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

Chapter 336 Reunion

Shi An sat cross-legged under the willow tree, immersed in the magnificent Taoist charm, and for a moment felt as if his soul had been cleansed.

The illusory golden willow sprouted and grew in his consciousness, golden Dao patterns surging like a galaxy, and every vein on its leaves flowing with the power of laws beyond comprehension.

At this moment, time seemed to lose its meaning.

While Shi An was immersed in cultivating the Willow Divine Technique, Yun Xi, Cao Yusheng, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, and others were invited to their respective clan territories by the ten major tribes of the Sacrificial Spirit Realm and were treated with great hospitality.

On the other hand, Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er's experiences were much richer and more exciting.

They first followed the message left by Lan Yichen to Bright City, but then learned that Lan Yichen and Luo Dao were ambushed and killed for finding the treasure Eight Treasures Qilin. They were both seriously injured and on the verge of death, and could only hide in Silver Demon Mountain to prolong their lives. They were furious.

So, Shi Hao and his companion first plundered the forces that were surrounding Lan Yichen and his companion, and then rushed to Silver Demon Mountain to rescue the two who were barely alive.

After Shi Hao healed the two, they heard that the Fiend Nest, which contained the inheritance of the Ten Fiends, had opened. Without much thought, the group immediately turned around and headed towards the Fiend Nest.

After all, Shi Hao has already obtained six of the Ten Ferocious Treasure Techniques. If he obtains one more, he will be one step closer to collecting all ten Ferocious Treasure Techniques.

And so, the group arrived near the haunted house.

Although they encountered some crises along the way, they ultimately arrived safely without any major incidents.

However, unlike the original story, Shi Hao first gathered immortal energy before arriving at the haunted house. Therefore, he did not encounter Qin Hao, Shi Yi, or even the Six-Crown King at the beginning, but entered the haunted house very calmly.

However, after entering the haunted house, they unexpectedly encountered each other.

Similarly, because Shi Hao was much slower, by the time they reached the end of the evil nest, it was already deserted, and they had gained nothing.

After that, Shi Hao, who thought he had resolved the trivial matters, did not go to other places. Instead, after learning about the Spirit Sacrifice Realm, he immediately took Huo Ling'er and rushed there.

"who?"

Like Shi An, Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er were stopped by a group of guards as soon as they stepped into the territory of the Spirit Sacrifice Realm.

These guards, clad in strange armor, with wary eyes and weapons gleaming coldly, surrounded the two.

"Ara? You've finally arrived!"

But unlike Shi An, the next moment a cute and playful voice rang out, and then a small head with a pair of big rabbit ears suddenly popped out from the crowd. It was the Taiyin Jade Rabbit!
The Lunar Jade Rabbit leaped out from behind the guards, its ruby-like eyes sparkling with excitement.

Cao Yusheng and Yun Xi followed behind her.

"Hey bro, you're a bit slow, it took you this long to get here."

The chubby boy crossed his arms and looked at Shi Hao.

"Xiao Hao, Ling'er!"

Yunxi also greeted the two of them with a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Shi Hao grinned, revealing his white teeth, and bowed to Yun Xi with clasped hands. Then he looked at the Taiyin Jade Rabbit and Cao Yusheng and joked, "You two seem to be living a carefree life, getting quite familiar with this Spirit Sacrifice Realm."

"That's natural."

Upon hearing this, the Lunar Jade Rabbit immediately raised its little face, its ears twitching: "We are now honored guests of the Spirit Realm!"

At the same time, Huo Ling'er, who was standing to the side, also greeted everyone with a smile.

Similarly, seeing how familiar Shi Hao and his companion were with Yun Xi and the others, and that Shi Hao even addressed Yun Xi as "sister-in-law," the guards who had been somewhat wary immediately put away their weapons and respectfully made way for them.

Clearly, Yunxi and the others had already become familiar with them.

Seeing this, Shi Hao looked around and, finding no sign of Shi An, asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, where's my brother?" "Him? He's..."

However, just as Yunxi was about to answer, the Lunar Jade Rabbit spoke first: "He's over at the altar!"

As she spoke, she pointed to a mountain peak in the distance that was shrouded in golden light.

"I see..."

Gazing at the divine peak shrouded in golden light in the distance, Shi Hao nodded thoughtfully.

He could feel the vast fluctuations emanating from there, which shared the same origin as the Willow God's aura in his memory, but seemed to have an added touch of unfamiliar divinity.

"go!"

Thinking of this, Shi Hao did not hesitate at all, grabbed Huo Ling'er's wrist, and walked towards that place.

Upon seeing this, the Moon Jade Rabbit immediately hopped ahead to lead the way, with Yunxi and Cao Yusheng following closely behind.

Soon, the group arrived at the altar and saw the towering golden willow tree.

The willow tree drooped with thousands of branches, each one flowing with runes of the Great Dao, its golden light cascading like a waterfall, illuminating the entire altar with a sacred and extraordinary aura.

Below, Shi An sat cross-legged, his expression solemn and serene, surrounded by a golden halo that blended perfectly with the scent of the willow tree.

Clearly, he is comprehending some supreme Daoist principle.

Seeing this, Shi Hao did not step forward to disturb them. Instead, he led Huo Ling'er to the golden willow and respectfully bowed to her, saying, "Willow Goddess, I have arrived!"

The willow trees swayed gently, their thousands of branches rustling as if responding to Shi Hao's greeting. Soft golden light shone down, enveloping Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er, and a warm and peaceful atmosphere spread out.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Then, the voice of the Willow Goddess drifted over, carrying a sense of vicissitude and wisdom accumulated over the years: "You have condensed immortal energy in one lifetime, but with only one strand, it is still insufficient."

"I know I will be able to condense three strands of immortal energy."

Shi Hao's voice was firm, and his eyes shone like stars, as if they contained endless faith and determination. He knew how important the three strands of immortal energy were to his own strength, and he also understood that this was a key step towards a higher realm.

The willow tree trembled slightly, as if nodding, and then a soft light shone down from the branches onto Shi Hao: "If that's the case, then go. The Cold Realm may allow you to advance further."

"The Cold Realm...?"

Shi Hao muttered to himself, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

The Frost Realm is a place filled with extreme cold, and it is said that many opportunities are hidden there.

"Thank you for your guidance, Goddess Liu!"

Thinking it over, Shi Hao bowed respectfully again, then turned to look at Huo Ling'er, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination: "Ling'er, I will be going to the Cold Realm for seclusion next, or perhaps you..."

Before Shi Hao could finish speaking, Huo Ling'er reached out and pressed her hand against his lips, whispering, "I'll join you too."

"I also need to go."

As soon as Huo Ling'er finished speaking, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit beside her chimed in, "If I stay here any longer, I'll almost forget why I came here in the first place."

Upon hearing the words of the Jade Rabbit, Cao Yusheng was also startled and immediately said, "In that case, I'll join you too!"

Only Yunxi, after glancing at Shi An who was still in seclusion, shook her head and said, "I won't go. I need to wait for him to wake up."

So, after staying for a night and still not seeing Shi An wake up, Shi Hao and the others finally stopped hesitating and left the Sacrificial Spirit Realm, heading towards the Cold Realm.
