Cao Ya looked around and indeed found that Stone Village had changed. Rare and precious medicinal herbs and fruit trees had been planted there, and the air was filled with spiritual energy. It didn't seem like a remote village in the Great Wilderness, but rather like some hidden paradise.
I took a sip of monkey wine, smacked my lips, and said, "It really does taste good."
Monkey wine is quite famous. It is brewed with various medicinal herbs and is a precious wine made from a rare and precious medicinal herb.
It's easy to imagine that Shi Hao didn't bring back much. It was fortunate that Cao Ya came; if it were someone else, Shi Village definitely wouldn't have brought this thing out.
Cao Ya refused the old clan chief Shi Yunfeng's offer of a refill, saying that he only tasted the monkey wine and it didn't have much effect on him anymore.
Seeing that Cao Ya insisted, Shi Yunfeng had no choice but to give up.
The two chatted about some recent major events, such as the destruction of the ancient sect, Butian Pavilion, which Shi Yunfeng spoke of with great regret.
After all, Shi Hao joined the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, but he didn't stay long before the Heaven-Mending Pavilion disappeared.
Among the eight realms below, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was a major sect, yet it was destroyed overnight, which was truly shocking and terrifying.
Cao Ya also knew that even in the Upper Realm, namely the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there was a Heaven-Mending Pavilion, but it was called the Heaven-Mending Path or the Heaven-Mending Sect. It was a super sect that spanned the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Lower Realm was just a branch of it.
Shi Yunfeng was quite worried about Shi Hao's future development, but he didn't know what to do.
The little one has grown up and is now giving back to Shi Village, so the elderly don't need to worry about him anymore.
Shi Hao's power is now considered the strongest in Shi Village.
Although Shicun is the ancestral home of Shiguo, that is a long-forgotten fact. In Shiguo, who still remembers this ancestral home?
The Emperor of Shi Kingdom is quite powerful; Cao Ya had met him once.
He was, after all, a renowned hermit of the desolate wilderness.
At the same time, the old clan chief Shi Yunfeng also told some stories about Xiaobudian, such as Xiaobudian's tragic background.
Cao Ya was well aware of this, but he listened silently nonetheless.
Shi Hao was born with supreme power, but his supreme bone was forcibly taken by his cousin Shi Yi's mother for her son, causing him to fall seriously ill and die. After a series of twists and turns, he was fostered in Shi Village.
How can such a tragic experience not make people sigh with regret?
Shi Yunfeng knew that Cao Ya, the Great Wilderness Hermit, was a powerful and renowned figure. He could no longer offer any help for Shi Hao's future. However, if he could establish a good relationship with Cao Ya, perhaps Cao Ya would be willing to help Shi Hao if he were in danger in the future.
Cao Ya saw through Shi Yunfeng's thoughts at a glance, but didn't expose him. This good relationship was something he had wanted to cultivate in the first place.
At this time, Shi Hao had probably already cultivated ten cave heavens and entered the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Cao Ya had already learned that the Kunpeng Divine Treasure of the North Sea was about to open, so he decided to go there.
The Kunpeng Treasure Technique, one of the Ten Ancient Fiends, is an extremely powerful treasure technique. Who wouldn't be envious?
Not to mention the lower realm, even in the upper realm, there are countless people who covet the Ten Ancient Ferocious Treasures.
The Ten Ancient Fiends were all at their peak with combat power at the quasi-Immortal King level. Among them, the most powerful even reached the Immortal King level. For example, the True Dragon, the leader of the Ten Ancient Fiends, was a giant among the Immortal Kings.
There are also Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and others, each one of them is incredibly powerful.
Even in the Immortal Realm and other realms, there are many who covet the Ten Primordial Ferocious Treasures of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Although the Thunder Spirit Treasure Technique is powerful, it is not the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique after all.
Lei Di was one of the Ten Ancient Fiends, comparable to Kunpeng. Naturally, Lei Di's Treasure Technique was in no way inferior to Kunpeng's Treasure Technique.
