137: Chapter 137 The Green Snake's Heavenly Gourd Undergoes Super Evolution, Yama?

The constant rumbling of thunder in the sky gradually weakened until it completely dissipated.

A gourd wrapped in lightning fell from above.

It was none other than the heaven-accepting gourd.

Seeing that his precious darling was unharmed, Xu Qing quickly gestured and summoned the gourd into his arms.

The pale green heaven-accepting gourd was now covered in golden cracks, and it seemed as if golden liquid was flowing within them.

However, the core of the gourd was already protected by a surge of golden Qi, which was slowly repairing it.

The golden Qi was precisely what had been extracted from Profound Heart—the golden energy transformed from nearly three thousand years of Dao Cultivation.

Even after assisting in weathering the Lightning Tribulation, those three thousand years of Dao Cultivation were still more than enough.

“What is this?”

Xu Qing discovered some silver cracks on the body of the gourd.

Lightning flickered within the cracks, and his fingers felt a slight numbing sensation upon touching them.

The silver cracks faintly outlined the character for 'Hell'.

Furthermore, the attached skills had also undergone changes.

Storage lv8 → Storage lv9

Nurture lv9 → Nurture lv10

Underworld lv6 → Underworld lv7

Divine Artifact lv1

Heavenly Thunder lv5

“Hehe.”

The Green Snake giggled foolishly while holding the broken gourd.

Happy.

Super happy!

Damn, he was exploding with joy!

During this Artifact Refining, Xu Qing had originally prepared to discard the heaven-accepting gourd; he hadn't expected it to actually be completed.

As it turned out, surprises come that suddenly.

With a mountain carved from a Floating Island as the main material, countless Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and spiritual materials as auxiliary materials, tempered by the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, and finally stabilized by the lifelong Dao Cultivation of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivator.

However, the only thing he didn't understand was that the heaven-accepting gourd had become a Divine Artifact.

The Xiliang Sword was also a Divine Artifact.

It was the Divine Artifact belonging to the divine position of the West River God.

Then what divine position did the heaven-accepting gourd belong to?

Xu Qing looked at the character for 'Hell' faintly outlined by lightning on the gourd and sucked in a breath of cold air.

“It couldn't be... the God of Hell, Yama...”

Xu Qing didn't dare say any more.

The Lightning Tribulation was too strong, and the Green Snake was a coward.

The heaven-accepting gourd hadn't recovered yet; he would study its wonderful uses after it finished its recovery.

He hung the heaven-accepting gourd back on his waist.

The sun slowly rose in the east, and dawn arrived.

The Green Snake, with a snake tail and a human torso, dressed in green robes, faced the sun and bathed in the light of the sunrise.

The sunlight shone on his jade-like scales, glinting with an enchanting light.

This incident had reached a perfect conclusion.

Or perhaps it wasn't perfect?

The Green Snake hadn't even died once.

“Holy crap, I almost forgot!”

“Quickly notify Silly Snake not to trigger the Snake Venom!”

Xu Qing hurriedly took out a stone, crushed it, and notified Silly Snake that the matter had been perfectly resolved.

Now, it was perfect.

Afterward, Daya and her party headed back to the Xuanji Sect.

To prevent unrest in the Xuanji Sect, all the blame was shifted onto the deceased Elder Profound Heart.

What a poor Elder.

The final result was that Profound Heart had been controlled by a Heart Demon and failed in his attempt to harm Daya.

The Xia Dynasty quickly restored its stability.

The Seven Kingdoms unhesitatingly unified, returning to the Xia Dynasty of old.

Under the oversight of a Soul Transformation Cultivator, everything was restored in an orderly fashion.

The speed was so fast that even Xu Qing was amazed.

Mortals and even Dynasties were like tools to be manipulated at will.

Split when told to split, join when told to join.

The current Emperor of the Xia Dynasty was precisely that White Emperor who had slain the snake demon.

To be honest, Xu Qing had no good feelings toward this White Emperor.

Back then, the Prince's Mansion was in the capital, right under the White Emperor's nose!

