Chapter 794: Chapter 794 Descendant of Sinful Blood

Sin State, extending two billion and thirty million miles from east to west, and eighty million miles from north to south.

This size is neither large nor too small, considered a middle to lower grade region in the higher realms.

After several days, Shi Hao, through several supersized transport formations and multiple transfers, crossed hundreds of states and finally arrived in the land of Sin State.

Shi Hao, along with a group of long-distance travelers, walked out from the altar. The portal of void behind them closed, and he surveyed the nearby scenery, trying to gauge a piece of land from one of its cities.

Sang City, with sparse Spiritual Energy, the entire city is built in a grayish-brown tone using giant stones, appearing very primitive.

Thud!

The ground shook, a few elephant-headed beings walked by, their enormous bodies causing the street to tremble slightly. Their bodies were blue with spots of blood, and their hands and feet were shackled.

These were slaves, just bought and being escorted away.

“Whoosh…”

In the air, a strong wind blew, with dozens of Demon Bats flying across like a flock of winged dragons, carrying a murderous aura, they served as mounts, carrying people on long journeys.

This was just a casual glimpse of the scenery that Shi Hao saw after stepping out of the altar.

Sang City carries a primitive aura and is relatively backward compared to the giant cities in other large states.

“Severely lacking in Spiritual Energy, this place isn’t really suitable for long-term inhabitation,” someone said with a frown.

Crossing states to travel, a super large transport formation would at least need to send thousands of people each time to be cost-effective. A large group of people who came out were very disappointed with this giant city.

“Don’t hold out any hope, after all, this is Sin State, once a land of Curse. Were you still expecting to see vast spiritual mountains and beautiful waters? Just be grateful,” someone remarked.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao frowned. The living conditions in this region truly weren’t very good.

“Why did it become a land of Curse?” Shi Hao wondered how it had formed, as it gathered descendants of beings from the Lower Realm.

“A long time ago, some powerful prisoners, including fierce descendants from the Lower Realm prisons, were exiled here. Their bodies flowed with Sinful Blood, causing the entire state to be cursed,” an elder explained.

Shi Hao clenched his fists and then released them, asking some more questions without raising suspicion. Because the higher realms were so vast, it was normal for many people to be unfamiliar with regions beyond their own states.

“A curse, it must have been cast by someone extremely powerful, right?” others also showed interest.

“Hmm, let’s better not touch upon this topic too much. It’s said to be a curse from the heavens,” the elder commented.

“Hiss!” Many people couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, feeling apprehensive and unwilling to inquire further.

However, some young people grew more curious, asking those around them why it was so and also not quite believing in this vague idea of the heavens.

“What heavens, it’s all actions of beings, just a terrible gimmick,” someone muttered, not quite believing in the legends.

“That’s right, there are some rumors. It’s said to be related to some ancient schools that have disappeared or hidden from the world, back then some taboo figures from these doctrines joined hands to cast the curse.”

“That’s all hearsay!”

Some people argued and debated over this.

“I say folks, now that we’re on this land, it’s best to avoid discussing such taboo pasts, or most likely misfortunes will occur, stirring up great disasters,” a calm middle-aged man advised.

Sang City is enormous, built with giant stones, and the ground itself is stony, giving it a rustic and wild aura.

After exiting the transport formation, everyone entered the city, and most of them dispersed, not sticking together.

Shi Hao already knew, among them, many were here in Sin State to participate in the Three Thousand States Talent Competition, hoping to achieve a good ranking on this backward and primitive land.

Because the slots to enter “Immortal Ancient” were limited, cultivators from various schools had exhausted methods to participate in the “entry battles” in some relatively weaker states to earn their final qualifications.

Sin State was the target of many Venerable Ones, with a large influx of people coming.

Sang City was just a microcosm, other cities on this land had long been filled with outsiders, causing the state to no longer be tranquil, stirring up unrest.

“With so many people participating in the competition, does it make sense?” Shi Hao asked a person next to him.

Since participants from various states were as numerous as hairs on a cow, willing to travel across states just for a final spot, but there was only one “Champion of the World” after all.

With such a mass assembly, Shi Hao felt it was not worth it.

“The initial phase isn’t dangerous, and cultivators from various schools have self-awareness, accurately positioning themselves, not competing with monsters or Primordials. If unavoidable encounters occur, they will submit immediately. People go in just for other fortunes in Immortal Ancient, as there are too many Sacred Entities, coveting every teaching.”

Clearly, the contestants had different objectives; a few hoped to clinch the first place, while a vast number of Venerable Ones were there just to gather herbs, gain inheritances, etc.

Among them, not only were there bone texts and treasures left by some talented individuals of past generations, but also naturally formed Immortal Texts, and even Saint’s Wood, Immortal Seeds, enough to drive Sect Hierarchs mad.

“Some have dug up Immortal Treasures, others have obtained the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, and some have consumed the Celestial God Fruit there and instantly become a Celestial God,” one individual sighed.

