Chapter 140 Great Wilderness Stone Village, Young Shi Hao
Looking at the past events from outside the river of time, Shi Hao suddenly realized something. Suddenly, countless symbols of the Great Dao appeared in his eyes, staring at He Lang's reflection in the river of time.

“Something’s strange. What I saw was just a reflection of him in the long river of time, not his true form. No wonder the darkness above the heavens is so wary of him. He has already achieved such a Dao Fruit that defies the operation of the Great Dao at the Immortal King realm!”

In Shi Hao's eyes, He Lang's figure was reflected. When he tried to trace He Lang's traces in the long river of time, he found that the traces He Lang left in the past were like the moon in the water or a flower in a mirror. This discovery made Shi Hao let out a soft exclamation.

When Shi Hao, who had long since become an Immortal Emperor, saw He Lang enter the timeline of his childhood, he felt a long-lost sense of shame.

Standing outside the world, he instantly lost interest in reminiscing about the past and walked step by step beyond the heavens. After his figure disappeared, the drop of imperial blood in the river of time instantly fell into the river of time and landed on his past self, fulfilling the destined cause and effect.

"Who claims to be invincible? Who dares to say they are undefeated? Even the fallen emperors of the era cannot be found among them!"

A loud roar echoed across the battlefield of Diguan...

Shicun is located in the vast and desolate mountains, surrounded by towering peaks that reach into the clouds.

"Little brats, practice the Kun Fist diligently, so that you may be able to leave the Great Wilderness and reach the realm of gods in the future."

At dawn, the rosy dawn and warm sunlight dispelled the morning mist and shone on a group of chubby-cheeked children stretching out. As the children made strange gestures, streaks of rosy light spread across their bodies, making them appear incredibly mystical.

A middle-aged man wearing an animal skin coat stared at the children with a serious expression. His exposed bronze skin gleamed with a metallic sheen and exuded a fierce aura.

When he saw a little boy in the group who had just learned to walk, shouting slogans and making gestures in a childish voice, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Little one, why didn't you go to Lord He Lang's place to drink beast milk today?"

Seeing the little one mimicking the Kun Fist passed down by the master in such a convincing way, the middle-aged man teased the little guy with a playful tone.

"Big brother said it's time for me to establish my foundation, so he told me to follow Brother Mischievous Monkey and the others to hone my physical body. I can drink the beast milk later!"

Little Shi Hao spoke in a childish voice, his rosy cheeks looking very endearing.

Upon hearing his words, the group of children burst into joyful laughter.

"Look at you guys, not focusing on training your bodies, and still laughing! You're getting an extra hour of training today!"

The children's laughter caused the middle-aged man, who had been smiling, to suddenly change his expression and announce with a serious face a message that turned a group of grown-ups into bitter faces.

"No, uncle! We agreed to meet outside the village..."

"I knew it would be like this!"

The older children shouted a few words, then began to practice the Kun Fist with complete focus. What surprised everyone the most was little Shi Hao. As the little guy practiced the supreme treasure technique passed down by the nobleman of Shi Village, a rosy glow rose from his body, transforming into a small black fish swimming in the void.

The commotion startled many people in Stone Village. The strong men of Stone Village appeared in front of the open space, looking at the little one with great curiosity.

"Little Stone is truly a cultivation genius! Lord He Lang said the little guy has the potential to become a Heavenly Emperor, and it seems he was absolutely right!" Someone laughed, watching this scene with immense joy.

When the little guy stopped moving and wobbled towards a tall stone house near a dark tree stump at the edge of the village, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.

"Grandpa Chief, Big Brother, I'm back."

The little one approached the stone house, twitched his nose, and smelled the milky aroma wafting from inside, a look of bliss on his face.

Big Brother said he would mix the milk of dozens of ferocious beasts to make him the ultimate beast milk, and it seems he really wasn't lying! "Little one's here! Come in quickly, I've already made your favorite, come and try Big Brother's cooking!"

Inside the stone house, a handsome young man carrying a ceramic jar walked to the dark tree stump in the courtyard, placed the jar on the stone table, and urged the little one to drink it while it was hot.

The young man was none other than He Lang, who had gone against the tide of time. At this moment, He Lang smiled and looked at the little one with a grin.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Little Shi Hao thanked He Lang in his childish voice, then happily took the ceramic jar from He Lang's hand and gulped down the wine.

"Big brother's boiled animal milk is so delicious."

After taking a big gulp, the little one praised He Lang's cooking skills repeatedly.

Young Shi Hao had no idea that the unscrupulous older brother in front of him had already captured these scenes and made them into historical fragments for his collection.

Instead, they happily drank the animal milk.

"Fellow Daoist, are you not afraid of interfering with the passage of time, causing turmoil in the past, affecting future generations and ancient history, getting tainted by enormous karma, and endangering yourself?"

Just as little Shi Hao finished drinking the beast milk and happily ran out of the yard to play with the older children in the village, a vigorous vitality suddenly emanated from the dark willow stump in the yard. The dark stump trembled slightly and sprouted tender willow branches, and the emerald green willow leaves bloomed with a dazzling glow.

A figure shrouded in light, equally elegant and peerless, dressed in imperial robes, appeared under the willow tree. Watching the little one walk away, he looked at He Lang with utmost solemnity.

"Even if all the karma of the heavens were to fall upon me, it wouldn't matter. What's there to be afraid of? Cultivation is inherently about defying the heavens. On the other hand, Goddess Liu, you seem to be in good condition and have recovered some of your cultivation. Congratulations."

He Lang smiled calmly, his confident and domineering demeanor leaving Liu Shen speechless for a moment. She felt a sense of wildness and untamed power emanating from the mysterious immortal king before her.

This is how Liu Shen views He Lang, little does she know that He Lang is also marveling at the many extraordinary women in the trilogy's world. Not to mention the Empress of the Shrouding the Heavens era, Liu Shen in front of him is also a fierce woman!
Not to mention her future audacity in challenging the plateau and rescuing the headstrong Shi Hao from the heavens, even in the more recent Immortal Ancient Era, she fought her way in and out of the alien realm seven times, displaying incredible ferocity.

He Lang, who rose to prominence during the era of "Covering the Sky," was very satisfied with this fearless spirit, feeling that Liu Shen possessed the orthodox style of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Liu Shen felt that He Lang's gaze was strange, and that he seemed to approve of her, which made her feel uneasy.

I have a feeling that this unscrupulous guy in front of me is thinking something bad.

"This little guy has amazing potential? That you're willing to risk your life to get close to him."

Liu Shen watched Shi Hao slip out of Stone Village with a group of older children and asked him about the doubts that had been accumulating in her heart since she silently watched the actions of this mysterious Heavenly Emperor after her Nirvana Rebirth.

“His achievements are indeed amazing. He will become an emperor in the future. However, you are wrong about one thing, Goddess Liu. I did not risk my life.”

He Lang didn't hide anything and briefly mentioned Shi Hao's future achievements, which caused a look of astonishment to appear on Liu Shen's flawless face.

"Breaking the King and Becoming the Emperor".

Willow Goddess murmured something, and the courtyard fell silent for a moment.
