However, Wang Yan had a feeling that even if he did find the Sky Swallowing Clan, he would return empty-handed.
After all, the Sky Swallowing Clan had been on the side of the Skyroad sect in the great war.
Although no one knew what had happened to cause the Sky Swallowing Clan to change sides at the last minute.
However, the Sky Swallowing Clan's betrayal had caused the plan to fail.
"Sir, can I see the Holy Son?"
Just as Wang Yan was lost in his thoughts, the Silver Dragon suddenly spoke, disrupting his train of thought.
Hearing that, Wang Yan pondered for a while. Then, his middle finger shone brightly, and a bolt of black lightning shot out.
Screech …
A loud screech rang out, causing the Silver Dragon to tremble. He immediately bowed. "Greetings to the Holy Son."
However, the black cloud was completely oblivious to the silver flood dragon's worship. It continued to circle around Wang Yan, chirping non-stop. In the end, it landed on his shoulder and continuously used its sharp beak to tear at his clothes.
Seeing that, Wang Yan smiled helplessly. "Little guy, are you hungry again?"
With that, he flipped his palm and took out a few pieces of Low-grade Star-guiding Stones.
The black cloud screeched and swooped down from his shoulder. It picked up a Star-guiding Stone and swallowed it!
"How … how is this possible?!"
Seeing the black cloud eat, the Silver Dragon was just like Wang Yan back then. He was shocked, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The Star-guiding Stone was a special kind of stone. It could absorb the power of the stars in the world and store it in it for martial cultivators to use for cultivation.
Although it was not a rare resource, it was still an indispensable cultivation necessity for martial cultivators.
The higher the grade of the Star-guiding Stone, the more power of the stars it contained.
A normal Low-grade Star-guiding Stone was enough for a Star Guide Realm martial cultivator to cultivate for a month.
However, the black cloud did not even absorb it. It just swallowed it into its stomach and ate it.
Such a horrifying scene made Silver Flood Dragon almost unable to believe his eyes.
"Get used to it."
Looking at the Silver Dragon's shocked face, Wang Yan smiled faintly and stroked the black cloud's smooth wings.
Suddenly, the movement of his hand stopped abruptly.
In his memory, Hei Yun's hair was as smooth as water, as black as ink, without a single strand of other hair.
But now, there was an extremely inconspicuous thin line at the tail of the black cloud. This thin line was light red and was hidden in the ink-like black feathers.
If one did not observe carefully, it would be very difficult to notice.
"Silver Dragon, you said that the Holy Son is the descendant of the Divine Beast. His name is the Sky Devouring Python Dragon Sparrow. Is he from the Sky Devouring Clan …"
"It doesn't matter. The Holy Son is the descendant of the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird. The Sky Swallowing Clan is merely the descendant of the Immemorial Sky Swallowing Dragon. They are not even Divine Beasts!"
Before Wang Yan could finish his sentence, he was immediately interrupted by the silver flood dragon.
Within the Beast Clan, there was a strict hierarchy. The highest ranked beasts were the well-known Four Great Divine Beasts, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.
Along with the four divine beasts, there were four other ferocious beasts. They were Taotie, Qiong Qi, Bi 'an, and Hun Dun.
Other than that, there were also the Four Great Mutated Beasts whose strength was comparable to the Four Great Divine Beasts and the Four Great Ferocious Beasts. The Immemorial Heaven Devouring Dragon was one of them.
However, for the Immemorial Sky Swallowing Dragon to reach its peak, the process was extremely long and arduous.
That was because such beasts had to constantly devour in order to advance.
Therefore, for countless eras, there were very few Immemorial Sky Swallowing Dragons that could compete with the Four Great Divine Beasts and the Four Great Ferocious Beasts.
That was because once they reached a certain level, the Immemorial Sky Swallowing Dragon had to devour beasts that were similar in strength to advance further.
As for the Four Great Divine Beasts and the Four Great Ferocious Beasts, almost every Divine Beast and Ferocious Beast had an elder to protect them until they grew up.
"In that case, the Holy Son will eventually evolve into the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird?"
Faced with Wang Yan's question, the silver flood dragon was momentarily stunned. That was because he did not know if the Sky Devouring Python Dragon Sparrow would eventually evolve into the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird.
After pondering for a moment, he said vaguely, "I don't know about that either. However, as long as the bloodline in the Holy Son's body is rich enough, there is a high chance that he will evolve into the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird."
Hearing that, Wang Yan was slightly stunned. He looked enviously at the black cloud that was devouring the Sky Devouring Python Dragon Sparrow.
As long as there was enough Guiding Star Stones, this little fellow would evolve into a Divine Beast one day, right?
That was because the black cloud's cultivation method was too simple. He only needed to devour the Guiding Star Stones, then continue to devour the Guiding Star Stones after waking up from a deep sleep.
In this endless cycle, his strength would steadily increase and he would continuously break through and advance.
Compared to human Martial Cultivators, the descendants of Divine Beasts were definitely blessed and envied by others.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door was violently pushed open. Wang Yan and the silver flood dragon, who were talking, were immediately stunned and turned their heads to look.
They saw the black-robed man that they suspected to be Di Yun appear before them.
"Can you let me take a look at this sparrow beast?"
A hoarse and deep voice rang out with a slight tremble. It seemed that the owner of the voice was extremely excited.
In an instant, the silver flood dragon's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Yan suddenly flipped his palm. Together with the Guiding Star Stones and the black cloud, they instantly disappeared.
Sweeping his gaze, Di Yun asked indifferently, "Who are you?"
Hearing this, the black-robed man was slightly startled. He slowly reached out his hand and lifted the hood that covered most of his face.
In an instant, the silver flood dragon's eyes widened and his face was filled with disbelief. Wang Yan's expression was slightly strange, but it returned to normal in an instant.
The black-robed man's face was actually divided into upper and lower parts. From the bridge of the nose up, his face was extremely old and crisscrossed like the bark of a birch tree.
However, although the skin below the bridge of the nose was pale and bloodless, it was tight, smooth, and elastic, containing infinite vitality.
Such a contrast was obviously strange on a face, as if this person was gradually aging from the head up.
"Di Yun."
The hoarse and deep voice rang out. Wang Yan revealed an expression of "as expected" while the silver flood dragon trembled all over and was actually a little scared and timid.
"So it's the great alchemy master. Sorry for not going out to meet you."
Wang Yan stood up and slightly cupped his fists, "May I know why the great master wants to see my sparrow beast?"
Di Yun smiled, but this smile was uglier than crying. It was even a little scary.
"Little friend, how should I address you?"
"Wang Yan."
In an instant, Di Yun's eyes narrowed, and a bright light flashed, but it returned to normal in an instant.
A strange smile appeared on his strange and terrifying face. He sized up Wang Yan from head to toe and nodded without leaving a trace.
"So you're the one whose name has spread throughout the entire Star Source Continent and is known by everyone. You really have an imposing appearance, a dragon among men."
Wang Yan curled his lips into a smile, "The great alchemy master is too kind. It's just a false reputation and can't be taken seriously."
Di Yun shook his head. "That's not the case. Since he was able to be respectfully called the strongest youth in the Star Origin Continent, and his name resounded like thunder in the ears, he naturally has a certain level of strength. This old man is very clear about this."
