Free Web NovelChapter 1767: Chapter 478: The Blood-Red Path, Collective Devilic Transformation (11k)_3
The Mother River is the main stream, appearing like an ocean to mortals, often flooding and causing disasters.
Yet, this massive river system nurtures the vibrant life along its banks.
The entire northern Daqian is stronger than the south, directly related to the Mother River’s system.
Some tributaries in the northern part of the Mother River, within Dali, have already fostered quite a bit of life.
If Dali could seize the area north of the Mother River, it could utilize such a massive river system, thereby revitalizing the overall water-scarce southern and western regions of Dali.
If he were the new Emperor Li, after ascending the throne, he naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity, taking advantage of Daqian’s internal chaos to lay a foundation for generations for Dali.
The resolve of this new Emperor of Dali seems very firm.
Originally thinking this place wouldn’t be so intense, upon arrival he realized the intensity far exceeded the West Qian battlefield.
Yu Ziqing traveled north, then east, arriving at the eastern coast of Dali, where the old Emperor Li resided.
The new Emperor Li sensed his presence and was already waiting here.
"Greetings to Emperor Li."
After the greeting, Yu Ziqing waved his hand grandly, releasing the secret chamber formation.
He pointed at the mottled blood moon in the sky, briefly explained the situation.
He wanted to reach the Bright Moon, but relying on Yang seemed impossible in the short term, time was tight, he hoped Emperor Li would be more dependable.
The new Emperor Li extended a hand, and a fire bird appeared on her fingertip, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
In all of Dali’s records, even in her own perception, there was never anything linking Dali to the True Phoenix.
Unexpectedly, she learned of a message from an outsider.
Dali is not related to the True Phoenix but directly related to a bloodline of the True Phoenix.
"Emperor Dui, this is a serious matter, I am naturally willing to help, but I am also learning of this for the first time."
The new Emperor Li carefully considered the situation, not downplaying its significance, nor suspecting Yu Ziqing of deceiving her.
She is simply unaware and uncertain.
Coupled with her current tasks, which hold great importance for Dali, she must watch over her father.
Her nature differs from Yu Ziqing, having ascended the throne, all naturally centers around Dali, she cannot impulsively join in Yu Ziqing’s adventure.
Even knowing this matter involves more than one Divine Dynasty but concerns everyone, she dared not rashly make such a decision.
Just look at the negative impact caused by Daqian losing two emperors in succession.
A legitimate emperor of a Divine Dynasty seldom leaves the Divine Dynasty’s territory after ascending the throne.
Yu Ziqing is the anomaly.
Yu Ziqing did not force her, setting no expectations, merely notifying the new Emperor Li.
What he actually counted on was the old Emperor Li.
If the old Emperor Li could awaken early and successfully advance to the Tenth Tier, things might become much easier.
The new Emperor Li recognized the correctness of this matter, but felt unable to spare the time recently, with a thought she handed the fire bird accompanying her to Yu Ziqing.
"If according to Emperor Dui, the one possessing the True Phoenix bloodline power should be this bird.
If Emperor Dui intends to go to the Bright Moon, the only possible assistance lies in this.
If Emperor Dui doesn’t mind, let it accompany you temporarily."
"Thank you." Yu Ziqing felt satisfied, thinking aside from the old Emperor Li, this fire bird indeed seemed most suitable, involving the new Emperor Li was truly uncertain.
The new Emperor Li looked earnestly at the fire bird.
"Temporarily follow Emperor Dui, you must adhere to Emperor Dui’s instructions.
It’s of grave importance, you mustn’t act capriciously, do you understand?"
The fire bird nodded, flapped its wings, flew beside Yu Ziqing, and landed on his shoulder after he nodded approval.
Yu Ziqing looked at the fire bird, vaguely perceiving its newfound down feathers had grown recently.
He recognized this creature, it was the same from years ago when the new Emperor Li was still a Crown Prince and hammered it as the Hungry Ghost King enveloped Jinlan Mountain returning from the Void.
It’s considered a Magical Treasure in origin, now with the spiritual wisdom of a Yuan Spirit, and could count as a kind of Living Being.
Having acquired what he wanted, Yu Ziqing bid farewell to the new Emperor Li and began attempting.
He flew into the high sky, heading towards the Bright Moon, only upon reaching the Gang Wind Layer, gazing at the Bright Moon, it appeared the same size, still so distant, just hanging there.
Yu Ziqing glanced at the fire bird.
"Feeling anything? Such as the path to the Bright Moon?"
"No, I haven’t felt anything." The fire bird shook its head.
Yu Ziqing pondered; the Auspicious Beast said the True Phoenix knows the path to the Bright Moon and only the True Phoenix can go there, thus this path isn’t the one he understands, it should be some method.
With the fire bird, arguably they are roughly akin to a makeshift True Phoenix and Auspicious Beast, with some hope.
Thinking, he extended a hand, exercised the rosy clouds Divine Skills, seven-colored rosy clouds streaming toward the Bright Moon’s direction.
The fire bird’s eyes burned with flames, its expression suddenly turned serious.
When the seven-colored rosy clouds collided with the Bright Moon’s radiance, through the flames in its eyes, it seemingly saw something different emerge.
"I seem to see something, like a road, but it’s unstable, lacking just a bit."
Yu Ziqing intensified the rosy clouds output, the flames in the fire bird’s eyes began fiercely swirling, yet still like seeing through fire, vaguely, flickering, not truly clear.
