Chapter 1745 - Young Human Emperor

Only a few people could use this altar. It led straight into the depths of Stone Country Imperial Palace.

This place was extremely quiet, because without Qingfeng’s permission, no one was allowed to get close. This was to protect the secret, prevent the information of this path leading to the outside world from being leaked.

At the same time, even if someone really tried to come here, they needed to grasp Stone Village’s precise coordinates, and only then could one activate this altar, reach Stone Village.

The spacious great hall was just like before, not changed in the slightest.

Shi Hao had previously spent quite some time here, tussling with various powers, quelling Stone Clan’s inner conflict, and then dealt with external enemies, wiping out the allied armies of different clans.

He really was very brave in the past. His cultivation level wasn’t high, yet he dared fight great inheritances, moreover making them taste bitter defeat one after another.

He recalled many people from this place. War King, Ming King, Peng King, and those other elders, were they still well? Back then, they treated him extremely well, seriously assisting him.

That was why before Shi Hao left, he repaid them with his gratitude, refining some Little Nirvana Pills, raising their cultivations to the Supreme Expert Realm so they could protect Stone Country’s peace.

Only, this time, when he returned to Stone Village, he heard some news that Stone Country wasn’t so steady, that there were some troublemakers.

It was because there were some powers who wanted to assist the true Stone Country Emperor’s direct line of descent!

Even though Qingfeng was someone from Stone Country, in the eyes of some from the conservative camp, he was from a branch family, a bit far from the emperor bloodline.

“Before leaving, I refined priceless precious pills, created some supreme exerts. I hope you all did not disappoint me!” Shi Hao said with a cold voice.

He believed that War King and Peng King wouldn’t be against Qingfeng, they weren’t that type of people. It was also precisely because of supreme experts like them that Qingfeng could stably hold the position of emperor.

Of course, those who secretly wanted him overthrown might also feel restraining fear towards the hidden Stone Village.

It was because in some people’s eyes, that place was extremely terrifying. The Little Stone came from this place, Willow Deity previously left this place too. Most importantly, that place might have a deity level Zhuyan.

Shi Hao heard that the reason why there was a disturbance was because the other side also found a deity level existence.

“Even this shoddy palace has the nerve to be called an imperial palace? It’s just like a fireplace back home, let alone compared to that of the other side’s Emperor Clans.” The golden lion curled its lips.

Dang!

Shi Hao’s foot almost made it lay flat on the ground. It immediately shut its mouth.

“No matter how capable you were, didn’t you still end up as my mount in the end?” Shi Hao didn’t feel the slightest bit of restraining fear towards it, because he felt like if it wasn’t loyal, he really would just eat it.

He had a shortcoming that he was never able to change, which was he liked to try different food. This was such a powerful bloodline, a rare Fearless Lion, so it naturally met his criterion of ‘rare delicacy’.

The golden lion immediately lost all of its confidence, unable to even feel hatred. It was because it was completely suppressed. It couldn’t show any hatred at all, could only obey.

It always stirred itself on, telling itself that it was enduring humiliation for a greater cause, that it would get revenge sooner or later, that it would one day step on this scoundrel.

Only, it now began to suspect that recently, it became more and more obedient, already almost becoming a habit. This made it worry, worried that it really might see this as something normal, in the end completely bow down.

However, the only thing that made it happy was that Shi Hao suffered the curse of a ruined immortal. Based on normal reasoning, he shouldn’t be able to run around for much longer, about to be crippled soon!

“Sigh, that damned contract left by the immortal king, how am I supposed to get rid of it?” The golden lion thought to itself.

If it wasn’t for that contract, it felt like its spring would have been near.

Footsteps echoed out. Shi Hao walked out, startling the guards. They were all extremely vigilant.

“You... you...”

In that instant, within the guards, there were a few who were immediately stupefied, so shocked they almost couldn’t speak. Their eyes widened, stammering here.

“Stone Emperor!”

“Young Human Emperor!”

Finally, a few people cried out, incredibly moved, their chests rising and falling greatly, simply unable to believe their eyes.

In the past, Shi Hao used his own strength to restore peace to Stone Country, suppress all rebels, and then dealt with outside enemies. Those who experienced those events were left with too deep of an impression.

These people knelt down one after another with putong putong sounds.

There were some guards who came later, not recognizing Shi Hao. Right now, they all became stupefied. Why would they call a youngster human emperor?

They all found it a bit hard to understand. They had their own human emperor, it was Qingfeng. Why was this the case now?

Time didn’t leave any traces on Shi Hao’s face, still like a decade ago, incredibly delicate and pretty, just that he grew a bit taller. However, he still looked like a youngster.

“Who is he?” The other guards were confused.

“You still aren’t showing your respects? This is the past Little Stone, the past Stone Emperor!” A guard shouted, warning the others.

The two words Little Stone, were even more famous than the name Shi Hao.

When the others heard this, fists could be shoved in their gaping mouths. They were incredibly shocked. This was the past Young Human Emperor?

He... didn’t he ascend the stairway to heaven, only able to slaughter his way into the higher realm? How could he appear here now?

Everyone already knew that once one chose that path, entered the higher realm, they wouldn’t be able to come down again. However, this youngster established another miracle that belonged to himself, appearing again!

