A complex and ever-changing rune appeared on its body, making its purple scales crystal clear and dazzling!

The little boy's eyes shone with a divine light, like gemstones glowing. He stared at the talisman without blinking. After a long time, one of his arms trembled slightly. A blazing light moved across his arm, rushed into his palm, and then broke free.

"Qiang!"

The light, like a treasure being unsheathed, emitted a metallic tremor. A bright and holy moon flew out and struck a hard boulder five or six meters high with a hiss. The silver moon spun in place, and with a crack, the boulder was instantly split in two.

The cross section was smooth. With a loud bang, the upper half of the stone, which weighed thousands of pounds, fell to the ground, and the earth and rocks flew everywhere, and dust and fog filled the air.

In the distance, a group of people were petrified. What kind of powerful force was this? A bright moon appeared and directly cleaved away such a huge rock that was as hard as iron. It was truly awe-inspiring!
Shi Ziling was overjoyed. Even though his son no longer had the Supreme Bone, he was still exceptionally talented and surpassed the geniuses of the Shi Kingdom!
However, thinking of this, Shi Ziling felt a little guilty. Back then, it was because of their negligence that Shi Hao had his supreme bone dug out by that witch and suffered so much.

He is not yet confident that he can avenge his son.

As for Shi Yuntao, he once again entered seclusion. Although he had undergone many years of transformation and his combat power had surpassed that of a Venerable, his own cultivation level was still only at the initial stage of cultivation, the Blood-Moving Realm.

His current strength is enough to make him fearless in the lower realm, so he is not in a hurry to break through his realm. Instead, he turns back to slowly experience the mysteries of the Blood Transformation Realm.

The Blood Removal Realm, the first realm of the Chaotic Ancient Law, involves comprehending and refining innate bone runes from ferocious beasts, condensing them with divine light from the blood to enhance one's own power. It requires mobilizing the essence and blood of the entire body, rolling like thunder, to refine the bone runes and evoke divine light within the blood, thereby tempering the creation of heaven and earth and nourishing the physical body.

The ultimate level of the Blood Transport Realm is the physical strength of 100,000 jin.

Shi Yuntao naturally possessed such power, which far exceeded 100,000 jin, and could be said to have broken through the limit and transcended it.

However, Shi Yuntao still felt it wasn't enough. He took the original true explanation from Shi Yunfeng and used the rune principles within it to comprehend, refine, and perfect his bloodline divine light.

At the same time, Shi Yuntao used the original true understanding to evolve the 129,060 Dao Fruits he comprehended in the world of the Supreme Being.

He condensed runes with Dao Fruit to form the most essential rune imprint, creating divine light that propelled his Blood Transformation Realm to its ultimate sublimation.

He sat cross-legged under the willow tree, neither avoiding the willow god nor hiding himself from the villagers, his body radiating endless light from time to time.

At such times, villagers would experience sudden enlightenment while watching Shi Yuntao's cultivation, making rapid progress in the art of bone script and rapidly improving their physical bodies.

Meanwhile, the three Azure-scaled Eagles, which had returned to their ancestral form, rested beside Shi Yuntao while learning bone script from Shi Hao.

At these times, they can feel their blood boiling and evolving.

Shi Yuntao was truly extraordinary. Although he was merely a reincarnation of Shang Yi's true spirit, his essence was in no way inferior to that of an Immortal Emperor, and he even inherited the karma of the Immortal Monk King.

Regardless of the type, they all transcend the nine heavens and ten earths, and their mere cultivation can bring endless benefits to the living beings around them.

The willow branches of the Willow God swayed in the wind, not only because she was curious about Shi Yuntao's cultivation, but also because she sensed a familiar aura on Shi Yuntao.

Therefore, He generously flicked His willow branch, and a drop of green liquid filled with mysterious energy fell into Shi Yuntao's body. It not only contained endless vitality, but also the fundamental treasure of the Willow God—the Willow God Technique.

Clearly, at this point, the Willow Goddess had already recognized Shi Yuntao as the reincarnation of the Immortal Monk King. After seeing Shi Yuntao's magic, she gave him her Willow Goddess magic.

As the sun set and the sky turned red with the sunset, a group of hunters returned. They hadn't caught much game, and some of the animals had to be carried back.

"What's wrong, what happened?"

The villagers rushed out, all very nervous.

"Don't worry, no one died, but Pi Hou's father was seriously injured. He was shot with an arrow that hit his lung."

Shi Linhu's expression was not good.

