Evolution, Five-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python!

"Your Majesty, the latest news from the Jia Ma Empire."

"Yun Shan of the Misty Cloud Sect has officially entered seclusion. The position of Sect Master has been passed to his disciple, Yun Yun."

"Nalan Jie of the Nalan Family has taken a turn for the worse. He is now bedridden and can no longer manage the family's affairs."

"The Gama Emperor of the Gama Royal Family has also worsened. Pill King Gu He personally went to examine him, but the outlook seems grim. Jia Xing Tian has no choice but to step in and take charge."

Below, the Second Elder reported the intelligence gathered during this period to Medusa.

The Snake-People Race and the Jia Ma Empire were sworn enemies. Though the Snake-People Race had now been forced to live in a place like the Tagor Desert, they remained constantly attentive to the Jia Ma Empire's situation.

Should anything major happen within the Jia Ma Empire, the Snake-People Race would be able to launch a counterattack at once.

"So that old fellow Yun Shan finally couldn't resist entering seclusion? How strong is his disciple?" As she spoke, Medusa gently stroked Ning Su in her arms.

Ever since witnessing Ning Su evolve by devouring magical beasts, Medusa had raised her regard for him by another level.

She even brought him along when discussing matters with the various elders.

Ning Su could not refuse, either.

After all, he was currently considered Medusa's pet. Even if he wanted to run, he could not escape.

Besides, there was no reason for him to run!

He could stay in Medusa's embrace every day. It was unimaginably comfortable, so why would he run?

He wished he could lie in Medusa's arms every day—fragrant and soft.

The Second Elder answered, "Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect's new Sect Master, is said to be a Three-Star Dou Huang."

"A Three-Star Dou Huang... Their younger generation has produced quite a remarkable figure."

Medusa and Yun Shan belonged to the same generation of experts.

Now, Yun Shan had already trained a disciple who was a Three-Star Dou Huang.

Yet Medusa had no Dou Huang under her command who was similarly young.

But... perhaps she could raise this little fellow into a Dou Huang.

Medusa stroked Ning Su, who was sleeping comfortably in her arms.

For the time being, there were no more talented young members within the Snake-People Race.

Ning Su was the best choice.

Medusa also had great faith in this little fellow.

"The Gama Royal Family is in turmoil as well. Even that old fellow Jia Xing Tian has had to come out of retirement and take charge again."

Medusa's autumn eyes remained calm and undisturbed.

"Have the neighboring empires made any moves?"

"In the Chuyun Empire, Xie Biyan of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has been in seclusion for many years. He has now formally passed the position of sect leader to Xie Shan, who recently broke through to become a Nine-Star Dou Huang."

"In the Luoyan Empire, Yan Luotian of the Golden Goose Sect successfully made a breakthrough and reached One-Star Dou Zong."

"Of the Mulan Three Elders in the Mulan Empire, two have also broken through to Peak Dou Huang."

"There has not been much activity in the Sky Serpent Empire recently, but the Sky Serpent Mansion appears to be searching for something. Their traces were discovered near the Jia Ma Empire's border."

The Second Elder continued her report.

The Snake-People Race did not face only the Jia Ma Empire.

There were also several neighboring empires.

Back then, when the Snake-People Race had been driven into the Tagor Desert, it had not been the work of the Jia Ma Empire alone.

Several great empires had joined forces to encircle and suppress the Snake-People Race.

Otherwise, the Jia Ma Empire alone would not have been enough to reduce the Snake-People Race to such a state.

However, because the Tagor Desert was closest to the Jia Ma Empire, the conflict between the Snake-People Race and the Jia Ma Empire was more severe.

The Snake-People Race wanted to break out of the Tagor Desert and seek a better living environment.

Defeating the Jia Ma Empire alone would not be enough. They needed sufficient strength to suppress several neighboring empires at the same time!

Although the neighboring empires had made no moves against the Snake-People Race in recent years, once the Snake-People Race launched a counterattack against the Jia Ma Empire, those empires would not simply stand by and watch.

Listening to their conversation, Ning Su could also feel the pressure weighing upon the Snake-People Race.

The current Snake-People Race was being painfully supported by Medusa alone.

Although she still had the Eight Snake-People Leaders beneath her, all eight were merely Dou Wang experts.

They could still be considered powerful within a single empire.

But once it developed into a war between the Snake-People Race and an empire, Dou Wangs could not determine the outcome of the battle.

Only Dou Huangs, or even Dou Zongs, could play a decisive role!

However, no empire would come looking for trouble with the Snake-People Race during this period.

The Snake-People Race still had time to develop.

"Continue monitoring their movements. Report back if there are any major developments."

Medusa waved her hand and left, carrying Ning Su in her arms.

"Queen, all the food prepared for Little Black is here."

Hua She'er helped prepare Medusa's food while also preparing food for Ning Su.

Medusa ate ordinary human food.

What was prepared for Ning Su, however, were several lively Magical Beasts—after all, he was special, and the fiercer the food, the better.

"Go on, little fellow. Eat more and grow stronger." Medusa set Ning Su down.

Ning Su did not stand on ceremony. He immediately began devouring several Magical Beasts like a whirlwind.

The quality of these Magical Beasts was quite good. They were all Fourth-Order Magical Beasts.

After devouring the last Magical Beast, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from Ning Su's body.

His cultivation surged directly from Nine-Star Dou Ling to One-Star Dou Wang!

"Little Black broke through?!" Hua She'er was stunned.

That aura had already caught up to hers!

She clearly remembered that when Medusa had first brought Ning Su back, he had only been a Third-Order Magical Beast.

And now, he had become a Fifth-Order Magical Beast just like that!

Medusa was overjoyed as well. "Little Black, you're amazing! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Their Snake-People Race had truly gained another Dou Wang!

Moreover, judging by Ning Su's performance, Dou Wang would definitely not be his limit.

If given a little more time and more good things to eat, he might even become a Dou Emperor.

Congratulations, Host, on successfully breaking through to Dou Wang!

Your bloodline has been upgraded, successfully evolving into the 'Five-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python'!

It was not merely a breakthrough in cultivation; Ning Su's bloodline had also been further enhanced.

The Five-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python was still somewhat inferior to the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

But given enough time, not to mention the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python—even the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python was not impossible!

"Little Black, can you speak now?" Medusa asked.

Some Fifth-Order Magical Beasts could already speak.

Others still could not.

Ning Su opened his mouth, but no matter how he tried, the words forming in his throat would not come out.

Fine, he still could not speak.

So he shook his head, telling Medusa that he still could not speak.

"You still can't speak? That's all right. Once you become a Sixth-Order Magical Beast, you should be able to speak." Medusa felt that her expectations had been too high.

Ning Su's current performance had already brought them an enormous surprise. They could not ask for too much.

"As a reward, I'll allow you to sleep with me tonight."
