In Qianshan City, outside a huge luxurious manor with a single courtyard, more than a hundred Houtian Realm Level Eight and above cultivators were carefully on guard. They were the most outstanding Houtian cultivators in the Qianshan Sect. They were usually the core figures in the sect, but at this time, they had become the most ordinary guards. However, they weren't dissatisfied because of this. Instead, each of them puffed out their chests and were full of energy. Their eagle-like eyes revealed a sharp gaze, and their bodies were overflowing with a fierce aura.
This courtyard was the residence that the Huo Family had carefully prepared for He Yiming and Chu Haozhou. Construction had started six years ago when He Yiming and the others left the island. It took three years to complete the luxurious courtyard two years ago.
During this construction process, not only did the Huo Family go all out, but even the Qianshan Sect also cooperated. They didn't dare to make things difficult for them.
Although everyone knew that this place might not be used many times even if it was built, no one dared to say anything about it from the beginning to the end. This was the effect of powerful martial arts. After possessing awe-inspiring strength, some things didn't need to be considered at all. There would be people who would consider everything for you without leaving anything out.
In the manor, He Yiming browsed through it slightly and was very satisfied.
The craftsmanship of the craftsmen on Penglai Immortal Island seemed to be a level higher than that of the mainland. Although it was impossible to build an ancient building that was more solemn than the Grand Hall of Divine Wind and the Blessed Enclave, it was definitely not inferior in terms of exquisiteness and comfort.
After sitting down in the main hall, He Yiming went straight to the point. "Sect Leader Zhan, the Huo Family bought a strange item at this year's Qianshan Annual Gathering. I heard that you've seen it before."
Zhan Hongtu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, I've seen it before."
In the past, when he faced He Yiming, he was already extremely respectful. Now, he was even more respectful and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. After all, He Yiming's identity now had a huge change compared to six years ago.
The powerful legendary Supreme Dao powerhouses only needed to extend a little finger to kill him. Even the entire Qian Mountain Sect was probably just a nest of ants in the eyes of the other party. Towards this kind of powerful figure who could easily decide the life and death of a sect, no matter how careful he was, it would not be too much.
He Yiming nodded slightly and said, "What do you think of that thing?"
A bitter smile appeared on Zhan Hongtu's face. He said, "Divine Lord He, I've checked it before, but I can't be sure what it is."
He Yiming raised the teacup in front of him and took a sip. He didn't know where the tea leaves came from, but when he drank it, his mouth was immediately filled with a fragrant aroma, causing him to feel refreshed.
He Yiming gently put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Since Clan Master Zhan knows nothing, why did you suggest Huo Hongsheng and the others to send this item to my He Clan Manor?" He paused for a moment, and then continued, "You said that perhaps a Supreme Dao elite would be interested in this thing, what's the reason for this?"
Zhan Hongtu complained incessantly in his heart. He sighed inwardly, thinking that if he spoke too much, he would definitely make mistakes. He really shouldn't have said it back then. However, if he didn't say it, how would Huo Hongsheng and the others be willing to send this thing away?
He Yiming chuckled and said, "Clan Master Zhan, could it be that there's something that you can't say?"
Zhan Hongtu waved his hand and said, "Divine Lord He, please forgive me, I'm indeed a little selfish." He bowed deeply and said sincerely, "I've appraised this item before, and I sensed that there seems to be a trace of weak life force in this item. If I'm not wrong, this should be an egg laid by some kind of creature. "
He Yiming's eyes flashed with surprise. The reason why they could determine that this was a creature's egg was due to 108's X-ray vision. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to be so sure. However, Zhan Hongtu was able to determine this just by sensing the life force. This old man's many years of experience were indeed impressive.
"What kind of animal's egg is this?" He Yiming asked in a deep voice.
Zhan Hongtu hurriedly shook his head as if he was afraid that He Yiming would misunderstand if he was too slow.
"Divine Lord He, our Qian Mountain Sect has been established in the Eastern Sea for close to a thousand years. There are countless ancient books in the sect, and they have detailed descriptions and records of all kinds of powerful creatures in the Eastern Sea. There's even quite a lot of information about the Black Shark King. However, I've searched through the entire ancient book, but I couldn't find the origin of this egg at all. "Zhan Hongtu sighed and said helplessly.
He Yiming nodded slightly. There were so many spirit beasts in the world, so it was naturally impossible for a mere Qian Mountain Sect to know all of them. However, since even the local tyrant of the Eastern Sea didn't know, this item was probably not an egg from the Eastern Sea.
"Since you don't know anything about this, why did you send this item to the He Family Manor?" He Yiming asked seriously.
Zhan Hongtu's expression suddenly became a little awkward. He said carefully, "When I was inspecting this egg, although I felt that the life force in the egg was extremely weak, this egg gave me a very terrifying feeling."
