Regardless of his previous thoughts, when faced with the meaning of scriptures, everything in reality becomes illusory.
From that moment on, Wang Teng began to change and accepted that person's kindness.
It is no secret that when the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin down to the Big Dipper, all the people came from beyond the heavens.
While he was in the Southern Region, he rescued a visitor from Earth, who told him about various aspects of Earth, including parallel worlds.
According to that person from the Foreign Realm, the multiverse is a large collection of multiple universes, encompassing everything that exists and might exist.
This statement is very similar to all the ideas in the notes of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor.
The Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor was proficient in the Void Great Dao and had a profound understanding of time and space.
He created the secret technique " Eternal Banishment," initially intending to explore the end of the Void, cross the boundaries of this universe, and ascend to the Immortal Domain. However, he ultimately failed, wandering in a Chaos mist, unable to move forward.
For those at the pinnacle of existence, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are like a lake; they can traverse the universe in a single step and reach the Border Wasteland. However, even the current Great Emperor cannot break through the boundary and travel to another world; they can only wait for the Road to Immortality to appear...
In his handwritten notes, the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor expounded on the Spacetime Great Dao. In his view, only by proving the Dao through the Great Time Great Dao and Space Great Dao could one possibly shatter the boundary membrane.
Furthermore, in the Void void, a single ripple in the River of Time will splash up countless mists, countless times and spaces, and countless versions of oneself, living different lives.
Perhaps, on the other side of the timeline, the Wang Clan was destroyed, and he died in madness, perishing before he could even grow up...
Wang Teng's gaze was distant, his mood somewhat low, radiating a peculiar melancholy—the desolation of someone who has experienced death.
Suddenly, the black-haired youth's eyes narrowed, as if he had seen a ghost.
The "snake" that had been dead actually came back to life. Through the blurry mass of flesh and blood, his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye saw a wisp of primordial spirit glowing with death light.
To come back from the dead—it's nothing short of a miracle!
"Impossible! I watched it perish with my own eyes, how could it come back to life..." The Northern Emperor felt a chill run down his spine, gasped, and stared incredulously at the cold iron cage.
Within the refined iron, a crystalline blue light flowed, like stars in the night sky, shimmering with the brilliance of shattered diamonds. It looked magnificent, yet the object enveloped in the blue light was incredibly bloody: a snake that had been skinned, gouged out, had its teeth pulled out, its bones dismembered, and was cut in half at the waist.
Its physical body did die, but its soul struggled to survive and rekindled the flame of Life!
The serpent spirit exuded a chilling aura, and a faint light shone from her empty eye sockets—the last remaining glimmer of her soul. The light was beautiful, yet it was rapidly fading away...
Watched by the dying spirit of the green serpent, Wang Teng's eyes trembled. The light and shadow in his dream became clear again, and he recalled the memories of being nailed to the ground, the destruction of his family, and the tragic death of his younger brother.
Why do I have this feeling...?
The Northern Emperor closed his eyes, waved his sleeve, and took out a Purple Light Jade Marrow bottle. This was a top-grade spiritual spring given to him by Xiang Yufei, from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land!
"Consider it an act of pity for the dying!"
Wang Teng's gaze remained calm as he opened the jade bottle and pointed a finger. In an instant, dozens of crystal-clear drops of immortal spring water swirled and landed on the dim green snake spirit, protecting its soon-to-dissipate body.
The Divine Spring was extremely effective, gushing forth Life energy that drew the spirit of the green snake from its physical body, then transformed it into a large cocoon, gently nurturing the snake spirit...
Island Master Bi Zhan, who was controlling the furnace fire, sensed the aura of the immortal spring. A hazy spiritual light flew out from the top of his head and transformed into a wisp of his clone.
The clone turned around and saw everything Wang Teng had done. Its expression remained calm as it asked, "Does the Palace Master want this spirit snake?"
This green snake is equivalent to a longevity elixir, and is extremely valuable. If Su Yu's trusted confidant, Central Emperor, were to speak up, he might relent and be willing to form a good relationship with the other party.
That one gained the approval of both princes, and was indeed amazing, having entered the Divine Forbidden Domain from the Severing the Dao King Realm, with the potential to become Quasi-Emperor in the future.
Today's Wang Teng is far inferior to Xiang Yufei. He is just a descendant of the Chaotic Ancient Era Realm at the Immortal Platform Second Heaven. So what if he Divine Prohibition? He is not worth giving up longevity pills to win him over.
"I have been impolite, touching this snake without the master's permission!" Wang Teng rose, bowed, and presented an item with both hands, saying, "This is the Divine Phoenix Blood from the Great Saint Realm, which I obtained during my travels..."
