"Is this a primitive Treasure Bone? It looks quite rare and precious." Little One was surprised. He squatted down, touched it with his fingers, and wanted to pry it out.

"Swish."

However, before he could even act, a golden passageway appeared and transported him away directly.

It was a strange sensation. Little One found himself traveling, leaving his original spot, and in an instant, he appeared in another place dense with runes.

Shi Lin was also transported to Little One's side while touching the beast bone.

It was the same type of bluestone, about a zhang in circumference, and it was also embedded with several Treasure Bones that circulated mysterious runic power.

As soon as Shi Lin emerged, he saw Little One take a deep breath, squat down, and stroke a bone. Then, he exerted force suddenly, wanting to crack the stone surface and pry the Rune Bone out.

This bluestone was very strange and extremely hard. Moreover, several Rune Bones glowed simultaneously, constructing layers of patterns to guard this place and provide defense.

"What is he doing? Why is he trying to destroy the passageway?"

"Heavens, he's digging for the Treasure Bones on the bluestone. He really is a piece of work. Doesn't he know this is a passageway and is impossible to shake?"

A chorus of voices came from all directions, chattering noisily.

Little One was stunned and quickly stood up. The runes around him gradually dimmed, allowing him to see his surroundings clearly. A group of people was surrounding the bluestone, pointing at him.

"He's so young, no wonder he doesn't understand anything. He actually dreams of destroying the path to the outside world to dig out the Rune Bones."

"Regardless, he's quite a character to actually do something like this. Didn't the adults in his family tell him what to do after entering the Void God Realm?"

Little One scratched his head, realizing he might have done something foolish. Otherwise, why would these people look at him like that? He whispered, "Are the Treasure Bones here all owned by someone? I didn't know, that's why I did it."

The crowd was speechless.

Shi Lin stood to the side, feeling a bit awkward.

Little One's iconic moment is about to arrive!

"Didn't your clansmen introduce the situation here to you? Upon first arriving in the Void God Realm, one is certainly sent to this 'Initial Ground.' After completing your cultivation here, you must use the runic passageway to reach higher-level regions. Why are you studying the passageway for no reason after entering? And to try and dig out the Treasure Bones, it's just..." A man in his thirties shook his head, patiently explaining to him, feeling quite speechless.

"Hehe..."

"Haha..."

Nearby, everyone burst into laughter.

Little One's small face turned red, feeling a bit embarrassed. He asked in a low voice, "So, these Treasure Bones are ownerless?"

The crowd's laughter stopped abruptly. Their faces were filled with astonishment. After all that, he still wanted to dig for bones?

"Heavens, this child really is a piece of work. He's still eyeing the Treasure Bones!"

"Which family's descendant is this? How were they raised? Were they brought up in the deep forests?"

The crowd didn't know whether to laugh or cry, feeling as if they were facing a primitive person. This little thing was a bit foolishly cute; how could he act like this?

Which clan did he belong to? If his identity were discovered after returning to the real world, it would surely make his clan a laughingstock. This was a strange tale indeed!

"Isn't this a world constructed by the spirits of gods? I feel these Treasure Bones must have great value. It's not greed; I just want to dig them out to study them," Little One defended himself in a low voice.

It was truly speechless; the crowd didn't know what to say to him anymore.

"Haha..." In the end, people could only laugh. Even if this was the Initial Ground and not a high-level blessed land, it wasn't something that could be destroyed so easily.

An old man chuckled, "These Rune Bones are extremely rare and precious. If you can dig them out, I am willing to offer a large amount of Essence Coins in exchange!"

"What are Essence Coins?" Little One asked curiously.

The crowd was dumbfounded. How could this little thing not know anything? Was he really from the primitive forests?

Shi Lin leaned over and whispered in Little One's ear.

"They're used to buy things!"

"Oh!" Little One nodded.

According to Willow Deity, the things that appeared here corresponded to the real world and all had prototypes. He lived in the Great Wilderness and was very isolated, knowing nothing about the outside world, so he could use this to learn.

"How does he not even know about Essence Coins?" More people arrived after hearing the news, standing not far away and pointing as if observing a rare species.

Little One tapped and knocked, squatting on the one-zhang bluestone, studying those few Rune Bones with a very focused and serious expression.

"A piece of work, he really wants to dig the Treasure Bones off the passageway? I've never seen such a person!"

"This little guy is too money-minded. I want to see how he digs them out; I've never heard of anyone being able to do such a thing."

"Haha, he's indeed foolishly cute. Whose child is this, running here to act like a clown?"

The crowd sat and waited to watch the joke, feeling this child was truly interesting. Was he too greedy? If he were an adult, he would have been despised a hundred times over, but now, it just made people want to laugh, thinking he was too simple-minded.

