The following day.
This was Xue Jing's seventh day entering the Intersecting Boundaries.
Early in the morning, Xue Jing awoke from his slumber as the sky was already fully lit.
He had slept directly on the ground with the sky as his blanket.
As soon as he woke up, he performed a carp flip from the ground, shook his whole body vigorously, scattering the morning dew that clung to him, instantly feeling dry and comfortable again.
He looked to his side, where the body of the True Dragon that had lain beside him had now vanished; in its place remained an egg slightly larger than a basketball.
The outer shell of the egg resembled the black bark of a tree, just like the pattern of the True Dragon's scales.
Xue Jing stretched out his left hand and picked up the egg.
Heavier than its appearance suggested, the egg must have weighed over twenty kilograms, which was quite heavy for something the size of a basketball.
He waved his hand to the side, signaling the Shadow Flame crow to fly toward him with the backpack, and he placed the egg inside the pack.
"Shall we leave the Intersecting Boundaries now? The exit should be where you first came in," Mirror Person said, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
Xue Jing shook his head, "No rush, we still need to deliver this egg to Renea, and take care of some other matters."

Lightning Dragon Horns appeared atop his head, and a silver-white Thunder Feather Belt wrapped around him, flickering incessantly.
Xue Jing levitated off the ground, shot up into the sky reaching heights of several hundred meters, then quickly flew in the direction of the nation beyond.
The Shadow Flame crow flapped its wings, struggling to keep pace beside him.
Above the high altitudes, the boundless view filled his vision, the vast expanse making Xue Jing feel exceptionally carefree and comfortable.
Having only recently gained the ability to fly, he still possessed enough novelty and satisfaction from the experience, feeling quite joyful.
About fifteen minutes later, when Xue Jing, who was nearing the nation beyond, suddenly saw several people engaged in battle with a Vomitus Beast on the grassland below.
If it had been just that, it wouldn't have caught Xue Jing's attention, but those people were wearing the same style of Tactical Suits he recognized, identical to the one he wore.
"Oh? The White Crow sent people in after the blending of reflection and reality was lifted?"
Seeing this, Xue Jing immediately dove toward the ground.
"Boom——!!"
Before the people entangled with the Vomitus Beast could react, a figure plummeted like a meteor, crashing onto the Vomitus Beast before them and stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Everyone, be careful, retreat!"
All were startled by this sudden occurrence, and they quickly retreated to a safer distance, on high alert.
When the dust settled, the group was astonished to see the Vomitus Beast flattened into a pancake of flesh spread out in a fan shape, dead beyond doubt, and standing atop the 'pancake' was a young man.
With electric horns upon his head, silvery-white Thunder Feather Belt encircling him, his medium-length black hair dancing in the electromagnetic force with no breeze, his flawless features gave one the impression he was not human, but more like a deity manifesting in human form.
The leader of the group was a pretty young woman with short hair and clear eyes. Upon seeing the Tactical Suit Xue Jing wore, she immediately said:
"He's one of us!"
At her words, the others quickly relieved their tension and dropped their guard.
The arrival of the person before them was too shocking; they had no confidence in opposing such a figure... Luckily, he was one of their own.
"Hmm? Could he be..."
The group showed surprise on their faces.
The leading girl took a few steps forward, walked up to Xue Jing, stood up straight and raised her right hand, giving a very standard military salute, and spoke respectfully:
"Lord Jing, I'm a member of the White Crow Task Force, Squad 1534, codename 'Lotus Leaf', and the leader of this temporary operation. What are your instructions?"
Xue Jing responded with a smile, "So you're from White Crow... Did Doctor Shen send you in? Did he have any orders?"
Lotus Leaf nodded and seriously said, "Doctor Shen said that the Core of the Intersecting Boundaries has been breached, its regulations will not change anymore, and its safety has greatly improved. He ordered us to come in to provide support and, if possible, to establish an outpost here to facilitate further exploration..."
Xue Jing touched his chin, "I see."
He glanced at the White Crow members in front of him; each one instinctively stood up straight as his gaze passed over them, visibly anxious.
"All underage... Makes sense, that's the entrance condition for the Intersecting Boundaries."
"That means I won't be able to enter here after a while."
"Looks like when I go, it'll be a farewell."
After a moment's thought, Xue Jing said, "That being the case, you see over there?"
He pointed toward the city of the nation beyond, which was visible from this distance.
"That's the city of the indigenous people of the Intersecting Boundaries. I've established quite a good relationship with the locals here. It's best to build an outpost there for ease of interaction with the natives."
"So, that's settled. I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll head over first. Follow behind me."
Having said this, without waiting for a response from Lotus Leaf, Xue Jing's Thunder Feather Belt flashed, he levitated once more, and soared towards the nation beyond.
Only after he had left did the White Crow operatives slowly relax their tightened bodies and exhale in relief.
"That was Xue Jing, Lord Jing... To think he's the same age as us, unimaginable."
"Doctor Shen said he killed a Pureblood Dragon Species... I've never seen a Pureblood Dragon Breed, how powerful must that be?"
"Rumor has it that it would take at least three White Crow Squads, making full preparations, to have a chance against such a creature... and that's just in its juvenile stage."
