Yun Che fell silent. Although he had calmed down from the shock, his heart was still restless. Originally, he had only regarded this place as a completely unfamiliar world. Becoming stronger here and then finding a way to return to the Profound Sky Continent was the only direction. But now, everything had been turned upside down.
This is not only not a distant and strange world, but also has a close relationship with him.
“Yun Che, ask this person what the ‘Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley’ is?” Jasmine suddenly asked in a serious tone. The “Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley” was mentioned by Number One Under Heaven and Yun Xiao, who said it was an excellent place for trials and adventures, but the Yun family was no longer allowed to enter.
“…Could it be that you suspect that this ‘Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley’ is related to the ancient mythical beast ‘Golden Crow’?” Yun Che asked.
"I don't think this is just a coincidence in the name." Jasmine replied calmly: "If it is really related to the 'Golden Crow', then it would be very interesting."
Yun Che pondered for a moment and asked, “Yun Xiao, what is the ‘Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley’ that you mentioned before? The rapid decline of your Yun family’s power is also one of the reasons why you cannot enter the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley… Is this place really that magical?”
“Uh… you don’t even know about the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley?” Yun Xiao looked at him with extremely surprised eyes.
“This is my first time here to train, and my master has never told me about the Illusory Demon Realm, so this is the first time I’ve heard the name Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley.”
Yun Che’s words were quite true, but Yun Xiao naturally couldn’t tell that he was from another world. He nodded and whispered, “Brother Yun is so powerful, there’s a reason for that. It seems that when he’s practicing, he really doesn’t get distracted at all… Although I’ve never been to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, I’m very familiar with it. I grew up hearing this name because it’s the birthplace of the ancestor of the Illusionary Demon Royal Family.”
“The place of origin?” Yun Che was startled.
"Yes." Yun Xiao nodded: "Brother Yun, have you ever heard of the ancient mythical beast 'Golden Crow'?"
"I've heard of them. The Vermillion Bird, the Phoenix, and the Golden Crow, the three great fire supreme beings of the ancient times." Yun Che nodded. And he also had the blood of the Phoenix flowing in his body.
"The reason why the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley is called this is because it contains the power inheritance of the mythical beast Golden Crow."
“Oh?” Yun Che suddenly turned his head. In his mind, Jasmine’s low voice also rang out: “As expected! But it’s really strange. The Blue Pole Star is obviously just a low-level planet, why is there so many divine power inheritances… Phoenix, Dragon God, Golden Crow, even the divine power seeds of the Heretic God exist in this world… Could it be that something special happened in this world in the ancient times?”
"This... is weird?"
“It’s more than just strange, it’s absolutely not normal.” Jasmine whispered, “Ninety-nine-nine-nine percent of the divine power inheritance is concentrated in the Realm of the Gods. Among the trillions of planets in the universe, it is estimated that there is hardly one planet in a billion that can have divine power inheritance. Even in the higher-level star realms, there is only one in a billion. And now, four have been discovered on a tiny Blue Pole Star. Oh, and there’s also Xia Yuanba who inexplicably has the God of War’s Profound Veins! The Yun family’s Profound Gang might also be some kind of ancient true god power… If this matter gets out, it will be enough to alarm even the Realm of the Gods!”
Yun Che: “…”
Yun Xiao continued, "The ancestor of the Illusionary Demon Royal Family was just a neon bird that had transformed into a demon. Later, he accidentally opened the inheritance left by the Golden Crow in the Thunder Flame Valley and obtained the Golden Crow's bloodline and Golden Crow's flame power, thus becoming invincible in the entire Illusionary Demon Realm. Later, all the races took him as the emperor, and he became the first demon emperor in the Illusionary Demon Realm. Later, his continuously multiplying race, which is now the Illusionary Demon Royal Family, calls themselves the descendants of the Golden Crow. With the blessing of the divine beast Golden Crow, the Thunder Flame Valley was also renamed the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, becoming the most sacred place in the Illusionary Demon Realm."
"The elemental aura of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley is extremely strong, and it is filled with strong flames and thundercloud power everywhere. It constantly produces various powerful fire spirits, thunder spirits, and various fire and thunder monsters. Similarly, various natural treasures that are hard to find in other places are also easily produced there. Therefore, entering the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley can not only give you a good experience, but also easily lead you to various adventures. Almost everyone who enters the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley can gain a lot, and some can even soar into the sky."
“Only the Illusionary Demon King Family and the twelve guardian families are qualified to enter the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, and they are allowed to enter once every five years. But after what happened a hundred years ago… our Yun family is no longer allowed to enter. After the younger generations of other guardian families enter the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, many of them will experience a transformation or even sublimation in strength after they come out, but our Yun family can only watch helplessly…”
Yun Xiao exhaled slowly, his face full of sadness. At his current age, he was still the young master of the Yun family, but he had never been able to enter the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley... He didn't even have the chance to go in and take a look.
“I see.” Yun Che nodded gently, “That is to say, the Illusory Demon Royal Family all possess the bloodline of the Golden Crow, and also possess the Golden Crow’s flame power. No wonder they have become a royal family that is worshipped by the entire world.”
“That… is not the case.” Yun Xiao denied unexpectedly, “The people of the Illusionary Demon King Clan do have the blood of the Golden Crow, but it is passed down from generation to generation, and the blood is very thin. Although the Mysterious Fire they burn is much stronger than ordinary Mysterious Fire, it is not the power of the Golden Crow at all… The last person who truly possessed the power of the Golden Crow was the deceased Demon King.”
