Chapter 1956 - Imperial Court Cannot Be Established

From past until present, all those who vainly attempted to establish an Imperial Court died, not a single one of them having a good ending.

There was no exception to this. It was to the extent where even all those who broke through the Immortal King Realm and saw the dawn of the Emperor Realm still met dismal conclusions.

If it was just the people of a single era, that was one thing, but this was the case throughout several eras. Several Imperial Courts were established, but all of them collapsed in the end, disaster was brought to all of these clans, almost all of them completely wiped out!

“The Butcher, someone in the Realm Sea, is an unmatched expert, someone who could call himself an unrivaled giant even in the Realm Sea. HIs ancestor had previously completed Immortal Domain’s cultivation method together with others.” Pan King said.

The Butcher’s ancestor, that really was someone with extraordinary abilities, his strength as heaven-defying as several old immortal kings’. They all dared slaughter their way to Realm Sea’s side, daring to attack a Guidance Ancient Palace that fell down.

However, those old immortal kings all died in the end, the Imperial Court they established together collapsed.

In the end, there was only the Butcher and one or two others who escaped disaster, the rest all dying, their bloodlines extinguished forever.

Ssss!

Shi Hao sucked in a cold breath of air. This really was sinister.

He had previously heard about this matter before. Five hundred thousand years ago, that golden-winged woman on the top of the World Tree had previously mentioned it to him so that he wouldn’t casually establish an Imperial Court.

“Just what exactly caused this?”

Shi Hao couldn’t figure it out himself. He looked towards Pan King, asking for guidance.

After all, this was an immortal king who had lived for an incomparably long time. What he understood was definitely much more than Shi Hao.

“I don’t know, the situation is too complicated. There are all types of rumors…” Pan King shook his head, but he still explained some things.

There were ancient immortal kings who said that they might have been cursed. In the Age of Emperor Collapse, there were some major events that happened that didn’t permit its reestablishment.

There were some who said that it was because the darkness, inauspicious and ominous stood against the Imperial Court. Once someone truly established it, it would then be attacked, and then entirely wiped out.

There were others who said that the Imperial Court might have existed before, extremely glorious, but unfortunately, it used up all of its good fortune in the Age of Emperor Collapse, and so it was thus accompanied by disaster. That was why anyone who dared establish an Imperial Court afterwards was basically repaying great fortune.

The sayings were all different, one more unreliable than the next.

Shi Hao frowned, he found all of these not too plausible.

“This matter really is hard to say, but in the end, it is best if you don’t establish it to avoid bringing about a disaster upon yourself.” Pan King warned. It was one thing in the lower realm, after all, it never touched upon the higher immortal dao level.

However, in this realm, it was different. It was to the extent where the eyes of many ancient families went red. Who wanted to use the name Imperial Court? If it was established, the effects would definitely be great.

However, who dared do such a thing?

“There is another saying. You should be aware that there is a faint line of footsteps by Dam World. Some suspect that it was left behind by the existence related to the Imperial Court of the Age of Emperor Collapse, thinking that it is that existence who left those footprints behind.”

It was also precisely those footprints that caused generation after generation of immortal kings to advance wave upon wave, chase after it, enter the Realm Sea, wishing to arrive at the final destination.

“After crossing the Land of Darkness, that is where the ultimate mysteries lie.” Pan King sighed with regret.

Shi Hao revealed a surprised expression. Even the mystery of the Imperial Court ultimately pointed to the limits of the Realm Sea?

The Land of Darkness, Guidance Ancient Palace, Imperial Court, all of these all had the same destination!

“You should build some temples. The people of the world often chant our names, which can allow our immortal king primordial spirits to become increasingly sturdy and imperishable!” Pan King said.

Underneath the immortal kings, when their statues were consecrated in temples, what was obtained was faith energy. Meanwhile, at the immortal king level, the significance became completely different, it could strengthen the primordial spirit.

“There is this type of thing?” Shi Hao was stunned.

He always thought that when he established his giant palace, obtained the prayers of all clans, what he obtained was only will force, related to faith, able to help him construct a divine body.

Now, it seemed like there were some other secrets.

When one’s name was chanted often, it was the same as strengthening his primordial spirit, able to make him more and more powerful, making his primordial spirit impervious to all tribulations.

After carefully learning about these things, he then went to personally try it out. He had just slaughtered his way back from the foreign realm, so quite a few creatures were chanting his name.

