Chapter 280: The Divine Beast Kunpeng

Thousands of Heaven and Earth Qi shifted, and the entire Heavenly Court Secret Realm seemed to tremble.

Boundless seas of clouds were drawn in within an instant; these cloud clusters were all condensed from the purest Heaven and Earth Power.

Chen Mo manifested a point of Yin-Yang True Gang, and as the Yin and Yang forces circulated, boundless Creation Vitality evolved from it.

This point of Creation Power merged into the Beast Egg, and the life force within it grew increasingly vigorous and strong.

Chen Mo immediately drew out more Yin-Yang True Gang, and thousands of strands of Creation Vitality were continuously evolved.

The life force within the Beast Egg became increasingly active, and the interior seemed like a heart beginning to beat incessantly.

On the surface of the eggshell, tiny cracks gradually emerged.

Chen Mo could feel the life force inside, wanting to break free from its shell and arrive in this new world outside.

He separated a wisp of power and snuck it into the interior of the Beast Egg to guide its birth and leave his own mark within its body.

In this way, when the life within was born, although he could not achieve complete control over it, he could still make it feel close to him and listen to his commands.

But wanting to learn to speak human language, even if it were a Divine Beast with high intelligence, was by no means an easy task.

Even if a Post-Heaven Martial Artist pushed their power to the limit, they could at most influence a dozen or so zhang of space.

Making a fierce bird speak human language is just like making a human speak bird language.

In the space of a single breath, the wings that had not yet fully grown instantly became full.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

To be more precise, speaking human language is not that easy; as for the language their race uses naturally, the fledgling bird mastered it from birth.

From their appearance, the difference between the two is not great, but if one traces the essence of their power, it is a world of difference.

The fledgling bird opened its large beak and took a light breath; a wisp of breeze swept by, and the eggshells were all swallowed into its mouth.

A Post-Heaven Martial Artist takes their own Inner Qi as the foundation.

Chen Mo wore a smile and tapped the fledgling bird's head, guiding it to continue breaking free from the shackles of the eggshell.

Chen Mo's eyes could not help but light up; a natural Divine Beast is truly extraordinary. Even just at birth, without any teaching, it is enough to drive some Bloodline Divine Abilities by relying solely on its own bloodline.

They can do it, but in most cases, they are unwilling to do so.

"Chirp! Chirp!" The fledgling bird chirped, its ignorant eyes unable to stop sizing up Chen Mo.

Not only that, from the movements it just made, it can also be seen that its mastery of its own power is extremely precise.

A bird head the size of a washbasin, covered in fine downy feathers, with pitch-black eyes filled with curiosity as it sized up this world, poked out from the Beast Egg.

And it must be willing to do so of its own accord; otherwise, even if Chen Mo taught it, he could at most make it understand human language, but whether it could speak would depend on its own willingness.

As it hatched, the Heaven and Earth Qi of the entire Heavenly Court Secret Realm gathered to assist in its birth.

The fledgling bird's wings were not scales, but wide, pale-gold feathers.

Especially since this Divine Beast came from the previous epoch, no one had ever taught it the language of the Human Race.

This is the strength of a natural Divine Beast; its bloodline is special, and its talent is also supreme.

The feathers were soft and gorgeous, and although it did not deliberately manifest it, there were still strands of miraculous light circulating.

The fledgling bird kept flapping its wings and kicking its legs, and the eggshell cracked at an even faster speed, shattering into pieces and scattering in just a moment.

For creatures with such special bloodlines, even just after birth, their spiritual intelligence surpasses that of the vast majority of creatures in the world.

Now, if it wants to learn the language of the Human Race, it can only rely on itself to do it slowly.

The originally dark eyes had also turned pale gold, just like its feathers.

Its body was one zhang tall, its wingspan was nearly four zhang wide, its head was like a washbasin, and its claws were like sharp arrows.

Although it looks like it has just broken out of its shell, the power it can actually mobilize is no less than that of a Supernatural Martial Artist.

In fact, besides the Human Race, the Demon Race and Spirit Race also possess their own languages.

He saw it clearly; this fledgling bird seemed to only take a light breath and did not use much power.

And if this fledgling bird were to fully mobilize its own power, the storm it could stir up would be enough to cover tens of thousands of miles.

As it devoured all the eggshells it had shed, the feathers on the fledgling bird's body were also undergoing a Mortal Transformation at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As for the specific situation, and whether it was the same as the Giant Scaled Eagle he encountered that day, he could not be certain.

Although its form had changed, it was still in its infancy after all; the fledgling bird hurried to Chen Mo's side, its eyes filled with curiosity as it sized up Chen Mo.

It could not speak; although its intelligence was not low, speaking was not that easy.

The cracks outside the Beast Egg became increasingly obvious, and the life force inside became increasingly active, trying to break free from its shackles at every moment.

The originally bald fledgling bird instantly turned into a true fierce bird.

And it is not the same race, but it is not difficult for it to learn and master the languages of other birds belonging to the Feather Race.

Chen Mo was not surprised by this; he had long expected that the creature gestating in this Beast Egg would inevitably be some kind of bird.

