"These two things."
Shi Yi's Double Pupil was constantly bleeding, looking extremely terrifying. This indicated that the true level of the beast bone and beast hide was not something he could casually peek at in his current state.
Although under the gaze of a Double Pupil user, there were no secrets in the world, the premise was that Shi Yi had to be strong enough. In his current state, he couldn't truly display the divine might of the Double Pupil.
"The Rain God Decree of the Rain Clan, the foundation of the Stone Clan's Martial King Manor, I've also secretly observed them with my Double Pupil, but I've never felt such immense pressure. What level of supreme treasures are this beast bone and beast hide?"
Shi Yi leaned against the headboard, his head throbbing with pain. He slowly raised his hand and wiped away the bloodstains below his eyes, no longer forcing his Double Pupil to observe the beast bone and beast hide.
After a while.
"Willow Deity?" Shi Yi tentatively called out to the air.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
The Willow Deity didn't respond. Shi Yi sighed slightly, his body weakly falling back onto the bed, his eyes looking empty, inexplicably giving people a feeling of heartache.
It was at this moment.
"Shi Yi, those two things come from the Upper Realm's Nine Heavens Ten Earths. They are extraordinary and not something you, in your current state, can casually peek at. In the future, don't force your Double Pupil to observe things you can't see."
The Willow Deity's voice was somewhat helpless. She didn't want to pay attention to Shi Yi; she didn't want him to rely on her too much. But seeing his pitiful appearance, she felt a hint of reluctance.
Logically speaking.
An existence of her level wouldn't have excessive sympathy. She had witnessed far too much death, even the destruction of worlds and the extinction of the Universe and Cosmos countless times.
However, Shi Yi was very different to her. Although she had only known Shi Yi for three years, this young man with an unstable Dao heart had successfully left a mark in her heart.
In her life, which spanned an immeasurable length of time, there were too many passersby. There were only a few people whose names she could remember, but Shi Yi had made her remember him as a person.
"Willow Deity, what secrets are hidden in Stone Village? Why are these two ancestral artifacts so terrifying? Even my Double Pupil..."
It wasn't Shi Yi's ignorance.
In his previous life, he didn't know much about the details of the Perfect World. Some aspects were crystal clear, while others were like having ten apertures with nine blocked.
Completely ignorant.
If you asked who the female leads and supporting female characters were!
He could count them on his fingers and tell you: Yun Xi, Qing Yi, Willow Deity, Witch, Moon Chan, A Man, Hu Niu, Hong Huang, Double Pupil girl, Qin Yining, Yu Yuexian, Yu Zimo, and analyze the body data of each female lead and supporting female character frame by frame.
If you asked who the male leads and supporting male characters were?
Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao.
Desolate's brother, Shi Yi.
Everyone else was a passerby.
But if you asked about the details of the Perfect World...
Shi Yi's mind would turn into mush, completely without any impression of this aspect.
This really wasn't Shi Yi's fault.
He didn't know that after death he would transmigrate to another world and eventually be born into someone with the same name as him. Therefore, he wasn't clear about the general direction of the future.
Even due to the global nuclear war, the world was on a countdown to destruction, and Holy Ruins, one of the perfect trilogy, only wrote up to the line, I have always been here.
"Don't ask, Shi Yi. You don't need to know too much right now. You just need to know that in the eyes of the people from the Upper Realm's Nine Heavens Ten Earths, you people from the Lower Realm's Eight Regions are all guilty."
After saying this.
The Willow Deity completely fell silent. She understood Shi Yi's curiosity, but she couldn't tell him everything. He was far from ready to know the truth.
Shi Yi understood the Willow Deity's silence.
This was just her personality; if she didn't want to talk, she wouldn't.
Time passed silently.
After a little while.
Shi Yi, who had no success researching the beast bones and beast skins, directly summoned six Celestial Passages, threw the beast bones and beast skins next to the rune bone fragments, and then continuously took things out.
He took out several wooden barrels, which were filled with tempting, bright red beef. The muscles on the surface of the beef were still twitching, showing how fresh it was.
Then he moved the Black Cauldron that the Old Clan Leader Shi Yunfeng had given him, snapped his fingers at the air, and the Celestial Passage floating behind him sprayed out clean water.
The water continuously washed away the dust remaining inside the Black Cauldron. He didn't know how long this Black Cauldron had been empty; the dust inside was so thick that a layer of mud could be scraped off.
But it didn't matter. Shi Yi had stored a large amount of water, dry firewood, and other daily necessities in his six Celestial Passages. Washing a cauldron clean was not a problem.
