Big Brother of the Milk Baby

Xiao Tian was still quite delighted right now. Two pieces of primordial bone, pure white and flawless throughout like mutton-fat divine jade, were pristine and unblemished, shimmering with multicolored brilliance. Crystal-clear and translucent, they harbored powerful runes within. These were the treasure arts of the Primordial Fierce Beast White Marsh and the Primordial Fierce Beast Deceit Beast. Right now, for his grandfather's grand birthday this year, he truly had a unique gift.

The treasure art of the pure-blooded fierce beast White Marsh featured a head like a White Tiger, hair on its head resembling burning, dazzling white flames like a lion's mane, dragon horns, a goat beard, tiger-like fur burning with white flames, all four paws in a running posture, and a tail like a white fox.

In ancient Chinese mythology, it was an auspicious beast. Capable of speech and of understanding the feelings of all things, it knew the affairs of ghosts and gods, appearing only when a ruler possessed virtue, and could banish all evil qi in the world.

The White Marsh frequently appeared in the image of auspiciousness on flags and official robes, and ordinary people also often pasted it on doors as a door god to pray for the peace of the household.

Xiao Tian had not expected the Void God Realm to think so highly of him, giving him Primordial Treasure Bones of very good quality. Unlike the original plot where that brat Shi Hao caused random destruction, casually fobbing him off with a single ordinary Primordial Treasure Bone.

Even after just a few glances, Xiao Tian felt that this was a treasure art that strengthened the soul and spirit. Once cultivated, it carried its own regal majesty.

It was upright and righteous, leaning toward the attributes of light and flame, which made him involuntarily think of the heritage of the Shaking Light Holy Land from the novel Shrouding the Heavens.

This was a treasure art left behind by a fallen Venerable Realm White Marsh.

There was also another piece, which was a primordial Deceit Beast Treasure Bone.

The Classic of Divine Wonders states: "In the southwestern wastes, there are Deceit Beasts. Their shape is like a rabbit with a human face, capable of speech. They often deceive people, saying east when they mean west, and speaking of evil as good. Their meat is delicious; eating it makes one's speech untrue."

The Deceit Beast possessed a lovely face and a rabbit-like physique, with graceful deportment and spiritual qi radiating with every gesture. Its entire body was white as snow, but it was far too fond of telling falsehoods. One could say they tripped off its tongue effortlessly, and its deceptions came one after another.

It was extremely suited for hoodwinking people. This was Xiao Tian's understanding of this treasure art. He felt that as an honest child like himself, he was easily duped when going out; by studying the Deceit Beast Treasure Art, he could judge whether others were lying, and could also make others speak the truth while he spoke falsehoods, making it difficult for others to tell.

Perhaps there were also some other uses, which would require him to slowly research them.

Xiao Tian departed!

Shi Yi was still young and possessed a rather fiery temper. Knocked unconscious by two punches-or half-stunned with rage-he woke directly in reality. Shi Yi, who had entered the Void God Realm full of radiant joy, wore a gloomy expression. What he found most unbearable was that he had thought he reached a limit in the Blood Moving Realm unmatched by those before or since, yet he was slapped in the face, defeated in a head-on collision.

"The Double Pupils are meant for an invincible path; why ever borrow from others →_→."

Moreover, Shi Yi had faintly heard the second half of what that person said. The final word-although he did not hear it clearly, he could deduce it.

Clearly, the elders of the Martial King Manor and the Rain Clan had both told him that the Human Race's limit for cultivation in the Blood Moving Realm was ten thousand catties of force, whereas he had deliberately spent two years breaking his strength past the ten-thousand-catty threshold, even achieving a single swing of his arm that yielded one hundred and seven thousand catties, only to suffer such a crushing defeat today.

This was his first defeat in the Blood Moving Realm domain since he began his path.

Who was he?

"Ah!"

Birds fluttered, and chaotic leaves rustled.

Shi Yi felt he had suffered immense humiliation. For some reason, the bone in his chest suddenly felt as heavy as tens of thousands of catties, pressing down on him so he could barely breathe.

"No, I am not wrong. My choice was right.

My mother was not wrong either; she was right as well."

Shi Yi admonished himself sentence by sentence, swearing as though trying to hypnotize himself.

Only by becoming even more powerful could he prove that everything back then was right.

Meanwhile, the Void God Realm was in an uproar, with everyone searching for Xiao Tian, wanting to know his name.

Some even exaggerated and sensationalized the matter, spreading the news far and wide both within the Void God Realm and in reality: the bearer of the Double Pupils had been defeated by a mysterious youth in the Initial Ground of the Void God Realm.

