Dual Forms!

Fortunately, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion rushed over and steadily supported him, preventing Lin Mo from falling flat on his face.

"Don't be so tense, relax."

Di Tian, standing to the side, spoke up, "Try to control your body with your mind, letting your body move at your will. The Mystic Bird is not simply a human-beast hybrid, but rather carries the complete bloodlines of both humans and Soul Beast."

"Your current form is your true form as Soul Beast."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo froze on the spot.

He lowered his head, looking at his own black and iridescent bird body, and his disbelieving heart gradually began to waver.

Because, at that moment, he truly had transformed into a bird!

It's not an illusion, it's not a dream.

Could it be...?

Is he really that Heavenly Mandate Mystic Bird?

But as soon as this thought crossed Lin Mo's mind, the tragic experiences of his previous life resurfaced. If Heavenly Dao truly favored him, would his past life have been so miserable?

(Heavenly Dao: ꒦ິ^꒦ິ Little Bird, let me explain!)

Lin Mo shook his head, dismissing the idea.

Seeing that he still didn't believe him, Di Tian had no other choice but to temporarily skip the topic. "If you want to change back, just imagine what you looked like as a human in your mind."

Lin Mo closed his eyes and did as instructed, still somewhat doubtful.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of blue light, and when he opened his eyes again, he had transformed back into a human.

"It's done?!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up instantly!

He looked at his hands, touched his face, and tried again to imagine the appearance of the Mystic Bird in his mind, just like before.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of blue light, and it transformed into a bird.

"Whoosh!"

He turned back into a human.

Good heavens, it can even switch between modes at any time?!

Lin Mo got really into it, his body flashing with azure light as he switched between human and bird forms. Gradually, he mastered the art of flying in his Mystic Bird form.

He knew exactly how to use the wind, flap his wings, and glide, as if those wings were born to him.

"Uh--!"

Lin Mo flapped his wings and soared into the sky, creating a shower of golden light.

"Little Bird! Wait for me!!"

Upon seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion lion immediately took off after it.

Although it cannot fly, it can move freely on the ground and on ancient trees, its agile figure like a golden lightning bolt, frolicking in the shadow below the Mystic Bird!

On the lakeside, Bi Ji gazed at the two figures chasing each other across the sky and ground, and chuckled softly, "Those two little rascals..."

Even Di Tian's eyes showed a rare hint of a smile, and his tone softened considerably:

"It's alright, let the two kids play for a while."

In the sky.

Lin Mo rode the wind, swooped down, and then suddenly pulled up, its wingtips slicing across the lake and creating ripples.

He suddenly realized that he was over fifty years old across his three lifetimes, yet it seemed he had never flown as freely as he was now.

My first life on Blue Star was a short and joyful childhood.

Everyone says that learning should start from a young age.

When I was in junior high school, people said the high school entrance exam was important; when I was in high school, people said the college entrance exam was important; and when I was in college, people said finding a good job was important.

After finally finding a job, the next important things are buying a house and buying a car.

It's funny, actually.

He had just paid the down payment for his RV, hadn't even moved into his new house yet, and hadn't even warmed the steering wheel of his new RV when he was transported through time.

At that moment, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

But then I thought again, if I time-traveled, I wouldn't have to worry about mortgages and car loans, which isn't bad.

As a result, he discovered that in the Douluo Continent he had transmigrated to, human life was as worthless as grass, even worse than on Blue Star. He indeed no longer had to worry about mortgages and car loans; instead, he had to worry about "life loans."

In order to survive, he dared not relax for a moment, but in the end, he still died.

Now, in his third life, Lin Mo dares not relax even more.

Not only must he work hard to cultivate himself and guard against being love-struck, but he must also be constantly on guard against Huo Yuhao poking him in the butt from behind.

And at this moment.

He soared freely in the boundless sky, enjoying the gentle breeze on his face, feeling incredibly exhilarated. All the pent-up frustration from his three lifetimes was released in this moment.

A clear chirping sound pierced the sky, and azure-gold light intertwined with orange-red glow, painting a picture that would make anyone stop and stare in the burning sunset.

The feeling of flying in the form of the Mystic Bird is completely different from that of a human.

This is absolutely amazing!!

After Lin Mo had his fill of fun in the air, he landed back on the ground and transformed into human form, only to find that a Soul Beast had appeared beside Di Tian at some point.

It was a bird that was entirely black, and its appearance was very similar to that of a raven, but it was Sisi times larger. Its body Entanglement in wisps of black malevolent energy, as if it could even devour the light.

What's most striking is its pair of eyes, which are gray and unfocused.

It clearly didn't look at anything.

Yet it gives people the illusion that it sees through everything.

"Senior, what is this?" Lin Mo stepped forward and asked curiously.

"This is the Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow, with a cultivation level of around nine thousand years," Di Tian replied. "Speaking of which, it has some connection with you; it is also a branch descendant of the Mystic Bird."

"The Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow is born from the malevolent energy between heaven and earth, and is born with the ability to absorb malevolent energy. If the Mystic Bird is a symbol of auspiciousness, then this is a symbol of calamity."

"Furthermore, neither Soul Beast nor humans would intentionally provoke the Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow."

"Leaving aside the fact that its malevolent aura would interfere with cultivation and breed inner demons, just the fact that we can even catch it is a problem."

"Why do you say that?" Lin Mo pressed.

Di Tian pointed to Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow's grayish-white eyes, "Do you see its eyes?"

"I saw it."

"Its eyes can foresee the future and discern fate. In other words, it knows in advance who wants to capture it."

"Wow, that's so sneaky!"

Lin Mo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

It can foresee the future and glimpse fate, and it's also shrouded in malevolent energy; no wonder no human or Soul Beast wants to provoke it.

"Of course, this comes at a price."

Di Tian continued:

As the saying goes, "He who peers into the sky, the sky peers into his eyes."

"Therefore, the Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow has been blind since birth, and the lightning tribulations it encounters during each breakthrough are unprecedentedly powerful, which is why the Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow is so rare."

"Because most of them died under the lightning tribulation."

At this point, a hint of melancholy crept into Di Tian's voice. "To this day, not a single Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow has survived a hundred thousand years of lightning tribulation."

"Otherwise, the Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow would surely be among these ten Ferocious Beast."

Lin Mo looked at the Xuan Sha Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow with murderous aura, and seemed to realize something. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then he weakly asked, "Senior, could it be that this is the third Soul Ring you found for me?"

Before Di Tian could even speak, the Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow moved first.

It took a step forward, its claws extended, and the black aura Entanglement it completely receded into its body. Its gray, unfocused eyes looked in Lin Mo's direction.

Then, under Lin Mo's astonished gaze—

Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow slowly lowered its head, covered its dark black wings in front of it, and respectfully bowed to him.

For some reason, Lin Mo felt he could read respect and closeness in the eyes of a blind bird.

Even a trace...

The expectation of being absorbed.
