The Great World: Rise from Liuyu

Because Liu Jingshan knew very well in his mind that if they really arrived in Beicang City, the Liu family must have a strong man other than Liu Bai to take charge.

Although Rongtian Realm is not considered a strong man at all, he has finally touched the edge of the Three Days Realm, so he can still say something.

Of course, it would be even better if Liu Qingtian could also break through, so the next matter was directly handed over to the second master of the Liu family, Liu Zong, while the others, including Liu Ming, went into seclusion to break through.

Liu Zong had no objection to this. After all, his current cultivation was at a relatively flat state. Even with the help of elixirs, he could not touch the threshold of Rong Tian Realm, so he was most suitable for doing these trivial matters.

As for Liu Bai himself, he would certainly not sit around doing nothing. After taking out all his things, he left Liucheng the next day and headed towards Beimingyuan...

Black Nether Abyss, a forbidden place that everyone in the Northern Spirit Realm fears, but in Liu Bai's eyes now, it is actually no different from an ordinary place. That is, his cultivation level is far higher than that of the spirit beasts here, so they will not provide experience points and beast soul points at all. Otherwise, he would not mind killing his way in.

Liu Bai spread his spiritual sense and moved forward, and soon he found an interesting place.

This was a giant black tree that looked as if it had been burned by some kind of fire, and at the top of the tree, Liu Bai saw a skeleton of a person who had been burned to death.

The reason why he was said to have been burned to death was that half of the skeleton was charred black, and even the bones showed some signs of atrophy. This would only happen after death if someone was burned by some powerful spiritual fire.

"Spirit insect tribe, sky insect..."

"A poor fellow who was burned to death by the Nine Nether Bird because of his greed."

Liu Bai looked at the corpse in front of him and shook his head. He wondered if someone in some parallel universe had traveled through time and space and been reborn as this guy to live a new life.

Soon, Liu Bai put aside the inexplicable thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind. Since he had already come here, he thought that he should be not far from the location of the Nine Nether Bird.

He did not touch the things above, and even the surrounding soul-eating bees did not notice that someone had come. Accompanied by a rainbow of light, Liu Bai's figure disappeared into the vast mountains in an instant.

Liu Bai quickly found the huge basin mentioned in the original book. The ground there was indeed charred black, as if it had been burned by flames. The entire wide basin was covered with piles of white bones, all of which fell towards the center of the basin in a strange posture.

Following the direction of the bones, I saw a huge black volcano protruding in the center of the basin, and on the top of the mountain there was a sunken dark area, which was like a devil's giant mouth swallowing everything.

Liu Bai knew that the bird egg that the Nine Nether Bird transformed into after failing to survive the tribulation was inside the crater. It had been covered by black volcanic rocks, and it was difficult for ordinary people to detect its existence.

Liu Bai was not like Muchen in the original novel. He had a copper plate with the Nine Nether Bird recorded in his hand, and he had no intention of trying to make mistakes. He shot out a beam of Golden Crow True Fire, which instantly covered the space inside the crater.

The next moment, as if provoked, a huge black volcanic rock cracked open, and a ball of black flame burst out, directly forcing towards the Golden Crow True Fire, as if trying to drive the former out of its territory.

Whether it is the Nine Nether Bird or the Nine Nether Underworld Bird, their essence is a yin-attributed spiritual beast, and their Nine Nether Fire and Nine Nether Underworld Fire are naturally also yin-attributed flames.

However, the Golden Crow True Fire is exactly the opposite. It is the most yang true fire. It can be said that it is a mortal enemy of the Nine Nether Fire. Naturally, a fight is inevitable when the two meet.

And at the moment when this black Nine Nether Fire appeared, Liu Bai had already seen that inside the cracked black stone, a black giant egg about ten feet in size was floating in the flames.

This black egg is dark and smooth all over, with inconspicuous but extremely obscure and mysterious lines on the surface of the eggshell. If you look closely, you can find that those lines are like a mysterious black bird spreading its wings to protect the black egg.

