An Lin couldn't help but feel like this scene was extremely familiar.
The passionate Great Empress Vermilion Bird, the heavenly fortuitous opportunity, and the ignorant Xiaolan …
An Lin pondered for a moment. Isn't this so similar to the first time I met Daolord Lu Ya?
Holy sh * t! This isn't a trap, right?!
An Lin suddenly started to panic. At this moment, he saw the Great Empress Vermilion Bird holding Xu Xiaolan's hand and striding off into the distance. He immediately eagerly followed after them.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird tilted her head toward the Six Vermilion Bird Sages and said calmly, "I'm going to the Vermilion Bird Spell Altar with Ms. Xu Xiaolan. Guard the surroundings and protect me!"
The Six Vermilion Bird Sages immediately lowered their heads and complied.
"I guarantee that I will complete this mission!"
"I swear to serve the Great Empress Vermilion Bird with my life!"
"Is there really no way to change your mind …"
The Six Vermilion Bird Sages' eyes turned red as they looked toward the woman in a red feather dress.
"I've made up my mind. From now on, Xu Xiaolan will be your Vermilion Bird!" After saying this, the woman turned around and walked away without looking at the weeping Six Vermilion Bird Sages.
Soon, a complicated and intricate spell formation appeared before them.
This spell formation was of a very high level. It was a God of Creation Stage spell formation that possessed the power to split heaven and earth.
In the center of the spell formation was a statue of a soaring phoenix. It was at least thirty thousand feet tall, and there was a circular spell altar on its back. Several thousand types of divine flames floated above the altar like will-o '-the-wisps, causing An Lin to gasp in amazement.
"Mr. An Lin, please wait outside the spell formation. Xiaolan and I will enter the Vermilion Bird Spell Altar to carry out the Holy Berth handover ceremony." The Great Empress Vermilion Bird looked at An Lin with an extremely mesmerizing expression. Her words were also very difficult to refuse.
"No, I want to go in as well. I'm Xiaolan's personal bodyguard, literally." An Lin rejected the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's proposal almost without any hesitation.
How could he miss out on something as important as the succession of the Saints?
There was a hint of grievance on the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's beautiful face. She flicked her sleeves and said, "But … if you get too close, you'll distract us during the Holy Berth Handover. If that happens, it won't be worth it …"
Xu Xiaolan stood up and said, "It's okay. I'll feel more at ease with An Lin by my side. Let him stay by my side."
Great Empress Vermilion Bird: "…"
This most revered being of the Vermilion Bird Tribe finally relented under Xu Xiaolan's insistence, but she insisted that An Lin maintain a distance of one kilometer from them.
Soon, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird and Xu Xiaolan began the handover of the Holy Berth.
The Holy Berth handover process was quite simple. After the Great Empress Vermilion Bird found a successor, she would sever her connection with the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. Then, the successor would refine the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence and ascend to the paramount Holy Berth.
However, this was merely a simple process.
How difficult was it to find a qualified successor that was acknowledged by the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence? How difficult was it to completely separate the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence from its original owner? This was practically a grand feat akin to stealing the heavens and replacing the sun.
The risks involved in carrying out this task were simply impossible to predict.
Never would Xu Xiaolan have imagined that she would somehow have to inherit the Holy Berth of the Vermilion Bird in order to resolve her karma … Although inheriting the Holy Berth could free the Great Empress Vermilion Bird, this could also be considered a form of repayment. However, to Xu Xiaolan herself, this was also an immeasurable opportunity …
Fate sure is mysterious.
The mysteries of this dao caused her to feel a little fearful.
Why is my luck so good?
This was the question that Xu Xiaolan was currently thinking about.
Following the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's request, her fingers danced in the air as she constructed one divine seal after another.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird also tightly shut her eyes as she chanted one mystical word after another. In any case, An Lin couldn't understand what she was saying. However, he could still sense that these syllables were connected to a certain rhythm of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
The Vermilion Bird Heart Essence hovered between the two of them. It was as red as blood, and it revolved rapidly as it exuded an eternal aura.
The Great Empress Vermilion Bird suddenly opened her beautiful blue eyes and said, "Offer your origin blood essence to the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence and try to make it accept you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaolan slit her wrist and allowed her origin blood essence to flow toward the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.
Like a tiny stream of water, the blood essence fused into the crimson bead.
Immediately, the bead released a demonic red glow. It flickered incessantly, and its color also became increasingly pure.
Xu Xiaolan let loose a muffled groan, and her features paled slightly. Even her aura had become a little feeble. The wound on her wrist had yet to heal, and the essential blood essence within her body was still being absorbed relentlessly …
An Lin frowned slightly upon seeing this. His heart ached slightly. "Shouldn't a few drops be enough to absorb the origin blood essence? Why does it need to absorb so much? "
As if to dispel An Lin's worries, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird quickly explained with a focused expression, "Refining the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence is a process of putting one's life on the line. One needs to feed the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence with origin blood essence so that it will possess a large portion of the refiner's aura. Only then will the two sides be compatible. Thus, an extremely large amount of blood essence is required!"
Upon hearing this, An Lin's anxiety didn't subside. He looked at Xu Xiaolan and discovered that she was in a very bad state. Furthermore, she was instinctively afraid and shrinking back.
"Xiaolan, are you alright? Can you still hold on? "An Lin asked anxiously.
Xu Xiaolan's brows were tightly furrowed, and her beautiful face became increasingly pale. "I … I can still …"
An Lin was extremely worried. The Holy Berth and whatnot was secondary. Xu Xiaolan's safety was the most important. With this in mind, his eyes gradually turned snow-white.
Divine Inspection Technique!
An Lin looked at Xu Xiaolan's condition and discovered that Xu Xiaolan's condition was very strange. Not only was her origin blood essence continuously leaving her body, but even a certain aura was also leaving her body and fusing with the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence.
What was it that was leaving Xu Xiaolan's body?
He couldn't see through it even with his Divine Inspection Technique.
An Lin then turned his gaze toward the Great Empress Vermilion Bird. He discovered that her body was enveloped by a thin membrane that completely prevented him from seeing through it.
Heh … Can't see through it?
Sorry, this concerns Xu Xiaolan's safety. No matter what it is, I, An Lin, will see through it clearly!
An Lin didn't dare to rashly interrupt the Holy Berth handover. However, this didn't mean that he had to accept this state of ignorance. He had to figure out Xu Xiaolan's true condition.
An Lin's eyes became clear and transparent. At the same time, countless pieces of information appeared before his eyes and appeared in his mind. All the secrets were seen through by his eyes.
Divine Simulation Technique!
The power of An Lin's divine sense was rapidly being consumed.
He finally saw through Xu Xiaolan's current condition. He also saw through the Great Empress Vermilion Bird's condition.
He was stunned at first. It was as if he couldn't believe everything that was happening.
However, in the next instant, he immediately flared up with rage!
Boom!
Boundless rage seemed to be about to burst through heaven and earth.
An Lin's voice pierced through the clouds. "Xiaolan! Stop right now! "
