The Spirit Snake was born with a careless temperament. Occasionally teasing him would bring some joy to his peaceful cultivation life. However, in this dangerous situation, I was more concerned about his cultivation base. After he calmed down, I walked over and asked him, "Did your power increase after you transformed?" "Did you get stronger after that transformation?"
The Snake Spirit didn't respond to my words at all. It only lifted its head to look at me. After a long while, it slapped its leg with its meaty little hand and stared at me with its big eyes. "This isn't scientific. This isn't scientific at all. It has only been a few months. Tong Tong was already about to reach the Sky Master rank. It's normal for him to reach the Sky Master rank now. But you're young … You, you weren't even at the complete Glory of Knowledge. How did you reach the Sky Master rank?
This fellow understood cultivation matters. I didn't tease him and smiled. "I'm only at Glory of Knowledge Completion, not Sky Master rank."
The Snake Spirit's eyes opened wider after I said that.
"What?
You haven't reached Sky Master rank?
Then why was your aura so terrifying?
Could it be that I saw wrongly?
Impossible, I definitely didn't see wrongly! "
The Snake Spirit's temper was really unparalleled. Hearing his words, Tong Tong, who was standing not far from him, glared at him. I quickly waved my hand at her to let the Snake Spirit escape. In the end, this fellow didn't even notice and continued to boast shamelessly.
"After I transformed, my power increased again. I'm afraid I'm not far from transforming into a real dragon. Humph, don't try to lie to me. You clearly showed your Sky Master cultivation!"
I have a rough understanding of the matter of a serpent spirit transforming into a dragon. It is roughly equivalent to a human cultivator ascending to immortality … This is basically a legend. Although there are many stories of ascending to immortality in history, in reality, those are just legends. There are no records of actual ascension to immortality.
Humans were the leader of all living things. It was already so difficult to ascend, let alone the Snake Spirit. Hence, he was just bragging.
I slapped him again. After I asked him again, the Snake Spirit told me that his power had indeed increased after transforming. He was close to a human Sun God Celestial Master.
After hearing what he said, my heart suddenly stirred. I hurriedly asked him, "Is your transformation equivalent to a human Heavenly Master condensing his Yang Spirit?"
The Snake Spirit nodded. "More or less. However, you human beings are blessed by God. The Yang Spirit has countless magical uses. Even if I become a human being, I just got rid of the shackles of the body and barely caught up with the starting line of the human Master of Heaven."
It was rare for him to be so humble. I was shocked.
Although I haven't reached the Heavenly Master Realm yet, I know how difficult it is for humans to condense their Yang Spirit. Even if it's a genius, it's normal for it to take a few years. For those with mediocre aptitudes, it's very difficult for them to cross this hurdle in their lifetime. But this fellow, the Snake Spirit, has actually completed this step in just a few months!
Even if it was easier for him to transform than for humans to condense their Yang Spirit, this speed was still terrifying.
Of course, after the initial shock, my heart was filled with joy.
Being in the Corpse Sect, I was still afraid a few days ago and wanted to escape. But now, it seemed that I had the power to contend against the Heavenly Master. The evil sacrificial spirit was an existence even more terrifying than the Heavenly Master. I also had Tong Tong, the Snake Spirit, and the mysterious Jiang Dongcheng.
Conservatively speaking, I had five Great Heavenly Masters by my side. Apart from the Ancestor, I was afraid that the Elders of the Corpse Sect combined wouldn't necessarily be my opponent.
Even if the Ancestor in the Heavenly Yin Cave had a terrifying cultivation base, it wouldn't be difficult for us to save our lives with our cultivation base.
Suddenly, my heart calmed down a lot. In the next few days, I urged Tong Tong and the Snake Spirit to stabilize their cultivation base and told them about the dangers we might encounter in the future.
Tong Tong had always been obedient. No matter how dangerous it was, as long as I told her to do it, she wouldn't refuse.
