The platform only bears some claw marks of the three-legged golden crow and some burn marks from flames. This was a modification made by the chieftain of the three-legged golden crows to make his living environment more comfortable.

However, it still looks quite simple overall, after all, the aesthetics of thousands of years ago were still very primitive.

An egg, about the size of a dragon egg, is placed in the very center of this platform.

As Zikomo examined the crimson-gold egg, he asked Huang Xi, "Is this the child who died young, left behind by the Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan Chief?"

"Yes, it encountered an accident after its birth, and its vitality was severely depleted, making it unable to hatch normally," Huang Xi replied.

"Didn't that clan chief set up any restrictions here? Aren't they afraid something might happen if they just leave the eggs here like this?"

Zicomo was somewhat curious; there were no restrictions around the egg, it was just placed there openly. If this were outside, it would probably have been taken long ago.

"No. The patriarch of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan set up a special formation to replenish the life force of this egg, drawing the life force from the Undying Tree below to gather here."

Setting up any other restrictions would disrupt the gathering of life force. Therefore, he didn't set up any restrictions, but simply asked our Phoenix Clan to look after his child.

However, for some reason, even though thousands of years have passed and the hibiscus tree has grown considerably taller, its vitality has still not been fully replenished.

At this point, Huang Xi was also very puzzled.

The immortal tree contains immense vitality; otherwise, there wouldn't be the legend that eating it would grant immortality.

With such immense life force nurturing it, this egg should have hatched long ago. Yet, it hasn't shown any signs of life for thousands of years.

Upon hearing this, Zicomo curiously released his mental energy to investigate the egg.

He scanned the egg with his mental energy and found that it was still in a state of lack of vitality. Moreover, he couldn't sense any vitality gathering nearby, which was very strange.

Huang Xi clearly stated that the patriarch of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan had set up an array to condense life force.

Could it be that there's something wrong with the formation?

With this in mind, Zicomo expanded the range of his mental energy to search for the location of the formation.

Then he saw the array in operation several hundred meters below.

There was nothing wrong with the formation; after all, it was created by the patriarch of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan and had been running for over a thousand years.

However, there was a slight deviation in the target of this supply.

As we all know, trees can grow taller, but the location of an array is fixed.

In other words, the original position where the formation concentrated life force was where the three-legged golden crow's egg was placed, but as the Fusang tree grew taller, it took the place of the egg.

Thus, all the life force gathered by the formation was absorbed by the hibiscus tree beneath their feet.

"Huang Xi, you just said how much this Fusang tree has grown taller over the past few thousand years?" Zicomo asked.

"It's at least several hundred meters, what's wrong?"

Huang Xi's answer was exactly what Qi Kemo expected.

Ordinary trees can only grow a few hundred meters in a thousand years, let alone the legendary Fusang tree.

Only by accumulating immense vitality can the hibiscus tree grow so quickly.

"It's nothing, I just roughly know why this golden crow egg in front of me hasn't hatched."

Zicomo's words drew curious glances from the other women.

Huang Xi asked, "What's the reason?"

Zicomo shared his findings.

Chapter 192 The Method of Acquiring Blessed Lands and Grotto-Heavens, Lani's Spatial Abilities

The women looked strange after hearing this, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Unexpectedly, the reason why this golden crow egg has not hatched for so long is due to such a dramatic reason.

Perhaps the three-legged golden crow clan chief was in such a hurry that he forgot to consider that the Fusang tree would grow taller.

"What should we do now? Can you help it change the formation?" Huang Xi asked Qi Kemo.

Huang Xi wasn't very good at formations, so she had to ask Qi Kemo for help.

After all, the patriarch of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan had entrusted their Phoenix clan to take care of his child, and now that such a big mistake had occurred, she couldn't just ignore it.

“Hmm, not for now. I’ll try again in a few days,” Zicomo replied.

He didn't know much about formations either.

Although his 'magic book' contains a wealth of knowledge about formations from Mount Shu, he hasn't had time to learn it yet.

Therefore, Zicomo plans to use the time difference in the "Zen Garden" over the next few days to brush up on his knowledge of formations and see if he can modify the formation left behind by the three-legged golden crow patriarch.

Speaking of the "Zen Garden," Zicomo actually had an idea after seeing this blessed land.

He wanted to move the entire grotto-heaven to his "Zen Garden".

The blessed land before him was several times larger than his "Zen Garden," and it contained so many rare treasures. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

In some ways, Zicomo is also a very greedy person. Given the opportunity, Zicomo follows the same path as Aobai.

In other words: "I want them all!"

But this blessed land is the home of the Phoenix Clan, he can't just empty someone else's house, can he?

So Zicomo was conflicted and didn't know what to do.

After seeing the 683 Golden Crow Eggs, everyone came down from the Fusang Tree.

There's nothing particularly special about it except for the wide view.

After they came down, Huo Xuan asked Huang Xi to take her to the treasure forest to pick various gems, jade, and pearls.

After playing mahjong all night, the two girls, who were both a bit outgoing, had become very close.

Hermione, out of curiosity about these rare and precious materials, followed them.

Zicomo, on the other hand, set up a fishing rod holder by the lake and put his fishing rod on it.

Zicomo sat by the lake, fishing while contemplating how to move the entire paradise away. He still hadn't given up on the idea.

Lani sat quietly beside him, keeping him company.

Zikomo pondered for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a good solution.

Suddenly, Zicomo thought of someone who could help him solve the problem.

Well, to be precise, he couldn't really be considered a person, because he was thinking of his system that hadn't been active for a long time.

Zicomo silently prayed, "System, is it dead? If not, let me know."

Thank you for your concern, host. The system is in good condition.

"Since you're doing well, why haven't you said anything for so long?"

The system is normally in standby mode and will not respond to calls from non-hosts, which helps the system accumulate energy.

"Oh? You need to conserve your energy?"

【Yes】

"So where does your energy come from?"

From the cracks of the world

"What kind of place is that? Can I go there?"

The "world's crevice" is a gap between different worlds. Though called a crevice, it is actually a place more vast and desolate than the universe itself.

With the host's current strength, the chance of surviving in the cracks of this world is zero.

Judging from the system's description, it seemed to be some extraordinary place. However, it was not a place Zikomo could access for the time being. He hadn't summoned the system to ask about this.

Zicomo temporarily noted down the World Rift, then turned to the system and asked, "By the way, system, I want to take this blessed land for myself. Do you have any good ideas?"

[Returning to the host is actually a very simple matter for the host.]

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Whether a secret realm is naturally formed or man-made, it will always have a core. Whoever controls this core controls the entire secret realm.

[What might be a difficult task for others to acquire this core is very simple for the host.]

[Does the host still remember the key that symbolized the "Zen Garden"?]

“Of course,” Zicomo replied.

When he first received the "Zen Garden" from the system, all the system gave him was a key. That key was the medium to open the "Zen Garden".

Those marked with this key can freely enter and exit the "Zen Garden," and currently only Hermione and Lani have this mark.

Zicomo didn’t find any other use for it, so he kept the key in the system space.

"Could that key be the core of the 'Zen Garden'?"

Zicomo suddenly thought of this possibility.

Yes, just as the host suspected. That key is the core of the "Zen Garden."

The host only needs to insert the key into the core of this blessed land, and the "Zen Garden" will devour and merge with it.

Upon hearing this, Zicomo thought to himself, "Wow!"
