Chapter 920: Information Regarding the Sun Tree’s Guardian
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hong Feng City was a large city in the northern region of the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation. From a land area standpoint, it was significantly larger than even the holy tree of the Vermilion Bird Sect.
An Lin flew atop his brick toward this city, and he could see birds of all colors flying over Hong Feng City.
Some of them were migrating in groups, while others were traveling alone. All of them spread their beautiful wings, making the sky an extremely colorful place.
A series of crisp cries converged to form the most moving music, which was ethereal and extremely pleasing to the ear.
“Tsk tsk tsk, all the birds here look so energetic.” A blue sparrow flew past An Lin with its chest held high in an extremely arrogant display.
In reality, most of the living beings here were all extremely arrogant and free-spirited. There were no other creatures that could make them bow their proud heads.
An Lin and Xue Zhantian walked along the streets of Hong Feng City.
“Hmph! What are these noobs flexing for? All of them think they’re top s.h.i.+t! Even a Spirit Nurturing Stage spirit beast dared to look down on me! It’s lucky it isn’t dead now!” Xue Zhantian gritted his teeth in rage. If it wasn’t for An Lin holding him back, he would have already rammed all of these birds to death.
“Alright alright, you’re not the only one being looked down on,” An Lin said as he consoled him with a smile. “No foreigner who visits the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation is respected by the birds here.”
“Hmph! I don’t know what they have to feel good about! Where does their sense of superiority come from? They have wings and so do I! They have fur and I do as well!” Xue Zhantian was extremely displeased.
At this moment, a huge owl flew past and looked down at Xue Zhantian with a disdainful expression before bursting into laughter. “Heh… Little midget…”
An Lin: “…”
“F*ck you!” Xue Zhantian’s aura instantly exploded, and he was just about to ram into the giant owl, but he was plucked back by An Lin.
“Master, why didn’t you let me attack? I was going to teach that c.o.c.ky owl a lesson!” Xue Zhantian struggled as he roared.
“Restrain yourself! We’re cultured people who advocate for peace, understood?” An Lin hugged Xue Zhantian’s soft, furry body before continuing onward.
All of the buildings here were constructed from wood. Some were even just a bunch of branches tied together by vines to create a crude house.
Many of them were circular houses with no rooves.
That’s right! They were actually just huge, crude bird nests!
There were all manners of things placed above these bird nests. These things were placed there to be sold. Most of it consisted of great natural products that were formed from gathering the essence of heaven and earth. For example, there were spirit elixirs, medicines, and fruits.
The Southern Heavenly Wing Nation was probably the place across the entire continent where the most spirit fruits and immortal fruits were produced.
They had many plants and many fruit trees, so they naturally had more exotic medicines and fruits as a result.
The fruits were all quite ripe, juicy, and delicious, but that was not what An Lin and Xue Zhantian were here for.
They walked past one house after another before coming to a strange little building with a revolving disc at the top. The entire building consisted of a tree trunk, and it was closed off. It would only open if one was to place a vital stone in the hole on the trunk.
An Lin immediately tossed a vital stone into the hole.
An entry fee of ten thousand spirit stones wasn’t much for Filthy Rich An.
“Caw! Welcome to the Heavenly Knowledge House, my dear customer!” A black crow that had its body merged into the darkness behind it spoke in an extremely hoa.r.s.e voice as it opened its green eyes.
The crow was about the same size as a human, and it sat upright on a wooden chair. The interior of the room was quite dim, with only two b.a.l.l.s of yellow flames burning gently.
“You are the All-Knowing Crow of the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation?” An Lin asked.
The crow chuckled. “That’s right! I am the All-Knowing Crow. As long as you give me enough money, there is nothing I can’t find out for you!”
“Great.” A joyful smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “I want all the information on the guardian of the Sun Tree!”
“Gasp…” The All-Knowing Crow drew a sharp intake of breath as its eyes widened. Even the green in its eyes darkened a few shades as it asked, “The guardian of the Sun Tree is the most mysterious being in our Southern Heavenly Wing Nation. Why would you want information on it?”
“I’m curious. The more mysterious a being is, the more interested I am in it,” An Lin replied with a smile.
The All-Knowing Crow was a little stumped. “I have very little information on the guardian of the Sun Tree myself…”
Xue Zhantian harrumphed coldly with a disdainful expression. “And you call yourself the All-Knowing Crow? What a far-fetched name!”
Boom!
A terrifying power erupted forth, causing the s.p.a.ce within the room to congeal.
The All-Knowing Crow’s aura was like a boundless abyss, giving people the feeling that they were about to be engulfed.
The fur on Xue Zhantian’s body stood up on end as he abruptly recoiled into An Lin’s arms.
Never would he have thought that this ordinary-looking crow would be a mighty figure at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage.
The All-Knowing Crow looked deeply into An Lin’s eyes, whose expression remained unchanged. “You can leave if you like, but you can’t doubt my professional skills.”
Its intentions had been made very clear. Come here if you want, p.i.s.s off if you don’t.
“Tell me all you know!” An Lin didn’t leave. He desperately needed information on the guardian of the Sun Tree.
“Hmm, I don’t know much, but the information I do have is going to be quite expensive. I’ll need three hundred thousand spirit stones…” the All-Knowing Crow replied.
Clatter!
An Lin slapped thirty vital stones onto the table without even blinking.
“It’s a pleasure doing business with someone like you!” The All-Knowing Crow chuckled. Within the darkness, there seemed to be countless projections of tiny crows, and all of them also smiled elatedly.
“The guardian of the Sun Tree is a role undertaken by the member of the Vermilion Bird Tribe with the purest bloodline. Its home is located at the top of the Sun Tree, and it possesses a cultivation base at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage. Apparently, when it unleashes its vermilion bird domain, it could reduce an area within a radius of hundred kilometers from it to ashes. Its connections are quite simple. It has one blood brother.”
The All-Knowing Crow’s eyes flashed. “However… That brother is the current leader of the Vermilion Bird Tribe, the most powerful cultivator in the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, the Eternal Sun G.o.d!
“Even though the Eternal Sun G.o.d is currently not here in the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, I must advise you to exercise caution if you plan to do anything to the guardian of the Sun Tree.”
An Lin’s expression became quite solemn upon hearing this. This information was very important!
However, he had something else he needed to confirm.
“That’s all I know. The guardian of the Sun Tree is the most mysterious being within the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation and even what little information I have on it was obtained through paying a heavy price.” The All-Knowing Crow sighed as it spoke.
“That’s it? I have a question. What gender is the guardian of the Sun Tree?” An Lin asked with a serious expression.
The All-Knowing Crow faltered upon hearing this question. “Is that… important?”
“it’s very important!” An Lin immediately nodded.
No sh*t! He was going to have to kiss this guardian of the Sun Tree!
If it was a male vermilion bird…
Eurgh!
“The guardian of the Sun Tree is female,” the All-Knowing Crow confirmed.
An Lin heaved a sigh of relief. That was the answer he was looking for!
“Thanks!” An Lin cupped his fists happily.
The All-Knowing Crow was perplexed. Why was this human so happy?
What exactly was he happy about?
