Spiritual Python Transformation (Please Bookmark and Vote)

In his dazed confusion,

Su Qingqiu seemed to see a Heaven-Piercing Great Serpent falling from the sky.

Its Serpent Blood pierced through the earth, its Serpent Bone plunging deep within—reaching up into the Azure Heavens and down into the Nine Underworlds.

After the seas became mulberry fields, a colossal abyss took shape. Someone built a temple here, and only then did Dragon-Raising Temple come into being.

In his trance, his Spiritual Light scattered outward and came into contact with the great serpent's bone.

The next moment,

Countless pieces of information about Spiritual Serpents surfaced in his mind.

Fire Python, Water Python, Sky-Devouring Python...

He even sensed the faint aura of that dead Great Green Snake.

Not only that, as his Spiritual Light spilled out, he saw the Pure Spiritual Qi filling heaven and earth, as well as the chaotic, malevolent Five Turbid Qi.

His Spiritual Light actually felt a faint urge to merge into it.

Spiritual Serpent Transforms into Python!

So... had I already completed my evolution?

As realization dawned on him, Su Qingqiu's mind jolted, and all of his Spiritual Light withdrew at once.

The next second,

Rumble!

It was like an Earth Dragon Turns Over.

Su Qingqiu merely shifted his body slightly, yet the entire cave trembled.

He felt his body wedged tightly between the surrounding rock walls, unable to move.

Opening his enormous Serpent Eyes, he saw a huge crimson-gold python.

The python was a full eight or nine meters long, golden all over, but a slender crimson line ran down the center of its back from its head all the way to its tail.

Its head was an inverted triangle, incomparably imposing. Every inch of its scales bore a complex yet complete pattern. Upon closer inspection, Spiritual Light could faintly be sensed hidden within.

"What a huge snake!"

Su Qingqiu took a deep breath. His tail swept idly once, and the rocks throughout the Serpent's Nest again let out explosive cracks as though they could no longer bear the strain.

Mm, bigger was justice, thicker was truth.

Big and thick—that was the kingly way.

Su Qingqiu could feel explosive energy contained within every inch of his skin. His flesh, blood, tendons, and bones had been compressed to the limit, condensing untold strength within his nearly ten-meter-long serpentine body.

Incredible.

It was as though he had been cast from reinforced steel.

Those were secondary. The main point was that the moment Su Qingqiu transformed from a Spiritual Serpent into a python, he had formed his own unique, complete Spiritual Patterns.

So-called Spiritual Patterns formed when, after a Spiritual Serpent transformed into a python, Spiritual Light gradually gathered within its body. Once it reached a certain level, it would turn into patterns possessing extraordinary power according to the Spiritual Python's own traits.

These patterns grew within every inch of flesh and blood, appearing most prominently upon the Spiritual Python's scales.

Su Qingqiu's Spiritual Patterns leaned toward defense, hardness, and heaviness. Thus, his scales possessed astonishing defensive power. They could not only withstand physical attacks, but also defend against the erosion and contamination of evil.

That was why his Physical Defense was nearly twice his Physical Attributes.

His overall combat assessment had even reached more than four times what it had been before!

He was so strong it made a snake's scalp tingle.

"It's just... why are my Spiritual Patterns all defensive in nature? They say Spiritual Patterns form extraordinary power according to the Spiritual Python itself. I'm not cowardly and cautious either!"

Su Qingqiu curled his lip, absolutely refusing to admit that he was both timid and overly cautious!

"When I transformed into a python, the spilled Spiritual Light touched that Dragon Bone. According to the information I received, every Spiritual Python's Spiritual Patterns would automatically transform the Pure Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and during that process, some of the Spiritual Light would scatter away."

Su Qingqiu looked at his own Spiritual Light. It seemed none of it had scattered; it had all been used by the Vajra Sutra to temper his flesh.

What a miser—he wouldn't even spare a hair!

"And when Spiritual Light scatters, not only is there a risk of transforming into the Dao and being easily drowned by the Pure Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, it also makes it easiest for evil to seize the chance to invade."

