Divine Beast Sect, Myriad Beasts Extreme Light Hall.
An ox deity with a single dark yellow eye in the center of his face was sitting on an ancient jade throne. His entire body was ashen grey, and his breathing was accompanied by thunderclaps.
Purple-gold lightning coiled around its body, flickering and dazzling like the sun and moon.
That single, thick leg seemed to be able to flatten a mountain with a single stomp.
This ox deity was the Divine Beast Sect's Grand Elder, Kui Ox!
It was a renowned Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure, but it was currently looking forward with a grave expression.
There was an extremely graceful divine sparrow up ahead.
Her feathers were extremely beautiful, rippling with nine different colors. Her tail feathers were like a dancing dress, overflowing with light and vibrant colors, as if a colorful goddess was dancing in the sky.
Even though the divine vermilion bird was merely standing on the spot, it was already a spectacular sight to behold.
"Mr. Kui, have you made up your mind? You've already been thinking for three days," the divine vermilion bird said in an unhurried voice.
"This … Your offer is indeed very tempting. Two Nine Flame True Yang Fruits are already as valuable as two Divine Fruits … However, the price is to enter the Death Lightning Grounds in the Five-Colored Lightning Pool and take away all of the treasures inside …" Kui Niu said with a conflicted look on his face.
The divine vermilion bird chuckled. "The treasures inside might not even be worth two Nine Flame True Yang Fruits."
"Furthermore, even you, a Divine Beast that stands at the peak of the Lightning Attribute, can't enter, yet I have a way to do so. You've given me two Nine Flame True Yang Fruits for nothing. Are you still not satisfied with this?"
One had to admit that the Kui Ox was tempted.
The Five-Colored Lightning Pit was one of the ten most perilous places in the Kingdom of the Nine States.
It usually used the Five-colored Lightning Pool to temper its body, but the Death Lightning Land was like a forbidden area. Even it couldn't force its way in.
It wasn't that there weren't any other Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures who were interested in this place. However, the one who had offered the highest price was the divine vermilion bird, who was standing before it.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird from the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation!
Just as Kui Niu was hesitating, a loud voice came from outside.
"Divine Beast Sect's Bai Xian seeks an audience with Elder Kui Niu."
"Come in."
Hearing Bai Xian's voice, Kui Niu's expression softened.
A mighty and majestic white dog walked in.
The huge dog's expression shifted drastically at the sight of the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was an extremely mysterious mythological beast of the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, and she very rarely appeared outside of the Sun Tree. Why would she appear at the Mythological Beast Sect?
Bai Xian could still recall the only time he had seen the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird. She had visited the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation as a representative of the Mythological Beast Sect. At that time, the divine sparrow suddenly appeared and soared through the nine heavens, scattering rainbow-colored feathers down from the sky. It was beautiful beyond compare and proud, stunning countless beasts.
It could be said that the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was the goddess of the beast tribe. She was beautiful, powerful, and holy.
"Allow me to introduce you two. This is the mythological beast of the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird. This is one of the Three Immortal Beast Overlords of our sect, Bai Xian," Kui introduced.
"Greetings, Senior Divine Sparrow." Bai Xian bowed respectfully.
"Mr. Bai Xian." The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird nodded in greeting.
The Kui Cow asked curiously, "Bai Xian, why are you looking for me?"
"The sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, An Lin, would like to borrow your Five-Colored Lightning Pit," Bai Xian said.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird's eyes lit up, but she didn't say anything.
"Oh? He wants to come to my Five-Colored Lightning Pit? That's my exclusive territory. What does he want? "Kui asked.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect was very renowned, and Kui knew a little about An Lin, so he didn't immediately refuse.
"He seems to want to refine his body. As you know, he's a lightning expert, and he's also very interested in the Five-Colored Lightning Pit." Bai Xian didn't tell Kui about his search for the bead. Otherwise, it would be the same as telling Kui that there was a treasure in the Five-Colored Lightning Pit.
Kui was contemplating whether he should agree or not.
The Five-Colored Lightning Pit was an extremely important restricted area to him. If something were to happen to it, he would be heartbroken.
"Well … How about we talk about it later? I'm currently discussing the Five-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird with the Five-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird …" Kui hesitated for a moment before deciding to decline.
"Ah, there's no need." An extremely pleasant voice sounded.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird suddenly spoke, "I'm quite interested in this legendary sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. If you agree to let me enter the Five-Colored Lightning Pit, I don't mind going with him. This way, you'll get the treasure, and you'll sell the favor. What's there to be unhappy about? "
Kui thought about it for a moment, and it made sense.
No matter how powerful An Lin was, he would only be able to wander around the Five-Colored Lightning Pit. What could he possibly do?
The Four Nine Immortal Sect was as powerful as the Nine Imperials now, so it would be easier for him to do the sect leader some favors in the future. Besides, even the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird and Bai Xian had spoken up for him.
Hmm … Speaking of which, the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was quite a proud and ethereal being, so it was quite strange that she was interested in An Lin.
Kui was a little surprised, but he still nodded in the end. "Alright, bring An Lin to see me. Also, Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird, I agree to your conditions!"
A vibrant smile appeared on the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird's face. "Thank you, Mr. Kui."
Bai Xian also departed in a respectful manner.
…
Soon, An Lin received this piece of good news.
Under Bai Xian's guidance, he passed through countless statues of ferocious beasts before finally arriving at a hall that was emanating bursts of divine light.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he was almost blinded by the radiance of the lightning, which was as bright as the sun and moon.
"Junior An Lin pays his respects to Senior Kui." An Lin made a respectful gesture.
He then turned to look at the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was simply too beautiful and eye-catching. Her colorful feathers glowed with divine light, and her energy fluctuations were as warm as the spring breeze.
He turned to look at the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird, only to find that the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was also looking at him, and their eyes met.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird glanced at him before immediately turning away with a haughty expression.
An Lin was a little confused. He felt like this Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was very familiar.
"Allow me to introduce you. This is the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird of the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, and this is An Lin of the Four Nine Immortal Sect," Kui introduced with a wide grin.
An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath. It was her!
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird of the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, the Vermilion Bird Princess!
An Lin was looking at the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird with a completely different expression.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird raised her haughty head and looked straight ahead. "So you're An Lin of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. You look quite good. You're quite an exceptional young prodigy."
An Lin: "…"
What the hell was she trying to do? Was she playing a game of pretending not to know him?
"So you're the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird of the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation. It's an honor to meet you! You really are the most beautiful mythological beast!" An Lin praised.
A faint blush appeared on the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird's face, but she didn't say anything.
Kui didn't notice the peculiar atmosphere between the two of them. "Come with me, I'll take you to the Five-Colored Lightning Pit."
