"Let's go."

"Let's go and meet these so-called prodigies of the Great Wilderness."

Chapter 72 Shi Yilin (Please Subscribe)

At this moment, the area in front of the Butian Pavilion was bustling with activity. Everywhere you looked, there were crowds of people, and each of them was a young man eager to begin the trial.

Elder Xiong Fei leaned against a large blue stone, holding a wine gourd in his hand. Looking at the energetic faces, he couldn't help but smile.

"Good seedling, this one is also a good seedling. Although he can't compare to that little monster, he can still be considered a prodigy."

Shi Hao and Shi Qingfeng stood in a corner, feeling the awe-inspiring presence of the cultivators around them, their eyes darting around incessantly.

Seeing so many top experts at once is a rare and grand occasion, and I was naturally very excited.

"Another person has gotten in using the talisman!"

"With so many geniuses, what's wrong with one more of my little brat? Heaven is really unfair!"

A burly man with a thick back and a brown silk ribbon wrapped around his hands looked in a certain direction, his eyes full of envy.

Beside him, a little boy with a black ribbon wrapped around his hand also gazed longingly in that direction.

"This is already the thirteenth child! In the past few days, more than a dozen people have entered using the talisman!"

Shi Hao was also drawn in by their words and looked in the direction they indicated. He saw a group of cultivators from the Butian Pavilion inspecting something at the mountain gate.

Seeing a girl take out a talisman and enter it, Shi Hao immediately thought of the talisman Xia Youyu had given him before.

"Little brother..."

Seeing how precious the talisman given by Shi Hao was, Shi Qingfeng couldn't help but want to return it.

Before he could even speak, Shi Hao refused, saying solemnly to him:

"Just take it without worry. I can get in even without the talisman."

As soon as he finished speaking, a well-dressed cultivator standing next to the burly man also spoke up:

"Hey, that's not all. See those palaces over there? They're all inhabited by important figures. The children they send can enter the Pure Land without any talismans!"

Looking in the direction he pointed, one could see magnificent palaces atop those beautiful peaks, where distinguished guests resided. Before the palace gates, fierce and awe-inspiring mythical beasts lay prostrate.

Everyone couldn't help but feel awe. The place housed descendants of the human emperor, cultivators from the Lesser Western Paradise, offspring of ancient species, and even visitors from other realms—truly a place of extraordinary prestige.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of those around him, the man who had spoken continued with a smug look on his face:

"Of course, although they are of high status, the ones who are the most important this time and who are the ones who are the most captivating to everyone are those few geniuses."

"Little devil, brat, Shi Yi, and that Li Dao who is rumored to have used the Blood Reversal Inscription!"

Shi Hao had been listening with great interest, but when the gossip got to him, his face couldn't help but turn red.

Seeing the young man beside him blush, Shi Qingfeng chuckled softly, finding Shi Hao incredibly adorable.

However, Shi Hao's expression changed immediately upon hearing the name 'Li Dao,' and he couldn't help but say:

"Who is this Li Dao?"

The man, who was speaking eloquently, showed no impatience when he saw that it was a child asking the question, and simply said:

"Few people know about this; I only learned about it from my uncle."

"I heard that Li Dao fought to the death of a rune cultivator at Luofeng Slope. You all saw the valley that was razed to the ground when you came here, right?"

"It was caused by the battle, but Li Dao heard that he paid a considerable price, but he doesn't know if that's true."

Shi Hao's expression hardened; he had seen those dilapidated mountains before.

The earth was shattered, scars of swords and spears were everywhere, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

They initially thought it was caused by some ferocious beast, but it turned out that Li Dao and his group had been attacked.

Upon further questioning, he became even more certain that the person was Li Dao, whom he knew well.

Although he differed from the Li Dao he knew, in the capital of the Stone Kingdom, among all the geniuses and prodigies, aside from Shi Yi, there was only him.

While happy that the other person had escaped danger, I couldn't help but worry about their current condition.

"Hey bro? What's wrong?"

Seeing his constantly changing expression, Shi Qingfeng asked with some concern.

"It's alright, you can go ahead first. With the talisman, you can directly enter the Genius Camp. We'll meet in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

Shi Qingfeng did not refuse again, nodded, and headed straight for the mountain gate.

"Wow, yet another prodigy with a talisman!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the talismans issued by the Heaven-Mending Pavilion are extremely precious. So soon someone has taken them over. How many geniuses have they gathered?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's another prodigy from some ancient kingdom or great tribe."

