The Legacy of the Supreme Hall

The crystalline bone block was a large-scale spatial artifact, containing a world within.

Several blood-stained ancient beast skins lay inside, appearing incredibly archaic, as if they had been placed there millions of years ago, existing since time immemorial.

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art; it truly is the inheritance of the Supreme Hall."

Willow Deity picked up a beast skin; this was the supreme ancient heavenly art of the Supreme Hall.

In addition, there were over twenty types of flawless techniques collected by the Supreme Hall: True Hou Precious Technique, Qingluan Precious Technique, Golden Winged Roc Precious Technique, Bi Fang Precious Technique, Golden Crow Precious Technique, Bian Precious Technique...

These were all legendary primordial vicious beasts from the ancient era.

It is likely that with these alone, a sect leader-level titan could establish an immortal orthodoxy in the three thousand Dao provinces where giants run rampant, suppressing a province single-handedly.

"This is the Suanni Precious Technique? No, that's not it..."

When Willow Deity flipped to the last ancient beast skin, he discovered that the Suanni technique recorded upon it had become blurred, its runes dim, and he subconsciously probed it with his divine sense.

"Boom!"

The next moment, sword intent surged across the sky, sharp and extreme, slicing through the void and cutting down stars beyond the heavens, threatening to erase the entire Stone Village from this world in an instant.

Not to mention Little Shi, who was in the Cave Heaven Realm, even the Venerable-level primordial vicious beast Zhu Yan was firmly locked in place by the soaring sword pressure, unable to move a muscle, forced to watch helplessly as a nearly transparent silver Sword Qi slashed toward him, his face filled with terror.

"Hmph, be suppressed!"

The charred willow tree swayed slightly, and chains of order pierced through the void, divine sounds roaring and the Great Dao boiling, absorbing the monstrous sword intent in an instant.

If not for the shocking, pitch-black cracks still lingering in the void, everything would have truly felt like a dream that never occurred.

The tattered beast skin recording the Suanni technique vanished, and a silver metal page covered in countless intersecting patterns floated silently in mid-air, emitting waves of roaring Sword Qi.

"That... that supreme sword intent is..."

Zhu Yan's face turned deathly pale as he scrambled up from the ground, trembling.

Compared to the disheveled Zhu Yan, Shi Hao was relatively composed.

Whether intentional or not, he had already stood beside Willow Deity before the latter probed the final tattered beast skin, not a shred of Sword Qi touching him.

"Grass Sword Art, so it was this..."

Willow Deity ignored the terrified Zhu Yan and took the silver metal page.

Among the Ten Primordial Vices, there was the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, whose true form originated from a grass seed nurtured in supreme tribulation soil; its leaves were like swords, growing in a set of nine.

When the nine leaves flipped, the heavens and earth turned upside down, its Sword Qi tearing through the star sea and slicing the universe.

The self-created Grass Sword Art was indestructible and could pierce through anything.

When cultivated to perfection, all things could serve as sword embryos, and with a mere wave of a hand, one could unleash heaven-shaking Sword Qi; it was a peerlessly tyrannical and supreme sword technique.

Together with the Peace-Quelling Art and the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art, it was hailed as one of the three strongest sword techniques of all time.

In the legends of the Perfect World, the verse about a single blade of grass slicing through the sun, moon, and stars referred to this very art.

During the Immortal Ancient War, when four Immortal Kings crossed the borders, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, possessing peerless combat power, immediately took up its sword to meet them, generously meeting its end.

In later generations, one of its bloodline descendants, who called himself the One-Blade-Grass Sword Saint, once used a fragment of the Grass Sword Art to remain undefeated across the world, such was its ferocious might.

He had not expected the hidden trump card of the Supreme Hall to be a supreme Ten Vices precious technique—the Grass Sword Art created by the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass; its foundation was truly profound.

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art, the Grass Sword Art, and over twenty types of pure-blooded creature precious techniques; it seems the essence of the Supreme Hall's inheritance is all here. If there is an opportunity, I might gift a copy to the successor of the Supreme Hall."

"The supreme-level Mystic Tortoise that carried the Supreme Hall had decent combat power, but it is a pity its divine consciousness has been erased and it was refined into a weapon of war; I am currently unable to subdue it."

