Chapter 618: The Egg Changes!
"These demon beasts are restless, they have gathered for so long, their numbers increasing. Why haven't they attacked? Could it be that we are overthinking?"
"These demon beasts are waiting for even stronger demon beast powerhouses to arrive. When that happens, they will likely launch a real attack."
Su Jingting spoke. He had experienced trials outside the Forest of Demons and had a good understanding of these demon beasts.
These demon beasts gathering here are definitely not simple and not merely for congregation. Once the awaited demon beast powerhouses arrive, it will be the time for an attack, and it will be the beginning of a nightmare for Man City.
"Hoo..."
Someone took a deep breath inwardly. If the demon beast powerhouses arrived, how would Man City be able to resist?
"Su Jingting, how is the old man's health now? Such a major incident, have you informed him?"
The powerhouses of the five major families asked Su Jingting. Old Man Su Yuntian was undoubtedly the backbone of everyone in current Man City.
Twenty years ago, in a bloody battle with the Immortality Gate, the formidable warriors of the entire Man City suffered heavy losses and perished in the war.
In the face of danger, it was Old Man Su Yuntian of the Su family who led the Su family's death-defying squad and decapitated the enemy before the battle.
"Father is currently in seclusion, and I haven't been able to see him either." Su Jingting didn't conceal the fact, and he also found it strange why his father suddenly went into seclusion and ordered not to be disturbed by anyone.
Upon hearing this, some people present had their expressions darken.
"Lord of the Su family, I heard that the injuries on Old Man Su's body have never fully healed. How is he doing now?" Mo Lai, the head of the Mo family, asked. It was no secret to the people of Man City that Old Man Su had been injured by Wang Quande from the Sacred Mountain.
Especially the people from the major families were well aware that Old Man Su's injuries had not improved. At this moment, upon hearing Su Jingting's words, they couldn't help but feel deeply worried.
If Old Man Su's injuries are not serious, Man City would still have a backbone to rely on. However, if anything were to happen to Old Man Su, Man City would be even more vulnerable.
"Everyone, don't worry. Father's injuries are not serious." Su Jingting didn't conceal the fact that the mysterious strong individual had come to the Su family and that Old Man Su's injuries had already improved significantly. In addition, with the arrival of the formidable fighters from the Divine Sword School this time, Su Jingting speculated that it might have something to do with his father's injuries, indicating that his father might be in seclusion for healing.
Hearing Su Jingting's words, the crowd internally hesitated, unsure whether what Su Jingting said was true or not. Some time ago, they had heard that Old Man Su's injuries seemed to be getting worse.
"City Lord, I heard that Ling'ai has returned from the Sacred Mountain. I wonder what formidable fighters the Sacred Mountain has sent this time?"
Someone from the five major families asked. Liu Ruoxi has returned to Man City, and if there are formidable fighters among the Sacred Mountain visitors, they would be able to assist Man City, eliminating the need to worry about those demon beasts.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze also fell on Liu Zongyuan.
Everyone was well aware that although Liu Ruoxi had returned and was an important disciple of the Sacred Mountain, she was still young. Even with a few years' time, her strength might not be that formidable.
However, if formidable fighters from the Sacred Mountain were to come and provide assistance to Man City, it would be enough to solve the current crisis in Man City.
"There are formidable fighters from the Sacred Mountain coming, but there have been some unexpected delays along the way. However, it is estimated that they will arrive in Man City as soon as possible."
Liu Zongyuan spoke, understanding the thoughts of the crowd, but he couldn't know when that formidable fighter from the Sacred Mountain, as mentioned by his daughter, would arrive in Man City.
"Hopefully, that formidable fighter can arrive in time."
The crowd sighed, but upon hearing that formidable fighters from the Sacred Mountain were coming, they felt slightly relieved internally.
With Liu Ruoxi's connection and the fact that the Mo family, Song family, He family, and the Su family all had disciples in the Sacred Mountain, if Man City were to be in danger, the formidable fighters from the Sacred Mountain would not sit idly by and would certainly lend a helping hand.
"All the families have dispatched formidable fighters to patrol day and night, making arrangements for the safety of the elderly, the young, and the women within the city."
City Lord Liu Zongyuan spoke, saying that the experts from the Sacred Mountain would come at an unknown time, but this was a matter for Man City, and ultimately, it would rely on Man City.
Time passed slowly.
Inside the mysterious space, in the pool of Spiritual Essence, a pale golden egg was radiant. The patterns on its surface emitted a glow, as if red blood was flowing, exuding an ancient pressure.
But at this moment, in the Spiritual Essence pool that had already expanded to about two feet in size, it was almost completely filled with Spiritual Essence, all of which had been absorbed by this pale golden egg, leaving not a single drop behind.
The pale golden egg became increasingly dazzling, emitting faint sounds of wind and thunder.
Sitting cross-legged, Su Yi suddenly opened his eyes at a certain moment. His pupils were crimson, like red lightning. His aura fluctuated, causing his robes to flutter and emanating a sense of destruction.
Then, Su Yi's gaze became deep and resolute, exuding a sense of spirituality. His entire being seemed to radiate an extraordinary and transcendental aura, revealing his exceptional nature at a single glance.
With a smile at the corner of his eye, Su Yi introspected and realized his current situation. He had firmly stabilized at the ninth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm. Although his realm had only improved by a small level, his combat power had undoubtedly increased, taking another step forward.
With only one step away from the Yuan True Realm, Yuan Spirit Realm's ninth level was within reach. Although for many, this step was something they may never be able to take in their lifetime, Su Yi had confidence in himself. It wouldn't be long before he could break through.
Yuan True Realm, Yuan Spirit Realm, that would be a true step forward.
However, Su Yi was also conflicted. If he were to cultivate the Void God Sea, the seemingly close gap between the Yuan True Realm and the Yuan Spirit Realm would, in reality, be a matter of life and death.
However, once he succeeded in cultivating it, the results could be imagined. He would become truly invincible among those of the same level and realm, capable of overpowering any opponent of the same level. It would be terrifying.
"First, focus on cultivation. Everything will fall into place when the time comes," Su Yi muttered to himself. After all, it was not the time for a breakthrough yet, so he would decide later.
"Huh..."
Suddenly, Su Yi seemed to sense something and immediately shifted his gaze to the sensed location.
It was the most important Spiritual Essence pool, where a strong fluctuation emanated, accompanied by fluctuations in light.
His heart tightened because it was the most crucial Spiritual Essence pool. Su Yi immediately stood up and flew over.
When he witnessed the scene inside the Spiritual Essence pool, Su Yi was dumbfounded.
The once nearly full Spiritual Essence pool now appeared dried up, with a pale golden egg emanating a dazzling light, emitting a brilliant red glow. It possessed an ancient aura and fluctuated with a sense of pressure.
Su Yi was familiar with this egg. It was the one he had lost in the mysterious space, trying everything but receiving no response. But now, it had undergone a change.
