In the core of the earth, blossoms of Red Lotus Fire revolved around the gigantic dragon egg and gradually merged with it. At this moment, the light in Flaming Bar's eyes flickered and she suddenly stopped moving. She had a strange expression on her face as she said, "Ji Dong, why is your luck so good every time you're teleported? Looks like this little fellow doesn't have to hatch in advance."
Ji Dong flipped over and stood up from the ground. However, the moment he stood up, his body lost the ability to move. Even the Yin Yang Vortex that contained the flames of two Sovereigns had stopped spinning at this moment. Ji Dong had a strange feeling in his heart. It was as if he had become a crystal like the stone on the walls of the cave and was no longer a living being.
At this moment, he could see everything in front of him clearly. This was the deepest part of the cave. From the ground to the top of the cave, it was at least 30 meters. The cave was extremely spacious and the strangest thing was that the stone walls of the cave were extremely bright red. It was as if this place was originally a gigantic ruby and the cave was hollowed out from this ruby.
In the middle of the cave, there was a huge tree that reached all the way to the top of the cave. It took up almost half of the area of the cave. The tree was dark red in color and from its shape, it looked like a parasol tree. However, Ji Dong had never seen such a huge parasol tree before. Furthermore, the color of the tree was very strange. The dark red color of the tree was slowly changing, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, as if the ape tree itself was breathing.
Standing there, Ji Dong felt as if he was immersed in magma. The only difference from the Earth's Core Lake was that in the Earth's Core Lake, the fire elements of Bing and Ding coexisted. Here, there was only pure Bing fire.
The crystal-red light was cast from the tree. Standing at the top of the tree, it looked like a huge bird. It was a huge bird that was completely red in color. It had a chicken's head, a swallow's collar, a snake's neck, a turtle's back, and a fish's tail. Its entire body was flashing with golden light and its long tail extended to three times the length of its body. Therefore, although it did not look big, it was in fact at least 10 meters long from head to tail. Those crystal-red eyes were its eyes. They were looking at Ji Dong with dignity and anger.
At this moment, two words suddenly appeared in Ji Dong's mind: Vermilion Bird. In his memories, in the myths of his previous life, the phoenix was an auspicious bird. It was five-colored, and the pure red phoenix controlled the flames of heaven and earth. It was the Fire Phoenix, the divine bird that guarded the south, the Vermillion Bird. She was also a clone of the phoenix. The phoenix perched on the Parasol Tree. Everything in front of him seemed to indicate the identity of this big red bird.
"Human, how dare you!" A shrill voice came out of the Fire Phoenix's mouth. Just this voice alone caused Ji Dong's body to tremble uncontrollably. Blood flowed out of his orifices. Even his body, which had been soaked in a dragon, couldn't bear it.
"Eh?" A red light flashed in Fire Phoenix's eyes, "You're so weak. You think you can come to my territory?" Ji Dong felt the restraints around his body lighten. He regained his ability to move and speak. He said calmly, "I don't know how I got here."
Fire Phoenix stood on a branch and looked down at him, "You don't know? Even when I'm in a good mood, no living creature dares to come close to my cave. No matter how you got here, you must die. Even if you're going to be buried with my child, you have a fire-attribute body. You should feel honored. "
Ji Dong curled his lips in disdain. He no longer had any hope of surviving. He couldn't return to the core of the earth. The Fire Phoenix before him, the Vermillion Bird that could speak, was undoubtedly a Tenth Level Divine Beast. Even the Frost Dragon, Feng Shuang, paled in comparison to it. With his strength, how could he escape from here? Even if he were to die, he had to die with dignity.
"Honored? You're just a bird. I'm a human, the soul of all living creatures. Who do you think you are to talk to me about the word 'honored'? " Ji Dong said coldly. At this moment, he only wished for a quick death. He prayed silently in his heart. If there was a chance for him to be reborn and transmigrate, he hoped that he could be reborn in the underground world. Even if he was just an insignificant underground creature, he would at least know that he wasn't too far away from the Flaming Bar.
