Chapter 117: Shi Hao's Supreme Bone Regenerates
Seeing that everyone in the group had downloaded the Divine Cultivation Technique, Shi Jian closed the chat group. He then entered seclusion in Shi Village to Cultivate.
For him now, Cultivating in Shi Village and Cultivating in Zhulu Academy made little difference. Compared to Zhulu Academy, he still preferred to Cultivate in Shi Village.
Before entering seclusion, Shi Jian also passed on the Grass Character Sword Art and the Six Paths Reincarnation Heaven Skill to Shi Hao.
Shi Hao looked at these Cultivation Techniques with a troubled expression. Under Shi Jian's guidance, he had already laid a solid Foundation, but the profoundness of the Grass Character Sword Art was beyond his current Comprehension Ability.
Upon receiving the Cultivation Techniques, he looked at Shi Jian with a troubled expression. "Little Brother, these precious arts are too complex; I can't understand them all at once!"
Shi Jian chuckled upon hearing him, thinking, if one could learn them just by looking, wouldn't that be something?
He possessed the Library of the Heavens, which granted him extraordinary Comprehension Ability, making it easy to comprehend various Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities. Coupled with the Cultivation experience of other protagonist members in the group as guidance, his Cultivation speed was thus incredibly fast.
Although Shi Hao was the protagonist, he was still young and lacked deep accumulation. If he could reproduce the Divine Might of the Ten Vicious Precious Arts just by looking, then he wouldn't be Shi Hao, but Huang Tian Di.
"Take your time; you'll comprehend the Dao eventually. First, thoroughly grasp the Original True Understanding, and then slowly comprehend these precious arts…"
After giving his instructions, Shi Jian completely entered seclusion.
Upon receiving his instructions, Shi Hao also began to Cultivate diligently.
A few days later, Shi Hao came before Liu Shen: "Liu Shen, after Cultivating the Original True Understanding and the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength that Little Brother gave me, my strength has broken through the limit of 108,000 catties!"
"If I continue to Cultivate the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, I feel I can break through to an even higher limit. Should I continue Cultivating the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength or Breakthrough to the Cave Heaven Realm now?" Shi Hao asked Liu Shen, puzzled.
"You have reached the Blood Moving Extreme Realm, and your Foundation is already solid. Pursuing a higher extreme Realm is merely a waste of time!" Liu Shen's clear voice echoed in Shi Hao's ears.
"The Qi and strength tempered by the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength are unrelated to the Blood Moving Realm. This Cultivation Technique only increases strength and cannot Cultivate Realms. Cultivating Ancient Immortal Law and Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength concurrently is the Righteous Path!"
Considering that Shi Hao's understanding of the Cultivation system was not as deep as Shi Jian's, Liu Shen did not explain in too much detail. She simply told Shi Hao that he could proceed with the Breakthrough.
Shi Hao nodded thoughtfully after listening, then began to prepare for his Breakthrough to the Cave Heaven Realm.
He was less than five years old, yet he was attempting to Breakthrough to the Cave Heaven Realm with the qualifications of the Blood Moving Extreme Realm. If this were to spread, who knows how many people would be shocked!
Moreover, his Breakthrough to the Cave Heaven Realm was a very natural progression. Shi Jian had provided him with far too many resources.
Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart, a blood pool forged from a Qiongqi of the Venerable Realm… With the help of these two, Shi Hao not only wanted to Breakthrough to the Cave Heaven Realm, but he also wanted to use this opportunity to regenerate the bone in his chest.
Shi Hao entered the blood pool. On the blood pool, people from Shi Village were almost constantly Cultivating. There were children as young as seven or eight, and adults like Shi Feijiao.
After learning about the blood feud Shi Village carried, everyone in Shi Village held their breath. In the past, the adults in Shi Village always thought about reserving resources for the next generation, giving the good resources to the next generation.
They themselves would save as much as possible. Over time, their own Cultivation was delayed.
However, now with the terrifying existence of Shi Jian, the adults of Shi Village naturally no longer worried about the consumption of resources. They let go of their worries and fiercely focused on improving themselves.
Ignoring the people Cultivating, Shi Hao swam directly towards the center of the blood pool. With his current strength, he could not bear the violent energy at the very center of the blood pool.
This was, after all, the true blood of a Qiongqi. The true blood of a Vicious Beast at the Venerable level. A single drop of blood was enough to crush a large mountain.
