"Two years have passed, it's time to go home. It wouldn't be good to go back empty-handed. I heard a Mountain Treasure is about to appear deep within the Great Wilderness."
Shi Hao's thoughts were simple. He felt it would be awkward to go home empty-handed. He left very casually, but returning felt embarrassing.
So, he wanted to bring back a gift. He'd visit his family and, at the same time, use the gift to prove he wasn't a harbinger of misfortune.
He wasn't wrong in thinking this way.
During these past two years, Shi Hao had been training in the Great Wilderness. Although there were moments of danger, there were no real threats. He'd had a smooth journey, breaking through to the Ninth Heavenly Cave, and he was only a step away from the Tenth.
If Shi Hao hadn't wanted to avoid losing to Shi Yi, to his own brother, he would have broken through to the Transformation Realm long ago, given his talent. He wouldn't still be in the Heavenly Cave Realm after two years of training.
However, sometimes,
It's not that you don't do anything, it's just that good intentions can lead to bad outcomes.
Great Wilderness, Wild Region, Eight Regions, Lower Realm.
"Two years have passed, and he hasn't stepped outside his door. Has our Mountain Treasure forgery been discovered?"
The speaker wasn't human, but a hundred-meter-tall beast.
It had the body of a tiger or leopard, with long, strong limbs. It had a dragon's head and tail, and its scales were both gold and jade. A pair of wings sprouted from its shoulders, and a single horn tilted back from its dragon head.
This was a Pi Xiu, a fully grown Pi Xiu.
"It's possible. Although the appearance of things like Mountain Treasure doesn't have a set time, the fact that they've appeared twice in such a short time makes it easy to arouse suspicion."
The Bi An, with a tiger's body and a dragon's head, coiled on the open ground. Its massive body resembled a mountain, and its limbs were tucked under its belly, giving it a somewhat comical appearance.
"You're overthinking it. In the face of opportunity, all living beings have no bottom line. I think perhaps the Mountain Treasure we fabricated doesn't have enough appeal for him. Someone who eats meat wouldn't travel thousands of miles for a single grain of rice."
The Ya Zi, with a jackal's body and a dragon's head, revealed intelligent eyes the size of a truck's tires. It immediately saw through the reason why the three brothers had been waiting for two years without any results.
"But the Mountain Treasure is too powerful. It could attract the Great Wilderness's Four Great Ferocious Beasts, and it would be difficult for us to deal with them. The human race isn't united, and the ferocious beasts are even less likely to be." The adult Pi Xiu sighed, shaking its head.
"The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow and Qiong Qi aren't worth mentioning, but the Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan…"
Bi An opened its blood-red mouth, its massive body rising from the ground, releasing a terrifying aura. It was completely devoid of the initially adorable appearance.
Just as Bi An was about to speak some harsh words…
The adult Pi Xiu suddenly jumped in place.
It sensed the arrival of an unexpected person, and this person was someone it had never considered. It hadn't waited for Shi Yi, but instead, this culprit had arrived.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, I have good news! Although we didn't manage to lure Shi Yi over, we successfully tricked his younger brother, Shi Hao, into coming," the adult Pi Xiu said, his tone slightly excited.
"Shi Hao?" Bi An didn't understand.
"Second Brother, this Shi Hao is the one who killed our Third Brother's only son, Little Pi Xiu. He's also the grandson of the great demon, Shi Zhongtian," Ya Zi explained slowly.
"Since we can't trick Shi Yi, let's go after his brother," Bi An said coldly.
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, there's no need to be impatient. I have a plan that will make Shi Yi walk right into our trap," the adult Pi Xiu suddenly said.
"Third Brother, what's your plan? Hurry up and tell us," Ya Zi urged.
"Third Brother, stop being so mysterious," Bi An's face also showed impatience.
Ya Zi had the body of a jackal and the head of a dragon, while Bi An had the body of a tiger and the head of a dragon.
These two pure-blooded ferocious beasts both possessed True Dragon bloodlines. Their strength surpassed even adult Pi Xiu by a significant margin. Of the four great ferocious beasts of the Great Wilderness, they only feared the Vermilion Bird and the Zhu Yan.
