Shi Hou cooked the Demon Ape while Shi Hao and the villagers showed off their newly acquired Suanni Precious Technique. Four clan leaders arrived to demand the Suanni's body and threaten Stone Village, but the village's display stunned them before the phantoms abruptly began to vanish.
Kang amplified Shi Hao’s suanni treasure art, allowing Shi Hao to kill the Thunder Clan Leader, but three other rulers then launched a combined attack on Shi Hao and Stone Village. As their attacks descended, Shi Hou prepared to intervene and a mysterious sigh sounded.
The Willow Deity killed the Purple Mountain Marquis, the Golden Wolf Tribe's chief, and the lord of Luofu Marsh when they attacked Stone Village. The villagers celebrated their survival with Shi Hou's feast, while Shi Hao recovered from battle by devouring the spoils' nourishing meat and broth.
After Shi Hou’s feast gave the villagers a huge surge of blood qi, their bodies leaked much of the medicinal essence. He used his Stone Knife to pound Ermeng’s bones and muscles, forcing the essence into his body, and Shi Yunfeng recognized the technique’s extraordinary effectiveness.
Shi Hou gave the villagers a night of knife-based massages to help them absorb the Suanni essence and prepare for the coming beast tide. At dawn, he and Shi Hao saw ominous signs in the Great Wilderness and realized the Mountain Treasure conflict was about to begin.
After waking, Shi Hou helped his father reach perfection in the Blood Moving Realm, then fled the villagers’ eager matchmaking attempts. He ended the night with Shi Hao beneath the great tree, handing over the nourishing kidneys for roasting.
Stone Village repelled the first wave of the beast tide with overwhelming force, while Shi Hou and Shi Hao sought to preserve the best meat. As the villagers withdrew, a powerful golden creature emerged from the forest.
A Golden Lion arrived at Stone Village to carry out two supreme beings’ order to exterminate humanity, but Shi Hao and Shi Hou killed it with help from Kang and the villagers. Shi Yunfeng realized more attackers were coming, and a huge serpent began slithering toward the village.
Shi Hou fed the exhausted villagers mutated Wild Chives from the Black Pot, restoring their strength and sending them into battle against the Titan Python. As the python unleashed its life-bound inner core at Shi Hou and Shi Hao, both charged to meet it.
Shi Hou and Shi Hao stole the Titan Python’s inner pill, cut their way out of its belly, and helped Stone Village kill the primordial remnant. As the villagers prepared snake soup, a blood-red light and a towering iron staff appeared on the horizon, bringing a new threat.
Shi Hou used the Black Pot to devour the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow’s poisonous breath as the Sparrow fought Little Red above Stone Village. The breath ruined his snake stock, and he and Shi Hao turned their anger toward the bird overhead.
Shi Hou and Shi Hao combined Stone Village’s strength, Shi Hao’s Suanni technique, and Kang’s lightning to wound the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow, while Shi Hou carved a piece of meat from the Supreme Being. The Willow Deity rescued Stone Village from the bird’s counterattack by carrying everyone through a rift in space, and Shi Hou revealed that the meat he took was a poisonous cut called Seven-Mile Fragrance.
The Willow Deity used Void Relocation to save Stone Village from the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow, carrying the village through the void for two months. The barrier eventually vanished as Stone Village arrived in a lush, essence-rich new world, while the Willow Deity weakened from the journey.
Shi Hou, Shi Hao, and Kang explored the new territory and prepared to hunt its unusual fish and birds until the wounded Little Red crashed into the lakeshore. Recognizing Shi Hou as the terrifying cook who had cut the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow, Little Red feared being eaten and pleaded for help; Shi Hou began reaching into the Black Pot to assist it.
Shi Hou force-fed Little Red a Mutated Leek, which healed its wounds but filled it with uncontrollable lust, forcing it to flee after giving Shi Hou its True Life Feather. Shi Hao's blunt explanation of the grass's side effects embarrassed Shi Linhu and the other men, whom Shi Yunfeng sent to scout the forest.
Shi Hao learned from Shi Yunfeng that his parents had left to find a Primordial Divine Medicine after he was brought to Stone Village near death, and they had never returned. He refused to believe they were dead and began eating to grow strong enough to find them.
Shi Hou defeated the Unicorn King and frightened its herd into becoming mounts for New Stone Village. After Shi Hao worried that his parents would think he had died, Shi Hou promised to return with him to the Great Wilderness Ruins and leave them a mark.
After more than a year of training in Stone Village, Shi Hao surpassed the Blood Moving Realm’s limit, while Shi Hou’s Blood Qi reached over ten million. The Willow Deity awakened and Shi Hao asked about his parents and lost memories, but Shi Hou stopped the examination and brought out the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow’s body to feed him first.
Shi Hou cooked the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow’s Seven-Mile Fragrance with spirit medicines and mutated leeks, serving the Willow Deity first and then feeding Shi Hao. Shi Hao’s first bite unleashed a surge of Supreme vital essence, while Shi Hou received a hundredfold blood-qi return that left him in tearing pain.
Shi Hao's Supreme Being essence triggered a violent breakthrough, and the Willow Deity revealed the memory of his stolen bone and parents' sacrifice. When Shi Hao succumbed to rage and an inner demon, Shi Hou took him into the forest to fight, leaving their battle underway.
Shi Hao fought Shi Hou, gradually refining his combat skills until their final clash left both of them exhausted. He emerged from the battle resolved to find his parents, then admitted he was hungry.
After returning to Stone Village, Shi Hao received the Primordial True Explanation and entered a deep meditation to comprehend it. Kang also reacted to the bone and began absorbing essence while unconscious, as Shi Hou left the villagers to keep watch over Shi Hao.
After mastering the threshold of the Primordial True Explanation, Shi Hao set out with Shi Hou to search for clues about his parents at the Second Ancestral Land. As the villagers farewelled them, Shi Hou prepared a spectacular way to travel, leaving everyone stunned.
Shi Hou rode a stone pillar through the sky, thrilling at the flight until he encountered a Black-Feathered Feather King Sparrow and a terrifying claw from an ancient fiend beneath the mountains. The pillar crumbled in the shock wave, leaving Shi Hou falling toward the forest.
After surviving a fall caused by the Cyan Giant Claw, Shi Hou continued west with Shi Hao and their companions. Shi Hao killed a mutated white tiger, and Shi Hou began preparing it for dinner.
