Genius One Second Remember If You Want To Go? To provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The white-feathered strange bird gradually flew closer to the Crimson Earth Star, but it did not land. Instead, it circled around the entire Earth Star, as if it was looking for something.
Zhang Yan had already restrained his Qi to the point where it was faintly discernible, so as not to scare the strange bird away. He did not make a move, but just watched from the side. From the behavior of the strange bird, it seemed to have a purpose for coming here.
After the white-feathered strange bird hovered for a long time, it gently sucked in the red light. After a while, a faint red light appeared on its body, but it only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
Zhang Yan understood the intention of this. It was using the strong spiritual vigor emitted from the blood essence to refine itself. However, this strange white-feathered bird knew how to make a trade-off and was not greedy. It actually knew that if too much blood essence was absorbed, it would cause itself to be lost, causing it to become like those demons who only knew how to chase after their instincts, so it only took a small amount. Whether this was taught by others or its own perception, it was still not sure, but if it was the former, it was very worth investigating.
The strange white-feathered bird stayed here for more than a hundred days, but it did not go deep into the Earth Star, so it turned around and left. Before it left, Zhang Yan placed a strand of his aura on its body, preparing to see just where the strange bird would go. His true body would remain here.
This wait lasted for another three years, except for the big bird from before, no other creatures came.
On the other side, the white-feathered strange bird had already arrived on a dark blue star. The surface of this star was almost completely covered in seawater, and there were only a few pieces of land. The rest were all mountain islands that protruded from the surface of the water, and they were scattered in all directions.
The place where the strange bird lived was on a towering tree that reached into the clouds. The branches of this tree were pure white, and all the birds that lived here were this kind of white-feathered bird. The one that came to the Crimson Earth first was the largest, and it seemed to be the leader of the flock. The nest it resided in was incomparably huge. It was just slightly below the top of the white tree, and was covered by a huge leaf. The nest was not flat, but had many levels. The interior was as vast as a mountain, and there were all kinds of strange flowers and plants growing there. About a thousand strange birds were circling in the air.
Zhang Yan observed the Earth Star through the eyes of the strange bird. Most of the ordinary demon birds here lived by hunting for giant fish in the sea. They only needed one day to hunt, but they needed three times the time to rest. However, this was not the case for all of them. Because the white wood could disperse spiritual vigor, it seemed that the leader of the strange bird lived by absorbing spiritual vigor. He noticed that every night, there would be a layer of faint glow circling around its body. This was a sign that it was about to transform.
It was rare for a demon with a naturally strong body to succeed in transforming into a human form, unless they had obtained a precious medicine or guidance from a powerful being. As for cultivation methods, these wild demons were scattered all over the place. Even if they obtained it, it would be useless. Without someone to teach them the profound Dao and dispel their doubts, there was nothing they could not cultivate.
The steps of the leader of the strange bird were very regular. Based on this, it could be deduced that it should have obtained some kind of opportunity. Looking at its behavior in the Crimson Earth Star, it was very likely that this was the arrangement left behind by the owner of the blood essence.
Of course, all of this was just Zhang Yan's guess, but it was very easy to determine whether this was the case. He raised his sleeve and once again stirred up the spiritual vigor on the Crimson Earth Star. If the bird demon was alarmed, then it could be confirmed that there was a connection between the two.
Not long after, the big white-feathered bird suddenly became a little irritated. It kept flapping its wings and looked at the sky from time to time. Sometimes, it would fly up, and after a while, it would land back to its nest. This repeated several times.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. The result was self-evident. The demon bird came here first to devour the spiritual vigor and also to check the situation.
However, the problem was that he did not change much of the spiritual vigor environment of the Crimson Earth Star. He only made some slight changes. After all, it was just a bird, it was not very sensitive to the changes of spiritual vigor, so it did not notice anything.
Although the white-feathered demon bird noticed the abnormality in some way, it still refused to leave. This was because it was about to transform. During this transformation, it needed to go through a huge amount of spiritual vigor. Not to mention that it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, there was no spiritual vigor for it to devour in the virtual sky.
However, transforming was not something that could be stopped easily. If this opportunity was missed, then the next time might not be successful, and it was very likely that it would not be able to do it in the future.
Zhang Yan did not care how it would choose. As long as it was confirmed that this demon was indeed related to the owner of the blood essence, then he could follow this clue to investigate.
In the end, the strange white-feathered bird did not go to the Crimson Earth Star. From this point, it could be seen that the owner of the blood essence did not have a strong control over it. Perhaps, after such a long time, the means that had been set up earlier had been greatly weakened.
Nearly a month later, the demon bird was shrouded in a ball of white light. It lay motionless in its nest.
