The little troublemaker arrived, and everyone at the entrance of the Warlord’s Mansion felt uneasy. Although he was young, he was a calamity who had stirred the entire Void Divine Realm.
“What do you want?” they asked, feeling like they were facing a formidable enemy. Someone quickly went inside to deliver the news. With such an unstoppable troublemaker appearing, no one could remain calm.
In the real world, they might not fear him, but this was the Void Divine Realm. Whenever the troublemaker showed up, he was unstoppable, capable of overwhelming ancient sects and eliminating the Rain Tribe and the Tuoba Tribe one after another. It was enough to make anyone nervous.
“I’ve come here to visit. Are you all planning to besiege me, with your weapons drawn and arrows nocked?” the young troublemaker asked.
A group of people stepped back, but they did not dare lower their weapons. Their bows were drawn to their full extent, their tension palpable.
This was a kind of imposing force. Although the troublemaker was young, wherever he went, he caused great fear and made people hesitant to relax.
“Step back,” an elder appeared and said loudly, then approached them, saying, “Young friend, your visit honors us. Please, come in.”
This was an elder of the Warlord’s Mansion. After receiving the news, he had rushed over immediately, not daring to act arrogantly as a member of the royal family, but with a serious expression. The reputation of this ruthless child was too famous, and they feared he might have come to cause havoc here.
“Elder, you’re too polite,” the young troublemaker replied respectfully.
Inside the mansion gates, the scenery was like a pure land of crystal. Everywhere there were orchids and lilies, and the air was filled with their fragrance. Various exotic birds and beasts roamed, and in the distance, mist-covered spiritual mountains emitted vital energy, making it a true cultivation paradise.
Not to mention the vast palace complexes, majestic and grand, situated on spiritual roots. They absorbed and emitted the radiance of the clouds, shrouded in a misty haze, resembling a divine court.
“It’s truly a great place. I wonder how many heroes of the Stone Tribe have come here to cultivate, and then ventured into the world,” the young troublemaker remarked.
A group of people were somewhat puzzled, not understanding his sudden mention of this.
“Alas,” the young troublemaker sighed lightly and followed these people deeper into the pure land. They passed by one grand palace after another but did not enter any, just wandering around outside.
Along the way, there were pavilions, palaces, small bridges over flowing streams, various low stone mountains, and spiritual springs gushing forth. The scenery was stunning, exuding vital energy and brilliance.
“I heard that the Warlord’s Mansion and the Rain Tribe are related by marriage,” the young troublemaker inquired.
These words caused everyone to bristle with alarm. Many were anxious. Their relationship with the Rain Tribe was close. Not long ago, a contingent from the Rain Tribe had come to offer support, only to be intercepted by elders of their own tribe on the way back. If investigated thoroughly, this could indeed be a disaster.
“There is some relationship,” the accompanying elder responded, his heart pounding. Could this calamity really be here to eradicate them?
Surprisingly, the calamity did not show any hostility but merely acknowledged the fact with an “Oh.” This made them even more anxious, unsure of his intentions.
The young troublemaker did not go to those palaces but instead visited the cultivation areas, guessing that these places might have once had his father’s presence. He walked through them one by one and finally sighed.
After arriving here, his mood was very complicated. When he was angry, he wanted to completely sweep everything away, but after calming down, he lost that desire because he had not seen the group of people from back then.
In the past, during the battle at the Stone Mansion, many elders and seniors had taken action, but now they were nowhere to be seen.
If those people were here, he wouldn’t mind suppressing them to avenge his parents, but now, with these unrelated people appearing so tense, he lost interest.
It was evident that these people were extremely nervous.
“By the way, I also have some relation with you,” the young troublemaker suddenly said.
“What relation?” the elder beside him asked with a serious expression.
“Shi Yi is from your mansion, right?” the young troublemaker asked.
“That’s right. Yi’er is a dragon among men and was indeed born in the Warlord’s Mansion,” an elder beside him could not help but speak up, his pride evident in his tone.
However, he quickly realized that this was a calamity. It seemed he was also a dragon among men, and his recent performance was extraordinarily impressive.
Praising Shi Yi in this manner might not please this young man. He grew tense, closing his mouth and refusing to speak further.
“How many heavens did Shi Yi open?” the young troublemaker asked.
“I don’t know,” an elder from the Warlord’s Mansion responded. This was the truth; Shi Yi had always kept his cultivation private, and even the elders in the mansion did not know how far he had advanced.
“Could it be that he hasn’t even opened nine heavens?” the young troublemaker said.
The young people in the Warlord’s Mansion were highly sensitive to such matters, all around twelve or thirteen years old. Some were dissatisfied and said, “Even the Warlord was disturbed and came out of seclusion, and we invited the most powerful experts to protect Yi Brother.”
“Shut up,” an elder scolded.
They did not know the details, only that the reclusive Warlord had been disturbed and how the protection was arranged was unknown.
The young troublemaker nodded and said, “Speaking of which, he is still my senior brother. After all, we both joined the补天阁 (Supplement Heaven Pavilion), so there is a bond.”
Everyone was stunned, not knowing how to respond.
“It’s just that he received training from the Supplement Heaven Pavilion, gained great fortune, and entered the Ancient Sacred Academy but did not participate in the final battle. That’s somewhat unacceptable,” the young troublemaker continued.
