The enormous sphere of light before them shimmered with an extremely mysterious glow.
Under Xiao Jiu's observation, with each flicker of the ethereal light, the power of faith scattered throughout the world was absorbed into the sphere of light.
What made Xiao Jiu's eyes narrow even more was that as the light sphere flashed, countless emerald green gases were also absorbed by it.
The emerald green gas, on the other hand, represents life force, the life force belonging to the countless people of the Vermilion Bird Divine Land.
This caused Xiao Jiu to catch his breath. He had thought that this ball of light was the core of the Vermilion Bird Divine City's grand formation, which controlled the killing and destruction.
But to everyone's surprise, the existence of this sphere of light was actually robbing countless people of the divine land of their lives.
After countless lives were absorbed into the sphere of light, they disappeared into the main hall with a faint flicker. After observing from a distance for a while, Xiao Jiu chose to retreat.
Because he discovered something even more incredible.
This enormous sphere of light was actually the inner core of the Vermilion Bird God Lord.
This was completely beyond what Xiao Jiu could comprehend. For any demon beast, even an ancient divine beast, its inner core was its most important and most vulnerable part.
The inner core of a demon beast is equivalent to the dantian and nascent soul of a human cultivator. It is the place where power is concentrated, but it is also the most carefully protected place.
With the dantian destroyed, cultivation is completely ruined; with the nascent soul shattered, death is certain.
But this Vermilion Bird God Lord actually placed such a fragile core of inner elixir on the top of the main hall.
I have to say, this veteran's courage really makes me want to give him a thumbs up.
That's ruthless.
Xiao Jiu was absolutely certain about the identity of that giant ball of light.
Because he had already refined the Azure Dragon God Lord's dragon core and officially cultivated it into the first spirit in the Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique, the Dragon Spirit.
Although this Vermilion Bird inner core was surrounded by numerous arrays, and although the inner core was disguised by many arrays, it was still surrounded by other arrays.
But in front of Yi Jiu, who had refined the Dragon Pill, these disguises were no different from the women in the Xiaoyao Pavilion wearing transparent veils.
Nothing that should be exposed is left out; even the hidden triangle area is clearly visible.
Colors, shapes, and so on...
After descending from the top of the Vermilion Bird Temple, Xiao Jiu glanced meaningfully at the enormous main hall before turning and heading outside.
He was able to determine the reason why the Vermilion Bird God Lord released his inner core.
This old bird has very little time left to live.
If you said this to any citizen of the Vermilion Bird Divine Land, they would spit in your face.
Screw you! The God has been alive since the time of my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.
Moreover, there have long been rumors that the deity is immortal and indestructible, living as long as heaven.
Lifespan?
Does the God Lord need that?
Before seeing that giant ball of light with his own eyes, Xiao Jiu wouldn't have believed this.
The Vermilion Bird is among the ancient mythical beasts, and its lifespan is so long it makes you want to curse.
That guy once said that if you want to kill an ancient mythical beast, you have to go all out and kill it in one go, otherwise it will definitely come and wipe out your entire clan when you're reduced to bone dust.
But a long lifespan doesn't mean true immortality, and living as long as the heavens is utter bullshit.
The feedback that Xiao Jiu received truly confirmed this point: the immense vitality absorbed by the inner core was ultimately poured into the Vermilion Bird Main Hall.
Releasing the inner elixir externally is the most efficient method, but also the most unavoidable.
Only by releasing the inner core can one quickly and directly deprive the life force of a massive formation. Using the inner core as the central hub of the formation also ensures that the inner core will not be attacked from the outside.
Having figured this out, Xiao Jiu also understood something else.
Three exceptionally talented prodigies were selected over a century, but they all vanished from everyone's sight.
Based on this reasoning, that so-called divine child is just a blood-eating food created by this old bird to devour living flesh and blood.
Alternatively, it is highly likely that it was used as a furnace to refine clones.
This old bird is determined to align itself with the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty, which is probably closely related to its desire to prolong its life. No wonder this old bird rarely shows itself.
So that explains why it had been in a state of slumber.
This old bird is just like the Azure Dragon God Lord back then. He's called a God Lord, but he treats the people of the divine land like livestock. What a bastard.
After figuring all this out, Ye Jiu first sent the message to Ye Boqi, as the Crown Prince needed to know about this so that the strategy could be adjusted in a timely manner.
With the Crown Prince's intelligence, he would certainly have many ways to kill an old bird whose lifespan is about to end, and they would definitely surprise everyone.
But before the Crown Prince could make his move, what Xiao Jiu needed to do was to continue altering the formation of the Vermilion Bird Divine City, something he had been doing for some time.
He's Yi Jiu, how could he possibly do good deeds without expecting anything in return?
The process of improving the formation for those damned temple bigwigs was actually the process of him drastically altering it.
Now, if he wanted, he could easily take control of the formations in the homes of those important figures, and he had also made large-scale alterations to the entire massive formation of the Vermilion Bird Divine City without anyone noticing.
Xiao Jiu was confident that when the Crown Prince arrived, he could turn the tide and take control of the massive Vermilion Bird Divine City formation.
He was determined to have that Vermilion Bird inner core.
Once he refines this Vermilion Bird inner core, his Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique will officially unlock its second spirit.
When Qi Jiuceng asked Qi Boqi, "Your Highness, if I were to fully cultivate the power of the Nine Spirits one day, would I truly be able to create the heavens?"
When asked about this question, Huang Boqi gave only one word.
roll.
No one knows the origin of this Nine Spirits Heaven-Opening Technique, nor does anyone know its power when cultivated to its peak. It is even uncertain whether one can gather the power of all nine spirits.
