Since this time’s entrance into the valley held significant importance, Shen Feng had already made all of the proper preparations by the time they set off. These few carriages had all used Ice-Cold Black Metal in order to forge their main poles. Even if they were to be in the most sizzling, hot places, the people within the carriages wouldn’t sense a even a smidgen of the torrid heat.

  The construction cost of just this batch of carriages would be sufficient enough to buy out a city. Even if it was the richly provided Vermillion Bird Clan, the clan could only build 10 of these.

  Yet this time alone, it’d used 8 of them at once.

  Apart from that Ice-Cold Black Metal that supported carriages that prevented sunstroke, everyone that was proceeding towards the lava valley this time had put on Ice Silk Armour that resisted heat. This was because the nearer they were to the location where the Vermillion Bird lay dormant, the higher the heat they’d actually suffer from. If the Ice Silk Armour wasn’t there to act as protection, it’d be very likely that they’d be roasted till they were dry by the high temperature, when they’d only just tread into the place where the Vermillion Bird lay dormant.

  Speaking according to the reasoning that entering an environment that was vile like this and that was a place where dangers lurked on every side, there was no way that Shen Feng would only send 4 retinues to follow them—all of this was the sage’s idea.

  In regards to the foreigners, everything about the God’s Domain was enigmatic. The sage’s capability to rouse the mythological animal was even more of a secret amongst the God’s Domain. If it wasn’t for the anxiousness that these four young masters and young ladies, which had lived like princes and princesses, would find due to the unbearably long and difficult journey, it was very likely that the people from the God’s Domain wouldn’t even be willing to have these 4 retinues taken along with them.

  As for its safety……

  The God’s Domain was a very formidable existence, and during this journey, there were as many as eighteen God’s Envoys of the God’s Domain. What’s more, was that the person that was still sitting to the front of the carriages was the God’s Domain’s strongest existence—the sage.

  Even if it was a high level demonic beast that wanted to strike this group of people, it was very likely that it’d have to ponder about it.

  When surveying the entire Guang Mang Continent, it would also only be the God’s Domain that would dare to pat their chest and say that there wasn’t even a single strand of demonic beast’s hair that could be seen on their territory.

  It had to be known that, the higher rank the demonic beast was, the higher its wisdom was. Not only did a high level demonic beast have tyrannical strength, but it was also as witty as the human race. It absolutely wouldn’t go and attack this kind of troop, that was overseen by an apex expert, and had its life endangered.

  Within this carriage itself, the smell of the human race floated out, and when the carriage had just entered the lava valley, it drew out a great amount of inferior demonic beast right away. Although the demonic beasts’ intelligence was very low, they could still distantly feel a formidable oppression that was emitted from the first carriage. Despite how fragrant and sweet the smell was that belonged to the human race, their fears that came from their instincts nevertheless told them that the people within the carriages absolutely couldn’t satisfy their desire for good food.

  The demonic beasts had starved for ages, but no matter how gluttonous they were, they too could only distantly hide within the dark, and sniff at that fragrant and sweet smell that they hadn’t smelt of for a long time in order to slightly console themselves.

  Counting from the back, the carriage that Shen Yanxiao was currently sitting on was the second within the troop. Although the God’s Envoys from the God’s Domain were haughty, they too knew the severity the head and tail of the carriages held, and they were all left to them to be in charge of, in order to prevent some demonic beasts that hadn’t opened their eyes and had rashly attacked.

  “Tch, the scene here is indeed even more wretched, and is similar to it having been bombarded by a nuclear warhead.” Through the window’s tulle in the carriage, Shen Yanxiao observed the outside circumstances. [TLN: Tch is the sound of clicking a tongue]

  Amongst all of the carriages, there was only her herself that’d had her retinue, which had been assigned to her right away, ‘borrowed’ by Shen Jiayi under the reason of ‘not having enough manpower’ on the second day when they were setting off. As for the horses that were pulling the Ice-Cold Black Metal carriages, they were all military horses that were resistant to cold, and had been selected by a specialist. They’d automatically follow the leading horse’s advances. and therefore, simply didn’t need to have any people to drive it.