"Awake?"

Feeling the increasingly strong breath of life in the black egg, Liu Bai realized that the Nine Nether Bird, which had been dormant in the egg, had awakened.

hum!

As the Nine Nether Bird awakened, the entire black egg began to emit bursts of humming sounds, and as waves of spiritual energy were transmitted, Liu Bai discovered that the sky above his head had turned dark again...

"Damn it, this little sparrow is not going to continue to survive the tribulation, is it? That would be courting death!"

Liu Bai's face was full of surprise. Although the Nine Nether Bird in the original novel also behaved so irritably and anxiously when it appeared, Liu Bai couldn't let her continue like this.

After all, he is different from Muchen. Liu Bai does not need the spirit of a Nine Nether Bird. What he needs is a complete Nine Nether Bird with a physical body that has successfully evolved into a divine beast after passing the Heavenly Stage...

With a thought, Liu Bai released the Innate Five Spirit Disk in an instant, and then directly covered the black egg, completely isolating her from the outside world. This caused the thunder and calamity clouds that had begun to gather to dissipate because they could not find their target.

The next moment, Liu Bai's spiritual consciousness invaded the black egg, and he suddenly felt as if he had entered a dark world full of flames.

In the flames, a figure gradually emerged, followed by a huge wave of fire rushing towards this part of his consciousness.

A five-colored glow appeared in the flames. No matter how it burned or exploded, it could not be shaken. Soon, this part of Liu Bai's consciousness revealed his figure, and he looked at the Nine Nether Bird hiding in the black flames from a distance.

"Human, get out!"

A pleasant voice sounded in Liu Bai's ears, but the words shouted out were so violent.

"Haha, Jiuyouque, how about we make a deal. You submit to me, and I'll help you get through the heavenly tribulation. I think you should know very well in your heart that it is impossible to get through this heavenly tribulation of transcending spirit and becoming a god by your own strength, no matter how many times you try."

"Moreover, considering your current condition, if you fail again this time, you really won't have a second chance..."

The surroundings fell into dead silence. After Jiuyou heard what Liu Bai said, she knew very well that every word he said was true. However, as the young patriarch of the Jiuyou clan and also the most talented person in the Jiuyou clan, her pride would not allow her to submit to a tiny human!

"Give up on this idea. The Jiuyou clan will never submit to weak humans like you!"

Along with these words, a clear bird cry was heard. The bird cry turned into a sound wave, spreading rapidly, and then hit the colorful rays of light outside Liu Bai's body, and was instantly absorbed and dissipated.

This scene made the giant bird in the flames' pupils shrink again. The aura emitted by the human in front of her made her feel an extreme danger.

Maybe this time I really can't escape...

Liu Bai scratched his head in distress. It seemed that it was difficult to tame this little wild bird simply by talking. This method was not suitable for him... He was best at the simple and rough method.

"Given your current situation, you have no right to call me weak, right?"

"Besides, even ants try to survive. Are you really willing to die in such a miserable place, without a sound or a trace, without even the chance to see your family again?"

Jiuyou choked instantly, as if a stone was blocking his throat, and he could no longer utter those tough words.

After a long while, a word came out from the black flame.

"I will never recognize a human as my master!"

Although he still spoke firmly, he no longer had the determination to die that he had at the beginning.

"I don't like to enslave others. I believe that equality can bring friendship. We can treat each other equally, just like friends who help and support each other." Liu Bai said sincerely.

"Humph, humans are all cunning. Unless you help me survive the catastrophe right now, I will never believe a word you say!"

Liu Bai smiled slightly and said, "Of course. I heard that spirit beasts of your level can sign a bloodline link with humans. This is the fairest contract. As long as you sign such a contract with me, I will immediately help you survive this catastrophe!"

"impossible!"

As soon as Liu Bai finished speaking, he heard Jiuyou's somewhat sharp voice.

