Chapter 58

This is a magnificent building, permeated with spiritual energy, with a faint glow of treasures, and a cluster of palaces that seem to be built in the heavens, with auspicious beasts crouching and roaring, guarding the entrance.

"Father shot a young Pixiu with very pure bloodline, this... has caused a great disaster!" A young man with a commanding presence was pacing back and forth in the hall, extremely anxious.

In the mansion of a noble, misty light flowed, and rare birds sang in the sky above the palace, drawing dazzling streaks of light. The lake in the mansion was clear, with waterways connecting in all directions, stone mountains standing, lush trees, and vast gardens with beautiful scenery. This was a blessed land, overflowing with divine essence.

"I hope Father can quickly withdraw from the battlefield of the hundred clans." A beautiful woman holding a small baby, her brows deeply furrowed, with a worried expression.

"It's too late to say anything. The news has already reached the imperial capital. Shooting the young Pixiu must have happened many days ago. What should have happened has likely already happened." The young man clenched his fists, his brows furrowed, lightning appearing in his eyes, and thunder rumbling in the room.

The sleeping baby opened his pure big eyes, not understanding what was happening.

"Don't scare the child." The beautiful woman said.

"These past few days have been too agonizing, I've neglected Hao'er. Why is he so sleepy, and why do I feel the aura of runes in his body now?" The young man turned around.

"Ah, you noticed too. I thought it was just an illusion. How can he have runes in his body at such a young age?" The young woman asked in confusion.

"Could it be..." The imposing man suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of lightning shooting out the window, startling a group of auspicious birds that quickly took flight.

"What are you thinking?" The beautiful woman asked.

"True human supreme experts, some of them will eventually develop sacred bones, with their own primitive marks, and their own unique primitive treasure techniques!" The man spoke firmly, then became excited, saying, "A very few people are born with primitive treasure bones, like the Golden-winged Great Peng and the True Hou, born with them. The treasure techniques they develop are enough to stand out in the world, and can be called supreme bones!"

The beautiful woman was shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief, looking at the cute baby in her arms, her hands trembling with tension.

"Let me examine him carefully!" The young man was decisive, taking large steps over.

The baby was very curious, not knowing what they were doing, fluttering his big eyes, and happily opening his little arms, wanting to be held.

After a thorough examination, the man was shocked, his fingers trembling, and the usually calm and decisive man was stuttering, saying, "Supreme bone... born with it!"

What does this mean? In the future, this child can rival ancient heavenly beasts, can fight the pure-blooded Golden-winged Great Peng and the True Hou, and his unique primitive treasure technique will shock the world, inscribed in the history of the human race.

The woman held the baby, gently kissing his rosy little face, her eyes shining brightly, saying, "Whether he has a supreme bone or not, he is our child, and we must let him grow up happily."

A few days later, news came from the battlefield of the hundred clans. The adult Pixiu, with its withering power, was raging in a bloody frenzy, sweeping across the vast battlefield, with no one able to match it.

Even with the many experts around the Fifteenth Lord, they could not stop it. He was pursued for tens of thousands of miles, an arm torn off, and almost all his bones broken.

In the end, he was saved by someone, using several pieces of ancient relic bones to set up a divine array, finally escaping with his life, but his whereabouts were unknown.

He was severely injured, and it was uncertain whether he could survive, disappearing without a trace, and not returning to the capital.

"No, I must go find Father!" The young man stood up abruptly after receiving the news, deciding to head to the southern border.

"The clan has already dispatched many experts, and the Human Emperor has issued an edict, ordering the various lords to search and rescue. What can you do by going?" The young woman was afraid her husband would take risks out of impulse and go after the Pixiu.

"Father's fate is unknown. No matter what, I must do my best to find him!" The man was resolute, insisting on going.

The beautiful woman knew her husband's temperament; once he made a decision, he would not change it. But she was really worried about him going after the terrifying Pixiu, saying, "I will go with you. There are two treasure techniques that require us to work together to reach their full potential, with unmatched power."

