The path to immortality through demonic cultivation begins with devouring snakes to become immortals

The Divine Continent, the Ten Thousand Mountains.

In a hidden cave, a small, flowery snake roared to the sky: "C!!"

The commotion startled two other small snakes, one black and one white, who stared at him as if he were an idiot.

The one with the flower on his arm is named Li Xiaobai.

In his previous life, Li Xiaobai was a wage earner who worked from 8 am to 9 pm.

After graduating, he endured several years of harsh realities from society, which left him weak all over, but the only thing that remained strong was his strikingly handsome face.

But in the end, it was no match for the roaring dump truck. Damn it, where did all that dump truck go?

You bastard, which father taught you to drive with your left hand and shop with your right?! You think that thing is a manual transmission?

"Hiss~"

The other two little snakes made discontented noises.

"What are you yelling about? I'm hungry too! Is there anyone kind enough to feed us?"

Li Xiaobai opened his mouth, clearly speaking, but also hissed. Hearing his hiss, the two little snakes hissed even louder.

These two little creatures seemed different from him. One was completely black with a pointed head and long teeth. Even though it had just opened its eyes, it still had a strong sense of wildness and alertness. It was quite handsome.

There was also a small white snake with a round head, female, with big, watery eyes, but she exuded a sense of aloofness.

Most importantly! These two are bigger than me.

So it turns out I'm actually the third oldest.

Li Xiaobai glanced around and realized he was being squeezed into a corner, his stomach aching with hunger. Didn't the newly hatched snakes have eggshells to eat?

Oh, it was all taken by my older brothers and sisters.

But he was starving to death, and Li Xiaobai was unwilling to accept it!

Everyone else who transmigrates is all awesome, some kind of super-rich young master, some kind of unparalleled genius. Me? I'm a snake! Damn it, so what if I'm a snake? Snakes have to live too!

Just as Li Xiaobai was about to take a chance and go out to find food, he suddenly heard a faint electrical sound in his mind, followed by a mechanical notification sound.

[Ding~ A strong will to survive from an external soul has been detected. Apocalypse System, binding in progress. Host: Li Xiaobai.]

Li Xiaobai's ears perked up! A system?! We're viable this time!

Amidst Li Xiaobai's pounding heartbeat, even the normally cold notification tone sounded incredibly pleasant.

[The host can obtain Heavenly Revelation Points by killing living beings, completing random system tasks, and refining rare and precious materials.]

[Apocalypse Points can be used by the host to improve cultivation, evolve bloodlines, exchange items in the shop, and participate in lotteries.]

[Ding~ Apocalypse System successfully bound.]

[Ding~ A new snake gift pack has been issued to the host. The host can retrieve it from the storage space.]

A series of notification sounds rang out, and an attribute panel similar to that in his previous life's game appeared before Li Xiaobai's eyes.

【Name】Li Xiaobai

[Bloodline] Brocade Flower Snake

[Cultivation Level] None

Lifespan: 4 years

[Apocalypse Point] 0

[Item] New Snake Gift Pack (To be collected)

[World] Divine Continent (Mortal)

Indeed, no wonder he said he was an outsider.

This isn't Earth from my previous life at all! The Divine Continent? It has a strong Xianxia (cultivation) vibe.

Without the system, even if an ordinary little snake like me could survive, I would only have a lifespan of four years.

"extract."

Li Xiaobai's mind was focused on the extraction option after locking onto the new snake gift pack.

[Ding~ Withdrawal successful, reward being distributed.]

[Host's physical strength *3; Soul strength *3; Host gains cultivation foundation; Host gains preliminary information about the current world.]

Almost instantly! Li Xiaobai's small body began to become chubby, and he caught up with his older brothers and sisters in height.

Most importantly! He felt incredibly light, and his five senses were enhanced by an immense amount! He could even sense an extremely mysterious aura.

This... must be the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, right?

From now on! I've become a snake spirit too?! Who knows, I might actually have a chance to become human again!

"system?"

【Ding~】

Li Xiaobai gently flicked his short tail: "Let's watch a movie."

[Please show some self-respect, host!]

"Ha, you don't even have this function, you're not smart at all."

Li Xiaobai felt contempt, but he could still tell whether the film or his life was more important.

"Let's first look at the information about this world and then go out to find some food, otherwise we'll still starve to death."

