Chapter 179 Fire crows fill the sky
The Golden Crow, one of the most powerful creatures in the world, has been the subject of countless legends since ancient times. It is even said that the sun in the sky is an ancient, sleeping Golden Crow.
Of course, the creature currently above the two of them was far from reaching that height, but it was no ordinary being either, as it was surrounded by the aura of a Venerable One, clearly indicating that it had reached the Venerable One level.
Although Shi An could handle it at this point, it wasn't necessary. After all, the two had only just begun their travels, and it would be unwise to rashly confront a Venerable, especially one as invincible as the Golden Crow.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, then simultaneously restrained their auras and watched it fly into the distance, leaving a long golden rainbow in the void.
"A Venerable One is actually staying here, brother. We'd better be careful!"
Watching the golden crow disappear into the horizon, Shi Hao turned to remind Shi An.
You must know that the great calamity outside the world has just passed. Every single Venerable in the Eight Domains has either disappeared or died. Apart from those few major sects, it is very difficult to find beings of this level again.
In contrast, the Primordial Treasure Realm has remained sealed to this day, unaffected by the great calamity, and must contain many powerful beings.
Shi An merely chuckled and then looked into the distance.
"Buzz!"
As soon as Shi An looked over, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar, causing the void to tremble. Then, an aura as powerful as a raging flood surged in, startling the two of them.
There, golden flames filled the sky, a vast expanse of heat. Even from a distance, the intense heat was palpable, as if a massive eruption of magma had dried up the heavens and earth.
The next moment, both brothers changed color and turned into a phantom, fleeing into the distance.
Because the golden light was actually made up of countless living beings, covering the sky and the earth, roughly estimated to be more than 100,000, all of them shining, like torches, with a magnificent momentum.
These are fire crows, a very powerful creature. Although they only have a small amount of golden crow blood, when so many of them come together, they are like a torrent sweeping across the sky, enough to terrify any living being.
Fire crows, mostly black with a few pale gold, breathe fire, their wings gleaming, soaring through the sky, burning with divine radiance.
Tens of thousands of fire crows wreaked havoc; regardless of their individual strength, they were enough to crush everything in their path.
"Brother, something's strange. They seem to be hunting."
"Hmm, let's not worry about that for now, let's avoid it later."
The two brothers dodged and weaved while analyzing the current situation.
After a long while, the two brothers finally managed to avoid the sky full of fire crows and arrived at the foot of a valley.
"There are so many fire crows, there's no way we can get close to their ancestral land."
"But that ancestral land clearly contains a treasure. Didn't you see it just now? There were Venerable-level Golden Crows there. If we could sneak in, we might be able to obtain the Golden Crow clan's precious techniques."
As soon as they landed, the two brothers heard some people whispering and realized what had happened.
"Why are they here?"
It was at this moment that Shi Hao realized that the few guys who were panting heavily were actually acquaintances—elites from the Upper Realm whom he had met on the Skybreaker not long ago.
However, they looked rather disheveled, having been chased for who knows how long; their robes were even charred.
Besides that, what surprised him was that he didn't see those noble ladies. Had they gotten separated?
Thinking it over, Shi Hao didn't plan to go out and acknowledge Shi An. Instead, after exchanging a glance with Shi An, he left silently.
However, whether by fate or something else, after many twists and turns, they actually arrived at the dwelling place of the Fire Crow Clan.
This is a giant city, inhabited by many creatures with human bodies and bird heads.
In the distance, numerous volcanic craters gurgle with molten lava, creating a scorching scene.
Surprisingly, although the place was unbearably hot, it also exuded a rich spiritual energy, making people feel hot and their pores open at the same time, a bittersweet experience.
"That's... subterranean fire liquid?!"
Suddenly, Shi Hao was startled. The surging waters inside those volcanoes were not all magma; some of them were actually molten lava.
Earth Fire Liquid, a type of fire-attribute spiritual liquid, is usually found in magma. It is both rare and difficult to extract. Unexpectedly, there is quite a lot of it here, which has gathered into eight spiritual pools. In particular, one of them is almost solidified into a lake.
Looking at the eight spirit pools, Shi Hao's eyes shone brightly. He felt a surge of heat in his chest, as his Supreme Bone sensed powerful divine energy and wanted to absorb it to further perfect and mature.
Seeing the glint in Shi Hao's eyes, Shi An was genuinely worried that his mischievous temper might flare up, so he quickly reminded him, "Little brother, don't be impulsive!"
"There are no fewer than a million fire crows and golden crows here. With our current strength, if we rashly touch those earth fire liquids, I'm afraid we'll have no choice but to ask God Liu to intervene."
"Phew~"
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao immediately came to his senses. However, he did not wake up because he wanted to ask Liu Shen for help, but because he did not want to become a shield for those geniuses in the Upper Realm.
It was clearly those people who provoked the Golden Crow, so why should he be made the scapegoat?
"Brother, let's go!"
Having figured this out, Shi Hao glanced at the giant city not far away and then made a suggestion to Shi An.
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, Shi An also glanced at the giant city not far away, and then left the place with Shi Hao.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the two brothers found a treasure trove. It was a small pool with a fragrant, white liquid inside, in which divine essence flowed. Not far away, vines grew luxuriantly.
This is a cave dwelling, but it has been abandoned for many years. There is only one pool, which is filled with stalactites, which are spiritual energy that has been materialized and emits fragrance.
Upon seeing the pool, Shi Hao immediately gulped down a large drink before entering it with Shi An.
This pool of stalactites was definitely the result of tens of thousands of years of accumulation, containing powerful spiritual essence, which made the two brothers feel as if they were bathed in divine light, and their whole bodies felt light.
"It's a pity it didn't evolve into Earth Milk, otherwise the effect would have been even better."
In the pool, Shi Hao muttered a dissatisfied remark.
"You!"
Seeing Shi Hao's smug expression of having gotten a good deal, Shi An couldn't help but shake his head, then closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
In fact, his time studying the middle section of the Original True Explanation not only gave him a different understanding of the previous realms, but also allowed him to completely set up the Zhou Tian Star Array within his body, putting him one foot in the Venerable Realm.
This spiritual milk might just be the right thing for him to break through to the Venerable realm.
While pondering, Shi An wholeheartedly devoted himself to cultivation.
At the same time, upon seeing Shi An enter into cultivation, Shi Hao also calmed his mind and focused on refining.
In an instant, the most essential part of this place transformed into two beams of white light, which merged into the bodies of the two brothers respectively.
Soon, the spiritual stone milk turned into clear water, and the two brothers absorbed all of its essence.