These three pure-blooded ferocious beasts were not only close friends but had also sworn brotherhood in their early years. Ya Zi was the eldest, followed by Bi An, and then the adult Pi Xiu, who was the youngest.
"The old plan, using a relative as bait, to lure out Shi Yi."
At this moment, Shi Hao didn't know that because of a casual thought of his, the Great Wilderness would once again be plunged into a bloody storm. Countless living beings would perish in the vast Great Wilderness.
He was walking enthusiastically towards the depths of the Great Wilderness where the Mountain Treasure was said to appear, completely unaware of the dangers ahead. Two years had passed, and he had forgotten his ability to attract disaster.
Wild Region, Stone Country, King Wu's Mansion. Two years wasn't a long time. King Wu's Mansion had gradually recovered from its past trauma. The remaining young generation of the Rain Clan had now completely integrated into King Wu's Mansion.
Although Shi Yi was nominally in charge, he was too lazy to manage many things, basically leaving it to Yu Yuexian and Qin Yining to handle.
During these two years, with the introduction of the Sixteenth Princess, Shi Yi had also gradually become familiar with Moon Chan Fairy and Heavenly Fox Fairy.
Currently, including Shi Yi, the Sixteenth Princess, Moon Chan Fairy, and Heavenly Fox Fairy, the four of them are sitting together discussing the Dao leisurely.
Beside Shi Yi was the lively Heavenly Fox Fairy. She was resting her chin on her hand, staring at Shi Yi with bright, sparkling eyes.
Being watched like this for the better part of a day, Shi Yi felt as though even his underpants had been seen through. But he didn't dare ask what she was looking at.
Across from Shi Yi.
The Sixteenth Princess's gentle temperament made people feel an urge to cherish her. She was somewhat similar to Yu Yuexian in some ways, and she listened to Shi Yi very well, truly a good wife and mother material.
Finally, there was the ethereal Moon Chan Fairy, aloof and independent. Even though she was sitting right across, she always felt distant, as if they were never from the same world.
"Shi Yi, what does the Immortal look like in your eyes?"
Moon Chan Fairy's voice was clear and lucid, like a stream flowing through one's heart, making one want to prostrate themselves in worship.
"Why do you ask, Fairy?" Shi Yi frowned.
This Moon Chan Fairy was truly a fairy.
Although Shi Yi didn't understand why she wore a transparent veil, half-concealing her face like a pipa player, it didn't matter.
The fairy truly aroused a desire to conquer. At first sight, Shi Yi was already thinking of names for their children.
This wasn't shameless.
Nor was it despicable.
At least Shi Yi dared to think, and if given the opportunity, he would dare to act. Many people couldn't even dream of it when they saw a beautiful woman; they were filled with self-doubt, which was truly pitiful.
"It's simple. Becoming a god is only a matter of time for both of us. The foundation of the Ten Heavenly Caves is enough to take us to the peak of the human path. The only thing we need to worry about is the Celestial Tribulation," Moon Chan Fairy explained softly.
Two years passed.
She had almost forgotten why she came to the Wild Region's Stone Country in the first place: to find the incomplete Dao scripture. Now, she only wanted to know one thing, why did Shi Yi attract the attention of the Demoness, the Heavenly Fox Fairy, so much?
What Moon Chan Fairy didn't know was this.
The reason why Shi Yi attracted the Heavenly Fox Fairy's attention wasn't because of his personal charm, but rather his series of strange behaviors. These actions made her increasingly curious about this man.
Curiosity didn't necessarily mean affection.
But a lack of curiosity definitely meant a lack of affection.
Besides cultivating, Shi Yi had also done many strange things in these two years.
First of all, he learned every kind of technique, regardless of its quality.
Next, he proposed that the human race should have its own precious techniques.
She felt…
Shi Yi was doing something very new, something no one had ever done before.
This man…
Was very interesting!
"Becoming a Celestial…"
Heavenly Fox Fairy glanced at the Sixteenth Princess beside her. She felt that this woman's mentality was extraordinary; no matter the time or place, she always seemed so calm.
Of the four present, only she found it difficult even to become a god, let alone a Celestial. Yet, she remained self-possessed, not feeling a shred of inferiority because of her unremarkable talent.
