Chapter 875: Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir

In a certain section of the fifth region, peaks towered above, and vegetation was lush, creating a scene of prosperity.

But no one would have thought that this mountain range wasn’t just ordinary peaks, but a group of dormant volcanoes. Inside each peak, brimming with spiritual medicine, terrifying magma roared.

This group of dormant volcanoes hadn’t erupted for countless years, and with the spiritual medicine covering the surface, no one would think that a rare immortality medicine could exist within.

This time, Ji Que Shengzi stumbled upon it by chance, but with his strength, he could only watch from afar, unable to even approach, let alone capture it.

"Your Highness, that Vermilion Bird immortality herb is very formidable. Even if it’s not a Great Saint expert, it’s at least at the eighth or ninth layer of the Saint Realm. Moreover, the volcanic group is vast, with forty-nine peaks. Capturing the Vermilion Bird immortality herb is like climbing to the heavens."

Ji Que Shengzi spoke, revealing all he knew to Su Han in hopes of gaining Su Han’s trust.

Su Han remembered what Ji Que Shengzi said, as it would be useful in capturing the Vermilion Bird immortality herb.

The immortality medicine was the most precious spiritual medicine in the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm, with each plant controlled by a Great Emperor Realm expert. Without the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land emerging, collecting the Five Elements Immortality Medicine would be like climbing to the heavens.

The opening of the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land was already the greatest convenience for him. If he still couldn’t obtain the immortality medicine, it could only mean he was too weak.

"Your Highness, we’re here. Up ahead is the dormant volcano group!"

Soon, Ji Que Shengzi led Su Han to their destination.

"Oh!"

Su Han lightly exclaimed, noticing something different.

Ji Que Shengzi, with his limited strength and being merely a Sword Cultivator, had little knowledge outside his expertise. However, Su Han possessed many inherited memories and held the Nine Secrets.

"Nine Heavens Eye, open!"

Su Han directly activated the Nine Heavens Eye, looking ahead. He saw towering peaks, forty-nine in total, forming a natural great formation.

This great formation communicated with the heavens and earth, connecting to all directions, gathering energy from all sides in one place, subtly possessing the ability to steal the workings of nature.

Seeing this natural great formation, Su Han believed that there was an immortality medicine here, as the terrain was quite extraordinary, truly capable of nurturing such a medicine.

"We arrived relatively quickly. The elders and people from King Yama’s Palace haven’t arrived yet!"

The mountain range was silent, with only spiritual medicine and no humans. It was clear the experts from the Spirit Sword Holy Palace and King Yama’s Palace had received the news but hadn’t yet arrived.

"Glyph Secret!"

Su Han flew forward, quietly activating the Glyph Secret, leaving behind numerous formation patterns. He toured all forty-nine peaks, leaving over a thousand formation patterns. These weren’t for forming a new array but to leverage the natural great formation, akin to a cuckoo taking over a magpie’s nest.

With this method, Su Han had greater confidence in capturing the Vermilion Bird immortality herb!

Immortality medicine naturally possessed high intelligence, and those in the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land were even more formidable. Su Han had to ensure foolproof preparation; otherwise, if the Vermilion Bird immortality herb escaped, he’d have nowhere to cry.

"Your Highness, I saw the Vermilion Bird immortality herb in the crater of that mountain peak!"

Ji Que Shengzi, though not understanding why Su Han needed to survey the area, patiently waited and pointed to the tallest peak after Su Han returned.

"Conceal your aura, let’s go take a look!"

Su Han didn’t want to startle the Vermilion Bird immortality herb and cause it to flee. At this moment, he and Ji Que Shengzi concealed their auras and headed towards the crater.

Though referred to as a crater, the surface had long been covered with rocks and spiritual medicine, with only tiny gaps allowing a glimpse inside. Without purposely observing, no one might notice.

"Nine Heavens Eye!"

Su Han fully activated the Nine Heavens Eye, as the 180 Divine Sense Stellar in his mind lit up, upgrading the Nine Heavens Eye to the Fifth Layer, enhancing his eyesight immensely.

Inside the mountain peak lay the scarlet magma, scorching hot, turning everything into mush, leaving nothing behind.

Even standing at the crater, Su Han could feel the terrifying heat and power. This magma was extraordinarily fearsome; Martial Artists below the Heavenly King Realm who entered would surely perish, and even those above would struggle to move freely.

Even those in the Saint Realm might be significantly impacted without special means.

The magma rolled violently, bubbles constantly emerging, and fiery energy filled the entire inner mountain. Considering such fearsome and vast magma, it should have erupted long ago, or at least turned the whole mountain into Flame Mountain. How could it remain lush and covered in spiritual medicine?

Upon closer observation, Su Han noticed that although the magma was vast, most of its energy flowed inwards, seemingly being absorbed by something.

Su Han calmed his mind, using the Nine Heavens Eye to pierce through the void, seeing beyond illusions, looking toward the energy’s gathering place.

Finally, he saw a blurry figure.

It was a fiery red mythical bird, though not large, it was full of Dao Rhyme. Surrounded by flames, it had a graceful posture, like a treasure of nature.

At this moment, the mythical bird floated in the magma, its entire body emitting red radiance, like an invincible deity, exuding a terrifying aura, shifting mountains and rivers, overturning the heavens and earth.

"Vermilion Bird!"

Su Han was shocked. This fiery red mythical bird was identical to the legendary Vermilion Bird divine beast. It seemed that a single breath of its divine fire could incinerate the sky and destroy a region.

However, this wasn’t truly a Vermilion Bird divine beast but the Vermilion Bird immortality herb. Immortality medicine took various forms, and this Vermilion Bird immortality herb contained a trace of Vermilion Bird power, hence it transformed into the Vermilion Bird’s form. Moreover, it grew rapidly while cultivating in the magma.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the Vermilion Bird immortality herb sensed Su Han’s peeping. Instantly, its eyes opened, fiery red as flames, sending a terrifying spiritual power toward Su Han, this spiritual power was scorching, like a sea of fire, threatening to burn Su Han’s Divine Sense to ashes.

"Divine Sense Black Hole!"

Su Han dared not be careless, quickly activating the Divine Sense Stellar, transforming into a massive Divine Sense Black Hole, swallowing the terrifying spiritual power.

Yet the Vermilion Bird immortality herb’s spiritual wave was too strong. Although Su Han devoured it, he felt his mind scorching hot, as if being roasted by fire, nearly exploding.

Fortunately, Su Han’s Divine Sense was robust, and coupled with the devouring technique, though painful, he ultimately managed to refine the spiritual wave.

Through this spiritual wave, Su Han discerned the Vermilion Bird immortality herb’s strength, unexpectedly comparable to the Saint Realm Ninth Layer, terrifying indeed!

Rumbling sounds!

At this moment, a series of rumblings approached swiftly, as two groups of people flew densely from afar, gathering in the mountains.

The experts from the Spirit Sword Holy Palace and King Yama’s Palace had arrived!