“Your Majesty!”

These people all knelt down, incredibly moved. It was because for them, this youngster was a miracle, just too great of a legend.

Back then, the Little Stone shook the world with his power, dominating all enemies, in the end, he fought with the seven gods from the higher realm, even winning. It was simply unimaginable.

Even though many years passed, even though the Little Stone left, his title was still circulating about.

This was also one of the reasons some restless schemers in Stone Country felt restraining fear. The Little Stone suppressed Stone Country, killed many enemies, it truly left all in awe.

“All of you, rise!” Shi Hao ordered.

Then, he didn’t need them to lead the way, directly walking forward. With his current cultivation, his spiritual senses were sharp to the extreme.

Forget about an imperial palace, even if it was a great wilderness, under the scan of his divine consciousness, there would be nowhere to hide. He naturally knew where Qingfeng was.

The palaces were numerous, one after the next. In a mortal country, it really could be considered massive. Moreover, there were divine level formations established here.

Only, compared to the families of the higher realms, this place really did appear a bit simple and ordinary.

Those families’ palaces floated in the sky, divine islands situated in the heavens, spiritual falls falling for tens of thousands of zhang, like an immortal country’s pure land.

“Qingfeng!”

Shi Hao shouted. A few people stood on Imperial City’s walls, as if they were facing a great enemy, currently gazing into the skies outside the city walls. At the lead of the city walls was precisely Qingfeng in battle robes.

After all these years passed, he already grew up. Even though his face was still pretty, it was no longer gentle, his eyes carried resoluteness and decisiveness, truly maturing.

Qingfeng suddenly turned around, immediately seeing Shi Hao. His expression immediately became incredibly excited, loudly shouting, “Little big bro!”

He immediately rushed over, eyes brimming with tears, his true emotions revealed. He really was too moved. They had been separated for ten years already. Now that they reunited, meeting like this, it made him feel great happiness, feeling incredibly emotional.

During these years, regardless of what he faced, even if undercurrents brewed, eyeing him covetously, he still didn’t feel fear, definitely didn’t shed tears. However, right now, his eyes were brimming with tears.

Shi Hao’s emotions were also extremely strong. He faced Qingfeng, eyes turning sour. After being separated for so many years, all the events of the past began to appear vividly in his mind.

Back then, he had protected Qingfeng, rushing to Heaven Mending Pavilion, it really was ‘the young didn’t feel fear’. Two eight or nine year old children traveled through tens of thousands of li of the great wilderness, too many things happened.

Qingfeng’s childhood was extremely bitter. Under the arrangements of the elders, he was sent away in Shi Hao’s place, trapped in a manor in the borders of Stone Country, basically suffering for Shi Hao.

Shi Hao gave him a firm embrace, saying, “Real men don’t cry easily, don’t cry!”

“Little big bro, I missed you so much! I thought that I would never see you again!” Qingfeng said, wiping at his tears.

“I also missed you all, which is why I came back!” Shi Hao said. Then, he scanned his surroundings.

On Imperial City’s walls, everyone was greatly shaken, their bodies trembling. These were all important figures in Stone Country, none of them believing their eyes right now. They were seeing that person again? The young Stone Emperor!

This was especially the case for some old kings, some of them incredibly moved. There were others whose minds sunk, anxious and frightened.

What kind of place was the higher realm? It was a place one didn’t return from! The Little Stone missed the lower realms’ people, so he just decided to come back? When these words sounded, it could only make others sigh. The Young Human Emperor was still domineering.

Who could still come down after going up? Everyone knew that this was completely impossible!

However, the Little Stone not only came down, he was still so domineering, currently staring at them, his presence astonishing.

“I heard that there were people in Stone Country who wanted to stir up trouble?” Shi Hao asked, not hiding anything. It was because now, he didn’t have to feel any misgivings!

Many people’s faces immediately changed.

“There are Rain Clan’s people, they seemed to have made contact with their deity.” Qingfeng said quietly.

“Yi?” Shi Hao was shocked. He never expected that the Rain Clan he had beaten miserably would come out again.

In the past, Rain Clan couldn’t coexist with him in this world. When his grandfather, the Great Demonic God Grandpa Fifteen returned in a rage, he previously fought a great battle in Stone Capital, suppressing those enemies.

Shi Hao knew that a few deities had come out of Rain Clan before, but this was back in the ancient times, already something from very long ago.

This clan had a spell formation, an altar, able to make their Rain Clan’s deity’s figure project through endless space-time, produce an imprint. In the past, this stirred up quite the trouble.

Shi Hao had experienced those events, even more so challenged a ruined decree that Rain Deity left behind.

When he went to the higher realm, he had also paid attention to this matter, investigating whether or not there was an expert like this Rain Deity, but he discovered that there wasn’t one at all.

This left him quite puzzled. Just where was Rain Clan deity’s projection from?

Shi Hao thought to himself. This time, he had to completely investigate this!

As his cultivation became more profound, Shi Hao already understood that someone who could cast their projection from a different realm was definitely not an ordinary expert.

“En, this really is a dragon, around it pure True Dragon energy?” When Shi Hao looked outside the city, he revealed a strange expression!
