Chapter 19: Kid, You're Invincible!

Chapter 19: Kid, You're Invincible!

"Clap, clap, clap!!"

Shaohua clapped her hands, giving the little guy immense encouragement.

No matter how many profound truths she had explained or how many ancient secrets she had shared, this was still Wushi's first real combat experience.

And he had fought across a major realm, at the tender age of three. Even though she knew it was Wushi, it still filled her heart with immense emotion.

"Great job. Your boxing style has a bit of your father's flair. However, you were a bit too reckless. Your opponent's cultivation is higher, so you should have avoided the initial clash and not engaged in direct combat. That would have been unwise", Shaohua said with a gentle smile.

"It's because you're here, Sister. You definitely won't let anything happen to me", Wushi chuckled.

He rubbed his nose and continued, "Besides, you said a cultivator should never shy away from a fight and must have an invincible heart!"

"Still talking back, huh? You're asking for a beating", Shaohua extended her delicate hand and gently tapped his forehead.

"Don't hit my head, it will make me dumb", Wushi wailed.

"Then tell me what you did wrong", Shaohua ruffled his little head.

"I shouldn't have been so reckless and rushed into direct combat. I should have avoided the initial clash and focused on protecting myself", Wushi's eyes darted around as he earnestly admitted.

"Hmm?" Shaohua couldn't help but smirk, her tone casual, "Still pretending, huh? Do you really think I haven't noticed anything?"

She wasn't blind. This kid was naturally intelligent, and though he wasn't yet deeply calculating, his mental maturity far exceeded that of a typical child.

He couldn't be treated like an ordinary three-year-old. Even compared to teenagers, he was no less impressive. Take the battle just now—was that the performance of a three-year-old?

It wasn't just about being a Sage Body Dao Embryo; the key was his own potential.

At the Sea of Wheels cultivation stage, he was still far from achieving the initial success of a Sage Body and Dao Embryo. No matter how strong his constitution, it only gave him the theoretical qualifications to fight.

But at three years old, he had already displayed a hint of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, and even a faint glimpse of his own unique boxing intent. How astonishing. Clearly, he had been thinking about it for a long time.

Most importantly, he seemed to have truly cultivated an invincible heart.

"You really are invincible, kid!"

"I'm~ just a three-year-old~" Wushi said defiantly, his little face being pinched and squeezed by Shaohua, his voice changing pitch and sounding even cuter.

Shaohua released her grip, her face expressionless, and said nothing. This immediately frightened Wushi, his face turning pale.

"Sister?" His bright, large eyes quickly filled with tears, his mood plummeting, "I just wanted Sister to like me a little more."

"Ha ha ha~" Shaohua laughed, realizing he was still just a child.

"You're teasing me, Sister!" Wushi's face turned red with embarrassment and indignation.

"Your talent astounds me, and your future is bound to be brilliant. You are destined to break through all constraints, achieve immortality, and create a myth for the ages."

Shaohua stopped teasing him, bent down, and cupped his little face with both hands, speaking softly.

"But, Wushi, the path to immortality is a lonely one. In the final glory, you will taste the solitude and bitterness of being alone."

Shaohua slowly stood up and asked seriously, "Are you afraid?"

No matter how mature Wushi's mind was, he couldn't fully grasp the true meaning behind Shaohua's words. But at this moment, he displayed the fearlessness of a child.

A newborn calf fears no tiger, let alone Wushi.

He stood tall, his expression resolute, and declared with firm resolve, "I'm not afraid. I will be the sun in the darkness, the sword that resists chaos, the dawn that breaks the night. I will protect the honor of my parents and my sister!"

"Ha ha~"

Shaohua couldn't help but laugh, then quickly stifled it, her beautiful face flushing slightly.

"Well done, you deserve to be my brother. Your future is limitless, with the potential to become an Immortal Emperor!"

She subtly raised the bar for his potential, gently ruffled Wushi's little head, and smiled warmly, "One day, Sister will be proud of you."

"Sister, I love you so much!" Wushi's eyes sparkled with joy, and he hugged Shaohua, rubbing against her.

Shaohua reached out and gently rubbed his little head, unable to suppress a smile. "But little brother, there are boundaries between men and women. You’re still young now, but when you grow up, you can’t do this anymore."

"Oh~" Wushi responded obediently, but he only held on tighter.

Lanling smiled knowingly, and the two sisters giggled, covering their mouths.

A loud thunderclap echoed, and a torrential downpour followed.

Several figures tore through the void, then sped through the rain, moving as fast as lightning. They left a trail of strong wind in their wake, heading straight for the depths of the mountains. It took them only moments to reach their destination.

In the forest, ancient trees had been destroyed, leaving a scene of utter devastation.

"My dear grandson, who has harmed you?!" One of the elders held the body of the black-clad man, looking at the hole through his chest. A deep, intense rage welled up inside him, and with a roar, the mountains shook.

The faces of the others were equally grim. The loss of an important disciple, one who could have represented their lineage and pursued the position of Sacred Son, was a heavy blow. How could this happen in some remote wilderness?

To dare kill a disciple of the Devouring Heaven Sacred Land was a crime worthy of death a thousand times over!

"Report, Elder. There are no lingering traces here."

"We must search every inch of the ground to find the culprit."

"There’s no need to search. I am here." A cold, clear voice echoed across the heavens.

The group in the mountains looked up and saw a vague figure standing high in the sky, radiating an overwhelmingly terrifying aura. It was as if an unrivaled sovereign had emerged, reigning over all, making the sun, moon, and rivers pale in comparison.

Lanling stood in the void, looking down from her lofty position. Though she wasn’t particularly intimidating, her presence was still awe-inspiring.

Even a Quasi-Emperor of the Ninth Heaven, or a Supreme Sovereign of the Forbidden Zone, could not ignore her. Her mere presence was enough to flatten the heavens. Every living being, from the greatest sage to the lowliest insect, felt a profound terror, trembling in fear, and felt compelled to bow in reverence.

The people of the Devouring Heaven Sacred Land were filled with dread. Who was this person, and why were they trying to intimidate them?

After a long while, they finally regained their composure and realized what was happening. Their faces turned pale.

"It’s all his own fault, it has nothing to do with us." The elder who had been holding his grandson’s body quickly dropped the corpse, wishing to sever all ties with the deceased.

No matter how talented a descendant might be, a dead prodigy was no longer a prodigy. Besides, as a powerful being with many descendants, he had more than one grandson.

"Have you finished speaking? Then it’s time for you to meet your end." Lanling said coolly.

"No! You can’t kill me. I am an elder of the Devouring Heaven Sacred Land, and my lineage has a sage as its guardian!" The elder’s voice trembled with fear.

"Enough noise." Lanling pointed a finger, and in an instant, the sky split and the entire mountain range was leveled. Her figure then vanished from the spot.

She had only left a thought here.

If the young master were to begin cultivation in this world, he might have spared them to serve as a whetstone. Unfortunately, they didn’t have that honor.

As for the Devouring Heaven Sacred Land, it was indeed somewhat intimidating.

But this was no longer the era when that ruthless figure dominated the world. The Jade Pool Sacred Land was now the foremost.

Furthermore, the Devouring Heaven Sacred Land’s reputation was so tarnished that even a reborn emperor would likely avoid any association with it.

If not for their deep roots, they would have been attacked by all long ago.

They had no aura of a sacred land; they were clearly a den of evil!
