Chapter 115: Three Great Divine Beasts

Ba Ba's performance in the Kun Peng Divine Burial battle was truly terrifying. Countless Venerables fell at his hands. Facing such a peerless killer, all the Venerables in the Lower Realm were filled with dread every day, fearing that they might accidentally provoke him. Not to mention, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, known to Qiongqi and others, was killed by Ba Ba's companion. Therefore, countless Venerables firmly etched his appearance into their minds. Qiongqi looked at Shi Jian in front of him, his heart trembling. This Human Race youth's appearance seemed genuinely similar to Ba Ba's, like Ba Ba after he had grown up. In two or three months, he couldn't possibly have grown from an eight or nine-year-old to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old, could he? Shi Jian looked at Qiongqi, who had suddenly gone silent mid-sentence, and let out a light chuckle: "Keep talking? Why did you stop? Weren't you going to start with the Human Race and kill all the loose-lipped creatures on this land? Starting with me?" Qiongqi looked at Shi Jian's calm and collected demeanor, and the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger. "Roar!" Qiongqi let out a roar that echoed for hundreds of miles. Its four hooves stomped with blazing fire, its entire body bathed in flames, light flickering around him, and then he charged into the distance. This Qiongqi had actually fled decisively. He directly abandoned the mountain treasure and tried to escape. A Venerable Rank Vicious Beast, without even confirming Shi Jian's identity, merely suspected, and was directly scared into fleeing. Shi Jian's fierce reputation was evident. Even with the lowest possibility, Qiongqi dared not gamble. Those who dared to gamble were all buried in that sea area. "So decisive?" Shi Jian looked at the fleeing Qiongqi, a hint of confusion flashing across his face. Bro, where's your Vicious Beast swagger? Shouldn't you have disdainfully attacked me, and then been suppressed by me? Even if you guessed my identity, you should have doubted my combat power, right? Why did you run away so decisively? Shi Jian moved, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared above the fleeing Qiongqi. He slapped Qiongqi's body. "Thud!" A earth-shattering tremor resounded as the enormous Qiongqi was forcibly slammed by Shi Jian from the Void Realm onto a mountain peak. Mountain after mountain was crushed and ruined by him. "Roar..." Qiongqi let out a shriek; this time, he could confirm Shi Jian's identity. It was truly that super killer star. "I don't want the mountain treasure anymore, please spare me..." Qiongqi quickly begged for mercy. Shi Jian, however, ignored his words and stomped his foot onto its incomparably ferocious beast head. Terrifying power permeated Qiongqi's skull, impacting the mountain range on the ground, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the mountain range. One stomp! The Venerable Rank Qiongqi was subdued! The remaining Zhu Yan and Vermilion Bird were terrified upon seeing this scene, their hearts almost bursting. Instant kill a Venerable? Is this really Inscription Realm? The two Vicious Beasts didn't say a word and immediately prepared to turn and flee. However, at this moment, Shi Jian's cold voice rang in their ears. "Are you two also trying to escape? Where are you going to escape to?" Upon hearing this calm voice, the two Vicious Beasts instantly froze in place, daring not to make any further moves, fearing that they might follow in Qiongqi's footsteps. "My lord, we don't want the mountain treasure anymore, please spare our lives..." "Yes, My Lord, Zhu Yan and I never intended to slaughter the creatures here... I am even the Fire Nation's Sacrificial Spirit, protecting the peace of one region!" The two Vicious Beasts quickly begged for mercy and promptly stated their positions. Based on their understanding of this individual, this one was not someone who indiscriminately slaughtered. Shi Jian looked at the two trembling Vicious Beasts and chuckled softly. "I don't like talking with my head tilted up!" Shi Jian indeed did not intend to kill the Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan. After all, these two Vicious Beasts were on the good side. However, this didn't stop him from scaring them a bit. Upon hearing Shi Jian's words, the two Vicious Beasts quickly changed their forms, retracting their true bodies. One transformed into a small monkey with golden fur all over, holding a stick in his hand. The other transformed into a chubby, fiery red bird. "My Lord!" The two Venerable Rank Vicious Beasts obediently came before Shi Jian, appearing ready to be commanded. There was no other way; Venerables also feared death. Shi Jian gave them a calm glance, then flew towards Shi Village. Qiongqi's enormous corpse floated behind him. The remaining Zhu Yan and Vermilion Bird exchanged glances, then honestly followed behind him. The terrifying phenomenon caused by the struggle of the three great Vicious Beasts had long been noticed by the people of