Chapter 64

"Four elders are here, so there will be no problem. Previously, when Yi-er’s hundred bones were broken, I think it was just to let Ziling vent his anger," another elder said calmly.

Shi Ziling held a war spear, appearing like a flying god-demon, and with a long howl, a huge ancient fierce beast emerged from within him, accompanying him in the attack.

"Whoosh!"

Shi Yi raised his head, his eyes deep, with the scene of the sun and moon revolving and stars falling, extremely terrifying. Then he shot out two dazzling beams of light, composed of runes, densely packed, shooting towards the sky.

He once again disrupted the heavens and earth, interfering with Shi Ziling’s spell, but this time it was useless. The golden war spear swept, resonating with the heavens and earth, a thousand layers of golden waves surged, suppressing all directions.

With a "pu" sound, several elders spat out large mouthfuls of blood and were swept away. Shi Li, after landing, staggered, spitting blood with each step, almost throwing Shi Yi out. His body trembled violently, nearly falling over.

"Roar..." Beside Shi Ziling, the ancient fierce beast also unleashed its power, shaking the heavens and earth, its ferocious aura like the sea, spreading in all directions.

The four elders were shaken again, spitting blood once more.

"Fight on!"

The four rushed forward, surrounding and attacking together.

The intense battle raged, treasure techniques soared to the sky, shaking all directions. The place was filled with brilliant light, and Shi Ziling, like a golden heavenly deity, fought fiercely under the attack of the four experts, actually taking the upper hand!

The battle reached a fever pitch, the four elders were all bloodstained, while Shi Ziling fought more bravely, his divine radiance overwhelming, making them feel suffocated.

Suddenly, a terrifying wave of energy emanated from Shi Li, as if an ancient divine lord had emerged, shaking the vast heavens and earth. His chest was glowing.

"Hmm?" Shi Ziling was startled.

This was too sudden. The terrifying power suppressed everything, even stopping the golden war spear and erasing the ancient fierce beast beside Shi Ziling.

Shi Ziling’s eyes shone with divine light, like two golden lightning bolts, dispelling the terrifying wave. The war spear in his hand glowed again, surrounded by a large number of flying runes, intimidating all directions.

"Boom!"

The golden war spear thrust forward, piercing through the heavens and earth. The chanting of the gods sounded, so real and sacred, with light shining down, this was an offensive defense!

Shi Li’s attack was truly terrifying. He and Shi Yi seemed to have merged, his chest glowing, his body covered in complex patterns, flowing with the secrets of the universe.

That aura was too terrifying, shaking the other three elders, making them spit blood and stagger back, their hearts filled with shock. This was not even directed at them, yet it was still so powerful.

In the distance, the onlookers felt as if they had been hit by a hammer, their bodies trembling, involuntarily retreating. Those closer even had blood trickling from their mouths, their breathing almost stopping, unable to resist bowing down.

"It’s Hao-er’s Supreme Bone!" Shi Ziling’s eyes turned cold, his hair standing on end in anger.

Shi Li, carrying Shi Yi, the two merged, forcefully activating the bone, emitting such divine power, shocking everyone.

However, it was just this one strike. Shi Li’s essence and spirit were completely drained, unable to bear it, coughing blood continuously, his body shaking, and cracks appearing.

As for Shi Yi, a cracking sound came from his chest. His repositioned bones were shaken loose again, suffering severe injuries and backlash. The Supreme Bone had not fully grown and should not have been used this way.

Shi Ziling’s body was ablaze with golden light, filling the sky. His strength made the others tremble, and he was unharmed, withstanding the attack of the Supreme Bone, advancing forward.

"Thud!"

With one step, the heavens and earth shook. He seemed like a released killing god, dispelling the peaceful atmosphere, his body emitting bone-chilling killing intent, sweeping forward with his spear.

The three elders were swept away, covered in blood, falling into the crowd, never getting up again, their bones shattered, runes unable to coalesce.

As for Shi Li, he received a powerful blow from Shi Ziling. The spear tip, like a golden dragon from the sky, pierced through his protective treasure, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out.

With a "pu" sound, half of his body exploded, the pain making him tremble, the runes immediately being erased, unable to take effect, his eyes filled with terror.

