Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm

"Lord Tian Qiong, we, the Wu Ling Clan, have been searching for a spiritual object. To capture it, we've spent a year just searching and setting up formations. We were about to succeed when this brat stole the prize. Not only did he refuse to return the object, but he also insulted us. We had already stated that we belong to the Baiyue Divine Kingdom, but he completely disregarded the Baiyue Divine Kingdom."

The bald man said angrily, but Yi Yun didn't care about his embellishments at all. What he cared about was that the bald man's so-called Lord Tianqiong was actually only at the Venerable Mid-stage Tian Qiong.

This level of cultivation is the same as the bald man's.

Although both were at the Venerable Mid-stage, the bald man subtly regarded himself as a junior.

This made Yi Yun curious about the strength of this "Lord of the Tian Qiong".

"You stole the spirit artifact from the Wu Ling Clan?"

Tian Qiong looked at the Seven-Colored Small Snake on Yi Yun's shoulder and guessed that even if the bald man was deliberately trying to provoke Yi Yun, the story he told was probably true.

Yi Yun chuckled and said, "It wasn't stolen; the spirit they were chasing just jumped onto my shoulder on its own."

Yi Yun's words left the Wu Ling Clan members somewhat dumbfounded. They had been too angry to consider this point carefully. Come to think of it, why was this spirit creature perched on Yi Yun's shoulder?

Tian Qiong's expression darkened slightly. He didn't want to argue with Yi Yun about this matter. "Don't test my patience. Hand over the spiritual item and apologize to the Wu Ling Clan, and this matter can be let go. Otherwise, my Baiyue Divine Kingdom will force the forces behind you to hand you over. At that time, you will have your cultivation crippled and be imprisoned until death."

"The forces behind me have nothing to do with me. I just did them a favor, and this Training Ground is their reward to me."

Yi Yun didn't want to get involved with the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, but he thought it was impossible for the Baiyue Divine Kingdom to go to war with the Nine Li Witch Kingdom because of him; that would be making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Hmm?" Tian Qiong narrowed his eyes. Yi Yun clearly had nothing to lose, leaving Tian Qiong at a loss for what to do. "You really have guts. What's your name? Dare to tell me!"

Yi Yun looked at the Tian Qiong as if it were an idiot. "You think I'm as stupid as you? Did you think I'd sign you up so you could seek revenge? I said, do you guys have anything else to say? If not, I'm leaving. I'm not keeping you company."

Yi Yun turned and left after speaking, waving goodbye behind him.

For a moment, outside the great formation, Tian Qiong's expression turned extremely grim.

So what did he come here for? Song Yuge activated her token, summoning him to come and help, but all he could do was the same as the Wu Ling Clan —just say a few words, and he was even mocked by this kid.

This made Tian Qiong feel like a joke.

"Lord Tian Qiong... we..." Song Yuge was also a little embarrassed. She had called Tian Qiong over, but the result was the same as hers—she was humiliated.

The Wu Ling Clan stared at each other in disbelief. How could they let their spiritual treasure go so easily?

"Lord Tian Qiong, whose territory is this? We'll go to its great world, find this brat, and make him wish he were dead!"

The bald man was furious. How could people of their status be so easily fooled by Yi Yun?

"This grand formation contains Space Law, erasing my location coordinates, so it's temporarily impossible to determine which faction it belongs to."

Tian Qiong said in a cold voice, "The space in the Ancient Ruins Realm is chaotic. To travel in the Ancient Ruins Realm, you need some kind of positioning magic item, otherwise you will get lost in the chaotic spatial maze."

Although they have now found the great formation of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, pinpointing its location in the chaotic spatial maze is no easy task.

"Let's go back first. I'll have my senior brother do some divination. I'll find him and make him regret ever being born."

At this moment, Yi Yun had already returned to his secluded mountain cave.

The brief delay hadn't affected his cultivation at all. He was just about to enter a meditative state when a voice suddenly rang in his ears—

"Kid, you've hit the jackpot today!"

"Um?"

Yi Yun was slightly taken aback when he saw a gray figure appear out of thin air in front of him. This figure was none other than the old snake.

The little snake on Yi Yun's shoulder was startled. It hadn't expected such an old man to suddenly appear, especially since the old man was looking at it with an almost lecherous gaze, which made the little snake a little flustered.

"What you mean, senior, is..."

"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, this little guy should be the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm, an ancient demon capable of transforming into a dragon!"

"Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm?"

Hearing the old snake's words, Yi Yun looked at the little snake beside him in disbelief. This thing didn't look like a silkworm at all.

"That's not surprising. The Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm can change its form multiple times, eventually transforming into a dragon. This silkworm has probably already transformed once or twice. It has changed from the appearance of a silkworm into this small horned snake. Don't underestimate its size; it has lived for at least several million years."

Millions of years...

Seeing that the snake was only three inches long, Yi Yun was a little surprised. It took millions of years to grow to this size; it was growing way too slowly.

The old snake saw through Yi Yun's thoughts and shook its head, saying, "The current Guixu is no longer comparable to the ancient era. Even in the Ancient Ruins Realm, both the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and the Heaven and Earth Laws have become much weaker. For this Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm to grow, it needs to devour Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and absorb the essence of heaven and earth. It's not easy for a lone silkworm to do all this. It's already quite good that it has grown to this point."

