Primordial Era: At the beginning, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor invited me to drink beast milk, and

The pavilion master sat in his seat, stroking his chin as he fell into deep thought.

As the leader of a sect, being surpassed so quickly by his disciple certainly left him with mixed feelings.

But soon, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to have regained his energy.

He stood up, stroked his beard and smiled, pacing back and forth in the main hall.

"Tell me, in the entire Dao Asking Pavilion, no, in the entire Perfect World, how many people can teach a disciple who surpasses themselves?"

"That's real skill!"

The elders sitting to the side shook their heads and chuckled. They had worked with the Pavilion Master for many years and knew his old friend's character well.

"Master, you have quite the thick skin. You were just feeling embarrassed, and now you're already trying to take credit."

Another elder joined in the banter.

"Exactly, I don't know who said they would discipline Qin Yuan properly, but now look what's happened, the disciple has managed to beat his master to a pulp."

The elders chimed in with their own words, teasing the Pavilion Master.

But the pavilion master was completely oblivious, still immersed in his own joy, utterly unconcerned about their teasing.

The previously silent Patriarch Mu Yan gently tapped the table, and the entire hall immediately fell silent.

He slowly began to speak: "Have you all considered that Qin Yuan has reached such a level at such a young age, which is beyond the realm of genius?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.

Whether it's cultivation speed or combat performance, Qin Yuan has far exceeded the norm.

Such talent is extremely rare in history.

In the Perfect World, the master-disciple relationship between cultivators is more like a modern academic system.

Disciples can study under multiple teachers and learn different techniques and lineages.

This is completely different from the master-disciple relationship in the prehistoric world, where there is a continuous lineage and a profound sense of gratitude.

This is why Qin Yuan felt no pressure whatsoever, even though he was nominally under the patronage of the Dao Asking Pavilion Master.

In his view, this was nothing more than taking an elective course.

After all, in the perfect world, who hasn't heard a few famous teachers preach?

Just as everyone at the Asking Pavilion was discussing the matter, a turbulent situation was brewing at the Rain King's Mansion in the Stone Kingdom.

At the main gate of the Rain Prince's Mansion, a boy of eleven or twelve years old stood proudly.

Although still young, he has already shown remarkable talent.

Several Inscription Realm experts from the Rain King's Mansion surrounded Shi Hao.

They held various magical artifacts and set up layers of defensive formations.

However, these defenses, which seemed impregnable to ordinary cultivators, were as flimsy as paper in front of Shi Hao.

Shi Hao raised his right hand, and a dazzling light condensed in his palm.

His palm strike appeared casual, yet it contained astonishing power.

The ancient gate tower above the main gate of the Rain King's Mansion collapsed with a crash under this palm strike, turning into flying rubble.

This scene filled everyone in the Rain Prince's Mansion with shock and anger.

For a child of about ten years old to dare to provoke the Rain Prince's Mansion in the street is simply the greatest challenge to their authority.

The retainers of the Rain King's Palace unleashed various magical techniques and runes.

Some condensed into sharp sword energy, some transformed into thick shield walls, and others morphed into huge beast-shaped phantoms.

However, these attacks were easily neutralized by Shi Hao, as if a gentle breeze were blowing on his face.

Shi Hao was enveloped in a faint halo, and all attacks vanished upon contact with this halo.

An elder of the Rain King's Mansion held an ancient jade talisman, which was the mansion's most prized possession.

The jade talisman unleashed thousands of runes, which intertwined in the air to form a net that enveloped Shi Hao.

Shi Hao simply leaped lightly, his entire body soaring into the air.

With a casual wave of his hand, the runes withered and scattered like autumn leaves.

Such skills are far beyond what one should expect for someone his age.

The more the people from the Rain Prince's Mansion fought, the more frightened they became.

They discovered that this young boy could easily neutralize all the secret techniques they were so proud of.

This strength has far exceeded their expectations.

Some of the older retainers began to discuss when the Rain King's Mansion had offended such a terrifying child.

Just as everyone in the Rain Prince's Mansion was lost in thought, Shi Hao slowly landed on the ground.

He took a step forward, and the people from the Rain Prince's Mansion instinctively stepped back.

They had already witnessed the child's strength and dared not make any further rash moves.

"I've come here only to reclaim what is rightfully mine."

"My name is Shi Hao."

Upon hearing this, the entire courtyard of the Rain Prince's Mansion fell into a deathly silence.

The elder worshippers' expressions changed drastically; of course, they remembered this incident.

Although it was publicly claimed that Ishihara was born with two supreme beings, the higher-ups in the mansion knew that the origin of those supreme bones was not honorable.

The recent visit of the Great Demon God has spread this secret among even more people.

They all thought the child was long dead, but they never expected him to reappear in this way.

Just then, the men from the Yue King's Palace rushed over.

They had obviously come to reinforce after receiving the news, but they all froze in place after hearing Shi Hao's words.

What shocked them even more was the strength Shi Hao displayed.

How did a child stripped of his supreme bone grow to this level in just a few years?

At this moment, the reason why Ishihara lost the battle against Ishihiro becomes self-evident.

The atmosphere in the courtyard grew increasingly heavy as Shi Hao's appearance shattered the carefully woven lies of the two princely mansions.

The people in the Yue Prince's mansion looked at each other, realizing that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.

This child, whom they once abandoned, is now showing potential far exceeding that of Ishihara.

Some people even began to consider whether they should change their strategy and try to win Shi Hao back.

Shi Ziteng stood in the crowd and noticed the strangeness in everyone's eyes.

As a member of the Yue King's mansion, he understood the thoughts of these old foxes all too well.

Shi Ziteng straightened his robes and stepped forward.

"Elders, don't forget what happened back then."

"This wretched child has nothing left for my Yue Prince's Mansion but hatred."

This remark elicited a silent sneer from many of the elders.

They cursed inwardly, "Why is there only hatred? Don't you, Shi Ziteng, understand the reason?"

But Shi Ziteng's words are not without merit.

Over the years, Ishihara and the Yue King's Mansion have shared weal and woe.

In comparison, Shi Hao is more of an uncertain factor.

An elder with white hair and beard stepped out from the crowd, leaning on a cane, and slowly walked towards Shi Hao.

"Shi Hao, you are also a member of my Yue Prince's Mansion, why must you kill your own brother?"

"We are all family, bound by blood. Let Ishihara's parents apologize to you for this."

"As long as you are willing to return to the Yue Prince's Mansion, we can give you a suitable position. With you and the Ishihara brothers working together, the Yue Prince's Mansion will surely rise to a higher level in the future."

The other elders also echoed.

In their view, rather than being enemies with Shi Hao, it would be better to find a way to win him back.

After all, blood is thicker than water; as long as enough benefits are offered, no hatred is too deep to be resolved.
