Chapter 1808
Meanwhile, it now shrank, only an inch tall, quite small. If one didn’t pay any attention, they might even overlook it. It was snow-white and sparkling, as if carved out of immortal bones.
It was definitely the one from the past!
Even though it shrunk in size, Shi Hao wouldn’t mistake it for anything else, it was precisely that cauldron. Back then, it had been lost, but now, it was brought back by that bird.
“Where do you think you’re going?!” The golden lion immediately began to run, rushing into the sky, opening its bloody mouth. Winds stirred and clouds swirled, all of the clouds in the skies sucked into his mouth.
It wanted to devour that Five-Colored Sparrow with a single gulp, truly angered badly. A pile of bird poo was left on its nose back then, this was the greatest humiliation it had suffered its entire life.
However, it was already too late. The sparrow swirling with rainbow brilliance was too fast. When it rushed into the sky, its figure already disappeared without a trace.
There were afterimages everywhere. It disappeared into the limits of the boundless horizon, leaving just like that.
“Get back here right now!” The golden lion roared out, its golden beast fur standing on end, releasing golden light, as if it had been struck by lightning, radiance swirling about.
However, it just couldn’t catch up, already left behind.
But now, no one was paying it any attention, everyone staring at that small cauldron.
They all knew that this thing was extraordinary. Just from a single look, they felt that it was mysterious and unfathomable.
It was precisely because even though the small cauldron looked like it was spotlessly white and swirling with holy radiance, it still gave everyone a mysterious feeling. This was especially the case with the inside of the cauldron, extremely deep and abstruse.
It was small, but right now, everything inside the cauldron actually gave off a type of indistinct feeling, as if there was primal chaos filling it, the depth impossible to see.
This was extremely strange. It was but an inch in height, why couldn’t they see its bottom?
Shi Hao moved, taking a step forward, the first to make a move. He bent down at the waist, his fingers like nipping flowers, picking this small cauldron up, carefully sizing it up.
“Yi?!” Shi Hao was extremely shocked, his expression moved. It was because only when he opened his heavenly eyes, did he see the indistinct scenes at the bottom of the small cauldron.
There seemed to be some patterns, it was extremely indistinct.
The cauldron was merely an inch or so high. Even if one opened their heavenly eyes, they couldn’t completely see through it. This type of feeling was extremely strange, as if it wasn’t just an inch separating them, but rather a starry sky, a universe.
“The cauldron walls are covered in markings, not smooth, and there seem to be a few pieces missing!”
When Shi Hao carefully examined it, he shockingly discovered that those traces were done in a regular pattern, all of them crafted by someone, forming grooves.
Of course, it was extremely faint, or else the cauldron would be full of holes.
Was the cauldron originally like this, purposely carved out by someone, or was it to cover up, erase something?
Shi Hao frowned, because those faint markings were extremely symmetrical, not disordered and messy at all.
Was this a congratulatory gift from that Five-Colored Sparrow?
“The material is extremely similar to the Ten Thousand Spirit Diagram!”
Shi Hao raised his head to look into the horizon. Today really was rather surprising, this strange little bird appeared, truly bringing him a pleasant surprise.
There was now no need for any other proof. Everyone in Stone Village knew how extraordinary this bird was.
After several decades, it was still there, not changed at all, impossible to see through. The most important thing was that no one could catch it!
“This bird can move through the void, harmonized with heaven and earth. Otherwise, I would have long caught it!” The golden lion was furious.
The marriage ceremony continued, this was merely the interlude. After a bit of shock and noise, everyone returned to a festive and joyous mood.
“First, kowtow before heaven and earth, second, kowtow to the parents! Husband and wife, kowtow to each other!”
Under voices of laughter and cheers, everything went smoothly. The new couple bowed towards each other.
Even though they were cultivators, the wedding ceremony was no different from that of mortals. Stone Village gradually became stronger from its once declining tribe state, preserving this type of down to earth nature all along.
Yun Xi’s heart trembled slightly. Was she now walking together with Shi Hao just like that, becoming dao companions?
It was as if she was dreaming. Even though she had made mental preparations, now that it really happened, she still felt it was quite sudden. They had previously stood against each other, traveled through life and death...
In the end, it was actually this result, it even made her think that life was but a dream.
In the past, Shi Hao guarded her on the way back to Celestial Clan, yet in the end, he was almost harmed to death. Later on, he even became bitter enemies with Celestial Clan. During that time, she felt truly terrible, knowing that they might never walk the same path again, only get further and further away.
“Oh oh oh, time to play pranks on the newlyweds!” A group of children shouted noisily.
The children from back then all grew up, long becoming adults, this was a new batch of kids. Stone Village’s population was quickly increasing, growing and multiplying without end.
The group of kids were all shouting noisily, even a group of young adults now joining in.
“Little brats, if you all make any more noise, I’m going to grab you all one by one and throw you into the eye of the Northern Sea!” Dazhuang roared.
Hahaha...
In the distance, Qin Yining and Shi Ziling were both laughing, extremely happy, as if they were relieved from a burden. Their eldest son got married, fulfilling one of their greatest cherished desires.
“Good, good, good!” The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng also continuously nodded, full of smiles. Even though his age was getting greater and greater, his spirit was extremely vigorous, gradually becoming stronger.