Hearing Ji Dong's words, the Vermillion Bird on the dark red Wutong tree suddenly spread its five meter wide wings. It raised its head and let out an impassioned cry of a phoenix. The moment the cry of the phoenix rang out, Ji Dong felt as if his soul was about to leave his body. He was about to be torn into pieces by this terrifying sound wave. At this moment, a warm feeling came from Ji Dong's left chest. A misty red light quietly spread out. The familiar Red Lotus petals quietly swept out and slowly wrapped around Ji Dong's body, isolating him from the outside world.
"Flaming Bar?" Ji Dong cried out in surprise in his heart.
The cry of the phoenix came to an abrupt stop. Two golden flames that were almost tangible suddenly shot out from the Vermillion Bird's eyes. They spread for a few meters before slowly retracting. It was the Cingwu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire, one of the two Ultimate Fires that Ji Dong was most familiar with.
"The Fire of the Red Lotus, the Queen of the Flaming Bar. Did you send him here?" The Vermillion Bird's voice was filled with shock and anger. At the same time, it revealed a deep sense of fear. It stared at the Red Lotus flames surrounding Ji Dong's body and did not attack again.
"That's right. I was the one who led him here." The Flaming Bar's voice rang out from Ji Dong's chest. Listening to her flawless and incomparably familiar voice, Ji Dong could not help but feel a little dazed. It was the Flaming Bar again. Every time he faced great danger, she would always appear. A sense of shame welled up in Ji Dong's heart. When would he be the one to protect her?
The Vermillion Bird's voice became calmer. "Your Majesty, could it be that you want to use this human to locate me and deal with me? Don't forget that your existence is not tolerated by the gods. If you dare to rashly descend to the human world and display your Divine Ability, even if I die, you absolutely won't be able to survive. "
Ji Dong found that although the Vermillion Bird was calm, her words clearly had a sense of strength in them, as if she was afraid.
The Flaming Bar let out a leisurely sigh. "Vermillion Bird, you're one of the Ten Great Divine Beasts. You've been sealed here. Moreover, you know very well that I won't easily descend to the human world, so why should you be afraid? I've lured him here in order to help you. We're both of the Fire Lineage. What good would it do me if I killed you? Do you think that I'll need everything that you have here? "
The Vermillion Bird was stunned. "Help me? You think that this puny human can help me? Your Majesty, could it be that you're willing to bestow the power of the two Sovereigns to me? " The Vermillion Bird flapped her fiery-red wings excitedly. The red light in her eyes flickered incessantly. Even her tone became hurried.
The Flaming Bar said indifferently. "You should understand that the power of the two Sovereigns is not something that you can possess. Although you're a Divine Beast, you're the same as me. The Realm of the Gods will not allow you to possess that kind of power. The one who can help you is this human in front of you. Because, he's the inheritor of the two Sovereigns' will."
The Vermillion Bird's gaze fell upon Ji Dong once again. The golden-red light in her eyes flickered incessantly. Ji Dong's heart trembled. He could feel the danger coming from the Vermillion Bird.
"Vermillion Bird, are you trying to kill him to take away the two Sovereigns' will?" The Flaming Bar's voice suddenly became stern. "Remember, his name is Ji Dong. He's my only friend. Also, to me, death is not scary. In the depths of the earth's core, there's not much difference between loneliness and death. Furthermore, I don't need to do anything to kill you. If you harm Ji Dong, then you'll have to wait for the vengeance of the millions of living beings in the underground world."
The Vermillion Bird's gaze turned cold. "You're threatening me. Your Majesty, what do you want?"
The Flaming Bar seemed to have predicted that the Vermillion Bird would threaten him. He said, "I only want to make a deal with you. Ji Dong can help you harmonize the Yin and Yang attributes. However, I want three drops of Phoenix Coronet Blood, a foot of Phoenix Blood Parasol Tree Core, and a ton of Yang Essence Ore."
"That's impossible." The Vermillion Bird was exasperated. "Your Majesty, you're too greedy. The Phoenix Blood Parasol Tree Core only grows an inch in a thousand years. Three drops of Phoenix Coronet Blood is equivalent to a tenth of my power. I can give you more of the Yang Essence Ore, but I can't give you the other two."