Wu, there are some benefits.”

He felt like for himself, the significance wouldn’t be too great since it didn’t really agree with his dao. He used the body as a seed, the most basic meaning of this path meant he wouldn’t borrow any external things from the world, that he would seek the dao through himself.

If he used the force of others to nurture his primordial spirit, it was nowhere as reliable as the power he cultivated himself.

As if he saw through his doubts, Pan King explained, “This is merely supplementary. Immortal kings won’t completely rely on the external, we all prioritize our own cultivation. However, having some help is always beneficial.”

“This world is a balanced one. What does the immortal king need to do in return?” Shi Hao asked.

“Protect our followers.” Pan King explained.

If there were people who chanted their names with enough sincerity and devoutness, perhaps the immortal king whose name was chanted would sense it. This was especially true for those who were absolutely dedicated, they would be sheltered.

“It was to the extent where there were immortal kings who established true names, telling people of the world that for those who are pious and sincere, they would produce a magical body to rescue them in critical times.”

Pan King told him these things.

The so-called true name was a name that contained an incantation. When the true name was chanted, it was the same as chanting an incantation, offering prayers to immortal kings and communicating with them.

When an immortal king nurtured the primordial spirit, the tremendous will force left behind would produce a reaction, thus possibly descending with a magical body.

Of course, those chanting the true name had to pay the price. Those who weren’t from powerful clans didn’t dare rashly chant an immortal king’s true name because they had to offer sacrifices later.

Sacrifices were rare treasures like Immortal Gold, World Stone and other things. They could also gather more people to worship the immortal king statue.

Shi Hao suddenly understood. He thought of the foreign realm, those undying kings’ true names. They couldn’t be easily called or else there would be great issues!

The two realms might be a bit different, but in regards to calling a true name, it should be pretty much the same.

“If I establish a temple, I don’t need it to nurture my primordial spirit, I only need a will force gathering magical body to protect Imperial Court when I am not there. I can also establish some divine generals, let them receive the benefits of this natural luck.” Shi Hao said.

Pan King’s expression changed, once again warning him that an Imperial Court couldn’t be established.

The two discussed with each other for a long time. Pan King seriously offered him guidance, telling him about many things at the immortal king level, allowing him to take much less detours.

Shi Hao said his goodbyes to Pan King and then went to meet his old friends.

“Shi Hao!”

The Lunar Jade Rabbit cried out with ya ya sounds, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws as she threw herself over. Even after five hundred thousand years passed, she was actually still a little girl, still looking like a teenager, as if she would never grow up.

Her figure was soft and slender, long silver hair falling to her waist, radiance dazzling. Her eyes were extremely large, scarlet red like coral, beautiful and full of life.

The others were all stunned, because now, Shi Hao truly had a great reputation. Even though it was still the past him, some people felt quite a bit of misgivings inside, not daring to act casually before him.

After all, he was now an immortal king, able to stand together with the most powerful giants of Immortal Domain, able to kill immortal kings. All clans were helpless to deal with him.

However, the Lunar Jade Rabbit didn’t care about this, shouting as she rushed over. Her pretty little face was scrunched, upset as she shouted, “You immediately disappeared for five hundred thousand years, did you know how worried we were, how much tears we shed for nothing?!”

When Shi Hao heard this, even though he was now already an immortal king, his heart like iron, he still felt a wave of disappointment and frustration. Five hundred thousand years… he had missed out on a lot, many people already grew old.

At the same time, his heart felt warm. He stroked the Lunar Jade Rabbit’s shining white long hair, about to turn it into a birds nest.

Ah! I am going to fight you to the death!”

The Lunar Jade Rabbit shouted, struggling with everything she had. The snow-white Qilin at her side shrunk its neck. This was one of the descendants of the Vicious Ten! It was precisely the little fella she hugged in the past, now already grown up.

The others were all stunned. Who dared mess around with an immortal king like this?

“Don’t fight, I’ll invite you to eat a large pot of meat and drink large bowls of wine in a bit!” Shi Hao laughed.

Back then, this rabbit always cried out about how she didn’t eat meat, but each time, she would always eat large amounts of the delicious foods Shi Hao roasted. Each time, she would also go completely drunk and crazy.

“Sadly, Cao Yusheng is not here anymore.” The Lunar Jade Rabbit suddenly cried.

It was because in the past, it was often the three of them who ate and drank together.

“I believe that he is still here. I will bring him into Immortal Domain.” Shi Hao said.

