Chapter 1742
- Promise
Stone Village was extremely lively, full of cheers and laughter.
A group of uncles raised wine jars, breaking the seals, wine flowing everywhere, the fragrance making everyone swallow their saliva.
The aunties and others prepared food, all of them great delicacies. The wild game made everyone drool with desire, bright red, golden fruits' fragrance refreshed the mind.
The children ran back and forth like a group of monkeys, extremely lively like vicious beast children.
The cheeks of the elders in the village were rosy, full of laughter. They were unable to conceal their happiness in this enthusiastic scene, this place full of a festive atmosphere.
"There are quite a few young vicious beasts in the village." Shi Hao said.
He saw Lightning Hounds, Twin-Headed White Lions, Li Flame Calves, and others, all of them fierce, running about, becoming the children's companions.
This proved that the developments in the village in recent years went extremely smoothly. They could catch vicious beasts, moreover raise them, this meant that this place was powerful and prosperous.
There were some vicious beasts that had long matured, staying outside the village, in charge of protecting the village, also helping with hunting. Shi Hao could still recognize some of them, they were the ones he helped the children catch in the past.
Some of those young vicious beasts died, but some of them grew up, becoming loyal war beasts, controlled by the big red bird, Violet Cloud, Big Peng and Little Green.
"Uncle, do you still remember me? When you were in your teens, I was five. You brought us kids to the mountains to catch many beasts. Look, some of the little beasts in the village are precisely their children!" A teenage youngster ran up.
"I do remember you, haha!" Shi Hao patted his shoulder.
The village was full of happiness.
Shi Hao looked into the distance, seeing that warship. Sure enough, it slowly followed, now gradually approaching.
"Grandpa, my parents have also returned from the higher realm." Shi Hao told them.
When the adults and elders heard this, they were all shocked.
"Where?" Ermeng and the others raised their heads, all of them looking over.
"Hurry and receive uncle and aunt!" Dazhuang urged.
"Over there!" Shi Hao pointed. A massive ship slowly arrived from the distant skies.
"What a big ship!"
"It is even bigger than Uncle Qingfeng's!" There were children who shouted.
Some children were brought into the great wilderness, welcomed into Stone Country by Qingfeng to foster them. After all, always staying in the mountains wasn't too good, so they had come into contact with these things.
"Apart from them, there are many children as well, several hundred of them. I want them all to stay behind in Stone Village, build some stone cottages for them outside the village." Shi Hao explained a step further.
"Ah, there are that many?" The villagers were shocked. They didn't expect Shi Hao to bring back so many children.
It was because in the past, they were extremely opposed to outsiders coming here. The villagers could leave, but they couldn't bring in trouble, fearing that outside clans would be jealous of this place.
"Their bloodlines are from the same source as ours, many of the Stone Clan's people, some of the others the Desolate Border Seven Kings' descendants."
Shi Hao summarized some things for them. There was no way to immediately talk about everything in detail, he had to first receive those children.
"Our Stone Clan's people?" The villagers were shocked.
However, they finally knew these people's rough backgrounds, so they didn't reject them. On the contrary, the adults all revealed different expressions, full of happiness, laughing loudly.
"From here on out, we don't have to worry anymore! We were just about to be anxious that the younger generation will grow up, worried for their marriage partners. Now, so many of our own people came back, we can now completely relax!"
Some elders even more so laughed loudly, feeling like a great problem was solved.
Stone Village wasn't large. If the clansmen always intermarried, there would be all types of problems.
It was still fine before, they would marry with other tribes, but now, Willow Deity moved Stone Village, leaving their original location, isolating them from the world.
If they continued to intermarry, they had to look for outsiders.
However, how many people were willing to enter the great wilderness? At the same time, the villagers were quite worried. This had always been a great issue. Once the children in the village grew up, there were some of them who had different bloodlines, able to marry in the village, but many of them could only rely on some kind children Qingfeng brought back.
The great ship descended outside the village. A group of children rushed out, the play of monkeys climbing everywhere appeared again.
They didn't treat them as outsiders at all, too lively. Only when they saw the hundreds of children their age, did they become a bit bashful.
