Chapter 7 The Overly Cautious Yan Fei

Ling Chen had no idea that all of this was being orchestrated by Yan Fei behind the scenes. The truth was, the elder powerhouses of the Xuanxian World had been too treacherous—every secret realm was full of deadly danger. Often, the ones that looked the safest were actually the most perilous.

Yan Fei had suffered too many losses in her early years and had developed a psychological shadow because of it. So when she sensed no trace of danger in the Golden Crow Secret Realm Ling Chen had created, it only made her more certain it was an incredibly terrifying and deadly place.

As a result, she kept warning Xiao Yueying again and again—Be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious. After all, this was a secret realm from the Mythical Era. Even someone as mysterious and powerful as Yan Fei couldn’t help but feel uneasy. But continuing to hesitate like this wasn’t a solution.

Ling Chen was growing impatient and decided to patch the Golden Crow Secret Realm. Although he wasn’t physically present in the secret realm, the Golden Crow Secret Realm was entirely under his control—he could modify it at any time.

“System, give me a portion of Golden Crow Will!”

Now flush with shock points, Ling Chen boldly spent 300 shock points to create a strand of the Golden Crow’s will, binding it to the Golden Crow’s blood essence. He wanted to see if Xiao Yueying could still hold back now.

Golden Crow Secret Realm.

Xiao Yueying looked around over and over again, puzzled.

“Teacher, I really don’t see any danger. Could it be that this place isn’t dangerous at all?”

“Impossible. Every secret realm comes with peril. Take a closer look.”

Yan Fei instructed calmly and confidently.

The moment she finished speaking, the Golden Crow essence blood at the center of the secret realm suddenly burst forth with divine radiance.

Boom!!!

A powerful wave erupted from the essence blood, surging outward layer by layer like a colossal tidal wave, sweeping across the entire secret realm.

“What did I tell you? I knew there had to be danger here!” Yan Fei said with a hint of smugness.

She could sense that this wave of willpower wasn’t particularly strong—she was completely at ease now. But while it might not be strong for her, it was absolutely terrifying for Xiao Yueying.

Xiao Yueying felt as if she were engulfed in a blazing sea of royal solar fire, unable to move at will, and on the verge of being overturned by this overwhelming force.

“So this is the power of the Golden Crow’s essence blood?”

She stared at the crimson droplet of blood suspended in midair, unable to contain her awe. To her, this drop of essence blood felt alive—howling, struggling, trying to break free from its restraints.

Bang!

Xiao Yueying took a step forward, and the entire secret realm seemed to tremble with her movement. A terrifying pressure, like a tidal wave, surged toward her—it was the unyielding will of the Golden Crow’s essence blood.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Xiao Yueying gritted her teeth and advanced step by step. With every step she took, the will of that essence blood grew stronger. The surrounding space trembled violently, as if it could no longer bear the overwhelming power.

When she took the thirteenth step, a loud ringing exploded in her mind, and infinite lights and shadows danced before her eyes. In a trance, she seemed to see a colossal three-legged Golden Crow soaring into the sky, standing tall beside the divine Fusang tree, roaring across the heavens.

In a trance, she seemed to see that giant three-legged Golden Crow reigning over all, worshiped by countless powerful members of the demon race.

In a trance, she seemed to see the same Golden Crow battling the heavens, collapsing mountains and rivers, tearing apart the firmament itself.

“Haah!”

Xiao Yueying’s eyes burned brightly as a luminous full moon manifested behind her, exuding a vast and majestic aura that pressed downward.

“It’s just a drop of blood! I don’t believe that one drop of three-legged Golden Crow essence blood can completely suppress me!”

Enduring the crushing pressure that felt as though her body might explode, Xiao Yueying advanced relentlessly and reached out to grab the Golden Crow’s essence blood.

“Yueying, this drop of Golden Crow blood has no owner. What you must do is not resist it, but fuse with it—try to open your mind.”

Yan Fei’s voice echoed in Xiao Yueying’s mind, bringing a flash of clarity to her eyes. Xiao Yueying deeply trusted Yan Fei, and upon hearing those words, she immediately relaxed her mental defenses.

In the next instant, the drop of Golden Crow essence blood ceased its rampage and directly fused into Xiao Yueying’s body. Countless memories flooded in.

It was as if Xiao Yueying had opened a photo album, witnessing countless vivid memory fragments that stirred her soul—so much so that she nearly cried out in astonishment. She now knew the origin of this drop of Golden Crow essence blood.

It didn’t come from an ordinary three-legged Golden Crow—but from the king among them, the Sixth Prince of the Demon Race’s Heavenly Court!

And the father of this Sixth Prince was none other than the founder of the Demon Race’s Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor Dijun, revered across the Three Realms. This revelation was simply too overwhelming!

Especially the vision of Demon Emperor Dijun standing tall above the Thirty-Three Heavens, commanding all demons to kneel before him with a wave of the Demon-Summoning Banner—it left a deep shock in Xiao Yueying’s heart.

She never imagined that in a distant past, this land was once ruled by such a terrifying force, one that reigned over all demons and commanded the world.

At the same time, she also obtained the cultivation technique Golden Crow Sacred Flame Manual. This divine-level cultivation technique could only be practiced by those with the Golden Crow bloodline. It was created by the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan’s Celestial Court and was the supreme technique of the Golden Crow Clan — also recognized as one of the strongest techniques in the entire Demon Clan.

“Isn’t the Qi Refining stage supposed to have only ten levels? This technique actually allows cultivation up to the thirteenth level?”

“Isn’t the Perfect Dao Foundation the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage? Yet this mentions something even higher — the Eternal Dao Foundation?”

“And the Core Formation stage… it can evolve the Golden Core into a Golden Core Dao? That’s unheard of!”

Xiao Yueying was completely shocked by the power of the Golden Crow Sacred Flame Technique. Every single realm described in it was far stronger than anything she had ever known!

Refine the essence blood, reshape the bloodline!

Xiao Yueying’s entire body was enveloped in Golden Crow flames, submerged in a sea of fire. She looked like a phoenix reborn in nirvana.