“When the Ancient Sacred Academy opens is unknown to anyone. This cannot be blamed on Yi’er for not participating in the battle; he might not even know what is happening outside,” an elder defended.
“Really not known? Other great sects have heard about it. They sent their children to the Supplement Heaven Pavilion to gain great opportunities and bathe in divine rain. This time, your harvest is the greatest. The Ancient Sacred Academy is not an ordinary place,” the young troublemaker said.
“We don’t know about this. It was all arranged by Shi Li’s Sect Master,” the people of the Warlord’s Mansion were reluctant to mention.
The young troublemaker was not unfamiliar with Shi Li. Among those who besieged his father back then, Shi Li was a key figure and was very protective of Shi Yi and his mother. He was ranked ninth among the sect masters and held significant power.
“Uninteresting,” he said, walking forward. “When will my senior brother return? I’d like to spar with him.”
With these words, everyone at the Warlord’s Mansion changed color. Who did not know that he had opened the tenth heaven and was known as the Supreme Youth, with strength capable of overwhelming any region.
Shi Yi was also exceptionally talented. Most importantly, he had many trump cards, and outsiders did not know how powerful he truly was.
The people of the Stone Mansion still had great confidence in Shi Yi. He had the qualities of an ancient sage and a divine being. With his twin pupils opening the heavens, who could rival him? This innate divine power combined with the mysterious Supreme Bone made him invincible.
In fact, the young troublemaker had never underestimated Shi Yi. Even now, with the opening of the tenth heaven, he remained serious because he knew this young man was truly formidable in cultivation.
Most importantly, in the Ancient Sacred Academy, if his guess was correct, there were likely records of补天术 (Supplement Heaven Technique).
What is the Supplement Heaven Technique? It is said to be able to mend the heavens, how powerful is it? It is hard to imagine. People say that even if there are regrets in cultivation, this technique can remedy them, providing another chance.
Unknowingly, the young troublemaker arrived at the martial arts arena within the pure land. There were various tools and some strange stone tablets emitting treasure light.
“What is this?” he asked in surprise.
“This is our Warlord’s Mansion’s own record tablets,” someone replied.
Upon hearing this, the young troublemaker carefully examined the stone tablet, hoping to find any traces left by his father. However, despite searching extensively, he found records of many past masters, but none of Shi Ziling.
This should not have been the case, as each generation had its own records, and only that particular generation was missing.
In contrast, he discovered a record tablet of Shi Yi in the most prominent position, brilliantly radiant.
“What record did he set?” the young troublemaker inquired.
“The tablet has his handprint, which allows his peers to observe and learn from the techniques and principles he understood,” an elder explained.
“May I give it a try?” the young troublemaker asked with curiosity.
The others frowned. To be honest, they were reluctant, but since he had asked, they found it hard to refuse.
The stone tablet was made of a special material, a meteorite from beyond the heavens, imbued with a mysterious power. It was incredibly tough and ideal for bearing imprints.
The tablet was translucent and dazzling. It bore a handprint that was not very large but very clear, and as one approached, it seemed to emanate a powerful aura.
The young troublemaker remained calm. He placed his hand on the imprint, and in an instant, the most brilliant light erupted from the tablet, shaking the surroundings.
“Huh?”
The young troublemaker was startled. He felt a mysterious aura that made his chest burn, a mark created by the power of the Supreme Bone.
Realizing the result, his eyes grew cold.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the stone tablet shattered, breaking into pieces amid dust and smoke, with divine light surging and extremely startling.
“What happened?” Everyone was astonished. The stone tablet was special, reputed to be a divine stone, and hard to destroy. What could have caused this?
Moreover, it bore Shi Yi’s imprint. Even if the ancestors of the clan came in person and used their combined strength, it would be hard to shake it in this heaven realm.
But now, it had exploded all at once.
“You!” Everyone glared angrily.
“I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional,” the young troublemaker said truthfully. It was his chest bone that reacted, and a terrifying fluctuation had shattered the tablet.
The crowd was not sure what to say. Although they were dissatisfied, it was just a record tablet. Shi Yi could establish another record upon his return.
“Coming to our clan’s pure land and destroying Yi’er’s record tablet, do you think there is any misunderstanding?” Suddenly, someone growled like this.
At the same time, a radiant light enveloped the young troublemaker’s position, with various symbols interweaving like lightning, surrounding him. The place became too dazzling to look at directly.
The forbidden great array was activated, trapping the young troublemaker in the center.
Someone returned to the real world, bringing a group of powerful experts to seal off the area, and the newcomers immediately took action, activating the ancient great array in the pure land.
“Are you going to deal with me?” the young troublemaker asked calmly, standing in the center of the array, not moving an inch or even acknowledging the most powerful forbidden symbol directly in front of him.
“Stop, don’t misunderstand,” the elders who had accompanied the young troublemaker earlier hurriedly spoke up, loudly stopping the reinforcements.
“Invading our clan’s pure land and destroying Yi’er’s record tablet, what misunderstanding could there be?” an elder approached, his eyes shining like golden lanterns.
The young troublemaker immediately recognized him as Shi Li, the ninth-ranking sect master, who wielded immense power. He had once vigorously protected Shi Yi and his mother and led a siege against his father.
