Divine Brilliance Chapter 76

Chapter 76 - Lightning Phoenix Egg

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Gong Xinran, Gao Yi and their group soon disappeared towards the high ground of the mountain.

Chuxue looked back unwillingly, then smiled gleefully. “Young Master, this senior Sister is a good person! Why not marry her?”

Zong Shou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, smacking her head as punishment. Gong Xinran, who had an ambiguous relationship with Gao Yi, was something he wasn’t happy about. Even he himself had a person he loved.

Subconsciously a beautiful image appeared in his brain. He shook his head; after all the person he met in his last life was replicated by a computer. Who knows what she looked like in real life?

He was a joke, a true nerd. Only seeing a back view and a dance on that mountain peak, not even speaking a single word, and he was hooked. Even if he knew that she was a virtual character, he couldn’t forget her.

Chuxue held her head, unhappy with Zong Shou’s violence. “Why did Young Master hit me? Was Chuxue wrong? That Gao Yi looks dark and weird, rather than marrying him why not marry you. A Dragon Spirit City Gao Family is so much weaker than our Gantian Mountain. Although you already have a fiancée, our few Monster Kings have had several wives and concubines. Father also told me that master and his family only had you spreading down the bloodline. When old master was around he had hopes for you helping him grow the family, in case the Zong Family get bullied by those direct bloodlines…”

Zong Shou’s mouth twitched. It wasn’t much when others talked about it, but why did it sound so weird from Chuxue’s mouth.

However, this Gao Yi was indeed really suspicious. Even someone as pure as Chuxue could feel it. He had already spent three years with her. With his identity and personality, what kind of women couldn’t he get? If he didn’t truly like her, then why do that?

Moreover, he couldn’t help much. He only hoped that Gao Yi’s killing intent targeted him only. Maybe when he got his hand on that item, he could still make it…

His eyes were really dark as he looked upwards once more. Zong Shou smiled as he flicked her forehead, “If she doesn’t want to, does it look like I can force her? Let’s go, we still need to search for that Lightning Phoenix egg!”

Only after she looked on as Zong Shou walked further and further did she follow closely behind.

——

Along the way they continued to climb up, until around forty thousand feet. Only then did Zong Shou’s footsteps suddenly stop, halting abruptly. He raised his head and looked forwards.

“We are here!”

Chuxue looked along Zong Shou’s point of sight in shock, only to see a giant cliff placed right in front of them. It stretched out from the main body of the Demon Corpse Mountain, tens of thousands of meters away. It was also thirty thousand feet high.

Zong Shou’s eyes slowly revealed a complicated expression. In the next moment he reached out and hugged Chuxue, and then he jumped up thirty feet. A few flying hooks flew out from the Wind Travelling Spiritual Bone around his waist, clinging onto the stone in front of them.

Little Gold, who had been hiding within his sleeves, was on his back, stretching out a dozen tentacles, the ends of which turned into suction-like structures, clinging onto the side of the mountain.

He was like a spider with many legs, climbing upwards swiftly.

Chuxue felt even more weird. How would that Lightning Phoenix egg be at this place?

Thinking back to how her Young Master had performed so much miracles during these few months, she stopped herself from asking, silently ordering the Dark Chill Tiger to protect beside them.

Spirit beasts were formed from soul power and didn’t have any weight themselves. Although the Dark Chill Tiger didn’t have any flying ability, it was still able to follow beside them.

Roughly climbing for ten thousand feet, just as Little Gold’s strength was showing signs of running out, they had arrived at the highest point of this cliff.

This place was a platform several thousand feet wide. Although it was near the middle of the Demon Corpse Mountain, between them was a giant ravine.

Not only were beasts unable to reach this place even the fierce beasts from the skies wouldn’t try to come over.

Zong Shou didn’t bother with what was around him. After placing down Chuxue, he used the Wind Travelling Spiritual Bone to directly jump forwards several times before arriving in the center of this platform.

This area slightly caved in into a hundred-foot wide hotspring. The spring water flowed towards the right side and formed a waterfall.

Chuxue followed behind and stopped right beside Zong Shou. When the hotspring entered her eyes, she exclaimed, “How is there a hot spring here?” She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Young Master, why did you come here?”

Zong Shou’s face had a serious expression, shaking his head but not replying, the glow in his eyes still really bright.

In his memory the fountain here should be a cold fountain, which was also why Chuxue was astonished. There was a natural water vein beneath this stone cliff, which was why water could gather up here.

And since this water was still warm, then that thing here should still be there.

If one followed normal logic, this item would be found by a Day Wandering spirit master ten years from now, after the spiritual energy flood started to affect the entire Cloud Continent. In just half a year it helped his sect develop an Ascended Ancestor.

That sect was destroyed early on in the future, and only some legends were left. Within Zong Shou’s library there was also a copy which recorded this part of history.

He had once felt interested and come over in the game world to check it out. Naturally there wouldn’t be such a thing in the game world.

The only thing he was worried about would be whether or not he could truly make use of the Lightning Phoenix egg within.

His breathing became slightly heavy and after a moment he broke out in a self-mocking laugh. This item was simply too important for him, which was why he went all out for it.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled Chuxue’s hand and jumped into that hotspring without any hesitation.

Descending two hundred feet, Zong Shou’s body moved upwards. The Pine Pattern Wind Sword suddenly came out of the sheath, gathering all the energy of his body, and struck out towards the side.

Because of the water, Zong Shou’s energy was reduced by about seventy percent. Luckily that stone pillar wasn’t tough and with just one touch of the sword, it collapsed to the side.

Zong Shou and Chuxue followed along the current and were wrapped up within. He stabilized his body with much difficulty and floated to the surface. They saw a three hundred foot wide cave in front of their eyes.

The cave was really dark, and they were unable to see anything. However the air here was really fresh, they should be another passage that connected this place directly to the cliff.

Zong Shou casually made a hand-sign, summoning a fist sized ember into his hand and lighting up this cave. Behind him, Chuxue took in a deep cold breath, looking calmly forwards.

In the middle of the cave was a giant purple egg, around five feet tall. Beside it was the eye of the spring, boiling and rumbling water all around. On the surface of the egg shell were many magical patterns, like lightning from a storm, making it look really unique.

Chuxue was rooted to the spot. On the other hand, Zong Shou’s lips rose up slightly, “You don’t need to guess anymore, that is the Lightning Phoenix egg! However, ten thousand years have passed, and there is no life within. Even if we obtain an Allspirit Longevity Jade we wouldn’t be able to hatch it…”

Chuxue took in a cold breath, her eyes open wide. A Desolate Era Lightning Phoenix was also one of the God Beasts. Even the Lightning Eagle, which inherited a tenth of its bloodline, was such a strong beast, really fierce and powerful. It was one of the dream Protector Spirit Beasts of spirit masters!

And the egg of such a God Beast was placed in front of her eyes. Even if she knew that it would be unable to hatch, it still stunned her and made her look out of sorts.
