"It's just a small gift, it can be considered as helping the two of you calm down. If used properly, I believe they'll be able to help the two of you grow a pair of arms. I hope the two of you can become friends of my Fire Crow Clan in the future." Ji Dong was obviously bribing them outright. The Fire Owls were much smarter than the Fire Ravens and the two Fire Owls immediately nodded in agreement without much hesitation.
They could all see how strong Ji Dong was. Even an existence like the Fire Owl Lord had been destroyed in a few exchanges, and he had indeed saved their lives before. They naturally understood what Ji Dong meant. Having such a strong friend was better than having such a strong enemy. Not to mention, they'd seen the eruption of the Fire Ravens under the command of Ji Dong's soul. They could vaguely sense that the Fire Ravens would likely become different from before.
"Many thanks to Sire Three Legged Golden Crow for his generous gift." The two Fire Owls said in unison.
Ji Dong smiled faintly and said, "It's not a generous gift. Please return to the headquarters as soon as possible and ask the Holy Church to send a new emissary. From now on, I am the ruler of the Fire Ravens. I will take over as the elder of the Fire Ravens."
"Yes, we understand." The two Fire Owls responded and spread the bare wings on their backs, flying into the passageway to the third floor.
"Almighty Lord, are we really going to let them go just like that? We killed the emissary after all. The Holy Church can't blame us if they disappear together. After all, we've always been so weak in the eyes of the Holy Church. No one will suspect us. "The Fire Raven King said a bit urgently to Hyōhime.
A trace of a smile appeared on Ji Dong's face when he heard the Fire Raven King's words. The Fire Raven King was simple-minded and his words weren't pretentious at all. He'd said that they'd killed the emissary, not that Ji Dong had killed the emissary alone. Ji Dong's impression of the Raven King was greatly improved from this simple sentence. He shook his head, "Your vision is too shortsighted. Do you think that's the end of the matter with just killing people to keep their mouths shut? If the Holy Church really wants to investigate, they'll naturally know what's going on. One day, they'll reveal a flaw. I believe that these two Flame Owls won't dare to speak carelessly when they return. Otherwise, they'll have to endure my wrath. I've left a strand of my soul in each of their bodies, and they know that. If they make a decision that's disadvantageous to the Fire Ravens, then no matter where they flee to in the core world, I'll be able to find them and tear them into pieces. "
The Raven King started momentarily. He'd never thought that something like this could be done. A few traces of admiration appeared in his eyes as he said, "Great Lord, your servant will listen to your every command in the future."
Ji Dong said, "Then why did the Fireowl Overlord come to find you this time? What celebration is the Holy Church holding? "
The Raven King's expression became a bit odd when he heard Ji Dong's question. "He didn't say the specifics, but I've heard that something has happened to the great Flaming Bar Head of our Holy Church. We haven't seen him in a long time, and this celebration is likely related to the election of a new head. Our core world has enjoyed unprecedented peace since the founding of the Holy Church. Although there have been occasional conflicts between the various races, we've been able to coexist peacefully. Every race is very satisfied with the current situation. All of this was bestowed upon us by the great Flaming Bar God. Now that the great Flaming Bar God has disappeared, we can't be without a head. Otherwise, the Holy Church will fall into chaos before long. Therefore, the three venerated elders and the thirty six core elders have decided to hold this celebration in order to elect a new head to preside over the Holy Church and make all final decisions before the great Flaming Bar God returns."
A strong sense of sorrow rose in Ji Dong's heart when he heard the Flaming Bar mentioned. Flaming Bar, oh Flaming Bar, so you've done so much for the core world.
"Raven King, who can participate in the selection?" Ji Dong stared at the Raven King with a burning gaze as he asked.
The Raven King said, "Theoretically speaking, the selection should be made from the three venerated elders, the thirty six core elders, and the two hundred or so ordinary elders. The position of acting head should belong to one of the three venerated elders."
Ji Dong's heart began to burn with an unprecedented fervor when he heard the Raven King's explanation. "Then did the Flaming Owl Overlord bring any proof to participate in this celebration?"
The Raven King nodded. "He did bring proof, but he didn't give it to me."
Ji Dong was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Why?"
The Raven King said with righteous indignation, "The Flaming Owl Overlord said that I was too weak and that it would be a waste of time to participate in the celebration. He wouldn't give me the medallion and said that he wanted to take my elder medallion for him to experience. This is also why I said that you would represent the Fire Raven Tribe in this celebration when I saw you. It was to retrieve the medallion from him. Even if I'm weak, I'm still one of the elders. Why should I let him go? Now that you've returned, you should be the one to observe the ceremony. However, the medallion should no longer exist now. It's likely been burnt to nothingness under your intense flames just now."
Ji Dong's brow furrowed deeply. "Then what do we do now? Are we unable to participate in this celebration? "
The Raven King smiled wryly. "If the two Flaming Owls had reported back as you've said, they would've sent a new envoy and given us the medallion. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to participate in this celebration."
Ji Dong said exasperatedly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?" He wouldn't have let the two Flaming Owls leave if he'd known earlier.
The Raven King looked pitifully at Ji Dong. "You didn't ask me!"
"Wait." A thought flashed through Ji Dong's mind. "You said just now that the Flaming Owl Overlord wanted to take your medallion for himself to participate in the celebration. What's going on? You're an elder and it's not. Can it be that it's fine just because it has the medallion?"
The Raven King sighed and nodded. "Yes, the Holy Faith will send out a certain number of medallions every celebration to us elders in order to ensure that the medallions are distributed. However, only the medallion is recognized when we participate in the celebration. Even humans who enter the core of the world can participate in the celebration as long as they have the medallion. Every level's checkpoint has to let them through. Therefore, medallion robberies happen every time. However, this is the first time that an envoy of the Holy Faith has forcefully taken our medallion. It's because we Fire Ravens are too weak and they know that we don't have the ability to complain."
