Chapter 1804 Event Begins!
Ye Chuyun listened intently and pressed for more information: "Did these Celestial Masters leave behind any amazing feats?"
Feng Qingyu smiled slightly: "Of course, there are quite a few."
"After all, only by smashing out an extraordinary treasure can a master make a name for himself." He reached into his robes and took out a warm, smooth jade slip.
"Coincidentally, I have some old video footage here, all of which are classic scenes that have been widely circulated. You can take a look."
Ye Chuyun's spirits lifted, and he took the jade slip, probing it with his divine sense.
The first video segment unfolds...
In the center of the image is a stone platform, on which sits a sealed egg the size of a human head.
This sealed egg is quite special; its entire body is covered in green flames.
An elderly man with eyes that were both gold and silver stood in front of the stage, his expression solemn, while a crowd of people gathered below to watch the spectacle.
"It's the Heavenly Eye Elder, a renowned master of divination who has been famous for decades," someone whispered.
The old man with the Heavenly Eye formed complex hand seals, his eyes gleaming with golden and silver light as he stared intently at the green flame egg.
After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and shouted loudly, "I want this egg!"
After paying a staggering eight billion, the "Heavenly Eye Elder" took a deep breath and slapped down with his palm.
"boom!"
The moment the eggshell shattered, an incomparably sharp azure aura shot into the sky.
Amidst the swirling energy, a long halberd, its entire body shrouded in a bluish-green hue, slowly emerged.
The moment the halberd appeared, the surrounding space shattered inch by inch.
"It's the [Sky-Splitting Halberd], an ancient weapon, comparable to a celestial treasure!" A thunderous exclamation erupted from below the stage, and countless eyes turned fiery and greedy.
In the video, the old man with the "heavenly eye" looks overjoyed and reaches out to grasp the halberd shaft.
The halberd trembled slightly, emitting a clear and melodious sound. It automatically withdrew all its strange phenomena, becoming simple and unadorned. However, the invisible aura of destruction it exuded made Ye Chuyun, who was watching the video, feel a chill in her heart.
Later, I heard that this Sky-Splitting Halberd was acquired by a powerful realm for an unimaginable price.
The second video.....
This time the scene was even more chaotic.
A giant, dark green egg covered in strange, scaly patterns was smashed open, accompanied by a terrifying hiss, and a black shadow shot out.
It was a strange snake with two wings on its back and a single horn on its head. Although it was only as thick as an arm, it was extremely ferocious. As soon as it appeared, it spewed poisonous flames, injuring several passersby who came near, and the scene was out of control for a while.
In the end, it was only when a peak Spirit-level expert who happened to be passing by that he intervened and temporarily suppressed and took him away.
It is said that this is the offspring of an ancient and extinct species called the "Teng Snake," with boundless potential and immeasurable value.
The one who opened it was a master of divination known for his extraordinary sense of smell, nicknamed "The Venerable of the Six Senses".
The third video, the shortest, was the most shocking to Ye Chuyun.
The footage trembled violently, clearly indicating that the recorder was under immense pressure. After a seemingly unremarkable egg was smashed open, no dazzling light or ferocious beast emerged; only a hazy, chaotic mist dissipated.
Within the chaotic energy, a colossal figure, extremely blurry and seemingly composed of light and shadow, could be vaguely seen.
The figure existed for only a moment, less than a breath, before it was extinguished like a candle in the wind and completely vanished.
But the moment he appeared, the entire recorded image was distorted, all sound disappeared, as if the river of time had reversed a short distance at that moment, glimpsing some indescribable silhouette.
Ye Chuyun was deeply shaken.
"Who is this?"
Feng Qingyu's voice rang out at the right moment: "According to the survivors present, when that phantom appeared, everyone felt their souls freeze and their thoughts stop. Some knowledgeable people later speculated that what was sealed in that egg might not be a physical object, but a trace or echo of Dao left by an ancient being from an untraceable era."
"The master who opened it vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot. It took him ten years to recover, but he also gained some kind of profound insight and his cultivation greatly improved."
"This is an opportunity that touches upon a higher level."
As the video ended, Ye Chuyun withdrew her divine sense, let out a long sigh, and still felt a lingering shock in her eyes.
A seemingly ordinary egg may contain divine weapons, mythical beasts, or even a wisp of ancient Daoist wisdom.
The allure and cruelty of this egg-smashing activity were now vividly displayed before him.
"How is it?" Feng Qingyu asked with a smile.
"Isn't it more exciting than I imagined?"
"This is the meaning of smashing eggs; one thought can lead to heaven, another to hell."
"What the masters of the universe seek is to seize that sliver of opportunity in the chaos, but what you see here are the most outstanding success stories of the past decades or even centuries."
"The losers were never found, and countless others were left penniless."
Ye Chuyun nodded, but her heart was pounding with anticipation.
Besides that, there was a strange feeling in his heart.
When I was watching the video just now, the Treasure Basin seemed to resonate very faintly when those treasures appeared.
This gave him a vague and inexplicable expectation of his luck, or rather, his perception of it.
"Thank you so much for letting me see these things, senior," Ye Chuyun said sincerely.
"Now, I'm even more excited for this egg-smashing event."
Feng Qingyu chuckled, fanning herself: "Just look forward to it. There's still about half an hour before the event starts, so let's keep waiting."
Just as Ye Chuyun and Feng Qingyu were talking, a commotion broke out at the entrance.
Clearly, news of the arrival of a new batch of sealed eggs spread rapidly throughout Tianxu.
More and more figures dressed in black robes arrived at the black market and gathered at the egg-smashing area.
The number of people in the originally somewhat empty circular area increased at a visible rate.
Within fifteen minutes, the area was packed with people, three layers deep, a dense crowd of over ten thousand.
Thanks to their early arrival, Ye Chuyun and Feng Qingyu secured excellent front-row positions near the high platform.
Through the passageway in front, you can clearly see some staff members busy in the area behind the platform.
"It's about to begin." Feng Qingyu pointed ahead with her folding fan.
The staff members, working in groups of two or four, were carefully carrying out sealed eggs of various shapes from the back entrance.
They then placed these sealed eggs one by one on the specially cleared display stand in the center.
Ye Chuyun's eyes widened; it was the first time he had ever seen such a peculiar egg.
The eggs varied wildly in size.
The smallest are only the size of an egg, with a smooth, jade-like shell that gleams faintly in dim light.
The largest ones are almost like small houses, requiring several people to hug them. The eggshells are dark in color and have an uneven surface, clearly showing signs of countless years of wind and sand erosion.
Most fall somewhere in between, ranging in size from a fist to a millstone.
