Xian Ling 'er's true form was a Vermilion Bird, which was of the same origin as the Vermilion Bird Old Ancestor. Even so, she couldn't refine it in a short period of time.
Ye Qing's success left Xian Ling 'er speechless. She was so shocked that she was numb.
The Vermilion Bird's shadow floated over and looked down at the two of them. "Congratulations on passing the second stage. Next, you will enter the Ancient Battlefield. If you perform well, you will receive the complete Vermilion Bird Divine Fire Origin and even the Vermilion Bird Old Ancestor's heart!"
Ye Qing and Xian Ling 'er's bodies trembled as they heard the Vermilion Bird's voice. They became excited.
The Vermilion Bird Divine Fire Origin and the Vermilion Bird Old Ancestor's heart were indeed heaven-defying rewards for passing the third stage!
Ye Qing and Xian Ling 'er were both tempted. They wanted to pass the third stage as soon as possible. Xian Ling' er didn't even want to heal herself now.
The Vermillion Bird phantom in the sky waved its hand and the scene of mountains of swords and seas of fire quickly disappeared. In front of Ye Qing's eyes, a fantastical world appeared. It was filled with all sorts of phenomena and powerhouses were as common as the clouds!
In that world, there were experts from the Primordial Age fighting. The battlefield seemed to be where the Primordial Vermilion Bird Tribe was.
Ye Qing stepped into the world in front of him. The scenery before him changed and was filled with the mysterious aura of the Primordial Age.
"Have we arrived in the Primordial Age?
Impossible. More than two hundred thousand years have passed since the Primordial Age. Who has the ability to turn back time? "Xian Ling 'er murmured. Her eyes were filled with shock.
Ye Qing's face darkened. He felt that something was wrong. The world they had entered was definitely not the real world. It was an illusion!
The scary thing was that there were many terrifying experts in the illusion. There was no lack of Mysterious Heaven Realm cultivators.
"Xian Ling 'er, do you know what this place is?" Ye Qing suddenly asked.
"I know. This is the sacred place of the Primordial Vermilion Bird Tribe, the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace!"
Xian Ling 'er's face was serious. She was the pride of the Vermilion Bird Tribe during the Primordial Age. Of course, she had been to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace.
Many treasures of the Vermilion Bird Tribe were placed in the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace.
Outside the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace, there were many powerful beings who were attacking ferociously, trying to barge in.
"That's the Heavenly Wolf Clan, as well as the Ink Qilin, the Space-splitting Divine Ape, the Netherworld Race, and many other powerful beings from the human race!" Xian Ling 'er's beautiful eyes seemed to have frozen.
She could name all the clans that were attacking the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace. Many of them had perished after the Primordial War.
Ye Qing's heart trembled. He finally saw the scene of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. His heart was filled with shock.
"Is that the scene of the ancient war?" Ye Qing suddenly asked.
Xian Ling 'er's expression was solemn. "Yes, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. The Ancient Battlefield is even more vast and involves all the Ancient Races."
Ye Qing remained silent. He was even more curious about the Primordial Era.
Xian Ling 'er continued, "Many years ago, our Primordial Vermillion Bird Tribe was besieged by many powerful beings after our ancestor perished. We suffered heavy losses and were almost exterminated!
However, there were still some powerful beings in our tribe who managed to survive. Our tribe's treasures were preserved. "
Ye Qing nodded slightly. He scanned the area with his divine sense and found the complete source of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire in the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace.
Those powerful beings that besieged the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace were probably here for the complete source of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire!
"I understand. The third trial is to simulate the scene of the Primordial Battle of the Vermilion Bird Race. If we can snatch the treasure, we will pass!" Ye Qing suddenly said.
Xian Ling 'er nodded. "Let's not waste any time. Let's move quickly."
Ye Qing and Xian Ling 'er rushed toward the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace together. The powerful beings that besieged the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace could also see them. Some powerful beings rushed over to stop them.
