Chapter 746: The Kunpeng Egg

It was Su Che’s turn again. Though no one believed in him anymore, not even Emperor Feng Lin Xian thought there was any chance of him winning.
“What innate treasure could surpass the Jadeglorious Wish Fruit?”
At this moment, Feng Lin wasn’t only depressed but also worried about the future: “No wonder Yuan Yi is so confident and offered to engage in this treasure gamble. If she succeeds in transforming it, her strength will surely soar…”
However, Feng Lin wasn’t worried that Yuan Yi would use this Wish Fruit against her. First, there wasn’t that much hatred between them. Second, using it just against her would be a waste of such a powerful treasure—Yuan Yi wasn’t that foolish.
But undoubtedly, no matter how much stronger Yuan Yi became, as her neighbor, life wouldn’t be easy for her in the days to come…
Feng Lin slowly turned her head and gazed at Su Che’s profile. At this moment, she could only hope that this young man would create a miracle, win this gamble, and also claim that Wish Fruit!
But could he do it?
The giant Kunpeng egg, ten zhang tall and standing atop the lotus platform, was the most eye-catching of the five treasures and also the fourth one Su Che planned to introduce.
Su Che’s introduction was extremely brief—just one sentence: “This is the Kunpeng Egg. I ask the elders to assess it.”
“The Kunpeng Egg?”
The immortals were deeply moved and clearly understood the weight of those four words.
Huh!
The collective consciousness of the myriad immortals converged, immediately sensing its strange ability to devour vitality.
This was the Void of Heavenly Will, and the devouring power of the Kunpeng Egg was suppressed by some force, preventing it from spreading outward. Su Che had long noticed this but hadn’t said anything.
“Is it really the Kunpeng Egg?”
Feng Lin and Zong Yi, unaware of this, simultaneously sent messages to Su Che to ask.
“I think it is,” Su Che replied via message.
Feng Lin felt slightly relieved but still skeptical. With her status as an Emperor Xian, her divine consciousness couldn’t penetrate that thick eggshell, so she couldn’t determine its authenticity.
If she couldn’t see through it, others probably couldn’t either. So how could they prove it was indeed the Kunpeng Egg?
If it was indeed the Kunpeng Egg, it meant that once the giant Kunpeng hatched and underwent hundreds of millions of years of careful cultivation and training, even under the suppression of Heavenly Will, it would have a great chance of becoming a true ancient demon god and reaching the level of an Emperor Xian at the ninth heaven realm.

The name Kunpeng indeed carries such weight—there’s no doubt about it. What kind of concept would it be to possess a spiritual beast with the strength of a Ninth Heaven Immortal Emperor? At this moment, Yuan Yi, the Immortal Emperor on the other side, spoke up. She raised her voice and asked, “Fellow cultivators, is there anyone whose divine sense can penetrate this object and confirm that it is indeed a Kunpeng egg?” She asked this because this treasure placed considerable pressure on her—Kunpeng eggs were no trivial thing; their value might even surpass that of her Wish Fruit. After all, the true value of the Wish Fruit could only be determined after it was successfully transformed in the Divine Furnace; if that attempt failed, it would all be like an illusion, with all wishes turning to nothing. But this Kunpeng egg didn’t need to be put into the Divine Furnace—its value already existed independently; all that was needed was to hatch it. Thus, Yuan Yi was the one least willing to admit it was a Kunpeng egg. All the immortals shook their heads, but none explicitly denied it. After all, the shell of this giant egg was able to block the divine senses of many Immortal Emperors, which already proved its extraordinariness. Even if it couldn’t be confirmed as a Kunpeng egg yet, there was no sufficient reason to deny it. Guang Yi, the Immortal Emperor, seemed unable to see through this giant egg either, so she said to Su Che, “Su Che, you claim it’s a Kunpeng egg—what evidence do you have?” Whoosh! Su Che erected a transparent water mirror right in front of the Kunpeng egg. This mirror seemed to have powerful viewing capabilities, allowing everyone to gradually see the strange creature inside the egg, which resembled both a fish and a bird. This mirror was a small trick Su Che used by borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Prison. Strictly speaking, it was merely a display method and couldn’t be considered conclusive evidence. It was like a three-dimensional painting—one could only show what they drew in the mirror, and that’s what others would see. “It really does seem like a Kunpeng.” “Yes, it indeed does.” A few Immortal Emperors whispered among themselves. However, after discussing it briefly with Chi Lin and Ming Gu, Yuan Yi spoke up loudly, “What does this prove? There was only one Kunpeng in ancient times, and it has long since perished. Who in the world truly knows what the Kunpeng beast looks like during its gestation phase? Who has ever seen it with their own eyes?” At this question, all the immortals were speechless. What a joke—such an ancient demon god like Kunpeng had already been gestating within chaos even before the creation of the world. The dozen or so immortal lords in the celestial realm were all but children compared to him—how could anyone know what his infant form might have looked like?

It’s estimated that even the Heavenly Will of today doesn’t know about it…
“Whether it resembles it or not is just a guess!”
Yuan Yi snorted again, “Besides, the image inside the Water Mirror was drawn by that young one himself—he can draw it however he wants. One side of the story isn’t enough to rely on!”
The immortals nodded in agreement, all believing that Emperor Yuan Yi’s doubts were quite reasonable.
Emperor Guang Yi didn’t express an opinion but instead asked further, “Su Che, assuming it truly is a Kunpeng egg, do you really intend to send it into the Heavenly Will Furnace? How can you bear to do such a thing?”
Guang Yi’s question represented the doubts of many immortals at that moment: If it were indeed a Kunpeng egg, sending it into the furnace for transformation would be a great loss if it failed; even if successful, it would turn into a natural divine artifact. Once turned into a lifeless object, the Kunpeng would no longer exist.
Who would be that foolish?
Facing this question, Su Che replied truthfully, “I have already determined that to hatch this giant egg, countless amounts of life energy must be consumed. If it truly is a Kunpeng egg, hundreds of millions of ordinary beings might die—still not enough…”
“I can’t do that!”
Su Che said solemnly, “I also don’t want others to do it. I even don’t want such a domineering creature to be born into the world. So, I plan to transform it into a lifeless object, completely eliminating the chance of its birth. Coincidentally, its own abilities to devour and merge can be put to use—this is also the main reason I came to the Heavenly Will Void.”
Finally, he added, “I don’t know if my idea is right. If I lose this gamble, it means Heaven doesn’t allow me to arbitrarily eliminate the chance of the Kunpeng being born. That’s why such a gamble was arranged—to take it from me and give it to someone else. If that’s the case, I’ll accept it and obey Heavenly Will.”
After saying this, many emperors nodded silently. They were all compassionate people who also disagreed with hatching the Kunpeng at the cost of countless lives.
Emperor Guang Yi nodded with a smile, “Personally, I agree with your view. But, as you said, everything still has to obey Heavenly Will…”
After a brief pause, she added, “You still haven’t introduced another treasure to everyone.”
Following her hint, the immortals’ attention turned once again to the last treasure yet to be introduced on the lotus platform.
The most valuable treasures were always saved for last. So, what exactly was this object that looked like a small pill?

Can its weight still surpass that of the Kunpeng egg and the Wish Fruit?
