Chapter 274 The Heaven-Mending Pavilion and the Five-Colored Divine Light (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking further subscriptions!)
In an area 100,000 miles from the western border of the Great Wilderness, a group of people were strolling along, seemingly admiring the scenery.

The leader was a beautiful woman with an ethereal air. Her fair face and bright, clear eyes were incredibly lively. Although she was young, she already had a graceful figure. Combined with her flawless white dress that billowed in the mountain wind, she truly looked like a fairy, as if she could ride the wind away at any moment.

Beside her followed an old woman with wrinkled skin and white hair, and a dozen men and women dressed in the same clothes. They were all obviously skilled in cultivation, and each of them had an extraordinary aura. Even the weakest of them had the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which would be considered as high as experts in the lower realm.

As for the old woman, she did not exude any aura of a cultivator and seemed unremarkable. However, judging from her position, she was clearly not low-ranking among the group and was likely a hidden expert.

"Sigh, Youyu, are you really not going to give the last talisman to the Rain Clan?"

Looking at the white-clad girl who seemed to be genuinely enjoying a leisurely stroll, a middle-aged man in the group suddenly sighed.

"Uncle-Master, rules are rules."

The girl lightly touched the blue stones in the stream with her toes, twirling and leaping in the air like a butterfly, appearing very playful. At the same time, she said, "The Rain Clan has only produced a few experts, and we haven't seen the genius they mentioned. Who knows if they're real or not? They have to come out and let my mother-in-law and me test them, don't they?"

"For such an ancient family, nothing is more important than saving face."

The old woman shook her head, her expression somewhat helpless.

"Why should the Butian Pavilion care about other people's feelings?"

The girl didn't care: "Besides, the Rain Clan is a powerful family with abundant resources and powerful techniques. They don't lack a spot for a disciple of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion at all. Rather than wasting it on them, I would rather give it to a genius who truly needs it."

"Of course, if they really want this talisman, they should show some sincerity and let me meet the genius of their clan, or they can take away the talisman I gave away before, it doesn't matter."

At this point, the girl's lips curled up slightly: "However, I heard that their clan has been very busy lately. It seems that some enemy has come knocking on their door, and they have secretly sent so many people to search this Great Wilderness. Among them are even several experts at the peak of the Inscription Realm... Such experts are not many even in the Rain Clan."

"It seems to be related to the Stone Clan's second ancestral land. It is said that someone burned it down, but for some reason, the Rain Clan's reaction was also so intense."

The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier seemed to be deep in thought.

"Could it be related to that person with double pupils in the Martial King's Mansion?"

Someone in the group said.

Upon hearing the words "double pupils," everyone in the group fell silent for a moment, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Ten years ago, a person with double pupils was born in the Shi family's Wuwang Mansion. It is said that he is the reincarnation of an ancient god, with unparalleled talent, and his future will surely be extremely glorious, surpassing his peers.

Many ancient families were skeptical, but after many attempts over the years, they were all shocked and overwhelmed by the talent of those with double pupils. Even top sects like the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and the Deer-Chasing Academy were eager for those with double pupils to join them, and they were willing to make any request, much like how prestigious universities in later generations treat the top scorers in the national college entrance examination.

This time, their group also went to the Martial King's Mansion in the Stone Kingdom to give the talisman to the person with double pupils so that he could directly become a disciple of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, but they were refused.

The person with double pupils stated that he had not yet decided which sect he wanted to join, and even if he did, he could pass the test based on his own strength without needing special treatment.

Everyone was speechless. The talisman, which was extremely rare and sought after in the outside world, was discarded by the person with double pupils. If word got out, it would be a loss of face for the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, but they couldn't find any words to refute it.

There's no way around it; having talent means you can do whatever you want.

“Cry——”

Suddenly, a furious and shrill bird cry rang in their ears, shaking the mountains and unleashing an astonishing killing intent that surged forth like a raging torrent.

Following the sound, they saw a beam of light emanating from that direction, displaying five colors: red, blue, yellow, white, and black, like five guillotines lying across the heavens and earth, as if a god had appeared, illuminating all directions. "It's that ferocious bird with peacock blood! It's discovered us?!"

Everyone was startled awake, looking in surprise into the distance, their expressions turning serious.

They came here not for sightseeing, but to gather intelligence: a powerful and ferocious bird had appeared nearby, suspected to possess the bloodline of the ancient divine bird, the Peacock King.

According to the investigation, it has been frequently appearing in the Great Wilderness recently, and has devoured several large tribes with a population of millions. It was initially thought that it was devouring blood essence in order to break through its cultivation level, but it was later discovered that it was actually laying eggs.

After confirming the authenticity of the news, the girl and her group became excited and quickly analyzed the information they had to track down the bird and try to steal its eggs.

It should be known that these ancient species are rare and powerful beings. Once they reach adulthood, they possess the strength of a king or marquis, or even greater.

It is virtually impossible to obtain the precious techniques from him. Not to mention the terrible price to pay to capture him, he can shatter the runes on his body with a single thought, leaving no way to obtain them.

Therefore, only by striking its eggs, hatching its offspring, and raising them by one's side can one possibly glimpse the secrets of that ancient divine bird's precious technique.

In order to obtain the bird's eggs, the group was very careful, using secret techniques to conceal their presence and staying far away from the bird's nest, waiting for it to go out to forage again before making their move.

But who would have thought that man proposes, God disposes? They thought they had a great chance, but for some reason they disturbed the ferocious bird, which reacted so strongly, as if its eggs had been stolen.

"That shouldn't be the case. At this distance, it shouldn't be able to detect us."

The girl in white murmured, her face filled with doubt and confusion. Her intuition told her that something unexpected might happen.

buzzing-

Suddenly, from the distant mountains, five-colored divine light shot into the sky, its vibrant life force like waves crashing on the shore, an astonishing sight.

Immediately afterwards, a huge peacock rose from the sky, its body shrouded in a layer of light and mist, radiating five-colored rays. With a flap of its wings, a violent burst of energy swept out, leveling the mountains and forests within a radius of dozens of miles.

The girl, the old woman, and their companions all watched this scene in shock.

So powerful, just by flapping its wings, this ferocious bird's strength is probably even more exaggerated than they expected. Even if it's not a Venerable, it's probably not far off. Ordinary Array Realm Kings and Marquises might not be its match.

Just then, they suddenly felt the world darken, and a suppressed rumbling sound came from above.

Subconsciously looking up, I saw a bolt of lightning streak across the sky, with a faintly visible rune shining in the center.

Rumbling--

The runes burst forth with dazzling light, transforming into lightning that wove into a net, stirring up a massive vortex of energy, like a golden eye slowly opening and looking down at the five-colored peacock below.

The five-colored peacock paused slightly in flapping its wings, then fled in one direction at an even faster speed than before.
