Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths
Chapter 6 An Unexpected Encounter
The Stone Kingdom is located in the eastern part of the desolate region, bordering the Fire Kingdom.
Qi Shi'an's Cuifeng Mountain Range is located in the southwest of Shi Kingdom, separated by the Great Wilderness, a distance of a million miles!
The journey was long and arduous, and he had no money to use a teleportation array to traverse the void.
So, we'll just have to rely on Ah Jin to walk the rest of the way, and he can eat and drink along the way.
While enjoying the beautiful scenery, you can also study the True Hou Treasure Technique, the Jiaolong Treasure Technique, and the Myriad Dao Tree within your body.
A journey of a million miles would take at least two months, and at most three to four months, which would be enough time for him to make some progress in his research and also see if he could break through to the Cave Heaven Realm.
"My shoes are torn, my hat is torn, and my robe is torn."
Qi Shi'an lay on A Jin's soft back, humming a little tune, closing his eyes, and began to study the Myriad Dao Tree inside his body.
The Myriad Paths Tree, which had been frantically absorbing the medicinal liquid that day, now had six more rune leaves.
There are now eight leaves in total. The runes on the rune leaves are constantly changing and extremely profound. The images of the black lion and the dragon engraved on the rune leaves are even more divine.
After devouring the Spirit Transformation Realm tiger spirit containing the bloodline of the True Hou, the runes of the True Hou Treasure Technique became more complete.
Qi Shi'an murmured to himself, "Judging from this, if we have a few dozen more creatures with the bloodline of the True Hou, the True Hou Treasure Technique will be complete."
However, the Jiaolong Treasure Technique is far from being transformed into the True Dragon Treasure Technique, since ferocious beasts containing the bloodline of true dragons are extremely rare.
"I am certain that I will be able to complete the treasure technique within the Hundred Broken Mountains. At that time, the power of the treasure technique will be greatly increased. I am quite looking forward to it."
Hundred Broken Mountains only open once every few hundred years, and are rich in ferocious beasts and treasures.
There are also quite a few ferocious beasts that enter from the outside, including ancient remnants and pure-blooded creatures.
By then, he will have no shortage of beings with the bloodlines of the True Hou and the True Dragon.
And so, day after day, Qi Shi'an and A Jin would rest at night and travel in the morning, regardless of wind or rain, sometimes even traveling through the night.
Throughout the journey, Qi Shi'an studied the runes on the Myriad Paths Tree.
All the branches, trunks, and rune-covered leaves of the myriad trees were formed from the rules of heaven and earth, and the runes on them were the most primitive runes, explaining the mysteries of heaven and earth.
The Tree of Myriad Paths itself has no magical techniques, but it can nurture magical techniques by capturing the spiritual bodies of living beings, eventually transforming the magical techniques into the origin of laws.
After its transformation, the original runes on the black beast's body actually formed a picture on the rune leaf.
A true Hou (a mythical beast) versus an unknown deity, and the real battle scene of the true Hou using its inherited treasure technique appeared in Qi Shi'an's mind.
The True Hou Devours the Heavens Diagram!
The Primordial True Hou opened its blood-red maw, like a black hole, distorting the surrounding space, tearing apart and swallowing all the stars, and the universe was slowly breaking apart.
This diagram only illustrates the operation of the runes. The Myriad Trees have removed many redundant parts from the precious techniques, allowing them to return to their most essential state.
As for the dragon, no rune combat images were displayed.
"It seems that it requires absorbing enough true dragon blood to form a battle engraving."
...........
After traveling eastward for more than a month, Qi Shi'an finally entered the Great Wilderness!
"We've finally entered the Great Wilderness; the Stone Kingdom is not far off."
The Great Wilderness is a vast region outside the border of the Stone Kingdom, covering an area of 300,000 li. Crossing the Great Wilderness will lead you to the Stone Kingdom.
After traveling for more than a month, Qi Shi'an finally no longer had to worry about the people chasing him. Although there might not be anyone chasing him, he felt that his sense of crisis was still quite strong.
For more than a month, he has been studying the precious techniques and the Myriad Paths Tree.
Now he has thoroughly understood all the runes on the eight rune leaves, and can even rearrange and combine them to make them unpredictable.
With the Myriad Paths Tree as a catalyst, he became even more proficient in magical techniques!
Although the Jiaolong Treasure Technique is not as good as the Zhenhou Treasure Technique, it has reached a level where it can be used at will.
The True Hou Treasure Technique can also unleash the divine power of devouring black holes, but due to its limited strength, the devouring power is not that strong.
Once he breaks through the cave heaven, his overall strength will undergo a qualitative change!
There wasn't much progress in his cultivation. Qi Shi'an could have broken through half a month ago, but he suppressed it.
