Chapter 208: Without Worries

Chapter 208: Without Worries

"The primordial divine birds and ferocious beasts are born with powerful bodies, close to being divine from the start, with a broad path ahead. Humans, on the other hand, begin weakly and must gradually cultivate through immense hardships. Only one among countless beings can transcend and eventually become a deity."

Ancient ancestors whispered within some old families, stirred by a glimpse of the bronze divine book.

"The path of human cultivation starts off rugged and full of dangers. Only those with great willpower and extraordinary talent can venture through it to forge their own divine path and stand out among the masses, truly a rare selection."

The head of a prominent clan pondered and whispered.

"According to the sages of past generations, some people burn out and exhaust themselves too early. The path might be smooth at the start, but they may face a decline in the later stages."

The younger disciples gradually gained confidence upon hearing this.

"He is as terrifying as the ancient ferocious beasts. It's hard to say if he can continue advancing so fiercely. Human potential is ultimately limited; invincible in the Blood-Boiling Realm, but entering the Cave-Heaven Realm doesn’t guarantee continued brilliance. He may gradually decline."

In fact, not only the Rain Clan and the ancient Tuoba family, but also some who had no previous enmity with the child were drawn to attention.

They were all prominent figures with exceptional talents. Some looked cold and distant, gazing at the mountains as if wanting to pierce through the endless void to challenge the ferocious child.

"Entering the Cave-Heaven Realm will surely lead to a battle," they longed for a rival, hoping for a peak confrontation.

At the beginning, the little child was overjoyed. At that moment, he did not seem like a killing star at all. His long eyelashes fluttered, his big eyes blinked, and his smile was radiant, with his little tiger teeth sparkling.

"This is wonderful! I love treasure techniques the most. This is an unparalleled divine skill. Records, bronze divine book, mine, all mine," he shouted.

At this moment, he was pure and a bit ferocious, with eyes like black gems, finally smiling into a crescent shape. This left a group of people speechless.

"You little rascal, it seems you owe us something," Elder Jingbi said with a grim expression.

Lord Bird also approached, looking uneasy. Watching the mischievous child, he felt a rare impulse to snatch the divine book. The allure of the treasure was so great that even pure-blooded beings were tempted.

"When did I owe you anything?" The child retreated, a look of confusion on his face.

Elder Jingbi’s face darkened instantly. The bronze divine book was out of reach now. And those jars of precious blood of ancient species—were they also going to be lost? It seemed this child was adamant about denying it.

"Don’t you remember?" Lord Bird whispered.

"Oh, I remember now. The three of us worked together on this, so there’s a share for you," the little child said.

He happily took out several jars of precious blood and handed them forward. The radiant jade jars glowed, with the liquid inside shimmering and swirling with a misty light, very magnificent.

Everyone was astonished. This was the precious blood of ancient species, each jar worth a fortune, making the senior figures of various sects excited, as it could help them break through their realms and reach new heights.

"Did you hear that? The child said it was a joint effort of three people. Could it be that they conned all the sects together?" someone whispered.

"I think it’s possible. Look, that’s the precious blood of ancient species. Just one jar could spark a bloody battle. This ferocious child actually handed out several jars at once, ridiculously generous."

People whispered and looked at the three with strange expressions.

Elder Jingbi and Lord Bird were momentarily stunned. This mischievous child was truly unreasonable. Giving them precious blood in this situation was like sabotaging them.

Should they accept or not? If they did, it might solidify the ancient sects’ suspicion that they were colluding with the child to deceive them.

"Kid, you can mess with food, but not with words. Don’t frame us," the two old men glared fiercely, ready to confront him.

"Do you want it or not? Be clear," the child asked innocently.

"Little rascal, you’re ruthless," Elder Jingbi muttered under his breath.

"Of course, we want it," Lord Bird also secretly communicated, not daring to let others hear.

"If you want it, I’ll give it to you. If you don’t, don’t ask me for it later," the child said, holding the shining jars and urging them.

Everyone looked at the two old men, feeling this was extremely unreasonable.

"Fine, if you don’t want it, I’ll put it away. We’re even," the child said, stuffing the jars into his bag and turning to leave, feeling pleased.

"Kid, you’re framing us and trying to walk away? Not possible," the two old men immediately lunged at him, ready to take action.

"Tch, just say you want the precious blood and the bronze book directly. Are you afraid I won’t dare?" The child sneered.

