Gu Xuan's eyes widened.
He had been using the voice transmission talisman for so long because he was lonely.
The Vermilion Bird Princess had been here all along!
Gu Xuan's mouth twitched as he glanced at the Vermilion Bird Portrait of the Nine Heavens.
Earlier, he had clearly seen that the Vermilion Bird Princess had flown out from there.
But in the end, Gu Xuan's gaze fell on the gift list in the Vermilion Bird Princess' right hand.
"Needless to say, that gift list was on my table before I came back, right?"
Gu Xuan finally connected the dots.
One of the reasons why the higher-ups of the Ying Tian Sect did not tell him that Li Yuanhao had sent someone to the Ying Tian Sect was because everyone thought that Gu Xuan already knew about it.
After all, Gu Xuan was in the room on the top floor of the Sky Reaching Tower.
And that gift list was placed on his desk.
He saw it when he glanced at it.
But who would have thought that the Vermilion Bird Princess would take the gift list away?
Gu Xuan felt that the world was dangerous. The people of the Ying Tian Sect were too honest.
The Vermilion Bird Princess waved her hand, and the gift list flew back to Gu Xuan's table.
She looked at Gu Xuan with a faint smile.
"Now, isn't this gift list on your table too?
I was just looking at it casually because I was bored.
Why, do you have a problem with it? "
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Didn't you just say that you were having a beauty sleep?
Wasn't the speed of this change a little too fast?
Of course, Gu Xuan could only think about this in his heart. The consequences of slapping the Vermilion Bird Princess' face were very serious.
It was very likely that her heart would be hurt, and she would need six divine elixir pills to heal the wound.
Gu Xuan was not willing to do such a thing.
He forced himself to smile.
"Why would I have a problem with it?
The Ying Tian Sect is your home. You can look at whatever you want!
Here are five divine elixir pills. Your Highness, please accept them. "
With a thought, five exquisite jade boxes appeared in Gu Xuan's hand.
Each of the jade boxes contained a divine elixir pill, which was refined by the Alchemy Venerable.
The Vermilion Bird Princess smiled and waved her right hand gently. The five divine elixir pills disappeared without a trace.
"Now, can we start to set up the Sky Stealing Array?"
Gu Xuan rubbed his hands and pointed at the Sky-stealing Saint Pill on the table with an expectant look.
The Vermilion Bird Princess picked up the Heaven Pilfering Saint Pill and fiddled with it.
"Yes, it is indeed the Heaven Stealing Divine Pill refined by the Eastern Wall Pill Saint.
Whether it was its medicinal efficacy, the energy contained within, or its mysteries, it was far superior to the sacred pills refined by a cheap pill saint like the Paragon of Pills.
With it, the Heaven Stealing Array will definitely be successfully set up. "
The Vermilion Bird Princess paused for a moment before changing the topic.
"However, this matter cannot be rushed.
Right now, there's something more important! "
Gu Xuan was stunned for a moment. A trace of doubt flashed across his face.
"Something more important?
Is there anything more important than the Ying Tian Sect having one more consummate first tribulation? "
The Vermilion Bird Princess nodded seriously.
"That's right, it's just to satisfy my curiosity.
Tell me everything that happened after you went to the Li family.
Also, tell me everything that happened before and after you destroyed the Heavenly Stellar Kingdom.
If I'm satisfied with what I hear, I might start setting up the Heaven Stealing Array tonight.
If you're not satisfied, hehe … "
The rest of her words were self-explanatory.
With that, the Vermilion Bird Princess slowly walked barefoot to a rocking chair and lay down. She even closed her eyes, looking as if she was about to listen to a hypnotic story.
The corner of Gu Xuan's mouth twitched a few times.
Damn it, who put that rocking chair there?
Once the Vermilion Bird Princess left, everything in this room that could lie down would have to be taken away!
But now, Gu Xuan could not do anything to stop the Vermilion Bird Princess from lying down. He could only look as if there was nothing left to live for as he began to tell the story.
He could not tell the story too quickly. If he told it too quickly, the Vermilion Bird Princess would not be able to hear him clearly.
Gu Xuan could only slow down.
In addition, he spoke very carefully and did not miss any details.
In fact, he did not completely understand the many things that happened in the Li family.
He purposely told the story in detail in hopes that the Vermilion Bird Princess would be able to discover something.
