Transmigrating into a Demon Spirit to Blow up the Entire World-Chapter 149.1
The cook in the senior provincial official’s mansion was the one who screamed in shock. The dishwasher aunt, who was following behind him, suffered an even greater shock than him, as she ran out to scream after returning to her senses: “Not-, not good! There’s a ghost in the egg!!”
Not only was the aunt’s voice even louder than the cook, but the last syllable was especially ear-piercing as well. This gave Shen Tong a bit of a jolt. The whole egg slightly shuddered on the spot, and when added onto it’s perfectly round, pure white-like jade egg body, made it appear very cute with a much careful look.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t anyone left to appreciate it’s cuteness. Whether it be a ghost, demon or even a god. The common people naturally have a fear towards such things. After hearing the screams of these two, the other people, who hadn’t seen the egg stand up and walk around on it’s own, were also given a fright. The dishwasher aunt frenetically ran out immediately after.
As a result, all the people outside the room disappeared in a flash. Leaving only the dazed Shen Tong, all alone in that place.
If he hadn’t heard wrong, those two people just now, called him an-, uh, an egg?
He immediately became dispirited.
Shen Tong had thought of a thousand possibilities, but had never expected that his original form was actually an egg. After all, in Shen Tong’s mindset, eggs are meant to be eaten. Whether it be a chicken egg, goose egg or even an ostrich egg. — He personally has a special fondness for sunny-side up eggs. Thinking back to the very first person to enter, who was dressed like an ordinary cook, Shen Tong had even imagined his fate of being thoroughly cooked and served on the table as food in his mind, which inevitably made him depressed.
His guess was spot on. That cook had really come over to make cook eggs.
Shen Tong is currently located at the back kitchen of a senior provincial official’s mansion. Moreover, in this Wushan county, everybody knows of the senior provincial official Li Fujiang. In accordance to the adage: the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Although Li Fujiang is merely a senior provincial official, but he is in no way different from an Emperor. Through plundering the fat and wealth of the people, he lives in an extraordinarily extravagant manner. The food and clothes were no less expensive. All the county’s citizens hated him very much. But they didn’t have the courage to express their anger out in the open. Maybe due to their overflowing resentments, a strange disease soon befell Li Fu Jiang. Not only did peculiar white spots appear all over his body, but it also grew in numbers.
Thus, the senior provincial official’s mansion put up reward notices throughout the entire county, seeking out panaceas or extremely precious items that can cure all kinds of diseases at a high price. Under the lure of a large sum of money, a lot of people presented extremely precious items, some presented Stephania Japonica vine, as well as Qinglong Ginseng. Some even presented evil warding talismans, included among these is the small white egg Shen Tong is in.
It was found by a hunter on the oldest Chinese parasol tree in the depths of Wushan mountain. Not only is it two to three times larger than a normal chicken egg, it also feels warm, just like a small stove. The egg’s full rounded shape looks very special as well, and will even glow faintly during nighttime. Thus, it was sent to the senior provincial official’s house as an extremely precious item.
Foodies generally have the same mindset. Li Fujiang thoughts completely coincided with Shen Tong’s line of thought. His first instinct upon seeing this egg is to cook and eat it. Had Shen Tong not been this egg, he would’ve willingly share half of it with Li Fujiang. But he is unfortunately this egg himself, which is really saddening.
The egg enthusiastically fidgeted on the spot, then swiftly decided to use the strategy of ‘if all fails, retreat’. He first, wheezily made it’s way to the edge of the high table, then wobbly stood there like a roly-poly toy as he pondered for a little while. He eventually took a tentative step towards the edge, in order to try looking for the best way to go down.
But he unexpectedly misjudged the distance, causing to him to fall down from the table due to his slight carelessness.
He immediately felt the sky spin as he’s head reeled. In the next second, the egg directly fell down to the ground with a resounding crack.
This fall was not inconsequential at all, as the eggshell’s outer layer had cracked due to the fall’s impact. However, another layer of eggshell was revealed instead of the creature within.
Just like a package being unpacked, this egg finally revealed it’s real appearance and colors. It isn’t as pure white as a jade. But is suffused with multiple auspicious colors, ethereal swirls, and full of dreamy beauty. What’s more, this fall had not only, simply removed the ‘package’, but had also made Shen Tong forget everything in an instant.
He has forgotten who he is, forgotten his origin, and has forgotten why he is in this place.
His mind actually became as blank as a baby’s.
A Phoenix’s nirvana is like having a new life. All the previous impurities and past events are just like flowing water. Whether it be the fragments of happiness, or the scars accumulated throughout the years. All will be gone and washed away to dissipate into the invisible long river. At the same time as this, the Director of Destinies, Siming, who was standing high above the clouds while overlooking the Mortal Realm from a distance, noticed that there surprisingly seems to be a shining golden light and auspicious clouds rising in the direction of Wushan. That he couldn’t help but calculate with his fingers, his expression changed afterwards.
He actually calculated the breath of a Phoenix.
More importantly, there is only one Phoenix within the Four Realms. If he hadn’t calculated wrongly, could it be the god Shen Tong who had vigorously jumped into that Yuyuan in that year had finally returned?
Although Siming’s Immortal power, as the Director of Destinies isn’t inferior. But it is still a long way away in comparison to those gods above, and will be helpless, especially in the face of ancient gods like this Phoenix. But since he couldn’t determine whether this god had truly returned, thus, he didn’t dare rashly report to the Heavenly Emperor before having confirmed this, nor could he speak to others of this. Hence, he could only fleetingly furrow his brows as he temporarily hid this discovery deep inside. He then decided to first find a chance to go down and search the Mortal Realm.
Because the outsiders only knew that the Phoenix god had perished in the battle between the Heavenly Realm and Demon Realm. What they didn’t know was, he didn’t suffer from any grave injuries in the war, but had severed his emotion and wisdom root instead, before jumping down the Yu Yuan in the Westernmost boundary.
Yu Yuan is the land of Phoenix nirvana. The power of the nirvana fire is without equal, as not only can it burn all things, it can even attach to the soul. This eternal fire can never be extinguished, unless the life essence burns out, or having successfully passed through no less than seven lifetimes of refinement and reincarnation.
