#1823 - Xuanwu left a message!

“I only heard the name Xuanwu when I was in the First Heaven. At that time, the Dragon Clan launched the Ten Thousand Clans War, leading a portion of the races to fight against the alliance of the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu...” Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice.

“The Xuanwu race is extremely mysterious. Not only are they few in number, but each and every one of them is incredibly powerful. Moreover, according to rumors, each Xuanwu possesses a unique and profound ability. I don't know much about the situation in the First Heaven, but in the Third Heaven, as far as I know, there is only one Xuanwu left, and it doesn't associate much with snakes, pythons, or dragons. Instead, it's closer to the Turtle Clan, but even that is only slightly close, and the relationship isn't even that good,” Ao Rui said.

Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, and he said, puzzled, “Speaking of Xuanwu, there's a saying among mortals about the Four Saints: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu.”

Ao Rui sighed upon hearing this and said, “Those are events from ancient times. The four major races you just mentioned chose to form an alliance when the impure substances first descended, each guarding a direction. However, this alliance was quite loose, and it soon existed only in name. As for the specific reasons why it existed only in name, I'm not clear. If we could find that Xuanwu in the Third Heaven, we might be able to inquire about it.”

“Of course, I have to find that Xuanwu. My Dragon Head Raising is still with it,” Ji Dongfeng chuckled.

Ao Rui was stunned at first, then quickly said, “Ahem, that… Master, what is that Dragon Head Raising…?”

“Oh! Little Devourer is out!” Ji Dongfeng exclaimed, directly ignoring Ao Rui's question.

Hearing this, Ao Rui looked up and was shocked to find that the azure light罩 had completely shattered, and a sky-covering figure roared out from within.

Ji Dongfeng looked closely and found that the Devouring Sky Python had turned azure, its entire body covered in scales that gleamed with a cold light. As it soared through the sky, it had somewhat surpassed the Dragon Clan in terms of imposing manner. What concerned him even more was that he could vaguely see ancient characters on the Devouring Sky Python's scales. These characters seemed to have been carved by ancient giants. Although he couldn't understand their specific meaning, if he stared at them, he would vaguely hear the sound of war drums in his ears!

“Roar!” The Devouring Sky Python roared to the sky, releasing its aura completely. The surrounding Earth Pythons all collapsed to the ground, not even having the courage to look up directly.

Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred. After the bloodline improvement, the Devouring Sky Python's realm had reached the limit of the First Heaven and could undergo tribulation at any time. Once the tribulation was successful, the Devouring Sky Python's strength would increase greatly again.

“Hungry! So hungry!” The Devouring Sky Python roared.

Hearing this, Ao Rui said in a deep voice, “Indeed, it's easy to feel hungry after the bloodline evolves. Immediately bring out all the food reserves of the Python Clan.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Rui waved his hand, and the Earth Pythons immediately felt relieved. They stood up one after another and brought out all kinds of food. The Devouring Sky Python, without saying a word, plunged directly into the food.

“Sin, sin, you can't finish all that, I'll join you!” Seeing this, Cheat Eat Cheat Drink smiled and followed.

Watching the Devouring Sky Python gobbling down the food, Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, “Elder Clan Leader, can you tell which direction it's evolving in?”

Hearing this, Ao Rui shook his head and said, “There's no limit to the growth of the Devouring Sky Python. No one can say for sure which path it will take. However, judging from the momentum it's displaying at the moment, its future achievements will probably surpass most of the Dragon Clan. More importantly, it seems that no creature in the Python Clan has ever been able to gather all the bloodlines. Although this Devouring Sky Python won't transform into a dragon, it's very likely to become the number one creature of the snake, python, and boa race.”

“%$#！ Don't抢 with me!” The Devouring Sky Python roared, swallowing a small mountain of food in one gulp. The scales on its body trembled slightly, and the sound of war drums echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

“So much stuff! How much can I eat! Why are you so stingy!” Cheat Eat Cheat Drink shouted with a resentful look, burying his head in hard eating, and another small mountain quickly disappeared.

Hearing this, the Devouring Sky Python responded and then continued to eat wildly.

“Elder Clan Leader, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the Devouring Sky Python,” Ji Dongfeng said.

“Master is too polite. We are already one family, no need to say more,” Ao Rui said quickly.

“Let's go, let's take a look at this Python Clan Secret Realm, maybe we can find clues left behind by the Xuanwu,” Ji Dongfeng said.

After a few words, under the guidance of the Earth Python, Ji Dongfeng and Ao Rui, along with Little Wind Dragon, arrived at the Python Clan Secret Realm. The so-called Secret Realm was just an independent space hidden in the very center of the Python Clan. The space was filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and everywhere was a beautiful scene, making one's mind peaceful.

“I've also been in this Secret Realm before, and there aren't too many mysteries. However, this is where the Python Clan Leader and elders impart cultivation methods to the Python Clan creatures, so it can be considered sacred,” Ao Rui said.

Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng looked around and found that there was a group of statues in the very center of this space, carved with the portraits of the past Python Clan Leaders.

“This place is extremely important to the Python Clan. Logically speaking, it's impossible to allow creatures of other races to enter, but they allowed that creature that resembled Xuanwu to come in,” Ji Dongfeng said.

Hearing this, Ao Rui said in a deep voice, “Indeed, it's a bit strange, and if it really is Xuanwu, Xuanwu wouldn't attack the Python Clan.”

Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng pondered for a moment, his pupils trembled, and he directly activated his Divine Eye.

“Buzz…”

In the next moment, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, and he discovered that directly above the statues of the past Python Clan Leaders, there was a hidden phantom image. If he hadn't used his Divine Eye, it would have been extremely difficult to discover this phantom image.

“Sure enough, it left something behind,” Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, his figure flickered, and he came near this phantom image, then reached out and touched it.

“Boom!”

At the moment Ji Dongfeng touched this phantom image, the phantom image trembled slightly and transformed into a giant turtle phantom image. This phantom image looked extremely blurry, and only the shape could be vaguely seen. As Python Void had said, behind this giant turtle, there was a large bell.

Seeing this, Ao Rui's heart stirred, and he said, “Although only the shape can be seen clearly, I can be sure that this is Xuanwu!”

“Ji Dongfeng,” Xuanwu slowly spoke.

“Hmm?” Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

“This isn't a real-time voice transmission method, this is Xuanwu's message. It had already calculated that I would come here…” Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice.

“The Dao Sound Bell you are looking for is with me,” Xuanwu's phantom image continued.
