I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1918: Friends' Situations

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"An Lin, this Vermilion Bird is a sinister and cunning individual. Although she's all smiles, she's definitely cursed you a million times in her mind already. She might drop her facade and turn on you guys at any moment… So, you must be careful!" Mo Hai secretly transmitted a warning into An Lin and Xu Xiaolan's minds.

"Is that so?" An Lin faltered slightly before adding, "And here I was thinking that this Vermilion Bird was a friendly and easy-going big sister."

"Friendly my a*s! When she needed the divine sense in my ring, she treated me like a king. She even ordered a few haughty Vermilion Birds to transform into beautiful females to dance for me! And then? After absorbing what she wanted, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird immediately turned hostile and exiled me to work in the mines of the Red Vermilion Bird Planet!" Mo Hai couldn't help but feel angry every time he thought about this matter.

An Lin clicked his tongue in wonder upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiaolan instantly put her guard up.

However, the Vermilion Bird bloodline in her body instinctively made her feel friendlier toward the Holy Vermilion Bird Beast.

"Oh, that's right. How are Sister Shangguan Yi and Brother Yang Yuan doing?" Xu Xiaolan asked.

"They were both sucked into this Realm of Stars as well. However, when I arrived at the Vermilion Bird Tribe's territory, I found that they were already gone," Mo Hai said dejectedly.

An Lin stroked his chin. "I have the Ring of the East, and I was teleported to the Azure Dragon Tribe's territory. You have the Ring of the South, and you were teleported to the Vermilion Bird Tribe's territory. Following this logic, Yang Yuan and Shangguan Yi have probably been teleported to the White Tiger Tribe's territory and the Xuan Wu Tribe's territory respectively…"

Mo Hai instantly became panicked. "Sh*t! It can't be that they've also been sent to work in mines, right?"

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both rolled their eyes at him.

Has Brother Mo Hai become mentally challenged due to working in the mines for too long?

Does he really think that all Holy Beasts are as two-faced as the Vermilion Birds? Even if they are, it's not certain that one will be forced to mine for crystals… Perhaps they're forced to drill for oil?

Besides, there's a possibility that Yang Yuan and Shangguan Yi are extremely fortunate and are currently receiving a warm and friendly reception from the Holy Beasts!

An Lin felt like White Tigers were more aggressive and were a tribe that relished violence and battle. As such, it was possible that Brother Yang Yuan would be in some danger. As for Shangguan Yi arriving at the Xuan Wu Tribe's territory, she would definitely take to it like a duck to water.

Shangguan Yi was the reincarnation of the God of Creation Stage Ice Matriarch. Moreover, she possessed a vast and boundless potential now that she had reached the Dao Integration Initial Stage and awoken most of her bloodline memories. If she could get along with the Holy Xuan Wu Beast and work together with it, then they would definitely benefit greatly from each other.

An Lin had heard that beings of the Xuan Wu Tribe were fairly good-tempered. That being the case, Shangguan Yi working with the Holy Xuan Wu Beast to mutually beneficial effects would be fairly easy to achieve, right?

Shangguan Yi's cultivation base would also be able to rise to a new height, right?

However, An Lin's predictions couldn't be further from the truth.

…

In an extremely northern region of the Realm of Stars…

Shangguan Yi had voluntarily returned her Ring of the North, and the Holy Xuan Wu Beast was indeed a good Holy Beast. In order to show its gratitude, it took her to the Mystical Orb Realm to observe the supreme Dao of Mountain and Water. Their relationship had indeed gotten off to a good start.

However, once they arrived below the Mystical Orb Realm, the Mystical Ball in the air mysteriously fractured and split open. A devastating flood instantly engulfed the entire mystic realm and planet. The Xuan Wu Tribe incurred huge losses as a result.

After three full days of emergency works, the Xuan Wu Tribe finally managed to bring the devastating flood under control.

Since the Mystical Orb Realm had leaked some water, the Holy Xuan Wu Beast could only take Shangguan Yi somewhere else.

Thus, it took Shangguan Yi to another realm to appreciate the Xuan Wu Tribe's Rainbow Dao Sky.

Once they arrived there, however, the heavens suddenly opened up and let loose the largest torrential downpour that the realm had seen in tens thousand years. The Holy Xuan Wu Beast was completely baffled. Why? Why is my luck so sh*t?!

Shangguan Yi insisted that she didn't mind, and she simply requested to be sent back to the Tai Chu Continent.

However, how could the Holy Xuan Wu Beast do that? It had received her help, so it was only natural that it had to thank her in some way. How could a Holy Beast not show gratitude? That would be an insult and a dishonor to the title of Holy Beast!

