Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Searching for Father

Shi Hao had not given up on researching the Infinite Seed Technique for many days.

It was so useful!

Therefore, although Shi Hao was far from reaching the full potential of the technique, the maximum degree of reduction he could achieve was still the size of a fist.

This could reduce his target size by countless times.

Additionally, with his domain, as long as he did not encounter someone else with a domain, he could completely move sideways here.

Shi Hao immediately started running, as the Cloud Piercing Step was not affected by body size, and his speed was astonishingly fast.

Layer by layer, Shi Hao also evaded one patrol after another.

In fact, the defense of this prison was tight on the outside but lenient on the inside; the patrols inside were only Martial Artists in the Soul Nurturing and Other Shore Realms.

Why was this?

Firstly, the external defensive force was too strong, and secondly, every cell here had restrictions, and the prisoners wore special shackles that locked their cultivation.

It was impossible for chaos to erupt inside, so as long as they prevented anyone from breaking in to conduct a prison breakout, it was natural to stack the defensive powers on the outside.

Shi Hao discovered that the deeper he went, the stronger the people who were imprisoned, and at a certain level, patrols vanished, the corridor turned pitch-black, and only a dark window remained on each cell door.

"Eh, little guy, you can actually sneak in here?" A voice suddenly came from one of the cells.

"Hmm?"

"Ya?"

Sounds from the other cells also began to emerge one after another, all expressing great surprise, obviously noticing Shi Hao.

—Domain!

Shi Hao simply resumed his original appearance and started checking each cell.

"Kid, if you help me get out, I can teach you peerless divine techniques!"

"Help His Excellency escape, and His Excellency can help you kill people."

"His Excellency can grant you supreme Secret Treasures!"

The people in the cells all said so, each trying to tempt Shi Hao to help them escape.

"Noise!" Shi Hao yelled; they just kept chattering, did they want to draw the guard down here?

This made the people in the cells feel refreshed. Given their identities and strengths, it turned out that a little Self-Observation could scold them.

They didn’t care and started shouting again.

There was no guard here, but that didn’t mean that a ruckus wouldn’t bring someone.

Soon a guard appeared, but after scanning around, he retreated to the previous level.

—This place held entities from the Great Sacrificial Heaven, or even stronger beings. Although their cultivation was restrained, the spiritual pressure was still terrifying; no guard wanted to stay here longer than necessary.

So, since there was nothing wrong, naturally they left.

After the guard left, Shi Hao came out from the Immortal Abode.

This shocked the people in the cells because, with their Divine Sense, none had noticed how Shi Hao had disappeared and reappeared.

Little Self-Observation, huh.

Now, their confidence in Shi Hao suddenly surged.

Escape was hopeful.

These individuals all started making promises, no matter how exaggerated; as long as Shi Hao was moved, that was all that mattered. Whether they could fulfill them... heh, once they escaped, how could Shi Hao possibly restrain them?

Shi Hao was completely unaffected, just continuing to check each cell.

It was simple; he just needed to find someone who looked a bit like him.

But this was also difficult, as many prisoners were disheveled and it was impossible to clearly see their faces, and since everyone had a domain, Shi Hao also couldn’t use his domain to clearly see the people.

With no other choice, Shi Hao had to speak up, saying, "My name is Shi Hao, from an island of the Eastern Fire Continent. About twenty years ago, someone abandoned me there."

"The surname Shi?"

"Is this guy from the Stone Clan?"

"Damn, thought we could escape, but he’s actually the enemy!"

Many people started cursing, realizing that being from the Stone Clan meant he definitely wouldn’t help them escape.

"Everyone shut up!" At that moment, a voice suddenly erupted, drowning out all others.

"Shi Feng, what are you getting angry about?"

"Right, you think you’re still the genius who once dominated the scene?"

"The Stone Clan has already abandoned you!"

The prisoners paused, then began to contradict each other loudly.

Let alone the fact that their strength was not weaker, even if it were, everyone was locked up, so who needed to be afraid of whom?

Shi Hao strode forward, arriving in front of a prison cell.

Inside was a disheveled man, his face unclear, but his eyes were unmistakably filled with immense excitement.

"I am Shi Feng!" the man declared.

Shi Hao nodded, then suddenly leapt towards the cell’s only small window.

"Impossible!" Shi Feng hastily cried out. The entire cell was under restrictions, and triggering them would alert the whole Abyssal Cave.

Shi Hao, just a Self-Observation, was certain to face a calamity.

However, he was amazed to find that Shi Hao suddenly vanished, then just as suddenly reappeared inside the cell.

Like a ghostly apparition! Absolutely astonishing!

Shi Hao immediately took off his shoes and showed the other man the sole of his left foot.

"My son!" Shi Feng was already very emotional, but now he seemed almost ready to explode as tears immediately started flowing.

It had been over twenty years, and he had thought he would never see his son again, yet here they were, reunited in such a place.

Shi Hao didn’t rashly acknowledge their relationship, but instead took out a Bloodline Talisman, "Lend me a drop of blood."

Father and son meeting should have been a moment of great excitement and joy, but Shi Feng couldn’t help but laugh and cry at his son’s approach.

This son was truly cautious.

—Of course, how could a father acknowledge someone carelessly?

Shi Feng bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the talisman.

Boom, the Bloodline Talisman instantly ignited.

Indeed, his real father.

"Father!" Shi Hao knelt down, kowtowing to Shi Feng.

Shi Feng, entirely constrained by chains with very limited room to move, couldn’t help Shi Hao rise, saying instead, "Good child, get up. It is I who owe you apologies for not fulfilling my duties as a father!"

Shi Hao kowtowed nine times before standing up again.

"Child, how have you made it through these years?" Shi Feng now turned his attention to such trivial matters.

Thud, thud, thud, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

Apparently, the other prisoners’ loud yelling had called the guard over, but the guard only glanced at the empty corridor and left.

Wasn’t that normal? Could anyone actually breach the prison cell?

Shi Hao and Shi Feng stopped talking until the guard walked away, then they resumed their conversation.

First, Shi Feng asked, getting to know almost everything about Shi Hao’s growth story, and after understanding the trajectory of Shi Hao’s life, Shi Feng felt very emotional yet filled with relief.

Without him by his side, Shi Hao had done well, and was now Self-Observation, and although his progress was much slower than his own had been, even in the South Wood Continent he could be considered remarkable.

"Father, who was it that killed mother in the end?" After Shi Feng’s inquiries, it naturally shifted to Shi Hao’s questions.
