The red in the sky receded like the tide. The Thunder Emperor looked over and saw that the person sitting on the back of the Level Ten Heavenly Stem Divine Beast, the Vermillion Bird, was none other than his junior, Ji Dong. Although the danger had disappeared, he could not help but be dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes forcefully, but he still could not believe what had happened in front of him.
"Ji Dong." Lan Baoer, who was also sitting on the back of the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon, had already woken up from her coma. She waved at Hyōhime excitedly.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Lan Baoer did not recognize that the Thunder Emperor was the Fire Divine Beast, the Vermillion Bird. In her heart, the Thunder Emperor had already become an invincible existence. She did not need to fear any enemy. In the process of entering the core region of the Earth Spirit Mountain Range, she had already seen too many powerful magical beasts killed by the Thunder Emperor's Thunder Axe.
Ji Dong also waved at Lan Baoer and said to the Vermillion Bird at the same time, "My senior has come to find me. Your child has successfully hatched, so it's time for me to go. It's nice to meet you. You are a respectable mother."
The Vermillion Bird's gentle voice rang out, "You are also a respectable human. I have yet to thank you."
Ji Dong smiled and said, "I don't need any thanks. Take good care of your child."
The Vermillion Bird turned to look at Hyōhime, as if it wanted to firmly remember his appearance in its heart. Nine shining tail feathers drifted out of the cave and landed in front of Ji Dong. "Your name is Ji Dong. I will always remember it.
"Your name is Ji Dong, I will always remember it. Don't reject me, these nine feathers are for you as a souvenir. Friend, I believe that one day, we will meet again. If I were to go back three thousand years and I still don't have a child, I would definitely choose you as my contracted partner. However, you have inherited two Sovereign Flames, so my attributes are not completely suitable for you. I believe that you will definitely find a better mount in the future. Goodbye, friend, you will always be Vermillion Bird's friend."
This time, Ji Dong did not reject it. He put the nine phoenix feathers into his Vermillion Bird bracelet.
An intense red light carried his body into the air, and he flew in the direction of the Purple Thunder Brilliant Sky Dragon. Even now, the Purple Thunder Brilliant Sky Dragon was still roaring uneasily, and there was a hint of fear in its eyes as it looked at the divine bird that was surrounded by flames. Although the Vermilion Bird's display of might had only lasted for a short period of time, it was enough to intimidate this rank 8 giant dragon.
Ji Dong landed in front of the Thunder Emperor. The Vermillion Bird's voice rang out, "Thunder. Since you are my friends, Ji Dong, I will let you go of trespassing on my territory. Dong. Ji. I will. Dragon, Thunder. from of Thunder. Emperor of Fire. Dragon from God, Dragon, Emperor, and Thunder." Dragon "Two. Dragon.
Ji Dong landed in front of the Thunder Emperor. Fury hurriedly took him and let him sit at the front of the dragon saddle with Lan Baoer. Waving at the Vermillion Bird, Ji Dong said loudly, "Go back. Your child is waiting for you. She is still weak. She needs your care."
Vermillion Bird Hyōhime nodded. She turned into a ray of red light and returned to the cave. When she reached the entrance of the cave, she stopped again. She turned back to look at Ji Dong, who was on the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon. Then, she disappeared into the cave.
It wasn't until the moment the Vermillion Bird disappeared that Fury felt the pressure around him disappear. Although he wasn't afraid and had the courage to face any enemy, it was impossible for him to not be nervous when facing one of the Divine Beasts, the Vermillion Bird.
"Little Junior Brother, it seems like you have profited from your misfortune." Fury chuckled. Even now, he still could not believe what he had just seen.
Lan Baoer turned around and said, "Ji Dong, are you alright?"
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, do we still need to continue with the preliminary test?"
Fury laughed and said, "What's there to continue? Although there weren't many practical tests, it was much better than hunting magical beasts. Moreover, your rewards should have long surpassed the requirements of the preliminary test. Let's leave this place first. It's not easy to survive in the core region of the Earth Spirit Mountains. Little Junior Brother, you still need me to explain a lot to you."
Ji Dong had helped the Vermillion Bird successfully hatch her child and was in a good mood. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. No matter what questions you have, I will answer them one by one after we leave this place."
