675: Chapter 675 Attacking the Buddhist Sect

[Three-Headed Yao Python: High Grade Level 5 Bloodline, possesses three heads, each mastering Water, Fire, and Ice Laws respectively. Divine Ability 'Three-Element Combo Strike': all three heads simultaneously exhale demon power of different attributes, producing explosive power.

The three heads share a single consciousness, but possess three different personalities, similar to a split personality.

Advantages: Strong explosive power, Yao Beasts of the same rank struggle to withstand its full-power strike; Disadvantages: High consumption, it becomes very passive once dragged into a prolonged fight.]

As Liu Xuan read the description, he released the black, red, and white intertwined reward orb from his Sea of Consciousness.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

"Clatter~"

"Clatter~"

As the orb expanded, a strange python with a body length of ten zhang and three heads aligned on its torso emerged. Its snake body twisted slowly, its scales emitting a clattering sound like metal and stone rubbing together. The three heads looked at Liu Xuan simultaneously, their eyes filled with three parts ignorance and three parts intimacy.

The left head was entirely crimson, the middle was ink-black, and the right was pale white. Scales of these three colors extended from the heads along the entire torso, making it look a bit gaudy.

Apart from its ultimate Divine Ability, the Three-Element Combo Strike, the Three-Headed Yao Python also possessed three lesser Divine Abilities.

When the crimson flame head dominated, it could summon Heaven-Burning Flames. These flames could burn away magic power, demon power, and spiritual power, and were extremely difficult to extinguish until they had burned everything to ash.

When the ink-black water head dominated, it could summon the Waters of Canglan. This water had extremely strong penetrating power, capable of eroding and polluting the Laws of Heaven and Earth, continuously weakening the opponent's strength.

When the pale ice head dominated, it could summon Extreme Cold Ice Qi, radiating extreme low temperatures to freeze everything.

Liu Xuan didn't care much about how strong the Three-Headed Yao Python was at its Peak, and couldn't be bothered to look closely. What surprised him was that its aura had actually reached the Early Nascent Soul Stage; it was no longer a hatchling like before.

"When I first obtained the Black Crystal Bee Queen, it was just a larva. When I got the Myriad Longevity Black Tortoise, it was born at the Qi Refinement Stage. Big Green, Little Green, and the Ancient Savage Bull Big Black were born at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage. Now, the Three-Headed Yao Python is born at the Early Nascent Soul Stage. Is it linked to my current cultivation Realm?"

Liu Xuan had roughly figured out the mechanism for Spirit Beast rewards. If the Bloodline grade was higher than Liu Xuan's current cultivation, the Spirit Beast would start at the Early stage of Liu Xuan's current major Realm.

"If I don't claim the reward after obtaining it, and wait until I advance to the Soul Transformation stage to claim it, will it start at the Early Soul Transformation stage as a Yao Saint?"

"If the rewarded Spirit Beast is lower than my current major Realm, will it be at its Peak state when claimed, or can it break through its Bloodline limitations?"

Liu Xuan had many thoughts, but unfortunately, they were difficult to verify. As the number of his offspring increased, ordinary offspring basically only rewarded Spirit Stones, and special resources or Spirit Beasts rarely appeared.

"Next time a Spirit Beast reward appears, I won't be in a rush to claim it. I'll experiment with it then, and it will be clear!"

Although the Early Nascent Soul Stage Three-Headed Yao Python wasn't useless, it didn't have much practical use either. Liu Xuan lost all interest and glared at the three snake heads that were still staring at him, scolding, "Why are you so big? Keep a low profile!"

The Three-Headed Yao Python's three heads were stunned for a moment, then shrank into a small snake as thick as a thumb and flew to Liu Xuan's shoulder to lie down.

An Early Nascent Soul Stage Spirit Beast was useless for Liu Xuan to keep by his side; it was best to give it to his children to form a contract.

Among Liu Xuan's current Human Race Bloodline offspring, only the Eldest Son Dao Yuan had formed a Golden Core, but he already had Big Black, and he himself didn't intend to change his Spirit Beast.

"The fourth, fifth, ninth, and the eightieth-ranked Nickname are all close to Core Formation. Whoever breaks through first gets priority!"

These four Disciples who were about to undergo Core Formation were actually already preparing to contract a Nascent Soul Spirit Beast after forming their cores.

