Gu鈥檚 Immortal Firmament:
Jingwei cried for her Uncle Flame Monarch. When Gu Hai waved, he pulled in the translucent phoenix deity and the vast flames into the immortal firmament.
鈥淯ncle Flame Monarch! Uncle Flame Monarch! How are you?! How are you?!鈥?Jingwei rushed over.
Coo!
With a shrill cry, that phoenix deity quickly gathered the surrounding flames. Without a physical body to reside in, it would scatter as well.
鈥淛ingwei, I am the phoenix deity. Don鈥檛 blame yourself. The Flame Monarch was already thinking about dying. The earlier self-detonation was a release,鈥?the phoenix deity called out.
鈥淲hat? That鈥檚 impossible!鈥?Jingwei said in shock.
鈥淵ou might not know, but I am the phoenix deity. I have all of the Flame Monarch鈥檚 memories, so I am very sure. After returning from eight hundred thousand years in the past, he was like a walking corpse. Hah! Murong Yan was truly a woman who brought disaster to nations. The Flame Monarch regretted not remaining behind to fight Six Paths like Jiang Lianshan did. Your father is a hero, willing to die to defeat the enemy!鈥?the phoenix deity said.
鈥淗owever, my eminent father has everything he established worldwide. Why did he use the most stupid way鈥︹€?Jingwei cried.
鈥淭here is no stupid or not, only whether it was worth it or not. To you, the world is the most important. Perhaps Jiang Lianshan previously thought the same. However, he discovered that the world was not as important as Murong Yan in the end. He wanted to control the world and oppose Heaven. However, since he could fight the Six Paths Veritable Lord, who had not become the immortal yet, on an even footing back then, there was no need to return,鈥?the phoenix deity explained.
鈥淭hen why did Uncle Flame Monarch die?鈥?Jingwei cried.
鈥淭he Flame Monarch had regrets; he regretted not remaining with Jiang Lianshan. His loyalty to you was out of gratitude to Jiang Lianshan. He lived with thoughts of Murong Yan day and night. Hah鈥e gained release now. However, the phoenix race鈥?鈥?the phoenix deity said bitterly.
鈥淗e gained release?鈥?Jingwei echoed with bloodshot eyes.
鈥淏efore he died, he wanted me to enter your body to help you form your seventh physical soul,鈥?the phoenix deity explained.
鈥淪eventh physical soul?鈥?
鈥淭hat鈥檚 right. The so-called deity that the shaman race cultivated was the seventh physical soul. It is hidden in the forehead. Regular people find it extremely hard to cultivate the seventh physical soul. The animal spirits have deities, but the humans only have themselves. Finding one person who has manifested their seventh physical soul out of trillions of people would be hard. However, animal spirits can take the animal spirit deity as their seventh physical soul. I鈥檒l help you. This is the Flame Monarch鈥檚 final wish. I hope you will treat the phoenix race well in the future,鈥?the phoenix deity said.
鈥淏ut鈥斺€?
鈥淓ven if you do not refine me, I will scatter soon. Hurry! Hurry! Relax your mind and let me in. This is the simplest method of divine cultivation. Jiang Lianshan should have taught it to you before. Quickly work with me!鈥?the phoenix deity exhorted.
Coo!
The phoenix deity let out a cry and flapped its wings as it rushed towards Jingwei鈥檚 forehead.
Boom!
The vast flames and phoenix deity vanished into Jingwei鈥檚 forehead.
鈥淎rgh!鈥?
Jingwei suddenly held her head in pain as intense flames encased her.
However, Lin Waner鈥檚 physical body had the fire cauldron physique. This flame could not burn her; it just felt somewhat unbearable when the forehead space was established.
鈥淪omething鈥檚 not right. Jingwei, what鈥檚 going on with your soul body? It鈥檚 full of lifeforce? That should not be the case. Ah! The Southern Bright Li Flame?!鈥?The phoenix deity let out a startled cry in the forehead space.
鈥淟in Waner, don鈥檛 burn the phoenix deity!鈥?Jingwei鈥檚 expression suddenly changed.
鈥淚 can鈥檛! I can鈥檛 control it. The Southern Bright Li Flame is rushing over on its own. I can鈥檛 control it. The Southern Bright Li Flame is trying to consume the phoenix deity?鈥?Lin Waner鈥檚 voice suddenly rang out from her body.
