The Sacred Ruins

The Vermillion Bird abyss was very large and very deep too; they hadn't reached the bottom even after diving several kilometres down. After that, a pair of frightening eyes lit up in the darkness like and illuminated the ancient land like two golden lamps.

After that, it was as though two glaring suns soared from the pitch-black abyss and flew over at extreme speed.

That Old Vermillion Bird appeared and flew out of the abyss. It was exceptionally sharp. Even though it was normally in a feigned death state and its life force had dried up, it could still awaken in the first instances once outsiders approached its abyss.

At this moment, they were still very far away from its nest; there were more than five kilometers away. It possessed frightening perception!

"Young Vermillion Bird Friend, I have come to pay you a visit," the crippled fox sighed and said.

Chu Feng was taken aback. The Old Vermillion Bird had lived for an unknown number of years, yet in the eyes of the fox with the yellow fur, it was only a young friend. As expected, he had an extremely large background.

This was a divine bird. It had silently ascended from the bottom of the abyss and approached this place. If enemies had invaded this place, it would have already killed it!

It was covered in swelling lumps of old skin all over and only had a small amount of feathers that completely had no way of covering its body. All of the red feathers on its body had already dropped off a long time ago and one could see the degree to which it had aged.

"Senior, you've gotten old too," said the Old Vermillion Bird as it looked ahead.

The latter half of the fox with the yellow fur had completely turned to stone and was devoid of blood flow. The look in its eyes was muddy too and wasn't like how it was in those days.

"That's right. Who on earth is immortal? Even if you are a peerless individual representing the pride of the heavens and can possess the rivers and mountains spanning across millions of kilometers, you will be nothing more than loess in the end too. There will come a time where even the experts from the Yang Realm have an end to their long lives. They are alive and can live a little longer in this world only because they are normally deep in sleep to reduce the consumption of their bodies."

The fox with the yellow fur sighed. It already knew that the rest of its life was done for, especially after it had been thrown to this universe.

Chu Feng was silent to the side as he looked at the Old Vermillion Blood. This was the divine bird in the abyss that massacred the wasteland in those days, slaughtering gods and eliminating Flying Dragon Snakes. It was even older than a hundred years ago.

"Please!"

In the end, the Old Vermillion Bird spread its wings and made an inviting motion before it flew down first.

When they passed by a medicinal field along the way, the fragrance from them assailed their noses and it was so heavy that it reached the depths of a person's bones. There was the Vermillion Bird's divine medicine there. It was vivid and lifelike; it could flap its wings and could fly as well.

That was a genuine divine medicine!

This was a great medicine that was related to the Vermillion Bird Race. It had obtained the baptism of the Vermillion Bird's Blood qi across successive generations and was gradually getting richer and more powerful. It could nourish the young Vermillion Birds so that they could rapidly grow up.

It was red in colour and sparkling and translucent with a strong fragrance that assailed the nostrils. Even though it had roots, it resembled a living divine bird a lot. Two of its leaves were blazing which resembled the wings of a Vermillion Bird.

Chu Feng looked at it a few times over, but didn't dare to observe it in detail because the Old Vermillion Bird's divine senses were too sharp. It turned its head around and shot Chu Feng a glance which had an implicit look of warning when it felt his glittering gaze on the divine medicine.

The fox with the yellow fur shot Chu Feng a glance. The meaning behind it was, Can you grow up a little?

"It's a novelty, so I looked it up and down twice," Chu Feng said with a calm and collected look on his face. He simply didn't feel embarrassed. He was clearly lusting over it, yet he said he was curious about it.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind whistling could be heard. They soon reached the bottom of the abyss. There was a nest against where the stone wall caved in a certain place and was jointly built with various spirit grass and sacred wood.

This nest was very large and it was even more spacious than a normal palace.

In particular, particular attention was paid towards the quality of the materials in the nest. The Golden Silk Grass and Crimson Spirit Wood were even emitting dense energy and fluctuations of Spirit qi. It was very beneficial in containing the nourishment of the young birds.

They were said to be children, but in reality, they really weren't young anymore. A hundred years had passed and every single one of the Little Vermillion Birds who had just broken out of their shells before were bursting with life. All of them had dense Yang qi and was scarlet in colour from head to toe with golden eyes. Every single one of them was very extraordinary!

