Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

A large group of people marched mightily toward the mountains.

Soon, the news that Boy would challenge Shi Yi's record spread like a storm throughout Xu Shen Jie.

"Is the news true? Is someone really challenging Shi Yi's record?" In the higher-level Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, many experts were left speechless by this news and began discussing it.

"Absolutely true! I just got the news from Chu Shi Di: it's that Xiao Mao Hai who wields the terrifying Furnace Treasure Art. I don't know where he learned it from, but he actually has such strength and audacity."

A well-informed cultivator said confidently.

"Is another peerless genius about to be born? This hairy child's treasure art is unheard of; he definitely has a great background behind him."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of doubt and curiosity.

This news not only alarmed those geniuses who usually focused on cultivation, but even some reclusive seniors who had stayed out of worldly affairs for years and top experts from various clans were attracted and began paying attention to this matter.

"You still don't know, do you? This person is Boy who previously fought the six great clans alone. The Furnace Treasure Art he wields is incredibly powerful, able to contend with the six great clans, but his origins are completely unknown."

An insider leaked the news mysteriously.

"What? Him again? This little brat doesn't play by the rules; he always causes a big commotion every time! His treasure art, and the audacity to challenge Shi Yi, definitely means something is not simple behind him."

Everyone was astonished, full of anticipation for Boy's actions, and kept guessing endlessly about his origins.

In the higher-level Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, everyone was disturbed by this news and could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts.

"Go, this time we must go see the scene; we might witness the beginning of a new era! It's also a good chance to see this mysterious hairy child's abilities."

A senior cultivator waved his hand and spoke while leading the way.

Everyone responded, after all, if he could really break Shi Yi's record, it would surely leave a bold and vivid stroke in the cultivation world.

Such a grand event, no one wanted to miss, and everyone wanted to uncover Boy's origins.

"Let's go too, see just how capable this little brat is! And check into his origins along the way."

"Right, let's go together, we might even discover some secrets."

That day, the entire Xu Shen Jie was no longer calm because Boy was going to challenge Shi Yi's record.

The influence of this news far exceeded his previous feat of creating two records in one day, as well as the matter of successfully extorting treasure blood by fighting the six great clans alone.

Chu Shi Di was packed with people, extremely lively.

The golden channel on the green stone kept flashing with auspicious light, batch after batch of people rushing over through the channel.

"He really dares to think that way! Creating two records in one day is already shocking enough, and he actually wants to challenge Shi Yi's record?! Although his Furnace Treasure Art is formidable, Shi Yi is a Born Supreme, so just where does this brat come from?"

A thin cultivator said with a face full of surprise.

"Don't rush to conclusions; let's see first. So many geniuses have failed, including princes of ancient kingdoms and top inheritors of divine lands. If this hairy child can really succeed, it would truly rewrite the history of the cultivation world. However, his origins are also hard to fathom." A person who looked like a sage said slowly, with expectation flashing in his eyes, also carrying a probing meaning.

Everyone discussed heatedly, and Boy's various deeds in Chu Shi Di were dug up one by one, becoming a hot topic of discussion. His treasure art, audacity, and origins all became the focus of everyone's discussion.

"I heard he's very capable, forcibly extorting precious treasure blood from the six great clans. His treasure art and style of doing things don't seem like an ordinary background."

"Right, the six great clans really took a big fall this time; I bet they're jumping with anger now. But what exactly is Boy's background, to have such strength and methods?"

The unlucky six great clans, hearing these discussions, gritted their teeth in anger, but were helpless.

This news spread so fast and so wide that they lost all face, wishing they could find a place to hide.

At the same time, they were also preoccupied with Boy's origins, vowing to definitely get to the bottom of it.

【38: At this moment, not only was Xu Shen Jie extremely lively, but Shi Guo in the real world was also in an uproar.

At this time, not only was Xu Shen Jie bustling with activity, but Shi Guo in Reality was also in an uproar.

Especially in Huang Du, the various royal and noble families were discussing this matter heatedly.

"Just whose child is this? He's definitely not a creature of the pond. His treasure art and his action of challenging Shi Yi definitely have powerful forces supporting him." A royal/noble frowned, saying with a face full of doubt.

"Do you think he could be a descendant of the War King? To contend for the position of Human Emperor, he has now started to directly compete with the Double Pupil Shi Yi? But I haven't heard of any such treasure art among the War King's descendants."

Another royal/noble speculated, his tone also full of uncertainty.

Shi Yi was at the height of his fame; although not yet an adult, he was already famous throughout Tianxia and was recognized as the most powerful contender for the position of Human Emperor.

Boy's appearance was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of waves. His treasure art, audacity, and origins all became topics of discussion among many cultivators.

At this moment, undercurrents were surging in the various royal mansions and great sect pure lands. The guards looked hurried; in the secret chambers, the royals and nobles discussed in low voices; the great sect elders closed their eyes to perceive Xu Shen Jie with their divine sense, and the disciples whispered to each other.

The young generation was completely in an uproar.

"Senior Brother! Quickly leave seclusion! Someone in Xu Shen Jie wants to break Shi Yi's strongest trial record!" A young disciple shouted outside the seclusion chamber, his face flushed red.

