Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 210 Elder brother is like father
Of course, Shi An was unaware of these things, as he was engrossed in his battle with the statues and pottery jars.

It must be said that these beings are indeed worthy of being former Immortal Kings. Even though he broke through the traditional limits in every realm, it was still very difficult to fight against them.

But it was only a struggle, after all, the limit he broke was unprecedented in history, and more importantly, a Celestial Emperor-level array was engraved in his body - the Zhou Tian Star Array!
With this, and the blessing of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Shi An was struggling, but not in dire straits. The two were like the two ends of a scale, maintaining a delicate balance amidst fierce collisions.

What truly puzzled Shi An was that, whether it was because these Celestial Kings were sealed or something else, the Chaos Bell did not display its divine power as it had when facing the Demon King Pu last time; it merely protected him from being corrupted by the black mist.

"boom!"

Shi An swung his fist, which was wreathed in chaotic light, and it collided violently with a bony hand that emerged from an earthenware pot, producing a deafening roar.

Although he was covered in blood, his eyes were even more resolute, and his fighting spirit was like a raging flame, dancing wildly in his pupils.

"As expected of a Celestial King-level existence, even a trace of residual power leaking from the seal is so formidable and not to be underestimated!"

Shi An pondered to himself, while simultaneously operating the Zhou Tian Star Array within his body at full power. Countless illusory stars flickered around him, providing him with a continuous source of power.

The phantoms of the Twelve Ancestral Witches also appeared and disappeared behind him, emitting low roars that added to his boundless power.

In the fierce battles with the statues and pottery jars, Shi An became increasingly adept at wielding the power he possessed, as if every inch of his flesh and blood, every ray of divine light, was resonating with the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The Zhou Tian Star Array drew upon the power of all the stars in the heavens, transforming it into a dazzling light curtain that enveloped his body. The phantoms of the twelve Ancestral Witches roared and merged into his fists, imbuing each strike with the power to create the world.

"Shh!"

A bloody claw slashed from the side, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, aimed straight at Shi An's throat.

"Ok?"

Shi An's eyes narrowed, his body shifted slightly to the side, and at the same time, his right hand shot out like lightning, accurately grabbing the sharp claw.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he snapped the claw in two.

"boom!"

Just as Shi An was about to press his advantage, another bloody hand emerged from a nearby earthenware jar and attacked him.

Its speed was so fast that even though Shi An had reacted immediately, he was still hit in the shoulder and flew backward with a bang, eventually crashing heavily into the wall of the Black Hall.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Shi An's mouth, and his face turned somewhat pale, but he showed no fear whatsoever; instead, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

The stronger the presence in these stone statues and earthenware jars, the better the effect of tempering them.

"Come again!"

Shi An roared and leaped to his feet, charging once more towards the stone statues and earthenware jars. His body shone with light, like a war god, as he swept through the black hall.

As the fierce battle continued, Shi An's fighting spirit burned like a raging fire, growing ever stronger. In this dark hall, he was like a tireless beast, charging again and again at the stone statues and earthenware pots.

Every collision and every injury he suffered was like a warhammer striking his will, tempering it in blood and fire.

"Oh!"

With another loud bang, Shi An threw a punch, forcing a statue back, but he did not linger. Instead, he took the opportunity to leave the hall.

He has been here for two months since he arrived, and his strength has improved dramatically compared to before. It's time for him to go back and rest.

"Seniors!" Outside the black ancient hall, after making some adjustments, Shi An immediately cupped his hands to Bird Master and Master Jingbi and said, "Thank you both very much for this trip. I have gained a lot from this trip and now I need to go back and reflect. I will take my leave now."

"see you later!"

After saying that, without waiting for the two to reply, Shi An vanished from the scene in a flash and returned to reality.

"came back."

Upon his return, Shi An heard a familiar voice he hadn't heard in a long time, so gentle and moving.

Looking up, he saw a graceful figure sitting on a wooden chair in front of the bed. It was Yunxi, who had been protecting Shi An here all along.

Yunxi wore a light purple dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, making her resemble a violet blooming in the clouds. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows as dark as distant mountains, and her eyes, like clear springs, were now gazing at Shi An with concern.

Looking at the familiar and warm face before him, Shi An felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his lips: "Yes, you're back."

"What's going on now? What has my brother been doing while I was away?"

As he asked the question, Shi An got up and went to Yun Xi's side.

"That guy is something else now."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi slowly stood up and, as she walked with him outside, began to tell him about what had happened during this time.

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Central Heavenly Palace and met Shi Hao.

"younger brother!"

Seeing Shi Hao talking to Peng Jiu inside, Shi An naturally called out "brother" and then led Yun Xi inside: "I heard you rebuilt the Heaven-Mending Pavilion? Congratulations, you have finally fulfilled your vow."

"Brother, you're back?!"

Upon seeing Shi An appear, Shi Hao was taken aback at first, then smiled and replied, "Yes, I recently rebuilt the Heaven-Mending Pavilion with my former fellow disciples on the original site."

After saying that, Shi Hao immediately changed the subject and asked about Shi An's situation: "By the way, brother, what exactly did you encounter in the Void God Realm? How come you stayed there for two months?"

"Well..."

However, to Shi Hao's surprise, Xiao An, who would always answer his questions in the past, did not reply this time. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and said, "By the way, little brother, I just heard you tell Peng Jiu that you are short of spiritual herbs."

“Perfect timing, I have some left here. You can use these first, and let me know if you need more.”

As he spoke, Shi An handed a Qiankun bag to Shi Hao.

"Thank you, brother."

Shi Hao did not refuse Shi An's kindness, nor did he pretend to be coy; instead, he accepted it very generously.

In his heart, Shi An was not only an older brother, but also a teacher and a father.

Whether it was fetching milk from a ferocious beast when he was an infant, teaching him principles of conduct in his childhood, or bestowing upon him supreme magical arts when he was a teenager, all of these had already been deeply ingrained in his mind.

If you still act coy and pretentious after all this, then you are treating the other person like an outsider.

Therefore, Shi Hao generally would not refuse the gifts given by Shi An, nor would he say anything else; he kept everything to himself.
