Chapter 875: Chapter 875: Snake Spirit Desert

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Chengyu flew at a very high altitude on his cloud. There were many foreign tribes and beasts in the Western Desert, and flying too low—passing through the territories of these tribes—would lead to attacks.

The Snake Spirit Desert was far from Gumu City, and even with Su Chengyu’s flying speed, it would take several hours to arrive.

"Su Chengyu, actually, I am quite curious, aren’t you a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain? How come you know Quanzhen Sect’s Daoism?" Lin An asked.

"Before joining the Qingcheng Sect, someone else taught me how to cultivate the Daoism methods, only I didn’t know it was Quanzhen Daoism," Su Chengyu replied.

"Oh? The True Way of Controlling Thunder is one of the top secret teachings of the Quanzhen Sect, and not every disciple has the chance to learn it. The person who taught you the methods must be at the level of an elder of the Quanzhen Sect. Didn’t he take you as his disciple? The influence of the Quanzhen Sect nowadays is even stronger than that of the Qingcheng Sect. I think you should have joined the Quanzhen Sect," Lin An suggested.

Su Chengyu did not continue the topic and switched the subject, "Let’s discuss the Snake Tribe instead, tell me everything you know."

"What I know, I’ve pretty much already told you. The most powerful among the Snake Tribe is Snake Queen Kapeya, plus there are ten elders at the Demon King Realm. I forgot to mention last time that there’s another imposing figure among the Snake Tribe, the High Priest, who ranks only below the queen and has a higher status than the elders. The Snake Tribe at the Demon King Realm has a chance to awaken their innate divine abilities."

"What innate divine abilities? Are they powerful?" Su Chengyu inquired.

"The innate divine ability of the Snake Tribe is called Petrifying Stare. Their eyes emit a strange light that, if it hits its target, the victim is instantly petrified and loses their life. So, what do you think? Is it powerful or not?" Lin An explained.

"That does sound quite powerful indeed," Su Chengyu remarked.

Su Chengyu felt a chill down his spine; just one glance could petrify someone, this innate divine ability was truly eerie.

"By the way, the Snake Tribe possesses a priceless treasure; had the trip to Air Mulberry Valley gone well, my next plan would have been to try to seize that treasure from the Snake Tribe," Lin An suddenly said.

"What treasure?" Su Chengyu casually asked.

He wasn’t very interested in the Snake Tribe’s treasure; the Snake Tribe was too strong, and even if they had a treasure, it wasn’t something he could take. Thinking too much about it was pointless.

"The True Dragon Divine Bone. You’re interested now, right?" Lin An said with a smile.

The previously indifferent Su Chengyu’s eyes lit up at the mention of the True Dragon Divine Bone, "Are you sure that the Snake Tribe has a piece of the True Dragon Divine Bone?"

"Very sure! It is a complete piece of the True Dragon Divine Bone, containing the full legacy of the True Dragon Technique. The True Dragon Technique you used before is incomplete, isn’t it?" Lin An said.

"It’s incomplete; I acquired it from a Sun Dragon Flame Crystal," admitted Su Chengyu honestly.

"Just like me, the True Dragon Technique I practice was also obtained from a Sun Dragon Flame Crystal. If you want to learn the complete True Dragon Technique, you have to snatch the True Dragon Divine Bone from the Snake Tribe," Lin An stated.

"With my strength, how could I possibly snatch the True Dragon Divine Bone."

Su Chengyu shook his head; he had a clear understanding of his own capabilities and then asked, "By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask you, why do these divine bones still exist in the Kunwu Realm after such a long time? Shouldn’t they have been taken by the trialists who came before us?"

"There are certain things in the Kunwu Realm that cannot be taken away, and these divine bones are among them. After obtaining the divine bones, one can cultivate the treasure techniques inscribed on them. Once the trial ends, the divine bones automatically return. The Sky Feather Clan guards the Phoenix Divine Bone, the Snake Tribe guards the True Dragon Divine Bone, and there are others like the Kylin and the Vermilion Bird Divine Bones, all guarded by different tribes. If you’re lucky and strong enough, you can take them, but you cannot bring them out of the Kunwu Realm," Lin An explained.

Su Chengyu understood and felt at ease, realizing the foresight of the Kunwu Immortal. The True Dragon Divine Bone and the Phoenix Divine Bone were extremely precious treasures. If taken by one person, future trialists would not have the chance to obtain them.

By doing so, the Kunwu Immortal wanted to give more people opportunities, yet these divine bones were guarded by very powerful different races. To acquire them, one needed tremendous courage, astonishing luck, and formidable strength, which also served as a type of assessment.

Only those who were capable of wresting the divine bones from the hands of different races deserved to cultivate the earth-shattering techniques contained within the bones!

"Let’s not dwell on that for now. The most pressing matter is to get the Snake Spirit Herb, and then to find the Dragon Vitality Ginseng," Su Chengyu said.

Unlike the Phantom Blossom and Snake Spirit Herb, which could be found in specific locations, Lin An had no idea where in the Kunwu Realm the Dragon Vitality Ginseng could be located.

Lin An nodded and said, "Once I’ve restored my strength and obtained the Phoenix Divine Bone and True Dragon Divine Bone, I can lend them to you for cultivation. Whether you can comprehend the true techniques, however, will depend on your innate talent."

"It’s still too early to talk about this; if we can’t find the Dragon Vitality Ginseng, your journey for the trials would have been in vain," Su Chengyu retorted with a dismissive look.

"I can’t be that unlucky, right? My luck has always been pretty good," Lin An said with confidence.

Su Chengyu neither agreed nor disagreed and continued flying forward.

"It seems like we’re approaching the Snake Spirit Desert up ahead," Lin An remarked.

Su Chengyu descended from the sky, looking from afar. Beyond a sand dune ahead, he could see a stone statue standing in the desert. The statue, several dozen meters tall, had a human body with a snake’s tail, hair made of little snakes, and a snake staff held in its hand that resembled a sacrificial sceptre. The statue was lifelike and exuded a strange aura.

"That is a statue of Sishina, the leader of the Snake Tribe—the desert beyond the statue is the Snake Spirit Desert," Lin An explained.

The Snake Spirit Desert was vast, with an oasis inside where the Snake Tribe lived. Upon entering the Snake Spirit Desert, one would be detected by the snakes raised by the Snake people. These Probing Spirit Snakes were hidden in the sand in large numbers, constituting the first line of defense of the Snake Spirit Desert.

Once an intrusion was detected, the Probing Spirit Snakes would immediately sound the alarm, and the information would quickly reach the Snake Tribe.

"Do you have any ideas?" Su Chengyu asked Lin An.

Lin An shook his head, "There aren’t really any good options. If it were me, I’d just barge in straight away. But that won’t work for you. The only way is to make your intentions clear, negotiate with the Snake Tribe, and trade something for the Snake Spirit Herb. After all, the Snake Spirit Herb isn’t something particularly precious to the Snake Tribe."

"I suppose that is one approach we could try. Still, I suspect it might not work. The different races within the Kunwu Realm have deep-seated conflicts with our Human Clan, and they probably won’t be willing to trade with us," Su Chengyu said.

"Then do you have any better ideas?" Lin An asked.

"Yes, but we’ll need to wait a bit longer; the timing isn’t right at the moment," Su Chengyu said.

"Wait for what?" Lin An asked, puzzled.

"Wait for someone."

"Wait for whom? Do you have other allies?" Lin An asked.

If other disciples from the Qingcheng Sect managed to arrive, then there might be a chance.
