Chapter 500 – Golden Crow Inheritance

Yun Che went down in silence, although he had calmed down from the continuous shock, he was also never able to calm down inside. Originally, he had only treated this place as a completely unfamiliar and alien world, where being strong and then finding a way to return to the Tianxuan Continent was the only direction, but now, everything had turned upside down.

Not only was this not just a distant and unfamiliar world, it was also inextricably related to him.

“Yun Che, ask this person what the ‘Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley’ is?” Jasmine suddenly asked out loud, her tone grave. “The ‘Golden Crow Burning Inferno Valley’ was mentioned by both the World’s First and Yun Xiao respectively, and said that it was an excellent place for trials and strange encounters, but the Yun Family was no longer allowed to enter.

“…… Could it be that you suspect that this ‘Golden Crow Burning Inferno Valley’ has a connection with the ancient divine beast ‘Golden Crow’?” Yun Che asked.

“I don’t think it’s just a name coincidence.” Jasmine replied indifferently, “If it’s really related to the ‘Golden Crow’, that could be interesting.”

Yun Che pondered for a while and asked, “Yun Xiao, the ‘Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley’ that you mentioned before, what kind of place is it? The rapid weakening of your Yun Family’s power, and not being able to enter the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley is also one of the reasons why …… this place is really that magical?”

“Uh…… you don’t even know about the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley?” Yun Xiao looked at him with an extremely surprised look.

“This is the first time I’ve come here to train, and my master has never spoken to me about the Illusory Demon Realm, so this is the first time I’ve heard of the name Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley.”

Yun Che’s words were quite not false, but Yun Xiao naturally couldn’t possibly hear that he was from a different world in this regard, he nodded and whispered, “Big Brother Yun is so powerful, it really isn’t without a reason, it seems that when you are cultivating, you really aren’t distracted at all……. This place, the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, even though I’ve never been able to enter it it, but I’m very familiar with it, I grew up hearing the name from all of them, because, that’s the place of origin of the Illusory Demon King Clan’s originator.”

“Place of Origin?” Yun Che was stunned.

“Hm.” Yun Xiao nodded, “Big Brother Yun, have you ever heard of the ancient divine beast ‘Golden Crow’?”

“I’ve heard of it. Vermilion Bird, Phoenix, and Golden Crow, the three great fire supreme beings of the ancient times.” Yun Che nodded his head. And in his body, the bloodline of the phoenix still flowed.

“The reason why the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley is called that is because the power inheritance of the divine beast Golden Crow exists in it.”

“Oh?” Yun Che looked sideways suddenly, and in his mind, Jasmine’s low voice also resounded, “Indeed! But it’s really strange, the Blue Extreme Planet is obviously just a lowly planet, why would so many divine power inheritances exist …… Phoenix, Dragon God, Golden Crow, and even the Evil God’s divine power seed exists in this world …… Could it be that during the ancient times, this world once had something special happen?”

“This …… is strange?”

“More than strange, it is by no means normal.” Jasmine whispered, “Divine power inheritance, 9999 out of 10,000 are concentrated in the realm of the gods, among the trillions of planets in the great thousand worlds, it is estimated that it is difficult to survive in one billion planets that can exist with a divine power inheritance, and even the star worlds with a higher realm are also one out of hundreds of millions, and a small Blue Extreme Planet, nowadays, the ones that have been discovered will already have four, oh, and to be added with the inexplicable emergence of a God of Battle Xia Yuanba of the Xuan Vein! The Yun Family’s Xuan Gang, it may also be some sort of ancient True God’s power …… If this matter were to spread out, even the Realm of the Gods would be enough to startle!”

Yun Che: “……”

Yun Xiao continued, “The ancestor of the Illusory Demon King Race was only a demonized Neon Rainbow Colored Sparrow back then, but later on, it unintentionally opened the inheritance left behind by the Golden Crow Divine Beast in the Thunderflame Valley, obtaining the Golden Crow Bloodline and Golden Crow Flame Power, thus becoming invincible in the entire Illusory Demon Realm, and later on, the races took it as their emperor, becoming the first Demon Emperor of the Illusory Demon Realm. Later, its continuously reproducing race, which is the current Illusory Demon King Clan, was the descendant of the self-proclaimed Golden Crow, and by the heavenly blessing of the divine beast Golden Crow, the Leiyan Valley was also renamed as the Golden Crow Leiyan Valley, and it became the first sacred place in the Illusory Demon Realm.”