Another nodded, saying, “Even, some have found the True Dragon Egg, Immortal Phoenix Nest, etc., things that defy the heavens far beyond your expectation. There’s nothing that isn’t there, only what you can’t imagine.”

To say Shi Hao wasn’t shocked would be impossible; there were indeed so many things that defied the heavens there?

“Could this have been miscommunicated?”

“No, at the very least I know that a freak from an ancient school, after becoming number one in the world, chose to hide and participated in the grand competition four or five times over the long years, not only for the greatest fortune but also because he discovered a sealed Dragon Cave, erupting with primal chaos mist, containing a True Dragon Egg!”

“You know about such things?” Shi Hao was skeptical.

“There are no walls without cracks in this world, and he is not the only one who discovered it. Now some schools are aware of it, and even a Sect Hierarch has personally discussed it.”

Hearing these words, Shi Hao was astounded and speechless, realizing he would have to fight with all his might in Immortal Ancient.

“That’s not all, someone even spotted the Phoenix Blood Pool. A True Phoenix’s entire divine blood is contained within an Immortal Pond; just by jumping in… the achievements in one’s lifetime can be unimaginable!”

Because just a drip of Phoenix True Blood can allow one to undergo nirvana and rebirth, while that ancient Immortal Pond holds all of its precious blood.

Even an Ancient Monk like this cultivator would be moved by earthly desires, not to mention Shi Hao.

He parted with those people in a daze; being a food lover himself, the ‘Immortal Ancient’ had so much to offer, and he was itching to delve deeper right that moment.

“With such vast opportunities, as the Stone of Destiny, once I enter, I’m destined to rise and shine through the ages.” Divine Striking Stone, nestled in Shi Hao’s hair, salivated.

Sang City, immensely grand.

Shi Hao discovered that all the inns were crowded with people, mostly cultivators from other States, seemingly competing for this State’s slots.

Soon, his expression turned unpleasant.

Because the Venerable Ones from other states looked disdainfully upon Sin State, seeing it as a land cursed – the descendants of all vicious criminals.

Many regarded it with contempt, looking down upon this State.

“Descendants of Sinful Blood, exiled here, even the entire vast State is cursed, which shows the tremendous sins these people committed!”

“Back then, such people should have been directly exterminated, why keep them around?”

These radical statements made Shi Hao’s face sour; after all, many here were descendants of people from the Lower Realm, yet they were treated this way.

No wonder this State is named ‘Sin’, causing him extreme discomfort.

“Over these years, this State hasn’t produced any monsters, and it is estimated that most of the slots will be taken away by outsiders this time.”

“Being a cursed land, with the Spiritual Energy depleted, especially after the ancient wars that frightened them to their core, what strong beings could emerge? Powerhouses from various States are all elites, naturally taking the slots from the failed Sinful Blood bearers, survival of the fittest, it ought to be so!”

Shi Hao’s complexion grew even darker, flames of anger dancing within him.

In the Lower Realm, he had heard of the term ‘descendant of great evil’, and coming to the higher realms, to find such a State, an exile place, cursed.

This State, with people from the Lower Realm and ancient criminal descendants from the Upper Realm.

He found it hard to accept that so many generations have passed; even if ancestors had truly committed some wrongdoing, it isn’t fair to punish their descendants!

Shi Hao felt, the situation should be thoroughly understood.

Before long, he learned that the Fire Nation was a considerable force in this State, one among the ancient countries, not to be underestimated.

However, another piece of news shook him deeply.

“There was once a Stone Country… that got annihilated in ancient times?!”

Shi Hao turned pale; this was terrible news. If he wasn’t mistaken, it might be the ancient country established by the ancestors of the Shi Clan.

“Why?” he inquired further.

“Sinful Blood manifested, alarming various lands, cursed by the heavens, causing this ancient country to vanish into smoke,” someone answered.

“How is that possible?!” Shi Hao refused to believe this explanation.

“Hush, keep it down. Back in ancient times, the Shi Clan grew increasingly prosper, giving rise to some incredible characters, quite stunning. Someone saw a giant hand descending from the sky, flattening this ancient country, burying that clan!” a person whispered mysteriously.

Shi Hao left the place, these messages were unsettling, pushing him near the edge of rage!

After some investigation, he successfully reached the ruins of the Shi Clan.

A desolate stretch, not a blade of grass, everywhere lay rubble, remains of broken walls – a vast ruin, once a grand capital of a country.

Wandering around here for two days, Shi Hao felt rage in his heart, an ancient country having been mercilessly erased, obliterated here, too cruel and ruthless.

Finally, by the edge of these ancient remnants, he encountered a dilapidated village, and upon careful observation, he unexpectedly learned that these were the descendants of Stone Country.

“To have fallen to this state…” he observed the elderly, the weak, and ordinary youths, who were already ordinary people, ignorant of cultivation.

“Originally, they could have lived on properly, just like other clans, only because the ancestors of the Shi Clan had uncovered some truths, had they brought upon themselves this great misfortune…”

When again he found a run-down Stone Village, Shi Hao unexpectedly learned some shocking news from an elderly man with clouded eyes! (To be continued.