The Raven King grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, but he suddenly discovered to his surprise that the great lord of their tribe was smiling, and a bit sinister at that.
"Great Lord, what are you smiling about?" The Raven King probed.
Ji Dong smiled faintly. "If that's the case, then it'll be easy. How long until the celebration begins?"
The Raven King said, "Three months from now. It'll take at least a month's journey from here to the fifteenth level."
Ji Dong nodded. "Then it'll be easy. We don't need to wait for the Holy Faith to send new envoys. Since the medallions have already been sent out, we can just go snatch a few back. If you want to go, you can go too."
"Ah? We're going to go snatch someone else's? " The Raven King stared at Ji Dong, dumbfounded. He'd never thought of something like this. His medallion, as well as that of the King of the Fire Spirit Tribe, were always destined to be snatched away at every celebration like this. When had it ever been their turn to snatch someone else's?
Ji Dong snorted coldly. "Since they can snatch ours, why can't we snatch theirs?"
The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon had already landed on Ji Dong's back at this time. Without Ji Dong's support, the Heavenly Stem disciples' Five Elemental Yin Yang World had already been released.
The group of Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples jumped off the back of the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon one after another. Without the protection of the Five Elements Yin Yang World, they had truly come into contact with the environment here. The surrounding temperature and the rich fire element in the air made everyone uncomfortable, especially the water element Du Ming and Lan Baoer, who were water element, and the metal element Du Xin 'er, who were metal element. Although Ah Jin was also metal element, it had the strong body of the dragon race and the powerful strength of level 89, so it was not very obvious.
When Ji Dong dealt with the Fire Owl Overlord, he used his soul to communicate with his companions again. He had to let them know what had happened.
Fury laughed. "Little Junior Brother, it seems like we can go straight to the fifteenth floor and participate in the celebration of the Saint. Since the Saint of the Flaming Bar was founded by the Flaming Bar, you have to be the acting leader. Later on, let's all get a token. When the time comes, we can all participate in the selection of the acting leader. We can also help you share some of the pressure. It can also be considered as training.
Ji Dong nodded, "That's exactly what I was thinking. However, there's still some time before the celebration begins. Let's wait for a month. If the Holy Church doesn't send a new emissary within a month, then we'll have to wait for a month. We'll snatch the tokens right away and head to the Flaming Bar's headquarters. If they send us the tokens, we'll snatch them too, but we'll have to do it later. "
Fury was taken aback for a moment before he said, "A month later? Then what are we going to do in the next month? Stay here? There won't be enough pressuring combat. Even with the help of your Five Elements Engendering and Five Elements Yin Yang Boundary, it won't be very effective for everyone. "
Ji Dong chuckled. "Who says there won't be enough pressuring combat here? We're not the only ones who need to train in combat. My people need it too. "
Chen Sixuan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You really want to be the Fire Raven King here? Only you can think of that." In her eyes, her Ji Dong was so noble that he couldn't be equated with the Fire Ravens.
Ji Dong said seriously, "Don't look down on the Fire Ravens. Not only do they have the advantage in numbers, but they also have a unity that humans can't compare to. Unity is enough to make them one of the strongest races in the core world. Their backbone and unyielding backbone make me proud. Becoming the Fire Raven King is the true reason why I did all that just now. You've all seen the Fire Ravens' combined attack just now. How many of you have the confidence to completely block it? You can become their touchstone and train them in teamwork, and they will definitely be able to bring enough pressure to everyone. If you underestimate the power of millions of Fire Crows, you will soon suffer a great loss in actual combat. "
Everyone nodded slightly after hearing Ji Dong's explanation. They'd all seen very clearly how the Fire Raven King and the other Fire Ravens had combined their strength. The combined strength of the Fire Ravens was absolutely quite domineering. Don't forget that this was a world full of the fire element. It was much easier for the Fire Ravens to replenish themselves than the Heavenly Stem disciples.
Ji Dong smiled faintly. "I'm one of the Fire Ravens from now on. You must work hard to deal with each other, one at a time. Oh, and don't hurt my people. The Fire Ravens hold grudges."
Sparring with a flock of Fire Ravens was a very refreshing experience for the Heavenly Stem disciples. They naturally trusted Ji Dong's judgment unconditionally. Since Ji Dong said that the Fire Ravens would be enough to help them train, then they would definitely be able to.
Ji Dong turned around and looked at the bewildered Raven King, who couldn't understand what they were saying. He flicked his wrist and brought the level ten core he'd just obtained from the Fire Owl Lord to the Raven King.
"It's yours now. Remember to absorb it slowly and eat it bit by bit. If you eat it all at once, your body will explode and you'll die. No one will look down on you again when you're able to absorb it all."
With the Raven King's current strength, it was very likely that he'd be able to directly ascend to level nine if he could absorb all of the magical power within the core. Of course, this would take some time. Just like Ji Dong had said, he couldn't just eat it all at once.
The Raven King's eyes were filled with excitement as he caught the core that Ji Dong had tossed over with his beak. These creatures of the core wouldn't turn down anything and flew back to their own caves with great care. After putting away the treasure, the Raven King appeared in front of Ji Dong again with an expression of unwillingness to die a thousand times. Ji Dong's gaze when he looked at his companions was one of malice. Apart from the heavenly secrets, all of the Heavenly Stem disciples felt a chill run down their spines as a sense of foreboding rose in their hearts.
Reality proved that the Heavenly Stem disciples' premonitions were completely correct. In the following month, Ji Dong had the Raven King gather all the Fire Ravens above the level of commander here.
