Chapter 54: Light Core

Shalier's words left them all stunned.

"What kind of thing are you sending?" the Great Prince asked, though he thought to himself that it must be an acquaintance from the Heavenly Court, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to enter so easily.

The other nine Golden Crow Crown Princes clearly thought the same, so they all looked at Shalier with anticipation.

Shalier slowly extended his hand, and a crystal flickering with bright white light floated in his palm.

Seeing this, the Great Prince couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

Shalier smiled slightly and said, "This is a Light Core. Once refined, you can enhance your comprehension of the Light Law Rice."

Upon hearing this, the ten of them were all quite surprised.

As members of the Great Sun Golden Crow Clan, they cultivated the Sun Rice, which inherently contained Law Great Daos such as Flame, Light, and Heat.

Now that there was an object that could improve their cultivation of the Law Great Rice, they were naturally quite excited.

"You only brought one? How are we supposed to split this?" The few of them looked at the Light Core with slight greed, then spoke up with dissatisfaction.

"It's very simple. You can refine this one together, and then you can go to the Western Continent to search. There is a race of beings there called the Angel Clan, and every one of them has one on their person!" Shalier said naturally.

The ten Golden Crow Crown Princes shook their heads and said, "That won't work. We've tried, but we can't get out at all. We can only take turns following the Sun Star as it rises every day, and we must also guide the light of the Sun Star to shine upon the land every day."

At this moment, the Great Prince also said, "Last time, there was a slovenly old Daoist who said he could help us guide it, but he was just a liar!"

"That's right, that's right! Next time I see him, I'll definitely make him pay!"

The other princes also nodded and cursed.

Hearing this, Shalier grinned.

He then said, "Once you refine this Light Core, you will be able to pass through the Great Array and enter the Primordial Land! Not only can you go search for Light Cores, but you can also go settle the score with him."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, the ten of them immediately had eyes gleaming with light.

However, they soon became hesitant again.

After all, the memory of being caught by their uncle Donghuang Taiyi and then criticized by their father the last time they went out was still fresh in their minds!

Just then, Shalier said, "Why don't you refine the Light Core first, and then consider whether to go out or not!"

The brothers looked at each other and agreed to this suggestion; it wasn't as if they couldn't all go out, at worst they could just take turns going out to play at night after finishing their work.

Thinking of this.

The brothers reached out their hands and exerted force together to refine the Light Core.

What they didn't know was that as they refined it, Shalier's complexion became increasingly pale, yet he began to smile eerily.

The Light Core grew smaller and smaller until it vanished completely.

"Mmm~ This feeling is so comfortable!"

After waking up, the ten Golden Crows all felt that their comprehension of the Light Law Rice had deepened significantly, and they were all somewhat addicted to the feeling of improvement gained during the refinement!

It was just that they didn't notice that after the refinement, they were all now carrying a dense aura of calamity.

Blinded by the aura of calamity, they were still obsessed with the feeling of improved comprehension.

Once they all came to their senses, they felt a trace of longing, their eyes glancing toward the Great Array from time to time.

Seeing this, Shalier couldn't help but smile slightly: "Alright, my work is done, so I will be taking my leave!"

The Golden Crows had no objections to this; in fact, they wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

After Shalier truly left the Tanggu Jieyu, the ten of them were left staring at each other.

"Big Brother, I want more!" the Ninth Golden Crow said, looking at the Great Golden Crow pleadingly.

"I want more too!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Golden Crow Crown Princes all clamored that they wanted to try that feeling again.

"Enough! Didn't that Shalier say? Once we refine the Light Core, we can easily pass through the Great Array!"

As he spoke, he looked at his nine younger brothers and said proudly, "I am the eldest brother, so let me be the first to go out and play tonight."

They naturally didn't want to agree to the Great Golden Crow Crown Prince's words, as each of them wanted to be the first to go out today.

Thus, they all clamored that they should be the first.

Then, in a situation where no one could agree on who should go out first.

The Great Golden Crow immediately made the final decision: "No need to argue, we will all go out to play together. If the worst comes to the worst, we will ask the God Queen to save us when we return, and Father shouldn't punish us too severely!"

