Jiang Hao thought to himself, "Little Shit really knows how to find places to level up."

This entire realm is covered in ice and snow; even dark gold-level monsters would be instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

This place is practically a paradise for little poop to improve its rank.

Jiang Hao still had many questions for Xiao Shi, so he used his skill on him: Soul Link!

A sharp pain shot through Jiang Hao's soul, and he collapsed to the ground once more...

Only after Jiang Hao felt slightly less uncomfortable did he stand up shakily.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with me? I felt like I was dead just now, but now I seem to be alive?"

"What is this guy? Why do I feel a mix of familiarity and fear towards him? Oh, I remember now, I suddenly fainted while I was eating. Could he be the one who did this? Or perhaps..."

With Little Shit's incessant chatter echoing in his head, Jiang Hao shook his head and said through soul communication, "Listen, you're going to be my summoned creature from now on. I've given you a name; you'll be called Little Shit from now on."

Jiang Hao conveyed the message to Xiao Shi almost like a command. He sensed that Xiao Shi was somewhat resistant, but eventually accepted it.

Jiang Hao continued, "I'm asking you, why are you here?"

"Of course I came here because I like it, old man! Oh no, I, little poop, of course I came here because I like it, right?"

Jiang Hao thought to himself, "Come here? Could it be that it wasn't originally from this realm?"

"Of course I'm not from this realm. It's just that I absorbed all the cold energy from those other realms, so I followed that guy here!"

Jiang Hao looked around warily, puzzled, and asked, "That guy? Who is that guy? Why are you following it? And where is it now?"

"Of course I'm following it to improve! As for what it is, how would I, Little Shit-Grandpa, know? I've never seen it before. I only know it's it because I'm familiar with the cold air here. It should be in the north right now, right in the center of this realm."

Jiang Hao was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't this the very center of the realm? Further north lay an impenetrable fog; wasn't that the barrier of this realm?

A thought from Little Shit echoed in my mind: "Are you going to go find it?"

Jiang Hao could sense Xiao Shi's worry; it was afraid that he would go to find that thing!

"What's wrong? Can't we go find it?"

"No, no! You're so weak, you'll freeze to death on the way. Besides, it doesn't like any living being going to it or getting close to it. I tried to approach it in other realms before, and it just disappeared. Then I traveled back and forth through hundreds of thousands of realms, searching for a very long time, before I finally found it. Since then, I've never dared to get close to it again, and I only level up outside its misty domain."

The amount of information is enormous!

Especially the hundreds of thousands of realms!

How many realms are there in the Spirit Ruins?

More than ten thousand! This has been clearly stated and confirmed long ago!

However, as the boundary black hole expands, more and more boundaries are continuously merging into it. That means that outside of the Spirit Ruins, there exists a cluster of boundaries that is more than ten times larger than the Spirit Ruins!

It also says it travels through realms; could it be that its ability to travel through realms is actually at the star level?

Moreover, the "it" that Little Shit mentioned probably also has the ability to travel between star systems!

Finally, Xiao Shi mentioned the mist he had seen north of the woods. Jiang Hao had wondered then how such dense fog could appear in this icy, windy climate, especially since even Yun Xinghe's Heavenly Eye couldn't penetrate it. Now all his doubts were resolved, but even more questions arose.

How vast is that fog? What is its strength? What abilities does it possess?

"How would I, your humble servant, know how big the fog is? I can't see it anyway. But I think it's probably half the size of this realm. As for its abilities, it can create cold. No matter what the original realm was like, it will become incredibly cold as soon as it arrives. But I, your humble servant, am not afraid. The colder the better! Its strength is definitely not as high as mine. Is there even a need to ask? I, your humble servant, am capable of anything, whether it's in the sky or on the ground. It's just a tool for me to level up..."

Jiang Hao was completely dumbfounded. The range of a single skill was actually half the size of a realm?

It seems this thing is definitely not as bad as Little Shit made it out to be. In fact, its strength might even surpass Little Shit's!

"Stop, stop, stop! Can you please stop bragging?"

"Bragging? What's 'bragging'? Why would I brag?"

Jiang Hao was too lazy to argue with it, so he asked again, "Why don't you eat the Spirit Yang Tree in the woods over there, but insist on eating the one I killed? Also, are there any legendary Spirit Yang Trees in the woods across the way?"

"Spirit Sun Tree? You mean those creatures with tentacles? I planted them! Of course, I eat the dead ones, because they're delicious, it would be a waste not to! The living ones, of course, can't be eaten; they'll taste even better when they grow bigger. There are legendary Spirit Sun Trees here, of course, but I've driven them all into the mist. The closer you get to them, the faster they grow. Once they're gone, I can have a good meal."

Jiang Hao was completely stunned by Xiao Shi's answer! This Xiao Shi is actually a farmer?

So, the Spirit Yang Tree that the entire human race painstakingly searched for and treasured was just a crop grown by a little poop? And those energy crystals that the City Lord of Jinling City valued more than his life were just... poop from a little poop?

Moreover, since Xiao Shi refers to the legendary Lingyang Tree as "them," there must be more than one!

Jiang Hao immediately became excited and asked, "How many legendary Spirit Yang Trees are there here? And why are you eating them? Is it just for the taste?"

"How many? I don't know. Probably more than those you killed. Eating them helps me grow. Eating one makes me grow an extra bone. Those you killed are no good, their quality is too low. Only the very center part is somewhat palatable; I won't eat the rest!"

Jiang Hao felt dizzy looking at the dense, fine bones all over Xiao Shi's body, as thick as a baby's lanugo.

Good heavens! How many Spirit Yang Trees did it eat to grow to this size? If you made a star-level warship from all those Spirit Yang Trees it ate, it could probably destroy the entire Spirit Ruins!

Jiang Hao really wanted to tear off every single bone from Xiao Shi's body, list all its crimes, and then permanently imprison this stinky fellow in the Heavenly Prison.

But then, remembering that it possessed hundreds of legendary Spirit Yang Trees, Jiang Hao felt he could atone for its sins. So he abandoned the idea of ​​separating it and decided that he would punish it by making it plant trees for him—legendary Spirit Yang Trees!

As for those giant spirit trees on the other side of the river, their quality was too low, and Jiang Hao didn't even want them!
