Chapter 67 - Silly From Studying (2/2)
Then, he entered the water again to rapid chase and catch another huge 200 jin golden fish that emitted a sweet scent, directly tossing it onto the shore.
“Wow, it’s a fish king. Several tens of jins were already considered big before. I never thought that this kind of precious fish could grow this big!”
“Little guy, there are many large fish. I just saw over twenty that were at least this big. Catch them quickly!”
The group of children shouted and cried. Fish kings like these definitely had extremely good medicinal properties. Once they were eaten, it could significantly increase their blood aura and strengthen them considerably.
The little guy didn’t continue catching them at all, but leapt to the shore instead. It wasn’t easy for the dark blue lake to give birth to such precious fish. He shouldn’t catch all the fish king since they had to lay their eggs first.
“Grandpa, I want to take a long journey away from home.” After the little guy finished dinner, he suddenly spoke these words.
The chief’s rough hands trembled and raised his head before asking, “Child, you’re so young. Your cultivation still hasn’t truly reached the point where you can go wherever you wish in these desolate lands. Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t truly want to leave Stone Village, and I only want to finish the self-improvement process explained by Willow Deity. I want to travel around and quickly return,” the little guy gently said.
Although he was leaving for self-improvement, the location was still up to him to decide.
His eyes were filled with mist as he recalled his missing his parents and relatives. It’s been over a year since they departed, but Shi Ziling unexpectedly never returned; he was incredibly worried.
“Child, you’re not going to go to the ancient country right?” The chief was concerned, since how could a little child like him go alone into such a powerful kingdom. It was truly too unrealistic.
The little guy shook his head and said, “I won’t take any risks. I’m only going near the great desolate area’s borders. Willow Deity told me to fight with ferocious beasts of the desolate wastelands, and sharpen and improve under dangerous situations. Only like that could I solidify my comprehension and quickly mature.”
Right now he had already re-cultivated the Blood Transformation realm into perfection. He followed the Willow Deity’s warning and didn’t rush his breakthrough. He paused his cultivation in this realm for another month in order to experience more, and comprehending more would benefit his future cultivation.
The little guy wanted to go take a look at the second ancestral land. There were a few accomplished elders in the banished land, and they once chatted very agreeably with his parents. They should know where his parents went in the end.
The child had been away from his parents for many years. When he found out that they were searching for a holy medicine for his sake, and even braved death to enter an ancient divine mountain, it was easy to imagine how much longing and worry was in his heart.
Perhaps he couldn’t do anything, but he wanted to hear about their whereabouts. He was brimming with emotions, and he longed for his relatives. Even if he couldn’t see them, obtaining even the slightest bit of information about them would be comforting.
Besides, there was another child who substituted for him there and was sent to the desolate land as punishment. He didn’t know whether the child lived his life comfortably or in danger. The little guy was a rather emotional person, and felt that a child shouldn’t have deserved such a fate.
“Child, it’s too far. This journey is too dangerous!” The chief didn’t agree.
“Although it’s far, this path really isn’t impossible to overcome. Through my unconscious memory, Willow Deity once estimated that there was a distance of 300,000 li between here and there,” the little guy said.
The second ancestral land was located in the ancient country’s borders, and it was savage and cold. Its distance from the ancestral land was truly not too far, only 300,000 li. Clearly, the Stone Clan’s people were always searching for their roots.
Over 300,000 li away compared to the ancient country’s vast and boundless territory really wasn’t much, but to a child like the little guy who had never journeyed far away, it was truly an astronomical number.
“You never traveled so far away before. How can I feel at ease?” The chief didn’t agree.
After a short while, the villagers all found out and also firmly opposed. This long and dangerous road was fraught with dangers. A single accident would spell certain death within the mountain ranges.
“Willow Deity said that this was a very important part of training, and demanded me to take this journey,” said the little guy.
When the villagers heard, they immediately became silent. The scorched black willow tree was a supreme being in their hearts. It truly would do no good to oppose its words.
“This kind of training, you can refuse. You don’t have to accept it. I’m only training you in accordance to the methods used by the young of the Genuine Hou, Suan Ni and other Archaic Vicious beasts. 300,000 li is truly very terrifying. There are many strange species within the great desolate lands. If you suddenly meet one without prior avoidance, it would become really dangerous,” Willow Deity said.
During the ancient era, all kinds of supremely powerful creatures was very harsh towards their heirs. For the sake of their maturity and becoming an unparalleled power in the future, they would often undergo hellish training.
They had to travel alone within the desolate wasteland, with ferocious beasts everywhere. They had to journey through the incredibly dangerous mountain ranges, and this was an enormous trial. Although they didn’t have explicit enemies, this was possibly even more dangerous.
The Willow Deity’s training fundamentally couldn’t be measured with the average villager as the norm. Everything was done according to the world’s most powerful species.
“I’ll give it a try. If it’s truly impossible, I won’t take any risks and return early.” The little guy’s gaze was unwavering.
In his subconscious memory, his grandfather once killed the young of a Pi Xiu with extremely pure blood in the Hundred Clan Battlefield. Thinking back, it was definitely because the supremely powerful vicious beast deliberated released its heir inside to conduct cruel training.
“I can do it too!” The little guy clenched his fists and encouraged himself as he wished to journey in the direction of the ancient country.
