It was hard. That was Yang Lujia's first thought when he heard about what kind of test he would undergo with the Vermillion Bird.

"Your father was the one who created this test for you. Mine was a bit simpler, although the difficulty was very high; it was nowhere near to your father's. Your father has already transcended and is already very strong. Even my real body or Old Red's wouldn't be a match against him."

They were beasts who were not called 'divine' for nothing. They were called as such because they originated from the beginning or construction of the universe, of the world. They had superior bloodlines. In the ecosystem where humans are an exception, they were at the top of their league. They would only hunt and could not be hunted down.

Only—that was proven wrong when they were subdued by Yang Jinhai's talent. It was incredible that they felt it ridiculous for someone like him to exist. However, the Vermillion Bird and others soon knew of the reason. Old Black told them it wasn't that they were born in ancient times—Yang Jinhai and Yang Lujia's family were just way above them—and the most ridiculous was—their family's heritage was born even before them, the five divine beasts came into existence.

They were shocked. However, they felt it was normal and did not dwell on it too much. They were very convinced of Yang Jinhai's strength. Betraying him would only amount to death. Although they could respawn endlessly as they could be born again from the world's rules, they did not want their lives to be in vain or they never wanted to die yet.

On the other hand, Yang Lujia was taken aback by the test he would take in the Vermillion Bird's Territory.

Three tests would take place consecutively and he would not be allowed to rest until he could complete all of them—just like what happened in the White Tiger's territory.

Her first test involved the use of the rules of life. If it was only for healing or anything related to such, Yang Lujia might be able to pull it off. However, this first test was different. Indeed, using the rules of life and having high attainment of such could be said that you would certainly pass the test. However, they were not a guarantee that they really would.

Yang Lujia did not know, but his father had the strongest flame that could destroy or heal, even stronger than what the Vermillion Bird possessed. It only lacked the power to create. If his flames could do that, then it could only mean absolute strength—and the only people who could suppress would be those people who were at the top of the food chain—so to say.

For example, those people whose souls were stronger than normal ones. There were also others like them and were even on par with these people.

The first test of the Vermillion Bird was concerned with…

Reviving the dead!

Yang Lujia was shocked. He could not even revive the dead before. He could only turn back time to undo what had happened to the person who had died. It could be said to be against the natural law—and that was basically the meaning of why people cultivated—to go against the conventional—the natural law.

The natural law stated that a life that was dead would remain dead. That life might have a chance of reincarnation, regression, or transmigration, but that didn't mean they could remember their past life.

However, cultivators, having reached the peak of their cultivators could already do what the natural law had long inherently forbidden.

"Reviving the dead?" Yang Lujia was surprised. "How could I revive the dead with the mere life rules I comprehended? Can I use the power of time instead?"

"No… it is for sure that the rules of time had something to do with reviving the dead. However, that wasn't the case for using the rules of life at its peak or almost at its peak. I also think it's impossible to do it, but the master, Your Highness, your father, insisted on doing this. I don't know what he's up to, but he keeps on saying to me that this test will certainly be beneficial to you," the Vermillion Bird said as it flapped its wings above its own territory.

Yang Lujia drove on its back and looked at the floating Red Qilin who had the White Tiger sleeping on its back. "Shall I start the test now? It could take time if I delay any longer. No matter the result, 'he' won't blame me, right?"

The Red Qilin revealed a strange grin while the Vermillion Bird screeched. If Yang Lujia knew how much his father cared for him, this ever-nonchalant boy would certainly soften his expression. All this time, what they could only see on Yang Lujia's face was indifference, even when he was surprised, and the confident aura around him.

"Your Highness, you must know that this is the test of your father. You don't have to feel pressured. However, His Highness should do his beest. After all… like what Old Red said to you, I suppose he had already said it…"

"What is it?"

"That your father left something behind… and that something could only be accessed if you passed all of our tests. Things could get rough, Your Highness. However, Your Highness should not worry about time as the time inside our territories was vastly different from the outside. It may take you decades inside, but it would only be an hour or two on the outside. His Highness, your father, had set this himself."

The Red Qilin nodded its head and said, "I also personally saw how he swiftly and easily controlled the rules of time. There were also other rules that he controlled. However, probably only Old Black knew of them. We were much lacking in terms of knowledge when it came to that old tortoise."

"I see," Yang Lujia replied as he clenched his fist.