Then he continued in a somewhat frustrated tone, "You said you didn't come to me on purpose. You're such a cunning fellow, you even know about blood connection. You must have already made me your target, and you came here to trick me!"

Well... this is actually not wrong. After all, since traveling to this world, Liu Bai has been thinking about how to tame this little Nine Nether Bird, so Liu Bai can't refute it at this time.

The so-called blood link is a method that only races with the blood of ancient mythical beasts possess.

To put it simply, it is to connect the blood of spiritual beasts and humans through a special method. The benefit of this will allow humans to possess the abilities of spiritual beasts. This should be considered a more advanced way of acquiring abilities than simple refining.

The only downside is that from then on a close connection will be formed, and if one party dies, the other will also die.

In fact, Liu Bai was hesitant at the beginning whether to do this or not. After all, if something unexpected happened to Jiuyou, wouldn’t he also be in trouble?

But after thinking about it, I realized that my worries were unnecessary.

Not to mention Jiuyou's strength and talent after evolution, just to say that as long as she doesn't seek death, with Jiuyou's strength and background after surviving the heavenly tribulation, she will definitely be safer than herself.

In other words, in the early stage, Jiuyou will only be his strongest helper, and if there is a problem that even she cannot solve, then there is a high probability that he will not be able to escape.

But Liu Bai is not stupid, so how could he let himself fall into such a deadly situation?

As for when you grow up in the future, you won’t have to worry about this problem anymore.

Seeing the somewhat agitated Nine Nether Bird, Liu Bai did not say any more nonsense, but directly took out his trump card...

With a wave of his hand, a crystal ball wrapped in colorful light appeared in his hand.

Inside the crystal ball, a ball of golden liquid was wriggling slowly as if it had life, and an extremely mysterious wave was emanating bit by bit.

"Is this the essence and blood of a divine beast?!" Jiuyou shouted excitedly again.

It was no wonder that Jiuyou was so excited. After all, if she could have the blood essence of a divine beast to assist her, she would have a 90% chance of breaking through the shackles, becoming a spirit, awakening her ancient bloodline, and making the leap from a fish to a dragon...

In fact, Liu Bai also felt a little puzzled when he was reading books in his previous life. With Jiuyou's identity, why did he appear in a small Beiling territory and fail to survive the tribulation here?

With the strength of the Jiuyou clan, facing the daughter of their clan leader, who is also the most talented little princess with the blood of the ancient phoenix, they just don't care and let her go out there to overcome the tribulation and become a god?

No matter how you think about it, this doesn't make sense...

Of course, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, the fact is already like this, so it is useless to think too much. After all, as the old saying goes: existence is reasonable.

So Liu Bai didn't dwell on these things, but continued to look at the little black bird that had excitedly rushed in front of him...

At this time, Jiuyou was only the size of a palm, and did not have the domineering aura of the super celestial beast ranked eleventh on the Ten Thousand Beasts List. Instead, it looked very cute, like a real little house sparrow, jumping in front of Liu Bai.

"The essence of a divine beast, and it is the essence of some top-level flying divine beast. I can smell the blood of an ancient super divine beast..."

Jiuyou at this time is completely different from the description in the original novel. You should know that in the original novel, when she just met Muchen, this little sparrow was very arrogant. Even when she was suppressed by the other party with the Immortal Divine Page, she was still very unruly.

But when she first heard about the Beiming Dragon Kun's blood essence at the Beicang Spiritual Academy, she immediately lost her composure and clamored like a little girl for Muchen to get it for her.

Now that such a large drop of Beiming Dragon Kun's blood is placed in front of her, the impact on this little sparrow will naturally be greater.

"Oh, it seems you have a very sensitive nose. This is the blood essence of Beiming Dragon Kun, which is indeed a top-level flying beast, and it also possesses the dual super bloodlines of the dragon clan and Kunpeng!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 122 Overcoming the Tribulation

Jiuyou naturally knew about the divine beast Beiming Longkun, and he also knew how much benefit the other party's essence and blood could bring to him.