Time passed, and the Beast Egg began to truly crack, soon revealing a small opening.

What it did was not difficult, and a Martial Artist of the Post-Heaven Realm could do it, but the method used was different.

And the method this fledgling bird used was to invoke the Heavenly Law through its own Bloodline Divine Ability.

Unless they want to communicate with the Human Race, they use their own languages and scripts for internal communication.

"Come here." Chen Mo took out a Treasure Pearl and beckoned gently.

The fledgling bird could not understand human language, but it could understand Chen Mo's meaning, and it could smell the fragrance emanating from the Treasure Pearl.

The divine liquid inside the Treasure Gourd was the Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow obtained previously; these divine liquids were all left behind by experts of the previous epoch.

The purpose was to allow the Martial Artist who brought the Beast Egg out of the Return Ruins to better nourish the fledgling bird until it could hunt normally.

Chen Mo took a mass of Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow from the Treasure Pearl; this treasure contained thousands of mysteries and had the ability to enhance one's bloodline.

If he were not of the Demon Race and did not need this item, Chen Mo might have already used the Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow to refine his own bloodline.

The fledgling bird's eyes were eager as it kept flapping its wings; looking at the Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow floating in the air, it did not rush to eat it, but instead frequently sized up Chen Mo with its gaze.

Its intelligence is not weak, and for it to have been hatched safely all the way, it had already been marked by Chen Mo from the inside out.

Naturally, it is now quite close and submissive to Chen Mo; with food before its eyes, whether or not to eat still depends on Chen Mo's will.

"Go ahead." Chen Mo wore a smile and waved his hand lightly.

The fledgling understood his meaning, flapped its wings, flew high into the air, and swallowed the Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow in large gulps.

Its body was not large, yet its appetite seemed to connect to another space.

Chen Mo knew that after a Divine Beast of this bloodline was born, it often needed to consume a large amount of food.

Yet the fledgling's appetite still exceeded his imagination somewhat; the volume of Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow he had taken out was more than ten times the size of the fledgling, and its weight was even harder to estimate.

However, in less than half a stick of incense's time, this food had been devoured completely.

The fledgling's body had not expanded, but its belly was round and bulging, like an inflated balloon.

It flapped its wings, wanting to swallow more Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow, yet it could no longer ascend to the high air.

But this did not stump it; the wonders of its Bloodline Divine Ability were immediately triggered.

Chen Mo, however, directly put away the remaining Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow; he had never raised a Divine Beast, but judging from the current situation, the newly born fledgling certainly could not eat any more.

At the very least, it had to digest all the stock in its belly before it could eat again.

"Chirp! Chirp!" The fledgling chirped, its tone very aggrieved, and a pair of eyes swirling with pale gold also looked pitifully at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo naturally did not understand its language, but he could naturally see its meaning.

"No." Chen Mo's tone was a firm refusal, while simultaneously transmitting his voice via divine sense.

Communicating via divine sense is the most convenient, but it is also limited to being used here.

Once in the outside world, even Chen Mo would not easily use the method of divine sense transmission.

Hearing the sound, the fledgling's mood instantly dropped; even if it was intelligent, it had just been born after all, its spirituality budding, and this was the first time it had begun to observe this world.

In terms of its intellect, it was likely not much different from an ordinary young child.

Chen Mo's divine sense, however, delved deeper into its body; since the fledgling had hatched, he should further investigate it.

Understanding the source of its bloodline would also reveal how it should cultivate.

Although Divine Beasts do not cultivate, as long as they simply live and stimulate their bloodline power bit by bit, they can also increase their strength.

Yet proper cultivation and the supplementation of sufficient heavenly treasures can strengthen its bloodline power and allow it to achieve greater heights.

In this way, he could not only learn the name of its bloodline but also allow it to cultivate and improve its cultivation base as quickly as possible.

Beyond this, Chen Mo used his divine sense, which had delved into the fledgling, to communicate with it.

He could also set some rules for it; these rules were extremely important.

The fledgling did not need to understand them, but it only needed to follow them.

Otherwise, relying on its bloodline power, once it rashly left the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, the Return Ruins would erode it in an instant.

Relying on its power, it would absolutely be enough to stir up a small deep-sea storm within the Xuantian World.

Such a situation, Chen Mo naturally could not allow to happen.

Therefore, he had to strictly restrict it to ensure that before it grew up, no problems would occur.

The fledgling's bloodline came from the previous epoch, but its bloodline inheritance came from an even more distant era.

Even until this epoch, this bloodline has circulated between heaven and earth.

The name of its bloodline is called Kunpeng.

The Kunpeng is a beast of the North Nether; when it enters the sea, it is a Kun, and when it leaves the sea and transforms into a bird, it is a Peng.

This Divine Beast is skilled in the Dao of spatial transformation and is even more proficient in the methods of combat; its combat power is peerless among the same realm.

This bloodline has circulated for a very long time, even capable of surviving multiple epochs.

