Can Other Birds Do It?

The fabled secret realm suddenly appeared in the world. Every sect sent people to investigate and seek the legendary supreme treasure.

But no one expected that everyone who entered would fail the trial.

The secret realm closed, and none of them ever returned.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. The once brilliant prodigy had become a cripple.

One day, the secret realm opened once more, and Qin Sheng was thrown inside as a criminal.

--

Qin Sheng never imagined that a hundred years ago, simply helping someone along the way would somehow wipe out all his cultivation in an instant. Becoming a cripple was bad enough, but his master, senior brothers, and elders still doted on him.

The only downside was that every night, for no apparent reason, he had strange dreams. He dreamed he had become a bird and was teaming up with a handsome man to clear stages, with the man slaughtering everything in their path while he went "caw, caw."

The handsome man did the killing. He did the cawing.

Life was pretty pleasant.

But one day, everything suddenly went haywire. He was accused of murder, the evidence was conclusive, and there was no way to clear his name. His master personally threw him into the secret realm, which opened once every hundred years.

The moment Qin Sheng entered the realm, he froze.

Wasn't this the place from his nightly dreams?

Then could that handsome man also be...

Gu Bujue's bird egg suddenly hatched. The egg that had been with him for nearly a hundred years suddenly cracked open, and a wind bird emerged.

But Gu Bujue was secretive about it. He never let the bird appear in front of others, and only caught glimpses of it at night.

With the bird by his side, he talked more, ate more, and even cleared stages much faster.

Just as everyone realized they were close to reaching the end, the realm's gates suddenly opened, and Gu Bujue's bird disappeared...

Now that they were finally close to clearing the realm, everyone had their eyes on the manuals and treasures at the final stage. They could only urge Gu Bujue to hurry up, before things took an unexpected turn.

However,

Gu Bujue suddenly announced, "The run is on hold. I'm going to find my bird."

Everyone: "..."

--

When Qin Sheng saw Gu Bujue again, he was overjoyed and rushed forward, ready to claim their connection. But then he suddenly heard Gu Bujue say, "I'm done. My bird is gone."

Qin Sheng: "..."

Should he still claim to be related to him?

Was he supposed to rush over and say, "Your bird is still here. I'm your bird..."?

Qin Sheng quickly shook his head. He had made up his mind!

He would protect the secret of the bird to the death!