The areas that people from Shi Village could now access were diluted a thousand or even ten thousand times. However, compared to the other people in Shi Village, Shi Hao was already the closest to the center of the blood pool.
The violent energy continuously impacted his Physical Body, and Shi Hao endured the pain to sit in the blood pool.
He did not immediately rush the Breakthrough, but instead calmed his mind and sat there, quietly comprehending a Divine Cultivation Technique: the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture.
From the time he started Cultivating until now, his deepest Cultivation progress was neither the Original True Understanding nor the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength. It was the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture.
Shi Hao never forgot what Shi Jian told him when he learned about his origins. The flourishing and wilting of plants, followed by their renewed flourishing.
Revival from silence, this was the Dao most suitable for him now. Because he had once experienced a burst of vitality.
His situation was similar to Liu Shen's, perfectly aligning with the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture! This Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture was also the key for him to regenerate his Supreme Bone.
Therefore, he Cultivated this Cultivation Technique with extreme diligence.
Shi Hao mobilized the vitality within his body, and an unprecedented life force blossomed within him.
He then took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart that Shi Jian had given him, cracked open its outer shell, and a golden-yellowish green liquid seeped out from within the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart.
Shi Hao swallowed it all in one gulp. A rich life Qi blossomed within his body. This external force and his own life force merged together.
The violent power of the Qiongqi's true blood surged into his body, and his Physical Body was like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring the true blood from the pool.
After these blood energies entered his body, they simultaneously destroyed his body and were transformed into life Qi by the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture.
Destruction and Rebirth occurred simultaneously within him. His chest emitted an earth-shattering aura.
Endless Venerable true blood transformed into flowing light, merging into his chest, ceaselessly.
"Is this revival from silence?"
Shi Hao felt the changes of the two extremes within his body, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He had once heard Shi Jian mention another Cultivation Technique during a casual conversation. It seemed to be called the Nine Revolutions Life-Death Profound Art.
It allowed one to be Reborn from death, a Cultivation Technique specifically for revival from silence.
Shi Jian also said that Cultivation Technique was very suitable for him, and each revolution could allow him to regenerate a Supreme Bone. However, Shi Jian had not yet obtained that Cultivation Technique.
Shi Hao thought that the Cultivation principle of that Cultivation Technique should be similar to his current situation.
Under the terrifying effect of the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture, Shi Hao's chest felt very, very itchy, as if something was about to break out. He absorbed the energy from the blood pool even more frantically.
"Not enough! Not enough!"
Shi Hao continued to move towards the deeper center of the blood pool. The closer he got to the center of the blood pool, the more violent the energy became.
This energy continuously destroyed Shi Hao's Physical Body, and cracks appeared all over his body! His own blood merged with the blood from the blood pool.
The incomparably violent power that entered his body was entirely refined by the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture, then transformed into life Qi and poured into his chest.
"Little Brat!"
The other people in Shi Village who were Cultivating in the blood pool were startled by the commotion. They all cast concerned glances towards Shi Hao.
Shi Hao's appearance was too terrifying now. However, Shi Hao ignored everything and continued to move deeper.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Not enough! Not enough! I want stronger power to avenge myself!"
"I want stronger power to clear the injustice of the Shi Clan…"
"I want stronger power to fight alongside Little Brother and Liu Shen…"
Shi Hao's gaze was incomparably firm.
His fate had been difficult since birth, and all disasters stemmed from the Supreme Bone. It was forcibly dug out, leading to the dispersion of his relatives, filled with blood and tears!
Now he wanted the Supreme Bone to regenerate and obtain stronger, higher power!
The entire blood pool shook, and the true blood within the blood pool surged towards him like a tide. In his chest, the Supreme blood revived, reaching its peak.
A small sun glowed, continuously condensing. However, it was still unable to take shape.
"Still a little short?"
It was truly too difficult to revive the Supreme Bone, even with the essence of Venerable-level flesh and blood as a Foundation, and the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture safeguarding the process.
But even so, it couldn't revive the Supreme Bone.
"If the Blood Moving Realm can't revive it, then I'll Breakthrough to the Cave Heaven Realm first!"
Shi Hao gritted his teeth, finally initiating the advancement at this critical moment.
Above his head, dense runes appeared, and terrifying Qi and blood surged into the sky, like crashing waves. Above his head appeared a grotto, like a volcano!
Cave Heaven! Within the volcanic cave, there was a vibrant surge of life, fresh and brilliant, flowing like magma!
