Fang Yuan returned to the Langya Blessed Land with complete ease.
At this moment, his divine sense hovered within the Supreme Immortal aperture.
"I've checked eighteen times front to back; there shouldn't be any issues. Even if a problem arose, the newly hatched Supreme Heavenly Eagle would only be at the Desolate Beast level. Even if it rebelled, it wouldn't matter."
Fang Yuan pondered this.
This was the Little Purple Heaven within the Supreme Immortal aperture.
A plain eagle's nest floated in the air.
Inside the nest, apart from one Supreme Heavenly Eagle egg, there was nothing else.
Within a radius of a hundred li, Fang Yuan had deployed many Strength Immortal Zombies, along with Desolate Beasts. Even the Flesh-Walking Tree had been temporarily transplanted here to ensure everything was foolproof.
Hatching the Supreme Heavenly Eagle once more!
Fang Yuan began his work.
A large amount of fresh blood was extracted by the Strength Immortal Zombies. Then, one by one, the Gu insects were activated, causing the blood to fuse perfectly into the Supreme Heavenly Eagle's egg.
This was something Fang Yuan had done once before.
However, that time, he had used Black City's blood. This time, after thorough preparation, he had not only altered the Supreme Heavenly Eagle's memories but also changed certain manipulations Black Fan had placed upon it.
This way, Fang Yuan could directly use his own blood to hatch the Supreme Heavenly Eagle. He wouldn't need to rely on the "Meet Familiarity" Gu to transform and disguise himself, as he had before, just to get close to the eagle and gain this Primordial Desolate Beast's approval.
Everything proceeded smoothly and according to plan, without any accidents.
After eight days and eight nights in the Immortal aperture's time, the Supreme Heavenly Eagle's egg cracked open again, and a juvenile Supreme Heavenly Eagle hatched.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!"
Upon seeing "Fang Yuan," the Supreme Heavenly Eagle immediately rushed over affectionately.
This "Fang Yuan," of course, was not Fang Yuan's true body, but a Strength Immortal Zombie that had used the "Meet Familiarity" Gu to assume his appearance.
Though just born, the eagle was already quite sizable, standing proud. It had reached the height of a normal human youth.
The little eagle regarded Fang Yuan as its parent, circling him and flapping its fleshy wings continuously, chirping away. It was extremely happy.
"All right, all right," Fang Yuan said with a gentle smile, reaching out to stroke the Supreme Heavenly Eagle's head.
The eagle immediately became docile, staying perfectly still. Even its sharp chirping softened into a much more gentle and melodious sound.
"Here. Eat." Fang Yuan then produced a thick and long Heavenly Crystal.
The Heavenly Crystal had a translucent appearance, white shot through with gold. Placed before the little eagle, it immediately captured all of the creature's attention.
A pair of ink-black eagle eyes suddenly blazed with sharp light. The eagle beak pecked down; the hard Heavenly Crystal was as fragile as tofu dregs under its beak. With a light peck, the eagle tore off a piece, swallowed it whole, and ingested it.
The little eagle trusted Fang Yuan absolutely. It did not hesitate at all to eat the Heavenly Crystal in his hand.
Only after consuming six Heavenly Crystals in a row did it finally stop, satisfied.
Its little belly had swelled up, turning the little eagle into a chubby little ball. It sat right down on the ground, grunting softly, its pair of small fleshy wings gently patting its own stomach. The scene was quite endearing.
"Stuffed?" Fang Yuan smiled softly, sitting down beside the little eagle.
The eagle felt an intense sense of security and let down all its guard. Its eyes gradually closed, its head tilted, and it leaned against Fang Yuan's thigh, falling fast asleep with a soft snore.
Fang Yuan reached out and stroked the eagle's feathers.
The feathers it had just grown were still a tender yellow, very soft and fluffy. Coupled with the warmth of its body, they felt exceptionally pleasant to the touch.
In the days that followed, Fang Yuan operated this Strength Immortal Zombie, staying by the Supreme Heavenly Eagle's side at all times.
Beyond nurturing and deepening their bond, this was also a measure for constant surveillance, preventing any unexpected incidents.
"The Heavenly Crystals are still plentiful enough," Fang Yuan's divine sense withdrew from the nest.
Looking outward, hundreds of li away, there were many more eagle nests.
These nests numbered nearly a hundred, all looted by Fang Yuan from the Iron Eagle Blessed Land.
Fang Yuan had chosen the largest nest to temporarily serve as the Supreme Heavenly Eagle's aerie.
The original Heavenly Crystal Eagle Nest had long been eaten clean by the previous life's Supreme Heavenly Eagle, without leaving even a single scrap behind.
