Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

Early in the morning, the elders and the clan leader of the Qi clan gathered in the main hall.

"Has my son's body still not been found?"

A middle-aged man frowned, his eyes reddened, and his face showed sorrow.

"Ninth Brother, don't worry, aren't the men down below already searching?"

"How could I not be anxious? He was my only son, and now I don't even know where he is!"

The middle-aged man, who was called Lao Jiu, burst into tears.

He was in seclusion, trying to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, but this morning he was told that his son's soul tablet had been shattered!

Upon learning this news, he was so enraged that he failed to break through to the next realm and was seriously injured!

"Chieftain, elders, we have found signs of burning in the mountains about twenty miles away, and there are traces of blood on the surrounding grass."

"Take me there!" The old man's voice was cold.

In the mountains and forests, the Nine Elders saw bloodstains on the ground and a token with the character "Qi" on it, with a wisp of a blue robe still hanging on the token.

That was his child's blue robe. He roared angrily, "Who killed my Huan'er? If I find you, I will grind you to dust!"

The clan chief also came over. He was the most powerful cultivator in the Qi clan, having reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Upon arriving here, he sensed an unusually fierce aura, the residual power of an extremely powerful magic technique.

In his view, the one who killed Qi Huan was not a particularly skilled fighter.

Otherwise, such obvious traces of their presence wouldn't have been left behind, unless it was a deliberate provocation!

"Clan leader, what have you noticed?" The Ninth Clan Elder's voice was extremely low and sorrowful.

"There is a peculiar aura lingering here. Judging from the extent of the destruction around us, it was probably an opponent of equal strength to Qi Huan who used an extremely powerful magic technique."

"Otherwise, the other side would not have been able to kill Qi Huan, who possessed a treasure."

"Furthermore, there are only two forces within this hundred-mile radius: my Qi clan and Tianyang Mountain. Tianyang Mountain has always kept to itself and never interfered with us."

"Therefore, the one who made this move must be someone from within the Qi clan. Go and check if anyone left the clan today."

Chief Qi frankly shared his views.

"If it was truly someone from within the Qi clan who killed them, then why would they have fled? Wouldn't that only increase suspicion?"

The elder of the Nine Clans did not quite agree with the view that the murderer had escaped; he concluded that the person was still in the clan.

Chief Qi remained silent. After seeing the lingering aura in the area, he knew the reason for Qi Huan's death.

Given his greedy nature towards Lao Jiu, how much better could Qi Huan, Lao Jiu's son, be?

It must have been that Qi Huan accidentally learned that a member of his clan possessed a powerful technique, and he wanted to kill and rob him, but unfortunately, he lacked the strength and was instead killed by that person using the technique.

At this moment, Chief Qi only wanted to know what kind of magical technique it was that could contain such ferocious residual power.

"Could it be... an extremely rare and powerful magic technique?!"

Chief Qi only wanted to capture this person as soon as possible, regardless of whether he lived or died, and to obtain that supreme treasure technique.

Perhaps their Qi clan can truly rise from this point on, no longer needing to be subservient to others.

......

An hour later, in the main hall of the Qi clan, all the elders were listening to the report from the newcomer.

"Chieftain, elders, a total of 128 clansmen left this morning, most of whom traveled in groups of three or four."

"Only Qi Shi'an, no one knows when he left, nor has anyone seen any trace of him."

"This is information about Qi Shi'an."

A member of the clan took out a booklet containing Qi Shi'an's basic information and handed it to the clan chief.

Chief Qi looked through the information recorded above: Qi Shi'an, six years old, his parents had died two years ago, and he also had some connection with the Kun tribe.

"Find him, dead or alive, and bring him back to me!"

Chief Qi issued the order; at this moment, he only wanted to obtain the precious technique, and he didn't care whether Qi Shi'an lived or died.

If the Qi clan obtains that supreme treasure technique, they will have a chance to rise to power!

In this era, precious techniques are extremely rare, and their Qi clan only possesses one clan-protecting technique.

On this day, almost the entire Qi clan leadership came out to find the traitor, Qi Shi'an!

......

Meanwhile, Qi Shi'an had already arrived at the outer edge of the Cuifeng Mountains.

Here, towering mountains rise one after another, a place where all living beings dwell. If you travel through the mountains, you will reach the Stone Kingdom.

There are many major sects there, and Qi Shi'an's purpose in making this trip was to see if he could join one of them to cultivate.

Whether it's the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, the Deer-Chasing Academy, or the Divine King Palace, they are all excellent places for him to cultivate.

These ancient sects possess numerous ancient inscriptions and precious techniques; perhaps the Myriad Paths Tree can even help him comprehend several more profound techniques.

"We've been traveling all night without stopping, and we're quite tired. We'll go into the mountains to find a ferocious beast to ride on."

"If they misbehave on the way, they can have a snack if they get hungry."

Qi Shi'an walked into the mountains. Along the way, there were many huge rocks, tall trees, and strange little animals.

The creatures described in books ultimately exist only in books; only after seeing them with one's own eyes can one realize how vast the world truly is.

"Wow, what a huge bear!"

Qi Shi'an looked at the giant bear that was staring intently at him not far away.

The giant bear was four times the size of his small body; he had never seen such a large bear in his previous life.

