Chapter 43: An Indestructible Egg

Half a day later.

The Qingyun Sect had returned to its former tranquility, with everything in order.

Inside the Elders' Council Hall.

Some of the elders who were not seriously injured sat on both sides of the main hall.

In the center of the main hall.

Before the Fifth Elder lay several hundred storage rings.

"Report to the Grand Elder, this raid on the Blood Demon Sect yielded a total of..."

"Damn it!"

The Grand Elder scolded again: "Watch your language, it's 'temporary storage'."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The Fifth Elder nodded repeatedly: "This time we have temporarily taken 360 storage rings of treasures from the Blood Demon Sect."

"Furthermore, I flattened thirty-two demon peaks of the Blood Demon Sect, destroyed eighteen demon gates, and, acting on heaven's will to eliminate harm for the people, slaughtered all Blood Demon Sect disciples."

"From now on, there will be no such corrupt sect as the Blood Demon Sect in Azure Prefecture; you who are devoted to righteousness can rest easy."

Upon hearing this,

All the elders' faces lit up with excited, fervent expressions.

Now, having slain the late-stage Great Sage Li Kuang, they have become famous in one battle.

Moreover, they have temporarily seized the wealth and resources of the Blood Demon Sect; with these, the Qingyun Sect can rise swiftly.

From now on, who would dare to look down on the Qingyun Sect again?

Naturally, all this is thanks to the Heavenly Dao Peak Master, Lin Yang.

"Hahaha!"

The Grand Elder laughed loudly: "Good, let's first store these items temporarily in the Qingyun Sect's treasury."

"Yes!"

The Fifth Elder had someone take all the storage rings away.

Afterward,

He then produced another egg.

"Everyone, this egg was found in Li Kuang's cultivation chamber; he nourished it with vast amounts of heavenly treasures and earthly riches, and it is protected by a formation, so it must be important to the Blood Mad."

"I fiddled with it for a while but couldn't figure out its secrets, so I'm letting everyone have a look."

Immediately,

Everyone looked over; it was a strange egg, uneven like a meteorite, entirely brown in color.

It was very peculiar.

The Grand Elder walked over, sensed it for a moment, then looked and touched it.

His face was solemn.

Seeing the Grand Elder so solemn, the Fifth Elder curiously asked: "Grand Elder, can you discern anything about it?"

The other elders also looked curiously at the Grand Elder.

"None!"

The Grand Elder shook his head; the egg gave no sensation when sensed, looked like a stone, felt like a stone, and he could discern nothing special about it.

Upon hearing that,

Everyone became even more curious; even the Grand Elder couldn't discern its nature—what on earth is this thing?

Everyone also gathered around, using all their knowledge to sense the egg.

They likewise got nothing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this thing belongs to that old devil Li Kuang; it's certainly not anything good, and might even be a demonic object."

Upon hearing that!

Everyone stepped back a foot: "Yeah, as far as I know, the Blood Demon Sect's cultivation favors refining humans into Blood Demon Pills; this might very well be made from human flesh."

"How unlucky."

"Fifth Elder, you brought this back; you keep it yourself."

Upon hearing that, the Fifth Elder grew even more disgusted with it.

"I don't want it; you guys can do whatever you like with it."

Afterward, the Fifth Elder kept a certain distance from the egg.

Everyone else also kept their distance.

"In my opinion, we should just destroy it."

As soon as that was said, most people agreed.

The Grand Elder also tacitly approved this action.

Immediately,

Someone channeled a strand of spiritual power, levitating the egg high, then threw it down.

Clang!

But the egg did not break.

"What…?"

Everyone stared at each other.

Immediately, someone began attacking the egg.

Yet no matter what means they employed, they still could not affect the egg in any way.

"How could this be?"

"Even destruction can't destroy it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The Grand Elder furrowed their brow, then grabbed the egg and said, "This thing shouldn't be simple; I'll keep it for now. When the Sect Leader returns, let her have a look."

Upon hearing that!

Everyone no longer dwelled on it; after all, such an evil object— not allowing them to temporarily keep it was already a mercy— so they naturally had no objections.

………………

After the egg matter was settled, the Grand Elder again said, "Everyone, I have a matter to discuss with you all."

Everyone listened attentively.

The Grand Elder slowly said, "Everyone should know that the previous Sect Leader of our Azure Cloud Sect by chance obtained a one-time bone scroll."

"It is said that the bone scroll contains an Imperial-grade cultivation technique."

"Originally, this technique was prepared for the Sect Leader to cultivate to the late Great Sage stage, but the Sect Leader frankly said it was useless for her, so it was never used."

"Later, it was meant for Li Mu, but he never reached the late Great Sage stage, so it remained unused."

"Now that Lin Yang can easily slay a late Great Sage Fierce Madness, I intend to give that bone scroll to Lin Yang."

"Everyone, what do you think?"

The Grand Elder looked toward the elders below.

"Agree!"

"Lin Yang is indeed worthy of that bone scroll."

"Moreover, without the Imperial-grade cultivation technique, Lin Yang can easily slay the Fierce Madness; with it, wouldn't his strength rise another level?"

"The stronger he is, the better for our Azure Cloud Sect."

"Give it to him!"

Everyone voiced their opinions one after another.

"Alright!"

Seeing everyone say that, the Grand Elder decisively said, "Then I will give that technique to Lin Yang."

"Also, Heavenly Dao Peak has just been established not long ago; many facilities are still incomplete. Fifth Elder, you take cultivation resources equal to the Six Peaks, as well as ten spirit veins, and follow me to Heavenly Dao Peak."

"Now, the two outstanding disciples of Heavenly Dao Peak, as promising sprouts of the Azure Cloud Sect's rise, naturally need to be supplied with cultivation resources."

"And the ten spirit veins can greatly enhance the spiritual energy within Heavenly Dao Peak, which is also greatly beneficial for the cultivation of the two disciples."

Immediately.

The two then left the elders' conference hall.

————————

Meanwhile, at Heavenly Dao Peak.

Lin Yang leaned back on the recliner, while Li Yilan still hadn't returned.

And Ye Xiaodie stood beside Lin Yang.

She held the《Shadow Assassination Heart Sutra》manual in her hand.

"Master, master, the disciple has learned the introduction of the《Shadow Assassination Heart Sutra》, but the later content is a bit hard to understand."

"According to the introduction, to become an assassin, one must first make oneself invisible."

"As for this invisibility method, the disciple pondered long but achieved nothing."

"Hope the master can give some guidance."

Immediately.

Ye Xiaodie handed the《Shadow Assassination Heart Sutra》to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang merely glanced at it.

Ye Xiaodie, your orange trait is Innate Assassin; your gold trait is Shadow Maiden; your purple trait is Sacred Shadow Body—things even you can't understand, how could I possibly understand?

He has always been laid-back, still waiting for the assassin's path to pay off.

However, as a master, Lin Yang still spoke seriously: "Have you heard the story of covering one's ears while stealing a bell?"

Ye Xiaodie nodded; such a silly story she had naturally heard.

However, Lin Yang suddenly ran out of words.

Didn't know how to continue making it up.

However.

However, Ye Xiaodie's eyes suddenly gleamed.

"I understand now; so Master, you meant this..."
