Chapter 1731 - Stepping On the Path of Return

“What is this?” Shi Hao asked.

“A master and servant agreement, an ancient article from the last great era, likely something written by a great figure. It’s something I discovered from historical ruins.” Immortal Qin said.

The golden lion’s face immediately changed, couldn’t help but back up. The harm this thing could inflict him with was just too great, because it had previously heard that once this agreement was signed, then one would completely become a slave.

Shi Hao received it and looked it over. After learning its use, he directly activated it, not showing a hint of hesitation. In that instant, divine light erupted, surrounding him and the golden lion within, shining with incomparable brilliance.

“Ah...” The golden lion screamed, continuously roaring out, struggling intensely. However, it was completely useless.

When everything calmed down, Shi Hao carefully experienced the results. He nodded, expressing his satisfaction.

The golden lion released a low roar, utterly furious. This agreement was too unfair. Once Shi Hao became sick, if he died, it would also die.

Meanwhile, if something happened to it, it wouldn’t affect Huang at all.

There were many restrictions applied to it through the agreement, stating that it had to obey Huang, or else it would suffer a great disaster.

“Instead of saying that this is an agreement, it is better to say that it is a decree left by an immortal dao great one in the past, engraving the most powerful natural laws that cannot be defied.” Immortal Qin said.

For cultivators at the Mortal Dao Domain, once this agreement was successfully activated, it was impossible to resist.

Even though the golden lion was furious, it still couldn’t do anything. In the end, it hung its head in dejection, following behind Shi Hao.

“Since you aren’t willing to follow me, why don’t you just stay behind in the three thousand provinces, I won’t restrict you.” Shi Hao said.

“I refuse!” The golden lion refused. It was because right now, it really was bound to Huang. If Huang died in the lower realms, then it would also die. That was why it wanted to stay by his side, ensure that he continued living.

Apart from this, if it stayed behind in the higher realms, it would definitely be detested by all, beaten and abused by everyone. The first reason was because it came from the other side, the second was because Shi Hao had established too many grudges, recently oppressing many sects. Once he left, all of them would immediately retaliate!

The golden lion didn’t want to become a living target, face everyone’s attacks. In the end, it still felt like it had to follow at Shi Hao’s side.

At the same time, it also felt that this human was quite special. If there really was a turn for the better in the future, it wasn’t entirely impossible for his cultivation to be restored.

In that short instant, it made its decision.

In the end, the warship moved through the sky, carrying a powerful divine dao aura, carrying a mountain of heavenly treasures, as well as those children and his parents, leaving into the distance.

Immortal Qin and Qin Hao saw them out along the way.

The golden lion rolled its eyes, strongly disliking Immortal Qin.

In the end, Immortal Qin basically gave Shi Hao a great gift. That decree basically brought him a powerful and reliable helper.

This was especially the case under his current troublesome situation. With someone like the golden lion, it seemed much more precious.

Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, this place was just that bleak.

This was a past life restricted region, but now, it was instead so quiet.

They arrived. The warship entered the ancient land.

Today, it was no longer that quiet, because after news went out, many people knew that Huang was going to leave, return to the lower realms.

When the various sects learned of this, they all went on their way. It could be considered as all sides moving out!

A few people rushed over, following them here.

SHi Hao didn’t hide anything, nor did he need to. Even though this ancient path existed in this world, not just anyone could go through.

At the very least, not even the golden lion with its heaven-defying bloodline could.

Even he himself had to endure a life and death trial, and only then could he withstand that gate’s law power.

Right now, only he could take this path!

“This is a life restricted region?” Even Immortal Qin sighed with regret.

Even the most powerful inheritance had the day when it declined. This place was a life restricted region, an unmatched figure residing within it! In the past, even when the other side invaded, they could still remain intact on their own, unaffected by the turmoil of the outside world.

The so-called restricted regions couldn’t be stepped into, all other life forms had to stay away. It represented an extreme dao that couldn’t be touched.

Yet now, this place was covered in ashes, all of the mountains ruined, unknown just what kind of battle occurred here to cause the complete destruction of a life restricted region.

“These ashes were all left behind after gods and devils were burned down!” Shi Hao explained.

Right now, not only did Immortal Qin’s face change, even the faces of other sects’ cultivators who followed from the distance paled, shivering with fear.

Ashes covered the ground. Even after millions and millions of years passed, it still wasn’t scattered by wind or rain, still remaining here.

Moreover, golden bones, purple fingernails, black teeth, and other things could occasionally be made out from the ashes, all of them bone material that hadn’t been burned down.

This made everyone feel more and more alarmed!

The remains that were here, did they belong to the restricted region’s experts, or did they belong to outsides?

Shi Hao stood there, moreover starting to derive a great method, releasing yin and yang energies, displaying the greatest power.

In that instant, not only did two streams appear on the ground, one yin one yang, in the end, irregular scenes appeared in the sky as well.

The void split apart. A great black river overflowed, a great golden river shone with incomparable brilliance, surging and roaring, moreover intersecting.

By the great river, there were ruined structures and other things.

They really were life restricted region remains!

Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air when they saw this. It was real after all, this was a place where ‘taboo existences’ had lived.

Shi Hao personally controlled the warship, heading into the sky, closing in on the great yin and great yang rivers.

“Father, mother!”

At the crucial moment, Qin Hao rushed over, tears continuously falling from his eyes, true emotions revealed, hugging his parents while sobbing. Then, he hugged Shi Hao.

“My child, are you really not going to follow us?” Qin Yining also cried, not willing to part with her second son.

“I won’t leave, I wish to become strong here. I will rise up! Even if you all cannot return, I will come to pick you two up!” Qin Hao vowed.

In the end, he wiped away his tears, flying off the warship.

On the ground, many people were looking up. Many great sects came to see this scene when they heard what happened.

“Huang is truly pitiful, having his cultivation destroyed, meeting this end. Can this be considered running away into the lower realms in defeat?”

“Sigh, choosing to banish himself, forced to this extent by a ruined immortal. He previously established such glorious battle accomplishments in Desolate Border, yet his end is so miserable.”

A few people said softly, not daring to speak too loudly out of fear of angering powers like Immortal Palace.

Of course, there were some who remained extremely cold, for example, Heavenly Country, Underworld Earth, Immortal Palace, and others. They looked forward to Shi Hao being crippled, leaving like this is also fine.

It was because in the recent few days, the trouble he stirred up really was too great.

Shi Hao stood at the bow of the ship, controlling the warship, sending it into the void, entering those ruins. He arrived before the roiling rivers. In the end, he turned around, gave those people one last look. Then, with a swing of his sleeves, he collected the warship, only him remaining, towering in the heavens!

Honglong!

Yin and yang energies erupted. Where the two rivers intersected, a gate appeared. Meanwhile, Shi Hao already rushed inside, standing inside the gate!

“He’s going, leaving like this!”

From today forth, this world would no longer have a Huang.

Some people sighed.

There were many others who just silently watched the scene in the life restricted region ruins’ void.
