The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 69: Golden Crow Bathed in Fire, Returning to the Void After Rebirth

"It's been nine years. Besides me, even Daoist Fellow Wangshu hasn't completely refined the Zhulong Dragon Pearl yet."

Leizhan's spiritual sense swept across the countless palaces in the Jinwu Cave Mansion, and then stopped above one of the huge palaces.

The palace was empty and silent, with only a beautiful woman in a snow-white dress sitting cross-legged there, with a white treasure in front of her that was so broken that it was almost unrecognizable.

The treasure is now only the size of a fist, but it still exudes an incomparably heavy and ancient aura.

"It's only the size of a fist..." Leizhan looked at the white treasure.

The former Zhulong Dragon Ball had long been broken into pieces, and the one placed in the Jinwu Cave was only one-third of its normal size.

Fairy Wangshu has been refining it for more than nine years, and now it is only the size of a fist.

"Based on Fellow Daoist Wangshu's refining speed, it will take at least seven or eight years. It seems that my second soul will have to break out of the shell first." Lei Zhan smiled and then withdrew his consciousness.

"My second soul is almost fully nurtured in the Golden Crow egg. It won't be long before it breaks out of the shell."

"Then let's continue comprehending the Great Dao!" Lei Zhan thought to himself, "Fellow Daoist Wangshu spread a message behind my back nine years ago, saying that once she completely refined the Zhulong Dragon Pearl, her divine and demonic body would be able to break through to the Return to Void stage."

"If this isn't a joke, but she really wants to use her strength to even the score with me... My current strength is still a little uncertain if I want to defeat her."

What Fairy Wangshu said before during her retreat was not said behind anyone's back. In fact, it is very likely that those words were said to Dui Lizhan. He has complete control over the entire Jinwu Cave Mansion, and naturally knows everything inside the Jinwu Cave Mansion.

Although it was an equal exchange at the beginning, in the long run, it is always more advantageous for the opponent to fight.

The mysterious young lady was forced to submit under the circumstances, and it was even very normal for her to feel dissatisfied.

If one assumes the utmost malice, unless Lei Zhan wants to stay in this Golden Crow Cave for countless years, then his own strength is the strongest basis for dealing with anything.

"Enlightenment... I first understood the Way of the Azure Sea and the Way of Fiery Fire. Over the past nine years, I have also fully comprehended the Way of Flowing Water and the Way of the North Wind."

"There are also four minor paths that I have gradually comprehended over the years. Now, based solely on my understanding of the Dao, I estimate that I am almost surpassing Master."

You have to know that the immortal Ju Hua, who has lived for millions of years, has only mastered seven or eight minor techniques, in addition to his deep understanding of the way of the sword.

Leizhan was thinking about it.

"The Great Dao. With my second soul and the cloud bed in the Golden Crow Cave, my affinity with the Dao of Fire has become terrifying."

"In fact, these nine years have not only allowed me to comprehend the Great Way of Fire, but also made my understanding of the Great Way of Fire almost catch up with the Great Way of the Gun."

"But maybe it's because I haven't fought enough with immortal cultivators in recent years. Even with the guidance of Hongxue's spear technique, I'm still a little behind in the fifth form of spear technique, the realm of the great way."

Leizhan felt helpless as he comprehended the top-notch spearmanship that was engraved deep into his soul.

At the beginning, he used his sudden enlightenment to master the fourth style of spearmanship in one fell swoop. Over the years, his understanding of the great way of spear has also deepened.

But it was as if he had hit a bottleneck, or perhaps it was because he hadn't fought with other cultivators for many years. He always felt that he was just a little bit away from fully comprehending the great way of the spear.

It's like there's a layer of window paper between us, hazy like looking at flowers in the fog, and we can't see clearly.

Compared to the Great Way of Spear and the equally slow-progressing Great Way of Kanshui, Leizhan's understanding of the fire attribute suddenly became extremely terrifying.

Over the years, thanks to the fact that his second soul was the unhatched Golden Crow, and the Golden Crow cloud bed in the quiet room, he had a strong understanding of the fire attribute and could easily comprehend the small paths.

In addition to the initial understanding of the Way of Fiery Fire, Leizhan also fully understood the Way of Golden Flame that he later realized.

And the three small paths that were understood later were all of the fire attribute!
He entered the Lihuo Dao directly in the second year of Leizhan's retreat. Now, eight years have passed, and he has also made great progress. He is even a little bit away from catching up with the Gun Dao and is not far from the Dao Domain level.

"The bloodline of a top-notch divine beast like the Golden Crow is truly the darling of heaven." Lei Zhan was immediately filled with emotion.

With the help of the second soul, even without the sudden enlightenment of the black bead, Lei Zhan had a premonition that among the three great ways he comprehended, the one that would first reach the realm of the great way would most likely be the Lihuo Great Way that came later.

……

Time passes, and another year of cold and heat has passed.

Leizhan appeared in the air above the treasure hall, his eyes fixed on the stone platform in the center of the hall.

The vast amount of rare objects and treasures in the entire treasure hall are all displayed intact.

The essence of those rare treasures had been lost over the endless years, and even if they could be sold at Tianbao Mountain for some Yuanli, the value would actually be greatly reduced. At most, it would only be worth a million Yuanli.