Shi Village. If they had encountered such a situation before, they would certainly have been in a panic. However, now the people of Shi Village had developed a strong heart. First Liu Shen, then Shi Jian! They believed that with these two present, all troubles would be suppressed. Moreover, they all knew that Shi Jian had entered the depths of the mountain range. Without even thinking, this terrifying commotion must have been related to Shi Jian. Some experienced people in the village had even already prepared pots, bowls, and ladles, waiting at the entrance of Shi Village. Usually, after Little Stone entered the mountain range, they would have a feast. Sure enough, not long after, everyone saw Shi Jian returning with Qiongqi's corpse! Looking at the mountain-like corpse, the people of Shi Village were deeply shocked. "Is this Qiongqi? The Vicious Beast of legend?" The villagers gasped, looking at Qiongqi's corpse. People living in the Great Wilderness had some understanding of various Vicious Beasts. They had even grown up listening to the legends of certain Vicious Beasts. And Qiongqi, clearly, was a Vicious Beast of legend. A Vicious Beast of this Rank, was actually no match for Shi Jian? The people of Shi Village gained a deeper understanding of Shi Jian's strength. "Little Stone, is this the legendary Vicious Beast Qiongqi?" Shi Yunfeng touched Qiongqi's corpse up and down, then excitedly asked Shi Jian! Shi Jian nodded: "This Qiongqi is a Venerable; his blood contains divinity and can remain incorruptible for a very long time!" "I plan to use this Qiongqi to create a 'Divine Pool' for the people of Shi Village to Cultivate and be baptized in for a long time!" Shi Jian spoke of his plan. A Venerable Rank Vicious Beast was dispensable to him. It was better to transform it into the Foundation of Shi Village. One should know that a Venerable Rank Vicious Beast's entire body was a treasure. The Vermilion Bird's bathing pool in the Fire Nation was even regarded as a Nirvana Pool by the Fire Nation. After Shi Hao bathed in it, he regenerated his Supreme Bone. Now, he directly used Qiongqi as the Foundation to create a spiritual pool. Bathing in the spiritual pool could also raise the talent of Shi Village's people by one Rank. "That's truly wonderful!" The old village chief immediately became excited upon hearing this. To create a spiritual pool belonging to Shi Village based on the ancient Qiongqi. Wouldn't that mean that all children of Shi Village could be baptized in Qiongqi's blood from now on? What a grand gesture!!! The old village chief had never heard of any tribe in the Great Wilderness being so extravagant. Shi Jian acted immediately; he activated the Yellow Emperor's Earth Sovereign Dao, then communicated with the earth pulse in the Shi Village area. At the Shi Village square, a bottomless abyss instantly appeared. Shi Jian threw Qiongqi's corpse into it, then the mountains around the abyss closed, and a pool appeared there. Qiongqi's blood seeped out, instantly filling the entire pool. Shi Jian then arranged some runes and made more detailed arrangements for the pool. "From now on, the people of Shi Village can enter this pool for baptism!" "The closer one is to the center of the pool, the purer Qiongqi's true blood, and the better the Cultivate and baptism effect, but the pain to endure also doubles!" "The effect at the edges is weaker, and correspondingly, it's not as painful!" "You all should act according to your own capabilities!" He instructed the people of Shi Village. The village chief and a group of strong men and children all nodded seriously upon hearing his words. After the Great Tribulation of the Heavens ended, Shi Jian would go to the Upper Realm. At that time, it was estimated that he would not return to Shi Village for a very long time. This matter concerned the future Cultivation of the people of Shi Village, so Shi Jian instructed in great detail. Qiongqi's body was enormous; with the Cultivation of the people of Shi Village, it would be difficult to exhaust it within several decades. After several decades, Shi Jian estimated that he should be able to roam freely in the Upper Realm. "You two, come here!" After instructing the people of Shi Village, Shi Jian called the Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan over. The people of Shi Village had previously been shocked by Qiongqi's enormous body. Now, hearing Shi Jian's words, they noticed that there was also a monkey and a fiery red bird accompanying Shi Jian. "Little Red, it's you!" Shi Hao rushed over upon seeing the fiery red bird. The Vermilion Bird rolled its eyes at Shi Hao upon hearing that address. It had never expected that the brat who had been chasing it before, trying to catch it, was actually related to Ba Ba! It was fortunate that he hadn't bothered with that brat at the time. