When the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master swung his hand, endless rays of refinent glowed and emitted from him.
His right palm, with boundless might, pressed down towards Xu Zii.
"Young man, no matter where you co from or how strong your backing is,
you should understand the principle that there are heavens beyond heaven."
As the palm descended, Xu Zii truly felt a surge of pressure.
Even the pinnacle of immortality was not sothing he could confront at the mont.
However, if he wished to leave, the other could not stop him.
As the right palm was about to fall from the sky, a roar that could deafen reverberated around them.
The roar was so vigorous it seed to rupture the eardrums of the several people present.
Following that, the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master’s right hand paused in mid-air, obstructed by a large paw.
The Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master slightly frowned, looking ahead of Xu Zii.
Chaos was breathing heavily, its large eyes glaring at him.
The enormous body of Chaos occupied nearly half the space.
The majestic beastly might filled the surroundings densely.
"What is this?" Zhao Changfeng stood dumbfounded beside them, stunned as he observed Chaos.
"Monster Beast, a real beast from the era of Wild Desolation," the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master contemplated for a mont.
He said casually, "To be precise, it should be considered a Vein Beast."
He looked deeply at Xu Zii, understanding that to subdue an existence from the era of Wild Desolation at such a young age,
and a Vein Beast that had Stepped into Immortality at that.
His heart quivered slightly.
He understood the pride of these Monster Beasts; even death wouldn’t make them serve humans as Vein Beasts.
And now, willing to do so by choice, he did not know how Xu Zii had managed it.
"This must be your confidence," said the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master, retracting his hand and looking calmly at Xu Zii.
"Did you think, relying on a Vein Beast that has Stepped into Immortality, you could just storm into Vermilion Academy?"
"I don’t wish to be an enemy of Vermilion Academy, which is why I have been speaking to you all with courtesy."
Xu Zii spoke indifferently.
"But that’s as far as it goes. Even if it were not just a branch office but the Heavenly Dao Academy itself, how would it be?
I would still attempt to barge in."
After saying this, Xu Zii started walking step by step towards the high platform.
He intended to take the Lihuo Vermilion Fire Body.
Zhao Changfeng beside him wanted to stop him, but was held back by the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master.
The Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master watched ahead with a serious expression.
Zhao Changfeng was sowhat bewildered beside him, not understanding why the Ancestral Master would fear a newly-immortalized Vein Beast.
Although Vein Beasts were much stronger than humans of the sa realm,
Chaos was only at the realm of Mysterious Immortal, still far from the Immortal Extre.
But Zhao Changfeng didn’t realize that the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master’s gaze was not on Chaos.
Instead, it was on the mass of dark mist beside Xu Zii.
In it, he sensed an overwhelming threat.
Ever since he reached the Immortal Extre, it had been a long ti since he had encountered such danger.
The last ti he felt this kind of crisis was probably when he t the Mortal Great Emperor.
He did not understand what that dark mist was.
But he knew that the mist was warning him.
If Xu Zii safely acquired the Lihuo Vermilion Fire Body, everything would be fine.
Otherwise, a great terror would certainly occur.
The Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master took a deep breath, restraining the urge to take action in his heart.
This matter had to be reported to the Heavenly Dao main headquarters; it was no longer sothing their Vermilion Academy could handle.
Watching as Xu Zii took away the Lihuo Vermilion Fire Body,
it was a fiery red Battle Body Bead, carved with the phantom image of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.
The bead was slightly warm to the touch, seemingly containing endless power.
...
"Don’t forget to thank the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master," Xu Zii said with a faint smile to Yue Qingli, who was standing there in a daze.
"Ah," Yue Qingli was startled for a mont, then saw Xu Zii casually toss the Battle Body Bead to him.
Yue Qingli took the Battle Body Bead, a bit at a loss for what to do next.
He hurriedly bowed to the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master and said, "Thank you for bestowing the bead, Ancestral Master."
The Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Xu Zii with great seriousness.
You should know that the Hundred Great Battle Bodies were sothing everyone desperately sought after, sothing even certain Great Emperors would go out of their way to find.
And yet, Xu Zii could so casually gift one to a disciple he had just taken on.
He took a deep breath and looked at Xu Zii, asking, "May I inquire where you co from, young master?"
"Doesn’t your Vermilion Academy have students all over the world? You could always investigate it yourself!" Xu Zii said with a light smile.
"Now that the young master has obtained the Lihuo Vermilion Fire Body, isn’t it ti to leave as well?"
The Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master spoke earnestly, his tone neutral.
"Let’s go," Xu Zii said with a smile, addressing the still-stupefied Yue Qingli.
Yue Qingli was completely shocked the entire ti.
In his recollection, not to ntion eting the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master, even entering the academy was a dream to him.
And now, he had also received the so-called Hundred Great Battle Bodies.
Watching the backs of Xu Zii and Yue Qingli as they left, the expression on the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master’s face gradually dimd.
"Ancestral Master, we..." Zhao Changfeng started to speak and then hesitated.
"It’s alright, everything should proceed as normal. The matter of the Lihuo Vermilion Fire Body should not be ntioned for now," the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master said, shaking his head slightly.
"I will discuss this matter with the main academy."
"I understand," said Zhao Changfeng, nodding in a hurry.
"Additionally, have soone investigate his origins; the more detailed, the better," the Vermilion Bird Ancestral Master sighed softly.
He looked up slightly at the sky outside the Black Tower.
The sky appeared sowhat gloomy; the fierce storm seed to have co to a stop.
He lanted, "In this era of destiny, more and more things are becoming inscrutable."
...
Xu Zii and Yue Qingli left Vermilion Academy.
Yue Qingli quickly asked, "Teacher, where are we preparing to go?"
"Slaughter City," Xu Zii replied.
"The capital of Lu Kingdom," Yue Qingli nodded in understanding, then hurriedly said.
"We’ll be passing by our Third-Eye Demon Clan; I’ll take you to have a look at our clan.
If they know I’ve taken a teacher, they will certainly be very happy."
Xu Zii nodded; since it was on the way, there was no problem.
After leaving Vermilion Bird City, the two set off northward.
Since Yue Qingli was only in the Condensing Vein Realm, Xu Zii didn’t rush him to integrate with the Lihuo Vermilion Fire Body.
He would have a much higher success rate if he waited until his condition was at its best.
They set off from Vermilion Bird City, passing through dozens of cities.
Among them, there were mountain ranges and gorges.
According to Yue Qingli, the Third-Eye Demon Clan had been living in the mountains for generations due to being shunned by the rest of the world.
Xu Zii rode the Dark Heaven Tiger, while Yue Qingli kept up by jogging behind; this also served as a form of physical tempering.
The two of them thus moved forward, following the disappearing horizon into the distance.
After braving through wind and rain for nearly half a month, Xu Zii and Yue Qingli finally arrived at Three-Eyed Mountain.
This was the so-called dwelling place of the Third-Eye Demon Clan.
The mountain wasn’t particularly high, but it was steep.
Oddly shaped rocks were scattered about the mountain; the occasional gust of wind whistling through them created an atmosphere of profound tranquility.
