Chapter 46 Shi An Leaves the Village
To Shi Hao's surprise, his younger brother An did not answer his question directly. Instead, he asked him, "Brother Hao, you lost the Supreme Bone, don't you hate it?"
"Shi Yi, I often heard his name when I was training in the Void God Realm. Now he is dazzling and surrounded by endless divine halos, which is difficult for ordinary people to look up to."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's expression remained unchanged.
Although he was well aware that Shi Yi at this moment must be far beyond the ordinary, his brilliance illuminating the earth.
But so what? He can still do it!
Thinking of this, Shi Hao calmly said, "Brother Xiao An, it's just a bone! The Supreme Realm isn't something that's bestowed, it's not something that can be decided by a single bone, but something that you forge step by step."
"very good!"
Six-year-old Shi Hao was able to say such things, and Shi An couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes. Then he patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Hao, I'm very happy that you have such a mindset."
"Alright, I'll tell you a secret!"
"What secret?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao was taken aback and looked at Shi An with some confusion.
Shi An looked down at the grass at his feet and slowly said, "Have you ever noticed what the plants look like in early spring?"
"Winter······Spring·······"
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao unconsciously lowered his head and began to observe the grass swaying in the wind at his feet.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Shi Hao's eyes shone brightly, and he looked up at Shi An, saying, "Brother An, do you mean that the Supreme Bone within me can be reborn?"
Shi An did not answer the question directly. Instead, he waved his hand and threw out a ball of fire, burning the grass at his feet. Then, with another wave of his hand, a tender sprout slowly grew from the scorched spot, and then grew strong and healthy, reviving the grass.
"Wildfire cannot destroy it; the spring breeze brings it back to life!"
Seeing this scene of rebirth from destruction, Shi Hao's heart was instantly stirred. His small hands clenched into fists, and his big eyes also flashed with a bright light, showing a kind of longing and anticipation.
Although he was cheerful and did not believe that a single supreme bone could determine his life, the thought that the precious bone, which he was born with and could rival the True Hou and the Golden-Winged Roc, had been cruelly taken away by others and implanted into his body with blood still made him feel very lost.
This scene was like a ray of dawn shining into his heart, brightening his previously somewhat gloomy heart and igniting his fighting spirit.
Thinking it over, Shi Hao looked at Shi An again and asked, "Brother An, could you tell me specifically what I should do?"
"Actually, there's not much to say. The simplest and most basic truths are contained in ordinary things."
Shi An shook his head and slowly said, "An ancient tree that breaks may die because its vitality has long been exhausted, but it may also be reborn."
"Like chives, when they are first planted, they are yellow and weak, but after being harvested one crop after another, they become greener and stronger. Just like silkworms, if they are trapped in their cocoons, they will suffocate and perish, but if they break out of their cocoons, they will transform into butterflies, bright and beautiful. This is a rebirth, a transcendence of the past."
As Shi An spoke, Shi Hao's eyes grew brighter: "To be reborn from destruction is a kind of tempering, and also a unique kind of cultivation. If one can be reborn after Nirvana, one will surely surpass the past."
"That's right!"
Seeing that Shi Hao, who was not yet seven years old, could think of this, Shi An nodded in satisfaction. He then took out a piece of translucent white beast bone from his robes and handed it to Shi Hao: "Brother Hao, your current cultivation level is almost at the point where you should be able to handle this item. I will now formally entrust it to you. I hope you will study it carefully!"
"This is·········"
Looking at the gleaming white animal bone handed to him, Shi Hao was puzzled. What was this thing?
"This thing is called the Original True Understanding!"
Faced with Shi Hao's doubts, Shi An, as the good older brother, naturally answered all his questions and immediately explained, "According to our clan chief, it appeared in Stone Village with the Willow God in the past."
"And over the years, I have also made considerable progress in my spiritual practice through it."
"I see..."
After hearing Shi An's explanation, a look of surprise flashed in Shi Hao's eyes. He carefully stroked the seemingly ordinary yet mysterious white beast bone in his hand, and an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart.
The name "Original True Solution" sounds ancient and powerful, and it is also a treasure that appeared in Stone Village along with Willow God, which gives Shi Hao a deeper understanding of its value.
"Alright, didn't you want to go out of the village to find your father and mother?"
Seeing that Shi Haoyin was getting lost in the original truth, Shi An quickly reminded him, "Don't cultivate today. Rest up so you can leave the village tomorrow."
"Oh well!"
Awakened, Shi Hao hurriedly responded and then turned to walk towards the clan leader's courtyard.
However, watching Shi Hao's departing figure, Shi An fell into deep thought.
He was thinking, wondering whether he should follow behind Shi Hao to protect him.
"Forget it, if he lived in a greenhouse, could he still be the Desolate Heavenly Emperor? He'd probably just become an ordinary person!"
After a long while, a sudden realization flashed through Shi An's mind, and he immediately abandoned the idea of following behind Shi Hao to protect him.
And so, early the next morning, Shi Hao got up and left Shi Village alone, embarking on a journey to find his parents.
Shi Hao's departure plunged the once bustling Shi Village into a long period of silence.
Everyone was worried about Shi Hao's safety, but at the same time, they were full of hope that he could find his parents.
Not only that, Shi An also felt that after Shi Hao left, the way people looked at him changed, even the Shi Linhu couple who usually doted on him.
Shi An was fully aware of the situation, but he had no good solution.
After all, he couldn't possibly stay in Stone Village forever, acting as the village's guardian deity without ever going anywhere else.
"Phew~"
Finally, after much deliberation, Shi An let out a long sigh, bid farewell to everyone, and left Shi Village.
Shi An's figure gradually disappeared at the village entrance, leaving a group of villagers talking amongst themselves. Although they were reluctant to see him go, they knew that this was an inevitable step in Shi An's growth.
However, Shi An, after leaving Shi Village, did not choose the same path as Shi Hao. Instead, he once again chose to venture deep into the Great Wilderness.
Although the Cangmang Mountains have been destroyed by the four ferocious beasts, the Great Wilderness is not just the Cangmang Mountains. The real Great Wilderness is vast, containing not only greater dangers but also countless adventures.
Shi An traversed the dense forest, sometimes climbing steep peaks, sometimes diving into deep caves, searching for opportunities to improve his strength.
He knew that true strength lay not only in improving one's cultivation, but more importantly in tempering one's mind and gaining a profound understanding of the world.
