After the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Origin Holy Land finished speaking, everyone in the entire space gaped, their eyes wide, and suddenly the air seemed to fall silent. Putting everything else aside, the mere mention of "celestial beast" was already astonishing.
Wang Teng shouted frantically, "Impossible! Impossible! How could there be celestial beasts in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"
At this moment, the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Origin Holy Land explained: "Countless years ago, one of our Holy Land's ancestors obtained an ancient book on an ancient battlefield. It recorded some events from the creation era. In that chaotic period of creation, not only were there countless powerful human beings, but several other races were also very powerful, including the demon race. At that time, the human and demon races were constantly fighting. Then, dozens of immortal-level experts inexplicably appeared on the demon race's side, one of whom was from the Five-Colored Qilin Clan. In fact, the Qilin Clan of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can only be considered their descendants."
Then he continued, "Back then, that immortal from the Five-Colored Qilin Clan brought a Five-Colored Divine Qilin egg from the Upper Realm. This egg contained the Five-Colored Divine Qilin. I don't know what rank this Five-Colored Divine Qilin held in the Qilin Clan, nor do I know what that immortal intended to do. Ultimately, that immortal from the Five-Colored Qilin Clan was killed by the Ancestor of Humanity. In his dying moments, he used great magic to send away the Five-Colored Divine Qilin egg. Its whereabouts have been unknown ever since. Unexpectedly, after countless years, it transformed into a divine primordial stone."
Then, Yun Shangtian, the divine son of the Taiyu Tianyun family, asked, "After so many years of changes, is there still life inside this egg?"
The Supreme Elder of the Ancient Origin Holy Land immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure about this, after all, this is something from the creation era, and it's separated by countless years."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian waved his hand and immediately put the egg into his spatial ring.
Then Wang Teng said, "I just hope that what's inside has already perished. This egg feels like an ominous thing."
Yuan Zhexian coldly stared at Wang Teng and said, "Do you think your confidence has returned after you came back to life? And you've started to get arrogant. How dare you, someone like you, comment on my things, Yuan Zhexian's?"
Yuan Ruochu's face also revealed murderous intent as she looked at Wang Teng and said, "Enjoy your remaining time. We're giving Gu Yuan Holy Land face here and not killing you. But that doesn't mean you can speak recklessly and act without restraint. If you say another word, you'll die!"
Seeing that Yuan Zhexian and his group had already shown murderous intent, Wang Teng dared not linger here any longer and said, "Mountains may not move, but water will. Our Divine Source Secret Realm will be in a world of its own. If you die, I will die."
After saying that, he left through the private passage.
Afterwards, seeing that the auction of the Divine Stone was almost over, everyone got up, said goodbye to Yuan Zhexian and his group, and left.
At this moment, Jianzi of the Sword Sect and his companion came to Yuan Zhexian and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, Yuan Clan Divine Son. You've come all the way to Tai Shi Tian, why don't you come and visit the Sword Sect?"
Yuan Zhexian also said politely, "Actually, we came with my grandfather this time, but they went to meet up with old friends, and we were bored, so we came out for a stroll. After we finish here, we have to go back to the hotel to wait for them."
"Oh, is that so? I don't have time to invite Yuan Shenzi to the Sword Sect. I've long heard that the Four Swords of Zhuxian are incredibly terrifying, and that they, along with our Sword Sect's One Sword Breaks the Heavens, are known as the two most powerful sword techniques in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. I'm also very curious and would like to have a friendly spar."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian immediately said, "If you want to spar, let me introduce you to someone."
He then called Xiao Wangchuan over and said to Jian Wushuang, the swordsman of the Sword Sect, "This is my follower, a super sword cultivator prodigy. You can exchange ideas. Moreover, I have already bestowed upon Xiao Wangchuan one of the Four Swords of Zhuxian. And I recently heard that my grandfather also bestowed upon him the other one of the Four Swords of Zhuxian."
Jian Wushuang was astonished upon hearing this. He knew Yuan Zhexian's strength was terrifying; he had only sparred with him briefly. Moreover, Yuan Zhexian was extremely demanding of his followers; the only one known was Ji Jingtian, whose strength far surpassed his own. And now, another unfamiliar follower had appeared, a super-talented swordsman, whose strength was undoubtedly formidable. Crucially, he also knew two of the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Seeing the powerful sword intent surrounding Xiao Wangchuan, Jian Wushuang was now filled with fighting spirit as he stared at him.
Just then, Yuan Zhexian and his companions suddenly sensed another surge of fighting spirit emanating from them. They looked at the person radiating that fighting spirit. It was the one who had been traveling with Jian Wushuang, the Sword Master of the Sword Sect.
Yuan Ruochu then asked, "Sword Master, who is this?"
Jian Wushuang turned around and looked at Yuan Ruochu, saying, "Oh. I forgot to introduce you. This is Dugu Jian, the Imperial Son of the Sword Sect."
"An Imperial Son?" Everyone on Yuan Zhexian's side, except for Yuan Zhexian himself, was astonished. This was the first time they had ever seen a true Imperial Son, aside from Yuan Zhexian, the Jade Clan's Imperial Son. An Imperial Son, as the name suggests, is the offspring of a great emperor, a true ancient prodigy.
Then Jian Wushuang continued, "I believe everyone has heard about the Sword Sect and Sword Clan. Our Sword Sect and Sword Clan have been in seclusion for countless years. If it weren't for this Golden Age, we probably wouldn't have emerged. Now, only the two of us from the Sword Sect and Sword Clan have emerged. And he is the offspring of a certain Great Emperor of our Sword Sect. His talent in swordsmanship is no less than mine."
At this moment, Xiao Wangchuan said to the two of them, "I wonder if there will be an opportunity to spar with you two. I also want to know who is the number one young swordsman right now."
Seeing Xiao Wangchuan's provocative expression, Jian Wushuang and Dugu Jian were not only not angry, but actually admired him. That's how swordsmen are: bold and forthright, upright and unpretentious.
Seeing that the three were full of fighting spirit, and wanting to fulfill Xiao Wangchuan's wish, Yuan Zhexian said, "How about this, when the Divine Source Secret Realm ends, I will take everyone to visit your Sword Sect."
Jian Wushuang and Dugu Jian were also very happy and said, "Then we will respectfully welcome the Primordial Spirit Child." After saying that, they left the space with Dugu Jian.
Afterwards, Yuan Zhexian led everyone away from Dushifang and returned to the hotel.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Yuan Xun and the other two Yuan Clan patriarchs had still not returned, and the other members of the Sequence were still secluded in their cultivation before the Divine Source Secret Realm opened. Yuan Zhexian then told everyone to rest well before returning to his own room.
Upon returning to his room, Yuan Zhexian immediately set up an isolation barrier. He closed his eyes and opened them again, revealing double pupils as bright as stars. He then took out the egg and began to examine it carefully.
“There is a powerful life force inside; it shouldn’t be an inanimate object.” Immediately, Yuan Zhexian also infused a wisp of spiritual power into the five-colored Qilin egg. The egg then shook slightly. Seeing this, Yuan Zhexian increased the amount of spiritual power he infused, and then a childlike, pure, and innocent voice was heard.
"Hungry...blood...I'm hungry..."
