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

The old man's words carried a mixture of comfort and pity.

Little did he know that this attitude only hurt Shi Hao's heart more.

Everyone present nodded in agreement, as if such a casual apology could erase the deep-seated hatred of the past.

They even started talking about what benefits they would give Shi Hao and how they would arrange his future.

Shi Hao's originally cold and stern face suddenly twisted, and then he burst into a chilling laugh.

His figure paced back and forth in the courtyard, his finger trembling as he pointed at the crowd.

"You old fogies... When my bones were being dug out back then, did you see any elders come out to stop it? Now you're pretending to be merciful?"

Shi Hao stopped and scanned the faces of everyone present.

"Why didn't you say anything about blood being thicker than water back then? Why didn't you talk about deep brotherhood?"

The old man's face instantly darkened, and his hand holding the cane trembled slightly.

He straightened his back and looked down at Shi Hao.

"How dare you! I gave you kind advice, but you didn't appreciate it."

"No wonder he was expelled from the Prince of Yue's mansion back then. He has no manners whatsoever, he deserved it..."

Before he finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from Shi Hao's body.

In an instant, the entire courtyard was enveloped in a sacred light.

The runes shimmered around him, as if they were a manifestation of the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

It turns out that the moment he stepped into the Inscription Realm, he had already inscribed the runes of the Original True Explanation into his body.

Over the years, his physical body has become increasingly powerful through several transformations.

The power unleashed at this moment had already surpassed the limits of ordinary Inscription Realm cultivators.

The boy in the light seemed to have become a different person, surrounded by countless mysterious runes, each rune containing unimaginable power.

The runes intertwined to form a complete system of the Great Dao.

The moment Shi Hao took a step out, the ground of the entire courtyard trembled.

The elders who had been lecturing retreated, their faces filled with horror.

They never expected that a boy of just over ten years old could unleash such terrifying power.

Just as Shi Hao's momentum reached its peak, several elders of the Yue Prince's Mansion suddenly sprang into action.

As if they had been prepared, they quickly formed a mysterious formation, each holding an ancient jade box in their hands.

The jade box is a lustrous bluish-white color, and is engraved with intricate runes.

These runes resonated with each other, gradually lighting up as the elders infused them with their true essence.

Several elders sat cross-legged, making hand seals and chanting mantras.

As the chanting of incantations rose and fell, the runes on the surface of the jade box became increasingly bright, eventually transforming into streams of light that flowed into the box.

"Sword formation, start!"

With a low shout, the jade box burst open.

In an instant, countless sword lights shot into the sky, weaving into a net in the air.

Each flying sword radiated a sharp, cold light, and ancient runes were engraved on its blade.

After circling once in the air, the flying swords suddenly swooped down and swept towards Shi Hao.

The sword energy crisscrossed, forming a huge sword array that completely enveloped the area where Shi Hao was located.

Wherever the sword formation passed, the bluestone ground paved with special materials was easily cut open as if it were tofu.

These are not ordinary floor tiles, but carefully selected spiritual stones, crafted through countless processes.

Even this hard spirit stone ground was easily cut through, which shows how terrifying the power of this sword formation is.

Wherever the sword energy passed, it left deep furrows in the ground.

Just as the sword formation reached its peak, an unusual fluctuation suddenly emanated from the heavens and earth.

A tiny crack appeared in the void, which rapidly expanded, revealing the endless chaotic energy behind it.

A figure stepped out from the crack; it was Qin Yuan.

The moment Qin Yuan appeared, the entire space seemed to freeze.

The aura emanating from him instantly swept across the entire area, impacting the souls of everyone present like a monstrous wave.

Some elders and guards with weaker cultivation levels were unable to withstand the pressure and their legs gave way, causing them to kneel on the ground.

Even the elders who were in charge of the sword formation felt unprecedented pressure, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Qin Yuan's gaze swept across the entire scene, and when he saw Shi Hao shrouded in the sword formation, he was immediately enraged.

The void trembled, and the world changed color.

"Who dares to touch my brother!"

This angry shout was filled with supreme authority, causing the entire Rain Prince's Mansion to tremble.

The distant pavilions collapsed with a deafening roar, and the artificial hill in the courtyard instantly turned to dust.

One of the flying swords in the sword formation suddenly broke free from the formation's control and shot towards Qin Yuan.

This flying sword is imbued with powerful restrictive energy, and its blade emits a dazzling light.

However, Qin Yuan simply raised his finger and flicked it casually.

The seemingly simple movements contain terrifying power.

The runes on the flying sword shattered the moment it touched his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, the entire flying sword broke in half, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

As the sword was destroyed, the elder who controlled it also suffered a terrible backlash.

He felt as if his internal organs were being torn apart by a thousand knives, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing their clan's protective flying sword easily destroyed, the people of the Yue Prince's Mansion were immediately thrown into panic.

"How is this possible? That's the most precious treasure of my Yue King's Mansion!"

"This sword formation was personally crafted by an ancient master craftsman; even Nascent Soul Realm experts dare not directly confront it. How could it be..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining seven elders immediately activated their sword formation to launch a counterattack.

The seven flying swords came fiercely, attacking Qin Yuan with overwhelming force, and their power was unimaginable.

However, Qin Yuan remained expressionless as he slowly raised his right fist.

In an instant, mysterious array patterns appeared around him.

These patterns intertwine into a net, emanating a chilling vibration.

Qin Yuan unleashed a punch, causing the void to tremble.

The seven flying swords stopped in mid-air the moment they hit the barrier.

They trembled violently, as if making a final struggle.

The next moment, all seven flying swords shattered simultaneously, turning into countless fragments that fell to the ground.

The entire Yue King's Palace fell into a deathly silence.

The elders, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now showed fear once again.

The old man who had previously scolded and berated Shi Hao took a step forward, suppressing his fear.

"Qin Yuan, this matter concerns the internal affairs of my Yue Prince's Mansion. Please do not interfere."

These words were spoken politely, a stark contrast to his previous arrogant attitude towards Shi Hao.

Qin Yuan's displayed strength had forced the elders of the Yue King's Mansion to lower their guard.

"Outsider? How could I be an outsider?"

“I come from Xiaohe Village, and I am Shi Hao’s cousin.”

This statement was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up tremendous waves.

The elders present looked at each other in disbelief. They never dreamed that Qin Yuan, who was famous throughout the world, would come from Xiaohe Village, the first ancestral home of the Shi Kingdom.

This news was significant enough to cause a stir throughout the entire Stone Kingdom.
