Chapter 606: The Mysterious Egg!
A pile of valuable cultivation resources, worth a fortune. Just the Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill alone was an extraordinary treasure—something that even many in the Divine Sword School wouldn’t be able to acquire.
“Father, what is going on…?”
After a long while, Su Jingting took a deep breath and finally regained some composure.
“Su Yi might still be alive!”
Old Man Su Yuntian took a deep breath. The arrival of the short, powerful figure and the three Dharma Protectors from the Divine Sword School indicated that Su Yi was still alive and probably had some connection with the Divine Sword School.
“Su Yi, is he really still alive?”
Su Jingting’s eyes trembled, his face displaying a mix of solemnity and excitement. He paced around, a hint of joy in his voice. “It’s good that he’s alive, it’s good he’s alive. That kid managed to survive three years in the Forest of Demons. Maybe he managed to escape another calamity. But if he’s alive, why hasn’t he returned, even just to send a letter?”
“Su Yi didn’t send a message back. I guess he must have had concerns. If he went to the Divine Sword School instead of Sacred Mountain, maybe something else happened there…”
Su Yuntian frowned. He had always suspected Su Yi’s death, thinking there might have been something behind it.
“Father, are you suspecting that Su Yi encountered danger in the Forest of Demons, or that Wang from Sacred Mountain was involved?”
Su Jingting hesitated but then spoke, his eyes flickering.
“If the people from Sacred Mountain truly wanted to protect Su Yi, how could accidents have occurred? I suspect that even if it wasn’t Wang Quande’s doing, he is definitely involved.”
Old Man Su Yuntian’s gaze grew heavy. Given how Sacred Mountain had treated Su Yi in the past, it was easy to infer that Su Yi’s life would not have been easy, even if he had made it to Sacred Mountain.
“If Su Yi is still alive, and at the Divine Sword School, that would be another option. Judging from the current attitude of the Divine Sword School towards our Su family, maybe Su Yi is doing well there.”
Su Jingting pondered. The fact that the Divine Sword School had brought so many things to the Su family indicated that if Su Yi was indeed at the Divine Sword School, it would prove that the school valued him greatly.
“That’s precisely why I’m worried. Perhaps something truly happened to Su Yi this time…”
Old Man Su Yuntian’s expression turned grave. His brows furrowed as he sighed. “Whether it was Wang Quande from Sacred Mountain or recent events at the Divine Sword School, only Su Yi would know the truth. It’s regrettable that, even after dedicating my entire life to martial arts, I couldn’t reach a high enough level. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let this matter go unresolved.”
“Father, you don’t need to worry too much. Su Yi has always had good fortune on his side. He can turn bad situations into good. Moreover, he has always had the ability to protect himself, regardless of his other skills. It’s just difficult for anyone to take advantage of him. I’m sure nothing serious has happened to him.”
Su Jingting reassured Su Yuntian.
“In this aspect, Su Yi does have some similarities to his father.”
Upon hearing this, Old Man Su Yuntian’s deeply furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

Night in the Forest of Demons
The ancient pines stood solemn, the mountains and rocks gloomy, and the tree shadows swayed.
Recently, it had been raining, and even at the open space on the mountaintop, the starlight was indistinguishable, the area covered in mist and fog.
“Roarrrr…”
In the distant, damp night—thick as ink—occasional roars of beasts echoed.
In a concealed valley, although the surrounding mountains were not very tall, there were steep cliffs and precipitous rocks everywhere. The valley was hidden amidst lush mountains, making it very secretive.
A figure sat cross-legged, exuding a faint red glow and emanating an ancient aura of pressure.
Not far away, a Wolf-headed Demon Bat perched on a cliff, its sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
The one sitting cross-legged was Su Yi.
Carefully, Su Yi made his way back towards Man City, accompanied by the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, without drawing attention.
Su Yi was well aware that although he was only passing through a corner of the Forest of Demons on his way to Man City, it was still the territory of the Black Fiend School and where Emperor Blazing Dragon resided. If he were recognized, the consequences would be dire, so caution was paramount.
Fortunately, Su Yi was quite familiar with the Forest of Demons and had ample survival skills within its confines.
Coupled with his current cultivation level, which was much stronger than before, Su Yi proceeded cautiously and did not encounter too many dangers along the way.
Encountering several formidable demon beasts, Su Yi used the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique to directly deter them and continued on his way.
Not daring to be too conspicuous by riding the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, Su Yi’s speed was considerably reduced, but it provided an opportunity for further honing. Occasionally, he would use the Wolf-headed Demon Bat as a means of transportation without sacrificing too much speed.
However, at this moment, Su Yi was once again ragged and looked almost savage.
Su Yi didn’t mind, as it didn’t attract much attention.
He exhaled deeply, then opened his eyes. His aura fluctuated, causing his tattered robe to billow. His eyes flickered with a crimson light before returning to their deep and resolute state.
Feeling everything inside him, Su Yi was quite satisfied. Every day, apart from traveling, he devoted himself to cultivation. His aura had already stabilized at the Eighth Grade of Yuan Soul Realm and had even progressed further.
Su Yi wasn’t too complacent about reaching the Eighth Grade of the Yuan Spirit Realm. Compared to those powerhouses, he was well aware that he was still a novice. In the face of true powerhouses, he was still powerless.
If he wanted to become strong, he had to rely on himself and continuously double his efforts in cultivation. Su Yi never dared to slack off in this regard.
“It seems like I forgot something.”
Su Yi’s eyes flickered, emitting a red light in the darkness. He then took out an object from his space bag.
It was an oval-shaped egg, about the size of a goose egg. This egg was peculiar, with a pale golden shell, exactly like the one Su Yi had obtained after the disappearance of the divine bird skeleton in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
“What is this exactly…” Su Yi’s eyes flickered in astonishment. It was truly surprising that this egg had survived the flames that could burn everything in the first place. It was definitely not ordinary.
“Could it be the descendant of that divine bird…?”
Su Yi carefully examined the egg in his hand. It had a moderate weight, and other than its light golden color, there was no significant difference from an ordinary bird egg.
“Dang dang…”
Su Yi forcefully tapped the stone in front of him but found that the egg was incredibly solid and couldn’t be cracked open.
He then tried smashing the egg with a stone, but it had no effect.
This light golden egg was as hard as a rock and couldn’t be opened.
Su Yi tried various methods, including infusing his vitality and attempting soul communication, but none of them worked.
“Should I use fire to burn it…?”
Su Yi remembered the egg of the Emperor Blazing Dragon, which had hatched inside a volcano. He condensed his handprints, activating his fire attribute vitality to create flames to burn the egg in his hand.
After half an hour, Su Yi was drenched in sweat and had expended a considerable amount of vitality, but the light golden egg in his hand remained as cold as jade, its temperature unchanged.
“Could this egg be spoiled…?”
Su Yi clicked his tongue, having no choice but to give up. He had exhausted all his methods, but he couldn’t crack open the egg, nor did he know what it was.