In the past, Burial Earth actually burst open, this was outside of his expectations. Who dared slaughter towards Burial Region?

Back then, there was a glistening yellow gourd that descended from above, releasing primal chaos radiance, smashing through Burial Region!

“Really? He is still alive?!” The Lunar Jade Rabbit’s eyes went round, and then she cried out happily, “Good, find him and bring him to Immortal Domain!”

Ten Crown King came, Exiled Immortal came, Great Xu Tuo came…

Meeting again filled all of them with endless amazement. They used to struggle against each other, striving to be the first of their generation. However, after five hundred thousand years, the difference between them grew greater and greater.

“It’s good as long as you are still alive… back then, when we heard the news, we truly were sad, feeling regret for you…” Princess Yao Yue said.

With the Lunar Jade Rabbit speaking first, everyone else also relaxed, no longer holding themselves back, all of them gradually relaxing.

Shi Hao instructed his Imperial Court’s people to prepare a feast, calling over his old friends. This was an extremely lively gathering.

The Five Spirits War Chariot owner Qi Hong, Tuogu Yulong, Wei Family’s only phoenix who was still alive, Little Sky King… A large group of old friends came, including even Shi Yi.

What made Shi Hao frown was that he didn’t see Qin Hao. Meanwhile, no one knew where he went either, his life or death even unknown.

“Grandfather!”

Shi Zhongtian came, bringing A’man with him.

In reality, Shi Hao already sent someone to invite him a long time ago, even preparing to move out himself. It was only because some old friends were here that it wasn’t good to immediately leave.

Now, his grandfather rushed over himself.

The grandfather and grandson embraced each other, full of laughter, their eyes filled with hot tears.

A’man was also smiling, helping them wipe away the tears at the corners of their eyes. She was also crying. These years really weren’t easy.

Many people came, giving Shi Zhongtian their greetings.

“It is good that you are alive!” Chang Gongyan said with a sigh. He appeared, touching cups with Shi Hao. The two hugged each other, both of them sensing the endless regret over these years.

The Heavenly Horned Ant, Mu Qing, Divine Striking Stone and others naturally didn’t treat him like an outsider, helping Shi Hao receive and take care of the various guests.

Shi Hao looked at them. The Heavenly Horned Ant became a true immortal, Ten Crown King also like this… He began to ponder to himself. The most powerful of these were only true immortals. Were there any who could become immortal kings? Even if there were, others might still not give them the time!

The situation in the Realm Sea was too complicated, some giants might slaughter their way over at any time.

In reality, during these five hundred thousand years, many great storms swept through Immortal Domain.

“We have to make some experts yield first!” Shi Hao thought to himself.

In Imperial Court, the Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man long left, the ghost immortals also entering Immortal Domain later on, they even wished to rebel and deal with Imperial Court’s people.

Now, there was only a single one of the three heroic spirits left, still alive, still in the Immortal Dao Domain.

Shi Hao thought back to the Desolate Border of the three thousand provinces, that dragon named ‘Number Two Under Heaven’. There was also a golden daoist who rode an Immortal Gold bull.

Would he be able to invite these two great experts over? Shi Hao thought to himself.

This was the region Pan King ruled. Shi Hao directly transmitted sound, asking Pan King.

The reason why he was in such a hurry was because he felt that Imperial Court’s strength was too weak, he had to quickly gather experts to oversee it.

“Those two creatures were indeed quite strong back then, one dared contend against the True Dragon, and the other was a true Immortal Gold spirit, became a king, sturdy and imperishable, impossible to injure!” Pan King said with a sigh of admiration.

However, the tone changed, his voice full of regret, telling Shi Hao that the two individuals’ primordial spirits had huge problems, pretty much withering away.

The restricted region lord, crystal skull, golden arm bone and other old monsters were also sighing, feeling like it was a pity. Otherwise, those two creatures’ strength would be incomparable.

If they were still in good condition, they wouldn’t be where they were now.

“This is unless you can refine a furnace of great medicine that might be able to reverse fate. However, this medicine is almost impossible to complete, what it needs is too shocking.” Pan King said with a sigh.

The ingredients really were shocking, just the long life immortal medicines needed numbered at least six stalks. It also needed a miraculous medicine that was almost impossible to find -- Three Life Medicine.

This really was astonishing. A stalk of long life medicine was already enough for one to achieve immortality, yet this great medicine needed at least six stalks!

