Chapter 1031: Chapter 1030: It’s Just an Egg!

Unsteady on their feet, Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi staggered from side to side, both startled in their hearts, and couldn’t help but look up towards the top of the ”Sealing Demon Cliff”. This intense tremor, with a feeling of the mountains collapsing and the earth cracking, was coming from halfway up the ”Sealing Demon Cliff”. In the end, Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi had to use Martial Arts True Power to suppress and calm it. Both of them looked grimly at the halfway point of the ”Sealing Demon Cliff”, naturally feeling a mixture of complex emotions and alarm.

Master Fang Yi glanced at the sky and then said, ”That eminent monk from the Buddhist Sect, in order to prevent this fierce bird race from wantonly slaughtering mortals, finally intervened in a great battle, reaching a fever pitch with the king of this fierce bird race, causing half the stars to crumble. In the end, the eminent monk of the Buddhist Sect used the supreme Buddhist Holy Skill to shock kill the king of this fierce bird race, but he himself was also severely injured. With his last essence blood, he sealed the egg left by this race, sealing it on this cliff, hence the name Sealing Demon Cliff!”

”Was that earth-moving and mountain-shaking feeling just now a sign of this fierce bird about to be born?” Ye Tianchen also asked with some surprise.

”Yes, it’s just an egg that shakes every fifty years, but just over three hundred years ago, it began to shake every ten years, each time more strongly than the last. It seems this egg is about to hatch!” Master Fang Yi sighed as he spoke.

Ye Tianchen looked towards the height of the ”Sealing Demon Cliff” and couldn’t help but frown. He indeed did not expect that the ancient fierce bird sealed above the ”Sealing Demon Cliff” was not already mighty, but just an egg. Just an egg, not even hatched, could cause such tremors. How earth-shattering would it be once it hatches? No wonder Shaolin has had people come to check on it for generations. No wonder that eminent monk millions of years ago, after shock killing the king of this fierce bird race and being heavily injured himself, spared no expense, even the cost of his own life, to suppress and seal the egg left by the king of this fierce bird race. How powerful must this egg be, and once it hatches and breaks free from the seal of this ”Sealing Demon Cliff”, it would undoubtedly cause a calamitous bloodstorm. It must be known that some races from the Ancient Alien Race inherently possess a strong vicious aura and are naturally aggressive. It’s not just this vicious race being sealed that would cause such turmoil; even if a person were imprisoned for so many years, they would also be filled with murderous intent upon being released.

”Just an egg, and yet so powerful. The Ancient Alien Race is filled with so much mystery!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but murmur to himself.

”Let’s go; let’s go up and take a look. This egg won’t hatch in the short term, but we must prepare for a rainy day, which is why I came to find you!” Master Fang Yi said, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”Alright!” Ye Tianchen nodded.

Regarding this matter, not to mention the Buddhist Sect eminent monk, who back then selflessly sacrificed himself to shock kill the king of this fierce bird race to save the Human Clan, and used one of the most powerful sealing arrays of the Buddhist Sect to seal the egg, a noble act to save the Human Clan. Not to mention that Ye Tianchen received the grace of the Buddhist Sect, obtaining the inheritance of the ”Yijin Jing”, which led to his achievements today. Even in terms of the great righteousness between clans, Ye Tianchen would never stand by indifferently. The Ancient Alien Races are extremely ferocious, feeding on the Human Clan. In those dark and boundless ancient times, the Human Clan suffered much oppression, with numerous sages sacrificing themselves and countless martyrs shedding their blood, eventually securing a place in the Martial Arts World today. This is no longer a personal vendetta but concerns the life and death of the two major clans. Based on this alone, if Ye Tianchen could do it, he would also ensure this egg is permanently suppressed.

The two figures flew up towards the height of the ”Sealing Demon Cliff” using Qi Manipulation Flight. They were Master Fang Yi and Ye Tianchen, both shocked by the egg sealed on the ”Sealing Demon Cliff”. Just an egg, not yet hatched, exhibited such strong true power. When it really hatches, the sealing array that has endured for millions of years, could it suppress the fierce bird that emerges from this egg? It gives an indescribable and undecidable feeling, which is the most unsettling.

When Ye Tianchen followed behind Master Fang Yi and flew to the midpoint of the ”Sealing Demon Cliff”, they saw in the center of the midway cliff a space resembling a cave. Inside this cave lay an egg, not as large as imagined, but only about the size of a fist, like a goose egg. The only difference from an ordinary egg was the mysterious and complex runes circulating on its shell, strands of divine power surging out, guarding this egg, startling Ye Tianchen. Is this an ancient times’ secret technique? Such powerful rune power.

