"Truly terrifying, even more unfathomable than the kings of those ancient clans!"
Moreover, that child was no ordinary person. I felt that if I didn't intervene, the people from Zhulu Academy would definitely snatch him back, and if that happened, Butian Pavilion would regret it.

The woman in white said that their search for the Five-Colored Divine Egg, an ancient remnant species, was merely a side trip and not their ultimate goal.

As for Shi Yuntao being a Venerable One, they dared not even entertain such a guess. What powerful force would allow a Venerable One to protect a child?

"Is that kid very strong?" someone asked from the side.

"His potential is astonishing; his forearm alone possesses at least tens of thousands of pounds of divine strength." Xia Youyu's charming smile faded, and she said solemnly.

"So young, yet possessing such divine power in her physical body alone?" The onlookers couldn't believe it, but at the same time, they suddenly realized why the woman in white had been pulled and almost fell over.

"Well, I've estimated that if this seemingly simple-minded little fellow isn't holding back, with a swing of his arms, he could probably muster at least 80,000 to 90,000 jin of divine strength, pure physical strength!" the old woman added seriously.

"What?!" the group exclaimed in surprise.

"This can't be right! Eighty or ninety thousand jin of strength in a single swing of the arms... that's almost at the extreme level that ancient ferocious beasts used to test their cubs!"

"This is absolutely a phenomenal talent, worthy of being snatched up and nurtured!"

The claim that a single arm swing could generate 40,000 to 50,000 jin of strength, and a swing of both arms could generate 80,000 to 90,000 jin of divine power, was merely their guess; they didn't truly understand the little one's capabilities. Even so, they were quite shocked, leaving the group in awe and admiration.

“Hmm…” The old woman frowned, feeling as if she had overlooked something. Silver runes flickered in her eyes, like a galaxy in disarray.

Suddenly, she raised her head, her eyes shooting out two astonishing beams of light, and said, "We were mistaken!"

"How could you have misjudged it?" a young man next to him asked.

The old woman took out a piece of eggshell from her bosom. It was as delicate as jade, crystal clear and lustrous, with five-colored patterns and shimmering light. It was a piece of eggshell that had broken off from the ancient relic.

“I was careless just now, and I only realized it now. There is a familiar aura about that child and the little mountain beast on his shoulder. At first, I thought they were covered in a lot of beast blood, the smell of ferocious birds and beasts. But now, after thinking about it and sensing it carefully, I think it should be the aura of the egg laid by the descendant of the ancient divine bird.”

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

"No way, that child ate the egg of the descendant of the ancient god-king? That's incredible!" A young man's mouth was wide open, big enough to swallow half a fist.

"How could such a harmless little creature be so audacious as to steal eggs from the nest of an ancient remnant species?"

A group of people could hardly believe it, and were all astonished upon learning the result.

If this were to be told, few would believe that a mere child would dare to venture deep into the nest of an ancient species and accomplish such an astonishing feat.

While they were shocked, they also felt a pang of regret, feeling incredibly sorry for the egg that was the offspring of a divine bird. If it had been hatched and raised, it would have been able to glimpse some of the secrets of the ancient divine king's treasure techniques.

Such a precious egg was eaten by that child and the mountain beast!
That's incredibly wasteful. What kind of family would produce a child who would do something like that?
"That's not right. That little mountain beast also ate the five-colored bird eggs. Could it be that it's also extraordinary?" asked the middle-aged man in the group.

The others were stunned upon hearing this. How could an ordinary small mountain beast withstand the essence and spirit of an ancient remnant? It would surely be crushed to death.

“A small beast the size of a fist… I vaguely saw that the soles of its feet were red,” another person said.

The old woman was moved, as if she had remembered something, and said, "Could it be the legendary Zhu Yan?"

Legend has it that the appearance of this ferocious beast will inevitably bring great chaos, with war and conflict sweeping the land, a very ominous sign.

Everyone was stunned; they had encountered such a strange little fellow, and the group had all misjudged him.

The woman in white at the head chuckled, her long, black hair fluttering in the wind, her fair skin shimmering with a captivating glow, her eyes sparkling, and she said:
"This child is extraordinary; let's consider this a good deed."

"Yes, he has such an unfathomable elder behind him. I hope he can enter the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and not be snatched away by others!"

In the distant mountains, the little one galloped wildly on horseback. The unicorn transformed into a streak of silver light, traversing mountains and valleys at its maximum speed. The forests on both sides rushed past, and soon they were hundreds of miles away.

At this time, he was unaware that Shi Yuntao was secretly following him and protecting him.

Although Shi Hao is unlikely to encounter any accidents given his future achievements, Shi Yuntao still came, not only to prevent anyone from bullying the weak, but also to relive Shi Hao's experiences and enhance his own understanding.

