Ten years later, the spring breeze blew again, and the Xishan mountains were clear and cloudless.
Beneath the Tai Chong Peak, countless spiritual snakes coiled, with eight or nine out of ten spiritual snakes within a million-mile radius having gathered.
Therefore, from a height of ten thousand zhang, looking down, with Xishan as the center, the land within a hundred thousand li was covered in snakes of various colors! Covering the sky and the earth, a snake sea stretching for thousands of li!
From foot-long small snakes to hundred-zhang giant pythons, green snakes, white snakes, black snakes, patterned snakes, and even seven-colored giant pythons, venomous snakes, flat-headed snakes, round-headed snakes...
All kinds of snakes coiled themselves into groups, raising their heads towards Xishan.
Such a magnificent sight of millions of snakes coiling for ten thousand zhang, let alone ordinary humans, even any eagle would not dare to dive down. Any non-snake life form that fell into this barren land of ten thousand snakes would have only one fate: devoured by ten thousand snakes!
As the sun slowly set, the Primordial World's night arrived. Even the extreme cold of the night could not freeze the fiery hearts of millions of snake clans.
The moonlight was in the sky, its silver glow spilling for a thousand li.
Qing Ling walked out of Bai Chun Valley. A golden carpet had already been laid out at the valley entrance, winding all the way from the foot of the mountain to the peak of Tai Chong.
A thousand-li golden carpet, a full moon in the sky, and Qing Ling, clad in golden holy attire, walked solemnly out of the valley. The clansmen standing on both sides of the golden carpet turned sideways, lowered their heads, bowed, and saluted.
Already blessed with heavenly beauty, Qing Ling, in this golden robe, gained an extra three parts of divine aura. Already divine, he became even more noble and inviolable!
Qing Ling strode out. Having already burned incense, bathed, purified himself, and composed his demeanor within the valley, he could finally begin.
Qing Ling stepped onto the golden carpet leading to the mountain summit, step by step. This golden path covering the entire mountain was laid out for him alone, and the millions of spiritual snakes of Xishan bowed to him.
On both sides of the golden carpet stood all the shapeshifted members of the clan. As he entered within a hundred zhang, those within a hundred zhang instantly lowered their heads and saluted.
With every step he took, the Four Profound Bells hanging from the four peaks of Xishan would ring once.
"Dong~"
"Dong~"
"Dong~"
Qing Ling's steps were slow. Millions of beings waited for him, and not one dared to express dissatisfaction, only respect!
He stepped onto Xishan, ascending higher and higher towards the peak. The higher he walked, the more he looked up, and the smaller all beings became.
Qing Ling walked eight thousand steps. Eight thousand steps, each different, each with a unique distance, until he finally reached the summit of Xishan!
The bright moon seemed to hang above his head, and the vast sea of stars was magnificent. He could grasp the moon from the nine heavens, and the eight directions bowed to him.
A sacrificial altar was built on the summit of Xishan. The altar was a hundred zhang high and constructed entirely of dark ancient stone. Chi Li and Xu stood on either side of the second step, while Hua Geng stood at the very top of the altar, his face solemn, holding the patriarch's scepter symbolizing ten thousand snakes, and looked at Qing Ling.
The Venerable Xu by his side shouted, "Please, Holy Son, ascend the altar!"
Qing Ling walked onto the altar step by step, his heart filled with immense solemnity. No matter how carefree and relaxed he usually was, in such a solemn occasion, he was the most obedient.
He ascended the altar, his mind solemn, and looked at Grandma Hua Geng.
"Please, Patriarch, perform the ancestral sacrifice and summon the spirits!" declared Venerable Chi Li.
Grandma Hua Geng turned, faced the altar, raised the scepter of ten thousand snakes towards the boundless and endless void ten thousand zhang high. The staff emitted a golden light that illuminated the four peaks of Xishan, as if they were transformed into four golden mountains. The infinite brilliant light made millions of snake clans submit.
