Chapter 1318 1317: The Story of the Gem and the Holy Bird Clan
Three days later.
As the Celestial Saint Gem within his abdomen was entirely refined, its energy was completely absorbed by Lin Fei.
This absorption endowed him with a mysterious power that became astonishingly strong.
Lin Fei felt the mysterious power within him, vast and infinite like an ocean, tenfold stronger than before.
This overwhelming sense of explosive power made Lin Fei feel that even the Celestial Saint Liu Tiandao could be defeated with a single punch.
After refining and absorbing the energy of the Celestial Saint Gem, Lin Fei's mysterious power underwent a qualitative transformation, with explosive growth in strength.
Inside the Devil's Tower, the elder guardians who had watched over Lin Fei for three days and nights, along with the Nine-tailed Holy Bird, Little Holy Bird, and the Human-faced Goat, all sensed the suffocating, powerful aura emanating from Lin Fei.
The soft white light radiating from Lin Fei seemed like the bright moonlight at night, pure and sacred, cleansing the soul.
To the elders, Lin Fei sitting cross-legged and bathed in the holy white light appeared like a deity from legend, inspiring reverence and admiration.
"This..." Master Qin looked at the other elders in surprise and spoke.
Indeed, Master Qin suspected that Lin Fei had completely refined the Celestial Saint Gem, seeing the divine aura radiating from him.
"There's no need to doubt. The benefactor has fully refined and absorbed the energy of the Celestial Saint Gem. If I'm not mistaken, his strength has reached at least the first layer of the Celestial Saint Realm." At this moment, the Nine-tailed Holy Bird spoke in human language.
Hearing this, the elders were astonished: The first layer of the Celestial Saint Realm!
This is the highest realm in the path of the saints' nine realms.
Lin Fei reached the first layer of strength just by refining that tiny Celestial Saint Gem?
This Celestial Saint Gem is terrifying!
Seeing the thoughts of Master Qin and the others, the Nine-tailed Holy Bird continued: "Don't underestimate the Celestial Saint Gem. It's a gem we've carried from the Primordial World. There are only nine Celestial Saint Gems across various continents outside the Primordial World."
The elders, unaware of what the Primordial World was, questioned together: "Why did your Holy Bird tribe carry nine Celestial Saint Gems?"
The Nine-tailed Holy Bird replied: "The nine Celestial Saint Gems were separated and sent to nine continents once we left the Primordial World; they are tokens of our Holy Bird tribe.
Moreover, after being nurtured for millions of years by our tribe, these nine Celestial Saint Gems can be cultivated into Immortal Stones, offering hope for our return to the Primordial World."
Only then did Master Qin and the others realize the significance of the Celestial Saint Gem to the Nine-tailed Holy Bird tribe.
"So your Holy Bird tribe left the Primordial World out of necessity?" Master Qin asked with concern.
The Nine-tailed Holy Bird nodded and said: "Our tribe discovered cultivation mines in the Primordial World, entering and cultivating for millennia, using mines as sustenance to cultivate our strength and nurture the highest quality cultivation gems.
Thus, cultivators from the Primordial World would hunt us to make the Holy Birds search for mines or kill them to extract our precious gems."
"The Celestial Saint Gems originated from nine gems our ancestors brought out of the Primordial World. Though not yet the supreme cultivation gems, they are invaluable cultivation treasures outside the Primordial World."
Upon finishing, the Nine-tailed Holy Bird sighed like a human.
Master Qin and others sympathized with the tribulations of the Holy Bird tribe.
At this moment, Lin Fei quietly opened his eyes, looking at the Nine-tailed Holy Bird, he said: "So at Dragon Tiger Mountain, Liu Jingchen and that Silver Scorpion attempted to seize your Celestial Saint Gem because they knew its rare value?"
"Yes, benefactor, cultivators from the Primordial World deliberately leaked this information to the Saint Continent. These cultivators want our tribe to struggle across continents, forcing us back to the Primordial World as mounts for finding immortal mines." The Nine-tailed Holy Bird's eyes shone with rage.
For the first time, Lin Fei learned of cultivators in the Primordial World, and even though he hadn't seen them, he sensed a vast difference in power between they and Saint Cultivators.
The difference is akin to that between the best Legendary realm Martial Artist and the lower Saint Transformation realm Saint.
"But, why don't the cultivators from the Primordial World come directly to retrieve the Holy Bird tribe?" Lin Fei pondered.
The Nine-tailed Holy Bird explained: "The Primordial World is a cultivators' realm, beyond the mortal world, governed by Heaven and Earth Laws. Cultivators surpassing the peak of the Celestial Saint Realm cannot enter the mortal world, or they'll face the laws' punishment, risking their lives."
"But cultivators have numerous celestial slaves at the Celestial Saint realm who can move between worlds, so many Celestial Saints in the mortal world are extensions of cultivators' forces."
The Nine-tailed Holy Bird's words unveiled a new world for Lin Fei, revealing that cultivators can't leave the Primordial World without risking punishment, even death.
Yet each cultivator has celestial slaves who can traverse worlds, including the Saint Continent.
However, the fact that a top-tier Celestial Saint serves as a slave in the Primordial World highlights the shocking strength of its cultivators.
It made Lin Fei question if the Celestial Saint Liu Tiandao could also be a slave to a cultivator from the Primordial World?
Otherwise, how would he know the significance of the Celestial Saint Gem?
This was merely a suspicion to be validated.
Nevertheless, the Nine-tailed Holy Bird gave Lin Fei this vital gem, enhancing his strength, for which he felt grateful to the mother-daughter duo.
He thought to himself: Someday, when he's powerful enough, he will venture into the Primordial World to ensure the Holy Bird tribe's safe return home.
"Little Holy Bird, one day I will take you back to the Primordial World." Lin Fei stood and gently caressed the Little Holy Bird's noble and beautiful head.
The Little Holy Bird squawked in delight.
Then, Lin Fei turned to Master Qin and the other elders, as well as Master Yuan holding Xiaofei, and said: "Masters, I'm off to rescue Yuxi, Zimo, and Xiao Xiao. Please take care of Xiaofei!"
"Be careful, Lin Fei!..." The elders advised with care and concern.
Lin Fei turned towards the entrance of the Devil's Tower, standing tall like a sword, exuding an unyielding strength and confidence...
