Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 424

[424. Chapter 424 Three Treasures (Additional updates, please give me a monthly ticket)]

The inheritance of great power comes at a price.

Fang Xing was even prepared to be forced to become an enemy of a powerful person in the celestial realm.

After all, the only ones who can cause a powerful celestial demon to fall are celestial immortals and celestial demons of the same level!
But after getting to know the character of Lady Qinghua carefully, he felt that she might not be like that.

However, the snake girl spirit, who was created by Goddess Qinghua, still seemed to have hatred in her heart.

“It’s a pity that the queen set such a rule back then. Otherwise, the prince of the snake clan would not have been able to leave alive…”

The snake girl gritted her teeth and said, “But the snake clan still wants to inherit the Queen’s legacy, they are just dreaming!”

Fang Xing was suddenly speechless.

After thinking for a while, he said, “You seem… particularly anxious for me to obtain the inheritance?”

“Yes.”

The snake girl admitted directly: “Your aptitude in the Way of Time, no matter which great being sees it, will definitely accept you as a disciple! This is not only because you will be able to achieve great success in the future… but also because you may be able to merge with the ‘Great Way of Time’ in the future, and have the possibility of resurrecting the dead monsters from the long river of time… Even if this may be very small, it is enough for those fallen beings to take a gamble.”

“I see. You want me to become your master’s true disciple so that I can revive him in the future?”

Fang Xinglong showed a smile on his face: “Every sip and every bite is a cause and effect…”

However, this is not a mandatory oath, it should just be the expectation of the snake girl.

“I can promise you that if I can do it in the future, I will do it.”

In other words, if Fang Xing still cannot find the Qingyuan Realm after he achieves the Dao in the future, it cannot be blamed on him.

“Thanks……”

The snake woman’s eyes seemed to turn slightly red, but then quickly disappeared.

She took Fang Xing up the steps one by one and came to the base of the statue.

“This is the goddess’s statue. If you bow nine times, you will become her true disciple.”

The snake girl stood aside and said solemnly, “Nominal disciples bow three times, formal disciples bow six times, and true disciples bow nine times. This is the rule established by the Queen.”

Fang Xing immediately became serious, straightened his scales, stepped forward, bowed his head, and kowtowed nine times.

Boom!

After the ninth bow, Fang Xing felt that the stone statue in front of him seemed to come alive in an instant, allowing him to see the true form of a celestial demon standing tall and proud.

The other person had a human body and a snake tail, his scales were emerald green, and he was overflowing with the breath of life, and his eyes were filled with kindness.

That is the “great love” for all living things in the world!
In an instant, three volumes of blue ancient books quietly emerged in his mind, which were the “Three Volumes of Blue and White”!
Not only that, he spoke automatically, and with his soul shaking, he made a causal oath: “As a witness to the great way of cause and effect, I swear that I will never reveal even a single bit of the inheritance…”

When he came to his senses, Fang Xing discovered that the Blue and White Goddess in front of him was still a stone statue.

But… three rays of light fell down and hovered in front of him.

“You have sworn a great oath of karma to the Queen, and you cannot break it. Otherwise, even if you are promoted to a celestial demon, you will definitely pay a heavy price… The Queen’s statue uses the rare item ‘Cause and Effect Stone’, and the oath has a great binding force on celestial demons.”

The snake girl reminded: “As a true disciple, the three treasures given to you by the Queen should be the most suitable for you.”

“Master… is indeed a good person.”

Fang Xing nodded.

Since he can be forced to take a karma oath, he can also be allowed to avenge his master or even be resurrected in the future…

But there is none of these, it is just a secret to keep the inheritance.

“The biggest regret of the queen before her death was that she didn’t have a true successor…”

“You should have been taught the Three Volumes of Blue and White Porcelain by now. The Blue and White Porcelain Volume is all-encompassing and is enough for you to cultivate all the way to the Heavenly Demon Realm… One of the chapters, the secret technique of ‘breaking cause and effect’, can conceal one’s own secrets and avoid being traced by cause and effect spells… You’d better learn it when you go out, otherwise it will be easy for you to be hunted down by the snake demon prince.”

The snake girl gave a warning.

“I originally wanted to join the Qingdi Palace…”

“But even if I didn’t kill Brother Fu Shan, I’m afraid it wouldn’t work as a disciple of Lady Qinghua… After all, my master defected back then…”

Fang Xing shifted his attention to the three balls of light in front of him.

When his mind touched it, the first ball of light exploded directly, revealing a bright yellow talisman.

The yellow paper looked a little torn, and the cinnabar on it dimmed and turned into a yellow light, rushing into Fang Xing’s brow.

Outside of Fang Xing’s soul, a talisman was shining, and it felt like he was wearing a layer of clothes, giving him a sense of security.

