Chapter 388: Just Because I’m Handsome?
Shen Tian didn’t know that outside the Golden Crow Thearch tomb on Immortal Abode Island, someone was already thinking about him.
He, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus all focused their attention on helping the Golden Crow vengeful spirits transcend.
After all, the influence of this was too great. If they managed to successfully assist these nine Golden Crow vengeful spirits in transcending, the entire Immortal Abode would then belong to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
One had to know that this was once the Dao residence of the Golden Crow Thearch. It was one of the few supreme treasure islands that had the most abundant spiritual energy in Northern Sea. It was almost as precious as the Divine Firmament Small World.
If they could really take over the ownership of the Immortal Abode Island, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s heritage would greatly increase.
As the main instigator of this matter, be it the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Heavenly Venerate Azure Lotus, or Shen Tian himself, they would all be recorded in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s historical records and be remembered by their descendants!
Any person would want to be immortalized for generations, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so!
With the three Golden Crows leading the way, their search for the other Golden Crows became much smoother.
Before long, they found another Golden Crow vengeful spirit in the core of a spirit stone mine.
The nine Golden Crow princes were sealed separately. There was no fixed method or pattern to the breaking of their seals.
As Immortal Abode Island had just resurfaced, the Golden Crow vengeful spirit had yet to escape its seal.
Therefore, the process of transcending the Golden Crow was extremely smooth. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus each held one of the Golden Crow’s wings and suppressed it.
The three Golden Crows also suppressed it with the same source power. It was simply a one-sided pressure.
“Just this? Do we even need to work together to help these little chicks transcend?”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus carried a staff on his shoulder and said smugly, “This old man alone is enough. Junior Brother, you should go rest!”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said indifferently, “The Golden Crow princes are still around! Senior Brother, watch your words.”
Seriously, these Golden Crows are weak only because they have fallen, and only a wisp of their true spirit remains.
Otherwise, why don’t you try calling them chicks in front of them when they’re at their peak?
Each of them would spit out a mouthful of divine flames to let you know what the passion of the Golden Crow race was like.
The Golden Crow Crown Prince revealed an awkward smile. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I believe this benefactor is merely joking around.
“Father always taught us to be close to the human race and to be kind to others. We shouldn’t take these small matters to heart.”
Everyone knew that the Golden Crow Race controlled fire and was famous for being kind like water.
Well, that’s right. They just had a good temper.
...
After transcending the fourth Golden Crow, Shen Tian slowly put away the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.
At this moment, the merit energy surrounding the Six Paths of Reincarnation disk was even denser than before, looking incomparably divine.
Even Shen Tian felt his entire body relax. It was as if the Heavenly Dao was closer to him and his mind seemed to be painted clear with cool oil.
“The remaining five brothers of mine seem to have already started breaking their seals.” The Golden Crow Crown Prince then continued. “We are connected by blood and are able to roughly sense each other. I believe that they must have sensed something.”
Shen Tian pursed his lips.
So what if they did sense something?
This tomb was isolated from the outside world and was completely sealed.
It could be said that in this place, it was impossible for one to call for help.
In addition, with the four Golden Crows leading the way, it was only a matter of time before the remaining five Golden Crows transcended.
You want to struggle? Even if you scream until your throat breaks, it won’t work!
Following the Golden Crow Prince’s guidance, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and Shen Tian transformed the remaining Golden Crow Princes one by one.
Everything went unbelievably smoothly.
Of course, the main contributor to all of this was Shen Tian’s Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.
At the same time, he also had Ye Qincang, who was proficient in the Spirit Transcending Manual. If that wasn’t the case, it would simply be a fool’s dream to transcend these Golden Crow Princes that had been tainted by evil aura for tens of thousands of years.
After all, this was something, not even a Thearch could do anything about.
...
“The way of mortal life cannot be foreseen, the road of cultivation is long and hard to grasp.
“The way of ghost can bring people temporary happiness, but as a human, one should walk the
path of cultivation.
“The road of cultivation is where one would treasure and cherish one’s life so as to serve others,
while the way of being a ghost places emphasis on finishing and the end.
“The way of cultivation often brings one luck while the way of ghost often endangers one and
makes one vicious.”
As the ethereal and mysterious sutra sounded, the last Golden Crow bathed in the light emitted by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, its evil aura being gradually washed away.
This Golden Crow was clearly much smaller than the other Golden Crows. It seemed to be the youngest of the nine Golden Crows.
Yes, even the third leg of this Three-legged Golden Crow was short and shriveled. Clearly, it had not fully developed.
It was obvious that this Golden Crow was still at a very young age when it had died, maintaining its young appearance even after tens of thousands of years.
