Boom~~~

A terrifying hurricane spread out from the giant stone at the mountain peak, blowing away the cold clouds in the sky, clearing this snowy mountain area.

"Master! Senior Brother!"

Chen Ku had originally planned to meet up with the two elders after Four Unlikes and Little Bee went to find them, but unexpectedly, the two elders had already reached the mountain peak.

"Could there be more than one path up the mountain?"

He speculated in his heart, but seeing a few figures on the mountaintop retreating under the golden light emitted by the giant stone, he quickly flipped off the roof and hurried along the mountain path to catch up.

Perhaps because the movement from the giant stone at the peak was too much, Chen Ku encountered an avalanche-like phenomenon on his way up the mountain, with snow constantly falling down.

Luckily, he possessed many transformations, maintaining a nimble form, and in less than half a cup of tea's time, he had arrived at a position less than a hundred zhang from the peak.

However, upon reaching here, he saw a golden circle on the ground ahead, confining the giant stone at the peak like a prison.

"This? Another formation?"

Just as Chen Ku was about to step in to get closer to the two elders,

suddenly,

two urgent and panicked voices came from the direction of the giant stone at the peak:

"Don't come near!"

The voices were from Master Shan Lingguan and Senior Brother Qin Yuxian.

"What's going on?"

Chen Ku was greatly shocked and dared not come closer. Instead, a cloud rose under his feet as he attempted to fly higher to get a clearer view a hundred zhang away.

Flying up, he saw a towering three zhang six chi high giant stone on the mountaintop with many human-head-sized holes, exactly nine in number.

The most terrifying part was that at those nine openings, four people were sitting cross-legged, seemingly shrunk to half their size, like small statues inside a stone cave, sitting cross-legged within.

The four people sitting in the four holes of the giant stone were precisely his Master Shan Lingguan, Senior Brother Qin Yuxian, Yuan Country's Qi Cultivator Yelev Xuandu, and... Shangguan Yun.

At this moment, the four cross-legged individuals noticed Chen Ku flying on clouds above, looking towards them.

"Flying on clouds!"

Most shocked was Yelev Xuandu, a great Qi Cultivator from Yuan Country, who, upon seeing Chen Ku supported by a cloud beneath his feet, stared wide-eyed:

"Isn't this 'flying on clouds' technique something only achievable at the 'Earth Immortal Level'? How is this young fellow from Ji Country able to glide through the mist?"

Even Shan Lingguan and Qin Yuxian were briefly dazed.

In martial arts cultivation, reaching the Seventh Realm Gang Level allows one to fly short distances, but without relying on Gang Qi, being able to float freely in the air was something even Shan Lingguan, who had lived over two hundred years, had never heard of.

Shangguan Yun's gaze narrowed briefly, but sitting cross-legged in the stone's cavity, he coldly laughed at Qin Yuxian and Shan Lingguan:

"What, Grandmaster Qin, can't you sense the divine creation within this stone egg? Meditating here feels like becoming part of this stone egg, gaining the 'Sacred Body's' transformation. With every breath, endless natural essence, sun and moon brilliance, heaven and earth energies pour into oneself... Such great fortune, is it too selfish not to let Brother Chen join us?"

Chen Ku heard these words, but he seriously observed those holes, clearly akin to a prison, trapping the four of them within.

"Master, what exactly is going on?" He directly asked his master: "Is this stone egg trapping you all?"

Shan Lingguan sighed and said, "Indeed, it started when we entered here together. Qin and I appeared on the western mountain path but didn't see you, so we went up first. Unexpectedly, we encountered these two fellows at the peak, leading to a fight. During the process, we dismantled Shangguan Yun's bronze puppet, but we didn't expect Shangguan Yun to use some unknown technique, causing the entire 'stone egg' to emit a golden light, sucking us into these four holes."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku looked at Shangguan Yun.

Was it this scoundrel who activated the stone egg?

However, seeing the two trapped masters now, Chen Ku couldn't think of anything else, only repeatedly asking: "Is there any way to save you all?"

Shangguan Yun laughed heartily, saying: "Chen Ku, what are you thinking? This is a grand fortune. They're more than satisfied staying here, no need for you to rescue us. Let me truthfully tell you, this stone egg is not just a Heavenly Immortal Embryo spat out from the Void Sky Treasure Box, it also carries the entire dedication of Hero King Pei Dongliu from the Fifteen Realm era. Originally, he intended to use this stone egg as a backup to live a 'second life', but before he could nurture a second self, he died in the chaos, leaving only this stone egg filled with countless efforts. Although it is the most perfect 'Root', it lacks the 'Spiritual Wisdom' to emerge from it.

You see the nine holes on this stone, when all nine holes open, the stone egg will be able to give birth to consciousness. We sitting in the stone egg are equivalent to replacing the four holes of the stone egg. In other words, any of the four of us might replace the Hero King of old and become the new consciousness of the stone egg!"
