Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 285 The Spirit Beast Emerges

Feel the life force slowly flowing inside the "monster egg".

On the eggshell, even the life form inside was faintly reflected—a small, shapeless creature slowly wriggling inside.

Li Yunjing looked at the "monster egg" in his hand and smiled. This little thing was finally about to hatch.

As for whether it will be a top-tier monster or a trash monster?

Li Yunjing didn't seem to care much. He appeared extremely relaxed. In this day and age, Li Yunjing didn't rely on external forces to survive in the immortal cultivation world.

It would be good if the spirit beast was stronger, but Li Yunjing didn't care if it was weaker.

Of course, if this thing turns out to be extremely ugly, Li Yunjing doesn't plan to keep it.

If it's even slightly good, sell it.

It was truly trash, so Li Yunjing didn't want to kill it. He simply threw it away and let it fend for itself.

In the days leading up to the hatching of the "demon beast egg," Li Yunjing put in some effort, holding the egg and continuously channeling his magic power into it to accelerate its growth.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Finally, streams of primordial energy formed a vortex of spiritual energy, continuously pouring into the "monster egg," and the little creature inside seemed to struggle even more fiercely.

Inside the eggshell, there was even a crackling sound, but in an instant, cracks appeared on the eggshell.

A massive vortex of spiritual energy surged into it, and finally exploded with a "bang." The eggshells turned into sharp fragments, flying in all directions like swords.

Seeing this, Li Yunjing erected a layer of multicolored light shield to protect himself. Many of the flying eggshell fragments shot onto Li Yunjing's multicolored light shield, causing it to tremble violently.

"Goodness! This little thing seems pretty good!"

Seeing how powerful this thing was, and how it almost hurt him, Li Yunjing was not angry at all, but rather overjoyed.

This little thing was born with quite a commotion; it looks pretty impressive.

Li Yunjing was already full of anticipation for how this thing would perform.

After the eggshell fragments shot out, Li Yunjing saw that inside the eggshell was a small yellow bird with sparse feathers, which was only three inches in size.

With a pair of big, dark eyes, it looked at this new world with curiosity.

"Chiji..."

The little guy saw Li Yunjing, called out to him twice, and toddled towards him. Its fragile little wings spread out, fluttering and wobbling, looking adorable, which made Li Yunjing smile.

"brat!"

Li Yunjing bent down, reached out and picked up the little yellow bird, examining it curiously.

This little thing doesn't seem as weak as it appears.

Li Yunjing's divine sense swept over the little creature and sensed its hard bones and sharp feathers, indicating that it possessed extremely powerful combat capabilities from birth.

It seems unlikely that ordinary birds, even common eagles, could kill this little creature.

Born at the level of a demon beast!

Moreover, it's a top-tier first-order demonic beast. If this thing grows up, it will at least reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. With a little progress, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm will be incredibly easy for it.

It's still worth nurturing.

The thought flashed through Li Yunjing's mind. He stroked the little bird's head and said with a smile, "From now on, I'll call you Little Yellow. You can come with me!"

"Chiji..."

The little guy was very clever and seemed quite dissatisfied, thinking that the name Li Yunjing had given him was not nice.

A hint of disdain flashed across those large, dark eyes.

"Yo ho!"

Li Yunjing chuckled; this little gadget was quite good, very intelligent.

It's important to understand that in the evolution of living beings, the more intelligent they are, the more promising their future is.

Li Yunjing was very satisfied with Xiao Huang's performance.

This thing has an almost 100% chance of helping you advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm; it has a very promising future!

Li Yunjing touched the little guy again to make sure there was nothing wrong with his bones and physique. Then he took out a "Qi-replenishing pill", crushed it, and stirred it into a cup of spiritual water to give the little guy some nutrition.

Little Yellow was also greedy. It drank the entire cup of spiritual water and a "Qi-replenishing pill" clean in one go, and yet it seemed to be completely unharmed!

It should be noted that a single "Qi-replenishing pill" is quite potent. When Li Yunjing took it, he carefully digested it through meditation, converting it into energy to replenish his body's needs.

