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

Looking at the cultivation technique that shone with divine light before him, Bai Chuxiao was deeply moved.

The most unique aspect of this technique is that, like the Burning Technique, it has no fixed rank!

However, the difference is that even if no illustrations are unlocked, the initial rank of this technique is fixed at the advanced Xuan rank!

After that, its rank will continue to evolve as it absorbs snake bloodline and battle qi strength, reaching the Earth Rank and Heaven Rank.

Even more so, after collecting all the illustrations, one can surpass the Heavenly Rank!

At that time, those who cultivate this technique will not only be able to perfectly absorb the fighting spirit of snakes, but also completely control the power of snake bloodline, transforming into a snake god with terrifying power to overturn rivers and seas and devour the heavens and the earth!

"Terrifying!" Bai Chuxiao couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, his little face filled with shock.

He naturally knew about the Burning Technique; it was a supreme cultivation method using a different kind of fire, capable of continuously evolving as it absorbed that different kind of fire, making it practically heaven-defying.

This book, "The Record of the Ancient Serpent God," has an even higher growth ceiling than the Burning Technique. Its only drawback is that it cannot be cultivated unless one is born with a serpent spirit mark!

"With this space and the 'Records of the Ancient Serpent God,' my cultivation path is likely to defy the heavens!"

Bai Chuxiao clenched his small fist, his heart pounding with excitement.

Meanwhile, outside the door, a gentle yet dignified figure stood quietly.

Bai Wanqing had no intention of disturbing her son. Dressed in a purple dress, her figure graceful, she stood quietly outside the door, her fingertips gently brushing the door frame, her eyes filled with doting affection and worry.

She could clearly sense that the battle qi fluctuations in the room were unusually intense, from the initial ferocity to the later stability, and then to the final condensation. Each change brought her more relief.

She knew that her son's seclusion this time must have been due to a great opportunity.

As a nine-star Dou Zong, she could vaguely sense the special aura belonging to the Serpent Spirit Seal in the room. It was a kind of throbbing originating from the depths of her bloodline, and also the most feared pressure of serpentine magical beasts.

"Chu Xiao is indeed an extraordinary child."

Bai Wanqing murmured softly, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

She didn't push the door open; she simply stood quietly outside, like the most loyal guardian, isolating her son from all external interference and protecting his time in seclusion.

As night deepened, the fierce winds of the Ten Thousand Serpents Sand Sea howled past, pounding against the walls of Heavenly Serpent City and producing a deep rumble.

Inside the meditation pavilion, candlelight flickered. Bai Chuxiao sat cross-legged, the snake spirit seal in his palm gleaming with golden light. The "Ancient Snake God Record" in his sea of ​​consciousness slowly circulated, and the spiritual energy around him gathered into a huge white vortex, surging wildly into his body.

He has already begun to practice this brand-new cultivation technique, refining the remaining Dou Huang Dou Qi within his body.

At this rate, he will surely break through to the three-star Dou Zhe level within three days.

……

"boom!"

Three days later, a muffled explosion came from the meditation pavilion, and Bai Chuxiao emerged from seclusion as scheduled.

A condensed and domineering ripple of battle aura spread out of the room like a tsunami, the energy roaring out and almost overturning the solid ancient wooden door!

In the small courtyard outside the room, Bai Wanqing sat alone at the bluestone table, gently holding a teacup in her hand and leisurely sipping tea.

Sensing the fluctuation of fighting spirit, she simply waved her hand, and a gentle yet irresistible force spread out, instantly suppressing the violent ripples until they vanished without even causing the flowers and plants in the courtyard to tremble.

"Squeak—"

The ancient wooden door slowly opened, and Bai Chuxiao, seeing the light of day again, immediately spotted the familiar figure in the courtyard. A bright smile instantly bloomed on his face, and he happily ran over with his short legs, calling out, "Mom!"

Bai Wanqing reached out and pulled him into her arms, gently stroking his little head, her tone carrying a hint of reproach:

"You little rascal, how dare you bully the guest elders of the sect while your mother is away? Haven't I repeatedly told you not to go out without permission?"

"Uh...hehe, Mom, I know I was wrong."

Bai Chuxiao's eyes darted around as he scratched his head, looking left and right, appearing obedient and ready to correct his mistakes.

The mother and son snuggled together in the courtyard, chatting about everyday things, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

As for why Bai Chuxiao took his mother's surname, it was already an open secret in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion—the dual identity of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Master and a Nine-Star Dou Zong expert meant that Bai Wanqing could not marry into another family, so it was only natural for her son to take his mother's surname.

"Alright, I'm not blaming you, I just hope you'll be more sensible and not act willfully."

Seeing her son admit his mistake, Bai Wanqing's tone softened instantly, and she gently explained, "Actually, the Black Serpent King didn't intentionally refuse to take you out. He was just following my orders and didn't dare to make decisions on his own, which is why he kept making excuses to you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chuxiao curled his lip and secretly chuckled to himself: So it turned out that the old man's "a Douhuang expert cannot suffer the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs" was just an excuse. In the end, he was just afraid of his mother's wrath. What a hypocrite.

"However, I never expected that you would break through to the three-star Dou Zhe level in just three days. Your progress is so rapid."

