Chapter 403: 403

Xue Wei looked at the retired Emperor, the current Emperor, and the grand elder . He was not against gifting some of his blood to mutate the primordial beasts . The Emperor had been immensely friendly towards him and even given him the chance of becoming a Vermilion Bird in the Ascended’s Realm . As such, he was not against giving something back .

He knew that these Vermilion Bird Clan members were aware of his identity as the son of the Holy Maiden and that he had the bloodline of hers, the ability to become one of each beast . Thus he also knew that they valued him and had absolutely no intention of harming him .

"Before we can take the discussion further, we need to know how much blood is needed," Xue Wei said with a smile . "Why not call a Primordial Beast, and we will see how much each mutation is?"

The Retired Emperor was shocked, was this not too casual?

But Xue Wei just smiled, "could it be that you have not decided on which Primordial Beasts you wish to have mutated?" he asked after considering for some time .

"We know who," The current Emperor said, slightly embarrassed by the retired Emperor’s expression .

"Then call the first on the list," Xue Wei said . He was not too polite, but none of the older people minded it .

They were quite happy to see that he was so decisive . The fact that he was willing to mutate a beast in front of them meant that he was not planning on scamming them . This made them feel goodwill towards him .

"Oh right," Xue Wei suddenly looked at them, as he was reminded of something, "The mutation is not easy . It requires overwhelming willpower from the Primordial beast or it will fail . I am not sure what the failure would cause, it could kill them or cripple them, but it will be quite severe . Keep that in mind when you pick the Primordial Beasts that you wish to mutate . "

The three old men considered this and nodded their heads, their expressions turning solemn . They were not sure about the process of becoming a mutated Primordial Beast, but they knew that this was the best way to strengthen their armies .

"Summon the Ghost Sword Lin Xuan . " The Retired Emperor called out and an eunuch who had been standing in the shadows bowed before leaving to fetch the Primordial Beast they requested .

"Ghost Sword Lin Xuan is a general in our army . He has been the best swordsman we have, and he has protected our Continent for decades . "

"What is there to be protected against?" Xue Wei asked curiously . Ever since he had arrived in the Demon Phoenix Continent, he had not seen any dangers appearing, everyone seemed safe and happy .

"We are in an ongoing war," the Emperor sighed . "It is a war that has been going on for thousands of years already . The war is not in a hectic period right now, but we still have skirmishes from time to time with them .

"The enemy is the humans who control the Xiyang Continent . Xiyang Continent has no sovereign beasts, only humans and primordial beasts, and some of these primordial beasts have allied with the humans in an attempt at getting rid of the Sovereign Beasts .

"Although the Primordial Beasts are supposed to subservient to us Sovereign Beasts, there are many who is against this blind faith and refuse to follow us . They side with the humans to defeat us .

"We sovereign beasts do not participate in the war itself very often, but the primordial beasts are going to war all the time .

"Most of the battle is on the sea, and we need our primordial beasts mutated to gain the upper hand . "

Xue Wei nodded his head . This Xiyang Continent had to be quite close to the Demon Phoenix Continent . Otherwise, they would waste too much time on the sea .

Xue Wei was surprised to know that the Demon Phoenix Continent was at war when it was as flourishing as it was now .

But in the end, he could not help but shake his head . It had nothing to do with him . All he wanted was to get the Thunder Flame Crown and somehow find his way back to the Chang’an Continent, but he was not sure how or when this would happen .

He was not even sure where in the world he was now . He was on the Demon Phoenix Continent, but was this in the north or south? Was it in the west or east?

He had no idea where he was, and even worse, he did not know where the Chang’an continent was located . He needed Lan’s assistance, but only the gods knew when Lan was going to show up again .

Lan was an enigma . He was impossible to understand with common logic; no one knew where he was or what his plans were .

Xue Wei actually knew very little about Lan . He had encountered him many times, and the two could be considered friends of some sort, but while Lan seemed to know everything about Xue Wei, Xue Wei knew very little about Lan .

He knew he was strong . His strength was so high that he could not even imagine it, he was able to create dimensional tunnels, and he could change anything as he pleased .

Lan was, without a doubt, the strongest expert that Xue Wei had ever encountered .

After Lan came Tao Wu . And for some reason, Tao Wu was a friend of Lan . It was clear that Lan was residing within Chang’an, but he was often visiting other continents .

Xue Wei was hoping that when he got his hands on the Thunder Flame Crown, that Lan would suddenly appear .