The Flaming Bar responded calmly, "Are you saying that these worldly possessions are more valuable than a life? In your heart, your child isn't even worth this little thing? I don't need these things. Let me remind you again, although the young man standing in front of you is still weak, he has inherited the wills and memories of the two Sovereign Jades. Humans aren't restricted by their cultivation like I am. I believe that you won't dare to kill him. Are you going to make an enemy out of him? "
"I …" The Vermillion Bird's eyes glazed over. She turned to look at the parasol tree's crown and finally compromised. "Alright, you win. You're right, nothing can compare to my child's life, but I'd like to see his Sovereign Fire first."
The Flaming Bar smiled and said, "Sure, Ji Dong, show her your Ultimate Dual Fire."
Ji Dong remained silent. He raised his hands and displayed the Bingwu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire and the Dingsi Netherspirit Fire at the same time.
Although the Vermillion Bird was in front of him, and the perfect Flaming Bar was supporting him, Ji Dong was not in a good mood at the moment. He did not like the feeling of not having his fate in his hands. Power, power, power. He gritted his teeth. He seemed to sense the two Sovereign Marks on his palms being humiliated. It was his weak power that made them feel that way. A powerhouse's heart was gradually taking shape in Ji Dong's heart. This time, it had nothing to do with the Flaming Bar.
The Vermillion Bird was mainly looking at the Dingsi Netherspirit Fire in Ji Dong's left hand. A suffocating heat was emitted from her body, and her red feathers seemed to be trembling due to excitement.
The Vermillion Bird nodded and said, "Alright, deal."
A dazzling red light suddenly spread out from the Vermillion Bird's body. Everything in front of Ji Dong's eyes turned completely red, and he could no longer see anything. That strong attribute didn't make him feel uncomfortable, the red lotus petals around his body were very good at isolating him.
After a brief moment, the red light that engulfed the entire cave disappeared, and a few items appeared on the ground in front of Ji Dong.
The first thing that came into view was the largest piece of irregular ore. It was somewhat similar to the surrounding stone walls, and was as transparent as a ruby. The difference was that this crystal red ore, which was almost a cubic meter in size, was embellished with a lot of golden starlight. To Ji Dong's surprise, this ore did not emit energy fluctuations, but seemed to be absorbing the fire elements in the air.
Next to the ore was a piece of wood that was a foot long and had a cross-section diameter of about three inches. It was golden-red all over, and a halo that flickered between bright and dark was slowly spreading, just like the huge wutong tree. There was no doubt that this was the one-foot-long tree core. Ji Dong found that the light of the wutong tree under the Vermillion Bird's feet had clearly dimmed a bit, which was obviously related to the separation of this tree core. On the tree core, there were three longan-sized fiery red crystals in the shape of water droplets, quietly lying there. In addition to these, there were also nine slender golden-red feathers next to it, exactly the same as the Vermillion Bird's tail.
At this time, the Vermillion Bird's expression had become a lot gentler, and she said, "The things that Her Majesty the Empress wants are all here. Those nine tail feathers were shed by me, and as an apology for my previous rudeness, please accept them. Oh, your storage bracelet doesn't seem to be able to hold them, I'll help you modify it."
The Vermillion Bird opened its mouth and spat out a golden flame, which turned into a golden thread in the air and quietly wrapped around the storage bracelet on Ji Dong's right hand. The marvelous control of the flame made Ji Dong gasp in amazement. He didn't even feel a trace of scorching heat. It must be known that this was the most Yang and most unyielding Third Wu Primordial Yang Sacred Fire!
As the golden light spread, the originally fiery red storage bracelet gradually changed. The original fiery red color gradually turned dark red, and a little bit of golden light condensed within it, forming a golden-red Phoenix shape, circling around it, head and tail connected. Compared to the original simple and unadorned look, at this time, this storage bracelet could only be described as extremely dazzling.
The golden line of fire withdrew, and a warm thought automatically emitted from the bracelet, condensing into one with Ji Dong's will. Ji Dong was surprised to find that the originally one cubic meter space in the bracelet had unexpectedly expanded by a thousand times, and the area of a thousand square meters was extremely wide. Originally, his various items had almost filled up the storage bracelet, but now it seemed that it was only a corner.
Putting away these things on the ground, Ji Dong looked at the Vermillion Bird and said, "How can I help you?"
