Chapter 325: The Truth from Ten Thousand Years Ago! Holy Blood Sky Serpent



Fighting over the treasures in the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain? Is this the reason why the gods descended ten thousand years ago? Li Yuan held his breath.

When Lie Feng Teacher had mentioned it before, he had only thought it was a dangerous place filled with treasures or perhaps a Tier Four Star Realm.

But now it seemed far more significant.

Just from the Ancient God Palace and the Civilization Mothership, one could glimpse the immense power of the Gu Ju Divine Lord and the Serpent God 'Chou Bingzun.' They had not hesitated to come and kill.

What secrets did the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain hold?

"Venerable, are you a Heavenly Deity?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

The One-Horned Towering Figure, who had been talking non-stop, paused and fell silent.

"Spirit Lance."

The black serpent shadow beside him spoke in a deep voice, "Heavenly Deities are supremely powerful existences. Even in the Divine Realm, each Heavenly Deity is a superpower among countless deities."

"Heavenly Deities can create vast nations and rule over countless planets... Among the Serpent Clan, Heavenly Deities are extremely rare."

"Venerable, among True Deities, you are an exceptionally powerful one, hence the title of 'Venerable.'" The black serpent shadow explained, "If your plan had succeeded back then, and you had obtained the treasures in the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain, you might have had a chance to become a Heavenly Deity."

Li Yuan nodded respectfully, but he understood the truth.

So, he wasn't a Heavenly Deity.

Of course, Li Yuan also knew that just as Skysoar Warriors and Demigods had their distinctions.

Fifth Rank Phantom Gods and Sixth Rank True Gods, even at the same level, might have a tremendous gap in strength.

Chou Bingzun was an exceptionally powerful True God back then.

"A Heavenly Deity?" Chou Bingzun's eyes flashed with a complex expression as he looked at Li Yuan. "Your talent is extraordinary. With my help and your advantage as a native life form of this realm, there is a slim chance that you could become a Heavenly Deity, dominating the Divine Realm."

"A slim chance?" Li Yuan wondered silently, not refuting the statement.

From Chou Bingzun's description, Heavenly Deities were indeed incredibly powerful, far surpassing ordinary deities.

"Venerable, what lies in the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain?" Li Yuan asked.

What treasures could attract the descent of the gods?

"I don't know what's at the very core," Chou Bingzun shook his head.

"You don't know?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"Over ten thousand years ago, I led my followers on a journey through a galaxy in the Divine Realm," Chou Bingzun explained slowly. "As we passed through a region, I sensed a continuous tremor throughout the starry sky... I perceived the power of heaven and earth, and I saw a magnificent spectacle in your mortal realm."

"I witnessed a vast and awe-inspiring sight."

"Above the spectacle were nine continuous mountain peaks, connected one after another, each peak seemed to span billions of miles, radiating brilliant light."

"Below, like a lotus, were huge leaves, nine in total, supporting the nine mountain peaks... Each leaf supported a peak, and those nine leaves spanned an unknown number of miles." Chou Bingzun shook his head.

Li Yuan listened in awe, no wonder Chou Bingzun had asked about 'Nine Leaves Nine Mountains' at the beginning.

So that was the reason.

"That spectacle was just a projection."

"It reflected the vastness of space and time in the Divine Realm, and many galaxies and planets witnessed it."

"It caused a huge commotion." Chou Bingzun continued, "Soon, nearby galaxies and planets, many deities calculated and concluded that an immensely powerful existence was buried in your mortal realm, leaving behind a great treasure."

"This is the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain."

"Moreover, the 'window period' for entering your mortal realm was already nearing its end." Chou Bingzun explained, "Many deities didn't dare hesitate and desperately descended upon your mortal realm."

"A large number of them."

"However, just the process of descending was perilous; more than half of the deities perished." Chou Bingzun spoke in a low voice, "Even some True Gods among them fell."

Li Yuan's heart trembled as he listened.

Is it that dangerous? Just traveling there caused the fall of True Gods?

"Venerable, what is this 'window period'?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Numerous mortal realms revolve around the Divine Realm, following the rules of heaven and earth." The black serpent shadow beside him explained, "Most of the time, mortal realms are far from the Divine Realm, and their connection is weak. The dimensional realm's membrane is incredibly thick, and even Heavenly Deities cannot tear it apart... Only during rare moments does the mortal realm draw closer to the Divine Realm, causing spatial instability. Demigods can traverse it... This is the window period."

