Shennong Dao Master

"I haven't fully restored yet, gah." The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird said blankly, "But as for the Qi fortune I promised you, I can still give you that, gah. Do you remember what I said? As long as you break through to the Fourth Grade in ten years... gah? Why do I feel like I've said this last time, and it was you who didn't want it, gah?"

Not fully restored? Zhao Xing looked at the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird and found that its feathers had all grown back.

But what's with its mental state, it seems a bit dazed.

"Senior, haven't your feathers grown out already?"

Zhao Xing suspected it had already recovered, and was just pretending to be foolish to avoid effort.

"Gah gah~" The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird suddenly laughed, its laughter somewhat manic: "My state, mysterious beyond measure~ How could mere mortals know?"

Zhao Xing nodded, "Then apart from the Qi fortune, can senior bestow me a few treasures?"

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird replied, "I can find you one, but you can choose from it."

Just one? That's too little!

Zhao Xing felt the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird was holding back.

"Senior, all these years, I've always remembered the oath I made with you back then, and I haven't slackened in my cultivation for a single day."

"I've been practicing diligently day and night, just to release you as soon as possible, senior."

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird opened its beak: "Gah gah, then how about two items?"

Zhao Xing inwardly chuckled, as expected!

It seems there's plenty of room for squeezing.

Everyone signed a contract back then promising our full effort, how could you hold back your strength?

"Now, in the dynasty I am in, a great turmoil is about to occur. If I don't have treasures to protect me, I might meet a violent end."

Zhao Xing said emotionally: "If I die, it doesn't matter much, but if I can't fulfill your wish, senior, I would die with regrets."

Torn emotions flickered in the eyes of the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird: "Gah gah gah, then three items."

Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said: "I've been cultivating for thirty-six years, have reached the Fourth Grade Primordial Soul Realm, and cultivated the first level of Derivation God Decision. With the many treasures bestowed by senior, I should be able to release you sooner."

The origin of the Derivation God Decision predates the recorded history of Great Zhou, and Zhao Xing estimated that the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird must have heard of it.

He was subtly hinting to the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird: You see, amazing cultivation geniuses like me, you might never find another, why not find me a few more treasures?

"Derivation God Decision? No wonder I feel your Life Soul has become much stronger, gah..."

"However, I can at most find three items for you, gah, but you can first tell me your requirements, and let's see if the treasures are in the same place, gah."

"If the timing is right, I'll fetch them for you, gah."

Seeing the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird say this, Zhao Xing also knew it must be at its limit.

One cannot kill the chicken to get the eggs.

"With your profound mana, senior, I naturally believe it's a cinch for you."

"But don't force yourself, the safety of senior should always come first. Even if you can't acquire so many treasures, senior, I will always be grateful for your kindness."

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird felt very pleased with Zhao Xing's compliments initially.

But upon hearing the latter part, its feathers suddenly bristled: "Who can't? You brat, how dare you look down on me?!"

"I dare not; I am just concerned for senior."

"Hmph, that's more like it. Go ahead and say, as long as it's here, I can get it for you at will."

Zhao Xing had prepared in advance and instantly said: "Senior, the first item, I need a treasure to guard against priests."

"The second item, I want a high-grade Soul Armor, the higher the better."

"The third item, senior can decide, as long as it can save my life, whatever senior gives, I will use."

Zhao Xing's purpose was very clear.

Because he feared encountering powerful priests the most.

Priests have many means, and are particularly good at targeting the soul.

The Ten Thousand Skill Avatar doesn't fear other methods, but priests have numerous ways to lock onto his Main Soul.

If all seven Main Souls are obliterated, everything ends, and all the Split Soul Bodies dissipate.

Additionally, high-grade priests can imprison or obliterate the Life Soul to Yi level.

That is to say, high-grade priests possess the ability to completely erase a person.

The Rebirth Star Monarchs of Great Zhou cannot even summon back the souls.

Just like Yang An.

Death is not terrifying.

Because for Zhao Xing, even with the death of his physical body, if he can transform into a Yin God Body, he still has a chance to return to the mortal realm in the future.

Other occupations find it challenging to kill a person into a state of void, but priests can.

If killed by a high-grade priest, then it's truly the end.

So, the first two treasures he wanted were to guard against priests and protect his Life Soul.

As for the third item, Zhao Xing had no specific requirements.

Setting rigid demands might lead the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird to not take the good ones if encountered, and provide a subpar one instead.

It has been lonely for tens of thousands of years, truly unpredictable.

"I understand, you wait here."

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird's body suddenly expanded, and its feathers glowed brightly. It opened its beak, and with each inhale and exhale, countless rainbows descended, swirling around it.

With its wings spread, Zhao Xing felt that every feather was brimming with the imprints of the Dao, those mysterious secret patterns were irresistible to gaze upon.

"Don't look!" The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird scolded. "Did I not say before, gah, this realm is mysterious beyond measure, how could you observe it?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Xing quickly closed his eyes.

The last time the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird expanded, showcasing its divine might, his realm was relatively low, and he couldn't make out anything significant.

Like an ant, unable to comprehend the pressure of an elephant.

Yet now, having completed Soul Refining and cultivated the first level of the Derivation God Decision, he could sense the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird.