"Whoosh"

A torrent of flames surged forth, like magma from the earth's core. The fire, like bright red liquid, directly engulfed the area ahead. It was Lord Bird attacking, fearsome beyond belief.

Everyone's expressions changed. This was definitely a top expert hiding his true strength, showcasing the utmost power of the Blood-Boiling Realm.

Even the child’s expression changed. This old man was extraordinarily strong, a level of power unseen before. This was the first time he encountered such strength.

"Boom"

Electricity burst from his palm, with a series of light orbs flying out, forming a pattern of ten stars piercing the sun. Ten purple stars collided with a blazing sun, emitting an unbearable light.

The world was engulfed in a vast expanse, with purple clouds boiling. It was pure thunder, released from the collision of ball-shaped lightning, a divine might astonishing to all.

The child used an extremely powerful treasure technique, fearing an accident. This attack made everyone around retreat, their souls trembling with fear, not daring to stay.

"This little brat is truly ruthless."

Lord Bird shouted. As the light faded, he was charred black, his clothes tattered, almost falling apart. His hair and beard were standing on end like a hedgehog, still crackling with electric sparks.

"Chirp chirp" On the other side, a bird screeched and fled at high speed, with the child in pursuit.

Seeing this, Lord Bird hurriedly shouted, "Stop, don’t hurt it."

The child’s speed was too fast. With a stomp on the rocky ground, it cracked, and he leaped higher than the mountains, catching the bird with astonishing speed.

This was a strange but powerful divine bird. Flames surrounded it, with five-colored lights dancing. Not long ago, it had roasted sect disciples to half-cooked with a dive, instilling terror. But now, it was being chased by the child, plucking feathers continuously, wailing, and shedding feathers everywhere.

"Serving you right for ambushing me. You almost burned my hair. I’ll strip you of your feathers and roast you to eat," the child yelled fiercely, his hair singed, showing how strong the bird was.

"Don’t pluck it. I won’t trouble you," Lord Bird begged urgently.

As for Elder Jingbi, seeing this, he settled down and did not take action. He knew Lord Bird’s strength and saw he couldn’t gain any advantage. He was left charred black, highlighting the child’s fearsome power.

In the end, the bird was half-plucked, fleeing back to Lord Bird’s shoulder, looking at the child with fear as if seeing a ghost. It no longer dared to act recklessly.

"I’ve decided. I still want the precious blood. What if the major sects come? I’m not afraid of them," Elder Jingbi said, transmitting to the child.

"No," the child hugged the bag tightly, like a ferocious little beast guarding its food. "You just said you didn’t want it."

"Who said we don't want it? Of course we do," Lord Bird said.

"You’re all so old and have such high cultivation. You surely don't need it," the child said sympathetically, trying to explain on their behalf.

"Stop talking nonsense and give it to us quickly, or we'll team up with those major sects and make trouble for you every day," Elder Jingbi threatened fiercely.

"Who’s afraid of whom? Bring it on," the child charged forward, unleashing the Kunpeng divine technique. A vast sea appeared behind him, and a huge fish leaped up, with runes filling the sky, pressing down on the old men.

"Boom"

Elder Jingbi staggered backward, flailing his arms, his technique quickly fading.

The little child was stern. Indeed, Elder Jingbi and Lord Bird were top experts; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to endure such an attack. These two were formidable.

If it were anyone else, they would have been instantly killed, and a group of people would be blasted away and shattered in the air, doomed to death.

"Here you go, seniors. This is your precious blood," the little child finally said with a smile, handing over several jars of precious blood.

"You little rascal, what are you trying to do?" The two men were cautious and somewhat distrustful.

"I always keep my word," the child said, putting an arm around them in a friendly manner.

The two old men had their hairs stand on end. This child was extremely dangerous, and now he was close to them, making them nervous.

The experts from major sects had all been blasted away by him. At such a close distance, if the child went wild, they would likely be very passive.

The child did not act out. Instead, he spoke to them softly, with warmth and familiarity.

"Is what you said true?" The two old men were tempted, unable to resist the allure.

"Of course," the child said, patting his chest.

"Good, then let us have a look at the bronze divine book later," Elder Jingbi said.

"Naturally," the child replied, taking out a piece of bronze but not directly handing it to them. He said that if they cooperated, they would be like family, and any future benefits would be shared with them.

"You rascal, the price we’ve paid is too high. Our reputation is tarnished because of you," Elder Jingbi said.

"Tch, you’ve done all sorts of bad deeds, deceit, and trickery. What reputation do you have left?" the child retorted.