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble. The children of Shi Village were somewhat stunned by Shi Hao's actions. They all knew that Shi Hao had a little bird that he constantly thought about, even chasing it out of the village by himself. Were these those little birds? The adults in the village, at this moment, felt their hair stand on end. They had once seen a fiery red bird from afar, battling in the mountain range, scorching the sky. This little bird was probably that fiery red bird. However, they weren't too scared. With Shi Jian present, this fiery red bird couldn't cause any trouble. The people of Shi Village were observing the Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan. The Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan were also observing the people of Shi Village. This was Ba Ba's hometown? Such a terrifying figure, actually came out of such a small mountain village? This was simply too incredible. After rolling its eyes at Shi Hao, the Vermilion Bird looked at the thick, charred willow tree. The willow branches swayed in the wind, emitting a faint green glow. Was it because of it? The Vermilion Bird pondered. It had passed by Shi Village before and sensed something extraordinary about Liu Shen. Therefore, it had specifically paused for a while. Shi Hao, that brat, had also set his sights on it at that time. The origin of this willow tree seemed very terrifying. Ba Ba, was he cultivated by it? "I'm giving you two a task. Complete it well, and I won't hold the previous offense against me against you!" Shi Jian's voice rang in the Vermilion Bird's ear. The Vermilion Bird quickly looked towards the youth. "I will be going to the Upper Realm soon. You two help me guard this village well!" Shi Jian didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his request. "Son, are you going to the Upper Realm?" Before the Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan could react, Shi Yunfeng and the other people of Shi Village became excited. Shi Jian had told them before that he was going to ascend to the Upper Realm. But everyone thought this would be a long time from now. They didn't expect Shi Jian to go to the Upper Realm so soon. "Within half a year at most, I will head to the Upper Realm!" Shi Jian truthfully stated his plan. The people of Shi Village immediately became sad upon hearing this. The plot developed too quickly. He had only left the village to roam a few months ago, and now he was directly going to the Upper Realm. It was fine when he just left the village to roam; Shi Jian would return to Shi Village every few months. But if he went to the Upper Realm, it would probably be a very long time before he returned. "Son, do what you need to do, but remember, Shi Village will always wait for your return, no matter when!" Knowing the burden on the Shi Clan, Shi Yunfeng and the others did not try to persuade Shi Jian. They only regretted that their strength was too weak to help Shi Jian. All they could do was wait! "Half a year?" Shi Hao was also shocked upon hearing Shi Jian's words. He had also wanted to go to the Upper Realm with Shi Jian. But now Shi Jian said he would go to the Upper Realm in at most half a year. In half a year, with his current Cultivation speed, he would at most achieve Cave Heaven Realm. Cave Heaven Realm couldn't even roam freely in the Lower Realm, let alone ascend to the Upper Realm! Shi Hao clenched his fists, feeling a bit unwilling. "Big Brother..." His gaze towards Shi Jian gradually became firm. He needed to Cultivate even harder to strive to catch up to Shi Jian's footsteps. The Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan's hearts stirred upon hearing this request. Guard this small village? This wasn't an excessive request. It was just... The Vermilion Bird glanced at Liu Shen. This Shi Village had such a terrifying Sacrificial Spirit, why did they need the two of them? Shi Jian noticed its small movement, then spoke calmly: "Within a hundred years at most, I will set you free, and I can even help you Break through to the Divine Fire Realm!" "Within these hundred years, you can also handle your own affairs and don't need to stay in Shi Village all the time, but no matter what, at least one of you must remain in Shi Village!" Shi Jian knew what the Vermilion Bird was thinking. Liu Shen was awesome, that was true. But could Liu Shen be expected to handle every single problem? What about the Immortal King's swagger then? Since he happened to encounter the Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan, he would just bring them over to do some hard labor. These two had Venerable Realm Cultivation. They were sufficient for solving some minor problems. The Vermilion Bird and Zhu Yan's hearts stirred upon hearing this; a hundred years? And help Break through to the Divine Fire Realm? This was a sure-win deal. The most important thing was that they had no room to refuse. The two Venerable Rank Vicious Beasts quickly spoke: "My Lord, we will definitely look after this village!" Shi Jian nodded with satisfaction upon seeing these two being so sensible, then he looked at the people of Shi Village: "From now on, if you encounter troubles that you truly cannot solve, find these two. If these two cannot solve it, then ask Liu Shen to act! Don't be polite; use them however you need to!"
