Chapter 29: Yi Lun You Shi
"Yoyo Taishang, the beginning of the people. The Emperor's Pole was established, and the Yi Lun was in place." The patriarch spoke in a low voice, looking at the boundless wilderness, thinking about the lost ancient times.
"Grandfather patriarch, what does this mean, I don't understand." Little Bit was very studious, his large black gem-like eyes fluttering with a longing glow.
Shi Yunfeng stroked his head and said, "In that long ago Taikoo, it was still the beginning of mankind. The Great Middle Way was first constructed, and the principles of eternity have been laid out."
The old patriarch slowly explained, clearing up the doubts for Little Dot from the source, telling him everything he knew and letting him develop a yearning from within, which was tantamount to "planting the Way".
Shi Yunfeng wasn't very strong, but due to his heart's nature, he naturally did all this, and did this when Shi Hao was very young, which was really equivalent to "planting the way".
"The truth of order is spread in nature, everything has a spirit, and some intelligent races favored by the heavens are even more representative of it, and the true righteousness of the Dao is tangibly embodied in their bodies."
"Grandfather Patriarch, do you mean those primordial runes, the imprints branded on the precious bones of the ancient relic species?" Little Dot's eyes were very spiritual.
"You're very smart." The patriarch smiled and complimented him.
"The ancient ancestors had long noticed these, and in their fights with the fierce beasts of the flood plains, they slowly figured out some of the rules of heaven and earth, and through the bones of the most powerful creatures, they gradually realized some simple divine abilities."
And that's how the bone text gradually developed, the Human Race borrowed the method of other races to figure out the way of the order of heaven and earth, and finally gradually prospered from being weak one step at a time.
"Unfortunately, the true supreme beings of the Human Race are still pitifully few, while the Ancient Fierce Beasts are simply too powerful, as long as one appears, they can exterminate several of humanity's superb clans with the lift of a hand."
Comparatively speaking, the Human Race was still weak, and many races towered over them as if they were gods!
In fact, the ancient ancestors had beliefs and worshipped the gods from time to time, which was actually worshipping a certain supreme creature.
"Grandpa Clan Chief, tell me more details." Little Dot was eager to learn more about the past and the ferocious beasts that were as powerful as gods.
"My knowledge is limited as well, grandpa has only traveled out 80,000 miles of land, although it sounds amazing, we don't know how many 80,000 miles there are in this domain of ours, and a conservative estimate would be that one would have to travel at least millions of miles before reaching the end."
Shi Yunfeng whispered softly, the places he had traveled to didn't seem small, but they were just a corner of the world compared to this large domain, not to mention the mysterious world beyond the end of the earth, which those other large domains simply couldn't comprehend.
"Learning a hundred thousand scrolls of law is better than traveling a hundred thousand miles, one day, if you are strong enough, it's better to go and see the outside world on your own. Grandpa is old and doesn't have that opportunity anymore, nor does he have that kind of ability." Shi Yunfeng sighed lightly.
"Grandpa, I know that you have a dark wound on your body, in the future, I will definitely pick the legendary Heaven and Earth Treasure Pill, heal your body, and take you with me to see the outside world." Little Dot said.
Shi Yunfeng was a bit bitter, but also happy, his face full of wrinkles spreading out as he laughed, "As long as you grow up safely and everything goes well, grandpa will be relieved of everything."
He suffered a weird dark injury back then, and needed a special kind of precious medicine, but even those big clans with millions of population could not come up with it, so it was not easy to cure it.
"Ow, Grandpa Patriarch is speaking the law again, all come and listen." A group of children wailed. It was no longer like the old days, the children no longer resisted, the more they craved for power, and every time Shi Yunfeng explained the Bone Text, a group of children would run and listen carefully.
And now, there were already a few children who had initially cultivated brilliant runes on their bodies, without a doubt, they could embark on this path in the future, destined to be far stronger than their fathers.
"You bunch of leather monkeys, hurry up and sit down." The patriarch laughed and scolded.
The fresh wind blew, and on the charred thick willow wood, a crystalline shoot swung with the wind, a group of children sat around an old man, listening to his sermon under the tree.
"Mastering the Bone Text is like you picking up a broadsword and holding a bow, but what if you put down these weapons? The root of cultivation is still to strengthen yourselves."
Some of the children were confused, and some of them drifted off in thought.
"Bone text is just a form, a means, you need to truly turn it into your own power to be on the right path, otherwise everything is rootless, the only way is to be strong in your own body."
"How do I have to do it?"
"Bone culture into a part of oneself, so that the flesh and bones such as those races favored by the heavens, and the natural integration of heaven and earth, otherwise imitation is imitation, it is difficult to play out the real power."
The patriarch explained, according to his meaning, the bone text was just like the muscles and hair, truly mingling with oneself and turning into a part of the body before it was considered one's own power.
"Patriarch quickly teach us."
"Don't rush, take your time." Shi Yunfeng said.
