Chapter 515 The Limitless Embryo
′？ ？ ？ 』
Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, his expression one of surprise.
Unlike the golden eggs, he was unable to sense Aji's three meridians through the Covenant, as if separated by a thin membrane.
"Is it a matter of distance, or is the Aji Three Meridians still undergoing transformation and development, not yet fully manifested, so that I cannot perceive them?"
Chen Beiwu's thoughts raced, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.
"come over."
After a long while, Chen Beiwu looked up at the giant egg and waved.
He was curious whether Aji would have the ability to move in egg form and whether he would obey his commands.
boom!
The answer was revealed instantly.
In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth trembled, and a two-colored rainbow light broke through space, rushing towards Chen Beiwu with lightning speed.
"What kind of speed is this?" Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted.
fast!
too fast!
At this moment, even with Chen Beiwu fully activating his divine sense, he was unable to detect the figure within the rainbow light, let alone react in time.
"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hah!" "Eek!"
The four little guys, Jindan, Tiedan, Xuele, and Zhiling, were also startled.
They were seasoned veterans who had encountered many formidable opponents, but they had never seen such extreme speed.
It is no exaggeration to say that, in terms of speed of escape alone, even the Thunderous True Monarch at the ultimate sublimation and explosion is far inferior to the rainbow light in front of him.
Despite their fright, the golden eggs and their keen senses allowed them to detect that Aji's escape light had no murderous intent. As it approached Chen Beiwu, its speed suddenly slowed down, radiating a joyful and affectionate aura.
boom!
When the giant egg crashed into Chen Beiwu's arms, a shockwave surged, sand and gravel flew, and dust billowed up.
Chen Beiwu felt as if he had been hit by a star, and his body was forced to retreat uncontrollably.
tread!
tread!
tread!
Chen Beiwu's feet left a deep ravine, and he retreated ten steps to dissipate the force, causing the ground within a ten-zhang radius to sink by a foot before he could barely stop. Even so, Chen Beiwu's blood surged, his true qi trembled, his hands holding the giant egg trembled slightly, and even the bones in his body made a series of cracking sounds as they could not bear the weight.
"Ahem!"
Chen Beiwu coughed twice, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. He felt a heavy weight on his chest, as if he had been beaten by a high-level body cultivator. This was no exaggeration; even the attack from True Monarch Lei Ming hadn't brought him such pressure!
In other words, Chen Beiwu was able to sense the surging joy and dependence in Aji's heart through the connection between the two contracts; otherwise, he would have even thought that Aji had rebelled and wanted to kill him.
"Buzz!"
Upon noticing Chen Beiwu's injury and bleeding, the giant egg stiffened slightly, conveying a sense of panic and helplessness.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all," Chen Beiwu said through gritted teeth.
He wasn't lying; it didn't hurt that much, but his hands, which were holding Aji, were numb and had lost some feeling.
Don't underestimate this point. Chen Beiwu cultivates the Jade Purity Primordial Immortal Technique, and his physical body is no less than that of a fourth-level body cultivator in the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World. He can even withstand a fourth-level low-grade Xuanbao.
The result was that even someone with his physique almost couldn't withstand Aji, which means that if an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch were hit by the giant egg like that, his physical body would most likely disintegrate, and even his Nascent Soul might not survive.
The giant egg shook, and believing it to be real, the panic it emitted gradually dissipated.
"You seem much more immature than before."
Chen Beiwu reached out and gently stroked the giant egg, transmitting his thoughts through telepathy.
"Buzz?"
The giant egg paused slightly, a look of confusion on its face, as if it did not understand the word "naive".
"Huh?" (How did it turn into an egg?)
The golden egg brought its three heads closer, deliberately leaving Chen Beiwu and Aji out of the way.
"Qi has its decline, spirit has its dissipation, and blood has its depletion."
Some powerful and talented primordial beasts can return to their original form, emulating the ancestor of all beasts, shedding their demonic bodies, sealing all their cultivation and bloodline back into their origin, and returning to the womb of heaven and earth. This is called rebirth and transformation, also known as Nirvana Rebirth. "Chen Beiwu explained.
He had read ancient books in the Immortal Alliance and had seen examples of cultivators undergoing Nirvana with beasts, transforming into embryos of heaven and earth, and their bloodlines undergoing metamorphosis.
Simply put, Aji is currently like a baby in the womb, needing to accumulate enough bloodline essence before it can break out of its shell and become a fifth-order creation beast coveted by the gods.
"Woof." (Oh, I see.)
Tie Dan was quite supportive, nodding and giving a knowing look.
"Hey."
Schiller couldn't help but grin mischievously.
Aji has now turned into an egg, so it's a good time to give him a new name.
We already have the Golden Egg and the Iron Egg. Since Aji may transform into a fifth-order Creation Beast in the future, why not call him Yuan Egg? It's a convenient and easy-to-remember name.
Zhiling resolutely objected, believing that Xuele lacked aesthetic sense when it came to naming.
The term "Yuan Dan" sounds rather hasty!
