Year One Hundred and Twenty: Deceiving the Snake People Clan

One year later.

"Boom!"

A sudden, deafening roar erupted from Yun Shan's secluded cultivation spot on Misty Cloud Mountain, startling all the elders within the Misty Cloud Sect.

Immediately, all the elders rushed to Yun Shan's secluded cultivation place.

"Hahaha, I have finally cultivated myself into Dou Zong powerhouse!"

Yun Shan stepped out of the cave, stroked his long beard, and released his fighting Dou Qi like a surging tide, shocking all the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect.

A year ago, Yun Shan received the Eternal Sacred Body Art from Yun Potian. He then spent another year in seclusion cultivating, which strengthened his physical body and enhanced his aptitude. As a result, his speed of absorbing Dou Qi gradually increased. Thus, he accumulated his strength and then broke through to the Two-Star Dou Zong realm.

"The former sect leader has actually advanced to the Dou Zong. It seems that the Misty Cloud Sect is destined for great prosperity in the future!" All the elders came to offer their congratulations.

"The former sect leader has now become Dou Zong. Such a great joyous occasion deserves celebration. How about tomorrow, our Misty Cloud Sect invites the major families of the Jia Ma Empire, as well as the Jia Ma Royal Family, to a banquet to celebrate together?" an inner sect elder suggested.

"Hmm, that's excellent." Yun Shan also felt that it was time to flex his muscles in front of these families.

For many years, although Misty Cloud Sect appeared strong on the surface, it has always been feared by the Jia Ma Royal Family, who have always fabricated various reasons to smear and suppress it. Now is a good opportunity to intimidate the Jia Ma Royal Family and also to make those opportunistic families in the capital choose the right side.

The lively sect banquet was in full swing. In front of Yun Shan, a genuine Two-Star Dou Zong, all the major families in the capital became submissive and dared not even breathe loudly. Jia Xingtian, the Supreme Elder of the Jia Ma Royal Family, was also so restrained and humble in front of Yun Shan for the first time. Only after the banquet ended did Jia Xingtian leave Misty Cloud Sect covered in sweat.

Yun Shan was in a great mood. This was the difference between Dou Zong and Dou Emperor. If it were before, Jia Xingtian would not have been so respectful to him. In high spirits, he returned to his room alone. This old man, who was over sixty years old, was actually humming a little tune today.

"Yun Shan, you seem very happy today!" A voice suddenly came from inside the house.

"Who is here?" Yun Shan was so startled that his chrysanthemum tightened, and he suddenly shouted. With his cultivation level, he hadn't even noticed that anyone was in the house.

Na Lan Yan Ran stepped out from behind the screen inside the room and looked Yun Shan up and down. She noticed that half of Yun Shan's originally gray hair had turned black. It seemed that he had mastered the first level of the Eternal Sacred Body Art, otherwise he would not have shown signs of rejuvenation.

"So it's Yanran, girl?" Old Man Yun Shan breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to put on the airs of a sect leader when he saw Na Lan Yan Ran unleash her battle Dou Qi. The sheer amount of Dou Qi energy was several times greater than his own.

"Six-Star Dou Zong!!!"

Yun Shan was shocked, as if the Na Lan Yan Ran before him was an imposter. How could this girl have become so powerful in just one year?

Before Na Lan Yan Ran went into seclusion, she took away almost all the resources of the Misty Cloud Sect, including the pills in the treasure pavilion and various precious herbs. She left none for the Misty Cloud Sect. With the help of the Supreme Pill Dao and the two great divine skills, it would be considered slow for her to advance to the Dou Zong within two years.

She wouldn't have come out if Na Lan Yan Ran hadn't used up all the resources.

"Yun Shan, I think you've gone senile." Na Lan Yan Ran's Conqueror's Haki from the depths of her soul was suddenly released at this moment. That kingly aura that lasted for millennia and dominated the world made Yun Shan's body tremble slightly, and his face showed fear.

"Grandma?"

At this moment, Yun Shan remembered the words Yun Potian's soul had entrusted to him a year ago: to protect Na Lan Yan Ran well and wait for her to awaken her memories of her past life.

"Grandmaster, have you awakened your memories?" Yun Shan no longer dared to put on airs. He immediately knelt before Na Lan Yan Ran, kowtowed three times, and said, "Misty Cloud Sect Yun Shan, kowtows to Grandmaster."

Na Lan Yan Ran covered her lips with her jade hand, forcibly suppressing a laugh, and said, "Ahem, Xiaoshanzi, you guessed right. I have indeed awakened a lot of memories from my past life. Whether it's divine martial arts manuals or friendships and family ties, I remember most of them. I also remember that in ancient times, I took in a few disciples. I wonder how they are now."

With that, Na Lan Yan Ran handed over the entire cultivation method for the first level of the Eternal Sacred Body Art to Yun Shan.

"Yun Shan, you have made great contributions to the Misty Cloud Sect over the years, so I have decided to pass on this first level of cultivation method to you. I hope you will work even harder in the future and create a more glorious tomorrow for my Misty Cloud Sect."

"Grandmaster, sob sob sob..." Yun Shan held the scroll of the Sacred Body Art in his hands, tears streaming down his face as he cried, "Please rest assured, Grandmaster, Yun Shan will certainly not disappoint you and live up to your high expectations."