In fact, using runes would damage one's own essence, just like when Little Bit used his treasure art, it consumed a great deal, and if he fought continuously, he might injure himself and weaken his blood qi.
Strictly speaking, learning Bone Texts, not being able to do so is fine, if one is accomplished and is at a particular stage, always moving it will cause serious harm to the body.
After hearing the matriarch's detailed explanation, the children's faces went white for a while.
"Don't be afraid, just pay a little attention, as long as you don't give up your life and keep casting primordial treasure arts, you guys don't have a grasp of the treasure arts' mysteries like Little Bit does. Moreover, even if you lose part of your essence, you can make it up."
Not only was this the case for Stone Village's Bone Text, it was the same for the great clans in the outside world, if you want to achieve something, you have to do this at the beginning, and the initiates all have to go through this.
"Little Dot's bone text attainment is already deep enough to learn how to change the skill of this situation."
After truly getting started and reaching a certain level of attainment, it was a different kind of cultivation, the matriarch moved a few bone books and taught Little Bit all the final runes.
In the following days, the matriarch gave daily sermons and imparted the children, teaching them differently depending on the person.
Obviously, Little Bit was a long way ahead of the others, even if it was placed in a superb clan in the outside world, its natural talent would dazzle people.
These days, Little Dot was mesmerized, listening to the lectures and studying the Bone Text every day, a happy smile on his little face, his big eyes narrowing into the shape of a crescent moon.
At the initial stage, the bone text had to consume its own essence and blood to be nurtured, allowing it to grow. But after it had truly taken shape, and had deepened in comprehension, it could be reversed.
"Let the runes culture into the body, become haze, become divine sunlight, one rune is like an eternal divine furnace, in every inch of flesh and blood, quenching the creation of heaven and earth, attracting divine essence into the body, and completely transforming the physical body and the spirit from then on."
This was Little Bit's next path, he had already laid a good foundation, his base was amazingly solid, the runes had long since taken shape, it wasn't very laborious to make this transformation.
In just a few days, Little Bit had extraordinary results.
When the Treasure Art was performed again, every inch of his flesh and blood glowed and the runes were hidden, as if a treasure furnace was constantly supplying his essence, making him feel full of spirit and his body was soothed.
This result watched Shi Yunfeng dumbfounded, not unaware of the little guy's amazing natural talent, but yet once again, he was shocked.
It had only been a few days, little Shi Hao had achieved subversive results, if it was a regular person it would take a few years at the very least, while if it was a genius it would take a few months.
"I expected you to need more than two months, but according to the current speed, one month is about right, even twenty days will do."
Little Shi Hao's performance was too stunning, causing a group of clan elders to laugh openly like children, while Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao and the other young and strong young men all grinned widely, revealing their snow-white teeth, and couldn't stop laughing.
"A cub that is comparable to an ancient ferocious beast, ah, in the future, our Stone Village might see a supreme being that can bloodily compete with an ancient True Harvest and Pureblood Pixie."
"This is a child given to our Stone Village by the heavens, naturally far beyond the ordinary."
The group of people were happy, and the dinner in the stone village that day was sumptuous, with all kinds of beast meat either steamed or roasted golden and oily, and the aroma wafted all over the village, making people salivate.
"Don't get too carried away, in that distant end of the earth, there are unimaginable super great clans, and within that prosperous and flourishing frontier, there are surely heavenly wizards as well." The patriarch admonished.
Of course, whether it was compliments or words of admonishment, the adults didn't say them in front of the children, fearing that Little Bit and the others would be affected because of it.
In the time that followed, Shi Hao progressed at a rapid pace, every inch of flesh and blood in his body glistening with crystal light, as if there were one ancient god after another sitting on a plate, the runes transforming and reorganizing, completely changing his physical state.
Shi Yunfeng was very excited and happy, if it continued like this, it might not take twenty days, only half a month for Little Bit to succeed, and then he would be able to perform the baptism.
"Grandfather Patriarch, how is the road ahead?"
"The road is long, you are now in the 'Moving Blood' realm, it's far from the time when you need to pick up the path ahead on your own. Some of the true human supreme beings will eventually give birth to sacred bones, appearing with their own primordial marks and having their own exclusive primordial treasure techniques!"
"That's really something to aspire to!" Little Bit clenched his small fists, his wide eyes glowing.
Shi Yunfeng said, "The ancient ancestors have traveled a long way, and the road is still long. When you're strong enough, you can go out of this great wilderness to have a look, there are some things I don't have the means to teach you, they're all in the outside world."
As he said these words, Patriarch Shi Yunfeng's expression shifted as he touched a piece of glistening white bone in his bosom, his body trembling.
"Yoyo Taishang, the people's syncopated beginning. Huangji Zhaojian, Yi Lun Youxie ...... " Little Dot leisurely chanted, looking out at the boundless great wilderness, his eyes seemed to penetrate the endless mountains, seeing another vast heaven and earth.
