Now, the Three Thousand Great Daos accompanied his every movement. With the blessing of his own Dao, every attack would rise another level in power.
"The strongest thing will always become a shackle. Does this count as taking precautions before disaster strikes?"
Shi Qingyun slowly opened his eyes and spoke with some self-mockery. Had it not been a matter of life and death, he would never have taken this path.
He touched his forehead, where the Divine Lotus mark had long since vanished.
He felt some regret. Though he did not know the Divine Lotus's origins, its heaven-defying ability to revive the dead and grow flesh on bare bones was something anyone would envy.
"What a shame it could only be used once."
Just then, the multicolored radiance in the void rapidly flowed into Little Red Bird's body.
An exceptionally piercing cry rang out, revealing Little Red Bird within.
Little Red Bird was now more than twice its previous size, its whole body seeming ready to blaze with crimson flames.
A golden line could be seen shimmering among its feathers.
Its sharp beak gleamed with a cold light, and three long tail feathers drifted through the air behind it.
Its bright, spirited eyes made it look vivid and full of intelligence.
The moment it saw Shi Qingyun, it immediately ran over and rubbed affectionately against him, its eyes brimming with adoration.
"Your meridians have been cleansed and your marrow purified. You've completely cast off your mortal body."
"Your bloodline has even reverted to its ancestral state. Good, I wasn't wrong about you."
Shi Qingyun stroked its head as the divine light in his eyes gradually receded.
"Fate brought us together. From now on, follow me."
"I'll call you Little Red for now."
Little Red seemed to understand Shi Qingyun's words.
