Chapter 2374: Chapter 2353: The Black Giant Egg

Underneath the shattered red stone mountain.

Lin Feng led Tao Tao, carefully examining the situation of the stone mountain, but to their surprise, there was nothing here. Such a situation made Lin Feng’s eyebrows furrow, his intuition telling him that things weren’t that simple, the more it was like this, the more Lin Feng felt there was definitely an issue.

"Brother Lin, do you think it might be related to that black stone palace from before?" Tao Tao said, holding Tangyuan, with a slight frown. The situation here was clear as day; there was indeed nothing. So he felt if there was anything of value, it should be connected to that black stone palace!

"Makes sense!" Lin Feng’s eyes lit up upon hearing Tao Tao’s words, and he immediately began to clear the ruins with Yuangang. Around Lin Feng, dozens of arms formed by Yuangang appeared, starting to continuously throw the rubble away.

Seeing Lin Feng busy, Tao Tao didn’t idle either. While holding Tangyuan, he also began to help Lin Feng clear the ruins using arms condensed with Yuangang.

It took them a whole day to clear the ruins, and looking at the once majestic black stone palace now reduced to rubble, both felt a myriad of emotions. If they hadn’t come here to fight, this black stone palace wouldn’t have suffered such a disaster.

As they kept searching the ruins, they found nothing, which started to make Lin Feng doubtful. Was there really nothing else in this secret realm?

Suddenly, Lin Feng’s eyes lit up as he realized a possibility. Without explaining to Tao Tao, he moved to the Blood King Evil Hall, glancing at the ruins of the hall, his hands drawing a Taichi in the air before pressing them onto the ground!

"Boom!"

In an instant, everything on top of the ruins flew into the air, revealing the foundation of the Blood King Evil Hall. This scene confused Tao Tao, not understanding what Lin Feng was doing, and he immediately approached Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at Tao Tao, smiled faintly, and pointed to the middle part of the foundation. There appeared an underground passage built with black stone, exposed due to Lin Feng’s forceful approach.

"Wow, it’s hidden here!" Tao Tao smiled at the scene. Who would have thought there was a passage underground? He was truly excited, eagerly anticipating what treasures they might find.

"Let’s go!" Lin Feng said casually, leading Tao Tao into the underground passage.

The entire passage was constructed with black stones, and the properties of these stones were unknown, but they could isolate divine sense. So, Lin Feng and Tao Tao didn’t rush, carefully following the spiral underground passage until they reached a large hall.

The hall was enormous, conservatively estimated at four to five hundred meters in diameter. At the top of the hall, several bright lights hung, illuminating the hall as if it were daytime. In the corners around the hall, many unknown statues were arranged, and right in the center, there was a black stone platform with a huge black egg!

"What is this?" Tao Tao asked Lin Feng as she looked at the giant egg on the stone platform. She was puzzled why an egg would be preserved here.

"If nothing unexpected, it should be the egg of a demon beast. There’s an evil formation here, and those statues can constantly release evil energies to transform this giant egg. I suspect the Blood King Divine Venerable wanted the egg fully transformed before hatching it, but he never expected us to find it here."

Lin Feng looked around and explained to Tao Tao. He hadn’t expected an egg to be here either, but the Blood King Divine Venerable was a Divine Venerable Powerhouse, so whatever he values couldn’t be ordinary. He glanced at Tao Tao and made a decision.

"Tao Tao, why not take this egg? You don’t have a combat spirit beast, and with this, you can protect yourself!" Lin Feng said with a smile. He didn’t need it, and it could protect Tao Tao by letting her carry it.

"Brother Lin, why don’t you want it?" Tao Tao asked Lin Feng with a puzzled expression. She knew the demon beast’s egg must be extraordinary and hoped Lin Feng would take it to strengthen his power and protect her!

"I already have Tangyuan." Lin Feng said with a smile, knowing fully well he hadn’t signed a spirit beast contract with Tangyuan, making the excuse valid.

