"The four Holy Beasts are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuan Wu. They are the most powerful beings in the universe. They are immortal and eternal.
"I represent the one and only. There is only one being in the entire universe that can be called the Vermilion Bird."
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird looked at Xu Xiaolan and said slowly, "However, I don't represent the one and only. In fact, I'm not the one and only. Instead, it's this …"
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird opened her tiny mouth and spat out a crimson bead.
The entire heaven and earth changed color the moment the bead appeared.
An Lin saw a light that was even more dazzling and majestic than the sun from within the bead. An extremely pure flame power slowly flowed within the bead. An aura of eternity permeated the air. It was as if it had existed since the beginning of the universe and had been brewing for countless years.
He felt as if he were facing a supreme and indestructible god.
Majestic and unique.
Xu Xiaolan was even more affected by the throbbing in her bloodline.
"This is the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence." The Great Empress Vermilion Bird said, "Anyone who can fuse with the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence can become a Holy Berth. This is something that all powerful beings in the Realm of Stars desire.
"However, the one and only of my tribe is not me. It's the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.
"Whoever possesses the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence can become a Holy Berth Vermilion Bird.
"Xiaolan, you can also become a Vermilion Bird, one of the four Holy Berths!"
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird's voice caused Xu Xiaolan's heart to tremble.
Four Holy Berths … She can also become one of the four Holy Berths?
"But I … I'm not even at the God of Creation Stage …" Xu Xiaolan pouted.
"Your growth and potential are far beyond my imagination. You've reached the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage in a short hundred years. I believe that with the help of the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence, you can quickly take the final step and reach the God of Creation Stage. Then, you can become a Holy Berth!" The Great Empress Vermilion Bird looked at Xu Xiaolan with admiration and mysterious confidence.
An Lin was already numb to all of this.
Great! She wasn't satisfied with the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage, and now, she wanted to take two big steps at once?
Wasn't she afraid of pulling on her balls by taking such big steps?
Wait, no, Xiaolan doesn't have an egg.
An Lin suddenly thought of what Xu Xiaolan had told him before.
She was worried that An Lin would not be able to keep up with her if she went too far on the path of seeking Dao. She was also worried that An Lin would not be able to accompany her. An Lin felt insulted at that time! But now, An Lin felt a sense of crisis …
What if he really couldn't keep up with Xiaolan?
From An Aotian to An Aotian?
The strongest son-in-law in history?
Aiya! How humiliating!
However, it didn't seem impossible …
An Lin was lost in his thoughts.
Xu Xiaolan expressed her confusion again. "One last question. Why did you pass the Sainthood to me, and what do you intend to do?"
A hint of melancholy finally appeared on the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's smiling face. "It's a long story. In any case, the Sainthood is a burden to me.
"Pangu suppressed me. Not only did he severely injure me, but he also used some kind of technique on the Sainthood to suppress my power. As long as I am still a Vermilion Bird, the Sainthood's suppression will not disappear.
"Thus, the Sainthood is a cage for me. Only by passing the Sainthood to the next successor can I eliminate Pangu's power and break free from this terrifying restriction.
"However, it is extremely difficult to find someone who is qualified to inherit my Sainthood … Even the Six Vermilion Bird Sages do not have the qualifications to do so. Until I met you …"
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird gazed tenderly at Xu Xiaolan. Then, she extended her slender, snow-white hand and held onto Xu Xiaolan's hand. "Perhaps you're the person that the heavens sent to save me!"
Xu Xiaolan stared blankly at the Great Empress Vermilion Bird.
An Lin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood rooted to the spot.
The Six Vermilion Bird Sages felt as if their hearts had been ruthlessly stabbed by swords.
This works too?!
"Come, follow my instructions and try to touch the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. See if you can obtain its approval …" The Great Empress Vermilion Bird placed the crimson bead in front of Xu Xiaolan.
"Use the power of your bloodline and communicate with the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence will emit a corresponding light. Each type of light corresponds to a different level of adaptability. In total, there are seven levels: crimson, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Crimson is the highest level, while purple is the lowest.
"When your adaptability with the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence reaches the yellow level, you can attempt to refine it. Go ahead and give it a try." The Great Empress Vermilion Bird's eyes were filled with anticipation and encouragement as she looked at the azure-clothed female.
Xu Xiaolan gazed at the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.
From within this crimson bead, she could sense an extremely mighty power that she yearned for. Absolute light, absolute heat, absolute nobility, and absolute holiness. Furthermore, it was so unique.
"So beautiful …"
Xu Xiaolan stretched out her hand and touched the crimson bead.
Boom!
An extremely dazzling light suddenly erupted from the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.
At first, it was purple. Then, it instantly jumped to yellow. It had reached the threshold of refinement.
A hint of joy appeared on Xu Xiaolan's face. At this moment, the light changed from yellow to orange.
"Her aptitude is actually so good …" The Great Empress Vermilion Bird looked at Xu Xiaolan in surprise.
Xu Xiaolan's heart was filled with confidence. Orange should be quite outstanding. After all, yellow should be enough to refine it.
Little did she know that even the Six Vermilion Bird Sages with top-notch bloodlines were only green in the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's estimation. Orange was already an extremely freakish level of adaptability.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird smiled and was just about to speak.
Suddenly, the True Dragon bloodline in Xu Xiaolan's body pushed against the Vermilion Bird bloodline.
Boom!
The light from the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence became more intense. Then, it gradually changed from orange to crimson red. The crimson light was so intense that it was as if countless drops of liquid were slowly flowing into the surroundings.
Upon seeing this, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird lost her composure for the first time. Her breathing quickened, and her gaze toward Xu Xiaolan became even more scorching.
"This … Is this the highest level of adaptability?" Xu Xiaolan was overjoyed.
"It's just a mere crimson. What's there to be proud of?"
"That's right. You're just a country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world."
"Our Great Empress Vermilion Bird also has a crimson adaptability like you. That's because the maximum level of adaptability is crimson. Otherwise, any other color would be surpassed by our Great Empress Vermilion Bird!"
The Six Vermilion Bird Sages who had eaten lemons were extremely jealous.
"Enough! Don't speak! "the Great Empress Vermilion Bird suddenly shouted.
The Six Vermilion Bird Sages, who were chatting excitedly, instantly fell silent.
However, even though they had been muted, they still straightened their necks and looked arrogantly at Xu Xiaolan. It was unknown where their confidence came from.
"Xiaolan! Let's go. I'll officially let you inherit my Holy Berth now! "The Great Empress Vermilion Bird held onto Xu Xiaolan's hand with a warm expression.
"Huh? So soon? "Xu Xiaolan was a little astonished.
She still hadn't mentally prepared herself for this.
"No, no, I've already prepared everything for you. All that's left is for you to embark on the path of a paragon. This is a win-win situation. Come, follow me!" As she spoke, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird dragged Xu Xiaolan toward a certain direction.
An Lin felt a strong sense of déjà vu upon seeing this.
