All Heavens: Starting as a Sacrifice

"Grandpa Hai, bring Big Black next time! Let it play with me for a while."

In the dilapidated village, a thin child sat on the steps, waving his hand vigorously, coughing as he spoke, his face pale.

"Okay, I'll definitely bring him next time so he can play with you," the old man said as he drove the animal-drawn cart away.

Then he let out a long sigh, and said with some reluctance, "What a tragedy! Such a young child, with no relatives or playmates, left to guard this old village that looks like a graveyard, alas!"

In the distance, Shi Hao stood in the woods, staring blankly at everything, muttering to himself.

"Is that another version of me? He's suffering here in my place."

Li Yi remained silent and sighed softly.

Shi Hao didn't really care much about the suffering he had endured.

However, they care deeply about the feelings of others and don't want others to suffer for them.

“It’s alright, I brought medicine you can give it to him. It can even heal a broken leg,” Li Yi said in a low voice.

He could sense the extraordinary nature of this manor, with its powerful energy fluctuations.

There must be strong individuals among them.

The thin child was surrounded by several servants, but it was clear they didn't care about his feelings; they remained unmoved even when he fell.

Shi Hao watched from the side. He understood that there were fewer and fewer people left in the village, and this little child alone was not enough to intimidate the servants.

Not to mention these servants, many of whom may have been secretly arranged.

Their goal is to solve their own problems.

Even if his supreme bone is taken away, there are still some people who won't let him die, and he can't sleep peacefully at night.

He might not be able to think about it clearly, but he could vaguely sense it.

It's also understandable that these people definitely want to kill him.

So even though he was furious, he didn't make a move; he just watched quietly.

The child, pale-faced, leaned against the wall and silently walked deeper into the manor.

Li Yi had already hidden the Azure Eagle to the side, and Shi Hao had also hidden the Unicorn; none of these things could be exposed.

Grabbing Shi Hao's shoulder, Li Yi's combat suit instantly changed shape, refracting countless rays of light.

In the blink of an eye, the mimicry mode was activated, and they became transparent.

Even if they walked past openly at this moment, many people would not notice their presence.

Of course, if you are strong enough, you can still detect the aura and fluctuations of the two people.

But these servants don't have that power yet.

They followed the child deeper into the manor.

The huge manor was very deserted; after the wind blew, only a few broken windows rattled.

The child was very lonely and slowly walked inside, with Shi Hao following closely beside him.

Soon they arrived at a fairly spacious courtyard. Pushing open a wooden door whose paint had peeled off, the child softly called out, "Great-Grandpa, Seventh Grandpa."

Inside the dilapidated old house, an elderly man who was still in relatively good health sat in a chair.

Beside the old man, on a tattered bed, lay an elderly man with white hair, a face as pale as paper, and a faint breath; his eyes were dim.

These two old men were probably quite powerful a long time ago.

It's even possible that they've already broken through the Cave Heaven Realm, or are even stronger.

However, time waits for no one; time is both terrible and merciless.

As we age, our vital energy and blood decline, and our inner energy (vital energy) dries up.

The spirituality of the physical body will gradually disappear, and the Dao patterns engraved on the body may also be worn away little by little.

Time is the most terrifying and ruthless thing; it will take everything away without leaving any room for mercy.

Not to mention that the lives of the world's strongest are not particularly long.

Even those at the Venerable level do not live beyond three hundred years.

At the same level, the lifespan of a world lord who has devoured the universe can reach ten million years.

The gap between heaven and earth, the scarcity of substances that promote longevity.

This results in two worlds with drastically different environments, and therefore, drastically different cultivation methods.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, if one cannot reach the King or Noble realm before the age of one hundred, it means that one will never have the chance to touch the Venerable in this lifetime.

"Child." The old man sitting in the chair saw the thin child and tried to get up.

But he was too old, and his strength was gradually fading away.

Even getting up was a bit of a struggle for him.

"Grandpa." Shi Qingfeng spoke and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbing the old man's arm.

Shi Hao watched him silently from the side, remembering these old men.

After his bones were removed, his body was extremely weak.

