The snake spirit and her sister were the daughters of a prominent figure in the ancient clan. They originally lived a very good life, spending their days wandering in the mountains and forests, and their lives were quite fulfilling.
However, just as the snake spirit had transformed into a half-human form and went out for a stroll with her sister, blood rain fell from the sky, the world wailed, and all sentient beings felt a soul-deep fear. This blood rain lasted for three days and three nights. When the snake spirit and her sister returned to their clan, everything was gone.
Their homeland was flattened by a giant hand, and their powerful people were crushed into mincemeat, their spiritual essence extracted from their flesh and blood.
From that day on, a new rumor spread throughout the world: as long as the spiritual essence of the flesh and blood of the Nuwa clan is extracted, it can be made into a kind of immortal substance that can grant immortality if consumed.
The rumor, which appeared from an unknown source, reached the ears of all kinds of demons within a single day. From that day on, the surviving members of Nuwa's clan became the flesh of Tang Sanzang. Whether they were demons walking on the ground or high-ranking immortals in the heavens, they all wanted to capture Nuwa's clan members to refine the substance of immortality.
Most of the gods and demons in this world have limited lifespans. It seems that the scorpion demon and the snake demon can easily live for tens of thousands of years, but the snake demon is a descendant of Nuwa, whose lifespan is inherently long. In addition, their cultivation level is high, and the scorpion demon has a special physique. After obtaining the snake demon's primordial yin, it is not difficult for them to live for tens of thousands of years.
Those high-ranking gods in the heavens may seem to be immortal, but in reality, most of them have limited lifespans, controlled by a select few.
They cultivated things that granted longevity, such as the Queen Mother's peaches of immortality. In this way, the Heavenly Court gathered a large number of immortals and held them firmly in its grasp, without any fear of their betrayal. Due to their long lifespans, the immortals in heaven naturally possessed immense magical power, overwhelming those on earth with no chance of resistance.
So at this time, a substance that could grant immortality appeared, driving many beings mad. Among them were powerful gods who refused to obey and listen to the audience, as well as terrifying demons on earth who craved longevity. They hunted down the remnants of Nuwa's clan who had survived the calamity, extracting the energy of immortality from their bodies.
When the snake spirit and her sister, concealing their identities, went through countless hardships to reach the outside of Nuwa's palace, hoping to seek help from the great goddess, they received shocking news.
Nuwa has disappeared!
After three days and three nights of blood rain began falling, Nuwa disappeared, seemingly vanishing from the world. At the same time, the primal energy within Nuwa's clan was greatly enhanced, leading some to speculate that Nuwa had perished. The blood rain that caused the heavens and earth to weep was proof of this. Coupled with the enhanced primal energy within Nuwa's clan, this further confirmed some people's speculations, so they carried out a large-scale massacre without any regard for consequences.
As it turned out, they were right. No matter how many times they hunted down the Nuwa clan scattered around the world, the benevolent goddess still did not come out to stop them.
When the snake spirit and her sister were desperate, they encountered a man dressed as a scholar in a valley. Although they did not know his identity, this being bestowed many treasures upon them and taught them how to conceal their identities.
After that, the snake spirit encountered the scorpion spirit, and some conflicts arose between her and her sister, which led to the current situation.
Xu Le stood up and walked outside the cave, watching the slowly rising sun and feeling its endless, scorching power.
He opened his arms to embrace the heavens and earth, and began to integrate the information he had obtained. Now the identity of the Calabash Brothers was about to be revealed. They were divine objects condensed by extracting the essence from the snake spirit and then pouring it into the gourd to create the longevity substance. This could also explain why the Seven Hearts Pill could grant immortality.
As for why the snake spirit didn't know that the so-called Seven Hearts Pill was the longevity substance extracted from her own body, it was probably because the previous rumors had led her astray. After all, all the captured clansmen were killed to extract the longevity substance, which made her think that the extraction of the longevity substance could only be done after killing them. She never imagined that the source of the Seven Hearts Pill was herself.
The great god suppressed them for ten thousand years in order to extract the essence from the snake spirit. The part that Xu Le extracted was only able to be completely refined because the snake spirit had been suppressed for ten thousand years. However, it escaped after 9999 years, leaving only a small residue. But even this small residue repaired a small part of Xu Le's foundation. So what kind of effect does the Seven Hearts Pill, which gathers a large amount of essence, have?
However, Xu Le couldn't understand why this master didn't just kill the snake spirit and extract it, but instead chose the gentle method of slowly suppressing and refining it. Although the idea was correct, it had a huge flaw.
That great god should have already reached the realm of immortality, not to mention that the power he wields is lifespan, so in theory he doesn't need this thing. So why would he covet this substance of immortality?
Could it be a personal grudge?
Xu Le was completely baffled. His previously smooth train of thought was interrupted by this, and he felt somewhat irritated.
At that moment, a voice came from afar: "Sir, the Green Snake Demon King has arrived. The King has sent me to invite you!"
Xu Le laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with greed, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey with ferocity and cruelty.

The next morning, as dawn broke, the sun appeared behind the mountain peaks, then slowly rose, casting its warm rays upon the earth, dispelling the darkness, and all things gradually awoke.
The little monsters started to get active, and the drunken scorpion demon slowly woke up. He shook his groggy head and looked around. He found himself covered with a blanket, and next to him slept a snake demon dressed in a thin veil. She seemed a little tired and was curled up in a ball, sleeping quietly.
Scorpion looked at her with heartache and wanted to cover her with the blanket in his hand, but as he got closer, a familiar fishy smell entered his nose.
Could it be that he got drunk with his wife yesterday...?
The scorpion demon felt even more guilty. He hadn't expected to be so reckless while drunk, leaving his wife so exhausted. The scorpion demon felt he should find some fresh, live creatures to nourish his wife.
Thinking of this, the scorpion demon tiptoed out of the room. However, he did not see that after he left, the snake demon slowly opened her eyes, looked at the blanket covering her, and was overcome with grief, unable to stop sobbing.
…………
Xu Le sat cross-legged on the stone bed in the cave, visualizing himself with his divine sense. He slowly used the seven-colored divine light he had absorbed from the snake spirit to repair the damaged foundation within his body. The injuries within his body were gradually repaired, and the damaged foundation was repaired a little bit. Although the effect was not significant, it stopped the trend of further damage to the foundation.
Xu Le also learned about the snake spirit's identity yesterday: a descendant of Nuwa. Their ancestor was transformed from a drop of blood from Nuwa, the goddess who mended the sky, and was formed from the essence of heaven and earth. Therefore, their clan has a lofty status.
The snake spirit and her sister were the daughters of a prominent figure in the ancient clan. They originally lived a very good life, spending their days wandering in the mountains and forests, and their lives were quite fulfilling.
However, just as the snake spirit had transformed into a half-human form and went out for a stroll with her sister, blood rain fell from the sky, the world wailed, and all sentient beings felt a soul-deep fear.
