The Heavens: Man Covers the Heavens, Refines Treasures to Become an Emperor
Chapter 279 Supreme Baking Furnace
The little guy finished his training, with a wisp of divine light still lingering around him.
He stretched his body, full of excitement, and ran to Jiang Xuan impatiently, saying, “Master, my supreme bone has been reborn, but it seems to have changed.”
“I already know that rebirth in Nirvana is better than before.” Jiang Xuan was relieved. The furnace on the little guy’s chest was very similar to the Bagua furnace, but also different.
This is a combination of the Supreme Bone and the Bagua Furnace.
“When I, Master, made my debut, the first magical power I acquired was also a furnace.” Jiang Xuan thought of the days when he refined his stomach into a Bagua furnace in Lingxu Cave.
“Your furnace should be called the Supreme Baking Furnace!”
Today’s Lingxu Cave Heaven has become the Lingxu Holy Land. With the emergence of Jiang Xuan, the most powerful Heavenly Emperor throughout history, this sect now enjoys an extraordinary status.
People like Master Li and Elder Wu Qingfeng who have good intentions towards Jiang Xuan can enter the Hongmeng Realm and enjoy immortality.
With the support of endless resources, they have now reached the level of quasi-emperor.
The little guy seemed to be hesitant to speak, Jiang Xuan smiled and said, “Do you have anything to say?”
Guilt appeared on the little guy’s face. “Master, in the Second Ancestral Land, there is a child who has been using my identity and suffering for me. I want to bring him back. I have been concentrating on cultivation these years and I often think of him. When I think that he is still suffering over there, I feel sad.”
“Okay, it’s rare for you to be so kind, I’ll go with you.”
After saying that, Jiang Xuan picked up his little one and strode out the door.
In an instant, time and space changed.
The scenery in front of Jiang Xuan and Xiaobudian suddenly changed, and they appeared outside a manor full of broken walls and ruins.
This is the second ancestral land of the Stone Clan. It looks like a clan land, but in fact it is a forgotten corner, specially used to exile those people of high status in the Stone Clan who have violated taboos.
Thinking about what happened to Shi Ziling’s family, it is really difficult to tell whether this so-called “big mistake” was a truly heinous crime or someone was deliberately making things difficult for them.
In front of Zhuangzi there was a child about the same age as Little Bit, with a thin body and pale face. Compared with the energetic Little Bit, there was a world of difference between him and Little Bit.
The child sat there alone, playing by himself, with no friends around him.
When he stood up and moved, it was obvious that one of his feet was lame and every step was difficult.
Occasionally, a servant would pass by and keep saying nasty things, showing no respect for this nominal young master.
The child listened in silence, accustomed to this kind of bullying.
When the little guy saw this scene, his eyes suddenly turned red and his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
“Is this the child who has been suffering for me?” After just a moment’s observation, the little one completely understood his difficult situation: he was physically disabled and must have been hurt by others; he had no friends and was so lonely that it made people feel distressed; and he was always mocked by the servants. And then look at his clothes, which were tattered and even worse than those of the servants.
“Master, I want to take him back to Shi Village.”
The little guy clenched his fists and whispered in a firm tone.
“Don’t worry, go ahead. I support you.” Jiang Xuan reached out and touched the little one’s head, agreeing with his approach.
Even if Xiaobutian didn’t say anything, Jiang Xuan was ready to take the child back to Shi Village.
The child held on to the wall and limped into the village.
Jiang Xuan put the kid down and motioned for him to follow in.
There are two old men in the village. One of them has an extremely weak breath, as if he will die at any time, and the other is also very old and frail, and it is estimated that he will not live for many years.
The little one’s crying voice came from the farm. Jiang Xuan sighed in his heart. The little one’s past was too tragic.
After a while, the little one dragged the child to Jiang Xuan, his eyes red, and said angrily: “Master, the people of Shiguo are too much! Those dignitaries in the imperial capital and the servants in the manor, none of them have a conscience!”
When the Stone Country was mentioned, the little guy’s eyes were filled with undisguised disgust. He could never forget the day when the Stone Country people cruelly dug out his supreme bone. The pain was like countless steel needles piercing deep into his bones, and he almost lost consciousness.
The little boy lay on the cold stone slab. The pain that penetrated deep into his bones still makes him tremble when he thinks about it.
Their family was also exiled and bullied because of the injustice of the Shi Kingdom.