Shi Ziling, like an ancient divine king, bathed in light, took a step forward, the golden spear tip pointing ahead, intending to pierce through Shi Li and Shi Yi, nailing them to the ground.

"Ziling, it’s time to stop." At this moment, the elder in the northwest moved, still seated, but moving like lightning, his body emitting mist, his figure blurry, extending a hand to block the terrifying spear tip, protecting the two.

In fact, they had been there all along. Since Shi Ziling and his wife entered the manor, they had moved, sealing all directions.

At the beginning, when Shi Ziling entered the clan, he felt a strange atmosphere, sensing the presence of the four elders. He had already foreseen that things would not go well.

The four elders had extremely deep cultivation, their limits hard to fathom. With them present, it was too difficult to seek justice through force. They had no idea how many years they had cultivated.

"Ancestor, is this how you administer justice?" Shi Ziling shouted.

"I know you feel wronged, and the clan has wronged Hao-er, but please believe us, we will make amends," the elder said.

At this moment, mist spread, and the other three elders also appeared, trapping him in the center, all silent.

"I won’t accept it!" Shi Ziling roared, his body glowing, the golden war spear pointing to the sky, his body bursting with runes, using his strongest treasure technique, ready for battle.

Everyone was moved, daring to challenge the elders, this was the first time in the clan’s history, Shi Ziling’s strength was truly awe-inspiring!

"Ziling, you’ve gone too far. If you insist on fighting, don’t blame us for suppressing you!" an elder said.

"Then let’s fight!" Shi Ziling swung his war spear, his body radiant, runes intertwining, the ancient fierce beast rising, his treasure technique shocking the world, launching his strongest attack.

The sky seemed to tear, the vast expanse filled with dazzling holy light, making it impossible to look directly, everyone trembling, ready to kneel under such divine power.

"Suppress!" The elder acted.

The place witnessed the most terrifying battle, shaking the heavens and earth, touching the hearts of all, every soul trembling, feeling waves of fear.

"I can’t see..." In the village, in front of the great willow tree, Little Bao was in tears, unable to see the battle.

"Because you are still too young, you can’t see such a level of battle," the willow tree transmitted, the chaotic energy spreading, the place still blurry and hazy.

"I want to see, I want to know the result." Little Bao clenched his fists, though he knew it was something that had already happened, his heart was still tense.

At the Shi manor, the light was blinding, various holy lights dancing, blocking out the sun, covering the entire manor, making it impossible to see anything.

"Mind meets mind, heart meets heart!" Finally, Little Bao’s mother joined the battle, holding him, fighting alongside Shi Ziling, their treasure techniques shaking the imperial capital.

Unfortunately, Little Bao could see nothing, only light and treasure techniques, so dazzling that it made his heart tremble, the entire world dyed a pale golden by the holy light.

In the end, he must have been too weak, fainting in his mother’s arms, just before closing his eyes, he saw a young brother outside the battlefield.

Although Shi Yi’s hundred bones were broken, his essence and spirit were not weakened, his deep-set eyes staring at Shi Ziling, cold and piercing. He then turned to look at Little Bao, his lips curling, his eyes filled with a proud and radiant light, looking at Little Bao for a moment before turning away.

Because Little Bao was on the brink of death, having lost his Supreme Bone, his life was ruined, not worth much attention.

For a long time afterward, Little Bao was in a daze, hovering between life and death, extremely weak, his life force seemingly about to dry up, unaware of what had happened.

When he woke up again, he was in a vast, desolate wilderness, far from the ancient kingdom, leaving the bustling imperial capital, the scene a stark contrast.

They arrived at a large but very dilapidated manor, where the ancestor who revived the Shi family had grown up, considered the second ancestral land.

"Ziling, you are truly remarkable!" An old man with white hair and beard slapped the ancient table, very excited and angry, saying, "If I were fifty years younger and had your strength, I would also have caused chaos in the imperial capital, bullying us as if we had no one to stand up for us?!"

Shi Ziling shook his head, his face somewhat pale.

An old man, very advanced in age, said, "They even exiled you to this desolate place, they went too far, you are still so young!"

"Yes, they say it’s the second ancestral land, but what is it? Desolate and cold, not a blessed land at all, unsuitable for cultivation and long-term residence!"