Lei Zhan had a large number of magic weapons in front of him, including more than ten fairy-level magic weapons. He didn't care about the million-yuan liquid at all.

It would be better to keep it in this treasure hall.

Even the nearly five million kilograms of Yuan Liquid were put into the lake under the Golden Crow Egg by Lei Zhan. Even though the Zhulong Dragon Pearl was gone, the essence of these rare objects and treasures were still absorbed by the Golden Crow Egg and Lei Zhan's second Yuan Soul, turning into the most solid foundation for cultivation.

"My second soul has been nurtured in the Golden Crow Egg for more than ten years. Now it is finally time to break out of the shell." Lei Zhan looked at the Golden Crow Egg, which was as big as a water tank and had an increasingly powerful aura, with anticipation on his face.

Having absorbed the essence of a vast amount of treasures and rare objects, Lei Zhan was somewhat unsure about the level of strength his second soul would reach when it first emerged from its shell.

suddenly.

"Click~~~"

A clear sound suddenly rang out in the hall, and then a series of clear sounds rang out, as if thousands of ice blocks on the rivers were shattered.

I saw the Golden Crow Egg filled with endless flames, and the flames became hotter and more vigorous.

At the same time, the golden eggshell-like layer was suddenly covered with cracks, and then all of it scattered on the stone platform.

The eggshell shattered, and flames with endless high temperature suddenly spread, burning so hot that all the treasures and strange objects in the hall, even the pool of essence liquid that still had most of it left, and even the broken golden eggshells, all turned into fuel in the sea of fire.

The temperature was so terrifying that even the space began to distort from the burning.

Suddenly, a golden bird only about ten feet in size appeared in the sea of fire. However, in an instant, the golden bird seemed to have cast a spell to change the sky and the earth, and suddenly became extremely huge.

The divine bird's body was several thousand feet long, massive, like a giant roc. Even before its wings were spread, it seemed to block out the sun. Every feather seemed to be made of pure gold, gleaming with a dazzling light, like burning flames flowing across its surface.

Under the golden bird, three terrifying giant claws were suspended in the sea of fire. Even without the slightest movement, the space seemed to be about to explode.

"Three-legged Golden Crow!" Lei Zhan looked at the huge golden bird that appeared in the sky and immediately smiled.

call.

The three-legged golden crow looked around and opened its mouth, immediately swallowing up the endless sea of fire emitting a terrifying temperature in the entire hall.

Boom~~~
It’s as if the world was just created.

The foundation accumulated over countless years has all transformed into the foundation of the Golden Crow Divine Bird itself at this moment.

The three-legged golden crow, which had been emitting an aura of the primordial spirit level, began to emit an aura that continued to rise after swallowing the endless sea of fire.

Middle stage of Yuanshen.

Late stage of Yuanshen.

The breath continued to surge without any pause.

The soul is perfect.

The initial stage of returning to the void!

The middle stage of Return to Void!

In just a moment, he reached the level of returning to the void.

The breath is still rising.

It was not until the aura of the three-legged golden crow reached the late stage of returning to the void that it slowly descended.

"It feels so good! It feels so good!"

"Powerful...stronger than ever before!"

The three-legged golden crow stood in the air and looked down disdainfully. Its current perspective was very different from usual.

The hall that seemed extremely spacious in the past now appears to be much smaller.

"Surprisingly... the moment my second soul appeared, it pushed my Divine Demon Body Refining cultivation to the late stage of Return to Void!"

The Golden Crow's fortress roared, and it spread its golden wings. "This, this accumulation of billions of years has now become the foundation of my cultivation."

"carefree!"

"At the Return to Void level, it can transform! Although it is not as good as those perfect Golden Crows born from the Sun Star, it is still a pleasant surprise."

Lei Zhan's mind moved, and the huge three-legged golden crow thousands of feet in the air suddenly turned into a human form.

He still looked the same, wearing a golden robe. Except for having a more domineering aura than the original body, everything else was the same as the original body.

"Hello, fellow Taoist." Leizhan's real body turned into a ray of light and immediately came to the front of the young man in golden clothes.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Lei Zhan in golden robe also spoke.

That is, both of them laughed.

The second soul and the original soul have exactly the same memories and thoughts. When they say "Hello, fellow Taoist" to each other, it is as if they are talking to themselves.

Leizhan simply wanted to ease the excitement in his heart through this playful way.

Wow.

With a thought, the golden robe Leizhan disappeared from the spot.

As soon as his second soul was born, Lei Zhan could feel that his understanding of fire had become clearer and more thorough.

Although the second soul reached the Return to Void level as soon as it was born, Leizhan's comprehension of the Tao was so powerful that even many celestial beings were far inferior to him, so he naturally had no problem controlling himself.

With just a thought, the second soul had already gone to the center of the cave and sat cross-legged on the cloud bed that helped to comprehend the fire element.

"The late stage of God and Demon's body refining and returning to the void..." The excitement in Leizhan's eyes had not completely subsided.

"My second soul has a deep foundation, and with the various foundations I have accumulated, I now have the capital to venture into the three realms!"

……

Late Return to Void was a reasonable estimate. This Golden Crow Egg's bloodline was already pure, and it had been nurtured for countless years with so many treasures. It wasn't as pure blood, but it was stronger than many, making it the most reasonable estimate.