There were even more than Chu Feng imagined. There were five young Vermillion Birds in total and every single one of them were only as large as the size of a fist. Compared to before, they had actually… shrank in size!

But their true strength was very frightening.

These little fellows were actually at the perfect golden body realm!

So much so that they were about to breakthrough to the Sage realm!

"They didn't cultivate the special technique and infant divine birds simultaneously face a slow growth too, so they are only at this level at the present time," said the fox with the yellow fur.

There was another point which he didn't speak of in great detail. Gray substance had corroded this world and problems had arisen in the great orthodoxies. As such, it was very harmful to powerful species like divine birds and beasts. If not, they would be growing much faster than they were now!

"That's already very impressive!" Chu Feng nodded.

"You don't have to be modest either. If it wasn't for the fact that you fully concentrated on researching domains and if you were only focused on walking the path of evolution, you would possess extraordinary strength since this hundred years have passed," said the fox with the yellow fur.

Chu Feng felt helpless. If he were to breakthrough to the Quasi-saint realm, his physical body definitely couldn't maintain it once he returned as his Yang soul would burn it to ashes!

This was the first time the Old Vermillion Bird attentively sized Chu Feng up because he felt that this person was out of the common run for the fox with the yellow fur to evaluate him in this manner.

"Greetings to you, Senior Vermillion Bird. My name is Chu Feng and I come from what you see as a foreign realm in your eyes, but in reality it is a Yin Realm universe." Chu Feng was considerably candid as he immediately informed the Old Vermillion Bird of such matters.

After that, he ran his mouth and spoke of his purpose in coming here was because he wanted to seek out a divine medicine right away !

"Innumerable Honourable Deity! F**k!" The fox with the yellow fur had just drank a cup of tea here just now, but he immediately spat it out. Could this brat not be a little more tactful?

It had already brought him here to pay the Old Vermillion Bird a visit, yet he was freeloading on its old face by asking for a divine medicine like that!

"Senior wants to nurture him to enter the Yang Realm?" the Old Vermillion Bird enquired.

At the same time, a wisp of its true Blood qi overflowed a little because of a hint of fluctuation in its emotions. IN a split second, Chu Feng felt as though the heavens had fallen and the earth had rendered. The whole void was rumbling too and shaking intensely.

This was a god-ranked living being. It finally revealed where its point of terror was at now.

Even if it had already reached its twilight years and its Blood qi had withered away, but when a wisp leaked out just a tiny bit, it could actually cause space to cave in and the entire abyss was even trembling as a result.

This really was too terrifying. Once it locked onto an individual and suppressed it only with its might, the individual would be crushed and explode!

One could imagine that even Saints couldn't resist its might. This was an existence that could swallow the sun and moon when it opened its beak; this was a terrifying divine bird that could rip the heavens and universe apart when it stretched its claws forward.

"My apologies. I am of old age and frequently can't control my strength," the Old Vermillion Bird sighed and said with a sad expression in his eyes.

"It can't be regarded as nurturing. I am only playing an idle game of chess while I'm at it," answered the fox with the yellow fur. What he had in common with Chu Feng was that he was rather direct too.

This made Chu Feng unhappy. He had made so much noise for such a long time, yet he only received this treatment.

"Keep the divine medicine exclusive to the Vermillion Bird Race for yourself. I don't want it. If you have a surplus of the Flying Dragon Snake's divine medicine on you, you can give me a smaller portion of it." added the fox with the yellow fur.

"Sure. The Flying Dragon Snake Race has a profound background. Even though the strength their current generation possesses is disappointing, the accumulation of past dynasties has given birth to six divine medicines belonging to the Flying Dragon Snake. I want to keep five for my heirs, so I can gift the last remaining one."

The Old Vermillion Bird was very generous and gifted a stalk of divine medicine right away.

This kind of matter resembled something out of The Arabian Nights to Chu Feng. This was a divine medicine, it wasn't Chinese cabbage that was easily attainable for cheap. One stalk was sufficient to seizing a world's fortune, yet he obtained it just like that?

Moreover, the divine medicine of this land was of a much higher grade than the divine medicine from his universe. Its medicinal efficacy was more intense by a great chunk and had surging Yang qi too. They couldn't be mentioned in the same breath!

