My brother is Shi Hao

Chapter 8: The Secret of the Ruins, the Light of Inheritance

Suddenly, a huge chessboard appeared in the open space in front of the stone tablet, with black and white chess pieces scattered around, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

"This is..." Shi Hao frowned slightly. He had never seen such a strange chess game.

"This is an ancient formation called 'Chess Game of Heaven and Earth.'" Shi Yi said solemnly, "Only by cracking the game can you pass the test."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space around the chessboard began to distort, transforming into a mist that enveloped Shi Yi and Shi Hao. After three rounds of drinks, night fell, and Shi Village was shrouded in a peaceful starlight. Shi Yi and Shi Hao sat side by side at the entrance of the village, gazing up at the vast starry sky, their thoughts already drifting to the mysterious ruins.

"Brother, what do you think the true inheritance will be?" Shi Hao broke the silence with a hint of expectation in his tone.

Shi Yi shook his head, his eyes deep: "I don't know either, but Fairy Yun said that it will be an important cornerstone on our future path."

"Indeed, Fairy Sister Yun is so powerful, what she said must be right!" Shi Hao clenched his fists, "Brother, let's go explore the ruins tomorrow!"

Shi Yi smiled slightly and ruffled Shi Hao's hair: "Okay, let's challenge again tomorrow!"

The next morning, before the mist had dissipated, Shi Yi and Shi Hao, led by Fairy Yun, once again stepped into the forbidden area shrouded in fog.

"The entrance to the ancient ruins is just ahead." Fairy Yun stopped and pointed to a stone tablet engraved with ancient runes. "This tablet records the method of entering the ruins, but it also hides deadly dangers. Be careful."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao exchanged a glance, each seeing a solemn look in the other's eyes. Shi Yi took a step forward and carefully examined the runes on the stone tablet, a strange light flickering in his pupils.

"These runes..." Shi Yi frowned slightly. He felt that these runes contained powerful power, and any carelessness would lead to terrible consequences.

"Let me try." Shi Hao said, stretching out his palm and pressing it on the stone tablet.

"No!" Fairy Yun exclaimed, but it was too late to stop it.

A powerful force erupted from the stone tablet, instantly knocking Shi Hao back several steps. Shi Hao felt his blood surge, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, which he forcefully swallowed back.

"Xiao Hao!" Shi Yi hurried forward to support Shi Hao and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Shi Hao shook his head and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I was too impulsive."

"The power of this stone tablet is too strong. You are unable to touch it with your current strength." Fairy Yun said in a deep voice, "Let me open the entrance to the ruins."

Fairy Yun spoke, forming seals with her hands and muttering something. As her incantation rang out, the runes on the stone tablet began to emit a dazzling light, and an ancient and mysterious teleportation array gradually appeared before everyone.

"Okay, the entrance is open, you can go in." Fairy Yun said, "Remember, be careful."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped into the teleportation array. After a dizzying moment, they found themselves in a completely new world.

"Is this the ancient relic?" Shi Hao looked around curiously, his eyes full of excitement.

However, Shi Yi's gaze fell on a stone tablet not far away, on which were engraved several ancient characters:

"The first level is a test of wisdom."

Shi Yi's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that our test has just begun..."

Deep within the ancient ruins, a mysterious and desolate atmosphere permeated the air. Shi Yi and Shi Hao stood side by side, their gazes fixed firmly forward.

"The first level, a test of wisdom." Shi Yi softly read the words on the stone tablet, a light shimmering in his pupils, as if he could see through all illusions.

"Brother, be careful!" Shi Hao felt a powerful force approaching and quickly reminded.

Shi Yi nodded slightly, and the light in his pupils became brighter, and he could see through the reality in the fog in an instant.

"Don't worry, everything is under my control." Shi Yi said, reaching out to pick up a black chess piece and gently placing it on the chessboard.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the fog around the chessboard dissipated instantly, and the figures of Shi Yi and Shi Hao reappeared in the same place.

"So awesome!" Shi Hao's eyes were full of admiration. He knew that if Shi Yi had not cracked the chess game in time, they would probably have been lost in the fog.

"Let's go, the real test is still ahead." Shi Yi said, and took the lead to walk towards the depths of the ruins.

The next test is truly thrilling. There's a lava path that tests strength, a gust of wind canyon that tests speed, and a fantasy maze that tests willpower...

However, no matter what kind of test they face, Shi Yi and Shi Hao always manage to overcome it. Shi Yi, relying on the powerful ability of his double pupils, is able to see through all traps and illusions, while Shi Hao, relying on the supreme power of the Supreme Bone, is able to overcome all obstacles fearlessly.

Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the ruins.

