In the descendants bearing the bloodline of the Martial Saint, there will inevitably be one whose bloodline reverts to that of the ancestor, whose talent rivals the revered Martial Saint progenitor!

Throughout the long history, there were not a few fallen aristocratic families from which a prodigy with Bloodline Regression arose, leading the family back to its former glory. Such prodigies, usually bearing a striking resemblance to the source of their bloodline, were akin to reincarnations, and were known as the Son of God.

The youth, Shi Jingtian, before them had a countenance indistinguishable from that of Shi Family’s ancestor, Stone King, and possessed a natural air of a Saint.

The exclusive secret scriptures of the family, he could master upon a single reading, learning without a teacher, facing no hindrances whatsoever… as if he had always known them — merely reviewing them all over again!

The grey-robed elder stood beside him, reverently, with heartfelt admiration. In the past nearly twenty years, from his childhood, Shi Jingtian’s divine manifestations had proven that he was indeed the ’Son of God’ of Bloodline Regression, entirely like the young Stone King! Destined to be renowned throughout the world soon, making the Shi Family more splendid than ever!

“I’ve seen… the Son of God.” Shi Bupo slightly lowered his proud head, his feelings complex. What he had struggled half a century to achieve through hard cultivation was innate to the other, who effortlessly surpassed him. From birth, it was destined that he would, like his ancestors, transcend into sainthood.

Shi Jingtian’s expression was calm, “I’ve heard you’ve had a conflict with the Li Family? The Li Family is descended from the ancient Martial Saint, Bai Xingzhi.”

“Yes.” Shi Bupo acknowledged with a voice, his heart slightly trembling, fearing Shi Jingtian might blame him for it.

Shi Jingtian pondered for a while, “Bai Xingzhi… after all, is too ancient, buried in the dust of history. His descendants’ bloodlines have withered, unable to manifest the holy might again!”

“Since they’ve become enemies, we must eradicate them root and branch!”

A chilling clarity pierced through from Shi Jingtian’s calm facade, causing the entire mountain peak to tremble ever so slightly. Jagged, strange rocks rolled and quaked.

Shi Bupo felt a bead of cold sweat forming on his forehead despite his having stepped into the realm of Five-Qi Grandmaster long ago. Yet, the trace of killing intent Shi Jingtian revealed made him involuntarily tremble and feel fear, as if his life and death were at the other’s whim!

Yet, the Shi Jingtian before him was, in fact, just a young man not yet twenty, but he possessed an authority that seemed to look down upon all living beings, incomprehensible by common sense!

This was the legendary Son of God, only born when a noble family was in decline, or when the world underwent great change!

“For now, remain on Stubborn Stone Mountain, I’ll pass the method to break through the Literacy Paradise to you.”

Shi Jingtian stared at Shi Bupo.

“Yes!”

Shi Bupo’s heart leapt in joy, immediately nodding in response, since that was his purpose for being there.

For enemies, one must be utterly ruthless!

Shi Jingtian could easily obliterate the Li Family himself, but he was well aware that the great chaos of the world had begun, and ancient and dreadful beings would awaken and seek what they had not obtained in this era of great strife.

What Shi Jingtian needed to do was to amass strength for a meteoric rise!

Before then, he would not leave Stubborn Stone Mountain lightly. Dealing with a down-and-out Li Family, if he personally took action, the gains would not be worth the risks incurred. Since Shi Bupo had caused the situation, he needed to resolve it himself!

“This time… I will finally have the opportunity to fulfill my long-cherished wish!” Shi Jingtian looked at the eccentrically shaped stones, his lips curving into a smile.

…

Three months flashed by, and the tranquility was about to meet a surging tide!

“This Bluebird Flying in the Air Picture, I shall comprehend it through and through!”

In the deep forests of Literacy Paradise, Su Changkong felt a thread of excitement in his heart.

Over a month ago, Su Changkong had grasped the Divine Deer Steps on the Sky Picture, mastering the Deer-playing Body Techniques known as Divine Deer Steps on the Sky. When he executed this technique, he could flit and pivot at will, making the sky and earth within easy reach, coming and going as he pleased.

With this body technique so shocking and unconventional, he could contend with masters like Tan You and Shi Bupo.

And now, he was on the brink of penetrating the mysteries of the Blue Bird Escapes in the Air Picture!

The Bluebird, a legendary Divine Bird representing fortune and auspiciousness, wasn’t adept at combat, but with its wings spread, the bird soaring into the void was also a sovereign of the skies.

Behind Su Changkong, the phantom of a White Crane soared with widespread wings, circling over his head. At times it soared and swept through, at others it disappeared into the clouds of the void, vanishing completely!

“This move shall be called White Crane Escapes,” Su Changkong named this technique inspired by the essence of the bluebird. White Crane Escapes could achieve a flying-like mobility and charging, making a thousand-foot-high mountain seem as though it were flat ground!

Five Animal Frolics (10 realms astonish the world 100%)

After contemplating the Five Beasts True Beast Picture, Su Changkong’s Five Animal Frolics had reached that limit. One step further, and it would be an entirely new frontier.

“To advance the Five Animal Frolics to a completely new realm in one fell swoop!” Su Changkong sat cross-legged, his heart brimming with lofty ambitions, fully focused on elevating the Five Animal Frolics to a higher level.

In the void, the phantoms of the five forms of the tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird continuously materialized and changed, effortlessly transforming at will, each in combat with the others; Crane with Ape, Deer with Tiger, Tiger and Bear sparring—all sharpening each other.

Whoosh!

Su Changkong was immersed in a wondrous realm, as if he had returned to ancient times. He saw vast lands and plains stretching countless miles into the skies, the roaring White Tiger, the galloping Divine Deer, the earth-shaking Giant Bear, the Giant Ape reaching for the stars, and the Divine Bird sneaking and weaving through the void.