He concealed his essence, energy, and spirit within his body, just like the Devouring Sparrow. Although he did not possess the unique runes of the Devouring Sparrow, he could still achieve this through the devouring power of the True Hou Treasure Technique.
Qi Shi'an wanted to open up several more caves at once. Half a month ago, he estimated that he could open up three caves, but he was still not satisfied. He felt that he could open up five caves at once.
Although his cultivation level is still at the Blood Transformation Realm, his pure physical strength has already surpassed the range of the 100,000 Extreme Realm, and he can exert 108,000 jin of divine power with a single swing of his arm!
"Let's wait and see if we can find an opportunity in the Great Wilderness. If not, we'll break through directly."
Qi Shi'an muttered to himself, determined to break through to the Cave Heaven realm before leaving the Great Wilderness.
After traveling through the wilderness for several days, Qi Shi'an had already encountered several attacks from ferocious beasts, but he had easily dealt with them all.
The ferocious beasts and birds of prey here are even more diverse and powerful than those in the Cuifeng Mountains.
However, there were too many ferocious beasts. In just eight or nine days, he was already dressed in rags, like a wild child. His clothes were stained red with the blood of the beasts and torn to shreds.
He had no extra clothes with him, so he could only cover himself with animal skins.
The uninhabited areas of the Great Wilderness are often inhabited by unimaginably terrifying creatures, so Qi Shi'an has no choice but to avoid dangerous areas.
In his view, those powerful beings would not care about a weak "ant" like him; in their eyes, there are only those overlord-level creatures.
Along the way, he also encountered a four-armed ape and an unknown ferocious beast fighting.
As soon as the two runes appeared, the earth collapsed and mountains crumbled, and a large mountain was directly flattened by them.
The two ferocious beasts were locked in a fierce battle, and he could only keep his distance to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Along the way, when they got hungry, they would pick all sorts of strange fruits to fill their stomachs. Ah Jin was able to distinguish which things were edible.
It must be said that A Jin's strength and bloodline are indeed strong enough. Relying on A Jin's intimidation, ordinary ferocious beasts dare not approach, and they can pass through without any obstacles.
Half a month later, Qi Shi'an was only 200,000 li away from Shi Kingdom. After A Jin's strength advanced, his speed also increased significantly.
"roar!"
Ajin suddenly stopped and pointed to a high mountain cliff, as if he had smelled something.
"What's wrong? Is there treasure up there?"
He trusted Ah Jin's nose; ferocious beasts were naturally sensitive to precious medicines, so he guessed that it was the aroma of some amazing precious medicine that had matured.
Qi Shi'an stood up and looked at the cliff face, which had many caves.
But there was a cave nestled among the clouds, emitting a faint glow that was barely perceptible unless one looked closely.
After so many days in the Great Wilderness, he finally encountered an opportunity and exclaimed excitedly, "Heaven will grant me this, but I will suffer the consequences! Ah Jin, let's climb up!"
"roar!"
A Jin stood up, his bear claws became sharp, and Qi Shi'an firmly gripped A Jin's body.
Its powerful hind legs unleashed astonishing force, and it leaped into the air, soaring through the clouds and landing on a cave slightly below, still several hundred meters away from the cave containing the treasure.
At this moment, Qi Shi'an finally saw the magnificent glow of the sunset: "Ah Jin, hurry up and get up there before anyone notices!"
"roar!"
Using the bear's claws, Ajin leaped up again and finally landed in the cave.
Only then did Qi Shi'an realize that the glowing light emanating from the cave was actually a precious herb shaped like a seven-colored chrysanthemum.
He didn't know what kind of precious medicine it was. There might be a record of it on the second floor of the Qi clan's library, but that didn't stop him from knowing that it was a rare and precious medicine.
The seven-colored chrysanthemum was surrounded by a halo, making it incredibly beautiful, and faintly visible shimmering runes could be seen on its petals.
Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from the distant clouds, shaking the mountains and sending an astonishing killing intent surging in like a tsunami.
Qi Shi'an looked back and saw the shadowy figure of a giant bird flying towards him!
Without a word, he plucked the precious medicine, mounted Ah Jin, and said urgently, "Hurry, this is the precious medicine guarded by that big bird!"
At this moment, he knew perfectly well that this seven-colored chrysanthemum was guarded by the giant bird, waiting for the moment it matured so it could be devoured and advance its cultivation.
A Jingang leaped off the cliff, and the giant bird tore open the cave with a single claw, sending rocks flying and shaking the entire mountain.
Qi Shi'an and A Jin rode at full speed, not daring to slack off in the slightest. This giant bird was over a hundred meters long, and if they were caught, they would be made into "snacks".
"Hey!"
The birdsong was like a stampede of ten thousand horses, its booming sound causing the surrounding mountains to rumble and huge rocks to tumble down, just like an earthquake.