"No, we need to fight for our interests. This is unacceptable," Lord Bird said.

"Not accepting it is not an option," the child insisted.

In the end, the three of them huddled together, discussing for most of the day, unaffected by the strange looks from others.

Finally, as the sun set and night fell, the child left, departing from the Void Divine Realm.

"Phew"

Under the large willow tree, the child opened his eyes. After stepping through the Order Gate, he directly appeared in the village, his spirit returning to his body much faster than the first time.

Clearly, the Willow God had become more powerful.

At this moment, the village was bathed in the glow of the setting sun, peaceful and serene. A group of elderly women were tidying up, cooking smoke curling up, the aroma of meat wafting through the air, and various berries emitting a fragrant scent.

On the horizon, a group of young men returned with their spoils, dragging a pile of game that cast a long shadow in the setting sun.

"Little rascal, you’re awake!"

Pikou, Snotty, Er-Meng, and Huzi, among others, rushed over, burying him in questions about the Void Divine Realm. They couldn’t wait to go in.

Even the Red Bird, Ziyun, Dapeng, and Er-Tuzi also came rushing over, clearly eager to enter the Void Divine Realm.

"Little rascal, look. This time we’ve brought back plenty of game. We won’t need to go out for many days. You must take us with you tomorrow."

Shilin Hu, Shifei Jiao, and other older men also gathered around, their eyes fiery with desire. Even the clan leader, Shiyunfeng, arrived, visibly excited.

The child was extremely happy. The harvest this time was immense, and he was grinning foolishly, barely hearing the questions from the crowd.

"Little brother, tell us, how is it? Can we all go?" Qingfeng asked, shaking his arm.

"Don’t worry. When the time comes, the whole village can go without any problem. But first, we need to reach the Blood-Boiling Realm. Otherwise, our spiritual sensing won’t be strong enough to enter that world," the child said.

"That’s great! Finally, we can see what the outside world is like. I’m so excited. I want to go in immediately."

"I can’t wait. I’m so excited. I want to rush into the Void Divine Realm and see what the outside world is like."

A group of youths cheered excitedly, tumbling around. They had grown up in the Great Wilderness and had never been to the vast outside world, eager to find out what it was like.

It was like birds confined in a cage finally getting a chance to soar into the sky. Their longing and excitement were understandable.

Not only were the children thrilled, but even Shilin Hu, Shifei Jiao, and others were itching to go, beating their chests and roaring, unable to wait any longer.

"Uncle, once you’re inside, don’t mess around. Don’t mistake other people’s battle pets for wild game from the Great Wilderness," the child reminded.

Shifei Jiao laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, do you think your uncle is a brute? Of course, I won’t be as ruthless as you. I heard from Qingfeng that you cleared an area in the Hundred Break Mountain, and those alien geniuses all avoided you."

"In fact, you all don’t need to worry. Once you’re there, it will be like being in the village. I’ve arranged for two guardians who will guide and protect you," the child said.

He had haggled with Elder Jingbi and Lord Bird about this matter. Having two top experts agree to look after the villagers was a significant gain for him, providing complete peace of mind.

"I’ve obtained some precious blood of ancient species. Once we enter the Void Divine Realm, everyone can undergo a baptism, as I have more than a dozen jars."

The child had acquired so much precious blood of ancient species that he wouldn’t use it himself since he had the true blood of the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow and Qiongqi, and the Willow God would perform the baptism for him.

He wanted to give Shilin Hu, Shifei Jiao, and others a great opportunity, as well as Dazhuang, Er-Meng, and the others, who lacked such a baptism.

That night, the villagers couldn’t sleep. Whether it was Dazhuang, Pikou, or the young men, after lying down, the snoring would usually shake the heavens, but that night, they were so excited they couldn’t sleep. They even walked out of their stone houses to gather together and wait for dawn.

They were so excited. Having never left the Great Wilderness or visited the ancient lands, they were eager to see the outside world.

Finally, as the sun rose, the golden light of dawn broke through the mist, casting its warm glow over the mountains and forests.

A group of people wolfed down breakfast, quickly gathered in front of the large willow tree at the village entrance. The children were excitedly shouting, and the adults paced nervously.

"Remember the methods I taught you? Focus on sensing. We’re about to enter the Void Divine Realm," the child said.

Everyone first performed a ritual to honor the Willow God, then sat down quickly, calming their minds to sense the Void Divine Realm.