The bear was entirely golden, covered in dazzling golden fur, with thick limbs and a cone-shaped pure gold horn on its forehead.

Upon seeing the giant bear's image, Qi Shi'an suddenly remembered what kind of monster it was.

"The Golden Unicorn Bear, still a cub, with its imposing and tall stature, must be incredibly strong. I choose you!"

Qi Shi'an stared intently at the golden unicorn bear, his entire body radiating a ferocious aura like that of a real mythical beast.

The golden unicorn bear sensed this terrifying aura and instinctively ran on all fours, trying to escape.

But how could Qi Shi'an let it go so easily? He exerted force with both legs, his figure as swift and agile as lightning, and punched the golden unicorn bear, causing it to let out a miserable "howl".

The golden unicorn bear still tried to resist, struggling desperately, and swung a claw at him. The claw was incredibly sharp, like a sword.

He flashed, and the giant bear's claw marks were deeply imprinted on the ground, leaving an extremely deep crack.

Qi Shi'an immediately conjured a phantom image of a real Hou's head and attached it to his fist.

True Hou Fist!

The blood-black fist energy slammed towards the golden unicorn bear, creating a nearly ten-meter-wide crater in the ground with a loud "boom." The terrifying aura terrified the bear, causing it to flee in terror.

"Be my mount! How about it?"

Looking at Qi Shi'an's fierce and evil smile, the golden unicorn bear dared not have any other thoughts and kept nodding in agreement.

"You're smart to know what's good for you, otherwise you'd be a steamed bear's paw."

Qi Shi'an jumped onto its back, gave it two light kicks, and the two of them ran towards the depths of the mountains.

He dared not even think of resting. This was still the outer edge of the mountain range. If he were caught, he would surely die a gruesome death.

His current thought was to venture deeper into the caves, where there were many ferocious beasts and hidden caves, making it the perfect place to hide and cultivate in peace.

Having experienced last night's battle, he gained a deeper understanding of the True Hou Treasure Technique, and his physical strength also broke through to 90,000 jin.

In just a few days, he will be able to break through to the 100,000 Extreme Realm. At that time, he will be able to find a safe place to enter the Void God Realm.

On the first floor of the library, he found a way to enter the Realm of the Gods through his many observations and experiences.

Who knows, we might even break a few records and obtain some original bone books or something.

After traveling dozens of miles, the mountains we passed through were lush and green, with ancient trees reaching for the sky and abundant vegetation, full of vitality. From time to time, the roars of beasts and the chirping of birds could be heard in the distance.

The further they went, the more dangerous it became. During this time, a huge bird flew overhead. The bird was as big as a mountain, and its flapping wings almost lifted Qi Shi'an off his feet.

It covered more than 2,000 miles in just three days. I have to say, this golden unicorn bear is quite fast.

It only rested for less than eight hours in three days, yet it ran so far.

"We've come this far, we should be safe for now. Let's find a cave to rest."

Qi Shi'an lay lazily on the back of the golden unicorn bear and asked, "Hey, Ah Jin, where are some secluded caves around here?"

Ajin was the name he gave it. Although this golden unicorn bear was a cub, it was huge and looked extremely fierce. No ferocious beasts dared to approach it along the way.

"Roar! Roar!"

Golden Unicorn Bear Ajin gestured for a while, but Qi Shi'an didn't understand what it meant, so he simply said, "Just lead the way!"

"roar!"

The golden unicorn bear dared not anger this little tyrant, fearing it would get punched again.

The ferocity of that True Hou Fist is still etched in its mind to this day, utterly terrifying.

Golden unicorn bear Ajin carried its little ancestor Qi Shi'an slowly towards a nearby cave.

It walked and stopped, sniffing the ground to see if there were any mountain springs or rivers nearby, for there must be caves there.

As night fell, they finally found a very secluded cave in a dense forest surrounded by bamboo.

Moreover, there is a waterfall not far away, which is where the ferocious beasts from the surrounding area come to drink water.

"This place is excellent. If I get hungry, I can wait for the beasts by the waterfall."

"Oh right, after running for so long, I forgot about the treasure in that storage bag."

Inside the cave, Qi Shi'an emptied his storage bag of everything, looking disgusted: "This is too poor. How come there isn't even a decent treasure?"

The descendant of a clan elder had no precious blood or medicine; the only two things worth seeing were the precious bone cone and a green bead.

"Is this the bead that can conceal divine sense?"

He used his divine sense to investigate and learned the function of the bead, but it also had limitations.

The emerald green bead is called the Azure Hidden Bead, and it can resist the detection of divine sense.

However, it has no effect on cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Realm; it is only effective for those below the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This is too limiting; it's only somewhat useful for ordinary people at the Cave Heaven Realm.

For those geniuses who have opened up eight or nine grotto-heavens, it is a useless jewel.

"Oh, I thought it would be something amazing, but it can only deal with Blood Transport and Cave Heaven."

"Forget it, let's just keep it as a decoration. If we ever run into a fool, we'll just trick him into selling it."

The thought of using it to fool people and sell it for a good price made him extremely happy.

After so many days of hard work, he was also quite tired, and Ah Jin lay down and fell asleep early.

He lay down on Ah Jin's soft back and fell asleep.
