76 Chapter 76 Lightning Phoenix Egg (2/2)
Not only were beasts unable to reach this place even the fierce beasts from the skies wouldn't try to come over.
Zong Shou didn't bother with what was around him. After placing down Chuxue, he used the Wind Travelling Spiritual Bone to directly jump forwards several times before arriving in the center of this platform.
This area slightly caved in into a hundred-foot wide hotspring. The spring water flowed towards the right side and formed a waterfall.
Chuxue followed behind and stopped right beside Zong Shou. When the hotspring entered her eyes, she exclaimed, ”How is there a hot spring here?” She couldn't help but ask curiously, ”Young Master, why did you come here?”
Zong Shou's face had a serious expression, shaking his head but not replying, the glow in his eyes still really bright.
In his memory the fountain here should be a cold fountain, which was also why Chuxue was astonished. There was a natural water vein beneath this stone cliff, which was why water could gather up here.
And since this water was still warm, then that thing here should still be there.
If one followed normal logic, this item would be found by a Day Wandering spirit master ten years from now, after the spiritual energy flood started to affect the entire Cloud Continent. In just half a year it helped his sect develop an Ascended Ancestor.
That sect was destroyed early on in the future, and only some legends were left. Within Zong Shou's library there was also a copy which recorded this part of history.
He had once felt interested and come over in the game world to check it out. Naturally there wouldn't be such a thing in the game world.
The only thing he was worried about would be whether or not he could truly make use of the Lightning Phoenix egg within.
His breathing became slightly heavy and after a moment he broke out in a self-mocking laugh. This item was simply too important for him, which was why he went all out for it.
Taking a deep breath, he pulled Chuxue's hand and jumped into that hotspring without any hesitation.
Descending two hundred feet, Zong Shou's body moved upwards. The Pine Pattern Wind Sword suddenly came out of the sheath, gathering all the energy of his body, and struck out towards the side.
Because of the water, Zong Shou's energy was reduced by about seventy percent. Luckily that stone pillar wasn't tough and with just one touch of the sword, it collapsed to the side.
Zong Shou and Chuxue followed along the current and were wrapped up within. He stabilized his body with much difficulty and floated to the surface. They saw a three hundred foot wide cave in front of their eyes.
The cave was really dark, and they were unable to see anything. However the air here was really fresh, they should be another passage that connected this place directly to the cliff.
Zong Shou casually made a hand-sign, summoning a fist sized ember into his hand and lighting up this cave. Behind him, Chuxue took in a deep cold breath, looking calmly forwards.
In the middle of the cave was a giant purple egg, around five feet tall. Beside it was the eye of the spring, boiling and rumbling water all around. On the surface of the egg shell were many magical patterns, like lightning from a storm, making it look really unique.
Chuxue was rooted to the spot. On the other hand, Zong Shou's lips rose up slightly, ”You don't need to guess anymore, that is the Lightning Phoenix egg! However, ten thousand years have passed, and there is no life within. Even if we obtain an Allspirit Longevity Jade we wouldn't be able to hatch it…”
Chuxue took in a cold breath, her eyes open wide. A Desolate Era Lightning Phoenix was also one of the God Beasts. Even the Lightning Eagle, which inherited a tenth of its bloodline, was such a strong beast, really fierce and powerful. It was one of the dream Protector Spirit Beasts of spirit masters!
And the egg of such a God Beast was placed in front of her eyes. Even if she knew that it would be unable to hatch, it still stunned her and made her look out of sorts.
