My brother is Shi Hao

"I have made up my mind to go to the forbidden area of Beiming!" Shi Yi's eyes were firm and his tone was decisive.

True Man Jiuyang stroked his beard, frowning slightly. "The Beiming Forbidden Land is extremely dangerous. Rumor has it that it is the site of an ancient battlefield. The remaining evil spirits and restrictions are enough to daunt countless cultivators. You..."

"Senior, I have made up my mind." Shi Yi interrupted Master Jiuyang, his eyes revealing an unshakable determination. "Only between life and death can one maximize their potential. I need strength to protect myself and Shi Hao!"

Shi Hao struggled to get up, but was held down by Shi Yi, "Brother, I..."

"Just focus on your recovery and leave the rest to me." Shi Yi said gently but firmly.

True Man Jiuyang and Fairy Baihua looked at each other, and both saw admiration in each other's eyes.

"Okay! Since you have made up your mind, the two of us will lend you a helping hand!" True Man Jiuyang said loudly.

The Flower Fairy waved her sleeves lightly, and a pink petal fell, transforming into tiny starlight, guiding the way. "I know of a hidden valley with abundant spiritual energy, perfect for healing and cultivation. You can take refuge there for now."

The crowd flew through the sky, passed through layers of clouds and mist, and came to a quiet valley.

The valley is filled with birdsong and fragrance of flowers, and the aura is thick, just like a paradise.

The Fairy of Flowers lightly tapped her fingertips, and a soft white light enveloped Shi Hao, healing his wounds.

Shi Hao only felt a warm force flowing through his body. The original severe pain gradually subsided, replaced by an extremely comfortable feeling.

He activated the power of the Supreme Bone in his body and cooperated with the treatment of the Fairy of Flowers, and his injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, during the process of healing, he gained a deeper understanding of the mystery of the magic treasure.

"This power..." Shi Hao exclaimed in his heart. He felt that there was a vast and boundless power contained in the fairy treasure, as if it could create the world and turn the universe upside down.

On the other side, Shi Yi sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, surrounded by a faint golden light.

True Man Jiuyang stood aside, carefully observing Shi Yi's condition, nodding and frowning from time to time.

"Although your fusion of skills has shown initial success, it is still not perfect. If you force a breakthrough, you might go astray." True Man Jiuyang said in a deep voice.

Shi Yi opened his eyes, a glimmer of curiosity in them, "Please give me some advice, Senior."

Master Jiuyang smiled slightly and began to teach Shi Yi a more sophisticated technique of fusion...

Time passed quietly during the practice, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

One day, Shi Hao slowly opened his eyes. His injuries had healed, and his cultivation had reached a higher level.

He looked at Shi Yi and found that Shi Yi was still immersed in cultivation. The aura around him was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. It was obvious that he had reached the critical moment of breakthrough.

"Brother..." Shi Hao called softly, but did not disturb Shi Yi. He knew that Shi Yi could not be disturbed at this time.

Suddenly, the aura around Shi Yi became violent, and a powerful wave of power burst out from his body, shaking the surrounding trees violently and causing leaves to fall.

"Not good!" Master Jiuyang's expression changed. "He's about to break through, but..."

"...His power is not stable enough. If he breaks through by force, he might go astray!" True Man Jiuyang looked solemnly at Shi Yi worriedly.

The violent power raged through Shi Yi's body, like a ferocious beast about to escape, attacking his meridians and dantian. Shi Yi gritted his teeth, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but he did not retreat in the slightest. Instead, he focused even more on guiding the violent power in his body.

"Senior, I know what I'm doing." Shi Yi's voice was a little blurry amidst the violent force, but the determination in his eyes was clearly visible. "I need strength to protect myself, Shi Hao, and... everyone!"

Jiuyang Zhenren looked at Shi Yi deeply, but ultimately chose not to stop him. Instead, he chose to trust the young man. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and golden runes flew out, enveloping Shi Yi and helping him stabilize the power in his body.

As time passed, the violent force surrounding Shi Yi gradually subsided, and finally disappeared completely. He slowly opened his eyes, and they shone with a gleam that was like two sharp swords unsheathed, captivating everyone.

"Congratulations, you have successfully broken through." True Man Jiuyang said with a smile, with a hint of relief in his tone.

Shi Yi stood up, feeling the surging power in his body, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

"Brother, are you okay?" Shi Hao ran to Shi Yi and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I feel stronger than before!" Shi Yi rubbed Shi Hao's head and said with a smile.

True Man Jiuyang looked at the two brothers, feeling a surge of emotion. He knew that these two young men would become the most powerful men on this continent in the future, and their future was limitless.

"My two friends, although your strength has improved, the Dark Ghost King and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord are formidable and are by no means easy to defeat." True Man Jiuyang said solemnly, "What are your plans next?"

Shi Yi and Shi Hao looked at each other, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.

