#1822 - Swallowing the sky does not turn into a dragon! Growth has no fixed pattern!
"Damn it, who the hell is this...? Was I schemed against again by some old geezer? They could foresee that I would come here, and even calculate the approximate time. Could it be the Time Law Master again?" Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
"No, it's not the Time Law Master. This doesn't seem like the Time Law Master's style, but rather a creature truly living in the Third Heaven."
"How are you so sure?" Qingfeng asked.
"Intuition. To be precise, it's the intuition of a Heavenly Dao disciple. After becoming a Heavenly Dao disciple, my perception of various things has greatly increased. Even without using the Six爻 Golden Coins, I can roughly sense the good and bad fortune in various directions," Ji Dongfeng said.
"The reason I didn't go to the Dragon Clan's treasure vault first was because I vaguely felt that I should immediately depart for the Python Clan. If all of this is the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, then this giant tortoise might really want to help me, but the way it's doing it is just too cruel."
"My lord, have you discovered anything?" Ao Rui asked.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, "Let's see what that ritual is first."
Ao Rui nodded upon hearing this and looked at Mang Xu, saying coldly, "Continue the ritual, but you are not allowed to participate."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick rope appeared in Ao Rui's hand. The rope trembled slightly and directly tied Mang Xu up securely.
"This is the Dragon Binding Rope. If you have any bad thoughts, this rope will instantly crush your soul, leaving no chance of survival," Ao Rui said.
Hearing this, Mang Xu's pupils trembled, and he nodded quickly, saying tremblingly, "Please put away the Dragon Clan's aura. This ritual requires the joint efforts of the surrounding Python Clan members."
The next moment, Ao Rui retracted his aura, and the surrounding Earth Python Clan members stood together.
"Begin!" All the Earth Pythons roared in unison, and drops of blood emerged from their bodies, eventually transforming into a blood python phantom that drilled into the formation above the sky.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the formation trembled crazily, and sixteen python phantoms with different bloodlines slowly emerged, circling around the formation.
Seeing this, Mang Xu's eyes turned red, and a trace of unwillingness emerged in his heart. But as soon as this feeling appeared, he felt a sharp pain in his soul and almost fainted!
"Damn it... just one step away... Why...? Why! Damn tortoise! You clearly said that I would definitely be able to possess the most perfect python bloodline!" Mang Xu roared in his heart.
"That evil tortoise didn't deceive you. By contributing your Earth Python bloodline, your bloodline will become a part of this perfect bloodline. Rounding it off, you can be considered to have it," Ji Dongfeng looked at Mang Xu and sneered. He could completely sense any thoughts in Mang Xu's heart.
Hearing this, Mang Xu was stunned at first, then his expression changed drastically. He was just about to speak when he saw Ji Dongfeng turn his head to look at the Devouring Heaven Python.
"Little Devourer, go up there, to the very center," Ji Dongfeng said.
Hearing this, the Devouring Heaven Python's eyes lit up, and it roared excitedly before flying directly to the center of the formation!
"Buzz!"
The moment the Devouring Heaven Python entered the formation, the rotation speed of the formation suddenly increased, and the surrounding sixteen python phantoms also slowed down. Ji Dongfeng could tell at a glance that only one last bloodline was needed for the ritual to be completely completed.
The next moment, Ji Dongfeng looked at Mang Xu, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said, "Come on, it's time for you to contribute to the Python Clan."
Hearing this, Mang Xu trembled all over and roared with despair, "No! It shouldn't be like this! Our Earth Python Clan has always lived at the bottom of the Python Clan! We have done so much hard work for the Python Clan! But we have never received any rewards! Now there is finally a chance to turn things around! Why! Why do you have to take this opportunity away! This ritual is being held for me! For me!"
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Rui swept his dragon tail and directly sent Mang Xu flying. This tail almost shattered Mang Xu's physical body!
"The more you are at the bottom, the more you must walk the great path, the more unwilling you are, the more you must act justly. Satisfying your own selfish desires with the interests of the entire clan, don't say that it's for the entire Earth Python Clan, you are only thinking of yourself," Ao Rui said coldly.
"The Third Heaven Python Clan has been severely damaged and needs a better clan leader. I think this Devouring Heaven Python is very suitable. Mang Xu, offer your bloodline and enter reincarnation early. Perhaps in the next life, you may live more clearly."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Mang Xu could react, the golden dragon phantom behind Ao Rui reappeared. Under the effect of this golden dragon phantom, Mang Xu screamed, and his bloodline was instantly extracted. A black python phantom roared and flew into the formation!
"Boom!"
At the moment when all the Python Clan bloodlines were gathered, the formation was shrouded in a cyan light, and the seventeen python bloodline phantoms all drilled into the Devouring Heaven Python's body!
"Roar!"
"Little Devourer won't directly evolve into a dragon, will he?" Ji Dongfeng said.
Hearing this, Ao Rui chuckled and said, "My lord, this Devouring Heaven Python is an absolute anomaly among the Python Clan. They will never become dragons."
"Then isn't that a disadvantage?" Ji Dongfeng said.
"Not at all, quite the opposite. For the vast majority of snakes and pythons, becoming a dragon is naturally an supreme honor, but it also means that the limit that the Dragon Clan can reach is their limit. But for anomalies like the Devouring Heaven Python, they are walking a completely different path. It has no limit," Ao Rui said.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice, "That makes sense. If growth has a fixed pattern, then that pattern is also a cage."
"That's the truth, my lord. Can you see anything special about this ritual?" Ao Rui asked.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, "This formation is extremely concise. The creature that arranged this ritual is extremely powerful. More importantly, this ritual is specially prepared for the Python Clan. Creatures of other races cannot use it. This means that the giant tortoise is extremely knowledgeable about the Python Clan."
Hearing this, Ao Rui said in a deep voice, "That's right, a giant tortoise that is extremely knowledgeable about the Python Clan, I remember a Third Heaven anomaly... Xuanwu."
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's expression changed slightly.
"The Third Heaven... has a Xuanwu?"