At the end of an epoch, although the Wind of the Return Ruins will blow and destroy everything in the world, even many powerful Great Abilities cannot escape it.

But this does not mean that the Return Ruins will completely destroy everything.

There are always things that can withstand the Wind of the Return Ruins and remain to be passed on to the next epoch.

For example, the Human Race, and for example, this Divine Beast bloodline of the Kunpeng.

There are always powerful beings who can find ways to let it be passed down.

Until this epoch, there are still Kunpeng in the world, but their numbers are very few.

According to what Chen Mo knows, there are only two Kunpeng left in the world today, and they are both currently in Ju Hai City.

The Kunpeng bloodline is inherently special and miraculous, and it is extremely difficult to propagate.

Coupled with the invasion of the Mirage Sea in this epoch, many Kunpeng cubs died tragically under the erosion of the Mirage Sea before they were even born.

The number of the Kunpeng bloodline is relatively even rarer.

The name of this Kunpeng cub is Kun Qi, meaning it is the seventh cub born within this bloodline.

The cultivation method of the Kunpeng is different from that of the Human Race; it mainly involves excavating its own bloodline power and mastering the mysteries of space.

But that is what a Kunpeng will do after passing its growth period; what Kun Qi needs to do now is to cultivate the Way of transformation.

To make its body grow as much as possible, excavate its own bloodline power, eat more, and grow more.

There is no difficulty in this; Chen Mo has plenty of Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow accumulated in his hands, enough to feed it.

After inspecting Kun Qi's bloodline, Chen Mo began to communicate with it in detail using his divine sense, while simultaneously setting rules for it.

He forbade it from leaving the Heavenly Court Secret Realm easily; no matter what it was doing, even cultivation was only allowed to be carried out within the Heavenly Court Secret Realm.

In addition, if it encountered unknown situations or felt other sounds ringing in its ears, it was to immediately come to the Main Hall.

Even within the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, Chen Mo could not guarantee that no accidents would occur.

But the Main Hall of the Heavenly Court Secret Realm houses the Creation Divine Pool; with such an ancient wonder protecting it, unless a creature of the Mirage Sea truly breaks into the Cangxuan World.

Otherwise, as long as Kun Qi hides here, it can be called absolutely safe.

Finally, he told it not to hurt people easily, unless someone attacks it first.

There are still many Martial Artists coming and going within the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, and these Martial Artists are not bad in strength.

Compared to Kun Qi, the gap is truly too vast.

These conditions are not complicated; they are merely to restrain it.

Chen Mo currently has no way to easily explain the matter of the Mirage Sea to it, so he can only tell it that there is an extremely powerful creature in the outside world that specializes in preying on Kunpeng.

If it were to leave the Heavenly Court Secret Realm alone, it would inevitably fall into its mouth.

This can only deceive it for a time, but it is already enough; once it grows up, the matter of the Mirage Sea can be slowly explained in detail.

Immediately after, Chen Mo taught it a method for cultivating divine sense.

But rather than calling it cultivating divine sense, it is more like strengthening its Shenhai.

Having a tyrannical divine sense is not a good thing in this era, but the Shenhai is different.

A strong Shenhai can better protect a Martial Artist's divine sense and can further isolate the erosion of the Mirage Sea upon oneself.

As long as Kun Qi cultivates this method steadily, it will not take long before it can roam freely between heaven and earth.

Not only that, its strength increases quickly enough; once it reaches the True Intent Realm, he can even attempt to take it to Ju Hai City to become his own aid.

The bloodline of such a Divine Beast is special; even if it does nothing, the speed at which its cultivation increases is likely unimaginably fast.

After carefully transmitting all the information one by one, Kun Qi was already unable to restrain itself; having just been born, it was truly too curious about this world and was anxious to go explore everywhere.

Chen Mo did not stop it; Kun Qi flapped its wings, using the profoundness of its own laws to draw upon the power of the flowing Wind of heaven and earth, and only then did it shakily fly up.

But its speed was very slow, or rather, the weight of the Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow it swallowed was too heavy.

One drop of Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow weighs ten thousand jun, and the amount Kun Qi swallowed is difficult to calculate precisely.

It is at least hundreds of millions of drops; that it has not died after swallowing such a weight of Mysterious Origin Divine Marrow is enough to show its special bloodline.

After flying for nearly a quarter of an hour, it finally managed to arrive before the gate of the Main Hall of the Heavenly Court Secret Realm.

Chen Mo did not immediately demand that it practice; he had never raised a Kunpeng, but he roughly understood that such a Divine Beast, at the moment of its birth, does not yet have the ability to cultivate its bloodline power in the short term.

The two most important things for Kun Qi right now are eating and sleeping.

By doing these two things well, its cultivation can become higher step by step.

Besides that, he only needs to set aside some more time to teach it to cultivate its Shenhai.

After flying for another short quarter of an hour, Kun Qi finally arrived at the outside world, and its speed had also become faster; it had already converted a portion of the power within its body into its own nourishment.

Chen Mo did not go to observe it closely anymore; Zhao Yu had finished her cultivation and come out of seclusion, so he should go see her.