Today, Shi Ziling did not go out with the others, and unexpectedly, something happened, which made Shi Linhu feel very ashamed and resentful.

"what happened?"

Several clan elders appeared and asked him questions.

"It was done by people from Bei Village, which is dozens of miles away. We rarely see them for a year or two. Now, for some reason, they have entered our hunting area and are competing with us for prey. They even almost shot and killed Pi Hou's father."

"Father!" Pi Hou cried out, rushing from the village and lunging forward to hug Shi Shoushan's arm, tears streaming down his face. "What happened to you? Who hurt you like this?"

His mother also ran over, her eyes filled with tears, and grabbed Shi Shoushan's hand, standing by his side, weeping softly.

"Why are you crying? It's just an arrow wound. We often get torn apart by wild beasts while hunting. What's a little blood?" Shi Shoushan glared at them, not letting them cry. He was a very tough man.

His upper body was covered in blood. An iron arrow had pierced through his protective steel armor, penetrated his right lung, and emerged from his back. The 1.3-meter-long shaft of the arrow had a cold, metallic sheen and was stained with blood, a horrifying sight.

“Sister-in-law and nephew, don’t cry. Brother Shoushan is not in any danger. After a while, he will be as strong as a bull and will recover soon,” Shi Feijiao advised.

This injury was quite serious. Even though Shi Shoushan was physically strong, he couldn't be careless, otherwise he might suffer from serious health problems, such as lifelong weakness and asthma.

Thankfully, they came back alive. As long as they came back alive, there is hope for their recovery.

The group carried the wounded to Shi Yuntao's side. Upon seeing this, Shi Yuntao used the Willow Divine Technique with his right hand, gathering boundless vitality and mysteriously merging it into the wounded's body.

Immediately, under the shimmering blue light, the group began to recover gradually, and even Ishigami's severed arm grew back.

However, Shi Yuntao did not directly help the group fully recover. He only helped them heal their severe injuries and then sent them back to recuperate on their own.

This has been the rule of Shicun for many years. Although Shi Yuntao was able to help everyone recover when he was in a deep sleep, the villagers became more aggressive in hunting because they were not afraid of getting hurt, which resulted in more severe losses than before.

After Shi Yunfeng noticed this, he immediately set a rule that only very serious injuries could be healed in the courtyard, and other injuries would need to be treated on their own.

This way, the villagers can also learn to respect and be in awe.

After all, a group of weak people who are ignorant and fearless are not far from being wiped out.

Moreover, they also had to be careful not to let people from other villages know about this secret.

A large group of men, women, and children from the village came to visit, bringing various nourishing traditional medicines, dried meat, and other items. It was a lively occasion, and the villagers were very simple, honest, and warm-hearted.

"Uncle will get better soon!" The little one also offered a token of his appreciation, bringing a basket of his favorite red berries. "What exactly happened?" In the clan leader's courtyard, a group of important figures had gathered, and Shi Yunfeng asked with a frown.

"Chieftain, it was indeed the people from Bei Village who caused trouble. They crossed the border into our territory and stole a six-legged camel that the mountain guard had shot and killed. They even tried to kill it. If the mountain guard hadn't dodged in time, he would have died from a single arrow through the heart," Shi Linhu said bitterly.

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this; this was a deadly attack.

"To act so ruthlessly is truly unruly. Although the two villages are dozens of miles apart, each guarding its own territory and rarely seeing each other, they still live in the same mountain range. There should be some consideration for each other. It wasn't like this before," sighed an elder.

Shi Feijiao said, "The one who made the move was a kid, about fourteen or fifteen years old. He has a good appearance, fair and handsome. But he is really vicious. He shot an arrow at the mountain guard as if he were killing a wild beast. His eyes were completely calm and terrifyingly cold."

The group of people from Shicun were enraged and charged forward, but the other side was equally resolute, quickly gathering dozens of people who were very tough and confronted them head-on.

If it weren't for the fact that a monstrous lion went berserk deep in the mountains, roaring so loudly that the mountains trembled and rocks tumbled down, causing both sides to retreat in fear, a serious bloody conflict might have occurred.

"Why are you being so aggressive? Do you think you're so powerful that you can ignore our feelings? Otherwise, how can you bully us like this?!"

Several elders were also somewhat angry. Living in the mountains, strong, able-bodied men were extremely important to a village, and the other party had acted so recklessly, killing without hesitation.

