Subsequently, Qin Longxuan had Qin Chu take out the ancient texts for study, explaining as Qin Chu read.
The Vermilion Bird Body is one of the most typical ultimate arts of the Vermilion Bird Holy Family, using Bloodline Power to condense Vermilion Bird Wings.
Vermilion Bird Wings not only provide a speed boost but can also be used for defense. However, there's a distinction between illusory fire and true fire. Members of the Vermilion Bird Family condense illusory fire Vermilion Bird Wings using their Bloodline Power, but Qin Chu, possessing the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire, can Cultivate true fire Vermilion Bird Wings.
"Although the Vermilion Bird Wings condensed from true fire are different from our Vermilion Bird Family's traditional Vermilion Bird Body, there are still similarities. So, after you've Cultivated it well, be careful with its use. When one day our Vermilion Bird Holy Family stands before people again, there will be no need to hide," Qin Longxuan said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu's heart felt a little heavy, as this was a compromise made after the suppression of the Vermilion Bird Holy Family, a helpless situation.
Under Qin Longxuan's guidance, Qin Chu began to Cultivate the Vermilion Bird Body. By evening, the fire and Origin Qi within Qin Chu's Dantian fused, and under his command, flowed to his back according to the Vermilion Bird Body's cultivation method.
With a roar, a pair of purple-red flaming wings appeared on Qin Chu's back.
As Qin Chu communicated with them, the wings established a connection with his body, and he controlled them as if they were his own arms.
With a flap of the wings, Qin Chu's body shot out, then with a single wing flap, he spun around and returned to his original spot.
"Good! Your Vermilion Bird Body has taken shape. Next is to master it. Also, your Vermilion Bird Body is very different from our Vermilion Bird Holy Family's traditional Vermilion Bird Body. It's fine to use it; if anyone asks, just say you obtained fire and Cultivated holy fire wings!" Qin Longxuan said to Qin Chu.
Then, under Qin Longxuan's guidance, Qin Chu familiarized himself with the Vermilion Bird Body, or rather, the holy fire wings.
It grew dark, but Qin Chu didn't leave, continuing to Cultivate in the canyon. He not only used the holy fire wings for acceleration and defense but also for cutting and attacking.
After Cultivating until midnight, Qin Chu sat in meditation to Cultivate his Origin Qi. He had an idea: he planned to reach Level Seven of the Spiritual Origin Realm before the Sword Intent eruption period arrived. That was the Late Stage of the Spiritual Origin Realm, and the gap between him and Cultivators at Level Eight and Nine of the Spiritual Origin Realm wouldn't be too great.
Qin Longxuan also sat in meditation to Cultivate. After taking the Muscle Regeneration Pill, his body had already recovered, and now he was continuing to nourish it.
Over the next few days, Qin Chu continuously Cultivated the Vermilion Bird Body.
Initially, when Qin Chu used the holy fire wings, his robes would still be scorched, but as his control deepened, they no longer affected his clothes.
Additionally, Qin Longxuan also taught Qin Chu a set of claw techniques called Vermilion Bird Sky-Seizing Hand, an unarmed ultimate skill.
Initially, Qin Chu wasn't very interested, Cultivating only to avoid disappointing Qin Longxuan. But after Cultivating it, Qin Chu discovered that when his Sword Origin Qi was infused into his five fingers, it could also empower his Sword Intent, essentially allowing him to perform Sword moves unarmed.
"You..." Seeing Qin Chu Cultivate a mutated Vermilion Bird Sky-Seizing Hand, Qin Longxuan's eyes were filled with shock, as he had never imagined such a possibility.
In the past, Cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Holy Family used the Vermilion Bird Sky-Seizing Hand because of their powerful bodies, excelling in close-range grappling and killing. But now, in Qin Chu's hands, the Vermilion Bird Sky-Seizing Hand had become a formidable killing move.
"Third Uncle, Qin Chu's Origin Qi is different from ordinary Origin Qi. Because he Cultivates Sword Origin Qi, his Origin Qi has the characteristics of Sword Qi and can empower Sword Intent," Qin Chu explained.