Li Yuan understood; in the vast starry sky, numerous mortal realms and the Divine Realm were in constant motion, not static.

"If one misses the window period, then unless they are native life forms of that mortal realm, using the dimensional realm's primordial power, they might have a chance to return home." The black serpent shadow explained, "All outsiders are unable to enter that mortal realm."

"Even so, traversing different dimensional realms is extremely dangerous... The omnipresent spatial rifts kill most who dare to cross, and Demigods are guaranteed to perish."

"At least a Fifth Rank Phantom God might have a chance to get through." The black serpent shadow said.

Li Yuan nodded, it seemed that even for the strong from the Divine Realm, descending was highly dangerous.

"Did no Heavenly Deities come?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"The event happened suddenly, and many powerful beings from major forces hadn't arrived yet when the window period had already passed."

"Chou Bingzun spoke softly, "As for the Heavenly Deities? Perhaps some will arrive, but the limit for external intervention in the Mortal Realm is a 'Sixth Rank True Deity'."

"Heavenly Deities cannot descend upon a non-native Mortal Realm. They are too powerful, and the Mortal Realm's Primordial Energy will reject them... If they dare to forcefully intrude, they will surely perish. That's a bloody lesson."

Li Yuan immediately understood.

Among the descending deities, the Serpent Clan's deity should belong to the top-tier in terms of strength.

"It was difficult to pass through the Dimensional Realm passage." Chou Bingzun's eyes held a hint of reminiscence, "I sensed many powerful existences, all of them True Deities. We were suppressed by the Primordial Energy and couldn't enter the Dimensional Realm. We could only travel through the 'Starry Gap' between the realms."

"Fortunately, the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain also rejected the Dimensional Realm, and it didn't directly fall into any Dimensional Realm. Otherwise, we deities would have been left dumbfounded." Chou Bingzun shook his head.

Li Yuan listened.

He had learned about this in the Flame Star Temple's database. In theory, Demigods could travel through the vast starry sky and enter various Dimensional Realms.

But for deities? They faced absolute rejection.

"Finally, we arrived at the outskirts of the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain."

"The Immortal Burial Ancient Domain seemed to have just emerged and was still extremely unstable."

"That's indeed an incredible treasure trove. Just in the outskirts, there are countless rare treasures and artifacts. I sensed what I've been pursuing, an extremely dangerous..." Chou Bingzun sighed, "A great battle, and one by one, deities fell."

He seemed to be reminiscing about the intensity of that great battle.

Li Yuan listened. It seemed that besides the gods' battle, the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain itself contained immense danger.

"After the initial battle..."

"The Immortal Burial Ancient Domain gradually stabilized, and I realized that if we directly entered the inner realm, the probability of perishing was extremely high. Many deities retreated and chose to leave, but I had no choice." Chou Bingzun spoke in a low voice, "I was already barely surviving, and this was the greatest opportunity I've encountered. Even if it meant risking my life, I had to take the chance."

"Moreover, if the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain completely stabilizes, the suppression will be even greater, and the hope will be even more slim."

Li Yuan held his breath.

Barely surviving? No choice?

"But I can't become the sinner of my clan." Chou Bingzun said, "So, before our departure, I left behind the Civilization Mothership. If I fail, then the Serpent Clan will still have a glimmer of hope."

"At that time, when the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain appeared, this Mortal Realm was in turmoil. Various dimensions collided with each other, giving birth to many new Star Realms... To protect the Civilization Mothership, I voluntarily caused it to fall into this Star Realm." Chou Bingzun explained.

A new Star Realm?

Li Yuan immediately thought of the 'Silver Feather Star Realm'. It seemed like it was also born during that period.

Everything fit together.

"Many cabins of the Civilization Mothership were destroyed in the first round of the great battle."

"I deduced at that time that this Star Realm should be beneficial for life to thrive." Chou Bingzun said.

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

So, this Civilization Mothership was voluntarily crashed by the Serpent Clan's deity, not because they were being pursued by enemies.

"I left many backup plans and imprinted my spiritual mark." Chou Bingzun spoke softly, "My main body led numerous deities under my command and some Demigods to set out... Soon after, I sensed that my main body had perished."

