Chapter 84

In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

Amidst the once lush and verdant forest, now a sea of flames, twelve fire crows were flapping and cawing wildly, occasionally spewing out rays of solar true fire, intensifying the blaze.

However, as these fire crows were wreaking havoc, they failed to notice a golden ancient pot suddenly floating above them. The golden pot tipped over, and a red aura flew out, enveloping and binding the fire crows, drawing them directly into the pot.

Subsequently, the golden pot drifted into the hands of Feng Ye, who had been waiting nearby. Feng Ye checked the fire crows inside the golden pot. Only ninety-three? There's still a long way to go to reach three thousand! Feng Ye shook his head.

Then, he took out a compass imbued with the aura of Di Jun. The needle pointed south, and Feng Ye sighed, mounting a cloud and heading south.

How many are three thousand fire crows, and how vast is the primordial chaos? The fire crows don't stay in one place like trees and stones.

The fire crows fly all over, and every time Feng Ye arrives at a location, they suddenly move away. It's like hide-and-seek; it's impossible to catch these fire crows without a few years of effort.

On this day, Feng Ye chased the fire crows to Lishan. By the side of Lishan is the River Jiang, which is the tribe where Yelong's incarnation resides. However, it can no longer be called the River Jiang tribe; perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the Shaodian tribe?

The young man from the Huaxu tribe, named Dian, after becoming the chief of the River Jiang tribe, renamed it the Shaodian tribe. But why does it seem that the tribe is about to split?

Feng Ye, being a Great Golden Immortal, had a clear and wise divine eye. Just by looking at the Shaodian tribe, he could see that the tribe's fortune had already split into two. Part of the fortune was moving downstream along the River Jiang.

Feng Ye frowned. Isn't Yelong there? Why would the tribe's fortune split? When Feng Ye contacted his incarnation, he saw that his incarnation was on the verge of death, with his eyes tightly closed and in a coma, no wonder he didn't contact him.

Is this an epidemic? Feng Ye calculated and understood the cause. This is the essence of the witch ancestor Shubi! When Shubi died, a strand of his essence was left behind, causing the entire tribe to be infected with the epidemic, including Yelong.

How annoying! These great deities don't even let people rest in peace after death. One Di Jun, three thousand fire crows, and now the epidemic caused by Shubi's essence, truly "when one is down, even cold water can hurt."

As for the tribe's split, it was also due to the epidemic. The chief, along with some of the tribespeople, was unwilling to abandon the elderly, sick, and weak, and leave their homeland to relocate the tribe. Therefore, they stayed to take care of the tribespeople, hoping to save them with the budding medical knowledge of the human race. However, some of the young people, taking advantage of not being infected yet, directly fled to the direction of the River Ji.

Thus, the Shaodian tribe naturally split into two. However, this might be the will of heaven, Feng Ye pondered. The Shaodian tribe that fled to the River Ji should be the later Youxiong tribe.

Not thinking too far ahead, Feng Ye refocused his attention on the present, feeling worried. Looking at the black cloud above the Shaodian tribe, he hesitated.

Yelong had some magical artifacts protecting him, yet he still contracted the epidemic. It seems he needs to be cautious.

Feng Ye, after all, did not follow the path of mental cultivation and did not have a pure and spotless body that could resist dust and toxins. He also did not have the indestructible golden body of physical cultivation. His defense against this malevolent aura was indeed low.

If he were to come into direct contact, Feng Ye was afraid something might happen to him. After all, he didn't know how powerful Shubi's essence was. However, Shubi's poison in the past had killed a Quasi-Saint, and its ferocity was well-known. Therefore, it was worth being extremely cautious.

Feng Ye looked at the fire crows in the Ten Thousand Crow Pot, and an idea came to mind.

Feng Ye activated his magic, releasing the fire crows. As soon as they emerged, they turned half the sky red. Feng Ye recited a spell, driving the fire crows to fly over the Shaodian tribe, each one absorbing a strand of the epidemic's malevolent aura, then flying back into the Ten Thousand Crow Pot. He intended to use the solar true fire inside the pot to refine the malevolent aura.

After all, the fire crows were spirits of fire, not flesh and blood, so the malevolent aura had no effect on them.

The fire crows continuously shuttled between the black cloud of malevolent aura and the Ten Thousand Crow Pot, carrying back strands of the epidemic's malevolent aura and depositing them into the pot.

Inside the Ten Thousand Crow Pot, boundless flames burned fiercely. Using the power of these flames, Feng Ye began to refine the malevolent aura of the epidemic.

In the end, the fire crows brought back all the malevolent aura, depositing it into the Ten Thousand Crow Pot. The fire crows also entered the pot, helping Feng Ye by spewing out solar true fire to refine the malevolent aura.

After relentless effort, the malevolent aura condensed into a gray crystal, which could no longer be refined. Reluctantly, Feng Ye took out a talisman and sealed the crystal. After all, who knew if the crystal was toxic, so it was better to be cautious.

At this moment, a beam of light flew to Feng Ye and said, "Greetings, Master!" It was Yelong's incarnation. Without the malevolent aura in his body, even the remaining toxins were no longer a problem. Sensing Feng Ye's arrival, he came over directly.

"These years of taking care of this place have been hard on you, but the Shaodian tribe has already emerged. It seems that person won't last much longer!" After saying this, Feng Ye took out a stack of talismans and handed them to Yelong's incarnation.

