Chapter 59

"Daughter..." Xiaobudian murmured, calling out weakly in his semi-conscious state. Only his mother was the best, the one who would never harm him, the one who was the gentlest.

His mother had left when he was just a few months old, leaving only a vague memory. Now, that memory had become the warmth he most yearned for, the desire to sleep in her embrace.

Tears continuously streamed down his pale little face. He curled up into a ball, his body shivering, and he huddled in the corner of the cold bed, on the verge of fainting.

From the other side of the jade bed came a muffled groan. Shi Yi, though young, showed no fear. His heterochromatic eyes glowed with divine light. He bit down on a piece of soft wood, drenched in cold sweat, enduring the intense pain.

"Good child, you must endure. After today, you will soar to the heavens, and no one will be able to stop your rise. You will be the most brilliant genius in this vast land." The young woman held the child's hand, letting him draw warmth to combat the intense pain. She was tense, but her eyes also shone with boundless fervor.

The source of light was covered in countless runes, densely packed, flowing with the mysteries of the universe, complex and incomprehensible, causing a sense of awe and a desire to worship.

The young woman's eyes were wild, and she was even more convinced that this was worth it. Even if they were discovered and punished, it would be worth it as long as the bone was implanted in Yi. The Supreme Bone had already shown such power even as it began to grow. If it grew well in the future, it would be incredible!

The ancient Golden-winged Great Peng and True Hou were beings capable of slaying gods, supreme and unparalleled. A born Supreme could contend with them. Who would dare to challenge him in the future?

"Almost there, Yi, hold on!" She constantly encouraged and cheered him on, her face full of gentleness, helping Shi Yi relax and endure this critical moment.

The source of light was brilliant, as if a celestial deity was sleeping inside, emitting divine rings that illuminated the entire secret chamber, casting a sacred glow, as if they had entered a divine realm.

Shi Yi's chest was filled with dazzling light. He struggled more intensely, emitting a wild roar, in extreme pain, drenched in sweat.

"Be careful, don't hurt my Yi!" The young woman's face showed a fierce expression as she shouted at the black shadow. She was increasingly tense and afraid, fearing failure.

"Though the records are detailed, this is still a Supreme Bone. The transplant is extremely dangerous. If it goes wrong, it could explode, and we might both die here." The ghostly black shadow spoke in a low voice.

"I don't care. I just want success. Since the bone book has records and precedents, there's no reason we can't succeed." The young woman shouted, her beautiful face distorted. She held Shi Yi's hand and said, "We share the same bloodline, the same roots. The success rate should be higher. Yi, hold on!"

The black shadow growled, and the entire secret chamber came to a boil. Brilliant divine light bloomed, spreading to every inch of space.

Fiery light erupted, a mountain of thunder descended, lightning danced, and divine sounds rumbled. Various strange phenomena appeared.

In the end, the auspicious light condensed, the runes coalesced, forming the unique Supreme Source Bone, which was implanted into Shi Yi's chest. The black shadow moved quickly, the runes rushed out, healing the wound, stopping the bleeding, and regenerating the flesh.

"Done!"

A low growl, and the secret chamber fell silent, the strange scene fading away.

"Good child, you are my pride. From now on, no one can stop your steps. This vast land will tremble under your feet!" The young woman was extremely excited, holding Shi Yi's arm, her face filled with joy, her eyes blazing with fervor.

She took a soft blanket and carefully covered the unconscious Shi Yi. Finally, she stood up, unable to resist a mad, hysterical laugh.

"Mother... I'm cold." The curled-up, shivering Xiaobudian was awakened by the laughter, his chest in pain, his face pale, and he called out weakly.

The young woman suddenly turned, not taking the blanket, but staring at him coldly, showing no mercy. She spoke to the black shadow, "Extract all the remaining true blood from his body to nourish the Supreme Bone in Yi."

The area where the Supreme Bone was growing had corresponding true blood, used to nurture the unique original treasure bone, with astonishing divine properties.

"If extracted, this child will likely not live past two years old," the black shadow said.

"Two years? A year or half a year is enough. Anything can happen during this time," the young woman said coldly.

The black shadow, hearing this, said no more, took out a jade jar, and used secret techniques. Runes flickered, and a hazy light shone again, making the secret chamber sacred.

"Cast the spell immediately, use this jar of treasure blood to nourish Yi's body, and quickly integrate it with the Supreme Bone, making them one." The young woman was very urgent.

"Better to proceed gradually, step by step," the black shadow reminded.

"No problem. Yi has heterochromatic eyes, which are not comparable to ordinary children. Moreover, the sooner they integrate, the more at ease I will be. At least for half a year, even if someone discovers, they won't be able to transplant the Supreme Bone. Too frequent transplants will lead to its withering."

"So cold..." Xiaobudian fell unconscious again, his lips turning white, his small body curled up in the corner of the bed, shivering continuously.

When everything was over, the secret chamber fell silent. The black shadow left, and the vast underground palace seemed somewhat eerie.