After all, the Vermilion Bird Princess was much more knowledgeable than him.
Thus, the story went on for several hours.
When night fell, the long story finally came to an end.
The Vermilion Bird Princess finally opened her eyes.
Unfortunately, she did not express any opinion on the story that Gu Xuan told her.
The Vermilion Bird Princess did not say anything about the star pattern on Gu Xuan's right hand and the seal that his future self had left on his alchemy skills.
It was as if she was just listening to a story.
After listening to it, it was over. There was no need to express any opinion at all.
"Aren't you going to give me some pointers?
How should I decipher the words on this star pattern?
How should I remove the seal on my alchemy skills?
Also, my future self warned me not to become an alchemy saint. Should I do as he said?
These are all related to me, your most beloved junior. It's a matter of life and death. Aren't you going to give me some advice? "
The Vermilion Bird Princess smiled slightly and stretched her long waist. A pair of jade-like feet lightly tapped the void, and her entire body soared into the sky.
"Before listening to the story, if you say that you have so many questions, then I won't listen to it.
Besides, you're not the junior I dote on the most.
So, I won't give you any pointers. "
The Vermilion Bird Princess flew out.
"Let's go. Take the Sky-stealing Saint Pill and let's go find the Elf Emperor.
I've already set up the Sky-stealing Array long ago.
Otherwise, why do you think I would appear in the Ying Tian Sect?
I just thought that it was about time for you to come back, so I came early and set up the Sky-stealing Array in advance.
As long as I add the three core treasures, the array can be activated! "
Gu Xuan's pupils constricted slightly.
Although he did not receive any pointers from the Vermilion Bird Princess, he was still surprised that the Sky-stealing Array had been set up long ago.
Gu Xuan put away the Sky-stealing Saint Pill and followed the Vermilion Bird Princess to the Elf Emperor's territory.
"It seems that I misunderstood you, Your Highness.
You are not deliberately stalling for time and making fun of me.
It's just that the Sky-stealing Array can only be activated at night!
If that's the case, then tonight, we'll be able to deceive the heavens and steal longevity from the heavens! "
Gu Xuan clenched his fists, his eyes full of anticipation.
The Vermilion Bird Princess rolled her eyes at Gu Xuan.
"Making fun of you? With your boring appearance, I'm afraid I won't be happy if I try to make fun of you.
Fortunately, although you are boring, you have some wisdom and can see my good intentions.
Not bad, if everything goes well, we can activate the Sky-stealing Array tonight! "
The Vermilion Bird Princess's eyes flashed.
"However, there is one thing that I have to correct again.
We are not stealing life from the heavens, but stealing life!
Stealing life against the heavens! "
Gu Xuan's eyes also flashed with a bright light.
"Yes, helping a dying person to extend his life is called stealing life.
We're snatching in the open, defying the heavens and snatching lifespans in front of the Heavenly Dao! "
Two streaks of light streaked across the sky and soon arrived at Cloud Cauldron Mountain.
Cloud Cauldron Mountain was the Elf Emperor's territory.
Cloud Cauldron Mountain was now shrouded in clouds and mist, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
The guards were even stricter, and from time to time, there would be soul power sweeping everywhere.
The aura of the array was also very strong.
It was as if it was reminding everyone not to get close.
Gu Xuan and the Vermilion Bird Princess were naturally not in the category of "forbidden to get close".
As soon as the two of them arrived, the various array restrictions automatically opened up, allowing them to enter.
As soon as they landed, the two of them felt the mist in front of them disappear.
The scene that was originally shrouded in clouds and mist had disappeared.
What replaced it was a clear scene.
Lush towering trees covered the entire Cloud Cauldron Mountain.
At the highest point of Cloud Cauldron Mountain, a divine tree surrounded by Daoist Rhymes stood proudly. It was covered in multicolored light, as if it was the king of the entire Cloud Cauldron Mountain!
On the tree, there were many fruits, emitting a mysterious and tempting aura.
Around the divine tree, there were tree men patrolling with great vigilance.
Among the tree men, there were a dozen dragons circling around. They were also looking around vigilantly, as if they were unwilling to relax for a moment.
"The Bodhi Tree actually bears so many fruits.
Moreover, each of them is already the size of a fist.
They are probably on the verge of ripening, right?
This speed is too fast! "Gu Xuan couldn't help but fly toward the Bodhi Tree.
