Xuan Yi's ambition is truly admirable.

"Gentlemen, you said before that if I could pass through the Beast Prison, you would give me a tremendous reward." Shi Yi asked the two guardians of the Void God Realm directly.

Bird Master and Master Jingbi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we keep our word and you'll get plenty of benefits. However, we need to return to the Void God Realm first."

The Beast Prison is a lawless place on the edge of the Void God Realm. Being thrown into it is a death sentence. Shi Yi is the only one in history who has managed to break through it.

The three people and one bird returned to the realm of the Void Gods along the old road.

The moment Shi Yi stepped into the Realm of the Void Gods, a dazzling divine light descended from the sky. Then, a rain of divine light poured down, enveloping Shi Yi. The Recording Stele slowly appeared. At the same time, from within the divine light in the sky, several luminous objects fell down and came before Shi Yi.

Fragments of the Primordial Treasure Book and Divine Gold!

This time, they gave me five dollars at once.

Including the three pieces he had obtained earlier, Shi Yi now possessed eight fragments of the Primordial Treasure Book Divine Gold. When pieced together, they formed a faint ancient lamp, but he was still missing two pieces.

"How about it, are you surprised? A one-time reward of five fragments of ancient treasure techniques—such a grand reward is unprecedented in history. Xuan Yi, you are the first to receive this, and your name will be etched in history." Bird Master said with a smile.

Grandpa Jingbi also offered his congratulations.

However, Shi Yi's words brought their smiles to an abrupt end.

"That's it?"

He thought that if he made up all ten coins at once, he would be rewarded with a complete set of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques. Who would have thought that he only managed to collect eight coins, which left Shi Yi speechless.

"Cough cough... Five yuan is already quite outrageous," Bird replied, coughing.

"Don't worry, this is only part of the benefits. Once you've cleared the Beast Prison, you can start the next stage of the trial," Grandpa Jingbi reassured him.

"The next stage?"

Shi Yi's eyes lit up.

Seeing his reaction, Bird Master advised, "You are indeed qualified to begin the next stage of the trial, but I advise you not to rush."

Your breakthrough in the Realm of the Gods is significant enough; it's time to return to the real world and materialize the Dao Fruit you've gained.

One of the purposes of establishing the Realm of the Gods is to provide a platform for all beings to compete and cultivate, but we must not put the cart before the horse; the real world is the true reality.

When a monk's spirit and body are separated for too long, serious problems will arise.

Shi Yi nodded. He naturally understood this principle. He should indeed return to the real world for a while and could not stay in the Virtual God Realm forever, relying on it.

"I see."

After he finished speaking, he carved some words on the record tablet. Then, the strange phenomenon disappeared, and the place returned to peace.

However, the Realm of the Void Gods could no longer remain peaceful.

A sudden news report about breaking a record swept through, once again stirring up huge waves in the long-silent Void God Realm and the Desolate Land.

"Xuan Yi, the first person in history to successfully pass the Beast Prison."

These few words shocked all living beings in the Realm of the Void Gods to an unbearable degree; everyone froze, stunned on the spot.

An uproar erupted within the blessed lands controlled by ancient human kingdoms, aristocratic families, and ancient Taoist traditions, as well as the vast divine lands governed by the Primordial Divine Mountain.

In the beginning, news about Xuan Yi spread like wildfire, and all cultivators were excitedly discussing everything about this being.

He hadn't appeared for a year and a half. Everyone thought that this extraordinary genius of the Xuan Domain had fallen like a comet, suppressed by his enemies and never to emerge again. Who would have thought that he would go to the Beast Prison, a place that terrified everyone, and become the first creature in history to break out of the Beast Prison.

Beast Prison, what kind of place is that? Throughout history, cultivators who committed grave errors in the Realm of the Void Gods were thrown into Beast Prison and all of them died without exception. It is a synonym for death, a nightmare that no cultivator can shake off.

Now, Shi Yi has shattered this view; it turns out that the Beast Prison can indeed be overcome.

"Xuan Yi actually fought his way out of the hellish Beast Prison. It's hard to imagine what kind of trials he went through."

Just how powerful is he now? How far has he grown? People can't help but wonder.

Upon hearing this news, all the elders in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion were shocked, their eyes widening in disbelief.

"Xuan Yi, after a year and a half of silence, shocked the entire desolate region the moment he appeared. How many people in the world can be such a genius?" Tao Ye exclaimed in admiration.

For the past year and a half, he had been constantly worried about Xuan Yi's safety. He even went to the foot of the Pavilion Master's Peak in the real world to try to find out about Xuan Yi's situation. However, he was turned away by the Pavilion Master and told to tell the other elders not to investigate Xuan Yi's situation.

From then on, Xuan Yi's fate became a mystery.

Seeing Xuan Yi once again shock the Void God Realm, he finally felt relieved.