The fourth child was very close to that Nascent Soul wild boar Yao Beast of Zhu Pan, and the other three also had connections with Nascent Soul Demon Lords who had defected from the Endless Demon Court and had been implanted with Puppet Gu sub-gu.

With Liu Xuan, their old father, around, the Liu Family Disciples would never lack High Grade Spirit Beasts. In order to cling to the big tree that was the Liu Family, many Southern Border Demon Tribe members scrambled to become their contracted Spirit Beasts.

However, although they were all Nascent Soul Demon Lords, the Three-Headed Yao Python's High Grade Level 5 Bloodline was several tiers higher than the likes of Zhu Pan; it just depended on whether they had the Opportunity.

"It's a pity that the Yao Race cannot form contracts with the Yao Race, otherwise I could have just given it to Tong Xiao, Jinglei, or Yu Chi to be their lackey; it should have been able to help them form their Nascent Souls sooner."

There was no need for Jing Zun, who had the highest Bloodline grade; he simply didn't need it.

...A few months later.

The fourth child was in seclusion at Liangyi Palace, and Liu Xuan temporarily used the Three-Headed Yao Python as a mount.

Must say, with the Three-Headed Yao Python revealing its hundreds-of-zhang-long snake body and pulling the great sun warship across the sea, regardless of whether it was fast or not, it was certainly quite flashy.

The Three-Headed Yao Python looked extraordinary at first glance. Jiang Xingwan had once asked Liu Xuan about its origins, but Liu Xuan had casually brushed it off by saying it was a Yao tribe member that had defected from the Southern Border.

One day, when Liu Xuan was showing off on the great sun warship pulled by the Three-Headed Yao Python in the Yin-Yang Archipelago, a piece of news interrupted his rhythm of showing off.

"Did the Long Whale Palace really attack the territory of the Joyous Union Sect?"

The person who came to report this news to Liu Xuan was none other than Hehuan Daoist Lord Cui Siya.

The Yin-Yang Branch and the Hehuan Lineage were closest to the Chaotic Sea Region. Jiang Xingwan had been in seclusion during this time to break through her Bottleneck, and it had been Hehuan Daoist Lord Cui Siya who was keeping an eye on the movements of the Yao Race on the front lines.

Hehuan Daoist Lord Cui Siya frowned and said, "The Long Whale Palace's current invasion of the near-shore sea area is very strange. Currently, they have only sent a low-grade Yao tribe army to invade the border sea area, with no intention of a quick victory."

Once the Long Whale Palace invaded the near-shore sea area of the Joyous Union Sect, the biggest threat they faced was not the counterattack of the Joyous Union Sect, but the support and intervention of the Dao Court.

Therefore, from their perspective, if they wanted to take down the Joyous Union Sect, the only strategy was a quick victory, destroying the Joyous Union Sect before the Dao Court's support arrived to seize the home-field advantage.

The more abnormal things were, the more uneasy Cui Siya felt in her heart. "How much longer will Sister Xingwan be in seclusion? Can you ask her to come out so we can make plans early?"

When Cui Siya received the news, she originally wanted to go to Jiang Xingwan to discuss it first, but the Xuanyin Pavilion's great array was sealed, and she was afraid of disturbing Jiang Xingwan's Breakthrough, so she came to find Liu Xuan instead.

"Don't be anxious!" Liu Xuan pacified Cui Siya with a sentence, then thought for a moment and said, "You continue to keep an eye on the movements of the Long Whale Palace, and I will send someone to ask Red Dust Daoist Lord Su Qingyan about the situation on the Dao Court's side."

The matter was urgent, so Liu Xuan didn't explain much more to her. He left a sliver of his Divine Thought in Qiankun Hall to monitor the situation at any time, then continuously used the Space-Escaping Technique, arriving at Bliss Island in a very short time.

Directly revealing his identity, Liu Xuan quickly passed through the great array and entered the core Mortal World Garden.

As soon as he appeared, before he could open his mouth, Red Dust Daoist Lord Su Qingyan, with a look of anxiety on her face, spoke first: "I was just about to go find you and Sister Jiang. The Dao Court has made a move."

Liu Xuan hurriedly asked, "What move?"

"The Dao Court's Xuangang Prefecture has decided to attack the Buddhist Sect in the Western Desert, and all the troops deployed previously are already rushing to the west."

"Attack the Buddhist Sect?" Liu Xuan was full of question marks. Was the Dao Court bored enough to go attack the Buddhist Sect?
