186: The Heavenly Snake Mansion wants face

Chapter 186 Heavenly Serpent Mansion Wants Some Face

“As long as there are enough resources, this Devouring Heavenly Corpse can quickly recover to the Peak Dou Zun level.”

“If the power of the Void Swallowing Flame can be collected, it even has the potential to grow to the Dou Sheng level.”

Chu Xiao’s mind stirred, and he had the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame cooperate with the Devouring Heavenly Corpse to frantically devour the energy of heaven and earth.

The dried body of the Devouring Heavenly Corpse began to fill out at a visible speed, turning into a burly man.

On the Tian Xuan Continent, the Old Ancestor of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox Tribe was the woman of the Devouring Lord and could also roughly use the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

Not long after Lin Dong obtained the shattered Devouring Heavenly Corpse, he met the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, who then used the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to repair it to rival a Samsara Realm expert.

In fact, purely in terms of destructive power and Physical Body strength, it could already rival an expert who had touched Reincarnation.

It was just that the higher the Realm, the more insights into the power of heaven and earth were involved.

Whether it was the Samsara Realm that touched Reincarnation, or the Half-Saint of the Fighting Qi Continent, their battles carried the might of heaven and earth, which the Devouring Heavenly Corpse could not compare to.

However, the second Devouring Heavenly Corpse Lin Dong obtained in the Devouring Divine Hall, due to absorbing the power of the Devouring Lord, had a strength comparable to an ordinary Samsara Realm expert.

This indicated that as long as it obtained enough powerful power of the same origin and was imbued with “sentience,” the Devouring Heavenly Corpse could continue to evolve.

Although the Fighting Qi Continent did not have the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, it had the Void Swallowing Flame.

Gathering enough Void Swallowing Flame sub-fire power, or waiting for the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame to grow to the point where it could split off sub-fires, would allow the Devouring Heavenly Corpse to “come alive.”

As for now, the Devouring Heavenly Corpse was still a Puppet that he could “wirelessly control” in his hands.

“Finally, it’s done!”

About half an hour later, Chu Xiao withdrew his hand and let out a long breath.

The Devouring Heavenly Corpse had undergone a great change in appearance, its Face bearing three or four parts resemblance to Chu Xiao, its height exceeding two meters, and its body covered in metallic lines like mecha armor.

Its eyes were lifeless, like two bottomless, mysterious black holes that could swallow everything.

“Conceal!”

Chu Xiao formed a single-hand Seal, sending the Devouring Heavenly Corpse into a small space he had opened up in his Sea of Consciousness.

After completing all of this, he bent down to pick up Yun Yun, took a step, and the space twisted; when it settled, they were already at the top of the Purple Micro Heavenly Astral Tower.

Looking out, there was a bottomless, hundred-zhang pool in the distance, which was the Ziwei Star Power accumulated by the Purple Micro Heavenly Astral Tower over the past half year.

“If I obtain the Three Thousand Burning Flame and place it on top of the Purple Micro Heavenly Astral Tower, the accumulation speed should increase several times.”

The Three Thousand Burning Flame also originated in the Void Star Sea and could devour all star power.

Although its rank was far inferior to the Purple Micro Heavenly Astral Tower, it could still enhance some effects.

Condensing a lotus of fire, Chu Xiao gently placed Yun Yun on it and walked into the Star Spirit Spring.

Every cell in his body began to greedily absorb, and the Lapis Lazuli Thunder Body completely stabilized at the Perfection level, beginning to transform towards the next stage.

Chu Xiao decided to name it the Star Thunder Body, forged with the power of the stars and the Thunder Gang Emperor Flame as its foundation.

Once it reaches the entry level, it can rival the Spirit Body of a Dou Zun in physique, directly catching up to an eighth-tier Demonic Beast.

However, this transformation would take a considerable amount of time, and he was temporarily unavailable.

“After being in seclusion for so long, it’s time to go out and see.”

“I wonder what’s happening outside.”

“No one has sent me any messages, so I guess nothing major has happened!”

Chu Xiao bathed in the Star Spirit Spring, performing the Heavenly Evolution Art.

This star power could restore his greatly depleted Soul power.

Now that his Soul had reached the Spirit Realm, using Soul power felt effortless.

“Hmm!?”

Chu Xiao was a little dumbfounded after deducing the information he wanted to know through the Heavenly Mystery Divination.

“Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, Yao Lao, Little Yan Zi…”

“Yun Shan, Ling Ying, Princess Yao Yue, Yao Ye…”

“Cai Lin, Ya Fei…”

“Cao Ying? Xuan Yi?”

“Good heavens, you guys are really good at causing trouble!”