“The elemental aura of the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley is extremely thick and heavy, filled with strong flames and thundercloud power, and constantly generating all kinds of powerful fire spirits, thunder spirits, as well as all kinds of fire and thunder demonic beasts, likewise, all kinds of heavenly treasures that are hard to find elsewhere are also extremely easy to derive in it. Therefore, entering within the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley, one can not only get a good experience, but also easily obtain all sorts of strange encounters, and almost everyone who enters the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley will be able to have a considerable harvest, and some will even be able to soar to the heavens.”

“Those who are qualified to enter the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley are also only the Illusory Demon Royal Clan and the twelve guardian clans, both of which are fixed to enter once every five years. But since the incident a hundred years ago …… our Yun family is no longer allowed to enter. After the young generations of the other guardian families entered the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley, many of them would get a metamorphosis or even sublimation of their strength after they came out, whereas our Yun Family, we could only keep watching with bated breath ……”

Yun Xiao slowly exhaled a breath with a gloomy look on his face. He had reached today’s age and was still the Yun Family’s young family head, but he had never been able to enter the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley …… even the opportunity to enter and take a look at it.

“So it is.” Yun Che gently nodded: “That is to say, the Illusory Demon Royal Family all possess the bloodline of the Golden Crow, and also possess the inflammation power of the Golden Crow, so no wonder it has become a royal family that is worshipped by all in the world.”

“This …… is not true.” Yun Xiao, however, unexpectedly denied, “The Illusory Demon King Clan’s people do all possess the Golden Crow’s bloodline, but they are all passed down from generation to generation, and their bloodlines are all very thin. The Xuan fire they burn, although it is much more powerful than normal Xuan fire, it is simply not considered to be the power of the Golden Crow …… The last one to truly possess the power of the Golden Crow was the Demon Emperor who has passed away.”

“Why is this? Aren’t they all clearly inheriting the Golden Crow’s bloodline?” Yun Che said in surprise.

“Because, only by obtaining the recognition and bestowal of the Golden Crow’s Soul can one obtain the Golden Crow’s Flame Arcane Technique ‘Golden Crow Burning World Record’, otherwise, one can only rely on the Golden Crow bloodline and burn arcane flames with the attributes of the Golden Crow. In the Illusory Demon King Clan, other than the Demon Emperor, what everyone else cultivates, are other flame arcane techniques.”

“The Golden Crow Burning World Record …… Does it mean that this Golden Crow’s Flame Arcane Technique cannot be passed down to others?” Yun Che’s brows furrowed…… “The name ‘Golden Crow Burning World Record’ was not the first time Yun Che had heard of it. Jasmine had mentioned it to him a few years ago: the “Vermilion Bird Comforting Spirit Song”, “Phoenix Ode to the World Canon”, and the “Golden Crow Burning World Record” were the three major “Burning World Heavenly Books” that had shaken the Great Millennium World back then.

“Right! The Golden Crow Burning World Record can only be inherited from the Golden Crow Soul. The Spirit of the Golden Crow exists at the end of the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley, which is called the Golden Crow Sacred Ground, and is only allowed to enter once every thousand years. And the only key to enter there …… is the ‘Demon Emperor Seal’ that was strayed in the Tianxuan Continent because of my grandfather.”

Yun Che: “……”

Yun Xiao helplessly said, “The Golden Crow Sacred Ground can be entered once in a thousand years, so the Demon Emperors are all succeeded once in a thousand years as well, when the Demon Emperor Lord died in the hands of those evil people a hundred years ago, he also just happened to be about to reign for a thousand years, and after the Little Demon Emperor succeeded to the throne, he would be able to use the Demon Emperor’s Seal to enter the Golden Crow Sacred Ground, and obtain a more powerful Golden Crow bloodline and the Golden Crow Burning World Record, but when the Demon Emperor’s Seal is lost, he will never be able to enter the Golden Crow Sacred Ground again. Without obtaining the true Golden Crow Inheritance, one cannot become a true Demon Emperor……. A hundred years ago, the Little Demon Emperor only succeeded to the throne helplessly, and since he did not obtain the Golden Crow Inheritance, he could only be called the ‘Little Demon Emperor’ and could not be crowned with the name of the true Demon Emperor, and the Little Demon Empress was also like that . Alas, if we can’t retrieve the Demon Emperor Seal, the Golden Crow Burning World Record might be extinct from now on.”

