Chapter 205 - Vermillion Bird Glazed Body
Chapter 205 Vermillion Bird Glazed Body
What Su Wen saw was a vermilion bird soaring through the heavens!
This was the first time Su Wen had seen a real Vermilion Bird. No words could describe its beauty. The wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun. Flames flowed for thousands of miles as it grandly flapped its wings In the vast and ethereal galaxy, it was as though a great sun was suddenly born, shining brightly with golden light. Multicolored glass shards could be seen floating around him. As he flapped his wings, flames spread across heaven and earth. In Su Wen’s eyes, the Pupils of the Vermilion Bird had already manifested. Holy flames rose in his eyes as he basked in the beauty of the divine beast.
He felt as if his body was burning. It was a response from his bloodline. Another Vermilion Bird’s cry resounded through the heavens and the earth. Su Wen looked at its majesty longingly. Right at this moment, a faint holy flame began to light up in his left eye. He had no intention of comprehending the technique at all. He only wanted to soar through the sky with the Vermilion Bird. However, on the outside, something shocking happened! When Su Wen fell into a state of enlightenment, the remaining two meters of flames were instantly extinguished! Immediately afterward, a terrifying thing happened. The closed eyes of the Flame God Dao Ancestor statue actually slowly opened, and the fire elemental energy of the world began to wildly gather within it! However, this was not enough. The True Qi of everyone in the Flame God Sect was actually pulled out of their bodies! It was as if the pressure of a god had descended.
The statue slowly lowered to look at Su Wen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His eyes flashed with kindness and warmth…
BAM!
Everyone knelt on the ground! This even included the Heaven Rank experts. There was no ability to resist at all. The power of tens of thousands of people gathered on the statue, and the flames were reignited. Dongfang Ju’s eyes widened in fear. This was too terrifying! This was something that had never happened before. The image of the Flame God had actually manifested? He could only use this word to describe their current scene. Other than that, he did not know how else to describe the situation before him. In the illusion, Su Wen’s eyes lit up with holy flames. In the next second, his feet left the ground and a pair of huge wings made of Holy Flames appeared on his back. Fly!
Fly up!
In the multicolored light, Su Wen spread his wings and soared into the starry sky. His eyes began to burn, and his wings began to burn. Holy flames gradually spread throughout his body, and his body also started to burn. However, he did not feel any pain. Exuviate!
Transcend!
Even Su Wen did not know how to describe his current self. It was as if he had transformed into the heavens and earth itself and flew away.
This had already surpassed the scope of martial arts.
His consciousness gradually merged with heaven and earth.
At this moment, Su Wen was no longer human. It was as if he had transformed into the Qi, into Heaven and Earth, and everything could be sensed by his spirit. The mercilessness of the world flowed in his heart.
Life!
Death!
It held no meaning to him. Family, friends!
What was the point?
It was a coldness that transcended life.
Perhaps it was the result of the end point of all life.
Residing with heaven and earth, shining down like the sun and the moon.
Vast and eternal.
It was neither beautiful nor chaotic.
It was peaceful, and quiet. This moment seemed eternal… At this moment in the outside world, Su Wen’s body actually started to slowly dissipate in everyone’s eyes…
Little by little, they turned into golden Holy Flames that slowly scattered.
Everyone was so shocked that they didn’t know what to do…
What was the outcome? Perish? Eternity? Epiphany? Transcendence? No one knew. From his limbs, Su Wen gradually dissipated. There was not even a drop of blood or a piece of flesh, only a dazzling golden light. It was a power that surpassed everyone’s understanding Someone wanted to praise him, but realized that he could not even make a sound.
All the living beings in the Flame God Sect had rendered immobile, as though frozen in time.
Unable to move or make a sound apart from maintaining consciousness. Only Su Wen was the exception, slowly dissipating “Daddy!” Suddenly, a crisp cry sounded. Little Su Su’s voice seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.
At this moment, when everyone was unable to speak, she had actually shouted.
The moment she shouted, Su Wen who was within the illusion, suddenly felt a quiver run down his spine.
His body suddenly rematerialized. At the same time, the entire world seemed to have regained its vitality. Another clarion cry was heard, and the Vermilion Bird flew away.
At this moment, Su Wen’s body also transformed into a golden glazed flame that danced with the Vermilion Bird.
The cold moon and the cold stars shone brightly in the sky. They were like two suns that flew from the nine heavens and illuminated the heavens and the earth. The more they flew, the brighter the light became, and the raging flames warmed the world.
The Vermilion Bird rushed towards the heavens with Su Wen!
However, the light emitting from their bodies was not weak at all. Instead, it became brighter and brighter.
