Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

After Cai Lin woke up, Xiao Jue got up with her and went to see the four elders of the Snake-People Clan. Although the four of them could not compare with Xiao Jue and Cai Lin in terms of strength, they were all Cai Lin's elders.

Before she evolved into the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python, she was only at the peak of the Dou Huang level. The four elders of the Snake-People Clan used the Five Snake Poison Seal with her more than once to fight against other Dou Zong powerhouses.

Xiao Jue followed Cai Lin through several secluded paths, and after a while, the two finally stopped in front of a bamboo house hidden in the deepest part of the bamboo forest.

Cai Lin stopped in front of the bamboo house and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

As the knocking ended, an aged voice came from inside the bamboo house.

The door opened with a sound, and Cai Lin glanced at Xiao Jue before turning and entering. Xiao Jue naturally followed her in.

In his perception, the four snake-people elders inside were all low-star Dou Zong in strength, and they were able to break through to the Dou Zong realm because of the Breakthrough Pill that Xiao Jue had Cai Lin bring back.

As Xiao Jue stepped inside, the door to the bamboo house automatically closed.

Upon entering the bamboo house, a soft light suddenly rose up, and then in the spacious room, four aged figures appeared in Xiao Jue's sight. On a futon to the side, Cai Lin was sitting quietly cross-legged.

As if sensing Xiao Jue's footsteps, an old woman in the center slowly opened her eyes, her diamond-shaped pupils locking onto Xiao Jue like a venomous snake.

As she opened her eyes, the other three old women also suddenly opened their eyes, and four chilling auras rose up, eventually converging together to form a giant black python in mid-air.

The giant python's emotionless eyes were fixed on Xiao Jue, and an invisible pressure quietly arose, eventually gathering on Xiao Jue's body like a thousand pounds of force.

"Tsk!"

Xiao Jue clicked his tongue, casually sat down next to Cai Lin, and reached out to pull her into his arms.

"Stop fooling around!" Cai Lin snorted and turned her head away from Xiao Jue.

At the same time, a hint of surprise flashed in the cloudy eyes of the old woman in the center. Then, the giant python of aura above her head gradually dissipated, and she slowly said, "You are Xiao Jue, the number one alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire?"

Her voice was quite unpleasant, like a stone scraping against glass, leaving one with an uncomfortable feeling all over.

Of course, with Xiao Jue's strength, he could easily filter out this feeling. He politely bowed to the four old women and then smiled, "Junior Xiao Jue greets the four senior snake-people."

"I never expected that you would become a seventh-grade alchemist at such a young age. You are truly a person with exceptional talent."

The old woman in the middle gave Xiao Jue an ugly, even sinister smile, and then said, "I am the Great Elder of the Snake-People Clan, and this is the Second Elder, the Third Elder, and the Fourth Elder."

Following the movement of the elder's withered fingers, Xiao Jue politely bowed to each of them. After all, appearances had to be maintained.

"The main reason I summoned Master Xiao Jue today is to ask him something." After the introduction, the Grand Elder's diamond-shaped eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke in a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

Xiao Jue grasped Cai Lin's hand and smiled, "Elder, please speak."

"This matter concerns our clan leader, Medusa." The elder's voice was calm and even, without much fluctuation. "Our clan leader was a virgin before she was able to take human form. Of course, Medusa has indeed taken human form now."

"But as the chieftain of the snake-people, one must undergo a baptism at the clan's altar before being allowed to have sexual relations with humans. This time, the chieftain has returned, but she is no longer a virgin. From what she says, is this related to you?"

As he finished speaking, the elder's voice suddenly turned stern, and four cold, sharp gazes shot out, locking onto Xiao Jue.

"good."

Xiao Jue nodded. Of course, there was no need to deny such a thing. However, he looked at Cai Lin with a puzzled expression. Why were these four old guys acting like this?

Putting aside Xiao Jue's strength and alchemy skills, the fact that those four old guys were able to break through to the Dou Zong realm was all thanks to the Breakthrough Pill that Xiao Jue had Cai Lin bring back.

"According to the clan rules, Master Xiao Jue should be subjected to the punishment of being devoured by ten thousand snakes..." The Second Elder, who was sitting next to the First Elder, suddenly said in a sinister tone.

Seeing Xiao Jue's slightly gloomy expression, Cai Lin frowned. She didn't want to see Xiao Jue and the elders have such a tense situation. Moreover, the four elders had said that they had no reason to make things difficult for Xiao Jue. Why?

"That's easy." Xiao Jue chuckled and said, "Why don't the four of you go to the Soul Realm first and help me kill the Soul Emperor? While you're at it, bring back the Void Devouring Flame after you've scattered its soul. At that time, I'll accept whatever punishment you get, even if you die without a complete corpse, let alone the punishment of being devoured by ten thousand snakes."

"Heh, he's definitely a tough nut to crack." The First Elder glanced at Xiao Jue and raised his eyebrows. Although he had never heard of the Soul Emperor, he guessed that he was a Dou Zun powerhouse.

The latest novel is first published here!

The elder immediately waved his hand and said, "Alright, I won't scare you anymore. Now that the Snake People are allied with the Gama Empire, they might need your help in the future. Of course, I won't let you suffer the punishment of being devoured by ten thousand snakes."

"Elder," Cai Lin gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Jue is already a Dou Sheng!"

Xiao Jue hurriedly stopped her and scolded, "Although the four elders are so old, they are not senile. Don't lie to people."

Xiao Jue was happy to see someone trying to scare him, and not with any malicious intent, so he was willing to play along. He couldn't let Cai Lin ruin his plans.

Cai Lin rolled her eyes at Xiao Jue, annoyed. She had already figured out what the four elders were thinking and was speechless. Xiao Jue had already given her the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, which was used to perform the Snake-People Clan's secret technique. There might be even more advanced pills later. Why did they need to pretend to extort her?

The First Elder and the other three elders exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "During the baptism of the clan leader this time, the four of us used a secret method to detect a tiny life force in the clan leader's abdomen... It seems to be a sign of pregnancy."

"The Snake People are different from humans, and the patriarch's evolved form this time is the ancient beast Devouring Python, so naturally it is somewhat different from ordinary people. Pregnancy for a year or even several years is not a rare thing."

"That life force is very weak. If we don't use secret methods to investigate, we will hardly be able to sense it. As for whether this faint life force is a sign of pregnancy, we still need to investigate."

"However, if this is true, then our Serpent People will have another descendant with Medusa's bloodline, which is an extremely important event for our clan!"

As he finished speaking, a blush rose to the Grand Elder's face, and his eyes gleamed with excitement. (End of Chapter)
