Xiao Wenbing had been secretly shaking his head as he listened from the side. However, the Seven-Colored Winged King's question was completely unexpected. Why would he suddenly ask the giant snake such a question?
The Great Serpent Supreme considered for a moment and said, "That's right, your forest is indeed the largest natural treasure trove in Huangzhou. To be honest, I'm quite envious of many things produced there."
Hearing the giant serpent openly express its naked greed, the Seven-Colored Winged King actually seemed pleased.
The forest and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons are very close. If you see anything you like, just let me know, and I will have my men bring it to you.
Xiao Wenbing's eyes widened, and he gasped. He had seen the giant snake's treasure with his own eyes. There were indeed many good things in that ring. With this guy's wealth, anything he would still covet must be an absolute treasure.
This Seven-Colored Winged King, however, is clearly a spendthrift. He knows perfectly well how greedy others are, yet he seems worried that they won't even look at him. Has he lost his mind?
However, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem right. Xiao Wenbing vaguely felt that they were definitely talking about some inside information that he didn't know.
Sure enough, the Seven-Colored Winged King paused, then asked seemingly casually, "I heard that you used the power of heavenly lightning during your battle with the Multi-Handed One, is that right?"
The giant snake smiled slightly. "What do you mean, 'I've heard'? Although Huangzhou City and Lin Hai are extremely far apart, the battle between them was incredibly fierce. The boundless, powerful aura emanated from it far and wide; it was impossible not to alert this bird. It's very likely that this guy, relying on its unparalleled speed, has already personally experienced the lingering aura firsthand." (Huaxia Chinese member forwarding)
Her question clearly indicated that she wanted to know the source of the lightning power, and her purpose was self-evident.
"That's right, I have mastered a little bit of the power of lightning."
A sudden light flashed in his eyes. The Seven-Colored Winged King asked, "Did you comprehend this on your own?"
"No," the Great Serpent Supreme replied honestly, "I relied on external forces."
The Seven-Colored Winged King's eyes burned even more intensely. After pondering for a long time, he asked, "Brother Great Serpent, would you be willing to tell me?"
"Alright." The Great Serpent Supreme agreed with a grin, saying, "This method is actually very simple. Anyone, as long as they are willing, can obtain the power of lightning in just a few breaths."
"Is that so?" The Seven-Colored Winged King was taken aback. Lightning power was the most powerful energy, far surpassing even the Earth Immortal Fire it had recently acquired. Yet, in the serpent's mouth, it was portrayed as something that anyone could easily possess. How could it possibly believe that?
"However, although this method is simple, the price to be paid is extremely high, and not everyone can bear it."
A hint of displeasure appeared on the beautiful yet cold face of the Seven-Colored Winged King as she said, "Anything Brother Snake can do, I can do too."
"Haha." The Great Serpent Supreme laughed heartily, saying, "Excellent! If you agree, then I'll have company." (Huaxia Novel Network)
"keep company?"
“Exactly, look.” The Great Serpent Supreme lowered his voice, pointing to the phoenix in white robes in the distance, who was as cold as the Seven-Colored Winged King, and said, “Do you see it?”
"What's wrong with her?" the Seven-Colored Winged King asked, puzzled, not understanding why the giant serpent would care so much about a human at the Integration Realm.
"I recently became her master."
"Hmm, recognize her as..." The Seven-Colored Winged King suddenly turned around, his face filled with horror as he sized up the Great Serpent Supreme. As if recognizing it for the first time, he asked, "What did you just say?"
"It's nothing, I'm just acknowledging her as my master."
"You've recognized your master?"
The Great Serpent Supreme pointed to the lightning bolt-shaped mark on his forehead. Although he didn't answer the Seven-Colored Winged King's question, the other party had already obtained his answer. (Contributed by a member of Huaxia Chinese Network)
"Are you... insane?"
"No, I just want to gain great power."
"Has she mastered the power of heavenly lightning?" After a moment of contemplation, the Seven-Colored Winged King shifted his gaze to Feng Baiyi and asked.
"That's right, she has the body of Heavenly Thunder. She has a deeper understanding of the power of Heavenly Thunder's origin, which is why she was able to grant me power," the giant serpent said with certainty.
