Deep within the Great Wilderness, in a dark place.
"The aura of the Vermillion Bird's Plume... she left herself, didn't even want the Mountain Treasure, and let a junior come to fight for it?"
"Could it be that this Mountain Treasure is of ordinary value, and she feels it's not worth her personally making a move?"
"It's very possible. If this Mountain Treasure were truly of great value, even if she were to give it up, that Zhu Yan wouldn't possibly give up. It would definitely fight with its life to get it."
"What do we do now?"
"Let's watch first. It won't be easy for that junior to get the Mountain Treasure. The large tribes from the Great Wilderness have sent many human slaves, both openly and secretly."
"Honestly, these human slaves have strong reproductive capabilities. Last time we ate tens of millions, and after a few decades, they've reproduced again. And this is just the human slaves from one tribe."
This was a conversation between a fierce bird and a fierce beast.
The fierce bird was the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, and the fierce beast was the Qiongqi.
They were originally enemies, but in this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. The departure of the Vermillion Bird and Zhu Yan made them unconsciously form an alliance.
There was no other way.
In terms of strength alone among the four great fierce beasts of the Great Wilderness, the Vermillion Bird ranked first, Zhu Yan ranked second, and they were only third and fourth.
Now that the first and second ranked, who had been fighting for two years, had run off and weren't fighting for the Mountain Treasure, it truly made these third and fourth ranked ones a bit flustered.
Therefore.
Even though the Mountain Treasure had appeared, the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow and Qiongqi decided to observe the situation first. They would only come out to contend after confirming there was no danger, to avoid being ambushed by the Vermillion Bird and Zhu Yan.
Great Wilderness, edge region.
In the magnificent and enormous royal palace, rumbling thunder sounded, causing many iron-armored guards to tremble, almost kneeling on the ground.
That was just one person's voice, terrifyingly powerful, shaking large sections of the palace, like a sudden clap of thunder from the nine heavens.
"The Mountain Treasure has appeared! The Purple Mountain Clan has moved, and even sent out his offspring, Lei Kun! Take a few of your younger brothers with you too! As long as you see the geniuses of the Purple Mountain Clan, beat them up for me!"
Rolling thunder came, and within the royal palace, black lightning intertwined, surrounding a blurry yet majestic figure, turning the surroundings into an ocean of thunder.
"Yes!"
A middle-aged man wearing red armor was kneeling on the ground with a respectful expression.
Far away.
Among a range of mountains, the mountains here were extremely majestic, towering into the clouds. The temperature was very low, and the mountain peaks were covered in silver, with thick white snow accumulated.
And right here, a giant city was built, situated on the central giant mountain, overlooking the eight directions and all things. It had a hint of sacred and majestic aura.
However, the population of the giant city was not large. Only in the most core area did a small group of people live. The population size seemed out of place with this giant city.
This was an extremely ancient hidden family, with a terrifyingly amazing inheritance.
Legend had it that a deity from the Upper Realm had once ruled this land in ancient times.
"The Golden Wolf Tribe, Luofu Great Marsh, Purple Mountain Clan, Flood Dragon Clan, Thunder Clan... one after another, large tribes have moved out, all wanting to see the Mountain Treasure that has appeared deep within the Great Wilderness. This time, the Great Wilderness might be in chaos."
Above the giant city, an Old Man stood on the city wall, gazing at the discovery deep within the Great Wilderness. He stroked his white beard and expressed his thoughts.
"I don't understand, I really don't understand. Those two supreme beings fought in the sky for two years, yet they left before the Mountain Treasure appeared."
"Many people don't understand this question. To figure out exactly why, it's probably not a simple matter."
Two more Old Men flew onto the city wall and stood beside the original Old Man.
"The patriarchs of the Purple Mountain Clan and the Thunder Clan, those two old rivals, will definitely have their descendants duel. Why don't we bring a few of our Snow Clan's young geniuses along to see the world?" the first Old Man suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Several beautiful young girls came stepping through the snow, each as lovely as a little elf, with bright, intelligent eyes, fair, translucent faces, and flowing dark hair. Behind them followed two young boys.
