Teng Snake Inheritance
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
In the thick fog and void, a giant snake head floated, with three people attacking it from three directions in a triangle. The scene froze for a moment, and the snake's eyes, which had been devoid of consciousness and purely ferocious, suddenly showed fear. With a "whoosh," it returned to its body and bones, its head snapping back into place with a "creak," and immediately pretended to be dead and motionless.
The Qi Tu remains grinned, as if about to laugh again.
The Soaring Serpent writhed violently, and the two skeletons emitted a piercing creaking sound. The Qi Tu could no longer laugh and angrily turned to peck at the Soaring Serpent, and the two began to fight each other again.
"Clang, clang, clang," the Demon Power scattered and bombarded everywhere, making a great deal of noise.
Qin Yi: "..."
Cheng Cheng: "..."
Ye Ling: "They're so cute!"
Qin Yi didn't find them cute at all. The blurry consciousness that had just flashed through his mind, even though he couldn't see anything clearly, he could still clearly feel the ferocity of the snake and bird back then. That kind of violence and ferocity was etched into their bones, and he could feel the murderous aura that could tear everything apart from a distance.
In reality, it's the way the earth's Demon Power can influence people, their most primal ferocity and wildness.
It's like the figure simply tied them together; a reasonable person would have been able to make peace and separate amicably. Instead, they became ferocious and distrustful of each other, each wanting to kill the other, resulting in mutual destruction. Before the terrifying aftershocks hit, these two nearly killed themselves; otherwise, they wouldn't have been killed by a mere glancing blow.
They were originally... all at the level of the Ancestral Ancestor Saint of the Demon Race, which is equivalent to the Formless Realm of humans.
In such a great battle, those at the Qian Yuan Level have no right to participate; only those at the Wu Xiang level or above are eligible.
Despite being relentlessly attacked by that terrifying figure, the Teng Snake only felt pain without sustaining serious injury. This was the true strength of the Soaring Serpent; its physical strength was far superior to that of the Vegetable Snake.
That figure... the blurry image was so indistinct that nothing could be clearly seen, even the figure was abstract, but Qin Yi knew that it was Bangbang, definitely Bangbang. "Being deceived," this perfectly matched Bangbang's initial wariness of Ye Ling.
This Soaring Serpent had been beaten with a club before, so it felt a natural fear when it came into contact with the Liusu of the tassels inside the Wolf Tooth Club. Even the image Qin Yi sensed surfaced because of this. Fear made it restrain its ferocity and pretend to be docile, but its ferocity was impossible to suppress, and it turned around and started fighting with the Qi Tu again... This is called incorrigible.
What's so cute about it...?
Well, also, I knew that Bangbang was not only Wuxiang, but even if he was Wuxiang, he was at the peak of Wuxiang, and there was a greater probability that he was Taiqing.
"Bangbang is the best," Qin Yi really wanted to lick, but this wasn't the right time.
The Soaring Serpent seemed to have gained the upper hand, temporarily extinguishing the Qi Tu. Then, the snake turned its head and gazed at them with a sinister look. The fierceness and murderous intent in its eyes were gone, replaced by something strange.
She seemed to subconsciously avoid Qin Yi, yet was drawn to Ye Ling.
The vertical pupils gradually softened.
Ye Ling's eyes also became somewhat dazed, and she drifted blankly toward the remains of the Soaring Serpent.
Qin Yi grabbed him. "What are you doing?"
"N-I don't know." Ye Ling scratched her head. "It's like something is calling me, urging me to come closer."
Cheng Cheng waved her hand. "Bloodline connection should be a good thing... If it's the only Soaring Serpent remains down here, it means that Ye Ling's bloodline was awakened because of its the Unseen call and resonance... This is the instinct for the reproduction and inheritance of the race... In a sense, it's not wrong to say that it is Ye Ling's ancestor or even father."
The Demon King's judgment on this matter must be accurate. In fact, the reason she came to this secret realm was for this very moment.
Qin Yi released Ye Ling, letting her float away, and complained, "How long did it take them to realize there were their descendants here? So, the reason Ye Ling awakened is because only her stupidity is closest to her ancestor's?"
Cheng Cheng chuckled, "Don't underestimate Ye Ling. The only reason she awakened is because she has the highest talent; there can't be any other reason."
Qin Yi thought about Ye Ling's previous Super Saiyan -like breakthrough patterns and could only nod in agreement. To be so afraid of death that it caused him to break through to the point of bursting with energy was undeniably a god-like talent; he knew he didn't possess that ability...
Ye Ling had already reached Soaring Serpent and was looking at Soaring Serpent's eyes with a somewhat bewildered expression.
