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

At dawn, white mist lingered in the vast mountains and forests, creating a hazy, dreamlike scene. Suddenly, a streak of crimson light pierced through the mountain peaks on the horizon. The rising sun broke through the sea of ​​clouds and slowly ascended, its warm golden light spreading across the earth, dyeing the morning mist with a shimmering hue. The flowing rosy clouds created a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The villagers of Shicun had already gotten up early. A group of children practiced the Hundred Beasts Fist against the backdrop of the rising sun, breathing in the pure essence of heaven and earth. Each of them was strong and healthy, full of energy, and their agile figures were comparable to those of ferocious beast cubs, full of vigor.

Shi Geng sat quietly under the willow tree, silently gazing at the bustling scene before him, a touch of reluctance rising in his heart. He didn't know when he would be able to return to his homeland after this parting, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

The little one beside him had red eyes and was clutching his sleeve tightly. His little face was full of grievance and reluctance. He wanted to leave Stone Village with him and go to the wilderness to explore.

Shi Geng gently stroked the little one's head, his voice soft and patient as he comforted him, "Little one, I'm going out to gain experience and adventure, not to play. There will be plenty of dangers along the way. When you're a bit older and reach the limit of the Blood Transformation Realm, I'll take you with me to see the world, how about that?"

After hearing this, the little one hung his head, feeling wronged and reluctant, and sullenly lowered his head.

Seeing this, Shi Geng chuckled helplessly and coaxed softly, "Alright, I won't be gone for too long. When I come back, I'll definitely bring you some rich and rare top-grade beast milk."

Upon hearing this, the little one immediately raised his head, his big, dark eyes instantly brightening. Most of his previous grievances dissipated, and he nodded vigorously, whispering, "Then, Brother Geng, you must come back soon, and be careful on the road."

Shi Geng smiled and responded, his gaze sweeping over the familiar plants and trees in the village, suppressing all the emotions in his heart.

Before long, the clan chief Shi Yunfeng came over carrying a thick animal skin package, which was filled with dried meat of ferocious beasts, healing herbs, and simple bone weapons for self-defense. He stuffed it all into Shi Geng's hands.

"The journey is long and fraught with danger in the wilderness. Do not act recklessly while out there; always prioritize your own safety."

"I understand, Grandpa Clan Chief." Shi Geng bowed and thanked him solemnly.

The clansmen stepped forward to say goodbye, and the children also stood around waving goodbye.

Without lingering any longer, Shi Geng shouldered his pack, took one last deep look back at the peaceful and serene Stone Village, then turned and stepped into the vast wilderness shrouded in morning mist. His figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the rolling mountains and forests, officially embarking on his long journey of training.

A few clear eagle cries suddenly pierced the morning stillness from the horizon. Shi Geng looked up and saw a family of Azure-scaled Eagles stretching their powerful wings, circling in the clear sky, flapping their wings frequently, as if they had come especially to see him off.

Looking at the Azure Scaled Eagle family, Shi Geng smiled faintly, raised his hand and waved gently as a farewell.

Having done his part, he no longer lingered or looked back. Putting aside all his sorrow and longing, he strode firmly and steadily into the deep, desolate forest of the Great Wilderness, heading towards the wilderness.

The morning mist in the forest had not yet completely dissipated, and the grass and leaves were covered with glistening dewdrops, which sparkled in the light of the rising sun.

Shi Geng walked steadily through the dense forest, his 200,000 jin of powerful blood energy completely contained within his body, making him look no different from any other child in the Great Wilderness.

As you venture deeper into the heart of the mountains and forests, the surrounding scenery gradually becomes desolate. The sounds of children playing in the stone village are gone, replaced only by the howling of the wind through the forest and the faint growls of ferocious beasts echoing from the depths of the mountains.

The Great Wilderness is fraught with danger, with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts lurking in the shadows, and many unknown perilous places hidden within.

Shi Geng walked slowly with a calm gaze, taking in the surrounding environment and the terrain along the way.

He was not in a hurry to travel. This journey was partly to broaden his horizons and accumulate experience, and partly to seek opportunities and collect the essence of heaven and earth. At the same time, he was patiently waiting for the Heavenly Dao Stone to perfect the method of opening up the inner world.

Constrained by the incomplete laws of the lower realm, he has reached a bottleneck in the Blood Transfer Realm. Only by constantly tempering his mind and comprehending the Great Dao outside, and waiting for the day when his inner world cultivation method is formed, can he break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and embark on a different path to the cave heaven.

Reaching a high point, he stopped and turned to look in the direction of Stone Village, which was now hidden by layers of mountains and forests, with no trace of the village in sight.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Shi Geng withdrew his gaze, the reluctance fading from his eyes, leaving only a resolute edge. This time, he planned to travel 300,000 miles of the Great Wilderness Road for training. The journey was long and fraught with dangers, and walking alone would inevitably consume a lot of energy. If he had a suitable mount, he could save a lot of energy.

He looked toward the mountains and forests to the side, where a group of unicorns were leisurely wandering at the edge of his vision.

These strange beasts are handsome and gentle by nature. Their most outstanding feature is their extraordinary running speed. They are born with the ability to travel thousands of miles a day, making them perfect for traveling.

The unicorn is covered in shimmering white scales, and its limbs are strong and agile, allowing it to move with lightness and swiftness, without easily becoming exhausted even after long journeys. Moreover, this beast is peaceful in nature and easy to tame, requiring no great effort to subdue it.

Shi Geng lifted his foot lightly and walked towards the direction of the unicorn herd, intending to select a strong individual from among them as his mount for his travels through the Great Wilderness.

His gaze swept across the entire herd of beasts, and Shi Geng quickly locked onto his target.

This is a male unicorn, much larger than its kind, with a tall and majestic physique, and its fur has a bright luster, looking from afar like silver flames enveloping its body.

His limbs were long and strong, with full and smooth muscle lines, exuding abundant power. His eyes were clear and transparent like crystal, and a long horn stood upright on his forehead, with wisps of silver light flowing and swirling along the horn, revealing an extraordinary aura.

A hint of approval flashed in Shi Geng's eyes, and he said softly, "You're the one."

Noticing his gaze, the unicorn raised its head and looked over, exhaling a faint white breath from its nostrils. Instinctively, it became alert, its four hooves tensing slightly, and a faint silver light surging around its body as it assumed a defensive posture.

The other unicorns also stopped what they were doing and all looked in this direction, instantly creating a tense atmosphere within the troop.

Shi Geng did not release his fierce aura to disturb the beasts. He simply walked forward slowly, his powerful blood energy calmly contained, without any sense of oppression, just like a harmless child.

Shi Geng looked young, and his immense power was completely concealed, so he appeared to be just an ordinary teenager.

In addition, the friendly aura emanating from him blended seamlessly into the surrounding mountain and wild atmosphere, without a trace of ferocity or killing intent, so the beasts did not show any fear or intention to flee.

A group of unicorns stood silently in place, their clear eyes fixed on the approaching boy, filled with bewilderment and confusion. They scrutinized the human cub before them, unable to fathom his intentions as he drew closer.

The male beast chosen by Shi Geng tilted its head slightly, the silver light flowing from its single horn on its forehead softened, and its originally tense limbs gradually relaxed. However, it still stared at the newcomer warily, occasionally exhaling a wisp of white mist from its nostrils, showing more curiosity than vigilance.

Shi Geng slowed his pace, his expression calm, and slowly extended his palm towards the male beast. A gentle aura emanated from his fingertips, attempting to dispel the beast's last remaining defenses.
