Chapter 1040: The Reason—An Egg?

Chapter 1040 -787: The Reason—An Egg?

Zhao Yang took a deep breath and asked, “Mr. Qin, what should we do next?”

Qin An slowly replied, “Go find it, go sense it, enter the Dragon Vein. Rest assured, if you enter the Dragon Vein alone, it will resist and might even harm you.”

“But it’s different with me here. I have the acknowledgment of the World Will, and the Dragon Vein submits to the World Will, so it won’t harm me.”

With that, Qin An directed his consciousness to merge into the Dragon Vein.

Seeing Qin An merge in without suffering a counterattack from the terrifying power of the Dragon Vein, Zhao Yang breathed a sigh of relief and followed Qin An, merging into the Dragon Vein as well.

At the moment of merging, Qin An felt a special energy ripple coming from a point very far from the entrance of the Dragon Vein.

Without Qin An’s profound understanding of the Dragon Vein and World Will, figuring out the location would have been extremely difficult.

Fortunately, these difficulties were not a problem.

With little hesitation, Qin An then hurried deeper into the Dragon Vein with Zhao Yang.

The deeper they went into the Dragon Vein, the stronger the peculiar vibrations became.

Even someone as unfamiliar with the Dragon Vein as Zhao Yang could feel the unique power.

“Is this the factor causing instability in our world?”

A look of surprise appeared in Zhao Yang’s eyes.

“But what exactly is this thing?”

Qin An shook his head, saying, “Without getting closer, I don’t know what it is either. But now that we’re here and seeing the situation, let’s get closer and see what might happen.”

As soon as Qin An said this, Zhao Yang nodded in agreement.

Then, the two continued advancing towards the depths of the Dragon Vein.

After they had advanced for a while, Qin An suddenly stopped in front.

Zhao Yang showed a look of confusion, unsure why Qin An stopped at this point, but he knew it must be something important.

With this in mind, Zhao Yang opened his mouth to ask.

“Mr. Qin, has something happened? Why are you so serious?”

Qin An turned back and said, “We’re here; just look at what’s ahead.”

Hearing this, Zhao Yang looked in the direction Qin An pointed. When he saw what was in front, his whole being showed an expression of shock, as if witnessing the most miraculous thing of his life.

Ahead was a ball of light, only the size of a fist. Though its volume seemed small, it emitted a powerful oppression, one that even someone of Zhao Yang’s level in the Celestial Human Realm Perfection couldn’t resist, making him almost feel the urge to kneel.

But fortunately, Zhao Yang had gone through hell and high water to reach his current status, so he endured the immense pressure, though his legs trembled slightly, he did not prostrate himself.

“Mr. Qin, what is this thing? Why is such a small piece so powerful?”

Zhao Yang felt incredulous, for it was the first time he had encountered this thing.

Qin An said straightforwardly, “This should be an object from that Mysterious World, specifically, it’s an egg.”

“An egg?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang’s eyes widened in astonishment.

He had imagined various scenarios, including a giant monster hiding within.

But he really hadn’t expected not to see a giant monster, but instead, an egg.

Moreover, from Qin An’s demeanor, this egg was more terrifying than he imagined.

Without further ado, Qin An waved his sleeve, and the golden light in front was dispelled by the gust from his sleeve, revealing the situation within.

Indeed, there was an egg inside, roughly the size of two fists.

If one did not look carefully, it would be impossible to notice.

The egg seemed small, but the astonishing power emanating from it was suffocating.

At this moment, Qin An said, “I just connected all the clues and finally figured out what this is.”

Zhao Yang curiously asked, “Mr. Qin, I’m not clear on what exactly this thing is. Please enlighten me.”

Qin An nodded slightly and said, “The final answer should be that it comes from the Mysterious World. There’s no life inside, just an extreme amount of terrifying energy.”

“It’s probably using the egg as a disguise, making it hard to detect, but once this egg remains in the world and gets nourished by the Dragon Vein, it becomes progressively more active, and the energy inside becomes as violent as a roaring bomb.”

“To resolve this situation, we have to discharge the energy from the egg, but how to discharge it is a major problem.”

Hearing this, Zhao Yang furrowed his brows.

“Mr. Qin, you’re the expert in this field. Tell me what to do, and I’ll do exactly as you say. I’ll follow your lead completely.”

He had no choice but to listen; after all, he knew nothing, and what Qin An had just explained, he only got a general sense of. Beyond that, he was clueless.

So he could only follow Qin An; he couldn’t do anything else.

Qin An nodded and said, “Alright, discharging it is actually simple, just break it open. But once it’s broken, the rampant energy will erode this world, exacerbating its condition because the energy is so incredibly powerful.”

“If we discharge it, our previous plans would be for naught, so we need to control this energy, and I need you to do me a favor.”

Zhao Yang patted his chest and said, “Mr. Qin, just say the word, and I’ll help with whatever I can.”

Their original plan had been to lure away this batch of top-tier people to weaken this world’s power, avoiding its absorption by the Mysterious World.

But now, if this thing were to explode, the energy produced would make this world stronger than before.

At that point, it would be beyond control.

Hence, cooperation was imperative.

After thinking for a moment, Qin An said, “It’s simple. I’ll teach you a method to communicate with the Dragon Vein’s power, forming a large net to block off the surroundings.”

“And I will focus on dealing with the energy once the egg is shattered.”

As the saying goes, one cannot serve two masters.

Therefore, he only wanted to focus on dealing with this energy.

However, there would always be oversights, so a double assurance was necessary.

Zhao Yang nodded, indicating his willingness to do so.

Only then did Qin An teach him the array to control the Dragon Vein.

While they were cultivating the power of the Soul Fire, energy is consistent, just different in type, and they could still use the array.

After Zhao Yang learned it, he tried it out and was surprised to find that he could indeed control the power of the Dragon Vein at this location, and could even form a barrier with it.

This was truly amazing.

“Mr. Qin, the things your world cultivates are far more advanced than our world.”

Zhao Yang praised sincerely.

Qin An smiled slightly and said, “Now is not the time to be amazed. Since you’ve joined our world, there’s plenty of time for you to learn new things. Are you ready?”

Zhao Yang took a deep breath and then nodded, “Mr. Qin, I’m ready.”

Qin An said no more, then calmed his mind and began to communicate with this energy.

With Qin An’s continuous communication, the next moment, the immense energy seemed to sense something and broke through the egg, scattering in all directions.

Qin An sneered slightly.

“Trying to run? You can’t escape.”

He raised his hand and punched, mobilizing the qi and blood throughout his body, cutting off all escape routes around the energy.

As this punch was released, the complete power of the Selfless Realm was unleashed, and the energy in front of him visibly began to dissipate rapidly.

However, just as this energy was gradually vanishing, a stream of energy seemed to find a gap and slipped out of Qin An’s attack range.
