Myth Beyond Heaven

The token was perfectly inserted into the hole, and the Vermilion Bird-shaped flame immediately reeled up.

The gate behind the flame suddenly opened, and a finger-sized, vermilion-colored droplet of blood gently flew out. The vermilion-colored blood released a gentle aura that made everyone feel relaxed and filled with vitality.

Facing this, everyone, including Huoyun Yurou, knelt on the ground directly, showing their utmost respect toward the Vermilion Bird’s Origin Blood.

“It’s really the Vermilion Bird’s Origin Blood,” Hongyue spoke. Her voice was calm, hardly showing any emotion like before. However, there was a trace of nostalgia in the depth of her eyes.

Yun Lintian stared at the vermilion-colored droplet of blood attentively. The first impression he had toward this Origin Blood was kindness. He wasn’t sure whether it was an illusion. He felt the blood was actually looking at him at the moment. It was as though the blood was checking on him.

“Aunty….” Linlin suddenly cried out. Tears gradually flowed out of her eyes as she looked at the droplet of blood.

Yun Lintian was startled and hurriedly asked. “What’s wrong, Linlin?” He didn’t understand why Linlin suddenly became like this. 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂

Linlin shook her head and replied uncertainly. “I don’t know, Big Brother Yun. My heart suddenly ached… There is a piece of blurred memory in my head. It tells me that I know the owner of this Origin Blood.”

Yun Lintian’s brows raised in confusion. He silently asked. “Any idea, Hongyue?”

Hongyue went silent for a moment and replied calmly. “I cannot tell you everything at the moment. This is for your safety. However, I can only tell you that the Vermilion Bird God is a good friend of Linlin’s mother. Linlin should have some impressions when she was young.”

The frown between Yun Lintian’s brows grew deeper. He couldn’t help asking. “For my safety?…. You mean if I know it, I will be in danger like… Ugh, what should I say? Like those emperors monitoring a talented individual that could threaten their thrones?”

“You can think like that. As soon as you know it, your life will be gone in a few minutes. No one can save you at that time.” Hongyue replied after pondering for a moment.

“I see.” An idea flashed across Yun Lintian’s mind. He roughly understood the situation he was in now. There were some villains in those novels he had read before that monitoring the whole world. And when the protagonists showed their talents, these villains would find out and try to eliminate them.

Although this was only his random guess, Yun Lintian felt it was more or less close to the truth. Thinking of this, a sense of urgency rose in his heart again. He wanted to collect all the Beyond Heaven Relics as soon as possible.

“This servant greets Lord Vermilion Bird.” Huoyun Yurou said solemnly.

“We greet Lord Vermilion Bird.” All the fifty figures followed in unison.

“Please forgive this servant for disturbing your rest. This servant’s clan is now in peril. We have no choice but to do this.” Huoyun Yurou said further.

The Vermilion Bird’s Origin Blood suddenly released a gentle aura and helped everyone up. This scene shocked Yun Lintian. He didn’t expect the Origin Blood to understand what they said.

Hongyue seemed to see through Yun Lintian’s thoughts. She said calmly. “Do you know why the Vermilion Bird’s flame is purer than The Sun, which is the origin source?”

Yun Lintian frowned slightly and answered. “Because the Vermilion Bird itself is another origin source?”

“Wrong. Since it’s called an origin source, it means there is only one in the whole universe. How could there be others?” Hongyue rolled her eyes. “The reason is simple. Compared to Phoenix’s and Golden Crow’s flames, which are single elements, the Vermilion Bird’s flame mixes between two elements. Wood and Fire.”

“Wood and Fire? That’s contradicting each other, isn’t it?” Yun Lintian subconsciously asked.

“That’s why it’s special,” Hongyue responded. “In the Primordial Era, it was said the Vermilion Bird was born by the Wood and Fire Origin Sources that happened to intersect once. For some reason, its bloodline was more inclined toward the Wood element, which gave the Vermilion Bird a benevolent personality.”

“I think I remembered it now. I once read about this before. It was said that the flame of the Vermilion Bird could heal any injury in the world and even restore one’s flesh. This ability is clearly coming from the Wood element.” Yun Lintian suddenly recalled the myth about the Vermilion Bird he had read before.

“Mhm,” Hongyue replied with a soft hum and said nothing further.

Thinking of this, Yun Lintian was looking forward to seeing Huoyun Yurou’s power after fusing with the Vermilion Bird’s Origin Blood. Perhaps she could regenerate people’s limbs?

“Lord Vermilion Bird….” Huoyun Yurou took a deep breath and said respectfully. “Please guide us through this darkness.”

The Vermilion Bird’s Origin Blood didn’t move for a while, making Huoyun Yurou and others feel uneasy. Just as Huoyun Yurou was about to say something, the Vermilion Bird’s Origin Blood suddenly shot toward Yun Lintian and drilled into his heart directly.

Yun Lintian was shocked to the extreme. He couldn’t even react, and the Origin Blood had already vanished into his body.

“This….” Huoyun Yurou and others were stunned on the spot. They looked at Yun Lintian in a daze and did not know what to say or do at the moment.

In the next moment, Yun Lintian felt his Profound Vein suddenly expand, and all meridians on his body bulged up, preparing to receive new power.

The Vermilion Bird’s Origin Blood transformed into a cluster of gentle flame, spreading through all of Yun Lintian’s Beyond Heaven Profound Vein in a split second while violently stirring up all the blood in his body.

Compared to the time he received the White Tiger God’s Origin Blood, he didn’t feel much pain in this one. There was only a burning sensation carried by a warm current traveling throughout his body.