Beneath the golden light, from beneath the earth of Xishan, a vast power rose, and a majestic figure appeared in the sky.
His form was tall and majestic, as if reaching the nine heavens. The Tai Yin was his crown, the myriad stars his hair, his head the firmament, his body the void, and his tail the earth. A phantom of a primordial divine demon manifested, its malevolent aura sweeping through the eight directions, alarming the hundred clans of the Eastern Desolation.
Golden Immortals, Grand Unity Immortals, and even several Great Unity Immortals all looked towards the majestic figure on Xishan.
Grandma Hua Geng bowed, "The third-generation patriarch of Xishan, Hua Geng, pays respects to the Primordial Ancestor Tai Geng!"
Millions of snake clans prostrated themselves at the feet of the divine demon, only Qing Ling did not kneel. It wasn't out of any so-called pride, but because he couldn't.
"Has my Xishan declined to this extent?" the supreme divine demon soul that had traversed the Primordial Era swept his gaze across the million-li Xishan and sighed.
Then, a pair of golden eyes looked at Qing Ling and said, "His innate divine origin is indeed extraordinary.
Remember, as my clan's Holy Son, you must stand tall in the heavens and earth for my Xishan, continuing for eternity!
Holy Son Qing Ling, receive my holy radiance, and accept my ancestral seal!"
As the words fell, a magnificent pale golden seal detached from the incomparably majestic figure and entered the square inch between Qing Ling's eyebrows.
Instantly, a vast and boundless connection hung in his heart, the feeling that all snakes under heaven were his to command if he wished!
Following this, the majestic figure detached a supremely powerful and pure torrent of energy, the primordial force of heaven and earth!
Qing Ling felt as if his internal dantian world was no longer raining, but flooding!
An endless tide of spiritual energy surged in his dantian world, restless and almost bursting his body. Fortunately, the ancestral seal of ten thousand snakes on his forehead suppressed it. He desperately controlled his mind, and with the help of the Chun Divine Spark, refined the surging demonic energy within him like the sea.
The majestic figure then pointed at the Yin Moon in the nine heavens, and a void-like voice sounded, "My Xishan snake clan shall resume its primordial glory from this day forth, with heaven and earth as witness, and the Tai Yin as guide!"
As the words fell, in the northeast of the Primordial Great Land, a soaring snake phantom stood between heaven and earth on Fengqi Mountain, representing the king of all snakes under heaven, the chief of all snake clans! The Da Feng Novel Network.
Next, from the distant eastern sea, the luck of the Hai Snake tribe manifested as a giant sea python swimming in the vast ocean, its luck unparalleled.
The phantom of Ancestor Tai Geng sighed upon seeing this and said, "My Xishan is the third ancestral vein of all snake-related beings in the world. Heaven and earth bear witness, Tai Yin is the proof, and Tai Yang shall mete out punishment!"
As the words were spoken, wisps of luck rose from the boundless mountains and rivers in the world and flowed into Xishan. This was the scattered snake luck from all over the world!
The Tai Yin moonlight was the foremost cultivation method for all beasts in the world, holding a supreme position among all beast clans. They worshipped the moon and not the sun, which was the ancient custom of the Primordial Great Land. Thus, Tai Yin became the witness for the covenants and oaths of all clans!
On Xishan, the originally coiled thousand-zhang python of luck transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang sky-devouring giant python after receiving the luck from all directions, shaking the nine heavens.
Ancestor Tai Geng smiled with satisfaction and said, "The future of my Xishan clan lies in your hands!"
As the words fell, the phantom of Ancestor Tai Geng dispersed, turning into streams of light that shot into the bodies of millions of snake clans. Furthermore, a golden core shot into Grandma Hua Geng's forehead.
Above Qing Ling's head, a hundred-zhang python of luck invisible to the eye grew into a magnificent five-hundred-zhang giant python. It was both Qing Ling's python of luck and part of Xishan's python of luck, connected, rising and falling together, and sharing life and death!
