Protagonist:
Jiang Xuan
Jiang Xuan was speechless. "Do we really have to dig up this Primordial Treasure Bone?"
Jiang Xuan did not reveal himself, silently watching.
"What on earth is this kid doing?" Among the crowd, a young cultivator frowned tightly, his face full of doubt.
"Oh my god, look—he's actually digging up the treasure bone on the green stone! Simply incredible! Doesn't he know this passage is reinforced by ancient runes, indestructible, and absolutely cannot be destroyed?"
An old man in a long robe widened his eyes, full of shock, and couldn't help but raise his volume, his tone as if recounting a shocking oddity.
Everyone spoke at once, and the noisy discussion instantly spread around them, the scene lively as if a pot had boiled over.
"Haha, the child is ignorant!"
"But it is rather interesting."
Hearing these discussions, Boy froze instantly, his whole body stiffened, and the movement in his hands stopped abruptly.
He subconsciously stood up quickly, a group of cultivators dressed in various strange outfits were surrounding the green stone.
Pointing at him, their gazes full of curiosity and doubt.
"This child looks only three or four years old, no wonder he understands nothing, actually thinking of destroying this only passage to the outside world, and even attempting to dig away the treasure bone."
Among the crowd, a middle-aged woman gently shook her head, a strange expression on her face, speaking softly.
"Hahaha, too outrageous, didn't his elders properly tell him the rules and taboos here before he entered the Xu Shen Jie?"
Another burly man stood with his arms crossed, also laughing loudly.
Boy scratched his head, warmth still lingering on his hand from just touching the green stone.
Only then did he belatedly realize he might have done something stupid.
The people around were all looking at him like a monster, sizing him up with strange gazes.
His cheeks flushed slightly, he opened his mouth somewhat awkwardly, explaining in a low voice: "Are the treasure bones here all owned by someone?"
Hearing him say this, everyone was as if struck by a freezing spell, stunned in place, looking at each other, the scene suddenly fell silent for a moment.
"Right, are the treasure bones here owned by someone?"
"Ownerless?"
"It's not a question of owned or ownerless, the question is whether the Xu Shen Jie rules have a provision for digging up Chu Shi Di treasure bones?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his thirties with an elegant and scholarly air separated from the crowd and walked forward.
He shook his head helplessly; although he thought this matter was extremely ridiculous and funny, he still patiently explained to Boy in a gentle tone: "Child, didn't your clansmen tell you about this place? Every cultivator who first arrives at the Xu Shen Jie is directly teleported to this 'Chu Shi Di'. Only by cultivating wholeheartedly here, raising your own strength and cultivation realm to a certain level, and completing the corresponding cultivation tasks, can you obtain the Xu Shen Jie rewards."
"You just arrived here, why don't you hurry to understand the rules and familiarize yourself with the environment, what are you studying this passage for? Still thinking of digging away the treasure bone, this is truly hard to understand..."
"Hehe..."
A few low chuckles came from the crowd, like ripples spreading on a calm lake surface.
Then, "haha..."
The people around could no longer hold back, bursting into laughter together.
Boy's face instantly turned red, making him wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He hesitated for a while, then mustered his courage, asking in a low voice: "So, are these treasure bones currently ownerless things?"
The crowd's laughter was instantly choked off, instantly stopped, everyone staring at him speechless.
Talked for half a day, this child is actually still thinking about digging up treasure bones?
"This child is truly... invincible, still thinking about treasure bones even now!" A young girl couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes wide open, her face full of surprise.
"Whose child is this exactly? What kind of education did he receive? Could it be that he was raised wild in the deep mountains and old forests isolated from the world, knowing nothing about the Xu Shen Jie rules?"
Everyone was both annoyed and amused, feeling that this child before them was like an ignorant creature crossing over from ancient times, cute in his foolishness yet making people laugh and cry.
Everyone was secretly guessing in their hearts, exactly which mysterious family was he from?
When returning to the real world, if his identity could be found out, his family would probably become a laughingstock after dinner for everyone; today's matter was truly unprecedented, worthy of being called a strange tale.
"Isn't this a world constructed by the gods with powerful spiritual power? I reckon these treasure bones definitely contain extraordinary value and secrets; I really am not greedy, I just simply want to dig them down and study the mysteries within properly."
Boy's face turned red, his voice becoming even weaker due to nervousness and shyness, stammering as he explained.
Hearing his words, everyone was as if their acupoints had been sealed, for a moment not knowing how to respond.
"Haha..."
Finally, everyone could only helplessly burst into laughter again. Although this place was only the Chu Shi Di of the Xu Shen Jie, not comparable to those legendary higher-level Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands full of opportunities, it was also guarded by ancient power and could not be destroyed at will.
An old man with a face full of wrinkles slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of a playful smile, laughing and teasing: "These Rune Bones are rare and hard to find in the world, extremely precious. If you little brat really have the ability to dig them down, this old man is willing to pay a high price, exchanging a large amount of Spirit Jade with you!"
"What is Spirit Jade?"
Boy's face was full of curiosity, asking with round eyes.
