Chapter 1841 - Escape of the Sixth
Chapter 1841 - Escape of the Sixth
"The blessings I have depend on the faith of everyone and my distance from them, while Feng's only depends on the number of people killed...." Lingfeng alone wouldn't ever be able to consume so many terrae himself, so he really needed some kind of miracle to generate the kind of casualties that he would need.
"The Xenoworld Gate...." Tianming looked into the vortex and saw a nonsensical world filled with shadows. "Huh?"
Suddenly, he noticed a small, pale-white egg within his lifebound space had awakened and excitedly jumped about after getting a whiff of the Xenoworld. It came out of his lifebound space and leapt toward the gate. It was the first egg to ever ignore him and run away!
Tianming cried for Lingfeng to shut it and quickly caught the egg in his hand. He had spared so much effort to save Lingfeng from the xenomemory space, so how would he find a single egg within—especially when he hadn't even done symbiotic cultivation with it yet? Lingfeng had only started connecting with the Xenoworld, so he wouldn't be able to locate the egg if it entered, either. The five remaining eggs in Tianming's lifebound space that would hatch into Primordial Chaos Beasts were the most precious things he had. He almost lost one of them! Thankfully, Lingfeng had reacted quickly and closed the gate.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I think there's something in the Xenoworld that can help it hatch," Tianming said. He was currently nearing the fourth level of the Solar stage, which was already rather impressive. To allow Sixth to reach parity with them, it would need a precious kind of energy during the hatching process, and it seemed that neither Orderia nor Violetglory had anything that fit its conditions.
He recalled the dreamscape he had seen when Yin Chen was hatching. There was another cloud-like creature that came out from another world, which was probably the sixth egg’s beast. Its origins should lie within the Xenoworld, so that was probably where it could hatch.
"Be patient!" The egg seemed really mad about being captured. It struggled and hummed, creating a crack on its surface that emanated an eerie aura. It heated up so much to the point that even Tianming's black arm felt pain. But after a while, it stopped and burrowed back into the lifebound space, ostensibly mad and sulking in its corner.
"Damn, this one’s even feistier than Yin Chen was before it hatched." Tianming felt a headache welling up. Primordial Chaos Beasts were far too eccentric, and it seemed that changing their nature would be incredibly difficult. In contrast to the antisocial but mischievous Yin Chen, who had hatched and become quite the hard worker, Sixth was different. Tianming could feel the coldness deep within it. There wasn't a hint of cuteness in its personality.
"Who knows what it looks like...." He did quite look forward to the day it hatched.
Lingfeng said, "If it wants to go in, I can take the two of you in once I'm more familiar with the Xenoworld."
"Alright. We'll be counting on you." The Cyclic Formation had helped them quite a lot when Di Yi was pursuing them within the Xenoworld. But now that Lingfeng could come and go as he pleased, there was probably little risk even if he was discovered.
"Sure thing." Lingfeng closed the gate and returned to normal. He seemed to look forward to being brought to the battlefield; he bore a deep grudge against the celestial orderians.
"You should go back to spending time with Qingyu. I'll have Yin Chen notify you when the time comes."
"Alright!"
"My sister's luck has always been quite bad, so do understand her."
"I will, Brother Tianming." He knew that he didn't quite have a way with words, so he would make up for it with effort.
"Great. See you later." Tianming turned and left.
......
Right as Tianming was about to reach the mountain, he saw a purple-haired youth not far away dressed in loose robes. His face was filled with bright smiles like always. It was none other than Yu Ziqian. Tianming didn't think he would run into him here. He recalled that Yu Ziqian was a Sky Palace disciple as well, but the stigma he received was slightly different. His stigma looked like the character for 'sky (天)', while Tianming's resembled 'void (无)' a little more. According to the sun emperor, those with stigmas could probably go through the Sky Palace Formation. However, Tianming believed that even if he couldn't, he could use his sky plunderer abilities to get him through.
"Boss?! I finally got to meet you! You're so busy nowadays. I heard what you did at Fushen Valley! You're my idol! My respect for you oozes out without end. I'm your most loyal follower! You shine bright like a star in the sky!" Yu Ziqian hurriedly approached Tianming with glowing eyes.
"Stop messing around, you fake believer," Tianming said. He didn't even have an Omnisentient Thread. Not to mention, Tianming's most fervent believer was no doubt Xiaoxiao. "What’re you doing here?"
"I'm bringing Brother Feng divine pills! Didn't you hear? My pill-refining techniques grew leaps and bounds in recent years and shocked the world! I created history! I'm a master alchemy guru now, despite my youth! Oh, I heard you killed the Tumulus Pill God, too. Great, that's one fewer rival for me! I'm at least in the top five when it comes to making pills, and the rest of them are probably twenty times my age. Amazing, right?"
"You're that great?" That did indeed change how Tianming looked at him. In fact, he looked closer and was surprised. "Gan Gangan, you're a solarian now?"
"Haha, it's not worth bringing up compared to your achievements!" Yu Ziqian said, feigning humility. In worlds on the same level as Orderia, even the children of sovereigns are only around the eighth or ninth level of the Constellation stage.
