Background

Shi Hao was born a Natural Supreme with a Supreme Bone. After his bone was taken, the Shi clan used Shi Qingfeng as a substitute to conceal Shi Hao's whereabouts from hostile factions. Shi Hao later found Shi Qingfeng, brought him to Stone Village, and trained with him at Mending Heaven Pavilion. 402

He was raised in Stone Village under the protection of the Willow Deity and developed a close bond with Yan Kuan, whom he regarded as both master and father figure. Yan Kuan deliberately arranged safeguards for Shi Hao's difficult early life while allowing him to endure decisive trials himself. 402

Shi Hao's royal bloodline traces back to the Seven Frontier Kings. Yan Kuan identifies him as a Natural Supreme whose bloodline had returned to its ancestral state, granting him an Immortal King bloodline that rivals the strongest prodigies of the Immortal Realm. 415

After reclaiming order in the Lower Realm, Shi Hao became its Human Sovereign. His campaign was interrupted when an Immortal Hall expert afflicted him with the Immortal Severing Curse, leaving him near death. Qin Hao's Immortal Bone was transplanted into him to save him, while Shi Hao chose to remove his damaged Supreme Bone and give it to Qin Hao. 410 421 423

Shi Hao survived a further nirvana, overcame the Bronze Rust Curse, and received Yan Kuan's Immortal Hall inheritance before departing for the Upper Realm. 424

Appearance

Shi Hao first appears as a nimble young boy of Stone Village; by his later campaigns, he is depicted as a youthful figure in white robes with black hair, carrying the presence of a Heavenly Emperor. 402 637

• Often carries the Small Pagoda in his hair or atop his head. 402 410
• His brow can blaze with ancient Shi clan patterns when his King Blood resonates. 513
• His body bears the Ten Reincarnation Seals after repeated life-and-death transformations. 631
• In battle, he may manifest Dao Flowers, Secret Realms, Immortal Qi, and visions of pagodas, cauldrons, bells, and the River of Time. 521 633

Personality

Shi Hao is mischievous, gluttonous, and opportunistic. He enjoys beast meat and beast milk, bickers with companions, loots opportunities during chaos, and is willing to use disguises and feints against stronger rivals. 473 475

Behind this playful behavior, he possesses fierce resolve. He repeatedly chooses life-and-death tempering over easy protection, refuses to yield when facing old enemies, and carries an invincible conviction in battle. 404 423 484

He is deeply attached to his family, friends, and homeland. His concern for Qin Hao leads him to give up his own damaged Supreme Bone, while his later return to the Lower Realm is motivated by a need to honor his past before undertaking his final attempt to advance. 423 633
