Chapter 544: Chapter 414: Dragon and Snake Entwined, Known as Xuanwu (First Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The golden little ship was enveloped in elixir fire and entered Chen Yuan’s mouth, passing through the Twelve Story Building, smoothly traveling through Yu Fu, Divine Treasure, Spirit Seal, Yin Du, and Shangqu, a total of nineteen acupoints, before entering the Taixi Acupoint where kidney essence converges, with the furnace blazing all the way.

The golden treasure ship sailed straight into Taixi, the intersection of kidney water, the location of the Water Divine Storage. It was pitch black inside, with a deep pool in the middle containing pure kidney water. Above rolled pitch-black thunderclouds, nurturing Yin Water True Thunder.

The deep pool, originally tranquil and serene, saw the golden treasure ship transform into a streak of golden light like a comet falling, piercing through the thunderclouds, and plunging into the kidney water. In an instant, great waves surged, causing a tempest, with the Yin Water True Thunder roaring in fury, lightning flashing, and the Thunder Tree blooming.

In that instant, the golden treasure ship was like a small boat in a raging storm!

Simultaneously, inside the golden treasure ship, the previously sealed cabin emitted a "humming" sound, and then the bright windows of the cabin began to flicker violently. Inside, mournful roars echoed, with various shouts of resentment and enmity and whispers resounding amidst the storm, while wisps of black air flew out from the cabin’s crevices, swirling chaotically in the Divine Treasure space like the ghostly howls of a thousand spirits.

At that moment, the flashing Yin Water True Thunder overhead grew furious, with brilliant blue Thunder Trees blooming amidst it, striking the malevolent thoughts scattering through the void, causing loud shrieks as the entire deep pool became increasingly turbulent, threatening to rend it apart.

The Dragon and Tiger Treasure Ship entering the Water Divine Storage triggered an intense repulsion reaction. The malevolent thoughts dispersing inside, combined with the Creation Power unleashed, caused a commotion like flipping rivers and seas; even a slight mishap could lead to irreparable consequences!

The true critical moment had arrived!

Suddenly, a cold snort echoed through the space like a commanding thunderous voice.

"You have entered my territory, you shall not have your way, be suppressed by me!"

With these words, amidst lightning and thunder, raging waves and gales, a band of golden light first rose from beneath the deep pool, like a Great Sun rising on the sea, illuminating it with dazzling radiance. The intense golden light carried the power of extreme Yang, leaving no place for evil spirits to hide, as the black air, transformed from malevolent thoughts, dissipated under the scorching sun.

Following that, with a rumbling sound, above the turbulent deep pool, within the thunderclouds, four meridians lit up one by one in red, yellow, green, and gold. Within them thunder roared, soon pouring down Thunder Liquid, transforming into various True Thunders, scattering and breaking apart the dispersing malevolent thoughts, turning this Divine Treasure into a splendid sea of five-colored lightning.

During this process, bolts of thunder struck the large ship causing surging tides, with the Heavenly Gang True Thunder nurtured by the five viscera pouring out, its power incomparably mightier than those casted, severing the layers of water waves covering the ship and booming into it. Slowly, the ship’s body, previously unremarkable under the elixir fire, finally let out a muffled roar like a dragon’s song or a cow’s bellow.

Soon, the azure-black hull released a gleaming azure-black light, undergoing a brilliant transformation. The prow morphed into a dragon-like azure turtle head clad in scales, while the stern transformed into the fearsome head of a black snake.

When the ship’s body was fully manifested, the entire treasure ship transformed into a gigantic beast integrating turtle and snake, with a black serpent coiling around the green-gold Xuan Turtle, which boldly bore a "mountain and river" on its shell!

