NOVPUBTwo different flames were burning fiercely.
Everywhere they passed, the land was a mess, with everything scorched to ashes.
Gold and blue were entwining.
Even a glance from an ordinary person could melt their eyes.
Temperatures exceeding tens of thousands of degrees enveloped the surroundings.
It was like a tornado, sweeping in from all directions, encircling Xu Zimei at the center point.
Even someone as strong as Zimei could feel the intense heat, causing drops of sweat to form on his forehead.
He raised his hands above his head, and the two flames merged together, then intertwined and rose higher and higher.
They coalesced into a real Flame Dragon tornado.
In the process of spinning, the tornado gradually fused together.
And finally, everything surged towards that crimson Vermilion Bird heart.
Zimei carefully controlled the flames, as the control of the fire had to be very precise.
Too little and the heart could not be activated.
Too much would destroy it outright.
Even for him, this state required a great deal of effort.
When the storm of two flames poured into the heart, the two people present seemed to hear the "thumping" sound of a heartbeat.
Venerable Nu slightly lifted his head, and above the heart, the faint shadow of the Vermilion Bird was already emerging.
This state continued for nearly half an hour.
Finally, a sharp bird cry shattered the silence.
The heart’s pulsations grew faster and more astonishing.
It also began to grow larger and no longer required Zimei to control the flames.
The heart could now absorb them on its own.
When the fiery flames enveloped the heart completely, Zimei seized the moment and threw the Leaf of Life over.
A rich scent of life energy streaked through the air, leaving a trail behind.
It was immediately set ablaze by the Blazing Flames.
Red mixed with traces of green burned with a "crackling" sound.
Before this, the heart had a deathly still aura about it.
But now, it was brimming with Life Energy and becoming more and more immense, beginning to spread outward.
This resurrection, with the Vermilion Bird’s vital heart in existence, simply meant reconstructing the body and condensing the Divine Soul.
It was also fortunate that it was a Divine Beast; if it were a normal Monster Beast or human, there would be no possibility of resurrection.
The fierce flames burned, and at this time, it was beyond Zimei’s control.
Whether it could be reborn was now up to its own Creation.
Zimei had almost finished all he could do.
He stepped out of the Formation and stood beside Venerable Nu.
"How confident are you?" Venerable Nu inquired.
"If it has an indomitable heart, eighty percent. If it has already resolved to die, then it cannot be saved," Zimei answered truthfully.
In that ball of flames, astonishing power was converging.
Suddenly, a loud and piercing bird cry erupted from the flames.
The fire that was once a ball seemed to stretch out, transforming into a giant bird that soared straight into the sky.
Soaring above the Firmament.
Although its true countenance was unclear, one could distinguish a basic silhouette through the flames.
The giant bird was truly a fiery red.
Feathers positioned in a regular, lush pattern.
Especially the claws, at first glance, gave the impression of being incredibly hard, as if they could pierce through all defenses in the world.
Above its head was a crown-like crest, regal and composed.
Particularly the tail, seven or eight tails orderly trailed behind with shapes and colors that were notably eye-catching.
Red with a slight touch of dark yellow.
Spinning into tiny whirlpools, they appeared at the tail end.
This is none other than the Vermilion Bird, one of the legendary Four Mythical Beasts.
The Vermilion Bird, the fire element of the southern Bing and Ding.
Cutting through the liquid to form a dragon, solidifying air to become a bird, its energy soars to the heavens, its essence descends to the earth, and so it is the foundation of the great elixir.
"Qing’er," Venerable Nu shouted towards the firmament.
He laughed with joy, "She’s alive, Qing’er is alive."
In the end, he was even moved to tears.
Such a spectacle reached straight into the firmament, casting its reflection over the entire Heavenly Dao Academy.
And all the residents of Heavenly Dao City could see it.
The magnificent Vermilion Bird was flying under this majestic starry sky.
Suddenly, the Vermilion Bird let out a pained scream; the flames burning on its body grew stronger, as if to devour it.
The Vermilion Bird was crying out in agony.
"Why is this happening?" Venerable Nu shouted anxiously from below.
"Don’t worry," Xu Zimei said, waving his hand.
"This is also why I asked you to choose the night of the full moon."
With a wave of his right hand, a vast hand formed of endless spiritual energy extended directly towards the sky.
The night of the full moon is the time of ultimate yin within the heavens and earth.
As the spiritual energy hand formed by Xu Zimei moved, strands of purifying brilliance fell from the full moon above.
The bright moonlight enveloped the fully ignited Vermilion Bird.
As the moonlight covered it, the flames on the Vermilion Bird began to diminish.
"Because it has merged with the True Sunfire, it can activate the Southern Luminous Flame.
But after all, these are two different types of flames," Xu Zimei explained as he watched this scene.
"After its resurrection, there will still be conflict."
"I understand," Venerable Nu nodded.
"There’s something else you should be aware of," Xu Zimei said.
"Although she has been resurrected, all her previous memories have been erased.
Now she doesn’t remember anything."
"I know, as long as she’s alive, that’s all that matters," Venerable Nu hurriedly nodded.
As the figure of the Vermilion Bird gradually descended and began to transform, Xu Zimei patted Venerable Nu on the shoulder.
He said, "I’ll be leaving now, remember to find some clothes for her to wear after she finishes transforming."
Watching Xu Zimei’s departing figure, Venerable Nu suppressed the excitement in his heart and said solemnly, "Thank you."
Xu Zimei waved his hand without looking back.
...
He did not concern himself with the Vermilion Bird any longer but returned to his cave dwelling.
Ready to leave tomorrow with Shi Jian for the Feather Clan to resolve the matter of the Supreme Hammer.
Due to the resurrection of the Vermilion Bird, the Heavenly Dao Academy was unusually lively tonight.
As for how to deal with the future, that was Venerable Nu’s own business.
A silent night passed,
When Xu Zimei emerged from his cave dwelling, Shi Jian was already waiting outside.
He seemed somewhat eager.
After all, it was a matter of life and death for his race.
"Do you remember what you said yesterday?" Shi Jian asked directly.
"Let’s go," Xu Zimei replied with a smile.
The two set off, stepping into the sky and heading outside the Heavenly Dao Academy.
According to Shi Jian’s explanation, the Stone Race was not actually far from Heavenly Dao City.
Conversely, to facilitate the conquest of the Stone Race, the Feather Clan had also moved nearby.
Three hundred li to the east of Heavenly Dao City was where the Stone Race and the Feather Clan started their battle.
But as soon as they left Vermilion Bird Island, they were confronted by a Sword Qi blocking their way.
"So, you plan to run from the agreed challenge?" Ji Ruobing’s cold voice sounded from the side.
