Years had passed, and the mountain treasure was finally in his hands. Shi Hao’s emotions were complex—so much had happened during this time, a tumultuous journey of highs and lows.
There had been tragedies—villages across the Great Wasteland wiped out, cataclysmic upheavals in the lower realm, the rise and fall of dynasties.
Shi Hao had left, ascended to the upper realm, even ventured to the borderlands, where he fought bloody battles against foreign invaders. Yet, in the end, he returned—only to lay eyes on the very mountain treasure that had been fiercely contested during his childhood.
Unlike ordinary bone, it had the smooth warmth of jade, unyielding and indestructible. He tried crushing it with all his might, but the treasure remained unmoved, not a single crack appearing.
Shi Hao had long suspected that this bone was special, and now he was certain—there was something profoundly unusual about it.
In an instant, another piece of bone appeared in his hand—the Myriad Spirit Diagram, equally flawless and white as jade. The two bones were strikingly similar.
*Clang!*
When the two bones collided, the sound was crisp and resonant, like the chime of fine metal.
Shi Hao examined them closely, convinced of their similarity. He stored away the Myriad Spirit Diagram, took a deep breath, and exerted his full strength to crush the bone.
As expected, it remained unbroken. Even with his current formidable power, he could not damage it.
“Too similar!” He suspected that this cubic bone might share the same origin as the Myriad Spirit Diagram. If true, this bone alone would be of immeasurable value—something that could be refined into a supreme treasure!
Were it not for the slight dullness of this bone, a minor difference from the Myriad Spirit Diagram, Shi Hao would have been completely certain they were of the same source.
“Just a little off,” Shi Hao murmured, rubbing the bone.
He turned it over and over, then unleashed six different treasure spells upon it.
Instantly, it erupted with dazzling radiance, brilliant light raining down like a celestial phenomenon.
“Huh?” The Fiery Ape was startled. It had always been impatient, and despite its earlier efforts, it had found nothing unusual. Yet in Shi Hao’s hands, the bone had transformed.
“I just acted on instinct. Seeing it had six sides, I used treasure spells to activate it,” Shi Hao explained.
In truth, it was a moment of divine inspiration—an inexplicable resonance within him, as if some grand method within his body had stirred.
With a crisp *crack*, the six-sided white bone split open. One side detached like a lid, revealing the interior.
The Azure Crane Sage sighed. “This treasure truly has a connection with you. In my time, I studied it for years before unlocking it. Yet you grasped its secret in an instant.”
Inside, faint glimmers of light shimmered. Was this treasure box a vast spatial artifact? Though small in appearance, its interior felt boundless, like a starry night sky.
Within lay several aged beast hides, stained with dried blood, their origins lost to time.
At this moment, the resonance within Shi Hao intensified. His heart stirred with excitement as he swiftly retrieved the hides.
“It really is this!”
Shi Hao was deeply shaken. He examined them one by one, then exhaled in profound realization.
“After searching endlessly, only to find it here, in this moment…”
Back then, he had scoured the world in vain. Yet now, it had appeared before him.
This was the legacy of the Supreme Hall!
Within it, clearly recorded, was the sect’s most supreme ancient heavenly art—**Six Paths Reincarnation**!
This was an ancient scripture. Beyond the Six Paths Reincarnation, it contained other techniques—treasure spells from the clans of the Roaring Beast, the Azure Phoenix, the Firebird, and more.
But the most precious of all was the **Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture**!
“Finally, I see the complete heavenly art!”
Shi Hao had once obtained fragments of this scripture in the Primordial Ancient Mine—only the six opening stances, not the full method. Now, at last, he beheld the rest.
Yet even those six stances had been profound, embodying countless mysteries. Delving deep, they represented nearly half of the technique’s legacy.
That was why, when Shi Hao used them in battle, his power had seemed limitless.
But incomplete was still incomplete. Now, it was whole.
Back then, he had relied on the fragmented Six Paths Reincarnation to contend with other ancient heavenly arts. Now, its power was destined to soar!
If he faced those old foes again, wielding this technique, he would crush them all—slaying gods and demons alike, unstoppable!
