After leaving the Dragon Clan territory, everyone's eyes fell on Yao Yan, wondering whether he should return to Heaven next, or continue his training in the Divine Beast Continent.
Yao Yan thought for a moment and said, "I plan to go to the Nine Nether Bird Tribe. Lord Long, do you know where the Nine Nether Bird Tribe is located?"
He did not see Jiuyou in the Daluo Realm. Apparently, the heroine who started Mu Chen's cheating life in the original novel had not yet been born. However, judging from the lifespan and growth process of the spirit beasts, she should have been born.
Now that we have come to the Divine Beast Continent, we can't get nothing. We might as well take the Nine Nether Bird clan back.
"The Nine Nether Bird Clan? Could it be that the Nine Nether Birds that the Emperor of Heaven mentioned are the spiritual beast clan ranked 74th in the Record of Ten Thousand Beasts?!" Venerable Dragon was stunned when he heard this, and after pondering for a while, he found the relevant information from his memory and said with some surprise.
He didn't understand why Yao Yan would be interested in a tribe of spirit beasts. Among such tribes, the strongest was only the Earth Supreme, and the upper limit had been locked. Unless someone among the descendants awakened the bloodline of the divine beast, they could break the shackles of the upper limit.
This evolutionary process is almost certain to end in death. Over tens of thousands of years, there have been only a few spiritual beasts that have been able to achieve this step.
"This should be it. I've heard of his name in Tianluo Continent. It's rumored that a direct descendant of the ancient phoenix was born in this generation of the Nine Nether Bird... Since we're here, let's go and take a look." Yao Yan said casually.
Ancient Phoenix?!
Lord Dragon was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly. He felt that Yao Yan was just hearsay. If a descendant with the blood of the ancient phoenix was really born in the Nine Nether Bird clan, then this matter would definitely shock the Divine Beast Continent, and the Phoenix clan and the other two clans would definitely be the first to take action. After all, this bloodline was extremely powerful and rare, even more precious than the real dragon and the real phoenix. Once it grew up, there was a high probability that it would become a holy product.
If this is true, there is no way the Nine Nether Bird Clan could hide it.
"Emperor of Heaven, I think this matter is most likely false. The Nine Nether Bird Clan does have the possibility of evolving into the ancient phoenix, but with their current thin bloodline, this possibility is almost zero!" Venerable Dragon judged decisively.
If a spirit beast wants to evolve into a divine beast, relying solely on its own bloodline, the difficulty is as great as rebuilding its body, and the process is not much easier than for humans to cultivate to become the Supreme Being.
"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. I have nothing to do and I don't have any goals, so it's okay to go to the Nine Nether Bird Clan." Yao Yan said softly. What he valued was not the Nine Nether Bird Clan, but the Jiuyou in the Nine Nether Bird Clan, the heroine who successfully evolved into the ancient phoenix in the original owner. There is no reason not to include such a lucky character into the Heavenly Court in advance to increase the "proportion" of the Heavenly Court in the vast world!
Upon hearing this, Venerable Long stopped trying to dissuade them. Since they were just strolling around, it didn't matter where they went.
Zhu Kun said at this moment: "In that case, let's go our separate ways... I want to venture out on my own in the Divine Beast Continent, so I'll leave Zi Yan to you!"
Yao Yan and Zi Yan looked at Zhu Kun in surprise. They obviously didn't expect Zhu Kun to choose to stay, especially the latter. Although she usually argued with Zhu Kun, she still cared about this father very much in her heart. After all, he was her only blood relative in this world.
"Tianluo Continent is not suitable for my growth!" Zhu Kun continued.
"If you encounter a life-threatening situation, crush this jade and I will be able to sense it." Yao Yan pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to condense a jade token, and then handed it to Zhu Kun, admonishing him.
Zhu Kun nodded, put the jade token in his arms, then glanced at Zi Yan, and turned into a stream of light and rushed away. He didn't say anything, because some words didn't need to be said at all. What happened to the dragon clan today made him understand that he needed to become stronger quickly. Only in this way could he protect Zi Yan.
If he wants to become stronger quickly, he needs to leave the protection of Heaven, and the Continent of Divine Beasts is obviously more suitable for his training and growth.
Zi Yan looked at the direction where Zhu Kun left with complicated eyes, and whispered to herself: "Stinky old man, you are old, but you still go out to take risks. If you get lost again this time, I don't want you anymore!"
Although she said this, her fists were clenched involuntarily. She was obviously worried about Zhu Kun, but she never expressed this emotion.
"Let's go too." Yao Yan reached out and held Zi Yan's hand, saying.