Everyone instantly felt speechless; how could this child know nothing about everything in the world? Could it be that he really came out of a desolate, uninhabited primitive old forest?
"Alright, talk about it after you really dig up a treasure bone."
The old man's mouth corner twitched, several black lines faintly appearing on his forehead.
"Oh, okay!"
Boy nodded hard; he knew clearly that his purpose for entering the Xu Shen Jie was to temper himself and broaden his horizons.
Master had once told him that everything appearing here had corresponding prototypes in the real world.
He had always lived in the Great Wilderness, with blocked news, knowing very little about the outside world; just right to take this opportunity to get to know it well.
"He actually doesn't even know what Spirit Jade is?"
More people rushed over after hearing of this, surrounding him like they were observing some rare species, standing not far away pointing and whispering at Boy.
Boy crouched on a large green stone one zhang long and wide, tapping and knocking, studying those few rune bones with full concentration, his expression extremely focused and serious.
"This is absolutely ridiculous, he really intends to dig up the treasure bones on the passage? Never seen such an outrageous person!"
"This little brat is too greedy, I want to see how he digs the treasure bones down, never heard of anyone being able to do it."
"Haha, this kid is adorably foolish, whose family is he from, running here to make a fool of himself?"
Everyone waited to watch the joke, feeling this kid's behavior was truly laughable, and also too greedy.
If an adult did this, they would have been spat upon by everyone long ago, but this kid's innocent appearance really made people unable to hold back laughter, only feeling he was endearingly simple.
"Kid, do you need tools? Uncle will lend you one."
A middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, a trace of mocking smile on his face, and said.
Boy didn't even lift his head, generously accepting this "kindness", crisply saying: "Yes, give me an iron pry bar weighing thirty thousand jin."
Everyone heard this and froze on the spot, this was too outrageous.
Who would be idle and forge such a heavy iron pry bar, and who could even lift it? Besides, how old is this kid, opening his mouth to ask for a thirty thousand jin iron pry bar, isn't that overestimating his capabilities?
"Don't have a thirty thousand jin one, but there is a three thousand jin one."
The middle-aged man spoke, and with a "dong" sound threw over a huge iron pry bar, directly smashing a deep pit in the ground.
"I'm afraid I'll break it."
Boy still didn't lift his head, sticking his bottom out, concentrating on studying those few rune bones on the large green stone.
"How does this kid talk?" The middle-aged man's face darkened, feeling he had been counter-mocked by this kid, and said displeasedly: "It's fine, you use it, if it breaks you don't have to pay."
"Oh, okay, then I won't be polite." Boy scratched his head, as if suddenly remembering something, and said: "Right, Uncle, isn't this a spirit world constructed by ancient gods? How can you bring an iron pry bar in? Could it be this iron pry bar is also formed from your spirit will?"
"Go, go stand to the side, you're the iron pry bar. Let you use it so use it, where do so many questions come from!"
Black lines appeared on the middle-aged man's forehead, his face full of helplessness.
"Fine." Boy stopped asking, but felt some disappointment in his heart, after all this was a doubt in his mind, why couldn't these people patiently explain a bit?
Boy jumped down from the large green stone, laboriously hauling that large iron pry bar up.
An old man kindly reminded: "Kid, being able to lift or raise a tool doesn't mean you can use it nimbly, because using it requires expending ten-odd times the force, you must be careful, don't injure yourself."
"I know."
Boy nodded, then his gaze fell on the brightly feathered bird on the old man's shoulder, and asked: "Old man, is this bird also your incarnation? Did you transform into this appearance?"
"Go, go to the side!"
The old man flicked his sleeve, his face also turning ugly.
"Why is everyone like this, can't you patiently teach me?" Boy muttered in a low voice, though his voice wasn't loud, it was still heard by everyone.
"This mischievous kid!"
Many people couldn't help muttering a sentence, thinking what strange questions this kid asks, could it be he deliberately came to tease everyone?
Just as everyone was secretly grumbling, Boy swung the iron pry bar, prying fiercely down at the large green stone, a "ga zhi" muffled sound rang out, stone chips flew.
In an instant, "ga zhi ga zhi..." a series of sharp and noisy sounds abruptly rang out, like an old bellows laboriously operating, or a rusted door hinge being forcibly twisted.
Boy tightly gripped the iron pry bar with both hands, exerting full body force, prying at the large green stone again and again with all his might.
Each time he exerted force, the muscles on his arms tensed like stone, his forehead also beaded with fine sweat from exertion, breathing rapid and heavy.
The sound of the iron pry bar colliding with the green stone continuously reverberated in this space, each sound more piercing than the last, almost shattering people's eardrums, everyone present couldn't help raising hands to cover their ears.
Must say, this Xu Shen Jie's wonder exceeds imagination.
Once stepping inside, that immersive realism rushes over, all sensory perceptions identical to the real world, as if the land underfoot and everything before one's eyes truly exist, this also made Boy persistently obsessed with digging up the treasure bones.
