Another "Old Grandpa" Wants to Teach Me, Shi Hao, a Divine Art?
Shi Hao asked the seven-hundred-year-old tree demon many more questions.
The seven-hundred-year-old tree demon was terrified of Shi Hao. Although he looked like a human toddler of three or four, he had just brought down the mountain it lived on with a few blows!
And so.
The seven-hundred-year-old tree demon told Shi Hao everything it knew in response to his questions, holding nothing back.
"All right! That's all I wanted to ask."
Shi Hao spoke.
The seven-hundred-year-old tree demon breathed a sigh of relief. "Then you should be leaving now, right?"
Shi Hao said, "It really is time to go."
Shi Hao slapped the seven-hundred-year-old tree demon to death!
If he hadn't known, that would have been one thing.
But Shi Hao knew that this tree demon near Lanruo Temple, with seven hundred years of cultivation, would become a thousand-year-old demon in more than three hundred years. It would keep a group of female ghosts and use them to harm passing travelers!
In that case.
"How could I let you live?"
Shi Hao wasn't about to leave a tree demon like this alive and wait for it to harm people someday.
As for talking morality with a demon? Shi Hao wasn't that foolish.
Although the tree demon had answered many of Shi Hao's questions.
But.
It still had to die.
After killing the thousand-year-old tree demon near Lanruo Temple.
Shi Hao knew that the present world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio really wasn't so simple.
This world was the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.
But it wasn't the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio as it would be more than three hundred years later!
From what Shi Hao had learned by questioning the seven-hundred-year-old tree demon.
Immortals still existed in the present world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio!
And!
The world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio had not been cut off from its Upper Realm.
Even in the Netherworld of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, there were still immortals and gods sent down from the Upper Realm to maintain order in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Based on the information I got from the tree demon, combined with my guesses from what I know of the plot of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio...
This world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio will probably be abandoned by its Upper Realm in two or three hundred years, then gradually enter the Dharma-ending age, with immortals and gods vanishing without a trace...
But right now, immortals still exist in the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. This world also has an Upper Realm. That Upper Realm... I wonder what kind of world it is?
Shi Hao returned to the Shi Residence, thinking about many things.
But one thing was certain: Shi Hao could no longer get full of himself.
If this were the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio in the Dharma-ending age, during the time of A Chinese Ghost Story, then Shi Hao's strength as a Martial Dao Human Immortal would have been enough to make him invincible under heaven!
Yet in the present world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, true immortals still existed! It was still connected to the Upper Realm!
"I need to work even harder!"
Shi Hao muttered to himself.
He went to sleep.
He planned to sleep for an hour or two, then get up and drink beast milk.
Shi Hao knew his own limits.
Shi Hao knew that Buddha's Palm was only a supreme divine art from a high-martial world. Cultivating it to the Great Perfection Realm would make one a Martial Dao Human Immortal, capable of striking with a force of hundreds of millions of jin in a single palm strike. That was indeed powerful!
However!
"The might of immortals and gods can at least move mountains and fill seas. I'm afraid I can't defeat a true immortal."
Shi Hao was certain of that.
And the immortals of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio did indeed possess the power to move mountains and fill seas!
How much did a mountain weigh? Over a hundred million tons, surely!
Not a hundred million jin, but a hundred million tons.
One ton equaled two thousand jin.
Shi Hao slept for an hour or two, then got up.
He deftly took out a bucket of beast milk, put a large straw into it, and circulated the Northern Darkness Divine Art, sucking away like mad!
In no time, Shi Hao had finished the entire bucket of beast milk, drinking it like a water pump sucking up water!
Shi Hao looked at his system panel.
"I've gained another skill point!"
Shi Hao nodded in satisfaction.
He was only three years old. He was already a Martial Dao Human Immortal. In the present world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, where "immortals" still existed, he might not be invincible under heaven, but surely he was still extremely powerful?
"That's enough!"
"I'll keep drinking beast milk and getting stronger!"
"Before long, I, Shi Hao, will become an immortal too!"
Shi Hao cheered himself on!
Just then!
Shi Hao noticed that someone had @mentioned him in the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.
Myriad Worlds Chat Group, chat interface:
Jiu Jianxian @Desolate Heaven Emperor: "Future Heavenly Emperor... would you be interested in learning my Mount Shu Sword Control Technique?"
It was Jiu Jianxian, who had been thoroughly fooled by Group Leader Great Immortal Divine Charlatan, @mentioning Shi Hao.
When Jiu Jianxian joined the group, he had been preparing to teach the Sword Control Technique to Li Xiaoyao, the protagonist of the world of Chinese Paladin.
After joining the group.
Jiu Jianxian had been thoroughly fooled by Group Leader Great Immortal Divine Charlatan, but he had still taught the Sword Control Technique to Li Xiaoyao, the protagonist of the world of Chinese Paladin.
As Jiu Jianxian drank and read through the chat history, he suddenly grew interested in Shi Hao, this "future Heavenly Emperor"!
Heavenly Emperor! I know about that! Doesn't the God Realm have a Heavenly Emperor named Fuxi?
There's actually a future Heavenly Emperor in this group? What if I could get this future Heavenly Emperor to learn the Dao tradition of my Mount Shu? If I could teach this future Heavenly Emperor a thing or two...
Jiu Jianxian was sorely tempted.
