Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He immediately took out the Golden Crow’s foot. Countless cracks covered the Golden Crow’s foot. It had long since lost its luster. It was no longer as faint as before. It emitted a scarlet golden luster and circulated divine power.

This Golden Crow Foot was an ancient treasure. It was when he went to Yang Valley and was chased by Wuji Shangren. Afterwards, the two of them fell into a strange abyss. The abyss was covered with white bones, and the Golden Crow Foot was found by Xiao Chen at the bottom of the abyss.

Zhong Ming reached out and took it from his hand. The moment he touched the Golden Crow’s foot, his expression changed slightly. “This thing …”

“This thing is the Golden Crow Foot,” Xiao Chen said.

“Golden Crow Feet …”

Qilin sat in the wheelchair and his gaze narrowed slightly. He said, “There are woods on the Tang Valley. One day, they will arrive and one day, they will emerge. They are all recorded in the black … The legend says that the Golden Crow has three legs, and this … could it be one of them?”

Zhong Ming’s fingertips gently slid past the Golden Crow’s feet, as if he could sense the countless cracks on it, as well as the countless tiny cracks inside the Golden Crow’s feet.

“That’s right, it is indeed the Golden Crow Foot.”

“The Golden Crow Feet is an ancient treasure. If you want to restore it, you need ancient methods, ancient materials, and ancient power …” Zhong Ming nodded.

The Qilin smiled and said, “You’ve said so much, can you repair it?”

“Mm …”

Zhong Ming nodded slightly and said, “I will try my best. It will only take some time to repair the Golden Crow’s foot. I wonder if Childe Xiao can wait.”

Xiao Chen thought to himself that he was not in a hurry to go to the Bone Erosion Lands. It was also good to make some preparations. Besides, he could stay in Tianzhu Palace these days and continue to ask Qilin about his father. He said, “Then, it’s time to remind Palace Master.”

Next, Chongming brought the Golden Crow Foot back, while Xiao Chen continued to stay in the Qilin Palace, asking about his father back then.

Time passed in a flash for seven days. In these seven days, Xiao Chen had learned some things about that year. It was only about how his father had met the Azure Dragon, but Qilin did not say anything else.

At noon on this day, the weather was clear. Xiao Chen and the Qilin came outside and looked at the blue clouds. Suddenly, the Qilin said, “Back then, your father left something behind.”

“Huh?”

Xiao Chen looked at him and thought to himself, “Back then, my father actually left something in Tianzhu City?”

The Qilin nodded slightly and looked at the rising and falling of the sea of clouds. In the end, it slowly turned around and said to him, “It was left behind by your father back then, but the time has not come yet. When the time comes in the future, it will naturally be handed over to you.”

Seeing his current mysterious appearance, the space between Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed slightly. Back then, what was that left behind by his father?

The Qilin only smiled and didn’t say anything. He then looked towards the distant Cloud Sea. At this time, a figure landed behind the cliff, but it was revived.

“Oh? Chongming, could it be that you’ve fixed the Golden Crow Foot?”

The Qilin gently rotated its wheelchair and looked towards Zhongming, who was slowly walking towards him. In his hand, the Golden Crow’s feet were no longer as dim as before. Instead, they were suffused with a faint layer of scarlet golden luster. Even from afar, he could feel the faint aura of divine power coming from the Golden Crow’s feet.

However, upon closer inspection, the Golden Crow’s feet were still covered with cracks. Zhongming walked over and said, “Because of the lack of some ancient materials, this is the only way. It can be used three times. After three times, it will be damaged again.”

Xiao Chen took the Golden Crow Foot from his hand. In that instant, he felt the terrifying power contained within the Golden Crow Foot once again. It was even stronger than when he first obtained the Golden Crow Foot.

“If we can find some ancient materials in the future, we might be able to repair them even more perfectly,” Zhong Ming said.

“In that case, thank you, Palace Master Chongming …”

Xiao Chen’s palm gently slid past the Golden Crow’s feet. He could feel the blazing divine power of the Golden Crow inside. It was completely different from Di Gu Sword’s. Di Gu Sword was as cold as an abyss, while the Golden Crow’s feet were exactly the opposite. It was as hot as the sun above the nine heavens.

The Golden Crow Foot was originally an ancient treasure, but for some unknown reason, it was destroyed to this extent. No matter how many skilled craftsmen and artificers there were in this world, they were still unable to repair the damaged Golden Crow Foot. However, Chongming was able to repair it, which was a sign of his brilliance.

