"With the four ancestral elders here, nothing will go wrong. Previously, when Yi'er's hundreds of bones were broken, I think it was just to let Ziling vent his anger." Another ancestral elder was very calm.
Shi Ziling, holding the battle spear, charged across the sky like a flying demon god. With a long howl, a huge ancient fierce beast emerged within his body and followed him to kill.
"Whoosh!"
Shi Yi looked up, his eyes were deep, with scenes of the sun, moon turning and the Milky Way falling. It was extremely terrifying. Then, two brilliant beams of light shot out, composed of runes, densely packed and shot towards the sky.
He once again disrupted the order of heaven and earth, interfering with Shi Ziling's spellcasting. But this time, it was useless. With a sweep of the golden battle spear, heaven and earth resonated, and tens of thousands of heavy waves of gold surged, suppressing all directions.
"Puff!" Several ancestral elders spat out mouthfuls of blood and were swept away. Shi Li, upon landing, staggered step by step, spitting blood with each step. He nearly threw Shi Yi out. His body trembled violently and almost fell.
"Roar..." Beside Shi Ziling, that ancient fierce beast also exerted its might, shaking heaven and earth. The fierce and evil aura was like a sea, spreading in all directions.
The four ancestral elders were shaken again and spat blood once more.
"Fight again!"
The four rushed forward and jointly attacked.
Several people fought fiercely. Precious techniques soared to the sky. All directions trembled. Here, the light was intense. Shi Ziling was like a golden god. Under the siege of the four experts, he charged and attacked freely, actually gaining the upper hand!
The battle reached a white-hot stage. The four ancestral elders were all blood-stained at their chests. But Shi Ziling fought more and more bravely. Divine radiance surged to the sky, oppressing them to the point of suffocation.
Suddenly, a terrifying fluctuation emanated from Shi Li's body, as if an ancient god had emerged, shaking the vast heaven and earth. His chest was glowing.
"Hmm?" Shi Ziling was startled.
This was too sudden. This terrifying force suppressed everything. It actually fixed the golden battle spear and erased the ancient fierce beast beside Shi Ziling.
The divine light in Shi Ziling's eyes soared like two golden lightning bolts, scattering that 可怕的波动. The battle spear in his hand glowed again, surrounded by a large number of runes, intimidating all directions.
"Boom!"
The golden battle spear thrust forward, piercing through heaven and earth. The chanting of the gods sounded, so real and sacred. Divine radiance scattered. This was attacking instead of defending!
Shi Li's attack was truly terrifying. He and Shi Yi seemed to merge together. His chest glowed and his whole body was covered with complex patterns, flowing with the mysteries of the universe.
That aura was too terrifying. It shocked the other three ancestral elders to the point of spitting blood, staggering backward. It horrified them in their hearts. This was not even targeted at them, yet it was still like this.
In the distance, the spectators felt as if struck by a hammer. Their bodies trembled violently and involuntarily backed away. Some of those closer even had blood at the corners of their mouths and their breathing nearly stopped. They couldn't help but want to worship.
"It's Hao'er's Supreme Bone!" Shi Ziling's eyes immediately turned extremely cold. His hair stood on end in rage.
Shi Li carried Shi Yi on his back. The two were united. Forcibly activating that bone actually emitted such divine might, shocking everyone in all directions.
However, it was just this one strike. Shi Li's essence, spirit, and energy were devoured completely. Unable to withstand it, he kept coughing blood. His body trembled and there were cracks everywhere.
As for Shi Yi on his back, there was a cracking sound from his chest. The bones that had returned to their positions were shaken apart again. He suffered a severe backlash and injury. The Supreme Bone had not truly grown yet and should not have been used like this.
Shi Ziling was like an ancient god-king, bathed in radiance. With one step forward, the tip of the golden battle spear pointed forward, wanting to pierce through Shi Li and Shi Yi together and nail them to the ground.
"Ziling, it's time to stop." Just then, the ancestral elder in the west moved. Still sitting cross-legged, but as fast as lightning, he moved to the front. His whole body emitted mist. His figure was blurry. He reached out a hand to block the terrifying tip of the spear and protect the two.
In fact, they had been there all along. Ever since Shi Ziling and his wife stepped into the mansion, they had moved and sealed the four directions.
Earlier, when Shi Ziling entered the clan, he sensed the strange atmosphere and detected the aura of the four ancestral elders. At that time, he already had a bad premonition.
The cultivation of the four was extremely deep, and it was difficult to detect the limit. With them here, it was too difficult to seek justice through force. They had no idea how many years they had been practicing.
"Ancestral elder, is this how you 主持 justice?" Shi Ziling shouted.
"I know you are aggrieved. The clan members are sorry for Hao'er. But please believe that we will definitely compensate." The ancestral elder said.
Just then, mist filled the air. The other three ancestral elders also manifested here, trapping him in the center. All remained silent.
"I am not convinced!" Shi Ziling roared. His whole body glowed. The golden battle spear in his hand pointed obliquely towards the southern sky. His whole body erupted with runes and used the most powerful precious technique, preparing for a battle.
Everyone was moved. Daring to contend with the ancestral elders. This was the first time in the clan for many years. How dare he be like this? The strength of Shi Ziling made people tremble!