Among the powerful beings of the Primordial Era, not all of them were at the Mystic Heaven Realm. After all, this scene was created as a test for the younger generation of the Vermilion Bird Tribe. The overall strength of the enemies was not the true standard of the Primordial Era.
If they really returned to the Primordial Era, Mystic Heaven Realm cultivators would be as common as cabbages. How could Ye Qing and Xian Ling 'er pass?
The powerful beings that came to stop Ye Qing and Xian Ling 'er were only at the Heavenly Venerate Realm. Xian Ling' er easily dealt with them.
Ye Qing displayed shocking battle strength. Waving the Ruyi Jingu Bang and supported by the Primordial Chaos Flames, he quickly carved a bloody path and was about to break into the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace.
In the process, only two Mystic Heaven Realm cultivators came to stop them. They were the powerful beings of the Immemorial Sky Wolf Tribe and the Space-splitting Ape God Tribe.
Xian Ling 'er and the powerful being of the Immemorial Sky Wolf Tribe were in a stalemate.
Ye Qing used his strongest move with lightning speed and joined forces with Xian Ling 'er.
Even in the illusion, Ye Qing could still use the Ruyi Jingu Bang and unleash terrifying strength that could shake the heavens.
Under the combined attack of Ye Qing and Xian Ling 'er, the Immemorial Sky Wolf was sent flying and howled in the air.
The Space-splitting Ape God Tribe's attack was equally sharp. Both of its arms swept over with great force, causing the void to tremble violently.
Ye Qing and Xian Ling 'er's combined attack was not to be underestimated. The Space-splitting Ape God Tribe's strong body was sent flying. It was no match for them.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Qing and Xian Ling 'er had successfully broken into the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace. The treasure was right before their eyes!
They were about to enter. Xian Ling 'er released the aura of the Vermilion Bird Tribe, revealing her identity. The tribesmen guarding the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace would not make things difficult for Xian Ling' er.
"Big Brother, let's go. The complete source of the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame is right before us!"
Xian Ling 'er urged, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
Ye Qing was also a little excited. After breaking into the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace, the guards did not stop them.
They were about to succeed. Ye Qing was elated.
However, Ye Qing suddenly stopped in his tracks. He grabbed Xian Ling 'er's jade-like hand and gestured for her to stop as well!
Xian Ling 'er had a suspicious look on her face. "Big Brother, what are you doing?
We are about to succeed. Why are you stopping? "
Ye Qing's eyes were serious and his brows were tightly furrowed. He seemed to have thought of something and realized that something was wrong.
Everything was going too smoothly!
From the time they approached the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace to the time they officially entered the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace, everything was too easy.
Logically speaking, the third stage of the Vermilion Bird Mystic Realm was definitely more difficult than the previous two stages.
A thought flashed through Ye Qing's mind, and he suddenly understood. Their thinking from the beginning was wrong!
They were not going to steal the treasures in the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace. They were going to guard the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace!
One had to know that the Vermilion Bird Mystic Realm was a training ground for the younger generation of the Vermilion Bird Tribe.
The trial-takers were either from the Vermilion Bird Tribe or the Supreme Dragon Tribe. They were all on the same side.
In the third stage, the Vermilion Bird Tribe's founding ancestor wanted the trial-takers to help protect their home.
They did not want to be like the invading Archean Eon powerhouses and rob them recklessly!
"Little Sister Xian Ling 'er, we have to protect the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace. If we rob the treasures directly, we will fail the third stage of the trial." Ye Qing said seriously.
"That … right, that is very possible. I didn't think of that. Thank you for reminding me!"
Xian Ling 'er's expression was serious. After thinking about it, she realized that Ye Qing was right.
What the Vermilion Bird Tribe's founding ancestor wanted was not to rob, but to protect!
What she and Ye Qing had to do was to resist the invasion of the Archean Eon powerhouses!
This was an extremely difficult task. The Archean Eon powerhouses kept coming and they were unstoppable!
With just the two of them, it would be difficult to protect the Vermilion Bird Ancient Palace!
