Chapter 1936: Chapter 1935: Breakthrough
The little white snake struggled for a moment and was directly sealed by the Vermilion Bird within Sikong Yu’s Golden Core. This little white snake originally separated from the soul of the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor, inherently possessing some of the Demon Emperor’s talents.
Moreover, when it was already within the Vermilion Bird, its imprint was worn down by the Vermilion Bird. However, the part of the soul that belonged to the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor also needed to merge with the Vermilion Bird, which was intolerable to the Vermilion Bird.
So, to separate this soul curse as persistent as a leech, the Vermilion Bird had to be reborn through fire to resolve the crisis.
To the Vermilion Bird, the little white snake was an intolerable flaw, but to Sikong Yu, it was a rare opportunity.
The Vermilion Bird Goddess knew very well that these human cultivators from the Ancestor Dragon City who fused their bloodlines did not do it out of faith, but merely to become stronger, so what power they cultivate didn’t matter to them as much as the ability to grow stronger.
Thus, sealing the little white snake within the other person’s Golden Core, allowing this soul part of the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor to merge into Sikong Yu’s body, might alter the attribute of her Golden Core, but it wouldn’t be harmful.
After all, she merely possessed the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, but was not her.
As the little white snake fused with the Golden Core inside Sikong Yu, a surge of chilling air dispersed rapidly from the Golden Core, quickly filling the Dantian. Seeing this, the Vermilion Bird directly extracted the Yan Yang Power injected into Sikong Yu’s body.
The icy flame power spilling out of the Golden Core moved unimpeded through the meridians, wandering all over the body. In an instant, the crimson flames on Sikong Yu’s body gradually changed color, a milky white icy flame enveloped her like an iceberg.
The heat in the cave had been unbearable, but at this moment, the air rapidly cooled, even becoming bitingly cold.
"This?"
Ouyang Qiuhai was shocked as he watched: "Li Feng, what did you do to Sister Yu?"
Ouyang Qiuhai’s words were not yet finished when a sudden change occurred on Sikong Yu. The icy flames like an iceberg abruptly shattered, then an icy flame Vermilion Bird flapped its wings and emerged, crying skyward.
An icy flame turned into ripples spreading toward the cave’s four corners, leaving a field of ice clusters wherever it passed, and upon closer inspection, these ice clusters seemed to be burning.
Li Feng looked at the transformed Sikong Yu, now with the mutated Golden Core, and asked the Vermilion Bird Goddess within the Sea of Consciousness: "Can we still call her bloodline the Vermilion Bird Bloodline now?"
The Vermilion Bird Goddess replied indifferently: "Huh, does it matter whether her bloodline is mine to you human cultivators?"
"Moreover, my clan descends from the ancient Phoenix clan, where there are many branches according to differences, for example, my lineage is of pure Yan Yang fire, thus belonging to the Vermilion Bird clan, whereas the Phoenix clan with extreme Yin icy flame belongs to the Ice Phoenix clan."
"There is also Bi Fang, who has the bloodline of the Phoenix clan, and beyond that, many of the Feather Clan originate from the Phoenix clan."
"So there’s no need to fuss over whether it’s a specific bloodline, her current bloodline, having successfully fused the Yin cold of the little white snake with my Essence Blood, holds some of my bloodline talents as well as some extreme Yin attributes from the little white snake."
"For her, it’s a blessing, not a curse."
The Vermilion Bird Goddess said.
Li Feng glanced at the Vermilion Bird Goddess: "Is it really a blessing? You didn’t dare to fuse with the soul part of the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor, yet you incorporated it into her body, it feels like you’re shirking responsibility, to eliminate future troubles."
"Tch, don’t judge this Goddess’s intentions with your petty thoughts. I’ve helped you finish the task, now I’m going to rest, don’t disturb me unless it’s a major issue."
Having said that, the Vermilion Bird Goddess’s Divine Sense dissipated with the wind.
Li Feng chuckled lightly; this Vermilion Bird was not a good bird. He looked up toward the opposite side where Sikong Yu was regathering the dispersed power into her body, slowly opening her eyes.
"How do you feel?"
Sikong Yu looked at Li Feng before her: "What did you do to me?"
Li Feng looked at the unclothed Sikong Yu and wiped his nose: "I swear it wasn’t me, it was the Vermilion Bird, do you believe me?"
Sikong Yu’s eyes burned as she stared at Li Feng for a long while before letting out a cold snort: "Shut your eyes."
Li Feng met Sikong Yu’s sharp, knife-like gaze and truly felt it was as cold as a blade; her aura had changed completely. Then, Li Feng closed his eyes, while Sikong Yu’s cheeks flushed slightly, yet the blush was fleeting, and a contemplative look flashed within her eyes.
In a moment, Sikong Yu stood up, retrieved clothes from her Storage Ring, and put them on; Ouyang Qiuhai hurried forward.
"Sister Yu, how are you? Did Li Feng mess with you? Do you feel any unusual changes?"
Sikong Yu coolly and elegantly said: "I’m fine, in fact, I benefited from it. I’ve broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage."
"Oh, Sister Yu, you’ve broken through?"
Ouyang Qiuhai looked envious; the Golden Core Late Stage, even in Ancestor Dragon City, ranked highly. One should know, that even the core of some third-rate families only have one or two Golden Core Late Stage cultivators.
"Congratulations, Sister Yu, you’ll certainly be in the spotlight shortly, and the threshold of the Sikong family might even be overwhelmed, making it impossible for certain people to even consider marrying in."
Ouyang Qiuhai cast a sidelong glance at Li Feng.
Li Feng ignored Ouyang Qiuhai’s look and stood up, scanning the surrounding trusted aides: "Most of you have benefited this time, and no need to be disheartened, others. Once back in Ancestor Dragon City, I’ll ensure you’re rewarded."
"The Molten Lava Land is not fit for extended stays; we must return quickly."
The Molten Lava Land bordered the Southern Demon Country, and should they be found still alive, the Demon Country wouldn’t let it slide.
Fortunately, Li Feng’s group was trapped within the volcano for half a day, so they should temporarily be presumed dead by the other side, though such matters can’t be concealed for long.
"Yes, returning sooner is better."
Ouyang Qiuhai nodded; she certainly had no desire to remain here, and Sikong Yu nodded in agreement. As their objective was already achieved and having just practiced for a while, their state was perfect, there’s no need to linger for further practice.
Moreover, before leaving First Line Pass, they encountered attacks from the Ten Demon Hall, combined with the activity from the Demon Clan, Sikong Yu understood that perhaps a new war was unfolding, staying here was actually quite dangerous.
No one disagreed, and they immediately left their hiding place. Following the small path opened by the Sikong family, despite the difficulty of the path, Li Feng’s group wasn’t large, and at this time, the Lord Bi Fang was still perched on Sikong Yu’s shoulder, so there was naturally no fear of danger.
They climbed mountains and crossed valleys, leaped over Half Border Mountain, arriving at the northern foothills of Molten Lava Land, ahead lay the thousands of miles of barren terrain.
Bi Fang flew a circle in the sky, then returned: "I’ve discovered a Demon Clan camp twenty miles ahead."
"What, Demon Clan camp?"
Everyone was surprised; twenty miles is merely ten kilometers, that’s only minutes at their pace.
"Did those few demons foresee our escape from life-threatening situations and therefore lay down a net in advance?"
