Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 242 The Descendants of Nine Infants

Chapter 242 Descendants of the Nine-Headed Serpent (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan was not about to let the bloodthirsty mosquito king get away!

Water-attribute monsters are already rare in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.

Moreover, this bloodthirsty mosquito king, although relatively weak and small in size.

There is not much essence or blood.

However, they are descendants of the ancient ferocious beast, the Bloodwing Black Mosquito.

Although its ferocious beast bloodline is so faint as to be almost negligible.

It remains a rare and highly nutritious substance in Shen Xuan's eyes.

The bloodthirsty mosquito king spread its blood-red wings and instantly disappeared into another cloud of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.

Its demonic body shrank to the size of an ordinary bloodthirsty mosquito in an instant.

If it were any other cultivator, they would surely have fled.

After all, finding a single king mosquito among hundreds of thousands of blood-sucking mosquitoes is no easy task!
Unfortunately, Shen Xuan had already locked onto the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King using the [Insight Technique].

[Ice Soul Dao Body] Fully activated.

His whole body exuded a bone-chilling coldness.

Wherever the sight passes.

The swarms of bloodthirsty mosquitoes froze into snowflakes and fell to the ground.

The only one left, capable of withstanding the chilling cold of the Ice Soul, must undoubtedly be the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King.

Then, Shen Xuan used the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique] to catch up directly.

Seeing that it could not get rid of Shen Xuan, the bloodthirsty mosquito king actually made a thunderous sound from its long proboscis.

With a tremor of its demonic body, it instantly transformed into tens of thousands of bloodthirsty mosquito kings, which swarmed towards Shen Xuan from all directions.

"Well done!"

Shen Xuan's eyes lit up.

He was also worried that the bloodthirsty mosquito king's bloodline was too weak to plunder good bloodline talents.

Now it seems that even the Bloodwing Black Mosquito's countless illusions are performed quite well.

However, no matter how many illusions you have, it's useless.

The Bloodthirsty Mosquito King itself has relatively weak demonic power and poor defense.

They are particularly vulnerable to icy energy.

Shen Xuan summoned the Water Purification Bottle and sprayed out a water column with a diameter of more than ten feet, which turned into water mist that covered a distance of a hundred feet.

He then pushed the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique] to its limit.

"Water mist melts ice!"

With Shen Xuan's shout.

The myriad illusory forms screamed as they were enveloped by layers of icy spiritual energy, eventually dissipating.

Only one true form of the bloodthirsty mosquito king remained, frantically fleeing.

However, within Shen Xuan's frozen domain, there was no way to escape!
Driven by Shen Xuan's divine sense, clusters of icy spiritual energy condensed into layers of azure ice walls, trapping the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King within.

Then, the azure ice wall closed in, and the chilling power of ice condensed into a ball of ice spirit shield, which continuously seeped into the bloodthirsty mosquito king's demonic body.

No matter how much it screamed and howled, it only delayed the compression of the Ice Spirit Shield.

In the end, the bloodthirsty mosquito king was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Shen Xuan was overjoyed and put the animal into the beast pouch.

At this moment, Qianzhu Jushi and Qi Wanqing arrived.

"Master Shen, you are truly skilled!"

Qianzhu Jushi remotely controlled four sword-and-shield puppets, warily looking around.

"Just lucky. The bloodthirsty mosquito king is not cold-resistant."

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

One bloodthirsty mosquito king is probably not enough.

Since this creature breeds swarms of demonic mosquitoes, there must be others nearby.

Then, Shen Xuan summoned the Golden Claw Divine Eagle Corpse Beast and used its eagle-eye vision to survey the surrounding area.

Sure enough, deep in the dense forest, there were vast swathes of red, bloodthirsty mosquitoes.

"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Shen Xuan transformed into a streak of azure lightning and flew into the depths of the dense forest.

Qianzhu Jushi and Qi Wanqing exchanged a glance.

The two of them couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.

The strength that Shen Xuan had displayed in the past few days had left the two of them in awe.

Although they are both in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Qianzhu Jushi was also a disciple of the sect.

If he were to face Shen Xuan.

There is absolutely no chance of winning.

In fact, they underestimated Shen Xuan.

If it really came down to a battle of wits, the two of them together wouldn't stand a chance of winning.

This is also why Shen Xuan dared to venture into the dense forest alone.

As long as there are no Core Formation cultivators or third-tier demon kings.

Shen Xuan dares to walk sideways.

