It's not impossible, considering that Calamity is, in itself, a calculation of the Heavenly Dao.
Hongjun represents the Heavenly Dao. Hongjun's absence signifies that the Heavenly Dao has yielded, and it seems that only oneself can make the Heavenly Dao yield.
In this great war, the entire western continent was wiped out. At the beginning of the war, Jieyin and Zhunti carried Spirit Mountain to the east without any intention of stopping them.
However, the Eastern Mainland was not affected in the slightest by this great battle. On the contrary, the power of the Heavenly Dao became stronger, completely Sealing the Primordial World Continent and isolating it from Chaos.
From then on, the Spiritual Qi of the Primordial World Continent declined steadily. According to Guanyin's prediction, in about two thousand years, there would be no Spiritual Qi left, and the continent would completely enter the Dharma-ending Age.
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the southern edge of the Mount Juehuang, hovering above a mountain village...
This mountain village is called Snake-Catching Village, and the entire village makes a living by catching snakes.
Every month, people come specifically to buy the snakes caught by the villagers, and the prices are extremely high.
This has been the case for decades.
But the other party only wants live snakes, not dead ones.
Due to extensive snake hunting, the number of snakes in the mountains has decreased Rapid Speed, forcing some villagers to risk their lives to venture deep into the Mount Juehuang.
At the easternmost end of the Snake-Catching Village, there is a slightly dilapidated mud house.
Inside the room, a boy was lying on the table, watching the Little White, which was still coiled up in a meditative state.
The boy's name was Xu Yan, and he grew up in this village.
His parents were snake catchers, but after venturing into the Mount Juehuang three years ago, they never came out again.
However, Xu Yan's condition was clearly not quite right at the moment.
"Is this the Lady White Snake? She's so small!" Xu Yan poked the Little White's head and murmured.
"The mission says I need to protect the Little White, but I don't have any cultivation at all right now. How can I protect it?"
"By the time those three cultivators realize what's happening, won't they be doomed?"
"No, we can't stay in this village. We don't know when the White Snake will wake up. If those three come looking for us, the mission will fail."
Xu Yan stood up, carefully lifted the White Snake and put it in his arms before walking out of the room. After hesitating for a moment in front of the door, he headed directly towards the Mount Juehuang.
Not long after Xu Yan left, three cultivators with gloomy faces arrived. Finding the room empty, the man with the Straight Moustache kicked the door to pieces, roaring, "Don't let me catch that brat, or I'll skin him alive and teach him a lesson!"
The man with the goatee said, "He must have left not long ago. The only place that kid could hide is the Mount Juehuang; he shouldn't have gone far."
He paused, then gave the man with the goatee a dark look and said, " Laosan, you stay in the village."
At this moment, the man with the mustache had lost his right arm and was extremely pale. After hearing what the man with the goatee said, he simply said "okay," then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to Meditation to recover.
"Hmph, he brought it on himself," the Straight Moustache sneered.
"You Sneak Attack my brother and me in the cave before. If it weren't for my brother's quick thinking, we would be dead by now. I've only taken one of your arms, which is already a consideration for our many years of friendship."
"After this transaction, you should leave," the man with the goatee said with a sigh.
The bloodstains that Ling Yi and the others saw in the cave earlier were left by this man with the mustache.
Ling Yi was too anxious about Little White and didn't check what was happening behind him before leaving the cave with Guanyin.
"I have nothing to say about people dying for money. However, that White Snake is no ordinary creature. It is one of the Five Elements Snakes that the Ming Shi has been searching for, and its value far exceeds your imagination."
" Five Elements Snakes?" The Straight Moustache and the man with the goatee exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes. Clearly, they were unaware of these things.
" The Five Elements Snakes are the snakes of the Five Elements Water Snake: water Five Elements Earth Snake, Five Elements Metal Snake, Five Elements Wood Snake, Five Elements Fire Snake."
According to Legend, if a snake can devour the essence of the Five Elements Snakes and obtain the Power of the Five Elements, it can gain supreme Magic Power and become invincible.
"You mean to say that the Ming Shi is a snake spirit?"
"Yes, he is also one of the Five Elements Snakes, the Five Elements Earth Snake. I guess he has at least devoured the Five Elements Fire Snake and the Five Elements Metal Snake, otherwise his cultivation could not have reached the Golden Immortal level."
The man with the goatee stared intently at the mustache and asked in a deep voice, "How do you know all this?"
"My surname is Jiang, a descendant of my great-grandfather. I know you will not spare my life. I will exchange my Aether's handwritten Demonic Beast Notes for Golden Core Stage cultivation technique and a chance to live."
"We don't have any Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques," the Straight Moustache said, shaking his head.
"Believe me, this White Snake can definitely be exchanged for Golden Core Stage cultivation technique from the Ming Shi."
The man with the goatee thought for a moment and said, "You should heal your injuries first. We'll go after the White Snake first."
He then gave the Straight Moustache a look, and the two left the room one after the other.
After leaving the room, the two used their movement techniques to quickly rush towards the direction of the Mount Juehuang.
