Chapter 455: Holy Snake Mountain (2)
Boom!
The cave shook thrice, and two warriors spun in place as if drunk.
"Hmm—, I see, so this is how it is here." Li Changzhou studied the tail of the Nuwa Clan girl.
"You, you!" She Rang tore off the snake tooth necklace and used it as a dagger to stab at Li Changzhou.
Li Changzhou stomped his foot again.
Boom!
She Rang was dizzy, and the figure of the Snake Clan woman was graceful, looking like she was dancing, with her slender waist...
"Oh, this is how the snake tail connects to the human body, huh? What's this? A cloaca? Barbaric era snakes already use a single opening for excretion and reproduction? Oh, no, there's more here, sorry."
Two Snake Clan warriors helped She Rang away, their faces full of indignation, saying they would find someone to kill him.
Li Changzhou leisurely finished the barbaric cuisine laid out on the leaves, and no one came to kill him, only an old snake man came to clean up the remnants.
"Any wine? Bring me two jars!" Li Changzhou lay contentedly on a bed big enough for thirty wives.
The animal hides were comfortable and warm, better than any bed he had in the modern world.
After a while, the old man brought over a big vat of wine and a stone-made wine bowl.
By nightfall, Li Changzhou was already drunk, his snores thunderous, causing the cave to shake.
Two Snake Clan warriors trembled along with the snores, exchanging glances filled with inexplicable disdain and annoyance.
Inside the cave, Li Changzhou got up from the "Li Changzhou" that was snoring on the bed, and he walked out of the cave, his legs turning into a snake tail after seven steps.
"Whoo!!!"
The cave echoed with a rumbling sound following the snores.
Two Snake Clan warriors, unable to bear the nuisance, closed their eyes, their teeth bared in frustration, as Li Changzhou walked between them.
The next moment, they opened their eyes again.
"Where did this child come from, go, go, don't come here!" the Snake Clan warrior on the right scolded.
Li Changzhou smiled as he swam away.
At merely two meters with the snake tail, in the Nuwa Clan where the average height was three meters starting, he was indeed a child.
Li Changzhou confidently wandered through the Nuwa Clan.
No wonder it was the Wilderness, no wonder it was the Nuwa Clan's holy land, every piece of soil under his feet exuded an auspicious aura.
Not to mention the Song Dynasty where the White Lady lived, even in the Primordial era's Tang Dynasty, this kind of divine soil was first-rate, only some major sects could use it to make medicine gardens.
From time to time, floating islands surrounded Holy Snake Mountain, entirely golden, their nature unknown. Just taking a distant breath, Li Changzhou felt his mana filled.
There must be holy relics on the island equal to the level of nine-thousand-year-old Flat Peaches.
Unfortunately, "Rooted" was banned, otherwise in this land full of treasures and wilderness, who knows how many 'Eternal Sand World Fruits' could be gathered, and how many kinds of treasures' 'roots' could grow.
Satisfying his curiosity, Li Changzhou picked a brightly lit place. Before getting close, he saw maids and slaves coming and going without pause.
He stopped a maid and asked, "What's going on inside?"
"Replying to the lord, Lord Snake Wei is hosting a banquet for the Gong Gong Clan, Qiangliang Tribe, and Qingqiu Country envoys attending the Heaven Mending Conference."
"Quite lively." Li Changzhou took the pastries from the maid's hands, waved, and said, "This plate's mine, go fetch another."
"Yes!" The maid dared not resist and quickly left.
Li Changzhou, eating pastries, entered the bustling hall. The people inside didn't seem to be big shots, at least not based on their aura.
Every one of them was drunkenly tipsy, with women of various tribes dancing, and at the center was a fox with four tails.
The fox didn't seem like a dancer; its demeanor and posture were more like a guest coming down to join.
"Bravo!!" As soon as he entered, he heard a landslide of applause.
"Su Caicai is truly Qingqiu Country's best dancer!"
The four-tailed fox named Su Caicai indeed had a captivating figure, and her expression was even more enchanting, with even the slightest movements of her four fox tails tickling at the heart.
Li Changzhou glanced around and picked a half-drunk Nuwa Clan member.
After a few words, they became fast friends.
Li Changzhou grabbed a wine cup, boldly saying, "If we've never been drunk together, how can we call ourselves close friends? Come, Brother Gu, I'll finish this first!"
"Such a phrase, 'If we've never been drunk together, how can we call ourselves close friends'? For brother, I'll drink too!"
Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp~
She Gu collapsed with a loud thud, as Li Changzhou casually walked away.
