Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Chapter 544: Chapter 213: Crisis: Poisonous Snake Massacre

There was a hint of regret in the tone.

After settling Xu Ran in, she took out needles and thread, and began to sew clothes and shoes for him.

Just like that, in a carefree life, three months passed quickly.

Morning.

Xu Ran sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard. With the rising sun, the purple haze in the air began to gather towards him.

This was the last morning of his Life Task Three. As long as he absorbed the morning glow completely, he would achieve the Innate Divine Body.

Xu Binghu, who was up to hunt, was already used to Xu Ran’s demeanor by now. Over the past three months, it had been the same every day, and even at night.

Therefore, he just glanced indifferently, found nothing wrong, and then went out, walking into the winding path leading to the Great Mountain.

When the last ray of dawn merged into his body, at this moment, Xu Ran’s Innate Spirit Body completely evolved.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing Life Task Three, achieving achievement, Innate Divine Body]

As the system voice echoed in his mind, Xu Ran’s entire body seemed to be opened up by strands of Innate Spiritual Qi, as if the previously unbreakable regions within him were being unlocked.

From within his body came a ”crackle” sound, this sound emanating outward.

The sound wasn’t loud, but it resonated with various elements in the air, even the ground Xu Ran sat on vibrated, producing a ”dong dong dong” sound.

Water in the courtyard’s well also splashed with the vibrations.

If Xu Binghu were still in the courtyard, he would have marveled at the changes.

This sound came quickly and disappeared just as fast, vanishing in a brief moment.

Lian Ji, who was in her slumber, also got up at this time, rubbing her eyes, her voice sticky, saying, ”I think I just heard some strange sounds.”

After saying that, she walked out of the room and saw Xu Ran still sitting cross-legged in the center of the courtyard as usual. Seeing nothing happened, she left.

And Xu Ran, the initiator, had completed the transformation of his Innate Spirit Body into an Innate Divine Body.

He slowly opened his eyes, and upon a closer look, a faint golden color appeared in his eyes, and within the golden pupils, it was as if there was a whole space, one glance enough to fall for millennia.

Soon, the faint golden hue in Xu Ran’s eyes disappeared. Compared to the changes in his eyes, the changes in his body were the most significant.

He could clearly feel that the Spiritual Qi which previously nurtured his body was now forming a cycle inside, constantly nourishing his body and improving all its qualities.

Moreover, under the nourishment of the Innate Spiritual Qi, his speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was becoming increasingly fast, the entire body seemingly enveloped in a warm heat.

At the same time, there was unexpectedly a ray of never-fading dawn nurtured and circulating inside him, and in the heart area, there was also stored a ray of moonlight which Xu Ran felt would appear at night.

Furthermore, the dawn and moonlight within him subtly combined, complementing each other, mysteriously containing a strand of Heavenly Dao Realm within.

Compared to this, all the benefits previously formed by the Innate Divine Body were insignificant.

”Didn’t expect the benefits of the Innate Divine Body to be so immense!” Xu Ran was very excited.

In the three months of absorbing moonlight and dawn, he had already figured out their appearance patterns, each only appearing at the moment when the sun or moon appeared.

This single thread was a whole day’s worth, once gone, it was gone.

Over these three months, the biggest daily improvement was when absorbing moonlight and dawn.

The benefits of moonlight and dawn on the body were most clear to him, so he always wanted to collect a little more, but unfortunately, nothing he did mattered.

Now, with the Great Success of the Innate Divine Body, his body stored a thread of never-fading dawn and moonlight, constantly nourishing his body. How is this different from using Spiritual Elixirs every day to wash marrow and forge scripture?

If there was a difference, it would be that moonlight and dawn had no side effects, were naturally compatible with the body, and most importantly, were free.

Upon further introspection of his bodily changes, he discovered that the warm current felt within his body came from his Dantian.

What’s more, with the continuous nourishment from the dawn, the warm current at his Dantian grew stronger. Through introspection, he discovered a flame seeming to ignite at his Dantian.

However, this flame seemed to harbor no malice against him; instead, it circulated throughout his body via the meridians.

Sensing that this flame held no malice, Xu Ran didn’t attempt to block it.

As the flame traveled through his meridians and reached his brain, information flooded into his mind. Once he carefully understood it, he realized what this flame was.

This flame was the Sun Power formed from the daily absorption of dawn.

Dawn, the first light after sunrise, contained Sun Power accumulated over a night. After three months of baptism, the body accepted this power, forming Sun Power within him.

Sun Power held strong combat abilities and could repel all darkness.

After comprehending Sun Power, Xu Ran beamed with joy.

”Truly worthy of being the product of the third Life Task; from every aspect, the benefits are vast.”

”Moreover, having arrived in the High-dimensional World for four months now, this time is worth more than the decade of hard cultivation before.”

At this moment, Xu Ran also understood why it was said that only upon arriving in the High-dimensional World would there be a chance to save Blue Star; at this rate, returning to conquer Blue Star in ten years would be a piece of cake!

As Xu Ran reveled in excitement, the system’s voice came quietly.

[Innate Divine Body evolution completed, normal growth will proceed for the next half month. After one year, face your life’s first calamity—Poisonous Snake Village Massacre]

Ah!

The sudden familiar feeling reminded him of the previous abduction incident.

However, the abduction of infants and young children was quite common, after all, heartless traffickers existed everywhere.

But a poisonous snake massacre village?

”Poisonous snakes can actually massacre a village?” Xu Ran was astonished.

During these four months, Xu Ran hadn’t shown up, nor had his parents taken him out to see the world.

Simply put, Xu Ran’s behavior over these four months was too unusual, so Xu Binghu and Lian Ji didn’t want to attract unnecessary trouble and thus didn’t take him out. Villagers who wanted to see him were politely refused by Lian Ji on account of her physical discomfort, so they didn’t know the specifics.

However, from Xu Binghu and Lian Ji’s daily conversations, he learned that the world he was in was called the Origin Realm, and the village he lived in was called the Great Wilderness Border Village, an utterly nameless village in the Origin Realm.

Beyond this, he knew very little.

He only knew his father, Xu Binghu, was a hunter with some martial skills, and the entire Great Wilderness Border Village subsisted on hunting, with men hunting and women weaving, self-sufficient.

The village men would all go hunting in the Great Mountain.

Though the Great Mountain was somewhat eerie, hunters only hunted on the outskirts, rarely venturing deep inside, where only one or two specific areas posed great danger.

Of course, compared to other hunters, Xu Binghu’s habit of bringing back beast milk every time was the riskiest behavior.

Where there is beast milk, there are young beasts. Without beast milk, how could one raise the young beasts?

Even so, Xu Ran had never heard of poisonous snakes capable of massacring a village appearing in the Great Mountain. Deep within, perhaps, but why would such a being ever come out?

Thinking it over, Xu Ran couldn’t figure out where the poisonous snakes might originate.

”Well, no need to think about it now, there are still eight months to go. Even if a poisonous snake massacre were to occur, there would be signs.”

”Moreover, I can have the Great Wilderness Border Village prepare in advance, provided my actions are sufficiently startling. Otherwise, how would others in the village believe me!”

Soon, Xu Ran had a rough plan in mind.
