After distributing the small Dragon Essences, Nalan Yanran turned her gaze back to the counter. There was still one final Jar left unopened.
"For this last Jar, I'm definitely going to hit the jackpot! It'd be best if it contains a treasure even more heaven-defying than Dragon Essence!"
A hint of excitement appeared in Nalan Yanran's eyes. In just three short days, she had become utterly addicted to the feeling of opening Jars, like a gambler addicted to gambling.
Crack!
Nalan Yanran clenched her fist and slammed it fiercely onto the Jar.
With a crisp shattering sound, the Jar instantly broke into countless pieces.
In an instant, rosy light flickered, and the shattered Jar vanished.
"This is... an egg?"
As the rosy light faded, Nalan Yanran looked at the counter and immediately widened her eyes.
A massive black egg the size of a water barrel had appeared on the counter.
The black giant egg was covered in dense, mysterious-looking patterns.
"Boss Ye, what kind of egg is this? It looks extraordinary."
Nalan Yanran reached out and felt around the black giant egg, but she could not make sense of it.
Yun Shan and Yun Yun also came over and carefully examined the black giant egg.
Yet after looking at it for a while, both were utterly baffled.
Beside them, Ye Yun casually swept his gaze over the black giant egg.
Nine Nether Sparrow Spirit Beast Egg: A fresh egg laid by the Nine Nether Sparrow clan from the world of [The Great Ruler]. Contains essence and nourishes the body.
After reading the information on the black giant egg, a trace of surprise flashed through Ye Yun's eyes.
Something from [The Great Ruler] had actually been opened. This was a first.
And it was even a freshly laid egg from the Nine Nether Sparrow clan.
But what the hell was this system information?
Nourishes the body?
Was a dignified Spirit Beast egg meant to be eaten?
This was simply ridiculous!
Ye Yun remembered that in The Great Ruler, Mu Chen had been able to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies during the early stages largely because of the Nine Nether Sparrow essence within his body.
In the world of The Great Ruler, the Nine Nether Sparrow ranked eleventh on the Earth List of the Record of Ten Thousand Beasts. It was an exceptionally powerful Spirit Beast.
That was right. Unlike the terminology on the Dou Qi Continent, where they were called magical beasts, they were called Spirit Beasts in The Great Ruler.
Without question, the bloodlines of Spirit Beasts far surpassed those of magical beasts, especially a top-ranked Spirit Beast like the Nine Nether Sparrow.
"Boss Ye, do you know the origins of this black giant egg?"
After studying it for a while without discovering anything, Yun Yun could only turn her gaze toward Ye Yun helplessly.
Ye Yun said calmly, "This egg belongs to a Nine Nether Sparrow."
"Nine Nether Sparrow?"
Hearing this, everyone frowned, thoughtful looks appearing in their eyes. After a long while, they could only shake their heads helplessly. They were certain they had never heard of this type of magical beast.
"May I ask, Boss Ye, what rank of magical beast is this Nine Nether Sparrow? Why have we never heard of it?" Yun Shan racked his brains but could not recall any information related to the Nine Nether Sparrow, so he directly asked Ye Yun.
"The Nine Nether Sparrow is not a magical beast. It comes from the Great Thousand World above the Dou Qi Continent and is a very powerful Spirit Beast," Ye Yun explained.
"The Great Thousand World above the Dou Qi Continent?"
"Spirit Beast?"
Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, everyone was shocked once again.
Ye Yun had long since explained the Great Thousand World to them.
According to Ye Yun, the Dou Qi Continent they inhabited was merely a Lesser World.
The Great Thousand World contained as many as three thousand Lesser Worlds like this one.
That alone showed just how vast the Great Thousand World was. It surely contained countless experts and was unimaginably terrifying.
And this Spirit Beast called the Nine Nether Sparrow had actually come from the Great Thousand World above the Dou Qi Continent.
That alone was enough to leave Yun Shan and the others utterly shocked.
"This actually came from the Upper Realm?" Everyone stared at the black giant egg on the counter in astonishment, marveling at Nalan Yanran's incredible luck.
She had just opened a heaven-defying Dragon Essence, and now she had opened an egg from the Upper Realm. Such luck was truly enviable.
Naturally, the happiest person at that moment was Nalan Yanran herself.
After hearing Ye Yun's introduction, she hugged the black giant egg on the counter and muttered, "My egg, my precious..."
The corner of Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly when he heard that.
What did she mean, her egg?
Did she even have an egg?
Girls really ought to watch what they said.
After being excited for a moment, Nalan Yanran suddenly thought of something and continued asking Ye Yun, "Boss Ye, are Spirit Beasts from the Upper Realm stronger than even ninth-rank magical beasts from the Dou Qi Continent?"
"It can't be stated so absolutely."
Ye Yun shook his head. "Whether a Spirit Beast is powerful depends primarily on the grade of its bloodline. Some Spirit Beasts with lower-grade bloodlines may even be inferior to ninth-rank magical beasts of the Dou Qi Continent."
Ye Yun spoke casually, but Yun Shan, Yun Yun, and the others were deeply shaken by his words.
Ninth-rank magical beasts, which stood at the peak of the Dou Qi Continent, could only compare to the most inferior Spirit Beasts after reaching the Upper Realm.
