Chapter 252 -252: The Seven Extinct Sky Wolves

Finally, Shi Hao had taken the ninth step.

Reflecting on his journey, it had taken him—well, about a year, which really wasn’t long at all.

He must press on with renewed effort.

To Shi Hao, stepping into the ninth step was not the end of Soul Nurturing, but simply a beginning.

The tenth step was the real challenge.

The Soul Seed Puppet of the ninth step was pitch-black like ink. If it could manifest in the human world, it would resemble the ghosts of legends.

Could it be that the legends of ghosts originated from this?

Shi Hao pondered this for a moment before immediately resuming his practice of the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.

The Ganoderma Piece still contained some energy, which should be enough to elevate him to the peak of the ninth step.

Let’s go!

The Soul Tentacle suddenly retracted, but Shi Hao was surprised to find the Soul Seed Puppet bound by nine Golden Threads, creating a strong suppression effect. As energy was drawn into his body, it then seemed to be forcibly squeezed out again.

This was unacceptable.

If the energy were to overflow outside his body, then this transformation would be wasted.

“Get back in there!”

The Soul Seed Puppet forcibly resisted the bondage of the Golden Threads, allowing the energy to circulate violently within his body.

After a while, Shi Hao finally absorbed this round of energy. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the Soul Seed Puppet also ceased its resistance. Suddenly, the nine Golden Threads bound it tightly once more.

Shi Hao felt that the binding was tighter than before.

This was normal, as he had absorbed the energy of one round, and the Soul Seed Puppet had grown slightly, making it naturally more sensitive to the binding.

Normally, this should have been a very slow process. But, thanks to the abnormally powerful Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture and Purple Cloud Ginseng, one round had significantly enhanced his cultivation, making him acutely aware of the sensation.

No wonder, the higher the realm, the more difficult the cultivation, and the harder the breakthroughs.

With the Soul Seed Puppet bound by Golden Threads, how many could endure and continue to advance?

Advancing was difficult, not to mention breaking through.

Once more.

Shi Hao rallied, and the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture started running again, beginning the second round.

As a vast wave of energy surged, the Soul Seed Puppet once again strained against the Golden Threads, absorbing the incredibly rich energy, refining and elevating both Shi Hao’s physical body and soul.

After nine rounds, Shi Hao also felt incredibly strained.

He couldn’t help but grit his teeth. If advancing to the ninth step was already so difficult, one could imagine that under the pressure of the nine Golden Threads, the difficulty would definitely increase, perhaps even to an insurmountable level.

Otherwise, why would the world be lacking in Soul Nurturers who had reached the tenth step?

If it were just a matter of difficulty, there would always be exceptional geniuses who could break through limits. Shi Hao believed that he was not the only one contemplating breaking through the Nine Extremes, the ninth step.

From his previous training, it was evident how difficult breaking the nine Golden Threads could be.

To break through to the Other Shore, one didn’t need to shatter the Golden Threads on one’s body but rather let the soul directly cross the Soul Sea.

This worry just flickered through Shi Hao’s mind and he immediately set it aside.

First, strive to reach the peak of the ninth step.

“Woof woof woof!” A barking sound erupted as a huge white wolf charged in.

What in the world?

After making eye contact, no matter how majestic and powerful this wolf appeared, Shi Hao recognized it immediately—it was that damn big yellow dog!

Damn, you ate a piece of Lingzhi and you turned from a dog into a wolf?

Just an awakening of bloodline, and you even crossed species?

“How about it, am I not particularly majestic and powerful?” the big yellow dog boasted with its head held high, exuding an arrogant demeanor.

Well, it might have changed its appearance, but its sly nature remained utterly unchanged.

You started talking?

It seems like your spiritual intelligence has fully awakened, and you have even roused your entire bloodline too.

“Hehe, Grandpa has awakened the bloodline and just realized how incredibly awesome I am!” the big yellow dog said proudly. “I’m a descendant of the Seven Extremes Sky Wolf, a being that once roamed the world!”

“Human, hurry and acknowledge me as your master, and I’ll take care of you from now on, you’ll eat—”

“Ouch!”

The consequence of being too full of oneself was getting beaten up.

Bam Bam Bam, moments later, the big yellow dog lay on the ground with a face that showed no will to live, while Shi Hao sat on top of it.

Oddly enough, it had reverted to its appearance as a bald-tailed yellow dog.

Shi Hao realized that the previous white wolf form was the result of the creature using its bloodline power, and now that he had disrupted it, it naturally reverted to its original form.

“You were born to be under someone else,” Shi Hao said with a laugh. “Do you admit it?”

If you put down your fist, I definitely won’t accept!

The big yellow dog nodded honestly, squeezing out a flattering smile: “You’re right, boss.”

“Get lost!” Shi Hao stood up, kicked out a foot, and sent the big yellow dog flying.

“Woof!” The big yellow dog fled in a miserable state.

Its strength wasn’t weak at all. After awakening its bloodline, its cultivation soared to the eight steps, an astonishing progress, and it even had considerably formidable capabilities to fight above its level. Unfortunately, it had met Shi Hao who was even more freakish and had no choice but to submit.

“Never imagined that what started as a mere thought actually resulted in bagging a descendant of the Seven Extremes Sky Wolf.”

Shi Hao muttered.

However, the big yellow dog had only awakened the bloodline of the Seven Extremes Sky Wolf, but how pure it was is unknown; it certainly wasn’t very high. Otherwise, it would have permanently maintained the form of the Seven Extremes Sky Wolf rather than only entering it when using its bloodline power.

“The Second Elder and the others have waited in vain and will certainly return.”

“Knowing I have already returned, they certainly won’t accept such a result and will start trouble with me.”

“Right now, I’m merely a follower of a Core Disciple, not even a real disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, so these people can act against me without any restraint.”

“I need to get a protective talisman.”

The easiest solution would actually be to run away, as vast as the world is, the Zhenwu Sect can’t possibly reach everywhere.

But with Lu Yun not yet dealt with, how could Shi Hao willingly leave?

Lu Yun had forcibly set a three-move challenge, intending to drive him to his death, and how could Shi Hao forget such a deep grudge?

“As uninteresting as it is, I can only play the Alchemy Dao card now.”

Shi Hao got up and headed for the Hall of Elixirs.

In the Zhenwu Sect, besides martial arts practice, there were also the Hall of Elixirs, Artefact Hall, Formation Hall, and more, offering more variety than the White Cloud Sect.

He decided to elevate his Alchemy Dao level, aiming to become a four-star Pill Master. With that reputation guarding him, the Second Elder and the others would have to think twice before laying a hand on him, considering the consequences of making an enemy of Pill Masters.

The Zhenwu Sect was also just a four-star power on the Eastern Fire Continent, not considered top-tier, and with the vast Alchemy Dao, they were even less significant.

After a while, he arrived at the Hall of Elixirs.

The so-called Hall of Elixirs was actually a vast estate, built by some ancient powerful predecessor who had cleaved a mountain in half.

Thus, the estate occupied a large area and was quite flat.

“Who are you?” asked a guard at the entrance, stopping Shi Hao as he looked unfamiliar.

Shi Hao smiled and presented his Alchemy Dao Identity Token, into which he infused his Soul Power, immediately illuminating his name.

Undoubtedly the same person.

The guard immediately smiled: “Alchemist Shi, may I ask if you are here to observe or to perform alchemy?”

Shi Hao was taken aback, then he said, “To perform alchemy.”

The guard nodded and said, “This is your robe and number tag, please keep it safe,” passing him a package.

Hey, what’s going on?