"No news was sent back."

"I knew then that the first plan had failed." Chou Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, "I could only execute the second plan. I started to propagate life in the Civilization Mothership... But resources were scarce, there was no harsh environment to temper them, and as time passed, the few Demigods and Flying Heaven-ranks living on the Mothership all grew old and died, and countless ordinary mortals perished..."

"There was no other way."

"Fortunately, the Star Realm stabilized, and there was a foundation for life to thrive. I released the remaining few lives, scattering them into the Star Realm... This is the Ruin Beast Tribe." Chou Bingzun explained, "Now, most of the lives in the Ruin Beast Tribe are, in theory, my descendants, and they all contain a trace of my bloodline."

Li Yuan listened. He had learned about these messages before.

"For these descendants of my bloodline, I don't have much affection for them, but if their potential is also good, I will naturally be more inclined towards them."

"Like the Million Scale Beast Emperor, his potential is far inferior to Xue Yan, not to mention compared to you... But I still gave him a chance."

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

Even without affection, there would still be some inclination.

"But your potential is too high." Chou Bingzun looked at Li Yuan and sighed, "If you were born in the Divine Realm, and when you reach the Flying Heaven-rank, once your potential is further confirmed... You would have the hope to become a disciple of a Heavenly Deity."

"Further confirm my potential?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Your potential is currently large enough, but your cultivation time is too short..." The black snake shadow beside him laughed, "However, if you maintain this growth and cultivate to the 37th or 38th rank, or even become a Demigod, the Heavenly Deities will definitely accept you as a disciple."

Li Yuan understood.

So, according to Chou Bingzun and the black snake shadow, does his current performance catch the attention of the Heavenly Deities?

"Why does it have to be the 37th or 38th rank?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.

"Only with a Seven Star Vein can you cultivate to the 37th rank, and to reach the 38th rank, you need an Eight Star Vein." Chou Bingzun smiled, "The Seven Star Vein is one of the conditions to cultivate into a Seventh Rank Heaven God... When Heavenly Deities nurture disciples, they naturally aim for them to become Heavenly Deities. If they only cultivate a Sixth Rank True Deity, it holds no meaning for the Heavenly Deities standing at the peak of the Divine Realm."

"Thus, to become a disciple of a Heavenly Deity, awakening the Seven Star Vein is the bare minimum."

"Even True Deities, when taking disciples, such as the many inner disciples I previously accepted, require at least the Eight Star Vein. The Six Star Vein is the baseline for becoming a Sixth Rank True Deity."

"Moreover, in reality, most Heavenly Deity disciples have the Eight Star Vein." Chou Bingzun said.

"Eight Star Vein?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

In his Mortal Realm, the Seven Star Vein was already almost a legend, let alone the Eight Star Vein.

Previously, Gu Shen didn’t dare claim he could achieve the Eight Star Vein.

"In the Mortal Realm, the Seven Star Vein is a legend, with almost everyone who has it becoming a deity, and they are considered geniuses even in the Divine Realm." Chou Bingzun said, "But the Divine Realm is vast, with countless beings. The Eight Star Vein… naturally exists, and with the long lifespan of Heavenly Deities, they can afford to wait."

"Even if a Heavenly Deity only accepts one direct disciple every ten thousand years, they would still have dozens of direct disciples in their lifetime." Chou Bingzun sighed.

"I understand." Li Yuan couldn’t help but nod.

The Eight Star Vein, even in the Divine Realm, is likely a legend for ordinary deities… but not for Heavenly Deities.

Or rather, without the foundation of the Eight Star Vein, it is difficult to become a Heavenly Deity.

Each Heavenly Deity is a world-class genius born over the long ages of the Divine Realm.

"You have great potential. You have already achieved the Six Star Vein, and each of your star veins is exceptionally powerful, clearly showing great potential. Awakening the Seven Star Vein is almost certain, and achieving the Eight Star Vein is not out of the question."

"Your talent in comprehending the Dao is also very high, combining earth and wind… In the future, you have a complete chance to touch the Spatial Law." Chou Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, "Meeting a genius like you in the Mortal Realm is already a blessing from the heavens, a rare and precious encounter. I cannot wish for more."

"Even waiting another hundred thousand years might not yield someone with greater potential than you… Therefore, I have made up my mind." Chou Bingzun said, "You will execute the second plan."