Willow Deity murmured thoughtfully.

"Willow Deity, what exactly is inside the Mountain Treasure?"

Shi Hao spoke at the right moment, looking "curiously" at the mottled ancient beast skins.

"The inheritance of the Supreme Hall. If you accept it, you will inevitably be entangled in some karma, and you will need to go to the Upper Realm to resolve it in the future."

"This bone box is suspected to be the middle volume of the Original True Interpretation, Transcendence, though it is incomplete. Remember to keep it safe. Of course, it is also a large-scale spatial artifact itself; since you lack a Universe Bag, you may borrow it for the time being."

The tender green willow branches lowered, handing down the Mountain Treasure along with the several beast skins.

Watching Willow Deity's actions, Zhu Yan subconsciously swallowed hard.

His resolve to stay in Stone Village grew firmer; even if he couldn't obtain the Eight-Nine Heavenly Art of the Primordial Divine Ape lineage, it wouldn't be a loss to cultivate the supreme techniques recorded in the Mountain Treasure.

Zhu Yan Precious Technique, Seventy-Two Transformations, Three Heads and Six Arms, Law of Heaven and Earth... the techniques he, Zhu Yan, possessed were not bad either; he could exchange them when the opportunity arose.

"True Hou Precious Technique, Qingluan Precious Technique, Golden Winged Roc Precious Technique, Bi Fang Precious Technique, Golden Crow Precious Technique, Bian Precious Technique... over twenty types of pure-blooded creature precious techniques; the opportunity for the village to grow stronger has arrived."

Shi Hao took the Mountain Treasure, sighing with a mix of truth and pretense.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art and the Grass Sword Art could not be leaked, but the clansmen could learn these pure-blooded creature precious techniques. Given enough time, Stone Village would surely recreate the glory of the First Ancestral Land of the Stone Clan, far surpassing the Stone Kingdom lineage of the outside world.

"Remember what I told you before? That high-level divine corpse is becoming less useful to me; it is time to hand it over to you all."

The tender green willow branches tapped the earth, and the ground split open with a rumble.

A purple-gold skeleton, a hundred feet long and radiating a rich divine might, appeared naked before the man and the beast, the air rapidly becoming scorched and viscous.

The bones were a deep purple-gold throughout, brimming with divine energy, taking the form of a Three-Eyed Divine Being with three pairs of bone wings on its back, its hands folded across its chest, sleeping peacefully.

Even though it had fallen long ago and had most of its divinity drained away by the Willow Deity, it still radiated a heaven-piercing sacred aura, its divine might astonishing.

"This is a Three-Eyed Divine Being of the Spirit Clan; in life, it was at least a Heavenly Deity!"

Zhu Yan stared blankly at the divine corpse resting deep underground, dumbstruck.

The villagers of Stone Village were also startled by the loud crash at the village entrance and came rushing out to investigate, only for a colossal, high-tier divine corpse to immediately enter their line of sight.

"Good heavens, what a massive skeleton! It even has six wings and three eyes—is it some kind of bird-man?"

"The purple-gold skeleton is shining so brightly, it's just a pity there's no meat on it; we can't eat bird meat!"

"Did the Willow Deity specifically kill a deity for us?!"

The children of Stone Village discussed with great excitement whether this bird-man skeleton could be used to make soup, the scene as lively as a festival.

"Village Chief, come up here."

The Willow Deity summoned the old village chief, Shi Yunfeng, and instructed, "With over twenty types of pure-blooded creature precious techniques, combined with the corpse of a Heavenly Deity, this is the moment for Stone Village to strive and rise."

"As the village chief, this duty falls squarely upon your shoulders."

Outside, the Great Wilderness for a hundred thousand li had just been washed in blood, leaving a vacuum where no one would disturb them.

Inside, they possessed various supreme precious techniques and the remains of a Heavenly Deity to sustain them.

It could be said that the timing, the location, and the people were all on the side of Stone Village; the conditions for its peaceful rise had never been better.

"I shall strictly follow the Willow Deity's command!"

Hearing this, the blood of the old village chief surged with excitement as he led the village elders in a resounding salute.

The revival and rise of the First Ancestral Land would begin today!
