The divine halo hung in the sky, dazzling and magnificent, enveloping the little one. When it was gentle, it resembled a divine moon, with a lone figure standing amidst it, bathed in a serene and sacred light. At its most intense, the divine halo was like a blazing sun, and the central figure was awe-inspiring.
This sight stunned everyone. The little one had somehow created such a path—ten great realms connected and merged into a divine halo, which was truly a marvel.
Er Tzu was directly dumbfounded, murmuring, “This isn’t just frightening the ancient powers; even the great beings of antiquity would be startled.”
Even the Willow Deity was surprised. Several willow branches, green and shimmering, swayed with the wind, with rays of light scattered and spreading, making the place seem like a divine sanctum.
As for the people of Stone Village, they were already stunned. This was truly overwhelming; the little one at this moment resembled a celestial being, covered by a blazing divine halo with a tremendous aura.
They had never seen such a scene before and had never heard of it. This was the little one's own path, his own way, evolved to this point. Anyone who saw it would be astonished.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the divine halo disintegrated, and the ten great realms dispersed, starting to swirl and dance around the little one, floating and sinking.
“What’s happening? Did he fail?”
Everyone was startled. Failure was one thing, but if the little one were injured, it would be a devastating outcome, which would be terrifying.
“No, he’s still fine,” the Red Bird called out.
The little rascal stood in the center, seemingly confused, as he felt a ball of light expanding within him, which was quite astonishing and beyond his expectation.
With a “hum,” he once again merged the ten great realms, connecting them into a brilliant divine halo that enveloped him, resembling a youthful deity.
His black hair spread out, his eyes clear, his body gleaming, and with such a blazing divine halo, anyone would tremble, believing it to be a deity descending to the mortal realm.
“This appearance is almost divine. Moreover, the radiance of a deity isn’t formed by connecting great realms. If the realms were at the same level, this fierce child surpasses them,” Er Tzu sighed.
“How strange,” the little one sensed carefully. After the ten great realms connected, the divine essence flowed toward him, nourishing his body and supreme bone, providing warmth. The ball of light also grew stronger.
Streams and threads of essence surged into his body, making him shine. The supreme bone in his chest, having absorbed part of the violent power, had calmed down and was now dormant. However, the light still emanated from his flesh.
Finally, the ten great realms rumbled. They vibrated and roared, and the divine halo dazzled, with light flowing like water, cleansing and nourishing the little one’s true form.
“What is this?”
At this moment, everyone saw something different. The light emanating from the little one was extraordinary and exceptionally dazzling.
In the end, the light within him formed a central ball of light, extremely brilliant.
“Ten realms nourishing, auspiciousness concentrating into one point—this body has become like a realm.”
The Red Bird was astonished. It felt peculiar, as if the little one had transformed into a realm, exceptionally radiant, with divine essence continuously flowing.
The little rascal was still puzzled, not understanding this sensation. The power within his body was inexhaustible, quite strange.
“This should be due to the divine halo’s nourishment, forming a body like a realm. Is this real?” Er Tzu said in disbelief.
The little one stood in the center, gradually understanding that this was not a realm but resembled one. The essence was flowing due to the nourishment from the ten great realms.
However, his current prowess did indeed have the subtlety of a realm, intricate and mysterious.
Is this a realm? How should it be defined? Even the Willow Deity was at a loss for words but admired it greatly.
“This is the resonance of the ten great realms, working together to nourish it.”
The ball of light within the little one grew even more intense, like a sun. The ten realms connected and released divine essence, forming this central light.
The light rain was hazy, peaceful, and serene. The place was sacred, resembling a divine land.
“How do you plan to use it?” From a distance, Er Tzu asked with a fiery and curious gaze.
“What else is there to say? The ten great realms must each nourish a treasure technique. In the future, I must seek the ultimate divine power. As for this light within me, it will naturally command the ten realms because it will nourish my unique treasure technique,” the little rascal said boldly.
The Red Bird and Er Tzu were shocked, realizing how astonishing this child was.
The old patriarch knew that the child was not joking. With the supreme bone within him, if he were to be reborn, he would surely manifest a unique divine power.
Moreover, after the nirvana, this unique treasure technique would be even more extraordinary, transforming completely. The divine might was unimaginable.
“Hmm, ten great realms, one realm for each treasure technique. Now that a light ball has appeared within me, even my own treasure technique has a place to be nourished.”
The little rascal was very pleased and happy, with his big eyes turned into crescent shapes.
This time, he had blazed a unique path. Not only were the villagers astonished, but even old birds like Er Tzu were stunned. Even the Willow Deity was deeply moved, lost in thought.
Indeed, even the Willow Deity was captivated, carefully pondering and analyzing. With a sigh, it said to the little rascal, “Well done.”
Recently, it often praised the little rascal, genuinely. The child had great talent in cultivation, far surpassing the so-called geniuses of the past, always bringing surprises.
