Ah Man chuckled beside her.
"Young Master, Ah Man has never seen anything like this before." How could Ah Man possibly have the opportunity to come to the Shi Kingdom's palace?
"That's alright." Shi Hao felt slightly relieved; he wasn't the only country bumpkin.
Guards could be seen at any time along the way, clad in armor and wielding swords, each exuding a powerful aura.
They guarded the palace day and night, and even absorbed some of the imperial aura, making them extremely majestic.
However, the guards pretended not to see Shi Hao and his companion's actions, allowing them to move freely and casually within the palace.
The order has already been issued: once Marquis Huangtian enters the palace, nothing should be stopped from him.
Shi Hao led Aman to the inner city gate of the palace, where they saw two ferocious beasts guarding the gate.
It was a two-headed Bixie, with a majestic and powerful aura and extraordinary bloodline.
This made Shi Hao's eyes light up. Wasn't this the ferocious beast guarding the village that he had been dreaming of?
Then Shi Hao thought of Yun Xi again, and couldn't help but feel a burning rage.
The female beast was too cunning; it was impossible to catch her, so there was no way to carry her back to the village to guard the gate.
"Hey, two big guys!" Shi Hao approached the two Bi'an and greeted them, but received no response.
But Shi Hao was not discouraged and still had a smile on his face.
"Do you want to come with me, work for me, and continue doing this job in my village?"
The two aloof Bi'an were stumped by Shi Hao's question.
Why would I leave the palace to guard the village with you? This Marquis of Desolation seems a bit dim-witted.
"Young Master, you can't say that." Ah Man really wanted to cover Shi Hao's mouth.
"Legend has it that deep within the palace, there lived an old Bixie, and the Bixie in the palace today are all offspring of that one."
Aman whispered something to Shi Hao.
"That old Bi'an has lived for a very long time and is said to be incredibly powerful. In the Stone Kingdom, it has become a kind of sacrificial spirit."
Shi Hao scratched his head, "Oh, I see. The offspring of the sacrificial spirit can't come with me after all."
"If I knock them unconscious and take them away, I'm afraid it will attract the spirits to hunt me down."
“No, the sacred spirit of our Stone Kingdom is not Bi’an, but another being.” A’man denied Shi Hao’s words.
"However, the Spirit Master is very mysterious, and very few people know anything about him."
"I don't know either, but the rumors outside say that the old Bi'an is not a sacrificial spirit, but just a similar existence."
"It's quite mysterious," Shi Hao muttered to himself, based on his years of experience listening to Brother Yun tell stories.
There must be some story behind this. If we dig deeper, we will uncover a lot of love, hate, and ancient secrets!
But what does that have to do with me?
"Lord Huangtian, if you want to enter the palace, hurry up and go in. The Emperor and the others are waiting for you," a gatekeeper Bi'an said.
These two, plotting loudly and whispering amongst themselves right under their noses, were simply unbearable for the beast.
They are alive, not just decorations!
"Hey everyone, if you ever change your mind, you can come find me!" Shi Hao didn't give up after learning that he wasn't a descendant of the sacrificial spirit.
"Or you could introduce your siblings, of course, it's up to you to decide."
"I'm the kind of person who never likes to force people."
Aman pulled Shi Hao and quickly entered the inner city; she was quite embarrassed.
Upon entering the inner city, a completely new atmosphere unfolded.
As they ventured deeper into a celestial palace, many things appeared around them.
There are dragons, old turtles, and precious medicines, all of which are powerful or extraordinary.
"Sister Aman, what conditions are needed to establish a country?" Shi Hao asked curiously.
After walking around the palace for a while, he felt that the palace was really too magnificent.
"If I had a palace like this someday, I could invite lots and lots of friends to come and play."
"In the future, the children in the village will have more things to play with besides raiding bird nests."
The little guy really longed for it, and his wish was quite simple: he just wanted a big place where he could have a great time.
Shi Hao was momentarily captivated.
"It should require someone who has been granted godhood, right?" Aman was also a little unsure, as much of what she learned was from books, like stories.
She couldn't guarantee its authenticity either.
Legend has it that an unparalleled powerhouse once ignited a divine fire, successfully becoming a god, overlooking the eight regions, and then founded the Stone Kingdom.
Ruling over a vast territory, with endless glorious years, an ancient kingdom was established and has been passed down to this day.
"Can a country be established just by bestowing titles upon gods?" Shi Hao tilted his head and thought for a moment.
"That seems pretty simple."
If someone with talent like Brother Lianyun can become a god, it seems establishing a nation really isn't that difficult.

Shi Hao looked at his hands. This time, he had hands; he could succeed!
After entering the inner city, guided by palace maids, Shi Hao arrived at the palace where Yun Hua and Shi Huang were staying.
As soon as he entered, Shi Hao attracted everyone's attention, even Aman was noticed.
This put Aman under immense pressure.
Most of the people here are Venerables, standing at the pinnacle of the Eight Domains, whose words can decide the life and death of millions.
Their lifespan is at least several thousand years, and they will rule the earth for a long time.
Even those who are not Venerables are the most valued people in their respective factions, and their future successors will surely become Venerables.