This little guy, with his tiny body, seemed like a bottomless pit, showing no reaction whatsoever.

This piqued Li Yunjing's curiosity, so he followed suit and offered another cup of spiritual water infused with the elixir. The little creature knew it was a good thing, so it leaned forward and drank it all in a few gulps.

"Alright! Let's see how much you can eat!"

This time, Li Yunjing directly tossed it a "Qi-replenishing pill." The little guy opened its mouth, caught the pill, and swallowed it in two gulps.

After taking the "Qi-boosting pill," Xiao Huang seemed tired and lay down on Li Yunjing's hand, burying its head under the feathers and falling asleep.

"Ah……"

Seeing the little thing living such a carefree life, Li Yunjing shook his head slightly. This time, he had finally figured out the little thing's appetite.

Being able to consume three "Qi-replenishing pills" at once indicates top-tier talent.

Li Yunjing was filled with anticipation for this little thing.

"If it were someone else, they might not be able to afford to raise them! Only my family is so wealthy and powerful that we can afford it!"

Li Yunjing muttered to himself.

This isn't just Li Yunjing bragging; three "Qi-replenishing pills" a day would amount to nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones a month.

If you ruin this little thing, you'll lose a fortune.

Li Yunjing picked up the little thing, placed it on his shoulder, and then continued his meditation.

Having advanced to the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, all of my cultivation techniques were reviewed.

Li Yunjing had achieved a state of perfect control over his own condition.

With everything in place, Li Yunjing's cultivation went incredibly smoothly, to the point that he was somewhat astonished. He felt his cultivation was like a mighty river, flowing endlessly. Especially when he was tired, he could barely stimulate the sea of ​​lightning within his sea of ​​consciousness, causing the scepter within to vibrate and release a great deal of lightning power.

These lightning forces, starting from the brain, flow throughout the body.

Instantly, Li Yunjing's body was filled with power, and his mind became clearer.

Li Yunjing controlled the flow of true energy along the meridians throughout his body. Some hidden and small meridians were also developed by Li Yunjing, and the amount of true energy that his body could hold increased.

After eighty-one cycles, Li Yunjing's meridians were already incredibly resilient, capable of withstanding the powerful circulation of lightning-attribute true energy.

With only three days left, Li Yunjing's cultivation technique was already in operation, and the true essence in his body flowed autonomously. He could multitask and continue reading the books in his hands.

These classic texts are extremely useful and incredibly complex. Every time Li Yunjing reads them, he makes new discoveries and gains new insights.

These works by sages of past dynasties are a true treasure. If Li Yunjing is not careful, he may become so engrossed in them that he cannot extricate himself.

The more Li Yunjing read, the more knowledge he gained, truly immersing himself in the books and comprehending their profound mysteries.

Of course, it is simply impossible to fully comprehend the essence of these classic texts, especially the third-tier cultivation techniques, in just three years.

Every book has its rare and precious aspects. Li Yunjing didn't know if he could fully comprehend these principles while he was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Dangdangdang..."

On this day, Li Yunjing's "prison ordeal" finally came to an end.

In the world of cultivation, time seems to stand still; the three-year period appears to pass in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the array, restrictions, and talismans around the small building had stopped functioning, Li Yunjing knew it was time for him to leave.

She fed her little yellow dog again and looked at the little guy. He was much bigger than when he was born, and he was already a foot and a half in size.

Its yellow feathers became even more vibrant, like golden sunlight.

The little guy flapped his wings and could already fly, and at an extremely fast speed.

With a flap of its wings, it flew over the small building in a flash, like a bolt of lightning.

After spending so many days together, the little one has become even more dependent on Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing was quite fond of its adorable appearance and was happy to spend resources to feed the little guy.

Li Yunjing even had some demon beast cultivation techniques, especially the "Moonlight Technique," which he taught all of to the little guy.

As for the little guy not understanding for the time being, Li Yunjing didn't mind. Sooner or later, he would be able to use it.

As for why Li Yunjing didn't place any restrictions on the little guy to control him?

