Heaven Mending Pavilion

Jun Moxiao checked what he had gained from checking in at the Void God Realm. The Void God Realm counts as an iconic scene too. The rewards should be pretty good.

System: Congratulations on checking in at the Void God Realm. Seal unlocked. Strength increased to eleven cave heavens. Acquired the Haotian Pagoda, one of the ten great divine artifacts of ancient mythology, and twenty drops of Supreme Liquid.

"Holy shit! The Haotian Pagoda!" Jun Moxiao exclaimed. "That's a divine artifact from Great Wilderness mythology! So what rank would this Haotian Pagoda be in the Perfect World?"

Meng Die explained, "Don't overthink it. The Great Wilderness World and this world are on different levels, so you can't compare them. The Haotian Pagoda this system gave you is a Quasi-Immortal Emperor weapon, not the one from the Great Wilderness World. Your strength is too low right now, though, so you can't unleash its full power. This divine artifact is only a replica. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths couldn't withstand a divine artifact from the Great Wilderness World. Think about it: a bunch of Immortal Kings from the Foreign Realm could smash an entire Primordial Ancient World to pieces, and those Immortal Kings are only equivalent to Immortal Kings here. That means this world isn't all that large. Besides, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has a Cosmic Frontier. Have you ever heard of the Great Wilderness World having a Cosmic Frontier?"

Jun Moxiao thought that made sense, but the rewards from this trip were still enormous.

Jun Moxiao said to the system, "Among the myriad heavens and worlds, the Great Wilderness World should be the highest-ranked."

Meng Die replied, "The Earth of your previous life was also a fragment of the Great Wilderness World, and its most central fragment at that. That place is the highest-ranked."

"Of course," Jun Moxiao said. "The myriad heavens and worlds were all created by countless great masters on Earth."

Shi Hao's and Jun Moxiao's spirit bodies returned to their flesh. When they woke and saw everyone from Stone Village gathered before the Willow Deity, Shi Hao shouted excitedly.

"Grandpa Chief, are you all here to welcome us?"

Old Grandpa chuckled. "The Willow Deity just conjured up images, so we were all watching you two boys fight! You little fellows caused quite a stir."

Shi Qingfeng cheered, "Big Brother, you were amazing!"

"Mm! You fought well, but you were too conspicuous, especially Xiaoxiao. Be more careful next time." The Willow Deity felt that the two little fellows had drawn too much attention and would attract people with ulterior motives.

Shi Hao said pitifully to the Willow Deity, "But Willow Deity, I still can't compare to Xiaoxiao! He wasn't even using his full strength."

"Shi Hao, you're already doing very well. Don't compare yourself to Xiaoxiao. Only by continually surpassing yourself can you go farther. Xiaoxiao, show him your strength."

The Willow Deity felt that Shi Hao was already outstanding and had no need to compare himself to Jun Moxiao. She also told Jun Moxiao to summon his eleven cave heavens for Shi Hao to see.

When Jun Moxiao revealed his eleven cave heavens, everyone in Stone Village was dumbfounded. Even the Willow Deity, who had seen countless grand spectacles, was surprised.

Shi Hao exclaimed, "No wonder this guy is so strong! Eleven cave heavens! Heavens!"

Old Grandpa Shi Yunfeng hurriedly asked, "Willow Deity, did a genius like Xiaoxiao ever appear in the ancient era?"

"No. Most First Generation Supremes in the Upper Realm have ten cave heavens, while the Eight Lower Domains have never produced a genius with ten cave heavens. This little fellow has completely broken the rules of the Heavenly Dao."

The Willow Deity recalled the scene when the little fellow arrived in this world. Time throughout the entire world had stopped for three seconds. It had to have been connected to him.

Jun Moxiao told Shi Hao, "Shi Hao, ten cave heavens are nothing, and eleven aren't much either. I believe you can do it too and break past eleven cave heavens. I suspect Shi Yi might have ten cave heavens as well. You have to surpass ten cave heavens. You can give him a good dose of anger that way too."

Shi Hao waved his fist, his fighting spirit soaring. "I have seven cave heavens now. I'll keep working hard with you as my goal. Compared to you, Shi Yi is trash."

