The Vermilion Bird Abyss was pitch-black and serene, like a black hole that cut off the entire land.
There was a lack of vitality nearby. Even if there were plants, they had all dried up. There were cracks on the ground that extended far into the distance.
Chu Feng frowned deeply. He immediately felt that something was wrong. The energy radiation in this area was too abnormal. It was a little too high.
In the abyss, it was as if a tide was surging. The energy radiation was extremely fierce, causing all life in this area to be extinguished. It was about to become a land of death.
He was bewildered. This was similar to the signs of a god on the verge of passing away as recorded in the books. His heart sank. Was it the old Vermillion Bird?
Before he came here, he had heard a few rumors that the old Vermillion Bird was very crazy a year ago. He charged into the Vicious Beast Plateau all the way and slaughtered a god.
It was said that the God had once said that once the Vermilion Bird Tribe declined, he would come and destroy them.
As a result, in his later years, when the old Vermillion Bird didn't have much time left in his life, he first went to fight his way into another great camp, directly slaughtering a deity.
This type of battle accomplishment was too terrifying. Afterwards, the old Vermillion Bird didn't appear again. Everyone believed that it was about to die and pass away in meditation within the abyss.
However, no one dared to provoke it or take advantage of it in its final years.
Everyone knew that the old Vermillion Bird was too powerful. It had cultivated for a long time, and it wasn't like other life forms that absorbed Divinity Granules and Ancestral Dao matter. Instead, it had evolved step by step and was born. As a result, its later years wouldn't be very miserable. If it really wanted to risk its life, it could still fight!
Many people were waiting for an opportunity. Once it died, they would definitely come knocking on its door, cut the weeds, and eliminate its descendants.
"Is he really going to die in meditation?" Chu Feng sighed. When he received the news on the road, it had been like this since a year ago.
It was exactly because of this that the Vermilion Bird Abyss had temporarily avoided the flames of war. No one wanted to provoke a terrifying Vermilion Bird that didn't have long to live.
Chu Feng called out softly, transmitting sound into the great abyss, informing him that he had returned.
However, there was no response.
His heart trembled as he sank into the earth in an instant. He was using his domain techniques to shrink the earth to an inch and move hundreds of thousands of kilometers away to hide in an unknown location.
No one chased after him, which made Chu Feng suspicious.
In the end, he returned to the Vermilion Bird Abyss and used the geomagnetic field to detect any movement within the Vermilion Bird Abyss.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Feng appeared at the bottom of the eight-hundred-mile-deep black rift valley, his face gloomy.
There was a divine corpse here, but it definitely wasn't the old Vermillion Bird's. It had been arranged by someone, and the energy radiation was astonishing.
This involved extremely profound methods. Had it not been for Chu Feng's extraordinary attainments in the domain of domains, he would have found it difficult to believe that there were other divine remains here.
At the same time, he discovered important carvings here, and they were words that belonged to the Yin Realm Universe. They were left especially for him to provide clues.
It was not a direct message, but a code word. It simply mentioned the handbook of the Path to the Strongest. It was marked with the 81st word of the first chapter, the 13th word of the fourth chapter, the 9th and 39th word of the fifth chapter …
Chu Feng was dumbfounded. This was the work of the lame Celestial Venerable Fox. Back then, it had passed on to Chu Feng a handbook of the so-called Path to the Strongest. It was the crystallization of the old fox's master's painstaking efforts and was known to be an extremely mature training method.
At that time, Chu Feng regretted that he wasn't from a "specialized class". He had always been an unorthodox person and hadn't been able to cultivate many areas to the flawless level.
Thus, the lame Celestial Venerable Fox passed on this handbook and told him to give it a try if he had the chance. This was an extremely mature path in the Yang Realm and was a work of painstaking effort.
Chu Feng deciphered the message and found that it was a secret location with specific coordinates.
He disappeared and left this place.
This time, Chu Feng didn't cross the battlefield or kill enemies. Instead, he moved stealthily and traveled with the help of the geomagnetic veins. It took him a full two days to arrive at the location — a hilly area.
However, he still didn't find anything this time. There was no one here and it was just a message. After deciphering it, it was still a coordinate address.
Chu Feng had no choice but to set out again. He could see that the lame Celestial Venerable Fox and the Vermillion Bird family were very cautious, which also meant that their situation was very bad.
If they were strong enough, why would they need to be so careful?
After five consecutive attempts, Chu Feng continued to search on the road after deciphering the location.
The last place was in a desolate stone forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. After Chu Feng found his destination, he sensed that there were evolvers lying in wait.
Chirp!
With a light chirp, a scarlet bolt of lightning flew over, bringing with it a torrential fiery light as it pounced toward Chu Feng with extreme speed.
He instantly shifted horizontally and stood on a giant rock dozens of kilometers away. The place where he had originally stood had become a magma lake. Following that, a cave appeared on the ground and all the magma flowed into it, forming a whirlpool.
