"Not trying to tease you, just not too sure. After all, I haven’t seen it for many years and now I can’t feel its presence anymore. I was afraid of misleading you into false joy, so it’s better to wait until you hatch it yourself," Star Illusion Thousand Machine said seriously.
"Alright, I’ll just hatch it and see," Mu Hanyan didn’t want to experience false joy. Greater hopes could lead to greater disappointnts, so she decided to maintain a normal expectation and see what surprises hatching might bring.
"Looks like there’s nothing else happening tonight. You two keep watch for now; I’m going to see what this Exotic Beast Egg really is." As soon as the two had set up the tent, Mu Hanyan left them with these words and entered.
Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun were also filled with curiosity. They nodded and stayed outside the tent.
Activating the Cultivation Technique, Mu Hanyan slowly injected pure Heavenly Heart Energy into the Exotic Beast Egg.
Eh, that’s odd, why is there no reaction at all? Mu Hanyan wondered as she looked at the Exotic Beast Egg, which showed no sign of change. She had hatched a Griffin Egg before and was fairly experienced, but this situation was completely different.
Could it be that this Exotic Beast Egg is too powerful and needs more Qi to hatch? This speculation excited Mu Hanyan even more.
Mu Hanyan again put all her effort into pushing Qi into the Exotic Beast Egg, but still, there was no response.
Impossible, after injecting so much Heavenly Heart Energy, even if it were sinking deep into the ocean, it should at least bubble, right? How could there be no reaction at all?
Mu Hanyan beca determined, continuously activating her Cultivation Technique, endlessly injecting Heavenly Heart Energy into the Exotic Beast Egg. Yet, the egg remained unchanged.
How could this be? Shocked, Mu Hanyan stopped and deployed the Inner Vision Technique, guiding her ntal state along with the Qi toward the interior of the Exotic Beast Egg.
Inside the egg was complete chaos, without the slightest sign of life.
"A dead embryo, it’s actually a dead embryo!" Mu Hanyan felt like crying without tears, as tens of thousands of taphorical horses trampled back and forth in her heart, breaking Lady Mu’s delicate heart into pieces.
Exotic Beasts usually have incredibly robust vitality, far surpassing humans, but their ability to reproduce is very weak. This is seen as a balance in the Heaven and Earth Rules, so dead embryos in Exotic Beast Eggs are quite common.
But, just a dead embryo, protected by barriers and sparkles of strange light? Isn’t this a mockery?
Star Illusion Thousand Machine was right not to hastily conclude. The feeling of being let down is indeed very distressing, and Mu Hanyan felt utterly dejected as she disheartenedly withdrew her Qi.
Just then, her Qi suddenly uncontrollably surged towards the interior of the Exotic Beast Egg.
And Mu Hanyan sensed a sudden ergence of a life force.
Inside the Exotic Beast Egg, a thumping frequency erged, like a tiny heart, gradually reviving.
"Thank goodness, it’s not a dead embryo!" Mu Hanyan was overjoyed in her heart.
However, she soon realized sothing was wrong.
Her Qi had completely spiraled out of control, flooding into the egg like a relentless rush of water, increasing in speed. Eventually, her Qi burst into the egg like an exploding volcano, and she could even hear thuds emanating from inside the egg.
Mu Hanyan compared it to her previous experiences, even fully engaging in combat with soone wouldn’t trigger such an explosive release of Qi.
Keep in mind, she was a Tenth Rank Great Swordsman. A full-force burst could split mountains and shatter stones, yet the thin shell of the egg remained perfectly intact, without even the smallest crack.
