385: The eggshell is broken

This desolate tower soared into the clouds, its body imbued with the aura of time, appearing extremely ancient, as if it had stood here since primordial times.

Normally, this Archaic City was already bustling, and the Cultivators who came to the desolate tower to verify their Dao were also numerous.

After all, this was an ancient tower.

In the cultivation world, anything associated with the word 'ancient' held an unparalleled attraction for Cultivators.

Now that news of an Emperor's Divine Soul revival from this desolate tower had spread, it naturally drew even more people here.

"The Great Emperor's Divine Soul has revived—is this true or false? Wasn't it just a phantom? How could it suddenly gain sentience?"

"This must be a contingency left behind by an ancient Great Emperor, possibly to find a Legacy holder. If I could be favored by the Great Emperor and receive the Legacy, wouldn't I be able to soar to great heights?"

"Oh, please. Even if a Great Emperor truly revived, as an Emperor, why would he take a liking to you? Just because you're ugly?"

"Nonsense! The Emperor's Divine Soul revived, and I just happened to come to this desolate tower. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Isn't this Legacy prepared for me?!"

"If that's what you're saying, then there are at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, Cultivators here now, right? Will all of them receive the Great Emperor's Legacy?"

"..."

The Cultivators were all discussing the revival of the Emperor's Divine Soul.

After all, the end of the cultivation path was to become an Emperor!

Any news related to an Emperor naturally excited Cultivators. Not to mention these Cultivators with shallow cultivation, even those Great Power Experts, Saints, and even Supremes! Who wouldn't covet an Emperor's Legacy?

Therefore, roars occasionally echoed from the sky, indicating that Great Power Experts had descended into Archaic City.

At this moment, besides the Cultivators in front of the desolate tower, countless pairs of eyes were watching everything from the shadows.

However, because the desolate tower had an aura of time, if one approached it directly or even entered it, Great Power Experts who had left a mark in the Heavenly Dao might be corroded by this aura.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the Cultivators below's turn to approach this desolate tower.

All the young descendants of the Archaic City Lord's lineage had gathered here, and anger flickered in each of their eyes.

This desolate tower clearly belonged to their Archaic City.

But someone had leaked the news, causing so many factions to gather here.

If the Legacy was taken by someone else, wouldn't they cry themselves to death?!

Tap, tap, tap...

Just as everyone showed anxious expressions, hundreds of people walked out of the desolate tower. Each of their faces carried a thoughtful expression, as if they had experienced something unimaginable inside.

The desolate tower could only admit a hundred people at a time; this was not just a rule. If too many people entered, it might trigger the temporal tribulation light on the tower itself.

At that time, not a single person would escape, and Archaic City would also be affected.

The Cultivators also lined up obediently, but in order to see the legendary Great Emperor as soon as possible, they glared angrily at those beside them and in front of them in the line.

They were afraid that if they entered a step late, they would not obtain the Legacy.

Seeing the hundred people walk out of the desolate tower, the Cultivators at the very front instantly fell into disarray, rushing into the desolate tower in a frenzy.

Boom!!!

Spiritual Qi intertwined, emitting a deafening roar.

In front of the desolate tower, various dazzling lights soared into the sky, forming a magnificent Dao diagram.

To be the first to enter the desolate tower, the Cultivators did not hesitate to fight those in front of them, and the scene was on the verge of chaos.

The guards of Archaic City quickly stepped forward to stop the commotion.

Are you kidding? If they kept fighting like this, what if it affected the desolate tower?

Tens of thousands of Cultivators attacking at the same time was no small matter; it could even lead to the destruction of most of Archaic City.

"Enough! If you want to seek Opportunity, go in one by one! Otherwise, no matter which faction you belong to, our Archaic City has the right to make you leave here!!!"

Seeing that the hosts had spoken.

Those Cultivators naturally dared not act recklessly anymore and could only enter one by one, in an orderly fashion.

As another hundred people poured in, not long after, mysterious halos flickered on the desolate tower.

A moment later, those hundred Cultivators also walked out of the desolate tower. Like the Cultivators who came out before, each of their faces also carried a thoughtful expression.

"Brother!"

Just as one of the Cultivators passed by Lin Ye, someone beside him finally couldn't help but ask, "Your expressions seem off, and your Qi is all extremely weak. Is there really Opportunity inside that desolate tower?"

Hearing this, the Cultivator who had just walked out looked a bit bewildered. He first nodded, then shook his head.

"I have sworn an oath not to reveal what happened inside!"

With that, the Cultivator turned and left.

Hearing his words, the curiosity of those around him grew even stronger.

In their opinion, there must be Opportunity inside the desolate tower; otherwise, why would the Qi of those who came out be so weak? They must have received guidance from the Great Emperor.

Only Lin Ye looked at these people with a hint of deeper meaning.

To avoid any surprises, Lin Ye had already checked their panels when these people went in.

When these people came out, four gray characters appeared on their destinies:

Entangled by Bad Luck.

This term was not a good thing at all. The concept of Luck had been mysterious since ancient times; some believed it, some did not.

But Lin Ye was definitely the former.

Because he was a Son of Destiny; how could he not believe in Luck?

Without exception, every Cultivator who entered the desolate tower was afflicted with this unlucky destiny. It was unknown when this destiny would disappear, but they were definitely going to suffer greatly recently.

This made Lin Ye feel a bit curious about what was inside the desolate tower.

"Roar!!!"

Just as Lin Ye was still pondering, a roar suddenly echoed from his Qi Sea. Hearing this sound, Lin Ye closed his eyes and looked inward.

Sure enough, the egg he had brought out from the Secret Realm earlier seemed to have hatched!

After Lin Ye obtained this egg, he originally intended to keep it in his storage space, but one time, when he held the egg in his hand and observed it carefully.

The egg directly fused into his Qi Sea, allowing the endless spiritual Qi to wash over it.

It even absorbed the True Dragon blood he had obtained!

This discovery made Lin Ye extremely anxious, wishing he could just take the thing out and smash it to make egg fried rice, but his remaining rationality made him dismiss that idea.

As it devoured the True Dragon blood, the life aura on the egg grew increasingly Rich.

Lin Ye had guessed at the time that this egg would hatch one day, but he never expected it to be at this moment.
