In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

Shi Geng's wary gaze swept back and forth across the strange combination before him, and he silently assessed the situation.

"That huge ball of light floating in mid-air should be a powerful Earth-rank weapon. That middle-aged man with a profound aura is obviously a master among masters. Hmm, that boy doesn't look weak either. As for this kid... he'll probably cry for a long time if I punch him a couple of times."

The strange combination before him was eerie, making him tense and instinctively put on guard.

He remembered that he was still resting in his room, and after a short nap, he found himself in this unfamiliar place. The enemy must be very powerful to have been able to bring him out of the Stone Clan's Mystic Realm without him noticing.

His thoughts raced, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his mind: Could it be that the Soul Clan had begun to attack the Stone Realm, and these people in front of him were experts of the Soul Clan?

Thinking of this, Shi Geng's face suddenly darkened, his muscles bulged instantly, and his gaze toward the crowd was filled with intense hostility.

"Ahem, don't be nervous, bro, your golden touch is here."

Devouring Stone coughed twice to calm the other person down. Before the newcomer could recover from his shock, he reached out and grabbed his hand. A vast amount of memories flooded into his mind through the connection between their palms, and the massive amount of memories was instantly shared.

After a long while, Devouring Stone slowly raised its eyes, its gaze falling on the still-stunned newcomer, its tone tinged with surprise: "Battle Qi Transformation into a Horse? Cough cough, Battle Through the Heavens?"

The memories we just shared have shown us that this newly opened stone realm is from the world of Battle Through the Heavens, a world of pure battle qi, without magic or cultivation, only the most primal battle qi.

This Shi Geng, from the Doupo world, comes from the Shi clan, one of the eight ancient clans. It is a top clan with the bloodline of Dou Di and occupies the top position on the continent along with the Xiao clan, the Gu clan, and the Hun clan.

The Stone Clan's Dou Di bloodline specializes in physical tempering. The clan members are born with grayish-white skin and possess unparalleled physical talent. Their physiques are so strong that they can hold their own against top-tier magical beasts of the same level, and they are virtually unbeatable in close combat.

Unfortunately, by the time the bloodline was passed down to Shi Geng in Doupo, the Dou Di bloodline of the Shi clan had gradually withered away, and the entire clan's cultivation had plummeted and its power had declined day by day.

In the shadows, the Soul Clan had laid a blockade to trap and annihilate the Stone Realm. The once glorious Stone Clan could only eke out a living within the Mystic Realm, and its demise was only a matter of time.

Tian Dao Shi Gen spoke calmly: "Battle Through the Heavens? It's not too weak."

Looking at the Dou Qi Continent plane alone, the upper limit of this world is indeed not very strong, but the Dou Qi Continent is merely a lower plane that is attached to the Great Thousand World.

The vast world governs countless planes, with boundless territories and countless powerful beings. The Dou Qi Continent is merely one of the many lower planes.

"It's not weak, but it's also quite dangerous."

Longshe Shigen slowly nodded. The Doupo plane was indeed different from the various worlds where they lived, but it was by no means an ordinary place.

Currently, Shi Geng is trapped in the Stone Clan's Xuan Realm in Doupo. Although his cultivation level is at the Dou Wang realm, his opponent is the Soul Clan, which has been plotting for a long time and has a powerful influence. Unless a miracle occurs, he can break out of this predicament.

"To break through, one must at least have the strength of a Dou Sheng. It is extremely difficult to break through from Dou Wang to Dou Sheng in a short period of time."

Perfect Shi Geng shook his head and withdrew his hand from Doupo Shi Geng's body. Although the world he was in was extremely dangerous, there was still room for him to cultivate step by step. On the other hand, Doupo Shi Geng was now trapped in the closed Xuan Realm, with the powerful Soul Clan eyeing him covetously. He was facing the Soul Emperor, the big BOSS, right from the start. It was simply a disastrous start.

Longshe Shigen said, "It may be difficult, but we'll help you out as much as we can. With the Heavenly Dao around, there's still a chance."

Doupo Shigen shuddered, his mind pulling himself out of the vast memories. The dormant Dou Di bloodline beneath his gray skin suddenly warmed up, as if the depleted bloodline had been awakened by some magical power. The previously stagnant Dou Wang bottleneck showed signs of loosening.

"The bloodline of the Dou Di has actually been revived."

Doupo Shigen's mind trembled as he clearly sensed that the Dou Di bloodline, which had been dormant for generations and was almost exhausted, was slowly warming up deep within his flesh and blood, with strands of warm power flowing through his meridians.

The once withered and stagnant bloodline of the Dou Di was nourished by some kind of magical power, quietly and slowly awakening and subtly transforming his body.

He raised his hand to stroke his grayish-white skin, feeling the immense power surging beneath his flesh, the Stone Clan's innate talent for a powerful physique being reactivated.

The frustration of being trapped in the Xuan Realm and watching helplessly as his clan gradually withered away vanished, replaced by a burning hope in his eyes.

Perfect Stone Gen slowly spoke: "Although we can't share cultivation power, our origins will increase together for every additional person in the True Spirit Space. You've only just entered the space, so the benefits aren't very noticeable yet. But as you stay longer, the Dou Di bloodline within you will recover faster and faster."

Doupo Shigen nodded. After sharing memories, he naturally learned about this characteristic of the True Spirit Space.

Just like the perfect stone, if he had not entered the True Spirit Space, even if he had managed to reach the Blood Moving Realm by sheer luck, his physical divine power would have been limited to tens of thousands of jin before hitting a bottleneck.

With the nourishment of the primordial essence gathered in the True Spirit Space, his current aptitude and comprehension have already surpassed their original limits, and his foundation is far more profound than those so-called great clan prodigies.

"Although the Dou Di bloodline within you has been restored, there are still many obstacles to reaching the Dou Sheng level in the short term. In that case, I will help you deduce a unique cultivation technique later," Tian Dao Shi Gen said.

Having obtained the World Tree, his ability to deduce creation is now far beyond what it used to be. Moreover, with so many Dou Qi techniques from the Doupo Shi Clan, creating a technique tailored to Doupo Shi Gen is not a difficult task for him.

Upon hearing this, Doupo Shigen was overjoyed and bowed to express his gratitude: "Then I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist."

"Okay, I'll share the results with you later after I've figured it out."

The suspended celestial orb of light flashed, and its form vanished into the True Spirit Space in an instant.

The remaining few chatted for a while, planning their future, before bidding farewell and dispersing, and the vast True Spirit Space fell silent once more.

Stone village

Shi Geng slowly opened his eyes, casually put away the talisman bone he had been playing with for a long time, stood up and stretched his muscles and bones. The collision of the bones produced a series of muffled explosions, as if several thunderbolts were exploding in his body.

The vast amount of memories transmitted from the Heavenly Dao in the True Spirit Space surfaced in Shi Geng's mind. He smiled, stepped out of the wooden house, and walked straight towards the willow tree at the village entrance. After honing his skills in the Blood Moving Realm for so long, it was time for him to break through.

"Willow Goddess, I'm about to break through."

Upon reaching the foot of the Willow Tree, Shi Geng looked up at the lush green willow branches hanging down from the Willow Tree and spoke frankly.

The willow branches swaying in the wind paused slightly, and a wisp of warm and long-lasting life essence rolled down from the tree crown, slowly swirling around Shi Gen, as if in agreement.

After receiving a response from the Willow God, Shi Geng sat cross-legged under the tree, focusing his mind on breaking through the shackles.