"So the Monks of Dragon-Raising Temple communicate with Spiritual Pythons through that Dragon Bone, using human bodies to absorb Spiritual Light and transform it into Daoism Cultivation and Dharma power. They also use human spirits and souls as Spiritual Light anchors for the Spiritual Pythons, preventing the risk of the Spiritual Pythons transforming into the Dao."

"Mm... it's like anchoring something in place. This cultivation method is rather ingenious. Not only can it perfectly use a Spiritual Python's Spiritual Light to accelerate cultivation, it can also prevent the Spiritual Python from transforming into the Dao and dying..."

"Though it differs from the Immortality Cultivators in my memories, it has the same marvelous effect by a different route. The cultivators of this world have truly carved out a different path."

"Unfortunately, it's useless to me."

Su Qingqiu curled his lip.

After waiting a while longer and fully adapting to his suddenly enlarged body and strength, he violently smashed open the Serpent's Nest where he had lived for half a year. Without looking back, he slithered toward the Central Area.

It was just a shabby little nest. What was there to miss? From now on, the Dragon Bone in the center would be his territory.

The closer he came to the Central Area where the Dragon Bone was located, the denser the Evil Qi became. Eventually, it grew so dense it seemed almost tangible.

Clump after clump of it coiled through the Central Area, looking exceptionally creepy.

The environment here was also bizarre and terrifying. The various Evil Remains not only broadened Su Qingqiu's horizons, but also whetted his appetite.

There were red shoes dripping with blood.

Headless zombies.

And books that turned their own pages.

But there were even more all kinds of evil corpses—some from animals, some from humans, and some from Spiritual Serpents.

Mm... I'm getting a little hungry.

Most Evil Remains gave off dense Evil Qi. Occasionally, Spiritual Serpents darted among them, using Spiritual Light to suppress and refine those remains.

Unable to resist his craving, Su Qingqiu ate a piece of Evil Remains that a Spiritual Serpent had been about to refine. Under that Spiritual Serpent's furious yet silent gaze, he drifted onward with great satisfaction.

When it came to dealing with Evil Remains, he would charge forward without hesitation.

No need to thank him!

Only upon reaching the vicinity of the Central Area did Su Qingqiu truly understand just how thick and huge he was!

Looking around, the large snakes in the Central Area were generally only four or five meters long. Even the occasional outstanding ones were merely seven or eight meters.

And even pythons approaching ten meters looked far slimmer than Su Qingqiu.

At the very least, they did not look like him—like an elongated golden gasoline barrel from a distance.

Most Spiritual Serpents froze for a moment when they saw Su Qingqiu appear out of nowhere. Then they lowered their heads and pressed tightly against the ground, not daring to move in the slightest.

"Tch!"

"How boring!"

Su Qingqiu had originally thought he would have to establish his dominance, but it seemed the animal world was far simpler than the human world.

Even a race like the Spiritual Serpents, which already possessed a measure of intelligence, still followed the law that the strong ruled supreme.

There were not so many twists and turns.

His massive body and the dense, complete Spiritual Patterns covering every scale proclaimed one truth:

Don't mess with me. I'm so strong that even I'm afraid of myself!

"Looks like not every python has complete Spiritual Patterns... As expected, enduring five limits before transforming into a Spiritual Python was the right choice. It made me the king among Spiritual Pythons from the very start!"

"The current me is far beyond what that Great Green Snake from before could compare to."

"I've arrived—the final core region where the Dragon Bone lies. It's also the entrance to the Second Layer Serpent Pit Abyss."

Su Qingqiu gazed at the enormous Dragon Bone close at hand, shrouded by countless strands of Evil Qi, and quietly raised his guard.

He had not forgotten that the Great Green Snake, nearly ten meters long, had definitely fled from here after being defeated.

And only something far longer than ten meters could possibly defeat a Spiritual Python like that Great Green Snake.

Therefore, there had to be one—or several—even stronger Spiritual Pythons within the Dragon Bone's core region!
