“You don’t have to hide it from . I know you practice the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique and you have even acquired the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Instrunt. This giant spawn has been here with for 150 years and has been nourished by the place’s formation, refined water, and various spiritual Qi throughout the years. It has enough nutrition already, only one more step is needed to hatch it! It is just that I haven’t been able to find a suitable person to do it. You possess such an extraordinary amount of Real Essence, hatching the spawn shouldn’t be a problem for you right?!” Lan Shui’er pleaded gently. “As long as you are willing to help out here, I will be responsible for sending all of you across the sea safely. Otherwise, all of you will never find a way out of Tusk Island!”
“Indeed, we do have so troubles!” Zhou Bao caressed his nose and looked helplessly at Lan Shui’er. Although he would really have liked to take control of Lan Shui’er then, he did not dare to attack soone on soone else’s land. “What do you want the spawn of the Primordial Fierce Beast for? The Primordial Fierce Beast is infamous for its viciousness. If the spawn really hatches, not only would it be unstoppable, but it would also be a catastrophe even for people of the Sea Rea right?”
It must be known that the strong strength of the Fierce Beast has been passed down for generations since the primitive tis. Although it had been hundreds of thousands of years since it had made its first appearance, legends of its sheer ferocity and strength have been circulating until the present.
When Zhou Bao was young, he killed a young Primitive Dragon Chira and obtained its Mysterious Fire. The Primitive Dragon Chira was one of the Primordial Fierce Beasts that fed on dragons. The one Zhou Bao killed was not just a newborn, but one that was malnourished. It was about to die from hunger and that was why lucky Zhou Bao could attack it so easily.
Its Mysterious Fire fused well with Zhou Bao’s Internal Qi. With the infusion of Real Essence, Zhou Bao’s strength increased gradually. When Zhou Bao only had Internal Qi, the Scale Monster’s Mysterious Fire shaped the Internal Qi such that its quality beca level with and even exceeding that of Real Essence. Now that Zhou Bao had refined the Real Essence Source, his Internal Qi had all transford into Real Essence. This Real Essence, under the influence of the Scale Monster’s Mysterious Fire, had a higher quality than the average Dharma power. It was an addition to his Internal Qi. Plus, the Mysterious Fire was slowly nourishing and transforming Zhou Bao, allowing him to have a stronger physique and a stronger Spiritual Strength. It could be said that a major reason why Zhou Bao’s practice journey had been so smooth was that the Scale Monster’s Mysterious Fire had built a solid foundation for him.
And now, after practicing the 3000 Great Ways’ Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique, he could feel the Dragon Chira Fire was about to evolve again. If the evolvent was successful, the power of the Dragon Chira Fire’s Demonic Fire would be stronger. Then, it would be more helpful to him, and it was even possible that he could cultivate so Divine Senses of the Primitive Dragon Chira.
What about the Primordial Fierce Beast’s spawn in front of him? Which Fierce Beast left it behind? What effects could it have?
Zhou Bao was very intrigued, but also pretty worried.
His encounter with a young Primitive Dragon Chira was out of sheer luck. It must be known that the Dragon Chira’s growth was mainly based on a diet of dragons. During primitive tis, all the Dragon Chiras lived on dragon at and dragon blood. The strong Dragon Chiras would prey on Heavenly Dragons and insert its own spawn into the body of Heavenly Dragons. Once the Dragon Chira was born, it would then have enough food and fluids to grow robustly. It would not be like Zhou Bao’s catch- one who drank water, ate grass and whose Mysterious Fire was almost turning into a kindling.
How could that Dragon Chira have any power?
But the giant egg of a Primordial Fierce Beast in front of him was different. It had been nourished by Lan Shui’er for 150 years—who knows how strong it would be? So legends said that so Primordial Fierce Beasts, after being delivered, would possess the strength as powerful as that of a Nine-tribulation True Immortal and even that of a Human Immortal. It was not sothing that ordinary evil beasts and humans could match.
Take the Primitive Dragon Chira for example. If it could develop peacefully within the body of a Heavenly Dragon, it would possess the powers of a Nine-tribulation True Immortal once it was born. After a few hundred years, it would surpass the powers of a Nine-tribulation True Immortal and reach the level of a Human Immortal. And that was utterly incomparable to the practice of any human being.
But the Primordial Fierce Beast had one weakness, and that was the difficulty of transformation.
These animals were born strong, but to transform into humans would be hundreds of tis harder than an average evil beast. Of course, these Primordial Fierce Beasts had no interest in transforming into humans.
If a Primordial Fierce Beast at a Nine-tribulation True Immortal level were to be born, who would be able to control it? Did Lan Shui’er ever consider this?
“Don’t worry. In the past 150 years, it has been here, we have been able to develop telepathy. He also understands human nature. It is just that there is no way for it to hatch now, which is why I am asking for your help!”
“The Sea Area is vast. I guess the number of Demonic Immortals who practice fire-property Dharma power should not be small, right?”
“Not many!” Lan Shui’er shook her head, “Demonic Immortals who truly practice the Fire Power are rare. This is the Sea Area. Even if there are underwater volcanoes, the Spiritual Energy of Fire will still be incomparable with the Spiritual Energy of water. Once one practices the Spiritual Energy of Fire, it will be hard for him to leave the place where he practices. Plus, I don’t want a lot of people to know about this!”