Disregarding everything else, the fact that the Thunder Emperor had come to their rescue despite knowing the dangers of the core region of the Earth Spirit Mountains was enough for Ji Dong to decide not to hide anything from him. Of course, that was excluding the matter regarding the Flaming Bar.
His right hand brought with it a bolt of lightning that seemed to tear space apart. Fury kept his Thunder Battle Axe and grabbed Ji Dong and Lan Baoer with both hands. He dismounted from the dragon saddle and placed the two of them on the saddle one after the other. Then, he sat behind them and gently patted the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon.
The Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon was not willing to stay in such a stressful place any longer. It flapped its wings and instantly increased its speed. It flew into the distance like a bolt of purple lightning.
As he sat with Lan Baoer once again, Ji Dong naturally hugged her waist. This time, Lan Baoer's body was no longer as stiff as before. Instead, she took the initiative to lean against Ji Dong's chest. Fury had already told her what had happened after she had fainted during the battle. Although the preliminary examination had only lasted for a few days, her understanding of Ji Dong had undergone a drastic change.
Very soon, the Purple Thunder Heavenly Dragon had brought them out of the core region of the Earth Spirit Mountains. Fury's expression also relaxed. He patted Ji Dong's shoulder and said, "Little Junior Brother, what I want to know the most now is where did you get those extreme flames of yours."
Ji Dong smiled and said, "If I told you that I was born with them, would you believe me?"
Fury nodded and said with a smile, "I believe you. Because other than this, I really can't think of another explanation. No wonder you were able to condense the Yin Yang Crown under the condition that your Yin and Yang are in balance. In this preliminary examination, you have definitely created the history of our Heavenly Stem Academy and even the Yin-Yang School."
Ji Dong said, "Compared to Senior Brother, I'm still far from you."
Fury said, "The difference between us is limited by age. I believe that when you reach my age, you will definitely surpass me. Moreover, my strength is still not enough. That was the Divine Beast Vermillion Bird just now, right? I have always prided myself on my strength, but when facing this Divine Beast Bing Fire, I have a feeling that I am unable to compete with it. No wonder Teacher has repeatedly warned me not to enter the core region of the Earth Spirit Mountains. It turns out that there is actually a Heavenly Stem Divine Beast guarding there. "
Ji Dong asked, "Senior Brother, why do you call the Vermillion Bird the Heavenly Stem Divine Beast?"
Fury said, "The Ten Great Demon Masters are also called the Ten Heavenly Stem Demon Masters. Each of the Ten Great Demon Masters has its own totem. These totems are not illusory, they really exist. They are called the Totem Divine Beasts or Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts. Legend has it that the Ten Great Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts are guarding the ten corners of the continent, protecting our land. It is also because of their existence that there is only one passage between the Five Great Light Continent and the Five Dark Continent. Once someone tries to cross the sea, then the Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts will release their seals and attack the enemy together. This is also another reason why no one on the two continents has ever tried to cross the sea with countless sea beasts. It seems that this is really not as simple as the legend. Didn't we just see one of the Ten Great Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts today? Little Junior Brother, did you get directly transported to the Vermillion Bird by that Earth Element guy? "
Ji Dong smiled bitterly and said, "That's not it, but it's almost there. I just happened to appear outside the Vermillion Bird's cave." He briefly explained the process of how he got to know the Vermillion Bird, leaving out the existence of the Flaming Bar and the negotiation with the Vermillion Bird. He only said that the Vermillion Bird found out that he had the Ding Si Dark Spiritual Fire and asked him to help her hatch her child.
After listening to Ji Dong's words, Fury said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the Vermillion Bird would call you a friend and treat you so well. Little Junior Brother, this is really a blessing in disguise. It's a pity, it's really a pity."
Lan Baoer, who had been silent all this while, turned her head and asked, "Senior Brother Fury, what's a pity?"
Fury said, "Baoer, you don't know this, but the more powerful the Demonic Beast, especially the Divine Beast, the more important it is to karma. This time, the Vermillion Bird can be said to have received a great favor from little Junior Brother, and she will definitely repay it. If she is willing to sign a contract with little Junior Brother and become little Junior Brother's mount, how many people in this world can be little Junior Brother's opponent? It's such a pity. If only little Junior Brother met it a few years later, when little Junior Brother has cultivated to the Six Crowns Realm."
