Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

Chapter 74 Reunion of the Illusory Gods

The Cangwu Mountains are shrouded in mist, which, under the glow of the morning sun, displays a kaleidoscope of colors and radiates a hazy brilliance.

More than three months had passed since the destruction of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. Since arriving in the Xuan Domain, everyone had begun to go into seclusion.

After that battle, many of the survivors gained enlightenment, and many elders who were originally in the late stage of the Array Formation Realm broke through to the perfect stage of the Array Formation Realm.

After the Pavilion Master and Lei Zu Mu Yan recovered, they broke through to the Supreme Realm, far surpassing their previous achievements.

During this period, Qi Shi'an discussed the distribution of Dark Immortal Gold with many elders.

In the end, he obtained 90% of the immortal gold and, with the help of the elders, forged his own battle halberd and armor!

He named them the Heavenly Demon Halberd and the Halloween True Demon Armor!

These two weapons and armor, though entirely black, still couldn't stop the intense black energy from surging out, and wisps of demonic patterns appeared.

The runes engraved on the armor are all runes from the leaves of the Myriad Paths Tree, and they are incredibly mysterious.

If he can obtain more immortal gold treasures in the future and integrate them into his equipment, they may even become his immortal weapons for proving his Dao. These are treasures that countless people want but can never obtain. Now, his equipment is all made of immortal gold, which makes people extremely envious.

Due to the special properties of Dark Immortal Gold, two battle halberds were forged. One weighed over nine million catties, while the other, weighing only 108,000 catties, was designed for use in the Void God Realm.

The armor used even more materials and was much heavier, weighing nearly 10.08 million jin (approximately 6.6 million kg).

But Qi Shi'an remained fearless, for he had already reached the pinnacle in every realm, possessing unparalleled divine power.

With his current strength, he can already wield a halberd weighing over nine million jin. With this halberd and armor, his physique will only become stronger.

These days, Qi Shi'an has been in seclusion cultivating, except for trying to forge his physique with the halberd and armor.

He integrated the precious techniques he had acquired with the inherited methods of Supreme Luo Xiu, and began to create his own supernatural powers.

He has now inscribed three runes within his body, and with some time to accumulate, he can attempt a breakthrough.

Once a cultivator reaches the Inscription Realm, they truly begin to explore the original mysteries of bone inscriptions, directly confronting and understanding the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth for the first time.

Upon reaching this level, cultivators will no longer completely borrow the runes from ferocious beasts and birds of prey, but will be able to inscribe some symbols they have comprehended within their bodies.

This realm can be divided into four major realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and perfect stage, which is a consensus among cultivators.

Advancing to each minor level requires years of accumulation and consumes a great deal of time.

In the early stages, three runes can be inscribed, and in the middle stages, three more runes can be inscribed, and the prototype of one's own magic technique can be initially formed.

However, Qi Shi'an did not follow the usual path. He engraved the runes on the rune leaves of the Myriad Paths Tree into his body and built a rune system that transcended the norm, based on the Myriad Laws Origin Rune.

The runes he inscribed possessed both the characteristics of all spirits and his own Daoist essence due to the Myriad Dao Tree, forming a unique "Divine Dawn Artifact." They were no longer ordinary basic runes, but Daoist runes suitable for his own cultivation!

"What?! Where are you planning to cause trouble this time?"

Xiong Fei stared angrily at the eight-year-old child in front of him.

He has only been in the Xuan Domain for a short time and is not familiar with the surrounding environment, yet he dares to claim that he wants to go out to cultivate!

"Oh dear, I'm just going to a secret place, and I have a map, so I'm not afraid of encountering any mishaps," Qi Shi'an said confidently.

He came to the Xuan Domain with a specific purpose in mind, and he was determined to explore the Fallen Dragon Valley no matter what.

"No! You possess a priceless treasure, yet your strength is insufficient. How can you risk your life in an unfamiliar place?" Elder Zhuo Yun said earnestly.

"Yes, now that we've finally settled down, why are you already thinking about going out?" an elder advised.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him otherwise, Qi Shi'an hung his head and said helplessly, "Then how can I get out?"

"Focus on your cultivation. A year from now, when Ancestor Mu Yan emerges from seclusion, he will protect you on your path."

Under the persuasion of many elders, Qi Shi'an had no choice but to settle for second best and choose to enter the Void God Realm to cultivate.