Zhou Bao finally understood the whole situation and found himself being foolish.
This place was the Sea Area. The rich Water-property Essential Qi pervaded in the atmosphere here. It could be said that in the boundless Sea Area, the Water-property Essential Qi had the advantage of suppressing all other powers. Who would be silly enough to practice Fire-property Essential Qi, which is in direct opposition to Water-property Essential Qi, in this place? That would be the most useless approach. Unless it was so fella who had physical restrictions, 99% of the people who practiced here would practice with Water-property Essential Qi.
To find soone who practiced with the Spiritual Energy of Fire in the vast Sea Area and a Demonic Immortal with a certain level of practice already would be a tough task.
No wonder once Zhou Bao displayed his strong Fire-property Real Essence, he was imdiately invited to see Lan Shui’er on her island.
“So that is to say, Island Owner is set on hatching this spawn of a Primordial Fierce Beast?”
“Of course!”
“Do you think I will help Island Owner hatch this egg here at ease?” Zhou Bao smiled wryly. “I would rather you kill everyone on the Void Traveller than do such a thankless job. If my Real Essence depletes because I have to hatch this spawn and Island Owner murders in order to keep it a secret, then I’ll die a brutal death, won’t I?”
Now that he had said things like this, Zhou Bao had nothing more to conceal. He spoke his concerns straightforwardly, “To be honest, I don’t trust you, Island Owner!”
“I am a Four-Tribulation Genuine Immortal. Once I swear, it will be bounded by the Law of Heaven and Earth. Swearing would do the job!”
“Ok then Island Owner, please make a vow now!” This was not a ti to be polite. Lan Shui’er swore in front of Zhou Bao. Zhou Bao scrutinized her vow. As he found no loopholes, he was finally at ease.
Anyway, she already said that she had established telepathy with the Fierce Beast. There should not be much of a problem.
Hence, after Lan Shui’er swore, Zhou Bao no longer beat around the bush. He launched the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique. As his Gang Qi was flowing, the Primordial Yang Qi caused turbulence in the air. The air in the stone chamber began to swirl and converge. With a wave of Zhou Bao’s hand, a golden light began circulating and converged into the Nine Heavens Primordial Instrunt. It was fired towards the egg and suspended over the egg. In a mont, the surrounding pneuma all converged to the Nine Heavens Primordial Instrunt. In a blink of an eye, the pneuma was transford into warm Yang Qi by the Nine Heavens Primordial Instrunt, shrouding the entire egg.
Ping ping ping!
Under the huge Primordial Yang Qi that enveloped the egg, the giant egg shook gently for a mont. There was a faint cooing sound, as if it was expressing its happiness. Soon after, Zhou Bao heard thumpings of heartbeats.
The sound was so loud, so audible. It was filled with vigor.
A smile finally flashed across Lan Shui’er’s face. This was the first ti Zhou Bao saw her smile. It was a hearty smile, an extrely pleasing smile.
But now, he had no energy to care about the Island Owner’s smile. He focused his whole mind on operating the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Instrunt, because the giant egg was starting to voraciously absorb the Yang Qi released by the Nine Heavens Primordial Instrunt.
No, ‘absorb’ was not the right word. It should be ‘devouring’.
Yes, the giant egg was devouring the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Qi.
Gradually, Zhou Bao started to feel a bit odd.
Because the Mysterious Fire in his Dantian started to flicker vigorously again.
This ti, it was flickering much more vigorously than when he first entered the stone chamber, as if it was warning him of sothing. Yes, it seed like a warning. It was an instinct of imminent danger.
For soone with Zhou Bao’s level of cultivation, he could sense danger whenever it was impending. It was just that this sense was not ripe and was extrely weak. It worked at tis but failed at other tis. In other words, it did not an that one was not in danger if one could not feel danger. But once one could sense danger, then there definitely was danger present.
Even now, Zhou Bao could be sure that the danger originated from the giant egg of the Primordial Fierce Beast.
Zhou Bao beca vigilant. He wanted to control the Nine heavens Primordial Instrunt and slow down the hatching of the egg. But at this mont, an anomalous mutation suddenly occurred. A gust of strong absorption struck through the Nine Heavens Primordial Instrunt and started engulfing his Real Essence.
“Not good!” He was shocked. His nine acupoints simultaneously went into operation. The strong Inside Breath Real Essence was activated by Zhou Bao in an attempt to resist and even cut off the egg’s absorption power.
But all efforts were in vain. Once the absorption power from the egg was ford, he could no longer resist it. It was like an invisible line connecting Zhou Bao’s Internal Qi and the giant egg. Unless Zhou Bao exhausted his Internal Qi, he would not be able to escape.
Fierce flas that surged to the sky burst from the giant egg. This was not the sa weak feeling that Zhou Bao initially sensed. It was a fierce and monstrous one that even enveloped the entire stone chamber.
“This…!” At this mont, even Lan Shui’er’s expression changed. All the while, she had never realized that the 150-year-old spawn of a Primordial Beast that she was cultivating could be so fierce that even the formation in the stone chamber was not able to resist and lock it in anymore. In fact, it was beginning to tremble slightly.
“Damn it, what are you waiting for? Hurry! Think a solution to destroy this egg! If not, he would absorb till I’m dry and the next target would be you!”