  In other words, no matter what Shen Yanxiao was doing right now inside the carriage, and so long as she didn’t get out of the carriage, there wouldn’t be anyone that’d her discover, even if she were to do a somersault inside the carriage. Naturally, there wasn’t a need to take note of whether her own words and actions would cause amazement to the other people or not.

  Towards Shen Jiayi’s deliberate effort to make things difficult this time, Shen Yanxiao silently gave Shen Jiayi a hundred likes in her heart.

  It’d been very well done!

  One had to know that, if she were to adopt a Mona Lisa-like smiling expression and pretend to be an idiot for 24 hours everyday, it’d be a very miserable thing.

  She was thankful for Shen Jiayi’s maliciousness, and was thankful for her eight generations of ancestors!

  “Xiu, were all of these things dried up by that little bird?” Xiu was the only person that was able to have a conversation with her, and was living within her body—and with Xiu, she didn’t have to avoid any taboo words or topics.

  ‘Only the South Flame Vermillion Bird, this domestic animal, would take such great pains to burn out a den.’ Xiu’s mood seemed to be pretty good, as he’d still reluctantly answered Shen Yanxiao’s question.

  “Burn out a den? Didn’t you say that it wasn’t much bit bigger compared to ordinary birds? Why go so far as to reside in such a big den?” Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. It’d already been half a day since they’d entered the lava valley, but looking at the route ahead, it was very likely that there was still a greater part of the distance left from their current location to their destination.

  ‘The four mythical animals’ tempers are all very arrogant. Therefore, within the vicinity of the dens that they reside at, they absolutely won’t allow the existence of any other living thing. The Vermillion Bird is fire-based, thus it prefers places with torrid heat. Only by having the temperature of the den’s surroundings raised to their limits, will it think that the place is fitting to be resided in. Although the Vermillion Bird soars through the sky most of the time, its desire to exercise control with regards to the surface is, nevertheless, extremely strong. The den here, compared to its previous, is already very narrow. It seems that before it laid down and became dormant, it received some kind of serious damage. Or else, those few mountains to the sides wouldn’t have existed either.’ Xiu’s tone was very, very unperturbed, and it was as if Xiu was only talking about how the day’s weather was. He didn’t think in the slightest bit—what was the reason to be making a fuss about nothing, and occupying that kind of vast-streched territory. So much so that he felt as if the den that the Vermillion Bird had selected this time around was awfully poverty-stricken.

  Xiu was very unperturbed, however, Shen Yanxiao wasn’t unperturbed.

  Being a modern person who’d sincerely experienced the lifelong struggle for tens of square meters of humble abode, the explanation for this piece of the lava valley had her stunned incessantly.

  Such extravagance! It was indeed, truly extravagant!

  What kind of extravagance was this? In order to find a place to sleep, they’d just invade and occupy a region that was comparable to a small city of the modern era. When compared to the Vermillion Bird’s lava valley, those people from her previous life who‘d considered themselves to be self-important when they bought islands, were simply too pathetic!

  From what Shen Yanxiao had heard, Xiu’s opinion clearly stated that the previous place in which the Vermillion Bird had resided was much bigger compared to here. In regards to being a mythological animal, the current place that the Vermillion Bird was residing in was like a basement—simple, crude, and narrow.

  She didn’t dare to imagine how wide the the Vermillion Bird’s ‘formal’ place of residency would be……

  Moreover, according to Xiu’s opinion, it seemed like, apart from the Vermillion Bird, the other few mythological animals’ residential locations also had huge discrepancies.

  After all, the Guangmang Continent was very vast. It was capable of squeezing in this many humans and beasts at the same time, yet was still able to have these much larger areas of lands, for these mythological animals, as an extravagant expense.

  “Xiu, were the places that you previously resided in also quite huge?” Shen Yanxiao knew that, a long long time ago, Xiu had had his own body. Although she didn’t know why he’d become a spirit that had stayed within her body, she was extremely curious. After all, what kind of a place was it, to be able to raise this kind temperament in a great master?

  Xiu didn’t immediately reply, and it was as if he was recalling something. Only after a moment, did he unhurriedly reply.

  ‘En.’


  Was it possible for him to not give her such a succinct reply?!

  Not accepting it as correct, Shen Yanxiao continued to ask.

  “Was it bigger than the lava valley?”


  ‘En.’