In recent days, they have also sent disciples out in disguise to learn about the Xuan Domain. The Cangwu Mountains where they are located are within the territory ruled by the Western Sect.

The top power in the Xuan Domain is actually a situation of "one superpower and many strong powers", with the Immortal Mountain as the absolute hegemon, controlling the core resources of the Xuan Domain.

Meanwhile, the branches of the Western Religion, the Heaven-Mending Religion, and the Heaven-Intercepting Religion, along with other ancient families and the Chaos Secret Realm, maintained a balance of power.

Furthermore, these forces all have lineages in the Upper Realm, and their strength and foundation are top-notch, making their position in the Xuan Domain unshakeable.

Especially when they heard about the Patching Heaven Sect, all the elders' faces turned grim.

Qi Shi'an naturally knew the reason, but the Patching Heaven Sect had a lineage in the Upper Realm and even had a sect leader-level expert, which was not something that he, a small fry, could shake.

Qi Shi'an, sitting upright on the futon, fell into deep thought: "So much time has passed, I wonder how the little one is doing."

"Forget it, who cares? A scourge lives on for a thousand years. I'm back in the Realm of the Void Gods!"

He sat cross-legged on the futon, his spiritual body directly entering a vast ruin, stepping onto the golden passage, and with a flash of light, he instantly arrived at the starting point.

Qi Shi'an made no attempt to hide his true identity, not even bothering to change his appearance, and swaggered around the starting point.

His purpose in returning this time is to wipe out all the forces that attacked the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"That's... the Fierce Child?! Wasn't it rumored that he died at Starfall Mountain?"

"Impossible! Of all those who have entered Starfall Mountain, have you ever seen anyone come out alive? It must be someone in disguise."

"But—in the original land, who would dare to disguise themselves like this? Wouldn't that be courting death?"

The place was still bustling with people, and some of them seemed to have recognized Qi Shi'an's identity.

As a rising star in its original location, its appearance caused a huge uproar.

"You, come here and tell me, what major things have happened while I was away?"

Qi Shi'an remained unfazed and beckoned to one of the people in the crowd.

The young man he pointed to stood out in the crowd because of his outstanding demeanor, which suggested he was from a prominent family.

"Boy, do you know that walking around with this face will bring you trouble?"

The young man did not leave, but stood still, looking at Qi Shi'an with a rather mocking gaze.

Qi Shi'an squinted, dismissively saying, "Oh, really?"

Just then, a group of people rushed over, all exuding a menacing aura, and almost simultaneously demanded answers.

"I'll see which arrogant fool dares to disguise themselves as that wicked brat!"

"Boy, do you realize that by sporting this appearance, you're making yourself our enemy!"

"Show your true form now, or I'll spare your life!"

They were furious, with various runes flowing around their bodies, densely packed, indicating that they were ready to take drastic action if they were dissatisfied.

Qi Shi'an sensed several different bone scripts almost instantly, from all the families he had grudges against.

In addition, forces from other factions also gathered there; without a doubt, the Tuoba clan was among them.

The people of Xiling Beast Mountain.

Back then, the various sects joined forces to destroy the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. Among them were not only the Tuoba Clan, the Rain Clan, the Six Great Families, and the Xiling Beast Mountain, but also some extremely powerful forces.

If it weren't for the Fire Emperor's intervention, many more elders and geniuses might have perished in their Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

Qi Shi'an's eyes flashed with a strange, blood-black light, and he couldn't help but sneer inwardly. These people were truly persistent.

The six major families and the Kun clan that he and Shi Hao had destroyed in the Void God Realm had all rebuilt their settlements after the battle at the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

Even though they witnessed them enter Starfall Mountain and believed they were most likely dead, they still wouldn't let go of any clues and had to make sure they were dead.

After all, the talent he displayed was so terrifying that even some ancient sects feared he might rise from the ashes and eventually become a major threat.

"Those who are meant to come have all arrived. Very good. I seem to recall saying that the seven great families are not allowed to appear where I am."

"Since you're here today, let's collect some interest first!"

Qi Shi'an's body was covered in blood-black divine light, with runes intertwined with heaven and earth. A phantom of an ancient true roar appeared, and its roar made everyone present feel pain in their eardrums.

"You dare!"

The Mongol people were furious. They raised their hands and sent out a cloud of stardust, which quickly transformed into stars. The stars rumbled and moved, one after another, large stars rotating and surrounding the area.

Everyone was shocked. How powerful must this person be to bring such a treasure and set up a magic array to trap and kill the enemy right away?

