"After Fei Jin took the Soul-Locking Pill, she’s been put under soft imprisonment by that old thing, Di Jie." The Iceflame Vermilion Bird’s speech was increasingly rapid, "Originally, this matter was not meant to be told to you. Fei Jin also strictly instructed me not to tell you, because with your current strength, you simply can’t intervene. Both Fei Jin and I thought that since the wedding date hadn’t come yet, you still had time to grow. But we didn’t expect Di Jie to act so quickly, already communicating with the Hu Family, and even setting a wedding date just three months from now. The time is too tight, too late, there’s no time left for you to grow stronger. So I came to find you secretly, without telling Fei Jin, to inform you of this news."

"Is Fei Jin alright now?" Su Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Three months? There’s still time.

"There’s definitely no problem now. After all, that old thing Di Jie still has to hand Fei Jin over to the Young Master of the Hu Family in three months, so he wouldn’t dare let anything happen to her. For now, aside from being under soft imprisonment, Fei Jin is fine."

Su Chen’s complexion improved slightly, then he stared at the Iceflame Vermilion Bird and asked coldly, "Since you’re the demon beast enlightened by my mother, why didn’t you leave the Flame Universe Plane with her?"

"Well..." The Iceflame Vermilion Bird seemed a bit embarrassed but still explained, "The Main Mother instructed me to stay by Fei Jin’s side to guide her in cultivation."

Su Chen was somewhat speechless, "Mother sure treats Fei Jin well!!!

Didn’t even send a True Chaos Level beast to guide me."

"Then why didn’t you rescue Fei Jin? I suppose with your strength, the Di Family wouldn’t be able to stop you from rescuing her," Su Chen asked flatly.

"You brat, do you think I don’t want to? But before leaving the Flame Plane, the Main Mother sealed most of my power, afraid that I’d be too strong and affect Fei Jin’s growth. The Main Mother already regards Fei Jin as her daughter-in-law, values her greatly, and doesn’t want me to impact Fei Jin’s future," the Iceflame Vermilion Bird replied somewhat gloomily. "My current strength is about the same as yours now."

"What about the strength of the Di Family’s strong members, or rather, that old thing Di Jie you mentioned?" Su Chen asked indifferently. He must rescue his fiancée, whom even his mother had acknowledged as her daughter-in-law, even if it meant braving the Knife Mountains and Sea of Flames.

Without a doubt.

Thus, the strength of the Di Family members is very crucial.

"The strong members of the Di Family are generally above the Fifth Level of the Realm of Returning to Truth. That old thing Di Jie has already reached the Fourth Level of the Human Lord Realm. And Di Jie isn’t the strongest in the Di Family; they have an Old Ancestor who has lived for nearly a hundred million years, and he’s in the Seventh Level of the Human Lord Realm."

Su Chen’s mouth twitched.

Even more exaggerated than he had imagined.

This is not just a Knife Mountain and Sea of Flames; it’s the Ninety-Nine Layers of Hell!

"Not just the Di Family, if unlucky, you still might face the Hu Family. Of course, a Ninth Rank Power like the Hu Family in the Grand Cosmos World wouldn’t spend much effort against you, but you might have to face the Young Master of the Hu Family. Supposedly, that Young Master is no dummy, and within a small area of the Grand Cosmos World, he’s considered a genius, already in the Eighth Level of the Human Lord Realm."

Su Chen completely frowned.

"Scared?" The Iceflame Vermilion Bird snorted coldly.

"Scared." Su Chen nodded, then shifted his tone: "But scared or not, I have to go!!!"

There’s still a thought in his mind, even if it means death, he must go.

Not to mention Fei Jin is his fiancée, his mother’s daughter-in-law...

Fei Jin has saved him from life and death several times before, he must go!

"That’s more like it." The Iceflame Vermilion Bird’s impression of Su Chen improved a bit.

"In three months, is there any way to increase my strength?" Su Chen took a deep breath and asked. Since he decided to visit the Di Family, he couldn’t just recklessly meet his end!

He still wants to succeed in rescuing someone, still wants to share romantic experiences with Fei Jin.

Strength must be increased.

