Chapter 395: 395
Like this, the group spent the next time within the cave . It was time for the Ascended's Realm to come to a close, but even so, Xue Wei had no interest in exiting the cave to look for more resources .
They had enough, and at the same time, it was immensely dangerous outside due to the Luan Bird that was ravaging the entire place .
Although resources were useful, and that danger and fortune coexisted together, Xue Wei had already gotten all the most amazing treasures from the underground world, and a lot of items in the Blue Phoenix Manor .
Xue Wei managed to break through to the Ordinary Saint rank again during the time they were in closed off cultivation . But due to the nine seals on his foundation, he was only able to reach the first layer .
The others, who were also using numerous resources at the same time, had all advanced with a minimum of two layers .
At the same time, they never forgot to feed their luan birds countless resources . During the time they were in the cave, although their resources were abundant, a huge dent had been made in their collection .
As such, they stayed in the cave until the realm began trembling . It was as if the entire world was collapsing, and Xue Wei, alongside the others, gathered in a circle .
"The realm is closing," Xue Wei said, "We will be sent to the place where we entered . "
He looked at Wang Xiaoyun, who was alone by his side . She had not entered the realm alongside them in the Demon Phoenix Continent; she had come through a rift at the Chang'an Continent .
Now that they were being thrown out again, Wang Xiaoyun would be sent back to the Chang'an continent, while the others would end up at the palace in the Demon Phoenix Continent .
Looking at one another, they saw how their bodies turned transparent . The small Luan Birds vanished alongside them .
Xue Wei looked at Wang Xiaoyun, his usual cold eyes were softened, and he said, "Remember our fifty-year promise . "
Wang Xiaoyun nodded her head and smiled . She tightened her embrace on the Luan Bird as if she could get a feeling of security from the bird . It was as if the bird, which was a gift from Xue Wei, would have been a way to relieve her anxiety and discomfort .
But before she had the time to say anything, the figures had vanished from the cave, and the Ascended's Realm was emptied of experts .
Although many had died this time, even more, had survived . Many of the experts had survived by hiding, some had gone to other regions than summer, and not even everyone in summer was within the Blue Phoenix Manor, where the majority of the experts had died .
Xue Wei suddenly felt the world spin around him, his body was floating in the air, and he could see nothing else than darkness .
On one side, it felt as if it took a long time, but on the other, it was a mere moment before his feet landed on the ground, and his eyes saw the light again .
Xue Wei found himself on the same platform that he had been on when he left the Demon Phoenix Continent, and when he looked aside, he saw that all his friends, and around a third of the experts from the Vermilion Bird clan were present . From this, he could see that the survival rate of the Vermilion Bird clan was not too surprising .
He would not have been shocked if the Luan bird had killed all of them .
The vermilion birds all looked at Xue Wei as if they saw the man who had murdered their father .
On Xue Wei's shoulder was a small rainbow-colored luan bird . Hence, they were unaware of the relationship between Xue Wei and the bird that had chased them for a long time in the Ascended's Realm, but upon looking at the others' shoulders, they saw the many Blue luan birds, and their faces twitched .
Now they understood why the male Luan Bird was so angry and aggravated, attacking everything that came into sight, killing wantonly .
"You!" the Vermilion Bird Clan people cursed at Xue Wei . As they saw it, he was the reason so many experts had died in their group . They did not question that he had gotten a whole lot of resources from his trip, while the most they got was when they traveled with him .
In hindsight, they were very jealous of Xue Wei, and many regretted not staying with him . They knew that they had lost a lot, but looking at his group, not one of them was injured or dead .
Amongst the surviving people were the princes . The princes were filled with hatred whenever they looked at Xue Wei, and while they knew they could have done nothing in the Ascended's Realm, they were aware that now things were different . Xue Wei was in their world now; it was easy to take his revenge .
Xue Wei could feel the viper-like stare, but he did not turn his head . He knew exactly who it was from, but he did not think that the princes were worth his attention .
However, what was worth his attention was the Thunder Flame Crown . He had promised Lan that he would get his hands on it, and now he had actually to do it .
Deep in thought, he did not even notice that the Emperor had arrived .
"So many survived this time?" he asked surprised as he looked at a third of the ones who originally entered the realm .
Although he had not said anything, it was common that only a handful would survive due to the many people who entered the realm from all across the world .
