"Yoyo Taishang, Minzhi Juchu. Huangji Zhaojian, Yilun Youfu." The patriarch's words were low as he looked at the boundless wildlands, thinking about the long-past ancient times.
"Patriarch Grandpa, what does this mean? I don't understand." The little one was very eager to learn, his big black gem-like eyes blinking, with a longing light.
Shi Yunfeng stroked his head and said, "In the distant ancient times, it was the beginning of humanity. The Great Middle Way was first established, and the eternal principles were laid out."
The old patriarch explained slowly, solving the little one's doubts from the source, telling everything he knew, planting a seed of yearning in his heart. This was like "planting the path of Dao".
Shi Yunfeng wasn't very powerful himself, but because of his nature, he did this naturally, and he did it when Shi Hao was very young, which was truly like "planting the path of Dao".
"The order and truth are laid out in nature. All things have spirits. Some intelligent races favored by heaven are outstanding representatives. The true meaning of Dao is manifested in them."
"Patriarch Grandpa, are you talking about the original runes on the precious bones of the ancient remnants?" The little one's eyes were very smart.
"You are very smart." The patriarch smiled and praised him.
"The ancient ancestors noticed these long ago. In the fierce battles with the prehistoric beasts, they slowly explored some rules of heaven and earth. Through the remains of the most powerful creatures, they gradually understood some simple supernatural powers."
Runes developed precisely from this. The human race learned from other races, explored the way of the order of heaven and earth, and thus gradually flourished from weakness.
"Unfortunately, there are very few true supremes among the human race, while the ancient beasts are extremely powerful. As long as one appears, it can destroy several super-large human races with a raise of its hand."
Relatively speaking, the human race is still weak. Many races are high above, like gods!
In fact, the ancient ancestors had beliefs and often worshiped gods and spirits. In fact, they were worshiping some extremely powerful creature.
"Patriarch Grandpa, please tell me more in detail." The little one was full of longing and wanted to know more about the past and those powerful beasts like gods.
"What I know is also limited. Grandpa has only traveled eighty thousand miles. It sounds far, but in this domain, there are countless eighty thousand miles. Conservatively estimated, at least several million miles need to be traveled to reach the end."
Shi Yunfeng said softly. The place he had been to seemed vast, but compared to this large domain, it was just a small corner, not to mention the mysterious world beyond the end of the land. Other large domains were unimaginable.
"Learning ten thousand volumes of books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. One day, if you are strong enough, go and see the outside world yourself. Grandpa is old, without such opportunities or abilities." Shi Yunfeng sighed slightly.
"Grandpa, I know you have a hidden injury. In the future, I will surely pick the legendary precious medicine of heaven and earth, cure your body, and take you to see the outside world." The little one said.
Shi Yunfeng felt a bit bitter in his heart but was more relieved. The wrinkles on his face spread out, and he smiled, "As long as you grow up safely and everything goes well, Grandpa will have nothing to worry about."
He suffered from a strange hidden injury back then and needed a special precious medicine. But even large races with millions of people might not be able to produce it. Curing it was no easy task.
"Awooo, the patriarch grandpa is preaching again. Come and listen, everyone!" A group of children shouted. Now it's not like before. The children are no longer resistant but increasingly yearn for power. Every time Shi Yunfeng explains the runes, a group of children will come and listen carefully.
Now, several children have initially cultivated brilliant runes on their bodies. Undoubtedly, they can embark on this path in the future and are destined to be much stronger than their parents.
"You little rascals, sit down quickly." The patriarch scolded with a smile.
The gentle breeze blew, and on the charred and thick willow tree, a tender and crystal branch swayed with the wind. A group of children sat around an old man, listening to him preach under the tree.
"Mastering the runes is like you picking up a broad sword or a bow. But what if you put these weapons down? The fundamental of cultivation is still to make yourself strong."
Some children were confused, and some children seemed to understand.
"Runes are just a form and a means. You need to truly turn them into your own power. Otherwise, everything is rootless. Only by making yourself strong can it work."
"How to do it?"
"Turn the runes into a part of yourself, making your body and bones like those races favored by heaven, integrating with nature. Otherwise, what is imitated is still imitated and it's difficult to exert the true power."
The patriarch explained. According to him, runes are like the body and hair. Truly integrating with oneself and turning them into a part of the body is one's own power.
"Patriarch, teach us quickly."
"Don't worry, take it slowly." Shi Yunfeng said.
