Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 618 - 71: Dream of Breaking the Shell

"Actually, it's not difficult. You've already met the two most demanding conditions."

Fairy Maotuan stared at the egg and said, "This egg, you said you obtained it from the ruins of the Immortal Palace, then it should have undergone modification by the Immortal Palace, or it could be a hybrid breed. In any case, I can't tell what original race it is."

"I must emphasize again, I do not guarantee success. If it fails, and you end up with nothing, you can't blame me."

"Please go on, senior."

"The most demanding condition, of course, is obtaining this egg, and the second demanding condition is that this egg must hatch in a place with remnants of saint force!"

"In the Immortal Realm, although the saint tribe is extinct, the celestial artifacts refined by the saint tribe or the secret realm relics left behind still contain a certain amount of saint force. You're quite fortunate; this continent has a faint saint force, enough to barely meet the conditions to transform it."

Lin Jing nodded, indeed lucky.

"Then, I'll teach you an array and a spell. Once you master them, it's essentially done. This array works similarly to the Spirit Gathering Array; it can concentrate the saint force in one area to nourish the pet beast egg."

"The other spell requires you to stay by the egg at all times, following the spell's operation route to establish its Foundation and channel the Holy Power into the egg!"

"Wait a moment." Lin Jing frowned.

"Senior, you mentioned concentrating the saint force in this area, channeling it into the egg to establish its Foundation. Does this consume the original remnants of saint force on Pangu Continent, leading to the depletion of saint force here and rendering it unable to resist the demon tribe?"

If that's the case, Pangu Continent would no longer be a paradise for the Cultivation Alliance.

Without the suppression of saint force, the six great demon generals might invade Pangu Continent immediately.

One can't just join the Beast Taming Sect, then have it sealed, join an academy, then have it closed, now join the Cultivation Alliance only for it to be forced to disband, right?

"You don't need to worry about that." Fairy Maotuan dispelled Lin Jing's doubts. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Not much saint force is needed. It's not a saint tribe member, and it's just an egg, it can't withstand too much saint force. Saint force is not like Immortal Power, which can be universally absorbed by all tribes, perfectly matching them. Saint force, however, is the exclusive power of the saint tribe. Even if its potential is astounding, it can't absorb it indefinitely like Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi."

"It's merely using this Foundation Establishment method to plant a seed of saint force in its bloodline. At most, it would equate to the mana fluctuation of the Divinity Transformation level. How much power could that consume?"

"Even after it hatches, the level of suppression it can exert on the demon tribe depends on your subsequent nurturing, not its birth. However, the maximum extent is likely to affect demon bloodlines below the king level."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing felt relieved as long as it wouldn't cause the barrier against the demon tribe on Pangu Continent to fail.

...…

Later, under Fairy Maotuan's guidance, Lin Jing began the long process of incubating the egg again.

It was quite similar to hatching an egg.

During this time, the brother of Sheng Kun, "Mo Xu," who was bound to a prison pillar in the mountain valley, was startled to find that the suppression of his demonic bloodline on the Pangu Continent was weakening!

He remained silent and patient, waiting until all the saint force was gathered over by the array. His demon bloodline fully recovered, and his strength was nearly restored, allowing him to attempt breaking free of the seal on him.

Boom!!!

The seal shattered.

"It's a success!!"

Mo Xu, who broke free from the seal, was overjoyed, feeling he had discovered a piece of intelligence that could significantly impact the battle situation in the lower realm. The suppression of the demon bloodline on Pangu Continent… seemed to have failed!

If he could successfully relay this information back, the demon tribe's army would instantly gather, launching a total assault on the Cultivation Alliance. The adhesive plaster sticking to the Celestial Demon Realm would soon face annihilation!

However, before Mo Xu could revel for too long, a large cauldron abruptly struck him down from the sky.

Pff.

Mo Xu spat out blood, looking fearfully at the sky where a flaming carp floated.

"Bo…" The dragon carp thoughtfully stared at Mo Xu, directly encapsulating him into the pill cauldron. Seeing this, Mo Xu tried to flee in another direction, but he was no match for the dragon carp with its Primordial Spirit of the Immortal Path. Before long, he was resealed, and the place of this sealing was even harsher.

"Curse you!"

Mo Xu pounded on the cauldron, which didn't budge.

He was extremely frustrated, but in the next instant, a cold sweat broke out, realizing a serious issue, his face turning pale.

Wait, why did I subconsciously decide just now that the suppression on the demon tribe on Pangu Continent had failed?

Could it be that the Cultivation Alliance, that Lin Jing had already comprehended the power of suppression on Pangu Continent against the demon tribe, could now freely control this power?

If that's the case, it is not good news at all, but rather… an immensely unfavorable piece of news for the Celestial Demon Realm.

Before Mo Xu could delve deeper into thought, the dragon carp immediately summoned a flame of Immortal Fire. It wasn't intending to refine Mo Xu into a pill to enhance its cultivation but aimed to study the alchemists of the Immortal Palace to see if it could extract the demon bloodline from Mo Xu and refine it into a Demon Body Pill, transferring the demon bloodline to others!

...…

"There's been a change."

On the other side, after a long while, Lin Jing, having poured all his effort over the years into the Immortal Beast egg, finally felt a change in the egg for the first time.

Though it hadn't hatched, it seemed as if the life inside had prematurely developed awareness, spiritual consciousness.

Moreover, probably because it had absorbed a lot of his blood, he could sense its longing within.

Its consciousness was still in a foggy state, akin to dreaming. In this state, its greatest yearning was to quickly break out of the shell and witness the real world.

But it was evidently not the time to break out yet, so Lin Jing had to hold on, continuing to establish its Foundation with Holy Power.

This process, from beginning to end, lasted about ten years. After ten years of Lin Jing's persistent effort, the egg finally emitted a cracking sound, the first crack appearing.

Lin Jing took a deep breath, and Fairy Maotuan appeared instantly, having stayed all along, wanting to see if Lin Jing could succeed.

"It's a foot…" The first crack in the eggshell extended with holy light, revealing a foot that resembled a bird's.

The second crack also revealed a foot.

The third… revealed a hand, the fourth, another hand, and soon the pet beast egg became an egg with fully developed hands and feet. Lin Jing was still waiting for its full form to emerge, to break out completely, however…

Next, with three more cracking sounds, the egg didn't completely shatter but instead developed a pair of eyes and a mouth, but no nose.

The holy egg's large eyes gazed at Lin Jing and Fairy Maotuan, a thread of holy light shining on its pristine shell.

"Seems like it's finished," said Fairy Maotuan. "This mutation is a bit odd, but fortunately, its power has awakened, so it's not a failure."
