"We don't want to break our promise either, but we really have no choice," Bird Master echoed.
"You two don't think I'm a fool, do you? You are the guardians of the Void God Realm, how could you possibly be unable to retrieve such a precious technique? Today, I must see the Ten Fierce Techniques, otherwise, I will not let this go. I have already collected and repaired the ancient lamps, this is what you owe me." Shi Yi's words were sharp, making Bird Master and Master Jingbi even more embarrassed.
Afterwards, they huddled together, whispering and discussing solutions.
“He definitely won’t believe us just by talking. We might as well take him there and let him see for himself.”
"Is this a good idea? That place is of utmost importance and cannot be lost."
“He is a native genius cultivator from the lower realm, so there shouldn’t be any problem. Moreover, there’s a saying that this place was specifically left behind in the hope of nurturing the strongest being in the history of a certain realm. I think Xuan Yi has a good chance.”
"That's right. With his current strength, the challenges after the Beast Prison are not very meaningful to him. If he could hone his skills there, he might really be able to cultivate a peerless powerhouse who would shake the ancient history."
The two old men were discussing their business as if no one else was around, until Bird Grandpa noticed out of the corner of his eye that the five-colored bird feathers on his shoulder were standing on end, as if he had seen something terrifying. He turned his head and saw a Tai Chi mask without any holes right in front of him, hanging between him and Grandpa Jingbi.
"Gentlemen, you are right. I am the peerless hero who shook the ancient history."
Chapter 96 Ten Evil Techniques
Bird Master and Jingbi Grandpa were startled, feeling a chill run down their spines.
"How come you walk so silently, like a ghost?" Grandpa Jingbi's dignified and otherworldly demeanor had vanished.
He was really scared.
In the Cave Heaven Realm, he and Bird Master were considered strong. Suppressing those pure-blooded cubs from the ancient divine mountains was not difficult for them, but Shi Yi could approach silently without them noticing.
This is enough to demonstrate Shi Yi's extraordinary abilities.
"Your battle record is indeed impressive, but currently, you are only far beyond ordinary people in the Blood Removal and Cave Heaven realms."
Throughout history, there have been many creatures that were fierce in their early stages, with their potential bursting forth, but in the middle and later stages, their potential was exhausted, and they became just ordinary people. "The bird master spoke leisurely.
"I don't care about any of that. The complete ancient lamp is here. I only want the Ten Fierce Treasures Technique," Shi Yi replied.
He's only at the Cave Heaven Realm right now, so discussing the future isn't really meaningful for him.
Seeing that Shi Yi was determined to exchange for the Ten Fierce Treasures Technique, Bird Master and Master Jingbi exchanged a glance and could only sigh helplessly.
“Alright, the Ten Fierce Treasures are located in a forbidden area within the Void God Realm. For some reason, they cannot be retrieved. If you don’t believe me, I can only take you there so you can see for yourself,” said Bird Master.
Shi Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed where the two were going to take him. He nodded and followed behind them.
Following a secret path, the three ascended into the sky, breaking through layers of clouds and mist, crossing ancient roads, and arriving at a vast and boundless chaotic region.
A bluestone path stretched out in the void. Bird Master and Jingbi Grandpa stepped onto this bluestone path, with Shi Yi following closely behind.
They walked all the way to the end.
Suddenly, something appeared in front of them: a huge ancient palace with cages inside.
The ancient hall was dark and eerie, exuding a chilling aura of darkness, like a colossal dark beast crouching there, ready to devour everything in an instant.
Bird Master and Jingbi Grandpa waved their hands, signaling Shi Yi to stop.
"See that? This is the ultimate trial ground we told you about before." Grandpa Jingbi pointed to the dark hall in front of him and said with a solemn expression.
"Where is the treasure technique? Is it in the Dark Hall?" Shi Yi was a pragmatist; at this moment, all he wanted was the reward and to obtain the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques that he deserved.
Bird Master and Master Jingbi weren't surprised; after all, it was one of the Ten Fierce Treasures, and who wouldn't want to obtain it?
"Yes, it is in the Dark Hall. Originally, the precious bones containing the Ten Ferocious Techniques had the effect of suppressing and purifying the dark aura. Unfortunately, as time went by, the great array formed by the precious bones was eroded by the suppressed creatures, and even the precious bones interwoven with runes were broken into two pieces."
That's why we've become lost and forgotten our mission," Bird replied.
As they spoke, they approached the dark hall, which was very dark, but they could still make out some stone statues, ancient and mysterious, many of which were cracked and covered in dust.
However, each stone statue was bound with rings of divine chains of order, all formed from spiritual power and representing supreme rules. A faint black mist emanated from the statues, and a demonic power swirled around them, making them quite intimidating.
