"Ouch! That hurts!"
Cao Ya felt the pain originating from the depths of her soul.
Waves of extreme agony surged forth, crashing against the dam of his consciousness, while endless, illusory divine fire burned in every part of his heart, will, and soul.
His consciousness blurred for a moment, but soon, with the shared memories of other worlds, Cao Ya awoke again, enduring the excruciating pain, and activated other powers.
Buzz!!
Immediately, a special sound arose, and various forces acted upon him, tempering his flesh and forging his divine body. At the same time, his mind and will gradually broke free from the scorching flames, as if they had been purified.
This process, however, lasted for several months.
When Cao Ya's consciousness appeared in the system space, it was burning with flames. Any other Cao Ya who touched it felt excruciating pain.
"You really have a heart of stone!" Cao Ya's expression changed. [Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty]
Cao Ya smiled weakly in "Perfect World".
Because this is an active choice in the evolution of life, the system space did not interfere.
"What a bold move!" Cao Ya of [Nine Cauldrons Chronicle] exclaimed in admiration.
Cao Ya's eyes flickered, and he suddenly hardened his heart, realizing that if he wanted to break through to the Dharma Body Realm and become a Human Immortal, he probably wouldn't be able to do it as he was now.
Having received the memories and power shared by all the Cao Ya, the Cao Ya in [Perfect World] has increased its ability to withstand attacks.
After returning to the Perfect World universe, Cao Ya remained seated under the willow tree, burning the divine fire.
The illusory, colorful divine fire swirled around his body, growing ever more intense, seemingly never to be extinguished. Cao Ya also felt the difficulty; if things went wrong, he would be annihilated on the spot!
After several months of enlightenment, Cao Ya has come incredibly close to the Divine Fire Realm.
"The wandering cultivator hasn't succeeded yet..." Shi Hao has made progress in comprehending the Kunpeng Treasure Technique. Now, with Liu Shen's reminder, his grandfather has appeared in the capital of the Stone Kingdom and is causing a great disturbance. This fills Shi Hao with mixed feelings of joy and surprise, and he decides to leave Stone Village once again to go to the capital to find his grandfather.
Before leaving, he came to bid farewell to the Willow God and also to see Cao Ya during his process of becoming a god.
Buzz~~
The Willow God constructed a spatial passage, traversing thousands of miles to reach the heart of the Stone Kingdom.
Shi Hao waved goodbye to the people, and with mixed feelings of excitement, joy, and worry, he stepped onto the passage and headed away to the Kingdom of Shi.
Upon his departure, "Marquis Huangtian" was born, and the Martial King's Mansion and the Rain King's Mansion in the Stone Kingdom were not at peace. There was also turmoil in the Stone Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom.
Later, Shi Hao challenged Shi Yi to a duel, but was defeated and finally retaliated against the hatred caused by having his supreme bone removed when he was a child.
The double pupils are already very strong, yet they still covet the supreme bone of others. What's the point?
Shi Hao defeated Shi Yi with double pupils, showing unparalleled strength and prowess. Among the younger generation, he is truly invincible!
Moreover, everyone knows that behind Shi Hao stands Cao Ya, the "Great Wilderness God," the strongest being in the lower realm, who is far more feared than the royal family of the Shi Kingdom.
The Stone Clan could not possibly commit the astonishing feat of killing over a hundred Venerables.
Of course, this also led many forces that killed the Venerable One under Cao Ya to become hostile to Shi Hao and target him more.
but--
Shi Hao quelled all the underhanded tactics of these forces, and the name "Marquis of Desolate Heaven" spread throughout the world.
The Stone Emperor also valued and nurtured Shi Hao, making his reputation even more prestigious, while the responsibilities on his shoulders continued to accumulate.
For several years, Cao Ya remained seated under the willow tree in Stone Village, his illusory divine fire never extinguished, which helped him improve his cultivation level. After several years, Cao Ya still couldn't figure out what his actual situation was.
Divine Fire Realm? True One Realm? Or... Holy Sacrifice Realm?
Not to mention Cao Ya, even Liu Shen, who had been watching from the sidelines, was confused.
