"Peak Spirit Transformation Realm—quite a bit higher than where I am now." Shi Hao looked solemn. Even though he had reached 128,000 jin in the Blood Moving Realm, he had never underestimated Shi Yi. On the contrary, he took him very seriously.
Even if Shi Yi could not perfectly wield that Supreme Bone, the Double-Pupil physique was no weaker than the Supreme Bone. The Precious Techniques it contained were even more formidable, and not limited to a single kind—they encompassed both offense and defense. Shi Yi himself was hailed as a godlike youth, leaving behind countless legends. Throughout the entire lower realm, everyone knew of him.
Moreover, Shi Hao guessed that Shi Yi had reached 100,000 jin in the Blood Moving Realm, which might make him slightly weaker than Shi Hao. But Shi Yi likely had his own exceptional traits in the Cave Heaven Realm as well. Ten Heavenly Passages were surely the minimum.
"In a frontal clash, I'm no match for Shi Yi. But if I strike from the shadows, I might have a chance. It depends on how well he has mastered the Double-Pupil. Its abilities are still quite troublesome." Shi Jue did not feel ashamed to admit that he was inferior.
Shi Hao had been weak for several years after his Supreme Bone was dug out, while Shi Jue had begun cultivating at roughly the same time as Shi Hao. Shi Yi had started several years before them, so it was only natural that he had achieved this much. Catching up was hardly an impossible dream.
"Old friend, what do you think of these two little fellows?"
While both the Void God Realm and the outside world were abuzz over Shi Hao and Shi Jue heading to Heaven Mending Pavilion,
Bird Lord and Crystal Wall Grandfather were also discussing the two. Unlike their usual selves, their eyes were now filled with the vicissitudes of time, mysterious Great Dao runes flowing within them.
"They are people favored by the Ancestor Spirit. In the future, they will at least reach the level of Immortal Kings, though they are still too young."
Crystal Wall Grandfather said with a chuckle. At times they were muddled, at times lucid, but they still possessed the perspective of Immortal Kings. Compared to the monsters they had once seen, these two were certainly lacking, but they were still young. Who could say what the future held?
"Yes. The Ancestor Spirit is trustworthy, and her power reaches the heavens. Whenever those fellows from the Other Domain mention her, they tremble all over. Anyone she favors is bound to be extraordinary in the future," Bird Lord agreed.
"Oh? This fairy has the features of an Empress. Her future will be remarkable indeed!" Seeing the purple-clad young woman, Bird Lord could not help saying meaningfully. He knew a little about physiognomy, and this was his first time seeing such features.
"You old fool, stop spouting nonsense! What emperor could possibly be worthy of my young lady?" an expert behind the purple-clad woman said unhappily.
"It's fine."
Just as Bird Lord narrowed his eyes, the purple-clad woman—Yun Xi—parted her red lips slightly. Her pearly teeth gleamed as she raised a hand to stop the guard behind her.
"May I ask the two seniors about those two rather famous geniuses?" Yun Xi was not arrogant. She carried herself like a junior, and there was neither disdain nor mockery in her expression beneath the veil.
"Mm, you're a polite little girl. I'll tell you about them, then." Bird Lord's brows immediately relaxed. An Immortal King could not be insulted, so he had been ready to teach that man a small lesson.
The others did not care much, thinking these two old men were putting on quite an act. Mainly because the pair were usually so unreliable and devoid of any bearing that, over time, everyone had come to see them as old swindlers.
"Buying clothes, buying clothes!"
After leaving that human city, several more months passed. It had now been nearly a year since they left Stone Village, and they had crossed a distance of six to seven hundred thousand li. Their beast-hide clothes had long since become tattered, barely covering their vital parts.
"Much more comfortable!"
Shi Jue changed into a fitted black robe marked with restrained platinum patterns. Shi Hao wore white, decorated with golden patterns, with a gold ornament on his shoulder like a pauldron, brimming with youthful vigor. Shi Qingfeng wore a simple set of green clothes, which suited his easygoing temperament well.
With that change of clothes, the three little savages immediately became handsome young men.
When they had first entered the clothing shop looking filthy, they were nearly driven out as savages. Only after they slapped a bag of crystal walls onto the counter did the shopkeeper allow them to wash up and browse the selection.
Sure enough, with money, anyone could act like a grandpa.
"Not bad. We can buy some to take back for Clan Chief Grandpa and the others later!" Shi Hao stretched his limbs. The clothes would not affect his fighting.
Shi Jue sighed, "I'm still more used to this kind of clothing!"
Beast-hide clothes were comfortable, but garments woven from cloth simply felt different when worn.
"So many people! Heaven Mending Pavilion truly lives up to its name as an ancient Pure Land!" Shi Qingfeng looked at the youths traveling in the same direction and could not help feeling astonished. He was also filled with anticipation for Heaven Mending Pavilion.
"There are indeed many people, but don't you think a large portion of them are probably here because of Shi Hao and me?" Shi Jue said quietly.
Countless ferocious beasts thundered across the land, making the ground tremble without cease. Spirit birds spread their wings and flew overhead. Every descendant of a Primordial Remnant Species carried riders on its back, making it clear that all of them possessed some degree of status and strength.
"What should we do? Change our appearances first? Not many people know Qing Feng, so he doesn't need to. Furry Ball happens to have a Precious Technique for that."
Shi Hao did not want to get blocked outside Heaven Mending Pavilion. Besides, Shi Yi might very well come too, and now was not the time to fight him.
"Changing our looks is fine. It'll spare us plenty of trouble." Shi Jue had no objection.
"Shi Hao, aren't you a bit too fat?" Shi Jue's mouth twitched. He had known in advance that Shi Hao would turn into a fatty, but seeing it with his own eyes was another matter entirely. He had become a ball. If he fell over, he would probably roll straight down a slope!
Shi Jue himself had not changed much. He merely looked like an ordinary passerby, the sort who would be impossible to pick out from a crowd.
"Ah, don't worry about something like that. As long as we can blend into Heaven Mending Pavilion, it's fine." Shi Hao waved a hand. His attention was entirely fixed on those mounts.
"Big brother, you can't eat that!"
Seeing Shi Hao wiping at his drool, Shi Qingfeng could not help tugging at him. Those Primordial Remnant Species all had extraordinary origins, so it was best not to cause trouble yet.
Especially since they were within Heaven Mending Pavilion's territory, where something could easily go wrong.
"Why can't I eat them? They aren't even humanoid, and I've never eaten descendants of Primordial Remnant Species before," Shi Hao argued.
"Still, we should wait a while. Let them grow fatter first. They'll taste better that way."
Shi Jue: "..."
Shi Qingfeng: "..."
The two looked at each other, utterly speechless. It had to be said, this was very Shi Hao.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Shi Jue, when the time comes, let's work together. Find an opportunity to eat all these descendants, then keep a few to take back to Stone Village to guard the gates." Shi Hao said fiercely.
"We'll talk about it later. We'll definitely run into them before long."
Shi Jue also wanted to satisfy his appetite. After all, they had both come from Stone Village. When it came to eating, they certainly did not fall short.
Looking at his two fierce elder brothers, Shi Qingfeng helplessly shook his head. Fine, do whatever makes you happy.
