Chapter 45: Where Did You Get That Scripture?
"My two elder brothers, thank you for your help some time ago. Not only did you save me from danger, but you also helped me successfully avenge the death of my son."
A hundred-meter-tall adult Pi Xiu, imposing and majestic, slightly bent its front legs and knelt before the Bi An and Ya Zi, one with a jackal body and dragon head, and the other with a tiger body and dragon head.
Ya Zi had a jackal body and dragon head.
Bi An had a tiger body and dragon head.
Both of these Pure-Blooded Ferocious Beasts possessed true dragon bloodline within them.
Their strength was more than a notch higher than that of the adult Pi Xiu.
They were not only close friends but had also sworn brotherhood in their early years.
Among them, Ya Zi was the eldest, Bi An ranked second, and the adult Pi Xiu was the third.
"Third brother, we are brothers. It is only right for brothers to stand up for each other. Why be so polite?" Bi An asked, its eyes as large as small hills.
Bi An, with its tiger body and dragon head, was known for its righteousness and willingness to help others throughout its life. It couldn't stand bullying people [beasts] and often upheld justice for people [beasts] when it was in the Heavenly Region of the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm.
The fact that the humans killed the young Pi Xiu and then attempted to surround and kill the adult Pi Xiu truly angered this righteous Bi An, making it unable to resist going on a killing spree.
"Third brother, why are you kneeling? Stand up!" Ya Zi roared, its voice like the collapse of Heaven and Earth.
"Big brother, I..."
The adult Pi Xiu stood up, its eyes filled with grievance.
Ya Zi ignored it and said calmly, "Since the human race is so despicable and shameless, and likes to exterminate others, we will also be despicable and shameless for once. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. They brought this upon themselves."
"If the Martial King Manor wasn't located in the Stone Country Imperial Capital, making it impossible to do anything under the Stone Country Human Emperor's nose... Hmph! I wouldn't spare the old, weak, women, and children of the Martial King Manor!"
Ya Zi, with its jackal body and dragon head, had a fierce and bloodthirsty personality, enjoying combat. It would repay a favor and avenge even the smallest grievance, and its revenge would inevitably involve bloodshed. It had long wanted to use the humans' shamelessness to deal with the shameless human race.
"By the way, third brother, didn't you go to snatch the Mountain Treasure? What, you didn't get it?"
Bi An walked over to the adult Pi Xiu. Its majestic body, also a hundred meters tall, subtly exuded a trace of true dragon might. Its eyes, comparable to small hills, were filled with curiosity.
"There was an accident, I didn't get it."
The adult Pi Xiu thought of Shi Yi, its expression somewhat dejected. Ten days and ten nights, a bloody battle spanning a hundred thousand li in the Great Wilderness, and it actually couldn't defeat this young supreme who relied on external objects to forcefully raise his strength.
"Vermillion Bird and Zhu Yan have already left. Among the Four Ferocious Beasts of the Great Wilderness, only Qiongqi and Heaven Swallowing Sparrow remain. Could it be that they snatched your Mountain Treasure?"
Ya Zi's eyes flashed with fierce light. As long as the adult Pi Xiu nodded, it would immediately go to the Great Wilderness and snatch back the Mountain Treasure that Qiongqi and Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had taken.
In the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, Universe, Cosmos, Vast, and Desolate, although there was no ranking, Ya Zi, who came from the Heavenly Region, didn't really think much of the Four Ferocious Beasts of the Great Wilderness.
Truly powerful ferocious beasts should roam the Eight Regions, not hide in the Desolate Region, dominating the Great Wilderness and even creating a so-called Four Ferocious Beasts of the Great Wilderness, which was a disgrace.
Furthermore.
In Ya Zi's opinion, Vermillion Bird and Zhu Yan at least had the backing of Fire Country and Stone Country. Heaven Swallowing Sparrow and Qiongqi were just two wild beasts; they wouldn't even know how they died if someone killed them.
"Big brother, it wasn't them. They have been keeping a low profile. The Mountain Treasure was ultimately snatched by a young supreme with Ten Celestial Passages." The adult Pi Xiu gently shook its head.
"A young supreme with Ten Celestial Passages? Could it be a prodigy from the Upper Realm?" Bi An gasped.
"His surname is Shi!" The adult Pi Xiu said softly.
"Surname Shi. The Double Pupil user, Shi Yi?"
Ya Zi instantly thought of a person, someone whose name had risen rapidly in Stone Country.
It wasn't that its reaction was so quick, but rather that Shi Yi's identity as a Double Pupil user was truly known to everyone in Stone Country. He was not only a prominent figure of the Martial King Manor but also the pride of Stone Country.
Although Shi Yi had disappeared for five years, his disappearance hadn't caused him to vanish without a trace. Instead, many people felt that Shi Yi, the Double Pupil user, was brewing something big.
"It's him, the direct descendant of the Martial King Manor, a Sage Reincarnation, the Double Pupil user Shi Yi. Not only did he successfully open Ten Celestial Passages, but with the aid of external objects, he can even fight me to a standstill."
