Chapter 8 Shi Anzhizhong
At the medicinal bath area, seeing Shi Yunfeng leading Shi An over, Shi Linhu, who had been watching the other little ones taking medicinal baths, immediately went over.
"Clan leader, are you planning to make Xiao An..."
Before Shi Linhu could finish speaking, Shi Yunfeng replied, "Yes, I brought Xiao Shi'an here for a medicinal bath."
"Can······"
Upon hearing that Shi Yunfeng indeed had this plan, Shi Linhu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately stepped aside after seeing Shi An's determined gaze.
Seeing this, Shi Yunfeng immediately turned to Shi An and said gently, "Little Shi An, come in!"
"Um!"
Shi An nodded, and then resolutely entered the bronze cauldron to begin another medicinal bath.
At the same time, seeing Shi An begin his medicinal bath again, the spirit in the distance immediately extended willow branches over.
As she expected, she discovered that the energy had reappeared within Shi An's body this time.
Whether it was because of the previous experience that Shi An's body had adapted, or because his body had been changed after the last time and could withstand such an impact, Shi An remained very calm this time.
However, what she didn't know was that although Shi An's body appeared calm, his heart was anything but calm, because this time he dreamed of that strange beast again, Di Jiang, one of the twelve ancestral witches of the primordial era!
Unlike before, this time he wasn't just standing there watching Shi An, but was fighting against a figure with an overwhelming aura of imperial power.
The battle between the two was like a colossal beast colliding with the heavens and the earth, a scene of immense scale and grandeur.
Their movements were extremely fast and intense. The powerful shocks, clashes, and battles that emanated from them caused the sun and moon to lose their light and the stars to dim.
Their power resounds throughout heaven and earth, is imprinted in the long river of time, and resonates deep within the souls of all beings, past and present.
This great battle was like the most magnificent scene in the primordial world, with the power of heaven and earth surging and the whole world changing color.
Their power surged and raged, tearing the battlefield apart like a devastating force, seemingly about to rip the entire world apart.
"when!"
After an unknown amount of time, a bell tolled, reaching deep into his soul, instantly waking Shi An from his reverie.
"That is..."
Inside the bronze cauldron, Shi An, who had been awakened, had a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
Although it was just a brief dream scene, if he was not mistaken, the one fighting against Dijiang should be the emperor of the demon race's heavenly court—Donghuang Taiyi, who held the Donghuang Bell!
Shi An was so shocked that he could hardly calm down. He never expected that he could glimpse such an ancient and amazing battle scene through a dream triggered by a medicinal bath.
That was a legendary primordial powerhouse!
The Ancestral Witch—Dijiang, and the Demon Emperor—Donghuang Taiyi!
One controlled space, mysterious and unpredictable; the other possessed the ultimate Yang fire, awe-inspiring to the demon race. Their duel, even across the endless dream of time and space, made Shi An's mind tremble and he could not control himself for a long time.
The dream felt so real to him, as if he had experienced it himself.
Even though he has now woken up, Shi An can still feel his blood boiling, as if he were being stirred by that ancient power.
"Could it be that some secret related to these ancient beings is truly hidden within me?"
Suddenly, Shi An pondered to himself, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the golden bell that had protected him from the wolf pack when he first came into this world.
"Could that be the Chaos Bell?"
As he pondered, a thought flashed through Shi An's mind.
"Xiao Shi'an, are you alright?"
However, just then, a concerned voice suddenly entered his ears, interrupting his thoughts.
It turned out that Shi Yunfeng saw that Shi An had woken up from the medicinal bath, but his face was slightly pale and there was still a strange shock in his eyes, so he quickly asked about his condition.
Seeing this, Shi An could only take a deep breath, try to calm himself down, and then replied with a smile, "Grandpa Clan Chief, I'm fine, I just had that dream again."
"Is that so..."
Upon hearing that Shi An had that dream again, Shi Yunfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not ask any further questions. He knew very well that even if Shi An told him, he would not understand, and it would only add to his troubles.
After a brief pause, Shi Yunfeng changed the subject and said gently, "Since there's nothing else, let's come out. It's almost time for your medicinal bath."
Upon hearing this, Shi An nodded, then slowly rose from the bronze cauldron and walked out.
However, what puzzled Shi Yunfeng and Shi Linhu was that after Shi An left the bronze cauldron, he did not go straight home, but instead turned around and went to the Sacrificial Spirit Master.
"Lord Priest, may I ask you a question?"
Under the lightning-struck tree, Shi An looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is there something inside your body, kid?"
"Yes."
As soon as Shi An finished speaking, the spirit's voice came: "Within your body, or rather in your sea of consciousness, there exists something extraordinary. It is a bell, a bell covered in blood."
"A blood-stained clock?"
These words from the spirit priest puzzled Shi An greatly.
How could this be? How could it be covered in blood? If his guess was correct, the bell residing in his sea of consciousness might be the Dao-proving treasure of Donghuang Taiyi—the Donghuang Bell, also known as the Chaos Bell!
How could the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure, be covered in blood?
This left Shi An puzzled, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had guessed wrong. Perhaps what was inside him wasn't the Chaos Bell at all, but some other kind of bell.
Perhaps sensing what Shi An was thinking, the spirit spoke again: "The reason you had such a hard time last time was because there was a strand of blood in your body, and that strand of blood came from the bell."
"Not only that, this time during the medicinal bath, there was also a trace of blood in your body, and it was more than last time."
"this·······"
After hearing the explanation from the spirit, Shi An was taken aback at first, but then he lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
So, the bell inside his body might actually be the Chaos Bell. It's just that the battle between its former master, Donghuang Taiyi, and Dijiang was so intense that Dijiang's blood remained on it.
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Lord Spirit."
After figuring it out, Shi An thanked the spirit and then sat cross-legged, preparing to enter a meditative state.
Suddenly, Shi An seemed to remember something, scratched his head, looked at the tall lightning-struck tree, and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Um... Lord Spirit Master, do you have a name?"
"Throughout the ages, I have forgotten my original name, I only know that people call me—the Willow Goddess!"
"The Willow Goddess..."
Shi An repeated softly, a surge of inexplicable respect and closeness welling up within him. Then he nodded again in thanks, "Thank you, Goddess Liu!"
Afterwards, Shi An sat cross-legged and began to cultivate according to the method taught by Shi Yunfeng.