During his many days in the Ziwei Star Domain, he encountered some opportunities, the most amazing of which was an Undying Divine Phoenix Cave, which contained a small pool of phoenix blood. This blood was incredibly valuable, as it was the true blood left behind by the Great Saint Realm Divine Phoenix, and could be considered a celestial treasure.
He gave some of the Divine Phoenix Blood to Su Yu and Xiang Yufei. Besides what he had used for his own body refinement, there was still some left. He originally planned to leave it for his younger brother Wang Chong, but now he had to take out ten drops to save the spirit snake.
"The true blood of the Divine Phoenix Great Saint!"
The old man in hemp clothing had a flicker in his eyes. After a moment of thought, he nodded slightly, agreeing to exchange the Azure Serpent of Severing the Dao the Dao for the Divine Phoenix Blood.
However, he only took six drops of the Divine Phoenix Blood, and this true blood was already comparable to half a King Serpent.
This is the way of life of the Medicine Sage. Although he is not afraid of Wang Teng, he is also unwilling to antagonize him and will not take advantage of him.
That's enough!
Bi Zhan was refining a great elixir, a wisp of his consciousness received the Divine Phoenix Blood and left behind two bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills.
"Those six drops were merely an exchange; I apologize for my earlier recklessness!"
The black-haired youth bowed deeply, then presented the remaining four drops of Divine Phoenix Blood.
This time, the Medicine Saint did not refuse and accepted the Divine Phoenix Blood.
At this moment, the Divine Spring shone brightly, surrounded by celestial light, bursting forth with countless rays of light, auspicious colors, and surging blood energy, attracting the attention of the two.
In the vast sky, the Daoist energy soared to the heavens, and a phantom of a green snake was imprinted on the Cangming Sea, its entire body radiant, flowing with Order Divine Chains.
"This is..." The Northern Emperor exclaimed in surprise, somewhat incredulous.
"It has ushered in a second life?! How is that possible?!"
Bi Zhan, the Medicine Saint, was even more shocked and unable to calm down. What countless heroes could not do, a mere king snake had actually accomplished!
For ordinary people to be Lifetime, the only way is to obtain the Immortal Medicine, even for Great Emperor. Yet this dying snake managed to do so.
"Bang!"
With a cracking sound, the spirit cocoon burst open, and a vibrant green snake burst forth, shattering the cold iron cage and regaining its freedom.
This giant serpent possessed only a spiritual body, yet it exuded wisps of holy pressure that annihilated the Void. Its overwhelming power made it difficult for Wang Teng to breathe.
The green snake, its blood-red eyes gleaming with hatred, roared at Island Master Bi Zhan, circling in the sky, its hatred reaching its peak.
"You beast, you've really become a spirit!"
The Medicine Saint frowned slightly. With a thought in his mind, Immortal Platform Saint King- level island-protecting formation was activated. In an instant, a murderous aura surged, chilling to the bone. Countless black and red lines of Dao stretched across the sky, intertwining and condensing into a large net, flowing with black light, rushing towards the Green Serpent.
"Ah..."
The giant serpent roared, shaking the Sun-Moon, rivers, and the boundless Northern Sea. However, a terrifying net formed from the Tai Shi Immortal Light descended and suppressed it within.
Then the black lines rose up, transforming into a cage that bound the snake inside!
Before a venerable Venerable, Half-Saint is nothing but an ant, easily suppressed with a wave of the hand, unable to cause much of a ripple.
Bi Zhan's eyes were cold, his forehead bones gleaming with divine light, which transformed into five sword lights that pierced through the green snake's spirit body. In an instant, screams echoed through the sky and resounded across the 100,000-mile sea area.
The wailing of the Half-Saint Serpent caused a tremor in Wang Teng's sea of consciousness, stirring up boundless waves. He felt dizzy and unwell, and although he was in great pain, he was also somewhat worried.
The value of a dying serpent and a Half-Saint green serpent that has lived a second life is worlds apart.
If Island Lord Bi Zhan does not grant him the Serpent Spirit, there is nothing he can do but give up; it is beyond his control.
"What a stupid snake! Island Lord Bi Zhan is Saint King. How could you possibly be a match for him? What a waste of my ten drops of Divine Phoenix Blood!" The Northern Emperor sighed inwardly, his gaze somewhat dim.
As he predicted, the Medicine Saint did indeed capture the Serpent Spirit, but returned the Divine Phoenix Blood. His reasoning was impeccable: the serpent had broken through the King Realm and entered the Half-Saint Realm, making it impossible for Wang Teng to control it.
Moreover, it harbors resentment towards the Human Clan, and if it gets out of control, it will surely cause the earth to bleed and countless people to die!