"Buzz".
Aji didn't care about the name. He swayed his body and carefully leaned against Chen Beiwu's shoulder.
"Okay, stop fooling around."
Interrupting the little ones' banter, Chen Beiwu placed his right hand on the eggshell, his mind sinking down as he attempted to probe Aji's three meridians.
Unlike before, this time there was no sense of failure.
After transforming into egg form, the intertwined yin and yang patterns within Aji's body emitted a faint glow, outlining a special primordial vein containing the essence of heaven and earth. To Chen Beiwu's regret, although this primordial vein was different from before, with all cracks gone and a mysterious and imperceptible Daoist aura emerging, it did not provide him with any enhancement to the purity of his spiritual root.
After pondering for a while without finding a reason, Chen Beiwu suppressed his doubts and looked at Aji's pulse.
Although there are precedents of demon beasts turning into eggs in the ancient books of the Immortal Alliance, he really couldn't rest easy without seeing it for himself.
「金97（99），木97（99），水97（99），火97（99），土97（99）。」陈北武心中鬆了一口气，欣然一笑。
Aji's innate spiritual root purity has returned to the Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, indicating that his activation of the Fate-Controlling Fetus Divine Power this time has not failed; he just needs time to develop the bloodline power contained within his body.
Once Aji's innate five elements spiritual root purity reaches 99, he will have an additional fifth-order creation beast under his command, making him virtually invincible within the Nascent Soul realm. His chances of becoming a True Venerable God in the future will also increase by 10-20%.
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense and probed Aji's lineage.
Deep within the Dharma lineage, 7999 fundamental Dao traces radiate brilliant light.
妖王道行6000年到7999年对应的是元婴巅峰真君，道行8000年到9999年对应元婴圆满真君。阿吉如今的道行是7999年，说明其距离妖王圆满仅有一步之遥。
"No wonder!" Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
It wasn't that he was weak and couldn't even catch Aji's charge, but rather that Aji, after being enlightened by the Divine Power of Fate and Embryo, was simply too strong, holding an absolute advantage in both cultivation level and bloodline aptitude.
To put it bluntly, even if Aji is an egg now, it is still the egg of the Demon Lord.
If any cultivator dares to underestimate it, they probably won't even know how they died!
"Roar?" (What kind of creation technique has Aji awakened?)
The golden-egg dragon lowered its head slightly and asked with concern.
What is the Art of Creation?
From nothing comes something, and all things are transformed; all changes in the world depend on the one who wields the power of creation.
In short, a third-tier treasure technique can borrow the power of heaven and earth, a fourth-tier profound ability can control the power of heaven and earth, and a fifth-tier creation technique can change the rules of heaven and earth. The golden egg had also awakened the creation technique, so it naturally knew the power of such profound abilities.
Even if its bloodline has not yet reached the fifth level and it cannot perfectly unleash the power of the Creation Yuan Technique, it can still easily kill enemies beyond its level, let alone Aji whose bloodline has already reached the fifth level.
Chen Beiwu glanced at the golden egg and realized that the little guy had developed a competitive spirit.
That's good!
Without sufficient competitiveness, the golden egg could not grow from a single golden scale into a three-headed black dragon.
Chen Beiwu probed with his divine sense, reaching deep into Aji's lineage.
【The Womb of the Limitless】
【Two Elements and One Qi】
"Only two innate profound abilities?" Chen Beiwu frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, a fifth-order Creation Beast should possess five to six innate profound abilities, but Aji only awakened two, which is somewhat illogical.
Unless those two innate talents are extremely powerful!
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense, and a profound and mysterious information surged into his mind.
[Mysterious Connection]: The Limitless Embryo
【property】:???
[Rank]: ? ? ?
[Introduction]: Wuji is without beginning or end, without inside or outside, without form or image. To generate Wuji Qi, one needs the essence and soul of the two great true dragons, Qian Yang and Kun Yin, as fuel to refine even a wisp of it.
Those who are protected by the Qi of Wuji are not harmed below the level of Nascent Soul. They can also be born into the Wuji embryonic cavity, free from external evils and dust, and evolve a bit of the innate essence of Wuji, returning their bloodline to their ancestral origin and directly pursuing the true dragon.
"ⅠⅠ"
Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted; this was the first time he had ever seen a Xuan Tong who, even with the same cultivation lineage, could not display specific attributes and grades.
What Chen Beiwu found even more astonishing was the content of Xuan Tong's introduction.
What does it mean that those below the Nascent Soul stage cannot be harmed?
This means that Aji's eggshell has terrifying defensive capabilities. Unless a Nascent Soul True Venerable takes action, even a Nascent Soul Perfected True Monarch using all his methods will be unable to do anything to it.
However, there is always someone better.
The eight characters in Xuan Tong's introduction, "Bloodline returning to its ancestral origin, directly pursuing the true dragon," truly exemplify the saying that the fewer the words, the greater the significance.
Chen Beiwu used his divine sense to share information about this supernatural ability with the golden eggs and the others.
