The Old Village Chief's Request

Old Village Chief Shi Yunfeng asked Shi Jian, "Little Stone, how is your cultivation of the bone texts I passed on to you progressing?"

"Almost there. Those bone texts have been a great help to me. Now, with a wave of my arms, I possess eighty thousand catties of strength!" Shi Jian replied.

Shi Yunfeng was astonished to hear this: "Eighty thousand catties of strength? Doesn't that mean your strength has long since surpassed the Blood Moving Realm?"

Shi Yunfeng had traveled outside in his earlier years, gaining knowledge and understanding of the Realms! A Physical Body transformation, possessing eight thousand catties of strength, was already considered the Early Stage of the Blood Moving Realm. Ordinary people with thirty to forty thousand catties of strength were already at the Peak of the Blood Moving Realm! Shi Jian's strength had reached a full eighty thousand catties; didn't that mean he had already surpassed the Blood Moving Realm?

Shi Jian shook his head, listening to the Old Village Chief: "For ordinary people, thirty to forty thousand catties of strength is already the limit in the Blood Moving Realm, but those Prodigies of great clans can Breakthrough this limit..."

"The true strength limit of the Blood Moving Realm is one hundred thousand catties. The closer one gets to one hundred thousand catties, the greater the potential after Breakthrough!"

"One hundred thousand catties!" The Old Village Chief was even more shocked. The one hundred thousand catty extreme of the Blood Moving Realm—this was indeed something he had not known before.

"You now have eighty thousand catties of strength, so are you going to try to Breakthrough to one hundred thousand catties?" Shi Yunfeng looked at Shi Jian with a hint of realization, then asked.

Shi Jian had shown Heaven-Defying Aptitude since he was a child, and after the Physical Body baptism, he directly stepped into the Blood Moving Realm! A true Dragon had emerged from their small Shi Village, and the Old Village Chief was naturally happy. It was just that Shi Jian's strength improved too quickly, making it difficult for the people in the village to help him! Therefore, Old Village Chief Shi Yunfeng had not known what Realm Shi Jian had cultivated to before. Now, this question almost scared him silly.

Shi Jian possessed eighty thousand catties of strength and still wanted to try to reach the Blood Moving Realm's extreme of one hundred thousand catties of strength... The Village Chief only knew that Shi Jian was amazing before, but he never expected him to be amazing to this extent. Other children of the same age as Shi Jian in the village struggled to move a hundred-catty boulder! Comparing people only leads to frustration. It was estimated that only Little Stone could compare with Shi Jian slightly.

Shi Jian nodded: "Unless I reach the extreme, I will not Breakthrough the Blood Moving Realm!"

Shi Yunfeng sighed, listening to him: "It's our lack of ability. In my early years, I visited some prosperous regions and many tribes. Even the children in those large tribes of several million people could hardly compare to you!"

"Those people are tempered with the true blood of rare Primordial Remnants from a young age. You, in Shi Village, are somewhat innately deficient compared to them; your starting point is too low. I cannot provide you with the true blood of Primordial Exotic Beasts like those large tribes..."

The Old Village Chief's tone was somewhat dejected. He felt a bit guilty for holding Shi Jian back. A Prodigy had finally emerged from the village, but they couldn't help him at all. For Shi Jian to reach the Blood Moving Realm's extreme, this sounded like an extraordinary feat. With such ambition from the child, they, as elders, should support him. But Shi Village simply couldn't compare to those major powers! If Shi Jian hadn't mentioned it, the Old Village Chief wouldn't even have known about the Blood Moving Realm's extreme, let alone helping him.

Shi Jian looked at the somewhat self-reproaching Old Village Chief, and his heart warmed:

"Cultivating to the Blood Moving extreme relies on personal Dao, Opportunity, perseverance, and Aptitude, none of which can be lacking... How can it be a Realm achieved merely by some true blood and precious medicine?" Shi Jian comforted the Old Village Chief.

"Shi Village has done its best to give me the finest things. How can this sentiment compare to those precious blood and Spirit Medicine? Moreover, if I am truly extraordinary, I can still rise even without precious blood and great medicine! Conversely, no matter how much of these things there are, they are merely superficial!"

Shi Jian had his own unique circumstances, so he didn't demand much from ordinary spiritual items. Only those top-tier treasures could benefit his cultivation. But those top-tier treasures were all rare and hard to come by. Let alone Shi Village, even those great sects couldn't afford them. Furthermore, the Old Village Chief had already done his utmost to give him the best; this sentiment was incomparable to even those top-tier treasures! How could Shi Jian be unsatisfied?

Feeling Shi Jian's confidence, Old Village Chief Shi Yunfeng's originally hunched body straightened up a bit!

"Good child, good child!" The Old Village Chief patted Shi Jian's shoulder, praising him repeatedly. To be able to suppress others even without precious blood and great medicine—this was a child of Shi Village. Seeing Shi Jian like this, the Old Village Chief knew he no longer needed to worry about Shi Jian. He then turned his gaze to Shi Hao:

"Little Stone's Aptitude is no less than yours was back then. In another two years, it will be time for his baptism and transformation, as well as for the other children in the village!"

"I want to ask you to hunt some Ancient Remnants and refine some precious blood to prepare for their baptism!" The Old Village Chief requested. He had come to Shi Jian today precisely to discuss this matter. However, he had originally planned to have Shi Jian hunt some ordinary giant beasts. Although the essence blood extracted from ordinary giant beasts was a bit inferior, more could be accumulated. It was just that he hadn't expected Shi Jian's strength to be so formidable. He had previously thought Shi Jian had at most a little over ten thousand catties of strength. Now that Shi Jian's strength was so great, they could set their target higher! Hunting Primordial Remnants.

In the Great Wilderness, there were many Primordial Remnants. Not all Primordial Remnants were extremely powerful. Like the Suan Ni, even at its Peak, it had not stepped into the Inscription Realm. Let alone other ordinary Primordial Remnants! Weaker Primordial Remnants could be hunted by Shi Jian with his strength.

Hearing the Old Village Chief's request, Shi Jian smiled: "I was just planning to do so. In the past, the village protected me; now that I have strength, I naturally must do something for the village!"

"However, after this busy period, I might have to leave the village and travel outside!"

The reason Shi Jian told the Old Village Chief about his strength was because he had thoughts of leaving Shi Village. His current strength made it no longer suitable for him to remain in the village. Shi Jian also wanted to see the outside world. He revealed his strength for fear that the Old Village Chief would worry. Shi Jian planned to leave after helping Shi Hao complete his baptism. Although he wanted to help Shi Hao, he wasn't going to be Shi Hao's babysitter. Shi Hao had his own Opportunities. How could he transform into Wild Heaven Emperor if he didn't experience those things? Shi Jian could support Shi Hao at crucial moments, but he couldn't possibly help Shi Hao with everything. If he always relied on others for help, would he still be Wild Heaven Emperor?
