Hearing this familiar cawing sound, Zhao Xing felt a sense of emotion.
The last ti they t was before the first ti he entered the Dragon Court, which was in the third year of Da Zhi.
Now it's already the 82nd year of Yuan Shou, more than two hundred years have passed in between.
No wonder the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird thought he was dead; two hundred years is indeed a long ti.
"Soul Heavenly Vision!"
Zhao Xing imdiately activated this Ultimate Skill, a flash of purple light flickering in his eyes.
He instantly saw that within the chanical body of the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, there were two soul bodies.
One of them was the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, in the posture of soaring high.
The other was in human form, appearing aged, dressed in Chinese clothing embroidered with bird designs, hands grasping the talons of the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird as if rged into one.
"As expected, there's sothing unusual." Zhao Xing sneered, "It looks like this is the soul of the last Crown Prince of the Li Dynasty, the so-called Heavenly Destiny Guardian."
The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird had once ntioned that the last owner of the supre treasure 'One Dream of Heaven and Earth' was the last Crown Prince of the Li Dynasty.
The soul-type vestnt robe he was wearing also just proved this point.
"Zhao Xing, you can see now." The Prince of Li showed a slight smile, "Allow to introduce myself, I am the controller of this supre treasure, the Crown Prince of the Li Dynasty, Yang Yanzhen; this silly bird is called 'Zhi Nu', he was raised by ."
"Now that you can see , let's discuss the terms."
"Hmph." Zhao Xing, with a surge of soul power, pushed back the probing of the Prince of Li. "It's one thing to call a silly bird, but what about you?"
"A trace of residual soul bound inside the chanism dares to put on airs in front of ."
Zhao Xing pressed the Prince of Li so he couldn't lift his head, leaving him unable to hear his own and the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird's conversation.
The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, was it really the soul of a mysterious bird imprisoned inside a chanism?
"Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, do you have any other na besides Zhi Nu?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Gah? You know everything?" The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird's eyes widened. "You're actually this powerful!"
"Indeed, I am a reincarnated immortal, and now that my divine skills have recovered, I naturally see everything clearly." Zhao Xing casually found a reason to help the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird understand why he was so strong.
"You have helped on my path of growth, and as promised, I have co to save you, to resolve this cause and effect."
"A reincarnated immortal? Hahaha! That's wonderful!" The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird exclaid excitedly: "You can call 'Li Qingzhi', Zhi Nu is the na Yang Yanzhen forcibly gave ."
"I was never raised by him; I was imprisoned by him, nurtured by the forr State Preceptor."
"To repay a debt of gratitude, I later agreed to the State Preceptor to be the Li Dynasty's Guardian Beast, but in the end..."
Zhao Xing listened quietly as the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird recounted, a piece of sealed history unfolding before him.
It turned out that towards the end of the Li Dynasty, the Sect Master of the Dream God Sect, Li Xuanji, who was also the State Preceptor of Da Li, inadvertently found a young Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, and brought it back to the country.
At that ti, Da Li was already plagued by internal strife and external threats, with the last Emperor of Da Li being foolish and incompetent. After raising the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, the Dream God Sect Master, Li Xuanji, nad it Li Qingzhi and let it serve as Da Li's Guardian Beast, extending Da Li's life.
To repay this kindness, the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird agreed.
Unfortunately, even a Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird couldn't save Da Li's fate, as Da Li was eventually destroyed.
By that ti, the Sect Master of the Dream God Sect Li Xuanji had died in battle, and the capital had already fallen.
Logically, the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird didn't need to perish along with the Li Dynasty, but the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, Li Qingzhi, to repay the kindness, saved the Crown Prince Yang Yanzhen and escaped.
The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird protected Yang Yanzhen as they wandered overseas for many years, which by all accounts was doing the utmost in kindness, as Li Qingzhi was raised by the State Preceptor Li Xuanji, not the Emperor of the Li Dynasty.
Having served as the guardian beast for the Li Dynasty for so many years and keeping the incense of the Yang Royal Family burning, it was indeed a benevolent act.
However, the Crown Prince Yang Yanzhen did not see it that way.
He believed that the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird was just a pet beast raised by the Li Dynasty and should be inherited by him, becoming his private property.
After sensing the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird's reluctance to follow him in continuing the restoration of the kingdom, Yang Yanzhen, while the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird was off guard, killed it, extracted its soul, and embedded it into a chanical body, making it an Artifact Spirit, so that he could control it forever!
The chanical beast Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, though not as powerful as the original, was easier to control.
Unfortunately, Yang Yanzhen's restoration dreams were dood to fail.
Approaching the end of his life span, because Yang Yanzhen was not an emperor, his soul could be preserved by transformation, so he too was housed inside 'One Dream of Heaven and Earth'.
Waiting for the day when he could find an opportunity to rise again, to achieve the grand plan of revival and restoration!
However, the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird was not as weak as Yang Yanzhen imagined; even as a secondary Artifact Spirit, it could violate the Heaven and Earth Rules inside One Dream of Heaven and Earth.
"Li Qingzhi, Yang Yanzhen... so there's a story of a farr and a snake here as well." Zhao Xing realized.
"Now I need to help you break free and fully control this treasure."
"Do you know where the core is? What's the difficulty?"
The wings of the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird pointed outside: "The core of One Dream of Heaven and Earth should be hidden by Yang Yanzhen in the Dream God Temple, you just need to find this place and refine the core to control this treasure!"
"Of course, in reality, you cannot be too far from the treasure."
Zhao Xing nodded: "Be careful, I have to leave the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and won't be able to help suppress Yang Yanzhen's soul."
"Gah gah! Don't worry, I can hold him off!"