The Xuan Turtle and the Black Snake emitted dragon roars and cow bellows, with the black serpent blowing a Great Phoenix from its mouth, summoning wind and rain within the Divine Treasure, while the Xuan Turtle’s four giant feet stomped, stirring up great waves that scattered the attacking lightning into dispersing Thunder Liquid, the scene radiant in splendor.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Yuan’s voice, carrying both heat and surprise, echoed within this Divine Treasure,

"With turtle and snake entwined, supreme goodness resembles water, neither lead nor tin, unrelated to other stones, the water is River Car Divine Water, existing before Heaven and Earth, an indispensable ultimate alchemy ingredient. It nurtures all things, hence it’s named Xuanwu."

"Excellent!"

"I should never have left that guy until now!"

Seeing the ship’s body transform, revealing Xuanwu Energy, it must be some extraordinary Spirit Root, no wonder it landed with water, the result of opening this blind box greatly invigorated Chen Yuan, causing even him to display a rare sense of elation.

This artifact perfectly aligned with his Water Divine Storage, establishing the Gods within it. As long as it’s refined, he could barely gather all Four Symbols. He didn’t know what changes this could bring, but the amplification in combat capabilities would likely reach an astonishing degree.

"Refine for me!"

Chen Yuan, inwardly viewing this entity, was brimming with heat.

"Yin!"

Suddenly, a dragon’s song and a phoenix’s cry, clear and resonant, emitted from the two Divine Treasures within him.

From the Wood God’s Treasure, the Dragon Qi Mother Tree, surrounded by Divine Light, immediately flew out, heading towards Taixi, transforming into a streak of green light, diving into the kidney water. Following this, dragon roars intensified, as the Dragon Qi Mother Tree transformed directly into a mighty and majestic Azure Dragon!

From the Fire God Storage, the coffin with Parasol Divine Leaves also flew out boldly, transforming into a Fire Phoenix, a Divine Bird.

The two True Spirits, transformed from Spirit Roots of luck, pierced through the violent storm curtain, flying above the turtle and snake, unleashing awe-inspiring roars, boldly intervening.

The Azure Dragon, with its green eyes and golden gaze, full of divine indifference, extended its sharp dragon claws like Vajra iron claws towards the Xuan Turtle, while its dragon tail whipped, casting out dazzling Essence Qi, stabilizing and shattering the rolling waves; Meanwhile, the Fire Wind let out a sharp cry, bathing in flames, soaring amidst the storm, spewing out Divine Fire in torrents towards the black snake.

Within this Divine Treasure, the three True Spirits clashed, displaying incredible momentum. But Azure Dragon and Fire Phoenix followed Chen Yuan’s will, exceedingly agile, further supported by the vast Essence Qi from the Spirit Roots of luck. The Xuanwu, was only a primal resistance, but to subdue and imprint Chen Yuan’s mark upon it was the process of refinement!

It seemed two against one, with victory assured, requiring only time to temper it slowly.

However, Chen Yuan stayed tense throughout, not daring to relax for a moment.

Because the ship’s hull, having been refined by Dragon and Tiger, possessed the Power of Creation, indestructible, with the "Heaven and Earth" burdened on Xuanwu’s back continuously emitting malevolent thoughts, should it escape inadvertently, it could contaminate his physical body or infiltrate the Mud Ball, which would make things thorny.

Therefore, he multitasked, remaining vigilant, directing the two Spirit Roots of luck to refine Xuanwu on one side, while controlling the Five Thunders, Golden Core True Fire, and furnace fires around the Water Divine Storage, and even laying the Heaven and Earth Net with Taoist Soldiers and the Thirty-Six Mountain Demon Suppression Tower to scatter and break apart the dispersing malevolent thoughts on the other side.

It was as if he was employing all his faculties to refine this ship!

Within Taixi Acupoint, thunder howled, the Great Sun illuminated the void, dispersing and burning the black air into nothingness.

Amidst the kidney water, the Azure Dragon exhaled True Thunder, slashing waves and piercing through them, while the Fire Phoenix bathed in flames, scorching the sky and vaporizing the icy rain into fog, flapping its wings, and its sharp claws fiercely struck towards the fangs and fierce face of the black snake summoning wind and rain;
