Zong Shou also felt really emotional. In his last life, he was used to seeing all sorts of spiritual herbs and treasures. In comparison, although this Lightning Phoenix egg was valuable, it wasn’t much.
However, those were in the God Emperor game. The top treasures in reality didn’t really show themselves!
His eyes burning as he looked at the giant egg. Zong Shou couldn’t help but feel that the Lightning Phoenix in the Desolate Era was certainly really careful when it hid itself, and really chose a good secluded space.
Hidden here, it would be difficult for even Day Wandering Realm and above cultivators to notice if they didn’t pay attention…
If it wasn’t for that other race’s expert who coincidentally fell into this area, the Lightning Phoenix should have been able to be hatch three thousand years ago.
Even the heavens didn’t want this Phoenix to be born, so there was nothing wrong with him taking the egg.
Taking out a bottle from his sleeves, this time he didn’t directly wipe it on himself. Instead he took off his shirt, using a Willow Talisman Knife to draw out bloody lines on his body. The parts on his back he couldn’t reach, he passed over to Little Gold, using his mind to control it to continue carving on his back. The cuts were half a millimeter deep and blood dripped down his body.
Those marks were right above where his meridians were at. Chuxue was ashen white as she looked on, wanting to talk him out of it, but she knew that Zong Shou was obviously drawing a talisman on his body. She couldn’t afford to disturb him, as that would hurt him instead.
It took an hour before those lines of blood finally showed a picture. Zong Shou’s four limbs, chest and abdomen were nicely the shape of four Lightning Phoenixes. Their beaks were nicely gathered right at Zong Shou’s energy ocean. Around Zong Shou’s body were also numerous spiritual talismans and branch talismans.
His neck also had many small diagrams, which looked like a Lightning Phoenix spreading its wings and flying high, its tail and body connected into an entire being.
Between his brows, he left a thumb-sized space.
When all the talismans were drawn, Zong Shou used the hotspring to wash all the blood off his body. Only then did he use the medicine that he brought along and wipe it all over the wounds.
The deep purple gave Zong Shou’s body a weird aura, which also seemed really beautiful.
In just a short while, all the wounds on his body all turned purple. The four big, one small Lightning Phoenixes seemed to become more sentient and looked more and more life-like. It was like they were about to fly off from his body in the next moment.
Zong Shou’s expression also became deeper and more serious. In his memory, this item was only made into a pill by that Day Wandering Realm expert after half a year, using the total strength of his entire sect before he allowed his disciples to eat it.
He definitely didn’t have the ability and conditions now. The only thing he could rely on was the Energy Swallowing Technique!
“Xue’er, guard me! If this fails, Uncle Yin and you need to leave Donglin Cloud Continent as soon as possible!”
Casually instructing her, before she could even react, Zong Shou walked over to the front of that giant egg. Hesitating slightly, he suddenly pointed right at the tip of the egg shell.
This touch felt like he was touching fine steel, it was really firm and strong. It was also burning hot, like there were tiny bits of electric currents flowing within.
When Zong Shou started using the Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique, that egg shell weakened at a visible speed. After just a short while, his finger stabbed into the egg.
In the next instant, a giant purple electrical current spurted out, charging up along Zong Shou’s arm. Along with that zi-zi sound, the surface of his skin started to smell burnt.
It should have blown his body into shreds immediatel,y but when it passed through his body, it entered that Lightning Phoenix formation.
Zong Shou’s body trembled slightly. Not only did his entire body feel numb, a deep purple glow surrounded his body. From the tip of his finger, large amounts of pure Xiantian essence energy surged in like a raging river. It was a bottomless pit as it charged into his Chakra Meridians.
In a very short while, Zong Shou was already on the path of no return. The Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique couldn’t be stopped now even if he wanted to. He could only let it surge in and rage wildly within his body.
The wounds on his body were healing swiftly, locking and sealing up all the purple lightning within. Similarly sealed within his body was all the essence that was absorbed by the Lightning Phoenix egg.
Chuxue’s heart was pumping when she saw that. Although the purple light was getting dimmer and dimmer, the wounds were looking more and more vicious and ugly, sticking out and twisting around. It was like there was something within them that was moving and struggling.
She tried to take a step forwards, but subconsciously backed away, not daring to get close and touch it.
On the other hand, Zong Shou felt like he was about to explode from all these energy currents.
All the acupoints within his Marrow Meridian were being forced open under this pressure. His Blood and Intelligence Chakra Meridians didn’t last much longer. The twenty-four main meridians, as well as numerous branch acupoints, were all forced open.
Luckily a portion of the Xiantian energy also seeped into his bones, blood, brain, marrow and more, slowly improving his body and building up a stable foundation.
Only when even the Major and Minor Organ Chakra Meridians couldn’t take it, numerous acupoints of those opening up, did the Xiantian essence energy from the egg slowly start to lessen.
The energy within his body went from maniacal and crazy to gentle. Zong Shou directly led it to settle down at various parts of his body.
Although his body felt bloated and really uncomfortable, he was forcefully running the Aura Consolidation Art, along with the Five Phoenix Formation, to seal Xiantian true qi around various parts of the body.
Each bit of Xiantian true qi was really precious. Even if he knew that he was just a step away from death, he didn’t dare to waste any of it.
And the reason why he began training the Aura Consolidation Art a few days ago was in preparation for this moment. The hardest difficulty was keeping all this essence energy within his body.
Those wounds on his body were all healing up, one by one. The five purple Lightning Phoenixes on his body all disappeared, vanishing under his skin. Within the eggshell, the Lightning Phoenix essence energy that was being sent over also came to an end.
However, Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with a sharp glow, as he knew that the true danger, and also the most crucial step, was here.
Just as the Xiantian true qi he was absorbing was slowly decreasing, Zong Shou’s finger suddenly swelled up, and pine nut seed-sized energy ball tried to forcibly charge into his body.
Everywhere it passed, all the meridians were all pushed apart, going along his arm and upwards into his body.
It should have sunk down towards his energy ocean, but just as it reached his abdomen, a portion did sink into his energy ocean while the other directly drilled into his soul ocean. Within his soul ocean, it formed the thirteenth talisman, roughly the Thunderbolt Word, similar in size to the Luck Word beside it. It was changing, sometimes it looked like the Thunderclap Word while sometimes it looked like the Thunder Word.
Zong Shou felt like his head was heavily smacked by someone, feeling giddy for a long while before slowly coming back to his senses.
He sat down in exhaustion, but even so he immediately used his knife as a pen to draw a Seal Word in between his eyebrows. It was the size of a thumb, looking really profound, and it caused the five Lightning Phoenixes to appear once more. The purple lightning around his body danced happily, and his aura rose.
Just like the last stroke on the painting of a Dragon, the effect of the entire talisman formation was greatly different. Before this, there were threads of purple lightning spread on the outside, even some of the Xiantian true qi was showing signs of leaking out.
Once this talisman formation started to stabilize, Zong Shou’s entire aura immediately calmed down and went silent.
