The past slipping away bit by bit.
The eyes in the sky stared at the old hen incubating the egg with a gaze that was half believing and half doubtful.
Mo Tianji also sat cross-legged next to Jia Jiaqin of the Jia family.
She had no doubts that the chicken hatched by Jia Jiaqin of the Jia family would have the bloodline of the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix.
After all, there were still a bunch being raised within the Heaven and Earth Sect. Her master had let Chi YiBarrel cook them from stir-frying to stewing mushrooms for a whole month without finishing them.
What puzzled her was why Jia Jiaqin could know Yellow Sky's idea of continuing its lineage.
Unable to hold back, she softly asked Jia Jiaqin.
"It's simple. For any species, continuing their offspring is their instinct, a kind of innate behavior."
"Just like when a sow climbs the railing, it must be mating season."
"So I can judge Yellow Sky's thoughts through various details, nothing strange about that."
"Moreover, Yellow Sky is a beast from several eons ago, and its kind have probably all disappeared from the Immortal Jiang continent, so how to continue its lineage must be one of its heart's knots."
Jia Jiaqin patiently explained all this to Mo Tianji.
"Junior brother is taught."
Mo Tianji showed a look of sudden realization, cupping her fist to Jia Jiaqin.
Through Jia Jiaqin's explanation today, she had also broadened her horizons and increased her knowledge.
The old hen clucked and got up.
Jia Jiaqin swiftly took back the old hen, chuckling, "Wait and see."
Yellow Sky's huge pupils fixedly stared at the egg.
A soft cracking sound rang out.
Then they saw a chick with colorful feathers break out of the shell.
And the instant it broke out of the shell, the hidden Yellow Sky suddenly widened its eyes.
Its massive body even shook uncontrollably.
It actually really had the bloodline of the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix.
It was truly unbelievable.
"How, how did you accomplish this?"
Its heart was filled with turmoil as it anxiously asked.
"It doesn't matter how it was bred, the key is I bred a chick with the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix bloodline before your eyes, so you should be able to believe I can easily breed your descendants if I want." Jia Jiaqin leisurely said.
"But, I am the only one left in the world with my race's bloodline, how can I continue it alone?" Yellow Sky urgently asked.
"Simple, I can take your bloodline and put it in a test tube."
"I said you wouldn't understand. You just need to know I can easily help continue your lineage."
Yellow Sky moved its massive throat.
Swallowing down a mouthful of saliva.
Its emotions were excited, and also filled with apprehension and disbelief.
What species didn't want to avoid extinction?
Moreover it was a rare ancient bloodline that had gained sentience after living countless eons. How could it not want descendants to continue its lineage?
It held its breath and solemnly looked at Jia Jiaqin, asking, "Then what do you need me to do?"
"Of course, serve me unconditionally.
Jia Jiaqin slowly and systematically said, "Also, I should tell you my esteemed master likes game meat. If he takes a fancy to your meat, you'll also have to unconditionally offer your body to grace my master's dining table."
"To repay you, I'll help continue your descendants."
Jia Jiaqin confidently raised his head.
Calmly looking into Yellow Sky's eyes, quietly waiting for its answer.
The space fell silent.
Only Yellow Sky's heavy breathing could be heard.
And after a brief silence, finally came Yellow Sky's voice.
"I agree to you, but you must keep your promise to me."
Yellow Sky solemnly said.
Jia Jiaqin smiled with a nod, continuing to say, "Your cultivation is still unstable, first recover for a day. I'll come get you tomorrow!"
Yellow Sky acknowledged.
"Senior sister, let's go!" Jia Jiaqin softly said.
Mo Tianji nodded, looking at her junior brother with a strange brilliance in her eyes.
Jia Jiaqin's performance today had really made her look at him with admiration.
She had thought they would have a great battle, even thrashing about and wrestling before Jia Jiaqin could barely subdue Yellow Sky relying on the Heaven and Earth Sect's hidden trump cards.
She hadn't expected it to be so easy.
He had even unhesitatingly told Yellow Sky that in the future when his master wanted to eat meat, Yellow Sky would be presented on the dining table.
It seemed he wasn't afraid of Yellow Sky getting angry at all, much less afraid Yellow Sky wouldn't agree.
This ability to scheme and plot, keeping Yellow Sky under control, simply amazed her.
There wasn't a single mediocre lamp among the disciples of her master.
They were all truly monstrous prodigies!
And after Jia Jiaqin and the others left, the sealed land cracked open, and then an enormous magma beast walked out from the fissure.
It was Yellow Sky's true body.
Feeling the fresh outside air, it quickly cultivated its inner energy.
Its eyes even faintly showed impatience.
It knew that after being sealed for several eons, even regaining its peak strength, this life was over, it would have no greater achievements.
It truly was a rotten fate.
Being able to use its life to exchange for continuation of its lineage was worth it!
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the imperial city of the Cloud Top Empire was filled with people.
Led by Extinction and the Cloud Top Emperor, anticipation filled each of their faces.
After scheming for so long.
They had finally reached this day.
