Boom!

In just an instant, Shi Hao’s vitality surged intensely and vigorously beyond measure.

Nine Deaths Technique, completed at the ninth level!

Shi Hao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was unfathomably deep, and his pupils were layered intriguingly; yet just after a moment, his gaze returned to normal—gentle and warm.

Yue Ying immediately became excited, "You didn’t die, you didn’t die!"

However, due to her arrogant nature, she said flatly, "You sure are lucky, you managed to pull through!"

"Can’t you say something nice?" Shi Hao said, frustrated.

"Hehe." Yue Ying responded with a cold laugh.

Alright, this is Yue Ying.

Shi Hao didn’t mind, anyway, it was something he had gotten used to.

He jumped to the ground, and just as he intended to stretch his muscles, he heard a cracking sound. Countless cracks appeared on the stone bed, and it shattered.

The essence within had already been absorbed completely by Shi Hao; otherwise, how could he have reached the ninth level of the Nine Deaths Technique in just four months?

"Oh?" he exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that his cultivation had resulted in the bed’s destruction.

Yue Ying, however, had already braced herself. She said flatly, "What are you dazing for? Ride this Battle Hall into the Wanxing River. Although you’ve gotten the greatest opportunity, there are still treasures in the Wanxing River. It would be a pity not to go."

Shi Hao nodded and headed to the deepest part of the Battle Hall. Sure enough, there was also a throne here, but he didn’t need to solve any problems to sit directly on it.

Without hesitation, he sat down. Instantly, the throne shone, and a multitude of information flooded into his mind, explaining how to control this Battle Hall.

Buzz, the Battle Hall rose from the ground, zooming towards the sky.

Here, even without environmental suppression, everyone’s flying height is limited. Only the Battle Hall can carry someone higher.

Moments later, a magnificent Star River appeared before his eyes.

Wanxing River!

Here, stars floated one by one, emitting faint light. But upon closer inspection, they weren’t real celestial bodies but round stones in various colors, each emitting its own light.

"What treasures are there, take me over." Shi Hao said to Yue Ying.

Leaving this guy idle would be a huge waste, wouldn’t it?

Yue Ying snorted, "Aren’t you too lazy?"

"That’s using everyone’s strengths—it’s not wasteful!" Shi Hao said seriously.

Yue Ying couldn’t be bothered with him, saying, "I’ve only been here once. I’m not very familiar with where exactly the treasures are. So, you can explore on your own, and as for time, you don’t need to worry. You can decide when to finish."

Essentially, she held control over this secret realm.

Of course, as the Supreme Treasure of Immortal King Ziyue, her authority was naturally high.

—Shi Hao didn’t know Yue Ying was also Immortal King Ziyue’s daughter. She was sealed in the Supreme Treasure due to her early demise, allowing time for Immortal King Ziyue to find a way to heal her severely damaged soul.

Thus, as the legitimate daughter of the Immortal King, her authority was second only to Immortal King Ziyue.

Shi Hao resigned himself to maneuvering the Battle Hall forward, searching everywhere.

The Wanxing River was vast, and according to Yue Ying, every "star" might contain treasures, so he had to inspect each one carefully; otherwise, he might miss something.

Stars could contain Cultivation Techniques, Immortal Elixirs, or Immortal Gold, depending on Immortal King Ziyue’s mood when he casually sealed things inside. The most precious would be the Immortal King’s martial arts insights, even offering a chance to stride into Immortal King status.

Luckily, the Battle Hall had its own engine, advancing quickly without requiring much effort from Shi Hao.

Since the Wanxing River opened, four months had passed; it must have been thoroughly searched by now, making the chance of finding overlooked items extremely low.

Furthermore, the opening of Wanxing River signaled that the Great Wilderness Realm was about to close—typically within one or two months. But due to Shi Hao’s entrance—more precisely, Yue Ying’s interference—Wanxing River hadn’t closed yet.

Thus, those who entered Wanxing River this time certainly profited, with ample time to search for treasures left by Immortal King Ziyue.

"Forget it, all these treasures have been mostly found already; just go directly to the final Star Lake." Yue Ying suddenly advised.

Geez, couldn’t she say that earlier!

Shi Hao internally griped about the arrogant spirit tool but said nothing, steering the Battle Hall swiftly forward.

"What’s Star Lake?" he asked.

"Duh, when a river concludes, doesn’t it gather into a lake?" Yue Ying retorted mercilessly.

Hehe, can’t it flow into a sea?

Shi Hao chose not to argue. Why bother engaging with an artifact spirit?

Besides, wasn’t she probably feeling sentimental over the scenery? A bit of moodiness was understandable.

Eleven days passed, and a massive Star Lake suddenly appeared before Shi Hao’s vision.

The previous Wanxing River had a width of about a hundred miles—astoundingly wide, but when compared to its length, it was called a river. But here was different; the stars formed a circular pattern, making "lake" a more fitting name.

The width was incredible; Shi Hao could see no end.

Hehe, shouldn’t this be called a sea!

"Rivers form lakes; streams form seas, you fool!" Yue Ying caught Shi Hao’s fleeting thought and corrected him instantly.

Shi Hao rolled his eyes hard, "Really, must you?"

Forget it; he couldn’t be bothered with her.

He flew over the great "lake," dotted with glowing round stones, varying from house-size to small mountain-size—they were clearly distinct.

But which one hid the treasure?

Shi Hao extended his Little Star Universe to sense, and after a while, he halted the battleship and flew out.

Boom!

He immediately felt a full-body shock, with a pressing sensation as if he would be crushed.

Here, a unique force existed; it was fine while in the Battle Hall with its protection, but outside, that pressure surged from all around—like being deep in water where every muscle feels water pressure.

However, Shi Hao had progressed the Nine Deaths Technique to the ninth level!

Previously, he would need to channel energy to resist such pressure, but now his physique was so robust it could withstand it entirely.

He leaped onto a stone, suddenly punching it fiercely. Bang, the stone cracked, splitting into two, and an Immortal Elixir floated out, unharmed.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, his control over power exceptionally perfect.
