Chapter 220 You guys aren't even going to put on an act anymore?
"What? He actually wants to give the Vermilion Bird position to the Crimson Butterfly?"
"Has this guy gone mad? That's the title Vermilion Bird!"
"Wait a minute, didn't he just receive the Vermilion Bird title? Why is he going to abdicate so soon? Are you kidding me?"
"Damn it, this person discards what we treasure like trash..."
"Even if we're going to abdicate, it shouldn't be to this Red Butterfly. She's only at the Nascent Soul stage; what merit does she possess?"
"Shh~, keep your voice down, we're cultivation partners..."
"Sigh~, a sixth-level cultivation star being governed by a Nascent Soul cultivator, if word gets out, won't people laugh at us Vermilion Bird Star cultivators?"
Zhu Chen's move to step down immediately caused an uproar.
No one expected that he would give up the Vermilion Bird title that he had just obtained.
Moreover, it was given to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even Mo Zhi was taken aback by Zhu Chen's action.
The title "Vermilion Bird" meant nothing to him.
But for those who have just begun their training, this is an absolute honor and status.
Having this title means that he can become the ruler of this sixth-level cultivation star and be revered by hundreds of millions of people.
However, he never expected this.
There are actually people in this world who would voluntarily give up this title.
If you take over something and then hand it over to someone else in less than half a day, what's the difference between that and giving it up voluntarily?
"Nonsense! What do you think this title, Vermilion Bird, is? You think you can just say you don't want it?"
Mo Zhi looked at Zhu Chen with a heavy expression, a hint of disappointment in his voice.
In this Kunxu Starfield, the titles bestowed upon each cultivation star by the Cultivation Alliance are a legacy.
Zhu Chen treated this so lightly; wasn't this a blatant disregard for the legacy of their Cultivation Alliance?
It's a shame he was so optimistic about it just now.
"Fellow Daoist Mo, don't try to fool me. When I was receiving the inheritance, Ye Wuyou told me that the succession of the Vermilion Birds is always determined by the previous generation's chosen successor. Now I am the fifteenth generation Vermilion Bird on this Vermilion Bird Star, so I think I should have the right to choose the next successor, right?"
Zhu Chen walked to Hong Die's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. He then turned to look at Mo Zhi and said, "Hong Die has reached the Nascent Soul stage in a hundred years and possesses the innate spirit of the Five Elements. Her talent is absolutely rare in the world. Although her current cultivation is only at the Nascent Soul stage, she will definitely not stop there in the future. It is not inappropriate for me to pass on the title of Vermilion Bird to her."
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Lin, who was standing to the side: "Wang Lin, do you think Hongdie is qualified to be the sixteenth generation of Zhuquezi?"
Wang Lin nodded affirmatively: "As the most talented person in the past ten thousand years of the Vermilion Bird Star, Fellow Daoist Hongdie has cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage in just one hundred years. Her cultivation speed and strength are beyond my ability. She is absolutely qualified to be the sixteenth generation Vermilion Bird Child of the Vermilion Bird Star."
Everyone looked at each other.
Seeing Zhu Chen and Wang Lin working together so well, everyone else couldn't help but twitch their lips.
If they weren't wary of Zhu Chen and Wang Lin, they would have loved to exchange a few words with them.
That's utterly shameless.
You two were originally brothers.
Such proof is completely unconvincing.
They're treating them like three-year-olds!
In the chat group—
[Xiao Yan: Holy crap, bro, those cultivators aren't stupid. Do you think they'll believe you two for putting on this act?]
Xiao Yan was also stunned at this moment.
Zhu Chen and Wang Lin's identities had already been exposed to the public.
Now all the cultivators here know that the two of them are brothers.
Zhu Chen is now actually asking Wang Lin to verify whether Hong Die is qualified to be the sixteenth generation of Zhu Quezi.
Is this a case of not even planning to act anymore?
[Zhu Chen: Whether those people believe it or not doesn't matter, I just need Mo Zhi's attitude.]
[Xiao Yan: Why?]
[Zhu Chen: He is an envoy of the Cultivation Alliance and can decide everything on Vermilion Bird Star. However, he has high hopes for Wang Lin and even intends to help him ascend to the position of Vermilion Bird Prince. Now that Wang Lin has acknowledged Red Butterfly, he should give him some face as well...]
Zhu Chen shared his thoughts in the group chat.
Xiao Yan suddenly realized what was going on.
[Xiao Yan: So that's how it is. So, Second Brother, you already knew what Eldest Brother was thinking?]
Wang Lin: Hmm.
Wang Lin simply replied with one word in the group chat.
He admitted that he and Zhu Chen were just putting on an act, but what he said earlier was not a lie.
Red Butterfly is exceptionally talented and is indeed qualified to sit in the position of the sixteenth generation of Vermilion Bird.
……
"You're right. The succession of the Vermilion Birds has always been determined by the previous generation's chosen successor, and this Red Butterfly is indeed qualified to become a titled Vermilion Bird. Since you insist on this, then I, Mo, will not force you..."
Mo Zhi sighed heavily.
With his experience, he naturally saw through Zhu Chen and Wang Lin's tricks at a glance.
His original intention was indeed to hand over the position of Zhu Quezi to Wang Lin.
But Wang Lin's words just now were already a different kind of rejection for him.
There aren't many good candidates left for the Vermilion Bird Star.
Qianfeng, Liumei, and Zixin are all dead.
Yun Quezi is also a member of the Immortal Remnant Clan.
Currently, there are only two people who are most qualified to sit in the position of the title Vermilion Bird.
One of them is Zhou Wutai, who possesses the bloodline of the Azure Dragon.
One is the Red Butterfly, whose cultivation talent is one in ten thousand years!
Although the former has the Azure Dragon protecting the country as his support, his aptitude is not considered superior, and his cultivation is even lower than that of the Red Butterfly. Therefore, it would be even less acceptable for him to be the Vermilion Bird Child.
On the other hand, not only is the Red Butterfly exceptionally talented, but she also has a close relationship with that mysterious young man.
For whatever reason, she was more suitable to be the position of Zhu Quezi than Zhou Wutai.
"Red Butterfly, now it's up to you to choose. If you're willing, I can give you the Vermilion Bird Seal right now..."
Zhu Chen raised his hand, revealing the Vermilion Bird Seal, and handed it to Hong Die.
"I……"
Red Butterfly was flattered.
Looking at the Vermilion Bird Seal that Zhu Chen handed her, she was momentarily at a loss.
Like other cultivators, she originally only wanted to come in to find her own life soul.
She had never even considered the position of Vermilion Bird.
Because she knew very well that this position would eventually be taken by those Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
But who could have imagined that, with Zhu Chen's secret assistance, he would actually become qualified to become Zhu Quezi?
"I do!"
After calming herself down, Hongdie took a deep breath and decisively took the Vermilion Bird Seal from Zhu Chen's hand.
She also thanked Zhu Chen.
"Red Butterfly, I have a gift for you. When you receive the Vermilion Bird Seal, you must carefully comprehend it..."
Zhu Chen transmitted his voice to Hong Die, then reached out and touched her brow, directly channeling the Star Cultivation Heart into Hong Die's body.
"--boom!"
In an instant.
The three Vermilion Birds, engulfed in raging flames, suddenly appeared around Red Butterfly and began to fly rapidly around her.
This is the succession ceremony of the Vermilion Bird lineage!
After being baptized by the Vermilion Bird Seal, Red Butterfly will become the sixteenth generation Vermilion Bird Child on this Vermilion Bird Star!
Moreover, he is the only one who obtained the "Original True Explanation" through the inheritance method!
