Chapter 1388: Troublesome “This is…” Beiming Xue was shocked. Earlier on, when Su Zimo fought against many Mighty Figures, she sensed the existence of the stone while hiding in the primordial divine spring. But, now that the stone popped out and rolled on the ground, she was caught off guard. “It’s alive?” Beiming Xue could not help but ask when she saw that Su Zimo was not surprised. “Yes,” Su Zimo nodded and looked at the oval-shaped stone, saying slowly, “This is the true secret guarded by the Beiming clan, not the primordial divine spring.” Beiming Xue was shocked and dumbfounded when she heard that. She had not expected that the secret guarded by the Beiming clan would not be a universal utmost treasure like the primordial divine spring, but a strange stone! She was smart and reacted right away. Her master did not tell her the secret previously. Instead, he told her after everyone left—it must be an important matter! Beiming Xue stared at the gigantic stone for a while and frowned slightly. She could not help but ask, “Is that an egg?” Su Zimo did not reply and asked instead, “Have you heard of a primordial taboo?” “I’ve heard about it before.” Beiming Xue said, “I only found out about it after the news of the battle at Heaven and Earth Valley. In the primordial era, there was an extremely terrifying and powerful life form known as the primordial taboo. That demon beast at your side was a primordial taboo, right?” “Yes,” Su Zimo nodded. “Night Spirit is a Hou, one of the taboos.” “One of the taboos?” Beiming Xue was stunned for a moment and asked, “The primordial taboo isn’t a race?” Su Zimo said, “In the primordial era, there were three major taboos. The Hou was only one of them. The other two taboos were the Dragon Phoenix and Kun Peng.” Beiming Xue was in deep thought. A moment later, her eyes lit up and she suddenly asked, “Master, are you saying that this gigantic egg has a primordial taboo within?” “If I’m not wrong, this should be a Kun Peng egg.” Su Zimo replied. “Ah!” Beiming Xue exclaimed. How strong were primordial taboos? Even the Primordial Nine Races were extremely wary of it. In fact, they even mobilized a large force to kill Night Spirit before he could grow further! Beiming Xue had not expected that her ancestors were guarding such a shocking secret! Su Zimo said, “The reason why I didn’t tell anyone about this was because the secret was way too huge!” “If news of the primordial divine spring is spread, the Nangong aristocratic family might be able to defend this divine spring with their strength. However, if the news of the Kun Peng egg is spread, even the three aristocratic families combined might not be able to defend it, let alone the Nangong aristocratic family!” Actually, this secret was a curse rather than a blessing for the Beiming clan. That was the reason why the Beiming clan’s ancestors were so cautious. Su Zimo said, “The reason why I asked others to leave was firstly because I wanted to talk to you about this. Secondly, this Kun Peng egg is extremely sentient. As you can see, it’s devouring the flesh and essence energy.” “In fact, it could sense the danger outside and did not expose itself beforehand. It only came out when I asked the others to leave.” Beiming Xue nodded. Although the Kun Peng had not hatched yet, it had already displayed extraordinary intelligence! “How… should we handle this?” Beiming Xue frowned slightly and asked. Su Zimo shook his head as well. After pondering for a moment, he said, “We’ll wait and see what happens after the Kun Peng egg absorbs the flesh and essence energy.” “That’s the only way.” Beiming Xue nodded. Right then, her heart skipped a beat, as though she sensed an opportunity! “Master, I might be able to break through soon,” Beiming Xue said. Actually, when cultivating the Martial Dao, one could attempt a breakthrough upon condensation of a Blood Qi Golden Core. The reason why Su Zimo wanted Beiming Xue to continue cultivating was because he wanted her to establish a perfect foundation so that she could head further on the path of cultivation in the future. That was because no one understood the Martial Dao better than him. The Martial Dao Prime Body cultivated Dragon Elephant Force and after his breakthrough, his Essence Spirit even derived a Martial Spirit Fire that was extremely powerful! “Do it here then,” Su Zimo nodded and pointed to the primordial divine spring. Beiming Xue had long reached the realm of breakthrough. Now, after watching a battle between Mighty Figures, her heart was moved and she finally sensed the opportunity for her Essence Spirit! She entered the golden pool and assumed a lotus position to attempt a breakthrough. Su Zimo stood guard at the entrance of the hall. It was not only to protect Beiming Xue, it was also to protect the Kun Peng egg and not let outsiders see it! Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, an entire day had passed. Suddenly, Beiming Xue shuddered and her aura rose continuously, as though some shackles had been broken. In fact, an extremely sharp beam of light shone from her body! “Hmm?” Su Zimo’s expression changed as he nodded slightly. “Not bad, not bad.” Beiming Xue had broken through and entered the Martial Spirit realm! That was the Nascent Soul realm of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend Daos! Not only that, Beiming Xue’s Martial Spirit first transformed into a sharp sword before transforming into its true form. There were many different types of Martial Spirits. Su Zimo’s Martial Spirit was derived from flames. As for Beiming Xue, she derived the sword. If nothing went wrong, Beiming Xue’s comprehension of the Dao of the sword would definitely surpass others in her future cultivation. With the help of such a Martial Spirit, Beiming Xue’s Sword Dao would definitely be extremely terrifying as well! Another two hours passed before Beiming Xue’s aura gradually stabilized. Beiming Xue opened her eyes and could not help but smile when she sensed the changes in her body. “Master, I succeeded.” “Yes,” Su Zimo nodded. Right then, the Kun Peng egg at the side stopped as well—it had already devoured all the flesh on the ground! Even so, the Kun Peng showed no signs of hatching! The flesh in this hall were all Conjoint Body Mighty Figures and even Half-Martial Ancestor experts! That massive amount of flesh and blood essence had not managed to hatch the Kun Peng! The power of the Kun Peng was way too terrifying! Su Zimo was secretly shocked. By the looks of it, this taboo was truly troublesome to deal with. Even super sects might not be able to hatch this Kun Peng, let alone him. Even if it was hatched, the Kun Peng’s appetite would be enough to devour one or two super sects! It was indeed not a coincidence that the Taboo race was rare. If there were a few more Kun Peng that expended such a massive amount of resources, the entire Tianhuang Mainland would be exhausted! As Su Zimo pondered, the Kun Peng egg hopped and came to his side, rubbing against his arm in an extremely intimate manner. Beiming Xue walked out of the primordial divine spring. The Kun Peng egg rolled to Beiming Xue’s feet and circled around her. Although it could not hatch after devouring so much flesh, the Kun Peng egg was clearly extremely happy as well.
