Reborn as a Snake: Many Children, Many Blessings, Only I, the Green Snake Immortal

Xu Qing looked at the buzzing immortal furnace and said, "Right now, we should figure out what's going on in this place and how we can get out."

I've been here for so long and encountered a lot of trouble; I haven't even seen a glimpse of the exit yet.

The mist portal we passed through has never reappeared.

Finding opportunities here is one thing, but whether you can go back is another.

"If we can't find a way out, won't we be trapped here and die?"

Leng Feiyue nodded and turned to the Immortal Furnace.

"Uncle Lu, what exactly is going on in Kunqian Mountain? How did you end up in the mountains?"

The immortal furnace quieted down a bit, and then an aged voice rang out.

"When I arrived, I was right inside the mountain, and I crashed headfirst into that pool of blood. Before I even figured out where I was, that thing started to erode my mind."

As he said this, the furnace body trembled slightly.

"That was a terrible experience. I struggled with it for a long time, and I almost forgot who I was. In the end, I couldn't control my strength anymore and finally managed to break through the mountain."

Xu Qing listened attentively. He had also come into contact with that pool of blood, and it was indeed very strange.

Leng Feiyue looked at the furnace and asked, "Is it the bloodstains we saw on you?"

"Yes, once it's on me, I can't get rid of it. It almost wore down my entire sanity."

As the immortal furnace spoke, the furnace lid slowly opened.

A stream of scarlet blood was revealed inside the furnace.

Xu Qing's gaze sharpened.

The blood was mixed with bones and broken scales.

A pale white glint appeared amidst the crimson, and nearby, fragments of scales emerged. Several things were mixed together, and a menacing aura rushed towards them.

Brutal, brutal, chaotic!

Just looking at it makes one uneasy.

That aura was nothing like the remnant of an inanimate object; it seemed as if it could penetrate consciousness at any moment and shatter everything within it.

The danger that Xu Qing felt on the furnace wall back then is now even clearer.

If an ordinary cultivator were here, they probably wouldn't even need to touch it; just getting close would risk damaging their intelligence.

"What is this thing?"

"The blood and bones of the true dragon."

Xu Qing looked at the Immortal Furnace: "Are you sure?"

"It definitely is; this is something left behind by a genuine dragon."

The spirit spoke very solemnly.

"When I left the mountain, I absorbed these, which were also part of that pool of blood."

Xu Qing recalled the fleeting red stream before leaving Kunqian Mountain.

The furnace was sucking so fast that he didn't even see clearly that it contained the remains of a real dragon.

His gaze returned to the furnace.

Bones and scales were soaked in blood, yet the malevolent aura remained undiminished.

What was previously only a suspicion about the remnants of a true dragon is now right before our eyes, and even Xu Qing couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Leng Feiyue raised her head and looked out at the world.

"This place is so vast, it feels like it's far beyond a mere grotto-heaven. If it was truly opened up by a dragon, how powerful must it be?"

The Immortal Furnace said in a deep voice, "It is definitely stronger than its former master."

After he finished speaking, all three of them fell silent for a moment.

The one who opened the Woyun Lodge is already a first-rank Earth Immortal.

What kind of existence lies beyond that?

Leng Feiyue withdrew her gaze and quietly looked at the blood and bones inside the furnace, remaining silent for a moment.

Another scene appeared in Xu Qing's mind.

Upstream in the long river of blood, there was a black figure as vast as endless mountains.

He still clearly remembers how he felt when he first faced it.

In his view, such methods and such an existence must be above even the Earth Immortal realm.

The one I've personally encountered is probably a true deity!

The gifts I had received also surfaced in my mind along with this figure.

Xu Qing's heart was churning, but he didn't say much on the surface. His thoughts were quickly pulled back by the sound of the Immortal Furnace.

"No matter what, this place is definitely related to the true dragon, and there's something else beneath Kunlun Mountain."

"What is it?" Leng Feiyue asked.

The Immortal Furnace paused for a moment, as if recalling something.

"One road."

Xu Qing looked up at it.

"road?"

"At that time, my mind was confused. I once sank deep into the ground. For a moment, I saw what seemed to be a blood-red road below, stretching into the distance."

"Where does it lead?"

"I don't know. I was too busy taking care of my own condition at the time. It was just a fleeting glimpse, how could I have seen it clearly?"

The sound of the immortal furnace slowed down.

It could recall the crimson stain, and the scene of the road stretching into the depths, but its memories after that were jumbled and chaotic. No matter how hard it tried to recall, it couldn't say what lay at the end.

Xu Qing didn't urge it, and waited for it to continue.

Since entering the country, I have seen many mountains, forests and cities, but I have found very few clues related to this land itself.

Now that he suddenly heard about such a path underground, he naturally didn't want to miss anything.

A moment later, the immortal furnace spoke again.

"But when I came down from the mountain later, I swallowed this mass of blood and bone, which seemed to have triggered something. That path... seems to have been cut off."

Xu Qing's lips twitched slightly.

"like?"

"It really seemed like it. As soon as there was any movement down there, I urged you to run. Why would I stay there and watch?"

This aligns with the situation at the time.

As soon as the red stream was sucked away, a rumbling sound came from underground, followed by the cracking of the mountain.

When he and the Immortal Furnace rushed out of the mountains, there was already a sound of collapse behind them.

There's a road, I don't know where it leads, I only saw it once, and I might even have broken it when I left...

This clue sounds intriguing, but if you really ask him for clarification, even he himself can't explain it clearly.

Immortal Furnace added with certainty, "This place holds a great secret!"

Xu Qing was speechless for a moment.

After a while, his gaze fell on the patch of scarlet blood again.

"Put the secret aside for now, you owe me half of your true dragon blood and remains!"

The stove lid immediately moved slightly.

"Why should I? I risked my life to get this, I almost died for it!"

"If I hadn't come to save you, you would have been dead long ago."

Xu Qing spoke with righteous indignation, gesturing towards the furnace with his chin.

"How confused were you in the mountains? I called you so many times, but you didn't even respond. If we had been late, not only would these bones have been taken away, but you would have been taken away too."

"You can't just ask for half!"

The furnace hummed, and the lid dropped down slightly, covering most of the blood and bones inside.

"This thing is eroding my sanity; it almost destroyed me. Before you arrived, I had already been battling it for so long!"

"How many bones did those grandmasters outside break?"

Xu Qing pointed to himself.

"I had to endure their punches to get to you, I can't just take a beating for nothing, can I?"

"I also contributed during the chase!"

"So I was being very kind and only took half, and didn't ask you to take it all out, senior."

With a hum, the furnace lid clanged loudly.

"You're quite the calculator!"

As one person and one stove were working on it, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

Huang Xin rushed over and, before he could even stand still, spoke urgently.

"Sect Master, a fight has broken out outside the mountain! One of the men has red hair and seems to be an old acquaintance of yours!"