"Do you believe what the Laosan said?" the Straight Moustache asked.
"Believe only a fraction of what you believe!"
"That..."
" The Laosan must die. We'll make our move after we find the White Snake."
"But that Demonic Beast Notes must be incredibly valuable. Why don't we obtain the Demonic Beast Notes first and then kill him?"
"If the Demonic Beast Notes is really that powerful, why is the Laosan's cultivation only at the Qi Refining Stage? Most likely, the Demonic Beast Notes is of absolutely no help to his cultivation."
"Furthermore, I don't believe in the existence of the Demonic Beast Notes."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" said the Straight Moustache.
Meanwhile, the man with the mustache in the room pulled out a communication talisman, which he had purchased from Immortal Music House at a considerable cost.
For these low-level cultivators, even an ordinary talisman is a treasure. The three of them are at the very bottom of the bottom, otherwise they wouldn't have become snake catchers.
He channeled his Magic Power into the communication talisman, and seeing it begin to burn automatically, the man with the mustache quickly said, " Ming Shi, traces of the Five Elements Water Snake have been discovered in Snake-Catching Village."
The moment the words were spoken, the communication talisman burned out, turning into a streak of light that shot into the sky.
"You want my life? Not so easy, huh!"
At this moment, Xu Yan and the Little White were hiding in a tree hole.
He was just an ordinary person; he couldn't have run very far. Luckily, he spotted the two men with the Straight Moustache beforehand and hid.
The two men with the Straight Moustache searched the area for a long time without success, so they prepared to leave and continue their search further.
Xu Yan watched the two figures disappear into the Back and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But at that moment, the White Snake in his arms suddenly began to emit Daodao of white light, and then White Snake body began to grow larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it grew to the thickness of half a water vat and over ten meters long.
The tree hole wasn't very big to begin with, and the White Snake's enormous body instantly burst through it.
"Hold head high!"
The White Snake let out a loud cry, seemingly excited about its transformation.
Xu Yan scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, staring blankly at the enormous White Snake before him.
"No wonder Xu Xian was terrified. This is huge! How did they manage to do that? Besides, they don't need my protection at all. Those two little darlings could probably be eaten alive by the White Snake."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the White Snake's body begin to shrink Rapid Speed again, and after a moment it returned to its previous size of about the thickness of a thumb.
The Little White swam up to Xu Yan, raised its head, and curiously looked him over.
Although the Little White was in a state of cultivation, it was still able to vaguely Perception some information from the outside world.
The other Little White didn't understand, but she knew that this boy had saved her and had been protecting her ever since.
Therefore, Little White instinctively felt close to Xu Yan.
"Your joke has gone a bit too far! You keep changing size, one minute you're big, the next you're small, what am I supposed to do?"
Xu Yan looked at the two men with Straight Moustache approaching and said with a wry smile.
The Little White couldn't understand human language yet; it just kept shaking its head, as if trying to express something.
"Are you asking my name? My name is Xu Yan. Strange, why can I understand the meaning of 'White Snake '? Can the system automatically translate Beast Speech?"
Upon hearing Xu Yan's name, the White Snake seemed delighted and began circling around Xu Yan like a mischievous child.
"Kid, the feng shui here isn't bad. I hope you'll have some brains in your next life and not mess with just anyone." The goatee sneered, and after realizing that the White Snake showed no signs of Transformation again, he accelerated and rushed towards Xu Yan.
The three of them had committed numerous acts of greed and murder.
This time, they almost ruined a big deal because of this kid, and they already hated Xu Yan to the core.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, he decided to kill the boy first.
Seemingly Perception danger, the White Snake raised half of its body, attempting to use its magic to Transformation again.
However, she had just finished her first cultivation session, and her own Magic Power was already limited. The previous Transformation had already exhausted it, so she couldn't use it a second time in a short period of time.
The White Snake could only watch helplessly as the goatee's longsword pierced Xu Yan's heart.
"Squeak!"
The Little White angrily charged at the goatee, but her strength was negligible, and she ended up making herself dizzy.
The man with the goatee drew his longsword, shook off the blood, and without even glancing at Xu Yan, walked towards the Little White.
"Damn it, this counts as a successful mission? What happened to the story mission of protecting the White Snake? So 'protecting the Little White ' is just the name of this part of the story, and the key is the Affection?"
Xu Yan endured the pain and murmured softly. The next moment, everything went black.
When he came to his senses, he had already returned to the body of Xu Xian, 1,700 years in the future.
It turns out that Xu Yan's cheat code is the Plot Mission System. As long as he completes a story segment and meets the most basic requirements, he can get a reward.
Of course, the higher the completion rate of the storyline, the higher the reward.
This time, Xu Yan only received a guaranteed reward.
If he could interact more with the White Snake, or kill the Straight Moustache and his group, the reward would naturally be even greater.
His mission this time is to protect the Little White Little White raise its Affection to 60 or higher.
At the moment of his death, the White Snake's Affection towards him reached 60, just enough to meet the minimum reward requirement.
