Chapter 556: Chapter 556 Biological Parents

Sha Yutang was also in complete despair.

Who would have thought that Shi Hao would have a Supplementing Divine Temple by his side?

Now, all the elites of the West Rock Alliance were going to die here. How many Self-Observations did the academy have left?

Just three.

With such a West Rock Alliance, indeed, they were still a second-tier force in the Heavenly Palace Academy, but was there a day for them to rise again?

The gap with the first-tier forces was getting wider, and they were only slightly better than the third-tier forces.

"Run, save whoever can be saved!" Sha Yutang shouted at the top of his lungs. In this moment, he showed the responsibility of an alliance leader.

He forcibly burned his life essence to enhance his combat power, engaging in the final battle of his life.

He definitely couldn’t withstand a Supplementing Divine Temple, but even if he could only block for an instant, he could buy a bit of time for others to escape. Perhaps someone could manage to get away.

However, with just another flick of his fingers, Qin Qing reduced Sha Yutang to rubble; he didn’t stand a chance.

The others didn’t even have time to run. When the Supplementing Divine Temple made a move, with the crushing power of two great realms, they were only destined to be instantly annihilated.

Just like that, a few moments passed, and all members of the West Rock Alliance were down.

After this, the West Rock Alliance truly weakened, losing any significant presence within the academy.

Shi Hao just glanced over before withdrawing his gaze; he had no interest in such trivial beings.

However, the root cause of this incident was actually trivial. It began with Qian Jianxiong and a few others wanting the treasures on Hei Shihao’s body, resulting in a feud that deepened, leading to the near elimination of the West Rock Alliance now.

They brought this upon themselves.

Shi Hao was not the least bit moved. Was he supposed to let the West Rock Alliance kill him to be happy?

"Let’s go."

They continued their sweep. With Qin Qing’s help, Shi Hao naturally had fewer concerns, and so he swept through one habitat of Elemental Creatures after another.

More than twenty days later, Shi Hao didn’t stay any longer and chose to leave.

He returned to the academy, exchanged his Contribution Value, and then entered the Great Void Realm, beginning to further perfect his White Hole Dharma Body.

The White Hole is the antithesis of the Black Hole, but the Dharma appearance of the Black Hole only requires the bunny to eat, eat, and eat to reach perfection, while the White Hole does not work that way. It required Shi Hao to constantly ponder and study.

Seventeen days passed in the outside world, while Shi Hao spent a full one hundred seventy days in the Great Void Realm before returning to his physical body.

The moment he returned, his spirit faced rejection from his body, and it took a while before it adapted again.

The White Hole Dharma Body was almost perfected, but his Contribution Value was used up. He could no longer stay in the Great Void Realm.

Moreover, one couldn’t stay in the Great Void Realm for too long, a maximum of twenty days; otherwise, the spirit might not be able to return to the body.

So, even if Shi Hao had more Contribution Value, three more days in the outside world would force him out of the Great Void Realm, and he’d have to wait for at least another month before he could re-enter.

He was close, not far from reaching the peak of the Dharma appearance’s six phases.

Just as Shi Hao was thinking about re-entering the Elemental Cave, he suddenly received a letter from Shi Dang.

——His birth parents had been found.

Huh?

Without hesitation, Shi Hao immediately set off toward Stone Country.

Four days later, he and Qin Qing had returned to the Imperial Capital.

Shi Hao immediately went to see Shi Dang.

"This is the information on your parents," Shi Dang handed over an investigative report.

Shi Hao took it and quickly skimmed through it.

In these documents, his father was named Shi Gang, and his mother, Shen Nanlian.

Shi Gang was but a minor figure in the Stone Clan, with no exceptional talent in martial arts, hence he took on the role of a merchant more.

About twenty years ago, he and Shen Nanlian went to the Northern Silver Continent on business, but unfortunately, they encountered a tsunami, and possibly some sea ferocious beasts or the like, in short, everyone on the ship had perished.

As for how Shi Hao could have drifted to the Cursed Land, that could only be described as a miracle.

Was this really the truth?

Shi Hao pondered, setting aside the matter of his resemblance to Shi Feng for a moment, the key point was, although the route from the South Wood Continent to the Northern Silver Continent did indeed pass quite close to the Eastern Fire Continent, how ludicrously low were the chances for an infant to ride the winds and waves, to safely evade dreadful weather and even marine carnivores, and to drift all the way to the Cursed Land?

Shi Hao knew he was different from the rest, or else Yuan Chengmie’s attempt to seize his body wouldn’t have failed, inadvertently bestowing upon him a great gift.

But that was at the level of the spirit. Shi Hao’s physical body was quite ordinary, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been crippled and fallen from the clouds in the first place.

So how could he possibly have drifted across the ocean to arrive at the Cursed Land?

Moreover, he wasn’t found by the seaside, but in a river!

Shi Hao believed that the information was real, that there were such people as Shi Gang and Shen Nanlian and that they did indeed have a son who went out to sea to do business, but whether that son was him, that was a matter deserving of at least ten thousand question marks.

The possibility was too low.

However, he didn’t directly express his doubts, instead, he took the investigative report and left, intending to investigate it personally.

He traveled to Shi Gang’s hometown.

——With the Stone Clan having so many people, only those of the direct lineage lived in the Imperial Capital, and only the cream of the crop among them, or those with exceptional talent, had the privilege of residing within the Imperial City.

Peripheral clan members like Shi Gang naturally lived in other cities, embracing the philosophy of ’better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.’

Shi Gang’s hometown was in Puyang City.

When Shi Hao found the Stone Clan branch there and explained his purpose, he was immediately greeted with warm hospitality.

Firstly, he was a big talent who had made a name for himself in the Imperial Capital, and secondly, he was very likely a member of their branch, so for either reason, they were eager to treat Shi Hao with enthusiasm.

This branch of the Stone Clan wasn’t very powerful, with the strongest in cultivation only at the Self-Observation realm, which was on par with Shi Hao, thus even the head of the branch was alarmed and personally kept him company.

A Bloodline Talisman was only effective between parents and their children; it was useless for siblings, or other relatives. Thus with Shi Gang and Shen Nanlian deceased, it was impossible for Shi Hao to prove any relationship with them from the source.

But truly, Shi Gang and his wife were too ordinary, and their appearance was far too different. The story of surviving at sea was filled with impossibilities, so how could Shi Hao believe that he was the son of Shi Gang and Shen Nanlian, who luckily survived a shipwreck?

The only thing that made sense was that Shi Gang and his wife had given birth to their son before going to sea, and they hadn’t returned to the Imperial Capital to let their son partake in the Blood Pool ritual.

Shi Hao stayed in Puyang City for several days, and just when he was about to leave, he was suddenly visited one night by an unexpected guest.

Shi Hao was sleeping, but the domain he had cast out suddenly captured someone approaching.

He sat up, and at that moment, the window opened and a person shrouded in black clothes floated in.

The person in black didn’t seem surprised that Shi Hao was awake and just stood by the window, staring at him.