鈥淎rgh!鈥?The phoenix deity let out a miserable cry.
Buzz!
Then, the voice stopped.
Jingwei鈥檚 consciousness entered the newly opened forehead space.
The phoenix deity had vanished, consumed by the Southern Bright Li Flame. The Southern Bright Li Flame seemed to have received boundless nourishment, suddenly growing several times larger. However, the surging Southern Bright Li Flame had a small egg in the center.
鈥淭his is?鈥?Jingwei exclaimed.
Crack!
A crack suddenly appeared in the egg.
Whoosh!
All the surrounding Southern Bright Li Flame entered the crack, along with all the intense flame around Jingwei鈥檚 body.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
More cracks appeared in the small egg.
Boom!
The eggshell exploded, and a fiery-red translucent figure appeared inside.
Buzz!
The fiery-red figure sucked in all the eggshell shards in one breath.
Coo! the fiery-red figure cried out.
Boom!
Boundless flames suddenly appeared in the forehead space.
Intense flames surrounded the red figure, but that figure looked like a small, red sparrow.
鈥淎 sparrow?鈥?Lin Waner said in shock.
Jingwei鈥檚 voice quavered as she cried out, 鈥淣o, that鈥檚 not right. It鈥檚 a vermilion bird!鈥?
鈥淲hat vermilion bird?鈥?
鈥淚 understand now! I understand! The fire cauldron physique as a cauldron, the Southern Bright Li Flame as a primer, and the phoenix deity as the ingredient. We鈥e concocted a vermilion bird deity! The legendary, extinct vermilion bird?鈥?Jingwei exclaimed.
鈥淰ermilion bird deity? What do you mean?鈥?Lin Waner asked in shock.
鈥淚s this Uncle Flame Monarch鈥檚 blessings or my eminent father鈥檚 scheme? Rather, we created epic history because of the coincidence that is you? Divine cultivation? Lin Waner, cultivate with me and raise this vermilion bird deity. In the future, we will be the vermilion bird, the strongest animal spirit deity, also the strongest shaman!鈥?Jingwei yelled with a malevolent expression.
------
Outside:
Di Shitian intended to attack Gu Hai from behind. Unexpectedly, a fist came out of the cracks below and pierced through his chest. Furthermore, that fist held a nearly crushed Lifespan Dongfang.
The sudden change made everyone fighting freeze.
Surging black energy poured out of the cracks and soared up. Suddenly, the entire world became dyed black.
As this demonic aura spread out, the Future Buddha raised his guard as though facing a great enemy.
鈥淲ho鈥ho is it?鈥?The Scarlet Emperor鈥檚 expression changed dramatically.
The billowing black energy had brought something terrifying to mind.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out, and the crack exploded, revealing an incredibly pitch-dark and deep cave. Then, a giant figure crawled out.
This giant was ten meters tall, completely pitch-black, and had a bronze head with a distinct metal forehead. He looked extremely boorish and evil with a malevolent expression. This was the person who crushed Lifespan Dongfang and punched through Di Shitian.
鈥淓xplode!鈥?the giant shouted ferociously.
鈥淒on鈥檛!鈥?Di Shitian roared with horror on his face.
Roar!
Di Shitian instantly turned into a large dragon.
Boom!
An immense force from the giant鈥檚 fist blasted a large hole in the dragon鈥檚 abdomen. Blood sprayed everywhere.
Whoosh!
Di Shitian returned to human form, clutching his abdomen as he slumped over, gazing at the ferocious giant with a horrified expression.
鈥淗an Nation鈥檚 Gu Hai. Many thanks for your help!鈥?Gu Hai said gravely.
鈥淧fft!鈥?the giant scoffed, ignoring Gu Hai.
鈥淭his is impossible! You! Ahqi! Ahqi, all of you died long ago! You have died long ago!鈥?the Scarlet Emperor exclaimed, his eyes wide with horror.
Boom!
Then, many more pitch-black giants climbed out of that abyss, one after another, all fiends with malevolent faces.
As these giants climbed out, a shocking demonic aura surged, even forming demonic clouds in the sky.
Roar!
This novel is available on freewebnovel.com.
