Episode 59: The Reverse Heaven Alliance, Branch Line, Encounter with the Spiritual Snake

  The Blood Escape Technique was indeed extraordinary. Bai Gu Shen Jun and Dan Chen Zi had been fighting for many years, with neither gaining the upper hand, showing that his cultivation was not inferior to Dan Chen Zi's. With his cultivation, he executed the Blood Escape Technique even more swiftly than Huang Meng did in the Nine Underworlds' Yin Corpse Grand Array earlier. In the blink of an eye, he had already escaped hundreds of miles away.

  Xiao Yunfei's spatial power burst into a flash, his figure flickering as he unfolded the Instant Shift Technique, closely pursuing and reappearing, only to find himself having already crossed over that bloody glow. White, cyan, black, red, and yellow - five beams of light swayed back and forth, instantly connecting heaven and earth, stirring up the clouds and winds at the horizon, rolling in reverse.

  Bai Gu Shen Jun was suddenly shocked and lost his color, how could he have expected that even with the Blood Shield Technique, he would still be unable to escape. In his haste, he didn't even have time to react before a five-colored rainbow had already pierced through his body, and with a loud crash, it was as if he had been crushed by a mountain, his body exploding in mid-air, his soul dispersing into nothingness.

  Xiao Yunfei stretched out his hand and grasped, opening up the inner heaven and earth, like the terrifying huge mouth of a ancient giant beast. With just one breath, he swallowed all the remaining spiritual energy of the living beings. The branches of the Ding Tian divine tree spread out in all directions, emitting a faint blue light. Each branch was like a grasping hand, wrapping around the spiritual energy and reversing it back.

  Standing in mid-air, the wind howled and whistled, whipping up Xiao Yunfei's clothes and long hair as they danced in mid-air. His gaze turned cold and sharp, suddenly focusing on a particular spot of empty space. He let out a cold shout: "Come out! I know it's you! Stop hiding and sneaking around! Are you still thinking of taking another hit from my Thunder God Spear?!"

  "Haha... Indeed, you are worthy of being the successor of the previous generation's successful breakthrough and cycle. You are truly extraordinary!"

  In mid-air, a loud laugh burst out, and a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, with a faint spatial force rippling and undulating in the void.

  "The power of space," Xiao Yunfei's face floated with a hint of playful smile, no wonder, last time he discovered his whereabouts, using the power of Tian Shen Lei to condense the Thunder God Spear but didn't hit him.

  "It's just a preliminary understanding, compared to you it's still far away, I'll give you a gift!" The newcomer let out a long whistle and threw something from afar, but his figure was hidden behind a layer of clouds, accompanied by the fluctuation of spatial energy, appearing and disappearing. Obviously, he had a strong sense of vigilance towards Xiao Yunfei and didn't intend to show himself.

  Xiao Yunfei's body remained still, but a silver light flashed and fluttered in the air, wrapping around the black shadow and pulling it over.

  "It's actually Hao Meng?!" Xiao Yunfei had not expected that the Hao Meng who had ambushed him with a fallen divine arrow would appear before his eyes like this. He saw that both of Hao Meng's arms were severed, his face was pale, and his breathing was extremely weak. If it weren't for his deep cultivation, he probably would have stopped breathing already.

  A man burst into a loud laugh and said: "I am 0081, the lone hunter-killer. I'm here to give you a gift on behalf of the Reverse Heaven Alliance. My mission is accomplished, farewell." With that, his figure swiftly disappeared into the endless clouds, accompanied by a faint spatial fluctuation.

  "Rebel Heaven Alliance?!" Xiao Yunfei's eyebrows furrowed subconsciously: "Earlier, a Protect Heaven Clan had already appeared, and now another Rebel Heaven Alliance has emerged. It seems that this reincarnation world is far more complicated than I imagined!" As he sighed, his five fingers clenched into a fist, and the void burst forth with energy, instantly engulfing Huang Meng.

  Since it's a gift for yourself, there's no reason not to accept!

