Chapter 1672: Chapter 1004: Is the Yamata no Orochi Xiangliu?
“The altar over there can communicate with the Immortals outside.”
“There’s also a rumor within the Asura clan that the altar might contain the legacy left by the Immortals before they departed.”
“This legacy includes a way to leave the Netherworld, and even the means to control the entire Netherworld.”
Liang Yuan, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but think of what Gu Feng and the others had said.
He wondered, “Does such a legacy really exist?”
“Would those superpower users who’ve left the Netherworld be so kind-hearted as to leave their inheritance to strangers they may not even know?”
Liang Yuan asks himself, if one day he were forced to leave Blue Star, the ownership of the Yangshan Shelter would only belong to his son, Liang Hong.
How could he possibly leave it to others?
However, Liang Yuan suddenly had another thought that popped into his mind.
“Could it be that these high-ranking officials of the Netherworld have left, along with their family and descendants?”
Liang Yuan thought if this were the case, then it might be possible.
“Then has anyone tried to explore those altars?”
“Yes, ever since the Immortals disappeared, countless people have tried to ascend the altar to communicate with the Immortals.”
“Initially, we could receive responses from the Immortals, but as time went on, we couldn’t get any response at all.”
“As for the so-called legacy, we don’t really know what it is.”
“Maybe the Asura clan knows about it, but almost none of them are alive now.”
“If the surviving Asura clan members knew how to use the altar, they would have tried it.”
“So I suspect the so-called legacy is completely fake.”
What Meng Ting said made Liang Yuan nod slightly.
He also doesn’t see any inevitable connection here.
But after Ling Yurong and the others ascended the altar, their Spiritual Power left the body; where exactly did it go?
Moreover, what is the connection between this Netherworld Cave Heaven and the Eight-headed Great Serpent outside?
These questions leave people puzzled.
Liang Yuan asked, “Have you seen a creature with eight heads and eight tails?”
Meng Ting was stunned upon hearing this: “Eight heads and eight tails? What kind of monster is that?”
Liang Yuan said, “It’s called the Eight-headed Great Serpent.”
Meng Ting shook her head: “I’ve never heard of it. Among the monsters I know, they either have nine heads, but I’ve never heard of eight.”
“When the Blood River Ancestor once ruled the Netherworld, he captured a great shaman from the Ancient Times, which had nine heads.”
“But later, the Blood River Ancestor subdued it, and no one knows where it went.”
“Apart from that, I haven’t heard of any creature with eight heads.”
Said without intention, listened with purpose.
Liang Yuan immediately asked, “What kind of creature with nine heads?”
Meng Ting scratched her head and said, “I don’t know what it looks like, just that it’s passed down orally in the clan, often used to scare children.”
“I only know it’s called Xiangliu, a great shaman from ancient times.”
Liang Yuan was taken aback, Xiangliu?
This name is very familiar.
In mythical stories, Xiangliu is a member of the shaman clan, causing chaos alongside Chiyou.
Later, it was captured by the Yellow Emperor and had its head cut off…
“Wait! Cut off one head?”
Liang Yuan suddenly realized, his expression abruptly changed.
The Eight-headed Great Serpent has eight heads, exactly one less!
Could this Eight-headed Great Serpent actually be Xiangliu?
The more Liang Yuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the tiny island nation of Japan would give birth to such a colossal mutant beast?
Where does Japan come up with its mythology?
Mostly it’s copying Dragon Country’s mythology.
So could the so-called Eight-headed Great Serpent originally be Dragon Country’s Xiangliu?
And moreover, an Xiangliu that had one head cut off.
Or perhaps Xiangliu, after being decapitated by the Yellow Emperor, escaped to the vicinity of Japan, where it was seen by the ancestors of Japan at that time?
These thoughts flashed through Liang Yuan’s mind.
“If the Eight-headed Great Serpent really is Xiangliu, then it’s definitely not a simple mutant beast; it surely possesses intelligence no less than humans.”
Liang Yuan recalled that when the Eight-headed Great Serpent saw him entering its body and following the chain into the Netherworld Cave Heaven, its eyes were filled with a hint of cunning.
This indicates the creature completely sensed his entry, yet it chose to do nothing, allowing him to enter this space.
Furthermore, with Ling Yurong and the others’ strength, wanting to enter this space without the Eight-headed Great Serpent’s permission would be impossible.
Liang Yuan shook his head, believing this matter isn’t so simple.
“The biggest issue now is how to awaken Ling Yurong and the others.”
“If they cannot wake up, even if I take them away, their consciousness might still be trapped somewhere.”
Liang Yuan felt a headache, caught in a dilemma.
Firstly, concerning Spiritual Power, he naturally cannot easily risk it by following Ling Yurong and the others onto the altar.
This would mean sending his Spiritual Power through the altar’s transmission channel to some unknown place.
If that place turned out to be extremely dangerous, then his strand of Split Mind would be totally lost.
Secondly, there’s the Eight-headed Great Serpent outside.
If this Eight-headed Great Serpent isn’t dealt with, even rescuing Ling Yurong and others won’t guarantee escape.
“It seems the only solution now is to find a way to deal with this Eight-headed Great Serpent first.”
“But this Eight-headed Great Serpent is already at Star God Level; relying on numbers won’t solve the problem.”
“If I rely solely on myself, it might still not be enough.”
“My main body has just entered Star God Level; whether it’s Magnetic Field Domain or other aspects, the gap with the Eight-headed Great Serpent is too big.”
Liang Yuan frowned, unable to think of a breakthrough method at the moment.
“Master, have you encountered any problems?”
Meng Ting saw Liang Yuan frowning and asked quickly.
Liang Yuan looked at her, then suddenly had a thought.
He’s unable to think of a solution because he’s not familiar with this world.
The Meng Ting before him is someone from the Netherworld Cave Heaven, far more knowledgeable about this place than he is.
Perhaps she has some ideas, who knows.
Liang Yuan immediately began to share the situation he encountered.
“Actually, the few of us came from Blue Star… uh, the human realm in your mouth.”
“Ah? You came from the human realm?”
“How is that possible? The human realm has long been unsuitable for cultivators!”
Meng Ting was shocked, exclaiming in disbelief.
Liang Yuan explained, “The Great Catastrophe (Great Flood) has come again; Spiritual Energy (Superpowers) has revived, and now people can cultivate in the human realm again.”
“What?”
Meng Ting was surprised and delighted: “Is this true?”
“No wonder I’ve felt my strength growing recently; maybe the Netherworld’s Spiritual Energy has increased.”
She then excitedly added, “Right, with the arrival of the Great Catastrophe, according to the clan’s sayings, the Netherworld’s leaders should return.”
Just as she finished speaking, suddenly two strange thumping sounds were heard, coming from the direction of the nearby coffins.
In an instant, Liang Yuan, Gu Feng, and Shi Haizhu were startled, promptly turning their heads to look towards those coffins!