The Soaring Serpent's vertical pupils also looked at her with a somewhat bewildered expression.
After a long while, Ye Ling finally realized that the Teng Snake Corpse had no consciousness, only instinct, which was why its judgment was slow. She immediately transformed into the Soaring Serpent's appearance with a "bang".
This time, it became two pairs of vertical pupils, one large and one small, staring at each other. A fragmented echo finally rose in Ye Ling's mind, "Cauliflower... weak... lost snake."
Ye Ling Salted Fish lowers its head.
Even the unconscious remnant souls instinctively looked down on her for being weak, throwing away the snake back to ancient times.
Before Ye Ling could refute, various incomprehensible hissing sounds naturally arose in her mind, as if countless ancient patterns were pouring into her brain from all directions. She couldn't understand them or see them clearly. They were various ancient Secret Method and Principle of life that had been severed for tens of thousands of years.
There are also their special cultivation methods for the Soaring Serpent.
This includes a portion of the "Past Saints Heaven Opening Art" that Cheng Cheng was missing.
This is because the fragmented soul of the Soaring Serpent can only hold a limited number of memories, and it has not been fully restored, which has already brought Ye Ling great joy.
"Eat... my... bones... my entire bloodline..."
Ye Ling was startled and looked at the vertical pupils in front of her. "No, it can't be."
"Eat."
"I won't eat it!"
The Soaring Serpent flew into a rage, causing its enormous skeleton to shake violently, dragging the nearby Qi Tu skeleton forward several feet. Instantly, Demon Power surged through the space, causing a sharp, painful scratch.
Qin Yi and Cheng Cheng rushed to their sides, each activating their Law Treasure and preparing for battle.
The Soaring Serpent ignored them, still glaring at Ye Ling: "Eat!"
Ye Ling shook her head. "If you eat it, you won't even have this last bit of your soul left..."
The Soaring Serpent was furious. It acted purely on instinct, knowing only that the Vegetable Snake had to eat the skeleton. In truth, it had no idea why it should eat it; it simply felt that "it should be this way." But the rat snake refused to eat it, and the Teng Snake couldn't offer any explanation, only rage.
Qin Yi and Cheng Cheng could understand to some extent.
The reproduction of living beings is an instinct ingrained in their very bones. As long as they can complete the process of reproduction and avoid extinction, this is another kind of "eternity." However, Ye Ling's Soaring Serpent bloodline is not complete; it still contains half of Vegetable Snake. This remnant soul instinctively senses that it will face extinction again in just a few generations. It does not have the power to resonate with its surroundings for tens of thousands of years.
Ye Ling gently stroked the snake's head and whispered, "You have patterns on your bones, can I practice according to them?"
The Soaring Serpent paused in its anger, seemingly lost in a daze, unsure if it would work, but it calmed down somewhat.
The fact that Ye Ling can calm down a bit proves that her proposal is useful; biological instincts don't lie.
Qin Yi's gaze swept up and down, and sure enough, he found that the bones of the Soaring Serpent were covered with strange patterns. If you didn't look closely, you would think they were cracks. Only after careful observation could you feel the mystery of the Great Dao. However, his current level of knowledge was not enough to analyze them.
"The Ancestor Saint Demon Mark an inscription that is naturally born from Demon Cultivator. If Ye Ling can completely understand it, she will naturally become a pure Soaring Serpent. However, it is quite difficult, so it is more convenient to just eat it directly." Liusu's voice quietly emerged.
"Eating them is definitely out of the question. If someone could do something like eating their own kind, they wouldn't be Ye Ling." Qin Yi responded with his divine sense. "Slowly digesting these Demon Mark is acceptable, even if it's a bit slow."
The Soaring Serpent seemed to sense that Ye Ling had made up her mind, and coiled up in disappointment, its huge bone wings drooping. Ye Ling then jumped onto its back to memorize the Demon Mark.
Qin Yi felt that the Soaring Serpent's posture was very similar to Ye Ling's...
Is it really not because the two of them look so alike that they awakened?
Qin Yi was looking at Ye Ling, while Cheng Cheng was looking around. As she looked, her expression became more and more serious, until her face turned a little pale.
Qin Yi noticed and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"There's something wrong with this place..." Cheng Cheng said with a grim expression, "A place like this, filled with Demon Power and based on Ancient Corpse, couldn't possibly be devoid of any heavenly materials and earthly treasures; that would defy the Heavenly Dao. Yet here there are none... no, there are..."
He paused, then pointed to a demonic flower in the distance. "Look at those Three-Headed Flower, they're probably less than a hundred years old, maybe not even sentient yet... Why have they grown like this in tens of thousands of years? Could it be that those that had already matured were harvested?"
Qin Yi's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