As expected, when the golden eggs learned of Xuan Tong's information, their eyes changed and they were shocked.
"roar?"
The golden egg raised its dragon claw and looked at Chen Beiwu, somewhat eager to try.
Facts speak louder than words!
It wanted to test just how powerful the profound abilities that could ignore beings below the Nascent Soul stage were, and whether they could surpass its own Three Phases Undying and easily resist the Three Absolute True Qi.
Chen Beiwu's mind stirred, and he asked Aji for his opinion.
"Buzz".
Aji shook his head, but did not refuse.
The reason is simple: it couldn't sense the slightest danger emanating from the golden egg.
Sensing Aji's emotions, Jindan's dragon eyes widened, feeling as if it had been slighted.
It held nothing back, its dragon claws wrapped in the Three Absolute True Qi, radiating a three-colored mysterious light, and it slashed fiercely at Aji.
As the true energy surged, space tore apart, striking Aji's eggshell head-on with lightning speed.
"Crack!"
The surface of Aji's eggshell shone brightly, completely undamaged.
Instead, the Three Absolute True Qi wrapped around the Golden Egg Dragon Claw quietly collapsed and vanished without a trace.
"What an outrageous defense!" Golden Egg exclaimed incredulously.
It could clearly sense that the instant the Three Absolute True Qi touched the eggshell surface, a mysterious force suddenly swept away and annihilated the True Qi. That was a power that a Fourth Realm Demon King shouldn't possess, existing in another dimension!
"Should we try again?" Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
The golden egg shook its head.
No matter how confident it was, it didn't believe that it could withstand the power of the Demon Lord with 3999 years of cultivation.
"How much does it consume when using Xuan Tong for defense?" Chen Beiwu touched the eggshell.
Aji pondered for a moment, then shook his body to show that he hadn't felt any fatigue, but rather a bit warmer.
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart stirred slightly.
This defensive capability doesn't require any price to pay, so wouldn't he be able to use Aji as a defensive Tongtian Xuanbao (a powerful magical artifact) at crucial moments to block the opponent's surgical techniques?
"Buzz".
Aji swayed his body to indicate that he was okay.
It will issue an early warning if it encounters threatening magical or mystical techniques.
Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling were all surprised by this.
Aji, in his egg form, is so easy to talk to!
If it were the old Aji, he would definitely have bargained with Chen Beiwu, and even felt that this would damage his reputation.
Ignoring the little ones' complaints, Chen Beiwu explored Aji's other mysterious passage.
[Xuantong]: Yin and Yang as one Qi
【property】:???
[Rank]: ? ? ?
[Introduction]: Heaven and Earth return to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang evolve into one Qi. The Qi of Yin and Yang can overturn Heaven and Earth, and shatter the foundation of one's cultivation. If a being below the Nascent Soul stage is tainted even a little, their entire cultivation will vanish.
Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered, sensing that something was amiss.
As a fifth-order Creation Beast, Aji's awakened talent should have a very high upper limit, and should not be unable to threaten a Nascent Soul True Venerable.
Unless these two profound techniques, one offensive and one defensive, are merely transitional spells used by Aji Egg in its self-protection and growth form, and will gradually transform into true creation techniques as Aji grows.
Of course, this was just Chen Beiwu's guess, not an absolute certainty, but with the blessing of the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon, his premonitions were rarely wrong.
"Can I see your Yin-Yang Qi?" Chen Beiwu asked in his mind.
"Buzz".
Aji leaped backward, creating a large crater in the cave floor, indicating that this profound technique was dangerous and required considerable energy expenditure.
If the Yin-Yang Qi Mystic Power is used more than three times in a day, it needs to fall into a deep sleep to replenish the Mystic Power consumption.
After a moment's thought, Chen Beiwu decided not to let Aji continue using the Yin-Yang Qi technique.
The reason is simple: Aji is currently an egg, and the most important thing for him now is to accumulate strength to grow and break out of the eggshell as soon as possible, rather than wasting his strength.
If a real battle is needed, the golden eggs are enough to solve most problems.
If he encounters an opponent he can't defeat, Chen Beiwu doesn't need to risk having Aji stolen while continuing to fight; it's better to get away as soon as possible.
Chen Beiwu changed the subject, activating the Primordial Immortal Technique and using the Co-existence Contract to teach Aji, to see if the latter could cultivate the immortal technique during the embryonic stage. As expected, Aji failed in his cultivation.
The reason is simple: during the Wuji Embryonic Storage period, Aji's physical body had not yet taken shape, so he could not use immortal techniques to cultivate. He could only absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the eggshell, and his growth rate was extremely slow.
"The level of a Fifth Realm Demon Lord is too high. Relying solely on the resources of the Southern Wilderness to transform is somewhat difficult. If he could receive guidance from the Immortal Alliance's Nascent Soul stage and be nurtured with the help of sect resources, Aji's future path to becoming a Demon Lord would be smoother."
Chen Beiwu's mind raced as he prepared to clear Aji's name and origins within the Immortal Alliance.
