The Azure Thunderbolt imprint was formed when Lu Zheng absorbed the rank eight azure thunderbolt. Since then, Lu Zheng had not used Flame Absorption to refine any fire path cultivation material into his bloodline.
He knew that if he refined too many imprints into his Vermillion Blood, his bloodline would become dilute and his battle strength would fall greatly. Lu Zheng had to increase the purity of his Vermillion Blood and increase his bloodline power before he dared to refine more imprints into his Vermillion Blood.
Lu Zheng felt at ease in the fire path environment. He even wished he could remove his robes so his body could bask in the dense fire Qi directly.
The fire path Yi clansmen were the same. The other martial warriors could not understand their lines of thought.
The Vermillion Sacred Prism flew out of Lu Zheng's spatial ring. She flew around him three times before settling before him.
"Lu Zheng, you selfish idiot! How can you be in such a place and not even think of sharing it with me!? Despite everything that I have done for you! Oh, I feel wronged. Who will I complain to? Who will help me punish this idiot Lu Zheng? Who…?"
The Vermillion Sacred Prism did not waste time before continuing her normal routine of rambling.
Lu Zheng massaged his temple. He had almost forgotten about the Vermillion Sacred Prism's nature.
"Why do I have to tell you? You are the legendary artifact of the Sleid Imperial Family, surely your senses are keener than mine" Lu Zheng teased.
"Hmph! Do you mock me!? If it wasn't for the stuffy space inside your spatial ring that dulls my senses, you think I would not have sense such a place before your eyes even dreamt of seeing them? Hmph! Don't make me laugh. Besides, my grade has fallen to rank three Immortal Grade and my senses have become weaker. If not, you can never compare to me"
Lu Zheng rolled his eyes. The artifact spirit of the Vermillion Sacred Prism was so full of herself. Before he could say anything, the Vermillion Sacred Prism suddenly exclaimed.
"This aura! Surely, this is the rare rank nine cultivation material, Profound Flame Crystal! Unbelievable!"
The Vermillion Sacred Prism did not speak too much for the first time since Lu Zheng knew it. It flew swiftly away from Lu Zheng in a certain direction.
"This…" Lu Zheng was stunned. One moment, the Vermillion Sacred Prism was reprimanding him and the next, it flew away in shock.
The other martial warriors were not as stunned as Lu Zheng. They could not hear the conversation between Lu Zheng and the Vermillion Sacred Prism but they knew that they had to follow it.
It was instinctive.
The fire path Yi clansmen moved at once but Lu Zheng would never be beaten in speed. He moved swiftly and his legs shuffled awkwardly. He was using Quick Steps as he ran.
Alaka'i and the others also ran after them. Their curiosities were peaked by the weird actions of Lu Zheng and the fire path Yi clansmen.
Lu Zheng was very fast, he soon overtook the fire path Yi clansmen. Yet, he was not faster than the rank three Immortal Grade artifact – Vermillion Sacred Prism. He could only move in the direction that it had flown.
As he moved in the direction, he could sense that the ambient fire Qi was thickening and his Vermillion Bird Race bloodline was getting excited. Bloodline power spiralled out of him and columns of fire erupted from his body without control.
Lu Zheng could barely control himself.
~Just what is this Profound Flame Crystal?~
It did not take Lu Zheng too long to find the Vermillion Sacred Prism. He stood seventy metres away from where it was and gazed at it. His expression was complex.
~This… what is this?~