The Snake Spirit, on the other hand, didn't seem to care. After hearing me mention the terrifying Ancestor, he curled his lips and said disdainfully, "What bullshit Ancestor? That's because he hasn't met this Lord Snake yet. After meeting me, he will understand who the Ancestor is."
With such a clown around, even my mood became relaxed, no longer as solemn as before. Every day, I chatted with the Snake Spirit. Soon, the Hungry Ghost Festival arrived.
Temple Master Liu had already informed us of the date of the final competition. That morning, I took the evil sacrificial spirit and went to the Upper Hall to gather. About eighty people from the Black Zombie Cave had entered the top one hundred of the Second Era Group. After we gathered, the Temple Master of the Upper Hall, Hu Daren, led us to the Upper Hall of the Purple Zombie Cave. That was the place where the final competition would be held.
The Purple Zombie Cave's Upper Hall was much larger than the Black Zombie Cave's Upper Hall. After we arrived, there were already several hundred people gathered there. Hu Daren brought us to meet with the other twenty people from the Second Era Group and waited for the official start of the final competition.
The other 20 people from the Second Era Group were all from the Purple Zombie Cave. To be able to reach the Glorious Knowledge Realm before the age of 30, these people were the geniuses of the Yin Corpse Sect. The Second Era Group's ranking would basically come from among them.
Of course, this was only the general situation. From Wang Lin's memories, I knew that the Corpse Sect had disciples from the Black Zombie Cave who used their own corpse puppets to defeat disciples from the Purple Zombie Cave. However, in the history of the Corpse Sect, there had never been a top three disciple from the Second Era Group.
I've already decided that I'll get into the top three. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll definitely set a new record for the Corpse Sect in this competition.
While I was pondering this matter, a tall youth wearing a white robe suddenly stood out from the 20 people from the Purple Zombie Cave. With an arrogant expression, he asked the people from the Black Zombie Cave, "Who is Wang Lin?"
Everyone's gazes turned to me. Only then did I react. I raised my head and faintly smiled at him. "I'm Wang Lin. What business does senior apprentice brother have with me?"
The tall youth coldly smiled. "I heard that you defeated Zhang Tianqi, who was at the mid stage of Glorious Memory, with only five meridians. You also killed his corpse puppet... In this competition, you are the only one in the Black Zombie Cave who isn't trash. However... Relying on a corpse puppet to win against a Glorious Memory cultivator doesn't mean you can win against everyone. Let's see the results in the arena."
After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and returned to the crowd.
I was confused as I didn't know what he meant. At that moment, a disciple of the Black Zombie Cave walked over and whispered to me that this person was a genius of the Purple Zombie Cave. His name was Chen Fenglin. He was only 23 years old this year, but he had a late stage Glorious Memory cultivation. A lot of people thought that he was the number one genius of the Corpse Sect. The sect head, Yu Wenming, had said that he had a high chance of reaching the Heaven's Master stage before the age of 30.
After hearing his explanation, I roughly understood that this guy was wary of me. Although I only showed that I was only at the pressure point realm, there were disciples in the history of the Corpse Sect who relied on a corpse puppet to become an elder. If my corpse puppet was too strong, I could still steal his position as the number one genius.
Also, he relied on his own cultivation to get to where he was today, so he more or less looked down on me for relying on a corpse puppet.
I faintly smiled. He was just an arrogant little guy. I didn't need to bother with him.
Of course, if he blocked my path in the arena, this so-called number one genius of the Corpse Sect would die prematurely.
My heart was calm, but the other disciples of the Black Zombie Cave, who were called trash by Chen Fenglin, were all angry. They all cheered for me and encouraged me to teach this number one genius a lesson.
Not long after, a loud shout suddenly came from the arena. "Silence!"
Hearing this voice, I looked at the arena. The one who shouted was Lord Hu, who had brought us here. There were three people standing behind him.
One was my cheap teacher, Lin Xue, and the other was Senior Brother Zhao, whom I had met in her cave.
The last person was Xu Wei's father, Xu Yingqu.