Chu Xiao took out a copy of the notes and carefully considered how to write it.

At the same time, in the Luo Yan Empire, Golden Goose Grand Canyon, inside the Golden Goose Grand Hall, the main seat at the very top was empty, with many experts from Soaring Heavens Pavilion seated on both sides.

Xiao Yan, Queen Medusa, Yun Shan, Ling Ying, Xie Bi Yan, Jia Xingtian, and others were all present.

This place was originally the Sect’s location of the Golden Goose Sect.

Now, it was the newest northwest border front line of the Jia Ma Empire, a subordinate force of Soaring Heavens Pavilion.

The original Sect Hall of the Golden Goose Sect was built on the highest Peak of the canyon, which was originally the dwelling place of the Azure-feathered Golden Goose.

The founder of the Golden Goose Sect was a Dou Zong expert who established the Golden Goose Sect after defeating the Peak sixth-tier Demonic Beast, the Azure-feathered Golden Goose King.

To this day, the seventh-tier Azure-feathered Golden Goose King has broken through to the seventh tier and has always been the protective Demonic Beast of the Golden Goose Sect; Personal Disciples and senior Elders within the Sect would each have an Azure-feathered Golden Goose as a mount.

However, now, the wings of the seventh-tier Azure-feathered Golden Goose King have grown on Xiao Yan’s back, and his Flying Dou Technique has become even stronger as a result.

“Regarding the challenge agreement proposed by the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, what do you all think?”

Ya Fei stood beside the empty main seat, looking down at everyone, and softly spoke.

In just eight months, she seemed to have undergone a tremendous transformation.

Her cultivation had skyrocketed from the Dou Disciple level to the Peak Dou Master, and she remained composed even when facing a group of Dou Emperors and Dou Zongs.

And her confidence naturally came from the strong support of Chu Xiao, the Sect Master of Soaring Heavens Pavilion, and everyone expressed their support.

“This King thinks we don’t need to pay attention to it!” Cai Lin sat with one leg crossed over her knee, a hint of arrogance appearing on her exquisite Face: “According to our investigations, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion has been in isolated cultivation with no news, and the internal power struggles have intensified over the past century.”

“The Sect Master’s lineage, the Grand Elder, and the Third Elder are three factions that refuse to submit to each other, separately controlling the eastern, western, and northern parts of the Central Region of the Northwest Continent, with only the southern part being a mixed bag.”

“The Heavenly Snake Empire’s imperial family also wants to become independent and no longer be controlled or constrained by the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, gradually gaining control of the southern part.”

“Neither the Heavenly Serpent Mansion nor the Heavenly Snake Empire can even fully control the Central Region, so what right do they have to meddle in our affairs?”

The Fighting Qi Continent is vast, and the Northwest Continent occupies less than a tenth of it, regarded by the Central Plains as a remote and impoverished area, where traces of Half-Saint experts are rare.

But in fact, the Northwest Continent is also vast, divided into five regions—east, south, west, north, and central—by the Magical Beast Mountain Range and numerous other mountain ranges.

In its heyday, the Heavenly Snake Empire occupied all of the Central Region and parts of the southeastern, western, and northern four regions, but now it only nominally controls the Central Region.

The other four regions currently have no truly top-tier forces, with each region having a dozen or twenty Empires occupying them.

The Jia Ma Empire is located in the Southern Region among the five regions, along with the Mu Lan Empire, the Luo Yan Empire, and the Izumo Empire, all situated in the southernmost part.

The Jia Ma Empire is in the southwestern direction of the Southern Region, and its southern province borders the Black-Corner Region.

Currently, the Jia Ma Empire has annexed most of the Izumo Empire and half of the Luo Yan Empire.

The Snake-People Tribe occupies half of the Mu Lan Empire and is preparing to fully occupy it before establishing a Snake-People Empire.

The other Empires in the Southern Region, seeing this, could no longer sit still, which is why they invited people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to mediate.

However, Medusa believed that there was no need to give them this Face, as the Heavenly Serpent Mansion could not even control the Central Region now, and its influence in the Southern Region was limited.

Furthermore, her man was about to emerge from seclusion.

What was a mere Heavenly Serpent Mansion?

“This Face, we might really have to give.” Xie Bi Yan suddenly spoke.

“Hmm?” Medusa’s eyes turned cold.

Xie Bi Yan was controlled by her Snake Seal, so he should be the least likely to defy her orders.

“People from the Hall of Souls approached me.” Xie Bi Yan felt a chill down his spine and immediately explained: “I feigned a desire to defect and learned from them that those Empires would unite, and that they were also behind the coordination.”

“This is also why I asked everyone to gather here to discuss the next round of countermeasures.”