The young woman walked back and forth, frowning, pondering how to explain. No one in the clan should have discovered the secret of the Supreme Bone in Xiaobudian's body, unless they held him every day and had extremely deep cultivation to sense it. The only people who met these conditions were his parents, but he was already eight or nine months old and no longer needed to be carried.

"Yi has heterochromatic eyes, capable of seeing through many origins. Others don't have this ability and shouldn't have discovered it!" The young woman relaxed, thinking about the future.

"If that couple dies under the claws of the Pixiu or for other reasons, everything will be perfect." She whispered to herself, a hint of coldness in her smile.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying sound came, and the underground palace collapsed. The entrance was destroyed by a powerful force, and an old man with white hair and beard, but extremely robust, rushed in, his body glowing like burning gold.

The young woman was shocked. The entrance to the underground palace was not something an ordinary person could break through; only the clan's strongest could do it.

Divine light burst forth, and a thousand rays of auspicious light shone. An old man, like an angry lion, burst into the secret chamber. Seeing the scene before him, his eyes widened in rage, and he let out a thunderous roar: "Wretch, what a poisonous woman!"

This was one of the two main elders of the clan, of the highest seniority and the strongest power. He rarely appeared, always cultivating and pondering profound truths in the ancient cave.

Shi Hao's parents had entrusted their child to him and another person, and only they knew about the Supreme Bone in his body, listed as a top secret.

Originally, he and the other elder were responsible for ensuring Shi Hao's safety, but they were old and male, not good at taking care of children, so they agreed to let the younger generation help.

The clan had always been harmonious, and the young wives had worked hard, raising little Shi Hao to be plump and beautiful over the past few months, putting their minds at ease. They never expected such a tragedy to occur today.

This old man had always been very attentive, sending experts to follow Xiaobudian. Today, the young woman took the two children to see the descendants of the ancient divine birds, and the time was too long. The experts sent were in a panic, rushing back to report that the group had entered the underground palace but couldn't open the door. He was shocked and rushed over.

"You poisonous woman, I'll kill you!" The old man's hair and beard glowed, like a golden lion, pouncing instantly, grabbing her by the neck, and lifting her up as if she were a chick.

The young woman, though highly cultivated and very powerful, was nothing compared to the old man. Her face turned pale, and her body was about to explode with runes.

"Fourth Grandfather, don't kill my mother!" Shi Yi, awakened by the roar, took the silver knife from the bedside and pressed it to his neck, drawing a blood line.

"You... little beast!" The old man was furious.

"Fourth Brother, let her go for now." Another old man walked in, his body emitting red light, like an old fire phoenix, though aged but still vigorous, with eyes like golden lamps.

"Old Fifth, what do you mean? Is this a descendant of your branch, so you want to show favoritism?" The old man, like a golden lion, shouted.

"Fourth Grandfather, please don't kill my mother!" On the other side, the heterochromatic-eyed Shi Yi spoke again, the silver knife stained with blood, cutting his neck.

"See? We lost a Supreme, and now we are about to lose another heterochromatic-eyed child. In ancient times, these were sages and divine beings! Let her go for now, and we will deal with it later." The old man, like a blood phoenix, said.

"Boom"

The old man, like a golden lion, threw her forcefully, slamming her into the opposite wall with a loud thud, causing many stones to fall, and she couldn't stand up for a long time.

"Zi Ling, I have failed you and your wife. I didn't take good care of Hao, causing him great injustice and suffering." The old man roared to the sky.

"Fourth Grandfather... I'm cold, it hurts." The curled-up, shivering Xiaobudian spoke weakly.

"Good child, it's all my fault!" The old man scooped him up in his arms, almost shedding tears, using the secret power of the treasure symbol to emit auspicious light, wrapping him in it.

"Where is the Supreme Bone?" The old man, with a red body and surging divine light, like a blood phoenix, asked.

The young woman, pale-faced, stood up but said nothing.

"Grandfather, it's in my body." Shi Yi threw down the silver knife and said calmly.

The old man, like a blood phoenix, looked at him with a strange light in his eyes, saying nothing for a long time.

The old man holding Xiaobudian was even angrier, his voice cold: "Our Shi clan has a family rule: no mutual killing, we must unite and face external threats together. Otherwise, how could we have left our ancestral village and established this vast territory, ruling millions of people, and holding the position of human emperor, with countless dukes and marquises? You, woman, are too cruel. The clan rules cannot tolerate you!"

"The situation is complicated, involving the Supreme Bone, the highest secret of the clan, which cannot be leaked. This is not the place to talk. Let's go back and discuss it." The old man beside him spoke.

"Old Fifth, are you trying to protect her?!" The old man, like a golden lion, shouted.

"Whatever happens, a born Supreme cannot be allowed to disappear. Let's go back to the manor and discuss it." The old man, emitting red light, said.

"Even if I don't act now, Zi Ling will not let this go. According to his temper, he will either wipe out your branch or kill most of them. He won't rest until he gets justice!" The old man, like a golden lion, said.