"Your Human Clan. If this leads to disaster, it will be too late for regrets. For the sake of all living beings, I cannot let it go. I hope the Palace Master can understand. Consider those two bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills as my apology."
The old man in hemp clothing had a kind face, but he held the snake cage tightly in both hands, refusing to let go.
After all, if it can be nurtured into a sacred dragon-snake, it is equivalent to a Azure Nether Everlasting Spring Pill, which can extend Saint's life by a hundred years!
With a lifespan of a hundred years, let alone Wang Teng, even if the Central Emperor came, it would be impossible to take this green snake from his hands.
"This..."
Wang Teng sighed softly, wanting to do nothing, but the snake spirit's eyes made him feel disoriented.
That gaze was all too familiar—the sorrow, resentment, and anger of someone dying, along with the detached acceptance of life and death.
He saw his own reflection in the snake, or rather, he saw another version of himself from another timeline, which stirred something within him...
"Twenty drops of Divine Spring Water, this is a celestial spring obtained from the Life Forbidden Zone in the Big Dipper Star Domain, its value is astonishing!" The Northern Emperor took out the Divine Spring that Xiang Yufei had given him, wanting to try it out.
The old man in hemp clothing hesitated for a moment, but still refused.
He had obtained two drops of this spring water, and its effects were indeed remarkable. It could nourish the physical body and cleanse the primordial spirit; it was the most supreme immortal spring in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
However, the Divine Spring does not focus on prolonging life, and its effect on lifespan is not significant. Twenty drops are also too few to tempt him.
"Well!"
The black-haired youth sighed, shook his head, and said nothing more. He suppressed the ripples in his heart, regained his composure, and stopped looking at the green snake...
In the Void, Su Yu, who witnessed all of this, stared at the green snake with a deep and mysterious expression.
This snake possesses a secret, a great secret, a resurrection from the dead. The pure white aura that flashed by when the snake spirit underwent its nirvana was very similar to the aura on the Bronze Immortal Sword. This is something that no ordinary cultivator could achieve!
"However, where would an ordinary dragon-blooded green snake get Imperishable Substance?" Su Yu muttered to himself, not understanding the reason.
After pondering for a moment, he stepped out of the spatial node and came to the side of the Ancient Emperor's Medicine Furnace.
The Holy Emperor of the Sun once used this item to refine elixirs; it was engraved with supreme divine patterns and exuded a rich medicinal fragrance.
Unfortunately, millions of years have passed, and things have changed. The former Human Emperor has fallen, and the Ancient Emperor's Dao traces are incomplete, causing the value of this medicine furnace to plummet.
If the Dao patterns were intact, this divine object would never have been used for alchemy. Instead, it would have been worn atop the heads of cultivators as Ancient Emperor's secret weapon, used to annihilate everything!
Your Highness!
Island Master Bi Zhan and Wang Teng bowed to each other, each with their own thoughts. The former remained calm and composed, subtly tucking the green snake into his sleeve.
It's best not to let those in higher positions know about this breach of agreement; it will only cause trouble!
The latter had a calm expression, with his eyes sparkling like two tranquil night stars. His demeanor also transformed from sharp to gentle, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze!
"No need for formalities!"
Su Yu nodded slightly, then got straight to the point, expressing his desire to exchange for the snake spirit.
With a flick of his silver sleeve, he took out half a Golden Jade Medicine King, a spiritual herb from Tang Valley. When Su Yu left the North Sea Demon Eye, he took dozens of these with him.
The ancient Medicine King exudes auspicious energy, rich and fragrant, its entire body like cast gold, magnificent and radiant, flowing with a faint divine light, capable of extending the Great Saint's life by two hundred years!
The medicinal kings in Tang Valley are not as effective as the medicinal kings of Zishan Mountain. The Fusang Immortal Tree absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and refines the essence of the sun's fire, taking away most of the pure essence of Tang Valley. The ancient medicinal kings are inferior in terms of environment, and their life-extending effects are also reduced.
"Your Highness, if you wish to obtain this snake, you need only speak; there is no need for the Medicine King!" Island Lord Bi Zhan readily took out the cyan snake spirit and handed it to the silver-robed youth.
Su Yu smiled faintly, shook his head, and said nothing more. He put the snake spirit into his sleeve and then placed the jade box containing the Medicine King aside.
Seeing this, Wang Teng felt relieved. With the snake in this person's hands, its life should be spared...
After exchanging words with the Medicine Saint, Su Yu looked at Wang Teng with a calm gaze. He pointed a finger, and a yin moon and a Jin Yang appeared. In an instant, the light and shadow were chaotic, and the universe shifted.