In the vast galaxy, there was nothing that dared to look down on them.
BAM!
The Vermilion Bird dispersed, and Su Wen woke up. His consciousness returned to reality. At this moment, the flames in the statue had already burned out.
Crack!
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, a crack appeared in the middle of the statue. The rifts slowly extended, growing in number as they covered the entire statue of the Flame God.
“Within a millennium, the statue will not be activated.”
A voice that came out of nowhere made everyone on scene fall into despair. At this moment, everyone regained their mobility! However, their True Qi had already been completely depleted. [Ding-dong, unlocked the Embodiment ability for Vermilion Bird of the South. Current progress: 0.1%.] [Ding-dong. The host has learned the body-tempering cultivation technique, Vermilion Bird Glazed Body.]
Su Wen did not have the time to check and instead turned to look at Su Su.
Just as his mortal shed was about to dissipate, Su Su’s shout woke him up.
Although he did not know what he would become if he continued like this… However, after coming back from that emotionless state of being one with the world, Su Wen still preferred the feeling of being a human.
There were feelings, family and friends, as well as a daughter… He glanced at Wu Yuehan… Hmm, and martial friends! Su Wen suddenly discovered that his cultivation base had unknowingly increased to 9th Grade Earth Rank! He rubbed his chin. It was time to get some Emotional Value.
But with a shock, he noticed that his Emotional Value was also rising rapidly!
Everyone who saw that scene was already incomparably shocked! Those who had experienced the draining of True Qi were incomparably terrified.
Even a Heaven Rank expert had to provide him with Emotional Value this time.
These Emotional Value points were all recognized and allocated to Su Wen by the system.
Su Wen looked at his system and was slightly shocked. Good lord, 1.8 million points.
After all, he was unaware what had happened outside.
It was also unfortunate that the sect only had tens of thousands of people. If they had more people, his Emotional Value would have skyrocketed. At this moment, everyone recovered from their strange paralysis. Everyone looked at Su Wen with lingering fear as Little Su Su ran over.
She leapt into Su Wen’s arms.
“Daddy!” Little Su was very happy. She was frightened by Su Wen’s state just now. It was also thanks to the Vermillion Bird bloodline in her body that she had the ability to resist that pressure.
Otherwise, she would not be able to scream out.
At this moment, Dongfang Ju looked at everyone and said, “Everyone, you must sign the Spirit Language contract. What happened today is strictly prohibited from being spread. This matter is confidential to the sect!”
Of course, he was only talking about the ordinary disciples. As for the elders, there was no need. After saying that, he looked at Su Wen with a complicated expression. “Go back and rest.”
Four Heaven Rank experts sat in the main hall of the Flame God Sect.
There was also a group of elders. At this moment, Dongfang Ju had already explained what had transpired throughout the comprehension process. “Elders, what do you think we should do for Su Daqiang?” He was mainly asking the Heaven Rank elders. Shi Yu closed his eyes and said, “I didn’t expect this kid to be able to cause such terrifying consequences. What did he comprehend? To be able to shatter the Flame God Statue and prevent it from being used for a thousand years?” Dongfang Ju said with a bitter smile, “Who knows? The comprehension inside the divine statue of Dao Ancestor innately contains the Spirit Language Secret Technique. Even if he dies, he can only bring it into the coffin! There’s no way to know what he has comprehended!” “What did he comprehend?” Elder Zhao frowned. “Normally speaking, a Paragon Rank technique would only exhaust the energy of the statue. If you look at him, did he seem to have comprehended something further?” “That statue didn’t lack energy. It absorbed the True Qi in our bodies, as well as the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. It was definitely filled with energy, but it was still completely consumed by that Su Daqiang! It even caused the statue to shatter. It can be seen that what it comprehended was something above the Paragon Rank.”
At this moment, an expressionless Heaven Rank elder sitting in the middle spoke. “Enough! What he comprehended is not important at all! What’s important is how to make him feel a sense of belonging to the sect!” He said in a low voice, “No matter what he comprehended, this thing is no small matter. As long as he can have a sense of belonging to our sect and serve it, this is a great thing.” Everyone looked at each other in dismay. How long had Su Wen been in the sect for? What sense of belonging could he have? It was the hardest to nurture someone’s loyalty. At this moment, Wu Yuehan spoke. She said in a low voice, “I have a humble opinion to share.” The expressionless Heaven Rank elder glanced at her and spat out, “Speak!” Wu Yuehan swallowed her saliva and mustered her courage to say her thoughts. “Pass the Sect Master position to Su Daqiang and let Su Su become the Holy Maiden of the sect…”
“Eh?”
