The Heavens: Man Covers the Heavens, Refines Treasures to Become an Emperor

Chapter 280 Fighting for Mountain Treasures

When they arrived at Shi Village, the villagers had been waiting for a long time.

Shi Yunfeng led a group of villagers to meet them and offered them fragrant wine and sumptuous food.

The people of Shi Village have always been hospitable, and especially after learning about the experiences of Shi Qingfeng and the old man, they were full of respect for them.

“Welcome to Shi Village!” Shi Yunfeng clasped his hands together with a solemn expression, “We have heard about your deeds a long time ago, especially you, little brother, who have suffered so much for the little one. It is an honor for us in Shi Village that you can come here today.”

The villagers nodded in agreement, many with tears in their eyes.

They had already heard about Shi Qingfeng’s experience, and now seeing that he was safe and sound, they were all filled with emotion.

Shi Qingfeng stood in the crowd and felt the warm gazes from all around.

He lowered his head slightly, his cheeks flushed slightly, but his heart was filled with emotion.

At this moment, he finally felt the long-lost sense of belonging.

On the first night in Shi Village, Jiang Xuan personally treated Shi Qingfeng’s injuries.

Although Shi Qingfeng’s injuries had received preliminary treatment, Jiang Xuan decided to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in his body.

“Although your leg injury has improved, there are still residual toxins and hidden injuries in your body.” Jiang Xuan gently pressed on Shi Qingfeng’s leg, feeling the subtle fluctuations hidden in it. “If it is not completely removed, it may cause greater trouble in the future.”

Shi Qingfeng nodded, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Xuan smiled slightly, and a faint golden light appeared on his palm.

He began to give Shi Qingfeng massage, guiding the toxins in his body to be gradually discharged.

As Jiang Xuan’s technique gradually deepened, a warm current began to flow through Shi Qingfeng’s body. The numbness in his legs gradually dissipated, replaced by an indescribable feeling of comfort.

“How does it feel?” Jiang Xuan asked.

“Very comfortable.” Shi Qingfeng answered truthfully, “It’s like a warm current flowing through my legs.”

Jiang Xuan nodded and continued to cast the spell.

Gradually, Shi Qingfeng felt the toxins in his body being cleared away bit by bit. His breathing became steady, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Shi Qingfeng stood up, tried to move his legs, and was surprised to find that his legs had completely returned to normal.

“Thank you, Uncle Jiang!” Shi Qingfeng said excitedly, “Now my legs are really fine!”

Jiang Xuan smiled slightly: “You have suffered so much, you should be healthy.”

The next morning, Shi Qingfeng couldn’t wait to explore this new world.

He and a few friends ran all over Shi Village. From the creek at the entrance of the village to the bamboo forest at the end of the village, every place felt new to him.

“Look over there!” A boy named Xiao Ming pointed to a big tree in the distance and shouted, “There is a nest of little birds over there!”

Shi Qingfeng looked up and saw a few bird heads peeking out from among the treetops.

He and his friends immediately ran over and carefully observed the bird’s every move. They also picked up some small stones under the tree to try to attract the bird to fly down.

“Bang!” A loud noise suddenly came.

It turned out that a little boy accidentally kicked a stone, and the stone rolled down and hit a bird that was foraging for food.

“Oops!” Xiao Ming said in annoyance, “We scared the bird!”

Shi Qingfeng hurried over to check.

The bird was frightened and its wings trembled slightly, but it did not seem to be injured.

He gently held the bird in his palm and comforted it softly: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, we won’t hurt you.”

Gradually, the bird calmed down and nestled in Shi Qingfeng’s palm. The other children also gathered around and sighed at the scene.

“Brother Xiaofeng is so awesome!” a little girl said admiringly, “Even the birds have been tamed by you!”

Shi Qingfeng smiled sheepishly: “Actually, I just don’t want to hurt it.”

During his time in Shi Village, Shi Qingfeng gradually emerged from the shadow of the past.

He smiles more and more, and his personality becomes more cheerful.

One evening, Jiang Xuan found Shi Qingfeng sitting alone under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, staring into the distance in a daze. He walked over and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Is there something on your mind?”

Shi Qingfeng turned his head and smiled brightly: “Nothing, I was just thinking that the days before were so hard. Now I feel very happy to have so many friends and a good teacher like you.”

Jiang Xuan touched his head and said, “As long as you are willing, everyone will always be with you.”

Since then, Shi Qingfeng has become more positive and optimistic.

He worked harder in his practice and took the initiative to help others in his life. Gradually, he became a leader among the children, leading them to study and play together.

As time went by, Shi Qingfeng’s life in Shi Village became more and more fulfilling.

He established deep friendships with his friends and felt the love from Jiang Xuan and the entire village.