Now, this child who had suffered for him was tortured in the second ancestral land of the Stone Kingdom, which made the little guy’s hatred for the Stone Kingdom reach its peak, with only burning anger left in his heart.
He turned his head and looked at the thin and lame child beside him, his heart full of pity.
This child shouldn’t have to endure all this pain, but because of me, he had to spend so many difficult years in this dark place.
The little one gently held the child’s hand, which was so thin that it looked like it would break if he exerted a little force. “I will never let you suffer any injustice again in the future.” The little one whispered.
“Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished.” Jiang Xuan looked determined, wanting to calm the little guy down.
Then, he said to the little one with a serious face, “This child has suffered so much for you here. You must remember that he is your brother, a relative who is connected to you by blood.”
Ever since he could remember, this child had been living a hard life as a tiny kid. He didn’t even have a name of his own and had suffered countless tortures. Those painful experiences had left wounds in his heart that were difficult to heal.
“Yes! I know, he is my biological brother!”
The little guy nodded vigorously and said in a firm tone, then turned around and enthusiastically introduced Jiang Xuan to the child next to him.
Jiang Xuan looked at the child with a kind smile on his face, conveying warmth and kindness.
Afterwards, the little one took Jiang Xuan’s hand, walked into the farm, and came to a house.
There was an old man in the room. Before Little Bit came in, one of the two old men Jiang Xuan noticed had already passed away.
Now that he saw that the little one was safe and sound, the old man, who was already seriously ill, completely let go of his worries.
He is the only old man left in Zhuangzi.
“Grandpa, this is our master. He is so kind to me.” The little guy walked quickly to the old man, took his hand and said affectionately.
This old man is a brother of the little one’s great-grandfather. When Shi Ziling and his wife came here, he and other old people took good care of them.
It’s just that time passes too fast, and over the years, the old people have passed away one after another.
When the old man saw someone coming in, he subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Jiang Xuan moved quickly and held him down.
The old man was too old and weak, and he had been seriously injured in his early years, so he couldn’t stand the hardship. “The little one is very powerful now. He is only four years old, but he has reached the pinnacle of moving blood, breaking the record of Chongtong in the past, and his strength has reached more than 100,000 pounds.” Jiang Xuan looked at the old man with praise in his eyes, “Although he has lost the Supreme Bone, with his talent and hard work, the Supreme Bone has not only regenerated, but also become stronger than before. All your efforts in the past have not been in vain.”
As he spoke, a ray of spiritual light entered the old man’s body, extending his life.
After hearing Jiang Xuan’s words, the old man’s eyes became wet with excitement and his voice trembled: “Thank you, thank you so much.”
“It’s the little guy’s own hard work. What’s more, he already knows what happened that year.” Jiang Xuan said with a smile.
“Grandpa, I will work hard to cultivate in the future and make those bad guys in the Stone Country pay the price! I will seek justice for you!”
The little guy clenched his fists. He hated what Shi Guo had done. The pain of having his supreme bone dug out became an eternal pain in his heart, and also became a powerful driving force for him to practice hard.
He did this not only for himself and his family, but also to repay those who had helped them.
After that, the little one took the old man’s arm again and said coquettishly: “Grandpa, come with us to Stone Village! Stone Village is fun, there are many friends, we can dig bird nests together, drink animal milk together, it’s so fun!”
The old man listened to the little one’s description, turned to look at the child, and saw that the child’s eyes were full of longing, and he was obviously attracted by the happy life in Shi Village.
“If we leave, I’m afraid we’ll provoke crazy revenge from those people of the Stone Country.” The old man sighed and said with a worried look on his face, “You are not strong enough now, you can’t be exposed.”
Even though he was in a difficult situation, the old man was still thinking about the little one’s safety. He knew that the Stone Kingdom was very powerful and its methods were very cruel.
“Don’t worry, old man.” Jiang Xuan consoled with a smile, “They can’t find Shi Village. How can the Shi clan’s ancestral land be discovered so easily? They can only worry and lose their temper outside.” Jiang Xuan did not brag about his abilities too much. The secrecy of Shi Village was the best proof of this.
In the end, the old man was persuaded and agreed to leave with Jiang Xuan and the others.
After packing up some commemorative items, the group walked out of the manor. Those arrogant and domineering servants did not notice anything.
But the little guy did not leave immediately. He stood quietly in front of the village, his eyes lingering on this dilapidated village for a long time.
The painful memories of the past came flooding back like a tide. All the grievances, unwillingness and anger were closely linked to Shi Guo’s evil deeds.
