"I …" Yu Xuan was confused. She didn't know anything and couldn't explain herself.
"What else is there to say? The Vermilion Bird Tribe tried to start a war between the Heavenly Court and the Sorcerer Tribe. They are guilty. Just punish them," Demon Master Kun Peng said impatiently.
"That's right. The Demon Master is right. Although we are not afraid of those muscular barbarians, we are in the wrong. Hand over the culprit and give them an explanation, "the Demon God said in a low voice.
He and Kun Peng had always been on the same side.
"You're right."
"The Vermilion Bird Tribe should be punished for their insolence."
"The Vermilion Bird Tribe is truly sinister in nature …"
The demon gods were used to a lazy life and didn't want to fight the Sorcerer Tribe. The Vermilion Bird Tribe had suddenly started a fight and was just an ordinary tribe of musicians. They didn't think much of it.
Yu Xuan's face turned redder as she listened.
If she had only been afraid at first, then she was truly angry and indignant now.
She tried to defend herself, but the words of the demon gods became more and more unpleasant. The Vermilion Bird Tribe had solid evidence and there was no way to argue.
In the end, it was Xihe who spoke up and persuaded the demon gods to spare Yu Xuan's life.
The Vermilion Bird Tribe had no choice but to hand over their ancestral treasure as the price.
They were spared from this undeserved disaster.
When she walked out of the main palace plaza, Yu Xuan's entire body was trembling with pure anger.
The clan's ancestral treasure, the Nanming Li Fire Sword, had to be handed over. Moreover, it was inexplicably framed. This was a great humiliation to her.
But the situation was against her. This was the best result. If Xihe and Empress hadn't helped, the Vermilion Bird Tribe might have been handed over to the Sorcerer Tribe.
There were only a few dozen Vermilion Birds left in the entire Vermilion Bird Tribe.
After leaving the main palace square, Yu Xuan quickly returned to the Vermilion Bird Palace. Since she said they weren't the culprit, Empress Celestial would hand the matter over to them to find the real culprit.
Since that person used the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, as a wielder of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, Yu Xuan and the other Vermilion Birds would definitely be able to find clues as soon as possible.
Not long after, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Tribe, Yu Xuan, hurriedly left the Heavenly Court with a trusted aide and flew toward the direction of the destroyed Wood Enhancement Tribe.
…
…
Nine days later.
White Hill.
Lu Sheng was currently carefully helping his parents, Lan Xi and Enruo, nourishing their bodies with the aura of the Vermillion Bird's flames.
In his attempts, he discovered that as long as he didn't get too close to the flames, the heat produced would have a nourishing effect on the souls of living creatures.
As a result, when he had nothing to do, he would help Blue Brook and En Rong recuperate their souls.
It had been nine days since they had killed the Zeng Mu Tree. In these nine days, Lu Sheng went into closed door cultivation again and successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
This was also his current bottleneck, because he had only reached this level in his previous world of spiritual energy. After that, he had to forcefully derive additional paths.
At this point, all his previous experience with spiritual energy had been used up. Next, he would have to rely on his own efforts to derive new paths.
After reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in one go, his cultivation speed wouldn't be as fast. After that, he would have to diligently derive new paths step by step.
"Sheng 'er, tell me, have you really awakened the bloodline of the Vermillion Bird??" Lan Xi suddenly asked as he was nourishing his parents. His eyes were solemn.
"That's right. You can tell?" Lu Sheng smiled. "I just awakened it not long ago. I didn't think it would happen so quickly."
Lan Xi and Enruo looked at each other. Both of them had a look of pride on their faces.
"In that case, you are now considered a descendant of the Vermillion Bird Tribe. You have to go to that tribe to register yourself. If you can return to the Vermillion Bird Tribe, it would be a great honor! "
"Return to the Vermillion Bird Tribe?" Lu Sheng was stunned.
"Of course. Since you have the bloodline of the Vermillion Bird, returning to the Vermillion Bird Tribe is the best choice. They have the most complete cultivation experience and inheritance. Everything is in line with the resources needed for the Vermillion Bird's cultivation," Enruo explained patiently. "This will be of great help to you in the future. Compared to the cultivation methods you've collected from the small tribes around you, the legacies that truly form into a system are much more powerful … Truly powerful divine abilities and Dharma treasures can only be created by those legacies."
Lu Sheng also fell into deep thought.
What was the most powerful thing in the primordial era? Divine Abilities! Dharma treasures!
This was the same for ordinary demons and Connate Sages. Above them was the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Below them were Five-Colored Flying Stones and Fire Crow Talismans.
Which one of them wasn't a cultivator or a demon that cultivated for countless years?
Moreover, none of these Dharma treasures could allow one to fight above their level.
Lu Sheng was tempted as he thought about it.
His cultivation could indeed increase rapidly. However, Dharma treasures couldn't be improved quickly without hard work.
Dharma treasures were divided into two categories: Connate and Acquired.
Connate treasures were extremely powerful. If they didn't contain Primordial Purple Qi, then they contained Golden Light of Virtue. Acquired Dharma treasures also had astonishing origins or were cultivated by cultivators with profound cultivation for many years.
Although Lu Sheng's final attack had killed the enemy, he had also broken several of his claws. Thus, he was quite interested in the famous Dharma treasures and Divine Abilities of this place.
