Ancient Teng Snake (Favorites~Recommendation Tickets~Comments~Investment~)

"Eh? You took a liking to this one?" Hua She Er, who had been watching Mo Yun all along, saw him stop and came over. She soon discovered the Dou Skill he was browsing.

"Is there something wrong with this one?" Mo Yun asked casually.

Hua She Er shook her head. "This one is actually quite suitable for your current stage. At the Dou Master level, a Profound Rank High-Level Dou Skill is already quite formidable. Compared to an Earth Rank Low-Level one, you'll master it much faster. You should be able to learn it within a few months, and your combat strength will increase greatly!"

"Moreover, its potential ranks near the top among Profound Rank High-Level Dou Skills. Depending on the amount of Dou Qi you possess, it can create multiple Dou Qi energy snakes to attack. The stronger you are, the more snake phantoms you can conjure. One punch can equal several punches from others. Third Elder cultivated this Dou Skill. During the last war with the Jia Ma Empire, he used this technique to conjure nearly a hundred energy snakes with a single strike, instantly killing a Dou Wang expert from the Yun Lan Sect!"

"I wanted to recommend this to you before, but you said you wanted something violent like Mo Bas, a strength-type Dou Skill, so I didn't mention it. I didn't expect you to pick it out yourself!"

"Then I'll take this one." After Hua She Er's introduction, Mo Yun made his decision. He immediately took the Teng Snake Cultivation Method and Division, then left the hall with Hua She Er.

Hua She Er could tell that Mo Yun was currently curious about cultivation methods and Dou Skills, so she did not take him around the other parts of the Snake-People Tribe. Instead, she brought him directly to the residence arranged for him.

Once he returned to his room, Mo Yun habitually locked the door before taking out the cultivation method and Dou Skill he had chosen.

First was the cultivation method.

Mo Yun opened the ancient Teng Snake tome. Rather than rushing to cultivate, he muttered strangely to himself, "Come out!"

The moment his words fell, wisps of eerie black mist rose from the yellowed pages of the ancient book before him. The black mist gathered together, forming a massive pitch-black mist python. Its blood-red snake eyes stared fixedly at Mo Yun.

"Human... Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils..."

The black mist snake phantom seemed somewhat dazed. It shook its head before its speech became clearer. "The owner of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils... This King has waited for you for so long!"

Mo Yun could not sense even the slightest fluctuation of Dou Qi from the black mist snake phantom, and he immediately grew bolder. "You're a Soaring Serpent?"

"This King is the remaining aura of the patriarch of the Teng Snake Clan, the foremost subordinate of the Ancient Sky Snake. It is attached to this book. Only the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils can awaken This King."

"Young one, do you wish to cultivate my clan's cultivation method?" the Black Mist Teng Snake asked.

Mo Yun immediately replied, "Obviously! Why else would I take it? To keep you as a pet?"

The Black Mist Teng Snake: "?!"

"Young one, you dare speak to This King in such a manner..."

"Enough, give it a rest already! You know I have the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. I saw through your condition long ago, so you can't scare me!" Mo Yun waved his hand impatiently.

"What exactly do you want me to do? Just say it! If it's easy, I'll do it. If not, I'll put you back!"

The Black Mist Teng Snake: "?! Revive This King, and This King shall impart the Teng Snake Cultivation Method to you!"

"Revive you? The plot is surprisingly similar..." Mo Yun murmured. "Don't tell me I need a Heavenly Flame too?"

The Black Mist Teng Snake said, "What the hell does that have to do with a Heavenly Flame? You only need to cultivate your Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to their peak state, then find This King's corpse and repair This King's incomplete soul. Then This King can shed its skin and be reborn!"

"Let me ask first. That corpse of yours... how strong were you when you were alive?" Mo Yun suddenly became interested and pressed for details.

"This King was the foremost subordinate general under the Ancient Sky Snake. My strength had reached the Tenth Order Peak. In terms of your human realms, I was equivalent to a peak Dou Di!" the Black Mist Teng Snake said.

"Hiss..." Upon hearing that, Mo Yun could not help fantasizing. If he looted a Soaring Serpent corpse, wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Where is your corpse?" Mo Yun asked eagerly.

After thinking for a moment, the Black Mist Teng Snake said, "Back then, the Phoenix Clan was despicable. They ambushed and surrounded This King. This King perished alongside a group of Phoenix Clan scum in the Heavenly Revelation Mountain Range. It has been far too long since then. The Heavenly Revelation Mountain Range collapsed because of that battle and has likely changed beyond recognition."

"Then where am I supposed to find it?"

The Black Mist Teng Snake continued, "After you cultivate the Teng Snake Clan's cultivation method, you will naturally be able to sense This King's corpse!"

"I see..." The instant he agreed, Mo Yun seemed to realize something he had overlooked. "You said Phoenix Clan members died with you? Sky Demon Phoenixes?"

"Bullshit! Are those mongrel birds, the Sky Demon Phoenixes, worthy of being called the Phoenix Clan? How could they have been a match for This King? The ones who surrounded and killed This King were the Ancient Sky Phoenix Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yun suddenly felt hopeful. If this fellow truly possessed the strength of a peak Dou Di, and those who exchanged their lives for his were not much weaker than peak Dou Di, then if this looting expedition succeeded, wouldn't he soar to the heavens?

Still not satisfied, Mo Yun asked, "Were there any other races? Like the Ancient Sky Snake or something?"

"If Lord Ancient Sky Snake had been there, how could This King have been harmed so badly by those Phoenix Clan scum? At the moment of my death, This King left behind multiple marks scattered across the land. So long as the owner of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils assists from the side, This King can be revived!"

The Taixu Ancient Dragon, Ancient Sky Phoenix, and Ancient Sky Snake were the three ancestral beings of the beast races. Their strength and bloodline ranks naturally needed no explanation. For transplantation, these three were ceiling-level targets. Thus, Mo Yun could not help feeling somewhat disappointed upon learning that no Ancient Sky Snake was present. Fortunately, there were still Ancient Sky Phoenixes!

"Deal!"

Seeing this, the Black Mist Teng Snake's tone eased considerably. "This King's remaining aura will not last much longer. I fear I can only guide you through the cultivation process once. The rest will depend on you!"

As it spoke, the Black Mist Teng Snake moved its body. Then, as if swallowing clouds and exhaling mist, it shot a faint glow from its mouth, striking Mo Yun's forehead.

A massive amount of information surged into Mo Yun's mind. It was precisely the Ancient Teng Snake Cultivation Method.

"The Ancient Teng Snake Cultivation Method consists of four parts: absorption, breathing, refinement, and snake shedding. Each cultivation session must pass through these four steps. Only after all four steps are completed does one cycle end. Its cultivation speed is comparable to a Heaven Rank Middle-Level Cultivation Method."