As for the children from Desolate Border, their eyes all widened. Normally, they didn't see enough laughter and smiles, remaining quiet, all of this because of that terrifying environment.
"Alright, lead your new companions down from the ship, take good care of them." Shi Hao ordered. The group of lively monkeys all shouted, leading the way.
"Aiyou, you aren't even as tall as me, why are you stronger than me?" A lively individual from Stone Village cried out.
They were born in the great wilderness, so these children desired strength. Even these children were very competitive. There were some little fellas who began to 'size up' these quiet children from the ship, but in the end, they were surprised instead.
Shi Hao smiled. What kind of place was Desolate Border? It was the cruelest place. These children were born in the original Emperor City, what they witnessed were the most intense battles, every one of them incredibly sturdy.
It could be said that these children had much greater potential than the disciples from great long life families, seeds produced from the most nasty environment, the descendants of Desolate Border's Seven Kings.
"When you all grow up, I will establish the world's number one sect for all of you, this is my promise!" Shi Hao laughed loudly and said, "I don't want anyone who is weak."
This line was also spoken for Stone Village's children, to motivate them.
"Will we be able to rule over the Nine Heavens?" The Desolate Border children asked.
"Of course. This includes Immortal Domain, the other side, and even those mysterious powers from great eras past!" Shi Hao said while smiling.
There were some things the children didn't understand, but Shi Hao still said it. These were his plans.
Yun Xi stood on the side, inwardly shaken, incredibly shocked. This was Huang's dream?
However, wasn't Huang crippled? His cultivation was going to completely disappear within a month, so how was he going to carry out such a grand scheme? Yun Xi didn't understand.
"Uncle, what are you saying? What enemies are there?" The village's children asked.
"Big brother, are we going to fight the other side in the future?" A youngster from Desolate Border asked.
...
"In the future, we will challenge all sides. The other side and Immortal Domain, the war drums will sound At that time, who cares which great era your inheritance is from? Whoever dares to cause trouble, I will knock all of them down!" Shi Hao was still smiling.
However, Yun Xi found it hard to calm down.
"When the time comes, the most powerful of you all, or maybe out of several generations, I will only choose eight hundred. This will be an army of descendants, we will challenge the world, carry out a great era war. Let's see who is settling things with who!"
He couldn't speak these words in the higher realm, because that would stir up too great of a storm. However, in Stone Village, he could shout as he wished, laugh and cry out as he pleased.
The children were all giggling like little wolves, crying out, shouting out.
"Great era war, we will dominate the heavens above and earth below with uncle!"
"What settling of accounts, what monsters? All who dare step out, we will just stew you, eat you all!"
These children shouted, all of them clenching their fists, vowing that they had to properly cultivate to not lose face for Shi Hao.
The didn't know the deeper meaning behind the words they shouted, nor did they know many years it would be. When they grew up and became powerful beyond compare, then looked back at that time, only then would they understand just what kind of choice they made back then!
"My child, you..."
Shi Ziling and Qin Yining walked over, both of them revealing looks of worry. They were inwardly scared. Now, they were naturally aware of many things, fearing that they would lose Shi Hao.
It was because they understood what their oldest son was saying well, what kind of path that was.
That was even more difficult than defying the heavens!
The events of great eras past, heaven knew just how terrifying the karma it was that was buried, just what kind of creatures would reappear? Once clues were revealed, that would become the greatest storm of history, blood soaking all worlds!
That cultivation level, that level, once a fight erupted, it would be unimaginable.
The true darkest era hadn't even started yet, yet the past immortals were already gone, those alive ruined, let alone when the true event came.
"Father, mother, you all don't need to worry, I am just saying these things." Shi Hao consoled them.
The clues that had been revealed after all this time, Shi Hao naturally knew them. The so-called iron hooves of the other side would arrive sooner or later. At that time, it would be blood and chaos.
At the same time, he believed that this was only a primer, in the end, it would be even more terrifying.
If the monsters of several great eras really were led out, it would be unimaginable!
That was why from the start until now, he wanted to work hard and cultivate, strengthen himself. He wouldn't think about anything else, only continuously break through. Only by doing this could he rise up and face them when the great changes of this world arrived!
