While Yun Lintian was immersed in the fusing process, everyone returned to their sense and looked at each other in dismay. The Vermilion Bird's Origin Blood was the most important inheritance of the Fire Cloud Rat Clan, and now it was "snatched" away by the outsider. What were they going to do now?
"Grandma… This…." Huoyun Yanyan swallowed nervously.
As someone who stood closest to the Vermilion Bird's Origin Blood, Huoyun Yurou had different thoughts from others. She could feel that the Origin Blood had been waiting for this moment for a long time. This made her recall her son's words again. Yun Lintian was the chosen one that the mysterious woman said.
Thinking of this, Huoyun Yurou heaved a sigh of relief. She was glad that she decisively made a decision to follow Yun Lintian. At least, it was she who took the initiative to make the oath. Otherwise, the meaning would be changed entirely if she swore an oath after Yun Lintian had completely fused with the Origin Blood. It would mean she had no choice but to summit because their inheritance had been taken away.
"This is Lord Vermilion Bird's will. It's not something we could interfere with." Huoyun Yurou said calmly.
Seeing how calm she was, everyone began to calm down as well. Anyway, they could not control the Origin Blood. It was useless to say or do anything now.

"Hello?" Yun Lintian asked out randomly, as he believed there should be someone here.
It was as he expected. A cluster of gentle flames suddenly burst out in the vacant space a few steps away from Yun Lintian. A beautiful woman in red emerged behind the flame curtain. This woman was so beautiful and enchanting that one could not look straight at her.
Her long, pitch-black hair was like a curtain of night, dancing without the wind as she slowly floated. Her eyes were exceptionally brighter, dazzling with a faint red light. She was wearing a red dress that exposed half of her bountiful chest and flawless long legs.
Since coming to this world, Yun Lintian had seen a lot of beautiful women, but the woman before him was equally unique as Bai Xiaoyun, the White Tiger God. She seemed to possess innate noble that made anyone feel inferior when looking at her.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, the Beyond Heaven King's successor. My name is Yan Siqi, the last Vermilion Bird God." The woman said softly. Her voice was so gentle that it made all Yun Lintian's nerves extremely relaxed.
Yun Lintian hurriedly responded. "Greetings, Senior Yan. My name is Yun Lintian."
Yan Siqi stared at Yun Lintian for a moment and nodded her head gently. "Very good. You've already obtained three Beyond Heaven Relics." She changed her tone as she spoke further. "However, this speed is too slow. You have to step up and find all of them as soon as possible."
Yun Lintian nodded his head heavily. "I understood, Senior. I will try my best."
"Your best isn't enough. You need more than that." Yan Siqi interjected. "Let's not continue on this. I don't have much time left… Since you've found my Origin Blood, it means you've already arrived in the Western Continent. Tell me, what's the current situation out there?"
Yun Lintian didn't waste his time and went straight to the topic. He started with the overall situation of the Azure World and the Western Continent all the way to the Fire Cloud Rat Clan's current situation.
Listening to this, Yan Siqi sighed softly. "They've suffered a lot… If you have a chance, please help them a bit. They came to this world because of me."
"Don't worry, Senior. I will." Yun Lintian responded readily. He paused for a moment and asked. "Senior, you must know Hongyue, right?"
"Hongyue? You mean the First Princess of the Divine Moon Clan? Of course, I know her. Why did you ask this?" Yan Siqi was surprised.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She's with me right now. And she just told me that I cannot know about your identity or else I would face a calamity." Yun Lintian explained.
"What did you say? She's with you? How….?" Yan Siqi's brows involuntarily creased together as she asked.
"I used a portion of The Moon to stabilize her soul and brought her with me. She's now residing in the Land of Beyond Heaven." Yun Lintian replied calmly.
"You!… Do you know how stupid you are to make such a decision? Once you gave away even a tiny portion of any Beyond Heaven Relic, your Beyond Heaven King's Crown would never be fully recovered. Do you know that?" Yan Siqi said in a deep voice.
Yun Lintian was taken aback. He had no idea about this at all. He shook his head and said. "I don't know about this. However, it doesn't matter anymore since I already did it. Besides, I think it's worth it. Sacrificing a portion of power to save someone is not a bad choice, in my opinion. Not to mention it was her sister who sacrificed herself to create The Moon. This power belongs to her, to begin with."
Yan Siqi stared at Yun Lintian for a long time and let out a long sigh as she muttered. "It's no wonder you can be his successor. You two are really carved from the same mold."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly and did not say anything. As much as he wanted to know more about the previous Beyond Heaven King, he knew that she would never tell him. Hence, there was no point in asking about it.
"This is fine as well. She can deal with difficult problems you may face in the near future." Yan Siqi said with a serious expression. She went back to the previous topic. "What she said is true. However, as long as you didn't mention my name, you will be safe for the time being."
"I decided to appear here because I detected Sister Xiaoyun's bloodline in you."
