But Han Xuanji quickly stopped thinking about it; his own strength was the most important thing.
Li Taiqing also noticed this egg, which looked anything but ordinary, and asked:
"Master, what is this?"
"Dragon egg."
Han Xuanji replied casually.
I just picked it up.
"Found it? Where did you find it?"
Li Taiqing felt a little envious.
Raising a spirit pet is something many Immortal Dao do, so it's not surprising.
However, obtaining a top-tier creature like Dragon Race is no easy feat.
"It's a very dangerous place, would you dare go?"
Han Xuanji said with a smile.
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Li Taiqing quickly shook his head:
"No, I'm not going."
He knew about the terrible state of Jiang Hao and Su Ming. Although they had escaped with their lives, the dangers they had faced were self-evident.
Even Han Xuanji said it was dangerous, so he decided against it.
"Then why don't you go and cultivate yourself properly?"
"Yes!"
Li Taiqing felt embarrassed and quickly went to cultivate quietly under the Dragon Blood Black-Yellow Tree.
Only Han Xuanji was left alone with an egg.
" The Dragon Transformation Pool in the Beast Garden, though a treasure trove for nurturing dragons, is mixed with other elements, making it less than ideal for this newly born True Dragon."
Han Xuanji lightly touched the eggshell with his fingertip, sensing the slumbering, nascent consciousness within.
"Very well, since it's what I got from signing in, and it's meant to be, I'll find you a better place."
With a thought, he selected a Spirit Vein node, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned wisps of primordial energy, along with the many rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had recently acquired through daily check-ins, to construct a small pool.
The pool water was murky, containing a primordial vitality as if the world had just been created, with starlight floating and sinking in it.
He carefully placed the True Dragon into the pool.
The dragon patterns on the eggshell seemed to come alive, glowing faintly, and began to autonomously absorb the pure energy in the pool, its life force growing stronger at a visible speed.
"If you are nurtured here, when you hatch, you should be no less powerful than other True Dragon of your kind."
Han Xuanji nodded in satisfaction.
Using Chaos Qi and the origin of stars as its Foundation Establishment, this kind of achievement should be no less impressive than that of the ancestral land of the Dragon Race.
After settling the dragon eggs, he glanced in the direction of Jiang Hao, Su Ming, and the others. With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, he sensed that the two were steadily recovering their auras with the help of the medicinal power.
Although Su Fate Dao's foundation was damaged, it was not fundamentally harmed. On the contrary, he benefited from the misfortune and his temperament seemed to become more refined.
Jiang Hao faces another calamity, but his path forward is not entirely blocked.
"This turmoil has come to an end."
Han Xuanji remained calm.
Even those with good fortune don't necessarily have a smooth life; without strength, they are ultimately just pawns.
He is currently just a player in the game; it will take him some time to transcend that and become the one who plays the game.
Han Xuanji refocused his attention on his own cultivation, knowing full well that beneath the calm surface, undercurrents were still surging.
Although he made quite a show of force when he went to the Nether Sea, the Nether Sea is so vast that battles break out all the time. A battle at the level of a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal is really not enough to attract the attention of those powerful beings.
Han Xuanji had observed the Nether Sea with his Double Pupils and found that there were many powerful experts at the Daluo level. To him, it was still a high-level map, and he dared not go around checking in.
However, that place is indeed a good place to comprehend the Dao of reincarnation and life and death. Perhaps I will need to make a trip there in the future to break through to the Daluo.
Han Xuanji couldn't help but think about his future path to becoming Daluo Immortal.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, making him a formidable figure even in the Upper Realm.
The realm of the Daluo Immortal King requires him to push the Taiyi Dao Fruit to its limit, begin to attempt to "transcend the Three Realms and be outside the Five Elements," and initially break free from the constraints of some fundamental Principle of the Great Thousand Worlds in pursuit of freedom and ease.
Of course, to condense the Daluo Dao Fruit, one must first elevate one's cultivation to the ultimate level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and then use one's understanding of the Great Dao to sublimate the Taiyi Dao Fruit.
