Fang Yuan manipulated "Black City," step by step, slowly walking into the eagle's nest.
A nine-colored radiance flickered alternately, reflecting on "Black City's" face.
His field of vision was filled with Sky Crystals, creating a magnificent, dazzling, luxurious, and dreamlike scene.
The eagle's nest wasn't large, like a small room.
In the very center of the room sat a large egg. Apart from this, there was nothing else.
"Black City" saw everything at a glance.
His gaze first focused on this large egg.
The egg was about the height of a youth, oval-shaped. Its shell resembled glazed glass, reflecting the nine-colored radiance emitted by the Sky Crystals, giving it an exceptionally fine appearance.
But Fang Yuan keenly sensed that this egg was already lifeless, clearly devoid of any vitality.
Once he realized this, he paid it no further attention, shifting his focus to other aspects.
He searched meticulously, inch by inch. After spending two or three hours, apart from Sky Crystals, he found absolutely nothing.
"How can this be? Hei Fan was a great power of the Time Path. How could the true inheritance he left behind be merely an empty Sky Crystal Eagle Nest? Where are his Time Path Immortal Gu? And his Immortal Killer Moves?"
Fang Yuan pondered. Soon, he refocused his attention back onto the dead egg.
"I'm afraid that to find Hei Fan's true inheritance, this dead egg is still the key!"
Fang Yuan speculated.
At this point, the memories he had scraped from "Black City" were no longer useful. Fang Yuan had already surpassed every previous Black Clan Gu Immortal, reaching a stage they had never achieved.
To obtain Hei Fan's true inheritance, he still had to rely on his own efforts.
"Black City" circled the dead egg, employing Gu worms to observe and conduct in-depth research.
After a while, Fang Yuan confirmed once again that this was indeed a dead egg.
A genuine dead egg.
It wasn't any kind of disguise.
In this case, Fang Yuan's previous private hypothesis that Hei Fan's true inheritance might be hidden within the eggshell was also overturned.
"Could it be that Hei Fan's true inheritance has actually been secretly taken by someone else? That there used to be Immortal Gu stored here, but someone beat me to it? Perhaps I'm not truly the first to enter this place," Fang Yuan couldn't help but think again.
This wasn't impossible.
The waters of this world truly ran deep!
After his secret deal with Mao Liu, Fang Yuan never dared to underestimate anyone again.
Although he was a transmigrator, he was far from the only one in this world. Those who did well had already become Ninth Transformation Venerables.
Righteous Path, Demonic Path, independent cultivators, countless outstanding figures, geniuses, eccentric talents, heroes, hegemons, and tyrants, spanning the past, present, and future, shone like a sea of stars.
And Fang Yuan was, at most, just one of those stars.
Fang Yuan's guess wasn't baseless; he had evidence.
According to the intelligence scraped from "Black City," the Black Clan Gu Immortals had also realized that the Attitude Gu was key. While they focused on searching for the Attitude Gu, they also tried to devise methods to simulate the Attitude Gu's aura to "trick" the Sky Crystal Eagle Nest into opening.
In "Black City's" memories, the Black Clan Gu Immortals had not succeeded.
But that didn't mean no Gu Immortal had ever succeeded!
Perhaps some Gu Immortal had secretly opened the Sky Crystal Eagle Nest and privately took away Hei Fan's true inheritance, unknown to others.
It might not even have been a Black Clan Gu Immortal.
There were many such examples in historical records.
The most famous was the Heavenly Thief Demonic Venerable.
That fellow possessed the ability to steal heaven and earth. Throughout his life, he had stolen numerous Gu Immortal true inheritances, making countless forces gnash their teeth in hatred.
Fang Yuan inspected several more times, truly finding nothing.
With his current means and vision, if he couldn't find anything, then it probably truly didn't exist—any Hei Fan true inheritance.
Fang Yuan naturally felt considerable disappointment.
He had been counting on Hei Fan's true inheritance to delay the time in his Immortal Aperture.
Of course, he currently had Chu Du's support and didn't need it for the time being.
But what about the more distant future?
Those who do not plan ahead will find trouble right under their nose.
Cooperating with Chu Du was dangerous, like negotiating with a tiger for its skin. Heavenly Will would also be instigating from the sidelines.
Even if Fang Yuan didn't need it now, having it as insurance would allow him greater freedom of action in the days to come.
"Even without Hei Fan's true inheritance, this Sky Crystal Eagle Nest itself is an Eighth Transformation immortal material of immense value."
It could be said that, excluding the Immortal Gu within Fang Yuan's Immortal Aperture, the combined value of all his other resources didn't even amount to half of the Sky Crystal Eagle Nest!
Of course, this didn't include Dang Hun Mountain. Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley were both within the Lang Ya Blessed Land. Furthermore, Fang Yuan hadn't intervened in the Courage Gu trade, leaving it for the Lang Ya Sect to sell. He only received his share of the monthly profits.
"However, what exactly is this dead egg? Even with my knowledge, I can't identify it. If Hei Fan's true inheritance is still here, perhaps this dead egg is a clue he deliberately left behind."