"Report!" Suddenly, a small demon from the Radiant Sect charged into the cave. "Sect Leader, there are outsiders who claim to be from the Vermillion Bird Clan. They've come to ask us to cooperate with them in investigating the appearance of the Vermillion Bird bloodline nearby!"
"Hm?" Lu Sheng was stunned. The appearance of the Vermillion Bird bloodline nearby? Wasn't that referring to him? No … Perhaps there was another one. It was the Vermillion Bird Firebird that Blue Brook Enruo had mentioned before. It lived in seclusion in the depths of the Forest of Giant Trees.
"They didn't force their way in?" Lu Sheng asked in astonishment.
"No." The small demon hurriedly replied.
"That's quite strange. Since when did the Forest of Giant Trees have such polite demons? "Lu Sheng rubbed his chin.
In the wilderness, the strong were respected. The strong would never follow the rules of the weak.
Thus, as a member of the Vermillion Bird Clan, they were definitely very strong, but they were willing to follow the rules …
"Let's go take a look first! Sheng 'er, if they really are from the Vermillion Bird Clan, then that's the origin of our ancestor's bloodline!! "Blue Brook said excitedly.
"Our ancestor was a Firebird with the Vermillion Bird bloodline! If they really are from the Vermillion Bird Clan …!! That's a supreme glory that's been cultivated for several lifetimes! That's a divine beast that has existed since the ancient times! "Enruo was also extremely excited.
Lu Sheng was speechless.
"Alright, then let's meet them together." Seeing his parents' expectant and excited gazes, he suppressed his words of telling them to leave first …
With the two spirit sparrows in tow, Lu Sheng moved to a spacious stone hall. He had the small demons bring in spirit fruit wine and set up chairs.
Soon, two charming women in red dresses slowly walked into the stone hall under the guidance of the small demons.
"Are you the leader of the Radiant Church?" Yu Xuan was in a terrible mood, but her long habit of etiquette and her excellent manners as a member of the Vermillion Bird Clan allowed her to remain calm and dignified.
"My name is Yu Xuan, and I'm from the Vermillion Bird Clan. I've come here to investigate if there are any descendants of the Vermillion Bird with a high concentration of the bloodline. As a native, I hope you can assist us in our investigation. "
Yu Xuan praised Lu Sheng inwardly when she saw that his expression didn't change even when he heard the name of the Vermillion Bird Clan.
"I can feel that you have a portion of the Vermillion Bird's bloodline in your body. If you're willing to serve my clan, I can give you a drop of my blood essence as a reward for the transaction."
"A drop of blood essence?" Lu Sheng didn't know if this reward was light or heavy, but the other's Vermillion Bird bloodline was indescribably dense. His own Vermillion Bird bloodline was actually half-baked. He had used Deep Blue to forcefully extrapolate it, so it wasn't pure and contained many random elements.
But if the other's blood essence was absolutely pure, perhaps he could give it to Lan Xi and En Ruo to greatly increase their aptitude and purity.
"Then it's a deal." Lu Sheng nodded. "According to what I know, there really is a Fire Bird with the Vermillion Bird's bloodline here. However, it lives in the depths of the Great Tree Forest, so it won't be easy to find. You've found the right place by coming to find me. Otherwise, if you were to randomly search, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to catch up to it even after half a month. "
Yu Xuan was overjoyed and quickly nodded.
"Then many thanks, little friend." She was already over seven thousand years old. The other side's aura was still young, and the lines on their flesh and bones weren't even a thousand years old.
"Everyone, please sit." Lu Sheng indicated for Yu Xuan and the other to sit down.
"Seniors, you've come from afar, so I don't have much to entertain you with. Please enjoy some wine and wild fruits. However, this junior still has some doubts. What do you plan to do after you find the Vermillion Bird's bloodline? "
"That child has committed a great crime … We can only do our best to protect him … To tell you the truth, the Vermillion Bird Clan is not in a good situation in this world. There are descendants of dragons and phoenixes, and there are various Yao Gods. They are all much stronger than us clans that are skilled in music. You also have the Vermillion Bird's bloodline, so you should know that the only way for us to use our bloodline's divine abilities is to rely on the Nan Ming Li Fire … But the Nan Ming Li Fire has its limits … Music is useful against low-level opponents, but against stronger Yao Gods, it's almost useless … "
Yu Xuan hadn't left the Heavenly Court for a long time, so she was filled with anger and helplessness. She shook her head and complained.
Lu Sheng also frowned. He hadn't reached the limit of the Nan Ming Li Fire's power, but music was useless?
He didn't think so … But looking at Yu Xuan's pained and helpless expression, it didn't seem like she was doing it blindly.
"Speaking of which, Senior, can you tell me what the Vermillion Bird did?" Lu Sheng asked curiously.
"That child doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually slaughtered a great shaman tribe of the shaman tribe …" Yu Xuan sighed.
"Bam!"
Lu Sheng was shocked, and he slammed his palm onto the table in front of him.
"What? How could he be so audacious! Slaughtered a shaman tribe?! "
He turned pale with fright, and he stood up and paced around a few times.
"Don't worry, Senior. I'll definitely help you arrest him and bring him to justice! As a warning to others! "