He still has three Divine Thunder Talismans, his real trump card, which he hasn't used yet.

Although it was only nurtured for five years.

But Foundation Establishment cultivators, even those in the late Foundation Establishment stage, whether they are demonic or spiritual cultivators.

Anyone struck by the Divine Thunder Talisman will be severely injured.

This is a powerful weapon that Shen Xuan nurtured by consuming five years of his Dao Foundation Source Spiritual Power.

……

Qianzhu Jushi and Qi Wanqing waited in the same spot for an hour.

Here, large numbers of bloodthirsty mosquitoes fell.

Qi Wanqing simply collected the remains of these bloodthirsty mosquitoes.

Although it's only a low-grade first-level item, it's not worth much.

But there are too many.

There are over a million of them.

Perhaps Fellow Daoist Shen can find this useful.

At this moment, a subtle change occurred in Qi Wanqing's heart.

For some reason, I had developed some expectations for Shen Xuan.

Two hours later.

A streak of azure light flew over at lightning speed.

It was Shen Xuan.

"Did Master Shen make any progress?" asked the Hermit of Thousand Bamboo.

"Fortunately!"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

He also captured two more bloodthirsty mosquito kings.

Later, they encountered a swarm of flying ants.

These are metal-attribute monsters.

Its shell is hard and resistant to fire and ice.

Shen Xuan was too lazy to get entangled with them, so he used lightning escape technique to return.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, these are the remains of those bloodthirsty mosquitoes."

Qi Wanqing offered the animal pouch.

"Yes, thank you, Fellow Daoist Qi."

Shen Xuan took it.

He left in a hurry and didn't have time to pack up.

This does not mean that he is willing to abandon these bloodthirsty mosquito carcasses.

That's a number in the millions.

He used up a lot of his spiritual power to freeze these bloodthirsty mosquitoes.

Most of the purified water in the water purifier bottle has been used up.

"You're welcome, it's nothing."

"Let's go! A huge swarm of flying ants is coming soon!"

"it is good!"

The Hermit of Thousand Bamboo commanded the sword-and-shield puppets to clear the way.

The three continued on their way, emerging from the dense forest of demonic insects.

"Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, Fellow Daoist Qi, please wait a moment."

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I promised a fellow Daoist that I would bury him at Wangyue Lake."

In fact, Shen Xuan had another purpose.

This is to replenish the spiritual water in the purification bottle. This is related to his combat ability and cannot be ignored.

"Wangyue Lake? That's fine too."

After examining the geographical jade slip, Qianzhu Jushi pondered for a moment and then agreed.

As for Qi Wanqing...

She was just a follower, so naturally she had no right to speak.

However, Qi Wanqing expressed her welcome to Wangyue Lake.

“Going to Wangyue Lake is great! Sister Ruyi said there are many rare spiritual herbs there.”

The Azure Spirit Realm will be open for forty-nine days.

It's only the seventh day now.

There is plenty of time; there is no need to rush.

……

a few days later.

Shen Xuan and his two companions arrived at Wangyue Lake.

It was dusk.

The lake surface rippled with silver waves, serene and profound.

There was a gentle breeze.

The towering ancient trees by the lake swayed gently, and the clear, emerald-green lake water rippled in layers.

Shen Xuan lightly made a hand seal, summoning the Pure Water Bottle, with its mouth facing upside down towards Wangyue Lake.

Like a dragon drawing water, the lake water surged into the water purifier.

Soon, it filled the 100-square-meter space in the water bottle.

Shen Xuan took out the fragments of the corpse of the demonic cultivator surnamed Li and scattered them into Wangyue Lake.

This attracted countless unknown fish and shrimp, which devoured the fragments of the demonic cultivator surnamed Li's corpse.

Shen Xuan watched quietly.

At this moment, he felt little sadness.

Rather, it conveys a sense of inexplicable etherealness.

It evokes a sense of sudden enlightenment, like the saying, "Originally there was nothing, so where can dust settle?"

Cultivators, unwilling to succumb to despair, defy fate and go against the natural order.

Ultimately, the vast majority, like this demonic cultivator surnamed Li, returned to dust.

Thinking about it.

The lake water suddenly began to ripple in an unusual way.

"Master Shen, something big is here!"

Qianzhu Jushi reminded him.

Shen Xuan stared intently at it.

In the depths of the lake, the outline of a small mountain is slowly rising.

"It's a water spirit. And of a high rank."

