Simultaneous travel: Starting from returning to the main god space.

Chapter 308 A Family Should Be Together (Seeking Monthly Tickets! Seeking Additional Subscriptions!)
Although the Wilderness is notoriously barren and its resources are far inferior to those of the Profound Domain, its area is equally vast. To travel from the Fire Kingdom to the heartland of the Stone Kingdom, even though the two countries are adjacent, one still needs ancient remnant species-level birds to fly for many days to reach the destination.

This time, Wu Xian didn't need to evade the pursuit of the Immortal Mountain, so he didn't choose to use the Shrinking Earth to travel. Instead, he randomly captured an ancient species with the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc somewhere in the Great Wilderness, and then rode it leisurely towards the location of the Stone Kingdom.

Incidentally, the original mode of transportation, the Sky-Devouring Sparrow, had already gloriously sacrificed itself. With its dying body, it forcibly unleashed the already extremely unstable divine fire within its body, ultimately perishing together with more than a dozen Qin clan powerhouses, including even the Venerable Qin Zhan.

This selfless act of loyalty to one's master is truly admirable and moving, even touching Wu Xian, who silently mourned for the Devouring Sky Sparrow for a full second.

Sky-Swallowing Sparrow: Pretty, isn't she! Did you hear me? I said pretty, isn't she?!

In short, after resolving the issue of transportation, Wu Xian, along with Shi Ziling and his wife, and Qin Hao, who had finally come to terms with reality and stopped crying, flew through the Great Wilderness for about ten days and finally approached their destination.

"Ah Ning, we're finally back."

Standing on the back of a roc high in the sky, Shi Ziling looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery in the distance and couldn't help but let out a complex sigh.

It was a colossal city, magnificent beyond compare, built from piece after piece of jasper stone, hundreds of feet high, and its walls were engraved with endless runes, like stars spinning and shining brightly, like an immortal celestial palace, majestic and imposing.

Meanwhile, throughout the city, both inside and out, squads of soldiers were patrolling, disciplined, fully armed, their weapons sharp and gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, as if a murderous aura was permeating the air.

This is the capital of the Stone Kingdom, whose defenses are in no way inferior to those of the Fire Kingdom. It is home to numerous experts, and is led and guarded by powerful generals, making it as impregnable as a fortress. In particular, once the array patterns on the city walls are activated, the entire capital will be shrouded in runes, making it difficult for even a Divine Fire Realm expert to conquer in a short time.

"hold head high----!!"

Just then, a sharp bird cry rang out from the sky, and a tremendous wind pressure swept down, instantly attracting the attention of the soldiers on the city wall.

They were initially surprised, but upon discovering that the owner of the cry seemed to be a powerful ancient remnant, they immediately reacted, sending messages back into the city while preparing for battle.

Wu Xian had witnessed a similar situation once before in the Fire Kingdom, but it was nowhere near as exaggerated as the last time.

It's understandable, since the roc under his feet is just an ordinary ancient species. Whether in terms of cultivation or size, it is far less terrifying than the Devouring Sky Sparrow, so the security level of the Stone Kingdom naturally needs to be lowered.

Thinking this, Wu Xian stepped on the bird's head, signaling it to land in front of the city. Then, he led Shi Ziling and his family of three, swaggering towards the city gate.

Upon witnessing this scene, the city guards, who were on high alert, were utterly shocked.

They couldn't see it clearly from a distance before, but now that it was right in front of them, they could see the true form of this ancient remnant and the terrifying aura emanating from it. Everyone was terrified; this was a true overlord, a creature that would give even the patriarchs of each family a headache.

Who is that man? To be able to tame such a powerful ancient creature as a mount, could he be a big shot from some top power?

That's right, these people are all mistaken. They think that Shi Ziling is the owner of this ancient species, and that Wu Xian, like Qin Hao, is his son.

"Who are you... and what brings you to the capital?"

A captain from outside the city mustered his courage and stepped forward to inquire.

His cultivation was not weak; he was already in the late stage of the Cave Heaven Realm and had opened up five cave heavens. He usually had a fierce aura, but now, facing the mysterious Shi Ziling, his attitude softened a bit, and his voice even trembled slightly.

pat!

A slight pain shot through his knee. The young man looked down and saw the little boy walking at the front looking up at him, his handsome face full of displeasure.

