Chapter 24: Not worshiping God when meeting one
"Come on, let me see!"
Shi Zhao beckoned to Xiao Shi: "Go lift the tripod and see how much strength you've gained."
"Good crow!"
Xiao Shi felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly got rid of the group of burly men who were groping him all over. He ran to the side, lifted the heavy bronze cauldron, and then charged forward, managing to lift the heaviest cauldron in the village in one go.
That was a mythical beast-patterned cauldron weighing eight thousand catties!
This is not his limit; he clearly still has energy to spare.
"Very good, even better than I expected. It wasn't a waste of the extra stuff. It's almost as strong as ten thousand jin now." Shi Zhao patted his little head.
Xiao Shi chuckled as he received the praise.
His body was pure white and radiant, with a restrained divine glow. His long, smooth, black hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his large, bright eyes were full of life and energy.
Anyway, Shi Zhao liked it no matter how he looked at it, and a smile always played on his lips.
In her experience, human cubs are at their cutest and most fun at this time!
At that moment, the person with double pupils, far away on some ancient sacred mountain, suddenly felt their eyelids twitch...
"Chirp chirp~" Three baby birds squeezed over, full of intelligence.
They and the Azure-Scaled Eagle also benefited greatly, having consumed parts of the Demon Ape's arm and the old Suanni's flesh and blood in the past few days, becoming increasingly intelligent and divine.
The Azure-Scaled Eagle was about to break through to the next level and had already left Stone Village to go into seclusion.
The village gradually calmed down. Little Shi Hao held the Suanni Treasure Bone and looked at the runes on it. Shi Zhao did not intend to teach him the complete Suanni Technique for the time being, but instead let him study it on his own first.
Such an experience of independent thinking is infinitely better than direct indoctrination.
Furthermore, the legacy technique is sufficient for his current use. Once he has mastered it, it will be much easier for him to cultivate the complete pure blood technique later.
"Sister, I've memorized it, but the Suanni's magical techniques are too complicated for me to understand right now," Xiao Shi said, somewhat frustrated.
Shi Zhao was speechless; it would be strange if he could understand it immediately.
"It's alright, take your time, you'll understand it eventually. It took me a long time to learn the first treasure technique. You can start by thoroughly understanding the Azure Scaled Eagle treasure technique."
"Okay, I understand!"
While life was peaceful in Shicun, things were changing in a more distant place.
Some large tribes in the Great Wilderness, and even some self-proclaimed kings and nobles, have all turned their attention to the depths of the Great Wilderness.
To their astonishment, they discovered that the Supreme Beings had been vying for the Mountain Treasure for two years, and the battle seemed to be raging on and not yet over.
Of course, they dared not actually participate in such a struggle, but they all sent people to investigate, and unanimously brought along the little geniuses from their own clans.
The purpose of taking them there is to broaden their horizons, but in reality, they all know each other well and will definitely run into some acquaintances. The real purpose is to have a competition and see who is better.
One group after another rushed into the mountains. There were tribes riding silver unicorns, princes and nobles flying close to the ground on huge animal bones, and powerful figures riding on the back of a giant dragon.
"Grandpa, look! The spirit in this village is so strange. It's an old willow tree that was struck by lightning and charred. Only a tender branch is left."
On a snow-white feather that is five or six meters long, there stands an old man, two boys, and two beautiful, elfin-like girls, their eyes sparkling and radiant.
"Hey, what are those kids doing over there? Looks like they're learning oracle bone script?"
Not far away, atop a giant dragon, a five- or six-year-old child, ignoring the villagers, exclaimed with shining eyes, "What a strange sacrificial spirit! The power to be reborn after being struck by lightning! That tender branch must be a rare treasure; nobody can take it from me!"
Several other tribes nearby gathered around upon seeing this, and were immediately drawn to the village's spirit.
With their limited knowledge, they managed to guess, almost by chance, that Liu Shen had encountered a great calamity and was reborn from destruction.
As a result, everyone considered that tender branch to be a priceless treasure.
Before the adults could say anything, a group of children started fighting, wanting to compete and see who was the number one genius within a radius of 50,000 miles.
"Wow, sister, so many crows have come to the village. Huh? Why are they fighting?" Little Stone tilted his head, puzzled.
"They want to steal the only tender branch on Liu Shen's body," Shi Zhao said with a light laugh.
"That's terrible! How could they do this?" Xiao Shi's eyes widened, wishing he could beat all those bad guys up.
"It's really bad. Go and beat up those kids later." Shi Zhao nodded.
"Okay, I'll definitely beat them all down!" Little Stone waved his little arms, his eyes serious and determined.
"We can definitely do it, little one, beat them!" the other kids chimed in.
Outside the village, the powerful figures in the mountains and forests were extremely perceptive and naturally overheard this conversation, and they were all taken aback upon hearing it.