The fist-sized furball came to life completely. Its grayish-white fur shimmered, turning golden again, and its once dull and lifeless eyes instantly lit up. Lively and mischievous, it jumped and hopped on Xiao Shihao's shoulder.

The little one grabbed its tail, lifted it up, and said, "You're not allowed to run around anymore, and you're not allowed to cause any more trouble. You're only allowed to stay by my side!"

Twenty-one days have passed since we left Shicun. We've covered more than half of the long journey and are now less than 100,000 li away from the second ancestral home of the Shi clan. We'll arrive in a few more days.

Over the next few days, Little Dot braved thorns and brambles, venturing into the wilderness, encountering wave after wave of powerful beasts, and after dozens or even hundreds of bloody battles, finally approaching the border of the Stone Kingdom.

A child traversing endless mountain ranges in a month, battling numerous ferocious birds and beasts, covering 300,000 miles—this is an absolutely astonishing feat. If word were to spread, it would surely cause a huge uproar, shocking even the most powerful and ancient families.

Even the most powerful ancient ferocious beasts like Bi'an and Pixiu couldn't train their cubs in anything more than this. Such a dangerous test sounds easy, but if you actually put it into practice, it's absolutely a matter of life and death.

Ordinary children, let alone traveling 300,000 miles alone, might encounter danger and be eaten by wild beasts even if they travel only 300 or 3,000 miles.

There are too many wild beasts in the western Xinjiang region. There are dense old forests everywhere, with no human habitation. Ferocious beasts and birds of prey are everywhere. It is a most terrifying primitive land.

Let alone children, even a group of adult strongmen traveling together would find it difficult to cross the gap, as they could be devoured by ancient remnants that suddenly rush out, leaving not even bones behind.

The little one has a keen sense of perception and avoided many terrifying crises along the way. He also encountered many life-or-death tests and suffered heavy injuries along the way, but he finally made it through.

He was only seven years old when he accomplished such a feat!
If this were to become known, it would undoubtedly be explosive news, causing a sensation far and wide. And if a powerful force like the Zhulu Academy were to find out, they would certainly dispatch experts immediately to search for him and make him a member of the academy.

Finally, they saw a village. The little boy rode his unicorn and galloped out of the wilderness. He asked people for directions and was stunned. The general direction was correct, but he was more than 20,000 miles off course.

"Hmm, I clearly followed the path given by the Willow God, but there was still a deviation. I probably went astray after falling into that black river." The little one scratched his head, and then continued on his way.

Having escaped the endless mountains, there were fewer ferocious birds and beasts, making it much safer. Two days later, he arrived near an important town on the border of the Stone Kingdom.

The ancient kingdom was truly vast, ruling over hundreds of millions of miles of land. A single powerful king's fiefdom contained hundreds of millions, or even billions, of people, and its territory was boundless.

Such a vast territory is naturally difficult to manage in its entirety. The only solution is to build a central megacity in the center of each region to deter any unrest. If a rebellion or disturbance occurs in a region, the experts stationed in the megacity will quickly mobilize and quell the unrest with lightning speed.

In fact, the Kingdom of Shi is at its peak and is far from needing to quell the rebellion. Especially in the last few hundred years, the Emperor's runes have reached the heavens, his divine power is unparalleled, and the country is becoming more and more prosperous. No one dares to betray it.

It was only in this frontier region that things were not so peaceful, because foreign tribes would occasionally come to knock on the gates, plunder the human race, and devour living beings. But for the vast ancient kingdom, some small battles were nothing.

Chongyun Town can actually be called a city, as it has a population of 80,000 and a very important geographical location. It is a major town in the west and a strategic pass under the central city of this region.

For nearly a century, powerful individuals from other races have occasionally invaded, but no one who has ever managed to break in on a large scale has ever succeeded.

Along the way, Little Dot met a number of people, mostly businessmen who went in and out of the primeval forests to buy animal hides and medicinal herbs from distant tribes. Although the round trip was very dangerous, the profits were extremely considerable.

"Well, let's go back early. I heard things haven't been peaceful lately. The Wood Clan in the Great Wilderness has been planning to send troops. Moreover, it's rumored that an ancient species has come from the depths of this mountain range. It has just settled here and will surely show off its power to intimidate others. It will most likely cause trouble in Yuncheng."

The little boy listened attentively. He was quite conspicuous traveling alone on horseback, but no one made things difficult for him. A child covered in blood, daring to travel alone like this, must be no ordinary person. In fact, these people often ventured into the primeval forests, and having seen much, they assumed he was mostly from a large family, out for training.

"Oh no, there seems to be a small swarm of beasts. Could it be that ancient remnant species has launched its attack ahead of schedule to establish its dominance?"

"It shouldn't be. It's probably just a regular beast king. There aren't that many beasts in the herd. Let's run!"