  The Strongest Magical Beast (Cleaning Process) Table Of Contents (Cleaning Process) Ranking, Settings & Others Character List Alchemy Info The Team About me Chapter 46-Path of a Warlock Part 1

  “Was it comparable to the Long Xuan Empire?”


  ‘Don’t take this kind of remote and desolate place, and compare it to my home.’


  “.……”


  Remote…… and…… desolate…… place……

  Shen Yanxiao admitted that she herself was curried favour with!

  “If there’s a day when you recover your strength, will you return to your home or not?” Perhaps because it was too idle, Shen Yanxiao had unexpectedly, for the first time, chatted with Xiu about these contentless topic.

  ‘I’d definitely return.’ Xiu’s voice leaked out a resoluteness that Shen Yanxiao had never heard of.

  Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, “If that’s so, as an ally, shouldn’t you consider taking me to sightsee?” She was extremely curious on just how luxurious the place had to be for it to be able to have the richly provided Long Xuan Empire reduced to a ‘remote and desolate place’.

  ‘Okay.’ Although Xiu hadn’t quite comprehended the meaning of Shen Yanxiao’s ‘sightseeing’ instantly, after dismantling the words, he more or less understood Shen Yanxiao’s intentions.

  ‘The day that I’ve recovered my body, I’ll definitely bring you to my home.’


  Shen Yanxiao’s smile became even more brilliant.

  A luxurious place was a thieves’ favourite place to be at—it’d be a good opportunity for them to become rich where there was gold everywhere!

  Since she’d lent her body to someone, as a host for such a long time, after the conclusion of this matter, she ought to receive a certain amount of ‘rental fee’.

  After having a brief gossip with Shen Yanxiao, Xiu, who still wasn’t aware that he’d lead a wolf into his house, had in the end returned to the devil’s instructor during the formers days.

  ‘There’s still a period of time before you reach the Vermillion Bird’s den, and during this period of time, you have to increase your strength. There’s no time for you to rest.’


  Shen Yanxiao’s face darkened……

  Although her promotions during this period of time were still regarded as being steady, there was still a certain amount of distance between her current level and Xiu’s order of her reaching rank 6!!

  This action of his was truly forcing her to her death!……

  Under Xiu’s shocking teaching, Shen Yanxiao carried out Xiu’s challenging order which was that, so long as the objective wasn’t reached, there wouldn’t be any rest during the following time along the journey!

  To be precise, she cultivated inside the carriage for the entire 2 days and 2 nights!

  It had to be known that it’d already been two and a half days since they’d first entered the lava valley, and they still unexpectedly hadn’t reached the Vermillion Bird’s den. This reality truly had people vomiting blood!

  This was an entire 2 days and 2 nights! Even her eyelids hadn’t closed at all. If there was even a trace of her slacking, Xiu’s cold voice of, like ice shards, would omnipresently explode inside her mind. This wasn’t a sound that the ear could hear. Even if she’d her ears stabbed until she was deaf, that voice that could drive people mad wouldn’t have decreased by even a tiny bit.

  Everyday, the god’s envoys would always dispatch people to give food and drink to the people in every carriages. The rest of the time, they’d hasten on with their journey. After having been in the lava valley for such a long time, Shen Yanxiao’s pair of legs hadn’t even gotten close to the ground.

  Finally, under Xiu’s inhuman ravage, the magic within Shen Yanxiao’s body broke through to rank 6 before the sunset of the day!

  After rank 6, Shen Yanxiao had to choose amongst the 3 occupations in order to have her own path of magic cultivation, which were magician, warlock, or priest.

  Xiu was a very good teacher, for he’d made a simple and clear-cut analysis for Shen Yanxiao regarding the circumstances of these 3 directions.

  Magicians were the strongest amongst the 3 of them in their attacking property. Even if they were within a huge troop, they’d still play a critical role, for their formidable magic attacks would often give rise to even more frightening killing power when compared to siege weapons. On top of that, magicians had an extremely long distance range of attack, and could be said to everyone’s nightmare.

  However, magicians were also very frail. Under a circumstance where the magicians had an absolute distance from their enemies, they were unrivalled existences. However, if they were attacked by a formidable opponent that was near to them, they’d become extremely frail.