After a whole year, the brilliance gradually faded, and a beautiful and slender woman dressed in a white feather dress appeared. Just Now, she came out and floated to the front of a clear lake. Using the water as a mirror, she looked at herself and took a piece of white wood branch to make a comb. She slowly combed her long hair by the lake.
However, she did not forget about the matter on the Crimson Earth Star. After staying here for a few days, she returned to her original form. She flapped her wings and flew towards the virtual sky.
This time, her speed was extremely fast. In less than two years, she arrived at the destination. She circled around the Crimson Earth Star several times. She did not find anything different from the previous time.
Seeing that there was no abnormality, she did not have the mood to stay here. Thus, she turned back. However, she did not go far when she suddenly felt an invisible Weili pressing down on her. After a moment of dizziness, she was shocked to find that she had landed in a palace.
She immediately knew that she had encountered a mighty person. Fortunately, she had a similar experience before, so she did not panic. She calmed her mind and knelt on the ground. She said, "May I know which master is here? West Fuzi pays her respects here."
A clear voice seemed to come from the sky. "Come to the palace to talk."
West Fuzi responded and walked into the main hall. She saw a Daoist in a black robe sitting on a jade platform. Just Now, when she wanted to look at his appearance, she felt dizzy and almost fell. Her Qi dynamic became chaotic. Her face turned pale and she did not dare to look anymore. She knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Celestial Master." Then she asked nervously, "May I know what orders do you have for me to come here?"
Zhang Yan looked down from his seat and said, "Do you have anything to do with this Earth Star?"
West Fuzi shuddered a little and said, "Master, I have nothing to do with this Earth Star. But a long time ago, a mighty being came to me and asked me to guard this place. He asked me to not let any foreign species disturb the Spiritual Vigor of the Earth Star. He also gave me some pointers. I am indebted to him. So, I come here to guard this place every once in a while."
Zhang Yan could tell that she was telling the truth. He asked, "How long did the Fellow Daoist give you pointers, and where did he go in the end?"
West Fuzi bowed his head and replied, "This mighty being stayed in this little demon's abode for a very long time. I don't know the exact time, but the sun and moon alternated about ten thousand times. Then, he flew away and this little demon has never seen him since."
Zhang Yan calculated in his heart. According to the bird demon's location, that person must have stayed in the realm for about thirty years.
From the blood essence, he could tell that he did not have long to live. He might not live more than a hundred years. He stayed here for so long, and it was very likely that he was making arrangements for his death. If what he did later was true, he knew that his life was near and did not want to come back. Therefore, he asked this bird demon to guard him and left the Mountain and Sea Realm.
He thought for a while and said, "Did that Fellow Daoist give me any special instructions?"
West Fuzi thought for a while and said, "He didn't say anything special."
Zhang Yan said, "You've been looking after this place for so many years. Have you ever thought that there might be some unique treasures left on the planet? Have you ever thought about going in and exploring it?"
West Fuzi said in a low voice, "I have thought about it. However, even that mighty person treated it with great caution. How could I dare to covet it? Even if I took it, I would have to bear the Karma. It doesn't belong to me in the first place. Even if I took it, I wouldn't have the good fortune to enjoy it. It's better to just accept it and return peace. "
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Oh, so you also know about the Karma of cultivators. Did you comprehend it yourself?"
West Fuzi was surprised and said, "That's not it. After receiving the guidance of that mighty person, my memories gained many things that I didn't understand before. Even now, I still can't comprehend them. Just Now, I've gained some understanding. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to answer Immortal Master's questions."
Zhang Yan asked again, "Did that Fellow Daoist say that if you encountered an enemy that you couldn't defend against, what would you do?"
West Fuzi looked up and said, "That mighty person said that if I encountered someone that I couldn't defend against, then there was no need to worry about this place. Protecting my own life is the most important thing."
Zhang Yan nodded and thought to himself, "In that case, he must be someone with a Dao."
By saying that he had a Dao, he meant that he had roots. Perhaps he came from some sect with a legacy. The Demons, Devils, and Outsiders of the Mountain and Sea Realm didn't care about such things. If he encountered something like this, he would definitely say that he would defend to the death. As for whether he lived or died, that had nothing to do with them. But this person didn't want to risk his life when dealing with a wild demon. That was enough to show that he was pure in nature. That, coupled with his previous methods, was not something that ordinary Outsiders could cultivate.
He thought for a moment and said, "Did this Fellow Daoist leave behind any records?"
West Fuzi said, "He did. It was a tortoise shell with many strange characters on it. However, I couldn't understand them." She hesitated for a moment and then said, "I am willing to offer this item to you, Immortal Master."
Zhang Yan was surprised. He had just asked casually and hadn't expected that there would really be such a thing. Perhaps he could deduce the origin of this person. He smiled and said, "I want this item of yours. I'll take it for a moment and then return it to you. I won't look at it for nothing. I'll give some benefits to your clan in exchange."
