Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 134 Spiritual creature on the top of the mountain
"Shi Tou has gone to Anyang County now..."

"How about this, I'll have Wen'an accompany you to Black Stone Village."

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Yuan spoke.

The Shen family currently has five cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm, among whom Huang Qingzhou and Huang Qi are only at the first level of Qi Refining, making it somewhat difficult for them to deal with demonic beasts.

Accidents can easily happen.

Since the eldest son, Shen Wenxing, was not at home, the fourth son, Shen Wen'an, had to go instead.

It's a good opportunity for him to go out for a walk.

"Wen'an?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuan's expression turned somewhat strange.

Most people in Jinliu Village know that Shen Wen'an lives in the Blackwater Pool Manor, but over the years, almost no one has seen him come out.

Even some of the younger children thought that Shen Wenxing only had three siblings.

As someone familiar with the Shen family, Zhao Shuan knew about Shen Wen'an's eccentric temperament.

Hearing that Shen Yuan wanted him to take Shen Wen'an to slay the demon, he felt somewhat apprehensive.

"Okay... okay."

Seeing that Zhao Shuan agreed, Shen Yuan immediately got up and went to the Blackwater Pavilion to call out Shen Wen'an.

At the entrance of the manor, before the two left, Shen Yuan looked at Shen Wen'an and instructed him:

"After slaying that monster, keep an eye out for any unusual objects or mineral veins in the vicinity."

Shen Wen'an nodded, holding his sword.

Shen Yuan then looked at Zhao Shuan and said, "If a mineral vein or rare object is discovered, Brother Shuan, you must immediately have someone guard the perimeter to prevent the news from leaking out."

Zhao Shuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Let's go, Wen'an."

The two boarded the carriage and headed towards Blackstone Village.

After they arrived at Black Stone Village, Zhao Shuan asked a few villagers where the three missing people had gone.

They found two more middle-aged men to lead the way, and the four of them headed towards Hidden Dragon Mountain.

As night fell, the four finally arrived at their destination.

It was a hunting area with high mountains and dense forests, surrounded by several towering peaks of varying sizes and steep cliffs.

As darkness fell and a few dark clouds obscured the full moon, the two villagers from Black Stone Village were terrified, fearing that some monster might suddenly leap out and devour them alive.

"Don't be afraid, this is an immortal from the Shen family, very powerful."

Zhao Shuan pointed to Shen Wen'an, who was standing silently to the side, and spoke.

Upon hearing this, both of them looked at him with curiosity.

The title "Immortal of the Shen Family" gave them some peace of mind, but Shen Wen'an had a delicate and youthful appearance, looking like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, which was far less reassuring than Shen Wenxing's big build.

Therefore, they were still somewhat uneasy about this so-called "immortal".

The four continued onward, and gradually some messy footprints appeared on the snow ahead.

One of the villagers from Blackstone Village, who was rather thin and looked quite shrewd, seemed to have suddenly stepped on something and immediately stopped.

He groped around in the snow and pulled out a round thing. He curiously held it up to his face and was immediately terrified!
"head!"

"Heads!"

What he was holding in his hand was a human skull that was completely black, its surface looked as if it had been corroded by something, pitted and uneven, without a trace of flesh!
Seeing this, Shen Wen'an walked over from behind and waved his hand.

Using spiritual power, he blew away the snow in front of him, revealing a headless skeleton underneath.

The skull of the skeleton had already been thrown out by that villager from Blackstone Village.

"Here's a bow!"

Zhao Shuan noticed a large, polished rhinoceros horn bow lying next to the skeleton. Just as he was about to bend down to pick it up, a sword sheath stopped him.

"poisonous."

Shen Wen'an slowly uttered two words, his gaze fixed on the lean man who had picked up the human skull.

Zhao Shuan and another villager from Heishi Village also looked at him at this moment.

"Shi Ming, your face!"

Under the watchful eyes of the group, the gaunt man named Shi Ming from Black Stone Village slowly developed a series of ferocious black lines on his face!
As the black lines rose, his skin gradually turned dark purple!

Zhao Shuan and another villager from Black Stone Village were so frightened by the bizarre sight that they retreated repeatedly.

"Brother Fang, help... glug glug!"

Shi Ming wanted to ask for help, but before he could finish speaking, a large amount of black blood spilled from his mouth!

The black blood also contained some fragments of internal organs!

Clang!
A dazzling sword light flashed!

Shi Ming, whose face was contorted in pain, was beheaded and his body was about to fall over.

Before his body could even fall completely to the ground, his flesh and blood turned into a large amount of black blood that flowed down, leaving only his skeleton swaying precariously.

A strong, pungent stench filled the air, making one want to vomit.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao Shuan and the villager from Black Stone Village were so shocked that they took several steps back again.

Shen Wen'an glanced at the corpse, his brows furrowing slightly, before suddenly looking up at the steep cliff face in front of him!

Under the cover of night, on the dark cliff face, two eyes emitting a faint red glow were staring intently at him!
Upon seeing this, Shen Wen'an's spiritual energy surged.

The moment his figure rushed out, a clear sword cry rang out!
next moment!
A cyan sword aura, several dozen feet long, suddenly appeared in the night sky and slashed directly at the scarlet eyes! As if sensing the power of this sword, the owner of the scarlet eyes dared not be careless and quickly dodged!
"The Panshan Python!"

"It's a mountain python!"

Using the light emitted by Shen Wen'an's sword, the villager from Black Stone Village could vaguely see the monster's long body coiled around the steep rock wall, and immediately cried out in alarm.

What is a Panshan python?

Zhao Shuan quickly asked.

The villager, still shaken, stammered, "I...I heard from the older generation that a giant python lives in these mountains!"