After making up his mind, Li Xiaobai began to review the information in his mind.

The Divine Continent is a world where humans and demons coexist. Since the bloody war between the two races 129,600 years ago, the Hundred Thousand Mountains have served as the boundary. Although friction continues, they have lived in peace until now.

The cultivation levels of the demon race are divided into ten stages, corresponding to the Qi Refining stage to the Tribulation Transcending stage of the human race. In a one-on-one fight at the same stage, the demon race is slightly stronger than the human race.

Ordinary beasts can draw qi into their bodies and become demon beasts, just like human cultivators. After reaching the third level of cultivation, they can refine the transverse bone in their throats and speak human language. They can also choose to transform into human form.

Treasures are classified into different levels...

The lengthy document made Li Xiaobai dizzy and lightheaded. He didn't even finish reading it before his head drooped and he lost consciousness.

I don't know if she fell asleep or fainted from hunger...

The physique bonus from the system, consisting of 3 units, began to subtly alter his physical condition, while a small bead resembling a gallstone slowly began to form inside his abdomen.

It's probably because I've been a person for a long time.

During this time… Li Xiaobai didn’t even notice! The cave, which should have been filled with the smell of wild animals, was not smelly at all, but instead filled with the fresh air of the mountains.

"Hmph, how could I... perish so easily!"

"Hmm? The mortal realm? A demonic body? So be it. Even if I have nothing, I am still the mighty Empress Changge, who has reigned supreme throughout eternity!"

Just as Li Xiaobai curled up in a ball, as if this position could keep his stomach from getting too hungry, his round little head lifted slightly.

Am I delirious with hunger? How come I can hear a woman's voice?

"Ha, I have actually fallen so low as to be born alongside these two mortal beasts."

The voice had a mature and sophisticated feel to it, but just listening to it made Li Xiaobai's head ache, as if he couldn't even bear to hear it.

That's... the little white snake's voice?!

"This demonic body does possess some merit. Even in the lower realms, I am certain I can return to my peak and slaughter my way back to the Immortal Realm! I will drag those damned beings out one by one and grind their bones to dust!"

At this moment, the little black snake raised its head and looked at the little white snake. Its dark tongue flicked out, and a hint of extreme mockery flashed in its triangular eyes!

"I never imagined that the dignified Empress Changge would act like such a timid girl. No wonder you were slaughtered by the alien bastards and your body was never recovered, leaving you to be reborn in the mortal realm."

Li Xiaobai was stunned.

Another clear, domineering voice, yet tinged with a hint of sinister intent.

What's going on? My older brother and sister are all big shots, and I'm just a vegetarian snake? Also, they clearly didn't say anything, so this is... Soul's voice?!

Is it really that amazing?!

The little white snake was also stunned for a moment, raising half its body and exuding an unparalleled sense of oppression: "Demon Lord... Li Wuyai?!"

Li Wuyai's voice was solemn: "Su Changge, it's been a long time."

Su Changge sneered: "Before this battle, I heard that the Demon Lord personally led 108 demons to invade Tianyuan, vowing to restore the world to our human race and establish an immortal achievement."

"What, what makes you so wretched, reduced to the body of a demon from the lower realm? If you had cooperated with me back then, you wouldn't be in this state now."

Su Changge's words pierced Li Wuya's lungs with every single one.

Li Xiaobai, who was secretly watching, never expected that a snake's face could have such vivid expressions.

Li Wuyai angrily flicked his tail: "I'm not playing anymore, I'm leaving!"

As he spoke, the biggest but skinny little black snake began to wriggle out.

Su Changge sneered: "I'm kindly reminding you that you'd better stay here, since you died fighting for your clan. Otherwise, if you crawl out like this, you'll soon be devoured by mortal beasts, bringing shame to my immortal realm."

Li Wuyai turned around and stared fiercely at Su Changge, his cold vertical pupils radiating a scarlet killing intent.

After a long while, the killing intent dissipated, and Li Wuyai returned to his original spot and curled up into a ball.

"If I were to leave now, you hypocritical woman, wouldn't you devour this little flower snake?"

"Su Changge, what do you think?"

Su Changge patted his tail lightly in anger: "I have been given another chance to live by chance. This is Heaven's way of not abandoning me."

"No, I mean, what do you think of this flower?"

Li Wuyai stuck his tongue out at Li Xiaobai: "How about... we eat it?"
