Chapter 427: Nine Heavens Gate Martial Arts Tournament

This spirit beast egg's hatching process is truly miraculous.

According to my observation, placing the exquisite stone beside the spirit beast egg will conduct heat into it.

Gu Qingwan grasped an exquisite stone and observed it carefully.

I discovered that when I use the exquisite stone to draw circles along the surface of the spirit beast egg, its surface patterns become more distinct.

Lu Yuan nodded.

Yes, this shows that the energy released by the exquisite stone can affect the spirit beast egg through thermal conduction and frequency resonance.

But exactly how to hatch it still needs further discussion.

Gu Qingwan furrowed her brow in thought for a long time, "According to my speculation, perhaps we can try to guide the spirit beast egg to begin gestation by adjusting the exquisite stone's energy fluctuation frequency."

However, this operation may require some time and skill.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly after hearing, "Qingwan, your idea is good."

We can try to adjust the exquisite stone's internal structure to change its energy fluctuation frequency, thereby influencing the hatching process inside the spirit beast egg.

After all, the exquisite stone is a miraculous object capable of storing and releasing energy.

Gu Qingwan nodded to show agreement.

Yes, and this method will not harm the spirit beast egg.

We can start with small-scale attempts, observing its reaction and results.

The two encouraged each other, continuing the experiment in Tranquil Heart Valley.

They adjusted the exquisite stone's internal structure and energy fluctuation frequency, placed the exquisite stone beside the spirit beast egg, and carefully drew runes with their fingers.

After repeated attempts and exploration, Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan finally saw results.

They discovered that during the process of adjusting the exquisite stone's fluctuation frequency, the spirit beast egg began to show a faint response.

Lu Yuan excitedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It seems we have mastered the correct method!"

As long as we persist, successfully hatching a spirit beast should be imminent!

Gu Qingwan smiled and nodded, "Yes, our efforts have not been in vain."

The hatching process of the spirit beast egg is truly astonishing; I can't wait to see the hatched spirit beast!

A surge of curiosity and anticipation for the unknown welled up in their hearts.

They understood that only through constant exploration and practice could they gradually deepen their understanding of using the exquisite stone and hatching spirit beast eggs. Thunderbolt True Lord led a multitude of strong cultivators as he slowly stepped into the Nine Heavens Gate's main hall.

The sight before them caused the Nine Heavens Gate disciples to involuntarily hold their breath.

Although they had long heard of Thunderbolt True Lord's reputation, they never expected him to come to Nine Heavens Gate in person.

The disciples looked at Thunderbolt True Lord with reverent gazes, and an inexplicable tension welled up in their hearts.

They understood that before this exalted and powerful immortal, they were merely insignificant beings.

News spread both inside and outside Nine Heavens Gate, drawing countless passersby to stop and watch.

People discussed heatedly, speculating what intentions Thunderbolt True Lord had in suddenly appearing at Nine Heavens Gate.

Thunderbolt True Lord surveyed the surroundings, but did not directly engage in conversation with the crowd.

He gazed sternly toward the platform deep in the main hall, a hint of contemplation in his phoenix eyes.

At that very moment, the most honored person of Nine Heavens Gate—the Supreme Dao Ancestor—appeared on the platform.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled slightly, "Welcome, Thunderbolt True Lord, to Nine Heavens Gate. May I ask what guidance you seek?"

Thunderbolt True Lord raised his head and smiled, "Supreme Dao Ancestor, I and my fellow disciples have come to Nine Heavens Gate not without purpose."

We have come here to collaborate on a major undertaking with Nine Heavens Gate.

The people inside and outside Nine Heavens Gate widened their eyes upon hearing Thunderbolt True Lord's words, and curiosity ignited in their hearts.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Please speak."

Thunderbolt True Lord walked toward the platform with light steps, "We have learned that the Red Lotus Sect and the Blood Moon Sect intend to assist the Red Lotus Old Ancestor in escaping the seal."

They seek to retrieve the "Seal Demonic Scripture" in order to master the sealing arts.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The Red Lotus Sect and the Blood Moon Sect are both evil cults; if they help the Red Lotus Old Ancestor break free of the seal, it would be a tremendous disaster.

Thunderbolt True Lord continued, "To thwart their wicked scheme, we need the support of Nine Heavens Gate."

We know you have unique research and cultivation methods in spirit beast breeding, and we hope to receive your assistance in hatching a powerful spirit beast to counter the Red Lotus Sect and the Blood Moon Sect.

The people inside and outside Nine Heavens Gate immediately began to discuss Thunderbolt True Lord's plan heatedly.

Some thought the plan worth trying, while others expressed concern about a backlash from the Red Lotus Sect and the Blood Moon Sect.

After a moment of contemplation, the Supreme Dao Ancestor nodded to Thunderbolt True Lord, "Since it is to defend against the menace of evil cults, Nine Heavens Gate naturally wishes to offer support."

But please rest assured, Thunderbolt True Lord, I will personally dispatch elite disciples to cooperate with you.

Thunderbolt True Lord smiled slightly, "Thank you very much, Supreme Dao Ancestor, for your support."

However, time is pressing; please arrange it as soon as possible.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor glanced at Lu Yuan and the others, his eyes radiating warmth, "Very well, please wait a moment."

As the Supreme Dao Ancestor left the platform, Nine Heavens Gate's inside and outside once again fell into discussion. Lu Yuan, clad in a cyan immortal robe, wielded the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, standing on the martial arts arena.

His gaze was firm, his body exuding confidence and strength.

He approached this martial arts bout with passion, fearlessly engaging in fierce combat with other cultivators.

He swiftly employed the Five Elements Escape Armor Art, his movements like the wind, nimbly maneuvering within the arena.

The Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand emanated powerful thunder and lightning force, each move and style extraordinarily fierce.

Other cultivators were not idle either, each trying every means to display their strength, hoping to attract Thunderbolt True Lord's attention.

They variously displayed superb immortal techniques and secret arts, crossing and sparring in the martial arts arena.

Thunderbolt True Lord stood silently in the spectator stands, his gaze profound.

He carefully observed Lu Yuan and the other cultivators' performance.

Although Lu Yuan was in the midst of fierce battle, he nevertheless felt Thunderbolt True Lord's attention toward him.

Time gradually passed, as Lu Yuan repeatedly dodged the enemies' attacks and launched counterattacks.

His figure was like a ghost's, continually and easily neutralizing the opponent's attacks.

Thunderbolt True Lord's brows furrowed slightly, he drew a deep breath, and his gaze never left Lu Yuan for a moment.

The talent and ability displayed by Lu Yuan made his heart surge with excitement.

The other cultivators gradually realized Thunderbolt True Lord's attention toward Lu Yuan, and they all exerted their utmost, hoping to display greater strength in this sparring match.

Time flew by, and in the fierce battle Lu Yuan employed the immortal arts he had learned, displaying superb combat skill and wisdom.

Each attack made the other cultivators involuntarily feel admiration and respect. (End of chapter)