Jun Moxiao told everyone that he wanted to go to the Heaven Mending Pavilion. He had been in this world for so long; it was time to leave the starter village.

"The Heaven Mending Pavilion has already invited us to join. We're planning to go gain some experience and broaden our horizons."

Shi Yunfeng was the first to agree. "Children, Stone Village is too small and will limit your growth. It's time for you to go out and broaden your horizons. The Heaven Mending Pavilion is a pure land passed down from ancient times. It's very suitable for you."

Shi Yunfeng also felt it was time to let the two little fellows leave Stone Village. Otherwise, their talents would be buried.

Shi Hao suggested to everyone, "We're planning to take Qingfeng too, so he can cultivate better as well."

The Willow Deity also instructed Shi Hao to return for another baptism before he turned thirteen. He must not miss it.

That evening, Stone Village prepared a feast of fierce beasts as a farewell for the three boys. After all, once these little fellows left, it would be a long time before they returned.

Jun Moxiao came before the Willow Deity and told her about the Void God Realm. "Sister Willow Deity, I met two old men in the Void God Realm. They were very mysterious and seemed like important figures."

"I've recovered some memories and have some impressions of them. They were once Immortal King experts. A powerful figure placed them in the Void God Realm to oversee it."

Naturally, the Willow Deity knew the origins of those two old men in the Void God Realm. They were both figures from the same era as her.

Jun Moxiao took out ten drops of Supreme Liquid for the Willow Deity and explained, "Sister Willow Deity, these are ten drops of Supreme Liquid. Absorb them. They'll help your recovery."

The Willow Deity accepted without standing on ceremony and said to the little fellow, "Xiaoxiao, I've been taking more and more treasures from you. With all these treasures, aren't you keeping any for yourself?"

The Willow Deity thought, This little fellow treats me so well. Whenever he has something good, he gives it to me. He trusts me completely!

Of course Jun Moxiao had to help the Willow Deity recover her strength. The stronger she was, the safer he would be.

"Don't stand on ceremony, Sister Willow Deity. The better you recover, the safer I'll be. We're all relying on your protection right now."

"Mm! I can still protect you in the lower domains." The Willow Deity had high hopes for this little fellow and wanted to see how far he could grow in the future.

Jun Moxiao reckoned that the Willow Deity had already recovered to the Escape One Realm. In the original story, her cultivation seemed to have been around the Supreme level when she left the lower domains.

The Heaven Mending Pavilion's recruitment day arrived. They could not delay any longer; it was time to set out.

Under the reluctant gazes of everyone in Stone Village, the three boys embarked on their journey. Wherever they went, fierce beasts suffered. Fueled by fierce beast feasts and the Spring of Life Jun Moxiao gave him, Shi Hao advanced as though he had cheats enabled, breaking through to eight cave heavens, while Shi Qingfeng broke through to three cave heavens.

At the Rain King Mansion, an old man instructed the Rain Clan members to issue orders. They would not spare any genius who threatened Shi Yi.

"According to news from the Void God Realm, that little fellow called Loves Drinking Beast Milk looks somewhat like Shi Ziling did as a child. He's very likely the Shi Hao from back then. It seems his Supreme Bone has revived, making him even stronger. I hear he's going to the Heaven Mending Pavilion. Pass down the order: send people to the Heaven Mending Pavilion and find an opportunity to eliminate him in secret, along with that Invincible Handsome Guy who's with him. That boy is even more terrifying. The Desolate Region only needs one Yi'er. We must remove the stumbling blocks in his path."

Likewise, Shi Yi's branch of the Martial King Manor had the same idea and sent people to infiltrate the Heaven Mending Pavilion. Shi Yi himself was sent to its Ancient Sacred Academy.

They felt that one Shi Yi was enough for the Martial King Manor, while the Neutral Faction bitterly cursed the manor for having forced two great prodigies into becoming enemies.

When the Heaven Mending Pavilion learned that Invincible Handsome Guy and Loves Drinking Beast Milk were joining, all its senior figures leaped with excitement. Pavilion Master Yun Fei even ordered everyone to keep their eyes wide open and watch carefully for the two peerless prodigies.