At the Martial King's Mansion, a group of young prodigies and elders sighed softly. If their clan's prodigy were to return, he would be no less than Xuan Yi. However, Shi Yi had been gone for two and a half years and had not returned. They wondered how he was doing at Demon Spirit Lake.

"After two and a half years of cultivation, Brother Yi should have already reached the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm, right?" a core disciple of the Martial King's Mansion optimistically estimated.

Only the true high-ranking members of the Wu King's Mansion knew that Shi Yi had met with an accident, which filled them with sorrow.

At this moment, in the Realm of the Void Gods, the only ones with ugly expressions and gloomy eyes were the ancient families and the Primordial Divine Mountain, who were enemies of Shi Yi.

Their worst fears came true: Xuan Yi did not die, but instead accomplished something extraordinary in a year and a half—he broke through the Beast Prison.

One can imagine how powerful Xuan Yi is now. He is no longer the helpless San Dong Tian of a year and a half ago. They missed the best time to suppress Xuan Yi.

Although there are still spirit transformations, inscriptions, and formations behind the cave heavens, the blessed lands in the cave heaven realm area are no longer safe. They are certain that, given Xuan Yi's personality, he will not let go of the grudge from the previous invitation curse and may very well come to kill them immediately.

Thinking of this, the ancient families such as Tuoba and the ancient sacred mountains such as Luanshan felt uneasy and had a sense of urgency.

"It's alright. We're not afraid of him coming to kill us. We're just afraid he won't come. If we join forces and unleash our full power, we'll wait for him to walk right into our trap." An elder from the Tuoba family spoke quietly, communicating with the elders of other ancient families.

“Our clan has already made contact with those ancient sacred mountains. All the beings on those mountains are interested in Xuan Yi. They have a feud in the initial land, and a battle is inevitable sooner or later. If they join forces with us, we will have a better chance of winning.”

"Hehe, it's not just those few sacred mountains that have designs on Xuan Yi; there are several others as well. They are enemies of the Ancient Pure Land, and since Xuan Yi is a disciple of the Ancient Pure Land and comes from the Xuan Domain, they have long wanted to suppress him. They just need an opportunity," someone said with a sneer.

Several ancient families united, and several ancient sacred mountains joined forces to create an inescapable trap for Shi Yi.

This time was different from the past. They brought out the clan's most precious treasure, something they would only use when the clan faced a life-or-death calamity. Now, in order to suppress Xuan Yi, they did not hesitate to take it out.

Xuan Yi's achievements were simply too astonishing, exceeding their imagination and making them sense a crisis.

"What do you plan to do? Return to the real world or..." Bird asked.

“Those ancient families and ancient sacred mountains are not to be trifled with. If you attack them now, you might be able to show off your courage for a while, but the final result will not be good. They are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Every force is related to the gods and their foundations are terrifying,” Grandpa Jingbi kindly reminded him.

The five-colored bird stopped preening its feathers and looked towards the fierce man.

Shi Yi glanced at them and calmly replied, "You're overthinking it. At this stage, I have no intention of causing them any trouble."

"If I go there now, I'll likely be met with an overwhelming barrage of divine artifacts and decrees. No matter how powerful I am, I'll be defeated there. I'm not that stupid to go and die."

"Uh……"

"So you knew all along. We were worried for nothing." Grandpa Jingbi breathed a sigh of relief.

They had finally produced a peerless genius in the lower realm, and they didn't want to see him die young.

"The two old gentlemen have been very concerned."

"A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. It won't be too late for me to sweep past them once I reach the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm and stand at the pinnacle of power," Shi Yi said calmly.

"That's the best that you think that way." Bird Master, Jingbi, and Five-Colored Bird breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they talked about the Ten Heavenly Caves, revealing many secrets of this realm.

“Xuanyi, remember this: once you have the opportunity to advance to the Tenth Heaven, you must not miss it. Once you lose this opportunity, you will never have it again and will never be able to reach this realm again. With your talent, it would be a great pity if you could not reach the Tenth Heaven.”

"Breaking into the Tenth Heaven Realm requires a large amount of essence and divine power. We must prepare in advance to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

……

Their incessant reminders, though all of them were things Shi Yi already knew, did not annoy him. He responded to each one, knowing it was well-intentioned.

Finally, Shi Yi bid farewell to Bird Master and Jingbi Grandpa, leaving behind a message before departing.

"Gentlemen, ten fragments of divine gold are nothing to me. I can complete them in no time. When that happens, I hope the reward will be a complete Ten Fierce Treasure Technique. Other treasure techniques are also acceptable, but they cannot be weaker than the Ten Fierce Treasure Technique."

After saying that, Shi Yi's figure disappeared into the virtual god realm. A year and a half later, his spirit finally left this place and returned to his physical body in the real world.

Only Bird Master and Master Jingbi remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"This kid seems to be getting a little cocky, he's even making demands."

"Forget it, he has the qualifications. If you were thrown into that Beast Prison, do you think you could come out?"