Just as everyone was tortured by this noise to the point of frowning and irritability, a "ka cha" crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Only to see that originally sturdy iron pry bar, unable to withstand the continuous immense pressure, suddenly bend and snap from the middle, the pry bar tip flying out, drawing an arc in the air before "kang dang" landing not far away.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked speechless, full of shock and incredulity.
No one expected this innocent-looking little brat to actually possess such astonishing strength, in such a short time turning a thick sturdy iron pry bar into scrap iron, this brute force was truly eye-opening!
Boy's face flushed bright red, expression tense and flustered, hurriedly looking at the elder who lent the iron pry bar, saying: "Grandpa, you promised earlier, if the iron pry bar breaks I don't have to pay!"
He knew clearly in his heart, objects in Xu Shen Jie are all not simple, since this iron pry bar could appear here, its value must be considerable, even if he bankrupted himself he couldn't afford to pay.
Seeing his flustered, at-a-loss appearance, everyone couldn't help bursting into loud laughter, laughter reverberating all around. But that elder who lent the iron pry bar had a black face, brows knotted into a "chuan" character, heavily hmphing, face full of heartache and annoyance, after all this iron pry bar to him was also obtained after much thought, now scrapped, how could it not pain him.
"I say child, can you actually dig the treasure bones down or not? Don't dawdle here wasting everyone's time, we're all eagerly waiting to see you show your skills!"
In the crowd, a young practitioner shouted at the top of his lungs mockingly, face carrying a few parts of watching-the-excitement-not-fearing-trouble ridicule, eyes full of expectation, just hoping Boy would continue to stir up some novel tricks.
"This is my first time entering Xu Shen Jie, really have no experience, fundamentally don't know how to solve this difficult problem. Brothers and sisters, if you have any good ideas or methods, tell me, let me also have some thoughts, have a bottom in my heart."
Boy's face was sincere, eyes flashing with light of thirst for knowledge, looking at the surrounding people full of expectation.
Everyone heard this, momentarily looking at each other in blank dismay, actually not knowing how to answer. In their hearts all thinking, who would be full and bored enough to ponder cracking Xu Shen Jie's passage?
Not to mention them ordinary practitioners, even if you invited the ancient divine beasts that shake Tianxia, facing this mysterious passage constructed by ancient gods, they also might not be able to shake it not a bit.
Actually, everyone in their hearts understood, this kid is just too innocent, too simple, probably bored out of his mind, that's why he thought of such an outrageous idea, attracting everyone to come watch.
"Little brat, work hard! Use all your abilities, don't disappoint everyone, we all think highly of you!"
A youth with a face full of wicked smiles shouted loudly inciting, face carrying ill-intentioned expression, heart full of expectation watching Boy continue to toss about, to add some fun to his dull cultivation life.
At this time, a gentle-faced, kind-hearted young female cultivator stepped out, expression concerned, softly persuading: "This matter fundamentally has no solution, no one can break this passage. Unless you can create an unprecedented record here, in Xu Shen Jie to create a miracle, only by breaking some extreme cultivation realms can it be done."
The young female cultivator paused, then patiently explained: "This is a world constructed by ancient gods expending countless painstaking efforts, when the gods created it they considered extremely thoroughly, one point being hoping to cultivate outstanding descendants with limitless potential through this place. Even though endless long years have hurriedly passed, the rules and order here remain stable as before, operating normally. Whoever can break some extreme cultivation realm here will obtain corresponding rich benefits. Moreover, in this process of challenging limits, Xu Shen Jie will give a certain degree of special protection, it will cleverly conceal the practitioner's mysterious Qi, not letting the divine precious arts they employ be exposed before everyone's eyes, strictly guarding secrets for them, avoiding unnecessary trouble from revealing extraordinary abilities."
"This is 'Chu Shi Di', no matter how profound your cultivation level originally is, once you come here, the combat power you can exert is limited to the Blood Moving Realm, fundamentally unable to surpass this limit."
The young female cultivator added a sentence, tone gentle.
"Ah, it's actually this magical?"
Boy stared with eyes wide open in surprise, face full of curiosity and astonishment.
"Correct, to break extreme cultivation realms here, one can only use Blood Moving Realm strength. Although many people present have long broken through this realm, in this Chu Shi Di those profound cultivation levels are of no use." The young female cultivator smiled in response, smile warm and kind.
"So that's how it is."
Boy suddenly understood, Dian Tou, and immediately his eyes flashed with Excited light as he pressed on, "Then if I'm Successful, what Benefit would I actually get?"
Everyone listening nearly stumbled and fell, thinking this kid really treats himself as a hero who can change heaven and earth?
Such a startling genius, a fierce figure who can break the Ji Ji — how could one just Appear casually?
Looking at this kid again, however you look at him he exudes a simpleton Force, as if he completely lacks Consciousness of how absurd his idea is, and doesn't know his own Bottom at all.
"This foolish child, truly understands nothing." A burly big man at the side curled his lip, face full of disdain: "Not Long from now, there'll be a time for you to cry."
Quite a few people Bao Zhuo their arms, faces wearing Yi Si Shen Chang smiles, looking like they're waiting to watch a show, full of Expectation to see what joke Boy will stir up next. (Chapter End)
