Nine Nether Sparrow? A Spirit Beast from the Upper Realm?

After distributing the small Dragon Essence, Nalan Yanran turned her gaze back to the counter, where one last jar remained unopened.

"For this final jar, I must hit the jackpot—it would be best if it's a treasure even more heaven-defying than the Dragon Essence!"

A hint of excitement flickered in Nalan Yanran's eyes. In just three short days, she had become completely addicted to the sensation of opening jars, much like a gambler lost in the thrill of the game.

Smash!

Nalan Yanran clenched her fist and slammed it hard onto the jar.

Accompanied by a crisp shattering sound, the jar instantly broke into pieces.

In an instant, rays of light shimmered, and the shattered jar vanished without a trace.

"This is... an egg?"

As the light faded, Nalan Yanran looked at the counter and widened her eyes in shock.

There, resting on the counter, was a pitch-black, bucket-sized giant egg that had suddenly appeared.

The black egg was covered in dense, intricate patterns that looked extremely mysterious.

"Boss Ye, what kind of egg is this? It looks quite extraordinary."

Nalan Yanran reached out to touch the black egg, but she couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Yun Shan and Yun Yun, standing to the side, also crowded around to examine the black egg.

But after studying it for a while, both were left completely baffled.

Nearby, Ye Yun glanced at the black egg with indifference.

Nine Nether Sparrow Spirit Beast Egg: A fresh egg from the Nine Nether Sparrow clan in the Great Thousand World. Contains essence; nourishing and health-restoring.

After reading the information on the black egg, a flash of surprise crossed Ye Yun's eyes.

To think he would pull something from the Great Thousand World—this was a first.

Moreover, it was a freshly laid egg from the Nine Nether Sparrow clan.

However, what the hell was this system description?

Nourishing and health-restoring?

A dignified Spirit Beast egg, meant for eating?

That is simply absurd!

Ye Yun remembered that in The Great Ruler, the protagonist Mu Chen was able to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies in the early stages largely due to the Nine Nether Sparrow spirit soul within his body.

The Nine Nether Sparrow was ranked eleventh on the Record of Ten Thousand Beasts in the Great Thousand World; it was an incredibly powerful Spirit Beast.

Indeed, the terminology differed from the Dou Qi Continent; what the Dou Qi Continent called Magical Beasts were known as Spirit Beasts in the Great Thousand World.

Without a doubt, the bloodline of a Spirit Beast was naturally far superior to that of a Magical Beast, especially one as high-ranking as the Nine Nether Sparrow.

"Boss Ye, do you recognize the origin of this black egg?"

After Yun Yun failed to discover anything through her research, she had no choice but to turn her gaze toward Ye Yun.

Ye Yun said calmly, "This is an egg of a Nine Nether Sparrow."

"Nine Nether Sparrow?"

Hearing this, everyone frowned, their eyes filled with contemplation. After a long while, they all shook their heads helplessly; they were certain they had never heard of such a Magical Beast.

"May I ask, Boss Ye, what level of Magical Beast is this Nine Nether Sparrow? Why have we never heard of it?" Yun Shan racked his brains, but unable to recall any information regarding a Nine Nether Sparrow, he asked Ye Yun directly.

"The Nine Nether Sparrow is not a Magical Beast. It comes from the Great Thousand World above the Dou Qi Continent; it is a very powerful Spirit Beast," Ye Yun explained.

"The Great Thousand World above the Dou Qi Continent?"

"A Spirit Beast?"

Hearing Ye Yun's words, everyone was shocked once again.

Ye Yun had already educated them about the Great Thousand World.

According to him, the Dou Qi Continent where they resided was merely a small world.

There were three thousand such small worlds contained within the Great Thousand World.

This alone was enough to show how vast the Great Thousand World was—a place surely teeming with experts and terrifying beyond measure.

And this Spirit Beast called the Nine Nether Sparrow actually originated from that Great Thousand World above the Dou Qi Continent.

This alone was enough to leave Yun Shan and the others feeling immensely shocked.

"This is actually an item from the Upper Realm?" Everyone stared at the black egg on the counter in astonishment, sighing at Nalan Yanran's good fortune.

Having just pulled a heaven-defying Dragon Essence, she had now pulled an egg from the Upper Realm; such luck was truly enviable.

And at this moment, no one was happier than Nalan Yanran herself.

After listening to Ye Yun's introduction, she hugged the black egg on the counter and muttered, "My egg, my treasure..."

Hearing this from the side, the corner of Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly.

What do you mean, your egg?

"May I ask, do you have any eggs?"

"A young lady should really be more mindful of how she speaks."

After a moment of excitement, Nalan Yanran suddenly thought of something and continued to ask Ye Yun, "Boss Ye, are the Spirit Beasts of the Upper Realm stronger than the Tier 9 Magical Beasts of the Dou Qi Continent?"

"It cannot be said so absolutely."

Hearing this, Ye Yun shook his head. "Whether a Spirit Beast is powerful depends primarily on its bloodline rank. Some Spirit Beasts with lower bloodline ranks are not even as strong as the Tier 9 Magical Beasts of the Dou Qi Continent."

Ye Yun spoke plainly, but Yun Shan, Yun Yun, and the others were shaken to their cores upon hearing this.

The Tier 9 Magical Beasts that stood at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent were, upon reaching the Upper Realm, actually only comparable to the most trash-tier Spirit Beasts.
