The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

Chapter 17 The Allure of the Vermilion Bird

"Fellow Daoist, my unparalleled divine power hasn't even been revealed yet, why did you run away?" Wei Chen said resentfully, riding on the back of the Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird's feathers are magnificent and colorful, with five main colors: red, yellow, blue, white, and purple. The five patterns cover its entire body, reflecting a dazzling array of colors.

Its head resembled a swallow, its neck a snake, and its tail was breathtakingly beautiful. It looked like thousands of feet long willow branches, colorful and dancing in the air.

Her wings were also exceptionally beautiful, each feather displaying five colors, drawing graceful dance patterns in the void.

At this moment, Wei Chen truly wanted to ride her for a lifetime, overcoming all the world's splendor and traversing the vast oceans and changing fields—

"Ah!" Zhuque snapped out of her daze, recovering from the euphoria of obtaining the supreme treasure. She transformed into human form and said with a hint of apology, "I was too excited to accept the supreme treasure for proving my Dao. Should we go back and fight our way back now?"

"Never mind! There will be plenty of opportunities later!" Wei Chen said nonchalantly. He was only slightly regretful that he hadn't used that earth-shattering divine power. But there would be plenty of opportunities later, so there was no need to rush.

"Fellow Daoist is wise. Once we return to our clan, if you wish to conquer the ferocious beasts, I can mobilize our clansmen to fight alongside you," Zhuque said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, his whim to go treasure hunting resulted in obtaining a supreme treasure and even winning over a primordial deity. This person was not only an unparalleled powerhouse but also possessed a primordial supreme treasure.

She couldn't describe her feelings right now; she was willing to fulfill any request Wei Chen had.

"No need. I am not a reckless brute who only knows how to fight." Wei Chen shook his head. The reason he wanted to unleash his great supernatural power was simply to test how strong he was.

He then went into seclusion to refine his supernatural powers and techniques. After these two great battles, he discovered that he had many shortcomings.

"Then let's do as you say, fellow Daoist—"

Suzaku smiled elegantly, thinking to himself, "If you're not a reckless fighter, then who is?"

"Is there anything else, fellow Daoist?" Zhuque asked, puzzled, seeing Wei Chen standing still.

A thought flashed through his mind: "Could this madman be planning to attack the other Beast Emperors?"

"Fellow Daoist, won't you give this emperor a ride?" Wei Chen asked.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful Zhuque frowned. As the leader of the Zhuque clan, the most noble and powerful clan leader in the prehistoric world, she controlled the life and death of billions of living beings. When did she become someone else's mount?

If Wei Chen hadn't been incredibly powerful and a great help to her Vermilion Bird Clan, she would have already unleashed a world-destroying black flame at him, instead of remaining silent like this.

The reason they carried Wei Chen in the air before was simply because of the urgency of the situation; cultivators don't have many such considerations. Now they're actually using her as a mount—how hateful!

Seeing Zhuque's unpleasant expression, Wei Chen knew he had broken a taboo and chuckled awkwardly, "I'm a newborn emperor, I misspoke, I misspoke for a moment, hehe..."

Having always acted as he pleased, he had completely forgotten what kind of being the Vermilion Bird was—a top-tier expert among the ancient masters. To actually use her as a mount? Wasn't that courting death?

"Hmph—" Zhuque snorted coldly. If she really believed Wei Chen's nonsense, then she would have lived for nothing for the past ten Yuanhui.

It was already incredibly lucky that he obtained the Primordial Measuring Ruler, but this guy actually got the Thunder Punishment Pearl as well.

Are these two treasures together? Do they really think she's a newborn deity who knows nothing?

Zhuque suspected that Weichen was born earlier than her, but he simply ignored the matter of the primordial beasts and had been searching for treasures.

She was certain that Wei Chen possessed an even more extraordinary treasure, related to the world-destroying divine power that Wei Chen had mentioned.

Only in this way can it be explained that Wei Chen doesn't value top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Wei Chen must have at least three treasures comparable to innate supreme treasures, otherwise he would never have looked down on top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Even her Vermilion Bird Clan only possesses three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, including the flag she just acquired.

The Vermilion Bird Clan possesses three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, making them among the wealthiest clans in the primordial world.

It should be noted that many top-tier powerful clans in the prehistoric world possess only one supreme innate spiritual treasure, which is also the clan's heirloom.

This demonstrates the preciousness of top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Wei Chen actually looked down on a top-grade innate spiritual treasure! Just how rich is he?! The more Zhu Que thought about it, the more intense the flames of jealousy burned in her heart.