Li Yuan sighed inwardly; the Serpent God indeed had high hopes for him.

"Venerable, what exactly is this second plan?" Li Yuan asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Do you know why I brought the Civilization Mothership?" Chou Bingzun sighed, seemingly irrelevant to Li Yuan’s question.

Li Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head.

"The Serpent Clan was destroyed in a great battle, with many clan members scattered." On the side, the Black Snake Shadow gritted his teeth, "Our Civilization Mothership is a fleeing ship, always on the run. The Venerable is one of the few True Deities who escaped, and we are only here to explore the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain to help the Venerable advance to a Heavenly Deity, so that in the future, we can rebuild our Serpent Clan."

Li Yuan was taken aback.

The Serpent Clan had actually been destroyed, no wonder they brought the Civilization Mothership… Normally, strong beings wandering the realms wouldn’t bring so many weak clan members, as it would burden both them and the clan.

It turns out, they had no choice.

"The first plan is for me to gain the maximum benefits in the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain and become a Heavenly Deity." Chou Bingzun said softly.

"The second plan is to ask for your help." Chou Bingzun’s gaze fell upon Li Yuan, "In the future, you will carry the last of our clan, the 'Holy Blood Sky Serpent,' into the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain, and ultimately help him become a Heavenly Deity, to rebuild our Serpent Clan."

"Holy Blood Sky Serpent?" Li Yuan was both shocked and puzzled, "What’s the difference from a pure-blood Sky Serpent?"

"If the Serpent blood only contains a part, according to the blood concentration, it can result in a Second, Third, or even Fourth Rank strong being." Chou Bingzun said, "A pure-blood Sky Serpent, once matured, will directly become a Fifth Rank Phantom Deity."

Li Yuan couldn’t help but nod.

The True Phoenix Clan, for example, Lin Lan Yue’s ancestor, the 'Flame City Demigod,' relied on bloodline to quickly achieve Demigod status.

"Above pure-Blood Sky Serpent, there is an even more powerful bloodline." Chou Bingzun said slowly, "It is called the 'Holy Blood Sky Serpent,' which is on par with the Divine Dragon Clan’s 'Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.' It is one of the most powerful bloodlines in the Divine Realm… If born with this bloodline, once matured, they will become a Peak True Deity in the future, and there is a slight chance of becoming a Heavenly Deity."

"On our Civilization Mothership, we carry an egg of a 'Holy Blood Sky Serpent,' which was given to me by the clan elders when we fled from the Sky Serpent Holy Temple during that great battle." Chou Bingzun said in a low voice, "During that battle, our Heavenly Deities were all being targeted By The Enemies, Making It Difficult For Them To Escape. We True Deities, On the Other Hand, Had a Certain Chance To Escape."

"This is a major hope for the rebirth of our Serpent Clan."

Li Yuan was stunned.

In the Mortal Realm, how many civilizations, from their rise to their decline and destruction, might not even produce a single True Deity.

But this so-called 'Holy Blood Sky Serpent' would naturally Grow to Become a Peak True Deity in the future? It’s too Unfair, Too Exaggerated.

"Venerable."

"SinceThat’sTheCase, WhyNotLetThisHolyBloodSkySerpentEggHatch?" Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

"No."

"SinceIt’sAnOutsider, EvenIfItHatchesHere, ItWon’tReceiveThisDimensionalRealm’sPrimordialRecognition."

"Chou Bingzun shook his head and said, "Then, it will still be suppressed and rejected, making it difficult to grow peacefully in this dimensional realm."

"Secondly, when it enters the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain in the future, it will also be rejected." Chou Bingzun explained.

"Rejected?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"The Immortal Burial Ancient Domain contains a powerful Primordial Energy. Since it has gradually stabilized over a long period, it indicates that it has merged with the Primordial Energy of this dimensional realm." The Black Snake Shadow elaborated, "Like you, as a native life of this dimensional realm, even if you grow to become a Heavenly Deity, you will only be suppressed and not rejected... You are like a child nurtured by the Primordial Energy."

"But outsiders, if they go against some rules of the universe, they may even be suppressed or killed."

"Even a Heavenly Deity can't enter." The Black Snake Shadow added.

Li Yuan understood.

Chou Bingzun wanted to transform this 'Sacred Blood Serpent Egg' into a 'native life'?

