Summon! Cloud Mist Sect's Founding Ancestor, Yun Potian!

Queen Medusa asked with a hint of shock, "How did you know?"

"You don't need to know how I know. I can tell you now that if you use that method, you will be taking a massive risk," Xiao Yan said with a calm smile.

Medusa flicked her sleeve and replied, "For the sake of my tribe, I can bear any such risk."

"Why bother? If I told you I have a better way, I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to give it a try?"

Medusa's eyelids twitched visibly, and Xiao Yan knew he had piqued her interest.

"Tell me what method you intend to use first. Otherwise, I cannot easily trust you."

Medusa maintained her proud, haughty demeanor.

Xiao Yan extended his hand, and a cluster of pale yellow flames appeared in his palm. Upon seeing these flames, Queen Medusa felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Logically, the Snake-People were of a Yin nature and should have been the most repulsed by Heavenly Flames, those miraculous wonders of the world.

"What Heavenly Flame is this?"

Xiao Yan knew Queen Medusa wouldn't refuse him, so he said, "This is the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, known as the Heavenly Flame of magical beasts! I believe it is the most suitable choice to stimulate the ancient bloodline within Your Majesty."

The yellow firelight shone upon Queen Medusa, and the tiny scars on her skin began to heal on their own.

"It is indeed the legendary Myriad Beast Spirit Fire; it truly lives up to its reputation. Very well, state your conditions," Queen Medusa sighed, finally agreeing.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, this evolutionary process may be quite slow. After all, I must use the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire to gently awaken your bloodline."

Medusa nodded.

Time was of no concern to her; she simply had to take that step into the Dou Zong realm.

"Furthermore, no one must disturb us during this period. After all, if I am to refine your body with a Heavenly Flame, Your Majesty's clothing will have to be removed."

Hearing this, Medusa clearly fell into hesitation. Although she was reluctant, such an opportunity was truly rare.

Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Yan did not rush her. He simply reminded her, "Your Majesty may take your time to consider. If you are unwilling, the three of us will depart immediately."

Medusa gritted her teeth and said, "What are your conditions? State them first!"

"I have no excessive demands. I will simply need Your Majesty to help me with a few things in the future. As for when or what those things might be, I can only tell Your Majesty later," Xiao Yan replied.

Medusa had no choice but to agree, and she issued an order to the leaders of the major Snake-People tribes.

"I am going into seclusion for a period of time. During this time, no one is to disturb me. From now on, Xiao Yan is an ally of the Snake-People Empire and a friend to our people!"

Her voice, carrying immense penetrating power, echoed throughout the entire Snake-People Empire.

Xiao Yan also told Hai Bodong and White Fang to wait outside in peace.

The long road of evolution began, and Xiao Yan used the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire to slowly nourish Medusa's meridians.

He urged her to continuously awaken the bloodline within her, eventually transforming her true form into the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python.

A month later.

A massive burst of energy erupted, centered on the Snake-People temple and spreading outward.

The terrifying energy wave did not dissipate until it reached the borders of the Jia Ma Empire.

Hua She'er looked toward the temple in excitement and said joyfully, "Your Majesty has broken through! My Snake-People tribe finally has a supreme expert!"

Within the imperial palace of the Jia Ma Empire.

A very elderly figure sat upright in a chair, listening to a subordinate report on the state of the empire.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

"This is the aura of a breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm, and the direction is from the Snake-People! Could Queen Medusa have broken through to the Dou Zong realm?" Jia Xingtian said with a melancholy expression, looking as if he had aged even further in an instant.

He threw the book in his hand to the ground and shouted, "Investigate! You must find out the source of this energy fluctuation!"

Inside Medusa's bedchamber, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there was no need to cause such a commotion just from breaking through. You've made it so that people thousands of miles away know about it."

Medusa sneered, "I want those old fossils to know of the rise of my Snake-People!"

Xiao Yan shook his head; there was no need to argue over this point.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for befriending a Dou Zong expert. Reward: one Low-level Summoning Talisman, 1000 Summoning Points, and the Xuan-tier high-level Dou Technique: Heaven Collapsing Technique."

Xiao Yan glanced at the panel. He had been out for quite a long time now, and the Canaan Academy enrollment was only two months away.

It was time to head back.

"Your Majesty, since I have already helped you achieve your goal, it is time for me to take my leave," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

However, Queen Medusa merely nodded indifferently; her attitude toward Xiao Yan had not improved much.

Xiao Yan did not say anything more. He went outside, took Hai Bodong and White Fang with him, and departed.

Xiao Yan planned to return to the Desert Iron Mercenary Group first, then make his way to Black Rock City to test his alchemist rank.

In any case, he had enough Summoning Points now; he could simply use them to buy his way into becoming an alchemist.

To be honest, Xiao Yan felt quite ashamed. Up until now, he could only refine first-grade medicinal pills and had never succeeded with a second-grade one.

The main reason was that Xiao Yan had not been cultivating properly; he always wanted to buy levels directly from the system to save himself the trouble.

As soon as the trio flew out of the Snake-People Empire's territory, Xiao Yan looked at the five Low-level Summoning Talismans in his panel, and his heart began to itch.

The three of them stopped in their tracks, and White Fang asked with a laugh, "Boss, you aren't going to summon someone again, are you?"

Xiao Yan nodded. Hai Bodong was already unfazed by this behavior of his.

"System, synthesize an Intermediate Summoning Talisman for me!"

"Ding! Synthesis successful. Would you like to use it immediately?"

Xiao Yan said impatiently, "Use it, use it, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Congratulations to the Host for summoning the founder of the Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Potian (Youth Version). Strength: Three-star Dou Wang."

As soon as the system finished speaking, a young man with a cyan longsword strapped to his back and sharp, star-like brows appeared. He looked to be only in his twenties.

Xiao Yan was stunned on the spot. What the hell?

Yun Potian!

This system could even summon across time!
