Chapter 824 Tree Realm, Fire Spirit

Qin Ming and the Devouring Rat realized that they had entered the Bodhi Immortal Tree.

They were deeply moved by the shocking scene before them.

The phantom of the golden crow divine bird atop the giant nest of the immortal tree was engulfed in golden flames, and was incomparably majestic.

Its enormous wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

When unfolded, it blots out the sky, and golden light flows between its feathers as if molten gold is being poured out.

Each feather tip is imbued with the essence of the sun's fire.

As it flaps its wings, sparks fall like rain, tracing countless dazzling streaks of light across the azure sky.
It possesses the power to burn the heavens and boil the seas.

Behind the bird's head, an incomparably sacred halo of sunlight appeared.

"It really is the ancient Golden Crow! The legendary essence of the supreme Yang of heaven and earth!"

"Huh? Something's not right. Why does it look so weak? How could a golden crow be sealed here in Mount Sumeru?"

Qingyang the Old Demon also came out, looking at the scene before him with amazement.

The Devouring Rat scratched its head and wondered, "We're both True Spirits, so why don't I have such a cool wheel on the back of my head?"

Qingyang Old Demon: "."

Qin Ming could also sense that although this golden crow looked extremely imposing, it did not seem to harbor much hostility towards outsiders like them.

Instead, it carried more of a sense of curiosity.

"Could the opportunity that Gu Chang'an spoke of be right here?" Qin Ming couldn't help but ask.

at this time.

The Devouring Rat's eyes gleamed as it excitedly pointed into the Golden Crow's nest, exclaiming, "Master, look! There's something good over there, a treasure imbued with good fortune!"

Qin Ming looked in the direction of the sound and saw several spiritual objects emitting astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations inside the bird's nest atop the Bodhi tree canopy.

Just one glance was enough to invigorate Qin Ming.

One of the feathers, burning with golden flames, must be the natal feather of the ancient Golden Crow divine bird.

Beside it was another dark gold True Spirit Feather, clearly from another True Spirit Feather Clan, radiating a sharp golden aura, as if forged from pure gold.

"Could this be the feather of another ancient spirit—the Golden-Winged Roc?"

The old demon Qingyang stroked his beard and recognized the object at a glance.

Qin Ming was also greatly surprised. He never expected to see two kinds of true spirit feathers that only existed in ancient books and legends in this place today.

Such true spirits are something that the vast majority of cultivators will never have the chance to see in their entire lives.

"The Golden-Winged Roc King is the most advanced predator-type true spirit bloodline in the spirit world. It was born from the interaction of Yin and Yang energies at the beginning of chaos, combined with a piece of innate sharp metal essence and a fragment of the Extreme Speed ​​Law. It is not a race that was reproduced later."

"It is an extremely special existence among the ancient true spirits."

"Its status is the same as that of the True Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, Kunpeng, etc., and it is one of the Ten Great True Spirit Kings of the Primordial Era."

"Because it likes to eat dragons and snakes, it is even regarded as a natural enemy by the True Spirit Dragon Clan."

"This kind of item would be coveted by not only the Nascent Soul level sects, but even the three great holy emperors of the human race. It's really strange that Mount Sumeru would place it here."

Qingyang the Old Demon also spoke thoughtfully.

"What?! The Golden-Winged Garuda!"

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat's saliva nearly dripped out, its eyes fixed intently on the creature in the Golden Crow's Nest.

Qin Ming was also excited upon hearing this.

If he could remove these two feathers, along with the five-colored peacock feathers he had previously exchanged with Gu Chang'an, he could achieve his goal.

To activate the third great divine power of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, three of the five types of True Spirit Feathers required were gathered at once.

However, there is a phantom image of the Golden Crow Divine Bird on the Bodhi Immortal Tree in front of us. If he takes the treasure, who knows what will happen.

Therefore, they dared not act rashly and planned to observe the situation first.

Followed by.

An incredible scene happened.

They only saw the golden crow phantom scrutinize Qin Ming and his companions for a moment, its gaze revealing an extremely strange expression. Suddenly, it spoke in human language, its voice remarkably clear and melodious:
"Huh? How did you get here?"

"Could it be that the Long-Browed Ancestor let you in?"

"That's not right. He should have been gone from the Spirit Realm long ago, right? But apart from the Long-Browed Ancestor, no one else should know about the existence of this Tree Realm."

“Those monks outside haven’t even reached the Mahayana stage yet, so they shouldn’t know about this.”

Qin Ming was also puzzled. "The Long-Browed Ancestor? Is he some senior from Mount Sumeru?"

The golden crow on the Bodhi tree reacted in this way to Qin Ming.

Then we knew that he was definitely not someone from the outside who had let him in.

Rather, they entered this place by accident, through some special method.

In an instant, an unparalleled brilliance burst forth in its eyes!

"You actually managed to reach the Tree Realm on your own?"

"I am still inside you, and I can sense an extremely powerful spiritual fire of heaven and earth."

"No wonder! May I ask how this fellow Daoist is addressed?"

While talking.

The thousand-foot-tall golden crow phantom shifted and instantly transformed into the appearance of a golden-clad girl with snow-white skin, a delicate figure, and bare feet. Qin Ming cupped his hands and replied, "I am Qin Ming."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Qin."

"It seems you are the destined person that the long-browed master told me about. You should take me out of here quickly."

"In exchange, all the treasures here are yours."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was also taken aback.

