Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

The bird held the jade bottle in its mouth and turned into a flame and disappeared into the sky. Shi Hao looked at the direction it left and suddenly felt a fire spirit bead in his palm - it was a gift from the little red bird, which contained the origin of the Nanming Lihuo.

"Let's end today's matter here." Jiang Han looked at the Human Emperor. Although the latter was unwilling, he had to admit that the young man in front of him was destined to be his. King You and Venerable Qianxi exchanged glances. After all, they did not dare to offend the existence that controlled the Heavenly Dao Seal, and they all turned into streams of light and left.

In the ruins of the imperial capital, Shi Hao held the square box and looked at the yin-yang fish pattern on his palm. He didn't know that this seemingly accidental battle for treasure was actually a test tailored for him by the Heavenly Dao - the fusion of the Supreme Bone and the Heavenly Bone not only gave him the power to suppress the heavens, but also opened the door to the thirty-three heavens.

As the dusk deepened, Jiang Han patted Shi Hao's shoulder gently and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back. Remember, a truly strong person does not conquer the world, but protects all living beings." The child nodded as if he understood, and the seal of heaven on his chest flickered, as if responding to this ancient truth.

In the distance, the girl with double pupils was hiding in the ruins holding Shi Yi's body, looking at the direction Shi Hao left. The new pendant on her neck was exactly the half piece of Shangcang bone that was lost in the battle just now, which was resonating with the reincarnation lamp mark on Shi Yi's clavicle.

"Just wait, child of destiny," she murmured softly, her fingertips stroking the dark red mark between Shi Yi's brows, "One day, we will come back." Before she finished her words, the two figures had disappeared into the twilight, leaving only a trail of bloody footprints, which were gradually swallowed up by the night.

The bronze wind chimes in the Wuwang Mansion trembled in the night wind. Each bell tongue was engraved with the rune of "life" from the "Taichu Sutra", which was resonating with the green light from Jiang Han's fingertips. The fire sparrow curled up in his palm, and the runes on the wound twisted like a living thing, but turned into powder the moment it touched the green light. Shi Hao squatted aside, watching the bones on the bird's chest reorganize at a speed visible to the naked eye, and suddenly remembered the scene when the willow god repaired the broken branch in Shi Village - the same green light, the same vitality.

"Suzaku, you actually defected to humans!"

Amid the roar, Zhu Yan's Heaven-Flipping Stick was already in front of him. This magical weapon made from the fragments of Dinghaishenzhen was wrapped with the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, and the "Qi" pattern on the stick was as bright as the sun. However, just as the stick was about to touch Jiang Han's eyebrows, it suddenly froze in the air, as if it was thrown into sticky amber. Zhu Yan was horrified to find that his three arms were shaking uncontrollably, and every hair was wailing.

"As if I don't exist?" The true dragon phantom of the Stone Country Emperor stepped out of the clouds, but the dragon claws stopped abruptly three feet away from Jiang Han. The Emperor was shocked to see that the green light on Jiang Han's fingertips had turned into a giant net, trapping Qiongqi's netherworld claws, the spiritual vortex of the Sky-Swallowing Bird, and Zhu Yan's Heaven-Flipping Stick. What flowed between the meshes was the legendary "Heavenly Dao Pattern".

"Is this the Hongjun Law Network?" The Nine Nether Lamp of the King of Hell suddenly went out, and the skull pendants exploded one after another. He remembered the record he saw in the Burial Valley ten thousand years ago: Those who can imitate the Heavenly Dao Pattern with their own spiritual energy must be great powers who have achieved the Dao of Hunyuan. Could this person in front of him be the Hongjun lineage of the legendary "One Qi into Three Pure Ones"?
The firefly suddenly chirped, and the Nanming Lihuo overflowing from its body dyed the green light in Jiang Han's palm into golden red. Shi Hao was surprised to see that new feathers had grown from the bird's wound, each of which showed a dual form of flame and bone, which was the "Nirvana Feather" of the ancient Vermilion Bird. Three hundred years ago, the Willow God pointed to the fiery clouds in the sky and said, "Those are the embers of the Vermilion Bird's Nirvana." Seeing this scene with his own eyes, the child's eyes were full of stars.