Everyone immediately understood what she meant.
I’ll let you be the boss! You can’t betray yourself, right?
At that moment, Jiang Ye said, “This move is indeed safe, but the problem is that Su Daqiang’s prestige among the disciples is somewhat lacking. He has just entered the sect. If he is directly made Sect Master, not only will the disciples not be able to accept it, even the other sect masters will also suspect him.” Dongfang Ju pondered for a moment and said, “In my opinion, Su Daqiang being the sect master is not reliable.” “Why?” Wu Yuehan was a little unconvinced. Dongfang Ju said in a low voice, “This person is already at the 9th Grade Earth Rank. I don’t know what he comprehended from the Dao Ancestor’s statue, but he might become a Heaven Rank expert in a few years. How can he be the sect master?”
“In my opinion, we can just make Su Su a Saintess. Furthermore, we can showcase Su Daqiang’s strength. In the future, as long as Su Su’s cultivation has reached a certain level, she will be the Sect Master of our Flame God Sect. That Su Daqiang dotes on Su Su very much, and we can nurture Su Su’s sense of belonging to the sect from a young age. If Su Su becomes the Sect Master, wouldn’t it be better than Su Daqiang becoming the Sect Master?” “After all, the thing that Su Su comprehended is only a step away from the Paragon Rank! It can be seen that her talent is extremely terrifying as well!”
Speaking up to this point, Dongfang Ju sighed, “This Su Daqiang’s bloodline talent is so strong that it’s rare in this world. Furthermore, it’s compatible with the attributes of my Flame God Sect. If he has a few more children, my Flame God Sect will definitely prosper!”
Wu Yuehan smiled secretly and gently rubbed her abdomen.
In a few days, it might be obvious…
Finally, the Heaven Rank elder concluded in a solemn voice, “Let’s do it!” “In addition, I think we can take the opportunity to send Su Daqiang away!” Dongfang Ju said, “Su Su is by Su Daqiang’s side, so it’s not easy for us to nurture Su Su’s sense of belonging to the sect. It just so happens that the Eldest Princess is here to ask for reinforcements. We can lend Su Daqiang to her, and then we can nurture Su Su in the sect.
In a few years, Su Su will naturally have a deeper relationship with us! No matter what Su Daqiang thinks, children are always more innocent. As long as Su Su is on our side and she is the future Sect Master, would we be afraid of not being able to win against Su Daqiang?” “Alright! Let’s do that!” The group of elders dispersed. At this moment, Su Wen was looking at the system in his room. Host: Su Wen
Emotional Value: 1.92 million points
Level: 31
Cultivation: 9th Grade Earth Rank Cultivation Technique: Heaven & Earth Great Solar Sutra
Body Tempering Cultivation Technique: Vermillion Bird Glazed Body
Battle Technique: Jadebreak Fist (LV9) Layered Wave Saber (LV9) Stellar Transposition (LV3) Great Solar Supreme Policy (LV2) Roaming Dragon Wind Sword (LV1)
Bloodline: Vermilion Bird
Special Skill: Embodiment of the Vermillion Bird (Completion Rate: 0.1%) (Currently able to transform into a young Vermillion Bird, time limit: 3 seconds) Su Wen looked at his newly awakened Embodiment of the Vermilion Bird and was a little speechless. This completion rate was too low. Furthermore, he could only transform into a young bird for three seconds. He had really become a one pump chump. As for the original 1.8 million points… It was unknown if it was because many people still had lingering fears, or because there were too many people from the Great Zhou cursing him. It grew another 120,000.
However, he tried and realized that his Emotional Value could not increase the completion level of the Embodiment of the Vermilion Bird. Su Wen did not know how it worked, so he had to figure it out himself.
However, on the technique section, there was a new body tempering technique section. The Vermillion Bird Glazed Body was a body-tempering cultivation technique. The original Body Refinement Art was just a pile of shit in front of this technique. Yes, it could indeed be described as a pile of shit.
“What level is this Vermilion Bird Glazed Body cultivation technique?” Su Wen couldn’t help but ask. The system fell silent and did not give an answer.
It was unknown if it did not know or if it simply did not want to tell Su Wen. However, the introduction of body tempering technique explained that it used the Holy Vermilion Flame to strengthen the body from the inside out. Su Wen was watching when the Gu cocoon in Su Wen’s body suddenly broke. Kacha, kacha. A palm-sized woman dressed in red with two pairs of blood-red butterfly wings on her back appeared. From her figure to looks, she could be said to be otherworldly!
But at this size… It was hard to describe in words.