For Shi Qingfeng, Shi Village is not only a new starting point, but also a place full of hope.

Here, he found his own happiness and future.

“Roar!”

……

A deafening roar came from the deepest part of the primitive mountains, as if it came from ancient times.

The voice contained endless power and pressure, which made people tremble with fear.

From deep within the vast and primitive mountains, a brilliant divine light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire world.

Along with that roar, bursts of soul-stirring roars rang out between heaven and earth, shaking the mountains and rivers and making all the grass and trees look like enemies.

However, in the core area of ​​that pristine mountain range, there was a hazy fog.

A shocking battle was taking place there. The creatures involved in the fierce battle used their extraordinary magical powers to carve runes between heaven and earth, blocking all prying eyes from the outside world.

The boundless mountains seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force and began to shake violently.

Rocks collapsed, dust flew, and the entire wilderness fell into unprecedented turmoil.

The little red bird hovered high in the sky, and between its flapping wings, fire rain poured down, as if a natural disaster had come; the Sky-Swallowing Bird could swallow the universe with its mouth, and swallow a mountain whole in one gulp; the Qiongqi swallowed all light with boundless darkness; and Zhuyan swept through thousands of troops with supreme divine power. The battle between the four beasts had already surpassed the ordinary power duel, and was more like an interpretation of an ancient myth.

Although this fierce battle has caused a shock to the wilderness, a mysterious fog is shrouded in the depths of the mountains.

The creatures in the fierce battle imprinted runes on everything in the world to conceal all the truth.

“Shanbao is born!” Countless people were eager but did not dare to rush into the battlefield. As time passed, Shanbao finally revealed his true appearance.

An infinite immortal light shot up into the sky, interweaving with the chaotic energy, making the entire depths of the mountain range appear hazy.

At this moment, it seems as if time has gone back to ancient times.

The birth of Shanbao triggered an even more brutal battle.

The confrontation between the four beasts escalated to the point of a life-and-death battle, and each blow was enough to destroy the world.

In this earth-shaking battle, although the Stone Village located on the edge of the wilderness is hidden, it cannot completely avoid the impact of the fluctuations.

However, under the protection of the two powerful men, Liu Shen and Jiang Xuan, the villagers were safe and sound.

Although Shi Yunfeng and others were in a safe place, they were frightened by this devastating battle that happened thousands of miles away.

They speculated on the root cause of the battle and looked forward to the revelation of the final ownership of the mountain treasure.

Finally, with the emergence of Shan Bao, the competition among the four sacred beasts entered a white-hot stage.

Who can obtain this treasure?

“Does God Liu really have no interest in mountain treasures?” Jiang Xuan asked softly, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the chaotic and turbulent mountains in the distance.

“Master, you are not interested in Shanbao either?” The little guy tilted his head and repeated in a baby voice, with curiosity flashing in his bright big eyes.

“Forget it, forget it. Don’t imitate me.” Jiang Xuan smiled and gently tapped the little guy’s forehead, but a deep look flashed in his eyes. “Although the mountain treasure is a treasure, it is just a speck of dust to me. The Great Wilderness is vast, and cultivators like us have our own paths to follow. How can we be trapped by external things?”

The little one nodded, not quite understanding, and said in a childish voice with a hint of seriousness: “Oh!”

The Willow God stood quietly aside, its branches and leaves swaying gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.

She did not directly answer Jiang Xuan’s question, but just shook her head slightly, with a faint ripple in her eyes.

“Although the mountain treasure is good, it is not what I need.” The voice of the God of Willow was like the breeze blowing through the treetops, with a bit of etherealness, “How can you take a mere treasure seriously?”

Jiang Xuan smiled slightly, with a hint of understanding in his eyes: “I see. It seems that we have come to the same conclusion.”

“Everyone in the world is burdened by treasures. It’s rare to have a state of mind like you and me.” The Willow God smiled, and the branches and leaves swayed in the wind, as if telling something, “The so-called great way is simple, that’s it.”

The mountains in the distance were still in turmoil, and the fierce battle between the four beasts was intensifying.

However, in the eyes of Jiang Xuan and Liu Shen, all of this seemed to no longer be important.

Their gaze has long gone beyond the immediate disputes and is cast upon the wider world.

“The treasures of the mountain will eventually return to dust, but the path of us cultivators will never end.” Jiang Xuan said with emotion.

“That’s right.” Willow God nodded, a trace of relief in his eyes, “May you and I go further on this path.”

Before he finished speaking, a deafening roar came from the distant mountains again, and the light of the mountain treasure became more and more dazzling.

However, in the hearts of Jiang Xuan and Liu Shen, all of this is no longer important, because they have already found their own path and do not need to be moved by external things.

