Chapter 304: The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow

The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow was very fast. As a fierce bird with the cultivation of a Venerable and a pure-blooded creature, its flight speed might not be considered the absolute fastest, but among avian species, it was already among the best; traveling hundreds of thousands of miles a day was absolutely effortless.

After flying for about five days like this, they finally arrived at the capital of the Fire Nation, and even caused quite a commotion.

It was understandable; after all, the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's reputation in the Wasteland was terrible. Everywhere it passed, it left a trail of devastation. Therefore, upon seeing this fierce bird appear, the entire capital began to prepare for battle, ready to fight the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow at any moment.

Seeing this scene, Wu Xian also gave the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow a look of disdain, deciding that once they reached Mount Bu Lao in the Profound Domain, he would sacrifice this stupid bird as cannon fodder, lest he be implicated by its reputation in the future.

Fortunately, this awkward situation did not last long. The Human Emperor of the Fire Nation personally issued an order, inviting Wu Xian to enter the imperial palace for a chat, his attitude very gentle, as if he were treating him as an equal.

Wu Xian didn't care either; he let the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow shrink to the size of an ordinary sparrow and perch on his shoulder, then strode into the Fire Nation's imperial city with an arrogant, unbothered gait, not worried at all about being ambushed or anything of the sort.

【So that's how it is. The little friend is the Dugu Baitian who dominated the Cave Heaven secret realm. I originally thought you were just a newly rising genius monster, but now it seems we underestimated you too much before.】

When the Fire Emperor met Wu Xian, he quickly discovered Wu Xian's identity.

It wasn't that Wu Xian hadn't disguised himself, but this was the Fire Nation's imperial city, the place where Dragon Qi was most concentrated. Under the blessing of the Dragon Qi, the Fire Emperor's cultivation realm even exceeded that of the vast majority of the Divine Flame Realm, so naturally, he could see through many hidden things.

Of course, as the saying goes, see through but don't expose. The Fire Emperor used divine sense transmission for this sentence, not revealing Wu Xian's identity and background to his face, which could be considered doing him a small favor.

"Haha, Your Majesty is too kind. I am still young, and there are many areas where I still need to learn from my seniors."

Wu Xian smiled on the surface, but inwardly he secretly complained that the man was an old fox.

However, he didn't say much in the end; after all, this man was the future father-in-law of the Huang Tian Di, so he had to give him that much face.

Soon, after the old man and the young one engaged in some mutual flattery, they began to discuss serious topics, mostly revolving around the current situation of the Butian Pavilion's sacrificial spirit, whether it had truly revived, and Wu Xian also probed from the side about the Vermillion Bird inheritance hidden in the Fire Nation.

"I wonder if the little friend has a marriage partner at home?"

After chatting for a while, the Fire Emperor suddenly said: "I have a daughter named Huo Ling'er, a few years older than you, but she has grown into a stunning beauty, and her personality is very gentle..."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough—"

Wu Xian, who had just taken a sip of fruit juice, almost choked himself.

What does this mean? You want me to cuckold the Huang Tian Di?

Not to mention that he had always prided himself on being a pure-love warrior, sworn to be at odds with NTR, just the risks represented behind this made Wu Xian feel immense pressure; he couldn't muster the courage to take off his pants at all.

Besides, gentle personality... are you sure this is Huo Ling'er, or do you have a second daughter with the same name?

"Uh, can we just be friends without getting married?"

Wu Xian scratched his head, feigning shyness.

The smile on the Fire Emperor's face suddenly stiffened, and flames gradually rose in the gaze he directed at Wu Xian.

"Haha! Children speak without taboos, Fire Emperor, please don't take it seriously."

Wu Xian laughed it off, then changed the subject: "To be honest, this junior is obsessed with cultivation and is not considering other matters for the time being, but I do have an elder brother at home; perhaps he might be interested."

"Oh! The little friend has an elder brother?"

The Fire Emperor's attention immediately shifted, and then, as if thinking of something, he probed: "Could it be that 'Loves Eating Beast Milk' from the Void God Realm?"

The Blood-Handed Demon Child had been back in the Void God Realm for some time, as arrogant and domineering as ever, but compared to more than half a year ago, he had an extra accomplice by his side.

It was said that he was also a bear child named "Loves Eating Beast Milk." Although not as powerful as the Demon Child, he had few rivals in the same realm, and it was suspected that he had opened nine Cave Heavens; even the cubs of some pure-blooded creatures were no match for him.

"Exactly!"

Wu Xian grinned: "My elder brother was a natural Supreme Being, but he suffered a calamity in his youth, which delayed his cultivation. Fortunately, he was able to undergo Nirvana later, and his talent is even better than before. His future is bound to be limitless. The Fire Emperor might want to consider it."

