Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1713 - 1695: Little Bird, Young Maiden
Under the lead of the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf, Lin Feng and the two Demon Immortals arrived at one of the Four Deadly Realms, the Desperate Valley.
The valley was nestled among the mountains, surrounded by unusually tall barren mountains with only a crack resembling the One Line Sky leading into it. Even before entering, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf was unwilling to move any further.
"Inside lies the Desperate Valley. You can enter through this crack, but I must warn you, the valley is filled with toxic gas. This is no ordinary poison; even Demon Energy cannot withstand it. Last time I explored this place, I barely survived after taking just over ten steps inside. Given my current injuries, even touching that poison might cost me my life."
The Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf said with extreme frustration. This place was his nightmare. Just thinking about it made him shiver. The poison was just too potent, and Demon Energy couldn’t offer any defense. Thus, no Demon Beast had ever entered here, and no one knew what was inside. But in any case, he wasn’t going to risk his life.
Hearing the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf’s words, Lin Feng’s eyebrows twitched slightly. The Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf was at the peak of the Demon Immortal Realm, yet he couldn’t resist the poison. There must be something unusual here. After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng said to the two Demon Immortals, "You two stay here and guard the place. No Demon Beast is allowed to enter or leave. I will go in and have a look."
Without waiting for the two Demon Immortals to respond, Lin Feng stepped towards the crack.
As soon as he approached the crack, Lin Feng raised a Gang Qi Shield around his body to keep the toxic gas away. He was merely testing the potency of the poison here, but to his surprise, the poison was truly terrifying. The Gang Qi was depleting rapidly, and at this rate, even he couldn’t maintain it for long.
Moreover, Lin Feng couldn’t see what lay inside. Even his Divine Sense could only extend about ten meters around him, which was quite unexpected. Lin Feng’s current Divine Sense was far superior to an average person’s, yet it couldn’t cover any more distance. This place truly lived up to its name as a deadly realm!
After a brief hesitation, Lin Feng retreated to the entrance of the crack, calmed his mind, and began to ponder how to enter this place effectively.
The two Demon Immortals and the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf saw Lin Feng retreat and thought he was also too afraid to enter. But when they saw him close his eyes and seemingly deep in thought, they dared not disturb him and simply watched from the sidelines.
After a short while, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of insight flashing through them. He then vanished from his spot and reappeared shortly after, looking entirely different. Somehow, Lin Feng had acquired a large amount of water, using special methods from the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins to form a protective barrier around himself. Under their watchful eyes, he proceeded towards the crack.
What is this?
This method?
Will this work?
The three Demon Beasts were stunned to see Lin Feng using this method. No doubt, using water to absorb the poison without letting it seep through was a brilliant idea. But the question remained: if the water absorbed enough poison and became poisonous, what then? This bewilderment clouded their minds.
With this layer of water for protection, Lin Feng wasted no time. As his Divine Sense scanned the area, he advanced step by step, almost as if moving through instantaneous movement. In the blink of an eye, he covered several hundred meters. To his surprise, the further he went into the valley, the thinner the poison became. By the time he had traversed a thousand meters, the poison had almost entirely dissipated.
Suddenly, Lin Feng passed what seemed to be a barrier, and the poison disappeared entirely. The scenery before him transformed into an entirely different image, filled with green plants and some wildflowers, as if he had entered another world completely distinct from the previous Secret Realm.
While Lin Feng was still in a daze, a small bird with green feathers suddenly flew over, perching on a nearby small tree, glaring at Lin Feng with its tiny eyes and saying, "How unusual, a human!"
The bird’s voice was clear and crisp, sounding like a young girl in her teens. Lin Feng, seeing a bird that could speak, immediately scrutinized it, intuitive that this bird was no ordinary creature. He thought to himself how bizarre this deadly realm was. The outside was so poisonous, yet there was a small bird inside. What kind of place was this?
"My name is Lin Feng. Might I ask, where exactly is this place?" Lin Feng said calmly to the bird as he waved away the water shield around him. In an instant, the now toxic shield corrupted all the surrounding plants and ground, leaving it scorched black, startling Lin Feng. He hadn’t anticipated the poison to be this severe.