"Hasty. How could Tian'er clash with the bearer of the Double Pupils right now? Fortunately, when that brat entered, he specially searched for a treasure art capable of altering his appearance."

Naturally, Marquis Ling Tian also learned of this matter. He was very happy in his heart, though he inevitably uttered a couple of sour remarks with his mouth.

Marquis Ling Tian had finally discovered that his grandson was as sly as a ghost, planning everything in advance. No wonder that for the past eight months, he had been made to search for treasure arts that could change a person's physical height, weight, and form-it turned out he had long been preparing to enter the Void God Realm.

Thinking about it carefully, 'That's not right. That brat went up against the bearer of the Double Pupils and yet wasn't seen through directly by others in his true form.

No wonder rumor has it that the bearer of the Double Pupils was beaten by a mysterious youth until he looked like an Iron-Eating Beast's eye.'

Marquis Ling Tian felt he understood everything completely, and all the pieces fell into place.

Xiao Tian had already left the Void God Realm by this time. The commotion he stirred up was a bit too large, and many people were inquiring into his identity; he needed to keep a low profile.

How he looked forward to that bear child Shi Hao entering the Void God Realm soon, wreaking havoc and drawing away all attention.

"Congratulations, Host! A new check-in location has refreshed!"

"Please check in at the Heaven Mending Pavilion's sacrificial spirit, Old Vine, for a duration of three minutes!"

Hearing the system prompt, Xiao Tian smiled faintly. The objectives of this trip were all accomplished.

Upon returning, he would bitterly cultivate treasure arts and look forward to the day of his reunion with Shi Hao three years hence.

Meanwhile, inside the Void God Realm, everyone was still studying the legend left behind by Xiao Tian: "Big Brother of the Milk Baby". What did this mean?

The years are too many to count, and old friends are nowhere to be found.

More than two years later!

Xiao Tian had been in seclusion for five months. He was making a push for the tenth heavenly grotto. He was definitely going to go to the Transverse Mountain Range, and his purpose in entering was to use his Classic of Mountains and Seas · Food Records to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The space where the Transverse Mountain Range resided only permitted those below the Spirit Transformation Realm-namely the Heavenly Grotto Realm and Blood Moving Realm-to enter.

However, those who entered were invariably in the Heavenly Grotto Realm; entering in the Blood Moving Realm was simply courting death.

Over the span of more than two years, Xiao Tian had advanced steadily and surely. He first spent five months to achieve the seventh heavenly grotto, then the next seven months to achieve the eighth heavenly grotto, eight months to achieve the Nine Heavenly Grottos, and ten months to achieve the tenth heavenly grotto.

The reason his breakthroughs were not exceptionally fast was that cultivation resources such as Flesh-and-Blood Treasure Medicine could not keep up. Furthermore, the Xiao Clan had never produced an existence surpassing the Nine Heavenly Grottos, and they simply did not understand what was required to break through to ten heavenly grottos.

Fortunately, Xiao Tian's natural talent was too formidable, allowing him to grind away slowly. Because of this, his foundation would undoubtedly be even more solid.

"Boom!"

The place where Xiao Tian was in seclusion was the forbidden land where the sacrificial spirit resided. On Silver Mountain, a volcanic eruption of purple liquid spewed from the crown of Xiao Tian's head, with purple mist and multicolored clouds evaporating, gurgling forth as purple qi came from the east.

The sacrificial spirit trembled slightly, gazing at this child of the Xiao Clan. It had received benefits from Xiao Tian, obtaining the pure-blooded Bai Ze Treasure Art. A treasure art like this would cause even other Venerable Realm beings to feel tempted and fight to seize it.

A pure-blooded White Marsh possessed immense potential; prior to the Immortal Ancient era, achieving Supremacy was an absolute certainty. It possessed that kind of talent and bloodline.

However, ever since the battle between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm during the Immortal Ancient era shattered heaven and earth into incompleteness, a long time had passed without the emergence of any new Supremes.

The Upper Realm cultivation realms could be categorized as:

Divine Flame (Divine, Pseudo-God), True One (True God), Sacred Sacrifice (transitional realm, skippable).

Heavenly God (those who survive the Sacred Sacrifice God King Tribulation are called God Kings), Void Dao, Enlightenment Realm (full name Self-Slaying Enlightenment Realm), One Escape, Supreme (the invincible, corresponding to Shrouding the Heavens' Quasi-Emperor to Great Emperor realms).