"I suspect that the egg that hatched this Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm was left over from ancient times, but it was sealed for some reason. It must have gone through a long period of time before it hatched by chance. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find an ancient demon with such a rich bloodline in this era."

As time goes by, the bloodline of ancient demons is diluted due to interbreeding with other living beings, but the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm in front of us has not been diluted much, which is why the old snake made this guess.

"Little Yunzi, if you have any rare and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that you don't need, you can feed them to this little guy. It hasn't been easy for him to grow up to this point."

Upon hearing the old snake's words, the little snake's eyes widened immediately. It clearly understood the old snake's words. Originally, it had been wary of the old snake, but now, hearing the old snake say that its growth was not easy and that it would be fed rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the little creature's eyes immediately welled up with tears, as if it had found a kindred spirit.

"By the way, after you feed it, you can let some of its blood flow. This divine silkworm blood is a great tonic and can help you break through to the next level."

The old snake added another sentence, which startled the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm. It immediately distanced itself from the old snake, hiding behind Yi Yun and watching the old snake warily.

"This... isn't that a bit inappropriate..." Yi Yun rubbed his nose.

"What's wrong with that? The Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm's greatest strength lies in its own blood and energy. Don't underestimate this little guy just because it's only three inches long. It has a whole universe within it. If it really wanted to bleed, it could fill a vat without any problem. As long as you don't take too much blood, there won't be any issues. Besides, you're feeding it Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Since you're collecting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for it to eat, even if it bleeds, its growth will definitely be much faster than if it absorbs the essence of heaven and earth on its own."

"This guy, does he really have... a vat of blood?" Yi Yun looked at the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm, feeling that it was too outrageous for this little guy to have so much blood on him. The little snake shook its head like a rattle drum, desperately denying it.

"This little thing is putting on an act with me. These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures don't just fall from the sky; do you think I'd give them to you for free?" The old snake said, glancing at Yi Yun, and added, "Didn't you get a fire seed before? That fire seed was a spiritual object formed from the essence of heaven and earth, and it's also the favorite food of the divine silkworm."

"Can a fire seed work too?" Yi Yun was somewhat surprised. This Southern Departure Fire was originally the fire seed of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom's Medicine Nurturing Great Formation. With Xie'er replacing the Southern Departure Fire, it was naturally useless. Originally, Yi Yun planned to give the Southern Departure Fire to Xie'er, but the Medicine God had already given the Emperor Heaven Pure Fire to the Evil God's Fire Seed, so swallowing another Southern Departure Fire wouldn't be very effective.

Giving the Southern Departure Fire to the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm might be a good choice.

With that thought in mind, Yi Yun took out the Southern Departure Fire.

The pale golden flames burned quietly. Upon seeing the Southern Departure Fire, the little snake immediately stood upright, its large eyes shining.

It showed a strong desire to devour this Southern Departure Fire.

"Ahem." Yi Yun coughed twice. "Little guy, you heard what the senior said just now, right? Well, if I become stronger, I can find more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for you in the future, so you can grow faster."

Although Yi Yun was usually thick-skinned, discussing blood collection with this little guy felt like tricking a child out of candy.

The Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm hesitated for a moment, looking at the Southern Departure Fire and then at Yi Yun. It seemed to have made a great decision, and finally nodded.

Without Yi Yun lifting a finger, its body began to tremble slightly, and droplets of blood seeped from its scales. These droplets gathered together to form a blood sphere the size of a fist, which slowly floated toward Yi Yun.

After forcing out the blood sphere, the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm looked timidly at the old snake, its eyes seemingly asking, "Is this enough?"

The old snake pursed his lips, clearly dissatisfied with the amount. He said slowly, "Little guy, I know you have a whole vat of blood on you. Can't you show a little sincerity? You don't want me to help you, do you?"

Hearing the old snake's words, the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm felt a little guilty. In its eyes, the old man was simply a demon.

After hesitating for a moment, it forced out some more blood droplets, and almost a bowl of blood flowed out.

"Uh... that's enough." Yi Yun felt a little reluctant. In fact, even without using the Divine Silkworm Blood, he could break through to the Venerable Realm if he spent enough time.

Of course, having the blood of the Divine Silkworm would be even better, as it would purify his Dragon Emperor Bloodline as well.

Hearing Yi Yun say this, the little guy felt relieved. It secretly glanced at the old snake and saw that the old snake did not object. It finally breathed a sigh of relief and then eagerly pounced on the Southern Departure Fire in Yi Yun's hand.

The Southern Departure Fire had not yet developed sentience, so it did not avoid the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm and was swallowed up by the silkworm in a few bites.

The Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm was completely satisfied after swallowing the seed of fire.

It slowly crawled onto Yi Yun's shoulder and lay down there. Because of its Dragon Emperor Bloodline, it had an instinctive affinity for Yi Yun —there were simply too few beings with the Dragon Emperor Bloodline in this era.

Soon, the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm seemed to be drunk, becoming dizzy and then falling asleep.

It used Yi Yun's shoulder as a bed and slept soundly.

"The Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm will digest the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth while it sleeps. You should hurry up and break through." As the old snake spoke, it transformed into a stream of light and returned to the God Descending Tower.

"Good!" Yi Yun took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming.
