”We’re in trouble. It seems that this Emperor Realm monk of our Buddhist Sect is truly compassionate. That egg left by the Golden Crow Clan has intentionally shown such a scene to exploit the monk’s benevolence, trying to live on by any means...” Master Fang Yi couldn’t help but speak.

”Everything in the Buddhist Sect is about fate, about the cycle of karma. Perhaps the senior monk has foreseen something, which led him to act in this way...” Ye Tianchen said with a hint of understanding.

”Master Ye, you mean...” Master Fang Yi was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask.

”I’m not entirely sure, but I have a feeling that the senior monk didn’t break the egg because of a significant reason, even though he had the power to do so based on the scenes depicted. There’s a substantial reason he refrained from doing it,” Ye Tianchen pondered with a frown.

”It seems that the battle in which the senior monk wiped out the Golden Crow Clan was not as simple as imagined. The scenes depicted on the eighteen human-shaped steles only represent a fraction of the whole story,” Master Fang Yi, also a wise person, quickly realized this point after hearing Ye Tianchen’s words.

What followed was akin to what Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi speculated. After the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk spoke, he abandoned the idea of smashing the egg in the center of the sea of fire. Instead, he sat cross-legged high up, stared at the egg for a long time, and chanted a complex scripture, incomprehensible to Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi.

”Eighteen Golden Arhat Array!”

After uttering these seven words softly, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk gently waved his right hand, summoning a massive mountain that appeared out of nowhere, a truly terrifying sight. Simultaneously, his left eye emitted a Buddha Light that split the mountain forcefully apart; one half continued to hover in midair while the other half fell into the sea of fire, disappearing completely. Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi were both astounded by this casual display of mountain-moving, sea-filling, and earth-breaking power, truly awe-inspiring as it confirmed an Emperor Realm figure could indeed dominate the entire Martial Arts World.

Swish!

Once more, a golden light shot out from the right eye of the Buddhist monk, as if it had transmuted into a pen, flying like steel writing and silver hooks over the gigantic mountain, half of which had crashed down. When the Buddha Light emitted from the monk’s right eye faded, there appeared three robust and mighty characters atop the steep cliff: Sealing Demon Cliff.

Whoosh!

The Buddhist Emperor Realm monk extended a huge hand toward the egg in the sea of fire. The monk’s right hand reached into the sea of fire, unaffected even by the Divine Fire of the legendary Sun Star, causing no harm whatsoever—a truly remarkable feat. For martial arts practitioners who have not reached the Emperor Realm, not to mention putting a hand in, even brushing slightly could lead to total annihilation.

Snap!

Clasping the egg from the sea of fire, the Buddhist monk furrowed his brows, as many intricate and mysterious runes appeared on his hand, seemingly intent on preventing him from taking the egg away.

With a sudden shake, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk shook his right hand, dispersing the runes that appeared on the egg, and said with a hint of authority, ”The Buddhist Sect values compassion. I do not want to annihilate everything. Since I said I won’t destroy this egg, I will not, but if anyone tries to stop me, I will crush it...”

After the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk spoke these words, the mysterious runes on the egg genuinely vanished. Holding the egg, the monk placed it into a cave at the mid-section of the suspended Sealing Demon Cliff, then consecutively struck it with eighteen Buddha Lights. In ”Sealing Demon Cliff,” eighteen human-like figures appeared faintly, resembling eighteen bald monks with some interconnection, a thread of sacred Buddha Light drawing them to the center, the mid-section of Sealing Demon Cliff, sealing the egg there. After a slight tremor, the egg became motionless.

”When this seal dissipates, it will be your time to emerge...” the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk looked at the egg in the mid-section of Sealing Demon Cliff and said calmly, disappearing into the sky once he finished. At the same time, Sealing Demon Cliff flew towards the distance, exactly in the direction where Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi were now located.