"No, you still need to take care of Hao'er!" The man refused.

"How can I leave you?" The woman shook her head, her expression gentle, saying, "There are so many people in the clan, can't they take good care of little Hao? Unless ancient beasts attack the capital, who would dare to cause trouble in our noble mansion?"

The man thought about it and found it reasonable.

He had secretly reported to the two elders in charge of the clan about the supreme bone in Shi Hao's body, thinking they would treat it as a rare treasure and ensure its safety.

This matter was classified as top secret because it was of great importance. On the surface, Shi Yi was enough, as he was born with double pupils, and his identity would be known as soon as he appeared. Shi Hao, on the other hand, was not easily discovered unless by the closest people, so there was no need to reveal it, to prevent others from coveting it and causing his early death.

"Eleventh Brother and Sister, are you really going to travel? There's no need, the clan has dispatched all its experts, and they will definitely bring the Fifteenth Lord back."

"Yes, don't worry, good people will have good fortune, the Fifteenth Lord will be fine!"

The clan members tried to persuade them, but the couple insisted on leaving.

"Eleventh Brother, don't worry, I will take care of Hao'er. I will let him spend more time with Yi'er, and when they grow up, they can conquer the world together." A young woman smiled.

She was outstanding in appearance, the mother of Shi Yi, with a gentle smile and bright teeth, very approachable, and her young son was a prodigy, giving her a high status in the clan.

"Thank you, Sixth Sister-in-law. A few clan elders will be enough, it's too much trouble for you." The couple thanked her.

"Eleventh Sister, you're too polite. We're family, don't say such things." The young woman said gently.

In the end, the couple set out, leaving the ancient country, heading for the battlefield of the hundred clans.

"Yi'er, in the future, you should spend more time with Hao'er. He has extraordinary talent, and when he grows up, he will be your right-hand man." The young woman instructed her son with double pupils after returning to her palace.

"Okay!" The three-year-old child was very composed, far beyond his age.

The clan members helped take care of Shi Hao, and with many servants, there were no problems. Except for the first few days when he was a bit restless, missing his parents, he was easy to care for afterward.

A few days later, the young woman brought Shi Hao to her residence, seeing her son's eyes glowing, staring intently at the baby. She asked, puzzled, "Yi'er, why do you always stare at your brother?"

"He is not simple. He has a bone in his body, with complex runes, mysterious and hard to fathom." Shi Yi said calmly.

The young woman was startled. She knew her son was extraordinary, with double pupils, a characteristic of ancient sages and deities, able to see through many origins.

Suddenly, she was shocked, remembering something, and asked urgently, "You said he has a bone in his body, covered with primitive runes?"

"Yes." The child said calmly.

"Born with... a supreme bone!" The young woman trembled, thinking of the ancient legends, unable to suppress her excitement.

For a long time, her expression was uncertain, staring at the innocent baby, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes, then she turned to her son, saying, "Don't tell anyone!"

The child nodded, saying nothing.

A few months passed, and little Shi Hao grew cuter, already able to walk and speak, with bright eyes, fair and beautiful, like a porcelain doll, making anyone who saw him want to pinch his little cheeks.

During this time, the young woman treated little Shi Hao very well, as if he were her own child, eventually bringing him to her residence to take care of him along with Shi Yi.

"Big Sister, I want to go to the garden to see the Red-feathered Crane. Ah Man said it's very beautiful, with a body as red as fire and a very pleasant call." The little one fluttered his big eyes, his long lashes trembling, speaking in a childish voice, still with a baby tone, innocent and gentle.

Most children his age couldn't speak so fluently or walk so well, but he had no problem.

"Ah Man? She's a servant girl. Don't listen to her nonsense. In the future, Big Sister will take you to see the Phoenix and the Five-colored Peacock King." The young woman said.

