Seeing Shun Long's expression, Wutian could not help but shake his head and laugh.
Just as he was about to condense the Heaven-Destroying Battle Qi, a doubt crept into his mind. He asked in confusion, "Your ancestor, the Flood Dragon Emperor's bloodline power, hasn't reached atavism? Why does he only have one head?"
Unexpectedly, Shun Long was taken aback and immediately asked, "Who said that his bloodline power has not reached atavism?"
"Hmm?" Wutian said in surprise, "Has the Flood Dragon Emperor transformed into a Fire Dragon?"
Shun Long said, "Of course. As early as a million years ago, with the help of Sikong War God, my ancestor's bloodline power had already returned to its ancestral state. But since then, he had never shown his true body, so no one knew. In other words, the strength you see now is not my ancestor's true strength."
"Not his true strength?" Wutian was shocked.
At this time, Black Tortoise interrupted, "Shun Long is right. No matter what kind of Ferocious Beast it is, after transforming into human form, its strength will be reduced by at least one-third. If I'm not wrong, the reason why the Flood Dragon Emperor hid his true form is that he is afraid that others will covet his Dragon Pearl. In addition, people in this era know almost nothing about ancient divine beasts like the Fire Dragon. As long as he doesn't say it or shows his true form, no one will know."
Wutian was in a daze. The Flood Dragon Emperor, this old guy, really hid it well!
According to Shun Long and Black Tortoise, even the Four Great Saints did not know that the Flood Dragon Emperor had successfully transformed.
Antiques who had lived for countless years were indeed not easy to deal with.
Wutian sighed in his heart. Immediately, he said, "Handsome man, you heard Senior Black Tortoise's words. Just in case, you have to keep your human form and learn from your ancestor. Completely forget that you have transformed into a Fire Dragon."
Shun Long stretched out his slender fingers and touched his high nose. He smiled and said, "As long as my appearance is not too frightening, it doesn't matter whether I am in human form or not."
"F * ck!" Wutian immediately gave him the middle finger. He was deeply hurt in his heart.
In fact, Wutian didn't care much about his appearance. However, his ordinary appearance was his only flaw, so he felt a little hurt.
After that, Wutian calmed his mind and sat cross-legged on the turtle shell. He told Shun Long, "You only need to focus on cultivating when you're with me. Work hard to improve your strength. You don't have to worry about the evil energy corroding your mind."
"Really?" Shun Long was surprised. Wasn't this the problem that had troubled him for hundreds of years? If he could solve this problem, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted in the Western Regions?
Wutian nodded. He did not explain anything, nor did he ask about Huo Long's legacy. He opened his 99 meridians and earth veins and quickly entered a state of cultivation.
Instantly, Shun Long noticed that the evil aura around him had completely ignored him. Even the evil aura that had invaded his body earlier was seeping out of his pores and gathering towards Wutian.
"How is that possible? He can actually absorb the evil aura! " Shun Long was extremely surprised. However, like Wutian, he didn't pursue the matter further. He sat cross-legged on the turtle shell and soon entered a state of cultivation.
They both knew that they didn't need to ask about certain things on purpose. They would eventually learn about it in the future. So, why bother wasting their time?
Time was like the sand between one's fingers. Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Three months later, Wutian and his companions arrived at the tenth forbidden area.
As for Wutian's injuries and strength, he had already recovered. He had accumulated thirty streams of Heaven-Exterminating Battle Qi. Only the cracks on the Black Tortoise's turtle shell had not made any progress.
However, after entering the tenth area, Wutian had found a lot of refining materials along the way. When he arrived at the forbidden area, he had found ten Mustard Seed Bags!
He had only found them along the way. He didn't look for them on purpose.
If he had looked for them carefully, even a hundred Mustard Seed Bags would not have been able to contain them.
This also confirmed Black Tortoise's guess that the Sky-crossing Bridge and the other two divine items had only swept through the first nine areas.
Shun Long had also suggested that they continue to go deeper after collecting the materials. However, Wutian and Black Tortoise had rejected his suggestion. Although the materials were important, the root of all evil and the divine bones of the Azure Dragon and other divine beasts were more important.
…
The Vermilion Bird's head was sealed in the tenth forbidden area.
Their strength was at the peak of the Heavenly Being Stage. The three of them worked together and easily erased the evil spirit inside. After unsealing it, Wutian put it into his Mustard Seed Bag and continued to go deeper.
In this way, Wutian had gathered the Vermilion Bird's wings, claws, tail, head, and the last part was the Vermilion Bird's body.
This was also the most important part.
As long as he could get it, Black Tortoise would be able to unlock the Vermilion Bird's inheritance.
In order to get the inheritance as soon as possible, Wutian was very motivated. He tried his best not to let Black Tortoise do anything. He only focused on traveling. The rest was settled by him and Shun Long.
Along the way, they encountered many mutant creatures and even quite a number of Lords.
The so-called lords were like the old man in black who had chased Wutian for months in the first area and was finally killed by Black Tortoise.