"Ah, this..."

The Fire Emperor was somewhat hesitant. Although he had been promoting his daughter to Wu Xian just now, it was mostly in jest. He hadn't expected Wu Xian to actually have this idea, but the target was his elder brother, which made him hesitate.

"No need to rush, Fire Emperor. This junior just proposed an idea; whether it succeeds or not depends on their own wishes."

Wu Xian said this, but inwardly he was secretly amused.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, after today, the Fire Emperor would inevitably hint at this matter to Huo Ling'er, and given her personality in the original work, if she found out about Shi Hao's identity in the future, she would inevitably cause a huge scene.

That scene... tsk tsk! Just thinking about it felt interesting.

Wu Xian thought to himself, and in his ears, he seemed to hear a faint sigh, but he just took it as an auditory hallucination. He smiled slightly and continued to chat with the Fire Emperor, even engaging in a discussion of the Dao, with both sides gaining quite a bit.

Finally, upon learning that Wu Xian wanted to borrow the teleportation array to go to the Profound Domain, the Fire Emperor readily agreed and took the initiative to provide the materials needed for the teleportation array, saying it was a meeting gift from an elder to a junior.

Wu Xian didn't refuse; whenever he could get something for free, he never held back.

Hum, hum, hum—

Profound Domain, in a remote wilderness.

Accompanied by a strange humming sound, this piece of heaven and earth was trembling slightly.

Immediately after, the void opened, a path of silver light appeared out of thin air, and from it walked a figure as short as a child—it was Wu Xian, who had teleported here from the Wasteland.

He looked at this strange world, turned his head to look at the gradually shrinking void passage behind him, golden flames dancing in his eyes, as if reflecting countless profound runes.

"Teleportation array... it doesn't seem that difficult either. When I go back, maybe I can try it myself."

While muttering to himself, the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow on Wu Xian's shoulder had already flown out, its body swelling in the wind, reaching a thousand feet in size in the blink of an eye.

Wu Xian jumped onto its head and ordered: "Go! To Mount Bu Lao!"

"Ang————!!!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow let out a cry toward the sky, flapped its sky-covering wings, and soared into the sky.

As a Venerable, it had wandered through other realms, including the Profound Domain, so it naturally knew the specific location of Mount Bu Lao.

However, this place was located on the edge of the Profound Domain, a distance of countless mountains and rivers away from Mount Bu Lao. Even if the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's flight speed was astonishing, it would take nearly a month of flying without sleep or rest, and it would also be very damaging to its vitality.

But Wu Xian didn't care about that. From the moment he used the All-Encompassing Hand on it, he had already treated the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow as a tool. Even if it broke, it didn't matter; in the end, he could still make use of the waste and give Mount Bu Lao a not-so-small surprise.

And the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow was very clear about Wu Xian's thoughts, but it did not resist.

Its soul had already been enslaved, completely losing its self. Now, even if Wu Xian told it to challenge an Immortal Emperor, it probably wouldn't even frown.

Just like that, five days passed, and the man and the bird flew millions of miles. And naturally, an outsider as arrogant and notorious as the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow naturally attracted the attention of many forces in the Profound Domain.

Mainly because it was speeding through other people's territory, and not only that, it didn't know how to restrain its aura at all, crashing through mountains and breaking through arrays, as if it had come to seize territory. No one could swallow this insult.

Consequently, first, various cultivation forces came to block the way, and then Venerable-level ancient remnants like the Tao Wu, Ming Snake, and Nine Infants came to provoke trouble, trying to give the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow, this outsider, a taste of their power.

But as for the result... the former were fine, at most they just painfully lost their wallets; the latter were miserable, directly roasted and eaten by Wu Xian using Phoenix flames.

I have to say, Venerable-level game is truly extraordinary. Mainly because they are old enough, their flesh and blood contain a large amount of spiritual Qi, and they are very nourishing and chewy!

Another half a month passed. Wu Xian was holding a piece of Green Luan leg and humming while eating, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of undulating mountains ahead, with large patches of purple mist rising, as if an auspicious omen had been born.

With golden flames dancing in his eyes, Wu Xian's gaze pierced through layers of restrictions and reached the depths of the mountain peak. Soon, he saw a huge mountain like a palm, with five-colored light flowing on the surface of the mountain, emitting an inexplicable aura, giving people a feeling of immortality.

Five Elements Mountain!

"Finally here!"

Wu Xian grinned, threw away the Green Luan leg in his hand, and shouted loudly:

"Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow! Ram it for me!"