Then, once this Sacred Blood Serpent grows slightly, its chances of obtaining treasures in the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain would greatly increase.

The probability of it becoming a Heavenly Deity would likely increase as well.

"Venerable, what specifically do you want me to do?" Li Yuan asked.

"Become the nurturing vessel for this 'Sacred Blood Serpent Egg'," Chou Bingzun said in a deep voice, "and form a 'Bloodline Affinity' with it. This way, once it hatches, it will be like your half-child."

"It will also become your 'Contracted Spirit Beast'."

"In the future, once it reaches its peak, it will definitely rely on you tremendously, helping you traverse the Divine Realm."

"I've also left many treasures for you, to help you grow faster," Chou Bingzun said.

Li Yuan listened in astonishment.

So, he was supposed to make this unborn Sacred Blood Serpent his Spirit Beast?

And there were even treasures involved?

It seemed like there were only benefits!

"What will you get out of this?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

There were always benefits and drawbacks.

"You nurture it, and since you are a native life, it will receive nourishment from your soul and bloodline, and it can also gain recognition from the Primordial Energy of this dimensional realm," Chou Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, "This way, when you work together to enter the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain in the future, your chances of success will greatly increase."

Li Yuan didn't speak up; if this was the only reason, it was far from enough.

"Additionally."

"I need you to make two Law Oaths." Chou Bingzun said, "First, you must do your best to protect it during its growth process and help it become a 'Heavenly Deity'. Of course, it is destined to reach the peak of True Deity, and your main task is to protect it and prevent it from being hunted down by powerful beings in the Divine Realm."

"After all, the Heavenly Serpent Clan was destroyed, but the enemy has not disappeared... It's only been ten thousand years, and they are most likely still hunting down the remnants of the Serpent Clan."

"Second, once it becomes a Heavenly Deity in the future, you must help it rebuild the Serpent Clan."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

It seemed that everything Chou Bingzun had done was for the reconstruction of the Serpent Clan; this should be his obsession.

"Everything has been told to you."

"Make your choice!"

"If you agree, the numerous heritage treasures I've prepared will satisfy you," Chou Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, "But if you disagree, I'll send you away."

The empty hall became quiet.

Chou Bingzun and the black shadow waited for Li Yuan's response.

"Agree or disagree?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly; agreeing now seemed to be all benefits.

The real drawbacks would come in the future!

Later, if he were to enter the Divine Realm, the moment the formidable force that destroyed the Serpent Clan discovered him, they would undoubtedly hunt him down relentlessly... It would be like making a formidable enemy prematurely.

According to Chou Bingzun, could it be that the enemy was too powerful for even the Serpent Clan's Heavenly Deities? How terrifying was their power?

Li Yuan still had aspirations for the Divine Realm.

But!

Regardless of the pros and cons, did he have a choice? If he disagreed, Li Yuan didn't think Chou Bingzun would let him leave.

Now that he had obtained the Heaven Wind Spirit and knew the secret, could he refuse and expect to leave unscathed? It would be like asking for trouble!

At this moment, Li Yuan also understood why Chou Bingzun had repeatedly reminded him about choices earlier.

Sometimes, once a decision was made, there was no turning back.

Moreover, this deal wasn't bad at all.

No matter how powerful the Serpent Clan's enemy was, they were still in the Divine Realm. Only when Li Yuan entered the Divine Realm would they pose a threat to him.

"I agree," Li Yuan said.

"Good." A smile appeared on Chou Bingzun's face, "Then, let's start with the two Law Oaths."

Whoosh~

Chou Bingzun waved his hand, and a light screen projection formed, displaying the oath.

Li Yuan confirmed it and quickly made the Law Oath.

Just like the previous oath, he didn't feel anything.

"Next, we'll nurture the 'Sacred Blood Serpent', and the entire process is estimated to take three months," Chou Bingzun said, "During this time, it will be hard for you to be distracted, and the process will be a bit torturous. I hope you can endure it."

"Three months?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised, "That long?"

"It's already very short." The Black Snake Shadow laughed, "This is with everything prepared in advance."

"Alright."

"But before we begin, I want to send a message back first." Li Yuan said in a deep voice, "I haven't returned for so long, and I'm afraid the higher-ups of my homeland civilization will think something happened to me and worry."
