Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

Ten suns? Nine golden crows!

Xu Qing's expression suddenly turned solemn. Ten suns in one sky, Kuafu died chasing the sun, and Houyi shot down nine of them.

Di Jun used this as a pretext to wage war against the Wu tribe, which was the trigger for the second Lich War.

Now that nine golden crows have emerged together, it signifies that the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King is about to begin.

The war between the two races will cause immense suffering and death, and humanity will be greatly affected. Hongjun may also emerge from seclusion. Even putting all that aside, he still wants to... seek revenge!

Kill the Kunpeng, shatter the Lingxiao Palace!

Before the war, he couldn't possibly have taken the Heavenly Court by himself, but once the war started, he had plenty of ways to do so.

The second and third brothers still have a wisp of their divine soul in Hongjun's hands, so it is not advisable for them to take action in this matter.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing sent a telepathic message to his two elder brothers to say goodbye, and then transformed into a streak of light and left.

"Let's go check on Kuafu first," Xu Qing awakened his main body and sent him to Buzhou Mountain to meet up with his clone.

The method of creating a clone involves creating an additional body, but the consciousness remains singular. At this moment, Xu Qing's consciousness is in the Blood Sea clone, while his main body is similar to a magical artifact that can be remotely controlled, but it has no independent consciousness.

At the bottom of the Blood Sea, Xu Qing, dressed in white, who had been asleep for a long time, slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was somewhat dazed. He withdrew the Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the God-Slaying Spear and flew towards Mount Buzhou.

Xu Qing, dressed in red, also flew to Buzhou Mountain. Di Jun was probably observing from the shadows at the moment. His clone was only at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, and he could not defeat him by force. He should go and inform the Wu Clan first!

The first Wu tribe member Xu Qing had ever met since birth was Kuafu. If possible, he hoped to protect this polite giant.

Nine golden crows roamed freely in the sky, squandering divine fire to their heart's content. Wherever they passed, the land was scorched, the earth cracked, rivers dried up, and all living beings suffered.

Meanwhile, Emperor Jun sat in his palace, his aura several times more magnificent and powerful than before, observing the actions of the nine golden crows using the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique.

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more..."

According to the jade disc that Di Jun obtained by chance, by using one's own body as a magic weapon and containing fortune, one can achieve sainthood in a different way.

Di Jun didn't believe it at first, but because the material was similar to the Jade Disc of Creation, he tried to draw Qi into his body. And just as the Qi entered his body...

He actually got stronger!

As he felt his power gradually increase, Di Jun was overjoyed, almost to the point of madness. But soon, waves of intense pain shot through his body, pulling him from his dream.

Using oneself as a magic weapon... a magic weapon...

Di Jun pondered, and disregarding Xi He's objections, placed himself into the refining furnace, while Bai Ze manipulated the furnace from the outside using refining techniques to strengthen his physical body.

True Fire of the Sun, True Fire of Samadhi, Divine Fire of the Six Ding, Fire of the Seven Sins, Fire of the Nine Immortals...

Di Jun used every flame he could find these days, scorching himself daily and suffering countless torments in the sunless furnace.

Finally, hard work pays off!

Di Jun successfully absorbed most of the Heavenly Court's fortune, leaving only a small portion to suppress the turbid and malevolent energy generated during the Heavenly Court's cultivation and battles.

His strength improved by leaps and bounds, and his physical body and supernatural powers were almost heaven-reaching. In the entire Heavenly Court, even Kunpeng was no match for him. However, he did not become a saint!

Not enough luck! Not enough luck at all!

With his strength stagnating, Di Jun nearly went mad.

A cruel and greedy glint flashed in his eyes. He couldn't wait any longer. Luck... I need more.

In order to increase the fortune of the Demon Court, Di Jun used these nine golden crows as pawns.

It doesn't matter. Apart from Lu Ya, who was born to Xi He, I don't care about the others. After I become a saint and unify the prehistoric world, I can have as many offspring as I want from the demon race.

Therefore, when he calculated that his nine sons would be shot down by Hou Yi because of their playfulness, he chose to add fuel to the fire.

The nine sons were originally under some control, but later Emperor Jun removed them all for various reasons.

Later, the phrase "ten days on the same sky" came about.

At this moment, Di Jun was just waiting for Hou Yi to kill his nine sons, and then use that as a pretext to start a war.

According to his calculations, if the war were to start in this way, the morale of the demon race would reach its peak, and the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array would also reach an unprecedented level.

As long as I win the first battle, I can accumulate more good fortune, and then even Houtu will be powerless against me.

Di Jun pondered, then turned his gaze once more to the illusory scene before him, his eyes burning with intensity, and licked his lips.

Good boy, burn it, burn it...

Meanwhile, the nine golden crows, thinking they had escaped unnoticed, were now happily wandering around.

It flapped its wings and let out a loud cry.

"Fourth brother, come quick! This place is so much fun!"

"Big brother, I need to go here!"

"Ninth Brother, stay close to us."

"..."

As they flew, they came to a forest, where the trees reached the sky and herds of animals roamed.

"Hehe, this place is fun. Look at all this wood, it withered as soon as I arrived."

A golden crow circled in the sky, forcefully releasing divine fire, seemingly showing off to its brothers.

"What's the big deal? Watch me."

Upon hearing this, the other golden crow immediately became somewhat unconvinced and flew to the other side of the forest to unleash its divine fire.

"Look, these logs are burning."

"Yeah, look at that rabbit, it's practically burnt to a crisp, but it's still squealing, hahaha."

Another golden crow came over, gave the second golden crow a boost, and then started playing around by itself.

Finally, all nine golden crows gathered around, taking pleasure in burning trees and destroying forests, and mocking the miserable state of the beasts, finding this a great place to play.

"This is so much fun! This is so much fun!"

……

Kuafu was patrolling the outskirts of the Wu tribe's territory as usual when he suddenly saw flames shooting into the sky in the distance.

Although some ancestral witches of the current witch clan have given birth to primordial spirits, ordinary witches still only have physical bodies.

Kuafu was no exception. He looked into the distance, but could only see nine large birds in the sky burning the forest on which his tribe depended for survival.

"Those wretched demons, they're here again!"

Wielding his snake staff, Kuafu led several of his people toward the firelight.

The forest was not far from where Kuafu was, and soon, Kuafu came into the sight of a golden crow.

"Brother, there's a witch clan member over there, and it looks like they're coming for us. Should we..."

The golden crow was originally at the edge of the forest, so it was the first to see Kuafu and sense his presence. It unconsciously shrank its neck and informed its elder brother.

Upon hearing this, the oldest and strongest Golden Crow flew towards the edge, spreading its divine sense to sense the aura of Kuafu and the Wu Clan behind him.

One is at the peak of the Great Luo realm and three are at the middle stage of the Great Luo realm. Among the nine brothers, my second brother and I are at the late stage of the Great Luo realm, my third, fourth and fifth brothers are at the middle stage of the Great Luo realm, and the rest are at the early stage of the Great Luo realm.

The Great Golden Crow compared the strengths of both sides and felt that it was not without the power to fight. It also thought that it was fast enough that it could run away even if it couldn't win, so it said...

"Hmph, Father has never allowed us brothers to go out and play. We finally managed to sneak out this once, are we going to run away as soon as we see the Witch Clan?"

"Our father looks down on us, always thinking we're just playing around. We're determined to do something serious to show him!"

"Brothers, follow me and kill this hairless monkey! Let Father know how powerful we are!"

These words struck a chord with the golden crows, who flapped their wings and spoke up.

"Great! Great! That's wonderful!"