“This is the ‘Heaven-stealing Life-replacing Talisman’, a passive talisman that activates instantly when you are about to die, be killed by the soul, or be enslaved… It will leave a puppet substitute at the place where you are, taking on the curse and the power of causal killing… and then take you away.”

The snake girl said solemnly, “With this talisman to save your life, even a powerful person in the Heavenly Demon Realm could get away if they are not careful. It is even more impossible for anyone in the Yuanshen Realm to kill you… This is the life-saving trump card given to you by the Empress. Of course, you only have one chance.”

“To have a chance to start over is what many monsters wish for.” Fang Xing said sincerely.

He opened the second ball of light and found it was a small mirror with a strange shape.

“This is the ‘Yan Dao Mirror’, which can deduce a spell to a certain limit… The master has even injected a ‘power of creation’ into it, which is enough to allow you to practice this spell to a very high level in an instant. It is used to protect the Dao.”

Snake introduced.

“This is somewhat similar to my Vairocana Mantra… The so-called ‘power of creation’, could it be a large amount of highly concentrated power of Yuanshi?”

“What a pity! It would be better to give me tens of billions of Yuanshi so that I don’t have to worry about the problem of accumulating mana after I reach the Yuanshen realm…”

Fang Xing nodded and turned on the third ball of light.

Boom!

An extremely terrifying aura emerged, which actually made Fang Xing have the urge to kneel down in submission. This was an instinct that came from his blood, just like an ordinary person would tremble unconsciously when seeing a lion or tiger up close.

“It’s just the instinct of my bloodline…”

Fang Xing’s will exploded, he stood still, his pupils turned to look at the object in the third ball of light, it was…

“A drop of sealed blood?”

There was a hint of solemnity in his voice as he saw a piece of blood sealed in a sky-blue crystal.

“The Queen is so kind to you… Among the three treasures she gave you, even if the first two are added together, their value is far less than this one. Maybe it’s because you follow the path of time?”

The snake girl also felt a little bit unbelievable when she saw this drop of blood essence: “One of the most precious things in the Queen’s treasure house is this – the blood essence of the candle dragon!”

“Candle Dragon Blood?”

Fang Xing’s expression moved. He indeed sensed the rich power of the law of time from this drop of essence and blood.

According to legend, Zhulong ‘sees it as day, sleeps as night, blows as winter, and hisses as summer’, and is a natural time demon!

“This drop of ‘Zhulong Essence Blood’ comes from an ‘Emperor’! He has long since fallen in the long river of time. Your Majesty took a great risk and explored a forbidden area to find this drop of Emperor’s blood…”

The snake girl looked at Fang Xing and said, “Don’t you call yourself a dragon seed? As long as you refine this drop of Candle Dragon’s blood essence, you will no longer be a mortal-blooded monster, but a royal-blooded monster. It will be easy for you to become a prince of the monster clan in the future…”

“How did refining the Emperor’s blood turn it into the Emperor’s blood?”

Fang Xing felt a little strange.

“Do you think that demons with emperor blood are common? The demon emperor’s body is huge. If he can freely release his blood, then wouldn’t all the demons in my demon clan be the emperor’s sons?”

The snake girl sneered, “Emperor-grade blood is extremely rare. Only the legitimate son of the Demon Emperor can have it… One drop of Emperor’s blood can at most create one Emperor-blooded demon. If you want to have Emperor’s blood, I’m afraid you need to replace all your blood essence with Emperor’s blood to have a slight chance…”

“Royal blood is enough.”

If Fang Xing had thought before that ‘mortal blood can defeat emperor blood’.

At this time, the thought became, “The demon race respects bloodline, which makes sense. The first-mover advantage is also an advantage. The Royal Blood Demon Race is already pretty good.”

The demon race with royal blood is born with a superior foundation of magic power. With a little effort, they can become geniuses at the level of a demon prince!
This is the innate advantage of blood.

“The blood of the Candle Dragon… once refined, it will definitely be of great benefit to comprehending the principles of time.”

Fang Xing also thought of this.

“Of course, but refining high-level blood is extremely dangerous… If it was a royal blood demon clan that refined the emperor’s blood, it would be fine, but you only have ordinary blood, not even royal blood…”

The snake girl said, “I suggest you try it after you break through the Yuan Shen realm. Although you will lose a lot of benefits… it is safer.”

In fact, she couldn’t imagine that the aura of this black dragon could actually attract the essence and blood of the Candle Dragon in the treasure house!

Isn’t this gap too big?
“It’s okay… To refine the bloodline, one needs to have a strong will, enough to defeat the remaining spiritual imprint, right?”

Fang Xing spoke.

