Lin Wu watched on as the Vermillion flames ravaged the lands. From one end of the horizon to the next, only one thing could be seen, and they were the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's flames.
The flames burned for several hours and it was already nighttime by the time the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was done with it. Actually, it wasn't that taxing for her either. At the start, she was still working on stabilizing her cultivation base, but after an hour or so she was done and just sat on the platform while her Dao shell and Dao embryo did the work.
It was as if she had just opened a tap to let the bath fill in while she took a nap. Lin Wu was quite astounded by this as he realized the Dao embryo wasn't even using the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's own spirit Qi.
Rather than that, it was absorbing spirit Qi from the surroundings on its own and then using that to produce the vermilion flames.
"Damn, the power of a Dao Treading realm expert is far more than the information that I got till now." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
The task that Lin Wu had assigned the system to modify the platform was also completed long ago, and he was just watching the flames spread the entire time. He was observing it not just because he was awed by it, but also because the system was actively recording information.
Lin Wu felt like he could gain a better understanding of the fire element and his own fragment of the Vermillion bird's bloodline if he observed the flames and he really did end up having some progress.

This was the result of two hours of observation that Lin Wu had done. The total time he had watched was longer than that though, and he felt like he would have another upgrade just by watching it.
But just when he felt that he was close to it, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stopped producing the flames and recalled the Dao shell into her body.
"You're done?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Yes. The entire Dread Coil Marsh should now be covered with the flames. And even if some parts are left, the flames should spread there as well." Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle answered.
~shua~
~Crackle~
The sounds of flames burning continued to spread across the area as the ground beneath it cracked and popped after being hardened.
"How long will these flames stay like this?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Hmm… I don't know, but it should be at least a few days." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated. "Though we'll know if we wait long enough." She added.
Hearing her words, Lin Wu didn't know what to say.
"I guess… that works. The skull god shouldn't have many chances to escape now that we have the entire area covered. That is IF he survived the initial attack somehow." Lin Wu said.
The two beasts stood on the floating platform for a few minutes in silence as they gazed over the burning lands. It was already nighttime and the Vermillion flames made it seem like it wasn't night at all.
The light from the flames was bright enough to turn the clouds orange and since there was barely any smoke coming from the flames, it made it look even more beautiful. But this also raised the temperature of the area to at least two hundred degrees Celsius even at the height where Lin Wu currently was.
"This is definitely at the level of a calamity, now that I think of it…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
"Calamity, huh…" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle suddenly said.
Lin Wu instantly became alert and wondered if there was something wrong he had said.
"Did you say something?" Lin Wu questioned.
"No… it's just that word… Calamity, it seems familiar to me." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle replied.
"The human word 'Calamity' is familiar to you?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Yes… but I don't fully remember why. I seem to have heard it a long time ago." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle replied.
"It's just a word. Maybe you heard it from other humans." Lin Wu spoke.
"No, this seems different. It's a like a very old memory during which I'm sure I didn't listen to humans talk that much or not at all." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated.
"A time that old?" Lin Wu thought over it for a bit before speaking, "is it perhaps from back when you didn't have this level of intelligence? Back when you were a normal Qi refining realm beast?"
Hearing this, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle suddenly raised her head.
"That may actually be it." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle replied.
"Really?" Lin Wu didn't expect he would get the right answer in one go.
"Yes." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated as she looked in the distance.
After a few more minutes of silence, she suddenly flapped her wings and flew up.
"Where are you going?" Lin Wu questioned.
"I'll take my leave now. I've finished my goal and need to assimilate the bloodline essence fully. This will take me more time and a more secluded location to do so." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle answered.
Hearing this, Lin Wu felt a bit unwilling to just let her go.
"Why don't you come back with me to the Millennium forest? I assure you the place will be good and no one would disturb you there either." Lin Wu asked.
The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle went silent for a while and thought for a bit before shaking her head.
"No, I also want to check some other things out before that… I want to find my siblings… see if they awakened the bloodline of the Vermillion bird as well." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle spoke.
"I see… I understand." Lin Wu replied, feeling inexplicably sad.
"Though I wouldn't mind coming there later to visit." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle added later on.
Lin Wu raised his eyes, and a toothy smile appeared on his face.
"Well then, I'll wait for you... Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle." Lin Wu spoke in a happy tone.
"You can call me Zhu Tianying… I think it's time I change my name." She replied.
Lin Wu nodded his head upon hearing this.
"The Vermillion Sky Eagle… It does suit you with your evolution." Lin Wu agreed.
"Farewell… Lin Wu," Zhu Tianying said one last time before turning around and flying away.
~PIIIIIII~
Her cry echoed across the skies, making the sea of flames beneath it dance. Lin Wu watched her disappear beyond the horizon before letting out a sigh.
"Can't even believe that it's been six months since then…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
'I hope we meet again soon…' He thought to himself before speaking, "system, take this platform to the east."
~shua~
In the next moment, the platform started to move and soon sped up. In a couple of minutes, it was flying at a speed that was nearly the same as that of Lin Wu's own flight speed.
In this journey, he had a lot of gains and had learned even more. Lin Wu couldn't help but sigh again as he recalled all the memories.
"I guess this can be said to be my first adventure…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
"Can't say I didn't have fun though… and I got pretty strong too." Lin Wu continued.
He looked at Shirong and took out the fake spear he had put in his ring before modifying some things in it.
"This will be a bit more accurate now." Lin Wu said, before storing it back into Shirong's ring.
"System, show me the host data." Lin Wu ordered.

Lin Wu checked his gains from the entire adventure and nodded his head.
"I'll have to assimilate all the information of cultivation that I got from the memories as well and then increase the cultivator of my main body. Thankfully, it will benefit both of my bodies now." Lin Wu said as he soared across the sky on the platform.
