Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

A waterfall-like sound suddenly emanated from Shi Hao's body, and the Ten Heavenly Caves hung behind him like a great sun, his whole body bursting with auspicious light.

This was not an illusion, but reality. With a slight exertion, Shi Hao's body emitted a sound like a mountain torrent bursting its banks, with astonishing momentum and powerful aura.

"Is this the power of the Ten Heavenly Caves?"

He could feel the immense power within his body, and he could clearly feel his internal organs pulsating like divine wheels, with his crystal-clear internal organs beating rhythmically, extremely powerful.

"Haha, little one, I didn't expect you to have broken through to the Tenth Heavenly Realm. Congratulations!" Qi Shi'an was happy for Shi Hao.

"However, it's far from reaching its peak," Qi Shi'an cautioned.

"Not yet at the pinnacle? How can one reach the pinnacle?"

Shi Hao was quite interested in the "ultimate" that Qi Shi'an mentioned.

"Naturally, only by merging the ten grotto heavens into one and simplifying the complex can one transcend this realm!" Qi Shi'an's words were truly astonishing.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao seemed struck by lightning, instantly stunned, muttering, "Fusion and unification, simplifying complexity, is the ultimate! The ultimate!"

As if struck by a thunderbolt, Shi Hao realized that surpassing the geniuses of his time was never his goal; what he wanted was to surpass all the sages of the past and forge his own path.

This is what Liu Shen hopes to see, and what he wants to achieve.

"Hahaha, Xiao An, you're right. Surpassing everyone is the path I want to take," Shi Hao laughed heartily.

"However, this journey is arduous. Even I dare not say that I can cross the threshold of life and death. Therefore, we must make full preparations for this trip to Baiduan Mountain." Qi Shi'an's expression was solemn, and his brows were furrowed.

This path is fraught with danger, practically guaranteeing certain death. Even if he possessed the Myriad Paths Tree and could avoid this path, continuing his cultivation peacefully, he could still achieve immortality.

However, having come to this world, how could he not try to transcend it? Stability may provide temporary protection, but it is not what he desires.

Cultivating peacefully will only confine him to one realm, turning him into a skeleton in the future great war. Only by reaching the pinnacle of each realm and completely transcending it can he gain a glimmer of hope.

"I have long since disregarded life and death along the way. Only by possessing great power can I protect the people who are important to me."

Shi Hao's eyes were resolute. He was never afraid of life and death because he had already experienced many life-and-death situations.

"Alright! Let us walk together on the great road."

Qi Shi'an was also captivated by Shi Hao's charm. He extended a fist, and Shi Hao, seeing this, also extended a fist. The two fists collided, as if a promise spanning countless years had been made.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the big red bird thought they were crazy. Ten cave heavens were not enough, they wanted to merge and unify them. This was simply unheard of.

"Let's go, let's continue our search for opportunities. The Treasure Sharing Cliff must be teeming with creatures, and perhaps even the white tiger from Xiling Beast Mountain is there. I don't want to miss out on such a delicacy."

Qi Shi'an licked his lips. He wouldn't let go of the ancient species like the white tiger he had encountered in Duankong City.

"That's true. I haven't had meat in a long time, and I'm starting to crave it."

Shi Hao's eyes lit up; he was also very much looking forward to the flesh and blood of the ancient remnant species.

The big red bird lowered its head, not daring to make a sound, for fear that the two demons would dislike it and turn around to stew it.

The two rode the big red bird through the clouds and flew to the vicinity of the Treasure Sharing Cliff, while also searching for the group of people from Xiling Beast Mountain.

After leaving the mountains, the two of them rode towards a glowing portal, a passage that would allow them to leave this swampy land and travel to another region.

The location of Fenbao Cliff is in another area, which is the center of Baiduan Mountain and is home to many ancient species.

The big red bird dashed past and quickly entered a new world along the golden passage.

As they flew over a forest, a group of people, who were chasing someone, caused the forest to tremble.

"Who dares to disturb us? The Wu King's Mansion is hunting a remnant species! Get out of the way immediately!" A deep voice rang out, rebuking the two people on the back of the big red bird.

"Prince Wu's Mansion..."

Shi Hao squinted, his eyes flickering slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Qi Shi'an teased from the side, "Oh, isn't that someone from your clan? Should we say hello?"

"Brothers, look at that sable. It looks like it's seriously injured, otherwise these people wouldn't be able to do anything to it."

The big red bird looked down at the sable below with some surprise. This sable was about ten feet long, its whole body was purple and its eyes were as clear and bright as rubies.

This sable is a rare ancient species, exuding an overwhelming spiritual aura. It has a vertical eye between its eyebrows, and it is unknown what kind of creature it fought with, as there is a terrifying claw mark there.

A group of teenagers rushed over, unleashing their magical weapons to attack and fight, determined to take down this ancient remnant species.

Shi Hao patted the big red bird, and it immediately landed, blocking the group of people's path.

"Retreat immediately! The Martial King's Mansion is capturing the ancient remnant species. Do not obstruct them!" shouted the young man at the forefront.

Qi Shi'an looked at the group with a mocking expression, tilted his head, and casually said, "Make a move?"

After all, the Martial King's Mansion belongs to Shi Hao's clan, and it is a family matter, so he cannot interfere. However, if he were to take action, he would surely take lives and leave no one alive.