"I would definitely die in there now, but if I were in my prime, what would a mere Beast Prison be?"

……

In the ancient Pure Land, atop the majestic Pavilion Peak, in a side hall, Shi Yi suddenly opened his eyes, which shone brightly with intense beams of light shooting out—a sign of his successful cultivation.

In an instant, the cultivation achievements of the illusory divine realm descended into the spirit and body of the real world.

Nine star-shaped grottoes emerged, refining endless creations of heaven and earth, which flowed into Shi Yi's body, making him extremely powerful at this moment.

Shi Yi tried to get up, but his legs felt sluggish.

He was slightly taken aback. It was true that having one's spirit separated from one's body for too long had an effect, and in the long run, it would be detrimental to one's future path of cultivation.

The decision to return to the real world was the right one. Shi Yi exerted his strength again, stood up, and began to familiarize himself with his physical body.

It was, after all, my own physical body, and the feeling disappeared in no time. However, it would take some effort to completely eliminate the effects.

Just as Shi Yi was stretching his physical body and consolidating the Dao Fruit he had gained in the Void God Realm, a faint voice rang out and reached Shi Yi's ears.

He immediately stopped what he was doing, stepped out of the side hall, and came into the main hall.

"Disciple greets the Pavilion Master."

The Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion nodded, his gaze towards Shi Yi filled with admiration.

"Nine Heavens, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion hasn't produced a genius of this caliber in a long time. You're quite good."

He continued, "I know everything about the Realm of the Void Gods. And now, you have quite a few enemies."

"Your Excellency is wise; this disciple had no other choice," Shi Yi replied.

"What are you planning to do next? Staying in the Void God Realm to cultivate for a long time is not a solution," the Pavilion Master asked.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi pondered deeply. He had considered this question before. It was impossible for him to stay in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and meditate in asceticism. Among the beings of the same level in the Ancient Pure Land, he could not find any opponents. The only ones who could fight him were the older generation. Such friendly sparring would not be as helpful as a life-or-death battle.

Therefore, Shi Yi had the intention to leave temporarily, as he urgently needed a place to rise rapidly.

Leaving the Desolate Domain for the Profound Domain? This path is not stable. The Heaven-Mending Pavilion has many enemies, and crossing domains cannot be hidden from their eyes. If he relies on the Heaven-Mending Pavilion to cross the domain to the Profound Domain, he will probably be suppressed as soon as he lands.

After thinking for a long time, a whole bunch of ideas suddenly popped into his mind.

"Sect Master, I wish to go to the Battlefield of the Hundred Races."

Chapter 79 Entering the battle

"A battlefield of a hundred races?"

Upon hearing Shi Yi's plan, the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion was slightly taken aback.

Are you sure you want to go there?

Shi Yi nodded.

Now he desperately needs a harsh real-world place to hone himself, and after much thought, no place is more suitable for him than the Battlefield of a Hundred Races.

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master's eyes flickered, and in an instant, many thoughts came to mind.

Shi Yi noticed the Pavilion Master's unusual behavior, and after a moment's thought, he understood the reason.

The Butian Pavilion, also known as the Ancient Pure Land, was created by a former disciple of the Butian Sect from the Upper Realm in ancient times.

Since he comes from the upper realm and is a core disciple of the Heaven-Mending Sect, he must know about the exploitation and control that powerful forces in the upper realm exert over the lower realm.

The so-called Battlefield of a Hundred Races is a landmark place where the upper realm rules over the lower realm.

From the moment it appeared until now, any prodigy who achieved consecutive victories on the battlefield of the Hundred Races, overcame all obstacles, and fought their way to the end, after going to the Upper Realm, either became an ancient beast guarding the mountain gate of the Great Dao lineage, or a mount or a disciple of a powerful figure. Without exception, they all became slaves and lost their freedom.

It was a complete scam from beginning to end, and only the beings of the lower realms were kept in the dark, flocking to it like moths to a flame.

The abandoned disciple of the Upper Realm's Heaven-Mending Sect, who is also the founder of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion in the Desolate Region, knows this secret, but cannot make it public because it involves too many powerful forces in the Upper Realm. Therefore, he can only leave a few words in the teachings to warn the younger generation of disciples and successors of the Pure Land.

As the current head of the Butian Pavilion, he naturally knew these secrets. Therefore, when he learned that Shi Yi wanted to go to the battlefield of the Hundred Races, he had many concerns.

"If it's just about honing your skills, it's a good place. However, once you get there, you'll find yourself surrounded by formidable enemies and fraught with danger, making it difficult for ordinary people to survive."

"If you have other purposes and want to use the Hundred Races Battlefield to go to another world, then I advise you to give up this dangerous idea. This is a warning left by our ancestors." The Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion said earnestly.

Shi Yi nodded; the Pavilion Master's words were exactly what he had expected.

"This disciple simply wants to go there to hone his skills."

The pavilion master nodded.
