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

Chapter 6 Mysterious Beasts in Dreams

As the blood vessels fully integrated, Shi An's body seemed to undergo a subtle transformation. His body, which had been somewhat fragile due to its inability to withstand the powerful energy, now exuded an indescribable resilience and vitality.

His breathing became long and steady, each breath seemingly drawing upon the vital energy of heaven and earth to nourish his body and soul, and his complexion regained its former rosy hue.

Seeing this, the spirit nodded inwardly. Although she had failed to glimpse the secrets in Shi An's sea of ​​consciousness this time, the changes brought about by this wisp of blood were enough to shock and excite her.

She had a premonition that if this little guy grew up and could use the ancient bell in his sea of ​​consciousness, he would surely shake the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and even the Immortal Realm.

"Since I can't uncover all your secrets for now, let me protect you as you grow up."

With this in mind, she made a decision in her heart, believing that as Shi An grew up, everything would gradually be revealed.

Then, she slowly withdrew her supernatural power, and the willow branch was retracted, leaving only a faint green tinge, protecting Shi An and the entire Stone Village.

At the same time, seeing that Shi An's expression had returned to normal and that the spirit had also withdrawn its supernatural powers, the heavy weight in the hearts of Shi Yunfeng, Shi Linhu, and the other villagers of Shi Village finally lifted.

They gazed gratefully at the enormous lightning-struck tree, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord Spirit Master!"

Shi Yunfeng led everyone in bowing deeply to the lightning-struck wood, expressing their respect and gratitude.

In response, the spirit merely swayed its branches gently before returning to its usual tranquility, as if everything that had just happened was merely a fleeting dream.

Seeing that the Sacrificial Spirit had fallen into a deep reverie again, Shi Yunfeng and the others did not disturb him any further. Instead, they turned around and went to the bronze cauldron, waiting for Shi Ansu to wake up while discussing in hushed tones what had just happened.

Shi Yunfeng stroked his beard and pondered, "Shi An is different from us. His future will not be limited to this wilderness. He will go out and go to those ancient kingdoms and holy religions."

"he········"

Upon hearing Shi Yunfeng's evaluation, Shi Linhu stared blankly at the child in the cauldron.

Although he had only been with her for less than three years, he and his wife truly treated her like their own child. Hearing that she would be leaving the Great Wilderness and them in the future, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

In fact, not only Shi Linhu, but also a group of people in Shicun, including Shi Yunfeng, felt a little uneasy. Over the past three years, the joy that Shi An had brought them had left an indelible mark on their hearts.

"Chieftain, do you think Shi An will still remember us in the future? Once he leaves the Great Wilderness and becomes a great figure, will he come back to visit?"

Suddenly, Shi Linhu choked up and said something that instantly touched the hearts of everyone present.

A complex look flashed in Shi Yunfeng's eyes upon hearing this, then he looked at Shi An inside the cauldron and slowly said, "Yes!"

"This child is kind-hearted. Shicun is his root. I believe that no matter how high or far he flies in the future, he will remember this place and remember us."

Although Shi Yunfeng's words were somewhat comforting, everyone present nodded in agreement, and a warm feeling welled up in their hearts.

They had already begun to imagine what Shi An might become in the future: a powerful figure who would intimidate the region? Or a wise man renowned throughout the world?

However, at that moment, a slight movement suddenly came from inside the bronze cauldron, and then, under the watchful eyes of Shi Yunfeng and the others, Shi An slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were brighter than before, as if they could see into people's hearts, and as if they contained endless wisdom and power.

Seeing this, everyone quickly gathered around, looking at him with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

"Xiao Shi'an, you're awake?!"

Shi Yunfeng quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

However, Shi An did not answer Shi Yunfeng's question immediately. Instead, he quietly assessed his own condition before smiling and replying, "Grandpa Clan Chief, I am very well now, better than ever before."

"That's good!"

Hearing Shi An say that he was feeling better than ever before, Shi Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He had been really worried that something might have happened to Shi An.

Seeing that Shi Yunfeng had finished asking his question, Shi Linhu, who had been eagerly waiting, immediately came to Shi An's side and asked curiously, "Xiao An, what happened to you just now? Why did you...?"

"Father, I don't know either."

However, Shi An himself wasn't entirely sure about this question. He could only manage a weak reply: "I only remember that I seemed to have a dream, a not-so-long dream."

"In my dream I saw a monster. It looked like a pocket. It had no face and its body was as red as flames. In addition, it had six legs and two pairs of wings."

"A monster? Six legs, two pairs of wings, and it's red like flames?"

Shi An's words left everyone present looking puzzled. Such a description was too bizarre; they had never heard of such a creature before.

"What kind of being is this? Could it be some ancient, primordial species?"

Shi Linhu frowned, trying to visualize the scene Shi An had described, but ultimately shook his head and gave up on this futile attempt. He then turned his gaze to Shi Yunfeng, hoping he could provide some answers.

Unfortunately, Shi Yunfeng was equally puzzled by this. He had lived for so long and had never heard of such a strange beast.

Finally, Shi Yunfeng had to ask Shi An again: "Little Shi An, did the monster in your dream say anything to you? Or did you get any special feelings or revelations from the dream?"

"this·······"

Upon hearing this, Shi An recalled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it didn't say anything, it just stood there quietly, like a statue."

After saying that, Shi An suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "However, I feel like there's something extra in my body after I woke up, but it's too little for me to clearly perceive."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yunfeng and Shi Linhu exchanged a glance. Clearly, Shi An's previous changes were inextricably linked to the monster in the dream.

However, they didn't want to pursue the matter any further, since such a thing sounded very bizarre and was completely beyond their level of knowledge.

Therefore, after Shi An finished speaking, Shi Yunfeng carried him out of the bronze cauldron and said softly, "Alright, since everything is alright now, don't think about these things anymore. You will figure it out when you grow up."

After Shi Yunfeng finished speaking, Shi Linhu quickly added, "Yes, the most important thing now is to get some rest and recover your energy!"

"I understand, Father, Grandpa Chief."

Seeing the two people's concerned looks, Shi An smiled and agreed.

So, in the days that followed, Shi An did not follow Shi Yunfeng in cultivation for the time being. Instead, under the careful care of the people in Shi Village, he gradually adapted to the power that had inexplicably appeared in his body.
