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

Chapter 466 Three Possibilities
"We're just speculating; there are roughly three possibilities regarding the whereabouts of the Immortal Scripture,"

The veteran leader's voice was deep and metallic, as if he were recounting a secret buried for ages. His gaze, hidden beneath his armor, swept across Shi Hao's face as he slowly began to speak.

"One of them is right here."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the palaces, pavilions, and caves deep within the immortal city, shrouded in dust and immortal mist: "The Heavenly Horned Ant of yesteryear was a powerful figure throughout the world. Perhaps he left the scriptures to his descendants, hidden deep within this core inheritance site, waiting for their bloodline to grow strong enough to open them on its own."

"Secondly, it is possible that they were lost on the brutal battlefield of that year."

As he spoke, the veteran leader's tone became heavier, as if he had returned to that era when the heavens were stained with blood: "At the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, the heavens and earth collapsed and the earth cracked. Lord Tianjiao Ant was so powerful that he killed many immortals, but he himself also suffered unimaginable injuries."

"In that earth-shattering battle, many important items he carried were left behind deep in the battlefield, disappearing without a trace along with the shattered world. Among them may have been the Immortal Scripture."

"Three things..."

At this point, he paused slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of the immortal city, looking out over the vast void of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths: "It's possible that it landed in a forbidden area within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

“Those places have existed since ancient times, mysterious and unpredictable. They may harbor great evils or be natural barriers, isolated for eternity. Even in our most prosperous times, we would find it difficult to explore them.”

"Three possibilities, difficult to determine."

The veteran leader shook his head in the end, his tone filled with deep helplessness and a sense of vicissitude.

They have guarded this place for countless years, witnessing countless rises and falls, yet they have never been able to find this key scripture concerning the future fighting power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Soon, his gaze swept over Shi Hao and the other geniuses from this era behind him, and he continued to explain, "At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why we agreed to allow you non-immortal bloodline individuals to enter the core inheritance area."

"We have searched for eternity without success, but the world is unpredictable and fate is mysterious."

"Perhaps you people of this era are blessed with the destiny of this world, possessing opportunities and variables that we lack. After all, even that broken path has been traversed by some; who knows, you might have even found the Immortal Scripture!"

At the end, he gave Shi Hao a meaningful look.

These words are both a frank account of the faint clues to the Immortal Scripture and contain a trace of the veterans' expectations and hopes for future generations and for the pride of this era.

The missions they could not accomplish will ultimately need to be undertaken by these young people.

Shi Hao's eyes were bright as he memorized every word the veteran leader said.

The Immortal Scripture is so powerful that it cannot be buried by Heaven or destroyed by Earth. It grants the physical body spiritual power and can even give birth to a primordial spirit... It's as if this supreme method was tailor-made for him!
His path is to use his body as a seed to pursue the ultimate physical potential. If he can obtain this scripture, he will be like a tiger with wings, truly able to stand shoulder to shoulder with, or even surpass, the descendants of the Ten Fiends like the Heavenly Horned Ant in the realm of the physical body!

Three possibilities...

As he pondered, his gaze involuntarily fell upon the quietly standing Primordial Mother Cauldron, and then swept over the little Heavenly Horned Ant that was still somewhat unconvinced to the side.

If we're talking about clues, the most crucial one is undoubtedly the direct descendant of the Ten Fiends right before us.

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, the little ant immediately retorted, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you still covet my family heirloom? Let me tell you, it was left to me by my father, and you can forget about touching it!"

Seeing this, Shi Hao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident and somewhat mocking smile: "Of course I won't take your things by force. However, if I find the Undying Scripture through my own fortuitous encounters in the future, just don't be envious."

Upon hearing this, the little ant bristled, waving its tiny fists and angrily saying, "Hmph, you? I don't believe you!"

"Moreover, once I come of age, my physical strength will be unparalleled throughout history. The Immortal Scripture will be nothing more than icing on the cake for me."

Shi Hao shrugged dismissively, "Then let's wait and see." He then turned his gaze back to the mysterious places shrouded in immortal mist deep within the immortal city, secretly thinking that if the Undying Scripture was indeed hidden there, he would definitely do his best to search for it.

The veteran leader seemed to have seen through Shi Hao's thoughts and immediately said in a deep voice, "We have not been able to fully explore the depths of Lord Tianjiao Ant's cave. Since you have passed the test, you may give it a try. You might have such an opportunity."

"But remember, do what you can and don't force things."

These words drew envy from everyone present and sparked heated discussions, but they could also understand, because this was an opportunity that Huang had obtained through his own abilities.

Besides, most of them were brought in by the other party, such as the witch, Chang Gongyan, Cao Yusheng, and a group of disciples from the Heavenly God Academy.

However, some people were jealous but helpless, such as Zi Ri Tian Jun and Lan Xian, some young supreme beings who were known as the strongest generation in the Nine Heavens, but could not enter the cave.

"Thank you, senior!"

Shi Hao cupped his hands in greeting, but then turned to look at Huo Ling'er, Cao Yusheng, and the others, and asked, "Um... can I bring some people in?"

"cannot!"

Unfortunately, the leader rejected Shi Hao's request without hesitation.

"All right·····"

Disappointed at not getting the result he wanted, Shi Hao's eyes lit up when he saw Shi An carefully examining the Yuanmu Cauldron: "Brother An, come in with me!"

"Ok?"

Shi Hao's words were like a thunderclap on the silent mountaintop, making everyone who had subconsciously ignored Shi An suddenly remember that he was also a member of the younger generation and had not yet been tested.

In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted from Shi Hao and focused entirely on Shi An, who had been standing quietly to the side, seemingly isolated from the surrounding noise.

Yunxi also glanced sideways at the person beside her, her beautiful eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of pride.

Shi An was originally observing the Yuanmu Cauldron, which embodied the ultimate profound meaning of power, with great interest. Upon hearing this, he slightly raised his eyes, calmly met Shi Hao's expectant gaze, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Alright."

His voice remained calm, without much emotion, as if he were merely agreeing to a trivial matter.

However, his two casual words stirred up a huge wave in everyone's hearts!

"Fourth Brother...he agreed?!"

Cao Yusheng's eyes widened, his chubby face filled with disbelief, but this was quickly followed by worry.

They had just witnessed firsthand how strict that veteran leader's rules were; what gave Shi An the right to...?

The Qilin cub in the Moon Jade Rabbit's arms also perked up its little ears and looked curiously at Shi An with its ruby-like eyes.

The witch, Qingyi, and the others also held their breath, their eyes darting back and forth between Shi An and the veteran leader.
