<h4>Chapter 1684: A Dead Heart; New Life</h4>


    “It is truly the world’s most valuable treasure!” Fang Wudi was overjoyed,ughing wildly.


    “I never thought that I have been having such a treasure for so many years!


    “Well... What belongs to me will finally be mine! Nobody can take away what is mine! I am a blessed man!


    “There will be one more king in the Human Realm Upon Heavens! Me! Fang Wudi!”


    He stared at the bird in his hand. His eyes looked crazy.


    The bird didn’t move and just stared at the man nkly.


    It felt like the man was a total stranger.


    ‘Is this really my master?’


    ‘My master always treats me so well... My master is always caring... Is this him?’


    “Why do you stare at me like this?” Fang Wudi felt bad after being stared for a long time. He suddenly got angry and said, “You bastard! You have been lying to me for all these years! I should have be the world’s only king if you have told me earlier! I wouldn’t be defeated by that young man, would I?”


    The bird didn’t make a sound and just stared at the man quietly.


    Fang Wudi was furious. He raised the bird and wanted to hit it on the floor, but changed his mind in the end. He said in a low voice, “I have kept you for so many years. Can you at least tell me what you really are? Where are you from?”


    The bird didn’t make a sound.


    “Don’t look at me like that! I know you are listening!” Fang Wudi raged up.


    “Don’t pretend to be innocent! You are a medicinal nt! Do you understand what you are?” Fang Wudi angrily said, “Do you know what can you do? You are born to be eaten! A medicinal nt! Do you understand? You are not a real bird! Understand?”


    The bird’s nk eyes became cold and indifferent.


    It was strange.


    It was apathy!


    The bird was full of apathy as if the man was a total stranger.


    It stopped looking at Fang Wudi. It looked away and stared at the white ginseng that it brought back for the man.


    It looked so sad.


    ‘Is every human being like this?’


    ‘No matter how long we have lived together... No matter how loyal and nice I am to him... Even when I am willing to hurt myself to help him... He will always eat me when he realizes what I am...’


    ‘Nothing else matters to him...’


    ‘I am always the bird, but he is no longer my master!’


    “Tell me!” Fang Wudi fiercely grabbed the bird in the hand, raised up, and stared at the bird’s eyes. “Look at me! Tell me! What are you? Where are you from? Where did you grow?”


    His face looked ugly, and he had gone crazy.


    He knew that this was his opportunity to reach the top of the world!


    The bird in front of him had be a living creature, but the efficacy of it as a medicinal nt was extremely powerful. It was much more valuable than the bird.


    How to use such a valuable nt to get the most benefits from it? Fang Wudi had read a lot of books, but everything he got about such a treasure was ridiculous and fake.


    However, he wasn’t sure if those absurd stories were fake!


    He was holding something unbelievable in his hands right now, wasn’t he?


    Perhaps, there were a lot of such nts in the world, but they became extremely rare for some reason. That was why the stories about such nts were so difficult to believe!


    Fang Wudi studied a lot and eventually had a conclusion. He must make the nt return to its true appearance and put it into a cauldron to boil it. He must use the fire of the internal energy, and boil the nt into liquid form. That was the only way to get the most energy from the nt.


    There was a better way though—to make it into dan beads. However, Fang Wudi knew nothing about dan-making.


    In fact, not to mention Fang Wudi, even the best dan makers in the Human Realm Upon Heavens couldn’t sessfully make such a spiritual medicinal nt into dan beads. After the disaster in history, there were no more supreme-level dan makers in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Only supreme-level dan makers had the power to make such incredible dan beads. Sightless attempts would only waste such great material.


    Fang Wudi only needed to understand what the bird truly was and where it grew. He needed to get the nt and boil it into liquid. That was enough.


    The bird lied on the floor. It hadpletely lost hope. After Fang Wudi shouting for a while, the bird suddenly stood up and chirped.


    It was angry. It was furious. Its eyes were full of hate.


    It didn’t beg for mercy, because it wouldn’t help!


    It only kept shouting abusive words!


    Fang Wudi was angry!


    “This is wrong! You actually abused me! I have raised you for so many years. All I want is just to eat you! So what?” Fang Wudi angrily said, “If not for you, would I be damaged like this? It is reasonable that I want to eat you to recover myself! You are exposed! If I don’t eat you, somebody will! The One Meter Higher Sky told me what you were! He knows! Do you think he will let you go? Come one! Give it to me, and I will kill the man and his two pets to avenge you! How about that?”


    The bird disdainfully stared at him and then turned over its head. Tears came out of its eyes.


    It was so sad.


    “Tear of Soul? That is actually Tear of Soul?” Fang Wudi was so happy. Heughed so loudly and swallowed the two drops of tears. He felt warm, and the pain on his shoulder was eased.


    “Do you have more? Come on! Keep crying! Why do you stop?” Fang Wudi wanted to get more. It held the bird and kept pulling off its feathers. The bird was shaking because of the pain, but it became silent again. There was no tear in its eyes anymore.


    “You are just a spiritual nt in an animal’s form... Are you actually this tough? Can you really tolerate this? Fine! You should tell me where you came from...”


    Fang Wudi kept tormenting the bird. “Come on! Say it! Where are you from? Cry out! Give me your tears!”


    The bird was nk, indifferent, hateful, painful, and desperate... It was dying...


    It didn’t make a sound!


    Fang Wudi viciously smirked and said, “You won’t say anything, will you? Fine. I will eat you now! You want to keep a secret from me, huh? Fine! It is not going to be easy! I am going to eat you anyway! I can still return to my prime status, and even reached the Immortality Stage! I am at least still the man I used to be!”


    He grabbed the bird and wanted to chew it.


    At this moment, something happened.


    With a white sh of light, something moved over Fang Wudi’s head at an incredible speed!