Shi Yi stared directly at it with his double pupils, and in an instant, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by some kind of prehistoric beast, and froze on the spot.
Despite his immense power and ability to travel far beyond the Cave Heaven Realm, he still appeared far too naive in the face of such a terrifyingly powerful dark being.
The stone statues are the primordial spirits of the Dark Immortal King, while the earthenware jars placed on the altars behind the Dark Palace are the primordial spirits of True Immortals, Supreme Beings, and other beings, known as War Generals and War Commanders, all of whom have extremely great origins.
Even if Shi Yi opens the Forbidden Sea of Bitterness, he is no match for these beings; that is inevitable.
It should be noted that he cultivated in the harsh and desolate environment of the lower realm, so his cultivation was incomplete. In addition, his combat instincts were like dust compared to the bright moon when compared to these old immortals. Even if he could use his double pupils to narrow the gap, it would most likely be of no use.
Shi Yi has a very clear understanding of this.
It seems that to truly hone oneself in this so-called ultimate trial ground, one must at least reach the level of "Severing Myself" or "Escape from the One" before it becomes possible.
The two talisman bones that record the Ten Evil Techniques are suspended in the dark hall and the altar, respectively.
There, the flames were fiery and dazzling, like two phoenixes soaring through the darkness, releasing the power of rebirth and purifying the darkness.
To obtain the treasure, one must evade the attacks of the four stone statues. This is only the first step. If successful, one will obtain half of the Ten Fierce Treasures. The other half requires crossing the Dark Hall and fighting one's way into the altar and the location of the earthenware pot.
Taking two sections of the rune-inscribed bone in front of so many terrifying beings is by no means an easy task; it's practically a pipe dream, impossible.
That's why Bird Master and Master Jingbi were at a loss and couldn't use the Ten Fierce Treasures Technique.
Gazing at the True Phoenix Rune Bone, which was so close yet incredibly dangerous, Shi Yi fell into deep thought.
Why give up now and wait until you have achieved success in your cultivation and expanded your own path before trying to seize the technique again?
Shi Yi did not want things to turn out this way.
The True Phoenix Treasure Technique provides unparalleled enhancement to vitality. With this treasure technique, Shi Yi will be more confident and composed when fighting his enemies.
"Give up. There will definitely be other opportunities in the future. There's no need to rush," Bird Master advised.
He and Grandpa Jingbi were deeply aware of the terror of this place. Even though Shi Yi was now very powerful, having single-handedly swept through the blessed lands of the six ancient families and made the venerable ones of the sacred mountains and lands submit and willingly offer cultivation resources to resolve karmic ties, he still could not break through this place.
In their expectations, Shi Yi might not even be able to withstand a single blow from the stone statue and would collapse instantly.
"Yes, as long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn. The treasure is right here; it can't escape. When we're strong enough, we can just come and take it." Master Jingbi chimed in.
"You can try fighting the stone statues in the hall, keeping a safe distance, to hone your combat instincts. As for taking the bones, don't think about it for now," Bird Master said again.
The two men thought that by bringing Shi Yi here and letting him see the difficulty of obtaining the Ten Fierce Treasures Technique, he would give up. However, the result was beyond their expectations.
After a long silence, Shi Yi finally spoke.
"I want to give it a try."
Upon hearing this, the two old men were quite frightened. This was the Dark Hall, and the entire Void God Realm was established to guard this place and suppress those stone statues and earthenware jars. Shi Yi, a native cave dweller from the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, actually wanted to challenge these monstrous beings. This was tantamount to courting death.
It should be noted that these Immortal Kings and True Immortals are beings who have surpassed the ultimate in each cultivation realm, beyond what Shi Yi can currently imagine.
"Xuan Yi, have you gone mad?"
"This isn't how you court death. Do you think your years of cultivation can compare to those ancient beings who have cultivated for countless years?"
The two old men tried to dissuade him, not wanting to see such an invincible seedling perish here.
However, Shi Yi ignored this and simply said, "You two don't need to worry, I'm quite confident."
Indeed, in terms of combat strength, I am inferior to them. However, in other aspects, I may not be inferior. Even if they surpass the extreme realm, they are still ultimately within the realm of the Cave Heaven. This is my opportunity.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Bird Master and Master Jingbi could only sigh helplessly.
"I'm starting to regret bringing you here. You've achieved so much at such a young age. As long as you don't die prematurely, you'll definitely have a place among the strongest in the future," Bird sighed.
Shi Yi did not respond, but simply smiled faintly.
Without saying a word, he immediately activated his purple internal organs, causing his blood and spirit to circulate rapidly. His double pupils shone brightly, as dazzling as stars, and above his head, ten enormous stars appeared, connecting to form a brilliant starry ring.