"Thank you!" The Fire Bird spoke in human language, its voice as clear as a bell. It flapped its wings and flew into the air, its tail feathers swept across Zhu Yan's Heaven-Flipping Stick, and actually peeled off 30% of the Taoist patterns on it. Qiongqi and the Sky-Swallowing Bird roared unwillingly at the same time, but found that their attacks were like a drop in the ocean, not even touching Jiang Han's Taoist robe.

"What's in the box?" Shi Hao tugged at Jiang Han's sleeve. The moment the box was opened, he felt the Supreme Bone in his chest vibrate violently, and it resonated with the gems in the box. The first gem was engraved with "The Record of the Burning Sky of the Vermillion Bird", and the origin of the Southern Ming Fire jumped between the runes; the second gem was "The Blood Sutra of the Holy Ancestor of the Beast Clan", and the shadows of ancient beasts such as Qiongqi and Zhuyan appeared in the blood-colored lines; the third ball of blood was the most shocking, and it actually sealed the essence of an ancient real dragon.

"Good stuff." The pupils of the firefly reflected blood, and golden lines appeared on its feathers. It suddenly swooped down and drank up the dragon's blood. Suddenly, flames rose from its body and it turned into a nine-foot-high phantom of the Vermillion Bird in the air. Shi Hao saw that each feather of the phantom corresponded to a constellation, which was the legendary "Southern Vermillion Bird Seven Constellations Formation".

"How dare you swallow the blood of a real dragon!" The Sky-Swallowing Bird finally broke free, its huge beak opened like a black hole. But just as it pounced, it was hit in the middle of its forehead by a beam of starlight from Jiang Han's hand, and its huge body flew backwards like a kite, smashing the Wangjing Terrace in the distance.

"You've been fighting for so long, it turns out it's for this." Jiang Han tapped the Blood Sutra of the Holy Ancestor of the Beast Clan with his fingertips, and the blood-colored lines turned into thousands of tadpoles, drilling into Shi Hao's palm. The Supreme Bone Line lit up instantly, analyzing these ancient beast runes one by one, reflecting a dazzling rune starry sky in the eyes of the child.

"Human, give us the Blood Sutra back!" Qiongqi roared and spewed out the Netherworld Ghost Fire, but Shi Hao raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a golden bone pattern flew out, which actually refined the ghost fire into pure spiritual energy. The Human Emperor stared at this scene in amazement - the bone pattern was clearly the "Heavenly Tribulation Light" form of the Supreme Bone, which could directly refine the original power of the fierce beast.

"It's okay to give them to you." Jiang Han waved his sleeves, and the "Record of the Vermillion Bird Burning the Sky" and the "Blood Sutra of the Beast Tribe's Saint Ancestor" flew to the Fire Bird and the three fierce beasts respectively. "But remember, if you dare to step into the human territory again, I will send you to the Netherworld." Before he finished speaking, Hongjun's magic net suddenly shrank, and the three fierce beasts only felt their bones crackling, and they were forcibly teleported back to the East Desert Mountains.

The firefly landed on Shi Hao's shoulder, holding the "Suzaku Burning Heaven Record" in its mouth. Its newly grown tail feathers swept across the child's cheek, with warm anger: "Little one, I will protect you from now on." It suddenly turned its head to look at Jiang Han, with a little more awe in its eyes, "Thank you for the gift of the treasure, if I can achieve great success in the future, I will repay you for your kindness today."