"I'm talking to you guys, did you hear me!"

Another person shouted and rushed over, blocking the golden passage to prevent the sable from escaping to other areas.

Shi Hao stared coldly at the people in the Martial King's Mansion, lost in thought, trying to find their shadows in his sealed memories, perhaps he had even played with them when he was young.

No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't find a trace of these people. Perhaps they weren't the children he had met back then.

After he lost his Supreme Bone, his cousin, who used to play with him, disappeared and he was left with only Ah Man.

"Little one, hesitation only leads to trouble! If you don't know anyone, then everyone is an enemy." Qi Shi'an patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Sigh..." Shi Hao sighed.

Big Red Bird was somewhat surprised. Why was this vicious child acting so strangely? He seemed a little down.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to step aside and not interfere with our capture of the ancient remnants?" the boy at the front shouted angrily.

Hearing this, the big red bird retorted angrily, "I'm standing right here, what can you do to me! Besides, who do you think you are, daring to expect me to make way for you? What gives you the right!"

It reigned supreme in the outside world, and no one dared to provoke it easily. It had long since developed the habits of a mountain king, and it was naturally no pushover after entering Baiduan Mountain.

"Hmph, what an arrogant bird! Judging by its appearance, it's also an ancient remnant species. I think we should just take it along with that sable!" a young man said coldly.

With a wave of his hand, the group of people who were originally behind the sable quickly surrounded the sable and Qi Shi'an and the other two.

"Sigh, looks like we'll have to kill some more people!"

Qi Shi'an glanced contemptuously at the people from the Wu Prince's Mansion, a slight smile playing on his lips as he sighed softly.

"Haha... There aren't many people who dare to provoke my Martial King's Mansion. You're the first to do so since entering Hundred Broken Mountains!" The leading youth laughed with a gloomy face.

"Why waste so much time on nonsense? Let's capture them all. I think this Firebird is quite good. Once captured and tamed, it will be a rather extraordinary mount." The group laughed and slowly approached.

"Don't mess with us!" Shi Hao glared sharply at the people from the Martial King's Mansion.

"Who do you think you are? Do you really think you're Shi Yi from my clan?" The leader of the group said coldly, his tone extremely disdainful.

"Enough with the nonsense, take one of my punches and if you don't die, I'll spare your life!"

Qi Shi'an clenched his fists, his whole body radiating a blood-black light, a cold glint appearing in his eyes, and a fierce and tyrannical aura surging forth like a tidal wave.

"How arrogant!"

The leaders snorted coldly, completely disregarding them.

Suddenly, Qi Shi'an pounced forward with lightning speed, a true ferocious beast head materializing, and punched the person at the front.

Seeing the enemy approaching menacingly, the man felt no fear. He took out a piece of animal hide and placed it on his arm. The runes on the hide flickered and merged into his arm, becoming a part of his body.

His body grew much taller, and his arm, which had merged with the animal skin, developed dense scales that transformed into a dragon claw, which slapped forward.

With a loud "boom!", all the runes the boy had unleashed shattered.

"what!"

The boy screamed and flew hundreds of meters away. The bones in his right arm were broken and shattered, and he was covered in blood. He lay on the ground, barely alive.

At the same time, the animal hide fell off, separating from his flesh and blood. Its luster was dull, and several cracks appeared on the hide.

The rest of the Wu Wang Mansion members broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing the scene before them. The man who had just spoken was the strongest among them, yet he couldn't even withstand a single punch.

"Rest assured, by taking action I have already offended the Martial King's Mansion, so I will certainly not allow any of you talented individuals to return safely!"

Qi Shi'an's tone was quite arrogant, and his eyes were cold and sharp, like the cold wind in winter, penetrating and viciously piercing into the hearts of everyone in the Wu Prince's Mansion.

He took out four talisman bones obtained from the Void God Realm and sealed off the entire space, preventing the people of the Martial King's Mansion from escaping easily.

Seeing that they could not escape this calamity, the people of the Wu King's Mansion stepped forward with resolute eyes and gestures. Instantly, ripples appeared, and dragons emerged, their tails swaying, and attacked the three of them.

Shi Hao stood still, his palm glowing, and a golden lightning bolt struck out, causing several dragons to tremble violently before finally being obliterated.

Qi Shi'an unleashed another punch, and a true Hou transformed into a beast, its mouth wide open, unleashing a fierce devouring power that obliterated all the dragons, turning them into runes, which were then swallowed whole.

The group of teenagers from the Martial King's Mansion had grim and dark faces. The two children they had encountered this time were far too fierce, and their strength was superior to theirs.

"You two, aren't you those two brats who caused such a ruckus in the Realm of the Illusory Gods?!"

A boy exclaimed, causing everyone in the Martial King's Mansion to change their expressions. Reminded by this, they all matched the faces of the two people in front of them with those two unruly children.

Yes, nowadays, besides those two brats, which other kid under ten years old has such strength?

"Among these two is the child from my clan who died years ago. Kill them to prevent future troubles!"

"kill!"

The members of the Wu King's Mansion made their move again, each revealing their trump cards, determined to annihilate the two here.

Otherwise, Shi Yi might face a formidable enemy! Their Martial Prince's Mansion would also be in trouble!
