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

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

After the battle for the remains of the Suanni, Shicun returned to its former tranquility. Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng was busy every day, making intensive preparations for the baptism.

For the past two weeks, Shi Geng has been busy for the entire time.

He was immersed in studying and comprehending the remains of the Suanni all day long, with the Heavenly Dao Stone analyzing them day and night in the True Spirit Space, and his progress was terrifyingly fast.

In just half a month, he comprehended the Suanni Treasure Technique by analyzing the remains of the Suanni, and even integrated its mysteries into the Yundao Fist, making this supreme fist technique even more profound and powerful.

Unfortunately, this Suanni treasure technique was not perfect; it was clearly incomplete. This was likely because the old Suanni's bloodline was impure, resulting in a gap in the transmission.

Even so, this incomplete Suanni Treasure Technique is still incredibly powerful and domineering, far surpassing ordinary treasure techniques, and even more powerful than the Azure Scaled Eagle Treasure Technique.

Shi Geng slowly opened his eyes, a flash of lightning streaked across them for a moment, before returning to calm.

"At the late stage of the Blood Transformation Realm, I can exert 50,000 jin of pure physical strength with a single hand. If I were to use a special technique, I would be invincible within the Blood Transformation Realm."

He stood up, his aura restrained, looking no different from an ordinary four-year-old child. But only he knew the terrifying power lurking within him.

Although in terms of sheer physical strength, his 50,000 jin is far inferior to the 108,000 jin of divine strength that Little Dot in the original story could achieve with a single wave of his hand, and even many powerful figures of the same realm from major clans are slightly inferior to him.

However, Shi Geng's understanding and control over bone inscriptions, magical techniques, and the world had long surpassed the limits of the Blood Moving Realm, and was simply incomparable to cultivators of this realm.

If a real battle breaks out, physical strength may be insufficient, but magical techniques can make up for it.

He employed a variety of techniques, including the Azure Scaled Eagle Technique, the Suanni Technique, and the Dao-Containing Fist, demonstrating absolute confidence.

Within the same realm, he is already invincible!

Shi Geng slowly clenched his fist, and a faint rumble of thunder seemed to roll between his knuckles.

But before he could even feel triumphant, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the distant mountains, and towering flames swept upwards, turning the entire sky a blinding crimson.

The flames were so intense that they seemed to burn down the sky. A small red bird swooped out, its divine power overwhelming and awe-inspiring!

"Buzz—"

Above the thick clouds, a gigantic golden claw, obscuring the sky and the sun, crashed down with an aura of eternal suppression, directly grabbing at the little red bird. Its terrifying power was beyond description.

"laugh!"

The little red bird darted away, quickly shifting to the side to avoid the attack.

The furry, golden giant claw slammed down, tearing the entire mountain range apart. Rocks flew through the air, and dust billowed, creating a terrifying scene.

This is a battle between two terrifying ancient species, as if a mythical scroll has descended to earth, their power and might are terrifying to the extreme.

But Shi Geng simply sighed softly: "It's been two years, and they're still fighting. Can't they just stop for a moment?"

He was already used to the fierce battles deep in the mountains. Since two years ago, every now and then a massive battle would break out deep in the mountains, all for the sake of the treasure hidden there.

Although Shi Geng also coveted the mountain treasure, with his current strength, he was simply unable to intervene in a battle of this level.

Let alone a direct confrontation, the mere aftershocks of the battle would be enough to crush him into ashes, leaving him with no trace of his body.

"Improving our strength is still the most important thing."

Shi Geng shook his head and turned away, no longer looking at the fierce battle deep in the mountains. The distance was too great; even if he observed, it would be difficult to glean any insights.

"Grandpa the clan chief should have finished making preparations. I wonder how much I will improve after this baptism."

Compared to the unattainable mountain treasure, he cared more about the baptism that was about to begin.

Although Shicun Village is no longer as glorious as it once was, it still retains some of its former prominence, which fills him with anticipation, especially with the ancient prescriptions in the hands of the clan leader, Shi Yunfeng.

Shi Geng set off for the open space in Shi Village.

In the center stands a large black cauldron, ancient and majestic. The cauldron is decorated with images of the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, fish, and insects, as well as grand scenes of ancient people kneeling in worship. It is mysterious and awe-inspiring, exuding the Taoist charm of time.

