章節 158: Chapter 157: Hand It Over!
"That's right, Patriarch Yao Ming, be careful from now on and don't let similar events happen again!"
As Yao Ming was basking in the joy of reclaiming his position, Jiang Yun's calm voice pulled him back to reality.
Yao Ming, who had been lost in reverie, immediately displayed an Oscar-worthy expression change. He turned towards Jiang Yun and his party, who had somehow appeared in the great hall, with a fawning smile and respectfully said,
"It's all thanks to the Young Master. If it weren't for your help, I would still be suffering in the Nine Nether Yellow Spring. For your life-saving grace, Yao Ming will be entirely loyal, and the Nine Nether Earth Yellow Python will henceforth respect the Young Master as supreme!"
Medusa and the others exchanged glances, shocked at Yao Ming's sycophantic behavior, while Jiang Yun's expression turned peculiar, realizing that Yao Ming was indeed an interesting character.
"Yao Ming, Qing Lin is a Green Snake Three Flower Pupils bearer. You know what to do." Faced with Yao Ming's attempts to curry favor, Jiang Yun looked at him with his dark eyes, his voice calm.
"Green Snake Three Flower Pupils!" Yao Ming shuddered, looking with terror at Qing Lin, a mere Dou Huang ant. No one knew better than him about the overwhelming suppression of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils upon snake-type magical beasts. Except for a few ancient bloodlines like the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and Ancient Heaven Serpent, all other snake-type beasts were thoroughly suppressed by it.
The truth was that Green Snake Three Flower Pupils was a kind of bloodline regression, comparable to divine bloodlines in humans, but because it was a magical beast bloodline, it was even more suppressive.
Yao Ming remained silent for quite a while under the gaze of several people, and finally, stammered, "But—"
Glancing at the struggling Yao Ming, Jiang Yun said calmly, "Now that you have reclaimed the position of patriarch, there must be remnants of Yao Xiaotian's supporters. You wouldn't have any qualms about them, would you?"
The Nine Nether Earth Yellow Pythons had only Yao Ming as a Dou Sheng. Without his control, who knew how long it would take for Qing Lin to become a Dou Sheng.
Jiang Yun never expected the Nine Nether Earth Yellow Python tribe to directly elevate Qing Lin to the level of a Dou Sheng; half-saint was his goal for her.
"Alright!" Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Yao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Traitors weren't worth grieving over.
"Understood!" Bowing to Jiang Yun, Yao Ming replied gratefully.
He knew that with Qing Lin's Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, Jiang Yun could forcefully unify the Nine Nether Earth Yellow Python, but he still chose him, which made Yao Ming feel both grateful and warned himself internally.
This would be the only time. In the future, he must never negotiate with Jiang Yun again because Jiang Yun already had the power to make his life a living hell.
"Take us to the Yellow Spring Stele!" Jiang Yun said calmly, glancing at Yao Ming.
"Yes!" Yao Ming's body trembled at the words, but he hesitated only for a moment before leading the way to the depths of the Nine Nether Earth Yellow Pythons' ancestral grounds.
During the journey, Jiang Yun explained the legend of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint to Medusa and the others.
"Who would've thought that the Nine Nether Earth Yellow Python tribe had the inheritance of a half-emperor? Why would a human leave his inheritance in the ancestral grounds of the Nine Nether Earth Yellow Pythons?" Little Doctor Fairy asked curiously after hearing the story of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint.
"You might not know, although the Yellow Spring Demon Saint was not of our tribe, he had a significant connection to us. When this peerless figure fell, his inheritance faded over time. Only our Nine Nether Earth Yellow Python tribe's inheritance has been passed down till now," Yao Ming enthusiastically answered Little Doctor Fairy's question. After all, she was the Young Master's confidante and half a master herself, so he could not neglect her.
"And I wonder if Uncle Zhukun and this Yellow Spring Demon Saint, who is stronger?" At that moment, Qing Lin spoke mischievously, winking at Jiang Yun.
"His Imperial Majesty Dragon Emperor is invincible!" Zhufeng's voice immediately followed, full of unwavering confidence.
Yao Ming shuddered uncontrollably. The information was too much to process. Had he misunderstood it? Was the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon truly a half-emperor?
It was too shocking. What was the true strength of the Ancient Void Dragon clan? The status of the three major magical beast tribes suddenly seemed diminished in comparison. Had the Ancient Void Dragon clan been hiding their strength all these years?
"We're almost there!"
Jiang Yun did not refute Zhufeng's words. Although Zhukun was the strongest among the three nine-star Dou Sheng peaks, he might still be a bit short of being a half-emperor. Regardless, it wasn't necessary to dwell on this, as his eyes fixed on the distant ancient altar, speaking softly.
Immediately, the attention of everyone was drawn to the ancient altar in the distance.
The altar was extremely magnificent, entirely built from cyan-colored giant stones. Standing atop it was enough to overlook the surrounding mountains.
Jiang Yun and his party slowly landed at the top of the altar, where in its center stood a towering, pale yellow stone stele, exuding an eternal and ancient aura.
"Young Master, this is the Yellow Spring Stele!" Yao Ming pointed at the enormous stele, smiling at Jiang Yun.
Everyone's gaze fell on the Yellow Spring Stele, their expressions turning grave. From it, they could sense an overwhelmingly strong soul pressure.
Little Doctor Fairy looked at the massive finger and palm imprints on the stele with confusion and asked, "What is that?"
Yao Ming explained, "The Yellow Spring Demon Saint had three famous combat skills: Yellow Spring Finger, Yellow Spring Palm, and Yellow Spring Heaven's Fury, all of which are heaven-ranked combat skills. Yellow Spring Heaven's Fury is even a high-level heaven-ranked combat skill. Those finger and palm imprints are the inheritance of the first two!"