Zi Yan nodded, and then flew towards the Jiuyou Bird Clan with Yao Yan and others.
……
At the same time, in Daluo Realm.
During the time when Yao Yan was away, Lin Dong entered the Daluo Realm to practice and gain experience. During this period, he used the Daluo Yan Pool in the Daluo Realm to temper his body. On this day, with a majestic aura rising into the sky, the disciple of the Emperor of Heaven who had been in seclusion for several months came out.
As his eyes slowly opened, his pitch-black pupils were like black holes, swallowing up everything. Eight attributes of spiritual power were intertwined around his body, filled with extremely terrifying power. Faintly, one could even see the shadow of a green dragon filled with chaotic energy looming, emitting a breathtaking aura.
Compared to a few months ago, Lin Dong's strength has skyrocketed again, and astonishing spiritual power fluctuations are released with every move he makes.
There are nine supreme ranks, and there is a huge gap between each rank. An ordinary person would have to endure a lot of hard training to break through to the next rank. However, Lin Dong was able to break through successively within just a few short months. Although he had the help of the magical power of the Daluo Yanchi, his ability was still amazing.
Mandala stood in the void. She was dressed in a black robe and looked like an adult. She radiated an incomparably powerful spiritual power that made people dare not look directly at her. She looked at Lin Dong who had completed the breakthrough and thought to herself: No wonder he was accepted as a disciple by such a being. His talent is truly amazing.
Not long after Lin Dong’s breakthrough, Xiao Yan and Xiao Diao also completed their breakthroughs and emerged from the water one after another. Their strength was weaker than Lin Dong’s, but looking at the entire Northern Territory, they could be called geniuses.
"Congratulations, you all succeeded in breaking through." Mandala looked at the three people, her hoarse voice sounded faintly, her eyes were calm. The three people's talents were amazing, but it was not enough to move her. After all, in this vast world, if you are not a supreme being, you are just an ant.
She understood this truth clearly on the day when the ancient heaven was destroyed.
There was a pause.
She continued, "With your current strength, you are qualified to participate in the next Dragon and Phoenix Competition, but you are only qualified... If you want to get a good ranking, your current strength is far from enough!"
“Whether it’s enough or not, we’ll know after a fight!” Lin Dong looked at Mandala and said calmly. Although he is only an eighth-grade supreme being now, with the means he possesses, he is confident that he can fight with even a strong man who is half a step away from becoming an earth supreme being.
“I don’t know what the Emperor of Heaven taught you, but there is one thing I hope you can remember. Don’t be careless when facing any enemy. The geniuses of the Great Thousand World are not comparable to those of the lower planes. You have just ascended from the lower planes and are still unfamiliar with the means of the Great Thousand World. You will fall into its trap if you are not careful.” Mandala said calmly.
"Come with me!"
She threw down a sentence and turned to walk towards the Sutra Library. The three brothers looked at each other and followed, but secretly used a secret method known only to them to communicate. Xiao Diao smiled and said, "It's nice to be under a big tree... The resources in this world are indeed not comparable to those in the lower planes."
When he was in the lower plane, he practiced hard for nearly ten years before his strength could barely reach the fourth-grade supreme realm. But now, with the help of the power of the Flame Pool, his strength has reached the sixth grade in just a few months. The gap between the two can be imagined.
Most importantly, he also heard that there was a golden pool with better effects in Daluo Tianyu, which had a strong effect even on the Earth Supreme, and could even help people break through to the Earth Supreme.
How can it not make people excited.
“The resources are not given to us for free. If Long Fengtian doesn’t get good grades next time, I won’t be able to explain to the teacher!” Lin Dong glanced at the little mink beside him and reminded him. He is not the kind of ungrateful person who only eats and does not work. The resources consumed in this trip will naturally be compensated double in the future, otherwise how can he be worthy of the teacher’s cultivation.
There are so many people watching in Heaven. Not to mention Heaven, there are dozens of supreme beings in Daluo Realm alone who are eyeing these resources. If they don't get good results, these resources will no longer belong to them in the future.
Even if his teacher is the Emperor of Heaven.
"Don't worry, Master Diao knows everything about this matter!" Little Diao responded with a playful smile on his face.
Xiao Yan remained silent, just following silently beside big brother Lin Dong. As the opponent's number one henchman, he would chop anyone he saw as long as big brother gave the order.
Soon, they arrived at the Sutra Library of Daluo Realm, which contained many magical arts and spiritual secrets, all of which were snatched back by Mandala during his battles against various forces over the years. However, they did not come here for these.