"Child, do you need tools? This uncle will lend you one," a middle-aged man said with squinted eyes, his tone mocking.

Little One didn't even lift his head. He accepted the "kindness" directly and said crisply, "Okay, give me a twenty-thousand-jin hammer."

The crowd was stunned; this was too outrageous. That's a hammer, not a hut. Who would be bored enough to forge one that big? Could he even lift it? Besides, how old are you? Opening your mouth to ask for a twenty-thousand-jin hammer—how much do you overestimate yourself and your confidence?

"I don't have a twenty-thousand-jin one, but I do have a two-thousand-jin one." The middle-aged man threw a hammer the size of a small millstone with a thud, smashing a deep pit into the ground.

"I'm afraid I'll break it." Little One still didn't look up, his bottom stuck out as he pondered on the bluestone, studying those few Rune Bones.

"How is this child speaking?" The middle-aged man's face darkened, feeling he had been teased in return. "It's fine, go ahead and use it. You won't have to pay if it breaks."

"Oh, alright then, I won't stand on ceremony." Little One scratched his head, then seemed to recall something else. "Right, Uncle, isn't this a spiritual world constructed by ancient gods? How can you bring a hammer in here? Is this also a manifestation of your spiritual will?"

"Go on, get lost. You're the one who's a hammer. Just use it like I told you, why so much nonsense!" The middle-aged man's forehead throbbed with veins.

"Fine." Little One didn't press further. It was a pity, as it really was a question, but these people were too dismissive. Why couldn't they just kindly offer some guidance?

Little Shi Hao jumped off the large bluestone and hauled the heavy hammer up.

A white-haired elder kindly reminded him, "Child, being able to lift or hold a weapon doesn't mean you can wield it well. It requires ten times the effort, so be careful not to hurt yourself."

"I know." Little One nodded, then stared at the brightly feathered bird on the elder's shoulder. "Old man, is this bird also you? Transformed into this shape?"

"Go, get lost!" The elder flicked his sleeve, his face also darkening.

"Why is everyone like this? Can't you patiently guide me?" Little One muttered. Though his voice was soft, everyone heard him.

"This brat!" Many people said this, secretly thinking, What kind of messy questions are those? Are you trying to tease us on purpose?

Just as everyone was grumbling to themselves, Little One swung the heavy hammer and smashed it against the bluestone. A deafening "clang" rang out, sparks flying everywhere.

"Alright, he's got some strength. He actually swung it," someone nodded.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang..."

The next moment, everyone covered their ears. The iron hammer in Little One's hands moved like a chick pecking at rice, striking the bluestone repeatedly. The sound of metal striking stone merged into a continuous stream, nearly shattering their eardrums.

Shi Lin stood to the side, waiting for the crowd's astonishment.

This was the Void God Realm; it made one feel as if their true body were here, with perceptions identical in every way.

Finally, with a "clink," the hammer deformed, and the head snapped off the handle.

The crowd was dumbfounded. This little guy really had some skill; he had ruined a heavy hammer so quickly. His strength was truly not small!

Little One looked very nervous and hurriedly spoke, "Uncle, you said it! I don't have to pay for the iron hammer!"

No matter what, this was a spiritual world; he assumed anything transformed into a weapon wouldn't be cheap, and he feared he couldn't afford to pay for it.

Seeing him so nervous, everyone laughed. Only the middle-aged man had a dark face and snorted; he was truly pained by the loss.

"Tell me, kid, can you actually dig out the Treasure Bone? Don't waste our time; we're all waiting to see you show off," others teased.

"This is my first time here, I don't have any experience. I don't know how to break it. Do you uncles and sisters have any suggestions? Give me some inspiration," Little One asked.

The crowd truly didn't know what to say. Who would be bored enough to try and break the passage of the Void God Realm? Never mind them, even if you invited an Archaic Ferocious Beast, it wouldn't necessarily be able to shatter it.

In truth, they wanted to say that this child was a bit dim-witted, and only someone with nothing better to do would pull such a ridiculous stunt to attract a crowd.

"Young man, charge! Use all your strength, I believe in you!" Someone with malicious intent cheered loudly, hoping to see him continue to make a fool of himself.

A kind young girl advised, "This is unsolvable. No one can break it unless you can set a record. To create a miracle in the Void God Realm, one must break through certain extreme limits."

The girl explained further that this was a world built by ancient gods, and the gods had considered everything carefully. One of their goals was to cultivate descendants with great potential here.

Even after long ages had passed, the rules and order of this place still functioned. Whoever could break an extreme limit here would receive certain benefits.

