He was currently too far from the battlefield where the Mountain Treasure was being fought. If he tried to get there on his own, it would be too late. Therefore, if he wanted to gain anything, he had to ask the Pavilion Master for help.

The spirit of the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion gazed at Shi Yi, his eyes thoughtful. He knew that this supreme genius with double pupils would not make such a statement out of thin air. Since he had said so, there must be a reason why he had to go.

He didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and agreed.

Then, the Pavilion Master's eyes gleamed as he scanned Shi Yi from head to toe, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"You are indeed extraordinary, not someone to be underestimated. Perhaps even this world cannot restrain your path." He saw the astonishing transformation that had taken place in Shi Yi and couldn't help but exclaim.

As soon as he finished speaking, without saying another word, he used his escape light to envelop Shi Yi's figure and instantly disappeared from the spot.

The powerful spiritual bodies of the arrayed kings and nobles personally escorted them, and the speed was unimaginable, as fast as lightning and as fast as the stars shifting.

In the blink of an eye, it swept across the endless land, crossing one great river after another.

During this time, in order to save time, the Pavilion Master's spirit body also took Shi Yi to sit in a long-distance teleportation array. Such large arrays are generally only available to those great clans and ancient lineages. Although they are open to the public, the resources consumed for each teleportation are astronomical.

The Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion was straightforward; with a wave of his hand, a large amount of resources evaporated.

Then, he led Shi Yi onto the teleportation array, and they left in a burst of intense light.

When their vision returned, they found themselves in a vast ancient kingdom established and ruled by humans.

It was Shi Yi's kinsman—Shi Guo.

As soon as he arrived, the Pavilion Master's spirit body hurriedly left with Shi Yi. As a Rank Array King, he could naturally avoid the tedious investigation process.

With his full speed ahead, the two quickly left the border of the Stone Kingdom and flew towards the vast wilderness.

"I have heard of the ancestral land of the Stone Kingdom. It is the place where the group of powerful people who first established the Stone Kingdom came from. In order to prevent any eventuality, the founders of the Stone Kingdom sealed the original ancestral land to prevent the Stone Kingdom from being destroyed in the future."

Over the years, many people have tried to find that mysterious ancestral land, but all their efforts have come to nothing.

Do you know the exact location? Without a specific location, finding a primordial ancestral land in this vast wilderness is like searching for a needle in a haystack. The Pavilion Master's spirit frowned, gazing at the boundless wilderness with great concern.

Shi Yi naturally didn't know the location of Shi Village, only that it was a small, isolated town.

Shicun is probably located near that town, about a hundred miles away.

However, Shi Yi didn't come to find Shi Village, nor was he interested in it. His only interest was in Shi Village's five pill formulas. But he couldn't hide himself from Liu Shen. Once Shi Yi's identity was exposed, the chances of obtaining the pill formulas would be zero.

His only goal on this trip was to obtain the mountain treasure; he sought nothing else.

"Sect Master, if I'm not mistaken, there is a town called Little Lonely Mountain Town in the distant Cangmang Mountains," Shi Yi said.

The Pavilion Master immediately understood and began searching throughout the Great Wilderness.

However, the result was surprising.

There once was indeed a town called "Xiaogushan Town," located on the outskirts of the Cangmang Mountains, with a population of about two thousand. It was protected by a spirit.

However, several months ago, when the Mountain Treasure was born, the Four Venerables fought a great battle. In order to prevent news of the Mountain Treasure from spreading, they ordered the ancient remnants to launch a beast tide, which ravaged the area around the Mountain Treasure, leaving blood flowing for tens of thousands of miles.

Xiaogushan Town was one of the places where the massacre took place, and now its original site is a ruin that no longer exists.

"According to others, a beast tide once occurred here, and Xiaogushan Town no longer exists," the Pavilion Master sighed.

Shi Yi was not surprised by this. When the battle for the mountain treasure broke out, Shi Hao looked to be about four years old, and considering the time spent digging out his bones, he was probably more than five years old.

Shi Yi was a little over three years older than him.

If nothing unexpected happens, Stone Village has now been moved and hidden by Willow God's magic.

The battle between the four Venerable Ones may still be ongoing, and has not yet ceased.

"To be honest, Pavilion Master, a treasure has been born here, and the four Venerables fought fiercely over it, slaughtering the land and causing blood to flow for tens of thousands of miles."

"The battle may not be over yet, and I want to get closer to their battlefield," Shi Yi said.

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master was slightly startled. The birth of a mountain treasure, the intervention of a Venerable, and blood flowing for tens of thousands of miles—these were all too astonishing news. How could Shi Yi, a child not even ten years old, know all this?

He didn't ask any more questions, but simply gave Shi Yi a few instructions, telling him to be careful and to be honest that if the spirit body got too close, it would be discovered, and once it got close enough, Shi Yi would have to rely on himself.

If the Venerables fight to the death, they will surely be both severely injured and exhausted. At this time, even kings and nobles in formation will be seen as a threat if they approach, but ants in the Cave Heaven Realm will not.

Shi Yi nodded and then thanked him.