Deep in the wilderness, a world-shaking battle is taking place. Four great beasts at the level of the Supreme Beings are engaged in a nearly frenzied fight for a treasure called “Mountain Treasure”.

And this mountain treasure is actually the most core inheritance of the Supreme Palace in the three thousand Dao states in the upper realm.

This seemingly ordinary mountain treasure contains three peerless skills that are enough to shake the heaven and earth: “Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Skill”, “Cursive Sword Technique” and “Original True Explanation” Transcendence Chapter.

Among them, “Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art” can be called an unprecedented achievement. It is rumored that it was created by an unparalleled powerful man who spent his entire life’s efforts on it, with the aim of integrating the ten evil magic techniques.

Once this skill is perfected, one can defeat ten enemies at once, and its power is astonishing. It is said that in the ancient times of immortals, there were cultivators who used this skill to kill powerful beings from foreign lands, causing the foreign lands to be furious.

The Grass Sword Technique is a supreme sword technique created by the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, one of the Ten Evils. Its sharpness is considered to be the best in the world.

Although the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is low-key and secluded from the world, it is extremely powerful. In the ancient times of immortals, it once single-handedly fought against the four immortal kings from foreign lands. This shows the power of its magic.

As for “The Original True Explanation”, it is the number one immortal method in the world and contains supreme mysteries.

If the Immortal King knew about the existence of these three heavenly skills, he would definitely be excited.

However, in Jiang Xuan’s eyes, all this seemed ordinary. Because he had already walked out of his own path, and there were countless inheritances beyond this level in the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror, so there was no need to fight for it.

“Are you sure these are really hidden in the mountain treasures?” God Willow asked softly.

“Of course I won’t lie.” Jiang Xuan’s gaze fell on the chaotic and turbulent mountains in the distance.

Upon hearing this, Willow God fell silent and looked towards the battlefield.

She regretted it a little.

But it was only for a moment.

The four fierce beasts were fighting for the mountain treasure, the runes were shattered, and the rune bones were scattered.

No matter how powerful they are, they are nothing more than ants in front of a true Immortal King.

On the battlefield in the distance, Shanbao was finally born.

The four beasts fought desperately over it, and the scene was so brutal that it frightened people. However, in the eyes of Jiang Xuan and Liu Shen, all this was just a lively scene.

Their gaze had long since gone beyond this battlefield and reached the more distant world.

“The so-called great way is not to seek outside.” Jiang Xuan said with a smile, “We cultivators should find our own way, why should we be trapped by external things?”

“That’s right.” Willow God nodded gently, “This mountain treasure is nothing but a speck of dust to us.”

As they spoke, their gazes pierced through layers of chaos and looked towards the vast starry sky.

In this world, everyone has his or her own path to follow, and how can a mere mountain treasure shake their resolve?
“Boom!”

Qiongqi was wrapped in a thousand-foot evil fog, crushing the mountains. Wherever its green eyes swept, all the grass and trees withered. “The news of the mountain treasure appearing…” The low roar in its throat shook the clouds and broke apart, “It must be sealed with blood.”

“Jie!”

The Sky-Swallowing Bird tore through the sky and swooped down, its wings formed by the dark mist covering half of the wilderness. Its true form was three times larger than the complete form of the Vermillion Bird, and its blood-red vertical pupils locked onto all the human tribes within a thousand miles: “Let’s start with the two-legged sheep!”

“How dare you?!”

The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings and set off a sky-burning red flame. In the flames, the shadow of the ancient divine phoenix vaguely emerged. Zhu Yan’s iron rod swept across the hundred miles of evil spirits, and the three-headed and six-armed Dharma image led the thundering sound of war drums: “If you want to touch the creatures of the Great Wilderness, ask the iron rod in my hand first!”

The moment the auras of the four fierce beasts collided, space cracked like glass. The annihilation black mist spit out by Qiongqi corroded the earth, and the rock layers turned into smelly blood wherever it passed; as the claws of the Sky-Swallowing Bird tore, the protective formations of the twelve human cities collapsed at the same time.

“Retribution?” The Sky-Swallowing Bird swallowed a mouthful of thunder, and purple lightning burst out from between its fangs, “I am the heavenly calamity!” The hurricane it created when it swooped down swept up huge rocks weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, and smashed them towards the wailing village like a rainstorm.

The Vermilion Bird cried and spewed out the Nirvana Fire, but it exploded into sparks in front of Qiongqi’s evil spirit barrier. Zhu Yan formed a fighting seal with his six arms, and the iron rod turned into a ten-thousand-foot pillar and smashed it at the Devouring Sky Bird, but it was clamped tightly by the ghost claws condensed from the dark mist.