Faintly, one could hear the sound of the ocean crashing, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
In a very short time, Shi Yi pushed himself to his peak performance.
Facing the primordial spirits of Immortal Kings and True Immortals, he dared not be careless in the slightest and used all his strength from the very beginning.
Bird Master and Master Jingbi looked solemn; judging from Xuan Yi's expression, he was serious.
"Be careful," the two couldn't help but warn.
Shi Yi nodded.
Then he began to try it.
The reason why Shi Yi risked obtaining the True Phoenix Bone despite being unable to defeat these dark creatures was because he possessed abilities such as double pupils, extreme speed, and the concepts of cause and effect and destiny.
With these abilities combined, they might actually help Shi Yi carve out a path and obtain the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques.
Without hesitation, his eyes shone brightly, countless symbols interwoven within them, bursting forth with astonishing divine light, like two bright lamps in the darkness, deducing all sorts of possible futures.
At the same time, Shi Yi used a secret technique related to cause and effect to prevent his enemies from locking onto him.
Immediately afterwards, he activated a secret technique related to fate. In the darkness, a power surrounded Shi Yi, helping him to avoid misfortune and attract good fortune.
Shrink to an inch!
Shi Yi used his extraordinary escape technique without hesitation, transforming into a humanoid lightning bolt and charging towards the Dark Hall.
Before even truly stepping into the realm of the Dark Hall, a chilling pressure emanated from within.
"Crash!"
The chains of order began to tremble, and one of the stone statues made its move, extending a large, dark hand that reached out to grab Shi Yi.
In an instant, the sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, the space around Shi Yi froze, and his speed suddenly decreased.
Is this really the power of the Cave Heaven Realm? It's far too terrifying. Even someone as strong as Shi Yi couldn't help but gasp in shock.
As expected of the Dark Immortal King, even when his realm is compressed to the Cave Heaven Domain, he is still so powerful that it inspires despair.
Shi Yi erupted, his entire body bursting with purple light.
The next moment, a humanoid purple Qilin appeared, forcefully breaking free from the terrifying pressure brought by the dark giant hand. Thousands of runes appeared under its feet, and purple light surged as it took the Qilin Step.
"boom!"
With a single palm strike, the entire Dark Hall trembled three times. Shi Yi dodged the attack using the Qilin Step and Double Pupils.
He gave a soft shout and rushed towards the very center of the Dark Hall, where the precious bone woven from the True Phoenix runes floated.
"Hurrah!"
A series of clanging chains rang out as the other three stone statues in the dark hall attacked simultaneously.
Three massive, dark hands swept over, forming an impenetrable net that left Shi Yi with nowhere to escape.
His expression changed slightly, but he did not panic. The more critical the moment, the more he needed to remain calm in order to find a glimmer of hope.
Shi Yi used all his strength to unleash the secret technique of cause and effect to break free from the lock of those stone statues. Even if he couldn't completely sever the connection, he wanted to weaken it. Then, he did his best to use the secret technique of fate. During this process, his double pupils were also operating frantically, trying to find a way out of the encirclement of the three giant hands.
"It's over!"
Bird Master and Jingbi Grandpa were so engrossed in watching that their hearts nearly jumped out of their chests, and they couldn't help but sigh.
"boom!"
"boom!"
……
After three loud bangs, dust billowed in the dark hall, and the ground cracked open.
The imagined scene of Shi Yi being slapped until his body was cracked did not occur; he narrowly escaped thanks to a secret technique.
The first stone statue attacked again, but Shi Yi still didn't confront it head-on. Instead, he used the Qilin Step to break through the statue's blockade like a butterfly flitting through flowers.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Phoenix Bone. Without hesitation, Shi Yi grabbed the Phoenix Bone and left.
Behind him, four dark hands arrived simultaneously. After Shi Yi escaped unscathed once, the four Dark Immortal Kings were not to be underestimated. Their attacks became even more terrifying, leaving Shi Yi with no way to avoid them.
"puff!"
In the end, Shi Yi was struck by the palm, his whole body trembled violently, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He dared not linger and rushed into the altar behind the dark hall.
"Bang!"
As soon as Shi Yi entered the place, the earthenware pots began to boil, and a large, blood-red hand reached out from them to grab Shi Yi.
He used techniques such as double pupils, the Qilin Step, cause and effect, and destiny to maneuver among the countless palms, trying his best to evade them.
Because there were too many earthenware pots, Shi Yi had to endure several blows before he could reach the second talisman bone.
Ignoring his injuries, he quickly put away the second True Phoenix Bone and turned to fight against the blood-red palms raining down from the sky.
"boom!"