The talisman in Shi Qingfeng's hand also caused quite a stir, with many people looking on with envy. If it weren't for the awkward location, someone would have already tried to snatch it.

However, the commotion had not yet subsided when a terrifying roar once again drew everyone's attention.

-

A piercing, earth-shattering cry echoed between heaven and earth.

Accompanied by a thunderous booming sound of wings, a giant bird that blotted out the sky and soared high descended upon the crowd like a dark cloud.

That terrifying aura was extremely fierce, causing people to tremble with fear. Many people were almost crushed to the ground by its power.

"That's an ancient remnant! Who is this person? How could they be so extravagant as to offer an ancient remnant as an offspring?!"

"In many families, ancient descendants are cultivated as the family's top combat force!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the giant bird and saw several old men and a few teenagers standing on its broad, mountain-like back.

"That's King Wu's mount! I know who's coming!"

"Who?"

"Who else but Shi Yi could have such a grand display, someone who could have the King of Wu's mount delivered here!"

When Shi Yi's name was mentioned, everyone looked at the group on the giant bird with a hint of awe in their eyes.

Many cultivators even revealed fanatical gazes, as if they had seen a god-king sitting high in the nine heavens come to their side.

"Let it pass!" The old man sitting cross-legged in front of the mountain gate saw the bird rushing towards him and spoke calmly, letting it fly in without anyone stopping it.

Even the important figures at the imperial palace turned their attention to Shi Yi upon his arrival.

"It really is you. What a small world!"

Shi Hao looked at the man standing on the back of the giant bird, whose body was covered with faint Dao patterns and who was very mysterious. His hands clenched involuntarily, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"What a magnificent sight!"

Li Dao and Xia Youyu stood on the back of a blue sparrow and saw Shi Yi's arrival from afar.

"Hey, junior brother, if you also want this kind of grandeur, it's not impossible."

Xia Youyu teased from the side, her tone full of mockery.

"Let's forget about it then. There are quite a few eyes on me right now, so it's best to keep a low profile on this matter."

Li Dao used the illusion technique to transform into a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, standing beside her, looking like a perfect couple.

Hearing Xia Youyu's words, Li Dao simply waved his hand, not taking them to heart. Instead, he focused his divine sense on the crowd, hoping to find Shi Hao.

However, Li Dao scanned the area with his divine sense but did not detect Shi Hao's aura, so he withdrew his divine sense.

The arrival of Xia Youyu and her companion also attracted a lot of attention.

In the Great Wilderness, Xia Youyu, as the senior sister of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, was quite a celebrity. Her arrival naturally caused a stir.

"That must be Fairy Xia! She is truly beautiful and captivating!"

"Who's that kid next to him? Just by looking at his demeanor, you can tell he's no ordinary person!"

"It was a great honor to meet Fairy Xia today, so the trip was worthwhile. It would be even better if I could meet the Goddess of War from Zhulu Academy as well!"

Speak of the devil, and he appears! With a loud 'boom,' a strange beast covered in blue feathers appeared, accompanied by a female war goddess covered in golden armor, looking valiant and heroic.

“Daizhulu Academy comes to offer congratulations.”

"I'm not late, am I?"

The hearty voice immediately caught Li Dao's attention.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Xia Youyu smiled and went to greet them with an elder.

"Since you've come, why bring so much stuff? It's a bit too much of a formality."

The female war goddess waved her hand, and though she was a woman, she spoke with a forthright manner:

"It's alright, I came here to offer my congratulations."

"It's just a small token of my appreciation, no need to worry about it."

Xia Youyu noticed that although the other person was talking to her, their gaze kept drifting downwards, so she knew what their purpose was.

He knew his friend, who was both a rival and a friend, quite well, and knew that the other party was searching for the little devil and the brat.

However, she didn't point it out, though she secretly wanted to laugh.

The little devil is right beside him. As for the brat, Elder Xiong Fei and so many warriors have checked and found no one. So there's no worry about him being found.

As for Li Dao, standing to the side, watching the two women chatting happily, a hint of approval appeared in his eyes.

They are all beautiful in their own way, and together they are a feast for the eyes.

While Li Dao and his group were still talking, the old man sitting cross-legged in front of the mountain gate suddenly opened his eyes and spoke loudly:

"What is the purpose of your visit to my Heaven-Mending Pavilion, fellow cultivators?

With each blink of his eyes, runes surged like the sea, the sound of crashing waves so loud it made one's eyes glaze over and ears ring.

Several figures appeared in the void, their approach aggressive and aimed directly at the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.