Immortals: True Immortal (Undying, Longevity being), Immortal King (Undying King, Burial King).

As far as the prison land of the Lower Realm was concerned, treasure arts like the White Marsh held immense potential.

That was why the Silver Mountain sacrificial spirit felt that this time it too was basking in Xiao Tian's reflected glory, because its strength was merely at the King-Sealing Heavenly Grotto-no, King-Sealing Array Formation Realm level. Moreover, because it was a mountain spirit, unless it ignited the divine flame one day, it could go nowhere, suffering immense restrictions-even greater than those on plant-type sacrificial spirits. It was only suited to act as a sacrificial spirit, guarding a single region.

Yet its advantages were also extremely obvious: on its home turf, even as an ordinary Array Formation Realm entity, it could erupt with King-Sealing Array Formation Realm-level combat strength.

It succeeded!

For the majority of people, breaking through the Nine Heavenly Grottos seemed to be the limit, but Xiao Tian felt it was just so-so; perhaps opening an eleventh heavenly grotto would not be difficult either.

However, there was not much time left now. After consulting the sacrificial spirit, Xiao Tian hastily rushed into the Void God Realm; he could not afford to miss the show.

"He succeeded!"

In the sky, Shi Hao, who was a little over seven years old, had a small figure that spread its wings like a pure-blooded golden-winged Great Peng chick. With a single leap, he surpassed the Blood Moving Realm record left behind by the bearer of the Double Pupils, Shi Yi.

Naturally, this was as it should be. In the original plot, Shi Hao achieved the ultimate state of a single swing of his arm yielding one hundred and eight thousand catties, which allowed him to surpass Shi Yi. Now he had attained the ultimate state of one hundred and nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine catties, achieved with the help of the Willow Deity.

It seemed the Willow Deity had still researched some things from Xiao Tian.

However, when Xiao Tian broke through to the Heavenly Grotto Realm, he had actually already broken into one hundred and nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine catties.

Shi Hao executed a pivot, a pair of cyan wings with multicolored edges emerging behind his back. He landed lightly on the taller of the Twin Peaks, letting the howling mountain wind sweep past as his shoulder-length black hair fluttered and his bright eyes gazed into the distant horizon.

"Shi Yi's record has been broken."

"The bear child broke the record left by the bearer of the Double Pupils."

A crowd of people gasped in admiration, crying out in astonishment, playing the role of the chorus quite promptly.

"I've surpassed that person-that person who was born with Double Pupils and also snatched my Supreme Bone, the little older brother."

Through a secret technique and borrowing Shi Hao's past memories, the Willow Deity retraced a bit of time fragments, replaying past events for Shi Hao to see. He, this natural Supreme being, had been crippled by that little older brother who was four years older than him. The other party had uttered a single phrase: "He is not simple at all. There is a bone within his body, its runes intricate and its profundity hard to fathom."

It was precisely because of these words that his eldest aunt-Shi Yi's mother-had ruthlessly extracted his Supreme Bone and transplanted it into her own son.

She completely disregarded Shi Hao's life or death, while that little older brother had treated him with cold indifference from beginning to end, devoid of any fraternal affection and colder than a complete stranger.

Shi Hao now harbored the desire that one day, when his strength grew, he would ask that little older brother: "Was my Supreme Bone useful to use?"

Shi Hao felt deeply wronged and wanted to cry, but he did not. He could not cry; he had already grown up.

He recalled entering the Void God Realm and hearing most frequently about a mysterious youth. On his very first day entering the Void God Realm, he had unexpectedly collided with the bearer of the Double Pupils, Shi Yi, and then directly forged two records: [Single swing of an arm yields one hundred and nine thousand nine hundred catties] and [Suppressed the Double Pupils with a single hand].

He left behind a moniker like "Big Brother of the Milk Baby".

Shi Hao felt he ought to know who that mysterious youth was. Warmth filled his heart; the milk flask Xiao Tian had given him was very useful, and the treasure tool longsword gifted to him had helped him immensely even when he encountered the pangolin sacrificial spirit of the bandits.

The Luan Bird treasure art and Cold Flood Dragon treasure art given to him were also extremely practical.

Whoosh!

In the distance, five-colored runes flickered as a Luan Bird wreathed in multicolored rosy clouds, possessing five-colored feathers that were resplendent and beautiful, flew toward the Twin Peaks where Shi Hao was.

Chip in a dollar and tip one hundred Qidian coins. You won't lose out and you won't be conned, but a single dollar can give the bitter author the spirit to hammer out text, make every meal delicious, and let him sleep without nightmares.