At this moment, the green branches of the Willow God shot up into the sky, piercing through the heavens and opening a portal, with runes swirling and lightning flashing.

"Let’s go!"

Finally, everyone's spirits surged as they stepped onto unfamiliar land, appearing in the ruins.

"This isn’t the place; we need to keep moving forward," the child said, quickly ushering the group. The people began to search the ruins, acting as if they were on a treasure hunt, but he stopped them.

"Heavenly King, am I seeing this correctly? This isn’t a normal path; it’s a breach in chaos, entering through the ruins of the gods," Er-Tuzi mumbled, feeling deeply shocked.

Eventually, the child led the group into the golden passage, grand and majestic, arriving at the Primordial Land.

"Wow, it’s so amazing! We came out from a golden road, and it feels like we’ve penetrated through the void. Such a strange feeling," they exclaimed.

"This is so much fun. Can we go back and walk through it again? I haven’t experienced enough yet," they continued.

A large group of youths, including Snotty and Pikou, were filled with fresh curiosity. Everything seemed fascinating to them, and they were noisy, which gave the child a headache.

"Oh my god, there’s treasure! Get a hammer and knock it; this is a precious bone," younger children exclaimed, standing on a large blue stone, staring at the ancient precious bones, eager to start.

Many people in the Primordial Land were aware that the troublesome child had arrived again, and had come to see for themselves. By early morning, it was already crowded. Seeing the group of youths in such a state, everyone was stunned, feeling a strange familiarity.

"Why does it feel like a bunch of troublemakers have arrived? What are they up to?" someone murmured.

On the large blue stone, the child felt overwhelmed. The companions were jumping around, searching everywhere, and they were all curious and full of wonder about everything they saw.

"Wow, so many people. Hey, why is that old man’s eyes glowing green?"

"That beautiful woman has a disfigurement. There’s an eye on her forehead. How pitiful. Heaven has been too unfair to her."

The child was exasperated. The old man with glowing green eyes was definitely a powerful being in human form, and the woman with a vertical eye on her forehead was a member of the Three-Eyed Tribe.

"Those old men are too disrespectful. Even at their age, they still have two beautiful women serving them. It’s shameless," Snotty said.

Ahead, there were stone tables and chairs, with two young women serving tea and water to a group of old men, who were clearly important figures from major sects.

"They are led by the troublemaker. It’s quite similar to what we’ve seen before, but this time, it’s a whole group," people marveled.

"A carriage pulled by nine serpentine beasts looks magnificent and rare. It must be a valuable treasure," Pikou nudged the child and said, "Are those your enemies? Should we steal it?"

"Over there is a golden bird carrying a purple-haired beauty. That bird looks similar to the one we ate last time. Could it be another Golden Peng?"

The child was really at his limit. Seeing their excitement, he didn’t want to interrupt, so he led the group to find Elder Jingbi and Lord Bird.

"That old man’s bird looks delicious," someone commented.

"It’s too small to fill us up," another replied.

As soon as they met, the group of youths began discussing the bird on Lord Bird’s shoulder with great interest, speculating if it was an ancient species.

"You little rascal, stop right there! To just leave a bunch of wild people with us is irresponsible. Isn’t this going to exhaust us?" Elder Jingbi and Lord Bird roared from behind, realizing that these youths were wild and hard to manage.

However, the child quickly fled, moving so fast that he was soon out of sight.

Fortunately, Shilin Hu, Shifei Jiao, and others kept their composure, not acting like the children, and appeared rather naive.

"You guys are quite decent and obedient," Lord Bird said, nodding.

A group of adult men scratched their heads. Shilin Hu said quietly, "Old man, can you teach us a few techniques?"

"I heard you’re a supreme expert. Teach us some divine techniques, and when we become invincible in the world, you two masters will shine brightly," Shifei Jiao said with a sincere smile.

"Is this what you call obedient?" Elder Jingbi gave a sidelong glance.

"Let’s pretend I didn’t hear anything," Lord Bird sighed, then shouted into the distance, "You rascal, where are you running off to?"

The child had already activated the golden passage, preparing to leave the Primordial Land.

"I’m going to a higher realm to conquer a vast territory. Wait for me; I’ll send word in a day or two and bring you all over," the child transmitted.

With a flash of light, he disappeared from the golden passage.

The Primordial Land was in an uproar. Everyone knew that the troublemaker was about to launch a thunderous action, unsatisfied with yesterday’s results and ready to stir up an enormous storm.