”Just as Senior Brother Fang Zheng predicted, a very tiny crack has appeared on this egg. If one does not focus entirely on exploring with divine thought, it would not be noticed. Perhaps this egg is about to hatch, or perhaps it will take another few million years. Everything is unknown!” Master Fang Yi couldn’t help murmuring, with a tone full of worry.

Indeed, it is so. Not to say that Master Fang Yi, a compassionate person in the Buddhist Sect, is worried, even Ye Tianchen is somewhat concerned. This egg is incredibly powerful. The mysterious runes constantly circulating on the shell are like the power of stars connecting each star, leaving one in awe. If it truly hatches, it would provoke a storm not just on Earth, but across the entire Martial Arts World.

”The Red Lotus Demon of the Fire Dragon Pond, the Fire Qilin of Flame Valley, the egg at Sealing Demon Cliff, such beings actually exist on Earth. Should any of these three emerge, it would undoubtedly be earth-shattering, capable of sweeping through the three major Ancient Martial Worlds, and there is scarcely anyone who could subdue them. Earth indeed harbors too many secrets. Why do these entities exist? Could there be some connection among the three?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

”Master Ye, Master Ye...” Master Fang Yi noticed Ye Tianchen lost in thought, whispering to himself, and couldn’t help but call out.

”Oh, Master!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”What was Master Ye just talking about?” Master Fang Yi asked involuntarily.

”Oh, it’s nothing. I was just marveling at the power of this egg, wondering what kind of fierce bird might emerge from it,” Ye Tianchen snapped back to reality and said.

”I hope it never emerges, never ever, and if it does, let it be in another million years...”

Master Fang Yi couldn’t help but sigh, clearly concerned for the beings of the world, and for the Human Clan. Back in the day, a great monk from the Human Clan exterminated the ruler of this fierce bird species, wiping out the entire Ancient Race, leaving only this egg. If the fierce bird within this egg were to emerge, it would surely seek vengeance, bringing calamity not only to the Buddhist Sect but to the Human Clan as well.

”The runes on this eggshell are truly mysterious, completely unintelligible, they probably consist of some script from the Ancient Times...” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but remark while staring at the complex runes on the egg.

”Indeed, these complex runes, both Brother Fang Zheng and I have studied them before, without the slightest clue. The Buddhist Sect’s records indicate that back then, a great monk from the sect, by his own power, exterminated this fierce bird species, and as a result, suffered incurable injuries. When the egg was first discovered, the monk wanted to destroy it to completely resolve the troubles of the Human Clan, but the runes on the eggshell protected it. The monk’s blow could not shatter it, so he chanted the Buddha’s name, deeming it to be fate. He did not wish to kill an egg without the ability to fight back, so he sealed it with one of the Buddhist Sect’s most potent sealing arrays, the Holy Skill, at Sealing Demon Cliff,” Master Fang Yi recounted the story passed down within the Buddhist Sect to Ye Tianchen.

”It seems that the runes on this eggshell are extraordinarily complex, protecting the egg for so many years, leaving even the great monks of the Buddhist Sect at a loss...” Ye Tianchen remarked in amazement.

”The runes are incredibly complex and profound, not even a single one is understandable, let alone comprehending their mysteries. Brother Fang Zheng speculated that the runes on the eggshell might be a Secret Technique of the Ancient Alien Race, possibly some form of restriction. These runes have protected the egg, preventing it from being shattered by the monk’s palm back then, and allowing it to survive till now. The fierce bird within the eggshell shows signs of hatching,” Master Fang Yi said with furrowed brows.

Ye Tianchen likewise frowned. This small egg conceals such a shocking secret, reaching an unimaginable level of power. It exudes waves of ferocity even before hatching. What would happen if it actually emerged? Ye Tianchen could easily fathom the critical importance of this egg. For the Ancient Fierce Bird species, exterminated by a great monk a million years ago, this egg holds their last vestige of bloodline, possibly the strongest legacy of their race, protected at all costs. When it emerges, it will undoubtedly attack the Buddhist Sect and even the entire Human Clan.

For this concerns the ancient feud between the Ancient Alien Race and the Human Clan. Just thinking about it makes one’s scalp tingle. This is not a simple foe to contend with. Comparing the Red Lotus Demon of Fire Dragon Pond, the Fire Qilin of Flame Valley, and this egg at Sealing Demon Cliff, this egg is far more dangerous and perilous. That such powerful secrets exist on Earth truly makes Ye Tianchen yearn to glimpse a corner of Earth’s once-famed era of cultivation... (To be continued.
