A white cloud drifted by, carrying the Little One, and the sacred herb also landed there.
"Now that this matter is settled, I still need a female herb gatherer under my command..." Su Yu said calmly, his demeanor carrying a hint of domineering arrogance.
Qin Yining held the sacred medicine tightly, only looking at her child with concern, no longer caring much about the future.
The portal opened again, and a gentle force propelled the mother and child back to the outside world.
In front of the village, everyone saw the woman carrying the divine object and was filled with emotion. Then they bowed and kowtowed to the willow tree, believing that the tree was divine and would always protect the Stone Village.
"Heaven have mercy..."
When Shi Ziling saw the sacred medicine in his wife's hand, his nose tingled with tears. He knelt heavily before the tree. It is said that a man's heart is as hard as iron until death, but facing his wife and children, this tough man's eyes turned red, and large tears fell, splashing up dust.
The previous pressure had almost driven him to the brink of collapse, but now that his wife had brought him Divine Medicine, he was truly grateful to the local Sacrificial Spirit.
"Chirp chirp..."
The Five-Colored Sparrow fluttered its wings, its eyes turning green the moment it saw the purple rose, and it wanted to pounce on it. At the critical moment, a green willow branch wrapped around it, temporarily suppressing the greedy demon bird.
"My holy medicine..."
The Five-Colored Sparrow, bound to a branch, spoke in a human voice, filled with deep resentment, startling everyone present.
"You've had a hard time," Shi Ziling whispered, feeling ashamed to face his wife. He couldn't bear it for more than a month, and cried out to vent his inner bitterness.
The fact that the willow tree has now manifested its power is enough to show that he was not sincere, which is shameful.
When she saw her husband again, Qin Yining was in tears and felt very guilty. But when she glanced at her child, her expression became more resolute, and she did not regret her choice.
"Quick, don't let the medicine take effect."
Smelling the medicinal fragrance around them, the old clan chief felt a pang of heartache and hurriedly called on everyone to treat the Little One as soon as possible, worried that the medicine might not be effective enough to save Little One.
Shi Ziling wiped away his tears, carefully stepped forward, and used his divine power to envelop the sacred medicine, refining it drop by drop into the Little One's mouth.
As the medicine entered his mouth, Shi Hao, who had been unconscious, opened his lips and began to glow. His broken Supreme Bone and destroyed meridians were covered with a layer of amethyst frost, making him feel warm all over, and his pale face regained color.
"It works..." Shi Ziling cried and laughed at the same time. As a father, he was both sobbing and laughing heartily, truly loving his poor child.
The others present were also overjoyed, deeply moved by the couple's story. Those with children, in particular, were moved to tears by the sight.
In the crowd, Qin Yining looked at Shi Hao, who was gradually recovering, and a maternal tenderness appeared on her face.
At the same time, she was reluctant to leave her child, but she had no choice; the adult had spoken, and she had no option.
With her intelligence, she naturally understood that this was a good thing. As a married woman, she knew she couldn't possibly attract a Upper Realm Sect Master.
It was originally a fleeting encounter, but that sir first found the sacred medicine and then was willing to take her away instead of discarding her like a worn-out shoe, which is enough to prove his kind heart...
"But I really can't bear to Hao'er..."
The night was long, Qin Yining held the Little One, unwilling to put him down for even a moment. Her eyes even held a greedy look as she gazed at the child's rosy cheeks, never tiring of looking at him.
The Little One was simply nursing, his tiny feet clad in animal skin socks, nestled securely against his mother.
He subconsciously knew what had happened, and his little hands clung tightly to the woman. His mother's embrace was warm and soft, and he gradually drifted off to sleep...
Shi Ziling stood by, witnessing this heartwarming scene.
As he turned his head to look out the simple wooden window at the dark wilderness, a chill ran through him, and his eyes flashed with coldness as he recalled everything about the Martial King Manor. This cause and effect was not yet over.
The person who took his child's Supreme Bone is still alive, and has become the number one genius in the Stone Kingdom!
"A born Saint... My Hao'er is a million times stronger than you! My nephew, in twenty years, my Hao'er will go and kill you, take your eyes and bones!" Shi Ziling walked out of the house silently, his hair flying wildly, his face contorted, his fists clenched tightly. He looked towards the direction of the Stone Kingdom from high above, like an angry lion roaring.
At the village entrance, Su Yu, suspended in the Void above the willow tree, also gazed at the small house. After a long while, his eyes fell, accompanied by a sigh.
This sigh was not tinged with guilt.
Having cultivated to this point, a woman could hardly stir his emotions; breaking the seal was a crucial matter that had to be accomplished.
Survival comes first, then morality.
