Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 366: Soldier Emperor City, Mysterious Beast Egg
"Give me the stick of the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint," Chen Lan said calmly.
Hearing this, the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint nodded, took out the stick, and respectfully handed it to Chen Lan.
Chen Lan picked up the rather weighty stick, which felt quite handy. Currently, he couldn’t use the Lantian Sword, as too many people recognized it, making it extremely easy to expose his identity. He needed a new weapon.
This stick was a top-grade Chaos Supreme Treasure, somewhat decent, so he would use it for now and replace it when he found a better one someday.
He still preferred weapons like swords or spears; although a stick was a long weapon, it lacked the aggressive lethality of a spear.
"Master, are you looking for a new weapon?" the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint noticed Chen Lan’s expression and asked.
"Oh? By the look of you, it seems you might have a solution for my dilemma," Chen Lan raised his eyebrows, looking at the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint with interest.
"In the memories of my true form, there’s a place called Soldier Emperor City, specializing in producing various weapons and Magical Treasures. Master may find something useful there, and it’s also the necessary route to the Underworld," the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint replied.
Hearing this, Chen Lan paused, beginning to digest the memories of the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint. Just when he destroyed the soul of the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint, he had absorbed his memories, although not fully digested yet.
Soon, he finished digesting the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint’s memories. There was indeed such a place, exactly as the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint had said, the fastest and most convenient route leading to the Underworld. He could take a look.
"Alright, you stay here and maintain this sect, do what you’re supposed to do."
With that, Chen Lan left, wanting to find out what treasure the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint had been hiding from others all along.
It had to be said, the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint was very thorough in his actions. He had completely erased the knowledge about the treasure, probably just before Chen Lan killed him. Unfortunately, he didn’t know that the memories of the Immortal Crane had also been absorbed by Chen Lan, revealing the location of the treasure.
Before long, he arrived at the place guided by the Immortal Crane’s memories—a clear lake, under which lay a hidden basement.
With a wave of his hand, the water in the middle of the lake dispersed, revealing a space. Unfolding the Celestial Eye, he immediately saw an Array under his feet, not very difficult, easily breakable.
Soon, the Array was broken by him, revealing a passage leading downwards. He quickly descended, arrived at a stone door, and not waiting for it to open on its own, he punched it open and stepped inside.
Before long, he discovered a stone platform inside, with something placed on it. As he walked over to pick it up, he was immediately puzzled.
He examined the item in his hand. It resembled an egg, round and smooth, and was red. Listening closely, he could hear a heartbeat from within.
"Is this... a Demon Beast Egg?" Chen Lan said in surprise, but the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint had guarded this treasure for tens of thousands of years, and it hadn’t hatched yet?
That’s a bit exaggerated, right? What kind of Demon Beast is going to hatch out of it?
Besides, such a small egg couldn’t possibly hatch into a very powerful Demon Beast, right?
Scanning the surroundings, Chen Lan found only this Demon Beast Egg, feeling somewhat frustrated, as the treasure he had longed for was just this one egg.
Oh well, since it’s already here, might as well take what he could get.
Chen Lan stored the Demon Beast Egg in the small world within his Dantian, placing it under the Daoist Tree, hoping it would hatch into something strong, otherwise it wouldn’t be worth his effort to retrieve it.
Next, he planned to visit Soldier Emperor City to see if he could find a suitable weapon for himself. Unfortunately, the Thunderbolt Divine Spear was destroyed, though he still had the fragments. He wondered if anyone in Soldier Emperor City could reforge the fragments back into the Thunderbolt Divine Spear.
...
Ye Family.
"Why do I feel so restless today?" Ye Tianhai murmured with a frown.
Today, during his cultivation, he felt restless, unable to sit still, completely unable to calm down to train, his chest felt stuffy, with a sense of foreboding.
But physically, nothing was wrong, and Ye Long was about to become a Dao Emperor; Blue Star had disappeared, and Ye Lan wouldn’t appear for the time being, so why was he uneasy?
"Big brother, there was a situation over in the Spirit Country; two Taoist Saints have died." At this moment, Ye Qingmu walked in from outside, quickly reporting.
"Hmm? Two Taoist Saints? Who were they?" Ye Tianhai slightly paused, a bit of a loss since two Taoist Saints dying was a huge loss. Which power could be so unfortunate?
"Yu Niang and Wind Master, one from Yaochi Sacred Land, the other a Loose Cultivator," Ye Qingmu replied.
Hearing this, Ye Tianhai nodded. He knew both of these Taoist Saints, who were very powerful, but each only had one Great Dao, both formed by their essence. Although a single Great Dao could be quite strong, if they encountered other Taoist Saints, it would still be hard to contend, as it was too singular.
"Who killed them?"
"Xiao Yao."
Upon hearing this name, Ye Tianhai suddenly stood up, looking at Ye Qingmu in surprise, "Say it again, what was the name?"
"Xiao Yao, but that person is already dead, killed by the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint."
Ye Tianhai sat back down, eyes bewildered, dead?
Was it the Xiao Yao he knew?
He knew that Ye Lan had another name in the lower realms, which was Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable. Now hearing the name Xiao Yao, he reflexively stood up.
Since it was someone that could be killed by that kind of character from the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint, it was probably not Ye Lan; he hadn’t grown weak to that extent.
Though he really wanted to kill Ye Lan, he had to admit, Ye Lan was incredibly strong, and his Divine Bone had regenerated; his strength might have reached an unprecedented new level. Currently, only Ye Long from the Ye Family might have the hope to kill this brother of his.
"Has everyone in the Ye Family been sent out for training?" Ye Tianhai sighed.
To prevent Ye Lan from reaching the upper world, he had scattered everyone from the Ye Family, sending them out for training, to avoid the potential massacre of the entire Ye Family by Ye Lan, so that not even a seed could be passed down, which would truly result in the end of their line.
"Everything has been arranged, leaving only a portion of the elite. Their strength is great, and they are all from collateral branches; as long as we preserve the direct bloodline," Ye Qingmu laughed coldly.
The ones left were from collateral branches; if they died, it didn’t matter, but if the direct bloodline perished, it would be a great pity. They needed to rely on them to continue and make the Ye Family flourish again.
Even if a few of them died, these people could continue passing down the Ye Family, and one day they would surely return to their pinnacle.
It must be said, Ye Qingmu’s move was truly ruthless, treating the collateral family members as if they weren’t human, their lives merely expendable waste in their eyes, not worth mentioning.
"Well done, if necessary, you can sacrifice these people to preserve us," Ye Tianhai nodded. He had already made complete preparations to ensure that he could walk away unscathed when the time came.
