There, the roar of a true dragon shook the world, as if a fierce beast was hiding there, howling at heaven and earth.

Within the endless laws of the Great Dao, a figure sat cross-legged, covered in blood. The ten great grotto-heavens above his head had collapsed completely, and he remained motionless, as if he were already dead.

This being was Shi Yi's sun body. He came to this suitable area and used the true dragon marrow from the Holy Academy's foundation to begin the reconstruction of the cave heaven.

This is destined to be no simple process; destruction precedes construction, often accompanied by the peril of life and death.

The Grand Elder of the Holy Academy was powerless to help; everything depended on Sunstone Yi himself.

This is the most important step in the process of refining the cave heaven; once you cross it, you've already succeeded halfway.

The same is true for Taiyin Shiyi in the Qilin Immortal Palace. In a different location but with the same process, Shiyi's path to supreme power is gradually taking shape and showing promise.

As time passed, when Shi Hao and the little horned ant emerged from the horned ant's cave, there was still no movement from the direction of the Qilin Immortal Palace. He knew that Shi Yi had most likely obtained an opportunity and begun his seclusion.

I wonder how strong they will be when they emerge from seclusion again.

"Hiss, you're saying that guy is just a clone? You must be joking, right?" The little ant, perched on Shi Hao's shoulder, gasped.

To be honest, Shi Hao's words really hit him hard. The guy who just used the power of the Void Dao to send him flying more than twenty miles away with a single finger was just an avatar. This was too outrageous. He was the son of the Ten Fiends, not some nobody.

"Why would I lie to you? His power is beyond everyone's imagination. Once his two bodies merge, even if I succeed in using my body as a seed, I probably won't be able to suppress him," Shi Hao whispered.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence, but rather that he was well aware of how terrifying Shi Yi was. Neither his Yin body nor his Taiyang body was an ordinary person. Under such circumstances, the merging of the two bodies into one was simply unimaginable, and it might lead to a revolutionary transformation.

"Your Shi family is a bit too terrifying. Two Supreme Beings in one family, how can you be more powerful than my Heavenly Horned Ant clan?"
"Of course, this only applies until I come of age. Once I'm an adult, I'll beat you and that guy to a pulp." The little ant said defiantly, brandishing its golden fist.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao smiled and took it as a child's innocent remark. Even if the Little Heavenly Horned Ant had extraordinary talent and the potential to surpass its fathers, it would most likely only be able to be abused when facing him, who used his body as a seed, and Shi Yi, who had merged his two bodies into one.

"Enough of this, let's hurry up and find the Immortal Scripture. I can't wait any longer."

"That scripture is ridiculously powerful. The projection of the Primordial Mother Cauldron that you and that guy lifted... even my father could only lift that weight when he was young. However, since he obtained a part of the Undying Scripture and tempered his body, he can now swing that weight like a match. Just thinking about it is exciting!" Little Heavenly Horned Ant said excitedly.

Inside the Heavenly Horned Ant's cave, the lingering remnants of the Ten Fierce Heavenly Horned Ants pointed Shi Hao in the right direction, telling him where to find a more complete version of the Undying Scripture. The one the Ten Fierce Heavenly Horned Ants obtained back then was incomplete, which had always been a regret in his heart.

“Okay, let’s get going right away.” Shi Hao nodded.

As they descended the stone mountain, a large group of prodigies had been waiting for them for a long time. All the young supreme beings were there, their eyes shining as they gazed at Shi Hao and the little ant on his shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, have you obtained the legendary Scripture of Immortality?" Da Su Tuo asked directly.

The other young supreme beings had gleaming eyes that were dazzling and intimidating.

Their fear of Shi Yi and the power of the double-pupiled one does not mean they fear Shi Hao.

Although he was also impressive, raising the projection of the Primordial Mother Cauldron, the young supreme beings formed alliances and believed that they could use a siege to force Huang to submit, thereby obtaining the legendary immortal scripture.

Shi Hao's expression was somewhat cold, but he still answered the question.

"There's nothing to hide, I didn't get it."

Do you think we believe that?

A young supreme being shouted.

On Shi Hao's shoulder, the little ant whispered something in his ear, in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Whether you actually got it or not, they will take it by force."

Shi Hao's expression remained unchanged, his eyes flashing like lightning as he scanned all directions. The young supreme beings had already taken their positions, blocking all his escape routes.

"So what if you get it? I'm standing right here. Do you dare to take it?" Shi Hao said lightly.

"Huang, you overestimate yourself," a young supreme being whispered, his tone not one of respect.

"Fine, then let me see what you're made of." Shi Hao laughed in fury, abandoning all pretense of politeness and choosing to strike with lightning speed.

