Perfection: He is the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Eastern Emperor!

Chapter 52 Broken Sky City

Faced with Shi Yunfeng's praise, Shi An, who had experienced a True Immortal Realm, simply smiled and then asked him, "Grandpa Clan Chief, has the Willow Goddess awakened? I would like to go and pay my respects to her."

Upon hearing Shi An inquire about Liu Shen, Shi Yunfeng quickly responded, "She's awake, she's awake. Liu Shen awakened two years ago."

"Then... Father, Mother, Grandpa Chief!"

Upon learning that Liu Shen had awakened two years ago, Shi An immediately said to Shi Linhu and the others, "I will first go and pay my respects to Liu Shen, and then I will tell you about my experiences during this time."

"Alright, alright, go ahead!"

Instead of expressing any dissatisfaction, everyone urged Shi An to hurry up and go.

"Okay, I'm going."

And so, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shi An went to the village entrance to offer sacrifices to the spirits.

Unlike before, what stands here is no longer a lightning-struck tree with only a single willow branch, but a huge willow tree radiating vitality.

Looking at the newly renovated willow tree, Shi An felt a slight tremor in her heart, as if she were seeing the scene of her galloping through the ancient immortal realm in the past.

"It seems you've made quite a haul on this trip, actually managing to open up twelve grotto-heavens."

Just then, Liu Shen's slightly surprised voice reached his ears.

Hehe~

In response, Shi An smiled sheepishly and said, "Actually, I was just lucky. On this trip, I glimpsed the brilliant life of a true immortal, and it was this life that greatly improved my state of mind."

"Of course, the most important reason is that my grotto-heavens seem to have some kind of connection. It is through this connection, coupled with my improved state of mind, that I was able to completely open up the twelve grotto-heavens."

"good!"

Although she already knew about Shi An's experiences over the past two years, after hearing his account, Liu Shen couldn't help but praise him, saying, "You're quite remarkable! To withstand the life-altering experience of a True Immortal at the age of less than twenty, even with the help of the secret treasure within your body, is truly unprecedented and unparalleled."

"Yeah?!"

Hearing Liu Shen's undisguised praise, even Shi An, who had experienced the baptism of a true immortal's life, couldn't help but blush slightly.

"By the way, Goddess Liu."

Suddenly, Shi An remembered something and looked up at Liu Shen, asking, "Where is Shi Hao?"

As soon as Shi An finished speaking, Liu Shen's voice rang out again: "He is currently in an ancient sect, but soon he will go to a secret realm for training. If you are interested, you may also go."

"A secret realm...?"

Upon learning that Shi Hao was currently within an ancient sect and was about to travel to a secret realm, Shi An pondered for a moment and realized that Shi Hao should be in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and about to head to Hundred-Broken Mountain.

"I can become the Willow Goddess, but..."

After figuring it out, Shi An did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Shi Linhu and the others who were watching him from a distance and said, "I want to spend some time with my family now."

"Alright."

Liu Shen's voice rang out again, and then returned to calm.

Seeing this, Shi An didn't bother her anymore, but turned around and returned to Shi Linhu and the others.

So, for the rest of the time, Shi An didn't go anywhere. He just stayed in the village and spent an unforgettable and peaceful time with his family until Liu Shen told him that Shi Hao had set off. Only then did he finally embark on a new journey.

"Thank you for your help!"

Under the willow tree, Shi An bowed slightly, expressing his gratitude to the Willow God.

Actually, Shi An originally planned to go to Baiduan Mountain by himself, but firstly, he didn't know where Baiduan Mountain was, and secondly, he couldn't guarantee that he could arrive on time. So after thinking it over again, he asked Liu Shen to take him to Baiduan Mountain.

"It's alright!"

However, Liu Shen did not show any dissatisfaction with this matter; on the contrary, she readily agreed.

Let's go!

Instantly, a green light screen connecting heaven and earth appeared, just like when he was sent into the Void God Realm. However, this time the destination was not the Void God Realm, and he did not go there with his spiritual power.