"Heaven-ranked high-level combat skill!"
The group couldn't help but be moved, even Zhufeng was no exception. Heaven-ranked high-level combat skills were incredibly precious, even within the Ancient Void Dragon clan.
"But why is there no trace of Yellow Spring Heaven's Fury cultivation method?" Qing Lin pointed at the stone stele, looking at Yao Ming.
Sighing heavily, Yao Ming answered with regret, "Although Yellow Spring Heaven's Fury is powerful, obtaining its inheritance is extremely difficult. It lies deep within the stele, and over the years, no one in our tribe has passed the test."
"Moreover, the stele contains the essence blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint. Because of the fear of damaging it, no one has dared to forcibly break it open."
Hearing about the essence blood of a half-emperor, everyone was taken aback. Even top experts like Zhukun would be interested in it. The Yellow Spring Demon Saint was an undeniable behemoth of a half-emperor strong enough to dominate an era. His bloodline had achieved an almost miraculous state.
"Jiang Yun, the Nine Nether Earth Yellow Python tribe has many Dou Sheng experts who couldn't obtain the Yellow Spring Heaven's Fury. You shouldn't take the risk. We don't lack a high-level heaven-ranked combat skill!" Medusa advised Jiang Yun, her voice full of concern.
Following her words, Qing Lin and Little Doctor Fairy also tried to dissuade him.
"Jiang Yun, think it over. If even Dou Sheng experts haven't succeeded, it must be extremely dangerous. There's no need to risk it for essence blood and a high-level heaven-ranked combat skill!" Little Doctor Fairy anxiously urged Jiang Yun.
"Yes, Medusa and Little Doctor Fairy are right. We don't need it, Jiang Yun," Qing Lin added, even suggesting, "Uncle Zhukun is a nine-star Dou Sheng and an Ancient Void Dragon. If you need essence blood, his won't be inferior to the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's!"
"Young Master, we can invite His Imperial Majesty, Dragon Emperor. He would surely be interested in the inheritance of a half-emperor!" Zhufeng suggested hesitantly.
"After years of probing, we believe it requires at least the mid to late phase of the soul realm to pass the test and obtain Yellow Spring Heaven's Fury and the essence blood. Though young master's soul level is approaching peak spirit realm, it's still insufficient. Please proceed with caution!" Yao Ming earnestly advised, genuinely worried for Jiang Yun's safety, as any mishap could have catastrophic consequences for their entire tribe.
But to no avail.
Jiang Yun looked at the worried Medusa and the others with ease, "Don't worry, I have a plan. I wouldn't do anything I'm not confident about."
"But—" Medusa attempted to dissuade him once more.
However, Jiang Yun gently grasped her hand and spoke softly, "Don't you know my true capabilities?"
Hearing this, Medusa thought of the Celestial Tower and felt reassured. Feeling Jiang Yun's warm hand, her heart raced, and she quickly pulled her hand back.
Seeing Medusa relax, Qing Lin and Little Doctor Fairy could only trust Jiang Yun despite their anxiety.
With Medusa's approval, Yao Ming had no additional means to stop Jiang Yun and could only pray for the success of this extraordinary young man.
Jiang Yun nodded to the group, then moved to a stone dais in front of the stele, sitting cross-legged as his soul surged forth.
Boom!
A tempestuous roar echoed as a soul storm spiraled up. A phantom figure coalesced, then flashed toward the stele.
The stele's surface rippled like liquid, and Jiang Yun's soul entered it directly.
Boom!
Within the faintly yellow space where clouds roiled and thunder roared, Jiang Yun's arrival was marked by a thunderous sword-like strike from the sky.
"What a grand greeting!" Jiang Yun chuckled, waving his hand to unleash black-and-white flames, which snuffed out the lightning like candle flames.
Boom!
A more ferocious attack surged forth, with the deep yellow clouds churning as a massive hundred-zhang deep yellow energy finger appeared, exuding a dominating might.
Jiang Yun squinted, and with a flash of a purple vertical eye at his brow, a voracious soul force condensed into a flying sword, thrusting towards the Yellow Spring Finger.
Boom!
The space quaked, with deep yellow energy dissipating and spatial fissures forming. The two attacks simultaneously vanished.
"You're impressive, blocking my attacks with peak spirit realm soul force!"
Right then, a distant, ethereal voice spoke. The clouds parted to reveal a mountain peak emerging with a throne atop, where a figure draped in yellow sat, commanding a presence that made heaven and earth tremble.
"Yellow Spring Demon Saint!" Jiang Yun gazed calmly at the legendary half-emperor figure.
"Impressive, youngster. But you're premature. Leave now; this isn't your place." The Yellow Spring Demon Saint's voice carried a calm yet overwhelming soul pressure and a tinge of admiration.
"Since I've come, I won't leave empty-handed." Jiang Yun smiled lightly, speaking confidently.
"Then die for your insolence!" The Yellow Spring Demon Saint's expression turned cold, unleashing a sharp soul attack towards Jiang Yun like a blade.
"Is that all you've got? Show me your real skills!" Jiang Yun smiled again, waving his sleeve as vast black-and-white flames formed a yin-yang symbol, blocking the incoming attacks.
"You're not from Dou Qi Continent!"
Suddenly the Yellow Spring Demon Saint stood, his gaze cold as the surrounding space shattered, "Outsider, you must die!"
Brimming with anger, he swiftly formed a peculiar seal, filling the space with apocalyptic vibrations and immense spatial fissures.
"Yellow Spring Heaven's Fury…"
"Yellow Spring Heaven's Fury? Hand it over!"