"That giant python was so large that it could coil around a mountain peak, hence it was called the Coiling Mountain Python!"

"The elders also say that this python has lived for hundreds of years and is about to transform into a dragon!"

"Manager Zhao, let's run!"

"That little immortal definitely can't beat the Panshan Python!"

The villagers of Heishi Village, their voices trembling with tears, scrambled and crawled down the mountain to escape.

"You fucking come back here!"

Seeing this, Zhao Shuan grabbed his collar and dragged him back, saying viciously:
"Listen up, you better pray that Wen An can deal with that beast, or you'd better be prepared to die here!"

After hearing what this person said, Zhao Shuan was also unsure.

However, since Shen Yuan asked him to bring Shen Wen'an to slay the demon, if something were to happen to Shen Wen'an and he escaped back, he would have no way to explain it to the Shen family.

Moreover, he didn't believe that the python would let them go after killing Shen Wen'an.

On a steep mountain peak hundreds of feet high, Shen Wen'an stood with the Dragon-Slaying Sword under his feet, his right hand forming a sword-like gesture, and the golden Dragon Soul Sword slowly appeared at his fingertips.

Although the python in front of us was not as terrifying as the villagers of Black Stone Village had described, and was on the verge of transforming into a dragon.

However, it was a genuine Qi Refining Level 9 demon beast.

Shen Wen'an secretly rejoiced that it was him who came this time; if it had been his elder brother Shen Wenxing, something might have gone wrong.

The Dragon Soul Sword spun at his fingertips, with streaks of azure Tai Xuan sword energy swirling around the flying sword.

The python on the opposite cliff had already sensed the danger of death, but still did not choose to escape.

It seems there's something about this mountain that it's willing to risk its life to protect.

hiss!
As Shen Wen'an hovered a hundred feet in the air on his sword, the Panshan Python's vertical pupils, which were flashing with red light, suddenly shrank, and its huge head spewed out a large cloud of foul-smelling black smoke towards the area where he was!
Upon seeing this, Shen Wen'an instantly conjured a light shield composed of countless small swords on his body, blocking all the black smoke outside!
The black smoke touched the light shield and dripped down from mid-air with a "sizzling" sound. The ancient trees, shrubs and rocks below were all silently corroded into black residue when they came into contact with the black liquid!

Seeing that its poisonous smoke was no match for its opponent, the giant python suddenly lunged out with its barrel-like body, its terrifying mouth opening wide, trying to swallow Shen Wen'an whole!
But at that moment, Shen Wen'an pointed his sword!
A streak of cyan-gold light shot out instantly!
The cyan-gold light split into six in the blink of an eye!
The six beams of light instantly transformed into six longswords—one gold and five blue—all flying toward the enormous mouth of the Panshan Python!

puff!
puff!
……

The golden Dragon Soul Sword instantly pierced the head of the coiled mountain python, flew out from the top of its head, and returned to Shen Wen'an's side.

Meanwhile, the other five Tai Xuan sword energies, which transformed into longswords, rampaged through the body of the Panshan Python!
In an instant, sword beams radiating azure light shot out from the massive body of the mountain python, shattering the surrounding rocks!

In just a few breaths, the python turned into a hedgehog.

The cyan sword light slowly dissipated, and the life force within the hundred-zhang-long mountain python gradually disappeared. Its enormous body rolled down the cliff, smashing the branches of some ancient trees along the way.

Pfft!
Finally, its body crashed heavily onto the snow below and fell still.

"Dead...dead!?"

In the distance, a villager from Blackstone Village was so astonished by what he saw that he couldn't close his mouth.

I can't believe that this legendary python, which was about to transform into a dragon, was actually killed just like that!
A gentle breeze blew by, and Shen Wen'an's figure appeared gracefully in front of the two.

"This monster is a treasure from head to toe. Uncle Zhao, hurry back and find someone to transport the corpse back."

Suppressing his shock, Zhao Shuan nodded repeatedly and walked down the mountain under the moonlight.

"Aren't you coming down with me?"

When Shen Wen'an frowned and looked at the villagers of Black Stone Village, he noticed that their gazes were constantly being sneaky glances at the distant mountain wall.

Shen Wen'an looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The clouds in the sky had dissipated at some point, and a full moon appeared. A faint, milky-white moonlight shone on the hundred-foot cliff face, as if some treasure was absorbing the moonlight.

No wonder this python, knowing it was no match for him, still stubbornly stayed there and refused to leave.

As Shen Wen'an thought to himself, he slowly turned around and looked at the villager from Black Stone Village.

They realized he showed no sign of leaving.

Swish!
The Dragon-Slaying Sword flashed with a beam of light, slicing through his throat!
Watching his body slowly fall to the ground, Shen Wen'an used his longsword to pick up a drop of the python's venom and drip it onto the corpse.

In the blink of an eye, the corpse was corroded into a pool of black blood.

Having done all this, he lightly leaped and flew towards the hundred-zhang-high cliff on his sword.

Under the moonlight, the steep cliff face was barren, and piled with decaying skeletons, both human and animal.

In the hollow amidst the scattered bones, a three-foot-tall verdant pine tree emitted a hazy glow.

The tree trunk, only as thick as a baby's arm, was covered with dense, snake-like scales!

A wisp of jade-green gas weaved through the branches of the small pine tree, like a nimble little snake.

As if sensing an unfamiliar presence and startled, the jade-like gas vanished into the trunk of the small pine tree the moment Shen Wen'an approached.

Shen Wen'an frowned.

Although he didn't know what this little pine tree was, it must be a rare spiritual object to produce such a strange phenomenon and actively absorb the power of the moonlight.

We need to find a way to get it home!