This is an ancient remnant species. Ancient remnant species are rare and powerful creatures, and their bloodlines all come from ancient ferocious beasts.
Even though their bloodline has become diluted over the long years, they still retain some of the powerful abilities and characteristics of their ancestors.
"Ah Jin, run faster, or we'll be caught!"
"roar!"
Akin unleashed a powerful aura, moving with lightning speed.
Qi Shi'an looked back and saw a huge, crimson bird rising from the sky.
With a single flap of its enormous wings, it swept across the sky like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, flattening the mountains, forests, and rocks.
"boom!"
A vast, raging wave of flames swept in, turning flying rocks to ashes upon contact with the flames.
Wherever the crimson giant bird passed, everything was burned to ashes, leaving only a scorched black earth.
"We're about to be caught! Speed up, Ah Jin, I'll give you another drop of the divine liquid!"
Qi Shi'an's scalp tingled when he saw the giant bird's supernatural powers. This ancient remnant was far too powerful, far beyond his current ability to match.
Akin was moving at its fastest speed, leaving afterimages, but facing the crimson giant bird, it was only a matter of time before it was caught up.
This ancient remnant is incredibly powerful, its bloodline already overwhelming A Jin. A Jin's strength is far inferior to this crimson giant bird, and its speed is on a completely different level.
Moreover, the giant bird's fire magic burned everything in its path, leaving them nowhere to hide.
Qi Shi'an turned around and unleashed a black sun, attempting to use the True Hou Treasure Technique to slow down the giant bird.
A blood-black True Hou lunged out from the dark sun, colliding with the flames of the crimson giant bird. In an instant, the True Hou was pierced and destroyed by the flames.
"The difference in strength is too great!" Qi Shi'an exclaimed inwardly.
"Ah Jin, keep going forward!" Qi Shi'an shouted.
However, just as they were preparing to climb a towering mountain, an unexpected event occurred.
At the crossroads, he encountered a child just like himself, riding a white unicorn with a golden monkey on his shoulder!
"Fate can't be that unpredictable, can it?"
Qi Shi'an never expected to encounter Shi Hao under these circumstances.
This left him somewhat amused and exasperated. It seemed that the five-colored peacock was also chasing after Shi Hao; fate really did like to play tricks on people.
However, Shi Hao on the other side was also startled. Then, he heard two long cries, which immediately woke the two of them up.
"Quickly, get up the mountain!" Qi Shi'an shouted.
The group couldn't care less about anything else. Qi Shi'an rode Ah Jin, and Shi Hao rode the unicorn, and together they rushed up the mountain.
Below the mountains, a wide river stretches for over ten miles, its waters gurgling and its chilling air palpable.
The crimson giant bird cried out, its murderous aura soaring to the sky. A massive wave of flames erupted from its body as it swooped down, intending to devour them whole.
"Ah Jin, jump!"
Qi Shi'an shouted, and two drops of the Myriad Dao Tree Divine Liquid condensed in his hand. He and A Jin swallowed them, gritted their teeth, and jumped down.
"Thump!"
Seeing how decisively the children his age jumped, Shi Hao immediately gave the five-colored peacock eggs in his hand to the unicorn and the monkey, and then jumped down as well.
As soon as they entered the river, their blood froze almost instantly. It was as if there was a mysterious force in the water that wanted to freeze their bodies and souls to pieces!
In the sky, the two ancient remnants met, but unusually, they did not fight. Instead, they both swooped down, and when they approached the water's surface, they hesitated and let out angry cries.
The crimson giant bird unleashed a burst of divine flames, incinerating everything nearby.
The five-colored divine light of the peacock surged forth, leveling the mountain into the ground.
Underwater, Ajin struggled desperately, its blood almost ceasing to flow. Fortunately, the drop of divine liquid it had drunk transformed into a radiant glow, preventing it from freezing to death immediately.
They did not rush to surface, enduring the excruciating pain in both their souls and bodies, and rushed downstream along the black river in order to escape the massacre.
But the crimson giant bird and the five-colored peacock were clearly unwilling to give up. The crimson giant bird was unwilling to let go of the opportunity that was about to come so easily. It flapped its wings and chased after them all the way down the river.
The five-colored peacock had no intention of letting the egg thief get away with it. Its bright and beautiful feathers were like they were on fire. It flapped its wings, which cracked the nearby mountains. Then it chased after the thief down the river.
Unfortunately, this black river blocked their divine senses, preventing them from accurately finding even the slightest trace of the flower thief or the egg thief.
Even so, they chased for more than two hours, constantly lingering in this area of water, searching for flower thieves and egg thieves, but unfortunately they returned disappointed in the end.
Both birds were in a state of extreme anger and wanted to vent their rage.
However, unable to do anything to the opponent, it could only leave behind two angry cries before departing.