Qi Shi'an felt immense pressure, but he remained fearless, his body glowing with light as he raised his hand and unleashed a punch.

The fist intent and runes erupted with intense light, transforming into a true roar that pounced on the enemy.

"boom!"

The divine fist was like a prison, and a huge star exploded. Then Qi Shi'an rushed forward, his right arm wrapped in blood-black runes, like the claw of a true dragon, tearing the sky and splitting the earth.

With a single swipe of its claw, the surrounding space was distorted, and all the spinning stars were torn apart, collapsing and scattering as stardust.

Everyone was shocked. What a powerful technique this was! It destroyed a powerful artifact in one fell swoop. At the same time, various runes fell, as dense as raindrops, yet dazzlingly bright, like divine incantations manifesting in bone script in the void.

With a "whoosh," Qi Shi'an moved as swiftly as lightning, leaving only an afterimage, and was not hit.

"The True Roar Treasure Technique, the Suanni Treasure Technique, and that unknown treasure technique, plus that blood-black divine light, he—"

He's such a fierce kid!

"What?! He wasn't in disguise, but in his real form!"

"He actually managed to walk out of Starfall Mountain alive?!"

The place immediately erupted in excitement, with many people coming from far and wide just to see this young man who had once wreaked havoc in the Realm of the Void Gods. Now, they were finally able to witness his true form.

"Starfall Mountain is known as a forbidden land, and countless people have entered it throughout history, yet none have survived. I never imagined he would be unharmed!"

"He must have obtained a divine artifact to be able to walk out alive. Perhaps that unknown magical technique he just encountered was obtained from the forbidden area."

The crowd began to discuss it animatedly, and the place suddenly became noisy.

This result undoubtedly shocked the world. At this moment, someone finally managed to walk out of that universally recognized forbidden land.

And they had no idea what rare treasure this fierce child had obtained.

"Quickly, spread the news! The wicked child has emerged from Starfall Mountain and reappeared in the Realm of the Void Gods!"

"Quickly inform the clan leader that a major event is about to occur here, and ask him to make a swift decision."

"I must inform the young master. He loves to join in the fun, and if we miss such an important event, he will definitely blame us."

In an instant, the news spread like wildfire, reaching not only various parts of the Void God Realm but also major sects and ancient kingdoms in the real world.

The number of people entering the Realm of the Gods surged, and soon it became overcrowded, with many heading towards the initial place.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao, who was in Shi Village, finally emerged from his seclusion.

"I feel so powerful."

Shi Hao felt the power within his body, and his physical body shone with a precious radiance like crystal, exuding an extremely powerful aura.

Since that battle, he returned to Stone Village and has been cultivating until he broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"I wonder how Xiao An is doing," Shi Hao said with some worry.

Seeing Shi Hao walk out, Qingfeng hurried over: "Little brother, I just heard in the Void God Realm that something big happened in the Primordial Land, and it seems to be related to Little Brother Qi."

"What?! Xiao An went to the Void God Realm again! Damn it, how could I be left out of this kind of thing?!"

Filled with righteous indignation and burning with passion, Shi Hao immediately went to find Liu Shen.

Willow God did not object; He had always hoped that Shi Hao could hone his skills there and forge his own path to greatness as soon as possible.

Now that He has learned that Shi Hao has surpassed the sages of the past and present in the Cave Heaven Realm, He is naturally extremely gratified.

The Willow God is now much stronger than before. A dozen green willow branches suddenly grew rapidly and then pierced through the sky. Runes covered the branches, and a gate of light appeared, sending Shi Hao into the Void God Realm.

Upon arriving at the starting point, Shi Hao saw in the distance that the sky was filled with rosy clouds, runes, and an aura as turbulent as waves.

A crowd of onlookers surrounded him, seemingly watching the spectacle. He immediately stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd.

"Xiao An!"

Shi Hao glanced at the boy on the battlefield, a look of joy flashing in his eyes, and then rushed towards the battlefield.

"Um?"

Qi Shi'an sensed someone approaching and, thinking it was an enemy, turned around and threw a punch.

Shi Hao reacted quickly, exchanging punches to test his good brother's current training progress.

The two small fists collided, unleashing an astonishing shockwave that swept across the entire battlefield, cracking the earth and causing the surrounding mountains to shake violently.

"Little one?!"

When the dust settled, Qi Shi'an finally saw who it was and was overjoyed.
