Duan Yun quickly followed, and stopped beside Qin Lie. His gaze swept across the hot spring below him and he immediately exclaimed, ”Why is there a hot spring here?” He revealed a curious expression, ”Brother Qin, what are you doing here?”
Qin Lie shook his head, he did not reply, as though he was waiting for something, the light in his eyes flickered uncertainly.
Directly below the hot spring stone wall, there was a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Vein that had gathered a large amount of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. As for the water right now, since it was still warm, then the thing inside should still be there.
At that moment, the only thing Qin Lie was worried about was whether the Egg of The Thunder Luan in the spa could really be activated as he wished. His breathing became heavy, and after a moment, Qin Lie laughed at himself. This item was simply too important to him. He couldn't help but worry about the gains and losses.
After he secretly exhaled, Qin Lie suddenly pulled Duan Yun's arm, and his figure suddenly flickered as he jumped into the hot spring. Only after sinking sixty meters did Qin Lie fiercely drill his way up. The Pine Ripple Wind Sword was also suddenly unsheathed. Gathering all of the strength in his body, he thrust his sword out to the side.
Under the hindrance of the enormous water current, the power of Qin Lie's slash had been reduced by a total of fifty percent. Fortunately, the stone wall beside him was not very solid. When the tip of the sword touched it, it would collapse to the side.
Qin Lie and Duan Yun were also swept into the surging water. With great difficulty, he stabilized his body and floated to the surface of the water. In front of him was a small cave that was about three hundred feet wide. The cave was dark and he couldn't see anything. However, the air was still very fresh. There must be another passage that connected this place to the outside of the cliff.
Qin Lie then formed a hand seal and summoned a fist-sized ball of flame into his hand, illuminating the cave. After that, Duan Yun sucked in a breath of cold air. He looked straight ahead.
In the center of the cave stood a purple egg. It was more than five meters tall, and was actually the mouth of the hot spring. It was surrounded by boiling water. As for the surface of the eggshell, it was completely covered with strange veined patterns. It was like lightning in a thunderstorm.
Duan Yun's entire being froze in place, and the corner of Qin Lie's lips slightly rose: ”No need to guess, this is that Egg of The Thunder Luan! However, tens of thousands of years had passed and there was no longer any life left inside. Even if we were to obtain that Myriad Spirit Jade, it would be impossible for it to hatch — ”
”Is it really a Egg of The Thunder Luan?”
Duan Yun sucked in a breath of cold air, and his eyes widened to the extreme. Ancient Desolation Thunder Luan, that was also one of the Divine Beasts. Even the descendant of the Thunder Hawk, who only inherited a tenth of its bloodline, was currently an incomparably tyrannical fierce bird with an extremely formidable might. It was one of the mounts that the Profound Arts Master had been looking for ever since they came to this world.
At this moment, the Divine Beasts's egg was placed right in front of her. Even though he knew that it was impossible for him to hatch, it was still shocking.
Qin Lie's heart was also in turmoil, he was used to seeing all sorts of treasures in the future. In comparison, although this Egg of The Thunder Luan was precious, it was actually nothing.
His eyes were burning with passion as he glanced at the giant egg. Qin Lie secretly sighed with emotion. When the Thunder Luan of Ancient Desolation was concealing its descendant, it was indeed careful and hidden enough.
If one was hiding in this place, even if one was in the nurturing of their soul, it would be extremely difficult for a Profound Arts Master that could travel the world without paying attention to it to detect it.
If not for the fact that that expert from a foreign race had fallen right at this place, the Thunder Luan in the egg would have broken out of it three thousand years ago.
The heavens did not want this bird to appear, so he took it for himself!
He took out another medicine bottle from his sleeve. This time, he didn't just apply it directly. He first took off his outer robes and used a willow leaf Practitioner Blade to draw streaks of blood on his body. As for the unreachable back, he directly gave it to the Xiao Jin, and used his mind control to 'carve' it on his back. It was about half a centimeter deep, and traces of blood dripped down his body.
The blood traces vaguely corresponded to the meridians in his body, but they also seemed to be indistinct. Duan Yun's face paled when he saw this, and he wanted to open his mouth to urge her otherwise. However, he also knew that at this moment, it was obvious that there was a Glyph Array carved on his body. If they were to rashly disturb him, it would instead harm Qin Lie.
It took a full hour before the faint outline of the blood traces could be seen. 's four limbs and abdomen, just happened to be in the shape of four Thunder Luan. The tip of its beak was right at the center of Qin Lie's Qi Sea. Winding up Qin Lie's body, they could be split into countless small Soul Glyphs s and branch Glyph Array s.
There was a similar small pattern on its forehead, like a Thunder Luan. It was spreading its wings and flying high in the sky, while its tail was connecting with its body, forming a complete body.
Only a thumb-sized hole was left on his forehead.
When all the runes had been drawn. Qin Lie washed off all the blood on his body along with the hot spring water. Only then did he take out the medicinal liquid and apply it to the wounds.
The deep purple made Qin Lie's entire body add on a layer of strange temperament, which also gave his a very gorgeous and beautiful feeling.
In a short while, all the wounds turned purple. As for the four, one, and five Thunder Luan, they were even more agile and lifelike. In the next moment, it seemed as if it would fly away from him at any moment.
Qin Lie's expression became more solemn. According to the memories, this was the Spirit Nurturing Realm Profound Arts Master. With the power of the entire sect, it took half a year before this Egg of The Thunder Luan was refined into a pill and handed to the disciple to consume.
It was impossible for him to have such conditions at this moment. The only things he could rely on were the Divine Purgatory Diagram and the Ancient Dragon And Elephant Conjuration!
”I would like to trouble Big Brother Duan Yun to protect me! If I do not succeed, you should leave this place as soon as possible! ”
Without waiting for Duan Yun to react, Qin Lie had already walked over to the giant egg. He hesitated for only a moment before suddenly pointing a finger at the top side of the egg shell.
It was as hard as steel. It was scorching hot again, and there were faint traces of electric currents spreading out.
But when Qin Lie activated the Ancient Dragon And Elephant Conjuration. The eggshell rapidly softened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within seconds, the finger had pierced into the egg.
In the next moment, an enormous purple current suddenly surged out. It followed the trajectory of Qin Lie's arm and charged upwards. Following the 'zi zi' sound, a scorching smell came from the surface of his skin.
It should have immediately exploded his body into pieces. But when they passed through his body, they all went back into the Thunder Luan s.
Qin Lie's body trembled, not only was his entire body numb, the deep purple electric light surrounded his body again and again. On the tip of his fingers, balls of pure Innate Elemental Energy surged in like a torrential river. It was as if there were no limits to it as it poured into his meridians.
After a while, Qin Lie gradually got on the tiger's back and struggled. The Great Art of Heaven-Devouring Essence Transformation could not be stopped even if he wanted to. He could only allow it to flow in and surge within his body.
The wounds on his body were rapidly healing. Seal all of the purple lightning into it. Similarly, all the Egg of The Thunder Luan's essence that was forcefully sucked over was sealed within his body.
When Duan Yun saw this, he trembled with fear, even though the initial purple light of the lightning had already faded. However, the bloody scars only grew more and more ferocious, and they constantly twisted and protruded outwards. It was as if there was something squirming and struggling within.
He took a step forward and subconsciously stepped back. He didn't dare to touch it.
