Serpent Ancestor

Zhou Wendie stood up, emerging from the thick layer of ice, her figure ethereal, like a person in a mirror.

”Is it time?”

Zhou Wendie’s voice remained indifferent, just like last year, but her eyes now brimmed with strong confidence.

Now, losing one Scarlet Flame Demon Eye was not a bad thing, but rather a good one. If not for this, she wouldn’t have developed the Ice and Fire Dual Eyes.

”There’s one last day.”

Zhou Qingxuan looked at the sky, a cold smile appearing on his face. The day of the Zhou Family’s rise is now.

…………

Place of Earth Inheritance.

On the last day, Xu Hei was still tempering his body in the deepest part of the underground magma.

Currently, his cultivation was not yet perfect, but it was close. The dragon bone had reached seventy percent and had stopped growing.It seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

Xu Hei wasn’t surprised by this. The further one progresses, the less effective conventional cultivation becomes, requiring insight!

Just like the last piece of dragon scale, it needed a chance to comprehend! It couldn’t be forced!

”It’s time to leave. It’s a pity that I can’t take this blue magma with me.”

Xu Hei sighed inwardly.

At this moment, where he was, the magma was no longer red but blue.

The blue area was small, but the temperature and pressure had reached astonishing levels. No one at the Foundation Establishment Stage could last a second, and even those at the Core Formation Stage needed to sustain a true essence shield to withstand it.

This was the deepest center of the inheritance space, where the pressure was greatest.

Xu Hei had only barely reached this place a month ago. After entering this blue magma, his strength grew at a terrifying speed, and even his Earth Spiritual Roots began to change.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Suddenly, Xu Hei closed his eyes.

His heart and pulse beat slowly, and with each beat, the entire blue magma pulsated.

This ripple of movement spread through Xu Hei, through the magma, through the rock layers, through the desert...

The range of the ripple grew larger and larger until it encompassed the entire inheritance space.

At this moment, Xu Hei seemed to enter a state of unity with heaven and earth. He didn’t need to extend his Divine Sense to sense everything within the inheritance space.

Xu Bai was merging with a cactus, controlling it to walk.

Hei Huang was making straw hats, crafting two identical ones.

The butcher’s body was emitting over a dozen corpse pills.

Ji Ying was staring at the butcher’s head, drooling.

Xu Hei didn’t extend his Divine Sense, and his Divine Sense couldn’t possibly cover such a large range, but he could clearly see every detail.

”What is happening to me?”

A question arose in Xu Hei’s heart.

At this moment, he had a feeling that he could influence any part of the space, any point, with just a casual move!

This feeling had never occurred before, as if he was connected to this land.

On this final day before leaving, Xu Hei entered a mysterious state.

However, this feeling came quickly and left just as fast. In an instant, Xu Hei withdrew from the mystery, and his consciousness returned to himself from the entire land.

”Hmm?”

Suddenly, Hei Huang seemed to sense something and disappeared from his spot in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared right in front of Xu Hei, first glancing at him in surprise, then turning his gaze to the mass of blue magma, his eyes nearly popping out.

”This is... Breath Soil!”

Hei Huang took a deep breath, his eyes burning with excitement, licking his lips.

Seeing Hei Huang’s greedy look, Xu Hei knew it must be something extraordinary and quickly asked, ”What is Breath Soil?”

”It’s this blue magma. It can continuously provide earth-element Spiritual Qi. The Spiritual Qi of this entire space is provided by this Breath Soil, known as the source of spiritual veins.”

Hei Huang didn’t hold back, explaining enthusiastically, ”Additionally, this thing can help you comprehend the realm of unity between earth and man, which was your state just now.”

”Unity between earth and man?”

Xu Hei pondered.

Hei Huang didn’t waste any more words and immediately took action, scratching with his dog paws, carving strange ripples like formation patterns.

Breath Soil couldn’t be taken away by conventional means; what was taken would be waste material. It had to be done with formations, and it had to be an immortal pattern-level formation.

Immortal patterns, even for Hei Huang, could only be partially arranged.

”Hehe, with this corner of an immortal pattern, not to mention Breath Soil, even stars can be plucked down.”

Hei Huang finished his preparations and reached out to the front.

Immediately, a chunk of blue magma was gone.

And in Hei Huang’s dog paw, there was a small piece of blue stone, solid in form, no longer liquid.

Then, Hei Huang continued to pluck, grabbing five or six thumb-sized pieces of Breath Soil.

Suddenly, the space began to tremble, showing signs of instability, and Hei Huang quickly stopped, not daring to continue.

”Damn it! That bastard City Lord even set a Restriction, afraid someone would steal it, how stingy!” Hei Huang cursed.

”So, you plan to sneak back later and take it all for yourself?” Xu Hei sneered.

”Hey! Am I that kind of person? Don’t look down on me with snake eyes!” Hei Huang retorted.

You’re a dog... Xu Hei thought to himself.

However, seeing Hei Huang’s anxious look, it seemed he really couldn’t pluck any more.

Afterward, Hei Huang gave Xu Hei three pieces of Breath Soil, splitting it fifty-fifty, since this place was discovered by Xu Hei first.

”Once I reach Core Formation, I’ll take all this Breath Soil without leaving a drop! At most half a year, I’ll definitely come back!” Hei Huang said indignantly.

Just then, a familiar and powerful voice came from outside.

”The time has come, all inheritors, exit immediately!”

It was the voice of the City Lord of Wuyou.

With the arrival of the voice, everyone in the five places of inheritance exited their closed-door cultivation state.

Xu Hei also immediately emerged from the underground, coming to the surface, looking at the phantom in the sky.

Hei Huang handed over two identical straw hats.

These were Zhou Qing’s straw hats, somehow duplicated by Hei Huang.

”These hats are for you. They can block Divine Sense. Although we are demonic beasts, we still need to act like normal people to avoid being targeted.”

Hei Huang put on a straw hat, donned a cloak, and wore a long knife at his waist, walking upright, transforming into a dwarf-like human form.

Xu Hei thought for a moment, then took out the butcher, put on heavy armor, wore the straw hat, and entered the butcher’s body.

Xu Bai took out a pill and swallowed it, her body immediately transforming into a woman, hiding her figure with the straw hat.

”You...” Xu Hei was dumbfounded.

Hei Huang was also stunned.

We went to such lengths to hide, and you just transformed into a human?

Xu Bai covered her face and laughed, ”This is a Transformation Pill. It can only transform into a human for a short time, just a little trick. Not only a human, but any form can be transformed.”

If it were just a trick, it would be easily seen through, but with the straw hat blocking Divine Sense, it naturally couldn’t be detected.

”It can be done like this!” Xu Hei was astonished.

At this moment, the phantom in the sky waved a hand, and an irresistible spatial fluctuation acted on their bodies, taking them away from this space.

The scenery before their eyes changed rapidly, stars shifting.

Moments later, they arrived at a massive pentagonal plaza.

They were positioned in the east, with the ground beneath them engraved with the symbol of earth.

In the other five-element positions, familiar figures appeared one after another.