"Senior, I have a plan..." Shi Yi told Master Jiuyang the plan he and Shi Hao had discussed.

After listening to Shi Yi's plan, Master Jiuyang pondered for a moment and said, "Although this plan is risky, it is not impossible to succeed. However..."

"Please speak, senior!" Shi Yi and Shi Hao said in unison.

"The power of this immortal treasure is too strong. You must control it carefully and not let it backfire." True Man Jiuyang warned solemnly, "Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"We understand." Shi Yi and Shi Hao nodded seriously.

Over the next few days, Shi Yi and Shi Hao, under the guidance of Master Jiuyang, began to prepare their plan. They practiced each step over and over again, striving to make it foolproof.

During this process, Shi Yi and Shi Hao continued to work together, and their tacit understanding reached an unprecedented level. With just a glance or a gesture, they could understand each other's thoughts.

Finally, everything was ready, and Shi Yi and Shi Hao's eyes were firm and resolute.

"It's time!" Shi Yi said in a deep voice, holding the magic treasure tightly in his hand.

As night falls, the valley becomes silent, with only the rustling of the trees in the breeze. However, beneath this seemingly peaceful night, a storm is about to break out...

True Man Jiuyang and Fairy Baihua concealed their presence and hid at the outskirts of the valley. They would serve as the last line of defense. If Shi Yi and Shi Hao's plan failed, they would do their utmost to prevent the Dark Ghost King and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord from taking the immortal treasure.

In the valley, Shi Yi sat cross-legged, his hands forming seals, controlling the power of the immortal treasure. A pale golden light swirled around him, outlining a series of mysterious runes. These runes seemed to possess life, interweaving and entwining in the air, ultimately forming a vast formation that enveloped the entire valley.

Shi Hao, wielding a bone spear, moved nimbly through the formation. Sometimes he moved like a tiger descending a mountain, unstoppable; sometimes he moved like a nimble ape climbing a branch, light and agile. Each attack landed precisely on the key points of the formation, stirring up waves of energy.

"Brother, this formation is truly mysterious!" Shi Hao said excitedly, "I feel my strength growing!"

"That's because you've merged into the formation," Shi Yi explained. "This formation is called the 'Liang Yi Four Symbols Formation.' I derived it based on the ancient formation Chongtong saw. It can fuse our powers together to unleash even greater power."

"I see." Shi Hao nodded, seemingly understanding, and then asked, "Brother, do you think the Black Nether Ghost King and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord will be fooled?"

Shi Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile: "They are too arrogant and think they can defeat us. They will definitely fall into the trap."

Time passed, the night deepened, and the atmosphere in the valley became increasingly solemn. Shi Yi and Shi Hao held their breath, waiting for the moment when their prey would be caught.

"Here it comes!" Shi Yi suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, two powerful auras approached rapidly from a distance. They were the Black Nether Ghost King and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord!

"Hehehe, two youngsters, hand over your magic treasures obediently, and I can spare your lives!" The voice of the Black Nether Ghost King was like the cry of a night owl, creepy and chilling.

"Hmph, you're unworthy!" Shi Hao snorted coldly, and pointed his bone spear at the Dark Ghost King and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord. "If you want the immortal treasure, it depends on whether you have what it takes!"

“You don’t know how to live or die!” The Blood Shadow Demon Lord shouted angrily. His figure flashed and turned into a blood-red lightning, heading straight for Shi Hao.

"Be careful!" Shi Yi warned.

Shi Hao was prepared. He moved his body to the side to avoid the attack of the Blood Shadow Demon Lord, and at the same time swept his bone spear across to force back the Black Nether Ghost King.

"Activate the formation!" Shi Yi gave an order and suddenly clasped his hands together.

In an instant, the formation shone brightly, and countless golden runes shot up into the sky, transforming into pillars of light that trapped the Black Nether Ghost King and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord inside.

"What is this?!" The faces of the Black Nether Ghost King and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord changed drastically. They felt a powerful force restraining their movements.

"You are courting death!" A cold light flashed in Shi Yi's eyes, and his hands kept changing, controlling the power of the formation and launching a fierce attack on the Black Nether Ghost King and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord.

"Damn it!" The Black Nether Ghost King roared repeatedly, but he was unable to break free from the constraints of the formation and could only watch his power being consumed.

The Blood Shadow Demon Lord was also extremely anxious. He knew that if they continued like this, they would definitely lose. So he sent a message to the Black Nether Ghost King: "Old Ghost, let's join forces and break this formation!"

The Black Nether Ghost King also knew that there was no time to lose, so he nodded and, together with the Blood Shadow Demon Lord, mobilized all his strength and prepared for a desperate fight.

At this moment, Shi Yi's mouth suddenly curled up in a strange arc, and he whispered to himself: "The fish has taken the bait..."

Shi Hao understood what he meant and exchanged a glance with Shi Yi. They both stepped back at the same time and disappeared into the night.
