Chapter 70 Advancement to the Inscription Realm
Chapter 70 Advancement to the Inscription Realm
More than half a year later, Shi Hao finally left the vast wilderness of 300,000 li and arrived at the border of the Shi Kingdom.
Instead of rushing on his journey, he explored and cultivated along the way, finding more than a dozen spiritual herbs and hunting down a considerable amount of precious blood from ferocious beasts.
During this period, he opened up another cave, and his cultivation level reached a new level.
"It's not enough, I need to become stronger!" Shi Hao whispered.
Finally, he entered the Stone Kingdom, but not via the same route as before. Instead, he passed through another large city and discovered that he could sense the Void God Realm. He was immediately very excited.
This means that the Willow God can be contacted through the Realm of the Illusory Gods.
He hurriedly found an inn, sat down cross-legged, calmed his mind, and entered the realm of the illusory gods. Standing at the entrance to the initial land, he softly called out to the Willow God.
Sensing his presence, the Willow God stretched out a branch and swept him away.
"You love eating animal milk?!"
A middle-aged man happened to enter the Void God Realm at the same time. He had sharp eyes and saw Shi Hao flash by. He subconsciously shouted out, attracting many people to watch.
Although the siblings Shi Zhao and Shi Hao had not appeared for more than half a year, they had already become legendary figures with widespread fame, and the news of their possible reappearance quickly caused a huge uproar.
On the other side, amidst the ruins, Shi Hao, unaware of all this, excitedly looked around but couldn't find his older sister in seclusion. He couldn't help but ask Liu Shen.
"She is preparing for a breakthrough, so her primordial spirit is naturally not here," Willow God replied.
"Won't there be any danger?" Shi Hao asked nervously. Actually, he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask his sister, but breaking through was no small matter, and he couldn't disturb her now.
"She was ready to break through a breakthrough a long time ago; it's just a natural progression now, so there's no need to worry."
Shi Hao pursed his lips and didn't disturb Liu Shen's cultivation too much. He simply asked Liu Shen to pass on a message before returning to the Void God Realm to inquire with Bird Master and Master Jingbi about how to get to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.
In the real world, at the entrance of Shicun Village, beside the willow tree.
Shi Zhao sat cross-legged on a large rock, his spirit and energy already united, his aura flowing smoothly and his mind clear, as he began the final breakthrough.
With a deafening boom, her entire body erupted with dazzling divine light, as if a massive explosion had occurred. Centered on her, blood energy, magical power, and divine consciousness formed a terrifying wave of divine power that surged in all directions.
This is an extremely astonishing sight; ordinary people would never achieve such a breakthrough.
Shi Zhaochong had no difficulty at all. If it weren't for some minor accidents that caused her to split into three parts and suppress her exploration of the mysteries within, she could have broken through her realm at any time.
Now that we've made the necessary preparations and gotten serious, things have changed dramatically.
Runes appeared on her skin, and the same was true inside her body; such patterns covered her flesh and organs.
Finally, even within the bones and marrow, various runes flashed and rushed through, as if breaking free of shackles and receiving a baptism of runes.
She was completely different; her aura instantly became much stronger.
Shi Zhao's long, curled eyelashes fluttered like raven feathers, and then he slowly opened his eyes. His bright eyes were filled with runes of various colors, as if he was gathering the most fundamental rules and order of heaven and earth to form his own power.
"The Inscription Realm is complete," she whispered.
Only upon reaching the Inscription Realm can one truly begin to explore the original mysteries of runes, no longer relying solely on the runes of ferocious beasts and strange birds, but instead inscribing some of their own runes within their body.
Of course, the so-called personal runes are just simple combinations, and cannot be innovative; that is a method only the strongest can use.
This realm is incredibly difficult for ordinary people. It requires engraving it within the body, bones, and even the inner sanctum. Every step is arduous, and even years of effort may not yield results.
When Shi Zhao was still in the Wu King's Mansion, he had heard the Fourth Grandfather say that each step forward in the Inscription Realm was equivalent to the time it took to cultivate a major realm in the past, which shows how difficult it was.
But she is destined to be different; she will do what others cannot and turn the impossible into the possible!
This has always been her pursuit, and it is a goal she must achieve.
Shi Zhao closed her eyes again, her whole body radiating a soft glow. All the potential within her was released, and countless patterns enveloped her, like a silkworm spinning a cocoon or a cicada emerging from its pupa, concealing all her brilliance.
All fluctuations disappeared, but within her body, all sorts of incredible changes were still taking place. Various runes flickered, like stars, covering her skin, flesh, internal organs, bones, and even her various grotto-heavens. This process lasted for a very long time.
Cultivators generally agree that the Inscription Realm can be divided into four levels: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and perfect stage. Shi Zhao's realm is constantly rising.
Her foundation was too deep, and she had thoroughly comprehended the Inscription Realm ahead of time. As soon as she advanced, she skipped the initial stage, stabilized her cultivation slightly, and went straight to the later stage.
More than a month later, Shi Zhao ended his seclusion.
At this moment, her cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Inscription Realm, and it was extremely stable.
The time spent suppressing his realm was not wasted; it was easily made up for now, and the results of his comprehension can help him break through the limit of the Inscription Realm.
"Whoosh!!!"
She flashed, and in an instant, three figures appeared under the willow tree.
Unfortunately, this special state did not last long and soon returned to normal.
This is exactly the opposite of before. Previously, due to an accident, the entity was divided into three parts, making it very difficult to reunite. Now that it has successfully reunited, it is even more difficult to divide it into three parts again.
"The path to breaking limits has already taken half a step. As long as we fully comprehend this change, we can truly create our own Dao, break through the extreme realm, and transcend the established path."
Shi Zhao was not discouraged; his eyes were extremely bright and his gaze was clear.
Of course, she had another option: the Seven Demon Stars in her palm, which was her own supreme divine power.
She has never stopped researching her innate divine abilities and the Supreme Bone, and has long been preparing for the next major realm, the Array Realm.
The main focus is on making early predictions and taking precautions.
"A remarkable achievement, not bad," Liu Shen said calmly.
After all, it was a breakthrough right under his nose, so he had a good idea of what level it could achieve. Otherwise, even He would probably be a little surprised.
"It's not bad, but all my cultivation resources are exhausted." Shi Zhao tucked a stray strand of hair behind his ear and sighed softly.
Now all she has left is a mutated Vermilion Fruit Tree and a semi-saint medicine that she is reluctant to consume. All the spiritual herbs and liquids she had plundered and extorted from the Ancient Divine Mountain have been used up. Otherwise, how could she have rushed to the late stage of Inscription in one go?
Cultivation cannot be improved out of thin air; one must give up something in order to gain something.
Liu Shen also mentioned Shi Hao's previous message, and said, "He should have guessed something. You've been helping him nurture that bone; when are you going to return it to him?"
"Let me collect the interest first, and then I can fully comprehend the precious technique on the bone," Shi Zhao said with a gentle smile.
"So you gave him your refined blood essence as a deliberate reminder?" Liu asked, seemingly unconcerned.
"Let's just say that."
"Saying one thing and meaning another."
