Chuchu made a huge decision to find Lingxijun.
The Demon Lord became a demon ten thousand years ago, while the Lingxi Lord disappeared a thousand years ago. Whether there is any connection between them has become a secret.
Chuchu thought of her original god being the Chongming Bird, and thought this was a good opportunity to clarify her identity. "Xingjun, I want to visit the Chongming Bird tribe first. I heard they live in Yangjia Mountain. Is that right?"
"Of course. Your journey will be dangerous, so please be sure to pay attention to safety." The Lord of the Pleiades warned.
"Don't worry, Xingjun, I will come back safely."
…
Chu's journey was full of hardships from the very beginning. She crossed the boundless sea of clouds and climbed over towering mountains. Every step was filled with unknowns and dangers.
Although the scenery along the way is beautiful, it also hides dangers. Whether it is the cunning beasts or the bad weather, she has to stay vigilant at all times.
After several days of trekking, Chuchu finally arrived at the foot of Yangjia Mountain. When she looked up at the towering peak, an indescribable shock washed over her.
Yangjia Mountain seems to be a work of art carefully carved by nature, and every rock and every leaf exudes the breath of life.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, covering the entire valley like a veil, giving people a dreamy feeling.
From the moment Chuchu and the others stepped into Yangjia Mountain, they knew that this journey would not be smooth sailing.
Yangjia Mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist and the habitat of the legendary Chongming bird clan, is so dangerous and mysterious that it is beyond her imagination.
The path was initially quite flat, but as the altitude gradually increased, it became increasingly rugged. The stone steps were covered with moss, making them slippery and prone to falling off the cliff.
No one dared to use any magic, for fear of disturbing the creatures in the mountains.
The three of them had to move forward carefully, holding on to the vines and protruding rocks on the side of the road to maintain their balance.
In addition to the test of the natural environment, Chuchu also encountered the guardians of the Chongming bird clan - a group of spiritual birds with powerful magic powers.
These spirit birds, with their sleek bodies and vibrant feathers, circled in the air, knowing the three's movements perfectly. Whenever the three approached the Chongming bird's territory, these birds would emit sharp cries, attracting more companions to attack Chuchu.
Chuchu and the other two were forced into a desperate situation. The magic power hidden deep in their bodies seemed to be awakened by an invisible force. They all released brilliant light at the same time, which intertwined with the besieging spirit birds to form a thrilling picture.
At this critical moment, all the spirit birds seemed to have received some mysterious call and stopped attacking. Their bodies drew elegant arcs in the air and finally landed steadily on the ground. As their feathers moved slightly, they turned into handsome men and beautiful women one by one. The scene was both strange and shocking.
The leading man in blue stood tall and straight, his blue crown gleaming softly in the sunlight. He slowly stepped forward, his eyes filled with awe and excitement. He knelt on his knees and spoke in a firm and clear voice, "Welcome Lingxi Jun back to Jiayang Mountain."
These words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. The surrounding spirit birds also knelt down and bowed. The sound of thunder and sea echoed through the valley: "Welcome Lingxi Jun back to Jiayang Mountain..."
Chuchu was stunned, staring at the scene in disbelief, as if she were in a dream. She turned to look at Qingtian and Tianyi, both of whom had similarly bewildered expressions, clearly bewildered by this sudden turn of events.
Seeing this, Lan Ying smiled gently, a smile that was warm and full of power. He slowly raised his hand, and a soft blue light emerged from his palm, wrapping around Chu Chu like a fine thread.
As the blue light shone, Chuchu felt a warm current surge into her body, and subtle changes began to occur. An indescribable burning sensation spread from her back, and then a pair of flawless white wings burst forth from her body, gently flapping the air with a pleasant sound.
Chuchu's eyes widened. For the first time in her life, she saw her true form so clearly—a beautiful double-headed bird. Her feathers were as pure and flawless as freshly fallen snow, gleaming with a faint silver sheen, even more dazzling in the sunlight. When her wings spread, they resembled two blooming white lotuses, both noble and divine. Her eyes shone with wisdom and compassion, as if she could see through everything in the world.
At this moment, Chuchu felt as if she had become one with the world. She felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and power. She slowly flapped her wings, her body floating lightly in the air. The surrounding scenery became so clear and vivid in her eyes. She was no longer a lost traveler, but the protector of this land, the leader of the Chongming bird clan - Lingxi Jun.
Faced with this sudden change of identity, Chuchu still has many questions and confusions in her heart.
She looked down at Lan Ying, her voice hesitant: "You... maybe you recognized the wrong person? Why am I Lingxi Jun?"
Lan Ying stood up respectfully, his eyes filled with determination. "Ling Jun, your aura, your power, and your appearance are all identical to Ling Xi Jun. No matter what you've been through, you are Ling Xi Jun of our Chongming Bird clan. This is an unchangeable fact."
Chuchu was already extremely surprised that she was a Chongming bird, but she didn't expect that she was also the spiritual master she was looking for.
Obviously she was lucky. She might as well take this opportunity to find the token and enter the treasure house of heaven. She should be able to find a way to save Lu Chenguang soon.
"In that case, then take me back to my bedroom."
Lan Ying made a gesture of invitation, "Ling Jun, please."
Qingtian and Tianyi followed closely behind, but were stopped by Lanying. "You two are outsiders, and you carry the aura of the underworld. You cannot enter Jiayang Mountain."
Qingtian was about to lose his temper again, but Chuchu stopped him, saying, "My journey back here was full of dangers. I was fortunate to have the help of Qingtian and Tianyi. They are my friends. The Underworld has always stayed out of the affairs of the six realms and never made enemies. They have no grudges against my Chongming Bird clan. Let them come in and rest for a few days. I can help them conceal their aura."
Lan Ying's expression faltered slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his respect and resolve. He bowed deeply to Chu Chu and spoke in a steady and powerful voice, "Spirit Lord, your decision is unquestionable. However, Jiayang Mountain is the sacred ground of our Chongming Bird clan, with strict rules and regulations, and outsiders are not allowed to enter easily. However, since you, Spirit Lord, have spoken, and you two are his friends, Lan Ying will do his best to arrange it."
As he spoke, Lan Ying gently waved his hand, and a fresh and elegant fragrance filled the air. It was the unique scent of the Chongming bird clan, temporarily masking the strangeness of outsiders. He looked at Qingtian and Tianyi, his eyes softening. "Please follow me, both of you. I will arrange a quiet place for you to stay until you have fully absorbed the aura of the mountain, and then we can proceed."
Qingtian wanted to refute, after all, he was straightforward and didn't want to be restricted by others, but when he saw Chuchu's determined eyes, he finally suppressed his anger and just nodded slightly.
Tianyi was as calm as ever. He smiled slightly, thanked Lan Ying, and then left with Lan Ying together with Qingtian.