The purpose of the Cave Heaven Realm was originally to connect with the natural order of heaven and earth, drawing spiritual essence from the outside world and fusing it with oneself.
Shi Hao took the opportunity of breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm to continuously absorb endless external Qi from the Divine Realm to replenish himself. This was an opportunity.
When first breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm, one's body would connect with the boundless Void Realm, from which the essence of heaven and earth would be refined. This was a chance to gain something for free.
Within the immensely heavy volcanic cave, vibrant red spiritual essence was refined downwards, then surged into Shi Hao's chest. The light on his chest became even brighter.
However, it still couldn't condense.
Venerable Realm true blood, Ten-thousand-year Willow Wood Heart, Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art, and the spiritual essence plundered from the heaven and earth by the Cave Heaven Realm.
Under the enhancement of various accumulations, Shi Hao still couldn't condense the Supreme Bone!
"No wonder Liu Shen said that revitalizing it would be extremely difficult!"
Shi Hao recalled their conversation back then. Liu Shen had told him then that it would be very difficult to make the Supreme Bone undergo Rebirth.
At that time, he didn't understand the difficulty involved, but now he did.
However, thinking of Shi Jian's trust in him at that time, Shi Hao's will gradually firmed up again. He absolutely could not disappoint his Big Brother.
If one Cave Heaven was not enough, then two, then three!!!
His body trembled, emitting another roar, with rays of light stretching for ten thousand miles, and another grayish-brown volcanic Cave Heaven appeared in the Void Realm.
Within this Cave Heaven, spiritual essence boiled, silver light surging, different from the fiery red magma of the previous Cave Heaven. However, it was also spiritual essence.
Amassing strength for a major burst, with spiritual essence as vigorous as the sea, Shi Hao's Breakthrough to the Cave Heaven Realm was clearly not as simple as just one Cave Heaven.
The matter did not stop there. Another Cave Heaven formed. Within this Cave Heaven was purple magma.
Three Cave Heavens were suspended above him, these three Cave Heavens rapidly, almost violently, plundering spiritual essence from the outside world to sustain themselves.
Under normal circumstances, Shi Village would naturally not have so much spiritual essence for him to plunder. But at this moment, he had just broken through, and the Cave Heaven was connected to the boundless Void Realm.
He could absorb frantically. Unlimited absorption. The spiritual essence of heaven and earth was no less helpful to him than Venerable true blood.
With three Cave Heavens appearing simultaneously, Shi Hao's body once again emitted a roaring sound, with rays of light stretching for ten thousand miles, and rumbling sounds echoing.
The scorching small sun on his chest turned into liquid, fusing together, revealing a glowing white bone fragment; this bone was not very large, not fully grown, only a small section, but it emitted an incomparably terrifying light.
Upon the bone, a terrifying miniature figure was Incarnated, sitting cross-legged, emitting waves of Dao sounds as if chanting scriptures.
The Supreme Bone, finally revived! A terrifying power emanated from this bone.
This power instantly replenished his Physical Body, and another Cave Heaven formed above Shi Hao's head.
Not only that, as the sound of the miniature figure chanting on the Supreme Bone intensified, Shi Hao's body once again emitted rays of light.
Another Cave Heaven! Five Cave Heavens. Upon breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm, Shi Hao directly condensed five great Cave Heavens.
Five volcanic-like Cave Heavens, with spiritual essence surging and magma flowing into his body, making his entire body full of vitality.
"Yeah, I made it!!!"
Excitement finally appeared on Shi Hao's small face. He not only broke through to the Cave Heaven Realm but also regenerated his Supreme Bone.
Shi Hao focused his attention on the bone fragment on his chest. "Is this the Supreme Bone? And it's a regenerated Supreme Bone?"
Shi Hao looked at this bone with a complicated expression. He could feel an extremely terrifying power contained within this bone. However, this bone was only in its initial stage of revival.
After its revival, it seemed to have fallen silent again. He was currently unable to activate the power within it.
"According to Big Brother, this should be a Second Turn Supreme Bone, and it's only in its initial stage of revival. To use Cultivation Realm terminology, is this the Early Stage of Second Turn Supreme Bone?"
Shi Hao couldn't help but ponder.
"The Second Turn Supreme Bone is far from the limit; it can still undergo Third Turn, Fourth Turn, which means this bone also needs to be dug out!"