"You can call me Miss An’an. This is my home! Human, for you to reach here is no simple feat!" The bird looked at Lin Feng and spoke, seeming quite excited. It had been a very long time since she saw any other creatures.
"It was just a method I thought of," Lin Feng replied nonchalantly. In fact, entering this place was relatively simple once figured out. As long as one could control water, it was doable for others to reach here.
"Getting in is getting in, no need for modesty." The bird looked at Lin Feng, seemingly speaking very seriously, clearly more curious about this human. She continued to ask, "Human, what brought you here?"
"I heard that nobody could enter here, so I came in to see if there were any good treasures to find." Lin Feng spoke frankly to the bird. He had come to explore and find treasures, and if he could obtain some unique items, it wouldn’t have been in vain.
What Lin Feng hadn’t expected was when he mentioned this, the bird flapped its wings and flew to a branch about two meters away, speaking with great interest, "I didn’t expect you to be so honest."
The bird became increasingly interested in Lin Feng. Though it had not seen many people, none were as straightforward about treasure hunting as Lin Feng. Hence, the bird began to feel some fondness for this human and continued, "Since you’re so honest, I won’t test you further, I’ll give it to you directly."
The bird’s wing pointed into the distance, and an orange-yellow light flew towards Lin Feng. He raised his hand to catch it steadily without hesitation.
"This... is this a Phoenix Tree Core?"
Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise, holding the orange-yellow wood, sensing the abundant Fire Element energy within. He had seen this Phoenix Tree Core in his master’s Ancient Book, knowing it was a divine material in the Ancient Era, extremely rare. It was said to be the essence of Phoenix Tree Wood incinerated by the descent of a Flame Phoenix, filled with rich Fire Element energy, perfect for crafting Dharma Treasures for cultivators with fire attributes. He hadn’t expected to encounter one here, leaving him marvelously astonished.
Moreover, he now felt more certain that this little bird was extraordinary. Giving away a treasure like the Phoenix Tree Core so casually suggested the bird’s origins were undoubtedly remarkable, possibly belonging to the legendary Phoenix lineage. This realization widened Lin Feng’s eyes, shocking himself with the thought.
"I didn’t expect you to recognize this!" This time the bird was surprised. The Phoenix Tree Core wasn’t commonly recognized, and at least three people who had been here before hadn’t identified it. The bird thought to herself, how could this young man know such a thing? It was incredible!
"I saw it in my master’s Ancient Book. Legend has it, it’s so rare it only exists in legends." Lin Feng didn’t hide the truth, explaining while keeping his eyes fixed on the bird, trying to discern its origins.
"So that’s the case, I didn’t expect human Ancient Books to have such records." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the bird realized the situation but immediately noticed Lin Feng staring at her. She seemed a bit embarrassed and said, "Please don’t stare at me like that, it’s not polite."
With that, she ducked her head and turned away, like a shy girl.
Hearing the bird’s words, Lin Feng felt a bit rude himself and smiled gently, then remembered he had some beautiful female accessories in his Space Ring. He took out a platinum tiara, studded with sparkling diamonds, looking exceptionally beautiful.
"Wow, it’s so beautiful!" The bird exclaimed upon seeing the tiara, having never seen such a pretty piece before. She was immediately captivated by it.
"It’s a gift for you," Lin Feng said with a faint smile, recalling the white gold tiara among his space ring’s treasures. Then he handed it over to the bird.
Originally, Lin Feng thought the bird would treasure the tiara, but he didn’t expect what happened next... The bird leapt, and in a flash, transformed into a red-haired, fair-skinned, and strikingly beautiful girl, dressed in a red gown. She put on the tiara, her smile brilliant as the sun.
"You..."
Lin Feng was taken aback. The moment the bird transformed, the fierce aura of Fire Element was so overwhelming that he almost fell to his knees. It was no exaggeration to say that this girl had an extraordinary background, perhaps belonging to the legendary tribe of the Phoenix, as he had previously suspected.