There was no need to worry about the water used for washing the cauldron. Shi Yi's house was near the stream, and he had specially dug a drain so that this water could return to the stream.
After Shi Yi had completely washed the Black Cauldron clean.
He reached into the Celestial Passage, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out a large pile of bright red peppers and some edible fresh vegetables.
Actually, he didn't need to reach in. Shi Yi could completely use his divine sense to take things out of the Celestial Passage, just like when he snapped his fingers and clean water gushed out.
But he had to say.
The Celestial Passage was simply incredibly convenient.
Not only could it absorb the energy of the world outside to replenish his own consumption, but it could also be used as a portable space. The person who first developed the Celestial Passage Realm was definitely a genius.
In Shi Yi's heart.
Cultivation wasn't just for fighting, but for living a better life, protecting himself while also protecting those around him, rather than simply cultivating for fighting and killing.
Perhaps, this was also one of the reasons why Shi Yi's Dao heart was not firm. His Dao was too small, too selfish, completely lacking the great courage to sacrifice himself to save the myriad worlds.
For example.
Dark turmoil?
As long as Shi Yi had the ability to protect those around him and keep himself safe, whether it was dark or not was none of his business. Unless he had the ability to easily crush those troublemakers, he would not risk his life for outsiders.
There's an old Chinese saying that goes, "When poor, cultivate oneself; when prosperous, benefit the world."
Without that ability, there was no need to take everything upon himself.
This home, this country, this world, it's not just mine, it's yours too.
Other matters.
Shi Yi didn't know much, but he knew a little about the woman, about the Willow Deity. He knew she had been betrayed by her own people, which was why she had fallen to this state.
She was even reduced to living a precarious existence in the small Stone Village within the Lower Realm's Eight Regions.
Even an existence of her level was betrayed by her own people.
The so-called Upper Realm, the so-called Nine Heavens Ten Earths, were not good things.
Half an hour passed.
"Gurgle!" The sound of bubbles bursting.
The water in the Black Cauldron boiled, oil splattered, and the aroma wafted through the window, even reaching Aunt Hu's house next door. Unfortunately, Hu Niu wouldn't have the pleasure of eating today.
Although she didn't eat much the night before last, it was the meat of an Ancient Descendant after all. Even a small piece of meat contained immense energy, and she hadn't finished digesting it yet.
Furthermore, she had undergone the True Blood Baptism of an Ancient Descendant today. Her small body contained too many things waiting to be absorbed, so it was temporarily impossible for her to eat at the same table as Shi Yi.
This was a matter of individual physique. Shi Yi was someone who possessed a hundred thousand jin of divine power in the Blood Moving Realm, comparable to the strongest younglings of Pure-Blooded Ferocious Beasts. His absorption and digestion capabilities were many times stronger than Hu Niu's.
"Willow Deity, would you like to eat some too?"
Shi Yi prepared two sets of bowls and chopsticks and extended an invitation to the void. However, he felt that the possibility of the Willow Deity agreeing was small, but this step was essential.
Since she had agreed to Shi Yi last time and eaten his food, it meant she could accept the ways of the mortal world and was not an aloof being standing high above the Nine Heavens.
In short.
The Willow Deity could choose not to come, but Shi Yi could not choose not to invite.
And at this moment.
Regarding Shi Yi's invitation, the Willow Deity felt annoyed, but not particularly angry, because the feeling of being remembered at all times was quite pleasant to her.
If Shi Yi had forgotten her and was merely using her, she might not have felt this annoyance, but she would have gradually distanced herself from Shi Yi in her heart.
In the past.
For this world, for the common people behind her, she fought bloody battles, striking fear into the hearts of the Foreign Realm Kings, none daring to step half a step into the Nine Heavens Ten Earths. But who cared about her sacrifices?
Now, a child with an unstable Dao heart, although he had unrealistic fantasies and delusions about her.
But he was a person who knew gratitude, causing different feelings to emerge in her calm heart lake.
About a few breaths passed.
In the center of the large Willow Tree in the heart of Stone Village, a bright green light flickered in the center of the tree crown. Soon, this Willow Tree became empty, leaving only the hollowed-out willow wood.
"Put less chili next time!"
Without any fancy knocking, the Willow Deity's human form appeared directly beside Shi Yi. She calmly picked up the bowls and chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef, and began to cook hotpot in the Black Cauldron.
"Understood!"
Shi Yi looked at the Willow Deity beside him and felt that she seemed truly lonely.
Could it be that all this time...
She had been alone?
