Battle Through the Heavens: The Young Master of the Heavenly Serpent, intercepts Yao Lao at the star

As night deepened, the setting sun dyed the Thousand Serpent Sand Sea a golden-red hue.

Bai Wanqing, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, returned from her mission. She wore a purple dress, her figure was graceful and her face was stunning. Every move she made carried the majesty of a Dou Zong expert.

She walked on air, her clothes fluttering, carrying a struggling fifth-tier snake-like magical beast in her hand. Its strength was comparable to that of a human Battle King. She had captured it on the way and planned to take it back to the back mountain to have the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King guard it temporarily, so that her son Bai Chuxiao could absorb its battle energy.

But as she approached the back of the mountain, her brows furrowed slightly.

Under her powerful soul perception, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King's aura was extremely weak, his fighting spirit was disordered, and his energy was low, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle and suffered heavy losses.

"What's going on?"

Bai Wanqing flashed and instantly appeared in front of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King. Her purple eyes were slightly cold, and her tone carried a hint of barely perceptible worry.

When the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King saw the Lord of the Palace, he trembled with fear and hurriedly reported everything that had happened that day, without daring to conceal anything.

After listening to the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King's account, Bai Wanqing's icy eyes instantly lit up with a dazzling light. Her previously stern expression vanished, replaced by undisguised surprise and relief: "Chu Xiao... he can already absorb Dou Huang-level Dou Qi?"

"Yes, Lord of the Manor," the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King bowed his head respectfully, "During your absence from the sect, the Young Master of the Manor successfully advanced to the rank of Dou Zhe. After emerging from seclusion, he wished to leave the sect for a stroll, but I, following your instructions, did not grant his request. Then, the Young Master of the Manor..."

Bai Wanqing smiled gently and casually tossed over a pill to help restore her battle qi.

He then tossed the fifth-tier magical beast aside, turned around, and flew towards the main courtyard, his heart filled with excitement.

She always cherished this son, treating him with utmost care and affection.

She knew better than anyone the terror of the Serpent Spirit Seal; it was a power capable of overturning the entire Northwest Continent.

That's why she gave a strict order: Bai Chuxiao must not be allowed to step out of Tian She City until his cultivation reaches the level of Dou Wang!

The outside world is dangerous, and people's hearts are unpredictable. She must protect this hope that belongs to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and protect her son, until he has enough strength to stand alone and dominate the world.

Meanwhile, Bai Chuxiao had already skipped back to his courtyard, sitting cross-legged on a jade couch covered with a snow-white fox fur. The pale golden snake spirit seal in his palm still retained a faint glow.

The warm current that he had just absorbed from the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King's battle qi was now surging wildly along his meridians. The vortex of a one-star Dou Zhe was expanding and rotating at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a deep hum.

He closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed into a small "川" shape, and his small face was full of solemnity.

"Such domineering fighting spirit..."

This Serpent Spirit Seal is not without its side effects. If it absorbs a serpentine magical beast whose strength is far greater than his own, then Bai Chuxiao will be unable to subdue it.

His fate was to be pulverized by the opponent's violent fighting spirit!

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent King's battle aura originally carried the yin and domineering nature of serpents, and after being refined and absorbed by the Serpent Spirit Seal, its power was weakened by more than half.

However, when the fighting spirit surged into the dantian vortex along the meridians, he still felt a tearing, throbbing pain, as if it were about to burst his body apart.

Bai Chuxiao dared not delay. He immediately closed his eyes and focused his mind, sorting out and refining the violent energy little by little, and integrating it into his own vortex.

Time passed slowly, and the sunlight outside the window gradually changed from a fiery golden-red to a soft orange-yellow before slowly sinking below the horizon. Only the candlelight inside the meditation hall continued to burn with a warm yellow light.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Bai Chuxiao finished refining the last wisp of battle qi and was about to finish his practice, the snake spirit seal in his palm suddenly trembled violently!

"Buzz—!"

A soft buzzing sound rang in his mind, and the snake scale mark that was originally only the size of a palm suddenly burst forth with a golden light, the light restrained yet extremely penetrating, instantly enveloping his entire body.

Bai Chuxiao felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him suddenly changed.

The familiar pavilions, jade beds, and candlelight have all disappeared, replaced by a vast, boundless gray space.

There is no sky, no earth, only a hazy mist all around, and solid black earth beneath your feet, radiating a faint, mysterious light.

In the center of the space, a semi-transparent golden jade book floats, with several ancient and vigorous characters engraved on its pages—"The Record of the Ancient Serpent God".

On the other side of the jade scroll, within a spatial rift shimmering with a ghostly blue light, countless serpentine phantoms could be vaguely seen weaving through the void. There were tiny, hair-thin blue snakes, colossal pythons that blotted out the sky, and fiery serpents engulfed in flames...

"This is... the space inside the Serpent Spirit Seal?"

Bai Chuxiao was both surprised and delighted; his small figure appeared exceptionally immature in this space. He tentatively reached out and gently grasped the spatial rift.

In an instant, a strange connection was established.

He could clearly feel that this space was like an extension of his body. As long as it was a snake-type magical beast, no matter how strong or weak, as long as it was locked by his snake spirit seal, it could be taken into this independent space!

"That's brilliant!"

Bai Chuxiao's eyes lit up, and a bold idea immediately formed in his mind.

If we encounter powerful snake-type magical beasts in the future, we can directly bring them into this space and slowly absorb their battle energy.

Then, he turned his gaze to the floating "Records of the Ancient Serpent Gods".

He stepped forward and gently touched the jade book.

The moment his fingertips touched the jade book, a vast amount of information surged into Bai Chuxiao's consciousness like a tidal wave, instantly filling his mind.

"The Ancient Serpent God Record" is both a cultivation technique and an illustrated guide, which records various powerful serpentine magical beasts from ancient times to the present.

Turning to the first page, several familiar names are prominently displayed.

"Ancient Celestial Serpent, Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, Nine Netherworld Python... these are all familiar faces! But what are these Yellow Spring Emperor Python, Nether Palace Giant Python, and Thorn Flame Serpent?"

Continuing to flip through the pages, the name of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent is prominently displayed on the twentieth page, and unlike the other species, this name is highlighted.

"Looks like I need to collect all the snakes with powerful bloodlines..."

Bai Chuxiao was puzzled at first. It was just absorbing some battle qi, so why did the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King seem to be in so much pain?

After reading the Record of the Ancient Serpent God, Bai Chuxiao finally understood.

It turns out that when one's bloodline becomes powerful enough, one is qualified to enter the illustrations of this ancient serpent god record. At that time, what one absorbs is not only battle qi, but also a portion of bloodline power!

Although this method will not damage the opponent's foundation, the pain experienced is enough to make the opponent weak for a long time.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent King was the first snake that Bai Chuxiao absorbed and was qualified to enter the encyclopedia. That's why this space was opened by chance, allowing him to obtain this supreme cultivation technique!
