Chapter 2 Hunting at the Sacred Lake
Of course, Shi Ziling could not be such a sage.
He wanted to continue demanding money from his wife right after she gave birth.
He simply carried Qin Yining back to the soft couch and covered her with a blanket.
Seeing the shy blush on his wife's face, he was filled with tenderness and leaned down to give her a light kiss on the forehead.
"Get some rest, I'm going to check on Hao'er."
He walked to the cradle and looked at the exquisitely beautiful little one inside.
Little Shihao was sleeping soundly.
Shi Ziling stretched out his finger and gently rubbed Shi Hao's chubby cheeks.
The system notification sounded again.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for checking in with Shi Hao and receiving the system reward: Eight-Nine Arcane Technique]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for checking in at the Martial King's Mansion and receiving the reward: Golden Light Across the Ground]
Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques!
Golden light shooting across the ground?
Shi Ziling was startled.
These are all the supreme methods of the True Lord Erlang of Qingyuan Miaodao.
Especially the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, once mastered, grants the physical body sainthood, making one impervious to all magic, and possesses seventy-two transformations, infinitely wondrous.
"nice one!"
He was overjoyed. With this technique, he would be invincible among his peers, not only in the lower realm but also in the upper realm.
In the following days.
While taking good care of his wife and children, Shi Ziling began to study the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques".
This technique is profound and complex, but with the aid of his divine eye, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort in his practice.
Qin Yining's body has almost recovered. When she is cultivating in Shi Ziling, she will hold Xiao Shihao and watch him quietly from the side.
On this day, after Shi Ziling and Qin Yining woke up, they dressed neatly and led Shi Hao to a palace.
"Ziling, why are you here so early?"
Upon seeing Shi Ziling's family, Shi Zhongtian burst into laughter and walked over, reaching out to tease little Shi Hao.
"We're going on an autumn hunt today, so it's a good opportunity to take Hao'er to broaden his horizons."
Shi Ziling smiled.
"Alright, you keep a close eye on my precious grandson and make sure he's not frightened."
Shi Zhongtian only had eyes for his grandson, not his son, which made the surrounding elderly people laugh out loud.
These are all elders of the Martial King's Mansion, and they are all very powerful.
Shi Ziling appears gentle and respectful, but in reality, he has already sentenced some people to death.
"Now that everyone's here, let's set off."
Shi Zhongtian pulled over a ferocious beast, looked at Shi Ziling, and said, "Ziling, you sit here with Yining and Hao'er."
"Father, no need, I have a mount."
Shi Ziling smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and a golden light flew out from the cave, hovering in the air before quickly transforming into a three-headed giant dragon.
"roar!"
The three-headed dragon roared, radiating divine power, which terrified the many ferocious beasts below.
If it weren't for the crowd shouting at him, he would have already been prostrate on the ground.
"An ancient remnant?"
"Absolutely, and the bloodline is extremely pure."
Shi Yuantang stared intently at the three-headed dragon, his brows furrowed slightly.
He lowered his head, his eyes becoming inscrutable.
"As expected of my son, he is truly extraordinary."
Shi Zhongtian laughed heartily, his heart filled with pride.
As an elder, the stronger the child becomes, the happier he is.
"Set off!"
The group set off.
Shi Ziling, along with Qin Yining and Shi Hao, sat on the head of the three-headed dragon and followed behind the group.
The hunting grounds were a large lake.
The area is crystal clear and incredibly beautiful, with an abundance of spiritual energy that makes it perfect for cultivation.
Numerous rare birds and animals roam the shore, including many ancient species.
Such a sacred lake contains both opportunities and dangers, and ordinary people dare not approach it.
However, the people of Prince Wu's mansion did not have this concern.
Ahead lay tens of thousands of fierce cavalry, atop powerful, ferocious beasts sat soldiers in gleaming armor, their helmets pointing skyward, shimmering with a cold metallic sheen, exuding an aura of grim determination.
When they arrived at the sacred lake, they did not participate in the hunt, but instead stood guard in all directions.
People from the Wu King's Palace are enjoying the scenery and hunting.
Shi Ziling retrieved the three-headed dragon, and with his wife and children, he looked at the beautiful scenery around him and felt happy.
A flock of brightly colored birds of prey, which were resting here, became enraged when disturbed.
They soared into the sky, each six or seven meters long, their feathers glowing, and divine flames burning within them.
"Hey!"
The birds of prey cried out and flew toward the crowd.
Far from being afraid, the people of Prince Wu's mansion were quite excited and took up their bows to shoot birds.
One of the bird kings was seventeen or eighteen meters long, its body shimmering with five-colored divine light, and its wings were dazzlingly beautiful, as if surrounded by divine light, causing tens of thousands of iron cavalry around it to tremble with fear.
It let out a long cry, bursting forth with divine light that shot into the sky, startling everyone and causing their faces to change color. Its power shook the sacred lake.
"It's a very powerful remnant species, with the blood of an ancient divine bird flowing through its veins. It's a rare and precious medicine, which can be used as a medicinal ingredient for my grandson."
Shi Zhongtian laughed loudly, took out a giant bow, which exuded a fierce killing intent.
"Father, there's no need for you to help with these little chicks. I can handle it."
Shi Ziling transformed into a golden ray of light, shooting out from the ground and arriving in front of the phoenix in the blink of an eye.
The three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand thrust straight forward, carrying golden light and emitting bursts of wind and thunder sounds, exuding terrifying power and swaying with endless divine radiance.
The descendant of the ancient divine bird cried out in alarm as it collided with the three-pointed double-edged sword, producing a deafening roar, like thunder striking a drum.
In an instant, endless rays of light erupted, transforming into an energy storm.
A furious roar.
That terrifying descendant of the ancient divine bird was injured.
A wound was slashed open on its stomach, dripping with blood, and divine light was constantly eroding its flesh.
It panicked and dared not attack again. It transformed into a five-colored divine light and rushed into the clouds, about to escape.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Shi Ziling made another move, transforming into golden light and closely following behind the ancient remnant, his three-pointed double-edged sword slashing down.
Chi!
A terrifying divine light erupted, the beam piercing the sky and tracing a horrifying trajectory.
The phoenix let out a miserable cry and was almost split in two on the spot.
Shi Ziling grabbed the phoenix by the neck, landed gracefully, and after a few leaps, returned to the crowd.
"Ziling, your strength has improved quite a bit. You were able to kill a powerful phoenix with just two strikes."
Even Zi Teng has to go through a major battle.
At such a young age, with such methods, this is likely to shake the capital.
Shi Yuantang exclaimed in admiration.
Upon hearing this, a young man behind him paused for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly before returning to normal.
"Brother Ziling is exceptionally intelligent and has outstanding talent. He has always been the pride of our Wuwang Mansion. I am only a few years older than him and not worth mentioning."
Shi Ziteng smiled.
"You are all the future of the Martial Prince's Mansion; only by uniting can you become stronger."
Seeing his son's cultivation level, Shi Zhongtian was extremely proud, but he did not lavish praise on him.
Just say a few more words of praise in private.
Now that they've just gained recognition, continuing to praise them would be excessive and would hurt the feelings of the other brothers.
He took out a silver knife and walked towards Shi Ziling.
"Come, Ziling, let me take your precious blood."
