A martial arts manual at the peak of the Earth-rank could even have a chance to break through the shackles and evolve into a Heaven-rank martial arts manual, transforming into a giant beast, the Purple-Winged Heaven-Swallowing Python. This was a legendary existence that could compete with the Giant Dragon and the Divine Phoenix. Even a manual created just by observing it would be a priceless treasure.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the sparkling and translucent animal skin scroll in Venerable Purple Snake's hands. He wanted nothing more than to snatch it from his hands. Compared to this Heavenly Python Skill, all the martial arts manuals in his Guyuan Tribe were trash. They could not be compared at all. Perhaps only the Purple-Gold Battle Body in his martial arts space could surpass it. However, this Purple-Gold Battle Body was a remnant. Perhaps only by gathering all the missing parts would one know how powerful it was.
"My Purple Snake Tribe relied on this martial arts manual at the peak of the Earth-rank to make a name for itself in the endless wilderness and dominate the land. Now, hundreds of thousands of my tribe members have long been turned to ashes, and our descendants have been extinct for ages. This Heavenly Python Skill has never seen the light of day in my hands. Today, I will pass it to you. I hope that you will not bring shame to this supreme manual. I hope that this Heavenly Python Skill will one day transform into a dragon!"
Venerable Purple Snake could not help but smile at Xiao Chen's gleaming eyes. He had originally thought that this kid had no desires, but he had finally given himself away.
"Thank you, Venerable Purple Snake, for the supreme manual. Xiao Chen will definitely not bring shame to the wisdom of the Purple Snake Tribe's ancestors!"
"My Purple Snake Battle Division is now extinct. There is no longer any distinction between the lineal and the concubine. This' Heavenly Python Spell 'was created by the ancestors of the human race during the Desolate Era. It is a cultivation method for the human race to defend against the foreign races. Therefore, I hope that thou canst practice this cultivation method well and carry on the undying will of the human race. Conquer the world and protect the human race from extinction!
"Xiao Chen will remember Senior's teachings!"
"In that war, my Purple Snake Tribe could be said to have exhausted all of its resources. In order to prevent some important ancient books from being lost, this old man had already stored some of the tribe's most important ancient books, secret techniques, martial techniques, and weapons in my storage bracelet before the war. After all, cultivation techniques are different from other things. They are the foundation of a tribe. With these ancient books, even if all the resources of my Purple Snake Tribe were to be exhausted, my tribe would still have a chance to make a comeback. However, I didn't expect that plans couldn't keep up with the changes. That war would be so tragic. In the end, this old man had no choice but to become a butcher and turn hundreds of thousands of members of my Purple Snake Tribe into blood bait.
I wiped out all the descendants of my tribe and let these ancient books follow me into the endless darkness! "As Venerable Purple Snake spoke, the bronze bracelet on his wrist emitted a faint glow. Rolls of animal skin scrolls kept appearing in his hands. As he looked at the scrolls of martial and cultivation technique ancient books, Xiao Chen's originally bright eyes were now burning with a raging fire. It couldn't be helped. Who asked our Gu Yuan Tribe to have such a shallow and poor foundation?
"Although these ancient books aren't as precious as the Purple Snake Tribe's most treasured cultivation technique, they are still priceless treasures. Most of these are Earth-rank martial arts ancient books. As for those below the Earth-rank, I don't have any of them except for some special Human Rank cultivation techniques!"
At that moment, the only thought in Xiao Chen's mind was to recklessly waste natural resources. As a member of a high-rank tribe, he didn't know the hardships of the people of the great wilderness. A Human Rank cultivation technique was enough to support a low-rank combat division. However, in the eyes of Venerable Purple Snake, a Human Rank cultivation technique was just a fleeting thing that could be discarded casually. For example, the founder of the Black Snake Tribe had only obtained an incomplete cultivation technique from the outskirts of this underground city. Yet, he was able to suppress 800 years of ancient tribe members underground after developing for only a hundred years.
In just a short while, Xiao Chen had already regained his senses. At this moment, these Earth-rank cultivation technique ancient books would belong to the Gu Yuan Tribe in the future. They would become the foundation of the Gu Yuan Tribe's rise. After putting the cultivation technique ancient books that Venerable Purple Snake had taken out to one side, Xiao Chen didn't get carried away and put them into the space of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. After all, that was the biggest secret of his arrival on this mainland. It was also the place where he had settled down. How could he expose it so easily?
Just as Xiao Chen was lovingly putting the martial arts technique ancient books to one side, a three-foot-long Purple Snake Sword suddenly appeared in Venerable Purple Snake's hand. The entire sword was like a flying python with its two wings as a guard. At the tip of the sword, the python roared towards the sky. Even so, there wasn't a trace of malevolence in it. Instead, it gave off a formless majesty. In Xiao Chen's perception, this sword was faintly emitting a formless aura. This aura was extremely mysterious and majestic.
Venerable Purple Snake's hands gently touched the Purple Snake Sword. His eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Your weapon is a spear. It seems that you have no fate with my Purple Snake Sword!"
"This Purple Serpent Sword is this old man's personal weapon. The number of strange races that have died under this Purple Serpent Sword is uncountable. The treasured sword has a spirit. I hope you can choose a successor for it. After all, the Purple Serpent Sword has been buried underground for tens of thousands of years. The world has long forgotten its name!"
"Senior, this Purple Snake Sword …"
"Boy Xiao Chen, do you know who the inheritors of the Battle Name are?"
"I do. Could this Purple Snake Sword be an Inheritance Divine Weapon?"
"That's right, this Purple Serpent Sword is an inherited divine weapon. This old man is the ninth generation Purple Serpent Sword's successor, Venerable Purple Serpent. This old man has poured all the inheritance of the Purple Serpent Sword into this Purple Serpent Sword. I hope you can choose a qualified tenth generation successor for this sword!"
Inheritance Divine Weapon, Purple Snake Sword!
The so-called Battle Name was not something that could be obtained by having a powerful bloodline or an illustrious background. The so-called Battle Name was the name of battle. Only by slaughtering millions of foreign tribes in the war against the foreign tribes and obtaining the recognition of the Human Tribe's destiny could one be born with the Battle Name. Having a Battle Name was equivalent to obtaining the blessing of the Human Tribe's destiny. It had unimaginable benefits for the cultivation of martial arts. However, slaughtering millions of foreign tribes was a path stained with blood. Since ancient times, the Human Tribe had resisted the encirclement of hundreds of races with their own strength. There had never been a lack of blood and slaughter.
Even with Xiao Chen's current state of mind, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Slaughtering millions of foreign tribes was a magnificent feat. It would most likely cause rivers of blood and mountains of white bones to flow. Those who could reach this step were naturally the strongest of the strongest. Slaughtering so many foreign tribes would naturally obtain the recognition of the Human Tribe's destiny. They would be famous for their battles. They would be able to walk through the Great Wilderness and fight all over the land, protecting the Human Tribe's inheritance from destruction.
The so-called Battle Name Inheritance was when the ancestor with the Battle Name used a special method to pass the Battle Name to the next generation, so that the blessing of the Human Tribe's destiny would be transferred to the next inheritor. Of course, if the next generation was unable to inherit the ancestor's will, the Battle Name Inheritance would automatically disappear, and the blessing would automatically return to the Human Tribe.