"Really?!" An incredulous response came from the secret chamber.

In an instant, the geniuses who were cultivating all opened their eyes, full of shock, turning into streaks of light and rushing toward the entrance of Xu Shen Jie.

The ancient kingdoms neighboring Shi Guo were also shaken.

"Senior Sister, it's too late, I'm rushing ahead!" A boy shouted while running.

"Don't rush, I'll be there right away!" The senior sister accelerated.

"Just who is he, to be so formidable!"

Boy's decision caused undercurrents to surge in both Xu Shen Jie and the real world; even the rulers in the Royal City who controlled the fate of the ancient kingdom were alarmed, secretly pondering the impact of this event.

Xu Shen Jie, Chu Shi Di.

Boy walked with light steps and a carefree expression, advancing steadily.

He wondered in his heart why so many people were suddenly following him; did that so-called Born Supreme really have such great influence?

"Hey, little brat, can you hurry up!" Someone in the crowd shouted at the top of their lungs, stamping their feet in anxiety.

"What are you rushing for? If you're capable, you go break the record!" Boy frowned and replied in a bad mood.

"How dare you speak like that?!"

"Exactly, how many years has it been since I've seen a kid as impressive as you? I came specially just to witness a miracle—don't mess up!"

"You guys just talk big, it's just a record, what's so hard? If you can break it, break it; if you can't, it's fine. Why keep urging me?" Boy pouted, looking completely unconcerned.

His carefree attitude drove everyone around him crazy. People chattered among themselves, muttering: Is this kid really here to break the record? Why isn't he anxious at all? So infuriating!

"Hurry hurry hurry, I can't wait!" Everyone was anxious, shouting louder and louder.

"If you're so capable, you go up!" Boy muttered softly, slightly speeding up his steps.

Everyone who heard it was both angry and amused.

This kid speaks bluntly and acts boldly; before, he even dared to tamper with the Virtual God Realm Passage and set up a scheme to trick the Six Great Clans into being ruthlessly fleeced. No one dares to easily provoke him.

After all, in this Primordial Land, his combat power is terrifyingly strong.

Upon reaching the destination, the mountainous terrain before them had an extraordinary aura. Ahead was a great lake, its water emerald green, shimmering like a large piece of transparent crystal; behind was a waterfall, cascading from high above like a white ribbon, splashing loudly.

The mountains were full of fierce beasts and evil birds. Huge figures could be seen running past from time to time, accompanied by roars, or wings covering the sky flying into the distance, with cries that pierced the heavens.

"It's this mountain. Back then, Shi Yi stomped his foot and shot straight into the sky, landing on the mountaintop," Jing Bi Da Ye said, pointing at the mountain.

An old man continued: "That's right, I witnessed that miracle with my own eyes back then. Many elders and clan chiefs were present, but no one could do what Shi Yi did."

In this Primordial Land, everyone can at most display the cultivation level of the Blood Moving Realm. When Shi Yi created the record, he leapt into the sky relying solely on his fleshly body.

The mountain before them was tall and large, its body brown, with few plants—only over a dozen particularly tall ancient trees, and a few old vines twined around them.

Water splashed at the mountaintop as the waterfall fell, sending up layers of mist that shrouded the whole mountain like a veil. Under the sunlight, five-colored lights flickered, as if a colorful phoenix were sleeping.

"Brat, are you ready?" Bird Ye asked with concern.

"What's there to prepare? It's just a jump," Boy said carelessly.

Everyone present showed expressions of surprise.

"This kid is too casual. Is he really here to break the record, or just to play?"

"Could someone be tricking us? Can this kid really break that limit record?" Someone in the crowd began to suspect.

Just then, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the distance. A huge piece of beast skin flew quickly close to the ground, with a row of people standing on it.

"Wow, what clan is this? They dare to use such a powerful treasure in the Virtual God Realm—aren't they afraid of an accident?" People exclaimed.

In the Virtual God Realm, the rules are strange; ordinary weapons seem bound and difficult to manifest.

But the treasure bones of ancient remnant species can break the shackles and manifest freely. Once a treasure bone is lost, the divine power of the treasure in the real world will slowly fade away.

A beast skin with flickering runes drifted over, carrying over a dozen women in white clothes, each beautiful enough to topple kingdoms, with transcendent and unworldly temperament, like fairies descending to the mortal world.

"My god, where did these fairies come from?" A young man in the crowd opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

An old man stroked his beard: "I'm afraid these are outstanding successors of the Bu Tian Ge."

Auspicious light flashed, and a bone fragment shrouded in purple light rushed over, carrying a group of men, women, old, and young.

"This... what is this formation?" A boy exclaimed in surprise.

The middle-aged man beside him quickly pulled him and scolded: "In my opinion, this might be the Royal Clan of some ancient kingdom. Don't talk nonsense."

As time passed, powerful forces from all sides arrived one after another, and the mountainous area was packed tight.

In the crowd, several young men looked indifferent, staring at Boy in the center of the field.

