Opening the Mountain Treasure

"Xiao Jue, is this what you wanted?" Shi Yunfeng took out a white bone cauldron, jade-white and flawless. Its material was exactly the same as that piece of the Primordial True Scripture.

"Mm!"

Shi Jue nodded and took the white bone cauldron, unable to help but sigh.

The Mountain Treasure had appeared in the Lower Realm, while this bone cauldron had appeared in Stone Village. The coincidence between them was truly wondrous. If they had searched everywhere for it, they might never have found it.

"Hmm? This material feels somewhat familiar."

After receiving the Mountain Treasure, Liu Shen was equally astonished.

"This should be the Mountain Treasure that was fought over in the Great Wilderness back then. It seems to be connected to the Supreme Hall. I have to admit, it does interest me. What is inside is not simple."

Buzz!

After studying it for a while, Liu Shen began to use six Precious Techniques. She even used the opening stance of Six Paths Reincarnation, causing the pristine white bone fragment to blaze with brilliant, dazzling light as radiant showers of light flowed around it.

Crack!

The six-sided white bone fragment let out a crisp sound. Under Shi Jue and Shi Hao's expectant gazes, it opened on its own. One side detached from the fragment as a lid, revealing the space within.

Specks of rosy light spilled from the opening, like countless stars, incredibly mysterious and divine.

"As expected, the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art. I never imagined it had been hidden here." Liu Shen took out the beast hide within and spoke in a complicated tone.

Liu Shen's aura immediately changed, as though she had become the incarnation of the Great Dao itself. Six Black Holes emerged behind her, deep and dark, swallowing everything in the world, even light.

Then, a rain of time scattered through the air, reversing heaven and earth. It was as if they could see all the facets of life, birth, aging, illness, and death, witnessing the cycles of Reincarnation.

Next, they saw the cosmic starry river collapse and return to chaos. Then the Primordial Light illuminated the chaos, and all things revived, entering a new era.

All sorts of scenes continued to shift. It was as though true Six Paths Reincarnation had unfolded before the two of them. Merely watching made them feel as if their souls would be dragged inside and crushed into dust.

"Liu Shen, I feel that the Supreme Bone growing in my chest is resonating with this Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art." Shi Hao touched his chest and could feel the Supreme Bone heating up.

"The newly born bone is stronger than the previous one. It should be related to Reincarnation. This supreme ancient Heavenly Art suits you very well." Liu Shen sensed it and explained.

Of course, there was more than just the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art inside. There were also many Precious Techniques, including ones from the Hou Clan and the Luan Bird Clan. Though they were not as precious as the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, they were still rare treasures.

"Eh, I nearly overlooked it!"

Liu Shen picked up a beast hide recording the Suanni Method. Silver sword qi instantly appeared, crisscrossing through the air and slicing off several of Liu Shen's Willow Leaves. The sword qi was so fierce that Shi Jue and Shi Hao's scalps went numb. A single strand of it could have killed them hundreds or thousands of times.

When the sword qi dispersed, the beast hide recording the Suanni Method turned to ash. In its place was a silver metal page covered in dense, mysterious symbols, while also emitting unparalleled sword qi.

A long time passed before the sword qi fluctuations on the silver page finally calmed down. Yet silver light still flowed across it, as though it had condensed from a galaxy, with countless intricate Bone Scripts engraved upon it.

"One of the Ten Fierce—the Grass Character Sword Art. It should be the greatest Secret Art here apart from the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art." Even Liu Shen's voice was no longer calm. These two supreme Secret Arts could be useful even to her.

"A Ten Fierce Divine Technique?" Shi Hao cried out. This was also his first time seeing a Precious Technique of such a level.

"What is there to be so shocked about? Don't you already have one?"

Shi Jue smiled and flicked the God-Striking Stone in Shi Hao's hair with his finger. The Stubborn Stone was extremely dissatisfied, but it could only endure it out of fear of Liu Shen.

"You two truly have great fortune. Among the Ten Fierce, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and the God-Striking Stone are the most mysterious." Liu Shen smiled, her gaze lingering on the Small Pagoda for an extra moment.

"The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass lived up to its name. Its leaves were like swords, and it had nine in total. When its sword qi stirred, it could cleave open the universe and destroy stars."

"Yet it was simply too mysterious, so mysterious that it remained unknown. No one knew whether it was an Immortal King. The only time it ever made its presence known was during the Immortal Ancient War, when four Immortal Kings crossed realms and happened to encounter the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass rooted there.

"A great battle immediately broke out. No matter how powerful the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was, it was no match for four Immortal Kings. Yet the sight of its sword qi sweeping across the heavens, cutting down stars and tearing apart the universe, still shocked countless people."

"That's cool. I want to learn it!" Shi Jue's eyes lit up. Whether a blade of grass cutting down stars was powerful or not was beside the point. Looking cool was forever.

"The Grass Character Sword Art, the Chaos Pacification Art, and the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art are known as the Three Great Sword Arts. If you are interested, you can look for them in the future." Liu Shen was speechless.

"The Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art and the Grass Character Sword Art can be learned by the two of you. The other Precious Techniques can be given to your clansmen to learn." Liu Shen had a photographic memory and had memorized both arts.

Shi Hao took the beast hide recording the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art. He could sense that it suited him better than the Grass Character Sword Art. It shared an indescribable resonance with the Supreme Bone growing within him and was an excellent fit for him.

"The Grass Character Sword Art truly is wondrous."

The moment Shi Jue took the silver page, he felt faint sword qi burst forth and effortlessly cut open his precious body.

"A reminder for you two: the sword art and Heavenly Art may be powerful, but do not become overly reliant on them. Also, before you become strong, do not reveal them too freely. There are plenty of people in the Upper Realm who would be tempted by them." Liu Shen warned.

"Then, Liu Shen, can you tell us your art too? The more tricks we have, the less likely we'll be beaten to death in the future." Shi Jue shamelessly asked.

Shi Hao opened his mouth. You could do that?

Liu Shen's art was definitely not inferior to a Ten Fierce Divine Technique, and might even surpass one.

Liu Shen: "..."

"My art will be given to you later. You are not yet qualified to cultivate it. Also, if you do not want to be beaten to death, then stop stirring up trouble. Otherwise, even I will not be able to protect you." Liu Shen sighed.

Thinking of everything the two had done so far, she felt that once they reached the Upper Realm, they might bring bloody storms there. The word scourges was practically made to describe the two of them.

"How could we avoid stirring up trouble? That would be so boring!" Shi Jue muttered under his breath. Liu Shen pretended not to hear him. She knew her warning had been as good as saying nothing.

"Oh, right, Liu Shen, there's also this. You should be able to use it too." Shi Jue then took out the white bone cauldron he had previously obtained from Shi Yunfeng, holding the white bone fragment of the Mountain Treasure in his right hand.