Su Yu had thought this through very clearly. All his previous excuses and inquiries were merely attempts to make the woman feel better. His heart was as hard as stone.
"The karma of the Immortal Emperor's mother has not yet broken the karmic chain that Self Severing..." Su Yu looked at his body and saw that the Great Dao chains binding the little man of his primordial spirit were still there, with Bronze Flowers of Time lingering around, like a malignant sore that was difficult to remove.
Qin Yining's causal power was incredibly dense. The moment the two joined, the seal was broken, allowing him to enter the Self Severing and extract the Chaotic Blood Elixir from his body, greatly increasing his combat power.
But it was precisely breaking through the first seal that allowed him to see the truth.
Blood Manipulation, Grotto-Heaven, Spirit Transformation, Cauldron Inscription, Formation Array, Venerable, Divine Flame, Heavenly God... Deep within Su Yu's primordial spirit, eight layers of chains are still hidden!
Although the chain that severed my Self Severing, the other eight chains remained. Even after the dual cultivation with Qin Yining was over, he had only barely broken through one chain, and there were still seven shackles binding him. Under these constraints, he could only unleash one-fifth of his combat power.
Based on Su Yu's understanding of jade pendants, the special effects of purple jade are most effective on pure virgins. If a woman is not a virgin, the effect is reduced by more than half—this has already been proven on the Undying Heavenly Empress.
Qin Yining was already quite exceptional; relying on half of her causal power, she helped Su Yu break free from two shackles...
Su Yu currently has two choices: one is to break through to the next realm, but his combat power is still sealed;
Secondly, they opened up the lower realms, breaking the divine power seal and gradually restoring their full combat strength.
He had a premonition that even if he broke through to the next realm, when he finally reached the Supreme, these chains of the Great Dao would suppress him tightly, making it difficult for him to break through to the Supreme Realm.
"It's a pity that it's still difficult to shake the True Immortal's body, otherwise everything could be resolved..." Su Yu murmured. These layers of chains were too oppressive to him and had to be removed.
His true form was Immortal King, but in the Chaotic Ancient Era before the ages, everything was different.
Suddenly, looking at Shi Ziling standing guard outside, Su Yu's understanding of this world gradually became clearer. The gray mist dissipated, revealing the truth, and he remembered someone.
The next moment, a pair of Kun Peng Wings sprouted from his back, their feathers dazzling. Between their separation and reunion, one after another Great Dao Rules appeared, traversing the Void and disappearing into the Great Wilderness.
Stone Kingdom, Martial King Manor
In the courtyard belonging to Shi Ziteng's lineage, everything was in mourning, with everyone dressed in white and standing solemnly before the coffin in front of the hall.
The funeral had been going on for ten days, and many high-ranking people had come; the crowds were so large that it resembled a scene of extravagant feasting.
Not for any other reason than for the child kneeling before the coffin.
"This is what it means to Double-Pupiled One; they are already exceptional individuals, destined to soar to great heights with that bone."
"His mother is ruthless; she didn't hesitate to target another branch of the Martial King Manor for her son's sake. It's a pity for Shi Ziling. Once the Double-Pupiled One grows up, he will definitely not let his mother's killer go unpunished. Shi Ziling has no choice but to die."
Those who had been granted titles communicated with each other using divine sense, and were deeply moved. What was happening here was not a secret to the kings and nobles of the Stone Kingdom.
Because Shi Ziling caused a scene at the Martial King Manor, it was impossible to cover it up. Even the royal family members had to investigate. However, in the end, it was no use. Shi Ziteng's lineage was too powerful. With the backing of the Demon Spirit Lake, Shi Ziling and his wife were forced to flee to the Great Wilderness.
As for the child whose Supreme Bone had been removed, nobody cared. Nobody believed that child could survive...
Because of her son's status, Yu Clan was nailed to death by Shi Ziling, a tragic end, but she achieved her goal. Shi Yi's talent was unparalleled in the capital, and everyone knew that this child was destined for greatness, hence their attendance at today's funeral...
Chapter 773 A Man, Corpse Refining
In the solemn and dignified burial temple, dark ghost flowers bloom, surrounded by divine light, and a bronze coffin is surrounded by various ancient paintings.
A little boy of about three years old knelt before the bronze coffin. Although he was young, he had an extraordinary composure. Even after his mother passed away, was nailed to death by his uncle, and his body lay in the bronze coffin amidst bloodshed, he remained very restrained and did not shed a single tear.
Today is the tenth day, and the day of vigil is approaching. Many people from the Yu Clan's maternal clan have come, with several elders at the Spirit Transformation Realm leading the way. A moment later, a light drizzle fell, and a figure appeared in the mist, walking step by step with a terrifying rhythm. In the end, it resonated with the heavens and earth, as if it had become one with them!