The sacred peak, hidden beneath the colorful garments, rippled slightly. The joy of receiving the flag was instantly replaced by the flames of jealousy.

Knowing he was in the wrong, and seeing Zhuque's increasingly grim expression, Wei Chen quickly apologized: "That's not what I meant. I just spoke without thinking. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist!"

"Hmph—" Zhuque snorted again, gaining a deeper understanding of Wei Chen's character.

I thought he was a person of high moral character, indifferent to fame and fortune. Now I realize that it was all an act.

He monopolized so many heaven-defying treasures and yet righteously declared that treasures are external things and that cultivation is the true essence—how hypocritical!

However, Suzaku didn't say it aloud; as the head of a clan, he was magnanimous.

He smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to apologize. Let's go."

Wei Chen is too important to the Vermilion Bird Clan, and she doesn't want to cause a rift!

"Good—" Wei Chen breathed a sigh of relief and summoned the Primordial Measuring Ruler, a ruler several meters long and wide, which floated in the sky hundreds of millions of meters above the ground.

"Fellow Daoist, please—" Wei Chen invited Zhu Que to ride the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

Zhuque smiled faintly and did not refuse.

The speed of the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler was extremely fast, more than twice as fast as the speed of the Vermilion Bird's flight.

The two sat on the futons, and Wei Chen noticed that Zhu Que was no longer as enthusiastic towards him as before, and even harbored a bit of inexplicable hostility.

Wei Chen thought she was still angry about being made a mount. He smiled wryly and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you still blaming me?"

"No, I am not a petty person, so why would I hold a grudge over such a trivial matter?" Zhuque said with a calm smile.

What she hated was why Wei Chen had obtained so many treasures, yet Heaven hadn't punished him by striking him down.

As the patriarch of a top-tier clan in the primordial world, she only possessed one innate treasure.

Heaven is truly unjust!

Zhuque felt an inexplicable jealousy towards Weichen and really wanted to snatch all of his treasures.

"Why is that?" Wei Chen asked, puzzled. Apart from this one incident, he had not offended her in any way.

Zhuque's fiery red lips moved, but she ultimately remained silent. Prying into someone else's privacy was a grave taboo. It could even be considered a provocation, worthy of a fierce battle.

Wei Chen laughed and said, "If you have any complaints about me, please speak up. I am not a petty person."

"Not really."

"I don't believe you. You must have some misunderstanding about me. Tell me, and I assure you, I won't be angry," Wei Chen solemnly assured him.

"Is this true?"

"really!"

Having received the assurance, Zhuque was somewhat eager to try. Although she knew it was a major taboo, she really wanted to know. A primordial treasure! Even if she couldn't obtain it, just seeing it would be good, especially since she had received the assurance.

He immediately looked into Wei Chen's eyes and asked, "How many treasures did you obtain, fellow Daoist? Did you even obtain a Primordial Treasure?"

"Uh!" Wei Chen was taken aback. He didn't expect Zhu Que to ask such a question. It turned out that he had obtained too many treasures, which aroused jealousy.

However, how many treasures I obtain seems to have nothing to do with others, right?

I am favored by Heaven, and I am destined to possess innate treasures. Is there anything wrong with that?

Wei Chen wasn't angry. After all, if he didn't have any treasures while others had more than they could use, he wouldn't be in a good mood either.

He smiled faintly and said, "Not many. If you count them, well, there are only two or three items in total."

"Hiss!" Zhuque took a deep breath, his chest heaving. Although he had some guesses before, he wasn't sure, after all, supreme treasures were extremely rare.

But now, hearing Wei Chen's admission, and so calmly at that, Zhu Que really didn't know what to say!

Doesn't this guy know how many powerful beings in the primordial world don't even have a single high-grade innate spiritual treasure?

You actually got three items? You deserve to die! Heaven is unjust, why doesn't it send down divine punishment to strike him dead?

The Vermilion Bird's black, gem-like eyes were slightly flushed with red, and her fiery red lips twitched incessantly. Her delicate, pink fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly.

At this moment, Zhuque's feelings were indescribable. She truly wished she could kill Weichen and take everything from him.

"Fellow Daoist, these are all external things, there's no need to care so much." Wei Chen was extremely pleased with the beautiful scenery. He added fuel to the fire, wanting to fully appreciate the Vermilion Bird's allure.

really……

Zhuque was tall and slender, with fair and delicate skin that radiated a crystalline glow. Her colorful dress accentuated her perfect figure, highlighting its curves.

Her breathing was rapid, her bright eyes were flushed, and her delicate nose was pert. Unconsciously, she stuck out her small, fragrant tongue and licked her moist, sensual, fiery red lips.