A person like Li Yunjing would never stoop to using such methods to control the spirit beasts he personally raised!
If even with Li Yunjing's meticulous care, he still can't tame it and completely tame it, he'd be willing to let the little guy go wherever he wants!
Li Yunjing still had that much confidence!
Of course, this is because Li Yunjing doesn't care. If this little thing were a Golden-Winged Roc, Phoenix, or Kunpeng, Li Yunjing probably wouldn't dare to have this mindset.

After feeding the little creature, Li Yunjing looked at it standing in his palm and said with a smile, "It's about time, we can go now. I'll take you home."

After three years of cultivation, Li Yunjing stepped out of the small building, his face radiating confidence.

Quietly and undisturbed, three years passed without being wasted. Li Yunjing's strength improved in all aspects, and only now could he be considered a true Foundation Establishment Realm expert.

"Alright! Fellow Daoist Li, your sentence is over. Now I'll take you out."

The same black-armored cultivator who had brought him there that day was waiting at the door.

At this moment, the black-armored cultivator noticed Li Yunjing's unusual nature. After three years of cultivation, Li Yunjing had just emerged, and he hadn't concealed his aura, exuding a sharp and fierce presence.

This fierce aura is almost equivalent to the combat power of a cultivator at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

This greatly shocked the black-armored cultivator, who knew that Li Yunjing's cultivation was only at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

If his aura alone is so powerful, then how powerful must his actual combat strength be?
"Alright! Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"

Li Yunjing nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, which then disappeared in the next moment, making him appear completely ordinary.

When the black-armored cultivator looked at Li Yunjing again, he discovered that Li Yunjing's aura seemed to be only at the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he had not even revealed his own cultivation level.

"Li Yunjing is not a easy person to deal with!"

The black-armored cultivator pondered to himself, "A powerful true disciple who is also good at concealing his cultivation level—such a person is unassuming and inconspicuous, but extremely dangerous."

Feeling the immense power he possessed, something he had never achieved before, Li Yunjing was quite satisfied.

He went with the flow, revealing his true strength as a way of venting his frustration from three years of imprisonment.

The two emerged from the Divine Prison once more. The black-armored cultivator escorted Li Yunjing to the cave entrance before saying, "Li Yunjing, your sentence is over. You can leave this place now."

The azure sky and the sunlight shining on the earth made Li Yunjing feel somewhat uncomfortable, and he squinted slightly.

"Chiji..."

The little creature on Li Yunjing's shoulder suddenly saw the vast sky and earth, cried out excitedly, flapped its wings, and took flight, circling in the sky.

The little guy didn't dare fly far, though he vaguely sensed the boundless terror contained within the mountains below.

Danger seemed to lurk everywhere. The little guy flew around twice before landing again, this time on Li Yunjing's shoulder.

"Alright! Little Huang, I'll tell you about the rules of our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' later!"

The Shenxiao Mountains are not a place to be trifled with; they are fraught with danger. Li Yunjing really gave him a few words of advice. Otherwise, if he were mistaken for a monster or a spy and killed, who would he turn to for justice?

"Fellow Daoist, farewell!"

After bidding farewell to the black-armored cultivator once again, Li Yunjing did not fly, but instead strolled leisurely along the mountain path, enjoying the scenery.

The warm sunshine felt incredibly comfortable on his body, and the gentle light dispelled the musty smell from Li Yunjing. The little creature on his shoulder was equally comfortable, nestled against Li Yunjing's neck, looking almost like it wanted to take a nap.

Just as Li Yunjing descended the mountain, he saw a series of figures standing in front of him.

Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao, Yang Wenzheng, Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Ma Xingyuan... hundreds of familiar faces are waiting for him to be released from prison at the foot of "Shenyu Peak"!

Seeing these people in front of him, Li Yunjing smiled. He stepped forward and sighed, "It's such a small matter, why did you all come?"

"You! Something so serious happened, why didn't you tell us?"

Yu Yunyi came forward, nestled in Li Yunjing's arms, and said coquettishly.

"Yes! After we rested, we sent you a message, but you didn't reply. We only found out about you later through Su Guo and Jin Shouyun!"

Lü Ruoxi also held Li Yunjing's hand, looking concerned.