The fox with the yellow fur really liked the few young Vermillion Birds as it looked at them, but there was a sad and helpless look in his eyes too.

"I'm in a very bad state. I'm already crippled and I don't know how many years I have left. Seeing how remarkable these children are, I really can't bear it. I'll find an opportunity in a few years to see if I can make a move once more and fight to send them into the Yang Realm so that they can break away from this dreadful cage of the world."

The Old Vermillion Bird was immediately exalted when he heard this and had an excited look across his whole face. It's lifespan had dried up and it couldn't live for much longer, but he felt the most uneasy about the few Little Vermillion Birds. If he could send them into the Yang Realm, the sort of large world which was the grandest and was filled with hope, its spirits would naturally be raised and it would be filled with joy.

From its point of view, this was a land of hope!

"Many thanks to Senior!" It respectfully paid its respects to the other party.

"Chirp, chirp…" the few Little Vermillion Birds spoke up too. Their initial curiosity turned into reverence before a superior being as they paid their respects to the fox with the yellow fur together with their mother.

Bzzt!

Soon, a divine medicine that was entirely a lustrous blue colour appeared in the nest like a Flying Dragon Snake standing upright. It was vivid and lifelike and wasn't that different from the real thing. It could run and escape. If one didn't use their hands to press down on it, it would escape.

Other than that, it had roots and was similarly a lustrous blue colour. It was filled with medicinal fragrance and could float into an individual's soul light. It could practically make a person levitate and in just that moment, Chu Feng felt that he was going to levitate into the clouds and shatter the void.

Divine medicine!

Unfortunately, he didn't have a physical body. If not, the feeling would be even more distinct and there was even the possibility that he would fall down here from being intoxicated by the fragrance!

Blue specks of light rain enveloped him and made his entire being divine with the aura og a god. This was a divine medicine!

Pop!

In the end, Chu Feng sealed it up with the stone box. He really was afraid he couldn't hold himself back and swallow it in a single mouthful.

"Senior, I am willing to protect a Little Vermillion Bird. I want to see if I can bring it into the universe that I come from. If there comes a day where I can set foot in the Yang Realm, I will definitely bring it along with me," said Chu Feng in a sincere tone. He was incomparably serious and wanted to take a Little Vermillion Bird away with him.

He immediately liked this sort of fiery divine bird when he looked at it. It was the size of a fist with brightly coloured wings; it shone brightly and had large golden blinking eyes. Every single one was cuter than the other.

The Old Vermillion Bird was stunned and glanced at the fox with the yellow fur.

The fox with the yellow fur nodded and said, "This young thief has a little knack for doing things. It might not necessarily be impossible for the one that follows him to survive. You can give it a go and let him take one along with him."

The Old Vermillion Bird heard this and immediately agreed.

"Chirp, chirp…" The five Little Vermillion Birds immediately started chirping with tears in their large eyes. Regardless of who it chose, no one wanted to leave. They rubbed their heads against the Old Vermillion Bird as they were very reluctant to part with it.

In the end, the Old Vermillion Bird still chose one of its young and let it go along with Chu Feng later on!

"Chirp, chirp…" This Little Vermillion Bird immediately shed tears from his eyes. It cried out in grief and was completely filled with reluctance to part.

Even Chu Feng went soft hearted and was somewhat reluctant to take it away with him. His heart really couldn't bear to let them part like this.

"In order to survive and live on, you have to be strong… children. You

"Young man, this is a gift to you," said the old Vermillion Bird. It pointed at the cliff that was covered in numerous and tightly packed engravings.

"What is this?" Chu Feng had a strange expression on his face. After he attentively gazed at the inscriptions, he was immediately shocked. This was a breathing technique which he had learned a bit of before!

The complete edition of the Thunderous breathing technique?!

This was the most powerful and a top-notch breathing technique from the Yang realm universe. It stood side by side with the Dao Race's breathing technique and was reckoned to be the first or second best. It really was boundless and marvelous.

Yet he actually saw the densely packed characters on this cliff today. It was very perfect!

"The Buddhist Race's breathing technique is the most valuable breathing technique and is priceless!" The fox with the yellow fur even uttered a sentence like that too.