Cao Ya seems to have crossed the Divine Fire Realm and made great strides in the True One Realm, but why... has Cao Ya not yet successfully broken through? Is he still in the process of advancement?
Shi Hao returned several times during this period, bringing many good things to the villagers, which made the villagers complain. They didn't complain that Shi Hao brought fewer good things, but rather that he brought back good things in the first place.
The villagers believed that Shi Hao was out there experiencing hardships, and they couldn't help him, so how could they shamelessly take things from such a small child?
They all said that Shi Hao himself used the good stuff to improve his cultivation, but he must be careful. If things really get bad, he should come back to Stone Village. They would risk their lives to help Little Dot.
Shi Hao completely relaxed and smiled happily.
Only when he returns to Shicun can he feel truly relaxed.
Shi Hao agreed to all the villagers' requests, but the next time he returned, he still brought many of his "good brothers," leaving everyone speechless.
Shi Hao was talking to Liu Shen when he saw Cao Ya, who was still engulfed in divine fire, and was very surprised.
"The wandering cultivator... he... he hasn't succeeded yet?" Shi Hao was surprised. You must know that he had already broken through the Spirit Transformation Realm, reached the Inscription Realm, and later even reached the Array Formation Realm. He was only one step away from the Venerable Realm.
Upon sensing it, Shi Hao's expression changed.
The power of a wandering cultivator is incredibly strong, definitely not just at the Venerable Realm, and may not even be at the Divine Fire Realm.
"True One? Or Holy Sacrifice?" Xiaota was also surprised, pulling away from Shi Hao's hair and staring at Cao Ya under the willow tree.
There was also a sense of bewilderment in Liu Shenhua's voice:
"Perhaps it's a sacred ritual? Or maybe it's the True One Realm? Cao Ya's cultivation level is unfathomable. If he really succeeds, he might skip several realms at once."
Shi Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He sighed quickly. The desolate region was in chaos, and the eight lower realms were in turmoil. He had no time to emulate Cao Ya's cultivation.
Shi Hao left after a short while.
Within the country, a multitude of matters await his attention.

[The Supreme Being] Universe.
Within the real world.
In a desolate, uninhabited place in the Central Plains.
Buzz buzz buzz~~~
The radiant light of the crystal Buddha illuminates heaven and earth, its boundless brilliance shining forth with infinite golden light, carrying an aura of immortality.
Then a golden Dharma body appeared, and the Bright King, though angry, performed acts of compassion.
Finally, all the strange phenomena subsided, leaving only a middle-aged monk sitting cross-legged in the same spot, who was none other than Cao Ya.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips, and whispered:
"I have finally achieved the realm of human immortals and attained the 'Immovable King Dharma Body'. In the world today, there is no one who can surpass me."
Cao Ya wasn't boasting. If we only consider the power of the "Peerless One" martial arts system, after attaining the Dharma Body, he can roam freely in this era, but he can hardly be called invincible. Master Lu of Huamei Manor, the Demon Master Han Guang, the Mad King Gao Lan, and others are all superior to him, not to mention the Great Khan Gulduo of the grasslands who wields the Heavenly Punishment Axe, the divine weapon of the other shore.
But what about the strength of so many Cao Yas?
Among the three-star level characters alone, there is himself, as well as Cao Ya of [Immortal Gourd], Cao Ya of [Primordial Era], and Cao Ya of [Perfect World].
Yes, Cao Ya in [Perfect World] is still in the process of becoming a god, but he already has the strength of a three-star level, and he is even superior to the other two three-star Cao Yas.
The others roughly guessed that Cao Ya's breakthrough journey in [Perfect World] probably skipped the Divine Fire Realm. As for whether he achieved the True One Realm or the Holy Sacrifice Realm, it was hard to say, because Cao Ya's breakthrough in [Perfect World] was not over yet.
"I heard that the general outline of the Tathagata Palm has been published in the land of the vast sea... That fake abbot of Shaolin Temple will definitely be mobilized... Firstly, to avoid revealing his identity, and secondly, probably that 'demon master' Han Guang will also take this opportunity to plot something."
Suddenly, Cao Ya looked up at the northwest, his gaze deep and unsettling.
