Chapter 833: Chapter 839: Great Fortune
The chaotic spiritual energy raging around him told Li Zhirui that the battle among the powerful had not ended yet!
Instead, as time passed, it had become even more intense!
Waves of chaotic energy spread outward, and the once serene Void was now filled with the roaring of storms.
"Roar!"
Just as Li Zhirui was about to take shelter in the space, he heard a roar and a brief conversation.
"Mo Ling!"
"Gently handle that Qilin Egg..."
Li Zhirui didn’t hear the rest of the sentence because a storm was about to engulf him, forcing him to retreat back into the space.
Seeing Li Zhirui return in less than half an hour, Shen woke up from his dejection and asked anxiously, "Is the great battle still ongoing outside?"
"Yes."
Li Zhirui nodded, pondering the conversation he had overheard.
It seemed like two mighty beings were fighting fiercely over a high-grade Qilin Egg!
"If that’s the case, how high could the grade of this Qilin Egg be?"
Li Zhirui had to admit he was tempted. A seventh-order, or even higher Qilin Egg would significantly enhance his qualifications if it matched his attributes!
Moreover, he wouldn’t have to worry about its lineage for a long time.
However, Li Zhirui only thought about it; despite his eagerness, he wasn’t blinded by greed.
He was just a minor Nascent Soul Cultivator, and participating in a fight between two unknown power levels would mean not even knowing how he might die.
Li Zhirui didn’t qualify and didn’t have the ability; he could only hide in the space, waiting for the battle to end.
Several days later, when Li Zhirui ventured back into the Void to scout, he was pleasantly surprised to find it had returned to its usual calm. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
"The great battle has finally ended! It’s time to go back."
He had been in the Void for nearly a month, spending most of the time hiding in his space. The so-called exploration of the Void hadn’t even started.
Thinking this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.
In fact, Li Zhirui really wanted to visit the battlefield; perhaps he could find an unexpected windfall. However, he couldn’t discern directions or locations—how could he possibly search for it in the vastness of the Void like finding a needle in the ocean?
And what if there were still dangers on the battlefield? His meager skills likely wouldn’t solve anything and might land him in danger.
Li Zhirui, feeling the invisible tether ’binding’ him, started walking towards the direction of the Profound Origin Realm step by step.
"Hmm?"
Having traveled a great distance, Li Zhirui suddenly saw the second color besides gray in his vision!
"Spiritual Objects from the chaos!"
Without any hesitation and ensuring his safety, Li Zhirui flew towards the glimmering green light as fast as he could.
He had thought he would return empty-handed, but near the threshold of home, he stumbled upon an opportunity.
Li Zhirui was very excited, although he didn’t yet know what the spiritual object was. But in the chaos, the spiritual objects were never low-grade.
Maybe it was indeed a stroke of great fortune, during his pursuit of the spiritual object, he encountered no chaotic upheaval, and his flight was as smooth as if he were inside the Profound Origin Realm itself.
"This is..."
After a lot of effort, when Li Zhirui got hold of the Spiritual Object, he was stunned on the spot.
Because what he was holding in his hands was unmistakably a beast egg!
"Could this be the very Qilin Egg that caused the two mighty beings to fight fiercely?"
Li Zhirui suppressed his excitement and immediately entered the space, eager to confirm his find!
As for returning to Wanxian Island? He was no longer in a hurry.
Concerning confirming the grade of a Spirit Beast, Li Zhirui, coming from a Beast-Taming Family, naturally had his ways.
"A beast egg?"
Shen curiously examined the beast egg, which was only about a foot in size and covered with Green Wood patterns, and spoke with an utmost affirmative tone, "This is a high-grade beast egg!"
He could feel a unique pressure emanating from the beast egg, not due to cultivation as Shen was already at Third Order, and the egg hadn’t even hatched yet.
Nor was it due to lineage, as being a Devil Spirit, Shen possessed no such thing.
It was due to its Innate Level!
A mysterious yet truly existing entity.
Half an hour later, Li Zhirui finished all his examinations and said with a surging heart, "This is an Eighth Grade beast egg!"
Eighth Grade, equivalent to the Tribulation Transcending Realm!
That meant this Spirit Beast had a high likelihood of becoming an Eighth Rank Spirit Beast!
And if Li Zhirui was not mistaken, this should be the very Qilin Egg mentioned by the two powerful beings!
A Qilin, a top-tier Spirit Beast that could stand alongside Dragons and Phoenixes.
To Li Zhirui, all these facts may not be the most crucial, but the key was, this Qilin Egg was a Wood Qilin! It perfectly matched his Spiritual Root!
As for how the Qilin Egg ended up nearby, discovered by Li Zhirui, and acquired by him, no one knew, nor did Li Zhirui care to investigate, since he had already obtained such a tremendous benefit.
More importantly, he lacked the ability to do so.
"Eighth Grade?!"
Shen exclaimed, his entire being falling into a stupor.
However, Li Zhirui was no longer paying attention to Shen. What he needed to do now was to bond with the unhatched Wood Qilin, gradually deepening their connection.
Spirit Beasts of higher bloodline grades possessed Spiritual Intelligence earlier; although they weren’t fully lucid, communication was possible!
Whether it heard about the two mighty beings fighting over it or the brief wandering in the Void, which left the Wood Qilin apprehensive, it gave no response at all.
Li Zhirui did not mind; after all, the Spirit Beast Egg was already in his possession, and he could simply take command when it hatched, turning it into his Contracted Spirit Beast, and he could cultivate their bond more gradually in the future.
Now, his thought was to return to the Profound Origin Realm!
First, he had obtained an Eighth Grade Qilin Egg, an indescribably great acquisition; there were no more treasures in the Void worth Li Zhirui’s lingering.
Secondly, it was a matter of escaping danger—who knew the current state of those two mighty beings. If anyone survived and had tampered with the Qilin Egg, wouldn’t Li Zhirui be waiting for trouble by staying in the Void?
But returning to the Profound Origin Realm, with a layer of realm membrane as a barrier and the Heavenly Dao Laws prohibiting entry to anyone beyond Nascent Soul level, even if a mighty being pursued him, Li Zhirui’s safety would be greatly secured.
Of course, Li Zhirui could also hide in space, but he couldn’t possibly hide there forever, could he?
Fortunately, on his journey back, he only encountered some minor storms, and Li Zhirui just had to slightly avoid them; he didn’t need to hide in space.
A few days later, Li Zhirui could already see the glowing Spirit Light of the Profound Origin Realm and immediately activated the Ascension Void Array to send himself back.
"I never imagined that this journey through the Void would yield such a tremendous acquisition!" Even with Li Zhirui’s composure, recalling the events still brought an involuntary smile to his face.
