Go, Sect Master Ball
They had waited ten days in the land of phenomena, only for a bird beast wreathed in crimson flames to emerge—looking like both a Phoenix and a Vermilion Bird!
Jun Changxiao was dumbfounded.
The Eternal Sect higher-ups and disciples were dumbfounded as well.
Wasn't a Mineral Vein supposed to emerge? How had it turned into the birth of a Strange Beast?
"Kyaaaaa—"
The crimson-flame beast let out another piercing cry, containing a certain kingly power that disturbed the several hundred thousand Streamers floating nearby. They gradually transformed into similar shapes and gathered before it, presenting a scene of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.
"This is..." Gongsun Hou said gravely, "the Vermilion Bird clan!"
"The Vermilion Bird clan?"
Jun Changxiao had been in the Upper Realm for so long and had "good" relations with all the major clans, yet he had never heard of such a clan.
"Vermilion Birds possess the bloodline of the divine beast Vermilion Bird. They were originally one of the countless clans in the Upper Realm, but because of their unique nature, they vanish without a trace every hundred thousand years, then are reborn through flames another hundred thousand years later," Liu Sinan explained.
"Nirvana?"
"More or less."
"What a strange clan."
"The Vermilion Bird clan is small in number, but its strength is no weaker than the three great clans. It disappears for a hundred thousand years and undergoes nirvana for another hundred thousand years, making a full cycle of two hundred thousand years. That is why so few records of it exist in the Upper Realm."
Jun Changxiao kept staring at the flame-shrouded bird beast, and soon recalled the egg he had obtained in the Plane Battlefield. After it hatched, hadn't it claimed to possess Vermilion Bird blood?