“No wonder after losing the Demon Emperor Seal, it would cause the Yun Family to bear such a great guilt.” Yun Che slowly said.

“Grandpa certainly didn’t lose it on purpose.” Yun Xiao gently gritted his teeth, “Father said that Grandpa and Lord Demon Emperor were as close as brothers, and back then, he was never willing to admit that the Demon Emperor was dead without having seen the Demon Emperor’s corpse, and the Demon Emperor Seal was personally given to him by the Demon Emperor to guard, and unless the Demon Emperor was truly dead, he would not hand it over to anyone without the Demon Emperor’s Order, even if it was the Demon Emperor’s son… …And for that reason, he always brought it with him and never handed it over to anyone. Even when he traveled to the Tianxuan Continent to search for the Demon Emperor, he also refused to let the Demon Emperor Seal leave his body …… This is a manifestation of Grandpa’s loyalty and righteousness, and he surely didn’t want to let it be lost more than anyone else. But some people from the Illusory Demon Royal Clan are ……”

Yun Xiao’s face showed a color of exasperation, but he did not continue.

“Do you want to find a chance to take a look inside the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley?” Jasmine said with interest, “Anyway, you happen to have ‘that thing’.”

“Golden Crow’s flames, or Phoenix’s flames, which one is more powerful?” Yun Che asked after thinking about it.

“Of the three fire supreme beings, the Vermillion Bird is the first, the Phoenix is the second, and the Golden Crow is the last, but if we talk about the power of the flame alone, it is the Golden Crow that is the most powerful!” Jasmine faintly said.

“…… Then why is the Golden Crow’s ranking the lowest?”

“Because this is not a ranking of strength. The Vermilion Bird’s Flame is a sacred attribute, it is the most feared flame of the Demon Race that existed side by side with the Divine Race in the ancient times, and was once called the ‘Flame of Salvation’; the Phoenix’s Flame carries the attribute of benevolence and love, not only can it be burned out, but can also be purified, and was once called the ‘Flame of Ode to the World’, which is also the reason why you must pass the third level of the Trial of Heart when undergoing the Phoenix Trial.”

“The Golden Crow’s Flame, on the other hand, is the purest, most extreme Flame of Destruction! The Golden Crow is also known as the ‘Sun Bird’, and legend has it that it is an extreme deity conceived in the center of the sun, and its flames are as hot and violent as the sun, with nothing but destruction. Legend has it that the most extreme Golden Crow’s Flame, there is nothing in the entire thousand worlds that it cannot incinerate. What I just said about the ranking of the three flame supremacy is just the ranking of their recognition in the world’s heart. Although the Golden Crow is not an evil beast, its temperament is as violent as its flames, so naturally it is no match for the Vermillion Bird Phoenix that ‘saves the world’ and ‘glorifies the world’. But this ranking, with the Golden Crow’s temperament, of course it would never admit it.”

“So, you want me to try to obtain the Golden Crow’s inheritance?” Yun Che mused.

“Golden Crow Inheritance? Hey ……,” Jasmine let out a faint laugh, “You’re thinking too much. If you didn’t have the phoenix bloodline in your body, then there would still be some possibilities, but since you have the Phoenix Inferno, there is no way you can obtain the Golden Crow Inferno again. I asked you to go there, but it was just to confirm whether or not there was really a Golden Crow’s inheritance there!”

“Why?” Yun Che was slightly stunned.

“Hmph, is it hard to understand? The three great fire supreme beings don’t submit to anyone, and they all believe that they possess the strongest fire in the world. For a person to exist in one of them, the other two, would never allow their bloodline and power to coexist with it! Especially the Golden Crow! Its temperament is incomparably violent and fierce, wanting it to pass on its bloodline and power to a person who possesses the power of the Phoenix bloodline …… that is absolutely impossible.”