"Ah Man is a good sister, very kind and beautiful. She often tells me stories and is very nice." Little Shi Hao blinked his big eyes, speaking very sincerely.

"Okay, after lunch, we'll go see the Red-feathered Crane. Later, I'll take you to see the Phoenix and the Five-colored Peacock King." The young woman smiled.

"Big Sister is the best!" The little one looked up, his hands clasped together, his eyes full of stars, showing a hopeful expression.

Then, he turned around, saying, "Big Brother, let's go to the back yard to play, there are many children there."

"No!" Shi Yi refused, sitting cross-legged, as steady as a rock, silently practicing bone runes.

"Oh, then I'll go play." The little one ran to the distant "back yard" to play with a group of servants' children, laughing happily.

The little one was beautiful and cute, very kind, and never bullied the children of servants, often playing with them, so everyone in the mansion, from top to bottom, liked him.

A few days later, the young woman took Shi Yi and the little one, leaving the noble mansion, driving to an estate to see the descendants of ancient divine birds like the Phoenix and the Five-colored Peacock.

"Big Sister, where is the Phoenix?" The little one asked curiously, puzzled as they entered a subterranean palace after entering the estate.

"You'll see soon." The young woman said expressionlessly.

When they entered a secret room, the young woman's fingertips glowed with runes, pressing them onto the little one's body. However, the treasure bone in his body glowed, directly dissolving the runes without making him faint.

"Truly a supreme bone!" The young woman's eyes were even more intense, knowing that the treasure bone was just beginning to grow!

She clapped her hands, and a shadow appeared nearby, like a ghost, silently approaching, picking up the little one, and pressing him onto a cold bed.

"Big Sister, what are you doing?" The little one, only eight or nine months old, still innocent and kind, asked in confusion.

A dazzling silver knife flashed, with a mesmerizing glow, slicing open the little one's chest, blood gushing out, and a faint divine light swirling, runes endless, flickering continuously.

"Pain!" The little one cried out in pain, his eyes full of fear, never expecting to be treated this way. He was just an eight or nine-month-old baby, what did he know?

"Can't even make him faint, what a hassle." The young woman said coldly.

Beside her, another child—Shi Yi—watched silently, without a word, making one doubt if he was really only three years old.

Blood flowed, the little one's face pale, his eyes lifeless, continuously crying out in pain, his voice filled with sorrow.

"Absolutely no accidents. I've checked the rare bone book, and it records that such a graft can be successful. My son, with double pupils, is destined to be supreme in the world!" The young woman was very nervous, shouting loudly.

"Big Sister..." The little one looked up, tears streaming down his face, his little hands outstretched, pleading, trying to ease the intense pain.

However, the young woman was unmoved, her face very cold, only urging the ghostly figure to be careful, not to let the supreme bone lose its vitality.

"Done!" Finally, the shadow let out a low, beast-like growl, cutting out a light source from the little one's chest, with an indescribable magic, just beginning to grow, making one's soul tremble, emitting endless divine light, illuminating the entire secret room.

"Yi'er, it's your turn, you must hold on!" The young woman was very nervous, instructing the other child.

The child nodded, saying nothing.

He lay on a jade bed, the silver knife slicing through, blood flowing, his chest cut open.

"Be careful, don't make any mistakes!" The young woman's eyes were fierce, very concerned for her child.

On the cold bed nearby, the little one was very exhausted and in pain, his eyes full of tears, his long lashes trembling, his little hands reaching out, trying to grasp a bit of warmth, his voice trembling, pleading, "Big Sister..."

The young woman glanced at him coldly, ignoring him, turning to the other bed, her face full of affection, her voice very gentle, softly saying, "Yi'er, you must hold on, in the future, this vast domain will be yours, because... you are born supreme!"

Beside her, the little one, having lost his supreme bone, lay on the cold bed, his snow-white face covered in tears, slowly falling into unconsciousness, murmuring, "Mother..." In his greatest pain, he was calling for his true family, making one's heart ache.
