Chapter 1471: Chapter 907: This Will Ultimately Be Magnificent and Brilliant

The pavilion stood serenely, shrouded in the verdant embrace of towering mountains, with the incessant melody of birdsong encircling its tranquil surroundings.

Underneath the pavilion, bursts of hearty laughter frequently rang out, resonating through the area and mingling with the rich yet mellow aroma of fine wine that neither overwhelmed nor stung. The gathering of birds, previously carefree, suddenly fled, their wings slicing through the air as they darted out from the mountains.

High above the peaks, the birds dispersed into the sky, transforming the thousand towering mountains into a canvas of fleeting black dots.

These were no ordinary birds; each was a Divine Bird. Extraordinary in every way, if placed in the Lower Realm, any of them could effortlessly annihilate a kingdom.

Today marks a rare occasion as the Three Stones reunite, laughing and conversing freely—a first in recorded history. It symbolizes not only their gathering but also the resolution of the longstanding grudges between the Two Stones.

Of course, their enmity had already been resolved long ago, but this gathering held a profound significance, signifying true reconciliation and mutual respect between them from this moment forward.

The Two Stones – despite their past opposition – share the same bloodline, having risen step by step from the barren Wilderness. Neither considered themselves inferior to the revered Heavenly Proud ones of the Great Thousand World, bearing an invincible resolve and embodying the untamed daring spirit of the Wilderness.

Undoubtedly, this is a moment worthy to be inscribed in the annals of history. Even after tens of thousands of epochs pass and the ocean of time submerges these mountains, any remnant of this tale will still captivate and inspire future generations.

For now, Jiang Hui watches from the sidelines, his face alight with intrigue and interest.

In the original narrative, Stone Toughness’s fate was exceedingly tragic. Despite his unparalleled talent, his era as a King coincided with the most tumultuous and chaotic time in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

During the Frontier Wilderness Wars, he expended his own essence to slay numerous Fallen Immortal Kings and the Dark King. Shi Hao, having ascended to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, was eventually besieged by three Emperors alongside the Destroyer Elder, leaving his Taoist form nearly shattered.

To enable Shi Hao’s rapid recovery and suppress the rampant darkness, Stone Toughness resolutely sacrificed himself.

Had he not done so, with his talent and potential, he might have achieved the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm.

In the Era of Sacred Ruins, the world was divided between Yin and Yang. To revive Stone Toughness, Shi Hao placed him into nine celestial coffins.

As for whether he succeeded in reviving him later, Jiang Hui cannot recall, having not read that far.

"Cheers!"

At the stone table, the fragrance of wine filled the air as Shi Hao raised his cup first.

"Cheers!"

Stone Toughness also lifted his glass, drinking it down in one go.

His striking features — with a slim yet robust physique clad in a white-and-red robe edged with golden trim — lent him an air of unmatched elegance. Even seated beside Shi Hao, he was no less impressive.

Meanwhile, Qin Hao bore a striking resemblance to Shi Hao, owing to their full-blooded brotherhood.

When the sweet and fragrant wine was emptied from their cups, the three rose from their seats and walked toward the edge of the village.

Leading the way were Shi Hao and Stone Toughness. As their steps landed, the dense aura of the Immortal King engulfed them unrestrainedly, bursting upward and saturating the area within ten meters around them with Immortal King’s pressure.

Qin Hao, slightly less formidable at the True Immortal Realm, carried two Supreme Bones bestowed by Shi Hao himself. His unparalleled talent allowed him to rival beings of Quasi-Immortal King status.

Their battle spirit surged.

"Stone Brother."

"Fellow Daoist..."

From the crisscrossing village paths, beyond the meandering stone pavement lined by green slabs and shimmering dew droplets, lofty figures approached. Each exuded unparalleled grace and oppressive grandeur.

Among them was Gu Chen, who had stepped into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, the Ten Crown King, the Banished Immortal gleaming with the Quasi-Immortal Emperor’s brilliance, the Immortal King-tier Tu Wa Zi, the Half-Demon, and the Broad Sword man.

Additionally, farther afield, radiant divine light surged into the skies as the village’s Spiritual Energy erupted and dazzling brilliance spread across the heavens. Countless Dao Golden Lotus blossoms unfolded in a spectacular display.

Within the luminous crowd, Shi Hao recognized familiar figures. The Butcher, the Chicken Breeder, and a peddler of counterfeit medicines—these individuals were remnants of the Burial Domain. Some had stayed loyal to Shi Hao upon witnessing his pioneering independence in the Taoist arts.

The three possessed immense power and an ancient history. Despite remaining in the Realm of the Immortal King for countless eras and failing to ascend to the Emperor Realm, their strength surpassed ordinary rulers, reflective of their eras’ apex dominators.

But this was just the beginning.

In the village’s deeper recesses.

Amidst the vast canopy of the eternal, sky-piercing World Tree, several potent entities stirred.

"Roar, roar..."

The roar of a dragon erupted, like cosmic tidal waves crashing through the Universe, a tsunami of sound shaking the heavens and earth.

Shi Hao turned instinctively toward the sound, witnessing a colossal, resplendent figure emanating golden light, alighting from a branch of the World Tree. Its piercing golden gaze radiated thundering brilliance, casting vast shadows with its colossal form—a single scale comparable to an entire small planet.

True Dragon!

The leader of the Ten Evil, also hailed as the Immortal King Tribe.

Every True Dragon, upon maturity, ascends to the rank of Immortal King, each becoming a Flawless Immortal King.

While various races can evolve toward the True Dragon, even with dozens coexisting in one era, they cannot claim the true name. Mimicry does not make one a True Dragon—only one can inherit the singular title, earning the eternal name of True Dragon.

The final True Dragon was the father of Red Dragon Ge Gu, the Clan Leader of the True Dragon Tribe. During the Ancient Immortal Era, while defending the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he fell valiantly on the battlefield and perished in the Chaotic Mosquito Lake.

As for the entity before him...

Shi Hao had encountered it before but still felt awed, perceiving the lingering ripple of its true essence.

This was the intuition of an Emperor.

Previously, when he encountered the Little True Dragon, he only marveled at the existence of this seemingly dragon-like race in Liu Village.

But upon attaining the Immortal King Level, especially nearing the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, Shi Hao’s realization dawned. This wasn’t mere approximation—this was a True Dragon!
