The Trinity simultaneously traverses the Perfect Sacred Ruins of Shrouding the Heavens.

Chapter 66: Burn the fire away, and a bright future awaits.

Lu Sheng grabbed the talisman so fast that Xia Youyu didn't even have time to react. The girl's pupils contracted in shock.

Holding the small talisman made of a special material, Lu Sheng waved his hand and said, "Alright, farewell."

"Senior Sister Xia, go back and cultivate diligently. If a real fight breaks out, I can suppress you with one hand."

Xia Youyu blushed slightly, realizing she had been looked down upon by a child.

The old woman accompanying them had a glint of silver in her eyes. She asked, "Whose family are you from?"

"Ancient aristocratic families are beyond your understanding, so there's no need to explain them so clearly. Once I truly enter the Heaven-Mending Pavilion in the future, you will naturally understand my abilities."

Lu Sheng was surrounded by rainbow light, and he enveloped Shi Hao and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Xia Youyu gasped and murmured, "This little...this boy named Batian, is he really going to defy the heavens?"

Even she couldn't match his speed.

There weren't any particularly strong figures in the group; kings and nobles were all important people in this land.

The cultivation level corresponding to the so-called King and Noble in the secret realm system is roughly around the fourth level.

Lu Sheng was being modest; he could easily subdue everyone in the team with one hand.

The lower realm appears ordinary; normal cultivation only reaches the Venerable Realm, which can be called the Emperor Realm.

Then, out of nowhere, a scary old thing was hiding in a corner.

The place where they encountered the Butian Pavilion team was already on the edge of the Endless Mountains.

After traveling 300,000 miles, they soon reached the end of the journey and gradually came into view human towns.

After traveling another thousand miles, Lu Sheng and Shi Hao entered the territory of the Shi Kingdom. The second ancestral land of the Shi clan was located at a corner of the border.

This place is incredibly desolate, yet it contains four villages and a town. These villages only developed because this was the ancestral home of the Shi tribe.

This place is also a land of exile. Many years ago, some old monsters of great status lived in seclusion here. Shi Hao's substitute also grew up in this second ancestral land.

Some people were worried that Shi Hao, whose supreme bone had been removed, would continue to live.

Among large clans, the struggles are particularly fierce.

In the dilapidated village, a thin boy sat on the stone steps, his face pale, coughing frequently when he spoke, and his legs were hunched.

Shi Hao hid in the nearby woods, quietly watching the boy, almost in tears, and murmured:

"Is this another version of me, Brother Lu Sheng? My heart aches for him."

"I grew up in Shicun, and I had my clan chief grandfather, uncles and aunts, and all of you with me."

"He stays here, suffering in my place. How lonely he must be."

Clutching the talisman of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion in his hand, he said, "Brother Lu Sheng, I want to give this to him. I want to send him into the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

"Whatever, he deserves it."

Lu Sheng slowly walked out of the woods and said, "Let's go in and take a look. With me here, there's no need to hide anything."

"Those who should be silenced will be silenced; those who shouldn't be, I have a secret method to make them forget you."

Shi Hao nodded, believing that Lu Sheng wouldn't lie to him.

Upon seeing the two appear, the thin child stared at them curiously and asked, "Which village are you from? I don't think I've seen you before."

Shi Hao glanced at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng: "Just tell the truth. There's nothing I can't handle in this small place."

Shi Hao stepped forward, his eyes slightly red, and slowly spoke:

"I am you, I am the child you replaced."

The other person's eyes widened, clearly indicating that he was also aware of this. Then, his expression changed, and he abruptly stood up and stepped forward:

"Go quickly, don't come back, cough cough cough..."

As he spoke, he coughed violently, and because he got up too quickly and was limping, he lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground.

Shi Hao rushed over to support him, saying with concern, "It's alright, I'm back. You won't suffer anymore."

As they were talking, several servants came out of the manor and, seeing this scene, instinctively scoffed:

"Oh my young master, where did this wild child come from? You mustn't play with these shady characters all the time, or you might break your other leg one day."

Lu Sheng handed a piece of dried meat to Maoqiu and ordered, "Drag it out and find a place to bury it."

The furry ball squeaked and transformed into a golden light. The few servants, who had little cultivation, were no match for this ferocious beast.

The stand-in boy was surprised. He looked at Shi Hao and Lu Sheng again and again, and finally, tears welled up in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said:

"Can you please save my great-grandfather?"

There used to be some elderly members of the Shi clan in the village. When they were alive, the servants in the village dared not act recklessly.

But over the years they all grew old and died one after another, leaving only one, who was also on his deathbed.

Lu Sheng and Shi Hao followed the other person into the house. After a quick glance, Lu Sheng replied:

"It's too late. My cultivation level isn't high enough, and I don't have any elixir of immortality. Let's dig a pit and give him a grand burial. Old man, you've worked hard all these years."

He then said that he had channeled a divine power into the other party, which, although unable to save the other party's life, could at least provide a temporary resurgence of energy.

The old man on the bed slowly straightened up, looking bewildered, and asked, "Children, where did you come from?"

"Ishimura."

Shi Hao stepped forward, took the old man's rough hand, and whispered, "Grandpa, I am that child from back then."

The old man's pupils dilated dramatically, and he said repeatedly, "Good, good, good, good, child. Seeing you so healthy now, I can finally rest easy."

He then looked at Lu Sheng: "You're from our ancestral land, right? The true ancestral land of our Stone Clan, how is it now?"

Lu Sheng replied, "It's a harmonious and joyful place, without all the messy things in Shiguo. It's wonderful, the perfect choice for retirement."

The old man smiled, then took the substitute boy's small hand and said, "Take him away. With you all here, I can leave in peace."

"Great-grandfather," the stand-in boy cried.

"Child, don't cry. Follow your brother to the true ancestral land of our Stone Clan. You've suffered so much these past years."

The old man gently stroked the boy's head and chatted with Shi Hao for a while.

After a long while, the light in his eyes slowly faded, and he passed away peacefully.

"Alright, those who shouldn't have died are dead. Now let's send those who should die to be buried alive with them."

Lu Sheng went out, chopped down an ancient tree, and made a luxurious coffin carved with dragons and phoenixes.

Then the stand-in boy was asked to identify the inhuman things, and they were all buried.

Although being buried alive is not a good custom, these guys are just wasting air by being alive.

In the vast village, only two old servants genuinely cared for the little boy.

However, in the nearby villages that delivered vegetables to Zhuangzi, there was a father and son surnamed Hai who often took care of him.

Upon hearing of the old man's passing, and wanting to adopt him, Lu Sheng appeared to explain:

"Take the two old servants from the manor and run away quickly. We'll take the little guy back. This so-called second ancestral land has no reason to exist anymore."

Shi Hao lit the fire, and Lu Sheng fanned it, burning the manor down.

The true ancestral home will always be only Shicun.