"Ziling, you have gone too far. If you insist on fighting, don't blame us for suppressing you!" One ancestral elder spoke.
"Then let's fight!" Shi Ziling brandished the battle spear. His whole body was brilliant. Runes interwove. Ancient fierce beasts rushed up. The precious technique was astonishing and launched the most powerful attack.
It seemed as if this day was torn apart. Vast and boundless. Holy light was dazzling. It was impossible to look directly. Everyone trembled and wanted to kneel down under such divine might.
"Suppress!" The ancestral elders attacked.
The most terrifying battle occurred here. Earth-shattering and soul-stirring. Everyone's soul trembled and felt waves of fear.
"I can't see..." In front of the big willow tree in Stone Village, Little One's face was covered in tears. He couldn't see that battle.
"Because you are still too young to see a battle of that level." The willow tree transmitted its voice. Chaotic qi pervaded. This place remained blurry and hazy.
"I want to keep watching and know the result." Little One clenched his fists. Although he knew it was something that had already happened, his heart was still very tense.
The Stone Mansion was dazzling with light. All kinds of holy light danced together, covering the entire mansion. Nothing could be seen.
"Telepathy!" In the end, Little One's mother joined the battle. Holding him, she charged into the battlefield and jointly activated the precious technique with Shi Ziling, shaking the imperial capital.
Unfortunately, Little One couldn't see anything. All he could see was light and precious techniques. The brilliance was so dazzling that the entire heaven and earth were dyed light gold by the sacred radiance.
In the end, he should have been too weak. He fainted in his mother's arms. Before closing his big eyes, he saw the older brother outside the battlefield.
Although Shi Yi's hundreds of bones were broken, his essence, spirit, and energy did not weaken. His double pupils were deep and staring at Shi Ziling with a kind of coldness. Then he turned to look at Little One, the corners of his mouth slightly curved. There was a kind of glorious look in his eyes that looked down upon heaven and earth. It was very brilliant. He only glanced at Little One and then paid no more attention.
Because Little One was on the verge of death, having lost the Supreme Bone, his life was ruined and not worth paying more attention to.
For a long time after that, Little One remained in a coma. Wandering between life and death. So weak that his life seemed to be drying up at any moment. He had no knowledge of what happened.
When he woke up again, he had already arrived in a desolate and bitter land. Far from the vast ancient country and leaving the prosperous imperial capital. The scene was completely different.
They came to a very large but very dilapidated manor. This was the place where the rejuvenating ancestor of the Shi Clan grew up. It was also considered the second ancestral land.
"Ziling, you are truly remarkable!" An old man with white hair and beard slapped the old table, very excited and angry. "If I were fifty years younger and had your strength, I would also go and cause a commotion in the imperial capital. Do they think our branch has no one?!"
Shi Ziling shook his head. His face was somewhat pale.
An old man of great age spoke, saying: "They actually want to exile you to this bitter and desolate land. They are too excessive. You are still so young!"
"Yes, it is said to be the second ancestral land. But what is there? Desolate and bitter cold. It is 根本 not a blessed land suitable for cultivation and long-term residence!"
The dilapidated second ancestral land was located in the desolate frontier. Only those clan members who had committed serious mistakes and caused great disasters would be exiled here.
"This was my agreement with them. Hao'er will recuperate here." Shi Ziling said.
"Isn't it the same? It's just being exiled here!" An old man was angry. Then puzzled, he asked: "What exactly did they give you?"
"If Hao'er can regain his vigorous vitality, they will immediately return the Supreme Bone." Shi Ziling said.
"Child, how could you believe it? This is just a delay. Hao'er is so seriously ill. Even if he can survive, it is impossible to nourish the Supreme Bone again!" An old man beat his chest and stomped his feet.
Here, apart from the servants, there were four special old men. They were all once famous figures of great prestige. Their seniority was extremely high. But they were exiled to this desolate and bitter land for committing serious mistakes.
If not for the fear of implicating their descendants, they would have long escaped. Because their cultivation was extremely terrifying. After many years passed in a flash, several people had entered their twilight years and had little life left.
"Fourth Ancestor, behind everyone's back, privately gave me a torn map. Said that if we could find the true ancestral land of our clan, perhaps Hao'er could recover there." Shi Ziling whispered.
On the other side, his wife carried a worried expression and held the weak Little One. The beautiful face had not shown a smile for a long time.
"What, the true ancestral land of our clan?" Several old men all widened their eyes. That was no ordinary place. There were too many mysteries and legends. The ancestors of the Shi Clan emerged from there, creating endless glory and establishing an ancient country.
Several people were very excited. The ancestral land concerned the hearts of many people of the Shi Clan. There were too many mysteries. It was rumored that gods could be born there! But due to ancestral teachings, the connection was severed and eventually it was impossible to find it.
"Really or not? Don't be deceived by him?" One old man didn't quite believe it.
"No matter what, I will give it a try and do my best to restore Hao'er!" Shi Ziling's face was resolute.
"What if you can't find it?" An old man reminded.
"Then I will go to the Ancient Divine Mountains. Traverse the desolate wilderness and also pick a sacred medicine. I will definitely not let Hao'er sink like this!" Shi Ziling said.
Beside him, his wife nodded. Her beautiful eyes were filled with determination and she held Little One tightly.
Several old men were...