His blood energy didn’t dry up, on the contrary, his physique became more and more robust. It was related to cultivation, as well as Stone Village’s environment.
The number of divine medicines here was definitely not few, Void Sky Divine Vine, Heavenly Deity Tree... spiritual essence rose in spirals, divine force pervading the air, nourishing everyone in the village, male, female, young, and old.
Stone Village’s newer generations’ talents became greater and greater, largely related to this.
It was because even when they were in their mother’s womb, they were already nourished by the essence wafting out from divine medicines. As such, when they were born, how could they not be astonishingly powerful?
To the north was a small courtyard. It was cut off by a formation that prevented outsiders from entering. This was like a Shangri-La, rarely seen and unusual. A rock garden surrounded this place, the beautiful trees lush and verdant.
These dao companions whose relationship was complex sat down facing each other. Right now, they became extremely quiet, neither of them saying anything.
Yun Xi’s skin was fine like beautiful jade, her eyes full of intelligence. When she looked at Shi Hao, there was no shyness or embarrassment of a little girl, at least on the surface, she was still calm.
Only, as for what she was feeling inside, it was hard to say. In reality, her heart was pounding fiercely.
Shi Hao looked at her, thinking back to the past. Many events of the past appeared in his mind. The one who accompanied him was actually Yun Xi... he released a sigh, feeling frustration, happiness, and dejected... his thoughts were extremely complex.
There was another figure who appeared at this moment, about to truly take form. This made his heart stir.
The past thoughts he had scattered, they were restless again?
When one’s strength was exhausted, how could one’s thoughts be completely erased, their emotions and feelings completely erased?
Qing Yi, Heaven Mending Dao, didn’t she say that she was going to come down into the lower realms, reunite with him? Why didn’t she come?
What about Huo Ling’er? She also gradually took form from those scattered thoughts.
Hong!
Shi Hao’s body suddenly trembled, divine force surging. He shouted, “One last severing, I will not hesitate to pay the price!”
Yun Xi was shocked. This was the night of being newly wed, was her dao companion gaining enlightenment? He actually sat there, closing his eyes, as if he entered seclusion cultivation.
Immediately afterwards, she saw Shi Hao’s various thoughts fly out from his body. There were many indistinct figures that appeared in the air, engraving themselves in the void, and then they swirled about him.
There was a scorched black willow tree, the place where Fire Mulberry Trees took root, the body Qing Yi and Yue Chan merged into, the cruel great battles against the other side in Desolate Border, Great Elder’s tragic death, darkness creatures’ surging tide, history’s most terrifying great showdown...
He had far too many thoughts weighing him down!
In the end, Shi Hao forced them out from his body, having them enter the skies.
Shi Hao entered a state of cultivation. In this newly wed evening, he didn’t move at all, like a boulder, as if he only listened to heaven and earth’s scriptures for hundreds to thousands of years.
Hong!
A month later, the entire small courtyard became a forbidden area that no one could step foot into. Everyone could see powerful dao laws swirling about, Shi Hao at the center of it all.
It was as if he was a phoenix undergoing rebirth. The great dao natural laws on his body were like the feathers of a new True Phoenix, granting him power, strengthening him to the peak.
“Supreme being aura!”
He was actually about to become a supreme being! Everyone was shocked. He really succeeded?
“Too dangerous! If not for him laying a formation ahead of time, cutting off the courtyard from the outside world, Stone Village would’ve been in danger!” Someone said in alarm.
“He is controlling it, not letting it flare out. Otherwise, we would have long been in danger!”
“Everyone, withdraw from the village, leave this place to him!” The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng ordered.
They decided to use Stone Village as a buffer. It was because the entire village could be turned into a great formation, activated, this was arranged by Willow Deity in the past.
“Yi, those natural laws, those True Phoenix feather-like chains of order are withdrawing, entering his body, as if they are forming a cocoon!”
Everyone saw that Shi Hao was wrapped by a layer of feathers, turning into a cocoon. It was as if he underwent rebirth again, about to be born, about to start a new life.
“Supreme being’s aura, he really is going to step onto that path!” The golden lion was horrified.
Shi Hao’s aura was retracting. If it erupted, if it spilled out of the great formation, the entire heaven and earth would capsize!
This was too dangerous! For Stone Village, for the entire great wilderness, for all of Desolate Region, this was a terrifying thing.
Fortunately, it didn’t leak out. All of the essence energy was restrained!
Shi Hao was treading on the supreme being path. If he succeeded, managing to break a legend of endless ages, he would become history’s youngest Mortal Dao supreme being!
The same day, that very moment, great changes took place in the higher realm, affecting the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
The various great ancient continents were all moving, slowly shifting. They were previously one body, but during Immortal Ancient Great Era, they were ultimately fractured into the Nine Heavens Ten Earths after the past great battles.
Now, a mysterious power appeared, guiding them. They might join up again, return to being one.
Apart from this, there were even more shocking changes taking place in the higher realm.
“Is an age without cultivation about to descend? Heavens! The world is devouring itself!” Someone cried out in alarm. He came from Immortal Domain, a high level figure!
There were great changes happening to heaven and earth, things that shocked past, present, and future happening.
Was this man-made, or was it a natural disaster?
Was this an omen? Many people were shocked, even their souls shaking!
