Chapter 58 - Shi Ziling (1/2)
The mansion was grand and magnificent, and majestic palace halls decorated the interior. Its grandeur was boundless, and it was just like a heavenly temple situated in the human world. It was dyed under the golden radiance of the sunset, solemn and serene. It gave people a spiritual mood, making them want to bow down and worship it.
However, under this blessed atmosphere, a dark wave was billowing within this building. Great waves of darkness rushed forth, and killing intent permeated the huge palace hall. Within one of the palace halls, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and ten or so elders were sitting upright. Symbols flickered about, and they could erupt at any time.
The little guy was on the verge of death. His Supreme Being Bone was taken out, and this matter shook the higher officials. These elders who all had high positions were dragged out, as this matter could not be concealed from them.
These tens of people were ordinarily in isolation, and did not partake in any worldly affairs to the point where some of these elders had not appeared in front of the tribe for over twenty years. However, they were all disturbed from their isolation, and were asked to come out from seclusion.
“A natural born Supreme Being was unexpected injured by the tribe. Did the sky turn upside down? Kill this woman by death of a thousand cuts right away!” An elder was absolutely furious.
“Her grandfather and clansman aren’t simple people; they are quite strong. If we kill without saying a word, it will be rather troublesome. The inner members of the capital were already discussing this matter. Words will spread like wind, if we explain about this matter, the news of the Supreme Being Bone will inevitably be exposed to the world.” Another elder gently said.
“Even if the emperor did this, he would still have to explain it to everyone under the sky, let alone her family. You want to hide this matter, so you place emotion over reason and bend the law to help your own?” cried out an elder on the side. His eyes contained the sun, moon and stars, and the aura he gave off even twisted the tables.
The palace hall was covered in terrifying dense symbols.Electricity interwove, and the smell of conflict was dense to the extreme.
The little guy was at his last breath, and was carried within an individual’s chest. He was currently protected by a divine light that was as vigorous as the ocean, nourishing his life force and preventing his weak essence from dying out.
“She will naturally be dealt with, so we can talk about it later. Right now, the important matter is not losing the Supreme Being Bone. A Supreme Being that belongs to our Stone Tribe cannot simply disappear because of this.” spoke an elder with a penetrating gaze. His scarlet body seemed like it was bathed in a heavenly flame, and he was calm and steady.
“Fifth elder, what do you mean?” The elder that looked like a golden lion shouted as he stood up, “We have to take it out and put it inside Shi Hao to let him continue growing it. This belongs to him, no one else should think about taking it!”
“If it’s taken out, it’ll be difficult for it to continue growing right away.”
“Just because little Yi is part of your family, you have to protect him until the end. The Supreme Being Bone should belongs to whom it rightfully belongs to!”
Divine light flashed between these two people and the palace hall rumbled like mountains; the entire holy palace hall was shaking.
“Fourth brother, it’s not because I gave in to bribes.” The elder who looked like a Blood Phoenix stood up and pointed towards the little guy and said, “You guys look. This child is so weak and feeble. Even though he is being fed precious medicine daily, it’s still hard for him to recover. How can he nourish the Supreme Being Bone?”
With these words, the quarreling sounds suddenly lessened. Many people stopped talking because this was the truth.Whether or not the little guy could still live was hard to say.
“In my opinion, I’d rather not want the Supreme Being Bone than break tribe rules. Behead that mother and child!” An elder with a fiery temper said.
After saying this, everyone jumped a bit in fear. Not only would the tribe lose a Supreme Being, the double pupil child will have to perish as well?
“Second brother, calm down. Little Yi is still an ignorant child. This matter is unrelated to him. He is like the ancient saints and possess a deity’s potential. In the future, he will eventually disdain ten thousand tribes. Don’t involve this with him.” A few people reconciled.
“Ignorant child? How does he even resemble one! After he came back, he was desperate and put a knife to his throat and said if his mother dies, he would die with her. This kind of crime, how can we let that vile women go and make everything go her way?” said the elder coldly. His entire body was covered in a brilliant splendor like a river of stars, and it circulated with frightening power.
“We can push back the topic on how to handle that vile women until later. Right now, we need to first talk about the Supreme Being Bone.”
Many people were silent within the palace hall. No matter what, they couldn’t bear to see both children being wasted. The strongest bloodlines must continue.
“The Supreme Being Bone is already implanted within little Yi’s body, how are the results?” Right at this moment, the one with the highest seniority, an old man who hasn’t left his private dwelling for thirty year suddenly opened his eyes like the emergence of two golden suns. Splendid rays of light burst forth causing rumbling sounds that terrified others to an extreme.
Everyone suddenly calmed down and no longer quarreled.
“It already fused together with little Yi and gained the nourishment of his flesh and blood. You already can’t tell that it once belonged to another person; the results were astonishing. It was like it was born naturally within his body,” said the fifth elder.
Everyone’s hearts trembled and felt emotional; it actually succeeded. Double pupil in addition to the Supreme Being Bone, how high will he reach in the future? That kind of accomplishment was simply inconceivable.
“We’ll talk about this in a few days, let’s end this today for now,” said another elder. His position was incredibly ancient, and he also had not shown his face for twenty to thirty years.
Everyone nodded. The fourth elder who seemed like a golden lion and that elder with the fiery temperament were speechless. They knew that the tribe would not allow the Supreme Being Bone and the dual pupils perish.
Several days later, news came through. The Supreme Being Bone was unaffected within Shi Yi’s body. It was bound by a powerful life force and was practically fused into his body.
“Spiteful!” The fourth elder lightly bellowed. He knew that he lacked the power to reverse this desperate situation, and what this signified was obvious. He held the feeble little guy with an unpleasant emotion.
The little guy’s aura was weak. His eyes were dim without expression. Although he was nourished by the spiritual essence of the tribe’s experts, it was still difficult for him to make a recovery. Everyone sighed within their hearts.
The clansman found many spiritual medicines, but they were all useless. It was hard for him to recover. His little face was pale and he was continuously coughing, and would often shiver with coldness all over.
After half a month, his state worsened. His large eyes did not contain a trace of brilliance and looked even sicklier, as if he could die at any time.
Moreover, at midnight, the little guy’s bones would creak and his entire body would decrease in size. His entire body lost its spiritual essence, and it severely degenerated.
He was clearly eight to nine months old, but because of his critical injuries, he seemed like he became several months younger. His body worsened by the day.
“Are you… my fourth grandpa?” The little guy laid on his bed and opened his emotionless and expressionless eyes as he feebly asked.
He continued to degenerate. It was as if there was a bottomless pit within his body eating away at his blood essence and bones. He seemed like he was only a few months old and did not seem as intelligence as he was before, practically unable to recognize the people beside him.
The elder was heartbroken and unceasingly lightly patted him and coaxed him to sleep.
“Why am I almost forgetting the people beside me? It’s becoming more and more fuzzy…” The little guy tried his best to recollect his memory, but his eyes became increasingly bewildered.
He was clearly an intelligent and lively child, but now he became like this. It made the servants sad, and it was difficult for them to watch this.
After several days, even talking became a strenuous task. His eyes lost all traces of light. He looked at the little girl who stood beside his bed and asked in confusion, “Sister, who are you?”
The pretty little girl wiped away her tears and light replied, “I’m sister Mang, young master, how could you not remember me?”
