His heart felt heavy.
This Spirit Beast Ring was a precious treasure, and if Senior Brother knew that it was crippled, he would be in extreme pain. When Jiang Yi thought of Dong Jianxin's expression, he couldn't help but want to laugh, and he wouldn't be so depressed anymore.
The Vermillion Bird stared at Chu Li without blinking. It seemed to be deeply in love, but it was actually hatred.
Chu Li asked, "Why are you after me? We don't have any grudges, right?"
He knew that spirit beasts would become stronger every time they advanced. Now, the Azure Dragon and Vitality Devouring Turtle could communicate with him without the Dragon Taming Technique. Although they could not speak, they could express their thoughts clearly.
A rank one spirit beast should be more powerful, so if he tried to speak, it might be able to understand him.
"Because you're a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect!" The Vermillion Bird's clear voice rang in Chu Li's mind. Its tone was no different from a human's, filled with hatred. "Everyone from the Spirit Beast Sect deserves to die!"
Chu Li sighed. This Vermillion Bird could speak directly in his mind without needing to understand him.
He shook his head. "The Spirit Beast Sect has been destroyed. I'm from outside the Hundred-Thousand Hills. The Spirit Beast Sect doesn't exist. I only obtained this ring by accident. Besides, the Dragon Taming Technique isn't a martial art of the Spirit Beast Sect."
"The Dragon Taming Technique is a martial art of the Spirit Beast Sect!" The Vermillion Bird scoffed.
Chu Li asked, "Are the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect that weak?"
"I don't know." The Vermillion Bird replied.
Chu Li smiled. "Have you never seen the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect?"
The Vermillion Bird scoffed. "They're long dead. Where can I see them? I'm less than a thousand years old."
"How long have you lived?" Chu Li asked.
The Vermillion Bird replied, "Eight hundred years."
Chu Li was speechless. "It seems like the Spirit Beast Sect is really extinct. I found the ring by accident."
"You're lying!" The Vermillion Bird scoffed. "Who else can refine this ring other than the Spirit Beast Sect?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm not an Enlightened Master. I can't refine it. I just wanted to have some fun. It's quite interesting."
"Hmph, you cultivated the Dragon Taming Technique. You must die!"
The Vermillion Bird said, "I'm a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain. If you have seniors who can enter the Outland, you should know that my sect is not the Spirit Beast Sect even though it's related to them.
"… You have cultivated the Spirit Beast Sect's mantra, you must die!" Vermillion Bird said.
Chu Li sighed. "I really don't want to kill you."
"I want to kill you!" The Vermillion Bird shouted in a loud and clear voice. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a wisp of vital energy.
While the two of them were talking, she had been urging her Sea of Spirit to keep Chu Li immersed in the magma. Moreover, her immense majesty had been pressing down on him, but it was useless against Chu Li.
The Indestructible Vajra Body and Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture barely managed to block it, and it was getting easier and easier.
Chu Li's expression changed slightly, and his body flashed to avoid the vitality.
His entire body felt cold. Although this vital energy was incomparably hot, as if it could scorch him from ten feet away.
This Yuan Qi was too dangerous. Once one encountered it, there was no chance of survival.
However, teleportation was impossible in the sea of spiritual energy, so he could only rely on his movement techniques to evade.
On the surface, this vitality looked like a cloud of white gas, like a light fog. However, under the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, it was actually a ball of fire. Once touched by it, even water might not be able to extinguish it.
He dodged left and right, but this vitality seemed to have a life of its own. It chased after him like a real Vermillion Bird, and its speed was extremely fast.
Chu Li glanced at the Vermillion Bird in the distance.
A hundred feet away, the Vermillion Bird was staring at him quietly. Its clear eyes seemed to be smiling, and its playful intention was obvious. It was like a cat playing with a mouse. Perhaps it had stayed in the Hundred-Thousand Hills for too long. Now that a human had finally entered, it wanted to play with him.
Chu Li gritted his teeth, secretly hating it.
The speed of this vitality was getting faster, and it was rapidly devouring the surrounding spiritual energy to strengthen itself. It became stronger and faster, like a rolling snowball. If this continued, he would not be able to avoid it.
Being in its Sea of Spirit, he could not teleport. If he wanted to escape, the only way was to severely injure it.
When he thought of this, he snorted softly. The God Slaying Sword in his mind flashed and instantly shot out.
A startled sound was heard, and the surrounding Sea of Spirit dissipated.
In a flash, Chu Li appeared next to the Spirit Beast Bracelet, swept it up, and disappeared in front of the Vermillion Bird.
The Sea of Spirit around the Vermillion Bird recovered, but its clear eyes were dull. It could no longer maintain its original sparrow shape, and it returned to its original size of a Spirit Crane. It stared in the direction where Chu Li had disappeared, and finally, it let out a clear cry, turned into a red light, and disappeared into the sky.
— —
Chu Li appeared at the peak of a mountain with a lingering fear. He let out a long sigh of relief.
Although his sword was powerful, it was not enough to kill the Vermillion Bird. The power of that sword was much weaker than the usual God Slaying Sword. In a situation where the murderous intent was insufficient, the God Slaying Sword's murderous nature was not as strong.
He lowered his head to look at the Spirit Beast Bracelet.
The Spirit Beast Bracelet, which was originally white jade, had now turned black, as if it had become a rusty copper bracelet. It gave off a sense of vicissitudes, as if it had experienced a long time.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Chu Li. Could this be the original appearance of the Spirit Beast Bracelet?
He sighed and shook his head. He decided not to show this to his senior brother, lest he felt sorry for it. It was a pity that such a treasure was useless after only one use. It could not be used to tame a rank one spirit beast, so it was useless. He already had two rank one and a half spirit beasts, so he did not care much for those below rank one and a half.
He looked at the dull black bracelet for a while, but he did not give up. He tried to sense it again, but there was still no reaction. It seemed to be completely useless, so he activated the Dragon Taming Technique.
Just as he was about to enter the bracelet, he suddenly stopped. A strange intuition appeared, telling him to stay away from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.
Chu Li quickly let go of it, and it fell to the ground.
It was no wonder he did not rush to investigate it. It was as if he was indifferent, but it was his intuition that was playing an invisible role.
Now that he thought about it, he felt that his previous reaction was a little strange. After seeing that it was useless, he did not think too much about it, nor did he rush to investigate it. It was as if it was useless and it did not matter.
Originally, it was the danger that made him instinctively want to stay away from it.
Chu Li quickly deduced in his mind why it was dangerous, and why it made him stay away.
After a while, he realized that it must be the vermilion feather that turned into a ball of flame, which scared him away. It was very likely that it was the one that destroyed the Spirit Beast Bracelet.
As for why it was dangerous, it was obvious that the ball of flame still existed in the Spirit Beast Bracelet, so it was best not to touch it.
Chu Li stared at the Spirit Beast Bracelet on the ground for a long time and remained silent.
In the end, he decided to give it a try. Although it was dangerous, the Spirit Beast Bracelet had been destroyed, so its power should be around 70% to 80%. Although he was not talented, he should still be able to fight back.
Moreover, he wanted to know how the Spirit Beast Bracelet was destroyed and if it could be restored. More importantly, he wanted to deduce the location of the Spirit Beast Sect from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.
He kept deducing in his mind, but there was an invisible force that prevented him from succeeding.
He believed that as his cultivation level increased, he would definitely be able to deduce the location of the Spirit Beast Sect and its inheritance. Then, he would be able to cultivate to become an Enlightened Master.
