Time passed quickly. After a barrage of sweet talk and enjoyable experiences provided by Yu Zhibo, the little Golden Crow began to regard Yu Zhibo as its only friend in this world.
As for a friend's request, the little Golden Crow naturally felt obligated.
For the next month, the little Golden Crow first gifted Yu Zhibo the water-attribute explosion pearl obtained from hunting water snakes, and then accompanied Yu Zhibo in hunting down chaotic beasts that controlled various laws.
Thus, after mastering the fundamental essences of wind, water, and lightning, Yu Zhibo also mastered the wind and fire attributes, finally reaching the essence of law level for all five basic attributes of ninjutsu.
The acquisition of the wind law originated from a wind wolf of over eighty levels, and the fire attribute was obtained by killing a fire ape nearing ninety levels. Both controlled powerful chaotic laws. If not for the little Golden Crow's assistance, Yu Zhibo might have suffered a defeat.
And all of this was obtained by Yu Zhibo with nothing more than various novel toys and delicacies from Earth.
During this period, the little Golden Crow lived a nine-to-six lifestyle, accompanying Yu Zhibo to hunt beasts at fixed times, and spending its rest time playing games, eating, and the like. Recently, it had become addicted to racing, specifically asking Yu Zhibo to use earth-style ninjutsu to carve out an even more outrageous, underworld-like racetrack than Mount Akina, spending its days racing with its clones.
One day, in a certain area of the Boundary Vein Land.
"Boom!"
A colossal beast, as if cast in steel, shimmering golden all over, like a pile of golden diamonds, crashed to the ground.
This giant beast was called the Geng Metal Beast, transformed from the sentient Geng Metal of chaos, controlling the metal element of the Five Elements. Its strength was terrifying.
However, it was killed when facing the little Golden Crow. The True Sun Flame released by the little Golden Crow was notorious even in the Qingchu World, located in the Great Chaos. It was not something that creatures controlling minor chaotic laws could contend with. In a single encounter, its true spirit was directly incinerated into ashes.
"Holy crap, so strong!" Yu Zhibo swallowed, feeling that not making an enemy of the little Golden Crow was his most correct decision.
"How is it, am I amazing?!" The little Golden Crow proudly tilted its head, looking like it was begging for praise.
As a descendant of the Sun God Bird, the little Golden Crow's good impression of Yu Zhibo did not stem from the novelties provided by the latter. It was more because of the Golden Crow Radiance emitted from Yu Zhibo's right eye.
Although the intensity of this Golden Crow Radiance was far inferior to the flames on the Sun Star, its aura was surprisingly similar, which was truly bizarre.
Setting aside the various magic treasures in the Qingchu Realm that fused with the Sun God Flame, apart from the Golden Crow, few other creatures could control this energy.
If it weren't for discovering that Yu Zhibo was indeed a person, the little Golden Crow would have almost suspected that this person was an illegitimate child of its father, sent to bring back the target of the Sun Star under the guise of exile.
It was precisely because of recognizing Yu Zhibo's power that it was willing to act like a silly, innocent girl, comfortably enjoying all the benefits provided by Yu Zhibo, and then helping him rapidly improve his strength.
After all, it was idle anyway.
After the Geng Metal Beast died, Yu Zhibo happily dug out its law chaotic core from its forehead. Then, after the little Golden Crow expressed disdain for the Geng Metal Beast's corpse, he happily collected its body into his Pure Land space.
The body of the Geng Metal Beast was composed of chaotic Geng Metal, its hardness far exceeding the Black Gold Stone he had obtained in a secret realm, not at the same level of mineral substance at all.
And after absorbing the chaotic Geng Metal core, his level also leaped to the 90th Divine Tier. His aura was majestic, and his Susanoo reached a maximum of twenty thousand meters, with a nearly tenfold increase in defense.
In addition, he evolved the law derived from Steel Release into the metal element of the Five Elements. Thus, with all five elements complete, he began to nurture the chaotic Yin-Yang Law.
It could be imagined that if he controlled the power of chaotic Yin-Yang, his Sharingan and Senjutsu would undergo a qualitative improvement, and the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan derived from it would also become incredibly powerful.
The body of the Geng Metal Beast weighed tens of millions of tons and was an excellent material for refining artifacts. Yu Zhibo entrusted his Lightning Essence clone to carry hundreds of thousands of tons back to Earth. A portion was directly given to the country, and another portion was used to refine various weapons and magic treasures. While gifting them to Yu Xiaoying and Chen Bo, he also prepared to upgrade his own equipment to chaotic Geng Metal gear.
"Little Golden Crow, thank you!"
After refining the Geng Metal core, Yu Zhibo ascended to the 90th Divine Tier, feeling the almost explosive power within him, and expressed his gratitude.
"It's nothing, it's just a small matter, I was bored anyway," the little Golden Crow said nonchalantly.
Yu Zhibo also revealed a smile. At first, his kindness towards the little Golden Crow did have an element of utilization, but now he genuinely considered it a good friend.
"Weren't you exiled for ten thousand years? How many years have passed now?" he couldn't help but ask.
The little Golden Crow scratched its head, and with its fair fingers, it touched a golden feather pattern below its collarbone. Instantly, a miniature Golden Crow appeared in its palm. This Golden Crow was mostly brilliant gold, with only a small portion at the tail being grayish-black.
"Nine thousand years. It's almost time to go back in another thousand years," the little Golden Crow chuckled. "You have to watch me often during this time; a bird gets too bored."
Yu Zhibo couldn't help but click his tongue. It could only be said that it was worthy of being a divine bird. A thousand years that seemed incredibly long in his eyes became so insignificant in its eyes.
Could he live for a thousand years?
Yu Zhibo thought for a moment. The lifespan of a Dao Saint was unknown, but Wang Shouyi, who was at the forefront of longevity as an extraordinary being, was only over 160 years old. No one knew the lifespan limit of an A-rank. However, based on his understanding of his own body, with his current strength, living for two to three thousand years seemed entirely possible.
"Are there no other ways to go back?" Yu Zhibo asked.
He felt that there must be a way to go to the Qingchu Continent, otherwise, there wouldn't be cases of the Liberation Sect guiding Earth's powerhouses to ascend to the Qingchu Continent. Originally, he planned to ascend with Wang Shouyi after dealing with the sea beasts and demons on Earth.
"The connection between the Great Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Small Thousand Worlds is through boundary veins, and we are currently in a boundary vein. However, to activate the teleportation ability of the boundary vein, one needs to find the Heart of the Boundary Vein!" The little Golden Crow shrugged adorably. "But so far, I haven't found the existence of the Heart of the Boundary Vein."
"Let's keep an eye out, what if we bump into it?" Yu Zhibo said with a smile.
The little Golden Crow shook its head. "It's very difficult. The Heart of the Boundary Vein is elusive. It can transform into dust in the Boundary Vein Land, or it can become a mountain, a tree, or a small beast. If it doesn't want to be found, even if divine sense covers every inch of land in the Boundary Vein Land, it cannot be found."
"Then you'll still be trapped for a thousand years?" Yu Zhibo felt a bit sympathetic.
"It doesn't matter!" The little Golden Crow said nonchalantly. "Let me tell you, the Qingchu Realm is so boring. I've lived there for tens of thousands of years, and these past few months with you have been more fun."
As it spoke, it raised its wrist and glanced at the emerald children's watch on its wrist. "Oh no, it's time to get off work. I need to go play games. Let's go back quickly!"
"Alright!" Yu Zhibo smiled helplessly, and the figures of him and the little Golden Crow instantly vanished from their original positions.
