Chapter 552 Primordial Cave

Chapter 552: Chapter 552 Primordial Cave

Shi Hao had stayed in the Imperial Capital for a few more days before he became restless.

He couldn’t afford to waste time like this.

He wanted to leave, even if it meant going to the earthly grotto to fight enemies, it was better than sitting idly here.

It was then that he received a notification instructing him to go to the Primordial Cave.

The person who came to notify him was full of envy, wishing to switch places with him.

What was the Primordial Cave?

It was constructed by the first generation Emperor Shi Fengxiao with great effort, stuffed with innumerable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Cultivating inside the Primordial Cave, one’s advancement would be incredibly fast.

Because each entry consumed a vast amount of resources, even among the Stone Clan, only a handful of top-tier geniuses were qualified to enter, and generally, each person could only enter once in their lifetime.

Of course, there were exceptions, such as Shi Zhong.

He was only in his twenties, yet he had already entered the Primordial Cave three times, unprecedented and perhaps unmatched by future generations.

Before him, Shi Feng was trained as the future heir of the Stone Clan, but after his disappearance, Shi Zhong took over this great responsibility, that’s why he received the special privilege of entering the Primordial Cave three times.

It was said that Shi Zhong’s cultivation had at least reached that of the Supplementing Divine Temple, and his combat power overwhelming his peers, incredibly strong.

Yet, he had not made his name known on any list, also incredibly low-profile.

A part of the reason Shi Zhong’s cultivation elevated so swiftly was because he had entered the Primordial Cave three times.

The messenger was also a descendant of the Stone Clan, yet he had never entered the Primordial Cave, so naturally, he was immensely envious of Shi Hao.

Having just confirmed his identity as a member of the Stone Clan, to receive such an honor was bound to incite jealousy.

—He hadn’t made any significant achievements, truly letting discontent brew.

Shi Hao didn’t care about others’ opinions, since this was a good opportunity to improve his cultivation, he saw no reason to refuse.

He followed the man and set out for the Primordial Cave.

This was still within the confines of the Imperial Palace, moreover, it was the most heavily guarded area, watched over by a large number of guards at all times, not so much as a mosquito could get through.

After verifying his token, the guards finally let Shi Hao in.

"You can stay inside for three days," said the guard.

Shi Hao nodded and headed into the cave.

This was actually a natural cave, because the Imperial Palace was so large, it enveloped an entire small mountain within it.

Upon entering, Shi Hao immediately sensed the abundant flow of energy, which invigorated his soul.

What a great place.

Shi Hao walked briskly, having heard clearly from others before arriving that he needed to reach the deepest part of the Primordial Cave to gain the greatest benefits.

He hadn’t walked far when he discovered that the energy here was so rich that it had liquefied, forming puddles.

With one step, the Energy Fluid was agitated, instantly vaporizing into gas, rising up and taking various forms of Ferocious Beasts and Spiritual Medicines.

Shi Hao knew that this energy was extracted from these Ferocious Beasts and Spiritual Medicines, through very special methods that had preserved the original properties of these creatures, hence their ability to evolve back into existence now.

Even Yuan Chengmie wouldn’t know such a skill.

Indeed, each individual who had built the Sky Ladders had their unique aspects.

Letting go of such reflections, Shi Hao strode deeper into the cave.

The deeper he went, the denser the energy became, with Energy Fluid rising above his head, allowing him to swim through it.

At last, he had arrived.

He reached the deepest part of the Primordial Cave and found a circle of runes beneath the Energy Fluid, densely packed and exceedingly complex.

Even with the memories of Yuan Chengmie, he still found it difficult to decipher.

Because it involved Heaven and Earth Rules of the Heaven Building Ladder level.

Shi Hao did not attempt to unravel it but instead sat down, letting his entire body be seated atop the runes.

Immediately, the circle of runes lit up, and boom, the entire Energy Pool started boiling, spinning rapidly, with Shi Hao at the very center of the whirlpool.

No, it should be said that the circle of runes was the actual center of the whirlpool, and Shi Hao, because he sat upon them, incidentally became the center as well.

Endless energy surged towards him, flooding into his body while enhancing his Physical Strength and Soul Power.

Shi Hao was overjoyed and quickly gathered it all.

He needn’t worry about the augmentation of his strength; with his Black Hole Physiognomy, his strength increased too quickly. However, the enhancement of his Soul Power was a bottleneck, already restraining his cultivation progress.

Look, to enhance his Soul Power, he even used Weng Nanqing as a shield, which shows how much he currently craved the progress in Soul Power.

—If Weng Nanqing knew about this, she would definitely be furious.

So many people sought such a task, and yet you still disdain it?

He also operated the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture to maximize the efficiency.

Boom, the energy surged so powerfully that it seemed as if it would burst his body open.

Shi Hao tried his best to use this energy for boosting his Soul Power, he truly wasn’t worried about his strength.

This Primordial Cave really was a wonderful place. You should know that the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for enhancing Soul Power were extremely precious, even a celestial daughter like Weng Nanqing worried about it, giving Shi Hao a Nurturing Spirit Netherworld Fruit was even painful for her.

But here, the Soul Power could experience tremendous enhancement.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but think, Shi Zhong had entered this place three times, what astonishing benefits did he receive?

If he couldn’t match in frequency, then he just had to make up for it through the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.

Shi Hao frantically absorbed the benefits, striving to increase his Soul Power as much as possible.

A day passed, he operated the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture again, and instantly, the growth of his Soul Power was visibly incredible.

Another day passed, he once again operated the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture, and by the time almost three days were up, he hurriedly operated the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture for the fourth time. Although he could only perform eight revolutions, it still brought him plenty of benefits.

Now, the power of his soul was strong enough to push him to the stage of Dharma appearance.

"I needn’t worry about the Self-Observation step now, but after stepping into the Founding King Court, the requirements for Soul Power will be higher, so I’ll still have concerns!" he stroked his chin, "If I could come in a few more times, I wouldn’t need to worry about the Founding King Court either."

Just then, the circle of runes below dimmed, the Energy Fluid abruptly stopped spinning, and no more energy flowed into his body.

Of course, if he actively absorbed it, he could still gain a lot of benefits.

But this was the people outside signaling to him that the three days were up, you can come out now.

Shi Hao was not shameless; he walked out of the Primordial Cave.

On the surface, there seemed to be no progress in his cultivation, but the strength of his Soul Power had soared to the Dharma appearance stage, meaning he only needed to perfect his physiognomy and correspondingly enhance his Physical Strength to reach a shockingly high speed straight to the Dharma appearance.

After leaving the Primordial Cave, Shi Hao immediately went into closed-door training, since his Soul Power was already strong enough, he could now strive for the sixth appearance.

"Yue Ying," Shi Hao called softly.

"I know, I know, you useless master, why are you still alive when you’re so useless? Heavenly Dao really is blind!" Yue Ying was still as venomous with her words.