In fact, using runes will consume one's essence qi. Just like when the little one uses the precious technique, the consumption is huge. Continuous battles may hurt oneself and cause the blood qi to weaken.
Strictly speaking, when learning runes, it's okay if there is no achievement. But if there is an achievement and in a special stage, frequent use will cause serious harm to the body.
After hearing the detailed explanation from the patriarch, the children's faces turned pale.
"Don't be afraid. Just pay a little attention. As long as you don't fight to the death and continuously use the original precious technique, it's fine. You are not like the little one who has mastered the essence of the precious technique. And even if some essence qi is lost, it can be replenished."
Not only is it the case for the runes of Stone Village, but also for the large races outside. To achieve something, one must go through this process in the early stage. Everyone has to go through this at the beginning.
"The little one's attainment in runes is already deep and can learn how to change this situation."
After truly entering the door and reaching a certain level of attainment, it is another way of cultivation. The patriarch brought several bone books and taught the little one all the final runes.
In the following days, the patriarch preached every day and taught the children, giving different instructions according to different children.
Obviously, the little one is far ahead of the others. Even among the super-large races outside, his talent would be astonishing.
These days, the little one was obsessed, listening and studying the bone books every day. There was a happy smile on his little face, and his big eyes were almost narrowed into crescent moons.
In the early stage, runes need to consume one's own essence blood to nourish and make them grow. But after they are truly formed and the understanding deepens, this situation can be reversed.
"Let the runes turn into the rays of light and the divine radiance in the body. Each rune is like an eternal divine furnace, existing in every inch of the flesh and blood, tempering the creation of heaven and earth, introducing the divine essence into the body, and thus completely changing the body and spirit."
This is the path that the little one will take next. He has already laid a solid foundation, which is astonishingly solid. The runes have already formed, and it is not difficult to make this transformation.
In just a few days, the little one achieved extraordinary results.
When using the precious technique again, every inch of his flesh and blood shone, and the runes were faintly visible, like precious furnaces continuously providing essence and spirit, making him feel full of energy and comfortable throughout his body.
This result stunned Shi Yunfeng. He knew the little guy was talented, but he was still shocked again.
In just a few days, little Shi Hao achieved 颠覆性 results. Ordinary people need at least a few years, and even geniuses need a few months.
"I originally estimated that you would need more than two months, but judging from the current speed, it will be about a month, or even twenty days."
The outstanding performance of little Shi Hao made a group of elders laugh like children, and young adults like Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao also grinned, revealing their white teeth, and couldn't stop laughing.
"Comparable to the cubs of the ancient beasts. Maybe there will be a supreme one in our Stone Village in the future who can fight against the ancient True Hounds and Pure Blood Pixius."
"This is the child given to us by heaven. Naturally, he is far beyond ordinary people."
A group of people were happy. The dinner in Stone Village that day was very sumptuous. Various kinds of beast meat were either steamed or roasted golden and oily, and the aroma filled the village, making people's mouths water.
"Don't be too complacent. At the distant end of the land, there are unimaginable super-large races. In the prosperous territory, there must also be extremely talented people." The patriarch warned.
Of course, whether it was praise or warning, the adults did not say it in front of the children for fear that the little ones would be affected.
In the following days, Shi Hao made rapid progress. Every inch of his flesh and blood shone crystal clear, as if there were one ancient god after another sitting there. The runes were transforming and reorganizing, completely changing his physical state.
Shi Yunfeng was very excited and happy. At this rate, maybe in less than twenty days, only half a month is needed for the little one to succeed, and then the baptism can be carried out.
"Patriarch Grandpa, how should I go in the future?"
"The road is still long. You are now in the 'Moving Blood' realm and far from the time when you need to explore the road ahead by yourself. Some of the truly powerful human supremes will eventually give birth to sacred bones, have their own original marks, and have their own original precious techniques!"
"It's so yearning!" The little one clenched his small fist, and his big eyes shone.
Shi Yunfeng said, "The ancient ancestors have gone a long way. The road is still long. When you are strong enough, you can go out of this wildland to have a look. Some things I can't teach you. They are all outside."
When saying these words, Patriarch Shi Yunfeng's expression changed slightly. He touched a white bone in his arms and trembled slightly.
"Yoyo Taishang, Minzhi Juchu. Huangji Zhaojian, Yilun Youfu..." The little one recited softly, looking at the boundless wildlands. His eyes seemed to penetrate the endless mountains and see another vast world. (To be continued)