The cauldron was filled with spiritual spring water, and the black dragonwood below burned fiercely, flames billowing, while the spring water boiled rapidly. This was to use the most intense true fire to refine the most domineering ancient elixir.

The surrounding area is filled with the remains of many ferocious beasts and birds of prey, each a rare and precious treasure.

Among them, the remains of the Suanni are the most eye-catching. It is golden all over, with a divine glow. Its fur is like gilded silk, which shines brightly under the morning glow.

Beside it lay several meters long crimson horns, as if carved from red agate, surrounded by crimson clouds, which were the spiritual blood of the ancient Fire Ox.

There is also a section of demon ape arm, which, although not much different from a normal human arm, is filled with a terrifying and ferocious aura and contains ancient true blood. It is extremely rare and precious.

Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng stood solemnly before the black cauldron, placing one ancient herb after another, all of which were potent medicinal herbs that had been stored for many years.

"Xiao Gen, you've arrived. Go and cleanse yourself in preparation for baptism."

Shi Geng nodded gently and removed his clothes as instructed. Several women from the village came forward and carefully washed his body with the clear, refreshing spring water to cleanse him of the dirt.

Clan chief Shi Yunfeng then ordered people to bring over dozens of pottery jars, which were then opened one by one.

Various strange little beasts and poisonous insects were poured into the cauldron from the jar. In an instant, the originally crystal clear spiritual water was dyed with colorful hues, with shimmering light darting about, and a strange and strong smell rose into the sky.

Shi Geng frowned slightly, feeling a sense of repulsion. The scene was far too stimulating and inexplicably unsettling.

But he gritted his teeth and endured it, suppressing his discomfort.

The spiritual spring inside the cauldron continued to boil and evaporate, and the medicinal liquid inside the cauldron became less and less, almost drying up.

Many ancient medicines, exotic insects, and the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts were thoroughly boiled into a thick paste, which became the baptismal medicine, specifically used to buffer the violent pain when the precious blood entered the body.

"Dismember the Suanni and infuse it with its precious blood!"

Shi Yunfeng gave a loud shout that shook the entire venue, conveying a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Several strong men rushed forward in response, wielding stone knives and bone blades, their movements incredibly swift and precise.

Although the Suanni was dead, its golden fur still shone brightly, and the true blood flowing between its bones was as dazzling as liquid gold.

"Pfft—"

The bone blade suddenly pierced through the gap, tearing through the flesh with a snap.

The scalding hot blood of the Suanni gushed out instantly; it had been dead for half a month, yet its blood still hadn't coagulated.

Several clan elders, wielding silver utensils, vied to draw its true blood, while clan leader Shi Yunfeng personally wielded a runic jade blade and ripped open the Suanni's chest.

A heart the size of a washbasin was clearly visible, with crimson gold patterns running through it.

The old patriarch dared not delay for even a moment. Holding the scalding hot Suanni heart in his palm, he threw it directly into the ancient black cauldron, fearing that the slightest hesitation would waste even a trace of its divine radiance.

He then raised his head and roared, his voice echoing throughout Stone Village: "Infuse precious blood!"

The precious blood poured into the ancient, black cauldron with a roar.

"Buzz—!"

The moment the precious blood entered the cauldron, the previously dormant medicinal paste suddenly exploded!

Golden light soared into the sky, auspicious clouds stretched out, and the entire black cauldron hummed softly. The ancient patterns of the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, and sacrifices on the cauldron seemed to come alive, flowing with mysterious and unpredictable ancient Taoist charm.

The viscous medicinal liquid was completely ignited and melted by the precious blood, turning into a pool of golden liquid, its medicinal power surging and terrifying.

In the void, a golden lion phantom faintly appeared, its ferocious power overwhelming. It roared to the sky, seemingly able to swallow the sun and moon, causing all the stars in the sky to tremble!

The mere spread of its aura caused the people of Stone Village around it to breathe rapidly and feel their blood churning.

Shi Yunfeng gazed at the strange phenomenon within the cauldron, a look of solemnity and anticipation appearing on his aged face. He said in a deep voice, "The precious elixir is ready. Little Gen, Little One, prepare to enter the cauldron!"

Shi Geng took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.