The dilapidated second ancestral land was located in a remote border area, where only those who had committed serious offenses or caused great trouble would be exiled.

"This is my agreement with them, Hao-er will recuperate here," Shi Ziling said.

"It’s the same, being exiled here!" an old man said angrily, then asked, puzzled, "What did they give you?"

"If Hao-er can recover his vitality, they will immediately return the Supreme Bone," Shi Ziling said.

"Child, how can you believe them? This is just a delay, Hao-er is so seriously ill, even if he survives, he won’t be able to nourish the Supreme Bone again!" an old man pounded his chest.

There were four special old men here, apart from the servants, all once famous figures, of very high seniority, but who had committed serious offenses and been exiled to this desolate land.

If not for the fear of involving their descendants, they would have long fled, as their cultivation was extremely terrifying. Many years had passed, and they were all in their twilight years, with little life left.

"Ancestor Si secretly gave me a fragment of a map, saying that if we can find our true ancestral land, Hao-er might be able to recover there," Shi Ziling said softly.

On the other side, his wife, with a worried look, held the weak Little Bao, her beautiful face not having smiled for a long time.

"What, our true ancestral land?" The old men’s eyes widened. That was not an ordinary place, filled with many mysteries and legends, where the ancestors of the Shi clan had emerged, creating endless glory and establishing an ancient kingdom.

All were very excited. The ancestral land touched the hearts of many in the Shi clan, filled with many mysteries, and it was said that gods could be born there. However, due to ancestral rules, they had severed ties with it and could no longer find it.

"Is it real, or are they deceiving you?" an old man was skeptical.

"Regardless, I will try my best to make Hao-er recover!" Shi Ziling’s face was resolute.

"What if you can’t find it?" an old man reminded.

"Then I will find the ancient divine mountain, traverse the wilderness, and pick a sacred herb, I will not let Hao-er sink into despair!" Shi Ziling said.

Beside him, his wife nodded, her beautiful eyes filled with determination, hugging Little Bao tightly.

The old men were all startled, all speaking, warning him earnestly.

"Ziling, don’t be reckless. The ancient divine mountain is not a place to be entered lightly. It may be home to supreme beings like the true bear or the golden-winged great roc, risking your life!"

Shi Ziling was studying the fragment of the map, and would not enter the ancient divine mountain unless absolutely necessary, hoping to find the ancestral land.

"If Hao-er dies, I will fight them to the death, causing heaven and earth to collapse!" Shi Ziling’s eyes were intimidating, emitting a terrifying aura.

"According to the agreement, Hao-er should stay here to recuperate. They are not trusting you, wanting to monitor your movements, fearing you might return and attack," an old man said.

"I won’t leave Hao-er here!" Shi Ziling was not a rigid person.

"Let’s do this. Don’t give them an excuse. Maybe you can really cure Hao-er. I will find a child to replace him, and we must retrieve the Supreme Bone in the future!"

...

Later, Shi Ziling and his wife, after great hardships, found the Stone Village. Seeing the scorched willow tree, they were truly amazed. They were very powerful and naturally saw the extraordinary nature of the tree.

However, they were extremely disappointed with everything else in the ancestral land of the Stone Village.

A breeze blew, the mist gradually dispersing. Under the willow tree, Little Bao stood alone, tears streaming down his face.

After a long time, the willow tree transmitted, "How do you feel?"

"I am very heartbroken, Father, Mother, where are you now?" Little Bao kept crying.

"You are indeed a kind child, not driven to madness by hatred and shouting for revenge," the willow tree transmitted, then continued, "You lost your Supreme Bone, don’t you hate it? Shi Yi is now shining brightly, surrounded by divine rings, beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Little Bao naturally knew that Shi Yi’s future was destined to surpass the ordinary, his radiance illuminating the earth, something that could be imagined.

He spoke very calmly, "It’s just a bone, isn’t it? Supremacy is not bestowed, not determined by a bone, but achieved step by step."

"Since you can say this, I will tell you a secret," the willow tree was very pleased.

"What secret?" Little Bao was surprised.

"Have you seen the grass and trees wither and flourish again?" the willow tree asked.