The sect leader waved his hand, dispersed his divine sense, and used a secret technique to begin the search.

After a long while, his eyes lit up slightly as he sensed the traces left by the battle of the strongest beings.

Chapter 90 Sky Swallowing Bird

"There's an aura left behind from a battle between Venerables. It's terrifying. Judging from the timing, it must have happened not long ago," the Pavilion Master said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi's eyes lit up. As long as there was enough time, he had a great chance of intercepting the mountain treasure before the Devouring Sky Sparrow and obtaining this supreme inheritance.

"We beg the Pavilion Master to lend a hand."

He spoke earnestly.

"That's natural. However, the main players in this battle seem to be the several Beast Lords, who are not friendly to the human race. This can be seen from the tragic scene of blood flowing for tens of thousands of miles. Getting close to such terrifying creatures will often result in death without a burial place."

"I'm alright, I'm just a spirit body. Even if I perish, only my physical body will be injured. You're different." The sect leader emphasized the danger of approaching the battlefield again.

There was no way around it; the ancient remnants were too ruthless. Human settlements and large tribes within a radius of 100,000 li around the Cangmang Mountains were wiped out completely. Not only humans, but also birds and beasts disappeared without a trace. Such a terrifying scene made even the Pavilion Master of the Ancient Pure Realm feel suffocated.

"Rest assured, Master, I know what I'm doing." Shi Yi's gaze was firm, without the slightest wavering.

Both the Ancient Heavenly Skill and the Peerless Sword Technique were things he was determined to obtain. The greater the danger, the greater the reward. The path of cultivation was inherently defying the heavens, with the ultimate goal of "struggle".

He would risk his life for it, because many opportunities, once missed, can never come again.

"Alright, let's set off immediately." Seeing that he had made up his mind, the Pavilion Master said no more, and directly used his escape light to pick up Shi Yi and head in one direction.

Before long, they ventured deep into the area where the mountain treasure was born.

The great battle between the four Beast Lords took place there. They were Zhu Yan, Zhu Que, Qiong Qi, and Tun Tian Que.

In their struggle for the mountain treasure, the four creatures fought fiercely, plunging the world into darkness and obscuring the sun and moon. The battle raged for a long time before a victor emerged, and each departed severely wounded.

At this moment, the place where Shanbao was born has fallen into a deathly silence, leaving only a mess. Standing in the clouds and looking into the distance, there is scorching, steaming lava, as well as large areas of flattened mountains, huge footprints, and huge craters blasted out by massive iron rods, and so on.

It was clear that the battle was fierce, with both sides fighting to the death, and traces and auras of the Venerable Ones remained everywhere.

The pavilion master looked cautious and walked carefully through the ravaged land.

Suddenly, the hairs on his body stood on end. He looked ahead and saw a chaotic mountain range that had been shattered and broken. The mountain range was shrouded in a dark, thick mist that seemed impossible to dispel. Beneath the mist, it seemed as if some creature was panting heavily, each breath sounding like thunder.

"A living Beast Lord!"

The Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion stopped in his tracks, his gaze solemn, and refused to take another step forward.

He told Shi Yi that he could not go any further, or he would be discovered by the creatures in the dark fog.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the battle between the Venerables should have ended four or five months ago."

The marks here indicate when that battle took place.

"It's been over for five months?"

Shi Yi was slightly startled.

Although he had made some deductions before coming here and arrived at some good conclusions, these were not definitive results, but only vague outlines.

It's possible that he only found something related to the Venerable One on this trip, which is still quite an opportunity.

Therefore, Shi Yi was worried that the inheritance of the Supreme Hall might have been taken away.

"Yes, more or less. The creatures ahead are likely the victors. They've been recuperating for the past few months and haven't left," the Pavilion Master nodded, guessing.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Staying on the battlefield to recover from its injuries, breathing out dark mist, it must be one of the Qiongqi or the Devouring Sparrow.

The Fire Kingdom's spirit priest went to Stone Village to seek help from the Willow God. Zhu Yan Maoqiu was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and chose to seal himself off. Neither of them satisfied the characteristics of the scene ahead.

The most likely candidate is the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, since it was the one who picked up the mountain treasure.

Clearly, it was unwilling to accept defeat, so it stayed put to recover its injuries, hoping to find the mountain treasure again after it had recovered somewhat.

The fur ball that truly obtained the treasure of the mountain was proficient in the Seventy-Two Transformations technique. With both sides seriously injured, it evaded detection and went into hiding.

However, its injuries were too severe, and its adversaries determined that it could not go far, so it stayed behind and was unwilling to leave for a long time.

"It must be the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow," Shi Yi thought to himself.

"Pavilion Master, please stop here to avoid being noticed by that creature. I can proceed on my own," he said to the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

If the guess is true, and the creature under the mist is the Sky-Devouring Sparrow, then it means that the mountain treasure has not yet fallen into its hands. Otherwise, given the Sky-Devouring Sparrow's nature, it would have already gone far away. He must set off quickly to find Zhu Yan's self-sealed place. Several months have passed since that great battle, and there is not much time left.

