Chapter 8: Shi Yuan's Shock
In the original work, during the Shuang Shi battle, the reason Shi Hao was able to fight Shi Yi was entirely due to the Kun Peng Treasure Technique, one of the Ten Ferocious Treasures.
Shi Hao, having obtained the complete Kun Peng Treasure Technique, possessed the Kun Peng Swiftness, which canceled out the Twin Pupils' ability to slow down enemies, thus giving him a fighting chance.
Otherwise, with all his movements clearly understood and seen by "Shi Yi," Shi Hao would have been constrained everywhere, with no chance of victory whatsoever.
In this life, the Kun Peng Treasure Technique from the Northern Sea Remnant Nest is something Shi Yi must contend for; if he can obtain one of the Ten Ferocious Treasures, he will benefit for life.
Moreover, the Kun Peng Art contains the power of Yin and Yang, which aligns with Shi Yi's Twin Pupils, providing unimaginable enhancement to Shi Yi. Such a great Opportunity must not be missed.
In the following time, Shi Yi continuously consumed precious medicines, ancient pills, and mild beast blood to nourish his Twin Pupils and the Supreme Bone in his chest, while also accumulating his own foundation.
During this process, he consciously strengthened his own Blood Qi and the toughness of his Physical Body.
For a Twin Pupils, the weakest aspect is the Physical Body. If the Physical Body can be developed to its extreme, Shi Yi will have no weaknesses to speak of.
Half a month later, Shi Yuan arrived. He first inquired about Shi Yi's cultivation progress.
The several treasure techniques he brought last time, which were second only to the Ancient Remnant, would have been an impossible task for any four-year-old child who had not yet entered the Blood Moving Realm.
However, Shi Yi was different. He was a Twin Pupils, with the potential of an ancient Divine Being, and now he had obtained the Supreme Bone, surpassing other peers by an unknown margin. Shi Yuan and the Wu King Manor Zong Laos estimated that within a month, Yi'er would master at least two of them.
However, when Shi Yi, at Shi Yuan's request, displayed the Vicious Beast treasure techniques he had learned, it directly shocked Shi Yuan on the spot, leaving him speechless for a long time.
In Shi Yi's palm, symbols containing the power of the Dao fluttered like falling leaves, seemingly chaotic but in fact orderly.
In an instant, a giant Celestial Wolf stepped out from among them. Its fur was like long steel needles, stained with crimson blood. Its eyes were bloodthirsty and cruel, vivid and lifelike, as if real.
Suddenly, a sacred full moon rose slowly, casting soft light on the Celestial Wolf. Its eyes immediately turned red, and its Aura became even more terrifying, enveloping the entire courtyard.
Celestial Wolf's Howl to the Moon!
Shi Yuan also knew it. He had learned its essence when he was young, and after so many years, he was already proficient.
However, after seeing the Celestial Wolf's Howl to the Moon performed by four-year-old Shi Yi, Shi Yuan had to admit that Shi Yi's treasure technique was more perfect, without any flaws, and no weaknesses could be found.
Before Shi Yuan could react, an even greater commotion came from Shi Yi's side.
The full moon and the Celestial Wolf vanished without a trace in an instant, demonstrating Shi Yi's perfect control over this treasure technique.
The next moment, Shi Yi's expression was calm, and the symbols between his fingers transformed into another kind, surging out like a tidal wave, quickly constructing another treasure technique. Shi Yuan was certain that his own casting speed at fifteen was not as fast as four-year-old Shi Yi's.
“Boom!”
In front of Shi Yi, a dazzling white light exploded, accompanied by a rumbling tremor of the earth. A rhinoceros, even larger than the Celestial Wolf just now, charged out from within, bringing a fierce gale. Its four thick hooves rotated, moving at an extremely fast speed towards Shi Yuan. The white single horn swayed up and down, its power terrifying, as if it could pierce the Void Realm.
“Pfft!”
Just as the white-horned rhinoceros was about to reach Shi Yuan, it automatically exploded, turning invisible and dissipating between heaven and earth.
The latter showed a solemn expression. White Rhinoceros Horn, Shi Yi had also mastered it, and his attainment was even deeper than that of a Zong Lao like him. This was truly too exaggerated.
Suddenly, a cry came from the sky, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and the sound of hurricanes.
Shi Yuan looked up in surprise. Unbeknownst to him, several dark clouds had gathered overhead. Dazzling lightning flashed within them, and rumbling thunder occasionally sounded. A huge thunderbird, spreading its wings, brought a sky full of lightning and swooped down from the sky, directly targeting Shi Yuan's head.
This strike had a great impact, like majestic heavenly power descending from above.
Similarly, the thunderbird, flapping its wings, disintegrated into symbols not far from Shi Yuan, turning into ashes.
Shi Yuan's mind was already somewhat numb. Shi Yi had perfectly mastered all three major treasure techniques without exception, and not a single flaw could be found.
Is this the potential of an ancient Divine Being? It is truly terrifying, simply an existence beyond common sense.
Currently, Shi Yi has not yet begun cultivation. He is like a Dragon hidden in the abyss. Once he starts cultivating, it will be unstoppable.
Just as Shi Yuan was lost in thought, he suddenly felt the air becoming somewhat hot. With his Dao cultivation, a slight perception allowed him to find the source of the heat. It turned out that a fiery toad had squatted at his feet at some point, puffing up its body and staring up at him with wide eyes.
Not a single mistake, not a single omission, everything is here!
This was no ordinary toad, but a treasure technique no weaker than Celestial Wolf's Howl to the Moon or White Rhinoceros Horn. Fiery flames enveloped its body, scorching the ground black.
Shi Yuan was speechless. This fiery toad was too fast. It had arrived at his feet without him knowing. Of course, this was partly due to his Divided Soul, otherwise, a child who had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation could not have done this, even if he was a Twin Pupils.
“Yi'er, you've done well. You've mastered all four treasure techniques proficiently. Grandfather wants to know, how long did it take you to reach this level?” Shi Yuan first praised him, then asked curiously.
“Less than a day, I suppose. These treasure techniques aren't as difficult as imagined; they're very easy to master. Grandfather, do you have any higher-level treasure techniques?” Shi Yi replied.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Less than a day? What kind of Heaven-Defying comprehension ability is this?
He forced a smile and said, “Of course. Once Yi'er enters the Blood Moving Realm, they will be passed on to you.
Currently, you have no cultivation, and activating such treasure techniques would harm your Blood Qi, which is not conducive to future cultivation.”
Afterward, Shi Yuan, whose heart remained unsettled, led Shi Yi out of the courtyard. His purpose for this trip was to take Shi Yi to receive a medicinal bath.
This process is indispensable for children in their childhood. It can help children temper their Blood Qi and bones, unleash their potential, accelerate the absorption of external substances like precious medicines, and so on. The benefits are too numerous.
If the medicinal bath is done properly, it can lay a solid Dao foundation for children, benefiting them greatly.
Walking out of the courtyard and passing through one garden after another, everyone who encountered Shi Yuan and Shi Yi along the way would respectfully greet them. Every young person looked at Shi Yi with reverence and admiration, and every older Cultivator looked at Shi Yi with kindness and a smile.