“These are the geniuses who are currently in the limelight in the Northern Realm. They should not pose any threat to you… However, the number of geniuses who will come to Longfengtian this time will definitely be far more than in the past. Even the Tianluo Alliance will send their direct disciples to participate. It is them that you need to be careful of. After all, their teacher is very likely to be a true Heavenly Supreme!” Mandala threw the jade slip containing the news to Lin Dong and reminded him.
"Longfengtian is extremely special. There are very strong restrictions on that place, and even the Earth Supreme cannot set foot there. If you are defeated and killed, you can only blame yourself for your incompetence!"
“Has anyone from Daluo Realm participated in Dragon and Phoenix Heaven in previous years?” Lin Dong asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, he died as soon as he entered." Mandala's voice was stiff. It was obvious that this matter made her feel a little bothered. It's not that she didn't want to cultivate a genius to become famous, but she hated that her subordinates were incompetent and none of them could compare with those of other forces.
"Are your grades so bad?" Xiao Diao couldn't help but complain. His miserable appearance was comparable to that of Dao Zong back then.
Lin Dong glanced at the information on the Dragon and Phoenix Record and simply ignored it. His real opponent could not be these fourth or fifth rank supreme beings. The only ones who could be his opponents could be the peerless geniuses of the Tianluo League. However, as long as the opponent did not break through to the Earth Supreme, he would not be afraid at all.
Think of this.
He looked at Mandala and said, "Can the Supreme Heaven come in?"
“I’m not sure, but with the power of the Supreme Lord of Heaven, there is no area in the universe that they cannot enter. It’s just a matter of the size of the consequences... You don’t need to worry about this matter. If an accident really happens, your teacher will take action. We don’t need to care about those things!” Mandala said calmly. She was not worried about the Supreme Lord of Heaven taking action. With the combat power of the Emperor of Heaven, he might not be able to defeat the five immortal Supreme Lords of Heaven. Compared with these things, she was more worried that Lin Dong would not be able to defeat the geniuses of the Tianluo League.
If Lin Dong was defeated and killed, things would undoubtedly become quite complicated, and she would not be able to explain to the Emperor of Heaven.
“I understand.” Lin Dong’s eyes flickered and he nodded in response. At the same time, he was looking forward to the upcoming battle for Long Fengtian. He wondered whether Long Fengtian’s true dragon essence and blood could further strengthen his own body.
As for the geniuses of the Tianluo Alliance, he believed that he was no weaker than anyone.
“You will stay here in seclusion for the next period of time. I will send someone to deliver the corresponding training materials. At the same time, I will also send people to inquire about the news of this Dragon and Phoenix Heaven... I hope you can achieve good results in the end and don’t let down the expectations of the Emperor of Heaven!” Mandala said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Lin Dong nodded, "We will!"
He has come all the way from the Great Yan Dynasty and has experienced so much. He also owes too much to his teacher. This time he must make some contribution to the Heavenly Court.
Mandala said nothing and turned away. As for the final result, it all depended on themselves. She had done what she should do. If it failed in the end, the Emperor of Heaven could not blame her, but could only blame himself for being blind.
Thinking of this, Mandala began to feel a faint expectation in her heart. She inexplicably hoped to see the Emperor of Heaven get into trouble... Perhaps it was because the other party's name overlapped with that of the ancient Emperor of Heaven, which made her instinctively feel a little repulsed.
"Emperor of Heaven..." Mandala muttered to herself as she looked at the void in the distance, her golden pupils showing a little confusion. She had lost many memories, but she always remembered the care that Emperor of Heaven had given her in the past. It was one of the few things that made her feel warm.
To her, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor was her only relative in this world, but everything was destroyed... destroyed by a traitor!!
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness emerged in the depths of her eyes.
……
……
The universe is vast and endless, with countless living creatures, and spirit beasts are one of them. This is because most of these spirit beasts are gifted and have a great advantage in lifespan. With such a long lifespan, it is enough for these spirit beasts to accumulate a powerful foundation, which makes many human forces quite wary.
The spiritual beast race is considered to have the most complex bloodlines among all living creatures in the entire universe.
Their power comes from their bloodline. Those with strong bloodlines are called the divine beast race. The race with this bloodline is born with powerful strength that makes heaven and earth fear them. Among them are many super divine beasts that rank among the supreme ones in the sky.
However, there are only a few races that can be called divine beasts, and the Nine Nether Bird Clan is obviously not among them. Even in the ranking of spiritual beast clans, it is very far behind and can only barely make the list.
This also makes the Nine Nether Bird's status in the Divine Beast Continent quite low. It can only open up its own territory, but cannot enter the Divine Beast Continent to reproduce!
The realm they are in is called the Nine Netherworld! (End of this chapter)