The Fire Emperor of the Fire Kingdom also sent Huo Ling'er to the Heaven Mending Pavilion. His aim was obvious: he wanted his precious daughter to befriend those two boys. If she ended up with either one, it would be an enormous gain.

Meanwhile, along the road, Jun Moxiao said to Shi Hao, "Hao Tian, we caused such a commotion in the Void God Realm that the Rain Clan has probably discovered you. They're surely looking for ways to deal with you now. We'd better change our appearances!"

Shi Hao asked Furball, and the two learned a little of the Transformation Art from him. Just as in the original story, Shi Hao turned himself into a little fatty. Jun Moxiao took on another appearance-that of Kong Hongjun from the animated series Legend of Exorcism-and remained a handsome boy.

"Hao Tian, isn't this way too obvious? Who's that fat? With such a big belly, anyone would see there's something wrong!"

Jun Moxiao looked at Shi Hao, who had indeed become a round, roly-poly fatty, and found it hilarious.

Shi Hao, however, really liked this look. "I think it's great. We'll go with this. Once we enter the Heaven Mending Pavilion, we'll be safe."

Shi Qingfeng reminded Shi Hao, "Big Brother, you should listen to Brother Xiaoxiao. What child is that fat? It looks too fake, and that belly is far too big. The proportions are all wrong!"

Shi Hao waved his hand dismissively. "Relax! It'll be fine. We're only disguising ourselves for a little while. We'll change back after the assessment."

Jun Moxiao teased him, "You've made yourself so fat, but your clothes are so short they only cover half of you. That doesn't quite match!"

Looking at Shi Hao's round body, Shi Qingfeng could not help laughing.

Chatting and laughing along the way, the three arrived at the Heaven Mending Pavilion's Mountain Gate. Shi Hao took out the token Xia Youyu had given him earlier, handed it to Shi Qingfeng, and told him to enter the pavilion directly.

"Qingfeng, take this token to the Admissions Elder. You can enter the Genius Camp directly without taking the assessment."

Shi Qingfeng asked worriedly, "But what about you two, Big Brother?"

"We're so strong that we can easily pass on our own merits. Hurry along!"

Shi Hao waved his fist. With the pair's formidable strength, entering the Heaven Mending Pavilion was a trivial matter.

Jun Moxiao looked at the dense sea of people. There had to be over ten thousand, with probably seven or eight thousand prospective students. There were far too many.

He also saw Huo Ling'er and Shi Yi. Both had arrived in conspicuous style, riding luxurious carriages with dedicated guards escorting them. The prodigies of major powers certainly traveled with all the pomp and swagger.

"Even the Fire Emperor's daughter and Shi Yi from the Martial King Manor are here."

Seeing these noble scions arrive, the crowd could not help exclaiming in admiration.

"Shi Yi, with Double Pupils and Supreme Bone-that godlike man."

"Shi Yi may be godlike, but those two geniuses from the Void God Realm aren't weak either, especially that invincible handsome guy."

"I think Invincible Handsome Guy is the most formidable prodigy. Even the Void God Realm called him a genius who is the Only One in Ten Thousand Ages."

Geniuses always drew attention, much less a peerless genius like Jun Moxiao, the Only One in Ten Thousand Ages.

Jun Moxiao whispered to Shi Hao, "Hao Tian! Your Fat Girl is here too, along with Shi Yi."

The moment Shi Hao heard Shi Yi's name, an unbidden fire flared in his heart.

"Stay calm, stay calm," Jun Moxiao said. "A mere little bone-stealing thief has you this angry? Broaden your outlook. Don't pay him too much mind. Find a chance to beat him up later."

"Right. What does Shi Yi amount to? He's just a petty thief. Why should I bother with him?"

Shi Hao calmed down. My goal is to catch up to Xiaoxiao. Quibbling with Shi Yi would be too narrow-minded.

Then the two blended into the crowd of ordinary disciples and swaggered into the Heaven Mending Pavilion with strides that acknowledged neither kith nor kin.
