I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2944: Chapter 1377: 5th-Tier Ba Snake

Chen Xingxing, who initially planned to teleport away, stopped in his tracks.

His face turned cold as he looked towards the Crimson Mountain shrouded in darkness.

This stench was like a ferocious beast about to emerge from the depths of the forest.

Although Chen Xingxing often lounged on a chair playing games while on gate duty, he frequently took walks in the mountain for fresh air and knew that there were absolutely no beasts exceeding Rank-2 inside the Crimson Mountain.

Even those at Rank-2 were gentle by nature and would not harm people.

Did the silly bird encounter this in the mountains?

Chen Xingxing’s expression showed a hint of realization, and at this moment, the foul wind grew stronger, and footsteps approached from afar.

Although Chen Xingxing was considered the most laid-back among all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Immortal Gate, he was not the weakest, and perhaps even the strongest. Therefore, he did not inform Deng Daoyun, Qin Beichen, and other Daoist Academy Nascent Souls, but took a step forward to block the back mountain gate, speaking coldly: "Who goes there?"

"I lost a pet, and I’ve been tracking it here, seems I’ve disturbed you, young man." A gentle voice sounded, as a tall, long-haired youth with slightly narrowed eyes emerged from the nighttime shadows of Crimson Mountain.

Upon seeing Chen Xingxing, his expression slightly froze, clearly not expecting to encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator in such a remote back mountain, so his tone was rather courteous.

Chen Xingxing’s eyes were filled with astonishment because, through assessing the aura, he found he could not see through this person’s cultivation level, finding it unfathomable.

Had this person practiced some special concealing secret technique?

Or is their cultivation not below his?

[Ah Xing, this person seems unusual.]Yu Tianguang conveyed telepathically to Chen Xingxing; he also sensed something amiss, feeling instinctive fear when facing the young man emerging from the mountains.

It’s important to remember, although his foundation had been damaged, he was now a cultivator at the late Core Formation stage, and anyone who could give him such a feeling would have to be at least a Nascent Soul.

And Yu Tianguang knew all the Nascent Souls of the Immortal Gate; none matched the young man outside.

If he wasn’t from the Immortal Gate, then the only possibility left was—Ancient Evil Path Union!

[Leave it to me; if a fight erupts later, go find the headmaster and others.]Chen Xingxing transmitted calmly to Yu Tianguang, yet his gaze remained fixed on the youth outside the door.

"Could you, young man, kindly allow me to enter and retrieve my pet?" At this time, the long-haired youth spoke with a slight smile once more.

"Outsiders wishing to enter the Daoist Academy must go through the main entrance and fill out personal information; the back door won’t suffice."

For many years, Chen Xingxing never forgot his gatekeeper duties; many outsiders had inadvertently arrived here, wanting to enter and exit, and he regularly dealt with them in this manner. Today was no different.

"Since Dance Tool Dao Academy has rules, I’ll give you face; I won’t enter. Instead, you can just hand over my pet."

Upon hearing this, the long-haired youth said this, turning his gaze to the trembling azure bird hunkered down in the cage.

Seeing his look, both Chen Xingxing and Yu Tianguang frowned.

"Is this your bird?"

"Yes, it’s a pet I’ve raised since childhood. Unfortunately, over a hundred years ago, I had to leave for some business, and when I returned, it had flown away. After searching for so long, I finally found it here. I hope you can allow us to reunite, young man."

Though the long-haired youth’s tone was earnest, Chen Xingxing caught a hint of coldness in his eyes as he looked at the azure bird.

"Words alone aren’t proof. You say it’s your pet; do you have any evidence?"

Of course, Chen Xingxing couldn’t agree; not to mention, he and Yu Tianguang had raised this silly bird for so long, treating it as a companion, and besides, it was left by Chen Mobai.

"Evidence? Let me think..."

While speaking, the long-haired youth seemed to be recalling something. After a moment, he appeared to have thought of something, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a clay pot.

As Chen Xingxing and Yu Tianguang focused their gazes, a jet-black snake suddenly sprang out, like a black lightning bolt, opening its bloody maw at them.

Faced with this sudden situation, Chen Xingxing, who had long activated his Divine Sense, formed a seal with his right hand’s five fingers. Starlight emerged around him, as if a boundless starry river descended and rapidly spread, encapsulating the area around the back mountain gate with him at the center.

Buzz!

As the starlight flowed, a large formation manifested out of thin air, like a stellar domain descending, blocking the black snake mid-air.

"Oh!"

The long-haired youth seemed slightly surprised at this scene. You must know, after this Ba Snake underwent years of cultivation, having devoured many of its kind and an entire planet sometime ago, it had finally ascended to Rank-5. For an ordinary Nascent Soul, encountering it would mean becoming its food.

Yet now, Chen Xingxing managed to obstruct it, and moreover, amidst a sudden attack, setting up a formation with a thought, fully showcasing his mastery as a Fifth Rank Formation Master.

"Why isn’t your name among the registered Fifth Rank Array Masters on the Immortal Gate’s public list?" the long-haired youth asked curiously.

"Too lazy to take the exam," Chen Xingxing replied truthfully.

This left the long-haired youth slightly speechless. Then he spat out a profound azure spiritual light, injecting it into the clay pot.

