Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 854: Staying in the Mortal Realm

With Shi Hao’s current prowess, entering the Ascending to Saint Position area is no longer a problem.

However, because he just became the Great Sacrificial Heaven, he actually entered the Ascending to Saint Position area, which naturally broke another record, startling the entire Great Void Realm.

Alright, everyone knows now that Asura has the ability to enter the Ascending to Saint Position area.

What does this mean?

Shi Hao has barely gained the strength to enter the Ascending to Saint Position.

This is too terrifying; this child’s extraordinary talent truly hasn’t diminished!

Back when he entered the Great Sacrificial Heaven area at the Supplementing Divine Temple, and then after advancing to the Great Sacrificial Heaven, he could again enter the Ascending to Saint Position area, it practically shattered everyone’s confidence.

This era sees monsters like Shi Hao appearing, leaving other talents wondering how to survive.

Oh no, there’s also Shi Zhong, who is almost as exceptional as Shi Hao.

One era, two extraordinary talents burst forth, making all so-called geniuses dim in comparison.

This time, Shi Hao of course learned to be tactful. As soon as the record was broken, he returned to the Great Sacrificial Heaven area, waiting for the storm to calm before re-entering the Ascending to Saint Position area, this way no one knows that he is Asura.

After several battles, unsurprisingly Shi Hao achieved total defeat.

He could barely fight against a first step Ascending to Saint Position, but that is based on him needing to leverage his body strength, his physical defense being too solid, which is a massive advantage.

But in the Great Void Realm, this advantage does not exist.

Without the advantage of his physical prowess, he became stretched thin even against a first step Ascending to Saint Position, quickly facing defeat.

No worries, Shi Hao needs such setbacks to find his shortcomings in cultivation and make progress.

This time, as soon as Shi Hao entered the Great Void Realm, he received a message.

This came from an unknown person, signed as "Celestial Guest".

Since Shi Hao made a name for himself, there has been a flood of people contacting him through the Great Void Realm every day, making him quite harassed, so unless the message is from Shi Feng or Xiao Hei, he ignores them.

Yet this time, he was somewhat curious.

Celestial Guest?

He opened the message to check, the Celestial Guest claimed to be Rong Jiucheng, from Hongwu Immortal Domain, wanting to have a battle with Shi Hao.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Hao decided to accept this challenge.

Su Manman has always said, in the Immortal Realm, he could only rank within the top hundred in the same stage.

But that was several years ago, Shi Hao has since cultivated Little Star Universe and used World Tree Essence to fuel his Incense Flame, an upgrade in strength of earth-shattering proportions, he does not believe he can only rank within the top hundred.

Even the top ten is not Shi Hao’s goal, his sword points at number one!

Therefore, he wants a battle with this Rong Jiucheng, and through him, challenge the strongest talents in the Immortal Realm.

He returned the message, and soon Rong Jiucheng contacted him. Both agreed to battle in the Great Sacrificial Heaven area.

Not in reality, because Shi Hao’s current target is too large, many suspect he has obtained Ding Lingfeng’s Divine Storehouse, something that would tempt even Immortal Realm heavyweights. Shi Hao naturally will not lightly expose his whereabouts creating trouble for himself.

He went to the Great Sacrificial Heaven area, where Rong Jiucheng was already waiting for him.

"Come battle!"

Rong Jiucheng didn’t say a word, directly attacking Shi Hao.

Both immediately engaged in a fierce battle, the fight was extremely intense.

Such a battle soon attracted spectators.

Seeing that one side in the battle was Asura, everyone was utterly shocked.

What kind of person could fight Asura to such a standstill!

This Rong Jiucheng is indeed strong, his strength comparable to Shi Hao, yet Shi Hao didn’t know what exact cultivation level he was.

Power above eight sacrifices, approaching nine sacrifices is truly formidable, however, achieving such power with four sacrifices compared to seven sacrifices is a completely different concept.

The two fought tirelessly for most of the day, ending in a draw.

"Asura, you should come to the Immortal Realm!" Rong Jiucheng is indeed straightforward, "The Mortal Realm constrains you too much, firstly, for you to reach Heaven Building Ladder, it’ll take at least ten years, whereas in the Immortal Realm, geniuses who advance to Heaven Building Ladder before thirty years old are common."

"Secondly, the rules of the Immortal Realm are richer, allowing your strength to climb to new heights."

"Asura, if you agree, I can help arrange crossing you into the Immortal Realm."

Shi Hao considered it for a moment, and chose to reject.

This is not only due to principled considerations; in the future, he plans to ascend with Yunding Star—if Gu Tong and Demon Lord’s wife both fail, his rational thoughts upon martial arts also play a role.

Why is there a distinction between Immortals and Mortals, why is the Mortal Realm’s peak Heaven Building Ladder?

Why did Ding Lingfeng live through nine lives in the Mortal World?

All these make Shi Hao acknowledge, from Breaking the Extreme to Heaven Building Ladder should all be cultivated in the Mortal Realm, achieving the most solid foundation.

At least as far as he knows, the Almighty who created the Primordial Scripture, and Ding Lingfeng who only went to the Immortal Realm a few ten thousand years ago, both went from the Mortal Realm to the Immortal Realm, and all were incredibly amazing.

Indeed, people in the Immortal Realm are generally strong, coming to rank in the top hundred of the Great Sacrificial Heaven might see ninety-nine from the Immortal Realm, this is a fact, but the number one could be a Mortals denizen.

Only by enduring harsh conditions can one reach the peak!

Based on such understanding, Shi Hao insists on cultivating to Heaven Building Ladder in the Mortal Realm, relying on his own strength to enter the Immortal Realm.

There should also be other gains when crossing the Immortal-Mortal channel.

Rong Jiucheng was quite regretful; he genuinely wanted to invite Shi Hao into the Immortal Realm, but alas.

Shi Hao then seized the opportunity to inquire about the strongest among contemporary talents in the Immortal Realm.

This question is not so easy to answer.

Because the Immortal Realm is huge, so huge that most people are confined to one domain, with essentially no opportunity to venture out.

Regarding Rong Jiucheng, he can claim the title of the first person among the younger generation in the Hongwu Immortal Domain.

Though he is still in the Great Sacrificial Heaven, having cultivated to six sacrifices, his combat power close to nine sacrifices, he shines immensely.

Above him, of course, there are talents of Ascending to Saint Position and Heaven Connecting Road level, but in same-level battles, he is undeniably strongest, thus earning the title of the first person among the younger generation of the Hongwu Immortal Domain.

And within the Immortal Realm, how many Immortal Domains are there?

At least with Rong Jiucheng’s current status and position, he is clueless.

In fact, he hasn’t even traveled one percent of the Hongwu Immortal Domain, needless to learn how vast the outside world is.

Shi Hao also asked him about the Su Family, but there is no prominent Su Family in the Hongwu Immortal Domain.

Therefore, the Su Family should not be in the Hongwu Immortal Domain.

—The Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion is also such, not present in the Hongwu Immortal Domain.

Regarding the Jade Immortal, considered close to the pinnacle of the pyramid in the Immortal Realm, yet Rong Jiucheng has never heard of Master Qian Ji, indicating the latter is certainly not in the Hongwu Immortal Domain.

To Shi Hao, the Immortal Realm revealed a corner to him, but like an iceberg buried underwater, much more remains unknown.
