Chapter 606: The Mysterious Egg!
A pile of valuable cultivation resources, worth a fortune. Just a Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill alone is already an extraordinary treasure, something that even numerous Divine Sword School wouldn't be able to acquire.
"Father, what is going on..."
After a long while, he took a deep breath, and Su Jingting finally regained some composure.
"Su Yi might still be alive!"
Old Man Su Yuntian took a deep breath. The arrival of the short statured powerful figure and the three Dharma Protectors from the Divine Sword School indicating that Su Yi is still alive and probably has some connection with the Divine Sword School.
"Su Yi, is he really still alive!"
Su Jingting's eyes trembled, his face showing a dignified yet excited expression. He paced around with a hint of joy, saying, "It's good that he's alive, it's good he's alive. That kid was fine for three years in the Forest of Demons. Maybe he managed to escape another calamity back then. But since he's alive, why didn't he come back, even if it's just to send a letter?"
"Su Yi didn't send a message back. I guess he must have had concerns. If he went to the Divine Sword School instead of Sacred Mountain, maybe something else happened there..."
Su Yuntian frowned. He had always suspected Su Yi's death, thinking that there might be something behind it.
"Father, are you suspecting that Su Yi had met with danger in the Forest of Demons and Wang from Sacred Mountain..."Su Jingting hesitated to speak but then opened his mouth, his eyes flickering.
"If the people from Sacred Mountain truly wanted to protect Su Yi, how could accidents have occurred? I suspect that even if it wasn't Wang Quande's doing, he is definitely involved."
Old Man Su Yuntian's gaze turned heavy. From the way Sacred Mountain had treated Su Yi in the past, it was easy to infer that Su Yi's life would not have been easy even if he had made it to Sacred Mountain.
"If Su Yi is still alive, and in the Divine Sword School, that would be another option. Judging from the current attitude of the Divine Sword School towards our Su family, maybe that fellow Su Yi is doing well there."
Su Jingting pondered. The fact that the Divine Sword School had brought so many things to the Su family indicated that if Su Yi was indeed in the Divine Sword School, it would prove that the school valued him greatly.
"That's precisely why I'm worried. Perhaps something truly happened to Su Yi this time..."
Old Man Su Yuntian's expression turned grave, his brows furrowing as he sighed. "Whether it was Wang Quande from Sacred Mountain or recent happenings in the Divine Sword School, only Su Yi would know the truth. It's regrettable that even after dedicating my entire life to martial arts, I couldn't reach a high level. Otherwise, I wouldn't let this matter go unresolved."
"Father, you don't have to worry too much. Su Yi has always had good fortune on his side. He can turn bad situations into good. Moreover, he has always had the ability to protect himself, regardless of his other skills. It's just difficult for anyone to take advantage of him. I'm sure nothing serious has happened to him." Su Jingting reassured Su Yuntian.
"In this aspect, Su Yi does have some similarities to his father." Hearing this, the deeply furrowed brows of Old Man Su Yuntian relaxed slightly.
Night, the ancient pines solemn, the mountains and rocks gloomy, tree shadows swaying.
Recently, it has been raining, and even at the open space on the mountaintop, the starlight is indistinguishable, everywhere covered in mist and fog.
"Roarrrr……"
In the distant damp night, as thick as ink, occasional roars of beasts could be heard.
In a concealed valley, although the surrounding mountains were not very tall, there were steep cliffs and precipitous rocks everywhere.
This valley was concealed amidst the lush mountains, very secretive.
A figure sat cross-legged, exuding a faint red glow and emanating an ancient aura of pressure.
Not far away, a Wolf-headed Demon Bat perched on a cliff, its sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
The one sitting cross-legged was Su Yi.
Carefully, Su Yi made his way back towards Man City, accompanied by the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, without drawing attention.
Su Yi was well aware that although he was only passing through a corner of the Forest of Demons on the way to Man City, it was still the territory of the Black Fiend School and where Emperor Blazing Dragon resided. If he were recognized, the consequences would be dire, so caution was paramount.
Fortunately, Su Yi was quite familiar with the Forest of Demons and possessed ample survival skills within its confines.
Coupled with his current cultivation level, which was much stronger than before, Su Yi proceeded cautiously and did not encounter too many dangers along the way.
Encountering several formidable demon beasts, Su Yi used the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique to directly deter them and continued on his way.
Not daring to be too conspicuous by riding the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, Su Yi's speed was considerably reduced, but it provided an opportunity for further honing. Occasionally, he would use the Wolf-headed Demon Bat as a means of transportation without sacrificing too much speed.
However, at this moment, Su Yi was once again ragged and looked like a savage.
Su Yi didn't mind, as it actually didn't attract too much attention.
He exhaled deeply, and Su Yi opened his eyes. His aura fluctuated, causing his tattered robe to billow. His eyes flickered with a crimson light, then regained their deep and resolute look.
Feeling everything inside him, Su Yi was quite satisfied. Every day, apart from traveling, he devoted himself to cultivation. His aura had already stabilized at the Eighth Grade of Yuan Soul Realm and had made further progress.
Su Yi was not too complacent about reaching the Eighth Grade of Yuan Spirit Realm in his cultivation.
Compared to those powerhouses, Su Yi was well aware that he was still a novice.
In the face of those true powerhouses, he was still powerless.
If he wanted to become strong, he had to rely on himself and continuously double his efforts in cultivation. Su Yi never dared to slack off on this.
"It seems like I forgot something."
Su Yi's eyes flickered, emitting a red light in the darkness, and then he took out an object from his space bag.
It was an oval-shaped egg about the size of a goose egg.
This egg was very peculiar, with a pale golden shell, exactly like the one Su Yi obtained after the disappearance of the divine bird skeleton in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
"What is this exactly..." Su Yi's eyes flickered, showing astonishment. It was truly surprising that this egg could survive from the flames that could burn everything in the first place. It was definitely not simple.
"Could it be the descendant of that divine bird..."
Su Yi carefully examined the egg in his hand. It had a moderate weight and, other than its light golden color, there was not much difference from ordinary bird eggs.
"Dang dang..."
Su Yi forcefully tapped the stone in front of him, but found that the egg was incredibly solid and couldn't be cracked open.
Subsequently, Su Yi tried smashing the egg with a stone, but it had no effect.
This light golden egg was as hard as a rock and couldn't be opened.
Su Yi tried various methods, including infusing his vitality and soul communication, but none of them had any effect.
"Should I use fire to burn it..."
Su Yi remembered the egg of Emperor Blazing Dragon which had hatched inside the volcano. His handprints condensed, and he activated his fire attribute vitality, condensing flames to burn the egg in his hand.
After half an hour, Su Yi was drenched in sweat and had expended a considerable amount of vitality, but the light golden egg in his hand remained as cold as jade, its temperature unchanged.
"Could this egg be spoiled..."
Su Yi clicked his tongue and had no choice but to give up. He had exhausted all his methods but couldn't open the egg, nor did he know what it was.