Ji Dong smiled and shook his head. He said, "Senior Brother, you're thinking too much. I'm just helping a poor mother. I don't expect her to repay me. In order to hatch the child, she has waited for three thousand years. What a great mother's love!"
It would be a lie to say that he was not envious of Fury's mount, the Purple Thunder Heaven Dragon. However, he had never thought of using his help to help the Vermillion Bird to obtain such a mount. It was not a matter of attributes, but his mentality. The happiness of the little Vermillion Bird when it was born was the best reward for him.
With the Purple Thunder Heaven Dragon flying at full speed, they quickly covered the distance of five hundred miles. In the distance, they could already see the majestic first city of the mainland — the Central Plains City.
The Purple Thunder Heaven Dragon folded its wings and landed fifty miles away from the Central Plains City with the three of them.
Jumping off the dragon's back, Fury did not rush back to the main city with the two of them. Instead, he sat down where he was.
"Senior Brother, do you want to rest for a while?" Ji Dong asked.
Fury Rui laughed and said, "I'm not that weak. I was so busy looking for you that I didn't have time to count your spoils of war. It's time to sit down and divide the spoils. Don't you want to see how big the harvest this time is?"
Ji Dong and Lan Baoer looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. The process was arduous and dangerous, but the harvest this time was equally huge. Thinking about the scene of the colorful lights flying in the sky, Ji Dong understood that they had most likely made a fortune this time.
As he spoke, Fury raised his left hand. On his left index finger was a huge sapphire ring. He shook it with force, and a circle of numbing lightning power quietly spread out. With a whoosh, colorful lights scattered in all directions. Under the dumbfounded gazes of Ji Dong and Lan Baoer, the crystal cores of various colors had already piled up in front of them like a small mountain.
This was also the Thunder Emperor Fury who dared to do such a thing on the side of the road. In his heart, there was no concept of not showing off one's wealth.
"Oh my god! So many! "Lan Baoer exclaimed in a low voice.
Fury smiled and said, "I want to help you count the number so that I can confirm your final results in this preliminary test. Come and help me. Let's first separate these crystal cores according to their attributes."
"Alright." Ji Dong and Lan Baoer took out the crystal cores that they had obtained from killing the middle-aged man of the Geng Metal Element and counted them together.
The three of them excitedly sat in a circle and really became a real sharing of the spoils. It was very easy to distinguish the crystal cores. The color of the crystal core was the same as the magic power of the ten elemental Demon Masters. According to the order of First Wood, Second Wood, Third Fire, Fourth Fire, Fifth Earth, Sixth Earth, Geng Metal, Octane Metal, Ninth Water, and Tenth Water, the colors were: green, dark green, red, blue, yellow, gray, white, gold, black, and purple.
Through these colors, the attributes of the crystal core could be distinguished. Then, according to the difference in size and color, they could be divided into different grades.
There were simply too many crystal cores. The five Demon Masters that were killed all had a large number of crystal cores on them, especially the yellow-clothed man that was struck to death by the Thunder Emperor's lightning. Just him alone had more than 150 crystal cores on him.
Very soon, the division of the crystal cores was completed. Other than the crystal cores, there were also two Demon Skill Scrolls. Fury did not know much about these things, so he decided to let his teacher identify them when he got back.
The three of them counted the crystal cores of each attribute. When they raised their heads and looked at each other, they were a little speechless. Even though the majority of the crystal cores were of the second or third rank, there was a large number of them. Furthermore, there were all ten elements.
"Little Junior Brother, Baoer, you're going to be rich now. This batch of crystal cores is worth at least 500,000 gold coins. If I'm not wrong, those people have been in the Earth Spirit Mountain Range for a long time. It's not like they could have accumulated so many crystal cores in one go. Hmm, most of them are of the earth element, especially the earth element. These are all valuable goods. There are even two fifth rank crystal cores for the earth element. There are no fifth rank crystal cores for the other attributes. There are about 30 fourth rank crystal cores, and the rest are second and third rank. Adding them all up, there are 372 crystal cores in total. You guys can be considered to have completed the task double. Alright, quickly put them away. When we get back, I'll let my teacher identify the scrolls before giving them to you. "
Lan Baoer silently picked up the tenth water element crystal core and put it into her storage magic tool. She did not move anymore, and her face was calm.
Ji Dong said doubtfully, "Baoer, continue taking them! We agreed that apart from the ones of each attribute, we would split the spoils of war equally. "
