Chapter 1161

Boom—!

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

Around them, darkness like ink swallowed all light.

Suddenly, a silver serpent slithered through the void, illuminating heaven and earth.

Everyone looked up and realized the sky was thick with dark clouds—Lei Jie was descending.

"I am about to undergo Lei Jie!" came Liu Shen's voice. "I'll be gone for a while, Little Stone. Cultivate well."

The next moment, the sky returned to normal.

A willow branch fell from the sky, spiraled once through the void, and became a green ring that enveloped the entire Stone Village.

A voice echoed in Shi Huang's heart: "Though I am gone, this willow branch is as me—it will protect Stone Village."

"Liu Shen, when will you return?"

Shi Huang gazed at the sky.

"I shall return after undergoing Lei Jie."

The voice faded, leaving not a trace of sound.

"Has Liu Shen left?" the village chief gasped in shock.

In the Great Wilds, without a sacrificial spirit, Stone Village would always be in danger.

Shi Huang reassured him: "Grandpa chief, don't worry. Liu Shen has left a method to protect our village."

"That's good."

The next day.

As soon as dawn broke, all the people of Stone Village gathered on the open ground.

"I will now transmit to you cultivation methods from another world," the village chief said solemnly. "These are the methods of an Immortal Emperor—profound and unfathomable. You must cultivate with all your heart. If you don't, hmph—old man has his own ways. Now, first pay homage to Master Taixuan!"

Old man has his own methods. Now, first pay homage to Master Taixuan!

"We pay homage to Master Taixuan!"

In the center of the village, a stone statue had been hastily carved overnight.

Undeniably, the fantasy world was powerful—in an ordinary world, such an intricate statue would take months, even a year to carve; here, it was done in one night.

As the villagers bowed, the statue suddenly glowed with light.

As everyone bowed in reverence, the next moment, a beam of light shone forth from the statue.
