--- Chapter 126 ---

Above the clouds, Baek Ain and his companions quickly traveled over a thousand miles in just a few minutes. Xue Rongrong possessed quite a frightening speed.

"Elder, can you give me a rough introduction to the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe?" Baek Ain suddenly asked. He could have asked this months ago, but he was busy with his things.

Xue Rongrong pondered and then answered calmly, "The Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird is the servant of the Divine Golden Crow. We are the descendants who lost the favor of Heaven."

"Not only we lost the favor of Heaven, but our bloodline also declined greatly." A hint of shame sidelined in her voice. "The current Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe barely reaches its true potential."

"Even our Patriarch and Grand Elder are limited by this, having the strength of 1-Star Dou Saint and 2-Star Dou Saint, respectively. And that's with a heavy supply of Heaven and Earth Treasures."

"The Grand Elder said our limit is 2-Star Dou Saint. And you know, not every tribe member has such chances. Unless we recover Heaven's Favour from you, Saint." Xue Rongrong added as a matter of fact.

"What favors exactly?" Lan Rou couldn't help but ask.

Xue Rongrong laughed bitterly and said, "We want..."

"His blessing and Dou Qi Method(cultivation technique), right?" Cai Lin suddenly stated, which left Xue Rongrong speechless, and then laughed even more.

The blessing Cai Lin mentioned here is Baek Ain's blood, which carried Golden Crow's Aura as he cultivated the Record of Burning World and tempered every inch of his flesh with Golden Crow's Flame.

It's not exaggeration that Baek Ain's body is a treasure by itself.

As for the Dou Qi Method, who wouldn't want a powerful cultivation technique? Unfortunately, Baek Ain and Xue Rongrong knew the Record of Burning World wasn't suitable for the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe.

The Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe members do have a qualification to cultivate it. However, they wouldn't progress past the 1st stage because the Record of Burning World requires divine-level fire affinity and Golden Crow's characteristics. Baek Ain bypassed this by having the Blessing of Golden Crow.

After thinking about it, Baek Ain tapped the back of the massive bird and said, "Elder Rongrong, can you give me a drop of your blood?"

"I want to find a way to purify Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird's Bloodline and make a suitable Dou Qi method for the tribe."

Xue Rongrong and two other ladies were stunned. The former couldn't help but cry in happiness and answered, "Take as much as you want, Saint. For the tribe, I'm willing to sacrifice my body."

"Thank you~!"

"Thank you so much~!"

"It's okay. I'm just doing my duty." Baek Ain casually waved his hand.

Knowing the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe exists in this alternative world to become the background for himself, Baek Ain believed the tribe could become one of the most reliable allies in the future.

With that thought in the plan, Baek Ain doesn't mind spending some effort.

Baek Ain grabbed a needle and swiftly yet efficiently pierced it against Xue Rongrong's feather-covered back. Storing into a beaker, Baek Ain sealed it with his Dou Qi and picked some feathers too.

He gently patted Xue Rongrong's back to heal it with Wood Dou Qi and said, "Don't bother me until we arrive at the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe."

Watching Baek Ain enter his work mode, Lan Rou and Cai Lin could only giggle helplessly. They gave him more room to concentrate and gossip with Xue Rongrong, talking about mundane things.

'Alicia, open the library.' Baek Ain commanded while observing the red blood in the beaker.

'I will analyze Xue Rongrong's Blood and synthesize some Dou Technique.'

[Opening Library...]

[Yao Men(+)]

[Old Ground Demon Ghost(+)]

[Han Feng(+)]

[Venerable Earth Dragon(+)]

[Kong Jingchen(+)]

Baek Ain drew into his research on Xue Rongrong's blood, finding it very explosive yet brimming with life force. It means the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird wasn't a Magical Beast with pure fire affinity.

It's not bizarre, considering many Magical Beasts could possess more than one element. It all depends on their bloodline limit.

The problem is that they couldn't fully master the Record of Burning World as he had expected.

'Alicia, create a file.'

[What file you wanted to create, Host?]

'An Incomplete Record of Burning World. Up to the 4th stage should be enough foundation for Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe's new cultivation technique.'

[Creating a file...]

[Done]

[Record of Burning World(Incomplete Revised Version]

Baek Ain let out a small laugh when looking at the attached detail on the Record of Burning World's Name. It's not just a decoration as it signifies this Record of Burning World is different from the original.

Yes, that's right. This revised version is the Record of Burning World that Baek Ain had painstakingly comprehended with his understanding and experience. Each stage is unique and filled with his profound wisdom over Fire Element.

