Getting Stronger By Fighting

When Wang Zhan first arrived at the Star War Battlefield, he always had many helpers around him, and the four sages were all by his side. He even received the legacy of the Azure Dragon Venerable.

But unexpectedly, fate took a cruel turn. In just a few years, all four sages sacrificed themselves. This left Wang Zhan with some regrets, as he was never able to repay the Azure Dragon Venerable. But the Azure Dragon Venerable was a legendary figure within the Dragon Clan, and although he never returned to the Dragon Clan, Wang Zhan was still concerned about its members.

Therefore, Wang Zhan traveled thousands of miles to the sea domain to rescue the Dragon Clan members.

Since he couldn’t repay the Azure Dragon Venerable, he might as well place all his hopes on the Dragon Clan. If the Dragon Clan needs help in the future, Wang Zhan would appear unconditionally by their side to help them solve their problems.

Of course, even without the Azure Dragon Venerable, Wang Zhan would need to help the Dragon Clan solve these problems, because in his hands are Poseidon’s Trident and the Crystal Armor, all thanks to the Dragon Clan members.

It can be said that without the help of the Dragon Clan, Wang Zhan might not have been able to obtain the Trident, and his combat power wouldn’t have increased so significantly.

The Sword Spirit beside him noticed Wang Zhan’s expression was gloomy, understanding that his mood was not good. He gently patted Wang Zhan’s shoulder and then said slowly, "You need not worry about these things anymore. Since things have come to this point, no matter how hard we try, we can’t change the facts. Moreover, the Vermilion Bird Venerable sacrificed for the greater good. When we encounter those demon gods in the future, we mustn’t let them off easily, as a way to comfort the spirit of the Vermilion Bird Venerable in the heavens!"

Wang Zhan nodded, his gaze returning to the red beads before him, and said slowly, "What is the purpose of this object? Although I’m unsure what it is, I can feel the violent energy emanating from it. Carrying it might even affect my mood, and I feel myself becoming more irritable..."

Wang Zhan suddenly recalled Xiang Tian’s appearance in his mind. Back then, Xiang Tian received the legacy of the White Tiger Venerable, whose power was extremely terrifying.

Over the years, since the White Tiger Venerable struggled to control his temperament, he seemed to have changed a lot. Although he passed all his cultivation to Xiang Tian, that hostility also transferred to Xiang Tian, making him seem like a different person.

Wang Zhan now felt that the beads before him had a similar effect. Holding these beads, he even felt uneasy, a feeling that was not pleasant.

But after all, this was a gift from the Vermilion Bird Venerable before her death. Surely, the Vermilion Bird Venerable didn’t intend to harm him, which made Wang Zhan puzzled. Could this be some sort of demonic creature?

Just as the Sword Spirit was about to explain, the Fire Qilin beside him began to speak slowly: "Because you hold Poseidon’s Trident and the Crystal Armor, both marine treasures, but all of the Vermilion Bird Venerable’s techniques are fire-based, they naturally clash with marine items. Now you’ve received the life essence of the Vermilion Bird Venerable, which is why you feel uneasy. This object isn’t that beneficial to you. If you don’t know how to deal with it, why not give it to me..."

In an instant, everyone noticed the Fire Qilin’s eyes lighting up.

Wang Zhan’s gaze shifted, looking at the Fire Qilin in confusion, and he asked slowly, "Does this help you?"

The Fire Qilin nodded heavily, then spoke again: "This object surely helps me to some extent, and as I also cultivate fire-based techniques, I’m able to absorb all powers from it entirely. If I can absorb everything within it, I believe I can transform into a human form shortly. Perhaps by some stroke of luck, I may obtain a body similar to the Sword Spirit the moment I absorb the energy contained in this bead."

"But unlike the Sword Spirit, even if I have a body, I can still transform into my current form anytime without losing my power."

Wang Zhan never expected this seemingly insignificant bead, which he even resisted, to be a treasure the Fire Qilin desired urgently.

Without any hesitation, Wang Zhan handed the bead to the Fire Qilin with a smile, saying: "Since you value it so much, I’ll give it to you."

"Thank you..."

The Fire Qilin looked at Wang Zhan with gratitude; after all, this was a gift from the Vermilion Bird Venerable to Wang Zhan, and no one would have blamed him if he had kept it for himself.

After all, if someone gives it to you, it’s out of kindness, but if they don’t, it’s not to blame.

At that moment, the Fire Qilin’s eyes were filled with gratitude.

Even Zhao Feiyu never expected Wang Zhan to be so generous, handing over the bead to the Fire Qilin. One should know that the Vermilion Bird Venerable’s lifelong cultivation is immensely powerful. Although Wang Zhan was somewhat repelled by the bead, he still had the means to absorb all its power, which would elevate his cultivation to some extent.

But Wang Zhan handed the bead directly to the Fire Qilin without any hesitation.

By this point, Zhao Feiyu gradually realized why Wang Zhan had so many helpers around him; it seemed Wang Zhan had a personal charm that many people admired.

The Fire Qilin, filled with gratitude, looked at Wang Zhan without hesitation. After a glance into the distance, he spoke slowly: "I can sense there are still some experts in the Returning Cloud Pavilion, so we must remain cautious. I originally intended to absorb all the power of the bead here first, and then join you all in the Returning Cloud Pavilion. But now, I think I should enhance my cultivation here first, transform into a human, and then I’ll be able to provide significant assistance."

"What do you all think?"

While this might delay some time, it can resolve many issues.

Moreover, it adds a level of assurance for Wang Zhan and his companions.

Wang Zhan slightly squinted his eyes, a subtle smile on his lips. He then waved his hand, saying: "Although it sounds good, I want to avenge Zuo Linglong as soon as possible. I’m sure you need time to refine the bead, which I might not have. So perhaps you should stay here, and we will handle the rest..."

But the Fire Qilin shook his head, speaking with determination: "I wouldn’t underestimate the people in the Returning Cloud Pavilion. Though they seem like a band of misfits, the pavilion has an ancient presence. I learned of this entity long ago, and if you rush in, that ancient presence certainly won’t sit idly by."

"After all, the Returning Cloud Pavilion is a force he built, and he wouldn’t easily stand by and watch it fall. However, when factions constantly vie for power, it’s of no consequence to him. The constant internal struggle strengthens them."

In an instant, Wang Zhan’s gaze turned stern.

He glanced at the Sword Spirit beside him. Although he said nothing, they were already in sync.

Wang Zhan trusted most in the Sword Spirit because no matter the circumstance, the Sword Spirit wouldn’t abandon or deceive him and would always stand unconditionally by his side.

Though he trusted the Fire Qilin, it seemed the Fire Qilin considered many factors, worrying Wang Zhan might face trouble, prompting his sudden statement.

But now, Wang Zhan needed to verify.

If there indeed existed an ancient being, Wang Zhan would need to proceed with caution, considering he had the Sword Spirit and Zhao Feiyu with him. If anything happened to them, Wang Zhan wouldn’t know how to explain it.

The Sword Spirit noticed Wang Zhan’s gaze, and after some hesitation, slowly nodded, adding: "I have heard about the Returning Cloud Pavilion too, of the ancient presence dwelling within."

"This being is reportedly the founder of the pavilion, known for possessing extraordinary power."
