"These beads are …"
In his energy vision, Yi Yun could see that the source of the pure Yang energy fluctuations in the cave came from the beads in front of him.
There were a total of twelve beads. Each bead was a crystalline red color, like the purest blood essence stone.
"Could it be … that these beads are the red lotus seeds?"
Yi Yun recalled the scene he had previously seen. The three-legged strange bird had plucked the red lotus seeds and soaked them in large amounts of desolate beast heart blood before bringing the lotus seeds back to the cave.
Now, the beads Yi Yun found contained pure Yang energy of a higher quality than the red lotus seeds he had previously seen. This made Yi Yun even more certain of his guess.
The current situation was very likely that the three-legged strange bird had used the desolate beast heart blood to soak the red lotus seeds. Many of the desolate beasts killed by the strange bird were pure Yang elemental desolate beasts. Their heart blood also contained the essence of energy.
Although they were all pure Yang energy, different desolate beasts had different attributes and laws. As for the red lotus seeds, they could absorb these energies and integrate them into their bodies.
This made the pure Yang energy contained in the red lotus seeds become even purer and more comprehensive.
"This strange bird actually has such intelligence …"
Yi Yun was somewhat surprised. He knew that humans would use lotus seeds to soak in wine. A handful of lotus seeds soaked in old wine for a few years would have the effect of nourishing Yang energy. He never expected that the three-legged strange bird would use its blood to soak the lotus seeds. Desolate beast heart blood was of course much better than wine. It was more suitable for this bloodthirsty red lotus.
From the looks of it, it was unknown how many years these lotus seeds had been soaked in. During this period, it was unknown how much desolate beast heart blood had been absorbed.
This three-legged strange bird had really put in a lot of effort.
Yi Yun guessed that the reason why the strange bird stored the lotus seeds here was to use them to complete its evolution. Many desolate beasts could evolve their bloodline during their maturation process.
This leader bird had already evolved to become three-legged. After many years of accumulation, it could absorb the essence of the Sun and Moon, absorbing pure Yang energy, and after swallowing these pure Yang lotus seeds, it would not be surprising for its body to grow feathers and show some of the characteristics of the ancient Golden Crow.
"Brother strange bird, it has been hard on you. I have benefited greatly from you this time. Thank you!" Yi Yun muttered to himself and in a blink of an eye, he stored all the pure Yang relics in the turtle shell into his interspatial ring.
The rules of the world had always been like this. The strange bird had killed countless desolate beasts and collected their heart blood to nurture the blood lotus seeds.
And Yi Yun had stolen the Blood Lotus Seed, causing it to fall short of success.
The billions of living beings in the world were doing their best to grow and become stronger. There was no good or evil in this process, only the strong and the weak.
The strong preyed on the weak, that was the law of this world.
After Yi Yun kept the lotus seeds, he covered the turtle shell and quickly left the cave. He paused for a moment at the entrance of the cave, and when he was certain that no desolate beasts were paying attention to him, his body seemed to stick to the rocks and he instantly disappeared.
Yi Yun circled back to the back of the cliff. This was a blind spot for all the desolate beasts.
He jumped down from the cliff. The wind whistled past his ears, but his landing point was not a speck of dust.
Not far away, the fight between the strange bird and the giant tortoise became more and more bloody. The giant tortoise's tongue had already been torn apart by the strange bird's claws.
The giant tortoise no longer dared to easily extend its tongue, for fear that its tongue would be sliced off by the strange bird at its root.
The current giant tortoise was indeed in a much more miserable state than when Yi Yun first saw it. Its body was covered in wounds. The plants that grew on the tortoise's shell and the layers of soil had long been destroyed.
Its neck, head and legs were covered in wounds. There were burns and scratches, there were countless of them.
However, the strange bird had also paid a terrible price. At least a third of the strange bird had been bitten to death by the giant tortoise. Some of the strange bird corpses had been melted by the venom, while others were sucked into the giant tortoise's mouth. It chewed on the corpses to replenish its stamina.
Now, the giant tortoise's mouth was filled with blood that flowed out like a red waterfall!
This blood was the giant tortoise's own, as well as the strange bird's. The Fusang Forest had already been dyed red by the blood. The mud mixed with the flesh and blood formed a bright red swamp!
It was a shocking sight to see the battle reach such a state!
The strange bird and the giant tortoise, the two overlords of the second level of the God Advent Tower, would probably decide the victor today. It would determine who was the absolute ruler of the second level of the God Advent Tower!
At this moment, Yi Yun's main goal had been achieved. He could have left, but he did not plan on leaving.
Not far away, the strange bird corpses were also good stuff.
Although due to the Aspect Totem's condensing rules, desolate beasts that were not killed by one's own hands could not be used to condense a beast mark, just using the strange bird corpses as materials to refine a pure Yang relic was a very good choice.
Yi Yun coveted it for a while, but he eventually gave up on the idea. The reason was that if he wanted to obtain the strange bird corpses, he needed to approach the battlefield. The strange birds had extremely sharp vision, so if he were to steal the corpses, he might be discovered.
It was not worth it.
Hence, Yi Yun turned his gaze towards the lava pool. In the lava pool, the red lotus was bathed in blood. Not only did the battle between the desolate beasts not disturb the red lotus, the bloody storm was also the nourishment it liked the most.
Yi Yun sighed slightly. His current position was a few thousand feet away from the red lotus. The lava pool where the red lotus was was different from the strange bird's nest. There was no concealment there, so Yi Yun needed time to rush over or pluck the red lotus. In broad daylight, there was a high chance that he would be discovered by the strange bird.
If that was the case, the consequences would be disastrous. The three-legged strange bird might even give up on the giant tortoise and charge at him without a care.
And with its speed, Yi Yun did not have the confidence to escape.
How to safely pluck the red lotus was a problem.
After a slight hesitation, various thoughts flashed in Yi Yun's mind, but he rejected them one by one. Finally, he decided to stake it all on one throw!
Yi Yun did not directly charge at the red lotus, for that was courting death. He used the blind spot of the cliff to run down the mountain.
Yi Yun used his movement technique and in about a minute, he reached his destination.
At this moment, in front of Yi Yun was a deep valley. Below the valley, there was flowing lava!
This lava valley was connected to the lava pool on the mountain.
Yi Yun hesitated for a while before he jumped down from the top of the valley!
He jumped a few times along the cliff, and finally climbed up the rocks, arriving above the lava. Here, the lava layer was just a few meters away from Yi Yun. The white lava flowed quietly, and the rolling heat waves were like flames roasting Yi Yun's face. The heat was overwhelming!
"I cultivate pure Yang laws, so I can control pure Yang energy. With the Purple Crystal protecting me, I should be able to dive into the lava!"
Yi Yun muttered to himself as he released the rocks with one hand and jumped towards the lava lake!