"Grandpa, you can't be biased, we all want to go," the boys and girls clung to the three Old Men present.
"Go, go. You can see how strong those geniuses from the outside are," one Old Man said with a smile.
"Great Grandpa, you're so kind!"
The boys and girls happily gathered around the first Old Man.
And this Old Man also happily stroked the heads of the boys and girls.
"As long as the Four Great Fierce Beasts don't appear and don't snatch the Mountain Treasure, we old folks still have a good chance of snatching the Mountain Treasure."
"We can't rush. Our Snow Clan is not as large and prosperous as the Golden Wolf Tribe. Our population is so depleted, just going to see the world is enough."
The two later Old Men spoke one after another, but considering the Snow Clan's population was so depleted, they exchanged glances and could only sigh helplessly.
Clearly, they currently had no intention of competing with other large tribes for the Mountain Treasure. It would be great if they could get it, but if they couldn't, the blow to the current Snow Clan would be too great.
Why would failing to get it be a big blow?
When snatching things, how can there be no deaths?
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity is danger, snatching chestnuts from the fire.
If it's just watching the show and seeing the world, then so be it.
But if they were to actually snatch the Mountain Treasure.
Do they think the other large tribes in the Great Wilderness are just sitting around doing nothing?
Or do they expect these large tribes to obediently give up the Mountain Treasure?
One must know.
When fierce beasts eat people, it's usually in one gulp, at least without too much pain.
But when people harm people, it's not that simple. Life is worse than death, and it's commonplace.
With the appearance of the Mountain Treasure, the two supreme beings who were fighting for it, which are two of the Four Great Fierce Beasts of the Great Wilderness, the Vermillion Bird and the Zhu Yan, left. And the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow and the Qiongqi remained hidden. Many large tribes in the Great Wilderness have developed an interest in competing for this newly appeared Mountain Treasure.
As of now.
It is known that the Golden Wolf Tribe, Luofu Great Marsh, Purple Mountain Clan, Flood Dragon Clan, Thunder Clan, and Snow Clan, a total of six large tribes, have arranged for experts and some young prodigies to explore the Mountain Treasure deep within the Great Wilderness.
During this time.
Shi Yi, who had left Stone Village several days ago, encountered several large tribes.
There was the arrogant and overbearing Flood Dragon Clan, the calm and collected Purple Mountain Clan, the heroic and cloud-piercing Golden Wolf Tribe, and the Snow Clan, which made him feel like he was on a sightseeing trip.
These large tribes and clans, with the exception of the Snow Clan, all looked down on Shi Yi. Dressed in animal skins, wearing straw sandals, and with nothing valuable on him, he seemed like a poor child who had crawled out of some impoverished mountain valley. In their eyes, he didn't even have the right to speak to them.
Logically speaking, with Shi Yi's Celestial Passage Realm cultivation, even if he were just an ordinary Celestial Passage Realm cultivator and not the young supreme being with Ten Celestial Passages, he shouldn't have been treated so coldly.
However, Shi Yi had a flaw in his personality. He was too cautious, disliked showing off, and preferred to be the mastermind behind the scenes, having hidden his true cultivation early on.
Blood Moving Realm, a single swing of his arm could lift thirty-five thousand jin, and he came from an unknown small village.
At this moment, Shi Yi, who had concealed his identity and taken the name Yun Potian, was following the Snow Clan's group.
"Vast and supreme, the beginning of the people, the imperial ultimate is established, the eternal principles are spread," the Old Man chanted softly.
"Old Man, what does that mean?" Shi Yi asked curiously.
The Old Man glanced at Shi Yi and said indifferently, "In the distant ancient times, which was still the beginning of the human race, the great middle path was established, and the eternal principles were spread throughout the Great Wilderness."
"Order and truth are spread throughout nature. All things in the world have spirituality. Some intelligent races favored by Heaven, such as the human race, are representatives among them. The true meaning of the Dao is most clearly reflected in them."
Before he finished speaking, several beautiful young girls from the Snow Clan pulled Shi Yi away.
"Brother Tian, why don't you just stay and join our Snow Clan..."