Moreover, during this process, the Void God Realm would provide a measure of protection, concealing the practitioner's aura so that the Treasure Technique they used would not be exposed to others, keeping it secret for them.

"This is the 'Initial Ground.' No matter how powerful your cultivation is, the combat strength you can exert here is limited to the Blood-Moving Realm; you cannot surpass it," the girl added.

"Ah, that's so magical?" Little One's eyes widened.

"Yes. If you want to break an extreme limit here, you can only use the strength of the Blood-Moving Realm. Even though many people here have long surpassed this realm, it's useless."

"So that's how it is." Little One nodded, then his large eyes lit up. "If I succeed, what benefits will I get?"

The crowd felt dizzy. Do you really think you can accomplish such a feat? Such a fierce person wouldn't just appear out of nowhere, and besides, the kid seemed a bit slow, not knowing his own limits.

"This silly child really doesn't understand anything," a person nearby curled their lip. "You'll be crying in a moment."

Many people crossed their arms, grinning, ready to watch Little One make a fool of himself. It was a sight they were happy to see.

"I am very fast. I intend to surpass the extreme limit of speed," Little One said earnestly.

"You can try," some people chuckled.

The next moment, Little One's entire body began to glow. Various Bone Runes appeared, dense and numerous, rapidly shrouding the area.

"What is he doing?" The crowd stared. They saw various rays of light dancing, quickly engulfing the bluestone. They couldn't see what was happening inside. "Is he going to use a Treasure Technique? But why don't I feel it's very powerful?" The crowd was dazzled; there were so many Bone Runes, weaving into a brilliant curtain of light.

At that very moment, a patch of light rose near the bluestone, isolating the area from the outside world. The rules and order of the Void God Realm began to protect Little One.

His aura changed instantly. Two flashes of lightning shot from his clear eyes as he swung his fist, smashing it with great force against the bluestone. The momentum was astonishing.

"Boom!"

He used the power of his physical body, not a Treasure Technique, to strike the bluestone. The immense force was heaven-shaking, and upon impact, it erupted into a blinding ball of light, terrifyingly powerful.

"Crack."

A shattering sound rang out. Little One was pleasantly surprised; it worked! He had previously used the power of runes, but discovered that the few Treasure Bones on the bluestone would erupt with divine patterns to defend themselves. After several attempts, he realized that the less rune power he used, the less the Treasure Bones would rebound. Now, using pure physical strength, those bones barely glowed and did not protect the bluestone.

Even so, this bluestone was incredibly tough. With a shake of his arm, Little One could have shattered not just this bluestone, but even divine iron. Yet, despite exerting over a hundred thousand jin of world-shaking force, he had only managed to crack a single fissure into the stone.

"Again!"

His eyes blazed with divine light as he exerted the utmost strength possible in the Blood-Moving Realm, striking the bluestone like a surging tide against the shore, his ferocious aura shaking the world, though alas, no one could witness it.

"Crack, crack..."

Finally, under the immense power of Little One's peak physical body, the bluestone, spanning a radius of ten feet, shattered into pieces, with several crystalline Treasure Bones falling onto the grass.

"Success!" Little One rejoiced, quickly picking up a Rune Bone, which was pure white, lustrous, and translucent.

Suddenly, the other Treasure Bones began to glow and shot through the air, while the bluestone also dissolved into light and vanished. This made Little One stomp his foot and exclaim, "Hey, why did they run off? Stop!"

In the end, he only obtained one Treasure Bone, which shone with a brilliant radiance.

A crowd stared, dumbfounded, that it had actually succeeded!

They could hardly believe it, their eyes nearly popping out, thinking how impossible and fake it was!

Shi Lin smiled as if it were only natural.

"Cheating! How could he possibly set a record?!" a group of people shouted.

However, Little One's voice was louder than theirs as he yelled indignantly, "Why did I only get one Treasure Bone? There were three more, why did they fly away?"

No matter how you looked at it, he appeared like a little miser, jumping and shouting, leaving everyone speechless.

"Mine, mine, all mine! Why did they run away?" Little One wailed.

"Don't you have one in your hand?" someone said resentfully. It was too unfair that this brat had actually succeeded.

"There were supposed to be a few more," Little One replied.

The crowd truly didn't know what to say, feeling a pain in their teeth, stomach, and lungs. An old man said, "Stop shouting. You attacked the Void God Realm passage and did something so outrageous and absurd. It's a miracle you weren't punished. Giving you one Treasure Bone is proof of your success."

"Is that so?" Little One scratched his head and whispered, "Then if I succeed again next time, will I get another one?"

Everyone felt dizzy. This kid...
