The World of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, More Than Three Hundred Years Before A Chinese Ghost Story Began!!

"This godforsaken place would be better off not existing."

Shi Hao thought that Lanruo Temple might become a haunt of ghosts and monsters in the future, so he used Buddha's Palm to bring the whole temple crashing down!

It was easy.

Shi Hao casually struck a few times with his palm, and Lanruo Temple collapsed completely.

"And there's the Millennium Tree Demon! I have to wipe it out!"

The Millennium Tree Demon was a major reason Shi Hao had come here.

Lanruo Temple was very close to Guobei County.

Shi Hao's home was in Guobei County.

The Millennium Tree Demon was very close to Guobei County...

That was why Shi Hao had come to kill the Millennium Tree Demon!

"Where's the Millennium Tree Demon?"

Shi Hao began searching for the Millennium Tree Demon.

He used the power of a martial Human Immortal's Qi and blood to fly back and forth through the sky.

Before long,

Shi Hao spotted an enormous tree!

"Are you the Millennium Tree Demon?"

Shi Hao shouted and struck with his palm, snapping the towering tree clean in two!

But there was no reaction.

"Looks like it was an ordinary big tree. Ahem, ahem, ahem."

Shi Hao was a little embarrassed.

He had realized he couldn't find the Millennium Tree Demon!

"There are way too many big trees here!"

Shi Hao found that there really were an enormous number of big trees near Lanruo Temple.

With so many big trees, which one was the Millennium Tree Demon?

Shi Hao hadn't cultivated immortality, so he really couldn't tell.

Even with a martial Human Immortal's powers of perception, all the trees seemed the same to Shi Hao.

"If I can't find it, I'll just throw a few palm strikes around and go home!"

That was what Shi Hao decided.

He would casually strike a few times with Buddha's Palm, at the realm of "in heaven and earth, I alone am supreme."

If he somehow managed to kill the Millennium Tree Demon, so much the better.

If he didn't, the demon was lucky!

"Millennium Tree Demon, die!"

Shi Hao roared, unleashing Buddha's Palm at the Great Perfection Realm, and began striking wildly!

A force of several hundred million jin came with temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees!

Such was the terror of Buddha's Palm at the Great Perfection Realm!

Shi Hao struck with all his might, unleashing a full set of Buddha's Palm strikes!

He brought more than half the mountain where Lanruo Temple stood crashing down!

"If the Millennium Tree Demon still isn't dead after that, it's lucky."

Shi Hao muttered to himself and was about to leave for the Shi Residence.

But just then-

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

A voice rang out. It was a big tree speaking.

Shi Hao said in surprise, "Millennium Tree Demon?"

The tree said, "I'm not the Millennium Tree Demon. I'm a tree demon who has cultivated for seven hundred years. The monks of Lanruo Temple used to be my neighbors. We kept our well water from mixing with river water and got along amicably. Also, have you come to investigate how the monks of Lanruo Temple died? Don't listen to those ignorant fools' nonsense! Their deaths had nothing to do with me. The monks of Lanruo Temple were all killed by a blood demon who sucked their blood."

The tree demon who had cultivated for seven hundred years was at his wit's end!

Damn it, Shi Hao was too fierce!

He had brought more than half the mountain crashing down!

The seven-hundred-year-old tree demon was afraid that if Shi Hao kept striking at random, he might somehow kill him!

It hadn't been easy for him to cultivate for seven hundred years, and he didn't want to die!

Shi Hao said, "A tree demon? You didn't kill the monks of Lanruo Temple? A blood demon did? What's a blood demon?"

The seven-hundred-year-old tree demon said, "Blood demon is what you humans call immortal cultivators who practice the Blood Sea Demonic Art. I once heard Monk Ciyun of Lanruo Temple mention that a thousand years ago, there was a Blood Demon Patriarch who was extremely formidable. What he practiced was the Blood Sea Demonic Art."

Shi Hao frowned. "Blood Demon Patriarch? Blood Sea Demonic Art? Then is there an Emei Sect too?"

Did they think Shi Hao hadn't seen The Legend of the Swordsmen of Mount Shu before he transmigrated?

The Legend of the Swordsmen of Mount Shu had been made into a movie on Earth.

But this was the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. How could there be characters from the world of The Legend of the Swordsmen of Mount Shu...

Wait!

Was there only a tree demon who had cultivated for seven hundred years near Lanruo Temple?

"Holy shit, I remember that when the story of A Chinese Ghost Story took place, the tree demon near Lanruo Temple already had a thousand years of cultivation. The demon was a thousand years old!"

"The tree demon near Lanruo Temple now only has seven hundred years of cultivation..."

"Doesn't that mean the story of A Chinese Ghost Story won't begin for at least another three hundred years?"

"I transmigrated into the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio more than three hundred years before the story of A Chinese Ghost Story begins!!"

Shi Hao was shocked!

The world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio also spanned a vast period of time!

At the beginning, there were many immortals in the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

But as time passed, there were fewer and fewer immortals in that world. They all seemed to have ascended to the Immortal Realm.

By the time the story of A Chinese Ghost Story took place, there were no immortals left in the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, and it seemed to have begun entering the Dharma-ending age.

It was worth mentioning that the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio had the Immortal Realm as its Upper Realm.

The original Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio contained many stories that described the Upper Realm of its world.

"So it doesn't seem strange that there's an Emei Sect in the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio at this time, or that there was a Blood Demon Patriarch a thousand years ago!"

Shi Hao pondered.
