At the same time, the Flood Dragon Venerable also sank into the sea, creating a huge whirlpool. It then fled and hid on the seabed, watching the surface of the sea.
Because it was closer, it was also severely suppressed when the ancient cliff emitted its divine light.
"That ancient divine nest really has a problem. Even experts beyond the Spirit Transformation Realm can get in. This is really bad." Shi Hao sighed, then suddenly gave Cao Ya an apologetic smile.
Cao Ya shook his head, indicating a different opinion, and said:
"For you, this is actually a good thing. Otherwise, those experts who have surpassed the Spirit Transformation Realm are lurking outside the Ancient God Nest. Whoever comes out will be attacked. How will you fight them?"
"On the contrary, now that those experts have also infiltrated the Primordial God Nest and are under suppression, you also have the opportunity to fight against inscriptions, formations, and even Venerables."
After saying that, he smiled and looked at Shi Hao, asking:
"Do you have confidence?"
Shi Hao pondered for a few seconds, then smiled wryly and spread his hands, saying:
"I have some confidence in the inscriptions, but as for array formations... even if the cultivation of a powerhouse at that level is suppressed, their body, honed through countless trials, and the precious techniques they have studied for decades or even centuries, will definitely surpass my offensive power."
"Let's not talk about the Venerable One; he's far too inferior."
Cao Ya patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and said:
"Then let's work harder, and don't overestimate the power of inscriptions and arrays. Venerables are nothing special—well, including myself."
Seeing that Shi Hao was a little stunned and seemed unable to accept these words, after all, in the Desolate Domain, even Venerables were called the strongest, so this was nothing.
Cao Ya calmly said:
"You'll find out in the future, Venerable One, you're still quite weak."
His tone was somewhat wistful.
In those prosperous worlds like the Immortal Realm and the Otherworld, let alone Venerables, even those above the Venerable Realm such as the Divine Fire Realm, True God Realm, and Heavenly God Realm are quite ordinary.
Even if immortals have disappeared, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, where supreme beings reign, are nothing compared to those below the Void Dao and Heavenly Gods.
In this vast world, where the strongest beings have reached the seven-star multiverse, a mere two-star peak Venerable Realm cultivator is truly quite ordinary.
Shi Hao was slightly taken aback, very curious about Cao Ya's past experiences. Judging from what he said, it seemed that the hermit knew the truth of this world and knew many great secrets.
Besides Liu Shen, he now has another object of curiosity.
"Let's steer the ship forward." Cao Ya casually sat cross-legged on the deck of the ghost ship.
"Hmm." Shi Hao nodded, tapped the broken sword, and steered the ghost ship toward the ancient god's nest.
Ghost ships are terrifying in themselves, causing many creatures to fear them. What's more, there is now a Venerable One on that ghost ship who is capable of sweeping across the Forbidden Sea. People are too busy hiding to dare to go forward and stop them.
This place is teeming with powerful beings. There are definitely more than just three or five creatures like Cao Ya, the Great Wilderness Hermit, the Jiao Venerable, and the Devouring Sky Sparrow. The number of Venerables who secretly infiltrated this place for the Kunpeng Treasure Technique is definitely more than two hands' worth!
They risked their lives to fight!
After all, Kunpeng's reputation was too great. As one of the Ten Fiends of Antiquity, its fame spread for many eras and left a glorious chapter in many ancient histories.
In short, chaos is brewing in the desolate region, and a major event is about to occur. These Venerable Ones are all searching for the Kunpeng Treasure Technique to strengthen themselves.
The sea calmed down again, the water turned red, corpses littered the area, and creatures of various races surged in once more, while some extremely powerful figures remained hidden, never showing themselves.
Cao Ya had a vague understanding.
A moment later, the sea surged again, and many creatures rushed forward, but they could not get close to the ancient sacred cliff. It was so close, yet so far away.
The Kunpeng Divine Nest looks very close, but we can never get close to it; it's always just a short distance away, like a mirage.
The ghost ship was also moving forward. Cao Ya cautiously sensed the sea while guiding Shi Hao.
Shi Hao had just broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he was still confused about many things.
The Butian Pavilion is gone, and no one is there to explain it to him anymore.
In Stone Village, Shi Hao is currently the one with the highest cultivation level.
Willow Goddess can indeed guide Shi Hao, but as a sacrificial spirit, Willow Goddess resides in Stone Village and will not go to the outside world.
Shi Hao is too young and needs experience, so it's impossible for him to stay in Shi Village for long.
That was where he found solace; once he returned to Stone Village, he was carefree.
Therefore, Shi Hao cherished this opportunity to meet Cao Ya and asked him for advice along the way, especially on the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Realm and the practice of the Thunder Spirit Treasure Technique.
Cao Ya didn't hold back at all. In other worlds, he even became a Dao Ancestor-like figure, spreading martial arts far and wide. It's nothing that he only taught so many humans, and they were concentrated in the Great Wilderness.
"As I said before, you've only just broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, yet you're already obsessed with obtaining the Kunpeng Treasure Technique. Your obsession is too deep, and you're becoming somewhat impetuous. Your most urgent task is to calmly comprehend the mysteries of the Spirit Transformation Realm."
Cao Ya analyzed Shi Hao's mindset:
“Even if I travel with you, once those venerable ones appear, I won’t have the extra strength to take care of you. At that time, you will have to rely on yourself.”
"Although you have advanced from the Tenth Heaven, which is unprecedented, there are still some other geniuses like you in this world. They have been cultivating for longer than you and have had far more resources since childhood. Without hard work, it is difficult to achieve a shortcut to success."
He gave earnest advice and didn't speak carelessly, which is indeed a shortcoming of Shi Hao now.
My mindset has become restless.
"Yes." Shi Hao nodded emphatically. He knew that Cao Ya was pointing him in the right direction, and he listened attentively to her guidance.
He was also keenly aware of these things.
The descendants and offspring of those ancient great sects, ancient sacred mountains, great sea clans, and powerful deep-sea clans are all exceptionally talented. From childhood to adulthood, they have had access to all kinds of resources and have been carefully taught and guided step by step by extremely powerful figures. How could such geniuses be anything but outstanding?
He is enough to rival him, who has broken through to the Tenth Heaven Cave!
If he didn't have an unwavering mindset, Shi Hao felt he might have been in trouble.
He was grateful to have met Cao Ya, who provided him with tremendous help.
Just like when I was a child.
Furthermore, with the opening of the Kunpeng Nest, in addition to the aforementioned young prodigies, there is also no shortage of older generation kings and nobles, and experts and powerful figures are everywhere. If any one of them were to jump out in the outside world, it would cause the world to lose its color, making them very difficult to deal with.
Shi Hao believed that the Kunpeng Nest seemed close but was actually far away, and it would definitely take much longer to truly reach the divine nest.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he earnestly sought guidance from Cao Ya to consolidate his cultivation at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Instead of being anxious and constantly thinking about the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, it would be better to calm down and improve one's combat strength. This is a practical and highly effective action, since Shi Hao never felt confident that he could obtain the Kunpeng Treasure Technique.
It was just an experiment.
After being reminded by Cao Ya, Shi Hao examined himself and felt somewhat ashamed.
He took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself, regaining the clarity of mind he had lost.
Cao Ya immediately glanced at him sideways.