Next, under the astonished gazes of Chen Xingxing and Yu Tianguang, the black snake blocked outside the starlight formation suddenly opened its mouth without limit, turning into a black hole, swallowing both the formation and the void on which it depended in one gulp.

In an instant, the world changed.

Yu Tianguang, in horror, discovered they were no longer within Dance Tool Dao Academy but had arrived in an endless dark mysterious void.

Just like the pitch-black universe, they were as small as specks of dust.

"Old Yu, are you alright?"

Fortunately, at this moment, Chen Xingxing’s voice rang in his ears, allowing Yu Tianguang to slightly ease his mind.

"I’m fine, by the way, where’s the silly bird!"

Yu Tianguang ignited all over, piercing through the nearby darkness to see Chen Xingxing, but quickly remembered another companion.

"It’s within my formation."

Chen Xingxing pointed with his hand; a bit of starlight lit up above them, transforming into a bird cage held by Xingxuan, with the green bird inside it.

But just then, a rancid wind rushed over, and the black snake appeared from the void, opening its mouth to swallow the bird cage.

"Wretch, such nerve!"

Seeing this, Chen Xingxing’s pupils flashed golden, his emotions vanished, invoking his strongest combat power through the Guidance Book.

A radiant starlight suddenly lit up in the black snake’s mouth, transforming instantly into bright silver flames that seemed to have no temperature, yet forced the black snake to open its mouth and spit out the bird cage.

"Star Divine Fire! Isn’t this Qian Xing’s divine skill? I didn’t expect that after his death, someone could still master it."

A long-haired young man’s figure emerged from the darkness along with his words, the black snake immediately shrank, returned to the clay pot in his hand, while the Star Divine Fire dispersed like silver fireworks, shooting out from the pot’s mouth.

Seeing this, Chen Xingxing, though emotionless under the Guidance Book’s influence, was already guessing the origin of the person before him.

You must know, his Star Divine Fire was bestowed by True Monarch Qingping from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains after undergoing Nascent Soul Formation. It was said to be left by Ancestor Qian Xing for the Repairing Heaven Institute, initially only for the heirs of the Patching Heaven Lineage to refine, but given to him due to his extremely compatible attributes.

This was Fifth Rank Peak True Fire, on the same level as the Stat Fire left by Pure Yang True Monarch Chen Mobai for the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

Thus, Chen Xingxing was aware of his combat power, one of the outstanding among Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Yet he didn’t expect that today, for the first time, he would only manage to fend off a snake.

"Is this the Law Domain?"

And at this moment, Yu Tianguang finally noticed something amiss, looking at the boundless dark void around him, his face dramatically changed.

"Not at the level of Law Domain yet."

Chen Xingxing shook his head; he commanded the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, with the spirit veins of all Cave Heaven Blessed Lands in the Immortal Gate including the Yuping Small Realm of Dance Tool Dao Academy all linked within. He knew how difficult it was to ascend to Law Domain.

Among the many recorded Deity Transformation True Monarchs of the Immortal Gate’s history, only Chen Mobai truly succeeded in forming a Law Domain.

Even so, this dark void felt terrifying to Chen Xingxing, although not a Law Domain, it was still at the level of a small realm.

"This is the Void Domain within Ba Snake, any living beings entering will be thoroughly refined and devoured."

At this time, the black snake from the clay pot held by the long-haired youth extended its head again, unexpectedly speaking human words.

"And what are you?"

Yu Tianguang was even more shocked upon seeing this.

Only Chen Xingxing, in the Guidance Book state, had no emotions.

"Have you forgotten me already? But it’s normal, after all, planting the God Seed in you was something from hundreds of years ago." A silver light appeared on the black snake’s forehead, forming a mark Yu Tianguang would never forget for eternity.

"Master Shen Yuxuan!"

Yu Tianguang gritted his teeth, turning crimson, with his qi and energy erupting violently. If not for Chen Xingxing suppressing him with a finger, he would have inevitably exploded his Gold Core at the black snake.

"Don’t act impulsively."

Chen Xingxing spoke, and meanwhile, the long-haired youth released the clay pot, allowing Master Shen Yuxuan to control it himself; he walked toward the bird cage suspended in mid-air.

But Chen Xingxing snapped his fingers, and the starlight holding the bird cage quickly began to burn fiercely.

The moment the long-haired youth reached out, the Star Divine Fire turned his fingers into ashes.

With a crackling sound, the long-haired youth tore off his right hand ignited by the Star Divine Fire at the wrist, then blood surged, and a completely intact right hand regenerated.

"It seems I need to kill you first."

The long-haired youth frowned, cold eyes glaring at Chen Xingxing.

"Let’s act together; after all, this is the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Pure Yang’s kid must have left something behind, if alarmed, even we two may overturn." With the Devour God Technique controlling Ba Snake, Master Shen Yuxuan spoke.

"Since appearing with Master Shen Yuxuan, you must be the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor of the Ancient Evil Path Union." At this time, Chen Xingxing asked the long-haired youth.

"Indeed, I didn’t expect someone still remembers me now."

The long-haired youth was precisely Yan Xinji, and this current body was that of Kong Feichen he seized.