I saw an ancient altar standing before my eyes. In the center of the altar, there was an ancient book, emitting a faint light.

"Is this... the true inheritance?" Shi Hao asked, with a trembling in his voice.

Shi Yi didn't say anything, but just walked forward slowly and reached out to open the ancient book.

A powerful force gushed out from the book, instantly enveloping Shi Yi and Shi Hao...

"This is..." Shi Yi only felt a huge amount of information pouring into his mind, as if the door to a new world had opened.

"Brother, I feel my strength..." Shi Hao clenched his fists. He could clearly feel that his strength was increasing at an astonishing speed.

Shi Yi slowly closed his eyes and began to digest the information in his mind. He knew that this ancient book would lead them to a brand new path of cultivation... and this was only the beginning. The ancient altar was bathed in a soft glow. Shi Yi slowly opened his eyes, and starlight shimmered within his pupils, as if holding the secrets of the universe. He looked down at the ancient book in his hands. The ancient words on the pages seemed to come alive, forming a series of mysterious images of cultivation in his mind.

"Brother, what is written in this book?" Shi Hao asked impatiently. He could feel the power surging in his body and desperately wanted to find an outlet.

Shi Yi closed the book, a confident smile on his face. "This is a secret cultivation method left by an ancient great power. It is profound and extensive. We just need to practice it with concentration, and our strength will surely reach a higher level."

So, in the following time, Shi Yi and Shi Hao practiced diligently day and night according to the methods in the secret book. As if summoned by something, the abundant spiritual energy in the ruins madly poured into their bodies, transforming into pure power, constantly strengthening their bodies and souls.

Shi Yi sat cross-legged, his pupils reflecting ancient runes. He formed seals with his hands, directing the power within him to flow along a specific trajectory. As time passed, his aura grew stronger, like a peerless sword about to be unsheathed, its razor-sharp edge exposed.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao was like a ferocious beast in human form, his training methodless and unstructured, yet filled with primal, savage power. He swung his fists, each one imbued with the terrifying power of the universe, shaking the surrounding space.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the ruins, Fairy Yun also discovered a mysterious spring. The water was crystal clear, exuding a refreshing fragrance, imbued with powerful life energy. Fairy Yun sat cross-legged beside the spring, practicing her cultivation techniques, greedily absorbing the energy within. Her once-fairy skin now glowed with a faint jade-like radiance, making her appear even more ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy descending from the heavens.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

On this day, Shi Yi and Shi Hao simultaneously finished their training. They opened their eyes, their brilliance radiating like two bolts of lightning streaking through the night sky. At this moment, their strength was incomparable to before, having reached a whole new level.

"Brother, I feel full of strength now. Even if I face an ancient relic, I dare to fight it!" Shi Hao clenched his fists and said excitedly, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Shi Yi smiled slightly and said, "We still have a long way to go. This is just the beginning." After that, he looked into the depths of the ruins, a gleam in his eyes, "Let's go, we should go and see what secrets are hidden at the end of these ruins..."

"Let's go, it's time to go back." Shi Yi looked back at the road he had come from, his eyes deep. This trip to the ruins had yielded a lot of rewards, and their strength had been further enhanced. But more importantly, he had a greater goal in mind: to lead Shi Village to become stronger and protect this pure land.

Shi Hao naturally understood his brother's thoughts. He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination: "Yes! Let's work together to make Shi Village the strongest village in the Great Wilderness!"

Back in the original stone chamber, Fairy Yun was already waiting. Her aura grew increasingly ethereal, as if she could ascend to heaven at any moment. Seeing the two of them, she nodded gently, a hint of joy in her beautiful eyes. "Congratulations on your great advancements."

"You're welcome, Fairy." Shi Yi smiled in response, then glanced at the mountains of treasures in the stone chamber, "We can't keep these things for ourselves. We should take them back so that all our tribe members can improve their strength."

Shi Hao also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, these are all good things, we can't waste them!"

Fairy Yun looked at them with appreciation and did not refuse. She understood that only when the entire Shi Village became strong could it survive in this wilderness full of dangers.

So, the three of them worked together to move all the treasures out of the stone chamber and prepared to return to Shi Village.

After returning to Shi Village, Shi Yi and Shi Hao unreservedly passed on to their fellow villagers what they had seen and learned from the ruins, as well as what they had learned through cultivation. Under their guidance, the villagers diligently cultivated, their strength advancing by leaps and bounds. Shi Village, once a small and weak village, gradually became a formidable force in the Great Wilderness Mountains.

"Roar!"

However, the peaceful life did not last long. Suddenly, a deafening roar of an animal was heard from the distant sky, breaking the tranquility of the mountains...
