CHAPTER 649: CHAPTER 649: DIVINE BIRD QINGLUAN

"What’s going on?"

The cultivators downstream naturally sensed the fighting aura and rushed over.

Mr. Shen arrived the fastest.

When he saw Ling Chen fighting with a blue bird, he was instantly stunned.

Especially since the blue bird was just a King Spiritual Beast.

But the combat power it displayed was comparable to an emperor from the World Realm!

"What’s happening?"

Mr. Shen asked.

While fighting with the blue bird, Ling Chen replied, "This blue bird claims this place as its territory."

"Stinky bird! Watch me take care of you!"

Mr. Shen shouted and was about to charge at the blue bird.

"Mr. Shen, I can handle it! If I can’t beat it, then you can take care of it!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

Although the blue bird was formidable, he was not to be underestimated.

Now that his cultivation level had increased, it was a good opportunity to practice with the blue bird.

"Alright!"

Mr. Shen nodded proudly.

He was now at the eighth level of the Palace Mansion Realm and his strength had increased once again with his Star Celestial Divine Body.

The man and the bird battled fiercely in mid-air.

Soon, Yang Shen and other disciples also hurried over.

"Wow, Junior Brother Ling is really formidable!"

Many disciples exclaimed.

They were all cultivators at the ninth level of the Palace Mansion Realm and could sense that the combatants’ powers had surpassed the Palace Mansion Realm and reached the World Realm level.

Yang Shen originally wanted to intervene but was intercepted by Mr. Shen.

Everyone then started watching the battle.

"Ah, what is the origin of this bird? I have never seen such a King Spiritual Beast before!"

"Yeah! It actually looks quite majestic!"

...

Many disciples began discussing.

Initially, everyone was worried that the battle between the man and the bird might destroy the cave.

However, they soon realized that when the aftermath of the battle reached the cave, a layer of light would appear and dissolve the shockwaves.

It must be a spirit array laid down by the Pavilion Master.

This reassured everyone to boldly watch the battle.

"Good lad, to be able to fight me for so long!"

The blue bird shouted loudly.

This time, it didn’t attack with Wind Blades but transformed into a blue light and charged towards Ling Chen.

Its form wasn’t large, but it was incredibly fast.

It directly struck with the tip of its blue wing.

The tip of the wing emitted brilliant blue light.

"Bring it on!"

Ling Chen shouted loudly, holding the Mystic Sword and slashing towards it.

The Mystic Sword exuded blood-colored Green Lotus Sword Qi.

"Ding!"

The sword and wing collided, making a metallic clashing sound.

"Ah!"

The blue bird suddenly screamed.

A hint of panic appeared in its eyes.

"Boy, what kind of weapon do you have that can injure my blue wing?"

The blue bird paused its attack and looked at Ling Chen somewhat warily.

Its blue wings, especially the tips, were even beyond superior King Spiritual Weapons, somewhat nearing an Emperor Spiritual Weapon.

Yet, Ling Chen’s Mystic Sword had injured it.

This made it quite frightened.

"Heh heh, stinky bird, are you scared now?"

Ling Chen grinned.

This Mystic Sword came from the Emperor Yan Realm.

He did not know the exact quality.

He only knew that it couldn’t be activated by ordinary Spiritual Power or Divine Soul Telekinesis, only through the Power of Fusion.

"You’re the stinky bird! Your whole family are stinky birds! I am a Divine Bird!"

The blue bird was furious.

Clearly, it was extremely averse to the term ’stinky bird.’

"Divine Bird?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen was slightly taken aback, as he carefully sized up the blue bird.

Suddenly, a look of horror appeared on his face.

"You, you couldn’t be the legendary Divine Bird Green Luan, could you?"

Ling Chen exclaimed in surprise.

"Divine Bird Green Luan?"

Mr. Shen’s eyes widened, and his face also showed a look of horror.

Just as Ling Chen said, the bird looked extremely similar to the legendary Green Luan.

"Green Luan?"

Yang Shen and the other disciples were also full of surprise.

"The mountain peak where my Star Pavilion is located is called Green Luan Peak, could it be because of you? But that can’t be right! How old are you?"

Yang Shen said incredulously.

Legend had it that the Divine Bird Green Luan was on Green Luan Peak.

But this bird was too small, perched on the mountain peak, ordinary people couldn’t see it at all.

How could it possibly be named after this bird?

"Hmph!"

The green bird snorted coldly, rather haughtily saying, "At least you have good eyes!"

"Are you really the Green Luan?"

Ling Chen asked, his voice trembling.

Green Luan, a Divine Beast, when mature, can rival a true Divine Spirit.

Looking at this bird, it seemed to be still in its juvenile stage.

"Nonsense, of course I am! Could it be you instead?"

The green bird glanced at Ling Chen.

Such a look was as if it was looking at a bumpkin.

"Hey, kid, don’t change the subject. What exactly is that weapon in your hand?"

The green bird asked again.

Ling Chen’s gaze was locked on the green bird, his eyes ablaze.

This was a Divine Beast!

If he could tame this bird as a mount, how majestic that would be!

With this thought, Ling Chen smiled and said, "I can tell you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What condition?"

The green bird looked wary.

"Follow me."

Ling Chen smiled.

"Joke, I am a Divine Bird, follow you? Please!"

The green bird said disdainfully.

"Are you sure? Don’t regret it!"

Ling Chen scoffed and said, "You call yourself a Divine Bird, yet not even a match for me, still bragging about being a Divine Bird? Are Divine Birds as pathetic as you? In my opinion, you’re at best just a wild chicken!"

"Kid, you’re asking for death!"

The green bird became furious.

It wanted to launch an attack again.

Ling Chen shook the Mystic Sword in his hand, and the green bird’s anger was instantly reduced by half.

The Mystic Sword was too sharp, it couldn’t resist it at all!

Seeing this, Ling Chen transmitted his voice, "Little Green Luan, you’re a Divine Bird, no doubt. But at your current strength, you can’t even deal with me, not to mention others."

"You don’t have to follow me. But think about it! If stronger beings know you’re here, how do you think they’ll deal with you?"

"Probably many people would want to capture you to be their mount, right?"

"Uh, put yourself in their shoes, having a Divine Bird as a mount, isn’t that impressive?"

"Although I’m not strong now, if you follow me, I promise to treat you as a friend. Besides, you say you’re a Divine Bird, but you can’t deal with a regular person like me? You think my potential is worse than yours?"

"I know, when you reach maturity, you will become a true Divine Beast. But in the future, it’s not impossible for me to reach that step too."

"Most importantly, I am a human, and among humans, a genius. As long as you follow me, others won’t touch you. Although your Beast Race is powerful, the rulers of the Jiuzhou Continent are still humans."

"Would you rather be my friend, or serve as someone else’s mount, think about it well!"

After saying this, Ling Chen stopped speaking.

This Green Luan, although of strong lineage, had always stayed here, never seen the world, and was too naive.

His own arguments should have a significant impact on it.

Whether it succeeds or not, he had to try.

A Divine Beast was an invaluable existence.

Upon hearing this, the Green Luan fell into deep thought.

It was contemplating Ling Chen’s words.

Indeed.

It possessed Divine Beast bloodline, a juvenile Divine Beast.

Yet, it was ultimately alone.

In the world of humans, its current strength was too weak.

Now it had made its presence known.

Should the strong figures learn of this, they might indeed make a move against it.