Someone added, "That kid is no ordinary person. He gives off a bad vibe. Looking at him is like facing a fully grown Pixiu, powerful, ferocious, and ruthless."

"So, the Wolf Village has produced an extraordinary young man. It seems that this clan has become much stronger and is now at its peak. As a result, their ambitions have also grown."

The clan chief whispered, squinting as he looked toward the direction of the wolf village.

Shi Yuntao then looked in the direction of the Wolf Village and said:
"I'm afraid it's not just that. That old wolf is probably about to break through, so it desperately needs powerful blood food. In addition, it has some ideas for nurturing the geniuses emerging in the village!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yunfeng nodded and said:
"Makes sense!"

Then, he turned to Shi Linhu and the others, and said, "We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. Be careful in the future, and if they push their luck, don't hesitate to do what you need to do!"

“I know,” Shi Linhu nodded.

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The people of Bei Village often crossed the border and even dug many animal pits in this area. The people of Shi Village accidentally fell into one and were almost pierced by the sharp iron spears at the bottom of the pit.

This almost resulted in a bloody battle, but at the last moment the people of Bei Village retreated.

"Why would they hunt wild beasts so frantically? Even with a surge in population, this shouldn't be the case. Something must have happened in their village. Perhaps, as Yun Tao said, that old wolf is about to break through."

Clan chief Shi Yunfeng made a deduction.

Shi Ziling said urgently:
"Uncle Feng, let me handle this, that way..."

Shi Yunfeng waved his hand and said solemnly:
“Ziling, Lin Hu and the others also need to grow. If they continue to be protected by you, our village's hunting team will really be ruined.”

As long as they're careful, their lives won't be in danger. Letting them gain some experience is good too.

Shi Yuntao also laughed and said:

"That's right, we can easily protect them from the dangers they are facing now!"
However, as the village grows in the future, the enemies we encounter will inevitably become stronger and stronger. We can't rely on ourselves for everything.

We'll always have times when we're distracted by other things; we can't protect them forever!

Upon hearing this, Shi Ziling nodded and said:
"Uncle Feng, Uncle Tao, you're right, I was a bit too hasty!"

Shi Yuntao then looked at Shi Ziling and said:
"Ziling, Ankang can be weaned now. Let's leave him with me for a while!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ziling was delighted and said:

"Uncle Tao, you..."

Shi Yuntao chuckled and said:
"Didn't the Martial King's Mansion abandon Hao'er because Shi Yi obtained the Supreme Bone and became even stronger?"

"Then let them see that the double pupils and supreme bones they covet aren't as precious and powerful as they imagine!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ziling exclaimed in shock:
"Uncle Tao, do you mean you can make An Kang possess the Supreme Bone too!?"

Shi Yuntao smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Ziling, you still don't understand our Stone Clan well enough!"

The Supreme Bone merely possesses the potential to become a Supreme Being, but the bloodline of my Stone Clan is far more powerful.

"Bloodline!?"

Shi Ziling was puzzled upon hearing this, and Shi Yunfeng looked at Mo Xuan with the same confusion. How could he not know about the powerful bloodline of the Shi clan?
Shi Yuntao didn't say much, but instead spoke:
"Alright, these are not things you should know right now. Leave Lekang with me for a while."

His talent is extraordinary. If he awakens his bloodline, he will advance even further, becoming no weaker than Shi Yi, the one with double pupils. Even if he seizes Hao'er's Supreme Bone, it won't be enough!

Upon hearing this, Shi Ziling nodded excitedly, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Shi Yuntao smiled and said:
"I know what you're thinking. You're worried that if I give Ankang special treatment, it will affect the children's relationship!"

Then he continued:
"Don't worry, it's not just Ankang, I will naturally not favor any of the other children."

However, their talents are indeed far inferior to those of An Kang, and they cannot bear such benefits. They need to use other methods to slowly purify and develop their own bloodline power!
As for Hao'er, he underwent Nirvana after his Supreme Bone was extracted, so he didn't actually need any further methods. Forcibly helping him enhance and develop his bloodline would only put another shackle on him.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ziling seemed to understand somewhat, while Shi Yunfeng asked:
"Isn't it better to have more talent?!"

Shi Yuntao smiled and said:

"Innate talent can indeed bring rapid improvement and powerful combat strength in the early stages, but when you really reach the advanced levels, the bottlenecks you face cannot be broken through by talent alone."

A profound understanding of the Great Dao, a strong mind, unwavering will, and opportune circumstances are all indispensable. (End of Chapter)