A small fiery red bird with sparkling scarlet wings was tilting its head to look at him.
"Chu Feng?!" It cried out involuntarily. The voice was clear and melodious — it was the voice of a young girl.
The little Vermillion Bird!
It was definitely it. Chu Feng recognized it at a glance. He hadn't expected that the last part of the journey would be so smooth. He had found the right place and discovered this race.
Swoosh!
Chu Feng rushed over and arrived in front of it. He carefully examined it and touched a cluster of scarlet feathers on its head. As a result, the little Vermillion Bird's eyes widened and it pecked at it with its sharp, scarlet, jade-like beak.
"It hurts!" shouted Chu Feng, somewhat speechless.
This little bird was very aggressive and didn't even allow him to touch it. Fortunately, he was at the saint level, or else a bloody hole would have appeared in his hand.
The little Vermillion Bird looked at him vigilantly and warned him not to act rashly.
Chu Feng was dumbfounded. He finally knew what he had done wrong. The voice it let out was that of a young girl. Without a doubt, this was a proud and dainty girl with a tinge of anger.
"Where are Senior Vermillion and Senior Fox?" Asked Chu Feng. That was because there weren't any other life fluctuations after arriving here. There was only the little Vermillion Bird's own and he couldn't see its siblings.
The little Vermillion Bird was sad when it heard these words. Its eyes were filled with tears as it told Chu Feng that they were already separated by life and death now. They would never see each other again.
Chu Feng was gobsmacked when he heard this. He hurriedly consoled it and asked for the details.
The old Vermillion Bird was a heaven-warping divine warrior. He was an absolute figure among the divine level powerhouses of this generation in the foreign realm. He had even slaughtered his way into the Vicious Beast Plateau a year ago to slaughter a god.
Meanwhile, the so-called energy radiation in the abyss was obviously fake. It ought to be alive.
"My mother died a year ago." The little Vermillion Bird wept. Its entire body was sparkling and translucent like a red agate. Now, its large eyes were filled with tears as it cried sorrowfully.
The well-known figures among the foreign deities were close to the divine king domain, but they still couldn't endure it in the end and had already died.
The little Vermillion Bird said as it wept. Its tears rolled down in pairs like pearls. Its mother couldn't hold on for long after she returned after slaughtering a god a year ago. Her lifespan was about to reach its end.
However, the old Vermillion Bird was unyielding and didn't want to wait for death. He directly slaughtered his way into the foreign realm's number one forbidden land. He wanted to try his final heaven-defying move and fight for a future.
Unfortunately, he failed. Not long after he charged into that forbidden land, his soul light was extinguished and he died there forever.
"Are you sure that Senior has passed away? Perhaps there are other opportunities and she's just temporarily trapped, "comforted Chu Feng.
The little Vermillion Bird wept and shook its head. At that time, it and the old fox had personally sent her off. It saw its mother fall in the forbidden land forever from afar and never get up again. She was indeed dead.
Chu Feng sighed when he heard this. He felt very upset and regretful. Back then, the old Vermillion Bird treated him very well and made great efforts to send him back to the Yin Realm universe.
He didn't expect that their parting back then would be forever. What it said about persevering for another fifty years couldn't be realized.
"What about Senior Fox?"
After a long period of silence, Chu Feng opened his mouth again.
He didn't see it here and an ominous feeling emerged in his heart. The old fox couldn't have been completely petrified and died, right?
"It's here." The little Vermillion Bird led the way and walked into the depths of the stone forest. In the end, they stopped in front of a stone mountain. There was a small cave abode here that was overflowing with light.
When Chu Feng saw the lame old fox, he was stunned. Sure enough, things were still the same, but the people had changed. It had only been a few months in the Yin Realm universe, but thirty years had passed here.
In front of him, the stone statue of a lame fox was enshrined on a jade table. It had a lonely expression as it raised its head and looked into the distance, as if it wanted to see through the void and stare at the world of the living.
It had been completely petrified. There wasn't a bit of flesh and blood left and it had become a stone statue.
"Senior!"
Chu Feng felt even more regret in his heart. He wanted to ask for guidance again. This fox's origin was extremely mysterious and extraordinary. If it wasn't fake, then it was a Celestial Venerable.
At this moment, he realized that most things in life didn't go according to plan. There would always be regrets in reality and things didn't match up with his expectations. He thought he could reminisce with an old friend from the foreign realm again.
"Poor senior, your later years are so bleak. You've been lonely for half your life and ended up like this."
Chu Feng sighed. He was paying his respects here.
Then, he said, "Senior, don't worry. After I enter the world of the living, I will definitely go to the fox clan and take good care of your so-called genius descendant and granddaughter."
"You still haven't given up, I'll beat you to death!" Who knew that the stone fox would actually open its mouth and let out a sound, startling Chu Feng. He quickly took a few steps back and was dumbstruck.
