Peerless Constitution

"BOOM!"

A thunderous roar shook the sky. Yun Shan and Yun Yun both looked toward the distant horizon, where the strange phenomenon was occurring—the location was none other than the former site of the Misty Cloud Sect.

This only solidified Yun Shan's inner resolve. Although Yun Yun was his disciple, that relationship was very easy to cast aside. Right now, having a Dou Sheng powerhouse residing in the Jia Ma Empire was a supreme opportunity. The things such a powerhouse might toss aside casually could benefit him infinitely. The Mite'er Family had been willing to throw Ya Fei out; as for Yun Yun by his side, she had both beauty and strength, and she would certainly be no worse than Ya Fei!

"Yun Yun, look at the heavenly phenomenon appearing in the distance. Do you not have any thoughts about it?" Yun Shan asked, beating around the bush.

"Thoughts? None at all. Qinglian Saint is a noble Dou Sheng; it is only natural that such a sight would occur. That day, with just a single thought, he was able to move all hundreds of disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect out without a single hair harmed. I still keep such methods in my heart to this day." Yun Yun bowed, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She felt that her master's words today were loaded with hidden meaning and were being spoken in circles.

"True, but seeing that your strength has reached the five-star Dou King level, soon I will have nothing left to teach you. In my view, talent is one thing, but for a cultivator, the most important thing is opportunity. The fact that a Dou Sheng powerhouse has descended upon the Jia Ma Empire is our great opportunity, and the Snake-People Tribe has already taken the lead. Therefore, I intend to..." Yun Shan paused here, carefully glancing at Yun Yun before making a resolute decision: "I intend to send you to the mountain gate to become a disciple of Qinglian Saint, only hoping that the Saint might bestow some opportunity upon you."

Her figure stiffened.

Yun Yun had never imagined it would come to this...

She had never thought about leaving the Misty Cloud Sect or changing her allegiance. For a moment, her pretty face was filled with confusion. She wanted to refuse, but deep down, she knew clearly that the reason her master had such an idea was inextricably linked to the people of the Snake-People Tribe.

The Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Tribe were at odds like fire and water. Among them, the Imperial Family and the Misty Cloud Sect were the loudest voices of opposition. Back then, to prevent the Snake-People Tribe from entering the cities, both sides, along with the powerhouses of various great families, had engaged in a long-standing battle with the Snake-People Tribe, which finally ended with the slaying of three Snake-People Dou King powerhouses.

It was no exaggeration to say that if the Snake-People were to gain power, the first to be targeted would likely be the members of the Imperial Family and the Misty Cloud Sect...

Seeing Yun Yun hesitate for a long time without saying a word, Yun Shan looked troubled and continued to persuade her earnestly: "I think you also understand that if the Snake-People Tribe were to..."

"Master, I understand. You do not need to say more. This disciple is willing..." Her pretty face was filled with determination and resolve. Yun Yun knew very well that while it was called becoming a disciple, it was ugly to say it was like selling oneself. Yet, her feelings for the Misty Cloud Sect forced her to accept it. After all, this was the place where she had lived since she was a child. If her sacrifice could secure the future of the Misty Cloud Sect, it would not be a bad solution.

Yun Shan paused. The grit and resolve displayed by his usually stubborn disciple were beyond his expectations. His eyes held a trace of hesitation, unsure if this move today was right or wrong, so he could only say: "Then go and pack your things... In two days, I... I will personally take you there." Yun Shan ultimately did not say the word "master." He loved Yun Yun dearly and believed she would surely be a good sect leader, but the appearance of Zhang Nian had broken the balance, and those who achieve great things must not be bound by trifles.

At this moment, Zhang Nian, who was waiting in the living room, also knew the situation on the mountain. He figured that Medusa had already consumed that Grade Nine medicinal pill, and now he was just waiting for the system to respond.

Countless people in the Jia Ma Empire stood still, craning their necks in anticipation. That wisp of white energy in the sky, carrying a holy and inviolable majesty, pierced through the thick clouds and slowly submerged into the barrier.

Inside the mountain gate, the white energy fell straight down, heading directly toward Medusa. When the white energy merged into the white energy shield, dazzling light flickered, and the room was instantly swallowed by the radiance.

And in Zhang Nian's ears, a pleasant notification sound rang out.

[Ding! Medusa has awakened the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline...]

[Current: Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python (Hidden: Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python)]

[Ding! Medusa's bloodline is evolving...]

[Ding! Successfully evolved into the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python...]

[Ding! Performing a thousand-fold return... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heavenly Derivation Saint Physique]

Following the electronic notification, a mass of cyan and white energy appeared out of thin air, wrapping Zhang Nian entirely within it. Not only that, but directly above the room, a ray of colorful light spilled down from the horizon.

"ROAR~"

"SCREECH~"

Immediately, a high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the mountain range, shaking the surroundings. A phantom of a giant cyan and white dragon in the sky rushed from within the barrier toward the clouds, coiling in the sky. Beside the giant dragon, a phoenix phantom circled and flew in unison. The two phantoms circled the colorful light, seemingly escorting something.

If Zhang Nian saw this scene, the four words he would likely blurt out would be: Dragon and Phoenix Bring Prosperity.

"This..."

As the sounds of the dragon and phoenix echoed, Jia Xingtian felt his mind tremble, and his entire body fell backward uncontrollably. He was not the only one with this feeling; in fact, all cultivators in the Imperial Capital were more or less affected by the dragon roar and phoenix cry. Some who were closer even bled from their seven orifices and collapsed to the ground.

"It's bad! The situation with the guardian beast is very abnormal!"

A guard ran over in a hurry, covering his ears with both hands, kneeling on the ground to report quickly.

"Don't rush, speak slowly." The feeling in his heart dissipated, but upon hearing the guard's report, he couldn't help but feel nervous. One had to know that the guardian beast of the Jia Ma Imperial Family was a Tier 6 magical beast.

After a moment of hesitation, the guard gathered his courage and said: "Lord Guardian Beast is prostrate on the ground, trembling all over, seemingly facing the direction of the old Misty Cloud Sect site..."

Jia Xingtian frowned deeply. Combined with the dragon roar from just a moment ago, he already had the answer in his heart...

The Imperial Family's guardian beast was the Tier 6 Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast. To make it act in such a manner, the true form of that dragon roar must have crushed it in both strength and bloodline...

As expected of a Dou Sheng powerhouse... the commotion created so casually could shake the entire Imperial Capital.

What was even more astonishing was what kind of object could make the legendary dragon and phoenix circle and escort it. The thought was terrifying...

However, the situation inside the barrier was relatively better. Perhaps due to Zhang Nian's protection, Ya Fei and the servants did not have too uncomfortable a reaction. On the contrary, little Zi Yan, looking at the sky, felt her bloodline involuntarily making her want to prostrate herself on the ground.

"ROAR~"

"SCREECH~"

Another dragon and phoenix chorus came. The seven-colored light, surrounded by the dragon and phoenix phantoms, carried a large mass of milky-white energy and flashed past, plunging straight into the house below. Zi Yan could no longer withstand the attraction within her bloodline and fell to her knees with a thud.

In the days that followed, all the major forces in the Jia Ma Empire learned of an even more terrifying fact: when the phenomenon erupted at Qinglian Saint's mountain gate, all the magical beasts within the Jia Ma Empire knelt in that direction for half a day. This inevitably led to speculation about what kind of existence the phantoms seen that day really were... and what kind of divine object the milky-white energy within the colorful light was...