Standing in the ancient cave, Shi Hao began forming seals. The six opening stances shifted, his movements accelerating until he became like an incarnation of the Great Dao. Six black holes manifested, devouring all.
Then, temporal light rained down, reversing heaven and earth.
Next, the cycles of life and death, the vicissitudes of mortal existence—the great wheel of reincarnation.
Then, the collapse of cosmic rivers, the emergence of chaos, followed by the light of the Primordial Era, reviving all things, reshaping the world anew.
Finally, visions unfolded—vast as the cosmos, minute as an ant—all caught in the cycle. Souls drifting through eternity, awaiting rebirth. Matter transforming—dragons turning to dust, absorbed by plants, becoming divine trees.
Such magnificent scenes flowed endlessly. This was the Six Paths Reincarnation—the cycle of all things, contained within.
At the climax, Shi Hao’s expression turned solemn. All seals merged into one, and with a thunderous impact, he struck forward. The intent he manifested was entirely different now.
This was the method of wielding treasure spells—fusing and layering them to unleash even greater power. With this, gods would fall, and demons would perish!
In the following days, Shi Hao immersed himself in mastering this art, striving to fully comprehend the Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture. It was a supreme method, a peerless legacy.
Throughout history, countless scriptures and techniques had endured, but few could be called “peerless.” Now, Shi Hao possessed an invincible foundation!
With this alone, he could dominate countless foes. Even against the ancient lineages of the Immortal Domain, he now stood unshaken.
The Azure Crane Sage had heard of Shi Hao’s reputation, knew of his brilliance. But now, facing him directly, he understood what it meant to be born for cultivation.
Such an intricate method, so difficult to grasp—yet the Little Stone had penetrated its depths in mere days.
“My life is like the last glow of sunset. To witness the rise of a true prodigy in my final years is a blessing beyond measure,” the Azure Crane Sage said.
“My comprehension comes from my current state—the Accumulation Realm. My foundation is deep enough now, so mastering this art came naturally,” Shi Hao said, uncharacteristically humble.
“Enough!” the Fiery Ape grumbled.
The Azure Crane Sage was speechless. This Little Stone was far younger than him, yet he spoke of “deep foundations.”
Was this humility or arrogance?
Shi Hao set aside the Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture. He had memorized it entirely, comprehending it to a profound degree. Now, all that remained was the test of battle—and the tempering of time.
All divine abilities and secret arts, no matter how thoroughly studied, must endure the baptism of blood and fire. True gold fears no trial.
He turned to the other beast hides—treasure spells collected by the Supreme Hall. Among them were techniques from the Roaring Beast Clan, the Azure Phoenix Clan—all extraordinary.
But after obtaining the Thunder Emperor’s, Kun Peng’s, Willow God’s, and True Phoenix’s techniques, Shi Hao was no longer easily excited. Having witnessed the strongest, how could these stir him?
Then, as he reached the last hide, his heart stirred. This one was badly damaged, its inscriptions nearly illegible—a technique of the Suanni.
Something felt wrong. The Suanni technique was strong, but it shouldn’t be the final entry. Compared to the others, it wasn’t the ultimate treasure spell!
Shi Hao expanded his divine sense, probing deeply.
In an instant, his expression changed. His divine sense recoiled violently, and he shot backward, pulling the Fiery Ape and Azure Crane Sage with him, shielding them.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Silver sword energy erupted, reducing the ancient cave to dust, leveling the mountain, piercing the void, even severing stars beyond the heavens.
Even Shi Hao was stunned. This sword energy was beyond ferocious—unstoppable, annihilating all in its path.
Where the Suanni hide had been, only ashes remained—except for a single silver metal page, etched with mysterious runes.
It emitted sword energy—peerless, unrivaled!
A mere sheet of metal, yet capable of such might. It was terrifying—all because it recorded a sword art of supreme caliber.
“A peerless sword technique!” The Fiery Ape leaped in excitement.
Shi Hao murmured, “I knew it. How could the Supreme Hall not have one final trump card?”