As they traveled, they could already see Chongyun Town in the distance. The city walls were majestic, like a mountain range blocking their way. They were built of huge stones called "Diamond Rock," which were jet black and shone with a terrifying metallic luster.

Before the city stood a flock of ferocious birds and beasts, a vast, dark mass. They did not circle the city, clearly intending to establish their dominance. Their roars were deafening, and they were about to attack the city, sending chills down one's spine.

"Quickly hide! I hope the High Priest can wipe out all these evil spirits!"

The group fled quickly, heading into the distance. They dared not enter the city at this time, fearing they would be targeted by the beasts and suffer a terrible fate.

In that city, right next to the city gate, there was an earthen hill with a plant growing on it. It was four or five zhang tall and could be clearly seen from outside the city. It was dark green all over and had huge leaves shaped like palm fans.

This is the spirit of Chongyun Town, a plant whose name even the people of the town cannot accurately identify. It is called the Spirit Master or the Chongyun Master.

It exudes a sweet fragrance, and among its huge, dark green leaves grow three extraordinary flowers, each as large as a millstone, with gorgeous petals that shimmer with rosy light. One is surrounded by red light, one is as white as jade, and one is shrouded in purple mist.

The beasts clearly spotted the people outside the city, and a group immediately spun out and charged towards them, roaring as they arrived at top speed.

"Lord Spirit, save us!" the group cried.

Little Dot was ready for battle, but at that moment, a flash of crimson light appeared, and the crimson flower on the plant on the earthen hill in the city bloomed, its petals no longer closing, emitting an astonishing wave.

"chi"

A streak of crimson light shot out, then swirled and slashed towards the area, instantly throwing the dozens of ferocious birds and beasts that were charging in into chaos. They roared incessantly, and blood gushed out one after another, severely damaging the beast horde.

The little boy's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he was surprised to discover that the so-called crimson light was actually a flying sword, its entire body crimson and as clear as fire jade.

"A flower containing a flying sword?"

Before long, all of these dozens of ferocious beasts and strange birds fell into pools of blood, some with their heads cut off, others with their bodies severed—a truly brutal sight!

"It's much more powerful than the Divine Wolf of Wolf Village. Even before Aunt Qinglin Eagle ate the flesh and blood of the Suanni, it was definitely far inferior." The little one whispered. The crimson light was too swift. In just a short while, it had subdued these ferocious creatures.

With a flash of light, the crimson sword flew towards the city.

Those merchants who had been collecting animal hides and medicinal herbs all turned pale. After regaining their senses, they kowtowed to Chongyun Town to express their gratitude for the great favor.

"Oh, so it's its stamen, it looks exactly like a flying sword!" The little one exclaimed in surprise. The flying sword was just a stamen, shaped like a sword. After flying back, it inserted itself between the petals, flowing with dazzling light, and then the whole flower closed up again.

"Lord Chongyun has been guarding this place for hundreds of years. Starting from a small town with a population of less than a thousand, the city now has a population of over 80,000. His contribution is truly remarkable."

"In terms of strength, Lord Chongyun is capable of guarding a giant city. He is no weaker than the city's spirit guardians, but he has always been unwilling to leave."

The people were talking amongst themselves, and the little one was astonished when he heard it; this plant was indeed very powerful.

"This sacrificial spirit is extraordinary." In the city, a slightly plump middle-aged man muttered to himself. He was fair-skinned and beardless, with a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.

“It is very powerful, and such a sacrificial spirit is rare. Why don’t you, sir, step forward and invite it? Perhaps this sacrificial spirit will join our Rain Clan,” a young man next to him said.

The slightly overweight middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Forget it, it won't be good if word gets out. We need to focus on the important business. I wonder if Miss Xia Youyu has returned yet. We've come to ask for that talisman."

Outside the city, the beasts remained, and fierce birds of prey lingered in the sky, showing no sign of retreat despite the deaths of some of their kind.

In the city, on the earthen hill, there was a sacred tree that was four or five zhang tall, with a dark green body and three millstone-sized flowers that resembled peonies. The flowers shimmered with rosy light and were very beautiful, and a faint fragrance wafted from it.

The more the sacrificial spirit remained silent and did not take the initiative to attack, the more uneasy the beasts outside the city became. They were terrified of this sacrificial spirit that had been rooted here for many years. Although they did not retreat, they dared not attack for the time being.

Suddenly, a long cry rang out, its sound like thunder, shaking the dense forest and causing leaves to fall in disarray. A massive black shadow appeared in the sky; a ferocious bird, fifty or sixty meters long, swooped down, its body shimmering with dark light, brimming with vital energy. Its silver eyes were sharp as lightning, runes flashing, and an oppressive aura descended from the heavens. (End of Chapter)
