200,000 jin of blood is merely considered a remarkable talent in my eyes," Ye Feng, shaking his head slightly.
"Three hundred thousand catties?" Willow God asked again.
"This can only be considered genius. It doesn't even reach the standard of a prodigy." Ye Feng shook his head again.
"How about 500,000 jin?" Willow God continued to discuss with Ye Feng. Even she, Willow God, didn't know exactly what level Ye Feng had reached.
Five hundred thousand catties is enough to kill some mature Pure-Blooded Creature.
"Then let's make it 500,000 jin," Ye Feng said with a wry smile.
Well!
Willow God clicked her tongue inwardly. Judging from Ye Feng's tone, he seemed unsatisfied. She was very curious about just how powerful Ye Feng's strength had become.
"Can he do it?" Willow God asked Ye Feng with some doubt.
For ordinary people, the highest strength of the Moving Blood Realm is 50,000 jin.
Willow God originally only set a difficult task, requiring Shi Hao to reach a strength of 100,000 jin. Ye Feng, however, set a "deadly" task, immediately increasing the requirement tenfold from the average person's level—a full 500,000 jin.
Willow God questioned whether Shi Hao Shi Hao, even with the Supreme Bloodline, could surpass the extreme realm of the Moving Blood Realm.
"The power of the Supreme Bloodline far exceeds your imagination. If we don't push him a bit, how can we lead Stone Village to the Upper Realm in the future? Do you expect me to lead the team myself?" Ye Feng retorted.
Stone Village is something else now. It possesses the Eight Gates Technique, magical techniques from dozens of Ferocious Beast, alchemy for refining elixirs, the Cloud and Mist Covering Sun Formation, a modified version of the Three Beasts Desolate Decision, and various weapons and armor refined by Heavenly Flames. Oh, and yes, there are also upgraded versions of Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.
The Tang Sect Hidden Weapons have truly flourished here. The arrows they shoot are all crafted from the precious bones of Ferocious Beast.
If given three years, Stone Village could become invincible in this world. However Stone Village, if they went to the Upper Realm, Stone Village would only be a third-rate force.
If Stone Village is to ascend to the Upper Realm, it must have a leader. Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng is unsuitable; he is too old, and although his hidden ailment was resolved with Ye Feng's help, his future growth is limited. Therefore, Shi Hao, who possesses the Supreme Bloodline, is a good candidate.
When Ye Feng arrived in the Perfect World, his first stop was Stone Village. He had already made Stone Village his home in this world, so he didn't want Stone Village to just be sealed away by Shi Hao; he wanted Stone Village to truly become powerful.
"Ye Feng, can you tell me what level of power you've reached without using any special techniques?" Willow God asked curiously. Ye Feng had always been a mystery to her.
To satisfy her curiosity, Willow God once used some secret techniques in an attempt to uncover Ye Feng's secrets. However, all her attempts failed.
"Without using any special techniques, relying solely on brute force, I can barely fight against someone in the Spirit Transformation Realm," Ye Feng answered truthfully.
Well!
Willow God pondered for a moment. Ye Feng was currently only at the Moving Blood Realm, and without using any special techniques, he could fight against a Spirit Transformation Realm expert. Willow God thought to herself. Ye Feng's pure physical strength should have reached the terrifying level of 800,000 jin per arm. If he used special techniques, especially the Eight Gates Technique, his strength would be even more terrifying.
"Shi Hao!"
As Shi Hao was cultivating, Willow God's voice reached his ears. "After discussing with Ye Feng, we've decided to set a small goal for you. Once your arm reaches 500,000 jin, you'll be able to find out where your father and mother are!"