"What have you thought about it?" Liu Bai looked at the silent little black bird and asked lightly.

"Despicable human..." Jiuyou's voice was full of resentment, but the tangled emotions were clearly visible.

Blood connection must be voluntary on both sides, and for a spirit beast like the Nine Nether Bird to put aside its dignity and willingly establish a blood connection with humans is simply an insult in her eyes, so she would never do such a thing even if it meant death.

But the current situation makes Jiuyouque unable to make a decision because she doesn't want to die.

Although the divine beasts are arrogant and look down on weak humans, when faced with slavery, few of them are willing to die, especially when the situation is not as serious as imagined.

If Liu Bai had not proposed that Jiuyou Bird recognize him as his master at the first time, then Jiuyou's resistance might have been even more intense. But for now, a blood connection is at least better than being enslaved, right?

It's like doing business. You start by offering a very high price, and then find an opportunity to give customers a discount. Then customers will be more likely to accept it...

What's more, Liu Bai is not just talking big, he actually offers benefits.

"It's not despicable, right? It's just mutual growth. I don't think it's a bad thing for you to have a blood connection with me..." Liu Bai said with a smile.

"Hmph! Stop pretending. Let's not talk about anything else for now. Although you humans can increase your lifespan through cultivation, unless you cultivate to an extremely high level, you will definitely be the first to die a normal death." Jiuyou said indignantly.

"Maybe. Then give me your decision now." Liu Bai waved his hands, looking impatient.

"you……"

Jiuyou was so angry when he saw this that he gritted his teeth again.

However, Liu Bai was protected by colorful rays of light all over his body, and even the Nine Nether Fire had no effect on him, which made Jiuyou secretly hate him and feel helpless at the same time.

"This human is quite capable. Maybe it will be good after connecting with his bloodline..."

When a person starts to find excuses for something in her mind, it means that she has accepted it in her heart.

Of course, the same goes for Jiuyou, the little black bird.

After taking a deep breath, Jiuyou regained his composure, looked at Liu Bai, and said in a deep voice: "I can promise you, but I also hope that you can do what you say and help me survive the heavenly tribulation!"

"Of course!" Liu Bai agreed directly. "After our bloodline is linked, we will truly live and die together. Even for my own sake, I will not let anything happen to you."

"There is one more thing I want to remind you. This blood link must be performed by me. You just need to cooperate obediently. If there is the slightest resistance or hesitation in your heart, it will lead to the failure of the link. Moreover, there is only one chance for this kind of link. If it fails, we will never be able to link again." Jiuyouque reminded.

"Don't worry, just do it." Liu Bai nodded, and then his figure dissipated and returned to the body.

When he opened his eyes again, Liu Bai discovered that the vague black giant bird pattern on the black egg began to move slowly. Black flames overflowed from the pattern, and then slowly turned into a black vortex in the air.

"Pour your blood into this vortex."

Jiuyou's voice came from the black egg.

Hearing this, Liu Bai pointed his finger, and a stream of scarlet blood shot out from his fingertips and fell into the vortex burning with black flames.

Chi Chi.

The blood was stained with the black flame vortex, and suddenly bursts of white mist emerged, and then slowly merged into it. It was swallowed up by the vortex bit by bit and flowed into the pattern under the vortex, occupying half of the black flame pattern.

A solemn look flashed across the eyes of the Nine Nether Bird in the black egg at this moment, and then a black light flashed between its eyebrows, and a stream of dark blood flew out. If you look closely, you can find that there are tiny black flames burning in the blood.

This dark blood was also swallowed by the vortex and finally merged into the black pattern, occupying the other half.

hum.

The two streams of blood each occupied half of the black flame pattern. Then the black flame pattern began to slowly circulate, and the two streams of blood came into contact with each other along the circulation of the pattern.

Bang!

The moment the two came into contact, Liu Bai and Jiuyou Que's bodies shook violently, but the attention of both the man and the bird was focused on the rotating black flame pattern.

Success or failure depends on this moment.