Soon, the place fell silent, filled with gasps of cold air. The arrogant young supreme beings, who had been so cocky just moments before, were now completely unable to laugh. They had been brutally beaten by Shi Hao even when they joined forces, and if they hadn't begged for mercy at the crucial moment, they would probably be dead by now.

"Huang, you've misunderstood. We're not enemies, there's no need for us to fight to the death. The real enemy is the alien realm."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao couldn't help but sneer. He still remembered how aggressive these people had been just now, as if they wanted to skin him alive.

He didn't linger in the fight, nor did he kill anyone. The emergence of the Immortal King's Mansion had attracted all the major powers, and it would be very troublesome to draw blood and cause deaths at this time.

The Grand Elder had shown him unparalleled kindness, and he shouldn't cause the Grand Elder any more trouble. Of course, if the other party went too far, Shi Hao didn't need to tolerate it.

Without saying a word, he left the place and, under the leadership of the traitor Little Horned Ant, swept through the Immortal City, gaining quite a few benefits, which made up for his almost fruitless experience in the Horned Ant's cave.

Afterwards, Shi Hao and the Little Heavenly Horned Ant left, bursting out of the muddy pond. Outside, many powerful figures were hidden in the void, waiting quietly.

Upon seeing Shi Hao and the Little Heavenly Horned Ant, they immediately appeared and surrounded him. Their eyes lit up as they vied for ownership of the Little Heavenly Horned Ant. Shi Hao refused everyone and insisted on staying at the Heavenly God Academy. Seeing that soft tactics were ineffective, the longevity families decided to take a hard line and pressed forward, demanding that Shi Hao hand over the Little Heavenly Horned Ant.

At the critical moment, the Grand Elder returned, intimidating all those with ill intentions present. The scene instantly quieted down, and no one dared to disrespect Shi Hao anymore. Afterward, the Grand Elder handed Shi Hao a ring containing an ancient and incomparably powerful being, still alive but near death. According to Meng Tianzheng, it might play a crucial role at a critical moment.

With this matter settled, Shi Hao set off with the Little Heavenly Horned Ant towards the North Sea Stone Forest, a legendary place filled with various tales.

"Traversing all the peaks of the highest realm in a single day? Hmph, judging from this, those peaks of the highest realm are nothing special. If I went, I could also shock the world and leave those old guys speechless with amazement." The little horned ant sneered, listening to Shi Yi's legendary deeds with great dissatisfaction.

Shi Hao smiled and shook his head, offering no response.

A man and an ant sailed alone in a small boat toward the vast North Sea.

……

As time passed, in the Qilin Immortal Palace, Taiyin Shiyi made crucial progress in reshaping the cave heaven. The ten ruins of the cave heaven began to revive, with various Great Dao rules flying around and forming Dao cocoons. Moreover, they made heart-beat-like movements, like ten immortal embryos, gestating something extraordinary.

Outside, in a certain realm, Sun Stone Yi also made astonishing progress. The immortal embryo he formed was in stark contrast to that formed by Moon Stone Yi, appearing dark and resembling a demonic embryo. This startled the Grand Elder of the Holy Academy, who thought his disciple was about to fall into demonic possession. However, a quick scan with his divine sense revealed that it was merely a creepy appearance; in reality, it was pure Dao.

"Is it almost successful? The effects of the True Dragon Bone Marrow are indeed remarkable, and the great herbs in the Immortal Medicine Garden left behind by the Emperor of Time have also played a significant role." The Grand Elder of the Holy Academy murmured to himself.

On Taiyin Shiyi's side, the remnant spirit of the Qilin, in order to lend Shiyi a helping hand, decided to administer a powerful remedy. Three drops of blazing Qilin essence blood appeared in the world, as brilliant as the sun, blood-red as diamonds, and brimming with boundless energy.

This is one of the foundations of the Qilin Immortal Palace. It was originally reserved for the White Qilin, but now, the Qilin's remnant will has been used on Taiyin Shiyi, and the killing intent and harmful substances inside have long been removed.

When the three drops of brilliant essence blood dripped onto the ten immortal embryos, radiance burst forth. The ten immortal embryos seemed to have taken a powerful tonic, their life force becoming significantly stronger, and the things within them seemed ready to emerge, as if they were about to be born in the next second.

"Boom!"

Heaven and earth trembled, and in the void, two illusory rivers intertwined and flowed over, swirling around the ten immortal embryos.

Inside, life force surges like the tides, constantly impacting the outer shell.

