Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

Chapter 64 Trading

At this moment, strange phenomena appeared on Shi Hao's body one after another, and his aura was soaring and pierced through the sky. He knew that he was about to merge the ten cave heavens into one, so he jumped off the divine carpet.

A loud crash was heard as he smashed down a mountain peak, causing many ferocious beasts and birds of prey to flee in terror.

Above the ground, ten black holes hung in the void, where vital energy surged and burst forth with light of various colors. Giant rocks and ancient trees, like duckweed in the sea, were tossed about and then shattered.

"The Ten Heavenly Grottoes!"

High in the sky, several sealers on the Void Beast Skin cried out in surprise. This was too amazing. Although they had a premonition that this baby had opened up the Ten Heavens Cave, they still couldn't help but be shocked after seeing it with their own eyes.

The Ten Heavens, a realm originally only recorded in ancient books, was actually broken through by this young man, and such an amazing spectacle was unfolding.

The nine-headed lion, the great red bird, and others were also marveling, but relatively speaking, they weren't so shocked, because they had long sensed that these two were definitely outcasts among humans.

These two mischievous children are comparable to Zhenhou, Taotie, and Taowu; they are truly humanoid ferocious beasts.

"You don't need to go down; stay in the sky and help keep watch!"

Qi Shi'an quickly jumped off the Void Beast Skin, took out several pieces of talisman bone and set up a large array. Shi Hao's breakthrough must not be disturbed.

Various runes flickered here, and runes spewed out from the ten caves, floating and sinking in the gushing essence, which was quite a spectacular sight.

Qi Shi'an released a portion of the essence previously stored in the Holy Demon Cave, and even took out several jars of pure-blooded creatures' precious blood to help Shi Hao break through!

Ten grotto-heavens appeared around Shi Hao, rapidly absorbing all the spiritual energy in the area and refining the divine essence of these precious bloods.

"Is he giving back? What exactly is this child trying to do?"

The bald man was very puzzled. He had already reached the Ten Heavens of Perfection, so what more did he need?

Suddenly, runes burned all over Shi Hao's body, his bones crackled and popped, his flesh trembled, and endless essence and spirit transformed into a true dragon that surged up, splitting into ten streams that disappeared into the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens.

"Boom!"

The sounds of the Dao were endless, and the ten grotto heavens roared and shone brilliantly, as if a celestial realm had appeared. The ten grotto heavens were connected and their divine radiance was boiling.

Qi Shi'an condensed three drops of the Myriad Dao Tree Divine Liquid, which flew towards Shi Hao. The medicinal power of this Myriad Dao Tree Divine Liquid was now like that of a sacred medicine, with astonishing vitality, and its divine essence continuously flowed into Shi Hao's body.

It will take Qi Shi'an up to five years to condense a single drop of the Myriad Dao Tree Divine Liquid. Although it takes a long time, its medicinal power surpasses that of many sacred medicines.

Using the petals he plucked from the Myriad Paths Tree, Shi Hao cleared his mind of countless thoughts, and in an instant, the world seemed to quiet down.

The power of the Great Dao contained within the petals gave Shi Hao a flash of inspiration: "I think I know what to do!"

He was deeply moved, as if he had grasped something and knew how to proceed.

Qi Shi'an smiled slightly: "Finally, I understand. It seems that the cave heaven you constructed is somewhat different from my cave heaven."

His unique grotto-heaven was a grotto-heaven within his body, with the two resonating with each other; while Shi Hao's was a true unity of inner and outer, constructing his unique grotto-heaven.

His ability to preserve his inner world was perhaps due to the insights he gained on Mount Moro, which triggered the restrictions set up by Supreme Luo Xiu, as well as the fusion with the Myriad Dao Tree. It was an unexpected bonus.

Shi Hao's breakthroughs are all achieved step by step, relying on his own opportunities. His appearance only accelerates the process of Shi Hao's integration of the ten grotto heavens.

After sensing that Shi Hao had gained some insight, Qi Shi'an knew that this time they would surely succeed. All he needed to do was keep a close watch on the surroundings and prevent anyone from getting close to the place.

