Because Lu Yuan was at several important places.

He saw the Nine-Colored Altar everywhere.

It's hard not to let one's mind wander.

He knew its significance was extraordinary.

In such a situation, of course, he needed to ask clearly before making any assumptions.

And obviously, Jiang Ningxian, as a member of the Jiang clan, and not in a low position, surely knew many secrets.

So he wanted to get relevant information from her, and then combine it with previous information.

Who knows, maybe at some point, he could really uncover the ultimate secret?

Beside him, Jiang Ningxian fell into a slight contemplation after hearing this.

In the end, she shook her head and then said, "Actually, there aren't many records about the Nine-Colored Altar within my clan, only that it's used for warfare. But exactly who it's fighting against is unknown. Our ancestors speculated that all of the secrets would only be answered in this world."

She came with doubts as well, as her ancestors set out, traversing the Star Realm, initially for war.

But so many years have passed, and the so-called battle never happened, so she came herself in the end.

Also wanting to explore the secrets within.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

He originally thought he could get more information, but he didn't expect this result.

Yet what puzzled him was why Shennong didn't directly pass down matters of this aspect?

Or perhaps someone deliberately erased everything?

Without continuing to think more about it.

Lu Yuan looked up and gazed ahead.

For now, the important thing was to leave the Kunlun Secret Realm first.

This distance was nothing to them; it didn't take long to get out.

Outside, everything was the same as before, people gathered at the bottom of the basin.

Some had been inside, some had not.

When they saw Lu Yuan's group.

The Awakened on Earth were unaffected and came forward actively.

The Outer Realm Creatures, however, couldn't help but retreat, not wanting to provoke this calamity before them.

After making inquiries and understanding the situation.

Lu Yuan discovered.

It had been over three months since he entered the Kunlun Secret Realm until now.

The flow of time inside was different from the outside, something he had anticipated.

"Since we're out now, you should first rest and recuperate your injuries." Lu Yuan found a relatively secluded spot and looked at the Peacock King and Nine-tailed Fox King, both of whom were injured in the previous battle with Zhou Yunqiong.

Going back wasn't urgent; it would be better to heal first, as it wouldn't take much time anyway.

"Okay." All the Beast Kings nodded, having no objections.

As for Jiang Ningxian, she seemed to have noticed something.

She actively mentioned wanting to take a look around Kunlun Mountain.

In response.

Lu Yuan offered a smile and then called out the Golden-winged Roc alone.

Having obtained the Yongzhou Tripod, he wasn't in a hurry to investigate its effects.

But having finally collected three Celestial Emperor's Ancient Orders, which had finally shown signs of change and could be utilized, naturally, he had to try them out.

To be safe, one man and one beast flew across a hundred miles, arriving at a secluded valley.

Here, exotic beasts were rare, and it was sparsely populated, meaning they wouldn't be disturbed.

"Master."

The Golden-winged Roc spoke upon realizing the time was about right.

It knew the Master had something important for it.

"You've been following me for some time now. I've said before, being my steed is also an opportunity for you. Today, I'm giving you two choices: an opportunity or freedom." Lu Yuan said, looking into the distance, calm as always.

The god-conferring decree within the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Order could confer immortality, leaving one's true name would surely hold great benefits.

This was something he had confirmed in the Kunlun Secret Realm before; now, he just needed to test it.

Among the Three Great Beast Kings or people like Jiang Ningxian.

Though they were trustworthy in Lu Yuan's heart.

They couldn't compare to the Golden-winged Roc.

Because there was a contract between them.

Simultaneously, Lu Yuan also felt the Golden-winged Roc's power was somewhat lacking.

Not that it was incapable, just that its growth period was too short.

Now, with time passing, as a grand era descends and the external changes become more intense.

The strong of each Star Realm would emerge next.

He couldn't afford to proceed step by step anymore.

"I will follow the Master's orders."

The Golden-winged Roc slightly lowered its head, for to it, Lu Yuan's command was everything.

"I understand your intentions, but you must think it through." Lu Yuan directly said.

Though there was the Blood Contract, certain matters had to be voluntary, which is why he gave two options. No matter what the other chose, he wouldn't force it.

"Following the Master is my honor. Without him, I couldn't have reached this point. Please, Master, grant me the opportunity."

At this moment, the Golden-winged Roc didn't hesitate at all, and its tone was exceedingly sincere.

For this was its truest thought.

Not mentioning Lu Yuan's own strength.

Just the benefits it gained as a steed were astounding.

The Golden-winged Roc was keenly aware that without the Master, it couldn't have refined its bloodline so quickly.

Gaining freedom was indeed appealing.

But in its heart, it would miss an opportunity to evolve to the highest form.

"Alright."

Seeing this, Lu Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.

Understanding the Roc's intention.

Then.

He directly sat down.

When the god-conferring decree emerged, he already knew how to use it—by writing down the true name.

At this moment, Lu Yuan calmed his mind and used the Innate Spirit to communicate with the decree and Celestial Emperor's Ancient Order.

Thud~

In the next instant.

A mysterious and profound sensation appeared.

He felt as if he had transformed into the Celestial Emperor above the Nine Heavens.

The god-conferring decree appeared before him, beside the words 'Di Yuan,' names could still be written.

This.

Was this what it felt like to confer immortality and deity?

Lu Yuan pondered, then without hesitation, opened his eyes.

An unprecedented aura also directly erupted from his body.

This power was too peculiar, seemingly transcending all.

At this moment.

The Golden-winged Roc before him trembled thoroughly.

Prostrated on the ground, its wings lost their luster.

It couldn't understand why a terrifying power suddenly erupted from the Master?

Let alone resisting, it couldn't even dare to look directly.

So strong.

It was suppression from the soul.

"Extract a drop of your blood essence."

Lu Yuan, seeing this, wasn't surprised, knowing this power originated from the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Order.

And what did the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Order represent? The Human Emperor and Celestial Emperor, the most powerful entity across the entire cosmos; even showcasing a trace was unbearable for ordinary beings.

"Yes, Master!"

The Golden-winged Roc responded, forcing out a drop of blood essence from within.

Lu Yuan then merged this drop into his mind.

Subsequently, using the Innate Spirit.

He began inscribing the blood on the god-conferring decree.

While simultaneously chanting: "I, Lu Yuan, in the name of the Emperor, confer the Golden-winged Roc as the Emperor's steed, inscribing the true name, announcing it to the manifold great cosmos!"