The patterns on the eighteen human-shaped steles ended here, but in the hearts of Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi, there were still some doubts. They always felt that the scenes recorded on these eighteen human-shaped steles were not complete, and some things were not known to them. A very obvious question was why the high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm suddenly changed his mind when he clearly had the power to shatter this egg. Why didn’t he do it? Why did this high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm pass away shortly after setting the seal? What was the reason for that?

”Master, I want to go see the egg halfway up the mountain now, what do you think?” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, turned and asked Master Fang Yi.

”Let’s go together!” Master Fang Yi nodded and said.

Swish!

Swish!

Two figures landed halfway up the ”Sealing Demon Cliff.” There, the egg was emitting waves of mysterious power. Especially the runes on the eggshell, which appeared increasingly ordinary. When Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi used their powerful Divine Thought Power to probe the egg, they were both stunned. It was truly unexpected because the small cracks on the egg had expanded significantly, already about the size of a grain of rice. In less than a day, the egg had changed so much, it was truly astonishing. At this rate, the egg might hatch in less than half a year, and by then, who on Earth could resist it? In the entire Martial Arts World, who could stop it? Even though Ye Tianchen had learned the ”Eighteen Golden Arhat Array” and the ”Heavenly Eighteen Forms,” his current Cultivation Realm was certainly no match for the egg. Bear in mind, this is just an egg, and yet it could already contend with a high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm. If it truly hatches, what then?

”This... Master Ye, at this rate, I’m afraid this egg will hatch in less than a year...” Master Fang Yi said in shock.

”Master, at this speed, the egg will hatch in less than half a year!” Ye Tianchen said, frowning.

”This... what should we do? The vicious bird inside this egg is a Golden Crow, and it should be the strongest member left by the Golden Crow Clan. Even before it hatches, it can contend with a high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm. It’s unbelievably powerful. If it truly hatches, what then?” Master Fang Yi couldn’t help but feel a little anxious as he said.

Ye Tianchen also frowned deeply. He didn’t expect the egg to crack so quickly. At this rate, in less than half a year, the egg will hatch, which would be an unimaginable disaster, likely bringing calamity not only to the Buddhist Sect but to the entire Human Clan as well. The Golden Crow that emerges from this egg will certainly avenge its Golden Crow Clan.

”Master, let me try. I will now use the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array to give it a try.” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.

”Master Ye, you just received the inheritance of the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array. Even if your talent is exceptional and you grasped its essence, it’s impossible to master it in such a short time. Randomly practicing it like this will greatly harm yourself.” Master Fang Yi hurriedly said.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback, then smiled and said, ”We all underestimated the strength of this egg. I didn’t expect it would show signs of hatching so quickly. From the meaning of the scenes, it can be seen that as long as this Eighteen Golden Arhat Array doesn’t dissipate, the egg will have a hard time hatching. It seems that the Sealing Power of the Formation has suppressed the hatching speed of this egg for millions of years. Now the seal has loosened, showing vulnerabilities. I need to strengthen and repair it, hoping to suppress this egg for another hundred thousand years!”

”Suppress this egg for a hundred thousand years?” Master Fang Yi said in a daze.

”This is already the maximum limit I can achieve. After all, my power is still far inferior to that of the high monk of the Buddhist Emperor Realm. Achieving what he did, suppressing this Golden Crow Clan’s egg for millions of years, is impossible for me. To be able to suppress it for another hundred thousand years is already the extreme. I hope I can achieve it!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

He didn’t say much more. This Golden Crow Clan’s egg is a calamity, a powerful calamity, and even one that could sweep across the entire Martial Arts World. Ye Tianchen couldn’t allow it to hatch easily. In such a case, humanity would face a great disaster, and his own relatives and friends among the Human Clan would also become victims. How could he let this egg hatch easily?

Ye Tianchen floated on the mountainside of ”Sealing Demon Cliff,” coldly staring at the egg, his eyes shooting out two beams of Divine Radiance as if to penetrate the essence of this egg. His gaze remained focused on the runes on the eggshell, as it was precisely these ancient and mysteriously profound runes that protected the egg, allowing it to survive to this day...(To be continued.
