Chapter 350: Chapter 350: You’re Really Lucky
She walked over, calm as still water. She made her move nonchalantly, subdued the Golden Raven, and took the Golden Raven Egg. She had planned out the whole process in her mind. Really!
However, she never expected that the Golden Raven lying in wait below was not at the Emperor Realm but the Saint Realm.
The sword light she slashed out was filled with the fluctuations of a domain’s aura.
In an instant, it pierced through her body.
If she hadn’t been wearing armor and possessed a Fairy’s physique, that single attack from the Saint Realm Golden Raven would have been enough to kill her several times over.
Run! In her mind, there was only one word.
The Fairy forcefully suppressed her injuries and fled from the place without looking back.
Her speed was very fast.
The Golden Raven behind her became furiously enraged, flapping its wings and pursuing in that direction.
Everyone was moved.
What no one noticed was that a figure stealthily entered the sea area and then took the remaining three Golden Raven Eggs.
The entire process took only seven or eight breaths’ time.
Chen Pingping escaped back and revealed a joyful expression. "It’s done! Let’s hurry up and leave this place."
「In the mountains.」
Liu Changqing strode out, rushing over.
Elsewhere, Zhou Wu’s figure appeared.
Diwu Qingrou, Alan...
Several young talents from Central Continent had great tacit understanding and found an opportunity. While the Golden Raven was chasing the Fairy, they wanted to take the Golden Raven Eggs for themselves.
However, when they arrived, they were all dumbfounded.
Where were the Golden Raven Eggs?
Where were the eggs?
From the Golden Raven chasing the Fairy to now, it was just about a dozen breaths’ time. In the blink of an eye, the Golden Raven Eggs had disappeared.
Terrifyingly, the Golden Raven chose that moment to return for the kill.
The group exchanged horrified glances, as if they had just swallowed something revolting.
Just then, a young man in the mountains couldn’t help but say, "Just now, it seemed like Chen Pingping appeared."
「...」
The Emperor Spirit’s speed was very fast; it sprinted all the way. After running for an hour, it finally got far away from that terrifying area.
Chen Pingping grinned, ready to show off his achievements.
Earth Chicken suddenly interjected, "The Golden Raven’s nest is built with the wood of the Fusang Tree, which is said to be able to forge Heaven Tao Divine Weapons."
"???"
He instinctively looked back.
Earth Chicken said, "Stop thinking about it. Hurry up and give me the Golden Raven Eggs."
"Ah, what a loss, what a heavy loss," Chen Pingping grimaced. "I’m just missing the main material for a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon now."
He was preparing to forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon for his attack on the Nine Heavens.
Earth Chicken scorned, "You, a mere cultivator at the Emperor Realm, instead of cultivating properly, you’re thinking of forging a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon? Do you know how difficult that is?"
Chen Pingping was undeterred. "I have ambitions."
"Fine! Just hurry up and give me the Golden Raven Eggs..." Earth Chicken no longer argued.
Those who hadn’t entered the Emperor Realm but wanted to forge Heaven Tao Divine Weapons were countless throughout the ages, but only one or two were actually successful.
This wasn’t as simple as just foundation, talent, or family resources—it involved much more.
After swallowing three Golden Raven Eggs, Earth Chicken also underwent earth-shaking changes and looked even more like an old hen.
System Notification: Descendant of the Ancient Phoenix bloodline concentration increased to 41%, rewarded with five hundred years of cultivation, one piece of Sacred Soldier raw material... He didn’t pay attention to the rest and had no interest in looking.
His cultivation advanced to the Emperor Tao Eighth Heavens. It seemed to become increasingly difficult.
Chen Pingping watched Earth Chicken closely for a while before uttering, "Are you really not going to lay eggs?"
Earth Chicken was furious.
Breeding Exclusive System:
Host: Chen Pingping, active days 19,999.
Pet 1: Lao Huang, level 9, days bred 19,800.
Pet 2: Hei the dog, level 8, days bred 19,200.
Pet 3: Descendant of the Ancient Phoenix, bloodline concentration 41%.
Pet 4: Devouring Sky Beast, growth +5%.
Breeding level: 7.
System Notification: Please tame the Emperor Spirit as soon as possible, completion progress is 11%.
After glancing at the system panel, Chen Pingping was startled.
Lao Huang is level 9 now? Hei is also Level 8. Only my breeding level is still stuck at Level 7.
Chen Pingping’s mouth twitched. Ah, I really am a failure as a master.
The Earth Chicken’s bloodline concentration had increased to 41%, which was a pretty good yield. But as for the Devouring Sky Beast, the Emperor Spirit...
When will it ever end?
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, suddenly remembering something, and asked Jiang Ni’er, "When you were divining the Heavenly Dao, did you see my two junior sisters?"