From this moment on, he will completely bid farewell to the past and move towards a new life, but the disgust and hatred for the Stone Kingdom in his heart will only grow deeper with the passage of time and become his firm belief in becoming stronger.
He secretly swore in his heart that he must give this poor child beside him a future full of love and warmth.
You must seek justice for yourself and for those who love and help you.
“Master, if we just leave like this, will those bad guys really get away with it?” The little guy was unwilling.
Jiang Xuan reached out and rubbed the little one’s head, and said gently: “Child, do as you want, Master will always stand by you.”
He knew that the little one was angry and had no place to vent, and he believed that the little one could handle it.
The little guy looked at the dilapidated farm in front of him with mixed feelings.
This is the second ancestral land of the Stone Clan, but it is full of darkness and evil. If they leave now, those bad guys will still run rampant.
Thinking of this, the little guy’s eyes brightened, his chest glowed, and he rushed into the manor. In an instant, the manor was lit up with light, as if there was a fire surging.
In the blink of an eye, the little guy rushed out again.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud “boom” and a fire broke out from the manor, instantly enveloping the entire manor.
The blazing flames illuminated the little guy’s angry yet determined face.
“Stone Clan, I have nothing to do with you anymore!” The little guy howled to the sky, his childish voice full of determination, “From today on, I will only recognize my own path, and I will take back all your evil deeds!”
Jiang Xuan looked at the little guy with approval in his eyes.
He understood that the fire was Little Bit’s protest against past injustices, and most of those implicated deserved it, so he would naturally not stop it.
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan took Little Bit, the poor child and the old man away. “Master, let’s go back to Shi Village.” Little Bit said softly.
This time, they brought back two people and started a fire. Without moving a single person, they turned the Stone Kingdom upside down. Those who had committed evil in the ancestral land were so frightened that their faces turned pale and trembled.
The news spread quickly to the Imperial Capital of the Stone Kingdom, and instantly set off a storm. The incident of the mysterious strong man causing chaos in the Imperial Capital and suppressing the Wuwang Mansion had not yet subsided, and now the ancestral land was burned down again. The Stone Kingdom was at its peak, but it suffered a series of heavy blows.
The Stone Emperor sat in the palace hall, his face as gloomy as water.
He had already guessed that this matter was related to the child back then. “Alas, one wrong step, all wrong steps.” The Stone Emperor sighed, his eyes full of regret, “If it could be handled properly at the beginning, the two stones would shine together, and the Stone Clan would not have ended up like this? The current situation is irreversible.”
He looked at the sky outside the temple, his eyes full of regret and helplessness.
The Fire Emperor once revealed some secrets to the Stone Emperor. When Jiang Xuan arrived in the imperial capital, the depression in the Stone Emperor’s heart was like a dark cloud that could not be dispelled.
Now that the news of the burning of the second ancestral land had arrived, that resentful emotion was instantly ignited, turning into a raging fire in his chest, surging wildly.
“That person is right. Some people and some families are rotten to the core.”
Shi Huang’s eyes were cold. “If that’s the case, then we should do a thorough cleanup. I just don’t know if it’s too late to remedy the situation now.”
He let out a long sigh, his voice filled with exhaustion and deep helplessness.
At last, the Stone Emperor made up his mind, raised his hand, dipped the ink steadily, and began to write the Human Emperor’s decree.
He wrote with great force, “Investigate thoroughly. Anyone who has anything to do with this matter, whether they are ordinary people or nobles, will be executed!”
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth. Their Shi clan was supposed to dominate the world, but they didn’t expect a vicious woman to appear and cause an irreparable mistake.
The moment the Human Emperor’s decree came out from the palace, the entire palace was illuminated by a dazzling light.
This light was like an indestructible blade, as if it could cut off all the dirt lurking in the dark corners of the Stone Kingdom.
The Stone Emperor stood quietly in front of the palace, looking at this scene, still feeling a little annoyed in his heart. After all, these things had greatly reduced the majesty of the Stone Kingdom.
The way things have developed to this point today is not the fault of the mysterious god or the child with a rough fate.
They are the victims and have never received the justice they deserve, while the real culprits remained at large for a long time and were only punished recently.
Shi Huang suddenly felt an unprecedented fatigue. Over the years, he had been racking his brains and worrying about the development of Shi Kingdom every day.
But you never know when some fools who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything will suddenly appear and hold him back, making his efforts go to waste. How can one not feel exhausted? (End of this chapter)
