Qin Di whistled, and the Five-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird flew over. It transformed into a little bird about four inches in length, and it let out a crisp bird's voice. "Chirp chirp, why are you so late?"
Qin Di smiled and asked, "Feng 'er, I see that you've grown taller again. Have you reached the Ninth Order?"
"Chirp, that's right."
"That's fast. It's only been a few years. You've already progressed so quickly. "
"I was at the peak of the eighth stage and was only one step away from the ninth stage."
"When will you be able to assume human form? I heard you can assume human form at the ninth stage? Is that right? "
"Chirp, I can't. Only a small number of people can assume human form at the ninth stage. Assuming human form is related to one's bloodline. Most birds and beasts have to wait until they reach the tenth stage and undergo a Nascent Soul tribulation. However, some mythological beasts need to reach the thirteenth or fourteenth stage, or even the seventeenth or eighteenth stage before they can assume human form. The later they assume human form, the more potential they have. "
"Oh, so that's how it is. In that case, I hope you can assume human form later."
"Chirp, I've already been on this continent for a few years! I need to go out and get some fresh air! You've trapped me here for too long. "
Qin Di was feeling a little guilty. He had too many things to cultivate, so he had been so busy that he had forgotten some things. "Alright, where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere is fine. I'll be happy as long as I can fly freely in the sky."
"I'll take you out first. Are you afraid of the cold? If not, how about we go to the northern part of the North Sea? I heard there's a huge fire vein there. "
"I'm fine with that! Even though I've cultivated a five-elemental cultivation technique, my foundation is still that of a fire cultivator. The Azure Dragon in the East, the White Tiger in the West, the Vermilion Bird in the South, and the Black Tortoise in the North. I'm a branch of the phoenix, so I need a huge fire vein. The Blazing Flame Sect of the South Sea is too stingy. They've sealed off a huge fire vein, so I don't even have a chance to get close. "
Qin Di emerged from the water with the Five-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird. He didn't summon his Sky-Piercing Ark. Instead, he and the bird flew toward the north.
The four-inch bird didn't fly very fast, so Qin Di was able to keep up with it by riding the wind.
After flying for over five hundred kilometers, the Five-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird began to grow impatient, and it abruptly expanded its body to around eighty feet. "Chirp chirp, come sit on my back, we'll fly faster!"
"Great! I'll have to trouble you then, Feng Er. "She landed on the Five-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird's back as she spoke.
The Five-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird spread its wings and soared into the sky.
"Hehe, your body is so light, it's not even as heavy as a rock. When I was at the Southern Sea Bird Island, I saw the Jingwei Bird with my own eyes. Every day, it would carry stones in its beaks to fill up the sea. Each stone weighed a thousand pounds. "
Qin Di was shocked: "There really is a Jingwei Bird? Why does it reclaim the sea? "
"The bird said that she was called 'Nu Wa' in her previous life and was engaged to the Golden Crow Prince. Later on, the prince was killed by an arrow and fell into the sea. Even his corpse couldn't be found. The girl was very sad and went to the seaside to pay her respects. Unfortunately, she also drowned. That's why she hated the sea. After being reborn as a Jingwei Bird, she carries stones to fill up the sea every day. "
Qin Di was speechless after hearing this. He thought: "Why is the Golden Crow Prince involved again? I wonder who shot him with the arrow. Could it be the legendary Hou Yi? If it really is Hou Yi, then this world is a bit strange. It's mixed up with the legends I heard in my previous life. Could it be that Xihe didn't seek revenge from Hou Yi after losing her son? "
With this thought, he asked: "Feng Er, do you know who shot the Golden Crow Prince to death? The Golden Crow Prince is also a bird like you. Does your race have any theories? "
The Five-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird replied while flying: "Back then, the Golden Crow Prince cultivated a fire-elemental cultivation method that had reached the thirteenth level, equivalent to the human early-stage Void Step. However, he was too hot-tempered. If someone accidentally provoked him, he would burn them for a thousand miles without saying a word. In the end, he angered an immortal from the heavenly realm who shot him to death with an arrow."
"What was the name of that immortal?"
"I don't know. Perhaps the Golden Crow Prince's mother, Xihe, knows, but she never said who it was."