Shen Xuan gestured for Qianzhu Jushi and Qi Wanqing to step back.

He then drew his Azure Water Sword and held it horizontally in front of him.

Soon, huge waves rose up on the lake.

A tremendous suction force drew all the lake water near the fragments of the demonic cultivator surnamed Li's corpse.

"A dragon sucking water? Another serpent?"

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Shen Xuan was immediately shaken.

Then came a deep moo from an old cow.

This confirmed Shen Xuan's suspicion that a serpent indeed lived deep within the lake.

However, it's unclear what type it is.

"That's right, the spiritual lake in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm is suitable for the life of the dragon snake."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

The serpent prefers to live in seclusion in lakes, deep pools, or rivers. After cultivating itself to its full potential, it travels along rivers to the sea and transforms into a divine dragon.

During the process of a serpent transforming into a dragon, it causes floods, torrential rains, and other storms, a phenomenon commonly known as "the serpent's journey."

Shen Xuan once hunted down a Crimson Flame Serpent.

Its actual strength is slightly higher than that of a regular second-tier mid-grade.

But as long as he didn't reach the third level, Shen Xuan was not afraid.

The Azure Water Sword emitted bursts of sword cries, eager to be used.

Suddenly, the voice of Mingxiu Li Ruyi came from behind.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, be careful, it's a nine-headed dragon!"

The voice just fell.

A spray of water shot into the sky.

In the center of Wangyue Lake, a dragon-like creature over ten zhang long stands tall.

Strangely, the serpent has nine heads, all of which resemble human heads.

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

This nine-headed serpent possesses extraordinary bloodline and is very likely a descendant of the ferocious beast Jiuying.

However, the nine-headed serpent before them possessed formidable demonic power, ranking as a high-grade second-tier serpent.

With his current strength, it would be difficult for him to hunt down this fiend without suffering any damage.

"You guys retreat first!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qianzhu Jushi and Qi Wanqing quickly retreated.

Shen Xuan looked up, confronting the nine-headed serpent, the Azure Water Sword protecting him as he slowly retreated.

There's no need to fight this water demon to the death.

The nine-headed dragon looked at Shen Xuan curiously.

A strange smile appeared in the deep, dark eyes of the dragon.

It did not launch an attack.

In the suffocating atmosphere, Shen Xuan retreated to a distance of a hundred feet from the shore of Wangyue Lake.

At this moment, Qianzhu Jushi and Qi Wanqing were already a thousand feet away.

It is estimated that they have retreated from the attack range of the nine-headed serpent.

Shen Xuan then activated the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique].

Several arcs of lightning enveloped his body.

After several lightning escapes, Shen Xuan returned to Qianzhu Jushi and Qi Wanqing's side.

"Pity!"

Shen Xuan said with some regret, "If I had broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, I would have been able to hunt down this nine-headed dragon!"

They finally encountered a water-attribute monster of decent quality, but failed to hunt it down due to insufficient strength.

This left Shen Xuan feeling deeply regretful.

Beside her, Qi Wanqing asked curiously, "I've heard that the Nine-Path Flood Dragon is ferocious, possesses both water and fire attributes, and likes to devour cultivators and mortals."

"Why didn't it make a move just now?"

The Hermit of Thousand Bamboo said calmly, "It dares not make a move. This kind of demonic beast is quite intelligent. Master Shen's strength is superb, and the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon has no chance of winning."

"Master Shen, is what Qianzhu said correct?"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

Just now, he used the Azure Water Sword to condense water qi sword energy, emitting bursts of sword cries, which was a warning to the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon.

It’s not that we can’t beat them.

Rather, it's not worth it.

With Shen Xuan's current strength, if he were to fight the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon by the lake, he would have at least a 70% chance of severely injuring it.

If it sinks to the bottom of the lake.

The outcome between Shen Xuan and the Nine Flood Dragons is evenly matched.

Using the Divine Thunder Talisman would increase the chances of victory by three points.

It would be quite difficult to completely kill the nine-headed serpent.

If things go wrong, Shen Xuan might get injured and damage his Dao foundation.

The nine-headed serpent could sense a life-threatening danger emanating from Shen Xuan.

This kind of monster possesses the bloodline of a ferocious beast and has a remarkably keen intuition.

Without absolute certainty, one should not act rashly.

The two faced off for a while.

Shen Xuan withdrew from his living territory, Wangyue Lake.

The nine-headed serpent slowly sank into the lake.

Monsters also bully the weak and fear the strong.