"Go, and practice well." Jiang Han smiled and waved his hand, and three Chaos Pills flew out of his sleeves. "Each Chaos Pill can help you comprehend a layer of "Burning Heaven Record". Remember not to be greedy." The Fire Bird solemnly held the pill in its mouth, turned into flames and disappeared in the southern sky. The Fire Spirit Pearl left by its tail feathers condensed into the word "thank you" in the air.

The Human Emperor was silent for a long time, and finally stepped forward to salute: "I don't know your honorable name, senior, could you tell me something?" He noticed that the star map on Jiang Han's Taoist robe was now completely lit up, and each star point echoed the Heavenly Dao Seal on Shi Hao's brow, clearly a Hunyuan Taoist body like the "Heavenly Ginseng Fruit".

"It's just an empty name." Jiang Han smiled faintly and walked towards the mansion with Shi Hao, "If we are destined to meet again." Before he finished speaking, the two figures had disappeared in the moonlight, leaving only the faint chaotic energy patterns on the ground, like an unfinished painting of the way of heaven.

King You walked to the square box, picked up the remaining few drops of dragon blood, and suddenly trembled violently - the great principles contained in the blood were three levels higher than the "Nine Nether Realization" he practiced. Venerable Qianxi put his hands together, and in the "Rebirth Sutra" he recited, there appeared Sanskrit that he had never seen before, and every word pointed directly to the original heart.

"This battle." The Human Emperor looked at the fire in the southern sky and muttered to himself, "I'm afraid it will change the pattern of the entire Wilderness." He turned and looked in the direction where Shi Hao disappeared. The real dragon's phantom slowly dissipated behind him, but left a clear dragon claw mark on the ground - at the center of the claw, there was the same Heavenly Dao Seal pattern as Shi Hao.

On the ruins of the Wuwang Mansion, Shi Zhongtian stroked the broken mace and suddenly smiled. He remembered the jade slip that Jiang Han left before he left. There was only one sentence in it: "The real strong man does not conquer the world, but makes the world change." At this moment, looking at the lights that were lit again in the distance, he finally understood that the era belonging to Shi Hao had just begun. In the night sky, the cry of the fireflies spread to Shi Village, and the branches and leaves of the willow god suddenly swayed gently. It looked at the fire in the southern sky, remembered the figure standing with his hands behind his back many years ago, and finally showed a look of relief - the cycle of heaven did not disappoint its choice back then.

Deep in the East Desert Mountains, the three fierce beasts looked at the treasured scriptures in their hands and fell into deep thought. For the first time, clarity appeared in Qiongqi's magic fog, Zhu Yan's iron stick showed a bit more mercy, and a magical herb was spit out from the giant beak of the Sky-Swallowing Bird. They didn't know that all these changes were caused by the child named Shi Hao and the mysterious master behind him.

When the first rays of morning light illuminated the imperial capital, Shi Hao was wiping the Fire Spirit Orb left by the Fire Sparrow. Jiang Han stood in front of the window, looking at the pale sky in the east, and the Heaven-turning Seal in his sleeve suddenly made a clear sound - it was the induction of Hongjun's decree, indicating that a new Heavenly Dao Trial was about to begin.

"Master, where are we going tomorrow?" Shi Hao asked, looking up, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

"Go where you should go." Jiang Han smiled and raised his hand. A map made of chaotic energy appeared on his palm. "Remember, this world is huge. There are too many unknowns waiting for us to explore. And you," he gently tapped the Heavenly Dao Seal on Shi Hao's brow, "will be the witness of all this, and the changer."

The child nodded, not quite understanding, and turned to look out the window. In the distance, the Fire Sparrow's Fire Spirit Orb was gently spinning in the morning breeze, reflecting the phantoms of the myriad worlds. Shi Hao suddenly smiled, and he knew that his own adventure had just begun.