Upon hearing that they would all go out together, they were all unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts.

Thus, they transformed into their true Golden Crow forms, soared into the sky, and flew toward the Primordial Land outside the Tanggu Jieyu.

After they flew away from the Tanggu Jieyu, two figures appeared out of thin air, watching the ten Golden Crows flying far away; one of the pot-bellied figures couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

"Let's go, let's go meet that Great Witch Houyi who has embarked on the path of revenge!"

With that, he took the lead and slowly disappeared.

Above the East Sea.

The ten golden birds had excitement in their eyes, and as they flapped their wings, the Sun True Fire that ignited spontaneously surged and billowed.

At this moment.

Their thoughts were to be the first to reach the Far West and the first to obtain a Light Core.

To be the first to refine a complete Light Core.

One-tenth of the amount was enough to make them excited for a long time, let alone a complete one.

Therefore, the ten Golden Crows were particularly excited at this moment.

However, they had forgotten.

Under the illumination of the surging Sun True Fire on their bodies, the seawater of the East Sea evaporated in an instant.

The corpses of countless marine creatures floated up, and the pile of corpses on the sea surface was several meters high.

Just as the ten Golden Crows were about to enter the airspace above the Primordial Land.

The forces of the Witch and Demon Clans soon noticed, and they all reported the situation to their superiors.

As for those ten Golden Crows, they were quite diligently continuing to flap their wings and fly rapidly toward the East Sea Coast.

They were as if in a race, all heading together toward the Primordial Land.

They did not even care in the slightest about the flood dragons that emerged below, which were their favorite food, and continued flying toward the land without stopping their movements.

At the foot of the mountain behind the Dayi Tribe.

During this period, besides going out to hunt, Houyi spent almost all his other time either searching for the Demon Race or on the road to shooting and killing the Demon Race.

Just at this moment, a shout rang out within the Dayi Tribe.

"Great Witch! Great Witch!"

A Wu Clan warrior revealing his Witch Battle Body was seen running from within the tribe with huge strides.

In the process of running, his body was also gradually shrinking.

Subsequently, a tall and bold Wu Clan man walked out from a thatched cottage.

Following behind him was a young human woman.

The Wu Clan man looked toward the sound and saw one of his own Dayi Tribe lads running over.

"Li, what is going on?"

Looking at the anxious Li, Houyi could not help but stop him and ask.

"Great Witch, those ten beasts you told me to keep an eye on have come out again, and they will soon reach the Yellow River Basin!"

Hearing this, the Great Witch Houyi widened his eyes and immediately shouted in anger.

"Very well, these ten beasts actually dare to come out again. No! I cannot let them enter the Yellow River Basin again, otherwise many people will die or be injured again!"

Saying this, Houyi immediately turned around and went into the house.

Before long, he brought out a bow.

Then he turned his head and said to the woman: "E, you go home, do not go out to work today! I will be back soon!"

As he spoke, he prepared to rush toward the east.

Watching the back of him leaving anxiously, E could not help but shout: "Yi, you must be careful!"

Houyi waved his hand and, without looking back, stepped with firm strides and ran rapidly toward the direction of the East Sea.

Just as he was about to use earth-traveling witchcraft, Li, who was beside him, suddenly called out to stop him.

"Great Witch, wait for me!"

Upon hearing this, Houyi turned his head to look at him, then frowned and said: "Li, you go back to the tribe!"

"Great Witch, I have some Witch artifacts here that I brought from other tribes, let me give them to you to use!" As he spoke, he prepared to take them out from his Witch Bag.

Houyi had originally thought that what he was taking out was merely an ordinary Witch artifact, and was just about to refuse.

Then he saw Li take nine pitch-black, arrow-shaped Witch artifacts out of the Witch Bag!

This caused him, who had just been about to speak his refusal, to pause involuntarily, and he could not help but take these nine arrow-shaped Witch artifacts.

When he took them, he immediately sensed a cold chill surging from these Witch artifacts into his hands.

This could not help but make him pause, and he asked in surprise: "Li, where did these Witch artifacts come from?"