“Why is that? Aren’t they all clearly inheriting the bloodline of the Golden Crow?” Yun Che asked in astonishment.
"Because only by gaining the recognition and granting of the Golden Crow's soul can one obtain the Golden Crow's flame profound skill 'Golden Crow Burning World Record'. Otherwise, one can only rely on the Golden Crow's bloodline to burn the profound fire with the Golden Crow's attributes. In the Illusionary Demon Clan, except for the Demon King, everyone else practices other flame profound skills."
“Golden Crow Record of the Burning World… Could it be that the Golden Crow’s flame profound skill cannot be passed on to others?” Yun Che frowned… This name “Golden Crow Record of the Burning World” was not the first time Yun Che had heard of it. Jasmine had mentioned to him a few years ago that “Suzaku Soothing Song”, “Phoenix Ode to the World”, and “Golden Crow Record of the Burning World” were the three “World Burning Heavenly Books” that had terrorized the world back then.
"Yes! The Golden Crow Burning World Record can only be inherited from the Golden Crow Soul. The Golden Crow Soul exists at the end of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley. It is called the Golden Crow Holy Land and is only allowed to be entered once every thousand years. The only key to enter there... is the 'Demon King Seal' that was lost in the Profound Sky Continent because of my grandfather."
Yun Che: “…”
Yun Xiao said helplessly, "The Golden Crow Holy Land can be entered once every thousand years, so the Demon Emperor also takes over every thousand years. When the Demon Emperor died at the hands of those evil people a hundred years ago, he was about to reign for a thousand years. After the Little Demon Emperor succeeded to the throne, he could use the Demon Emperor Seal to enter the Golden Crow Holy Land and obtain the more powerful Golden Crow bloodline and the Golden Crow Burning World Record. However, if the Demon Emperor Seal is lost, he will never be able to enter the Golden Crow Holy Land again. Without the true Golden Crow inheritance, he cannot become a true Demon Emperor... A hundred years ago, the Little Demon Emperor succeeded to the throne helplessly. Since he did not obtain the Golden Crow inheritance, he could only be called the 'Little Demon Emperor' and could not be called the real Demon Emperor. The same is true for the Little Demon Queen. Alas, if the Demon Emperor Seal cannot be found, the Golden Crow Burning World Record may disappear from the world forever."
“No wonder the Yun family has to bear such a heavy responsibility after losing the Demon King Seal.” Yun Che said slowly.
“Grandpa certainly didn’t lose it on purpose.” Yun Xiao gritted his teeth gently. “Father said that Grandpa and the Demon King were as close as brothers. Back then, he would never admit that the Demon King was dead unless he saw the Demon King’s body. The Demon King Seal was given to him by the Demon King himself to protect. Unless the Demon King was really dead, he would not give it to anyone without the Demon King’s order, not even the Demon King’s son… That’s why he always carried it with him and never gave it to anyone. Even when he went to the Profound Sky Continent to look for the Demon King, he refused to let the Demon King Seal leave him… This was a manifestation of Grandpa’s loyalty. He certainly didn’t want to lose it more than anyone else. But some people in the Illusory Demon King Family…”
Yun Xiao looked angry, but did not continue talking.
“Would you like to find an opportunity to go to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley and take a look?” Jasmine said with great interest, “Anyway, you just happen to have ‘that thing’.”
“Which one is stronger, the Golden Crow’s flame or the Phoenix’s flame?” Yun Che thought for a moment and asked.
“Among the three supreme fire beings, the Vermillion Bird is the first, the Phoenix is the second, and the Golden Crow is the last. However, if we only talk about the power of flames, the Golden Crow is the strongest!” Jasmine said calmly.
"…Then why is Jinwu ranked last?"
"Because this is not a ranking of strength. The flame of the Vermillion Bird has a sacred attribute. It is the flame most feared by the demons who coexisted with the gods in ancient times. It was once called the 'Flame of Salvation'. The flame of the Phoenix has a benevolent attribute. It can not only burn, but also purify. It was once called the 'Flame of Praise'. This is why you must pass the third level of the Heart Trial when you accept the Phoenix Trial."
"And the flame of the Golden Crow is the purest and most extreme flame of destruction! The Golden Crow is also called the 'Sun Bird'. Legend has it that it is an extreme deity born in the center of the sun. Its flame is as hot and violent as the sun, and it can do nothing but destroy. Legend has it that the most extreme Golden Crow's fire can burn everything in the entire universe. The ranking of the three supreme flames I just mentioned is nothing more than the ranking of their recognition in the hearts of the world. Although the Golden Crow is not an evil beast, its temperament is as violent as its flame. Naturally, it cannot compare to the Vermillion Bird and Phoenix that 'save the world' and 'praise the world'. But given the temperament of the Golden Crow, of course it will never recognize this ranking."
“So, you want me to try to obtain the Golden Crow’s inheritance?” Yun Che said thoughtfully.
“Golden Crow inheritance? Heh…” Jasmine smiled faintly, “You think too much. If you don’t have Phoenix bloodline, then there is still a possibility, but since you have Phoenix Flame, there is no way you can get Golden Crow Flame. I asked you to go there just to confirm whether there is really a Golden Crow inheritance there!”
“Why?” Yun Che was slightly stunned.
"Humph, is it hard to understand? None of the three fire supreme beings submit to each other, and each believes that they possess the most powerful fire in the world. If a person has the bloodline of one of them, the other two will never allow their bloodline and power to coexist with it! Especially the Golden Crow! It has an extremely violent and fierce temperament. It is impossible for it to pass on its bloodline and power to a person with the power of the Phoenix bloodline...
