Chapter 113: Shi Hao and the Cloud Swallowing Vine

After the Blood of Sin, the Blood of Sin will condense on the forehead, with Holy Light like a torch. Those with profound Blood of Sin can even condense a pattern on their forehead, with a beam of light soaring into the sky. And this so-called Blood of Sin is the Bloodline of the Shi Clan. The stronger the Bloodline, the stronger the condensed light beam. This is the so-called Blood of Sin Breaking Through the Clouds. People from those great sects, fearing the rise of the Shi Clan's descendants, specifically crafted some holy artifacts that could test the Bloodline of the Shi Clan members. The beam of light that Shi Hao had previously unleashed had already shaken all directions, alarming countless great sects. Shi Jian's Foundation was too profound, so the light of his Sin Blood Rune shot straight into the Ninth Heaven. Now, the Blood of Sin Breaking Through the Clouds unleashed by Shi Hao was equally terrifying. A ray of light pierced into the heavenly rain, illuminating the entire area, enchanting and elusive. "Another Blood of Sin Breaking Through the Clouds. Even some great Vicious Beasts in the past only manifested a single pattern..." "There is actually another person whose 'Sin' character condensed, reflecting the heavens, manifesting this character in the sky!" This huge commotion once again stirred the Upper Realm. Countless people were shocked after feeling this commotion. The Blood of Sin Breaking Through the Clouds was not an easy phenomenon to trigger. People with ordinary talent could only trigger some light points. Those with outstanding talent could only display one or two patterns. But Shi Hao and Shi Jian both displayed the complete 'Sin' character! "Little Brother, is this the 'Sin' character?" Shi Hao looked at the character appearing above his head, his heart filled with a sense of fury! Sin? This character was actually engraved within his Bloodline. "Before, this character wasn't 'Sin', but 'Shi', representing a kind of glory, but its original meaning no longer exists, so it became 'Sin'!" Shi Jian spoke with a cold tone. "Remember, we are not descendants of the Blood of Sin. Our ancestors are still fighting to this day..." Shi Jian took out his Heavenly Desolation. Then, he decisively slashed towards the 'Sin' character in the Void Realm. With a tearing sound, the Heavenly Desolation seemed to break something. The blood clouds in the sky churned, the 'Sin' character shattered, and the true 'Shi' character was once again revealed. The same 'Shi' character as Shi Jian's! "The Blood of Sin taking form, light soaring from the forehead, illuminating the sky. One might even think their ancestors have returned..." "The descendants of the Blood of Sin must not be allowed to grow..." "What's going on with this Lower Realm? How did two terrifying descendants of the Blood of Sin appear in a row?" In the Upper Realm, the voices of some ancient existences began to rise in discussion. The Residual Immortals who had just fallen asleep awakened once again. Such terrifying descendants of the Blood of Sin truly made their hearts turn cold. "Open the passage! We must go to the Lower Realm and slay the great Vicious Beasts of the Blood of Sin!" The eyes of terrifying existences were cold. Some strong individuals, feeling uneasy, even wanted to divine the situation of the Blood of Sin descendants. However, as soon as they made a move, they were met with a terrifying backlash, coughing up blood. Countless great sects were once again shaken. An endless stream of resources was continuously sent by them, intending to quickly open the passage to the Lower Realm. Some elders from Sin State also noticed the situation of the Blood of Sin Breaking Through the Clouds in the Lower Realm. Their hearts were filled with both relief, worry, and fear. In ancient times, the Shi Clan had also flourished, producing some extraordinary figures, truly astonishing, but a massive hand descended from the sky, directly leveling the ancient kingdom and burying the Shi Clan. Now, after countless eras, the Shi Clan has grown weaker and weaker. It has been unknown how many years since a Prodigy of the Blood of Sin Breaking Through the Clouds level has appeared. Now that two have appeared at once, the people of the Shi Clan are naturally excited. They also yearn for a Prodigy to emerge from the Shi Clan. A master who can illuminate ancient and modern times, and awe the world. One who can wash away the humiliation of the entire Shi Clan. However, the probability of such a situation occurring is simply too low. None of the great sects in the Upper Realm view the Blood of Sin Breaking Through the Clouds as anything but a hidden danger. Whenever such a Genius appears, they will spare no effort to eliminate him. Now, these two Prodigies both come from the Lower Realm. The Lower Realm faces a cleansing every countless years. How can the people of the Lower Realm possibly grow stronger? "Does our Shi Clan truly have no hope?" Some old Shi Clan members who knew the inside story muttered, tears blurring their eyes, as they knelt for a long time towards the direction of the former Shi Clan Ancient Kingdom. "The Shi Clan is not a sinner..." Shi Hao firmly remembered Shi Jian's words. Not only him, but the other people in Shi Village also firmly remembered this sentence. Their hearts were filled with humiliation and anger. It