As for long life medicines, Immortal Domain had them. If enough of a price was paid, they could be gathered.

However, that type of wondrous medicine -- Three Life Medicine, it was hard to say. It was because it was so rare and also too precious.

That type of medicine was produced in Burial Earth. From past until now, only one or two stalks had appeared, all of them legendary things.

Moreover, this type of medicine had fatal enticement for undead knights. It was because it would help them evolve towards Burial Kings. That was why if they wanted to remove them from Burial Earth, that would definitely be more difficult than even heaven ascension!

Shi Hao revealed a strange expression!

He decided he had to make a trip back to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.

At this time, Qing Yi came. When they met again, there were too many words she wanted to say. She had too many regrets before, felt grief for too many years. Now, they finally met again.

She didn’t want to leave again, she wanted to stay here forever.

Only, when another young lady walked over, Qing Yi felt a wave of loss again.

That was Huo Ling’er, the Huo Ling’er who fell into darkness. She wore a long black dress, her skin snow-white, pupils deep, carrying a cool and elegant temperament.

Even after all these years, she still didn’t leave. Even when the ghost immortals and Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man left Imperial Court, she still remained.

Using her words, she believed everything Shi Hao said, that she indeed had a ‘past life’.

In the past, when Shi Hao was killed, she actually shed tears, unable to stop herself. She sensed a great sadness, tears continuously sliding down her face. From that day on, she decided to stay behind.

After all these years, she always remained in seclusion within Imperial Court, not coming out.

Shi Hao felt great emotions stirring within him. It was because what he wanted to do now was make Imperial Court flourish. He sensed how pressing time was, that a great decisive battle was going to arrive sooner or later.

He didn’t feel any fear himself, but he was worried for these old friends. If he didn’t take care of them well, there might not be a single one left alive.

If there really was one day when the heavens went crazy from slaughter, even his condition and situation would be hard to say.

“Let’s head over to the immortal king treasuries!”

Shi Hao said. That day, he brought along his old friends, invited the restricted region lord and Pan King, heading to Aocheng, Taishi and Yuanchu’s dwellings, seizing their treasuries.

Shi Hao sat on the back of a Golden Fur Hou, commanding Imperial Court’s troops. It was a majestic sight, leaving many people shaken, the cultivators of all clans revealing shocked expressions.

If it was in the past, if these people dared charge into the residence of an immortal king family, they would definitely be suppressed and killed. However today, the clans didn’t dare say anything.

Everyone knew the grudge Huang shared with the three great immortal king families. Now, he had unmatched prestige, who dared stop him?

It was Aocheg, Taishi and Yuanchu who went too far to begin with, suffering disaster in the end.

“Their treasuries are too abundant!”

Even Pan King sighed in admiration. These three great immortal kings’ dwellings had all types of divine materials and other things piled up like mountains, all of these things were accumulated through endless time, truly astonishing.

An immortal king family’s might was already enough to shake up Immortal Domain, rule over a cosmos, there was even less of a need to talk about three of them.

“What a pity, I was in too much of a rush, didn’t have time to completely clean out Scarlet King’s dwelling!” Shi Hao was regretful.

The three great immortal king clans, forget about everything else, just the number of long life medicines totaled up to five stalks!

As for divine weapons, scriptures and secret texts, they were even more plentiful.

Shi Hao flipped through the three great immortal kings’ scriptures, and then handed all of them to Imperial Court’s old friends, letting them reference them.

Yi, this is World Stone, it can be refined into a great imprint that can suppress mountains and rivers, split the cosmos!”

Wah, Five Elements Immortal Gold! There is enough to make a table, enough to make any type of immortal treasure!”

The Lunar Jade Rabbit, Divine Striking Stone and others were pleasantly surprised.

The three great immortal king dwellings were opened, unknown just how many experts’ eyes went red. This included some immortal kings, their minds shaken, but no one dared take action to seize them.

This was because of the reputation Huang slaughtered out!

If anyone dared lust after them, they had to first examine themselves, see if they could compare to the giant of the other side, Scarlet King!

An endless treasury was extracted. When the three great immortal kings’ treasuries were added up together, it even made the restricted region lord sigh endlessly with astonishment. This harvest was just too plentiful!

In the end, Shi Hao prepared to move out, head to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, make some arrangements. He was going to settle some old things.

“Has Burial Earth really been beaten down?” He made his decision to get to the bottom of this.