However, the Thunder Spirit Treasure Technique that Cao Ya obtained was not that top-tier.
Of course, it's definitely not bad either, reaching the highest level of Supreme.
After all, the Thunder Spirit Clan is a pure-blooded mutant, born from the Heavenly Tribulation, and is extraordinary from birth. They can devour lightning and have extremely high potential.
The Thunder Emperor is the strongest member of the Thunder Spirit Clan.
Cao Ya studied the "Thunder Spirit Treasure Technique" and considered himself unparalleled in the desolate region in his mastery of thunder magic.
Now his other skills have also made up for it instantly. With the superposition of multiple systems of power, although his realm is still only at the Venerable Realm, his combat power is such that even if a Divine Fire Realm expert were to emerge, he might not be able to defeat him.
The Divine Fire Realm is already worthy of being called a god; even if it's a false god, it's still a god.
Cao Ya went to see Liu Shen again, who was a lightning-struck tree that had miraculously survived to this day.
In the ancient era of immortals, Liu Shen possessed unparalleled talent and extraordinary beauty, with strength reaching the heavens. Her combat prowess was unmatched throughout history. As a sacrificial spirit to her ancestors, she had become incredibly powerful. She once single-handedly ventured into a foreign realm, entering and exiting nine times, striking fear into the hearts of the immortal kings there.
The Immortal King of another realm is equivalent to the Immortal King of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Immortal Realm, only with different titles.
Later, the Willow God suffered a calamity and forgot many past events. Even her original body, which was at the level of a Celestial King, was reduced to a mere remnant, becoming a sacrificial spirit of Stone Village.
Now, however, the Willow Goddess has begun to return.
Liu Shen undoubtedly deserves the top spot in terms of Shi Hao's influence.
The willow branches were charred black, but a dozen or so bright green buds fluttered in the sunlight, creating a striking contrast with the lightning-struck trunk. The scene was vibrant with life, peaceful and sacred.
The willow branches swayed in the wind, carrying the serene voice of the Willow Goddess:
"Your power has increased."
He seemed to have some doubts as he spoke:
"Thunder, flames, blood and qi, and... some powers I've never seen before... They're strange, but they seem very powerful, and quite mysterious."
Upon closer contact, Liu Shen noticed the changes in Cao Ya.
Cao Ya smiled. He didn't think he could fool this kind of person. Moreover, he had met Liu Shen before and knew his situation. Now that they met again, he could naturally see the difference at a glance.
When encountering powerful figures in other worlds, since it was their first meeting, they assumed that the power Cao Ya had cultivated was the source of his strength. Even if they realized it, they didn't care much, given the vast difference in their power levels.
In this world, when he was cultivating the Thunder Spirit Treasure Technique, the Willow God gave him guidance.
"Your power is somewhat mixed. You can try to fuse and unify the various powers." Liu Shen resumed her calm tone, gently instructing Cao Ya.
Cao Ya humbly accepted the instruction, but in front of the newly rebuilt Immortal King giant, he was no match for him.
Afterwards, Cao Ya bid farewell to Liu Shen, saying that he was going to the North Sea to explore the Kunpeng Divine Treasury.
This time, Liu Shen's tone wavered slightly:
"Kunpeng? She's gone too."
Both being figures from the ancient era of immortals, Liu Shen and Kunpeng were acquainted.
Kunpeng's fate was even more heartbreaking. After fighting for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and returning severely wounded, he was ambushed and killed by True Immortals from the Immortal Realm and other Daoist lineages. He died before he could even heal. However, she also almost wiped out all the True Immortals who ambushed Kunpeng. The True Immortal from the Immortal Palace in the Immortal Realm was also severely injured and can now only be called a crippled immortal.
But this is far from enough. How can we treat meritorious people like this?
What is most heartbreaking is that Kunpeng was pregnant at the time. Before dying, she either killed or repelled the offending immortals and gave birth to Kunpeng Zi, which was placed in the chaos. It was born millions of years later and is known as an immortal being.
The female Kunpeng, however, perished completely.