According to their understanding, this was just a remote and backward mountain village, and there were no experts there at all.
However, there was a little guy who said he would defeat all the geniuses outside the village.
Most importantly, a group of children nearby, after witnessing the duel outside, all expressed their approval, which is quite puzzling.
So, whose child is that, so brave?
"You wild children from the mountains, you really don't know your place, how dare you laugh at me? Do you want to die?" The child who came down from the giant dragon was immediately filled with anger.
With a sudden burst of energy, he broke free from the battle and leaped up like a ferocious bird, covering nearly ten feet in a single bound, rushing towards the village entrance, eager to teach these wild children a lesson.
"You really are bad guys! I haven't even hit you yet, and you've already attacked first. How wicked!" Xiao Shi was also very angry, glaring and quickly stepped forward.
A small, fair hand reached out and made a whooshing sound, slapping the other person away.
"Wow, what an adorable and amazing child!"
The two little girls on the snow feather were extremely surprised. The two looked exactly alike. When they saw that the porcelain doll-like little stone was so fierce, their eyes lit up and they giggled nonstop.
Behind them, a group of powerful figures were petrified. They never expected that the village child would actually slap the renowned genius Jiao Peng away with a single blow.
What kind of village is this?!
Many people were wary, and some even thought it was a reclusive family left over from ancient times... In fact, they were not wrong, but unfortunately, their strength was not quite up to par.
A large group of people were stunned by Xiao Shi, but the village kids started criticizing their mounts again, saying they were no match for any ferocious beasts or birds of prey, or even worse than the Suanni they had eaten last time. They became suspicious and no one dared to put on airs anymore.
Then, they saw the girl who had spoken earlier rebuke them and begin explaining a piece of bone script, which was surprisingly profound and unknown to some of them.
Only then did they realize that although the girl was young, she was clearly a beauty in the making, with a refined and elegant appearance, delicate eyebrows and a straight nose, and a heroic air about her.
Despite wearing coarse linen clothes, her temperament was too otherworldly and refined.
Is this the kind of girl that can be raised in a small mountain village?
What's the difference between that and a golden phoenix flying out of a mountain valley?
"Sister, you're so pretty!" The twin beauties sidled up to Shi Zhao, one of them asking, "Is this the spirit of your village? What do you call it?"
"Willow Goddess," Shi Zhao blinked and replied.
"What?! God?!" A group of adults almost jumped up.
Shi Zhao found it somewhat amusing, but deliberately kept it to himself, wanting to see the furious expressions on their faces when they discovered the truth.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Ahem, if you don't worship the gods, you've already lost your luck. Since you've come from afar, why don't you offer some prayers?"
The group was genuinely intimidated. They exchanged glances and decided to just go ahead and worship. It wouldn't hurt them anyway; what if they actually damaged their luck?
"Ahem, please offer the sacrifices first," Shi Zhao said, barely suppressing a laugh.
At the same time, she revealed part of her aura, which was clearly that she was at the Cave Heaven Realm!
This stunned them again.
"Since we're already here..." Some people have already completely gotten caught up in the situation.
The atmosphere has been built up to this point, it would really be inappropriate not to offer a bow.
But after they cautiously wandered around the village for half a day, they finally realized something was wrong: none of the people here seemed to have any cultivation level.
One or two is one thing, but it's impossible for them to be hiding their true abilities, right?
Once they came to their senses, many people became furious, and the children who were used to being spoiled couldn't stand it and started fighting.
"Big brother, it's wrong to hit people randomly!"
Little Shi blinked his big eyes and called out "Big Brother" and "Little Genius" with every punch.
"You've infuriated me! You've forced me to use my precious technique; you've already committed suicide!" Jiao Peng's face was flushed red, almost distorted as he spoke.
"You're not ready yet, all of you come together." Xiao Shi's demeanor had changed, showing a maturity beyond her years. She pointed at several people with her small hand.
His ability to act cute and charming towards his sister doesn't mean he's truly childish or naive, especially since he's gradually regaining those forgotten memories; he's simply enjoying his current happy life even more.
Xiao Shi took the initiative and used the Azure Scaled Eagle Technique. In a short time, he took down several young geniuses one by one, demonstrating extraordinary combat intuition. Even when the group joined forces, it was useless, and he overpowered these outsiders.
"That damned brat! Uncle Jiao, devour him whole, then slaughter this entire village!"
A fierce aura emanated from Jiaopeng. He wiped the blood from his face, looked at the nearly ten-foot-long flying dragon circling in mid-air, and said viciously.
"Roar!" The flying dragon lowered its huge head in the air, staring at Xiao Shi with a cold and murderous look in its eyes. The adults did not stop it.
"This little guy is young, but he's got a vicious mind." Shi Zhao's face suddenly turned cold, and a purple-gold hammer appeared in his hand, crackling with blinding lightning.
"boom--!!"
