Chapter 209 - Pure-blooded Ferocious Beast?
In the following period of time, Su Zimo resumed his usual cultivation habits.
He spent part of his days on raising his cultivation realm but most of it was spent on weapon refinement studies.
Come nighttime, Su Zimo would lock his cave abode and activate his formation to begin demonic cultivation and Organs Refinement.
Because Organs Refinement would produce an endless stream of rich demonic qi, the formation was used to prevent outsiders from entering as well as to conceal the aura within the cave abode.
In the morning of the next day, the demonic qi would be absorbed by Su Zimo entirely.
For those past few days, monkey, spirit tiger and little crane took turns around the demon beast egg.
After monkey incubated it for 10 hours, it was little crane’s turn.
Every day, when it was late at night, they left a miserable four hours for the spirit tiger.
These people were all the top cultivators of Ethereal Peak!
The initially spacious cave abode became evidently crowded after these people arrived.
Monkey, spirit demon and little crane sat down in three directions, maintaining the same distance between them and the egg while protecting it in the middle.
Su Zimo was squeezed out of the crowd.
If it was just the hatching of an ordinary demon beast, there wouldn’t be this many people paying attention to it.
However, all of them had heard that this demon beast egg was retrieved from a ruin. Furthermore, there were many obscure and complicated patterns etched on the shell!
This was something worthy of everyone’s attention.
“Yes… those patterns are indeed mysterious. Even with my experience, I can’t tell what those patterns are,” A Nascent Soul old man stared at the demon beast egg for a long time before saying slowly.
An old woman frowned and said, “It seems to be some sort of a heritage.”
“Seems like this demon beast has quite a powerful background. It’s not simple,” Someone else nodded in agreement.
Right then, that initially shaking demon beast egg came to a sudden stop, drawing everyone’s attention.
The masses held their breaths.
There was complete silence in the cave abode such that one could hear a pin drop.
Crack!
There was a crisp sound.
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
A faint crack had appeared on the demon beast egg.
After a short pause…
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A series of sounds came from the surface of the demon beast egg.
In the blink of an eye, three more cracks appeared on the shell. The sounds became clearer as tiny cracks spread around the entire egg densely.
All of a sudden!
Piak!
A tiny hole broke at the top of the egg.
Peeling away the shell bit by bit, a pitch black talon was the first to be seen.
The eyes of Senior crane’s human form, the redheaded beauty, dimmed slightly in disappointment.
Sect Master Ling Yun frowned and sighed lightly.
Some of the Nascent Soul grand elders also sent their spirit consciousness to check outside the cave abode. They retracted their spirit consciousness upon discovering that there was no abnormality.
It was very calm outside without any signs of a universal phenomenon happening.
This meant that the demon beast before them had nothing to do with a pure-blooded ferocious beast.
The many grand elders shook their heads.
They had come to see if a pure-blooded ferocious beast could be produced.
If it was a pure-blooded ferocious beast, that would be the biggest thing that had happened in the sect for thousands of years!
Alas…
Everyone had arrived excitedly only to be disappointed.
