[ The Reincarnation Nether Crow: The remnant body of an ancient Devil God resides in the Nether Sea. There are ninety-nine Nether Crow, born from the power of an ancient being known as the ' Nirvana Dao Venerable.' After defeating the Old Devil ' Nine Nether Dao-Devouring Phoenix,' who attempted to devour reincarnation, the raven tore its Imperishable demonic soul into ninety-nine pieces, casting them into the Nether Sea's origin. Reincarnation Devil-Refining Grand Formation was then set up, using the power of reincarnation as the furnace and the stillness of the Nether Sea as the fire, eternally burning and tempering its demonic nature, transforming it into the ' Reincarnation Nether Crow.' Thus, the Nether Crow and the Nether Sea share a common origin and Imperishable Undying. Over countless years, the Nether Crow have gradually awakened from their dazed state, their demonic nature largely eliminated. For millennia, they have sought help, but no one knows their origins, let alone how to deal with them... They are curious about you and hope you can solve their problem.]

"I see..."

Han Xuanji understood immediately.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly unremarkable Nether Crow has such an astonishing origin, involving ancient powerful beings and Old Devil.

That " Nirvana Dao Venerable " Tongtian abilities, and this Nine Nether Dao-Devouring Phoenix, judging from its name, was clearly not a benevolent being.

However, this guy's personality has probably changed a lot.

The Nirvana Dao Venerable originally intended to use an array to eliminate its demonic nature before subduing the Nine Nether Dao-Devouring Phoenix.

However, as time passed, the Nirvana Dao Venerable disappeared without a trace. During the High Antiquity war between immortals and demons, the Nirvana Dao Venerable's Reincarnation Devil-Refining Grand Formation was destroyed, and the Nether Crow was doomed, unable to recover.

The Nether Crow felt a chill run down its spine under Han Xuanji, flapped its wings, and cawed:

"Hey bro, what are you staring at me for?"

"Could it be that I've picked up something bad on me?"

Han Xuanji withdrew her gaze, her tone calm:

"There's nothing bad about it; it's just a forgotten cause and effect."

"Gah?"

The Nether Crow seemed to be struck by lightning, instantly stiffening and forgetting to flap its wings, falling straight down from the sky. Fortunately, it reacted in mid-air and fluttered back up in a disheveled manner, its pair of green eyes wide open like copper bells.

"Boss, do you know my background?"

The Nether Crow's cry was shrill and distorted, and its feathers bristled.

Even Ouyang Lan was speechless, as this was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.

The origin of the Nether Crow is incredibly mysterious. It existed in High Antiquity times, and even countless powerful beings cannot figure out its origin.

Unexpectedly, Han Xuanji seemed to know a lot about the Nether Crow.

Could it be that Han Xuanji's origins are even more ancient, perhaps even more so than the Reincarnation Immortal King?

Ouyang Lan had many inexplicable speculations in her mind.

"I will do anything, even die, to ask for your help! Please, senior, save me! Please, senior, grant me release!"

As if grasping at a straw, the Nether Crow flapped its wings and flew to Han Xuanji's feet, repeatedly banging its head against the cold ground, its posture so humble it was practically dust.

Han Xuanji was puzzled by Nether Crow's reaction.

Does this guy not know anything?

You have no memory of anything?

"Um, I remember a little bit."

The Nether Crow honestly replied:

"I remember being really good at it before, but that's all in the past. I only reminisce about it occasionally; I don't remember anything else."

"I've asked various races about my origins before, but none of them knew anything about me. Some even tried to take me away, but they were attacked by the Nether Sea and died instantly."

"However, in recent years, I've remembered more and more things."

The Nether Crow's words were light and airy, yet they revealed many hidden secrets.

"Yeah."

Han Xuanji realized that the other party was not lying.

However, breaking the seal on the other party will not be easy. It is clearly a game between Old Devil and a primordial powerhouse, a game between beings above the Daluo level. The consequences and risks involved are something he absolutely does not want to bear.

Through the Divine Pupils of Fate, Han Xuanji see chains of divine Principle containing the ultimate meaning of Ji Mie and Reincarnation True Intention, deeply rooted in the origin of the Nether Crow, almost merging with it.

Faced with the hopeful look in Nether Crow's eyes, Han Xuanji remained calm and noncommittal.

"There's nothing I can do about it now."

Upon hearing this, Nether Crow lowered his head considerably, but after carefully listening to Han Xuanji's words, hope returned.

Being powerless now doesn't mean there's no way to do it in the future.

"Wait for the right opportunity; things may change."

"Variable?"

The Nether Crow seemed to understand, but not quite.

Han Xuanji didn't offer much explanation.

It wasn't that he wanted to be a riddle teller, but rather that heavenly secrets couldn't be revealed.

If it is leaked, more changes will occur in the future, making it even more difficult to achieve one's goals.

Han Xuanji wasn't simply trying to be a good person; there were also many hidden benefits associated with Nether Crow.

Putting everything else aside, that sealed place is most likely a place rich in Dao essence, and the rewards won't be small.

However, Han Xuanji would not rush there now, since he did not know how many people were eyeing the Nether Crow, nor did he know the relationship between these ninety-nine Nether Crow.

Let's make plans when I'm stronger.

Han Xuanji had a clear goal: he had achieved his objective in this trip to the Nether Sea and could return now to digest the rewards he had earned from signing in at the Reincarnation Immortal Hall.

Everything should prioritize improving one's own strength.

The more Han Xuanji learned, the more dissatisfied he became with his strength as Taiyi Golden Immortal, feeling that he was still too weak and insecure.

Even Daluo Golden Immortal isn't enough; something even stronger is needed.

After their conversation, the Nether Crow seemed to be lost in thought and became much quieter.

Ouyang Lan quickly took away the treasures from the inheritance site, leaving nothing behind.

Leaving the main hall, Han Xuanji's gaze swept over the ancient Reincarnation Immortal Hall, then he looked at Ouyang Lan and said calmly:

"You should have a way to leave now, so I don't need to go through the trouble of taking you with me."

Ouyang Lan nodded and bowed deeply to Han Xuanji once more.

"I will never forget your kindness, senior, and I will repay you if I achieve anything in the future."

Her gaze was complex, filled with awe, but she knew that their fate had come to an end. So she transformed into a beam of clear light and fled towards the Nether Sea.

Han Xuanji glanced at Nether Crow and said calmly:

"Let's wait..."

Upon hearing this, Nether Crow gave Han Xuanji a deep look, as if trying to memorize Han Xuanji's aura.

It let out a low cry as a farewell, then flapped its wings and took flight, transforming into a black shadow that merged into the boundless grayness of the Nether Sea. However, its flight seemed to be a bit more graceful than when it arrived.

After the two left, Han Xuanji's body was filled with Daoist energy, allowing him to move freely even in the depths of the Nether Sea, and he left the Nether Sea in an instant.

Once back in the Myriad Phenomena Garden, the familiar surroundings put Han Xuanji at ease.

It's safest at home.