The Golden Crow was an extraordinary magic treasure. It contained an extremely terrifying ancient Golden Crow divine power. If it was intact, how powerful would it be? Even if it had been damaged, its power would still be shocking.

Especially now that Xiao Chen’s cultivation was much higher than before, the power that he could unleash to control the Golden Crow’s feet would also be countless times stronger than before.

Most importantly, if Fuxi Zither and Di Gu Sword were used to their limits, they would be able to unleash such terrifying power. However, the backlash was no small matter. If Fuxi Zither was used to his limits, then his entire body would be emptied of Genuine energy in almost an instant. If Di Gu Sword was transported to its limits, the backlash would be unimaginable.

However, the Golden Crow Foot was different. Using the Golden Crow Foot would not cause any backlash, and its consumption was negligible. The only flaw was that it was damaged and could not be overused.

Qilin laughed and said, “Looks like in this world, if we were to lack that ancient material, there would be things that Chongming would not be able to accomplish …”

“Next time, I’ll put two more wheels on the seat for you. In this way, when it breaks down, it won’t affect you,” Zhong Ming said.

“Haha!”

Qilin smiled brightly and looked at Xiao Chen again. The smile on his face slowly faded away and he said, “As for the sky, you have to be careful in the future.”

“Mm …”

Xiao Chen nodded and looked at the sea of clouds in the east. “Next, I’m going to the Land of Bone Corrosion. If Zhu Que comes back, I’ll bother Qilin Palace Master and thank him for me.”

The Qilin smiled gently, “That’s easy to say.”

…

Next, Xiao Chen left Tianzhu City. Last time, he met Hill of Illusory Ruins and Fairy Red Butterfly in Baimei Shangren. But this time, his whereabouts were kept confidential. After all, Fairy Red Butterfly and Baimei Shangren were not like Qilin. Therefore, he did not look for them this time.

Seven days later, Xiao Chen had passed through Hill of Illusory Ruins and arrived at a desert. There were canyons, mountain ranges, and finally an endless ocean.

After traveling through the sea for more than half a month, Xiao Chen finally saw the land. The journey before seemed to be easy, but if it wasn’t for his current cultivation, it would have been impossible for him to cross it so easily.

According to what Qilin said, this place was already close to the Bone Erosion Ground. If he continued forward, it should be the “Mirage Sea” within the “Bone Erosion Ten Grounds”.

The Bone Corrosion Lands were extraordinary places. Some places were filled with unknown dangers, and they could not be easily reached. Even though Xiao Chen’s cultivation was far higher than before, he would not let down his guard.

At this moment, he withdrew his aura and carefully walked forward. He couldn’t be careless until he was familiar with this place.

Seven more days passed. During these seven days, Xiao Chen had crossed thousands of miles of desolate mountains and wilderness without a trace. However, he must be in “Mirage Sea” by now, so he had to be even more cautious about what happened next.

This afternoon, he arrived at another mountain range. On this day, he suddenly felt an abnormal aura coming from the depths of the mountain range.

With his current keen divine sense, it was naturally not difficult to discover that this was the aura of a cultivator. As for the cultivation level, it was hard to determine at present, but presumably not too high, because if he was a Saint realm expert, he would definitely be like him, hiding his aura very deeply.

As dusk approached, Xiao Chen could feel that he was getting closer and closer to that aura. Finally, he locked onto a deep valley in the southeast direction.

Twilight had already arrived, and the mountains were even darker. Trees were dazzling, rocks were rugged, and there was an indescribable aura of ghosts.

When Xiao Chen arrived at the deep valley, his keen divine sense immediately locked onto a cave. Inside the cave, there was a person hiding. However, that person seemed to be seriously injured and was on the verge of death.

At this moment, a few other auras came from outside. Xiao Chen moved and entered the cave. With a flick of his sleeve, he withdrew all the auras from the cave until the aura outside slowly approached.

“Strange, the aura just now was nearby. Why is it missing?”

“Look carefully …”

There were about five or six people outside. They searched the area for a while before heading out of the valley.

The sky gradually darkened. It wasn’t until the auras of the people outside disappeared that Xiao Chen turned around. At this moment, he discovered that the person in the cave was too seriously injured and no longer had any signs of life.