The night in the imperial capital was quiet and profound. Jiang Han sat in the main hall, stroking the little one's forehead with his fingertips, guiding the essence of the three great species to circulate in his body. The little one's whole body glowed, his bones crackled, and the golden lines under his skin moved like a living thing, which was a sign of the extreme state of moving blood. Above the imperial capital, countless cultivators were still discussing the battle in the daytime, and in the main hall, a conversation about the nature of the wasteland was revealing a shocking secret.

"You three tried to offend me before. If I let you go, I will feel unfair. But my beloved disciple needs some blood of fierce beasts to practice, so I will take it from you." Before Jiang Han finished speaking, he clenched his right hand, and the three fierce beasts in the distance, Qiongqi, Zhuyan, and Tianque, trembled suddenly, and a ball of blood flew out of their bodies. The three relic species looked pale, and they rolled and crawled into the void, fearing that they would lose their lives if they were a step slower.

"Master, what do you want?" The little guy stared at the suspended blood clot, curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Master will help you practice and strengthen your body. Bear with the pain." Jiang Han flicked his finger, and three balls of blood essence entered the little one's body like living things. In an instant, the little one shouted, and white mist rose from his body, and his bones made a crisp sound like frying beans. The blood essence of the three ancient species contained a great medicinal power. Even though Jiang Han deliberately suppressed it, the little one's face still flushed, and the veins under his skin bulged, but it was also translucent.

"The ultimate blood-moving realm! It is worthy of being a fusion of the essence of the three great species!" As the Human Emperor exclaimed, the little guy's body was filled with rosy light, like a small sun rising slowly. Jiang Han nodded with satisfaction and patted his head: "Master the power in your body, and once you have full control, you can impact the cave heaven realm."

The little guy agreed solemnly, his eyes fell on the jade box on the table: "Master, what are these two pieces of jade?"

"Whether you can learn the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Grass Sword Art depends on your comprehension." Jiang Han waved his sleeves, and two streams of light sank into the little guy's brow. The pupils of the Venerable Qianxi suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed: "This is the ancient Heavenly Art that has been lost in the Supreme Hall for ten thousand years! The Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

King You was shocked and continued, "This skill integrates all the laws. When it is cultivated, the six realms rise and fall like a black hole swallowing everything. It is extremely domineering! That grass sword technique... could it be related to the ancient Ten Evil Nine-Leaf Sword Grass?"

"The inheritance of the Supreme Palace, the Ten Evil Sword Techniques..." A voice of cold breath rang out from the crowd, "If this boy can master it, he will definitely become the Supreme in the future!"

Jiang Han smiled quietly and said nothing, his eyes swept through the burning eyes of the crowd. He knew what the inheritance of skills meant in this world. And what he mastered was far more than that - the spatial law of the Zhenzhen Fruit had long surpassed the cognition of this world.

The battle ended and the crowd gradually dispersed. Jiang Han and others were received by the Human Emperor into the palace. Late at night, the candlelight flickered in the hall, and the Human Emperor suddenly spoke: "There is movement in Tianshen Mountain. They are repairing the ancient formation."

"What secrets are those celestials hiding?" Venerable Qianxi frowned.

"They want to leave this cage." The Human Emperor sighed softly, with a complicated expression.

"Cage? What does that mean!" Shi Zhongtian was stunned.

"The desolate land we are in is nothing but a cage." The words of the Human Emperor were like thunder. "Blood Moving, Cave Heaven, Spiritual Transformation... Even if they have outstanding talents, why are the Venerables still rare? Because someone is deliberately suppressing them!"

King You stood up suddenly: "Are you saying that someone has blocked the path to advancement in the Wilderness?"

The Human Emperor nodded, with pain flashing in his eyes: "A million years ago, the Desolate Territory was the center of the universe, and gave birth to countless great emperors and supreme beings. But after a shocking war, the Desolate Territory was sealed and became a 'cage', making it difficult for cultivators to break through the realm of the Supreme Being, let alone become an emperor or a patriarch. The ancient formation guarded by the Celestial Race is part of the seal." (End of this chapter)
