Chapter 750: The Sacred Mother Immortal

As soon as the Kunpeng egg was placed into the furnace, Su Che felt a shock in his heart, and the aggressive momentum of the desperate men immediately faded.
“Not good!”
Su Che’s heart skipped a beat. “Could it be a failure?”
He then cursed, “Why did I only get this feeling now? What was I doing earlier?”
The item had already been put into the furnace; could it be retrieved if he regretted it now?
It seemed impossible. He had never heard of any remedy for regret…
Boom!
There was an explosion—not very loud, but it startled the five people on the lotus platform.
It wasn’t the Kunpeng egg that exploded and caused failure; instead, it was the illusionary furnace that shattered like foam and disappeared, leaving only the giant egg intact.
“Could it be that the Kunpeng egg is too large and shattered the furnace?”
Such a ridiculous thought arose in their minds but was quickly dismissed.
That was impossible. The furnace appeared to be only over ten feet tall, but its interior space was quite large—enough to hold several mountains. How could it be shattered by a ten-foot-long bird egg?
What exactly had happened?
At that moment, Feng Lin and Zong Yi glanced at Su Che with meaningful looks: Why do strange things keep happening whenever it comes to you?
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Su Che vanished in a flash, along with the giant Kunpeng egg.
“She was taken away by the Sacred Mother Immortal!”
Feng Lin and Zong Yi exclaimed in shock. “That must be the reason!”
Although the Heavenly Fate Furnace was created by the heavens, its twenty vortex entrances were all designed by the Sacred Mother Immortal to allow the immortals in the celestial realm to safely transform treasures without getting trapped inside and suffering harm.
Thus, only the Sacred Mother Immortal could instantly break through that illusionary furnace and transport both people and objects away.
It could be said that Feng Lin and Zong Yi were right. At that moment, Su Che was inside a hall, with a female statue standing in front of him.
The giant Kunpeng egg was behind Su Che.
“I pay my respects to the Sacred Mother Immortal,” Su Che said respectfully to the statue.
The statue, which seemed to be carved from jade, nodded as if it had come to life, its expression vivid and real.
“Tian Yu, I am currently visiting another immortal’s residence, and my true body is billions of miles away. That’s why I can only communicate with you in this way.”
The Sacred Mother Immortal spoke in a gentle tone, giving off a motherly feeling.

“This is already an honor for me,” Su Che bowed again.
“No need to be so polite.”
The Holy Mother smiled kindly and got straight to the point: “If the Kunpeng egg is transformed according to the will of heaven, there’s a 90% chance of failure. Although the Kunpeng is an ancient demon god, the fact that another one was born in this world must have its reasons. I can assure you that the Divine Furnace of Heaven’s Will will transport this Kunpeng egg to another realm for protection. But for you, it means the transformation will fail, and you’ll lose it forever… Do you believe that?”
“I believe it.”
Su Che nodded. “The moment it was placed in the furnace, I had a vague feeling… a not-so-good feeling.”
“In that case, let’s make a deal.”
The Holy Mother said with a smile, “I’m quite interested in this Kunpeng egg. I want to hatch it and raise it to the level of a Ninth Heaven Immortal Emperor as my spiritual pet. Don’t worry—my method won’t involve harming living beings or using countless life forces to revive it. I have a more suitable way.”
Su Che nodded silently, having no doubts at all. The Heavenly Net Holy Mother was among the top three most senior immortals, so this task would surely be easy for her.
The methods of the immortals were beyond imagination.
The Holy Mother continued, “Tell me what you want. Even if I don’t have it, as long as other immortals do, I can get it for you in exchange. Consider it as if your attempt to transform this treasure has already succeeded.”
In other words: Whatever you want, I can definitely obtain it.
The immortals could speak so boldly and arrogantly because, of the best things in the world, at least 80%, if not 90%, were under their control.
“I want a natural divine artifact that can merge all forces in the world without causing rejection or conflict…”
As soon as Su Che said this, the Holy Mother laughed.
She said, “So, you want to transform the Kunpeng egg into such an artifact… You’re quite naive, aren’t you?”
“Huh?”
Su Che was stunned. “Is it not possible?”
“Of course not!”

The Holy Mother Immortal replied, “Even if this Kunpeng egg can withstand the grace of heaven and successfully absorb a trace of innate attributes, it may not necessarily transform into what you envision. You must understand that the Kunpeng egg is a living being, completely different from artificially crafted magical artifacts… Ah, these explanations are too lengthy—it might take days and nights just to clarify them. In short, the chance of fulfilling your wish is less than one in ten thousand.”

“I see…”

Su Che nodded slowly, though she wasn’t entirely convinced in her heart.