They can all be called young prodigies. Even if they were placed in the current Three Thousand Provinces, as long as they complete their foundation, their talent would be among the top tier.
Each of them was exceptionally brave and heroic, holding high positions for many years, commanding respect and possessing a natural air of authority.
Even without using their cultivation, their eyes exuded immense majesty, causing ordinary people to tremble at the sight of them.
Ah Man's body stiffened for a moment, and cold sweat appeared on his palms.
She grew up in the Wu King's mansion and the most powerful person she had ever seen was the Wu King.
But compared to anyone here, King Wu is nothing.
Being watched by so many supreme experts or young prodigies is putting a lot of pressure on me.
Shi Hao shifted his steps slightly, blocking Aman's path, and shouted with a stern face:
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen the best in the world before?!"
Everyone was taken aback, then burst into laughter. What a mischievous child!
"Young man, why do you not bow respectfully to us?"
"In the path of cultivation, those who have attained enlightenment are our teachers. If you are so disrespectful to us pioneers, we may have to give you a small punishment as a warning."
A cold voice rang out, and the Venerable of Demon Spirit Lake spoke again, his words aimed directly at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao was somewhat confused. Why was this person targeting him? Could he be from the Immortal Mountain?
The true form of the giant spider, which is at the Venerable level, is still beyond his ability to discern.
"You're really trying to look like an elephant by sticking a scallion into a spider's trunk."
Yun Hua's clear voice rang out as he stepped forward and looked at the Venerable One of Demon Spirit Lake.
"When did it become your place to lecture me about my successor?"
"According to you, all the younger generation present bowed to you, and those who didn't, you're going to punish them?"
"Well, we have to follow the proper order. You punish the others first, and then I'll personally deliver Shi Hao to you!"
The Venerable One of Demon Spirit Lake was silenced by Yun Hua.
Which junior could speak in such a setting? So, apart from some forces that were particularly close to Demon Spirit Lake, the juniors from other forces did not greet him.
If he were to truly punish them, the scope would be vast. Furthermore, there are many forces that even Demon Spirit Lake wouldn't want to provoke.
For example, those major factions outside the region.
He dared to attack someone else's best successor, so they dared to attack him in return.
"Hmph, so it's the old spider." Shi Hao curled his lip. This force was no good; he would have to pay them a visit sooner or later.
"Still trying to target me? Little did they know my backer has arrived!"
Shi Hao shifted his gaze, no longer looking at the people at Demon Spirit Lake, as they were also annoying to look at.
He couldn't act arrogantly in such a situation.
It wasn't that he was afraid. Shi Hao definitely had people and things he was afraid of, but these people he had never met before were definitely not among them.
The main reason is that his parents are here too. Actually, he's a good kid, and we can't let his parents think he's gone astray.
Besides, with Brother Yun here, there's no need for him to worry about these things.
Wherever Brother Yun is, he never worries about being in danger or suffering any injustice.
I feel incredibly at ease. Brother Yun will always be my strongest support!
Shi Hao's eyes lit up when he saw the Fire Emperor, and he greeted him warmly.
"Big brother, it's great to see you again! My little niece is here too!"
Helpless, the Fire Emperor nodded in response to Shi Hao.
Huo Ling'er gritted her teeth; if the occasion weren't inappropriate, she would definitely have kicked Shi Hao's butt hard.
Before, they would call her "fat girl" when they met, but now they've gone even further, calling her "little niece" in front of so many people.
"Master, you've come too!" Little Dot greeted another person.
The Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion.
"Is Grandpa Calabash doing well? I miss him so much. I'll go see him in a while. Please tell him how much I miss him!"
"Otherwise, I'll report you for badmouthing me!"
The Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion nodded with a smile, "Lord Sacrificial Spirit misses you very much and often talks about you."
"Hey, you two are here too, big and little beasts!"
Yunxi from Tianshen Mountain and her grandfather did not escape Shi Hao's eyes.
"The payment for our trip to Kunpeng's Nest hasn't been settled yet. Remember to settle it with me when you have time."
"Wasn't the payment given to you before you set off?" Yunxi frowned.
I really dislike Shi Hao; that brat is awful.
"Interest? Of course, you have to pay interest for asking me to do this!" Shi Hao said matter-of-factly.
Shi Hao saw another person whose temperament was somewhat similar to that of the Fire Emperor, but slightly more profound and reserved, yet still exuding the aura of an emperor.
Shi Hao's eyes darted around and he immediately recognized the person. The Emperor of the Stone Kingdom, the Stone Emperor.
He can also be described as the patriarch of the entire Stone Clan.
"This must be Senior Stone Emperor, right?"
“It’s me.” Shi Huang nodded. “Child, you are outstanding.”
"Of course!" Shi Hao accepted the Emperor's praise without any modesty.
"Senior Stone Emperor, I've known about you for a long time. Brother Yun often tells me your stories."
The Stone Emperor was somewhat surprised. The gods were telling this child their own stories?
Could it be that the gods have no complaints about me, and even hope that this child will have no complaints about me, and even return to the Stone Clan?
