Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 245 Stripping Away Bloodlines

High in the sky, amidst drifting clouds, Jiang Chen arrived riding a crane. During this time, he first went to Changfeng County and silently took the spiritual cave in the county governor's mansion. Then, with the help of the Thousand Crane Feather Robe, a top-grade magic artifact, he arrived at the Gao family at top speed.

"A demon that has reached the peak of Qi Refining, a snake demon from Five Immortals Mountain. It seems I've come at the right time."

With his divine sense spreading out, Jiang Chen discerned all the changes. Now, his divine sense could cover an area of ​​ten miles in radius, which was something that many Foundation Establishment cultivators could not match.

At this moment, the great formation of Green Bamboo Mountain was broken, and demonic energy was rampant. The Gao family had fallen into chaos. Some members of the Gao family saw that Gao Zixuan was powerful and had already joined his ranks, while others were unwilling to collude with the demons. The two sides fought each other.

"That's fine, it saves me some trouble."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen landed.

It was only at this moment that Gao Sizhu and the Black Snake Demon, who were fighting fiercely, noticed Jiang Chen's arrival.

Seeing Jiang Chen, dressed in feathered robes and wearing a jeweled crown, arriving on a crane with an ethereal and otherworldly air, Gao Sizhu and the Black Serpent Demon both showed blank expressions. At this moment, in their vision, the world seemed to turn gray and white, and time seemed to stand still.

"In the second tier, the Bewitching Soul technique is much more useful than in the first tier."

A gentle breeze blew, and a figure fell. Looking at Gao Sizhu and the black snake demon, who seemed to be lost in a dream, Jiang Chen was quite moved.

At the first level, bewitching was just a minor technique for him, something he could only try to use to confuse others at crucial moments. But now that he has advanced to the second level, he can easily trap cultivators who have reached the peak of Qi Refining into a dreamlike state, leaving them unable to control themselves and without any ability to resist.

"It's better to fight with cultivation than with magical power. Overpowering others with higher realms is the superior way. Let me see what Five Immortals Mountain is up to and why this snake demon has appeared in the Gao family."

With a sigh, Jiang Chen looked at the stunned Gao Sixing and the black snake demon, and extended his palm.

In the next instant, the Soul Illumination Technique was activated, and Jiang Chen began to peruse the memories of the human and the demon. At the second level, he no longer needed to kill the other party to use Soul Illumination; he could simply search their souls.

"So it turns out that there was a traitor like Gao Zixuan. No wonder the Gao family's protective formation collapsed on its own. This explains the chaos in the Gao family. The snake demon clan wanted to turn the Gao family into their pawn, tear apart Qingyuan County's defenses from within, and catch all the forces in Qingyuan County off guard."

"In this way, Wuxian Mountain can sweep across the entire Qingyuan County at the fastest speed."

As the scenes unfolded before his eyes, Jiang Chen came to understand the chaos that had befallen the Gao family. It turned out that the snake demon clan had used Gao Zixuan, a half-demon, as a pawn to seize control of the Gao family in one fell swoop.

However, at this moment, a scene hidden deep within the Black Serpent Demon's heart surfaced, causing Jiang Chen to frown slightly.

"Dao Foundation? That green snake demon has actually achieved Dao Foundation?"

After confirming that the result was correct, Jiang Chen withdrew his hand.

He was somewhat surprised that the Green Serpent Demon was able to forge a Dao Foundation, but upon closer reflection, it made perfect sense. Otherwise, even with the support of Blackwater Dock, the Five Immortals Mountain's current actions were excessive and inconsistent with their past behavior.

It should be noted that these five immortal demons are not the kind of ferocious beasts; they would never dare to take such a reckless step unless they were certain of their success.

"It seems that the news of the spiritual treasures appearing in the Five Immortals Mountain was indeed true, and they fell into the hands of the Green Serpent Demon, which used them to build its Dao foundation." "Of course, Blackwater Dock was probably also involved in this. After all, spiritual veins are also a problem in building a Dao foundation, and the actions of the two families now prove this point from another angle."

"The Five Immortals Mountain, led by the Green Serpent Demon, has reached a cooperation agreement with Blackwater Dock. They want more than just to wreak havoc in Qingyuan County; they want to sweep across the entire south, and even the Green Wood family is a target they want to deal with."

"The Qingmu family only has one Dao Foundation cultivator on the surface. If Lady Qinghua and the crocodile demon from Blackwater Dock join forces, they theoretically have a chance."

As the thoughts collided, Jiang Chen learned from the Black Serpent Demon's memories that Lady Qinghua had forged her Dao Foundation. Looking at the situation in the four southern prefectures, Jiang Chen already knew that the confrontation between the two Dao Foundation experts in the four southern prefectures had now evolved into a three-way standoff.

"At present, Lady Qinghua is most likely still sitting in Wuxian Mountain. She is unwilling to reveal herself, probably in order to catch the Qingmu family off guard."

"In that case, I need to be more careful in my actions. Besides the news that Lady Qinghua has established her Dao foundation, there is another important piece of information in Black Serpent's memory."

With his mind wandering, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Gao Zixuan, who was not far away. This prodigy of the Gao family, the half-demon son born of Qinghua Niangniang and Gao Siyuan, looked bewildered and was also lost in a dream.

"As expected, it contains the blood of a dragon. Although the quantity is small, its essence is quite high."

Jiang Chen's divine sense spread out, revealing everything inside and out. He saw through Gao Zixuan's secrets clearly. Gao Zixuan was not actually a genius. His outstanding performance was mainly due to the wisp of dragon blood within him.

"Interesting, very interesting. It seems that the Green Serpent Demon intends to change its own constitution and transform into a dragon, or even a pure-blooded dragon."

"The reason she gave birth to Gao Zixuan was probably to use him to transfer the backlash from fusing with the dragon's blood."

"Among the bloodlines of many powerful demons, dragon blood is undoubtedly the most widespread and the easiest to fuse with. However, this ease is relative. As a snake demon, it is not so easy for the Green Snake to fuse with the blood of a powerful dragon, change its origins, and directly transform into a dragon."

"That is why it chose to sever its bloodline and let its offspring bear the backlash from the bloodline in its place. Gao Zixuan may seem to be a little genius in cultivation now, but his roots have long been eroded by the dragon blood. If nothing unexpected happens, he will die suddenly soon."

With keen insight, Jiang Chen saw through Gao Zixuan, this half-demon, and discerned the Green Snake Demon's scheme.

"Although I don't know how the Green Snake Demon managed to do this, I imagine she must have some secret techniques. This time, she sent the Black Snake Demon to Green Bamboo Mountain to use the Gao family as pawns, but that's secondary. The most important thing is to bring Gao Zixuan back."

"From this point of view, even though she has established her Dao foundation, she has not given up the idea of ​​changing her physique and transforming into a dragon. However, this is normal. After all, establishing a Dao foundation is not the end, but only the beginning of the journey. If she wants to continue, the foundation of the green snake alone is not enough."

"If one can transform into a dragon and continue to trace one's bloodline, then the Green Serpent's ascension path will truly be opened."

At one point, realizing something, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up slightly.

"This gives us a starting point."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen opened his storage bag, and in the next instant, the magical fishing rod appeared in his hand.