The demonic clouds howled, and the world turned dark.
The Future Buddha, Di Shitian, and the Scarlet Emperor stepped forward to leave.
Seeing this, the three only had one thought. Run!
鈥淗old up!鈥?
Suddenly, three giants blocked those three, staring at the three with malevolent expressions and preventing them from escaping.
More giants came out. Now, the world was already completely black.
Gu Hai also showed an unsightly expression. What strong pressure! Why are these giants鈥?cultivations so strong?
Who is the person who addressed himself as 鈥渨e鈥?
As time passed, a total of eighty-one giants climbed out of the abyss.
When all the giants were out, they suddenly dropped to one knee, facing the entrance to the abyss.
Finally, a white-clad man flew out slowly.
This man was different from the giants. He looked extraordinarily pure and clean. However, he strangely seemed one with the black energy in the surroundings, presenting an incredibly curious scene.
鈥淣o, no, no! How can you still be alive?鈥?The Scarlet Emperor showed a shocked and horrified expression.
鈥淐hiyou?鈥?High in the sky, Sect Master Heavenly Access also narrowed his eyes.
鈥淐hiyou?鈥?Di Shitian shivered.
[TL Note: Chiyou was the legendary leader of the Nine Li Tribes. Here is the Wikipedia entry on him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiyou.]
Even Gu Hai鈥檚 expression changed. However, it was not due to hearing Chiyou鈥檚 name but Chiyou鈥檚 appearance.
Too similar! Simply too similar!
To think Chiyou looks so similar to Jiang Lianshan?
He is just slightly younger, slightly more handsome, and slightly more scholarly.
No, their airs are different, and there are quite a lot of differences between his appearance and Jiang Lianshan鈥檚. However, he truly resembles Jiang Lianshan. This resemblance was why Gu Hai鈥檚 expression changed. He even wondered if Jiang Lianshan had reincarnated and come back to life.
鈥淏ig Brother, we are out!鈥?
鈥淏ig Brother! Hahahaha! The Huang Heavenly Emperor and the Yan Heavenly Emperor cannot seal us! Now that we are out, they can forget about running!鈥?
鈥淩evenge! Big Brother, I want revenge! It has been three thousand years! Three thousand years!鈥?
The giants roared, showing ferocious expressions as they looked at that handsome Chiyou.
However, the expressions of the Future Buddha, Di Shitian, and the Scarlet Emperor changed dramatically. Chiyou? How can this be? Why is he not dead?
However, Chiyou did not roar like these eighty-one giants. Although he had just been released, he did not show overwhelming hatred in his eyes. Instead, he looked around coldly.
When he saw Gu Hai, some appreciation flashed in his eyes. However, he turned away and surveyed the others the next moment.
鈥淪carlet Emperor? Hah! It has been a long time!鈥?Chiyou smiled grimly.
鈥淲hat do you want? Jiang Lianshan is already dead. The matter back then has nothing to do with me. I did not participate!鈥?the Scarlet Emperor yelled in horror.
鈥淛iang Lianshan died? Humph! He died? Do you think we will let it go because of that? You did not participate? We hate vile, two-faced people like you the most! Humph!鈥?Chiyou snorted coldly.
Chiyou鈥檚 snort seemed to be a signal to the giants, as the earlier Ahqi immediately charged forward.
鈥淚t had nothing to do with me! It had nothing to do with me!鈥?The Scarlet Emperor fled in horror.
鈥淭o think you want to flee from Big Brother?! Come back!鈥?Ahqi ferociously extended his hand. An enormous, black-energy-covered hand immediately grabbed the Scarlet Emperor鈥檚 left leg.
鈥淒on鈥檛! Don鈥檛!鈥?the Scarlet Emperor yelled.
However, Ahqi opened his mouth and yanked hard.
Whoosh!
Ahqi sucked the Scarlet Emperor into his mouth.
鈥淎rgh!鈥?The Scarlet Emperor鈥檚 miserable cry came from Ahqi鈥檚 mouth.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Ahqi chewed, and blood spilled from his lips. Then, he swallowed after a while.
That was the Scarlet Emperor. How could he get swallowed?
Di Shitian gaped in horror. 鈥淵ou all鈥ou all grew stronger? No! That鈥檚 impossible!鈥
