My path to immortality was smooth sailing.

The black-striped horned python raised its head high, opened its mouth wide, and instantly sucked Wei Jing into its mouth and swallowed him into its stomach.

This happened so suddenly that Wei Jing had already entered the snake's belly by the time Wei Dao and the others arrived.

"You beast, die!" Elder Wei Lie, wielding his pearwood staff, charged straight at the enemy.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred. The black-striped horned python's belly suddenly swelled up, and the giant snake was thrown several meters away.

"Elder, wait a moment, let's see what's going on first."

Elder Hong Gu and Wei Dao walked up together, the three of them standing side by side, staring intently at the black-striped horned python struggling in pain before them.

"Haha, not just anyone can eat this. This beast is suffering!" Wei Dao suddenly laughed. Wei Jing was practicing his martial arts inside the giant snake's belly.

With each punch and kick, the snake demon was tormented to the point of unbearable pain, collapsing to the ground and struggling.

Suddenly, the black-striped horned python's belly was stretched taut, as if someone were poking it with a stick inside, and the stick was getting longer and longer, almost piercing the python's belly.

The black-striped horned python's belly swelled up with a large bulge, stretching its scales so much that they stick up, revealing the bluish-white membrane underneath.

The giant snake opened its mouth wide and let out a mournful roar.

The snake's tongue drooped from its mouth, hanging limply on the ground, covered in dirt and bits of grass. The tip of the tongue was still trembling slightly, as if it were vomiting, trying to expel Wei Jing from its stomach.

Unfortunately, all it vomited was blood and its own internal organs.

Wei Jing, on the other hand, was having a great time inside the black-striped horned python's belly. He used the black iron rod to pierce the giant snake's stomach, turning it into a sieve. Then he enlarged and lengthened the black iron rod, intending to burst the giant snake's belly.

"Bigger, longer."

Wei Jing cast a spell, and spiritual power poured into the black iron rod as if it were free. The black iron rod was also very powerful, radiating spiritual light and slowly growing bigger and longer.

Meanwhile, to the Wei Dao and others outside, the giant snake's belly continued to swell, stretching into a sharp, club-like shape.

The next moment, the black-striped horned python's belly was finally pierced, and three flying shuttles pierced through it, creating three large holes. Wei Jing jumped out of the hole.

Then the iron rod in his hand suddenly grew larger, and he brought it down hard on the head of the black-striped horned python, which was the size of a water vat.

The snake's head was smashed flat and sank into the ground.

After struggling for a few more moments, the black-striped horned python stopped breathing.

This scene stunned everyone; the violent suppression of a top-tier first-order black-striped horned python, directly torturing and killing it to death.

In this battle, Wei Jing held the upper hand throughout, forcing the black-striped horned python to only be able to parry and unable to retaliate.

Wei Long and the others caught up and witnessed this shocking scene as soon as they arrived.

With a single blow, Wei Jing smashed the head of the black-striped horned python, killing it instantly!

"My God, that was a top-tier first-order demonic beast, the strongest demonic beast below the Foundation Establishment stage, and... it's dead." Wei Qingyao covered her mouth, somewhat incredulous.

Wei Yun smiled at Wei Jing, while Wei Long remained silent.

"Haha, well done, Jing'er." Wei Lie was overjoyed and stepped forward to pat Wei Jing on the shoulder heavily.

Wei Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, having passed the first test of the true teachings. He bowed to the family elders.

"Elder, Seventh Elder, Elder Hong Gu."

"How did you all end up here? How did Wei Long and the others get targeted by this Black-striped Horned Python?"

Wei Jing asked.

The mere mention of it made Elder Hong Gu furious. "Ask those brats! They're always causing trouble everywhere they go."

Wei Yun gave an awkward laugh, while Wei Long simply turned his head away.

Wei Qingyao whispered, "We came to hunt the One-Horned Bull, but we accidentally stumbled into the lair of the Black-Striped Horned Python, and then..."

Then, coincidentally, the black-striped horned python was not in its nest. The group of people were bold enough to go to the black-striped horned python's nest to plunder its treasures, and in the end, they went too far and stole a nest of snake eggs.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jing was speechless. He rubbed his forehead and shook his head.

Isn't this just courting death?

The Black-striped Horned Python is considered one of the top-tier monsters in the Spirit Mist Forest.

Apart from the two Tier 2 Ironback Mountain Crocodiles deep in the Spirit Mist Forest, the Black-Striped Horned Python roams freely in the Spirit Mist Forest.

These three people were incredibly audacious to steal the eggs of the black-striped horned python.

"Thank you, three elders, for covering for me. I've taken the gall bladder and horn of this black-striped horned python; the remaining materials are yours!"

"this……"

"How could we accept this? We didn't contribute much." Wei Lie suddenly became hesitant. Wei Jing only took the snake gall and horn, while the most precious parts of the Black-striped Horned Python were its skin and tendons.

Wei Jing didn't want either of these two parts; he wanted to give them to them.

"Why are you being so coy? Jing'er said she'd give it to us, so we'll accept it as a token of our respect as juniors." Elder Hong Gu didn't stand on ceremony.

"Yes!" Wei Dao echoed.

So the group cut up the enormous black-striped horned python; its carcass was a treasure from head to toe.

Snake skin and scales are good materials for making defensive magical artifacts. Snake tendons can be used to make a strong bow, and eating the flesh and blood of the Black-striped Horned Python can also increase one's qi and blood.

The four of them stuffed their storage bags to the brim before they finished dividing up the carcass of the black-striped horned python, which was several tens of meters long.

"I'm so envious. I wish I had a storage bag too." Wei Qingyao looked at Wei Jing, who had so easily stored so much black-striped horned python flesh and materials. She was so envious that her mouth was practically watering.

"Jing'er, since we've met, why don't you come with us to sit on Jade Stack Peak?"

"Yes, that's right. Jade Stack Peak will always be your home," Wei Dao said.

Wei Jing gave a wry smile. He was currently undergoing the True Inheritance Trial! He had no time for Jade Stack Peak, and he wasn't in the mood for it either.

Perhaps after successfully becoming a true disciple, he could go back and visit Elder Qingmu and his uncle Wei Yue.

"Wei Jing, go back! You haven't seen Elder Qingmu for a long time," Wei Long said in a deep voice.

"No, no, I have important matters to attend to right now and I really can't get away." Wei Jing waved his hand.

"Please give my regards to the clan chief and Elder Qingmu! I will definitely return to Jade Stack Peak when I have some free time."

"Alright then!" No one tried to persuade him anymore; they all knew that Wei Jing was undergoing the true disciple assessment.

Before parting, Wei Jing jokingly said to Wei Long:

"Young Master Long, you are now the pillar of the younger generation of the family. You have to hold your head high and stop doing such unreliable things."

Wei Long coughed lightly, his face flushed, and nodded somewhat shyly.

After saying this, Wei Jing greeted the elders of the family, then rode the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle and flew towards Little Bamboo Peak.

But as soon as he took off, before he had gone far, he smelled a foul odor that made him feel extremely nauseous.

Moreover, he was extremely familiar with this taste.

"The aura of the Demonic Sect," Wei Jing murmured, then immediately lowered the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle, which crashed into the ground and disappeared.

Nothing was left behind.