Even the Divine Golden Crow will be amazed by Baek Ain's tactfulness and approach to the Record of Burning World. We are talking about divine scripture created in the Primordial Era and worth a million stars here. And a junior actually revised it.

Baek Ain continued experimenting with his synthesis and tested it over a thousand times to find the most suitable Dou Qi Method(Cultivation Technique) for Xue Rongrong's Tribe.

He has to consider many things, such as foundation, stability, and future growth. There is no use of flashy techniques and offensive approaches because Baek Ain pursued efficiency in Cultivation Way.

More efficient, the stronger the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe can be. He also believed they weren't lacking Dou Techniques as Xue Rongrong's tribe is a powerful faction in this continent.

Times fly away.

The bright sun was "quickly." replaced by a cold moon.

Even though flying didn't consume much energy, Xue Rongrong still chose to land and rest near a river.

Baek Ain leaned on the rock and continued researching while his companions roasted some river fish.

[This is 1856th Synthesize] Alicia reported like a dutiful servant.

[Ding! You have chosen 1x Incomplete Record of Burning World as the primary core]

[Ding! You have chosen 1x Rotting Wood Origin Technique, 1x Heavenly Sacred Green Sutra, and 1x True Ash Flame Chant as subsidiary cores]

[Synthesizing...]

[Ding! You have created "Unknown Version 1856."]

Baek Ain's Parallel Thinking immediately reviewed the Unknown Version 1856 and discovered an acceptable result after running some tests.

No, it's not just an acceptable result. It was a great result that will shake the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe.

[Do you want to name the Unknown Version 1856?] Alicia suddenly asked.

Baek Ain grinned like a foolish teenager and replied, "Yes."

"I'll name it Dawnbreak Mystic Art."

[Name: Dawnbreak Mystic Art]

[Type: Dou Qi Method]

[Grade: S+]

[Description: "The sun charred onto a tall tree, burning with shadow-like flame." The Dawnbreak Mystic Art is a well-synthesized Dou Qi Method with the Incomplete Record of Burning and three other effective techniques, creating a cultivation technique suitable for the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird]

[1st Stage: Charred Tree]

[2nd Stage: Sizzling Ashes]

[3rd Stage: Burning Nether Flame]

[4th Stage: Raging Nether Flame]

[5th Stage: Dawnbreak Illumination]

Since the Dawnbreak Mystic Art has deep similarity with the Record of Burning World, Baek Ain could use it without any problem. He's the creator of it, after all.

A shadowy purple ball of flame burned above Baek Ain's hand, becoming hotter and hotter each second. His finger appeared charred abruptly and released ash-like substances.

"Dawnbreak Illumination." Baek Ain murmured while pointing his finger to the ground, causing the fireball to churn into the earth.

BOOM!

An explosion occurred, blasting burning ashes everywhere.

Baek Ain remained in his position with an energy barrier made of his Dou Qi Energy.

His companions were alerted as they hurriedly ran to his side.

"Ain, are you okay?!" Cai Lin was the most sensitive with Fire Element out of the three.

The second was Xue Rongrong.

And the third is Lan Rou.

They approached Baek Ain, only to find him grinning like a giddy child.

Looking at him, Cai Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes. She knew Baek Ain's research had succeeded.

Lan Rou wasn't that surprised. She roughly understood Baek Ain's ability to fuse and create new Dou Techniques but won't ask about it until he was willing to share it.

Baek Ain ignored Cai Lin's loathsome gaze and glanced at Xue Rongrong, finding her kneeling on the ground.

She was crying.

"Thank you, Saint."

"Thank you, Saint."

"This lowly servant is willing to do anything for you."

Baek Ain laughed amusingly and commented, "Get up, Elder. I'm doing this for my own interest."

"Since you're my subordinate, isn't it right for me to pay you?"

"Here, you're the first to train Dawnbreak Mystic Art. Though, your cultivation base might get reduced because of the difference in quality."

Of course, Baek Ain talked about the difference in quality between Xue Rongrong's current Dou Qi Method and Dawnbreak Mystic Art.

Rubbing his forehead, Baek Ain placed his right hand on Xue Rongrong's head and sent the new cultivation technique to her.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you~! My lord." Xue Rongrong was on the verge of kissing Baek Ain's shoe. But the two other ladies immediately stopped her.

Baek Ain shook his head and said, "Try the new cultivation technique if you want to thank me. We will do some testing while traveling."