The little rascal continued to release the divine halo and then separated it, moving it as if it were a part of his body, with no obstacles. His entire being glowed with divine light, astonishing everyone.
“This realm nourishes the Kunpeng, this one temporarily nourishes the Suanni, and this one…” He counted each one, immensely happy, with a pure smile.
It left people speechless. Just moments ago, he had appeared as a deity, and now he was so cheerful.
In battle, his divine might was imposing, but when calm, he was like a neighbor’s boy, giving a feeling of warmth. The little rascal was true to himself and genuine.
“Alright, your baptism is over,” said the Willow Deity.
The mist dissipated, the several green branches withdrew, and the rays of light receded. The place returned to normal, no longer shrouded in the mist of essence.
“Is it successful?” The little rascal scratched his head. Though the process had been perilous, with his body nearly splitting and almost perishing, he had managed to pull through.
The little rascal felt a bit dazed. Upon reflection, it was indeed full of twists and turns and surprises. In the end, he smiled happily, looking somewhat silly.
The villagers recovered from their shock and a group of children rushed forward. Filled with joy and excitement, they all shouted and pounced, pinning the little rascal to the ground.
“You’re squashing me!”
“Pfft, now a mountain wouldn’t squash you.”
“Yeah. Grandpa said that if we don’t suppress you now, we’ll regret it later. We think so too. If you become a deity in the future, when we’re old and recounting past events to our grandchildren, we’ll have a story about even having bullied a deity. Isn’t that the most impressive and boast-worthy thing?”
“Haha, suppression!”
The group of children pounced on him, wrestling and rolling around, just like when they were young. These friends had always been so close, with deep feelings.
The sincere love and friendship would forever be etched in the little one’s heart. No matter how many years passed, whether through the changes of the seas or the ups and downs of life, he would never forget.
After the playful antics, the little one got up, his clothes wrinkled and dirty.
“Child, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to marry a big girl,” Shi Feijiao said with a smile, patting his head.
Shi Linhu immediately stepped forward, grabbing the little one’s hand and asking, “What do you think of my daughter Hu Niu? Is she fat enough?”
“What? I didn’t hear anything,” the little one said, shaking off his hand and fleeing.
“Haha!” Everyone burst into laughter.
Only the little one, hiding in the distance, had a dark expression on his face and ignored them.
The adults continued their discussion with great joy, thinking that what had been said before might actually come true. With the little one’s extraordinary talents, they wondered if he might really capture a young ancient beast and take care of it at the village.
“Child, don’t be shy. We’re not asking you to marry a girl from the village. If you have someone you like outside, bring back a big girl. We’re all looking forward to celebrating your wedding,” said Er Meng’s father.
The little one, still at a distance, dared not respond.
“Yes, are there any big girls outside? Hurry up and bring one back. We’re all eagerly waiting,” someone else added.
“Don’t you see Da Zhuang? He already has children. When will you have descendants? We’ll be completely reassured then.”
The group of older men laughed heartily and chatted about everything.
In the distance, Er Meng, Pi Hou, and the others also exchanged glances.
Only the little one kept quiet and ran off in embarrassment.
“Haha!” Everyone laughed.
“You can go to the Virtual Divine Realm now. Perhaps you’ll get a reward,” the Willow Deity said at that moment.
“What?” The little rascal quickly turned around, dashed to the village head, and looked up at the Willow Deity. “Will I get a reward? Is it related to what the Virtual Divine Realm owes me when I broke through the ten realms?”
He had always been preoccupied with this and had frequently complained to the Willow Deity about the debt owed by the Virtual Divine Realm, but the Willow Deity had never responded.
“Endless ages have passed, and the rules and order of the Virtual Divine Realm are no longer what they once were. If someone intervenes, some changes might occur,” said the Willow Deity.
The little one’s eyes widened in surprise. “Willow Deity, could it be you?”
He was very skeptical, wondering if the Willow Deity had interfered.
“It’s not me. It’s a problem with the rules and order,” the Willow Deity shook its head and said. “The Virtual Divine Realm is sentient, created by the gods, and there might still be remnants of that.”
“Then, will there be any danger if I go?” the little rascal asked in surprise.
“No, it’s just an occasional accident,” the Willow Deity did not elaborate.
“In that case, I’m going now!” The little rascal did a somersault, shouting with excitement and joy.
With a “boom,” the willow branch pierced the sky, opening a mysterious portal with thunder and lightning, and symbols scattered across the heavens.
“My reward, I’m coming!”
Three months later, the little rascal reappeared in the Virtual Divine Realm, naturally causing a huge sensation. Many people were in awe and curious. As soon as he arrived, there was a sea of people.
The most eager and anxious were the beings of the Ancient Divine Mountain. They had been waiting for the little one. He had been away for three months, and they eagerly hoped he would soon enter
