Chapter 618: The Egg Changes!
“These demon beasts are restless. They have been gathering for a long time, their numbers increasing. Why haven’t they attacked? Could we be overthinking this?”
“These demon beasts are waiting for even stronger powerhouses to arrive. Once they do, the real attack will begin.”
Su Jingting spoke. Having faced trials outside the Forest of Demons, he had a solid understanding of these creatures.
The gathering of demon beasts here was not a simple coincidence. They weren’t just congregating—they were preparing. Once the awaited powerhouses arrived, the assault would begin, turning Man City into a nightmare.
“Hoo…”
Someone took a deep breath. If these demon beast powerhouses arrived, how could Man City possibly resist?
“Su Jingting, how is the old man’s health? This is a major incident. Have you informed him?”
The leaders of the five major families questioned Su Jingting. Old Man Su Yuntian was undoubtedly the backbone of Man City.
Twenty years ago, in a bloody battle against the Immortality Gate, Man City’s strongest warriors suffered heavy losses, many perishing in battle.
In the face of that crisis, it was Old Man Su Yuntian who led the Su family’s death-defying squad, cutting down the enemy before the battle even began.
“Father is currently in seclusion. I haven’t been able to see him either.”
Su Jingting didn’t hide the truth. He, too, found it strange that his father had suddenly gone into seclusion, forbidding anyone from disturbing him.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several people darkened.
“Lord Su, I heard that Old Man Su’s injuries never fully healed. How is he now?”
Mo Lai, the head of the Mo family, asked. It was no secret in Man City that Old Man Su had been injured by Wang Quande from the Sacred Mountain.
The leaders of the major families were especially aware that his condition had not improved. Now, hearing Su Jingting’s words, they couldn’t help but feel deeply concerned.
If Old Man Su’s injuries weren’t severe, Man City still had a pillar of strength. However, if something happened to him, the city would be in even greater peril.
“Everyone, don’t worry. My father’s injuries are not serious.”
Su Jingting reassured them, but he did not mention the mysterious powerhouse who had visited the Su family and significantly improved Old Man Su’s condition. He also suspected that the arrival of powerful cultivators from the Divine Sword School had something to do with his father’s healing and seclusion.
Hearing Su Jingting’s response, the crowd hesitated, unsure if he was telling the full truth. Some time ago, there had been rumors that Old Man Su’s injuries were worsening.
“City Lord, I heard that Ling’ai has returned from the Sacred Mountain. What formidable fighters has the Sacred Mountain sent this time?”
One of the five family leaders inquired. Liu Ruoxi had returned to Man City, and if powerful cultivators accompanied her, they could assist in defending against the demon beasts.
Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to Liu Zongyuan.
Everyone knew that although Liu Ruoxi was an important disciple of the Sacred Mountain, she was still young. Even with a few years of training, her strength might not be formidable enough to make a significant difference.
However, if the Sacred Mountain had sent powerful reinforcements, their presence could turn the tide of the crisis.
“There are indeed powerhouses from the Sacred Mountain coming, but they’ve encountered unexpected delays. They should arrive in Man City as soon as possible.”
Liu Zongyuan explained. He understood everyone’s concerns, but even he didn’t know exactly when the reinforcements from the Sacred Mountain would arrive.
“Hopefully, they arrive in time.”
The crowd sighed. Still, knowing that powerful cultivators from the Sacred Mountain were on their way brought some relief.
With Liu Ruoxi’s connections, as well as the fact that the Mo, Song, He, and Su families all had disciples in the Sacred Mountain, they believed that if Man City was truly in danger, the Sacred Mountain would not stand by idly.
“All families have dispatched their strongest fighters to patrol the city day and night. We have also made arrangements to ensure the safety of the elderly, young, and women within the city.”
City Lord Liu Zongyuan stated firmly. While the Sacred Mountain’s reinforcements were uncertain, Man City had to rely on itself first and foremost.
Time passed slowly.
Inside a mysterious space, within a pool of Spiritual Essence, a pale golden egg radiated brilliance. Its surface patterns glowed as if red blood were flowing beneath them, exuding an ancient pressure.
At this moment, the Spiritual Essence pool, which had expanded to about two feet in size, was nearly depleted. Every last drop had been absorbed by the pale golden egg, leaving the pool dry.
The egg grew increasingly radiant, emitting faint sounds of wind and thunder.
Sitting cross-legged nearby, Su Yi suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils glowed crimson, resembling streaks of red lightning. His aura surged, causing his robes to flutter, radiating a sense of immense power and destruction.
Then, Su Yi’s gaze sharpened, filled with unwavering determination. His entire being exuded an extraordinary, transcendent aura, marking him as someone truly exceptional.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips. As he focused inward, he assessed his current state—he had fully stabilized at the ninth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm. Though his cultivation had only advanced slightly, his combat power had taken a significant leap forward.
Now, he was just one step away from the Yuan True Realm. For many cultivators, this step was an insurmountable barrier, something they might never cross in their lifetimes. But Su Yi had confidence—he would break through before long.
The Yuan True Realm… the Yuan Spirit Realm… stepping beyond would be a true transformation.
Yet, Su Yi was conflicted. Cultivating the Void God Sea would make the gap between the Yuan Spirit Realm and the Yuan True Realm even more treacherous, turning it into a life-or-death trial.
However, if he succeeded, the rewards would be unimaginable. He would become an unrivaled powerhouse among those of his level, able to dominate any opponent of the same rank. It would be terrifying.
“For now, I should focus on cultivation. When the time comes, everything will fall into place,” Su Yi muttered to himself. This was not yet the moment for a breakthrough—he would decide later.
“Huh…”
Suddenly, Su Yi sensed something and immediately shifted his gaze toward the source of the disturbance.
It came from the most important Spiritual Essence pool. Powerful fluctuations rippled outward, accompanied by bursts of light.
His heart tightened. That pool was the most crucial one.
Without hesitation, Su Yi stood up and rushed over.
When he arrived and saw the scene inside the pool, Su Yi was momentarily stunned.
The once nearly full pool of Spiritual Essence was now completely dry. At its center, the pale golden egg radiated dazzling light, its glow tinged with a brilliant red hue. An ancient aura surrounded it, pulsing with an immense pressure.
Su Yi recognized this egg—it was the one he had lost in this mysterious space. He had tried everything to get a response from it before, but to no avail.
Now, it had changed.
