Chapter 125 - The Egg
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Luo Xiao became absentminded as he looked at the sphere of energy that was right in front of him. His eyes zoned out, and his body became limp. He felt confident that the thing which had been calling for him was this ball of light and energy.
Jiang Yao kept observing both the ball of light and Luo Xiao, but while his facial expression was somewhat grave, his heart was beating rapidly in excitement.
This sphere of energy was not unknown to him. While he had never actually encountered one, he knew what it was, and the fact that it had been calling for Luo Xiao was truly the younger man’s luck.
The pulsating energy that came from the sphere was not only full of heaven and earth essence, it was also full of life force, and it was clear that the whole cave had been kept alive by the energy that was pulsating from the sphere..ᴄᴏᴍ
Luo Xiao looked as if he was in a trance. He was observing the sphere, and he slowly reached out his hand in a daze. A few staggering steps were taken forward, and he gently placed his hand on top of the rotating ball of energy.
The energy, which previously had been pulsating through the surrounding area, suddenly became still and stopped. Instead, all of it began pouring into Luo Xiao’s body so rapidly that his entire skin began shining with a golden hue.
Jiang Yao’s expression turned solemn and grave. He understood that this was a very critical juncture. The energy kept entering Luo Xiao’s body, but if he was unable to withstand it, his body would become a pool of blood; however, if he tried to stop it forcefully, then he would undoubtedly die.
Luo Xiao also felt how the energy poured into his body, but he was not sensing it entering his spiritual energy or even enhancing his body. All the energy used him as a channel and vanished through the bond he had with the small egg that he had picked up long ago.
Back when Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao traveled towards Cloudsoar City, they had attended an auction, and Luo Xiao had picked up a mysterious egg, which most thought was dead.
After performing the Twilight’s Blessing on this egg, Luo Xiao had managed to make a bond between himself and the small beast within. He was unsure what kind of beast it was, but he had constantly been nurturing it with his own energy. However, the process was slow, and the creature had been so close to death that Luo Xiao expected it to take an immeasurably amount of time before it would hatch. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
However, now the life force and energy were using Luo Xiao as a medium to pour all the energy into the small egg. The weak breath of life was slowly growing stronger, and while it was not extremely fast, Luo Xiao could sense the growth without straining himself.
He felt his heart skip a beat and felt extremely excited. While he was not sure what kind of beast it was that was hiding within the egg, he felt a connection with it when he saw it long ago.
Now that it was growing stronger, he was not at all jealous, nor did he regret that the power did not enter his body. Instead, he was ecstatic to know that this poor creature was finally ensuring its survival.
It was as if the sphere sensed Luo Xiao’s happiness, and the energy which was pouring into his body began slowing down. It no longer used him as a medium to transfer the energy into the egg, and began nurturing his body.
While most of the energy ended in the body of the egg, a small part stayed with Luo Xiao. While most of it was spent conditioning his body and making it stronger, a bit was also refined into spiritual energy.
Luo Xiao could feel how his cultivation base was continually rising; however, he was not breaking through into a new realm. It was as if the energy was conscious and understood that it had to be careful not to make his foundations unstable, and instead it focused on nurturing his foundations.
Even though the energy was ensuring that he had sturdy foundations, in fact, Luo Xiao was an Astral Soul, and his spiritual energy was extremely dense and without impurities.
He had a very solid foundation, but he was dragged down by his body. A spiritual energy cultivator was not training their body, but their soul, and Luo Xiao had been confined to a bed for so many years. While he was much better now, he was still not at a point where he was able to contend against others.
This sphere of energy began nurturing his cells, muscles, and body. He felt how he was slowly growing in strength, and while his spiritual energy was also rising, it was nothing compared to the progress of his body.
Luo Xiao was shocked when he noticed the changes that were being made to his body. He was painfully aware that more than ninety-nine percent of the energy was being transferred to the egg, but the one percent which was entering his body had such a shocking effect.
While some would become greedy upon noticing the apparent effects, Luo Xiao became apprehensive instead. This energy was so strong, was the little egg capable of withstanding it?
Luo Xiao had forgotten that the energy seemed to have a consciousness, and upon sensing the worry in Luo Xiao’s mind, it became much gentler. It was like a mother who looked at its child, there was tenderness, pride, and happiness in the energy, and Luo Xiao was stumped. How could the energy have emotions?