The adult Pi Xiu was too embarrassed to say that as the fight progressed, it was already starting to lose. It could only shamelessly claim a standstill to preserve its meager face.
"This child will definitely become a great threat in the future," Ya Zi said without hesitation.
"It's not that he will definitely become a great threat in the future. If he can truly fight Third Brother to a standstill, he is already a major threat now," Bi An said.
"Second Brothers, this child Shi Yi's growth speed is astonishing. I'm afraid in a few more years, I won't be his opponent anymore."
The adult Pi Xiu gave Ya Zi and Bi An a heads-up in advance, because it felt that if they fought again next time, it might truly be unable to defeat Shi Yi.
"We have killed so many people, and many of Shi Yi's blood relatives are among them. An irreconcilable situation has already formed."
Ya Zi bared its bloody maw, slowly raised its massive head, and gazed calmly towards the east.
It knew.
The east was the direction of Stone Country.
"But that's Stone Country. The Human Emperor is there. We can't possibly break in. Unless we can capture Shi Yi's relatives again, it's impossible to lure him out and kill him."
Although Bi An was inherently just and righteous, when faced with irreconcilable matters, it wouldn't be indecisive or wishy-washy. Instead, it was much clearer-headed than ordinary people.
"Second Brothers, I have a plan!" the adult Pi Xiu suddenly said.
On the other side.
Shi Yi, far away in the Martial King Manor of Stone Country, still didn't know that he had become a major threat in the eyes of others.
He had become a thorn in their side, a pain in their flesh, someone they wanted to eliminate quickly, and they were even preparing schemes and plots.
Just as Shi Yi was about to cultivate, he was pulled into a dark rift by a willow branch that extended from the void.
The next second.
Shi Yi's vision spun. When he opened his eyes again, what came into view was the Willow Deity.
"Teacher, where is this place?"
Shi Yi swallowed, looking around. This place, only about a hundred square meters, was beautiful with green mountains and clear waters, and lush trees providing shade, but outside, it was filled with Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.
The so-called Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind were all things in the world.
Legend had it.
When a great world was destroyed, it would transform into the primordial Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.
The foundation of Yin and Yang Chaos, the principles of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, were all within. Recreating Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind meant completely shattering a great world and reassembling it into a new one.
"This is your own world. Can't you feel it?"
The Willow Deity sat on a wooden stump. In front of her was a stone platform, on which were placed some simple tea and snacks. Below the stone platform were a rune bone fragment, a black sphere, and a few pieces of precious bone.
"Of course I can feel it, I just can't believe it, the change is so big!"
Shi Yi didn't lie. When he first opened his Tenth Celestial Passage, everything was chaotic. Earth, water, fire, and wind were chaotic, and the power of Yin, Yang, Chaos, and the Five Elements was also chaotic.
Chaos, disorder, a complete mess. Although this Tenth Celestial Passage encompassed everything in the world, everything was also chaotic, so chaotic that Shi Yi couldn't distinguish anything at all.
What is Chaos?
What is Yin and Yang?
What are the Five Elements?
Earth, water, fire, and wind raged.
East, South, West, and North were inverted.
Time and space drifted uncertainly.
In short.
This was an unimaginably chaotic world. Although it contained everything, everything was also in disarray. If it couldn't be sorted out, it would inevitably become a stumbling block on Shi Yi's path of growth, and might even trap him forever in the Tenth Celestial Passage, preventing him from advancing an inch.
Indeed.
Shi Yi's Tenth Celestial Passage was truly unprecedented and unmatched. The Tenth Celestial Passage evolved from the Thirteen Dao Scriptures was unimaginably powerful, far surpassing the Tenth Celestial Passages opened by the young paragons of the same generation in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
But everything in the world follows cause and effect.
While Shi Yi's Tenth Celestial Passage was powerful, it also became a sturdy lock, firmly locking Shi Yi's path forward.
Unless.
Someone could sort out the earth, water, fire, and wind for him, sort out the Yin, Yang, and Chaos, sort out the power of the Five Elements, and forcibly open this lock, otherwise he would become the first young paragon to be trapped and die in the Tenth Celestial Passage.
Fortunately, Shi Yi usually fawned over the Willow Deity and was quite good to her.
He was extremely caring.
He was completely obedient.
While it didn't make her develop feelings and fall for a little brat like Shi Yi, it did accumulate a lot of goodwill, to the extent that she inwardly acknowledged that Shi Yi would be qualified to walk alongside her in the future.
Therefore.
Now, this Tenth Celestial Passage, the once chaotic Tenth Celestial Passage.
Not only was it sorted out very cleanly, but life had also appeared.
Shi Yi could clearly feel that the green grass under his feet, and the trees not far away, were all real, not an illusion meant to deceive people.
Actually.
This was also a kind of cause and effect. Without the Willow Deity's promise, Shi Yi would not have forcibly opened the Tenth Celestial Passage, and with the Willow Deity present, Shi Yi didn't need to worry about the problems he encountered in his early cultivation.
"Shi Yi, tell me, where did the scripture you recited come from?"