"Later, you will collect rootless water, light these talismans, and scatter the ashes into the water to create a talisman water. Feed it to the tribespeople, and the epidemic will naturally be eliminated!"

"Great kindness!" Yelong took the talismans and was about to leave.

At this moment, Feng Ye suddenly called out to Yelong, "Wait, hand over the Litu to me. It will be of great use in the future!"

After receiving the Litu and sending Yelong away, just as Feng Ye was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice: "I have placed the Stabilizing Pearl in the Yunmeng Marsh! You can go and get it! Remember, pretend it was a stroke of luck, and don't let your brother discover it. There are quite a few fire crows causing chaos there, so you can use that as an excuse!"

Although Nüwa had agreed to help Feng Ye obtain the Stabilizing Pearl, since their initial deal was made behind Fuxi's back, it was better to keep everything in the dark.

Therefore, Nüwa's plan was to take advantage of Feng Ye's distant travels to capture fire crows and secretly hand over the Stabilizing Pearls to him.

Hearing Nüwa's words, Feng Ye's expression remained unchanged as he changed direction and slowly flew toward the Yunmeng Marsh.

The Yunmeng Marsh was a vast marsh in the primordial chaos, with abundant water sources and rich spiritual energy. It was not something a few fire crows could dry up. Many immortals and deities, attracted by the spiritual energy, had settled there. Feng Ye thought there should be no major danger, and even if there were fire crows, they should have been dealt with.

However, when Feng Ye arrived, he realized how many fire crows Nüwa meant. One hundred! A full one hundred fire crows, working together, could rival a Great Golden Immortal. The immortals and deities in the area had long fled, and those who remained were likely dead.

Be cautious! Be extremely cautious! Feng Ye thought solemnly. These were not the usual fire crows, whose maximum power was that of a Golden Immortal, which he could suppress with his cultivation.

But now, the solar true fire of the Great Golden Immortal level could burn him to death. This was not the time for a direct confrontation.

Moreover, Feng Ye looked down and saw that the waters of the Yunmeng Marsh were almost dried up, and the aquatic creatures were barely surviving. The solar true fire was falling everywhere, and he had lost the advantage of the terrain.

After a moment's thought, Feng Ye took out a golden talisman and activated the true fire to light it. A wisp of blue smoke rose, reaching the Thirty-Third Heaven.

In the Heavenly Court, Fuxi was sitting on his throne, reviewing golden silk documents and making annotations. Suddenly, a wisp of blue smoke flew into the Thirty-Third Heaven, arriving at the Lingxiao Hall and transforming back into a golden talisman on Fuxi's desk.

Fuxi was taken aback, picked up the golden talisman, and understood Feng Ye's intentions. Using his divine eye, he looked down at the mortal world and saw the situation in the Yunmeng Marsh. He couldn't help but smile, "If you want to bring rain, just use your magic. Why use a rain-summoning talisman to seek the Heavenly Court's permission? But it's fine; this way, it can also restore the Heavenly Court's authority!"

The spiritual rain summoned by cultivators is different from the rain from the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court acts in accordance with the will of heaven, and every action is legitimate, allowing it to bring down the rain, which is natural. Besides, only the innate water deities can do this.

As for the rain summoned by other immortals and deities using their magic, without the approval of the will of heaven, if there are no consequences, causing floods or other disasters, it would only benefit a region. Otherwise, the karma caused would be borne by the individual. The rain from the Heavenly Court is different; even if it kills many people, it is part of the will of heaven. It can be said that it is the will of heaven, and what can be done?

Feng Ye, not being an innate water deity, could not bring down the rain. Although Yuan Kui could, he was far away and could not help in this situation.

Moreover, to bring down a rainstorm sufficient to extinguish the solar true fire, the magic required would be difficult to estimate. Given Feng Ye's nature, he would not do it himself. After some thought, he decided it was more practical to use the power of heaven and earth to bring down the rain, with no worries and less personal investment.

Fuxi thought for a moment, picked up his jade brush, and wrote the word "Approved." Then, he took the Imperial Seal of Taihao and stamped it on the golden talisman. Finally, he threw the talisman, sending it back to Feng Ye.

Fuxi, still not satisfied, picked up another piece of golden silk and began to write:

"Given that three thousand fire crows are causing chaos in the primordial chaos, the Virtuous Lord of the Heavenly Court, Hao Yuan Lingxiao Xuanchen Tianjun, has shown great virtue, traveling through the four regions of the primordial chaos, subduing the fire demons, and saving the people from the disaster of the poisonous fire. His virtue is immense! Now, by the decree of the Supreme God Taihao, he is granted the duty of bringing rain and clouds, overseeing the four seasons, to benefit the primordial chaos and save the people!"

After writing it in one breath, Fuxi nodded in satisfaction, picked up the Imperial Seal, and stamped it again. Instantly, a force of the will of heaven descended, infusing the golden silk. Thus, the imperial decree was completed and thrown down, flying directly to Feng Ye.

Bookworm's Teahouse:

Well, yesterday in the reader group, everyone said that Bookworm updates too slowly and demanded two chapters a day. Of course, this means each chapter can't be five thousand words, so let's revert to three thousand. This way, two updates a day would be about six thousand words. As a new writer, I need to find the right pace for updates.

Sigh, I've been tricked into writing another thousand words!

Also, in appreciation of Bookworm's hard work, please increase the favorites and recommendations quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