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Wanqing's eyes, then she said gently, "Speaking of which, you still haven't chosen a suitable cultivation technique. It's time to pass on to you the inherited cultivation techniques practiced by the successive heads of our Heavenly Serpent Manor."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chuxiao shook his head, raised his right hand, and the Serpent Spirit Seal in his palm glowed slightly: "No need, Mother, I already have the most suitable cultivation technique for myself. After absorbing the Black Serpent King's battle qi today, I accidentally discovered the new effects of the Serpent Spirit Seal and also obtained this cultivation technique."

As he spoke, he opened his palm, and the Serpent Spirit Seal shone with brilliant golden light, telling Bai Wanqing in detail about the origin and effects of the "Ancient Serpent God Record," as well as the secrets of the Serpent Spirit Space.

However, the Serpent Spirit Space could only house serpentine magical beasts, preventing Bai Wanqing from personally entering to inspect them, which she found slightly regrettable.

"The Record of the Ancient Serpent God?" Bai Wanqing's eyes flashed with curiosity after hearing this, but she was not too surprised.

Since Bai Chuxiao awakened the Serpent Spirit Seal, the surprises and miracles brought by this mark have been countless, and the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion has long been accustomed to it, even somewhat numb to it.

"That's right, this is a cultivation technique that only the Serpent Spirit Seal can practice. It's perfectly suited to my physique, and there's nothing more suitable for me." Bai Chuxiao nodded, his tone firm and confident.

"In that case, I will trust your judgment."

Bai Wanqing smiled gently and stroked his head. "Our little Chu Xiao has grown up and has his own opinions. He should make his own decisions about some things."

Bai Chuxiao's eyes lit up, and he followed up by asking, "Mother, once I reach the Dou Wang level, can I go out and train?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanqing's gentle expression vanished instantly, her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone became more serious: "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do by running off? If you just want to relax, isn't Tian She City big enough for you to play in? Do you dare say you've already explored every corner of Tian She City?"

What am I going out to do? Bai Chuxiao thought to himself: Naturally, I'm going to seek opportunities and gather allies!

Qing Lin, who possesses the three-flowered eyes of the Azure Serpent, and Queen Medusa, who harbors the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python within her body, are both worthy of becoming Battle Saints, with boundless potential!

Furthermore, both of them possess snake blood, which is extremely compatible with the Heavenly Serpent Palace, and they will undoubtedly be a great help to the Heavenly Serpent Palace in the future.

Moreover, the Dou Qi Continent is vast and boundless, and many places and things are unknown to Bai Chuxiao. Even if he knew the names of many powerful snake-like magical beasts, he would not know where to find them.

Therefore, if one wants to grow quickly, a knowledgeable and experienced mentor is crucial, and the old man hidden in the ring is the target he is determined to obtain.

But these things, of course, cannot be told to my mother directly.

Bai Chuxiao's eyes darted around, and he raised his small hand, saying earnestly, "It's the Serpent Spirit Seal guiding me. I have a strong premonition that in a faraway place, several opportunities related to snakes await me."

He specifically emphasized that it was "related to snakes," which was undoubtedly more convincing for someone who possessed the Snake Spirit Seal.

As expected, Bai Wanqing didn't doubt it, but shook her head helplessly, her tone tinged with melancholy: "Even so, it's not the right time yet. Your strength is still too weak. A three-star Dou Zhe is insignificant in the Northwest Continent and is simply not enough to protect yourself outside."

"As the master of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, Mother must always be present to guard the sect and prevent villains from attacking. The Heavenly Serpent Palace may seem safe in the Northwest Continent, but in reality, it has many enemies and is not invincible."

As she spoke, Bai Wanqing's expression turned slightly melancholy as she looked up at the sky, as if reminiscing about the past.

"A long time ago, our Heavenly Serpent Prefecture was not just a power that was confined to a corner of the Northwest Continent, but a behemoth that could be considered first-class in the entire Central Continent."

"The lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace that generation, known as the Heavenly Serpent Venerable, was a Dou Zun powerhouse with the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil! Because of his strength, the Heavenly Serpent Palace became a first-class power in the Central Continent at that time, occupying many precious resources, but also making many enemies."

"But this good fortune didn't last long. There was no one else in the world with the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Eyes, and even the Heavenly Serpent Venerable's lifespan wasn't endless. After his death, the Heavenly Serpent Palace suffered a devastating blow. The next Heavenly Serpent Palace Master could only lead the entire palace to flee to the most remote Ten Thousand Serpent Sands of the Northwest Continent, where they established Heavenly Serpent City in order to continue the sect's legacy..."

At this point, Bai Wanqing couldn't help but pat Bai Chuxiao's head.

"Originally, my greatest goal in life was to find a successor with the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, to carry forward the sect and, ideally, to return to the magnificent stage of Central Continent."

"But after I met you, and especially after discovering the amazing physique of the Serpent Spirit Seal, I gave up my obsession with finding the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil."

In the eyes of others, Bai Chuxiao's Snake Spirit Seal, like the Jade Snake Three-Flower Pupil, is a special physique.

"Chu Xiao, you must understand, you are the future hope of the entire Heavenly Serpent Manor!"

Seeing his mother's serious and solemn expression, Bai Chuxiao felt a chill run down his spine and instantly understood the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Born on the Dou Qi Continent and raised in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, he was destined to be unable to shirk this bloodline inheritance and sect responsibility.

"Mother, I understand." Bai Chuxiao nodded heavily, his youthful face showing a determination beyond his years.