After an unknown amount of time, the life force within the celestial embryo reached its peak. Even the indestructible embryo could not withstand it and began to crack with a "crack" sound. Cracks appeared one after another, spreading in all directions, densely packed, like ten porcelain pieces about to shatter.

Seeing this, the Qilin's remnant spirit breathed a sigh of relief. Before dripping the Qilin's essence blood, it could clearly see that Taiyin Shiyi was running out of energy. If there was no follow-up, it might end in failure. Fortunately, it administered a strong dose, breaking the suspense and pushing Taiyin Shiyi to the brink of success.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the ten celestial embryo shells above Taiyin Shiyi's head shattered simultaneously, shooting out brilliant celestial light, one after another, filling the entire sky.

Under the astonished gaze of the Qilin's lingering spirit, one immortal feather after another flew out from the cracks on the ten immortal embryos. The shattered embryos also continuously transformed and fell off as feathers, while the things inside the immortal embryos were constantly transforming and sublimating, like ascending to immortality, gradually reaching an unattainable realm.

"Ascension to immortality... This kind of Daoist charm is so vast that it has only been seen in true immortals. He is just a being in the Realm of Severing Self, yet he can achieve this level." The remnant Qilin was astonished, his eyes burning with fervor, his attention to Taiyin Shiyi even surpassing that of his own son, Bai Qilin.

As the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens were destroyed and rebuilt, Shi Yi himself was also undergoing a transformation. His old skin peeled off, and fragments of bone and impurities were expelled, turning into dark feathers of light that fell and fluttered down.

Ultimately, Taiyin Shiyi completed an evolution. Although it cannot be called a qualitative transformation, he became stronger on the original basis and broke through the limit.

Above his head, ten grotto-heavens lay horizontally, their appearance unchanged, yet fundamentally different from the previous grotto-heavens, possessing an indescribable charm that almost merged with the great Dao of time and space.

"The principles involved in your cave are too astonishing. What are you trying to do? Do you intend to travel through time and fall into the river of time?" The Qilin asked, puzzled.

It wasn't until Taiyin Shiyi finished describing his idea that it suddenly understood.

"I see. It seems I underestimated you. You are even more talented than I imagined." The Qilin's lingering spirit said with a smile. It instantly felt that the future of this realm was no longer so bleak. Perhaps the chance to turn things around had fallen on Shi Yi.

"Thank you for the opportunity, senior. I must leave now." Taiyin Shiyi cupped his hands in farewell. He had spent a considerable amount of time in seclusion to break through his cultivation barrier, and he was completely unaware of what had happened in the outside world during that time.

"Go, and I hope you can hold on until the day you achieve your ultimate goal. That way, I will have no regrets." The lingering spirit of the Qilin nodded slightly.

Taiyin Shiyi then took his leave. As for Bai Qilin, he would remain in the Qilin Immortal Palace to receive instruction from the Qilin's lingering will.

At the same moment, outside, in a certain natural field, Sun Stone Yi arrived at the most critical moment. He encountered the same problem as Moon Stone Yi: he was running out of steam. If it weren't for the three drops of Qilin essence blood, a kind of miraculous medicine, giving him a push, he might very well fail.

The Grand Elder of the Holy Academy saw all this and was anxious. He wanted to give Sun Stone a push, but he had no way to do so. He was short of resources and couldn't find anything comparable to the True Dragon Bone Marrow.

Seeing that Sun Stone was about to decline, the Grand Elder of the Holy Academy turned cold, his body rapidly rising to overlook the area.

Now that things have come to this, there is no other way but to sacrifice this naturally formed field. For such an amazing field to be formed, there must be something extraordinary supporting it.

Without hesitation, he took action. The power of the Supreme Being was so great that it could split the heavens and the earth. A large hand descended, its five fingers closing together, encompassing the entire natural field and throwing it into a furnace for refining. The Sun Stone was within the field, equivalent to a golden core, undergoing tempering.

At the same time, the Grand Elder of the Holy Academy clenched his fist and pounded his heart. His body shuddered, and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood, which dripped into the furnace.

Then, he opened his mouth and spat out blazing extreme fire, scorching the furnace and causing a surge of vital energy to converge towards the location of Sun Stone.

The Grand Elder of the Holy Academy was pale-faced and sighed inwardly. He knew that this was all he could do to help. Those drops of blood were all from his heart, which were much more precious than blood essence. They should have some effect, but no matter how much more he added, it wouldn't make a qualitative difference.

As time went by, strange phenomena suddenly appeared around the furnace. Ten demonic embryos rose into the air, and black feathers fell one after another, recreating the magnificent scene of ascension.

Sunstone also gained immense benefits, becoming several times stronger than before. (End of Chapter)