But it no longer mattered. As long as she could provide the natural divine artifact she wanted and exchange it for the Kunpeng egg, it would still be a very good deal.

After all, putting the Kunpeng egg into the Heavenly Will Furnace carried a certain risk of failure, but by trading it with her, she could get the natural divine artifact she desired 100% of the time. Su Che believed that such a trivial natural divine artifact surely wouldn’t pose a challenge to a great Immortal like her.

“Tian Yu, do you really think I’m doing this just because I’m interested in this Kunpeng egg?” The Holy Mother Immortal seemed slightly displeased, feeling that Su Che was doubting her motives.

“Of course not,” Su Che hurriedly replied. “The situation came suddenly, and I was just a bit confused. But I know that the Holy Mother Immortal doesn’t care about this stone egg at all. How many Immortal Emperors from the Ninth Heaven are not willing to sacrifice everything for you?”

The Holy Mother Immortal nodded slowly, her expression returning to its usual kindness.

Su Che was telling the truth. Though the Kunpeng egg was considered a treasure by most people, it might not even catch the Holy Mother Immortal’s attention.

The Heavenly Net Holy Mother Sect was formed spontaneously by more than a dozen Immortal Emperors like Guangyi, and there were even more Immortal Emperors from the Eighth and Seventh Heavens. How could they care about a Kunpeng that might take hundreds of millions of years to grow?

After all, the Heavenly Dao would never allow a Kunpeng to reach the level of an ancient demon god. Its ultimate limit was being an Immortal Emperor of the Ninth Heaven—there was no need for just one more.

So, the possibility of the Heavenly Net Holy Mother coveting this egg was non-existent. Yet her motives were definitely not as simple as just helping her out.

What her true motives were, Su Che still couldn’t figure out, nor did she want to waste her mind on it. The thoughts of an Immortal were beyond comprehension, even at the cost of one’s life.

“Wait here for a moment. I know who has the item you want…”

After saying these words, the statue representing the Sacred Mother Immortal ceased to move. Clearly, she must have gone to another immortal to seek treasures. Su Che stood still, turning back to look at the Kunpeng Giant Egg, still feeling that there was something suspicious about this matter. However, it didn’t matter as long as he could get what he wanted and successfully open the seventh layer of the Immortal Prison. If an immortal really wanted to scheme against him, there was no way to stop them or escape—worrying too much was pointless… Stop thinking about it! In less than fifteen minutes, the statue in front of Su Che came back to life. With a sigh, she slowly raised her right hand, and a miniature teleportation array appeared in her palm. Soon after, an object was teleported from an unknown distance of billions of miles away—a pure black jade ring, resembling a black gem bracelet worn by a girl. Then, the Sacred Mother Immortal raised her left hand, holding a small pill in her palm—the same pill she had taken from Su Che, the last treasure displayed on the lotus platform. The Sacred Mother Immortal asked slowly, “How long would it take to refine ten thousand of these pills?” “About a thousand years; at the fastest, seven or eight hundred years,” Su Che replied very conservatively. This answer was indeed extremely conservative; if production were accelerated, it wouldn’t even take seven or eight days… “Very well. In a thousand years, bring me ten thousand of these pills, and we can make another deal, how about that?” the Sacred Mother Immortal said with a smile. “The price is up to you.” “The cost of refining them isn’t high—just a thousand Immortal Crystals per pill,” Su Che replied calmly, though inwardly worried whether his price was too high. “Very good.” The Sacred Mother Immortal was extremely wealthy and didn’t care about a few Immortal Crystals. She nodded and said, “Let’s go with that price. But you must supply them to me first.” “No problem. I can guarantee that,” Su Che promised seriously. “I will never sell these pills to anyone else within a thousand years.” The Sacred Mother Immortal nodded again, and the jade ring in her right hand floated slowly toward Su Che. She said, “This jade ring was born in the Chaos Realm and will surely meet your needs.” “A natural divine artifact born from chaos?” Su Che was delighted. All energy in the world originated from Chaos energy, so it was only natural for such a treasure to possess the ability to combine all forces in the world. “May I ask, Sacred Mother Immortal, does this treasure have a name?” Su Che asked further.

The Sacred Mother Immortal slowly shook her head. “We have obtained many similar treasures during our exploration of the Chaos Realm. All of them were formed after the creation of the world, with limited functions and attributes, and are by no means considered ultimate treasures of chaos. That’s why we even bothered to give them names.”
“I see…”
Su Che was impressed in silence: Such a rare treasure, and they didn’t even bother to name it—this is truly the magnanimity of an Immortal Lord.
