Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Divine Egg

Su Yang, of course, did not believe it was merely a simple loop inside this place. The monster was trapped here but was prevented from moving deeper; there had to be a reason for that. Inside, there might be something crucial.

Moreover, Su Yang even suspected that the person who had originally sealed the monster here had done so precisely to use the creature as a guardian. With a monster guarding the place, ordinary people would have no means of entering it at all.

If that were the case, there might be other restrictions within this cave.

Since the person from the past could use such a monster to guard this place, they certainly possessed other abilities that allowed them to set up additional prohibitions.

But what kind of prohibition could make someone go in circles inside?

Suddenly, Su Yang remembered the formation Chapter in the Destiny’s Tome, which contained profound and complex arrays not easily studied. However, after obtaining the Bronze Seal Script, he had roughly reviewed them and had a fair understanding of some formations.

Among these formations, some had the effect of making a person wander endlessly within an area, unable to find a way out. Such was the principle behind Zhuge Liang’s Eight Trigrams Formation, which, despite covering only a small area, could trap thousands of troops within, unable to escape.

Could it be that there were also formations guarding the inside of this cave?

With doubts in mind, Su Yang entered the cave once again. This time, he moved very slowly, highly focused, carefully observing everything around him.

After walking about half the distance, the cave showed no change, but Su Yang suddenly stopped. He faintly felt that the spiritual energy here was denser than in other places.

The cave was filled with water that contained spiritual energy, and the energy within the water was approximately the same throughout. Yet, there was slightly more spiritual energy in this particular place. Though the change was not substantial, Su Yang, due to his concentrated spirit, could clearly sense it.

Su Yang stood there, looking closely around, but did not find anything peculiar.

He slowly reached out, touching the walls around him. This time, Su Yang discovered the problem. Above his head, a section of the wall had noticeably more abundant spiritual energy than the rest. The richness of spiritual energy here was indeed due to this section of the wall!

A thought struck Su Yang, and he gently knocked on the wall, finding it hollow. Without hesitation, he immediately broke through the wall.

When the wall shattered, a dark cavern indeed appeared. The spiritual energy inside the cavern was vigorous, much stronger than the energy outside.

Su Yang crawled into this stone cave, moving upwards for about five minutes, until finally, a spacious stone chamber appeared above.

The chamber was about as spacious as a basketball court, and unlike the cave, it contained no water, resembling a dry land.

Walking through the chamber, Su Yang was extraordinarily vigilant. If there was such a water monster guarding the outside, could there be other powerful creatures inside?

After a careful look around, he found no living creatures.

In the center of the chamber, there was a small pool, surrounded by particularly dense spiritual energy.

Approaching the pool, Su Yang was astonished to discover that inside the pool, there was an egg the size of a fist.

The egg looked very odd, and the spiritual energy was emanating from its shell. The shell also emitted a faint glow, which reflected on the water’s surface, creating a pattern of light and shadow.

Su Yang was even more astonished in his heart, what kind of egg was this that it could emit such spiritual energy?

He could feel that the spiritual energy in the water was also emanating from this egg.

Only now did Su Yang understand; all that talk about the River God emerging was probably nonsense. The real spiritual energy was coming from this egg all along. The so-called River God was probably what they were referring to this egg.

Su Yang recalled the records in Destiny’s Tome, stating that eggs laid by some powerful Divine Beasts could absorb nature’s spiritual energy on their own. However, because it was ultimately still an egg, it couldn’t store too much spiritual energy. Therefore, the absorbed spiritual energy would be periodically released. Probably, that was the main reason for the River God’s emergence!

With this thought, Su Yang was even more shocked. Could this be the offspring of some powerful Divine Beast? If that were true, then Su Yang would have struck it rich this time. Taking this egg back, he guessed he wouldn’t even need the Spirit Gathering Array, as the spiritual energy absorbed by just this egg would be enough for Su Yang to cultivate.

While Su Yang was secretly rejoicing in his heart, suddenly, there was a crackling sound from the egg. And then, a tiny crack appeared on the eggshell.

The crack quickly spread, and soon the entire eggshell was covered with such cracks.

A sense of alarm struck Su Yang’s heart. Was the egg about to hatch?

Before Su Yang could ponder further, there was another crackling sound from the eggshell, and a small piece of eggshell fell off, revealing a tiny head.

It was a head the size of a little finger, tender and pink, with eyes not too big but shining black, looking very cute.

The little one cautiously looked around, then struggled hard to push open the surrounding eggshell. Finally, after almost half an hour of struggling, the little one hatched.

Su Yang was dumbfounded watching beside it, having witnessed the entire process. But what puzzled him most was what the little one looked like after coming out.

Su Yang had thought that something like a powerful Divine Beast would emerge from the shell, but what was this thing?

A tiny head, tiny limbs, a tiny tail, and a cumbersome shell—was this a turtle?

After observing carefully for a while, Su Yang finally confirmed: from this mighty Divine Egg, a little turtle had indeed hatched!

Su Yang was speechless. What in the world was happening? He had thought a powerful Divine Beast would emerge, but it turned out to be a turtle—was this some kind of joke?

But Little Turtle didn’t care about Su Yang’s baffled gaze; it wobbled over to the pieces of eggshell, snapped a piece off with a crunch, and chewed leisurely.

Su Yang was gobsmacked as he watched. He remembered what was written in the Destiny’s Tome about Divine Beasts, where it mentioned this kind of situation.

The eggs laid by those powerful Divine Beasts contained incredibly potent essences. After hatching, the young would first eat the eggshell to replenish their essence and their innate energies.

It seemed the little guy was doing just that!

Little Turtle paid no mind to Su Yang’s astonishment, chewing for a long time before extending its neck to swallow the piece of eggshell, then bit off another piece and began chewing again, slow and steady.
