Chapter 62 (2/2)
The stone mansion was filled with a dazzling splendor. All kinds of holy light flew about while it overshadowing the daylight. It covered the entire mansion, and it was absolutely impossible to see anything else.
“Two hearts beat as one!” Finally, the little guy’s mother entered the battle as well. She held him as she entered the battlefield to cooperate with Shi Ziling, and they were going to activate a precious technique that could shake the entire empire.
Unfortunately, the little guy couldn’t see anything. The only thing that entered his eyes was the light caused by the precious technique. It was gorgeous to the point of making people’s hearts shudder. The entire world was dyed in a faint gold by this divine and holy light.
Finally, he passed out in his mother’s bosoms because he was too weak. Right before he shut his large eyes, he saw his young older brother on the outskirts of the battle.
Although Shi Yi had many of his bones broken, his spiritual essence did not weaken. His dual pupils were still deep and profound as he stared at Shi Ziling with a chilly look. Then he turned to look at the little guy and a smirk was formed at his mouth. His eyes contained a glittering radiance that shunned the entire world. After looking at the little guy for only a moment, he lost interest.
Since the little guy was at his last breath and lost his Supreme Being Bone, his life was basically lost and was unworthy of his interest.
For a long time after that, the little guy was in a dizzy state. He lingered around on the brink of life and death, and was became incredibly weak. His life force seemed like it could dry up at any moment and he didn’t know what was happening in front of him at all.
Once he woke up again, he had already arrived in a wild and desolate land that was far away from the vast ancient country. They had left the bustling empire to a place that held a world of difference.
They arrived at a large shabby manor. This was the recovery place for the ancestors of the Stone Family, and could be considered as a second ancestral land.
“Ziling, you’re truly exceptional!” An elder with white hair and bear patted his old desk in excitement. He was also furious and said, “If I was fifty years younger and had your power, I would wreak havoc within the empire as well. They dare to bully the people of our family?!”
Shi Ziling shook head and his face was somewhat pale.
An elderly old man opened his mouth and said, “To go as far as sending you to this bitter land, they are truly excessive. You’re still so young!”
“That’s right. They call this their second ancestral land, but what is it really? It’s cold and barren. This place isn’t a happy paradise at all, and it absolutely isn’t suitable for long term cultivation.
This shabby second ancestral land was located on the outskirts of the desolate lands. Only those who committed huge blunders or provoked some huge disaster would be exiled to this place.
“This was the agreement I had with them. Little Hao is to be raised here.” Shi Ziling said.
“Isn’t that the same thing? You’re being exiled to this place!” An elder angrily said, and then asked in confusion, “What did they give you after all was said and done?”
“If little Hao could recover his exuberant life force, they would return his Supreme Being Bone right away.” Shi Ziling said.
“Child, how can you believe such things? This is just their way of stalling. With little Hao’s injuries like this, even if he could live on, he absolutely wouldn’t be able to nourish a Supreme Being Bone!” The elder beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Apart from the servants here, there were four special elders. They were all characters who were once famed for their outstanding performance and had extremely high positions in the family. The only thing was that they committed some huge mistakes in the past, and were exiled to this wild and desolate land.
If not for the fact that they didn’t want to make their heirs’ lives complicated, they would have escaped a long time ago since their cultivation levels were extremely frightening. Many years passed by in a flash, and those people were already in their declining years without much time left.
“The four elders gave me a ruined drawing behind everyone’s back and told me if I could find the real ancestral land of our clan, then perhaps little Hao could recover there.” said Shi Ziling lightly.
A look of concern lingered over his wife who stood at the side while holding the weak little guy. A smile hadn’t appear on her beautiful face for a long time.
“What, our clan’s real ancestral land?” Several elders all widened their eyes since that wasn’t an ordinary place. There were many mysteries and legends that talked about the first ancestors of the Stone Clan originating from that place. They founded the endless glory and established the ancient country.
Those people were all excited. That ancestral land was attached to the hearts of many people within the Stone Clan. It held many mysteries, and there were rumors of that place being able to give birth to saints! However, their ancestors severed connections with that place, and it became impossible to find.
“Is that real or fake, they’re not lying to you right?” One of the elders wasn’t very convinced.
“No matter what, I have to give it a try and use my greatest effort to restore Hao’er!” Shi Ziling’s face was unwavering and determined.
“What if you can’t find it?” An elder mentioned.
“Then I’ll look for an ancient sacred mountain within the vast reaches of the wasteland and find a divine medicine. I absolutely won’t allow Hao’er to fall into oblivion like this!” Shi Ziling said.
His wife who stood by his side nodded. Her beautiful eyes was brimming with determination as she held the little guy.
The elders immediately jumped in fear. They all opened their mouths and solemnly warned.
“Ziling, don’t just randomly do things. An ancient sacred mountain isn’t a place you can just randomly walk into. There might be a Genuine Hou, Golden Winged Peng and those types of creatures living there. You’d be throwing your life away!”
Shi Ziling was always researching that diagram. If it wasn’t his last resort, he naturally wouldn’t step into an ancient sacred mountain. He still hoped that he could find the ancestral land.
“If Hao’er died, then my life and death struggle with them will be imminent. I will kill until their world is turned upside down!” Shi Ziling’s gaze was terrifying as he exposed his frightening aura.
“According to the promise, Hao’er should remain here in order to recover. They acted like this because they don’t feel at ease around you. This is their way of putting you under control, and they fear that you might go back and start killing everything” said an elder.
“I won’t allow Hao’er to stay here!” Shi Ziling naturally wasn’t that type of inflexible person.
“Let’s do this, let’s not give them any excuses. If we can’t be certain whether or not you can cure Hao’er, then we’ll find a child as a substitute. In the future, we must get back that Supreme Being Bone!”
…
Afterwards, Shi Ziling and his wife experienced countless trials and tribulations in order to find Stone Village. When they saw the scorched black willow tree, they were truly shocked. They were very powerful, so they naturally found out that this tree was extraordinary.
However, they were disappointed at everything else in Stone Village.
A gust of wind blew by and dispersed the mist. Under the willow tree, the little guy stood in isolation with tears all over his face.
After a long while, the willow tree finally asked him, “How do you feel?”
“My heart aches so much. Father, mother, where are you right now?” The little guy continuously wept.
“You really are a kindhearted child, you aren’t aroused by the hatred, and you haven’t lost your reasoning to seek revenge.” The willow tree transmitted its voice through, and then it said once again, “You lost the Supreme Being Bone, don’t you hate it? The brilliance of Shi Yi will certainly be world-shaking. He would be enveloped in endless divine glory, and an ordinary person could never hope to look up to him.
The little guy naturally knew that Shi Yi’s destiny was bound to surpass ordinary people, andhe could picture Shi Yi’s glory transcending the earth.
He calmed replied, “Isn’t it just a bone? Supreme Being isn’t a title that can be bestowed, it’s not something that a piece bone can decide. It’s something that you create yourself by taking one step at a time.”
“Since you are able to speak such words, then I’ll tell you a secret.”The willow tree was very happy and reassuring.
“What secret?” The little guy was astonished.
“Have you ever seen wilted grass and dried wood prosper again?” asked the willow tree.
