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

"Little Gen, little one, hurry up and enter the cauldron! The baptism begins!"

Shi Yunfeng shouted loudly, and then threw the true blood of the Demon Ape and the true blood of the Fire Demon Ox into the cauldron.

He feared that the divine nature of the Suanni alone would not be enough to support the baptism of both of them at the same time, so he offered up the true blood of the other two ancient lineages at the same time.

Shi Gen and Xiao Budian exchanged a glance, both seeing burning anticipation in each other's eyes.

Without further hesitation, the two leaped into the black cauldron bubbling with immense medicinal power.

The precious liquid inside the cauldron churned endlessly, and the three kinds of primordial blood collided and merged within the cauldron, transforming into torrents of violent power.

As soon as Shi Gen and Xiao Budian fell in, they were enveloped by the terrifying medicinal power.

The excruciating pain swept over my entire body like a tidal wave, as if all my bones and muscles were being torn apart and rebuilt, my pores were being forcibly stretched open, and my internal organs were trembling.

The little one gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, and his whole body trembled slightly, but he still held on stubbornly, refusing to back down even an inch.

Shi Geng also let out a muffled groan, feeling as if his whole body was about to melt away.

Even in this extreme pain, he could clearly feel the true blood of the ancient remnant flowing through his meridians, being frantically refined, absorbed, and purified.

The thunderous ferocity of the Suanni, the domineering brute force of the Demon Ape, and the blazing true blood of the Fire Demon Bull were all systematically fused together within his body.

His bones shone with a dazzling golden light, his flesh grew stronger at a visible speed, and beastly shadows roamed beneath his skin, forcibly expelling streams of dark, foul-smelling impurities from his body.

"Sealing the cauldron!"

With a loud shout from the clan chief Shi Yunfeng, before he could finish speaking, several strong men from Shi Village had already prepared the heavy lid of the cauldron and slammed it down on the ancient black cauldron.

"Thump—!"

A deafening roar shook the earth as the cauldron lid slammed shut, its ancient patterns emanating a faint Daoist aura that locked the overflowing medicinal essence and the radiance of true blood within its walls.

Outside the cauldron, smoke and dust billowed, and the brilliance was concealed.

Inside the cauldron, Shi Gen and Xiao Budian were at the peak of their baptism.

Shi Gen slowly assumed the stance of the Yundao Fist, and his aura solidified.

The three ancient blood vessels that were originally raging wildly within the body instantly transformed into a gentle torrent, gradually merging into the bone marrow, meridians, and flesh at an incredible speed.

The divine essence of the Suanni cleansed his physical body, while the true blood of the Demon Ape tempered his muscles and bones, making his physique as solid as divine metal, indestructible; the true blood of the Fire Demon Bull ignited his blood, making his power as intense as a wildfire, surging endlessly.

The three elements merged and refined within his body, transforming into a sky full of rosy clouds and divine light.

Each drop of his blood transformed into an ancient rune, like an eternal furnace, radiating boundless divine light and nourishing himself day and night.

At this moment, every pore on his body opened up, and every drop of his blood carried a wisp of divinity, exhaling divine light. It was as if a group of young gods were sitting cross-legged inside him, and with each breath, he could influence the laws of heaven and earth.

His entire body radiated brilliant divine light, with countless points of light raining down, as if endless deities were chanting, reciting scriptures, and shining within him. The divine sounds lingered, soaring into the sky and illuminating the entire blue expanse.

If he were to open his eyes at this moment, they would surely be filled with golden rays soaring into the sky, displaying divine might!

On the other side of the cauldron, Little One, with his extraordinary physique, was also stubbornly digesting the medicinal power.

Compared to Shi Geng's incredible absorption speed, he seemed to be struggling much. His small forehead was covered in sweat, but he gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound.

Beneath the lid of the cauldron, radiance flows, and time flies like an arrow.

This baptism lasted for a full three days.

At the exact moment the three days were completed, an intensely rich golden light, like a bursting dam, suddenly erupted from the cauldron, violently lifting the heavy lid and soaring into the sky, dyeing the entire stone village a brilliant gold.

The moment the cauldron lid lifted into the air, a divine radiance shot up first, and it was Shi Gen.

His skin was as white as mutton fat jade, with golden beast shadows faintly moving beneath it. With each breath, he caused the wind and clouds to tremble slightly, and his aura was no longer what it used to be.

Shi Yunfeng's aged body trembled slightly. He suppressed his excitement and stared intently at Shi Geng: "How are you? How do you feel?"

Shi Geng leaped from the precious liquid and landed lightly.

Golden light swirled around him like stars, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a faint glow flowed down his tender arm.

At this moment, although he still looks like that innocent child, his unfathomable depth makes every member of the Stone Village clan present feel a chill in their heart.

The next moment, Shi Geng raised his hand and gently wiped away the last trace of water vapor from his body. The movement was unremarkable, as if he had just finished a normal bath.

He even looked down at his palm, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before turning to the clan chief with a gentle smile: "Grandpa Clan Chief, the precious blood... seems to be easier to digest than I expected."

The room fell silent as soon as he said that.

What does "easier to digest" mean?

This is a fusion of the true blood of three ancient species, and countless other ferocious beasts' true blood was added during the process.

It would be a miracle for an ordinary person to survive, yet he speaks of it so casually.

The little one watched in stunned silence, wiped the sweat from his face, cautiously approached, tugged at Shi Geng's sleeve, and whispered, "Shi Geng... you're amazing, I almost couldn't hold on..."

Shi Geng looked down at him, a flash of golden light in his eyes, and gently patted the little boy's shoulder, smiling, "You're also very capable, able to digest so many precious medicinal liquids."

He quietly felt the surging power within him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

This baptism caused his strength to surge once again. With a flick of his hand, he possessed 60,000 jin of divine strength! Not only that, he could also feel that a lot of precious liquid remained in his body, and his potential had also increased significantly. Next, his strength would enter a stage of rapid growth.

Once the thought was settled, Shi Geng simply raised his hand, and the divine radiance instantly vanished. His terrifying divine power was hidden deep within his flesh and blood, revealing no sharpness whatsoever, making him look no different from an ordinary child.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by.

Shi Geng's cheeks flushed slightly, and with a swift movement of his feet, his figure instantly transformed into a golden lightning bolt, hurtling towards the ground.

He grabbed his clothes and dressed in the blink of an eye, his movements swift and efficient.

The little one suddenly realized that he was naked, and his face immediately turned red. He hurriedly grabbed his clothes and put them on.

The surrounding villagers all gathered around with smiles, chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.

Looking at the two transformed individuals, everyone couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch them, curiously observing the astonishing changes brought about by this transformation.

"Tsk tsk, this body is as sturdy as refined iron!"

"Look at that complexion! The difference after being baptized with the true blood of an ancient remnant is truly remarkable!"

"Our Stone Village is about to produce some great figures!"

Shi Geng felt a little uncomfortable being touched by everyone, but he didn't dodge. He just stood there gently, letting the villagers look him over.

He completely concealed his terrifying divine power, appearing as humble and polite as ever. The little one, on the other hand, was amused and giggled, his little face flushed and full of vitality.

For a time, the sky above Shicun was filled with laughter and joy.

This transformation not only reshaped the two boys, but also allowed the entire Stone Village to see a bright future for the village.
