Chapter 613: The Dream of Breaking the Shell

"Actually, it's not difficult. You have already satisfied the two harshest conditions."

The Fur Ball Immortal stared at the egg and said: "You said you obtained this egg from the ruins of the Xiangong, so it should have undergone the transformation of the Xiangong, or it could be a crossbred variety. In short, I can't tell what the original race is."

"I declare again, I don't guarantee success. If it fails and everything is lost, don't blame me."

"Please speak, Senior."

"The harshest condition is naturally obtaining such an egg, and the second harshest condition is that this egg must be hatched in a place where the power of the Holy Clan remains!"

"In the Immortal World, although the Holy Clan has gone extinct, the immortal artifacts refined by the Holy Clan and the ruins of secret realms left behind all contain a certain amount of Holy Clan power. You can be considered lucky; this continent also has weak Holy Clan power, which can barely satisfy the conditions to transform it."

Lin Jing nodded; it was indeed lucky.

"Then, I will teach you a formation and a mantra, and it will be done. The function of this formation is similar to a Spirit Gathering Formation, which can concentrate the Holy Clan power of an area to nourish the pet beast egg."

"The other mantra requires you to be by the egg's side at all times, following the mantra's operation route to build its foundation and guide the Holy Power into the egg!"

"Wait a moment." Lin Jing frowned.

"What Senior said—concentrating the Holy Power of this area and introducing it into the egg to build its foundation—will it consume the Holy Clan power aura remaining on the Pangu Continent, causing the Holy Power here to be exhausted, thereby making it unable to resist the Demon Clan?"

If that were the case, the Pangu Continent would no longer be a paradise for the Immortal Cultivation Alliance.

Without the suppression of Holy Power, the six Demon Generals would probably launch an expedition and kill their way into the Pangu Continent at the first opportunity.

He couldn't just join the Beast-Taming Sect only for it to seal itself, join the Academy only for it to stop classes, and now that he had joined the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, for it to be forced to disband.

"You don't need to worry about that." The Fur Ball Immortal dispelled Lin Jing's doubts.

"It doesn't need much Holy Power. It is not a Holy Clan member, and being an egg, it cannot bear too much Holy Power. Holy Power is not like immortal force; immortal force is universal to all races and can be absorbed by the Holy, Demon, Demon Beast, and Immortal races, perfectly compatible. But Holy Power is the exclusive power of the Holy Clan. Even if it has astonishing potential, it is impossible for it to absorb it without limit like heaven and earth spiritual energy."

"It is just using this foundation-building method to plant a seed of Holy Power in its bloodline. At most, it is equivalent to Deity Transformation-level magic power fluctuations. How much power can it consume?"

"Even after hatching, what level of suppression it can use Holy Power to exert on the Demon Clan depends on your subsequent cultivation, not something that can be decided at birth. However, as for the upper limit, it is certainly at most affecting non-Royal-level Demon Clan bloodlines."

With the Fur Ball Immortal saying this, Lin Jing felt relieved. As long as it wouldn't cause the Demon Clan barrier of the Pangu Continent to fail, it was fine.

Afterward, under the guidance of the Fur Ball Immortal, Lin Jing began the long process of hatching the egg.

It was no different from hatching an egg.

During this period, Sheng Kun's younger brother, "Mo Xu," who was tied to the prison pillar in the valley, was surprised to find that the Pangu Continent's suppression of his bloodline power was becoming weaker and weaker!

He remained silent, enduring and waiting, until the Holy Power here was all gathered away by the formation. His Demon Clan bloodline was completely restored, and his strength was also seven or eight-tenths recovered. He could already attempt to break free from the seal on his body.

Bang!!!

The seal was broken.

"Success!!"

Mo Xu, who had broken out, was overjoyed. He felt that he had discovered intelligence sufficient to influence the battle situation of the Lower World: the Pangu Continent's suppression of Demon Clan bloodlines... seemed to have failed!

As long as he could successfully pass this intelligence back, the Demon Clan army would instantly assemble and launch a full-scale attack on the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. This dog-skin plaster that had been pestering the Heavenly Demon Realm for so long was not far from destruction!

However, before Mo Xu could be excited for too long, a large pot directly smashed him back down from the sky.

Pfft.

Mo Xu spat out blood, looking in fear at the flaming carp floating in the sky.

"Bo..." The Dragon Carp looked at Mo Xu thoughtfully and directly put him into the pill cauldron. Seeing this, Mo Xu wanted to change direction and escape, but how could he be a match for the Dragon Carp, which possessed an Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit? Not long after, he was re-sealed, and the place where he was sealed this time was even worse.

"Damn it!"

Mo Xu smashed the cauldron, but it didn't move a bit.

He was extremely annoyed, but the next instant, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, discovering a serious problem, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.

Wait, why did he subconsciously conclude just now that the Pangu Continent's suppression of the Demon Clan had failed?

Was it possible that the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, that Lin Jing, had already comprehended the power of the Pangu Continent's suppression of the Demon Clan and could already freely control this power?

If that were the case, then this was completely not good news, but... for the Heavenly Demon Realm, a very unfavorable piece of news.

Before Mo Xu could think deeply, the Dragon Carp directly descended with a ball of immortal fire. It wasn't trying to refine this Mo Xu into a pill to increase cultivation, but wanted to learn from the alchemists of the Xiangong to see if it could extract the other party's Demon Clan bloodline and refine it into a Demon Body Pill, transferring the Demon Clan bloodline to someone else!

"There is a change."

On the other side, after a long time had passed, Lin Jing, who had poured all his energy over these years into the Immortal Beast Egg, finally felt the change in the egg for the first time.

Although it hadn't hatched, the life inside seemed to have already developed consciousness and intelligence in advance.

And because it had absorbed so much of his blood, he could feel its longing from inside.

The other party's consciousness was still in a muddled state, like dreaming. In this state, the other party's greatest longing was to break out of the shell quickly and see the real world.

But clearly, it wasn't time to break the shell yet, so Lin Jing had to hold back and continue to build its foundation with Holy Power.

This process, from beginning to end, lasted about ten years. In ten years, under Lin Jing's unremitting efforts, this egg... finally "clicked," and the first crack appeared.

Lin Jing took a deep breath, and the Fur Ball Immortal also appeared instantly. It hadn't left during this period, just wanting to see if Lin Jing could succeed.

"It's a foot..." The first crack in the eggshell, along with the holy light, extended out a foot. It looked very much like a bird's foot.

The second crack also extended out a foot.

The third... extended out a hand, and the fourth, also a hand. Soon, the pet beast egg became an egg with sound hands and feet. Lin Jing was still waiting for its full appearance to completely break out of the shell, however...

Next, following three "click" sounds, the egg didn't completely shatter, but just grew an extra pair of eyes and a mouth, without even a nose.

The Holy Egg's big eyes just looked at Lin Jing and the Fur Ball Immortal, and a wisp of holy light shone on its snow-white shell.

"Seems to be over." The Fur Ball Immortal said: "This mutation is a bit strange, but fortunately the power has awakened, so it doesn't count as a failure." ===== CHAPTER 614 =====