  Among the flashing silver light, Xiao Yunfei's figure emerged in mid-air. Not far away, Dan Chenzi was talking to a red-clothed girl, with a green-clothed woman sitting cross-legged beside them, eyes closed as if meditating. It seemed she had been severely injured while dealing with Bai Gu Shen Jun. As soon as Xiao Yunfei appeared, Dan Chenzi and the red-clothed girl turned their heads to look over.

  Xiao Yunfei saw that the red-clothed girl's gaze was unusual, and just as he was about to pass by, he hadn't even opened his mouth to ask when he saw the red-clothed woman with a face full of shame, anxious and angry, staring at Dan Chenzi: "Big Brother Master, is Qingyun sister okay?"

  Danchenzi frowned and said, "The white bone god's poison is vicious, Qingyun Shimei was secretly calculated by him, although relying on her deep cultivation to temporarily avoid disaster, but wanting to detoxify, only Cui Xianzi's Golden Dragon Fire Lantern can save her!"

  "Ah?" Hong Zhuo's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she couldn't help but say; "Cui Wuguo, that woman has a terrible temper, wanting her Golden Dragon Fire Banner is even harder than ascending to heaven."

  Danzhenzi said: "It's not possible to go for a walk, the distance from Emei Mountain is still thousands of miles away. Qingyun Shimei can't move at all now, and must go to Baiyang Mountain to get the Golden Dragon Fire Banner."

  "Trigger the side quest, borrow the Golden Dragon Fire Banner from White-Haired Dragon Lady Cui Wugou to rescue Qingyun Fairy, complete the task to obtain 5 years of Xianyuan Power and 50,000 points. Non-mandatory task, Chosen Ones can choose to abandon."

  Xiao Yunfei let out a helpless sigh and immediately said, "Dan Chenzi, brother, you and your sister take care of this Qingyun fairy for now. I'll head to Baiyang Mountain to borrow the Golden Dragon Fire Lantern from White-Haired Dragon Girl Cui Wugou."

  "That's even more troublesome."

  Xiao Yunfei said no more, his body suddenly leaped up and transformed into a flowing light, rushing straight towards Baiyang Mountain!

  That Baiyang Mountain is also a famous mountain in the world, so it's not hard to find the path. With the power of space, the technique of moving and shifting is unfolded, and in an instant, I have already flown into the mountains. Baiyang Mountain is located on the border of Guizhou, Guangxi and Yunnan, stretching across thousands of miles of mountains and ridges, with a magnificent momentum. The valleys are all pristine forests where human footprints are rarely seen, extending west to the snow-capped mountains of Yunnan.

  This mountain has been a desolate and unopened land since ancient times, with deep mountains and dense marshes, still hiding countless mountain demons, snakes, and other strange creatures. Only in the north, around the Iron Goose Peak and the Yellow Lion Stockade, do many barbarian tribes from outside gather to live. Moreover, rumors have it that there are immortal caves within the mountain, where a certain White Yang True Man has passed down a collection of divine scriptures, attracting numerous righteous and evil cultivators to spy from afar, making this no ordinary peaceful place to reside.

  Xiao Yunfei's illusory body stood in mid-air, gazing out at the endless forest stretching for thousands of miles, with mountains and ridges crisscrossing each other. He heard the cries of eagles and tigers, as well as the chirping of insects and snakes. However, he had not expected Baiyang Mountain to be so vast, and now he wondered where to find the dwelling place of the White-Haired Dragon Girl Cui Wugou. In his heart, he regretted not asking Dan Chenzi clearly earlier, but it was too late now, and all he could do was rely on his own abilities and luck to slowly search for her.

  Xiao Yunfei raised his hand to block the scorching sunlight, and turned his eyes to look around in all directions. He saw that there was a mountain ridge to the west with an abundance of spiritual energy, which seemed to be a convergence of the earth's veins, and it must have been a blessed place. Xiao Yunfei flew over, but when he arrived at the nearby area, he found that the mountain was shrouded in mist, with dense grass and trees, and there was no entrance to a cave or pit. He couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Huh? This should be where Cui Wuguni cultivates, could it be that her immortal cave is surrounded by a forbidden array or an illusionary array? Or maybe she's not here after all."

