Expelled from the Void God Realm

"Senior Sisters, do you know Senior Sister Xia Youyu?" Shi Hao suddenly asked.

The Heaven Mending Pavilion members' eyes lit up. So he knew Xia Youyu—this would be much easier.

The Goddess of War, meanwhile, was stunned. Of course she knew Xia Youyu, and they were on fairly good terms. After all, the Heaven Mending Pavilion and Deer Hunting Academy were less than a hundred thousand li apart.

Wait, wasn't the Heaven Mending Pavilion moving a little fast? Since when had this happened?!

"So you know Senior Sister," a female disciple said with a giggle. "She didn't come in this time, but you can visit her at the Heaven Mending Pavilion."

"Young friend, wait a moment. A Pure Land may not suit everyone; Ancient Aristocratic Families have more resources," an elder said, unable to hold himself back. A genius like this had to be recruited.

"Lots of resources? Are you the family head or a Supreme Elder? Can you make that decision?" Shi Jue asked.

Indeed, Ancient Aristocratic Families did not accept as many disciples as Pure Lands did, but their resources were generally reserved for their own people. As for disciples recruited from outside, whether they would remain in the future was uncertain, and most were treated perfunctorily.

Although Pure Lands had many disciples and fierce competition, it was relatively more suitable to fight for resources through one's own strength than to join some aristocratic family.

The elder's expression stiffened. Shi Jue had hit the nail on the head. He was neither the family head nor a Supreme Elder, merely a steward with a little authority. What he had said was nothing more than an empty promise; he definitely could not guarantee it completely.

Deer Hunting Academy and the Heaven Mending Pavilion had never made any guarantees from the start. Even geniuses would not be granted special privileges casually. Only by truly displaying their value could they receive preferential resources.

"Ahem, there are many young ladies in Ancient Aristocratic Families. If you are capable enough, you could even make one of them your Dao Companion," the elder said with an awkward laugh.

Shi Jue froze for a moment, then decisively shook his head.

"Forget it. I can see it now—you aristocratic families are just making empty promises. I'm not falling for that. I haven't decided which faction to join yet."

There were plenty of beautiful women. He did not need to look for one this way.

"My brother and I are the same. We'll think it over first, then decide where to join," Shi Hao said with a shrug, pretending to hesitate.

"Fine!"

Although they knew Shi Hao would most likely join the Heaven Mending Pavilion, they did not shamelessly pester him. As ancient families and ancient Pure Lands, they cared about their reputations as well.

Shi Jue's fame this time was not as great as Shi Hao's. After all, the record Shi Hao had broken had once been held by Shi Yi. Shi Yi possessed Double-Pupils and was praised as someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with divine beings; in many people's eyes, he was an insurmountable existence. Yet the mythic record he had maintained had been broken by Shi Hao.

The Rain Clan and Martial King's Mansion members all looked livid.

"Investigate it. Find out exactly where that Milk Baby came from, and that Big Black Hand too. He actually broke the speed record—the one Shi Yi had failed to break. Investigate him while you're at it."

Shi Yi's glory was their glory, and his rising status was largely due to Shi Yi's existence. Now that someone had appeared who had broken Shi Yi's record, their expressions naturally looked terrible. Shi Jue was merely an incidental target.

"Are we still staying here? More and more people are coming," Shi Jue said calmly, folding his arms and looking around.

That was only natural. Shi Yi's record had been broken, and Ancient Kingdoms, Pure Lands, and aristocratic families had all been shaken. They sent people to investigate one after another. The Rain Clan and Martial King's Mansion likely had their suspicions already. Of all the records, it was Shi Yi's that had been broken—it was difficult not to think of Little Stone from back then.

"No rush. I'll pry off a few more Treasure Bones," Shi Hao said, shaking his head. He crouched atop the huge bluestone, tapping it here and there as he considered which Treasure Bone to choose.

"Fine, as long as you're happy," Shi Jue said speechlessly. Next, Shi Hao would be expelled from the Void God Realm.

Boom!

Shi Hao picked a spot. His hand was wrapped in runes as he struck down with all his strength, instantly shattering the entire bluestone into pieces.

"Damn, this is Divine Gold!"

The green radiance flashing from the cracks immediately caught Shi Jue's attention. He swiftly pried it out. It was the size of a fist, heavy as lead, and weighed several hundred jin. Though it was not Immortal Gold, it was still quite precious and could be forged into a weapon.

But Shi Jue soon realized something. This seemed to be a spiritual world, meaning that although everything appeared tangible, it basically could not be taken out.

Only certain special items could be carried out using the Primordial Spirit. The Treasure Medicine here could be absorbed and feed back into the physical body, but he did not think his teeth were good enough to chew through a chunk of Divine Gold.

Damn it, he had gotten excited for nothing.

"Damn it, that brat is truly an outrage to gods and men! He shattered the Initial Ground passage again."

"Wait, isn't that a kind of Divine Gold in Big Black Hand's hand? The Initial Ground even has that?"

"Looks like it. I want to give it a try too!"

"You should first see whether you have the ability. That brat's physical strength has probably reached the limit of the Blood Moving Realm."

Holding the Treasure Bone he had pried loose, Shi Hao stared unhappily overhead and muttered, "Why are you warning me? It never said people weren't allowed to shatter the Initial Ground passage. This isn't fair."

At that moment, a dark cloud floated above Shi Hao's head. It was the Void God Realm warning him.

"Hahaha, retribution has finally come for that freakish kid!"

"The Void God Realm is quite fair after all. It actually warned that brat."

"Hehehe..."

The envious crowd finally felt much more balanced, as though every pore in their bodies had opened up.

Shi Jue could not help but laugh. He could not laugh; he had to give the future Desolate Heavenly Emperor some face.

Boom!

As everyone laughed loudly, Shi Hao grew displeased. Looking at the conspicuous stele, he immediately threw a heavy punch at it, producing an earth-shaking roar.

"That brat!"

Bird Lord and Crystal Wall Grandfather both felt their old teeth ache. He was truly bold beyond measure, always causing trouble and capable of anything.

"Damn, that brat actually smashed the Record Stele to pieces! Is that the strength of a Humanoid Ferocious Beast?"

"More than that. He's simply a World-Wreaking Great Demon King. There's nothing he wouldn't dare do."

"Wait... look at what it says up there. Hahaha, retribution has really come!"

A new stele appeared, displaying Shi Hao's new record: Shattering the Initial Ground Record Stele. Severe warning. Loves Eating Beast Milk was hereby expelled from the Void God Realm for two years, and Yin was expelled from the Void God Realm for one year.

"???"

Shi Jue was instantly dumbfounded, his head full of question marks. What did this have to do with him? Shi Hao had caused the damage, so why was he being expelled along with him?

"Damn it, why are you expelling me? I didn't smash any stele!" Shi Jue cursed loudly.

Bird Lord and Crystal Wall Grandfather snickered. They had arranged this. Both of them were dangerous elements. He had not done anything this time, but who knew whether he would in the future? Better to expel him first as a warning.