"Alright, be careful on the road ahead. The Venerable One, who is recovering, may not care about a mere Cave Heaven Realm being, but do not get too close," the Pavilion Master's spirit instructed.

Then he added, “My time is running out. My spirit cannot leave my body for too long, but I will wait for you here for a while.”

Shi Yi nodded his thanks, then bid farewell to the spirit body and set off alone.

On the devastated land, scattered corpses and bloodstains, as well as traces of battle left by the Venerables, were everywhere.

After Shi Yi used a secret technique to conceal his aura and tore open the door to the forbidden realm, he made initial forays into the realms of destiny, time, and cause and effect, gaining many mysterious abilities and thus enhancing his concealment.

However, he was unsure whether he could hide it from the Venerable One's detection, since his own strength was too weak and he was still in the Cave Heaven Realm.

As he cautiously approached, he activated abilities related to the Path of Destiny, his eyes shining like stars, with symbols flowing like a vast ocean.

Relying on his abilities related to the Way of Destiny, he deduced a general direction, which, although vague and unclear, at least prevented him from running around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Ten days later, Shi Yi felt a surge of energy. His premonition was growing stronger, which meant that he was on the right track and was about to find his goal.

"almost."

Shi Yi whispered and continued on his way.

Just then, from the distant, chaotic, and shattered mountain range, mist surged, sand and stones flew, and terrifying fluctuations erupted.

A terrifying creature opened its eyes and emerged from the dim mist, its eyes a deep, emerald green, filled with a cold and murderous aura, devoid of any humanity.

It gently stretched its massive body, causing its dark feathers to tremble violently, and in an instant, black mist surged into the sky.

This is a terrifying demonic bird at the Venerable Realm, incredibly powerful, capable of swallowing the sun and moon and refining stars; it is none other than the Devouring Sky Sparrow, one of the Four Great Beast Venerables.

After the battle for the mountain treasure ended, it was seriously injured, but it was unwilling to leave. It stayed here to recuperate, figuring that Zhu Yan couldn't have gone far. It was just waiting to recover from its injuries before it went to search for Zhu Yan's whereabouts.

After months of recuperation, it recovered and its body was much stronger. For the Devouring Sky Sparrow, this was a necessary step. After all, the Zhu Yan would not willingly hand over the treasure it had obtained, and even if it found it, there would probably be a fierce battle.

Furthermore, the Fire Kingdom's sacrificial spirit doesn't seem to have left; it has fallen into some nearby space and might reappear at any time. Therefore, it must ensure that it has the ability to fight again.

"Monkey, your injuries are more severe than mine. How much recovery can you expect in just a few months? Heh, the mountain treasure is destined to be mine."

The only thing to be careful of is that Vermilion Bird, which disappeared after falling into the mysterious space, its fate unknown. "The Devouring Sparrow spoke, already prepared to leave the mountain.

From afar, Shi Yi witnessed this scene, and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Without a doubt, such a commotion in that mountain range must mean that the Sky-Devouring Sparrow has finished recuperating and is about to leave the mountain to search for more treasures.

"I need to speed things up," Shi Yi muttered to himself, activating his full speed to search the land.

Suddenly, he saw a huge basin, or more precisely, a lake that had dried up. It was once vast and full of blue water, but it was destroyed in the great war. The lake water seeped into the ground through many cracks, and slowly, the lake dried up.

However, several months are not enough to completely dry up what was once a large lake; there are still some puddles at the bottom, and most of the area is muddy.

Upon seeing this, Shi Yi's spirits lifted. If nothing unexpected happened, the critically injured and dying Zhu Yan was at the bottom of the lake, and Shan Bao had also been left nearby.

He dared not delay for a moment, and went straight to the edge of the basin, diving down.

The Sky-Devouring Sparrow is about to emerge; if this drags on any longer, they will die without a burial place and become food for this demonic bird.

Skimming through endless cracks and silt, Shi Yi swiftly approached the bottom of the great lake, where the water had not yet completely dried up, and fish and shrimp could be seen piled up inside.

Without saying a word, Shi Yi was about to plunge into the lake to search for the whereabouts of the mountain treasure.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, because he caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.

It was a cube-shaped bone, as white as jade, with a crystalline luster, lying quietly among a pile of fish bones, scattered on the bank of the last waterhole.

Zhu Yan was clever. Although it managed to snatch the mountain treasure, it was also severely injured and on the verge of death. It knew that its enemies would not give up easily, so it did not keep the mountain treasure in its arms.

If you keep it close to your chest, the enemy will find not only Shanbao, but also your unconscious self.

Given the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow's nature, it would surely swallow it whole.

Shi Yi turned his head, his gaze fixed on the snow-white cube of bone. Without hesitation, he rushed towards Shan Bao, reached out his large hand, and pulled Shan Bao into his grasp. Then, he left without looking back.

As he left, Shi Yi's eyes shone brightly as he used a secret technique to erase his own aura.

Before long, a terrifying aura erupted from the distant, chaotic mountain range, and the Sky-Devouring Sparrow was born. Instantly, dark clouds rolled in and spread across the land.