  Unfolding the power of his primordial spirit, he searched for a long time but gained nothing. Xiao Yunfei landed on a large tree, feeling depressed and frustrated. The wind whistled in his ears, but then he heard the rustling sound of leaves beneath him. Xiao Yunfei was shocked, as his primordial spirit power had been dispersed, although unintentionally. Even ordinary fierce beasts wouldn't dare to approach, so how could there be any that would seek their own death?

  After a slight astonishment, Xiao Yunfei looked down and saw that from under the dense foliage of the tree, a strange snake suddenly appeared! It was as thick as a person's thigh, two or three zhang long, with green stripes on its body, coiled around the trunk. What made it strange was that about seven inches above its head, it split into two huge heads, like a pair of giant chopsticks, opening and closing between them, "hiss" extending and retracting two foot-long red tongues.

  The double-headed serpent saw Xiao Yunfei approaching, and immediately raised its body, vigilantly staring at the enemy like a warrior. Its massive and slender body instantly contracted, twisting and entwining into a ball, as if to protect what was behind it.

  Xiao Yunfei recognized the snake at a glance, which was the quite famous "Jiaolong" in the Shu Mountain world, and it was also a relatively rare two-headed Jiaolong. The snake's body was grass green, three zhang long, with double heads and single tail, its strength was as strong as an ox, its mouth could spit out liquid, extremely poisonous, once stained would be fatal, seeing blood would lead to suffocation.

  According to legend, this pair of snakes is incredibly powerful, and after growing for a thousand years, they can naturally cultivate their inner elixir. When the time comes, they will grow wings and transform into dragons, able to fly hundreds of feet in the air. One head spits out icy coldness, while the other head spits out poisonous fire. Even if a powerful celestial being were to appear, they would still have to show some respect, for their power is unmatched.

  In front of him, the double-headed turtle had two bulging pouches growing under its neck, and it was likely that after many years of growth, it had already refined its inner elixir. If an opportunity arose, it wouldn't take long for it to grow wings and become a dragon.

  The more it is so, the stranger it feels. Xiao Yunfei's heart was clear that such an old snake could be said to be extremely clever and cunning. Normally, if he saw a flying or escaping cultivator, he would know he wasn't their match and would likely hide far away, not daring to come back and provoke them.

  "Isn't there something behind him that can't let it escape?"

  Xiao Yunfei was perplexed, and his gaze converged to look through the obstacles at the back of the spiritual snake. Indeed, amidst the dense foliage, two or three feet long, emerald green small snakes were hidden, only as thick as a thumb, seemingly newly born.

  Xiao Yunfei had no intention of disturbing them, and now that he had run into the mother of the child, he couldn't help but let out a faint sigh. He thought to himself: Such rare spirits are hard to come by, why make things difficult for them? At this point, he revealed a hint of a smile, took a step back, and yielded the path he was blocking.

  The two-headed snake also sensed that the other party did not seem to have malicious intentions, and slightly relaxed its stiff body. It coiled up its tail and swung it back, lightly wrapping the two small snakes onto its back. Xiao Yunfei smiled slightly and pointed to an empty space beside him, indicating that it could take the children away. However, the snake did not leave immediately, but instead stood up, with the two snake heads facing each other and moving back and forth, as if making a bow, while also emitting a "hissing" sound.

  Unfortunately, Xiao Yunfei didn't understand snake language, so he could only watch as the Double-headed Qiuqiu moved about in front of him. Half a moment later, Xiao Yunfei suddenly said "Oh", and the Double-headed Qiuqiu was overjoyed, its four eyes filled with an unquenchable longing as it stared at Xiao Yunfei.

  Xiao Yunfei scratched his head with some embarrassment and smiled fawningly: "I still don't understand."
