Regarding the green Jade Bottle handed over by the Priestess, regardless of its usefulness, Shi Feng still accepted it, thanked the Priestess, and then tossed the Jade Bottle into his Storage Ring. Using his Soul Power to communicate with Mo Yang within the Blood-colored Stele, he asked, "Old Mo, I’ve obtained the blood of the Snake-man Clan girl, but it was through a Secret Technique that she was raised to the Martial Sect Realm. Is such blood of any use?"
Suddenly, Mo Yang’s voice responded in Shi Feng’s mind, "Theoretically, it should be possible! However, since you had to use a Secret Technique to enhance her, I presu you couldn’t get the genuine Sect Level blood of the Snake-man Clan girl. You’ll just have to make do with what you got, and try when the ti cos."
"Hmm!" At present, that was all he could do, and having so was certainly better than none.
"Priestess, there might be an anomaly with the Purple Serpent Body!" At this mont, Zi Ya turned her face back to the aged Priestess of the Snake-man Clan and spoke feebly, her face expressing a deep sense of self-reproach and guilt as if she were in a space of soul consciousness.
"What!" The mont she heard Zi Ya’s words, the Priestess’s face changed dramatically.
"What!"
"An anomaly with the Purple Serpent Body...what does that an?!"
"Princess Zi Ya, what exactly happened to the Purple Serpent Body?!"
"Exactly, Princess!"
Suddenly, the mbers of the Snake-man Clan inside the Priest Hall all showed alarm. The Purple Serpent Body was their clan’s hope; to the Snake-man Clan, it was more important than their own lives. If the Purple Serpent Body ceased to exist, then the Eight Separation Snake God would no longer be able to descend into this world.
"I... I don’t know..." Zi Ya, hanging her head, still wore a face full of sha, feeling that at this mont, she could no longer face her clanspeople. She had failed to fulfill her mission and had let them down.
"Alright, your serpent has not perished; it has only encountered so anomalies!" At this ti, Shi Feng spoke up to the Snake-man Clan.
"Anomalies? What kind of anomalies, Lord Shi Feng? We implore you to explain, what exactly happened to the Purple Serpent Body?"
"Indeed, Lord Shi Feng, please tell us, the return of the Purple Serpent Body, the Eight Separation Divine Serpent to our world, is our Snake-man Clan’s hope for tens of thousands of years!"
"Yes, you must explain clearly!"
After hearing Shi Feng’s words, mbers of the Snake-man Clan turned to face him, appealing for answers. In their emotional agitation, many had lost the reverence they’d previously held for Shi Feng.
Shi Feng clenched his right hand into a fist, leaving only his smallest finger extended, and with a single thought, suddenly, a small purple serpent, the size of a loach, wriggled out from Shi Feng’s finger and began to coil around his fingertip.
"This...this is the Purple Serpent Body!"
"That’s right, there’s no mistake, this is the Purple Serpent Body, how has it beco so small, and why is the Purple Serpent Body of our Snake-man Clan on Lord Shi Feng’s body!"
"Do you mind its small size?" Upon hearing the words of the Snake-man Clan, Shi Feng’s mouth curved into a faint smile, and then the little purple snake shot up into the sky.
Suddenly, under the shocked gazes of everyone present, the body of the purple snake rapidly enlarged. In monts, the cute little snake had transford into a massive Purple Serpent as large as a hill, almost filling the entire space above the Priest Hall. It exuded a fearso pressure, with a fierce and ferocious face looming over them, and two purple eyes as large as lanterns stared unwaveringly at the crowd below.
Subsequently, the crowd saw again, the vicious large face of the Purple Serpent, with its gaping maw revealing two rows of ferocious, sharply pointed fangs, like swords, "Roar!"
An angry roar resounded, causing the entire Priest Hall to shake violently once more.
"Ah!" Faced with the angry roar of Zi Li’s Serpent Body above and the overwhelming pressure it exerted, each mber of the Snake-man Race began to tremble uncontrollably. In the presence of that great snake, they felt as weak and insignificant as ants.
"The incarnation of our god, Zi Li’s Serpent Body!"
"Worship our god!"
"Worship our god!"
"Worship our god!"
Following this, each Snake-man, including the elderly Priestess and Princess Zi Ya, coiled their tails and bowed devoutly to Zi Li’s Serpent Body above. Princess Zi Ya turned her head slightly, her face showing a complex expression as she looked at Shi Feng, the only one standing in the center of the hall.
Shi Feng willed it, and Zi Li’s Serpent Body rapidly shrank, becoming as small as a purple mud loach and transforming into a beam of purple light, shooting towards him before coiling around the tip of his little finger.
Under the urging of the Source of All Things, Zi Li’s Serpent Body was bound to him with a Master-Servant Contract, and at this point, the ferocious snake was completely at his command.
The giant purple snake vanished from the space above the Priest Hall. At this mont, each mber of the Snake-man Race looked at Shi Feng with mixed feelings, gazing at the small purple snake perched playfully on the tip of his finger.
Surveying the gaze of each Snake-man, Shi Feng spoke indifferently, "Actually, I didn’t intend to take it. But this little creature, upon seeing , insisted on acknowledging as its master. Even when I tried to send it away, it wouldn’t leave. I reluctantly accepted it."
"This... this..."
Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, the Snake-n were at a loss for words, yet from their expressions, one could tell they were all discontented. Their great and exalted serpent incarnation had accepted this Human as its master. Despite the Human’s great strength, this was sothing they truly struggled to accept.
"I understand now, I know now, it’s the god! In the ancient prophecy, the god would send a ssenger to descend upon our Snake-man Race, to guide us, to gather seven incarnations, and to bring the return of the Eight Separation Divine Serpent. Lord Shi Feng must surely be the ssenger sent by the god, guided invisibly by the Divine, to direct us and bring the god back to our world!"
Watching the Snake-n’s faces filled with complex emotions, the old Priestess knew what they were thinking. But, given the situation, she feared that her people might act rashly and provoke this notorious Mad Demon to disaster, so she fabricated this lie to calm the crowd’s feelings.
"Priest Lord, is it true? Is there really such a prophecy? How co I’ve never heard of it before?"
"Yes, Priest Lord, I have not heard of it either!"
So questioned the old Priestess upon hearing her words, their doubts apparent. However, most showed on their faces that they believed her; after all, the old Priestess was the longest-lived among the Snake-man Clan in their territory, and her knowledge was certainly more extensive than theirs.
"I also heard of it when I was young. Since the ssenger never appeared, the prophecy gradually fell out of ntion, and over ti, it was forgotten by our people," explained the old Priestess.
Then, with a solemn pause, the old Priestess addressed the crowd, "Quickly pay your respects to Lord ssenger! Welco the descent of Lord ssenger!"