Soon, after a change of perspective, Shi An arrived at a plain, where an ancient city sat on the horizon in the distance.

"An empty city?!"

Looking at the ancient city in the distance, Shi An's heart stirred slightly, and he then took a step towards the ancient city.

Meanwhile, inside the city, Shi Hao was strolling around with the members of the Butian Pavilion.

Suddenly, Shi Hao looked at the distance with a strange expression.

Not far from him, in a secluded courtyard, a carriage pulled by several ferocious beasts with grotesque appearances and terrifying auras slowly drove out.

In addition, numerous guards closely followed the carriage, making it a rather grand procession.

Through the gaps in the curtain made of exquisite jade, Shi Hao was surprised to find a white tiger sitting inside, its eyes sharp and its whole body exuding a murderous aura. Two pretty young girls were also carefully serving it, feeding it tender pieces of meat from time to time.

"That little white tiger can actually travel in a carriage and has powerful servants attending to it. Just how powerful must its master be!"

This scene drew gasps of amazement from many disciples of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

But as soon as they finished speaking, an elder from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion's face darkened, his gaze sharpening as he swept his eyes across the crowd with an extremely stern look, and he hissed, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples instantly realized that this white tiger was most likely the offspring of an ancient species, and was by no means an ordinary pet; otherwise, how could it have such a grand display?

Just then, a deep and majestic roar suddenly rang out. The little white tiger's eyes snapped open, its appearance fierce and its aura terrifying. It stared coldly at the disciples of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion who had spoken earlier.

"Slap yourselves, or you will all face certain death!"

Then, the coachman spoke up, his tone cold and stern, leaving no room for argument.

"Fellow Daoist, the child is young and ignorant, and his words may have been offensive. Please do not take it to heart."

Seeing this, the elder of the Butian Pavilion quickly stepped forward, smiling apologetically, and tried to smooth things over.

Unfortunately, the driver had no intention of letting the matter rest, and his attitude remained indifferent: "Words can be dangerous, this is a lesson. If they don't learn from this, how will they know to restrain themselves in the future? This is already a light punishment. If we really wait for the tiger to make a move, your lives will be in danger."

As soon as the coachman finished speaking, the guards stepped forward in unison. Their armor gleamed with a dark luster, and each of them looked like a fierce demon, exuding a murderous aura that sent chills down one's spine.

The little white tiger in the carriage suddenly raised its eyes, revealing a fierce glint, and a palpable aura of ferocity spread out.

Seeing that the other party was really going to make a move, everyone from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was shocked. This cub of an ancient species was no ordinary creature. Its bloodline was extremely powerful, and it exuded a chilling aura that made people tremble.

Although some of them were geniuses and had seen a few offspring of ancient species before, they had only observed them from afar. This was the first time they had ever faced an ancient species cub face-to-face like this.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, the white tiger let out a deafening roar, the sound waves sweeping out like a surging tide, causing the entire garden to tremble. Clearly, it had been thoroughly enraged.

Upon hearing the white tiger's roar, the coachman's face also darkened, and he said coldly, "Too late. It has already decided to kill. Those disciples who dared to speak out are doomed."

Seeing that the White Tiger was about to take lives without saying a word, everyone from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion froze, secretly shocked: This ancient remnant is far too powerful and domineering!

To take a life for a single careless remark is truly outrageous!

Even now, the elder of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion still didn't want to cause any more trouble, and continued to persuade the coachman, "Fellow Daoist, it's best to be forgiving when possible. Why go through with this? Try to persuade it, and if everyone backs down, you can meet again in the future, right?"

"Impossible!"

The driver calmly shook his head.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved by reason, the elder finally stopped talking. A golden light flashed in his palm, and a bright yellow gourd appeared, with mysterious runes flowing on it and emitting a faint glow.

Holding the gourd, the elder stared intently at the other party with icy eyes, saying slowly and deliberately, "Our Heaven-Mending Pavilion has always valued peace and is unwilling to cause trouble easily, but we are by no means afraid of trouble. If pushed too far, we are not to be trifled with."