She crawled out of Su Wen’s body and sat on his shoulder with a smile. “Master! I’m awake!”
Su Wen raised his eyebrows. She knew how to speak?
“What use are you to me?” Su Wen asked directly. After all, in Su Wen’s opinion, if this thing was useless after waiting for it for so long, he would smash it to death! As if sensing Su Wen’s thoughts, she muttered, “I can attach myself to my master and become an armor and weapon…” “That’s it?” Su Wen was very dissatisfied. “I’m much more powerful than those spirit artifacts!” The little thing said unhappily. “Are you still going to live in my body?” “Yes, yes!” “Absorb the Qi in my body?”
“Yes…”
“Can you still strengthen True Qi?” “I can…”
Su Wen looked at her and asked curiously, “You can see what I usually do?” “I can sort of sense and feel…”
“Do you know how to suck?”
The little thing’s eyes widened with fear…
Su Wen sighed. Although he did not know how effective this thing was, it was at least better than nothing “Come in, you’ll be called Die Yi from now on! Don’t run around if you have nothing to do.” The little butterfly obediently crawled into Su Wen’s body.
Su Wen then looked at his Emotional Value.
He had two choices now. He could save his Emotional Value to upgrade the Great Solar Supreme Policy, or he could continue to upgrade Stellar Transposition. After pondering for a moment, Su Wen decided to upgrade Stellar Transposition first because he still planned to use the Time Freeze Card to cultivate right after. This was especially so for the Vermillion Bird Glazed Body. As for how strong this body tempering technique was, he would only know after practicing it. The problem was that Su Wen could not find a place to hide and cultivate continuously. Otherwise, if he returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty in a few years and found it exterminated, wouldn’t it be extremely awkward? [Ding-dong. The host’s Stellar Transposition has been upgraded to Lv5. 20 Star Points are available to be unlocked. Emotional Value consumption: 300,000.] Immediately after, Su Wen spent another 20,000 Emotional Value points to condense the Star Points.
Su Wen then exchanged for the Time Freeze Card and entered the gravity training room to train!
The Vermilion Bird Glazed Body was no ordinary Body Tempering Art. Su Wen could feel the difference this time.
In a year, Su Wen’s physical body had undergone a tremendous improvement. Furthermore, he could clearly sense that this was not the limit.
To put it simply, a good body-tempering cultivation technique served to continuously increase the upper limit of the cultivator.
The original Body Refinement Art was only a wooden barrel, so even if Su Wen trained to the limits, it would still be limited to being within a wooden barrel.
However, now that Su Wen had the Vermilion Bird Glazed Body, his upper limit was rapidly rising! On the other hand, his physical strengthening training was akin to pouring water into the container to maximize Su Wen’s strength. This became a perfect cycle! One card? Not enough! Su Wen exchanged for two more! In the system space, he practiced for another three years. It could only be said that Su Wen’s body tempering cultivation technique was too far inferior to the Vermilion Bird Glazed Body!
He continuously strengthened and cultivated. The remaining Emotional Value was used by Su Wen to train with the system! From the third year onwards, the system’s sparring partner was gradually no longer a match for Su Wen, who had cultivated the Vermillion Bird Glazed Body to a large extent. However, Su Wen soon realized that the system seemed to have been upgraded. The sparring partner’s strength also increased continuously, ensuring that Su Wen would always have a challenge! Cultivate, fight, and cultivate. Su Wen could sense that his strength was constantly increasing and had even reached the peak of the 9th Grade!
However, he had no idea how to break through to the Heaven Rank.
“Huuu!”
Su Wen exhaled lightly and frowned. What was the method to break through to Heaven Rank?
This was the first time Su Wen encountered a bottleneck!
All along, his cultivation had been smooth sailing, but this time, Su Wen really encountered a bottleneck.
He had no clue at all how to proceed further.
After exiting the system cultivation, only a moment had passed in reality.
Su Wen started the lottery draw again!
(Ding-dong. The host has drawn a full set of Sona Buvelle’s dresses…]
Su Wen sneered. Hehe. Am I that kind of person?
(Ding-dong. The host has drawn a full set of Annie’s dresses.]
(TL Note: Author really loves his LOL references.)
Alright, just give it all to Little Su Su.
(Ding-dong. The host has drawn a City Return Door. You can fix the coordinates at any location and return to your bedroom in the capital of Great Zhou, traveling back and forth. The host is limited to using it alone!]
This thing was good! Su Wen was overjoyed!
Once he had the information, it would be much easier to send it back.
Moreover, if he had nothing to do, he could even go home and recite Journey to the West to his wives promote traditional culture.
