"What level of creature is this? It requires Dao Pill to heal its wounds? Perhaps it's not an ordinary snake..."
"Judging from its aura, there is also a very subtle sense of emptiness and boundlessness..."
Xie Feng frowned, deep in thought.
The gray snake lay motionless on the ground, silently experiencing the healing power of the elixir.
"This snake has a very subtle cosmic aura, unlike a being from the Origin Realm!" Kong Qiusu's voice drifted over.
Xie Feng raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at the gray snake.
Nothing special...
The presentation was even somewhat ugly...
In the Origin Realm, things like it are everywhere.
If it weren't for the senior brother's terrifying perception, no one would have thought that this thing was anything special!
"Your judgment is good. I am indeed not a being from the Origin Realm; I come from the universe."
The gray snake rolled its eyes and began to speak human language.
Its voice was deep and calm, with a hint of inexplicable pressure.
Xie Feng asked, "How did you get injured?"
Gray Serpent said, "War!"
Xie Feng sighed softly and fell silent for a moment.
The gray snake slowly wriggled, coiling itself like a mosquito coil, then comfortably rested its head on its coiled body before finally gazing at Xie Feng.
It suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "You are Chaos Physique?!"
Xie Feng said, "I know the Chaos Physique is very strong, but is that surprising?"
The gray snake asked, "What's your name?"
Xie Feng said, " Xie Feng."
" Xie Feng!!" Gray Snake's voice suddenly rose, then he muttered, "Never heard of him..."
Xie Feng: "..."
Why are you so agitated if you've never heard of it?
It got him all excited, making him think he was some hidden gem!
Don't make a fuss over nothing!
"That's strange. Your surname is Xie, but I've never heard of your given name before. That doesn't make sense. Could it be...?"
For some unknown reason, the gray snake gasped and stared straight at Xie Feng. Even though it was a snake, Xie Feng could see the shock on its face!
A snake, in shock!
The gray snake solemnly warned, "Your physique is incredibly powerful, absolutely incredible. From now on, you must be careful to conceal this Chaos Physique! Be extremely careful!"
Xie Feng frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Why are you saying all this?"
"I... I... Ouch, my wound hurts! Ouch..."
The gray snake's eyes darted around, then it suddenly collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain, its eyes still darting to see Xie Feng's reaction.
It's obviously an act!
Xie Feng: "..."
Little Sword said, "What a despicable creature, I want to stab it to death..."
" The Extreme Dao Sword?" The gray snake stopped rolling, half-straightening its body, staring at Xie Feng's Dantian. "You actually possess an Extreme Dao Sword within you, and... a powerful soul!"
Upon noticing Kong Qiusu, Gray Snake's expression changed!
It quietly took two steps back!
Kong Qiusu said casually, "Why are you nervous? I wasn't nervous at all when you approached my junior brother."
The gray snake chuckled sheepishly, "You actually saw right through me."
Xie Feng frowned, his gaze sharp as he stared at him. "You deliberately approached me?"
Gray Snake nodded. "Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because, therefore, that's the scientific principle!"
"..."
Xie Feng clenched his fist tightly, really wanting to hit it.
Seeing that things were going badly, the gray snake immediately said, "Don't worry, I'm a good person, I won't harm you!"
Xie Feng said, "The way to prove you're a good person is to tell me your background and purpose!"
Gray Snake shook his head. "No!"
Xie Feng coldly replied, "This is the Origin Realm, my home turf."
The gray snake cried out, "You're taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"
Xie Feng smiled, "I've never taken advantage of someone in their vulnerable state before, but I can try it today!"
Gray Snake: "..."
After a brief silence, the gray snake said, "Actually, if I want to leave, no one can stop me, not even... the soul within you!"
Kong Qiusu said, "I will be unharmed, while you will escape with only a breath left. Is it really that hard to keep you here?"
Gray Snake: "..."
hateful!
Why are you speaking such blunt truths!
Why not let it show off like that?!
It had investigated Kong Qiusu's strength, and it was astonishing! To the point that it was shocked!
And this!
Even in the case of a soul!
Having a physical body would be a truly unimaginable terror!
The gray snake asked, "Who are you?"
Kong Qiusu said, "It's better if you don't know my name."
The gray snake stubbornly insisted, "Asking the name of a strong person is the only way to show respect!"
" Kong Qiusu."
"Okay, I understand!"
The gray snake nodded slightly, then suddenly crawled in front of Kong Qiusu, straightened up, and whispered a few words into Kong Qiusu's ear.
Kong Qiusu smiled faintly and said, "Okay!"
Xie Feng and Little Sword looked puzzled, but it was someone else's secret, and since their senior brother wasn't going to tell them, they didn't intend to ask either.
I have to go!
As the gray snake spoke, a burst of black light surged forth, and a moment later, it transformed into a pale-faced, composed young man in gray robes.
The young man took out a scroll and handed it to Xie Feng, saying, "Thank you for saving me. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!"
Xie Feng accepted it without hesitation and asked, "What's your name?"
" Little Nine!"
The young man said in a deep voice, then waved goodbye, and a cold black light surged out, his figure disappearing into it.
" Little Nine..."
Xie Feng lowered his head and repeated in a low voice.
Little Sword said, "This name is just something he made up without thinking. This guy is definitely lying to you!"
Kong Qiusu said, "He reacted strongly to your surname. Could it be that he knows you?"
Xie Feng shook his head, "I'm just someone who came from a lowly Lower Realm; I've never seen him before..."
Kong Qiusu said, "Junior brother, do you know what he just said to me?"
Xie Feng shook his head. "I don't know!"
Kong Qiusu said, "He said he would help me find a physical body!"
Xie Feng said, "Its home turf is the universe; perhaps there's a chance we can find it!"
Kong Qiusu said softly, "I hope so..."
"Stop chatting, hurry up and open it, see what good stuff he gave us?"
Little Sword, eager to get to the scroll, said...
Xie Feng opened the crimson and black scroll, from which a parchment fell out. He unfolded it, and it was a map!
The route above is densely packed, but there are very few markings, except for a prominent red dot in the center with a few small words written on it.
" The Emperor Corpse Tomb!"
Xie Feng stared at the black label.
Little Sword immediately exclaimed, "Wow! I'm rich! Just from the name, it sounds like an ancient treasure! Ahhh!"
Xie Feng frowned. "Don't get excited. There are only these three words on it, no other information. How can we find it without knowing its location?"
Kong Qiusu said, "Let me see."
Xie Feng's mind stirred, and the scroll transformed into a beam of light, flying into his Dantian.
"While obtaining the map is exciting, our immediate priority is to return to the Xuanji Sect. Senior Brother, this map is now yours to study."
With his senior brother, a powerful figure, in charge, Xie Feng was happy to be a hands-off manager, focusing solely on resolving his own affairs.
