Gong Xinran, Gao Yi and their group soon disappeared towards the high ground of the mountain.
Chuxue looked back unwillingly, then smiled gleefully. âYoung Master, this senior Sister is a good person! Why not marry her?â
Zong Shou didnât know whether to laugh or cry, smacking her head as punishment. Gong Xinran, who had an ambiguous relationship with Gao Yi, was something he wasnât happy about. Even he himself had a person he loved.
Subconsciously a beautiful image appeared in his brain. He shook his head; after all the person he met in his last life was replicated by a computer. Who knows what she looked like in real life?
He was a joke, a true nerd. Only seeing a back view and a dance on that mountain peak, not even speaking a single word, and he was hooked. Even if he knew that she was a virtual character, he couldnât forget her.
Zong Shouâs mouth twitched. It wasnât much when others talked about it, but why did it sound so weird from Chuxueâs mouth.
However, this Gao Yi was indeed really suspicious. Even someone as pure as Chuxue could feel it. He had already spent three years with her. With his identity and personality, what kind of women couldnât he get? If he didnât truly like her, then why do that?
Moreover, he couldnât help much. He only hoped that Gao Yiâs killing intent targeted him only. Maybe when he got his hand on that item, he could still make itâŠ
His eyes were really dark as he looked upwards once more. Zong Shou smiled as he flicked her forehead, âIf she doesnât want to, does it look like I can force her? Letâs go, we still need to search for that Lightning Phoenix egg!â
Only after she looked on as Zong Shou walked further and further did she follow closely behind.
ââ
Along the way they continued to climb up, until around forty thousand feet. Only then did Zong Shouâs footsteps suddenly stop, halting abruptly. He raised his head and looked forwards.
âWe are here!â
Chuxue looked along Zong Shouâs point of sight in shock, only to see a giant cliff placed right in front of them. It stretched out from the main body of the Demon Corpse Mountain, tens of thousands of meters away. It was also thirty thousand feet high.
Zong Shouâs eyes slowly revealed a complicated expression. In the next moment he reached out and hugged Chuxue, and then he jumped up thirty feet. A few flying hooks flew out from the Wind Travelling Spiritual Bone around his waist, clinging onto the stone in front of them.
Little Gold, who had been hiding within his sleeves, was on his back, stretching out a dozen tentacles, the ends of which turned into suction-like structures, clinging onto the side of the mountain.
He was like a spider with many legs, climbing upwards swiftly.
Chuxue felt even more weird. How would that Lightning Phoenix egg be at this place?
Thinking back to how her Young Master had performed so much miracles during these few months, she stopped herself from asking, silently ordering the Dark Chill Tiger to protect beside them.
Spirit beasts were formed from soul power and didnât have any weight themselves. Although the Dark Chill Tiger didnât have any flying ability, it was still able to follow beside them.
Roughly climbing for ten thousand feet, just as Little Goldâs strength was showing signs of running out, they had arrived at the highest point of this cliff.
This place was a platform several thousand feet wide. Although it was near the middle of the Demon Corpse Mountain, between them was a giant ravine.
Not only were beasts unable to reach this place even the fierce beasts from the skies wouldnât try to come over.
Zong Shou didnât bother with what was around him. After placing down Chuxue, he used the Wind Travelling Spiritual Bone to directly jump forwards several times before arriving in the center of this platform.
This area slightly caved in into a hundred-foot wide hotspring. The spring water flowed towards the right side and formed a waterfall.
Chuxue followed behind and stopped right beside Zong Shou. When the hotspring entered her eyes, she exclaimed, âHow is there a hot spring here?â She couldnât help but ask curiously, âYoung Master, why did you come here?â
Zong Shouâs face had a serious expression, shaking his head but not replying, the glow in his eyes still really bright.
In his memory the fountain here should be a cold fountain, which was also why Chuxue was astonished. There was a natural water vein beneath this stone cliff, which was why water could gather up here.
And since this water was still warm, then that thing here should still be there.
If one followed normal logic, this item would be found by a Day Wandering spirit master ten years from now, after the spiritual energy flood started to affect the entire Cloud Continent. In just half a year it helped his sect develop an Ascended Ancestor.
That sect was destroyed early on in the future, and only some legends were left. Within Zong Shouâs library there was also a copy which recorded this part of history.
He had once felt interested and come over in the game world to check it out. Naturally there wouldnât be such a thing in the game world.
The only thing he was worried about would be whether or not he could truly make use of the Lightning Phoenix egg within.
His breathing became slightly heavy and after a moment he broke out in a self-mocking laugh. This item was simply too important for him, which was why he went all out for it.
Taking a deep breath, he pulled Chuxueâs hand and jumped into that hotspring without any hesitation.
Descending two hundred feet, Zong Shouâs body moved upwards. The Pine Pattern Wind Sword suddenly came out of the sheath, gathering all the energy of his body, and struck out towards the side.
Because of the water, Zong Shouâs energy was reduced by about seventy percent. Luckily that stone pillar wasnât tough and with just one touch of the sword, it collapsed to the side.
Zong Shou and Chuxue followed along the current and were wrapped up within. He stabilized his body with much difficulty and floated to the surface. They saw a three hundred foot wide cave in front of their eyes.
The cave was really dark, and they were unable to see anything. However the air here was really fresh, they should be another passage that connected this place directly to the cliff.
Zong Shou casually made a hand-sign, summoning a fist sized ember into his hand and lighting up this cave. Behind him, Chuxue took in a deep cold breath, looking calmly forwards.

In the middle of the cave was a giant purple egg, around five feet tall. Beside it was the eye of the spring, boiling and rumbling water all around. On the surface of the egg shell were many magical patterns, like lightning from a storm, making it look really unique.
Chuxue was rooted to the spot. On the other hand, Zong Shouâs lips rose up slightly, âYou donât need to guess anymore, that is the Lightning Phoenix egg! However, ten thousand years have passed, and there is no life within. Even if we obtain an Allspirit Longevity Jade we wouldnât be able to hatch itâŠâ
Chuxue took in a cold breath, her eyes open wide. A Desolate Era Lightning Phoenix was also one of the God Beasts. Even the Lightning Eagle, which inherited a tenth of its bloodline, was such a strong beast, really fierce and powerful. It was one of the dream Protector Spirit Beasts of spirit masters!
And the egg of such a God Beast was placed in front of her eyes. Even if she knew that it would be unable to hatch, it still stunned her and made her look out of sorts.