Shi Hao repeatedly reenacted the cave heaven, leaving everyone on the divine carpet terrified and their hearts pounding.

"Brutality! What a truly brutal brat! Not only is he brutal to others, but he's even more brutal to himself!" one of the sealers exclaimed.

"This is enough to scare the ancient powerful beings to death!"

Er Tu Zi was speechless, stunned and dumbfounded. He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was too incredible. Was this still a human being? Had the outside world become like this?

Huo Ling'er was also dumbfounded, staring blankly at the divine carpet. This was too frightening, completely contrary to common sense, and was an anomaly!

The ten grottoes were recreated. After they opened, each one rumbled loudly, filled with divine power like the sea, and brimming with immortal light and auspicious energy. If others were to see this, they would definitely terrify those so-called geniuses.

This reenactment of the grotto-heaven took place for an entire night, until the golden crow rose. A divine halo, like a blazing divine sun, rose with the golden crow, hanging high in the sky.

The sight was terrifying; a golden halo hung in the sky, crackling with thunder and lightning, dazzling and enveloping Shi Hao.

When gentle, it resembles the divine moon, with a solitary figure within, its clear light scattering down, peaceful and sacred; when powerful, the divine halo is like the blazing sun, with an extremely awe-inspiring figure at its center.

This sight astonished everyone on the divine carpet. He had actually walked such a path as well. The ten grotto heavens merged with each other, transforming into a single grotto heaven divine ring. It was truly a spectacle.

The bald boy had only been born a short time when he witnessed this scene and was completely terrified. He muttered to himself, "My God, this is not only frightening to the ancient powerful beings, but I bet even the great beings of the Primordial Era will be startled."

No one had ever seen such a scene before. Even at the foot of the Treasure Sharing Cliff, they were only amazed by the strange changes in Qi Shi'an's cave, but no one had ever seen how he did it.

They thought it was just an isolated incident, but today they witnessed it with their own eyes.

Shi Hao walked his own path and his own way right before their eyes, evolving the cave heaven to its ultimate form, which would astonish anyone who saw it.

"Is this the unique grotto-heaven that Xiao An mentioned?" Shi Hao murmured.

The light within him grew ever brighter, like a sun, merging with the Unique Cave Heaven to transform into a terrifying, hazy "Immortal Realm".

At this moment, Shi Hao was completely clear and spotless, his flesh was crystal clear, and endless essence was surging into his body through this cave, washing over every inch of his flesh and blood.

"Haha—little one, you've finally made it this far!"

With a smile on his face, Qi Shi'an put away the talisman bone and slowly walked towards Shi Hao.

"Xiao An, I feel like I have inexhaustible energy right now. Is this the benefit of merging the Ten Heavenly Caves?"

Shi Hao was overjoyed, his smile pure and bright. He continuously released divine halos, his entire body radiating divine light, which was astonishing.

"From now on, I will raise Kunpeng, Jiuyou, and Suanni in my grotto-heaven—"

Shi Hao counted them one by one, and had already made plans for each of the precious techniques he wanted to cultivate. He wanted to build a world within the Unique Cave Heaven.

As soon as everyone stepped off the divine carpet, they heard the cruel child's words, leaving them speechless. Just moments ago, he had been so powerful, like a god, but now he was laughing and joking like this.

But they couldn't help but show a hint of envy; this was quite a feat.

Now that they have all witnessed the process of the ten grotto heavens merging into one, they are all thinking that they will be next.

Even Huo Ling'er wants to embark on this path, but unfortunately, she has not yet opened up her tenth cave heaven, and the gap between her and those two brats is getting bigger and bigger.

"It's a success just like that?"

Shi Hao scratched his head. Although the process was extremely dangerous, his body was almost torn to pieces several times, and he was almost completely destroyed, but he managed to pull through. It was all worth it.

"I felt the same way you did at first, it didn't feel real. You'll get used to it eventually," Qi Shi'an said calmly.

"To celebrate the successful unification of my ten celestial grottoes, let's drink a few more cups of exquisite nectar!"

Shi Hao returned to the divine carpet with a grin. After a while of resting and recuperating, he felt exhausted after working all night and needed to replenish his energy.