At this moment, Yun Shan had no more doubts, only supreme glory. He never expected that his ancestral master would value him so much, casually gifting him a supreme cultivation technique. He would definitely have to work even harder in the future.

"Alright, you're not a child anymore. As the sect leader, what kind of behavior is this, crying like this in front of me? Stop kneeling and get up!"

"Yes, disciple will not cry." Yun Shan, like an old child, hurriedly sobbed as he got up.

If the Misty Cloud Sect will flourish now that he has advanced to the Dou Zong, then after the ancestor awakens his memories, the Misty Cloud Sect will soar to new heights and may even become the most powerful sect on the Dou Qi Continent in the future.

Na Lan Yan Ran glanced at Yun Shan and said, "Now I'm giving you a task: mobilize the entire sect's resources to find more for me. At the same time, you also need to spread out the sect's spies. Recently, I've sensed a change in the heavens; one day in the future, ancient races may very well resurrect in large numbers."

Now her cultivation resources are exhausted, and the Dragon Transformation Divine Art and the Sacred Body Art are like an insatiable hole, requiring more and more as her cultivation level increases.

Therefore, if she wants to improve her cultivation level as quickly as possible, she must find more rare and precious treasures. The small Jia Ma Empire may not be enough for her to squander.

"Yes, please rest assured, Ancestor, this disciple will take care of it immediately."

After Yun Shan left, Na Lan Yan Ran began her next plan. The power of the Misty Cloud Sect would inevitably attract the attention of surrounding sects. Not to mention whether the Ancient Clan would cause trouble, the Soul Hall alone was enough to give her a headache.

She needs to quickly consolidate power throughout the Northwest and rebuild the glory of her past life.

That bastard Xiao Ning not only took in Xiao Yi Xian with the Woeful Poison Body, but also Qing Lin with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils Qing Lin. It's inevitable that he'll win over Queen Medusa in the future, and then the entire Snake People Clan will become Xiao Ning's vassals.

She would then try to get ahead of Xiao Ning breaking one of his arms first, and then try to lure Medusa's Snake People Clan away.

The Tagor Desert, Snake People Clan.

Since Queen Medusa failed to evolve and disappeared, the Snake People Clan have been leaderless and have fallen into a situation of internal and external troubles.

The elders of the Snake People Clan also made dire plans. If Her Majesty the Queen did not return, they would have no choice but to elect a new Queen to take charge.

After several days of discussion, the reformist elders finally defeated the conservative elders and elected Yue Mei, the leader of the Snake People Clan, as the new Queen Medusa.

But what kind of low-level cultivation realm is Yue Mei? She's merely a Dou Wang, so how can she command respect, let alone lead the entire Snake People Clan?

An elder suggested that Yue Mei could be taken to the Snake People Clan's secret territory, where there is a blood pool that can strengthen bloodlines. If Yue Mei can really withstand it, the energy in the blood pool will stimulate her ancestral Sky Swallowing Python bloodline, and her cultivation will surely reach a new level, making her a new Medusa.

"I'm willing to give it a try," Yue Mei said solemnly as she stood in the Elder Council, indicating her willingness to give it a shot.

The Snake People Clan's secret territory is located in the center of the Elder Council, and has been guarded by the Snake People Clan's elders for generations, keeping it extremely secret.

Led by the elders, Yue Mei arrived at the secluded depths of the bamboo forest. Then, a group of snake spirits twisted their bodies and sped away, finally reaching the blood pool at the very center.

The central blood pool was a full hundred meters wide, and on the left and right sides were placed weapons used by successive Queen Medusa, as well as various powerful equipment.

Instead of jumping into the blood pool immediately, Yue Mei first wandered around the area.

She picked up a longsword and glanced at it, then picked up a bow and arrow and fiddled with it for a while, feeling utterly bored. Just as she was about to jump into the blood pool, a massive earthquake suddenly struck the entire Snake People Clan.

The earth trembled continuously, causing some of the Snake-People in the city to roll around on the ground. The cracks in the ground continued to widen, houses collapsed, and the city walls crumbled.

The earth's tectonic plates rose rapidly, forming an island-like structure in the vast Tagor Desert.

Meanwhile, deep beneath the desert earth, large amounts of seawater continuously surged forth. The seawater gradually increased, turning from streams into lakes, from lakes into rivers, and finally forming a vast ocean on the desert.

The massive seawater flooded the surrounding towns, forcing residents to flee towards the Jia Ma Empire, the Mu Lan Empire, and the Yan Luo Empire.

A powerful beam of energy erupted from the depths of the Snake People Clan's secret land, shooting straight into the sky.

"What exactly is going on?"

The elders were also at a loss, and only after the huge pillar of energy disappeared did they dare to cautiously approach and investigate.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is astonishing: the place that had just emitted energy actually contained a huge pit a hundred meters wide, and inside the pit were countless ancient stone slabs.

Yue Mei and the elders flew down into the pit and carefully examined the stone slabs in front of them. Finally, they focused their attention on a five-meter-high stone slab.

This stone slab looks extremely ancient, and it is carved with a peerless beauty. This beauty is noble and aloof, with two human legs, stepping on a flower snake, and wearing a Hime hairstyle, like an unparalleled Empress.

Yue Mei and the Snake-People elders looked at the words carved on the stone slab, and a look of horror appeared on their faces.

"This is actually... our ancestor as Snake-People, the Pirate Empress of Nine Snake Island, Boa Hancock!"