Soon after, Han Xuanji began to devote himself to cultivation.
The numerous treasures he collected from previous check-ins are enough for his cultivation at the Taiyi Realm.
Deep within the Nine Emperors Devil Domain, in a dark palace suspended above endless demonic clouds.
The Devil Master " You Shi " stood silently before a huge, blood-red chessboard.
The chessboard was not made of ordinary pieces, but of countless shimmering points of light, some as bright as stars, some dim and about to go out, and many more completely shattered and annihilated.
Suddenly, the dark green light representing the " Nether Dragon Devil Venerable " flickered violently without warning, then with a soft "poof," it dimmed and shattered completely, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating.
You Shi's fingers, which were twirling a black jade bead, suddenly stopped. His handsome but bloodless face showed no emotion, only a ripple in his deep purple eyes.
He was not tall, even somewhat thin, shrouded in a large black robe, his face indistinct, and he murmured:
" The Nether Dragon... has fallen."
One of the disciples serving him changed his expression and frowned:
"What?"
This disciple, named " Duan Tianji," was one of the most skilled at deducing heavenly secrets and scheming among the three hundred disciples of the Devil Master, and his cultivation had reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Duan Tianji slightly, his face unable to conceal his astonishment.
"Although the Nether Dragon is violent in nature, its strength is not weak among those in the Taiyi Realm, and it also has the advantage of the Nether Sea, so how could it..."
He had orchestrated the whole thing and thought it was all done, but then this unexpected thing happened.
"A single blow kills, annihilating both body and soul."
You Shi added, lightly touching the spot where the light of the Nether Dragon Devil Venerable had dissipated with his fingertip, trying to capture the remaining traces of cause and effect, but found that the place was in Chaos, as if it had been completely erased by some kind of force.
"The one who made the move was extremely skilled, and... the attack was clean and efficient."
You Shi slowly, his gaze still fixed on the chessboard:
" The Dao of Stars... its aura is pure and vast, beyond the reach of ordinary Star Palace elders. However, the whereabouts of those old fellows in the Star Palace are all under our control, and none of them have gone to the Nether Sea."
Was this person an accident, or... a deliberate scheme against me?
Duan Tianji thought for a moment and said:
"Master, this matter is strange. Was this operation meticulously planned, and did it take place in the Nether Sea? Could it be that our plan has been leaked?"
The Devil Master remained silent for a long time, his aura growing increasingly profound, as if he were rapidly deducing countless possibilities.
"The possibility of the plan being leaked is unlikely."
The Devil Master finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.
More likely... it's a variable.
"Variable?"
"Hmm. An unexpected variable has emerged."
The Devil Master's gaze seemed to pierce through the demon palace, looking towards the direction of the Spirit Void Immortal Domain.
"To be able to instantly kill the Nether Dragon, its strength must be at least at the Peak Taiyi, or even on the verge of Daluo."
Such a person could not possibly be unknown. Yet, ironically, we know nothing about him.
He paused, his tone becoming more serious:
" The Immortal Dao... is indeed not yet due for decline."
In times of great calamity, there are always those destined to rise up and attempt to turn the tide. Could it be that Su Ming is the One Destined to Face the Tribulation?
He raised his eyes and looked at the churning demonic clouds outside the palace, his gaze becoming deep and unfathomable.
Duan Tianji sensed the unusual solemnity in his master's tone and bowed, saying:
"This disciple will immediately mobilize all available informants to thoroughly investigate all recent unusual movements, especially those related to the Dao of Stars and hidden experts capable of instantly killing the Nether Dragon Devil Venerable!"
"Not enough."
The Devil Master said calmly, "Since the opponent can so easily deceive us, leaving us completely unaware, conventional methods will be of little use."
"What should we do?"
Duan Tianji couldn't help but feel troubled.
This mysterious and powerful figure is not only incredibly strong, but also well-versed in the Dao of Fate of Tongtian and destiny, making him a truly formidable opponent.
"You may leave. I have my own arrangements for this matter."
"Yes."
