Xiao Jie took a deep breath, immersing his mind completely into the Sea of Consciousness, where the Golden Crow Visualization Map had already been completely constructed. The vast immortal power began to circulate in an ancient and sacred rhythm, communicating with the most yang and firm Fire Spirit Power between heaven and earth.

"Immortal Law - Golden Crow Transformation!"

Suddenly, a brilliant and dazzling golden light exploded around him. This light was not merely a simple beam but was formed by countless leaping, liquid-like Sun True Fire Runes.

His body stretched and transformed rapidly within the light, as his flesh seemed to be reshaped under high temperatures. Mysterious flame patterns appeared on the surface of his skin, which then transformed into splendid wings purely condensed from light and fire.

His hands transformed into extremely sharp, gleaming golden claws, while his head became enveloped in flowing golden flames, gradually forming the majestic shape of a bird’s head. His eyes were like two miniature suns, burning with incandescent brilliance. This entire process was akin to a phoenix nirvana, sacred and blazing, exuding an awe-inspiring majesty and heat that could not be directly gazed upon.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jie had transformed into a gigantic Golden Crow with a wingspan exceeding twenty meters, radiating iridescent light. His feathers seemed to be made of pure gold, with edges that danced with eternal, sacred flames. Apart from being slightly smaller in stature and lacking a bit of natural harmony in light compared to Xi Huang, he was almost indistinguishable!

He spread his enormous radiant wings and lightly flapped, sending a wave of scorching air downward, propelling his massive body lightly and gracefully into the sky, flying towards the sky above the Red Flame Peak.

This feeling of transforming into a Golden Crow was indeed very magical, entirely different from the feeling of transforming into a White Dragon and controlling wind, water, thunder, and ice, yet it provided an equally incredible experience.

He felt as if he became the embodiment of light and fire, and with every flap of his wings, he could clearly feel the omnipresent Fire Spirit Power in the space cheering and submitting to him.

His vision became incredibly broad and sharp, easily detecting minute changes in heat sources below. A sense of pride derived from instinct, soaring above the nine heavens and patrolling the world, naturally rose within him. The surging power within him was no longer the cold Immortal Spirit Qi but was a vast flame energy, as hot and wild as the core of the sun, filled with both destructive and creative aura.

Xiao Jie felt the roaring flames within him, almost bursting out of his body and praised inwardly: This Golden Crow is indeed worthy of being the Sun God Bird, a Divine Beast born and nurtured by heaven and earth! Even though he was not a 100% complete Golden Crow at this moment and had only obtained part of its form and spirit through visualization, he could clearly feel the pure and domineering Yang Flame Power within his body, which in some aspects was even more aggressive and pure than his own Immortal Spirit Qi.

The real Golden Crow Xi Huang was visibly shocked when it saw another "kindred" suddenly appear. Its burning eyes were filled with confusion and vigilance.

"What are you? How can you take our form?" Xi Huang emitted a chirp with a questioning tone, instinctively flapping its wings slightly, adopting a defensive posture.

Xiao Jie naturally wouldn’t tell the truth. He had already seen that although this Golden Crow was a powerful Sun God Bird with a long life and mighty power, its intelligence seemed not much different from ordinary beasts, with a straightforward and simple mind. This was probably because the Golden Crow species was extremely rare, with no socialized group structure, nor had they undergone any cultural enlightenment or development, relying completely on instinct and ancient heritage, thus possessing a childlike nature.

In an instant, he concocted an explanation in his mind and responded in the Golden Crow language, which had the sound of metal and stone friction, "I am actually also a Golden Crow, your kin. However, three thousand years ago, due to a chance encounter, I achieved enlightenment through cultivation, thus transforming into a human-shaped Immortal Body and traveled the world. Now I am just reverting to my original form."

The Golden Crow Xi Huang looked at Xiao Jie with a bewildered expression, and within its blazing eyes, like two small suns, was a nearly pure and clear foolishness that clearly couldn’t comprehend complex concepts like "cultivation enlightenment" and "transformation into an Immortal Body."

"I don’t believe you! Are you trying to deceive me?" Xi Huang shook its gigantic head, "If you are a Golden Crow, then show me ’Flaming Sun Sky Fire!’ Only we Golden Crows can master the true Sun True Fire!"

"Heh, I intended to do just that." Xiao Jie wanted this opportunity. He urgently needed to experience the power of this Flaming Sun Sky Fire firsthand, and he also needed to use it to gain Xi Huang’s trust.

Although it was only 83% complete as a knockoff version, relying on his strong Immortal’s perception and control, coupled with his detailed observation of Xi Huang’s entire casting process, he already had a seventy to eighty percent certainty.

He raised his majestic head constructed of light and flame, and mysteriously, his Immortal Sense seemed to capture a peculiar frequency, establishing an invisible and weak bond with the real sun above the nine heavens. The vast Sun Star Force traversed endless space, subtly being drawn forth.

"Divine Skills - Flaming Sun Sky Fire!"

He silently chanted in his heart, operating [Will Drives Five Elements] with all his might, frantically manipulating and attracting the extremely dense Fire Element Power around him, which rushed into the Golden Crow form he had transformed into as if flowing back to the sea!

The Sun True Fire Runes within him lit up, combined, and operated at unprecedented speed, forming a complex and fleeting internal Array. The gathered Fire Spirit Power was compressed and purified to the extreme, ultimately transforming into a liquid light stream of platinum color containing terrifying destructive energy, accumulating within his body.
