Chapter 1956: The Return of the Vermilion Bird Mirror

The Ancient Dragon Empress was greeted by an incredible sight.

These arrogant Vermilion Birds were kneeling with such reverence toward a little girl? And they were referring to her as Great Empress Vermilion Bird? Wait, why did this little girl seem slightly familiar?

Hey, Xiaolan! An Lin waved at her excitedly.

Little Xiaolan was also quite happy to see An Lin. I came over to see if the Vermilion Birds are being obedient or not. If they dare to be rude to Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, Ill beat them to death!

The nine Vermilion Birds shuddered and immediately lowered their heads. We wouldnt dare! We will abide by the will of Great Empress Vermilion Bird and study conscientiously!

The Ancient Dragon Empress mouth gaped open upon seeing this.

Xiaolan? Great Empress Vermilion Bird?

Had she heard that right?

The female cultivator that could once only hide in a turtle shell against her was now the empress of the Vermilion Bird Tribe? How was this even possible?!

Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, they havent caused any trouble for you, have they? Xu Xiaolan strode over like an adorable, energetic little girl.

N not at all The Ancient Dragon Empress stared blankly at Xu Xiaolan. Um, are you really Xu Xiaolan? You became the Vermilion Bird?

Thats right, but Ill have to ask you to keep this a secret. Xu Xiaolan gave her a friendly smile.

The Ancient Dragon Empress nodded silently.

She felt like her brain was about to short circuit, and she needed some time to recover.

After hearing An Lins recount about what had happened here, Little Xiaolan placed her hands on her hips and scolded all of the Vermilion Birds, telling them to respect their teacher. All of the Vermilion Birds nodded incessantly like obedient little chickens.

After a while, the heaven crushing true intent lesson continued.

Little Xiaolan ran off to play with An Lins beast pets.

All children naturally loved to play. Little Xiaolan was still Xiaolan, but after becoming a child, this tendency to play seemed to have rubbed off on her, and she was constantly struck by the urge to play with all types of little animals.

An Lin had many little animals for her to play with, which included a dog, a butterfly, a monkey, a snow beast, a wolf

Meanwhile, Xiao Hong was still the same old Xiao Hong. Even though she was now a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure, all she did all day was to sit still at the summit of Full Moon Mountain, sunbathing and singing in her sweet voice.

An Lin had some spare time on his hands and took this time to examine the divine tools he had obtained.

All eight divine tools were very interesting and were worthy of research.

The next day, a familiar guest came to the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

Hahaha, long time no see, Mr. An Lin. I heard from Tian Yu that youve been doing quite well recently. Emperor Ziwei descended with a smile on his face.

Ive been doing alright. Ive only earned a few billion spirit stones as well as a few divine tools and divine pills. An Lin smiled.

Emperor Ziweis lips twitched.

F*ck off!

Would it kill him to not flex?!

Emperor Ziwei couldnt take this anymore and immediately cut straight to the chase. Ive repaired your Vermilion Bird Mirror and am here to return it to you.

An Lin was elated to hear this, and he immediately extended a grateful salute. Thank you, Emperor Ziwei!

He accepted the Vermilion Bird Mirror to find that its mirror surface was smooth and flawless once again.

It was always said that broken mirrors couldnt be fixed, but Emperor Ziwei had repaired the Vermilion Bird Mirror. He was truly worthy of his title as the number one tool refinement master in the Kingdom of the Nine States.

Magic mirror, did you miss me? An Lin asked.

Idiot An, you seem to have gotten stronger again? The Vermilion Bird Mirrors tender voice was tinged with a hint of surprise.

An Lin replied in a gentle voice, I can only protect you by continuing to get stronger.

Eurgh Idiot An, when did you get so corny? The Vermilion Bird Mirror shuddered.

An Lin detected the mirrors condition before his brows furrowed.

Why does it feel like your aura is still a little diminished?

Well, of course it is! I almost died, you know! The essence of my being has been irreversibly damaged, and its a minor miracle that Im still alive. The Vermilion Bird Mirror sighed.

She then turned on An Lin in an enraged voice. Dont use me to block God of Creation power next time! Im not an omnipotent mirror!

Er An Lin was feeling quite guilty.

The situation at that time was far too tense for him to think about these things.

However, the Vermilion Bird Mirror had helped him a lot in battles and had turned the tables many times in dire situations. This was an undeniable fact, and it was the reason why he was so happy to see the Vermilion Bird Mirror back in its original condition.

The essence of your being has been damaged? If Im not mistaken, the essence of your being refers to Vermilion Bird essential power, right? An Lin asked.

Thats right! I am a special artifact crafted by the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird, and I was nurtured by her essential power for over ten thousand years! Vermilion Bird essential power is the most regal power in this world! The Vermilion Bird Mirror was quite proud of this for some reason.

Slap!

An Lin slapped a water-droplet-shaped ruby onto the surface of the Vermilion Bird Mirror.

Holy f*ck! Be careful, Idiot An! Wait this is

The Vermilion Bird Mirror was just about to flare up with rage when it was completely stunned into silence.

It could sense extremely rich Vermilion Bird essential power from the ruby.

Not only that, but it even possessed the Vermilion Birds essential dao blood!

Hmm, that feels good! The Vermilion Bird Mirror shuddered involuntarily.

Absorbing this will help you, right? An Lin smiled.

You How do you have something like this? This this is a treasure far more valuable than I am! Youre willing to let me absorb this? The Vermilion Bird Mirror was astonished.

No, its not as important nor as valuable as you. An Lin shook his head.

The Vermilion Bird Mirror shuddered slightly.

This is compensation for when I used you to block a Heavenly Gods attack. Do you like it? An Lin asked with a smile on his face.

I do The Vermilion Bird Mirror adopted a rare, gentle tone. I have a feeling that I will be able to evolve to an even higher level if I absorb this.

Then do it! Im very much looking forward to seeing you evolve. An Lin nodded.

This ruby was one of the three treasures An Lin discovered in the Vermilion Bird treasure vault that exuded energy fluctuations even more powerful than that of a divine tool. This indicated that it was even more valuable than a divine tool.

This was a supreme treasure imbued with the Vermilion Birds essential power and essential dao blood. It was a priceless object, and its aura matched that of the Vermilion Bird Mirror to perfection. An Lin thought about it for a moment before deciding to let the Vermilion Bird Mirror absorb it. Perhaps it would result in an interesting transformation.

Emperor Ziwei looked on with a pained expression. If you give me such a valuable material, I can craft the best divine tool

The Vermilion Bird Mirror IS the best! An Lin issued a command, Magic mirror, absorb that thing!

The Vermilion Bird Mirror: Alright!

Dazzling lights erupted from both the Vermilion Bird Mirror and the ruby at the same time.

Extremely rich and pure Vermilion Bird essential power as well as essential dao blood flowed like a river into the mirror, which was like an insatiable, bottomless hole.

The surface of the Vermilion Bird Mirror became brighter and brighter, and its aura began to soar explosively.

Emperor Ziweis eyes widened upon seeing this. He could sense that the Vermilion Bird Mirror had already elevated two small ranks in just ten minutes!

Rumble

Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky above.

Heaven and earth abruptly dimmed.

This An Lin looked up into the sky with astonishment.