A Marquis from the Rain Clan descended upon Shi Yi, becoming his maternal uncle, a position of extremely high rank. Shi Ziteng was still cultivating at the Demon Spirit Lake and had not yet reached that level. Although his father, Shi Yuan, was highly qualified, he was far inferior to the Marquis and could only be ranked second.
" Yi'er..."
"Uncle."
Shi Yi looked up, and his Double Pupils revived. He had four pupils in total, and they shone with divine light, faintly exuding a sense of majesty. In ancient times, those with Double-Pupiled One were saints or gods. The few who had appeared were all extraordinary figures who shook the world.
In fact, Shi Yi is truly extraordinary. He is exceptionally talented, learns everything very quickly, far surpassing his peers, and lives up to the title of the ancient Double-Pupiled One. Now, he also possesses the Supreme Bone, making his talent absolutely unparalleled in heaven and earth. He naturally has the qualifications to compete for the title of Stone Emperor.
Even prominent figures in the Rain Clan must show respect when facing Double-Pupiled One...
"Let me see your mother one last time..." The middle-aged man shook his head. Outside, the rain and mist were dense and thick, and the water droplets were crystal clear, making this ancient place seem even more secluded.
After he spoke, Shi Yi remained silent and rose from his kneeling position. Immediately, a servant from the Martial King Manor stepped forward and carefully opened the coffin.
Inside the dark blue bronze chamber, a woman lay quietly. She was exceptionally beautiful, with a rosy complexion, jet-black hair, and a slender figure. She wore a magnificent black phoenix gown and was bathed in a sacred, ocean-like glow, which made her appear even more graceful, noble, and elegant.
She appeared to be asleep, her skin fair and not pale, with a faint Life force flowing between her delicate noses. Around her were radiant divine flowers, dazzling and sacred, like stars guarding the Beichen. In addition, there were strange divine treasures and rare artifacts placed inside the coffin.
This was an extremely grand funeral; the coffin alone was extraordinary, capable of preserving the deceased's body Immortal of the Foreign Realm several years.
Shi Yi stared at his mother, his face expressionless, as if the woman lying in the coffin had nothing to do with him.
A moment later, he turned his head and looked at the ground. Whether he felt any regret was something only this born Saint knew.
"Let's begin..."
The Rain Clan leader waved his hand, and instantly sacrificial music began to play, its grand sound resounding throughout the ancient land. A group of attendants stepped forward, closed the coffin lid, and then sealed it with nails, while simultaneously laying intricate bone patterns on the bronze coffin...
"Mother..."
As he watched the bronze coffin being sealed, Shi Yi closed his eyes, a faint sorrow on his face. Separation in life and death, never to see each other again. Only at this moment did this extraordinary man show a hint of the demeanor of a three-year-old child.
However, he quickly calmed himself down, his eyes remaining calm and composed, still the natural Saint he once was. But hidden within him was a ruthless intent, and he made a vow.
"Mother, I will avenge you, I will kill that man. Don't worry, this bone is good, it will make me stronger..."
Just as Shi Yi was immersed in his inner world, a divine sound rang out, piercing his ears with a sharp pain, like the wind from the Immortal Palace, sweeping across the six directions and eight wastelands, leaving his soul empty.
"His soul is flawless, and he hasn't been reincarnated. That's ruthless enough; no wonder he'll achieve great things in the future..."
Shi Yi's expression changed drastically, but he remained calm.
This is the Martial King Manor, the Stone Kingdom Imperial Capital. His maternal clan is the Rain King Mansion, and his father cultivates in the secluded sacred mountain, Demon Spirit Lake. No one dares to cause trouble here.
"Who are you?" he asked, his eyes flashing like lightning as he opened and closed, revealing the extraordinary nature of Double-Pupiled One.
"I am... your nightmare..."
The Daoist voice, of unknown origin, was very soft, yet it exuded an ancient and boundless aura, as if it spanned countless ages.
Suddenly, a terrifying sword aura tore through the sky, emanating an extremely powerful aura, like a dark Taiyang that obscured everything, dominating heaven and earth, an unparalleled and terrifying phenomenon, and crashed down downwards.
"Sizzle!"
Shi Yi's eyes were bloodshot, his pupils shooting out two astonishing beams of light, and he let out a low roar.
This didn't sound like a child's voice at all; it was cold, angry, and even ferocious, sending chills down one's spine.
"No!"
But before this sword energy, all his struggles were futile. In despair, he was beheaded. His head fell off, and his divine eyes looked at the glaring blood splattered on his neck and the small body, filled with boundless hatred.
He hasn't fully matured yet. He possesses the gift of Double Pupils and the bone structure he acquired at such a great cost. Give him time, and he will fear nothing...