"With the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture, even if I dig out the bone again, I can still revitalize my vitality and won't be in danger of losing my life…"
"If it can be combined with the Nine Revolutions Life-Death Profound Art that Big Brother mentioned, I might even be able to regenerate it directly after digging out the bone…"
Shi Hao's eyes lit up.
He now felt that he simply couldn't keep up with Shi Jian's pace. But if he could Cultivate the Nine Revolutions Supreme Bone, he should still have hope of catching up to Shi Jian.
"This little fellow seems to have undergone some transformation along with me?"
Shi Hao then looked at the Moyun Vine, which had now completely transformed into his external battle armor, providing him assistance and growing with him.
During the process of his Breakthrough and the regeneration of his Supreme Bone, his entire body had cracked, and the Moyun Vine was also affected, seeping into his skin and flesh.
He had established a higher level of connection with the Moyun Vine. The Moyun Vine seemed to have undergone an evolution as well.
Shi Hao could feel the little fellow transmitting joyful emotions.
"Big Brother said that the Moyun Vine could only accompany me in the Early Stage, but in the Late Stage, the Moyun Vine wouldn't be able to keep up with the progress of my Cultivation!"
Shi Hao was deep in thought.
During the time he was bound with the Moyun Vine, he was almost telepathically connected with this little fellow. He even brought it along when drinking milk.
The two already had an extremely deep bond. Unless absolutely necessary, Shi Hao didn't want to abandon the Moyun Vine in the future!
"The Moyun Vine seems to have the attribute of Devouring. If I want to Cultivate the Nine Revolutions Supreme Bone, I won't just dig out the bone once... The dug-out bone can be used by others..."
"Then why not give it to the Moyun Vine?"
A thoughtful look flashed in Shi Hao's eyes.
The Supreme Bone he dug out could also be considered a peerless treasure. Otherwise, the Heavy Pupils would not have dug out his bone.
Since people could use it, then the Moyun Vine could also use it.
If the Moyun Vine could fuse with the bone he dug out, its potential would definitely rise to another level. Evolving from vine armor to Supreme Bone Armor.
By then, he wouldn't have to worry about the Moyun Vine not keeping up with his pace. However many bones he dug out, he would give it that many bones.
The Moyun Vine was almost integrated with him, so in this way, he could still utilize the power of the dug-out bone.
The more Shi Hao thought about it, the more excited he became. I'm truly a Genius!!!
The Moyun Vine had already established a certain relationship by fusing with his Physical Body, and on this basis, the Moyun Vine was more or less connected to the Supreme Bone.
The compatibility of the Moyun Vine with the Supreme Bone was even higher than that with the Heavy Pupils, who were his blood relatives.
Moreover, this compatibility would continue to increase as the Moyun Vine's connection with him deepened.
"From now on, you shall be called the Supreme Vine. Don't worry, I will never abandon you. As long as I have a sip of milk, you will definitely have a sip of milk foam…"
The Supreme Vine also drank milk.
When the Supreme Vine was still the Moyun Vine, it would absorb the blood of creatures to nourish itself. In reality, it absorbed the energy within the blood.
And there was also energy in beast milk. Shi Hao had previously soaked the Supreme Vine in a milk jar. In a short while, a jar of milk was finished by the Supreme Vine.
That's why Shi Hao said that as long as he had a sip of milk, the Supreme Vine would have a sip of milk foam.
After the Supreme Vine sensed Shi Hao's thoughts, it transmitted joyful emotions. Don't tell me, don't tell me!
All of Shi Hao's milk was specially prepared for him by Shi Jian. It was milk from Vicious Beasts of the Array Formation King level.
The energy contained within it surpassed that of most Vicious Beasts' blood. How could the energy in the blood of those Vicious Beasts that the Supreme Vine used to absorb on Fog Island compare to Shi Hao's beast milk?
Therefore, after only a few days of soaking in beast milk, the Supreme Vine completely fell in love with it.
The Supreme Vine extended a light golden tendril, then nodded towards Shi Hao. This master is not bad!
Shi Hao felt a burst of joy in his heart after sensing the Supreme Vine's fondness for beast milk. He had finally found a kindred spirit in Shi Village.
"In the future, I'll get the Supreme Vine into the habit of soaking in beast milk. That way, when I take out beast milk, I can say it's prepared for the Supreme Vine, instead of admitting I haven't been weaned yet…"
"That way, I won't be ridiculed for drinking beast milk!"
"Even when I grow up, I can still use the Supreme Vine as an excuse…"
Shi Hao's little calculations clattered in his mind.
