Screw your Lord Dao? Screw you!

Although Li Dao did not know what Chu Yang was thinking, he could more or less guess from his expression. Still, he did not bother explaining much.

Seeing that Li Dao remained silent, Chu Yang was about to say more, but the next instant, the words caught in his throat.

A four-sided stone stele gleaming with a metallic luster appeared before him.

The moment Chu Yang saw it, his pupils contracted sharply, and he stammered:

"Th-this... this is a Record Stele!"

"Shattering the Starting Ground's passage really does count as setting a record?!"

After reading the words on the Record Stele, Chu Yang quickly regained his composure.

Li Dao was not the least bit surprised by the Record Stele's appearance and turned to look at it.

Mist wreathed its entire surface, upon which a line of bold, powerful characters shone with dazzling light.

"Shattered the Starting Ground's passage. Reward: one Primordial Bone."

The next instant, one of the four streaks of light that had vanished from sight flew back toward him.

Behind that streak of light, a dense swarm of cultivators followed close on its heels.

The streak landed squarely in Li Dao's hand.

Looking at the Treasure Bone in his hand, Li Dao was rather speechless. He had thought the reward would be something else.

They're rewarding me with my own stuff?

The next instant, the cultivators chasing the Treasure Bone returned to the Starting Ground's passage.

Their eyes burned as they stared at the Treasure Bone in Li Dao's hand.

"He actually set a brand-new record!"

"Little friend, I have a Treasure Artifact that cuts through iron like mud. Would you trade that Treasure Bone for it?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I have a Three-Thousand-Year Treasure Medicine here to exchange for your Treasure Bone. Trade with me!"

"Don't bully a child just because you're older! I'm the one with the good stuff!"

"..."

Every one of them pulled out all the stops, trying to get their hands on Li Dao's Treasure Bone.

Some clever ones, however, quickly broke away from the crowd to join the scramble for the other Treasure Bones.

Li Dao paid their words no mind. He put away the Treasure Bone and said in a clear voice:

"I have no intention of selling this Treasure Bone right now. If that changes, I'll trade with you then."

The surrounding crowd still refused to give up and kept raising their offers, but after saying his piece, Li Dao ignored them.

Chu Yang, who had long since been left dumbstruck at the side, quickly collected himself and came over to Li Dao.

"Brother Li, you need to inscribe your details to complete the record."

Li Dao nodded, considered for a moment, then raised his hand and swiftly wrote a few strokes on the Record Stele.

The next instant, the runes on the stele flashed with brilliant divine light. The words he had written shone resplendently as well, branding themselves onto its surface.

"That name... certainly has character."

Standing beside him, Chu Yang could only offer that dry remark. Li Dao naturally paid it no mind.

The next instant, once Li Dao completed his details, steles rose not only in the Starting Ground, but also in the higher-level Cave Heaven blessed lands.

Inscribed upon them was the record Li Dao had just set.

"Extreme of Strength!"

"Damn You, Daoist!"

Every cultivator still in the Void God Realm saw those glaring words.

"Damn You, Daoist? Why does that sound a little strange?"

"For some reason, I feel insulted."

"Screw your Lord Dao? Screw you? Why is he throwing insults around?"

"Whose little brat is this? Such a glorious achievement, and he puts down something like that! What a waste of heaven's gifts, what a waste!"

Everyone who saw the steles reacted differently. Some found it amusing, while others thought it utterly childish.

Li Dao paid none of this any mind. Just as he was about to leave the crowd, two voices rang out one after the other.

"Child, you're the one who broke the record?"

"Boy, can I buy it from you with Essence Jade?"

Li Dao looked toward the voices and saw two old men slowly squeezing their way through the crowd.

One had a Five-Colored Bird perched on his shoulder; the other had snow-white hair and a beard and looked very approachable.

A keen gleam flashed through Li Dao's eyes. He had not expected the commotion here to draw these two over.

He immediately cupped his hands toward them and said:

"Seniors, I won't be selling the Treasure Bone in my hand."

The two were about to say more, but Li Dao's eyes shifted, and he immediately added:

"However, three more of my Treasure Bones are still out there. As long as you two find out where they are..."

"You won't need to retrieve them. Just bring me the information, and I'll give you the Treasure Bone!"

"What do you think?"

The two exchanged puzzled looks. After discussing it briefly, they agreed.

Chu Yang was also puzzled by Li Dao's request, but he did not voice his questions.

"Fine! We agree, but don't regret it later!"

Once Li Dao nodded, the two split up and disappeared from sight.

Li Dao watched them leave. He had been worried that he would not be able to locate the Treasure Bones, but now he could finally put his mind at ease.

He said to Chu Yang beside him:

"Brother Chu, I'm going to look for the remaining Treasure Bones. What will you do?"

Chu Yang answered without hesitation:

"I'd like to go with you, Brother Li, and join in the excitement."

Li Dao said nothing more. He nodded to him, then raced off in the direction where one of the remaining streaks of light had vanished.

The wings on his back spread, and he disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. Even so, Chu Yang could not help feeling startled.

Having learned from his earlier experience, however, he managed to keep his expression under control and unleashed a Treasure Art to follow him.

Li Dao moved swiftly. Before long, he saw a group of people hurtling along ahead, hot on the heels of a streak of light.

"Found it!"

His vast divine sense swept over them, and he hung far behind the crowd, watching to see who would take the Treasure Bone.

"Everyone, out of my way! The Rain Clan is conducting business! All unrelated parties, stand aside!"

Yu Xiao followed closely behind a Treasure Bone. Looking at the cultivators competing with him all around, he roared furiously.

An overwhelming aura, surging like mighty rivers, erupted from his body.

The cultivators beside him were caught by this sudden aura

so completely off guard that their bodies abruptly stalled.

Their faces instantly turned pale, but after hearing Yu Xiao's words, they dared not voice their anger.

The Rain Clan was also a dominant power in the Void God Realm. Running into its members here, they could only admit their bad luck.

Seeing this, a smug look immediately flashed across Yu Xiao's face.

With the Rain Clan's name behind him, he had never failed to obtain anything he set his sights on. Today would be no different.

The Divine Power within him surged out rapidly. He leaped forward and immediately landed behind the Treasure Bone.

With a sweep of his large hand, he scooped the Treasure Bone straight into his arms, then sped toward the Rain Clan's territory.

"The big fish has taken the bait!"