Qin Di thought to himself: "It's fortunate that she didn't say it. Otherwise, I wouldn't know if I would've believed her if she had said the name Hou Yi."
After a while, he asked again: "Feng Er, have you been to the Eastern Continent? I heard that there is a continent to the east of the Dead Sea where birds, beasts, and a small number of humans live. I don't know if it's true or not. "
"Chirp, of course it's true. If you fly east from the Southern Sea Bird Continent, you will reach the Eastern Continent in less than 100,000 miles. As a result, many birds have been there. Back then, I flew there with a peacock and found that there were too many beasts there. Our bird race's territory was very small. Ever since Di Jun left, the bird race became weaker and weaker. Even so, the bird race still occupied tens of millions of miles of land. I didn't have any relatives or backers there, so I came back because I wasn't used to it. "
"Thank you for your explanation, Feng Er. I've obtained a lot of information from you that might be useful in the future."
The man and bird chatted as they flew. Before they knew it, they had flown over countless mountains and rivers and were about to reach the North Sea.
Just as they were flying, an arrow suddenly shot up from the ground with a sharp whistle!
The arrow was extremely fast and reached the Pentashade Divine Vermilion Bird in the blink of an eye!
Qin Di was given a fright. "Damn it, who's that? Does he think I'm the Golden Crow Prince? "
The Pentashade Divine Vermilion Bird let out a sharp cry and suddenly shifted to the side to evade the arrow. Then, she reached out and grabbed the arrow.
Qin Di focused his gaze and found that it was a finely crafted golden arrow. The tail seemed to have been made from the feathers of a high-grade bird.
Before he could react, the Pentashade Divine Vermilion Bird had already dived down.
It had only descended for less than a thousand feet when three more arrows came flying at it.
This time, the Pentashade Divine Vermilion Bird was unable to evade and could only grab onto the arrows. Its entire body swayed slightly from the impact.
Qin Di couldn't sit still on the bird's back and hurriedly jumped down. He grabbed onto the Azure Heaven Sword and God Sealing Pagoda before descending from the other side.
The archer's attention had been drawn to the Pentashade Divine Vermilion Bird, so he naturally didn't have time to spare for Qin Di.
Qin Di quickly descended to the ground to find a middle-aged man in a purple robe with a crown on his head. His face was long and thin, and his nose was like an eagle's. There was a ferocious look in his eyes, and he held a longbow in his hand, from which he was unleashing a relentless barrage of arrows.
"Stop! Who are you? How can you attack without a word? "
"Hmph! How can a junior like you own such a beautiful bird? Go to hell! This bird is mine! "
With that, the man turned his body and wanted to shoot an arrow at Qin Di.
Unfortunately for him, the Pentashade Divine Vermilion Bird was already within a few hundred feet of him. Furthermore, it was coming at him with a ferocious momentum and a pair of claws were already flying toward him.
The archer didn't have time to nock an arrow, so he pulled out a treasured sword and swung it toward the Pentashade Divine Vermilion Bird.
Qin Di didn't hold back and immediately released his Azure Heaven Sword and God Sealing Pagoda!
The pagoda suddenly expanded in size and revolved in the air before descending upon the archer's head. At the same time, the Azure Heaven Sword was also about to reach his neck!
The archer's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly evaded the Azure Heaven Sword. However, he was still restricted by the God Sealing Pagoda, and his movements became much slower.
Qin Di allowed the God Sealing Pagoda and the Azure Heaven Sword to dance in the air. Almost at the same time, he unleashed his Brilliant White Radiance. Then, he wielded the Dragon Wood Spear in his left hand and the Heaven Separation Hook in his right. All five spirit treasures were unleashed at the same time as he attacked the archer!
Only now did the archer's heart tremble with fear. He didn't think that he would accidentally poke a hornet's nest. He was just about to unleash a technique to teleport ten thousand feet away when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The Brilliant White Radiance had already pierced through his chest! Almost at the same time, the Pentashade Divine Vermilion Bird also unleashed a Pentashade Divine Vermilion Bird. Tens of thousands of beams of iridescent light shot forth, half of which struck the archer's body!
The archer's body was riddled with holes, but he didn't die. He could only lie on the ground, panting heavily.
At this moment, the Azure Heaven Sword sliced through his neck and decapitated him.
His body and his Golden Core were both enveloped by the God Sealing Pagoda.