At this point, Qin Longxuan understood that Qin Chu, who had grown up outside, was different from Disciples who had grown up within the traditional Vermilion Bird Holy Family; he had already established his own Foundation.
As Qin Chu familiarized himself with the Vermilion Bird Body again, when he used the holy fire wings, influenced by the Vermilion Bird Sky-Seizing Hand, he tried to use fire energy in the form of Sword Qi, also empowering it with Sword Intent.
Swish!
As the sound of Sword Qi leaving his body emanated, a pair of flaming Sword Qi wings appeared on Qin Chu's back, different from the previous holy fire wings.
With the appearance of the wings, Qin Chu vibrated them, and his body began to soar. The Sword Qi wings cut through the air, and some surrounding trees were severed. The cuts were not only clean but also had flaming energy invading them, causing destructive damage.
Qin Longxuan watched the ethereal Qin Chu, realizing that Qin Chu was not as he had imagined. Since meeting Qin Chu, he had always thought of him as a child, but Qin Chu was not at all; Qin Chu was a Cultivator with capability and his own ideas.
"Qin Chu, calling these wings holy fire wings is no longer appropriate. These are holy fire Sword Wings. Even if you use them in the future, no one will be able to tell what they are. But is this still the Vermilion Bird Body?" Qin Longxuan sighed.
Hearing Qin Longxuan's words, Qin Chu dispersed the holy fire Sword Wings and condensed the traditional Vermilion Bird Body. "Third Uncle, you see, the Vermilion Bird Body is still here! Qin Chu will not forget that he is a member of the Vermilion Bird Holy Family."
"You're mistaken. What you should not forget is that you are the Young Lord of the Vermilion Bird Holy Family!" Qin Longxuan corrected Qin Chu's words.
Qin Chu smiled. He could understand Qin Longxuan's heart; he regarded the Vermilion Bird Family as incredibly important, which was why he constantly reminded him that he was the heir.
"Third Uncle, we can't stay here anymore. Where will you go then? How can Qin Chu find you in the future?" Qin Chu asked.
"Into the city. In the past, I had to hide because of my injuries, unable to suppress my aura, fearing discovery by other Holy Family members. Now, that won't happen; besides, what if I am discovered? I'll kill anyone who discovers me directly. In the past, I couldn't fight, but now let them try!" Qin Longxuan's aura changed, becoming extremely sharp.
Qin Chu nodded. He knew that the previously dejected Qin Longxuan was gone; now, standing before him was an invigorated Qin Longxuan.
Qin Longxuan and Qin Chu left the canyon and entered Heavenly Sword City. Then, Qin Longxuan settled into an inn not far from the Alchemist Guild, so Qin Chu could find him at any time if something happened.
After settling Qin Longxuan, Qin Chu returned to the Alchemist Guild.
"Boss, you're finally back! I'm leaving now," Qian Xun said, a little emotional when he saw Qin Chu.
"Where are you going?" Qin Chu asked, puzzled.
"Heavenly Sword City is in chaos. My Family is worried about my safety, so they sent me a message, telling me I must rendezvous with the Family. If I don't go, I'll become a rebellious son of the Family," Qian Xun explained.
"Go!" Qin Chu said. He knew Qian Xun's background was not simple, and now was an extraordinary time, so the Family must have arrangements.
"Aren't you coming with me?" Qian Xun asked, looking at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu shook his head. As a Sword Cultivator, he naturally had to participate in this struggle. He also wanted to see what the Geniuses on the Azure Cloud Ranking were truly like. Besides, Chen Yue had gone to notify Qin Lingxi. If he left, Qin Lingxi wouldn't be able to find him, and he would miss the chance to meet his aunt.
"Here are some materials I obtained. They record some members on the Azure Cloud Ranking, and also, people from the major Holy Families have arrived, as well as people from Blade God Valley," Qian Xun handed Qin Chu a notebook.