When the last Golden Crow shed away its evil aura, the nine crimson-gold Golden Crows simultaneously shot out resplendent lights like a vast red rising sun.
At that moment, streaks of divine radiance shot out of the nine Golden Crows’ bodies, connecting together.
An unprecedentedly powerful pressure instantly filled the entire space of the tomb, causing it to rumble.
The lightning and heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader fluctuated violently. Clearly, he was not in a calm mood.
“As expected of the Golden Crow’s Ninth Prince, whose name shook the five regions. Even though he only has his Essence Soul left, his might is still unimaginable.”
From the looks of it, even if the rumors of the Nine Suns in the sky being able to compete with the Thearchs were slightly exaggerated, it was definitely not nonsense.
What a pity!
Compared to the Dragon and Kun races, the Golden Crow race’s reproductive ability was too weak.
Across the entire five regions, only the Golden Crow Thearch had managed to create a miracle and give birth to nine children, shocking the entire five regions.
The other Golden Crows might not even be able to give birth to one or two children throughout their entire lives.
Ever since the Golden Crow Thearch had ascended to the Celestial World, the Golden Crow race had gradually declined in numbers. Now that 80,000 years had passed, they had even gone extinct in the five regions. It was unknown if they still had any descendants left.
Otherwise, they would definitely become a supreme divine beast that wasn’t any weaker than a Dragon or a Phoenix, and every single one of them was comparable to a high-grade Dragon and Phoenix.
The nine mighty red suns guarded each other, and the scorching power of the sun surged in all directions like waves. The temperature of the entire tomb increased tenfold in an instant.
If not for the fact that everyone in the tomb was a cultivator and their cultivation wasn’t shallow, the terrifying heatwaves alone would be enough to turn all of them into ashes.
Rumble!
The nine Golden Crows formed a circle, and the void in the center of the circle was burned into nothingness.
And in the void space, the golden-red door slowly opened, drawing out an incomparably mighty figure.
The nine Golden Crows spoke at the same time, “Your child greets Father Thearch!”
Tears welled up in the eyes of every Golden Crow, but they didn’t evaporate despite the terrifying temperature.
Although the evil energy had infected them, they had not lost their memories. They knew very well what it meant when Immortal Abode Island appeared.
It meant that their most respected and revered father had fallen in the Celestial World.
Their father had not been able to find a way to save them in the Celestial World.
“Death is inevitable. Death is just a new cycle. There’s no need to feel sad.”
The Golden Crow Thearch looked at the nine Golden Crows with a gratified smile. “To be able to see all of you be freed and enter the cycle of reincarnation, I still feel gratified even if I have died.”
...
The Golden Crow Thearch then turned to Shen Tian.
His face was enveloped by boundless profound light and couldn’t be seen clearly. However, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate through it.
The Golden Crow Thearch’s words seemed to have an underlying meaning. “I didn’t think that the five regions would really produce a human like you.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heart stirred slightly. “Imperial Lord, what do you mean? Could it be that you know that Tian’er’s physique is special?”
Just where did Shen Tian’s physique come from? Those familiar with him were all incomparably curious about it.
It was inconceivable for a person’s body to contain ten kinds of extraordinary items and even the forbidden chaotic aura.
The Golden Crow Thearch shook his head slowly. “I’ve never seen such a handsome human before. He’s as handsome as I was when I was young.”
Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader, “???”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, “???”
The nine Golden Crow princes (covering their faces), “...”
You’re the Thearch. You’re always right.
After all, you are like the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, who covers his face every day. We can’t even see what you look like.
Shen Tian smiled and grumbled in his heart.
The Golden Crow Thearch also seemed to see through Shen Tian’s ‘acknowledgment’. He smiled and said, “Young man, do you know... that I wanted to borrow your body to live a second life?”
Borrow your body and live a second life!
The Golden Crow Thearch’s gentle and calm voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
In an instant, both the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus felt their blood run cold. Their auras surged as though they were facing a formidable enemy.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian was dumbstruck as he stared at the Golden Crow Thearch. For a moment, he was a little confused. The mighty Golden Crow Thearch wanted to borrow his body to live a second life?
How would he borrow it?
Would he share the body with himself or take over his body?
Or perhaps would he make a bird appear on his body?
Or was it like in the novels, where he would directly destroy his soul and then possess his body?
Why?
The great Thearch did not reincarnate after his death and instead wanted to take over his body?
Could it be because he was handsome?
...
As if seeing through Shen Tian’s doubts, the Golden Crow Thearch sighed softly. “It’s because I know that the five regions are about to face an unprecedented calamity.”
He said calmly, “I originally thought that only I could reverse this upcoming calamity.”