He Yiming raised his eyebrows slightly. He immediately recalled the situation of the egg when he sensed it.
Although the life force was weak, it had a powerful potential. Although He Yiming, who had already ascended to the Supreme Dao, could not be called terrifying, Zhan Hongtu's martial cultivation was only at the level of a Venerable. He had a completely different feeling when he sensed that weak aura.
"Divine Lord He, I reckon that the origin of this egg is mysterious. Perhaps it's a divine egg laid by some divine beast in the sea. If this item is in the hands of a Supreme Dao elite like you, perhaps you can cultivate a divine beast guardian for your sect or family. However, if it's in the hands of our Qian Mountain Sect … "Zhan Hongtu paused for a moment. His smile became even more bitter," If the parents of this egg don't come looking for us, then it's naturally a great fortune. However, if they really do come looking for us, then I'm afraid our sect will not be able to escape this catastrophe. "
He Yiming suddenly realized why Zhan Hongtu was not tempted at all. He even lured the Huo Family to send this item to the He Family Manor from thousands of miles away.
If this egg was really laid by a divine beast, then no matter how far away they were, there would be a mysterious connection between them. If Zhan Hongtu really collected it out of a moment of greed, then what awaited the Qian Mountain Sect might not be a blessing.
His evaluation of this old man increased. He was decisive and not greedy. Under his leadership, Qian Mountain Sect might not be able to develop into a great existence like Grand Divine Wind Palace, but it should not be a problem for it to be passed down steadily. Qian Mountain Sect might not be able to develop into a great existence like Grand Divine Wind Palace, but it should not be a problem for it to be passed down steadily.
"I'll take this egg." He Yiming collected his thoughts and said, "Where did you find it?"
Zhan Hongtu heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He hurriedly said, "The Leng Brothers found it when they were cultivating at sea."
"The Leng Brothers?" He Yiming pondered for a moment and said, "You mean the Leng Brothers who found the three-thousand-year-old pearl."
"Yes, it's them. So you still remember them. If they know, they will definitely be grateful." Zhan Hongtu said respectfully.
He Yiming laughed involuntarily and said, "The Leng Brothers are quite lucky." He pondered for a moment and said, "Find them. I want to see where this egg came from."
Zhan Hongtu was slightly stunned. He did not understand why He Yiming was so cautious. However, he did not dare to stop him and hurriedly gave the order to find the Leng Brothers.
The Leng Brothers were famous Inborn experts on the surrounding islands. Even the Qian Mountain Sect was polite to them during normal times. However, when they heard He Yiming's summon, they immediately rushed over without hesitation. Even if they were three times more courageous, they would not dare to put on airs in front of a Supreme Dao expert.
After a day, He Yiming and the others boarded a medium-sized ship and arrived at the sea.
After traveling for half a day, the Leng Brothers pointed at a certain sea area and said carefully, "Sir God He, we were cultivating martial arts in the sea when we saw this thing floating over from the sea. This thing is quite strange. Within a hundred feet of it, there are no fishes at all. Even some overlords in the sea would turn around and flee when they get close to it. Therefore, we caught it and brought it to the city to sell. "
"How long have you obtained this thing?"
"Just about a month ago."
The Leng Brothers were nervous. If they had known that this thing would attract the attention of a Supreme Dao expert, they would not have dared to touch it even if they were to kill them. However, it was too late for regrets now.
He Yiming frowned slightly. Since it had drifted over from the sea, it meant that they had lost track of it. Above this vast sea, no matter how great He Yiming's ability was, he could forget about finding the source.
He looked at Baozhu and 108 with a trace of expectation. Perhaps they could see something from it. However, He Yiming was soon disappointed. Facing the vast and boundless sea, they clearly did not have any good ideas.
Helpless, the fleet turned around and headed towards Penglai Immortal Island.
However, not long after the fleet left, a figure slowly rose from the sea. He muttered softly, "It's really strange. He Yiming actually came here? It seems that this egg does not need to be sent to the mainland. Hehe … Could it be that even the God of Light is helping me? "
He retracted his aura and did not leak it at all. Even He Yiming and the others did not sense it at all.
He dived into the water and snuck into Penglai Immortal Island at a speed a hundred times faster than the ship. The heavily guarded courtyard was simply uninhabited to him.
He easily found the wooden box. He reached out his hand and stroked the eggshell for a moment. Waves of mysterious power flowed into it. Then, he laughed coldly and turned around to leave. From the beginning to the end, no one noticed his tracks. He Yiming and the others who were far away on the ship were even more at a loss.
However, a moment later, the eggshell began to release a large amount of a strange power. This power had been suppressed all this time, and it was only now that it was completely released and officially released.
Two days later, a huge divine beast soaring in the sky suddenly seemed to have sensed something. It hovered in the air for a long time before finally deciding on a direction. It flapped its huge wings and drew a long line in the sky. In an instant, it disappeared …