"Increase strength in three months? How much can you increase? Do you want to surpass that old thing Di Jie in three months?" The Iceflame Vermilion Bird shook its head, let out a sigh of disappointment and mockingly hummed: "Even if you took that Life-and-Death Reversing Pill, you couldn’t surpass Di Jie in three months."

"Life-and-Death Reversing Pill? What do you mean?" Su Chen’s eyes lit up, seizing upon a hint of useful information. According to the Iceflame Vermilion Bird’s tone, this Life-and-Death Reversing Pill seemed very formidable, very useful to him.

"What? You want to go after the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill too?" The Iceflame Vermilion Bird was startled, almost speechless:

"Kid, it’s not like I’m afraid to tell you; the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill is a pill that the Di Family spent over ten million years and countless Life-Reversing Treasures to refine."

"This pill is said to be of Half-Step Emperor Level."

"The Life-and-Death Reversing Pill is meant for the Di Family’s Old Ancestor who’s lived nearly a billion years. That Old Ancestor cannot die; if he dies, the Di Family wouldn’t even count as a Ninth Rank Power in the Grand Cosmos World. That Old Ancestor is crucial to everything related to the Di Family." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"However, that Old Ancestor’s lifespan is supposedly just around a billion years, nearly up. The purpose of the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill is to extend that Old Ancestor’s lifespan by about ten million years."

"Of course, if you were to take the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill, assuming you’re lucky enough not to burst, your power should see a terrifying increase. But it wouldn’t reach the level comparable to Di Jie."

.........

Listening to the Iceflame Vermilion Bird’s narration, Su Chen licked his lips.

Interested.

Now, knowing Fei Jin’s situation, he’s being cornered into a dead end.

Aiming for the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill is reasonable, right?

"Kid, are you seriously considering the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill?" Seeing Su Chen’s fiery eyes fixed on him, the Iceflame Vermilion Bird widened its eyes, "Are you crazy? Delusional?"

"What do you think? Is there any other path to take?" Su Chen retorted.

The Iceflame Vermilion Bird fell silent.

After a long while, the Iceflame Vermilion Bird spoke, "Do you know where the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill is? It hasn’t been fully refined yet, but it’s almost complete, and the efficacy should be guaranteed for you. However, the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill, being the most, most, most important Supreme Treasure of the Di Family, akin to a Mother River in its importance, is placed in the deepest part of the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss of the Di Family on the 9th layer. The Emperor’s Treasure Abyss is a place specifically for storing the treasures of the Di Family, equivalent to a Treasure Vault, with a total of 9 layers, each one imagined as an impregnable copper wall, with not even a single Divine Soul able to fly over it. Moreover, the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill is within the Demon Cliff in the deepest part of the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, and even within the Di Family, it seems only Di Jie can enter."

Su Chen was silent.

The Iceflame Vermilion Bird continued, "To get the Life-and-Death Reversing Pill, you have to unlock the first 8 layers of the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss. In other words, if you managed to do that, it’d be equivalent to robbing the entire Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, the treasure vault of the Di Family. Do you think that’s possible? Your idea is just too..."

Too bold.

It’s simply crazy.

To attempt to rob the Di Family’s treasure vault...

How insane and daring do you have to be to even think about it!

Truthfully, even she, the Iceflame Vermilion Bird, considered herself quite fearless, yet she’d never entertained such an idea.

If they really ended up emptying the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, wouldn’t Di Jie and the rest of the Di Family wish desperately to kill Su Chen ten times over, wish desperately to devour Su Chen’s flesh and Divine Soul!

The Emperor’s Treasure Abyss is a treasure vault accumulated over countless years by the Di Family!

If it gets robbed, the Iceflame Vermilion Bird can’t even imagine to what extent the Di Family’s resentment and loss of reason would reach?

"The Emperor’s Treasure Abyss, huh? I’m determined to rob it." Su Chen suddenly grinned, revealing a toothy smile, "I don’t want to either!!! But being pushed to madness, driven into a corner, this is my only option!"

The Iceflame Vermilion Bird was speechless, staring at Su Chen, tightly watching, "Are you serious?"

"Are you scared?" Su Chen countered.

"Would I, the God, be scared?!!! Nonsense! Isn’t it just robbing the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss? I, the God, will join you!" the Iceflame Vermilion Bird, as if its tail were stepped on, snapped back.
