Chapter 161: Three-legged Golden Crow, the Secret of Ancient Times
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Vroom!
It was merely a painting, but the black crow ignited the greatest pride in the world while exuding a surge of extremely terrifying power over everyone. The sight of the crow shocked them so much that they almost fell on their knees to worship the painting.
Meanwhile, there seemed to be an illusion of a massive flame engulfing the world, scorching everything in its path.
So frightening!
They jumped and hastily looked away from the painting.
The three-legged crow was strange-looking, but they could not feel even the slightest hint of Demon Spirit in it. Instead, they felt a sense of extravagance.
Gu Changqing could not help but ask, “Mr. Li… Is that a demon in the painting?”
“You don’t know it?” Li Nianfan was shocked at first. Then, he nodded. “It’s called a Three-legged Golden Crow. It can be considered as a demon.”
Three-legged Golden Crow?
Golden crow? Did that not symbolize the sun?
The crowd could not help but frown. They recalled the strange scene of Li Nianfan when he was painting. A scalp-itching guess appeared in their heads.
They could not help but slowly turn their gazes back to the painting with cautiousness.
It was not until then when they realized that behind the three-legged crow, a halo that seemed to have been nonchalantly painted with the brush was a red sun!
Indeed, a red sun!

With just a look, they could feel the red sun emitting a burning glow—extremely hot.
The Holy Emperor bit his tongue and asked, “Mr. Li, does this golden crow symbolize the…the sun?”
“Indeed, it does.” Li Nianfan nodded. “This is the son of the East Emperor—a golden crow with three legs—symbolizing the flying sun. The Emperor and his wife gave birth to ten golden crows just like this one.”
East Emperor?
Sun-crow?
And they made ten of these powerful beings?
The audience struggled to breathe as their hearts raced rapidly. They found this information impossible to imagine.
The secret of ancient times!
It must have been the secret of ancient times!
They all looked at Li Nianfan without blinking. Anyone could feel their desire to learn more.
Continue speaking, hurry!
‘As expected, the people in the Immortal Realm enjoy listening to mythology. Perhaps this has to do with their obsession and desire in becoming Immortals. If I stop now, they’ll go crazy for sure. Well, I’ll make it short,’ Li Nianfan thought to himself.
He then explained, “The ten sons were the suns. They lived outside the East sea. Originally, each of them would run up to the sky in turns to perform their duty of shining light onto the ground, and therefore, allowing people to live happily with plenty of sunlight. One day, the ten sons were feeling mischievous and ran up into the sky all at the same time.”
Li Nianfan paused and secretly stole a glance at the faces of his audience. He saw that all of them looked shocked and impressed. He felt good about it.
Qin Manyun took a deep breath and sighed in awe. “Ten sons?”
Everyone else gulped and looked up at the sun above them. It was hard to imagine how painful it would be if three suns were to appear above them.
They wanted to ask Li Nianfan to hurry and continue with his story. Luckily their last traces of rationality forced them to swallow their words. They could only wait in silence for the expert to continue.
Li Nianfan did not make them wait for too long. He continued, “The ten suns came out at the same time, burning the crops and trees, and suffocating the villagers and all living beings. Luckily, a man named Hou Yi appeared. He was a skilled bowman. He came to the East sea and climbed a high mountain to shoot down the nine suns. They all fell from the sky, one after another. Finally, only one sun was left in the sky!”

Gasp…
The crowd could feel their souls trembling. They did not dare to believe what they just heard. They came up with many different possibilities, such as someone negotiating with the sons, the Emperor bringing the sons back, or even the possibility that the sons became tired from playing and went home. The only possibility they did not come up with was that someone would shoot down the suns!
This was beyond their imaginations!
These were the suns! The high-up suns! Even by looking up at it, one would feel its immense pressure. How could they be shot down by a man? Not to mention, he shot down nine suns in a row!
How powerful was this man?!
“Alright, I’ll stop here. If I continue, the story will get too long.” Li Nianfan smiled. “It’s just a story though, so don’t treat it as reality.”
He only wanted the receivers to receive a meaningful painting. Hence, Li Nianfan told them the story to let them know what it was all about. If not, he would not have said anything.
After using a classic story to add meaning to it, this painting instantly seemed more valuable!
His audience seemed unsatisfied. Their breathing was still rapid. They were unable to calm down for a long while.
‘We’re fools if we don’t treat it as reality!’
‘This obviously isn’t just a story. It must’ve been something Mr. Li experienced. If not, how would he be able to paint this Three-legged Golden Crow?’
‘Without a doubt, that man must’ve been a bigshot during the ancient times if he could shoot down the suns!’
‘Of course, the story will be too long if it’s about ancient times. Mr. Li’s probably unwilling to continue because he doesn’t want to recall the memories of his experience. Just like us, once we recall the past, we get nostalgic.’
‘Mr. Li must’ve seen way too many things. He probably stopped feeling emotions for a long time. No wonder he wanted to pretend to be an ordinary man.’
They wanted to hear more about this ancient time, but if the expert was unwilling to continue, they would not insist. They could only stand by his side in silence.
Li Nianfan said, “This Three-legged Golden Crow can be considered as the King of the Demons. I hope you like it.”
“I like it! I like it very much! Thank you for giving this to me, Mr. Li,” Gu Changqing nodded hastily. He almost cried from the excitement. He reached out cautiously, accepting the painting with his trembling hands.
Gu Ziyao, her brother, and the three elders of the Azure Ville shivered. They felt as if their brains could crash anytime!
They were getting rich!
The Azure Ville was getting rich!
This was a painting done by the expert—a painting of the sun!
That was a priceless painting! Even the Immortals would treat this as the most precious item!
So precious!
This was beyond imagination. They could all faint from the excitement at any given time!
As for the others like the Holy Emperor, they were so envious! They wanted to glue their eyes onto the painting. Unfortunately, they had to act as if they were happy for Gu Changqing while their hearts were bleeding.
Sigh, so difficult!
Bootlicker!
Once they got home, they would work harder to improve the art of boot-licking!
Seeing that Gu Changqing was pleased, Li Nianfan smiled and nodded. “I’m glad you like it. Alright, I won’t disturb you any further. Goodbye!”
“I’ll walk you out.”
Gu Changqing walked Li Nianfan to the high tower and watched him leave with the skyship.
Li Nianfan stood on the skyship while waving at them. He could not help smiling happily.
‘They’re so polite and generous in giving gifts. How rare!’