was as if a monstrous rage was waiting to be unleashed. They wished they could immediately rush to the Upper Realm. Shi Jian looked at everyone, then said word by word: "From today onwards, all of you must Cultivate diligently. When you have achieved success in your Cultivation, I will take you to the Upper Realm to slaughter all the ancient great sects!" "Little Brother, don't worry!" Shi Hao spoke with great vigor. Originally, his purpose for training so hard was to defeat the Heavy Pupils, to avenge the bone-digging incident. But now, in addition to that goal, he had a deeper one: to wash away the humiliation of the Shi Clan! "Little Stone, we will definitely work hard!" The other adults and children in Shi Village also looked at Shi Jian seriously. Although their talent and strength were not comparable to Shi Jian and Shi Hao, no matter what happened, they would firmly stand behind Shi Hao and Shi Jian. "Then let's begin to Cultivate..." After seeing their invigorated appearance, Shi Jian smiled slightly and then took out the corpses of some Array Realm King-level Vicious Beasts. "Let all the eligible children in the village undergo Physical Body baptism. You are all too weak right now..." Before long, several large pots were set up again. One by one, the children stripped off their clothes and climbed inside, gritting their teeth, accepting the baptism of the Vicious Beast's true blood. Not a single person cried out in pain or exhaustion. "I once heard of the fame of the Seven Kings of the Border, but I never expected there to be such a profound connection..." Liu Shen's somewhat complex voice sounded in Shi Jian's ear. She had also participated in the great war of the Immortal Ancient Era. She was also in the same camp as the Seven Kings of the Border. It was just that her battlefield was even more Advanced. When she settled in Shi Village, it was also partly due to the Seven Kings of the Border. She saw that the people of Shi Village were descendants of the Seven Kings of the Border. But she did not know that there were so many hidden connections. The Seven Kings of the Border were still fighting in Emperor Pass, but their descendants were reduced to the Blood of Sin, being hunted and killed. "I will naturally settle the Shi Clan's accounts with those Upper Realm forces, one by one!" Shi Jian responded to Liu Shen very calmly. A few Residual Immortals who didn't even dare to go to Emperor Pass were acting arrogantly in the rear. When his Cultivation improved, the first ones he would kill would be these Residual Immortals. "If there are any opponents you cannot defeat, I will make a move!" Liu Shen also spoke faintly. She also found these Residual Immortals very displeasing. However, since Shi Jian said he would deal with them himself, then let them live a little longer. Liu Shen believed that with Shi Jian's speed of improving his Cultivation... In at most a hundred years, he would probably be able to achieve the Supreme Realm! With his terrifying combat power, slaying Residual Immortals would be an easy matter. It was even possible that he could achieve the Immortal King Realm, not just the Supreme Realm, though that might take a bit longer. "In a while, the Upper Realm passage should be opened. At that time, it is estimated that experts of the Divine Flame Realm will make a move!" Shi Jian spoke of the Lower Realm's great tribulation, and a hint of eagerness appeared in his eyes. He now slaughters Venerables like butchering dogs. He just didn't know how he would fare against a strong person in the Divine Flame Realm? After all, there was a considerable difference between the Divine Flame Realm and the Venerable Realm. Their combat power was incomparable. The main thing was that his current Cultivation Realm was only the Inscription Realm. Engraving the runes of the Original True Understanding was simple. However, engraving the runes of the Great Five Elements Technique was somewhat difficult. Moreover, he also had to transform the Great Five Elements Technique into the Great Five Elements Array, and use the Great Five Elements Array to Break through to the Array Realm. "I cannot discern the depth of your strength..." Liu Shen looked at him with a complex expression after hearing his words. Although Shi Jian was currently only in the Inscription Realm, his combat power was not at all related to his Realm. Liu Shen did not know how far he could go. Blood Moving Realm: two hundred thousand catties of strength limit... Cave Heaven Realm: countless Cave Heaven... Spiritual Realm: all pushed to the extreme... Now, the Inscription Realm was even Broken through with the Original True Understanding and the Great Five Elements Technique as its Foundation. Such a path, such a Foundation, even Liu Shen was inwardly astonished by it. "Fighting against Divine Flame with the Inscription Realm, no one has ever done it in ancient and modern times!" "But you can do it..." Liu Shen spoke again. This was recognition from an Immortal King. She recognized Shi Jian's strength and talent. No one in ancient and modern times had ever done it, but Shi Jian did. In a sense, Liu Shen acknowledged that Shi Jian had already surpassed many Immortal Kings. "Thank you for the compliment!" Shi Jian was quite pleased to receive the recognition of Liu Shen, an Immortal King. He asked Liu Shen: "Has your strength recovered? Can you see the path ahead?" Liu Shen was