They were the strongest in the area, but there was still a difference between them and the Vermilion Bird in the forbidden area. They were also killed by Wutian and Black Tortoise.
Needless to say, Wutian didn't even bother to put the materials in his Mustard Seed Bag. He directly opened his third eye and swept through the area. As for the quantity, he couldn't remember.
Not to mention him, even Shun Long was numb. He had lost his initial 'passion'.
However, when the three of them arrived at the eleventh forbidden area and saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned.
The entire forbidden area seemed to have been turned upside down. It was broken and devastated. Apart from many strange creatures, there was no sign of the Vermilion Bird.
"Maybe the Vermilion Bird's dragon horn and tail bone are the sealed Azure Dragon's." Shun Long guessed.
Wutian thought about it, and this was the only explanation that could explain it clearly.
He didn't believe that someone could be faster than Black Tortoise and arrive first. Judging from the broken marks on the ground, at least three hundred years had passed.
After another three months, Wutian and the other two appeared in the twelfth forbidden area.
In the end, he discovered that it was just like the eleventh forbidden area, completely destroyed and in a mess!
The two of them looked at each other. Shun Long said, "It can't be so coincidental. Azure Dragon's tail bone and dragon horn just happened to be sealed in the eleventh and twelfth forbidden areas!"
Wutian said, "It's possible. Because other things can be faked, but the traces of battle can't be faked. Look at the traces on the ground. It's obvious that it happened four or five hundred years ago. It's even older than the eleventh forbidden area."
"I hope it's as you said. Black Tortoise, let's continue," Shun Long said.
"Little guy, let me tell you in advance. The deeper you go, the more terrifying the evil Qi is. If you can't bear it, don't force yourself. Just tell me so that I can slow down," Black Tortoise said.
"Okay." Wutian nodded. He didn't dare to be careless when facing the evil Qi that could even corrode the bones of divine beasts like Black Tortoise.
Then, the three of them continued on their way.
Without stopping, they passed through three forbidden areas. Wutian had eighty-eight strands of Battle Qi in his Hidden Sea.
There was also a lot of evil Qi that hadn't been converted into Battle Qi.
This was because Wutian didn't have time to convert it!
It could be seen that the evil Qi in the depths was many times stronger than outside the ninth forbidden area.
Wutian also found something interesting. He could absorb the spiritual essence and essence of the Astral Realm through the Sky-reaching Divine Wood, as well as the elemental energy and the murderous aura of the Blood-maned Bulls and Han Tian.
With the addition of these energies, not only did they not repel the evil Qi, on the contrary, they merged with each other, greatly increasing the speed of Wutian's Battle Qi.
In addition, Wutian tried to use his Battle Qi to refine his bloodline power. The effect was very obvious, but he decisively gave up.
Because the amount of Battle Qi needed to refine his bloodline power was too great. After a strand of Battle Qi flowed through the blood vessels in his body, it disappeared without a trace. He couldn't bear such a price for the time being.
Time flew. What Black Tortoise was worried about didn't happen. It only took three months for the three of them to pass through the thirteenth forbidden area and enter the forbidden area.
However, unexpectedly, the thirteenth forbidden area was also full of holes!
After scanning the forbidden area, Shun Long's face turned cold. He said in a low voice, "This time, we can be sure that someone beat us to it."
Wutian nodded slightly. His eyes were slightly gloomy.
The land in front of them was beyond recognition. It was obviously different from the previous two forbidden areas. All the scars were brand new. There were even remnants of the battle between heaven and earth.
Leaping down from the tortoise shell, Wutian grabbed a handful of soil and examined it carefully. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the soil, which was as small as grains of sand, sank into the depths of the ground like indestructible steel balls accompanied by popping sounds.
Then, he stomped his foot on the ground. The place exploded, and a crater tens of thousands of feet wide appeared. After returning to Black Tortoise's back, he said, "Based on the moisture of the soil, the battle happened a month ago."
"A month ago, we entered the thirteenth forbidden area. Who could be so fast and ahead of us?" Shun Long lowered his head and rubbed his brows. After a while, he raised his head and said in surprise, "Could it be an alien creature?"
"Impossible!"
Unexpectedly, Wutian and Black Tortoise refuted at the same time.
"Why?" Shun Long was puzzled.
Black Tortoise sneered. "To put it bluntly, no matter how strong an alien creature is, it wouldn't dare to provoke the Divine Bones of the Four Mythical Beasts. The reason is that their bodies have been corroded by the evil aura. They can't withstand our attacks at all. The other reason is that they don't have the ability to open the seal.
"In the entire Western Region, only a pseudo-deity can defeat the God's Bone and open the seal. After all, he was there when the Four Great Mythical Beasts were sealed. He must know the trick to lift the seal."
"However, the pseudo-deity was sealed by the Sky-crossing Bridge and other artifacts. His divine consciousness was suppressed by the stone tablet. He doesn't know what happened here at all. So, he can be eliminated. Then, only Li Tian and Zhao Qing, who are highly regarded by the pseudo-deity, and those mysterious golden-armored men …"
After painstakingly unraveling the cocoon, he finally locked onto his target.