“Indeed… Although the owner of this Candle Dragon blood essence has been dead for who knows how many years, and the Queen has done some processing, it is still too terrifying for a little demon like you with mortal blood.”

The snake girl shook her head: “Even if you must refine it, you must be fully prepared. First, go to the ‘Dragon Washing Pool’, then prepare the ‘Dragon Transformation Pill’ and the ‘Dragon Transformation Secret Technique’… It would be best if there is a celestial demon watching over you. Hey, what are you doing?”

A look of horror emerged on her face as she saw Fang Xing swallow the crystal that sealed the ‘Candle Dragon’s Essence Blood’ in one gulp.

As a world spirit, she only had the power to make suggestions and could not stop Fang Xing from doing anything to her treasure.

Snap!

Fang Xing moved his teeth casually and tore the outermost seal into pieces, allowing the Zhulong’s essence and blood to flow down his throat into his stomach, as if he had swallowed a fireball.

A terrifying heat flow instantly swept through the whole body!
Compared to the pain on the body, the test on the mind was even more terrifying!
Roar!

There seemed to be an old and distant dragon roar in Fang Xing’s ears.

He saw a huge dragon shadow hovering in the universe.

It has a human face and a snake body, red scales and a vertical eye. The terrifying power of time is like a river, allowing it to flow freely.

——Zhulong!
Demon Emperor Zhulong!

A Chaos Realm being, in the Great Xia World, is a Dao Lord Realm power!
Even if there is only a trace of will left in the blood essence that has been processed by a demon king for who knows how many years, it is enough to defeat any demon in the mortal realm, even most of the demon kings in the Yuanshen realm!

But at this time, although Fang Xing was as small as dust compared to Zhulong, he was able to maintain his free will.

His will was like the sun, constant and immovable, illuminating the universe!
“Good fellow… If it was the real Candle Dragon, I would have been dead if a trace of his will fell.”

“But the remaining will that had died many years ago, and was dealt with by Master Qinghua… in terms of impact, it is about the same as an extraterritorial evil god.”

“It would be a joke if my will collapsed under such an impact.”

Day and night alternate, spring and autumn pass.

The outside world has no idea of time, but in Fang Xing’s consciousness, it seems like a thousand years have passed in a glance.

Even ten thousand years later, the blazing sun transformed from his will was still hanging high in the sky, and even turned into a long sword.

Will is like a knife, slashing the candle dragon with one blow!
Roar!

The figure of Zhulong let out a mournful cry, and then transformed into streaks of light that sank into the sun.

In a trance, Fang Xing even thought that he had turned into a candle dragon, going through the Spring and Autumn Period, traveling through the universe with his dragon body, playing with planets and even moving the stars with his dragon claws…

…

In front of the blue and white goddess statue.

The turbulent flow of time dissipated, and a black dragon over fifty meters long emerged.

Its body became extremely slender, its scales changed from black to black and red, the wings behind it seemed to carry a hint of divinity, and the horns on its head were forked, becoming more like deer antlers.

Overall, in addition to the doubling of its size, it has also changed from the size of the Western Black Dragon to something more similar to the Eastern Yinglong.

Of course, the change in body shape is nothing.

Gray light flashed in Fang Xing’s vertical pupils, making him seem to be able to directly see the fluctuations of time.

“The laws of time… so clear… and my magic power.”

As the black dragon breathed in and out, he could feel that his own top-grade mana was still increasing!
The Royal Blood Demon Clan originally had top-grade mana. If they practiced inheritance, even if it was only a top-grade inheritance, the superposition of the two top-grade mana would far exceed the general top-grade mana.

They even have more opportunities to break through to immortal-level magic power than other monster tribes!

“My black water magic power, even if it is not a fairy product, seems to be not much different now…”

“Tsk tsk… and my physique. Nowadays, cultivators at the third level of the Yuan Shen realm, those with top-grade mana, and those with a fourth-level understanding of the Dao may not be able to break my defense…”

“The Royal Blood Demon Clan really has a lot of benefits. The foundation is too strong. With a little practice, you can become a genius of the demon clan prince level!”

Fang Xing sensed it and couldn’t help but feel very satisfied.

The snake girl next to him was a little dumbfounded: “You, you, you… your willpower can actually directly defeat the remaining spiritual imprint of Zhulong… Even if the queen has dealt with it in advance, it is still amazing… Who are you? Are you the reincarnation of an ancient demon?”

“If it is the reincarnation of an ancient demon, will it become a mortal-blood stone dragon?” Fang Xing glanced at the snake girl and said speechlessly.

“That’s right… that’s because you are gifted. Although your will is illusory, the later you get, the greater the impact will be…”

The snake girl’s eyes sparkled: “I am increasingly convinced that you have a chance of reviving the Queen.”
