Chapter 50: The Immortal Lord Descends to the Lower Realm, Destroying the Sky-Swallowing Bird with a Palm!
"As long as she can absorb that barrel of medicinal liquid, our Spirit Hall will truly soar to the heavens!"
…
Clear Sky Sect, Sect Hall.
Unlike the other side, where everyone was nervously worried for Qian Renxue, the atmosphere here was completely different.
"Hmph, what a show!"
The Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect stared at the sky screen with a mocking expression.
"That baptism? Looks more like she's taking a bath to me!"
"She ate so many treasures yesterday and didn't level up at all. And now soaking in a bath will make her stronger?"
"Dream on!"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao immediately snorted coldly and chimed in:
"Exactly! This must be some trick that willow demon is using to confuse people!"
"Unlike my Brother Hao, who truly grew stronger by eating slop!"
"As for those treasures, what a complete waste."
"But luckily, my Brother Hao has already become a god."
However, just as Tang Xiao and the others were feeling smug, someone suddenly pointed toward a corner of the sky screen and shouted in shock:
"Wait… who is that?!"
Everyone immediately looked up.
At the edge of the screen, deep within the Great Wilderness, two figures were slowly approaching.
Although the distance was too far to see their faces clearly, their silhouettes alone carried an extraordinary aura that could be felt even through the screen.
"How is this possible?!"
"Wh… why would these two appear here?!"
After recognizing them, Sect Master Tang Xiao abruptly stood up, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.
The Second Elder, after a moment of shock, began trembling with excitement. He could barely speak coherently.
"No… no!"
"Sect Master, this is a heaven-sent opportunity for our Clear Sky Sect!"
"If Tang Hao can cling to these two…"
"Then the rise of our sect would be far beyond imagination!"
…
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
Core region.
"My Lord…"
The Beast God Di Tian stared at Qian Renxue on the sky screen as she prepared for the baptism. His golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly.
"That Qian Renxue absorbed so much energy, yet her soul power hasn't moved at all."
"But the blood essence inside her body has grown to an unbelievable level."
"Could it be that she has already begun cultivating according to that world's system?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena, whose expression was already solemn, nodded slightly.
"Correct."
"Her body is surrounded by surging blood essence, while her soul power remains unchanged. This should be the first stage of cultivation in that world's system: Blood Transformation."
Di Tian frowned slightly, still confused.
"But My Lord, earlier that human girl named Zhu Zhuqing had to shatter her soul rings and endure unbearable pain just to step onto that path."
"Why does Qian Renxue look completely comfortable instead?"
"She didn't even have to discard her soul power."
"Could it be…"
Suddenly, a scene from the sky screen resurfaced in Di Tian's mind, one that many people had overlooked.
It was a seemingly ordinary willow leaf drifting down from the willow tree and landing on Qian Renxue's forehead.
Because of that blessing, she had been able to withstand the crushing gravity of that region.
At first, he thought the blessing merely protected her from gravity.
But now it seems far more profound.
However, when faced with Di Tian's question, Gu Yuena did not answer.
Instead, she stared intently at the two figures that had suddenly appeared on the sky screen. Even her voice trembled slightly.
"As expected. I knew that willow tree was no ordinary existence."
"That chicken was never the village's guardian spirit."
"That willow tree is!"
"But what kind of terrifying existence could it be… to even attract that person to descend into the lower realm?"
…
At the same time, elsewhere.
Perfect World – Lower Realm Eight Regions, deep within the Great Wilderness.
"Skreee—!"
A sharp cry of a bird echoed through the sky, scattering the clouds.
The next moment, a terrifying demonic bird large enough to cover the sky flew overhead.
Its body was covered in green scales, and its wings stretched for thousands of meters.
Thick blood-red killing aura surrounded it, while its enormous eyes resembled two lakes of blood, radiating terrifying ferocity.
This was the pure-blooded archaic bird that had just casually devoured a million-person tribe: the Sky-swallowing Bird.
At this moment, the Sky-swallowing Bird flew through the sky in satisfaction, traces of the tribe's guardian spirit's blood still lingering at the corner of its beak.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, its gaze swept toward the wilderness below.
On the vast earth, two tiny figures were slowly walking forward.
One wore a green robe and a bamboo hat, carrying the refined aura of a wandering scholar.
Behind him followed a delicate young Daoist boy with a topknot.
Although the two looked like ordinary people who had accidentally wandered into the Great Wilderness, they emitted no powerful aura.
Yet, the Sky-swallowing Bird, a seasoned predator that had fought in the wilderness for years, instinctively sensed something strange.
"Two mortals?"
"How could they reach the depths of the Great Wilderness without being eaten?"
"Hmph. They must be carrying some treasure that hides their aura."
The giant bird's eyes rolled greedily.
"Humans with such delicate flesh must taste delicious."
"And that scholar's ethereal aura…"
"My instincts tell me that devouring the two of them would bring greater benefits than swallowing an entire ancient kingdom."
"What luck. I can't believe I encountered such an opportunity."
Thinking this, the Sky-swallowing Bird hesitated no longer.
Boom!
Its massive body trembled violently as it folded its wings and plunged downward like a meteor toward Jiang Chen and the young Daoist boy.
…
Lower Realm Eight Regions, deep within the Great Wilderness.
The vast earth was covered in towering ancient trees.
Yet, in this dangerous primeval forest, two figures walked leisurely, completely out of place.
The man walking ahead wore a green robe and a bamboo hat. Every step he took made no sound at all, as though the fallen leaves beneath his feet carried no weight.
Behind him, the small Daoist boy with the topknot and delicate appearance followed.
However, the boy now looked quite dissatisfied, his lips pouting.
"Master, you're moving way too slowly."
The boy kicked a stone by the roadside.
Although the motion looked casual, the kick shattered a massive ten-thousand-jin boulder into powder.
He continued grumbling:
"You're a mighty Immortal King giant, yet you're so slow."
"If those old monsters in the Immortal Domain who oppose you saw this, they'd laugh their heads off."
Hearing the complaint behind him, Jiang Chen stopped walking and glanced back at the boy.
He flicked his sleeve and said irritably,
"And you still have the nerve to complain?"
"The laws of the Lower Realm Eight Regions are incomplete. Its spatial barrier is thinner than a cicada's wing."
"My Dao incarnation has already suppressed all of its aura."
"But what about you?"
"You've eaten too many immortal pills and divine medicines in the Immortal Court. Your body is overflowing with energy."
"If your true body descended here, the moment your foot stepped into this world, half of the Lower Realm Eight Regions would collapse!"
"If I hadn't taken the effort to leave your real body in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and condense this Dao incarnation capable of carrying your soul…"
"I would have arrived long ago."
After being scolded by Jiang Chen, the Daoist boy shrank his neck and stuck out his tongue, no longer daring to complain.
After all, what Jiang Chen said was true.
However, just as the master and servant were arguing…
The bright sky suddenly darkened.
A nauseating foul wind swept across hundreds of miles.
Both of them looked up simultaneously.
High in the sky, a massive green demonic bird thousands of zhang in size was diving straight toward them.