Then, he started eating and drinking heartily again, devouring the meat of the remnant species and gulping down monkey wine, his little face flushed.

Qi Shi'an also started eating and drinking. He needed to store up more essence so that he could break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm once he got out.

Everyone saw that the two of them seemed completely unaffected by what had happened the night before, continuing to do as they pleased, drinking wine under the moon.

They also began to compete, witnessing two examples of the merging of the Ten Heavens into one. How could they not want to follow this path? They all began to devote themselves to cultivation, making use of the last moments to improve their strength.

In the past few days, the big red bird, the nine-headed lion, the sable, and others have all undergone amazing transformations, and Huo Ling'er has also gained a lot, as if she has been reborn.

Almost all of the creatures had broken through, and their Void Beast skins shimmered with light, making them exceptionally radiant.

Qi Shi'an lay on the divine carpet, his thoughts drifting to the outside world. Soon, the lifespan of the sacrificial spirit of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion would end, and a bloody storm and a great war would be inevitable.

He didn't know if his Myriad Dao Tree Divine Liquid could extend his life by a few years. At present, the Spiritual Ascension Realm was still far from the next major realm. Unless he took a life-extending medicine, there was no other way.

The death of the sacrificial spirit was inevitable, and he had to come up with a way to preserve the Heaven-Mending Pavilion as much as possible.

Since arriving in this world, only two places have given Qi Shi'an a sense of home: Stone Village and Butian Pavilion.

The elders of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion treated him quite well. In order to protect him, they did not hesitate to throw him into the Scripture Pavilion, euphemistically called "confinement."

It is actually a form of protection and shows the importance attached to him. What other force would confine someone to a sacred place like the Library of Scriptures?

As Qi Shi'an pondered, his gaze inadvertently fell upon Huo Ling'er, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him: "I've got it!"

"Princess, how about we make a deal?" Qi Shi'an transmitted his thoughts to Huo Ling'er.

Huo Ling'er looked at the child lying on the divine carpet with slightly puzzled eyes: "What kind of deal!"

"I will exchange a minor sacred herb for the Fire Emperor's intervention to protect the Heaven-Mending Pavilion in the future!" Qi Shi'an said calmly.

"Protect the Heaven-Mending Pavilion? What do you mean?" Huo Ling asked in confusion.

Qi Shi'an used his divine sense to explain the crisis facing the Heaven-Mending Pavilion to her, and then tried to persuade the Fire Kingdom princess with reason and emotion.

As the most beloved daughter of the Human Emperor, this Fire Kingdom princess might be able to get his advice, so he had no choice but to take a gamble.

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er fell silent for a moment.

The struggle between these powerful forces is extremely complex, after all, many of them have powerful backers in the Upper Realm, and even her father, the Emperor, cannot easily intervene.

Seeing that Huo Ling'er remained unmoved, Qi Shi'an offered another heavy condition: "Besides the Immortal Peach Tree, this minor sacred medicine, I will also teach you a move from the True Dragon Treasure Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er was immediately tempted. No one would not want the True Dragon Treasure Technique, as it was the inherited treasure technique of the True Dragon, the leader of the Ten Fiends!

Even if it's just one move, its value is immeasurable.

"I'll try my best!" Huo Ling'er agreed after thinking for a moment, but still reminded him, "However, I can't guarantee that Father will definitely intervene. You must be prepared for failure."

Qi Shi'an nodded: "Whether you succeed or not, the immortal peach tree will be yours."

He was already prepared for what Huo Ling'er said. Even if the Human Emperor was unwilling to take action, it would only mean losing a single Immortal Peach Tree, which was acceptable to him.

If the Human Emperor is willing to protect the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, it would be a win-win situation. The Human Emperor would obtain the precious techniques and medicines, and the Heaven-Mending Pavilion could continue to exist, and the elders would not have to die as martyrs.

Even if the gates of Butian Pavilion are destroyed, as long as people are alive, there is always hope for the future!

Qi Shi'an was confident that as long as he had a few years to grow, he would surely rise to great heights and become invincible in the entire lower realm!

This is his confidence!
