Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 468: Breaking the Shell

Seven days inside the sealed cave dwelling at Gazing Star Cliff passed in what felt like only a few cycles of the Major Heavenly Circulation under Su Ming’s fingertips.

Su Ming sat cross-legged on his meditation cushion, his breath long and steady as if it had merged with the surrounding Greenstone. His Like Water Art was running at an exquisitely calm rhythm, and the dark-blue liquid lake of spiritual energy in his Dantian lay perfectly still without a ripple.

Crack.

An extremely faint, crisp sound exploded in the dead-silent cave with no warning.

Su Ming’s tightly closed eyes flew open. A flash of deep blue light passed through his pupils. His gaze, sharp as a sword, stabbed straight at the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Power Gathering Formation in the center of the hall.

The formation, which had been running smoothly, now emitted a strained buzzing as if it could not bear the load. In the formation’s center, the pitch-black Profound Shadow Egg trembled violently. The dark-golden lines on its shell, which had only slowly flowed when the egg drew star power before, now seemed fully alive, writhing like frenzied golden serpents crawling across the shell.

With that crisp sound, a hairline crack emerged at the top of the shell.

Then that crack, like a hammer blow on ice, rapidly spread outward. Spiderweb-like fissures covered half the shell in an instant, and blinding dark-golden light shot through them, causing the dim cave to flicker between light and shadow as if immersed in an ancient sacrificial rite.

The Void overhead twisted slightly, and Lin Yu’s soul body, solid and white-jade like, drifted out without a sound.

“Stop meditating. That little thing is coming out.” Lin Yu gathered his phantom sleeves and watched the trembling Profound Shadow Egg with a rare seriousness in his voice.Su Ming said nothing unnecessary. He sprang up from the cushion like a coiled spring. He didn’t even pat his storage pouch. With a movement of his divine sense, three items he had prepared long ago floated into view before him.

A jade bottle of verdant green containing Enlightening Pills.
