Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 740 Mediation

"What is that expression?"

Shi Hao glanced at the servant and asked, "Who?"

"A fairy!" said the servant, his face also showing a mesmerized look.

Suddenly, Weng Nanqing’s face slightly changed.

Jealousy.

—Why was it a woman who came looking for Shi Hao? And right to her family’s doorstep!

You, how many romantic debts have you incurred outside?

Moreover, his own servant actually called her a fairy, and that infatuated expression wasn’t feigned.

A formidable rival!

"I’ll accompany you to meet her!" Weng Nanqing said.

Shi Hao had done nothing guilty, so naturally, he wasn’t uneasy, he nodded: "Alright."

Who was it that had come here to see him?

Together, the two reached the front hall, where they saw a woman standing gracefully, dressed in a snow-white skirt. Even just her silhouette exuded an ethereal, fairy-like charm.

This woman had a slender figure, Shi Hao was already considered tall, but she was definitely not shorter than him, yet it did nothing to detract from her beauty, her proportions were nothing short of perfect.

On hearing the noise of Shi Hao and another entering, the woman turned around.

Suddenly, Shi Hao felt a sense of astonishment.

Beautiful, truly beautiful, and moreover, her beauty was unworldly, untouched by a trace of mortal vulgarity, filled with vivacity.

However, what kind of temperament was Shi Hao? He immediately regained his composure.

It was Weng Nanqing who felt as if facing a great adversary.

This woman was pleasing to her eyes as well, she even felt somewhat ashamed in comparison. How potent must her allure be for men?

So perfect, like a supreme treasure, how many people would want to claim her for themselves?

Shi Hao smiled faintly, "Miss, it seems we are unacquainted, aren’t we?"

The woman in white also looked at Shi Hao and said, "My name is Shi Huayun, indeed, this is our first meeting."

Hearing their conversation, Weng Nanqing slightly relaxed, but still, she dared not let her guard down.

This woman’s chilly demeanor was fairy-like, which might stir up the desire to conquer in many people.

"Shi?" Shi Hao frowned, "Someone from Stone Country?"

Otherwise, why would she come looking for him?

Shi Huayun shook her head: "It’s just a coincidence that I also have the surname Shi, I have no connection with Stone Country."

Such a coincidence?

"Miss Shi, please have a seat," Shi Hao gestured with his hand.

Shi Huayun sat down as told, every gesture was chilly yet graceful.

"Since we are unacquainted, for what matter have you specially come to visit?" Shi Hao asked.

Shi Huayun revealed a faint smile, instantly providing a strong visual delight: "I came specifically to resolve the grievances between you and Shi Zhong."

Ha!

Shi Hao sneered inwardly, still saying there’s no relation with Stone Country, if it’s unrelated, then why bring it up?

Bored much?

"Miss Shi, what does the feud between Shi Zhong and I have to do with you?" he countered.

Shi Huayun pondered slightly, then said, "Well, I might as well tell you, whether it’s you or Shi Zhong, both have been favored by the headmaster of Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion. Once you ascend to the Immortal Realm, you will be taken under the headmaster’s wing."

"Since you are to be future brothers, naturally, we cannot watch you destroy each other."

Hmm?

Shi Hao stared at her, "You come from the Immortal Realm!"

Shi Huayun did not deny it but simply said, "Both you and Shi Zhong are geniuses who are rare through the ages, and the Headmaster holds great expectations for you."

Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, hmm, this must be a sect founded by Master Qian Ji.

Shi Hao sneered. No wonder Shi Zhong was able to leave Yunding Star— with the help of an Almighty from the Immortal Realm, it was naturally an easy task.

He shook his head, "If Shi Zhong can restore my constitution and bring my mother back to life, I might consider only crippling him halfway."

Shi Huayun frowned slightly but remained graceful and breathtakingly beautiful, "Shi Zhong is now a Great Sacrificial Heaven, having been tempered by the Power of Heaven and Earth three times, his strength far surpasses yours. I am helping you by resolving this enmity between you!"

Shi Hao spread his hands, "I don’t care, let Shi Zhong come over and see if he can kill me!"

You really are shameless.

Shi Huayun showed displeasure, thinking that although she enjoyed a high status in the Immortal Realm and was revered by many, upon coming to the Mortal Realm, not only did she not receive the respect she deserved from Shi Hao, but she was rather met with a cold reception, which naturally angered her.

"You, watch yourself." She left these words behind and drifted away.

"Is she an Immortal?" Weng Nanqing asked, her face full of worry.

Shi Zhong was already terrifyingly strong, and now, as the heir of Stone Country, having gained the appreciation of a major figure in the Immortal Realm, Shi Hao had formed a deadly feud with him. How much danger might this bring Shi Hao?

Shi Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Even if it’s an Immortal, once they enter the Mortal Realm, they can only exert the strength of the Sky Ladder; otherwise, they will be targeted by the Power of Heaven and Earth, and even an Immortal would have a great chance of falling."

"But, Shi Zhong has already made three sacrifices, which is simply... unimaginable!" Weng Nanqing said, showing great admiration.

Great Sacrificial Heaven involves offering sacrifices through the Divine Temple to heaven, causing the heaven and earth to resonate and thus obtaining the tempering of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

The stronger one’s understanding of martial arts, the stronger the Power of Heaven and Earth obtained from the sacrifice.

However, most warriors of the Great Sacrificial Heaven can only sacrifice once and receive one tempering of the Power of the Azure Sky.

Shi Zhong had obtained three temperings, and how long had he stepped into the Great Sacrificial Heaven?

Just over a year, at most two years.

It’s too exaggerated, too astonishing.

"From what I know, even my great-grandfather, a powerful figure of the Heaven Connecting Road, initially only received three temperings of the Power of Heaven and Earth, and the entire process took two hundred seventy-three years!" Weng Nanqing continued.

Shi Hao nodded. Shi Zhong was indeed powerful; no wonder he had broken every millennium record of the Great Sacrificial Heaven in the Great Void Realm.

Three temperings of the Power of Heaven and Earth!

This is closely related to the number of times one can receive the tempering of the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Great Sacrificial Heaven and the ultimate height one can reach. If it’s once, then one might only be able to stay at Great Sacrificial Heaven for a lifetime and never progress further.

Twice might grant the chance to Ascend to Saintly Position; three times might grant the chance to advance to the Heaven Connecting Road; four times, the chance to advance to the Sky Ladder.

Note that these are all just possibilities. Many have made two sacrifices but died old in the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

But with three sacrifices, one definitely qualifies to Ascend to Saintly Position.

With Shi Zhong’s talents, becoming a Sky Ladder is undoubtedly his destiny, so his limit is not just three sacrifices.

The critical point is, his time of three sacrifices was too short as well.

Less than two years!

Simply unprecedented.

At that moment, Shi Hao even wanted to meet Gu Shiyun again to ask how many times he had sacrificed and how long it had taken.

What about Yuan Chengmie?

Four sacrifices, and the span was two hundred twenty-one years, impressively long.

Comparing that, it’s evident how monstrous Shi Zhong is.

Shi Hao pondered for a moment and then smiled.

Such an opponent was fitting; he could fully arouse his fighting spirit.
