Chapter 189 - 162 Vermilion Bird White Tiger
CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 162 VERMILION BIRD WHITE TIGER
This little Vermilion Bird, her Spiritual Wisdom still in Chaos, did not realize that her mother had made a significant choice for her life.
Upon learning the origins of this Vermilion Bird, Chen Jiuge felt somewhat nervous, even though he knew the Golden Finger had never failed before.
The little Vermilion Bird’s Bloodline was very pure, containing only Vermilion Bird Bloodline. But why was this Vermilion Bird Bloodline divided into two types? Chen Jiuge didn’t understand and voiced this question.
Hearing this, Zhu Fengtian had a sudden realization. "That explains why her Spiritual Wisdom is still in Chaos. It’s because of the influence of my Origin."
The little Vermilion Bird’s main Bloodline was inferior to the other Vermilion Bird Bloodline, which Chen Jiuge found troublesome. He had never encountered this situation before and didn’t dare to handle it directly, so he could only explain the problem to Zhu Fengtian.
"Let it go. If it really is due to my Origin and we don’t resolve it, this child will become my puppet." Zhu Fengtian understood the seriousness of the issue and knew she couldn’t delay. Wasting even a moment increased the likelihood of the little Vermilion Bird becoming her puppet.
Due to the significant disparity in their Bloodline powers, Chen Jiuge had to extract almost all of one Bloodline. He left only a tiny bit behind for the other to devour. However, there wasn’t just a significant difference in the amount of the two Bloodlines; their quality also differed greatly. This made the devouring speed agonizingly slow.
Still, as long as it can devour, that’s good. The little Vermilion Bird’s cultivation is only at the Nascent Soul stage, so I’m not tired. It’ll just take a bit more time, he thought.
"It’s been three days. You’re just too impulsive," Jin Xiaotian said reproachfully. Although the four Clan Leaders often bickered, the relationship between the Four Holy Beasts was very close.
"Enough, you old tiger, hold your tongue," Xuan Shengtian said. He had returned a day ago after learning of the situation.
"Don’t worry, I still have an Undying Feather. Even if it fails, she can be reborn from the ashes," Ao Hai said, looking so distressed he could hardly breathe.
"Damn, you old dragon, you still have an Undying Feather? Why didn’t you say so earlier, scaring us to death?" Jin Xiaotian exclaimed, dissatisfied.
Upon hearing that Ao Hai had an Undying Feather, Zhu Fengtian also breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Brother Ao."
"No problem, we’re all brothers and sisters. Sister Fengtian’s problem is my problem too," Ao Hai said grandly, though his trembling hands seemed out of place.
Chen Jiuge was unaware of the emotions of the four great figures outside. As he watched the Bloodline being almost fully devoured, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. This has taken quite a while, he thought. I wonder how I’ll deal with the accumulating Spiritual Beasts and the Flood Dragons from the Hundred Dragon Pond. Have the masters of those Spiritual Beasts caused any trouble?
No one had caused trouble, but quite a few had wanted an explanation. However, the hot-tempered Jin Xiaotian had simply thrown them out.
"Done, let’s wrap it up," Chen Jiuge said with a relieved smile as he finished his work.
Giant black and red flames burst from the little Vermilion Bird’s body. Jin Xiaotian, thinking it was a failure, yelled, "Old Dragon, bring out the Undying Feather!"
"Why the hell should I? This is a success, and not just an ordinary one!" Ao Hai said, looking enviously at Zhu Fengtian. It’s all because my own unworthy son doesn’t appreciate a proper Azure Dragon and only likes those motley Spiritual Beasts. It’s been a long time since an Azure Dragon meeting the Bloodline standard has been born in our clan.
"This is an Undying Bird. Read more when you have time," Xuan Shengtian said, patting Jin Xiaotian on the shoulder.
As the black and red flames slowly receded, the Undying Bird appeared before everyone.
"An Undying Bird... To think I would see a newborn Undying Bird in my lifetime," Xuan Shengtian said, somewhat melancholically.
The Undying Bird was the only mutation between the Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird. This meant the Undying Bird would only appear among the Phoenix and Vermilion Bird Clans. However, in this era, the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Holy Beasts, had no recorded Undying Bird appearances; they were only documented in ancient times. That was why Xuan Shengtian had earlier stated that the Holy Beasts had no Mutant Spiritual Beasts.
"Holy cow, it really is an Undying Bird! Then... then can my White Tiger also mutate?" Jin Xiaotian said excitedly.
"The mutation of the Vermilion Bird into an Undying Bird has precedents to follow, but your White Tiger Clan doesn’t have any mutation records," Xuan Shengtian promptly doused his excitement with cold water.
"What if it does?" Jin Xiaotian remained thrilled.
Zhu Fengtian ignored the other three, staring intensely at the Undying Bird reborn from the ashes, her eyes sparkling.
Damn, this is an Immortal Daluo Golden Immortal! She’s not going to cry, is she? That would be too over-the-top, Chen Jiuge thought, somewhat fearfully.
Fortunately, although Zhu Fengtian was very moved, she didn’t cry. After all, she was a great figure.
Cradling the Undying Bird, Zhu Fengtian cast a Protective Technique on Chen Jiuge. She then expressed that she owed him a favor and, as long as it was within her power, she would help.
Seeing Zhu Fengtian swear a Great Dao Oath, Chen Jiuge knew he had hit the jackpot. This is an Undying Gold Token! he thought.
A favor from an Immortal Daluo Golden Immortal! Although it won’t let me run rampant in the Heavenly Realm, not many people will dare to offend me now, right? he mused. He then touched the Vermilion Bird mark on his forehead and broke into a wide, foolish grin. I’ve struck it rich!
"Hey, kid, stop your silly grinning. It’s my turn," Jin Xiaotian said with some disdain, rousing Chen Jiuge who was still lost in his own world.
"Ah, right, Ancestor, let’s get started then." Chen Jiuge then remembered he still had the White Tiger Clan to deal with.
After the Undying Bird’s appearance, the Clan Leaders of the other three clans became significantly more interested in the upcoming events concerning the White Tiger Clan. They all sat at the stone table, ready to enjoy the show.