"I see... alright then!" Tao Tao agreed with a smile after hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, glancing at Tangyuan in her arms. Since Lin Feng already had a spirit beast, it was natural for her to take this instead. However, seeing the situation around them, Tao Tao asked, "Brother Lin, how do we take the egg out?"

"It’s simple, break those statues." Lin Feng casually chuckled and said, then began to swiftly break all the statues around the hall. As soon as the statues were shattered, the evil aura in the hall vanished instantly.

At this moment, Lin Feng smiled and walked forward, raising his hand to pick up the giant egg, about the size of a watermelon, and handed it to Tao Tao.

"Keep this first. When we get to Xucheng, try to find someone to ask about what kind of demon beast this egg belongs to and how to hatch it." Lin Feng said to Tao Tao with a smile.

"Okay!" Tao Tao replied without hesitation, then stored the egg in her space bag, saying to Lin Feng, "Brother Lin, let’s leave here."

"Alright." Lin Feng replied, preparing to leave with Tao Tao, but as he took his first step, he suddenly stopped and glanced at the stone platform that had held the giant egg before moving toward it.

Tao Tao saw this and found it strange, so she followed along. They reached the edge of the platform and noticed several small, orderly holes at its center, clearly placed intentionally, and through these holes, some evil aura was escaping to contaminate the egg!

"There’s something under the table!" Lin Feng said aloud.

"I think so too!" Tao Tao nodded in agreement. Seeing this up close, she also felt there had to be something beneath!

Lin Feng placed his hand on the edge of the platform, exerting some force to flip the platform, revealing everything beneath. There was a groove approximately one meter in diameter, filled with nauseatingly strong, bloody red soil, on which a plant, entirely black, was growing, emitting a dense evil aura. This aura seeped through the tiny holes on the platform to infect the giant egg above.

"What is it?" Tao Tao asked, confused as she looked at the black plant, feeling it wasn’t anything good.

"I don’t know either." Lin Feng casually replied to Tao Tao. His understanding of things in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was limited, but he was sure that this black plant had some special function, which is why the Blood King Divine Venerable took such care in cultivating it.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately activated Yuangang, flipping the base of the platform, then placing the black plant into a space bag separately. Even if he couldn’t use it, he could auction it off later. He planned to discuss with Elder Chu once they met.

Then, he led Tao Tao back along the original path, and once they left the special secret realm, standing inside the initial mountain cave, Tao Tao felt as though she was dreaming. Looking at Lin Feng with eyes filled with excitement, she realized just walking in with Lin Feng, without doing anything special, had netted them a demon beast egg—a stroke of good luck indeed!

Furthermore, seeing Lin Feng truly in action moved her deeply. His style was incredibly suave and impressive, even from afar through divine sense observation, she was astounded by Lin Feng’s true power. Her curiosity peaked as she wondered how Lin Feng achieved such levels—something hard to imagine if she hadn’t seen it herself.

"Let’s go!"

Lin Feng noticed Tao Tao’s demeanor and smiled faintly, then led her out of the cave, continuing towards Ning King Valley.

Along the way, they encountered many people, all of whom were outer disciples of Ning King Valley. They were performing sect tasks, hunting demon beasts or collecting spiritual medicine. Lin Feng and Tao Tao only asked directions and didn’t engage in much conversation.

Without further ado, Lin Feng and Tao Tao finally arrived at Ning King Valley that day.

Upon reaching Ning King Valley, Lin Feng realized it truly was a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides with narrow streets inside, filled with shops. Near the valley’s interior stood a tall wall, marking the true power of Ning King Valley, guarded by four disciples, making it hard for outsiders to reach its core. On a mountain top nearby, a castle-like structure stood prominently.

"So this is Ning King Valley. Grandpa mentioned it before, but I haven’t visited until now." Tao Tao said with a smile to Lin Feng, observing the bustling scene.

"I haven’t been here either." Lin Feng replied with a casual smile, leading Tao Tao into Ning King Valley.

As they entered, they wandered through the districts, encountering many loose cultivators selling items, but nothing caught Lin Feng’s eye. Passing by an inn, Tao Tao’s eyes lit up, making Lin Feng chuckle, leading her inside the inn.