When he destroyed the Prince's Mansion, the White Emperor had even furiously sent people to investigate, saying they would capture the criminal.

“Are you still unwilling to stay in the Xuanji Sect?”

“Who wants to stay under your nose? I don't want to stay with you!”

“Being the Grand Elder of the Xuanyun Sect is quite pleasant!”

“Don't you agree, Maiden?”

Elder Li huffed and turned her head away, looking like a textbook tsundere.

Here's a joke: the gentle and elegant Li Xiaomo.

“Hey, hey, hey, don't be a tsundere at a time like this. Clearly, behind her back, she's all 'Mother this, Mother that, Mother hug me, Mother kiss me'.”

Of course, Xu Qing didn't dare say his inner thoughts out loud.

He could only say one thing.

“Yes.”

Here's another joke: Xu Qing Snake, who only tells the truth.

“Green Snake, are you also unwilling to stay in the Xuanji Sect?”

Daya looked toward Xu Qing.

Regarding Xu Qing, her feelings were a bit subtle and complicated.

“If Heaven had not birthed me, the Daya Snake, the path of the snake would be like a long night throughout the ages!”

“Argh, dead memories are attacking me!!!”

“Forget it, forget it, forget it!”

In her mind, Daya was frantically smashing her head against a wall.

But her expression didn't show the slightest abnormality; she only nodded gently.

“If there is any trouble, you can come to the Xuanji Sect to find this Elder at any time.”

Here's yet another joke: Daya Snake, who is the same inside and out.

In one room, two people and one snake—they all had bright futures.

“Mother, if you absolutely must hug me before we part, I might not refuse if you beg me.”

The Green Snake looked at Elder Li's bashful appearance and felt like he was about to crack.

Damn it, can't you just be more direct!

Even the Green Snake was getting anxious watching them!

So, tsunderes and the like are really... really... really the best!

No snakes to second the motion?

“Fine, I beg you,”

Daya “begged” helplessly.

“Since that's the case, I suppose I can let you hug me for a bit...”

“...”

“I won't disturb you, I'm leaving now!”

Leaving the Xuanji Sect.

Xu Qing stretched in front of the Xuanji Sect's mountain gate.

This drew sidelong glances from the Disciples guarding the mountain.

“Time to go back to the River God Temple!”

Lightly stepping off the ground, Xu Qing soared into the sky, weaving freely through the clouds.

Then, feeling it wasn't enough fun, he transformed into his Green Snake true form, diving with his mouth wide open.

The Husky of snakes.

Only after having his fill of fun did Xu Qing restore his human form.

After all, it was better to be a bit restrained in human territory.

He flew toward the west.

Passing by the Min River.

The Min River, one of the main rivers of the Xia Dynasty, stretched for ten thousand miles, winding and twisting across more than half of the Xia Dynasty.

“The Min River God greets the West River Maiden.”

Jiang Mo flew out of the Min River, transformed into human form, and bowed to Xu Qing.

“What is it?”

Xu Qing didn't really like this black snake; if he hadn't stopped their group back then, maybe they wouldn't have had to suffer those hardships.

“Well, does the Maiden have a marriage partner? What do you think of me?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing bared his teeth in a Hoarse grimace, showing a fierce expression, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Damn, disgusting, absolutely disgusting!

If the Green Snake weren't unable to win the fight, he would have given Jiang Mo the full treatment of 'kill and detain' today.

“Could it be that the Maiden likes female snakes?”

Seeing Xu Qing's reaction, Jiang Mo sighed.

“The Lisheng Green Snake has a noble Bloodline and has no gender; they will fix their gender based on the person they like.”

“It seems the Maiden doesn't have anyone she likes yet.”

Xu Qing sucked in a breath of cold air after hearing this.

What kind of weird snake had he evolved into!

Since his reincarnation, Xu Qing was indeed face-blind, but who said he didn't have someone he liked?

If he had to say there was love at first sight...

Then it would be...

Seeing himself on the day of his Transformation...

“Then, how does it count if I like myself?”

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Mo didn't say anything, but silently took a small step back.

“No, I mean if! I'm just saying if!”

A narcissistic snake, confirmed.
