<b>Chapter 314: Gathering The Four Divine Beasts (2)</b>


    Shen Jingbin had never liked fluffy creatures before, but this baby Vermillion Bird was so adorable that she couldn’t help but step forward and carefully pick it up with both hands.


    As soon as she touched the baby Vermillion Bird, several system notifications and announcements popped up.


    "Congrattions, you’ve received the baby Vermillion Bird."


    "Congrattions, you’ve sessfully gathered the Divine Beasts, White Tiger, ck Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird. You’ve met the requirement to summon the Divine Beast, Azure Dragon. Do you wish to summon the Azure Dragon? Yes/No."


    "Summoning Azure Dragon... Attention: Since the Azure Dragon is a Divine Beast, summoning it will take longer. Please be patient."


    "Sessfully summoned the Azure Dragon. Congrattions, you’ve received the Divine Beast, Azure Dragon."


    "Congrattions, you’ve gathered the four Divine Beasts. You’ve received the Divine Beast Halo."


    [System Announcement] These are turbulent times, and the world is experiencing great change. yer Nutjob has sessfully gathered the Divine Beasts, White Tiger, ck Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird. The legendary Divine Beast, Azure Dragon will now appear.


    [System Announcement] yer Nutjob has sessfully summoned the Divine Beast, Azure Dragon, and gathered all four Divine Beasts.


    [System Announcement] All four Divine Beasts have descended. The war between good and evil has now entered its next chapter – The Chaotic War. All yers in the Shinra Sect have received the Infection skill. This skill allows them to infect any yer other than the Lead Disciples of the Six Great Sects and convert them over to the Shinra Sect’s side. This skill will be avable till the maximum number of yers in the Shinra Sect has been reached.


    [System Announcement] In view of the beginning of The Chaotic War, the Sect Leader of the Shinra Sect, Jue Tian, has made an appearance once again. What is he nning? What’s his goal? Will the world be saved? All these questions remain unanswered. Young heroes, please pay close attention to the changes around you, for you might be the one who ends up rewriting the ending to this story.


    Regardless of how excited the rest of the yers in the game had be due to the appearance of these announcements, all six of the Lead Disciples in Virtuous Heaven Temple had fallen into a stupor. When the system notification informing everyone that Shen Jingbin had sessfully summoned the Azure Dragon appeared, the entirety of Virtuous Heaven Temple was surrounded by a faint cyan light. Everyone within it felt an indescribable feeling of warmth andfort that rose from their feet to their heads.


    While they were immersed in this feeling offort, something surrounded by a ball of light fell from the sky, and gradually descended into Virtuous Heaven Temple’s courtyard.


    The party of six came to their senses and ran out to have a look, while Xu Sheng and the Vermillion Bird exchanged nces with one another before following suit.


    "Youngdy, were you the one who awakened me?" Asked a gentle voice worn by the vicissitudes of time from within the light.


    "Yes," Shen Jingbin answered.


    "How long has it been? I can’t even remember. I thought that was it for me and that I was never going to be summoned again," Said the voice with a sigh. "Let the White Tiger, ck Tortoise and Vermillion Bird out."


    Without asking any questions, Shen Jingbin ced the little Vermillion Bird in her hands in front of the light and released Mascot and the little ck Tortoise from her pet inventory.


    The light immediately split into three beams and enveloped each of the three Divine Beasts.


    "Mascot has been bathed in the Azure Dragon’s auspicious light, and has reached its maximum level."


    "The ck Tortoise has been bathed in the Azure Dragon’s auspicious light, and has reached its maximum level."


    "The Vermillion Bird has been bathed in the Azure Dragon’s auspicious light, and has reached its maximum level."


    Three chimes rang out as she received a system notification for each of them. Shen Jingbin hurriedly looked over at the three Divine Beasts on the ground.


    Mascot had regained its original appearance. There weren’t many changes apart from the stripes on its body that were visiblyrger, its body bing much bigger than it was in the past, and it’s wings growing to twice its original size. The most notable change was the air about it. In the past, it had looked a little silly, but now it possessed the awe-inspiring presence of the king of the forest.


    Compared to Mascot, the little ck Tortoise and baby Vermillion Bird saw considerable changes to their bodies. The ck Tortoise grew many timesrger, and its shell turned golden. The winged snake pattern on its shell disappeared and was reced by several vast and terrifying winged snakes that now upied the top of the ck Tortoise’s shell and were making threatening gestures. The Vermillion Bird had grown from a fluffy chick to an enormous zing bird. It looked simr to the Demonic Vermillion Bird, but it was wreathed in a faintyer of mes. With its long slender neck, it looked like it was brimming with vigor.


    "The fate of the world has fallen into chaos, and leveling them up isn’t an easy task. Allow me to help you." That light gently said. "Come closer, young woman."


    Shen Jingbin nced at herpanions and stepped forward till her little t nose almost came in contact with the light.


    "Stretch out your hand."


    Shen Jingbin did as instructed. When her hand touched the light, she immediately felt a warm andfortable sensation. She stretched further and felt something cool, somewhat hard, and a little ufortable to the touch.


    "Can you feel it? I’m within this sacred light. Try to imagine my appearance and lead me out."


    Shen Jingbin closed her eyes, imagining the character of an Azure Dragon that she’d seen on TV shows and in books... While imagining, she felt something moving onto her hand.


    She grabbed onto the object and pulled it towards herself. With a ’bang’, the light dispersed, and the Azure Dragon’s majestic form towered above her, while the pointed end of its tail was quietly curled up in her palm.


    "Wow~" The Winds Of Ximen couldn’t help but exim.


    Feeling the tail in her hands move slightly, Shen Jingbin loosened her grip and took a step backwards, and the Azure Dragon immediately shot to the sky. A few secondster, a ’bang’ could be heard, and it came speeding towards the ground. The instant itnded, there was a sh of light, and the Azure Dragon’s awe-inspiring form suddenly disappeared. In its ce was an outstanding man of talent who had a domineering air about him and was dressed in ck.


    The Vermillion Bird suddenly spoke up. "It’s been awhile, Azure Dragon," He said as he slowly walked over to the man in ck.


    The man in ck stood with his hands behind him and gave a slight nod to the Vermillion Bird. "Yes, it has been awhile. Back then, the White Tiger and ck Tortoise falling into a deep sleep caused you to lose much of your strength and shorten your lifespan. It almost resulted in a disaster, and I’m thankful for being able to see you once again."


    The Vermillion Bird gave an enchanting smile. "It’s all thanks to these youths; otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing here. If it’s them, I can rest easy leaving the task of saving the world in their hands."


    The Azure Dragon calmly nced at Shen Jingbin andpany before stepping past the Vermillion Bird anding to a stop before Shen Jingbin. Under everyone’s astonished gazes, he slowly knelt on one knee.


    "I, the Azure Dragon, would like to take you as my Master and aid you in saving the world. Will you ept my oath of loyalty?"


    Shen Jingbin’s eyes faintly shone.


    "I ept."
