Special Homeland

PS: Thank you all for reading. I don't know what to say anymore. I really couldn't have made it this far without you. We're fourth on the Xianxia New Book List!

297 years before Zhaoyang, third month, fifth day.

The Insects Awakening arrived with Blood Rain.

What should have been a sweet, life-giving dew turned into a bloody omen.

Over half of the Dragon-Raising Temple was killed or wounded. Three Arhats, one Bodhisattva, and countless mid-grade Monks fell in the Blood Rain.

The Dragon-Raising Temple was drenched in blood. From its once high and mighty position, looking down upon the entire Great Wasteland, it collapsed overnight.

Some said that the Dragon-Raising Temple had raised a True Dragon, committing an act against the heavens, and was thus punished.

Others said that a powerful Demon Lord was born in the Dragon-Raising Temple, and this was a battle between immortals and demons.

Still others said that the Bodhisattva in the Dragon-Raising Temple wanted to advance to the legendary Buddha, and was envied by the heavens.

Su Qingqiu wasn't sure what exactly happened three hundred years ago.

However, now that he was in this Evil Remains called the Blood Nest, he saw a different perspective.

Before the Insects Awakening in 297, the Snake Abyss suddenly trembled non-stop. Countless Demons and evil creatures, along with various bizarre remains, swarmed out of the depths of the Snake Abyss, affecting the upper layers.

No one knew what was happening. In any case, the Monks who were training there suffered heavy losses. Even Puzhi, the Holy Monk who was famous for exterminating the Bull Demon, fell here.

Afterward, the three Arhats and the supreme Bodhisattva entered the depths of the Snake Abyss to find out what was going on. After ten days, they returned looking disheveled and bewildered.

What exactly happened was never recorded.

Then, the Blood Rain incident occurred. On the night the three Arhats returned, they died, went mad, or were crippled.

The Bodhisattva completely sealed off the Snake Abyss, established a series of unreasonable rules, and then left the Dragon-Raising Temple, never to return.

But...

"Why are these records in the Blood Nest?"

"I didn't expect that there were so many stories before the Dragon-Raising Temple was drenched in blood... What did the Arhats and Bodhisattva discover in the deeper levels of the Snake Abyss?"

Su Qingqiu was full of questions.

But at this moment, as the memory information finished transmitting, the eagerly awaited reward arrived.

He couldn't think too much about it.

Reward: Cloud and Mist Companion

Riding the Clouds and Mist prerequisite spell. Integrate into Spirit Veins to passively absorb Cloud and Mist, reducing weight. With practice, one can ascend to the heavens and plunge into the earth, becoming ethereal, with ease.

The Spirit Veins around his body began to glow, as if an invisible pen was tracing patterns on his scales.

The Spirit Veins became more complex, and a faint mist involuntarily condensed around him, forming a thin layer around his scales.

Riding the Clouds and Mist!

The flying technique he had been longing for.

"Wonderful!"

Su Qingqiu was overjoyed.

With a thought, the Cloud and Mist around him quickly gathered under his abdomen, like a ball of cotton, and gently lifted him up.

Increasing the Spiritual Light, the mist became denser and larger, and his body involuntarily flew higher, soon reaching the top of the cave.

He floated in the air, playing excitedly for a while, before finally landing contentedly.

Dispelling the Spiritual Light, the dense fog turned into a light mist, floating around his scales again.

Coming and going at will.

A horn on his head, a Dragon Ridge on his back, and Cloud and Mist Companion.

He was becoming more and more dragon-like.

If someone saw Su Qingqiu now, no one would dare to say he wasn't a young dragon.

In addition, there were some Daoism Cultivation rewards, and some miscellaneous pills, which he didn't mention.

"This Blood Nest seems to have been nurturing a Demon before, but that Demon has already left the Blood Nest. I only devoured an empty nest."

"The memories I obtained earlier were probably left by that Demon..."

"And this dressing mirror..."

Su Qingqiu opened his mouth and spat out a dressing mirror. After leaving the Blood Nest, the mirror no longer had its previous eerie state.

It was like an ordinary mirror.

But Su Qingqiu knew that this mirror was unbreakable and indestructible, and had its own magical properties.

So, after studying it for a while without any results, he swallowed it again and stored it in his personal space.

As he grew stronger, the Bashe Swallowing Elephant ability had grown several times over. The size of his personal space was now a full ten cubic meters.

Enough for his use.

The Blood Nest was devoured, and this node of the Spirit Ruins was completely purified.

The surrounding blood color gradually receded.

Su Qingqiu approached the Spirit Ruins again, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

The Protecting the Residence innate ability was activated. After a burst of hazy Spiritual Light flashed, Su Qingqiu blinked, and actually felt quite intimate with the Spirit Ruins in front of him.

Protecting the Residence

Current Type: Guardian Python

Current Home: Dragon-Raising Temple, Snake Abyss Floor 1, Snake Abyss Floor 2

Special Home: Blood Spirit Ruins

Blood Spirit Ruins: Training here allows you to absorb the remaining Spiritual Light will of the Si Snake, accelerating the arrival of the next shedding period and accelerating evolutionary growth.

Next shedding period?

Accelerated growth and evolution?

Training in this special home has such amazing effects?

Immediately, Su Qingqiu decided to stay here for eighty to one hundred years, never coming out until the end of time.

Next up was training.

Taking advantage of the ample energy within him from successively devouring the Great Asura Lord and the Blood Nest, Su Qingqiu activated berserk mode.

Spiritual Light tempered his body, and the Vajra Sutra was continuously activated.

Muscles, internal organs, bones, each layer independent, each link interlocking, were tempered over and over again until they were perfectly integrated, and divine power was born.

With continuous training, as his defense rapidly increased, his body also became resistant to heat and cold, and immune to all poisons. Below the sixth grade, all kinds of spells had difficulty entering his body.

His five senses were also greatly enhanced. He could discern every move within ten thousand meters of the snake cave, even without Spiritual Light. With the cooperation of Spiritual Light scanning, he was even more powerful.

A living, breathing little radar.

His internal organs were also both flexible and hard, indestructible. Especially his stamina, which increased the most significantly. He could basically go without rest for ten days or half a month without any problems.

This laid a good foundation for Su Qingqiu's future continuous high-intensity combat. One snake becoming an army, encircling and suppressing thousands of Evil Remains, was no longer a dream.

Day after day of training allowed the mysterious substance contained in his Crimson Fire Dragon Spine to gradually spread to his entire skeleton.

Su Qingqiu's Serpent Bone began to show signs of crystallization, especially his skull. If you were to crack open the bones and look, you would find that the bones seemed to be coated with a thick layer of spirit crystals.

Under the scan of Spiritual Light, it shone brightly, like a legendary immortal bone.

Immortal Skin and Jade Bone!

Just like that, Time flew by, and two months passed in a flash.

In the past few days, Su Qingqiu only felt itchy all over, his soul felt dizzy, and his whole body felt like ten thousand ants were gnawing at his heart, an indescribable tingling sensation.

Only then did he stop his frantic training. He suddenly realized that, without realizing it, he had absorbed all the Spiritual Light will of the Si Snake within the Spirit Ruins, and had reached the point of shedding his skin again.

The second shedding to become a Spiritual Python, finally...

Arrived late.