After experiencing a series of unexpected events, the Holy Xuan Wu Beast didn't have much else that it could show Shangguan Yi anymore. Thus, it gritted its teeth and decided to let her observe its most valuable treasure—the Xuan Wu Heart Essence!

This was a paragon treasure that had links to the Holy Dao!

The Holy Xuan Wu Beast spat the Xuan Wu Heart Essence out from its stomach. It then started to proudly describe its unique characteristics and abilities to Shangguan Yi. Afterward, it promised that it would pass the Xuan Wu Heart Essence to her and allow her to observe it for an entire day.

However, before it could even pass the Xuan Wu Heart Essence to Shangguan Yi, the internal elements of the Xuan Wu Heart Essence started to clash violently with its own internal energy. It was clear that it had entered into a rare period of instability.

Such violent instabilities would occur a few times every tens thousand years. Thus, although the Holy Xuan Wu Beast was worried, it was still far from feeling panicked. Right at this moment, however, the chaotic energy currents in the void started to act upon each other due to all kinds of coincidences. After forming all kinds of destructive webs, the chaotic energy currents eventually condensed into an extremely devastating chaotic thunderbolt. Then, booming down at a speed that was too quick for the Holy Xuan Wu Beast to react to, the chaotic thunderbolt ripped through the void and smashed into its Xuan Wu Heart Essence…

Boom!

The Xuan Wu Heart Essence exploded.

The Holy Xuan Wu Beast cried.

It suffered severe wounds due to receiving a backlash, and it could only hurriedly reabsorb the Xuan Wu Heart Essence before immediately going into recluse to meditate and recuperate. It was in such a hurry that it didn't even have time to say goodbye to Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi stood transfixed to the spot with a dumbfounded expression. Eventually, she was arrested and jailed by the Xuan Wu Divine Guardian Squad for the crime of attempting to assassinate the Holy Xuan Wu Beast.

While An Lin was thinking of Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Yi was sitting in a cell and pondering the meaning of life.

In stark contrast, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Yang Yuan—who had been teleported to the White Tiger Tribe's territory—managed to save the Holy White Tiger Beast's favorite daughter. He had used the unique Holy Vermilion Bird Flame in his body to cleanse the frost poison in her body. As a result, he was on the receiving end of incredibly great rewards.

Not only did he receive the Holy White Tiger Beast's core inheritance, but he even received a large amount of other valuable treasures and presents.

However, with great rewards also came a great downside.

Yang Yuan had received the Holy White Tiger Beast's core inheritance and had even managed to break through to the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage. This was initially something to be extremely happy about. However, because he had saved the White Tiger's daughter, she had fallen in love with him and was now madly pursuing him.

Take now for example. He was currently being held down on the floor and furiously licked by the White Tiger's daughter.

All in all, however, Mo Hai's fate was still the most pitiable out of the four owners of the rings.

The pitiful Mo Hai had even thought that the others were toiling away in mines just like him…

…

In the Vermilion Bird Tribe's territory…

The gigantic Vermilion Bird Star blazed with boundless flames as it rested in the center of hundreds of planets.

Eight ordinary-sized stars were currently orbiting around this Vermilion Bird Star. Strangely, however, the surrounding planets were almost completely unaffected by the gravity fields of these eight orbiting stars.

One of the orbiting stars suddenly faltered. Then, it distorted and transformed into an unimaginably large Flame Bird. Its body was an explosion of gold and white, and an aura of destruction was relentlessly unleashed from its body. With a light flap of its wings, it could create scorching heatwaves that were capable of annihilating entire realms of beings.

Right now, however, its body was curled up, and its wings were tightly wrapped around its body. It still looked like a sun, bar for the fact that its head was slightly raised and looking toward a nearby planet. It suddenly spat a few words out from its mouth.

"Vermilion Bird, I have an ominous feeling about this. This matter is brimming with uncertainty."

This was the first being who had directly referred to the Great Empress Vermilion Bird by her name.

…

In the Flame Heart Immortal Realm…

This was the noblest being in the world. She had the most beautiful of feathers, and she was currently shrouded in a brilliant nine-colored holy light. She opened her breathtakingly beautiful eyes and chuckled. "The timing is just right. I can't let this opportunity slip.

"I've already waited far too long for this moment to arrive. Out of the countless inheritors and innumerable descendants, one of them has finally managed to arrive. I don't want to wait any longer."

The white and gold mighty being fell silent. Then, its body slowly melted into the flames and transformed back into a star. As if it had never stopped, it continued to orbit around the colossal Vermilion Bird Star.

At this moment, An Lin and the others had already set foot in the Flame Heart Immortal Realm.