These elderly people somehow found ancient medicines and secret methods to prolong his life and help him survive the most dangerous period.

"Child," the old man lying on the bed said in a very low voice.

Shi Hao stood outside, his eyes already bloodshot. These people had helped him and saved his life.

"Great-grandfather, seventh-grandfather." He pushed open the door and walked in, wiping away tears as he looked at the two elderly people.

"Oh! You..." Shi Qingfeng was very surprised, looking at Shi Hao with great confusion in his small eyes.

"You are!" The old man in the chair was also shocked.

"Great-grandfather, do you mind that I am the child from back then? I've come to see you today." Shi Hao choked up.

Upon hearing this, the old man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, his previously dim pupils now gleaming with an intense light. "You... really are him."

The old man who had been sitting in the chair stood up shakily and put his hand on Shi Hao's shoulder.

"Your injury has healed?" the old man asked somewhat anxiously.

"Alright, I've made it through." He said with a smile, knowing what the old man wanted to hear most, and then spoke softly.

"Now I can swing my arm with the weight of 108,000 jin."

He answered truthfully, and sure enough, the old man's eyes widened in surprise, his lips trembled, and he grabbed his arm as if to confirm something.

Shi Hao also understood that when he exerted force with his arm, endless divine light would erupt, dazzling and brilliant.

At this moment, Li Yi took action to conceal all the strange phenomena in the room, preventing others from discovering the changes.

"Who are you?" the old man asked, looking at Li Yi.

“I come from my ancestral land,” Li Yi whispered.

These old people may not know the situation of their ancestral land, but in their eyes, the ancestral land must be even more powerful and prosperous than the present-day Shi Kingdom.

Because they also came from there, and after going through many hardships to get here, they gradually established the Stone Kingdom.

Therefore, he seemed very excited when people came to his ancestral home.

"Senior, please don't get excited. Please sit down," Li Yi said.

He could naturally tell that the two old men were nearing the end of their lives.

The elderly man sitting in the chair was in better condition, but the one lying in bed was in very poor condition.

Its breath was faint, like an oil lamp that had burned to its very end, but might go out at any moment.

Therefore, these two elderly people must not get agitated now, otherwise something might go wrong.

"These are pills I brought from our ancestral land. Take one to calm your emotions." Li Yi conjured two pills with a flick of his hand.

These munitions were obtained by him while devouring the universe, and they may not be particularly valuable in themselves.

However, the longevity substance it carries is incredibly valuable in this world.

The ability to extend human lifespan is enough to drive many powerful individuals mad.

Not to mention, it can also heal internal injuries. He could tell that in addition to their advanced age and declining blood and energy, the two elderly people had also suffered from serious internal injuries.

The injuries were extremely severe, which further caused them to lose vital energy and blood, leading to a continuous decline in their cultivation levels until they died.

He took out two pills and handed them to the two old men.

After pondering for a moment, the two old men glanced at Shi Hao and then swallowed the medicine without much hesitation.

They didn't have much life left; they were already at their limit, just living one day at a time.

Despite the current obstacles, after a moment's thought, they decided to accept the pills offered by the visitor.

On the other hand, they could vaguely sense that this should be the child from back then.

On the other hand, they didn't have much of a choice: either believe that Li Yi would recover from his injuries after swallowing the pill.

There are not many other options, except to wait for death.

Therefore, without much hesitation or thought, the two swallowed the pills and immediately felt an unimaginable power sweeping through their bodies.

The body's vitality seemed to be restored instantly, and the hidden injuries within the body were constantly being healed.

The lost strength is slowly returning, and my body feels like it's been given a second spring.

The flesh and blood are constantly growing stronger, winter is slowly receding, and the spirituality of the body is being awakened.

The originally dim Dao patterns now shone brightly.

Chapter 131 The Imperial Capital

Li Yi concealed the scene here with his own grotto-heaven, and the cultivation of the two old men was gradually recovering.

The fact that they are here indicates that they hold an extraordinary position within the Stone Clan.

He himself possessed considerable cultivation, but due to various reasons, his cultivation gradually declined.