This opportunity came too suddenly!

The girl in front of him, who was actually transformed from the golden crow, actually wanted to come with him?

The Devouring Rat also looked at Qin Ming and scratched its head. Its master was indeed extremely popular.
'Is the effect of the "Longevity and Prosperity" entry really that great? Lately, I've certainly been blessed with good fortune.'

'But if I add this golden crow, counting the spirit pets in my little spirit realm, I'll almost have collected seven Calabash Brothers.'

Qin Ming secretly thought the same thing, but given that he didn't know much about the Golden Crow Divine Bird in front of him.

Therefore, it is something that needs to be carefully considered.

After all, the other party is a genuine ancient divine bird, and it would be bad if it exceeded my control.

In addition, this girl in golden robes was aware of the existence of the ancient poisonous flame within her body.
Why is this?
Just then, the old demon Qingyang seemed to have noticed something amiss.

"I thought it was the real Golden Crow, but it turns out it's just a fire spirit of the Golden Crow Divine Flame."

Upon hearing this, the golden-clad girl on the bird's nest looked even more surprised: "I didn't expect you to recognize me. Could you be one of those humans from the Spirit Realm back then?"

When Qingyang the Old Demon was asked this question, he almost gave himself away in front of Qin Ming again, and waved his hands repeatedly to deny it.

Immediately afterward, he said to Qin Ming, "Young friend Qin, I have some impression of her. You can rest assured to take this Golden Crow Fire Spirit with you; it is an extraordinary opportunity for you!"

"I never expected to run into you like this! You truly are a person of extraordinary luck. I was right about you!"

As he spoke, the old demon Qingyang sighed with emotion.

Hearing the old demon's extremely confident words, Qin Ming felt more certain and immediately said to the girl in golden robes:
"Then how shall I, Qin, take you away?"

"Furthermore, how should I, Qin, address you, and why am I trapped here?"

The girl in golden robes tried hard to recall and replied, "You can call me Fire Spirit. You probably already know from that old demon that my true form perished along with the Golden-Winged Roc during the great chaos in the Spirit Realm."

"That ancient war was extremely fierce, affecting the spiritual realms of both humans and demons. Fortunately, your human race had the help of the then-loose immortal-level powerhouse—'Long-browed Ancestor'—which allowed us to join forces and slay that Golden-Winged Roc."

"When I was dying, I sealed my natal divine fire within my feathers."

"In the end, the long-browed ancestor used his great supernatural powers to refine the remaining will of the Golden-Winged Roc King. After tens of thousands of years, it was finally completely destroyed."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the sharp golden feather in the nest.

"After doing all this, the Long-Browed Ancestor never returned to this place. He said that in the future, when a destined person enters the Bodhi Immortal Tree, he will free me."

After listening, Qin Ming roughly understood the cause and effect.

"Then how can I get you out of this place?"

Upon hearing this, the girl cast a spell outwards, and a layer of misty white barrier appeared above the giant ebony nest, within which countless Sanskrit characters drifted uncertainly.

It is clearly some kind of extremely high-level restriction.

Then, the girl in golden robes explained, "This Bodhi Immortal Tree has been sealed by the Long-Browed Ancestor. It requires the blood of a powerful ancient true spirit, along with a secret technique, to be removed."

“I heard from the Long-Browed Ancestor that it must be the blood of the ‘Spirit Devouring Clan’ who has a special constitution that can restrain restrictive barriers.”

"As for the auxiliary incantation and secret method to open the barrier, it is the same as when you entered this place."

After speaking, her gaze fell on the Devouring Rat beside her.

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat nearly jumped up in anger, pointing at the golden-clad girl and cursing loudly:

"Hey! You vixen! How dare you bewitch people! I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to harm me!"

"Master, you must not believe her, there must be some conspiracy!"

But it had just turned its head.

Then Qin Ming patted its shoulder and said, "No, I'll trust her this once. Hurry up and bleed it out; it won't kill you."

"I will remember this as a great service to you."

Hear this.

The Devouring Rat was struck dumb, his emotions shifting from initial excitement at discovering the treasure to sudden sorrow and despair.

'Sigh! I really brought this on myself. I should have known better than to be so eager to find treasure; now I'm going to spend a fortune again.'

The Devouring Rat dared not disobey Qin Ming's orders. With a face full of grief and indignation, it bit its tongue and spat it fiercely at the Bodhi Immortal Tree above.

With blood still in its mouth, it mumbled incoherently, "Bodhi has no tree, nor is the bright mirror a stand."

As the true spirit blood of the Soul Devouring Clan fell, combined with the incantations and secret techniques, the Buddhist barrier surrounding the tree canopy suddenly parted, creating a passage.

The girl in golden robes was overjoyed at the sight: "I have been silent in this place for tens of thousands of years, and I can finally go out and see the light of day again!"

"Fellow Daoist of the Human Race, please summon that Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire again. Otherwise, without a vessel, my spiritual essence will quickly be extinguished and dissipate once I enter the outside world."

"At that time, I will merge with your spiritual fire, and then there will be no more worries. In addition, I can also help your spiritual fire advance."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming hesitated and asked the Old Demon Qingyang, "Old Ghost, is this true?"

"Hmm, we can give it a try. I've never seen what it's like before. Anyway, this place is inside Mount Sumeru, and there are powerful human beings outside to oversee it, so nothing should go wrong," the old demon Qingyang said after a moment's thought.
