From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

This is a crocodile with white scales all over its body. It is obvious that its bloodline has mutated, which is why it looks like this.

Li Yi looked at it curiously, his gaze piercing through its exterior to see inside.

This black-scaled crocodile has no swampy energy in its body; it is very pure and has only cultivated two powers: moonlight and twilight glow.

The moonlight within its body was not as pure as that of itself and the white python, nor did it possess the characteristics of the yin; it was merely ordinary moonlight derived from instinct.

At this moment, within its body, the illusory images of the sun and moon shone together, creating a rather dreamlike scene.

"It is also at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and its cultivation level seems to be unstable. However, it has some foresight, managing to sneak here before the phosphorus fire disaster fully erupted."

Mu'e looked around and commented.

Then, she turned to look at Li Yi, smiling, and said, "What? You seem to know it. Have you tried to reproduce with it?"

Li Yi shook his head speechlessly; he had never seen this white, black-scaled crocodile before.

"Why do I feel like you're behaving more like a human? For crocodiles or other demonic beasts, strength is everything. You're so powerful, so naturally you want to possess all the female crocodiles..."

As they talked, Mu'e moved closer, staring at Li Yi suspiciously.

Li Yi had nothing to say about this. After confirming that there were no other threats, he glanced at the white crocodile and walked away.

He was going to search the palace carefully. This was the first time he had seen human relics since he came to this world. Although they were very ancient, he might find something.

The white python slithered across the ground, hissing and flicking its tongue, curiously swimming towards the snow-white mother crocodile.

It naturally developed some affection for the female crocodile, and its bloodline mutated. Moreover, in its mind, almost all mutated bloodlines with white scales were female.

"Phew, this place is safe for now. It's so cool here."

The toad transformed back into human form, an old man, who sat cross-legged to the side and began to cultivate.

Li Yi walked slowly through the white jade palace, looking at the various traces and carvings left on it, trying to find something from them.

However, this was just a side hall, without even a name, and all the objects inside were gone.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Li Yi only found a few small jade bottles in the palace. As soon as they were opened, there were a few lifelike pills, but they turned to ashes the next moment.

The power of time is indeed terrifying. Countless years have passed here; everything has decayed except for the palace itself.

Soon after, Li Yi looked up at the top of the palace, which resembled an inverted bowl with a complete relief sculpture inside.

It was a lifelike starry sky, with a full moon in the very center. The jade there was of the most perfect quality, white and translucent, emitting a faint glow.

Standing here, Li Yi felt the warmth of the moonlight all the time.

This place is truly a treasure trove for demonic beasts that cultivate moonlight.

As for the human cultivators who once occupied this place? There wasn't a trace left, not even a bone fragment.

Li Yi even suspected that this side hall had been abandoned long ago.

As Li Yi was thinking, a huge creature suddenly surged beside him. A yellow crocodile emerged from the darkness, and a deep, magnetic female voice rang in Li Yi's ear.

"I am willing to submit and become one of your companions. Please help me break through the foundation stage using the swampy earth element."

Li Yi calmly turned his head and met Huang E's cold, jewel-like eyes.

The other party immediately felt the faint pressure and lowered their head slightly.

This is not just a huge gap in realm, but also the wondrous perception brought about by Li Yi's immortal foundation.

In Huang E's perception, Li Yi's immortal foundation was like a chaotic world, unimaginably magnificent, with the ground of this world having a perfect swampy soil pattern.

And this was only a part of that chaotic land; there were even more terrifying things: a whirlwind of wood, a slowly flowing water, and an exploding fire. The eerie white phosphorescent flames instilled in it an instinctive sense of fear.

Not to mention the land itself.

Before Li Yi, the yellow crocodile felt its insignificance. Even if it did its best, it could only build its foundation with swamp soil and become a celestial body, but it still had to submit to Li Yi.

"Um."

Li Yi nodded lightly and waved gently.

The next moment, the yellow crocodile obediently retreated into the darkness, giving Li Yi enough time to think.

Several hours later, Li Yi briefly left the palace and came to the outside world, only to find that the place was filled with pale white phosphorescent fire, burning everywhere.

There are still a few days until the phosphorescence disaster is over.

This terrible disaster is limited by the laws of heaven and earth, and usually only lasts for a very short time. Otherwise, if it continued, everything would be destroyed, and the swamp would cease to exist.

This is the cycle of karma.

Since that's the case, Li Yi decided to stay safely in the palace, lead his companions to escape this disaster, and deal with the rest later.

Back inside the palace, Li Yi immediately spotted Mu E waving at him.

She was lying on her side on a large, raised white jade platform. The fine green scales all over her body had completely disappeared, revealing her fair and tough skin.

"Come here quickly. Since I reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I have never tried to reproduce in human form. It is said to be very pleasurable."

At this moment, the triangular-headed venomous snake had been thrown aside and was hiding in some corner, unknown to anyone except those at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Li Yi was not going to refuse. The phosphorescent fire disaster, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and a series of other events had kept him on edge, so it would be good to relax a bit now.

Just as he arrived in front of the Jade Terrace, Li Yueyou's illusory figure reappeared.

She lay down next to Mu'e, staring at the two of them with a curious look, her full, bright red lips slightly moving as if she were very curious.

Li Yi simply ignored her.

On the other side, the white python and the white crocodile quickly became acquainted. Both beasts were white, so they naturally felt a sense of closeness. Moreover, due to their bloodline mutation, they were quite intelligent and could speak human language, which made communication much easier.

The white python was somewhat surprised by the white crocodile's voice; it was so alluring it was almost seductive. No wonder it rarely spoke.

At this moment, they are all gathered under the palace dome, raising their heads to absorb the moonlight.

The full moon relief in the sky above glowed slightly, with wisps of moonlight shining through it, flowing over the scales of the white python and white crocodile, emitting a soft light.

Based on the changes in the relief, the white python determined that it was nighttime outside, but the phosphorescent flames were still burning, and the moon was nowhere to be seen.

The reason it couldn't establish its foundation was due to a lack of balance within its body; its lunar energy was always relatively weak, and this palace was a fortunate opportunity.