"Hey! Why are you asking him? Can't you see I'm the one in charge?"

"what?!"

The young man looked completely bewildered, but subconsciously repeated the question he had just asked: "Then... then who are you?"

"I am Dugu Baitian."

Wu Xian gave a thumbs-up and pointed at his nose, looking down at them with disdain. "Notify the Martial King's Mansion and the Rain Clan that I've brought an old friend to catch up with them. Be prepared to welcome him with open arms, or don't blame me for losing my temper!"

"Du...Dugu Baitian?"

As the young general uttered the name, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in shock, "You are Demon Child! The Bloodhand Demon Child from the Realm of the Void Gods!!"

"Ok?"

Wu Xian raised an eyebrow, and then a terrifying aura erupted from his body, like an ancient ferocious beast appearing in the world. The well-trained soldiers were so frightened that they retreated involuntarily, their bodies trembling. Too terrifying! Is this the legendary demon child who single-handedly suppressed the entire secret realm?
The mere natural flow of energy caused their physical bodies to feel as if they were about to collapse, causing them immense discomfort. Even some kings and nobles might not be able to do such a thing. Just how strong is the Demon Child?

"Come on! Follow me into the city!"

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Wu Xian waved to Shi Ziling behind him and continued walking into the city with an air of indifference.

After the four disappeared through the city gate, behind the city wall above, a warrior from the Rain Clan sat down on the ground with a thud, his face pale as he muttered to himself, "It's Shi Ziling. He's still alive. And that Demon Child, could he really be the same child from back then?"

"But how could he be so powerful? Wasn't he only at the Cave Heaven Realm?"

"No! The visitors are hostile. We must inform the Rain King so that the clan can prepare as soon as possible!"

……

Shi Kingdom, King Wu's Palace.

As a former strong contender for the title of Human Emperor, King Wu ultimately failed, but he still held a prominent position in the Stone Kingdom, being granted the title of Super-Rank Marquis and becoming as famous as King Zhan.

His residence was naturally built in the heart of the Stone Kingdom, covering a vast area with numerous palaces and buildings, resembling a magnificent celestial palace situated on earth. His direct descendants numbered in the hundreds, making it a very prosperous place.

Deep within the Wu King's mansion, a small altar lit up, and letter after letter disappeared.

Meanwhile, in a secluded cultivation spot, an old man covered in golden light was subdued and immediately shouted angrily, "Shi Li, Shi Yuan, what are you doing?"

"Fourth Brother, calm down. Rest here for a while and don't go out."

"You've treated me like this, let me guess, it's because Ziling is back, isn't it!"

The old man seemed to have thought of something, and a look of grief and shame appeared on his face.

He was one of the elders of the Martial King's Mansion, ranking fourth. He was extremely close to Shi Hao's grandfather, the fifteenth master nicknamed "Great Demon God". When Shi Hao's supreme bone was dug out, he also tried his best to make Shi Yi's lineage pay the price.

However, back then, King Wu intentionally favored Shi Yi's lineage and ruthlessly suppressed him, so that after Shi Ziling returned to King Wu's mansion, he could only fight alone and ended up being exiled.

The old man had been deeply troubled by this matter for years, living a life of great torment, to the point that his cultivation had regressed somewhat, which is why he was so easily ambushed by these two "brothers".

Tell me! Has Ziling returned?

The old man roared, and golden light surged from his body as he tried to break free from his restraints.

"Fourth Brother, don't waste your energy. This is the restriction that King Wu placed on you back then. You couldn't break it before, and now that you're old, it's even more impossible!"

Shi Li sneered, then said in a sinister tone:

"I might as well tell you that Shi Ziling has indeed returned, and he brought that child back with him... Although I don't want to admit it, that child is indeed extraordinary. He is worthy of being a born supreme being. Even though his supreme bone has been taken away, he is still dazzling and has made a great name for himself in the Void God Realm."

"It's a pity that he shouldn't have appeared so early, much less appear in front of us."

"You bastards! What are you trying to do now?!"

The old man's beard and hair bristled with anger as he roared and howled.

"It's very simple. Xiao Shiwu hasn't returned for over fifteen years, so he should be dead by now. We, as elders, can't bear to leave him alone down there, so we're preparing to send Ziling and the others down to keep him company."

Beside him, an old man named Shi Yuan smiled kindly.

"After all, we're a family, so we should all be together!"