Last time, when the old fox's descendant was mentioned, Chu Feng's eyes lit up. He said that the fox clan had many beauties and that he wanted to take a look and help the old fox take care of his descendant. In the end, he was sprayed with saliva.
"Senior, did you come back to life? No, you've returned to the world of the living. You have to thank me. It was my words that stimulated you to come back to life! "Chu Feng dawdled.
In reality, he knew that the old fox definitely didn't die. It was just that his current condition was terrible. His physical body had been petrified, but his soul light still hadn't scattered.
The lame old fox glared at him. In the end, he didn't get angry and sighed. "Look at the depression between your brows. If you didn't lose your parents, then all your relatives died. Life is full of sorrow. How bitter is it?"
These words instantly made Chu Feng's face full of sorrow and dejection.
The little Vermillion Bird couldn't help but sigh. Old ginger was spicier. The stone fox didn't bicker with Chu Feng and didn't berate him. Just these few words made him listless.
After Chu Feng's heart was hurt, he quickly pondered over the situation. This old fellow really didn't want to suffer losses. He stirred up his depressed mood as soon as he opened his mouth. He was incomparably shrewd and ruthless.
"Senior, I missed you all very much. After parting for so many years, I couldn't wait to come back immediately to listen to your teachings. However, I was tied down by many things in the world and couldn't come back in time."
"Tell me, what happened?" the lame stone fox asked.
He had already confessed that his condition wasn't good. His master had dealt him a heavy blow, causing him to fall from his original realm. After being trapped in this world, his condition worsened day by day. There would be a day when his soul would also stiffen and he would completely petrify here.
Chu Feng sighed. That almighty being in the Yang Realm was too ruthless. He could even punish his own disciple like this without mercy.
His eyes dimmed as he briefly explained the matters in the Underworld Universe.
"One of Taiwu's Dao bodies died. It's really unexpected." The stone fox was moved. He then told Chu Feng that his current condition was terrible. The time he could communicate with him was limited, so he had to get to the main point.
"I want to become stronger. I want to become a god. I want to rise in this world as soon as possible!" Chu Feng said. He then asked where the other siblings of the little Vermillion Bird had gone.
The old fox said, "I exhausted all my means and finally sent them into the Yang Realm. Unfortunately, I couldn't guarantee that they would all survive.
Chu Feng immediately became spirited and said, "Senior, please send me into the Yang Realm. I'll sneak over and kill them all!"
"Do you think I still have the strength to fight in this state?" The old fox stared at him and said, "You actually came with your corporeal body?"
In reality, the little Vermillion Bird had been sizing up Chu Feng all along. His corporeal body had descended into the foreign realm. This was quite shocking!
Chu Feng didn't dare to mention the stone box. After all, the old fox was called the Celestial Venerable. He was really afraid that something bad would happen. After experiencing the matter with Taiwu, he could see that the Celestial Venerable's desire for this kind of ultimate item was too strong.
He took out the Soul Bell and said, "I only dared to set off because I had its protection. Last time, you guys saw that I also used it to protect the little Vermillion Bird and almost succeeded in entering the Yang Realm."
Even though the old fox's eyes were made of stone, they seemed to be very deep. He stared at him a few times and said, "At least you still have a conscience and know to come back to guide the little Vermillion Bird."
After that, he opened his mouth again and said, "However, since you've cultivated the incomplete version of the Six Rays of Time Technique and have already decided to crazily evolve in this world, then you should be prepared to be strangled by the strange matter in your later years. It will be very tragic and very miserable. You really are ignorant and fearless."
"Senior, please help me resolve it." Chu Feng had a grave expression as he consulted him.
"The Celestial Venerable can naturally save those whose problems aren't very serious when you're at your peak. However, you'll cultivate for a hundred years and use this to become a god. You're destined to be unsolvable." The lame Celestial Venerable Fox shook his head.
Chu Feng didn't say anything as he frowned deeply.
"There's only one way. Go and get the talisman paper," the old fox said.
"What talisman paper?" Chu Feng was stunned.
The lame Celestial Venerable Fox said, "Didn't you come into contact with it on the Reincarnation Road? This time, I'll point you to a place. Take two and give one to the little Vermillion Bird."
"This kind of talisman paper?!" Chu Feng was shocked. Putting aside whether he had to walk this path or not, just this kind of thing was enough to make him shudder with fear and trepidation because it was too rare. Even in the Yang Realm, it was priceless. It could only be occasionally taken out during special times when one entered the most terrifying forbidden lands in the Yang Realm.
As for the Little Daoist who claimed to have the aptitude of a Celestial Venerable, in their world, the great sects of the world joined hands and were annihilated in the end. Only a few people were left, and they took out a black talisman paper from the number one forbidden land in their world and it fell into the Little Daoist's hand.
Now, the lame Celestial Venerable opened his mouth and wanted to point him to take two?