One of the young men curled his lip, looking full of disdain: "This Xiao Dian'er wants to challenge Shi Yi's record? I think he's just seeking attention and courting popularity."

Another young man echoed: "Exactly. When we challenged Shi Yi back then, we lost so miserably. If he wins, where do we put our faces?"

Just as everyone was chattering, someone suddenly shouted: "Quick look, the Female War God of Zhu Lu Shu Yuan is here!"

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw, amidst the misty clouds, a Five-Colored Luan Bird carrying a woman in Golden Armor flying slowly over. Her posture was graceful, her hair dancing freely, and her gaze was sharp as a knife.

"Is this the Female War God? She's too domineering!" A girl looked envious, her eyes full of admiration.

Everyone looked up and saw her riding a flying bird emitting a strange glow, slowly descending from the horizon.

She wore Golden Armor, and under the sunlight, dazzling treasure radiance burst forth.

"My god! Is this the Female War God of Zhu Lu Shu Yuan? This aura is simply amazing!"

In the crowd, a young martial artist couldn't help but curse, his face full of shock.

"Such demeanor, I will never forget it in this life! No wonder he occupies the top spot at Zhu Lu Shu Yuan!"

"Hmm? Is this the kid? Where exactly does he come from, and why is he determined to break Yi Er's record?"

On a distant mountain peak, over a dozen figures stood side by side.

The leading white-haired old man had an unfathomable gaze; the middle-aged strong man had a stern expression, showing the steadiness of a long-time battlefield veteran; the younger generation looked eager to try, but were suppressed by the aura of their elders.

Their gazes, without exception, were all locked on Boy in the center of the field.

"His background is still unknown. Today is his first time entering the Virtual God Realm, but the strength he has displayed has already attracted the attention of many powerful experts." A middle-aged man in black clothes stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and reported in a low voice.

"What? A newcomer dares to challenge Shi Yi's record? How is this possible!" A young disciple of the Yu Clan opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

"Too unbelievable! This child must have a great fortune on him." Another disciple of the Yu Clan muttered to himself.

"Pass the order down. The entire Yu Clan must keep a close watch on this child and thoroughly investigate his background." The leading old man narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Everyone, please make way. I want to prepare to break the record."

Everyone held their breath and waited for the challenge to begin.

At this moment, the crowd was dense, surrounding this protagonist Boy so tightly that not even water could leak through.

"Everyone, step back a bit and give the challenger some space!"

Several elders stepped forward and urged loudly, and the crowd made way for a passage.

Boy carefully examined the mountain before him and also scrutinized the one beside it.

The two mountains stood tall side by side, with similar heights. Upon closer inspection, the one beside was slightly higher by over ten zhang.

"I choose this one." Of these Twin Mountains, to break the record, this slightly higher one is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Please step back further." Boy raised his voice. "Everyone has already retreated to a safe distance; is that not enough for you to use your techniques?" Someone in the crowd whispered in doubt, his face full of suspicion and contempt.

After all, Shi Yi is a recognized genius, and the record he created is, in everyone's heart, like a towering, insurmountable mountain.

"This kid is too arrogant; does he think he can break Shi Yi's record?" a scion of an ancient family said coldly.

"Shi Yi is a Born Supreme; how could his record be broken just like that? This youth is far too ignorant of the immensity of Heaven and Earth," another echoed, full of mockery.

Boy ignored the doubts, stood still in place, slowly closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breath.

For a while, the scene was so quiet that only the roaring of the waterfall not far off could be heard. Silver-white water surged like a Dragon, plunging from a great height, sending up layers of spray, while mist of myriad colors spread around.

"Rise!"

Boy snapped his eyes open, his feet like heavy hammers, stamping down hard on the ground.

In an instant, the earth shook violently with a dull roar; the ground instantly cracked like a spider web, then exploded with a boom, and huge fissures centered on Boy spread madly in all directions.

Dust billowed, obscuring the sky and covering the sun, and the scene was one of utter chaos.

"Heavens! What monstrous strength is this? Is this the power a Blood Moving realm cultivator can possess?" someone in the crowd screamed madly, his voice changing pitch.

"This child, could he have some special constitution? This power is too terrifying!" a strong man's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

Everyone was stunned into wooden chickens by this sight, and the earth beneath their feet continued to tremble unceasingly.

Could this really be the power an ordinary boy could unleash?

One stomp, rocks shattered, fissures crisscrossed.

Boy's aura suddenly changed, like a peerless treasure sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed.

His silhouette flashed, and he whistled toward the High Sky.

At this moment, he was like a little War God descended to the Mortal World; the aura around him made people's hearts turn cold, his gaze sharp as a blade, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.

"My heavens! He really flew up by his flesh alone, and even surpassed a Mountain! Is he trying to defy Heaven!"

A senior of great prestige and virtue had his voice sharpened and distorted.

"Such talent, such strength—simply unheard of through the ages! This child will surely shock Tianxia!"

An uproar broke out among the crowd; everyone was left speechless, shocked by the miracle Boy had created.

"The record is broken, the record is truly broken!" I don't know who reacted first, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Immediately, the entire scene boiled over, and exclamations were deafening. (Chapter End)
