Chapter 15 – Cloud Beast, Secret Realm
Xu Yang’s fingers tapped on this oval-shaped object with a special rhythm.
Just now, the moment he saw this object, Xu Yang recognized it.
It was a divine egg, a means for some demonic beasts with powerful bloodlines to seal their young in times of crisis.
The reason why he could recognize it was because 70,000 years ago, Xu Yang had a demonic beast mount that had hatched out from the divine egg.
That demonic beast mount had accompanied Xu Yang for thousands of years, and finally died of old age in front of Xu Yang.
Just now, as soon as he saw this divine egg on the auction table, Xu Yang thought of his own former mount.
So he moved to have Ling Qingshu bid on this divine egg.
With the infusion of true qi within Xu Yang’s body, the halo of light that emerged on the divine egg was flickering in rhythm with the tapping of Xu Yang’s fingers, and slowly, there began to be movement amongst the divine egg as well.
A sound similar to a heartbeat came out from the divine egg, resonating with Xu Yang’s finger tapping.
Hearing this sound, Xu Yang smiled faintly, knowing that this divine egg had already been awakened by him.
As expected, in the next moment, a small claw directly poked out from amongst the divine egg, before revealing a small furry head.
After this little beast pierced the exterior of the divine egg with its claws, the divine egg in Xu Yang’s hand turned into a mass of liquid, and all of it entered the body of this little beast, Xu Yang was not surprised by this situation, the shell of the divine egg was not only a protection for the demonic beasts inside, but also a kind of inheritance.
When the liquid that the divine egg’s shell had turned into had completely entered the little beast’s body, Xu Yang lifted the little beast in front of him.
”So it’s a cloud beast, I don’t know how many years it’s been in the middle of the divine egg, its life breath was dying out earlier.”
Hearing Xu Yang’s words, Ling Qingshu captured a very crucial piece of information.
Cloud Beast, in Ling Qingshu’s memory, in the Heavenly Lan Sect’s clan texts.
It seemed to be a record about this kind of demonic beast.
Cloud beasts, with the ability to soar through the clouds, feeding on clouds and mist ……
This was the few records that Ling Qingshu remembered, and what she remembered most was that the only word used to describe the Cloud Beast in that book was terrifying.
This kind of demonic beast, after reaching adulthood, at least has the combat power of the YuanYing realm.
YuanYing realm, even though Ling Qingshu had now broken through to the Jindan realm, YuanYing realm was still too far away for her.
She currently could not see any signs of the YuanYing Realm, and the road ahead could be said to be a blank slate.
And now that Cloud Beast in Xu Yang’s hands, as long as it grew to adulthood, it would naturally have the combat power of the YuanYing Realm.
How could this not make Ling Qingshu feel unfair, at the same time, she was also amazed at Elder Ancestor Xu’s insight to be able to buy a Cloud Beast at this kind of auction.
After Xu Yang teased the Cloud Beast twice, he took out a spirit stone and placed it in the mouth of the Cloud Beast.
This kind of demonic beast, could not just look at swallowing clouds and living, aura was also an essential part.
The auction for the last item under the field had already come to an end, the last item was a magic treasure greatsword.
For the sake of this magic treasure sword, there were already several forces bidding one after another, and each family was red in the face.
Xu Yang and Ling Qingshu were watching these people’s bickering, but did not bother to get involved.
It was because Xu Yang’s own Life Protector Sword was one of the top spiritual treasures in the world today.
And Ling Qingshu was the one who used the sword, and her sword was of an okay grade, so naturally it was impossible to throw down her sword to buy a great sword.
In the end, this long knife was bought by the Fang family in the middle of Qi Zhou City, and when he heard the voice of that offer, Xu Yang felt a bit amused.
Because that voice Xu Yang recognized, is earlier in the second floor to rob him spirit grass that youth.
It was reasonable to say that this auction should have ended when the last item was sold, but that was not the case.
That Foundation Establishment cultivator re-stepped onto the auction stage and spoke.
”Today um the auction has ended, but our Spirit Treasure Auction House has one more thing to discuss with you all, I hope you will bear with me.”
Hearing this, some people cursed and said that the Spirit Treasure Auction House was delaying, and some people directly asked the Foundation Establishment Cultivator what exactly was the matter.
But in truth, everyone was wondering what kind of medicine the Spirit Treasure Auction House was selling in its gourd and why.
By the time the person from the Spirit Treasure Auction House came on stage once more, this time it was no longer that Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
The one who came on stage was a middle-aged cultivator, and looking at the aura on his body, mid-Jindan.
When a mid-Jindan cultivator came on stage to speak, he naturally subdued the previous clamor.
This mid-Jindan cultivator swept his eyes around, and then rested on the curtain of the box to stare at the people in the box.
”Everyone, to be able to participate in this gang of auctions today, it means that all of you are characters of extraordinary strength in the boundaries of Qi Prefecture.”
As soon as these words were spoken, they lifted the crowd present in a not-so-low position.
”This time, our Spirit Treasure Auction House does have another purpose for organizing the auction, and that purpose is closely related to all of you as well.
Some days ago, we discovered a secret realm at the border of Qi Prefecture.”
Secret realm, as soon as these two words were uttered, they set off an uproar.
A new secret realm represented too many things.
Inheritances, techniques, pills, magic treasures, spirit stones, all of these were able to be found amongst the secret realm.
In the history of the cultivation world, there was absolutely no shortage of examples of people who had gained great fortune in a secret realm and then soared to great heights.
Therefore, throughout the ages, every time a new secret realm appeared, it would attract many cultivators to flock to it.
The reason for this was to compete for the opportunities in the secret realm and take themselves to the next level.
”Our Spirit Treasure Auction House found this new secret realm, which should be the ruins of a certain ancient sect.
However, because our branch strength is limited, it is not enough to explore this secret realm, so I decided to share the secret realm.”
”Where is this secret realm?
Your Spirit Treasure Auction House won’t be so kind!”
Among the cultivators, there were naturally those who hadn’t been drowned out by the words “secret realm”, and the moment they opened their mouths, they asked to the point.
”We only need one thing in the secret realm, after we get that thing, our Spirit Treasure Auction House will withdraw from the exploration of the secret realm, and will definitely not intervene to interfere with you all.”
The Jindan cultivator had obviously considered this kind of problem a long time ago, and put the purpose of his Spiritual Treasure Auction House directly on the table.
”We will be responsible for bringing you all into the secret realm, and we will also tell you the general situation in the secret realm.
Even after you come out, your harvests in the secret realm can be brought to our Spiritual Treasure Auction House for exchange if you need them.”
After laying it out on the table, things were very clear.
This was a Spiritual Treasure Auction House that wanted to use the power of a group of cultivators to fulfill its purpose of taking one thing from the secret realm.
Everyone understood this reasoning, but under the lure of the secret realm, everyone seemed to have chosen to let the Spirit Treasure Auction House take advantage of it.
After all, a secret realm was really too rare.