The Nuwa Clan has two Holy Daughters, one named She Lan, rumored to possess a chaos snake body, and wields Yin Yang Qi, known for her cold personality and rarely seeing outsiders.
But she remains a renowned figure in the Wilderness, not only because of her chaotic snake body but also her exquisite beauty.
Isn't this Yang Qinglan?
Li Changzhou asked where the Holy Daughter resided and then laid down in the Snake Valley, tirelessly, no, ceaselessly rushed to the mountaintop tail-in-tail.
Mountaintop, naturally heavily guarded, even with a snake's tail, Li Changzhou couldn't ascend, but there was a cliff on this Holy Snake Mountain, with chaotic seasons, shadowy waters, and the Six True Flames, calling upon stones and swirling sand.
This was nothing, but the vital energy within was extremely peculiar, capable of stirring the four seasons inside the human body.
Even a Divine Position master would be stirred, with inner organs transforming into the Five Elements, persisting will lead to being refined alive.
Li Changzhou was not afraid.
His five organs had long been refined, if not for Bone Forging being incomplete, each organ could wield the power of a planet.
Not able to exhibit now, but the quantity and nature were present, they wouldn't be easily shaken.
A cliff that spelled doom for Divine Position experts was smoothly traversed by him, akin to a black arrow soaring against the heavens.
But beyond twenty thousand zhang, over sixty thousand meters from the ground, he also began to struggle. Not only were the seasons severe, but gravity had changed here.
Another rise of five thousand zhang, all his bones creaked!
"What place is this, the 'Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique'-honed body can't withstand it!" Guanyin exclaimed in surprise.
The Wilderness was wealthier than the Primordial times, but in terms of Daoist Law's prosperity, the Primordial Era where the Tao Ancestor preached thrice absolutely triumphed.
The "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique" was personally passed by the Tao Ancestor, capable of cultivating the physical body to 'Saint' level through Heavenly Divine Skill.
Consider Li Changzhou's [Divine Body], compared to the physical body alone, even average Heavenly Immortals fell short.
Such a physique couldn't even scale a defenseless cliff?
"Perhaps that's why it's undefended." Li Changzhou no longer flew, starting to climb with hands and feet.
Fortunately, his divine power was immense, his control over his body unparalleled, climbing with ease and precision.
Reaching the mountain peak, even the Divine Body had to catch its breath.
For average Divine Position, enduring the chaotic seasons wasn't the question, nor having such endurance and strength.
"You could try using the 'Black Mist' to devour," Guanyin suggested.
Li Changzhou smiled a little.
Guanyin knew what he was thinking. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of it, rather he wanted to see if he could ascend relying on his physical body alone.
In Li Changzhou's view, only his body and thoughts were his true strength; everything else was "weapons," external items.
When fighting others, use them if available, but in non-life-threatening situations, he liked to refine and challenge his physical body.
Moreover, what if the fourth opportunity to strengthen the body appeared again?
Li Changzhou never missed any opportunity, like learning skills from anime characters during activities participated by all Players.
Evening his breath, Li Changzhou left the cliff with large strides—already retracting his snake tail midway.
Holy Snake Mountain's peak had lakes embedded like gemstones, thin white mist hovering above, containing many buildings—palaces, wooden houses, or boats.
At this moment, the vast galaxy shone, the world spacious, the sight before him was like an Immortal Realm.
Li Changzhou approached a lake, looked closely at the water, and was shocked to find it was liquefied Innate Essence.
Unlike ordinary essence which required refining, Innate Essence could be directly absorbed; what's in the Flat Peach is Innate Essence, one gulp, resulting in actual mana.
The people residing on the mountain peak were simply soaking in Flat Peach juice.
Even throwing a pig in, it might cultivate into an Earth Immortal.
Alas, without Daoist Law, Wilderness experts turned Divine Positions, with a lifespan of only three hundred.
Li Changzhou looked around, there were no guards, no maids, the buildings seemed like cold period villa attractions, deserted and empty.
Where to find Yang Qinglan?
Search room by room? But what if he stumbled into the boudoir of the contemporary Nuwa?
Moreover, time was short, he had to return before dawn, now wasn't the time to alert the snake.
Just as he was hesitant, his gaze caught a very familiar figure.
The slender, graceful figure landed on a waterside pavilion, carefully looked around, and cautiously walked inside.
As soon as she entered, she was embraced.
"Lanlan, even you have moments of thievery!"
Hot breath blew against her delicate ear, and the voice, laced with laughter, was deep and pleasant.
She Ling'er was stirred, going along with it, her body softened, leaning into Li Changzhou's embrace.