his current strong backing, so Shi Jian naturally cared about Liu Shen's strength. The stronger his backing, the more confident he would be in his actions. "The Great Five Elements Technique is too profound, I am currently comprehending it. I can now exert the strength of an ordinary Immortal King!" "As for the path ahead, I have seen a part of it, but I cannot yet walk it..." Liu Shen responded. With the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture, she recovered very quickly. She could temporarily exert Immortal King-level combat power. Before Shi Jian could say anything, Liu Shen spoke again with a sigh: "I saw a path in the Great Five Elements Technique, a path to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, but I want to forge my own path!" Liu Shen's tone was somewhat complex. The Great Five Elements Technique was simply too powerful. It surpassed the Original True Understanding. Just by Cultivating the Great Five Elements Technique, she saw a path to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm that she had once yearned for but could not attain. However, in comparison, she hoped more to forge her own path. "Indeed, one should forge their own path!" Shi Jian nodded in agreement beside her. Just like Shi Hao creating his own methods in the original work... If one wanted to ascend to the Supreme Realm, one truly should forge their own path. He himself was already walking on this path. Infinite Cave Heaven, and then using the Cave Heaven to engrave the laws of the Myriad Worlds... This was his own path. As long as he continued along this path, Breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm was only a matter of time. As for the Sacrificial Dao Realm. This Realm required sacrificing everything one possessed. It was somewhat similar to the 'Subtracting from Emptiness' in the World of One Thought. But there were also some differences between the two. The 'Subtracting from Emptiness' in the World of One Thought seemingly weakened oneself, but in reality, it weakened Karma. However, the Sacrificial Dao in Perfect World was truly sacrificing everything one possessed. To put oneself in a desperate situation and then find a way to survive! Shi Jian might not necessarily take the Sacrificial Dao path. He could still surpass the Sacrificial Dao by taking other paths. Shi Hao listened to their conversation, bewildered. He didn't understand a single word they were saying. However, this did not affect his admiration for the two of them. The power of Liu Shen and Shi Jian both surpassed Shi Hao's imagination. Now, Shi Hao had also come into contact with some Cultivation, and had even achieved some success in his Cultivation. He was no longer a novice in Cultivation. It was precisely because he had entered the Cultivation world that Shi Hao realized how powerful Shi Jian and Liu Shen were. Liu Shen was fine. After all, Liu Shen was originally a peerless strong person. It was just that she encountered some accidents, which forced her to settle in Shi Village. But Shi Jian was only a few years older than Shi Hao. And both of them grew up in Shi Village. Yet Shi Jian had achieved such terrifying accomplishments. It was truly astonishing. After chatting with Liu Shen for a while, Shi Jian finally turned his attention to Shi Hao. "Not bad, in just over a month, you actually Cultivated to the Blood Moving Realm Extreme!" Shi Jian looked at Shi Hao, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. When he returned to Shi Village more than a month ago, Shi Hao only had eighty thousand catties of strength. Now, he had already Broken through the hundred thousand catties Physical Body limit. And he had also Awakened the Giant Elephant particles. "I worked very hard in my Cultivation!" Shi Hao was excited to receive recognition. During this time, he had barely even drunk beast milk for the sake of Cultivation. One could imagine his diligence. "Haha... I brought you a gift!" Shi Jian patted his head, then took out the Ten Thousand Year Willow Wood Heart and the Cloud Swallowing Vine. "Since you have reached the Physical Body Extreme Realm, then use this Ten Thousand Year Willow Wood Heart to impact the Cave Heaven Realm!" "And this Cloud Swallowing Vine, it is a plant life with intelligence. After subduing it, it can transform into armor and attach to your body, providing you with combat power!" Shi Jian explained. The Ten Thousand Year Willow Wood Heart and the Cloud Swallowing Vine were definitely the most suitable treasures for Shi Hao. The Ten Thousand Year Willow Wood Heart could increase cell activity, which would help Shi Hao in Cultivating the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Realm or regenerating his Supreme Bone. It was a very suitable treasure for laying a Foundation. The Cloud Swallowing Vine, furthermore, combined growth potential with combat power. "This plant, how peculiar... Such a low-level plant can actually develop sentience?" Liu Shen's curious voice sounded. She herself was a willow tree that had achieved the Dao, so she was not unfamiliar with plant life. This type of creature was not uncommon in Perfect World. However, most plants only developed sentience if their origins were extraordinary. The Cloud Swallowing Vine in Shi Jian's hand had a pitifully weak aura, yet it could develop sentience? "This must be a product from another world, right?" Liu Shen spoke with certainty.