Jiang Ni’er shook her head. "No!"
Huh? Strange, with all the commotion the Golden Raven Egg caused, these two girls didn’t come running out.
The Earth Chicken snorted. "Maybe they got eaten by Ancient Ferocious Beasts?"
"No way!" Chen Pingping smiled faintly; he was quite confident about this.
Lao Huang is a Level 9 Spiritual Beast. I don’t know how the Demon Race’s levels are calculated, but Level 9 should be equivalent to some realm of the Human Clan. It ought to be quite high.
Besides, there had been news before of Zi Ji chasing after Ancient Ferocious Beasts.
So, Lao Huang should be capable of deterring the Ancient Ferocious Beasts.
As for Guang Xiaoyu, she complains about her Mao Qiu every day, yet she takes it with her every time she goes out. I suspect this little girl has some scheme up her sleeve.
I don’t even know who the master is anymore, he quietly seethed.
"Shall I do a divination?" offered Jiang Ni’er.
"No, definitely not," Chen Pingping’s face darkened. "If they aren’t in this area, that means they are deeper in. Maybe we’ll run into them if we keep going."
He wasn’t worried about the safety of the two women. Zi Ji leading Lao Huang should be sufficient for self-protection. With Guang Xiaoyu having Mao Qiu on her shoulder, there shouldn’t be a big problem...
His main goals for entering Soup Valley were twofold.
First, to find a way to get the acknowledgment of the Emperor Spirit.
Second, to look for his master.
The group continued onwards, heading deeper into Soup Valley.
"By the way, are you really unable to lay eggs?" Chen Pingping suddenly glanced sideways. "I want to see if a phoenix egg looks the same as a chicken egg."
The Earth Chicken’s expression darkened, gradually reaching the level of "pain" Chen Shixian often displayed.
It felt a murderous urge.
Chen Pingping sighed. "Ah, I should have brought the Eight Treasures Chicken."
Truly, a miscalculation!
「...」
The depths of Soup Valley are dangerous, with powerful fierce beasts lurking everywhere.
But to Chen Pingping and his group, this was nothing to fuss about. The Emperor Spirit had Hei and the Earth Chicken on his shoulders. Their mere presence, the fluctuations of aura emanating from them, were enough to deter the beasts.
The ferocious beasts slumbering in this area were all startled awake. They lifted their heads to look towards the distant Emperor Spirit, then quickly fled...
「Several hours later.」
The Emperor Spirit suddenly stopped.
Ahead in its vision, there appeared a large mountain—or rather, it didn’t quite seem like a mountain. It was exceedingly tall and stood straight, like a sword aiming to pierce the sky.
Surrounding the mountain were overlapping ranges, undulating with lush greenery, vibrant with life, at a glance reminiscent of a primordial world.
The sky in the Heaven Domain was gloomy and dim, devoid of light, exuding a strangely oppressive feeling.
Jiang Ni’er said, "Chen."
Chen Pingping looked up. "What is it?"
Jiang Ni’er pointed ahead. "The Fusang Tree."
"Ah?" His mouth fell slightly agape. He had thought it was a mountain similar to Sword Mountain; he never imagined it was the legendary Fusang Tree! It didn’t look like it, though!
The Earth Chicken said, "It’s just a branch."
Good heavens. A branch that huge?
Chen Pingping’s eyes sparkled. Found the raw material for the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.
Just then, a voice came from behind, "The Fusang Tree is not just any tree. It has its own Spiritual Intelligence. Moreover, the Golden Ravens have been guarding it for generations. Maybe one of their ancient ancestors is sleeping here. If you dare to get close, you won’t even need to touch the Fusang Tree; a terrifying Golden Raven will probably rush out to kill you."
Chen Pingping instinctively turned around.
The newcomers were Wu Mo and his group. As they spoke, they too were sizing up Chen Pingping, their gazes burning as they looked at the majestic Emperor Spirit, exchanging knowing glances.
"You are very lucky," Wu Mo began. "Usually, no one could reach this place. However, recently, for some reason, this path has become clear. The ferocious beasts are making way, hazardous terrains are disintegrating on their own, and the restrictions and seals have been mysteriously broken by someone."
Chen Pingping smiled faintly, offering no explanation.
A young man beside him added, "No matter what you’ve encountered, we can take you with us when we cross this area later."
Chen Pingping was taken aback. "Eh? Can’t I walk on my own?"
Feng Yuhan glanced at the Emperor Spirit and spoke with a hint of mockery, "My friend, you are very lucky to have made it this far all by yourself. But if you insist on crossing this area alone, there’s only one way out: death."
Wu Mo narrowed his eyes affirmatively. "Indeed. Running into us is your second stroke of luck."
