Chapter 1322 Heavenly Fire (1)
“That’s… Heavenly Dao Fire?!”
Diqiong gazed at the Nine-Flavored Heavenly Fire and her eyes widened in shock. She couldn’t help but glance at Su Ping. “Where did you get it? Didn’t they already ban it? Has it been found again?”
Su Ping was stunned. Heavenly Path Fire?
“I acquired it from another universe where gods gather. It’s known as the Nine-Flavored Heavenly Fire there…” Su Ping looked at Diqiong and asked, “What do you mean by ‘banned’? And who are ‘they’?”
“Gods?”
Dazed, Diqiong looked at the hopping fire in the universe of chaos. “What are gods? I’ve never heard of them, do they descend from some sorcerers? Nine-Flavored Heavenly Fire… Might as well call it the Nine-Realm Heavenly Fire. After all, it contains the power of the original nine realms…”
“The original nine realms?”
Su Ping looked at her in surprise, feeling that he was touching upon yet another ancient secret. He wasn’t surprised to find that she didn’t know gods. After all, the Golden Crows had been secluded for a long time; it was normal to be unaware of the outside world.
Diqiong snapped out of her pondering and shook her head. She stared at Su Ping and asked, “Where did you get the Heavenly Fire? How are things outside?” “Just like I said, I acquired it in another universe from the gods.” Seeing how serious she was, Su Ping asked, “Is there anything unusual about this thing?” “This is the fire they control; it can burn through all worlds!” said Diqiong solemnly, “The appearance of Heavenly Fire is the sign of a catastrophe. You haven’t seen them? Right; you would have died if you had. They must have left this fire when they walked; it is indeed rather weak right now…”
“Who do you mean by ‘they’?”
“I can’t tell,” said Diqiong gloomily, “I’m too weak to tell you their names and deeds. If I do, they will sense me and track me down all the way to our ancestral planet.”
“You can’t even talk about them?” Su Ping was stunned. What kind of power was that? He was sort of a God King at the moment, but he wouldn’t know if anyone badmouthed him beyond his perception range. He couldn’t even imagine how they could know that!
“I’ll take you to the elder; he can tell you more.” Diqiong suddenly pulled Su Ping’s arm and glanced at the fire in his universe of chaos. “You want to control the Heavenly Fire? How bold of you; you’d better block it and never show it again.”
“Well….”
He was surprised to see how upset she was, terrified even. However, he knew she definitely had a good reason for that. There was a chance that such a fire originated from a place more powerful than the Golden Crow world.
The Golden Crows had probably been forced into self-seclusion because of that powerful faction.
Was it the power behind the master of the Red Dome Realm?
Su Ping shook his head, denying the possibility. Even if the master of the Red Dome Realm was backed by one of the seven clans, it wasn’t nearly enough to scare the Golden Crows.
Moreover, not even the whole godly realm was enough to scare the Golden Crows.
After all, the Crow elders were already comparable to Ancestral Gods
And Su Ping had seen three of such elders!
The Golden Crows’ ancestor, whom the three elders revered, was an even more unimaginable being!
Su Ping reached the crown of the holy tree soon after. There was an extremely thick branch that was like a vast world. Actually, every leaf of the holy tree contained boundless time and space. At the end of the branch was a nest palace.
Su Ping had been there once. At that moment he flew with Diqiong and soon reached the nest palace. Two Golden Crow guards were watching over the place. They were enormous; Su Ping then found that they were both God Emperors, much more terrifying than the elders he had met in the Heaven Path Institute.
“I need to speak to the elder for an urgent matter,” said Diqiong in a hurry.
The two Golden Crows looked at each other. One of them said in a low voice, “Please wait for a moment; I will immediately report the matter.”
The Chief Elder’s old voice resounded, “That won’t be necessary. Just let them in.”
Su Ping then felt that he was enshrouded by some sort of power. The scenery changed and he found himself inside the nest palace. There was a boundless universe inside, where countless stars shone brilliantly. The young man seemed to be floating in space; in front of him was a majestic Golden Crow.
“Chief Elder.”
Diqiong recognized the place and was stunned, not expecting the Chief Elder to directly take them into his universe.
“I inferred that there was something very important you wanted to talk to me about. This is my universe. Young human friend, feel free to talk about anything.” The Chief Elder slowly turned around while swallowing a brilliant star, hot steam coming out.
Su Ping was stunned by what he saw. Legend had it that the Golden Crow transformed into the sun, but he had just seen one eating the sun this day.
Before Su Ping opened his mouth-Diqiong felt the urge to inform, “Chief Elder, he’s carrying the Heavenly Path Fire!”
The Chief Elder widened his eyes. “Is that so?!
Su Ping was quite straightforward too. He opened his universe of chaos and revealed the Nine-Flavored Heavenly Fire, then said, “I’m here because I hope you can teach me how to control it.”