"Is it worth it to acknowledge her as my master?"
"You should ask yourself that question." The serpent's eyes were crystal clear, seemingly gleaming with extreme wisdom: "For power, I am willing to give up everything."
Xiao Wenbing, standing to the side, slightly curled the corner of his mouth. He knew that the Great Serpent Supreme was deliberately trying to confuse the issue, since it hadn't mentioned a word about being trapped in the Immortal Cave.
What does it mean to give up everything for power? If it weren't for that specific situation, would Orochi have made that choice? That remains to be seen.
I glanced at this creature. Considering its drastically different behavior inside the Immortal Imprisonment Cave and outside Huangzhou City, I couldn't help but admire the giant snake's acting skills. I'll have to be careful when dealing with it in the future, and not be easily fooled.
"Alright, let's go." The giant snake suddenly laughed.
The Seven-Colored Winged King glanced at the other party with a complicated expression and said, "Alright, to the Forest Sea, or the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons?"
"This time we need to teleport seven people, let's go to my place."
"Seven people?"
"Indeed, my master and his companions are quite interested in the Grand Immortals' Exchange Meeting and would like to attend."
Volume 20, Chapter 8: Horrifying Minefield (Part 1)
------------------------
Inside the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, near the cliff on the right, there is a huge teleportation array.
All Earth Immortals can easily master the skill of fixed-point teleportation, but this skill can only teleport within a visible range. If the distance is too far, their only option is to use a teleportation array.
However, compared to teleportation arrays used by cultivators, those used by immortals are significantly different. Not only is the teleportation distance much greater, but the security is also greatly enhanced. Basically, under the operation of immortal spiritual power, unless one is unlucky enough to be attacked, it's difficult for anything to go wrong.
Although the Seven-Colored Winged King remained silent throughout the journey, it was clear from her attitude that she did not approve of Xiao Wenbing and the others traveling together.
If it hadn't known that Xiao Wenbing possessed divine status and that Feng Baiyi had mastered the power of the Heavenly Thunder Origin, it probably would have objected on the spot.
Upon arriving at the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, the Seven-Colored Winged King suddenly said, "Great Serpent, they were brought there by you. It has nothing to do with me."
The Great Serpent Supreme frowned on his handsome face and said, "Seven Colors, you're too stingy. It's just borrowing a name."
"Even if I lend you the title, there are still two out of six people who cannot enter the area."
"It's alright, four is fine." Seeing that the Seven-Colored Winged King had relented, the Great Serpent laughed and said, "Seven-Colored, I will remember your kindness. At worst, I'll practice with you more in the future."
The Seven-Colored Winged King stopped in his tracks. He said, "Alright, it's settled then."
Xiao Wenbing gently pulled the giant snake back and asked, "Hey, what are you talking about?"
The Great Serpent Supreme turned around and explained, "To enter the Great Immortal Exchange Meeting, one needs a certain status; it doesn't necessarily have to be a Supreme. But at least one must be at the Upper Immortal realm."
Xiao Wenbing responded, though a slight regret lingered. However, their primary purpose in traveling to the Linglong Immortal Realm was to see the Fire Spirit Immortal. While the Great Immortal Exchange Conference was quite attractive, it wasn't strictly necessary to attend.
So he laughed and said, "That's fine too. We'll all go to another plane to broaden our horizons. You guys can attend the exchange meeting, and we'll go sightseeing."
The giant snake glanced at Xiao Wenbing and, seeing that he didn't seem too disappointed, was secretly surprised. It said, "That's not necessary. Although those below the Upper Immortal realm cannot enter the exchange meeting alone, we Supremes are an exception. Each of us is allowed to bring two ordinary immortals into the venue."
"Oh." Xiao Wenbing turned to look at the people around him. He smiled and said, "It's alright. We can leave Pigsy and Queenie outside. Yaqi, Baiyi, and Diexian will go in with you."
They naturally had no objections to Xiao Wenbing's arrangements. Pigsy and Queenie immediately nodded in agreement.
Butterfly Fairy secretly asked the Great Serpent Supreme, "Grandpa Serpent, what did you promise the Seven-Colored Supreme just now?"
This little guy also has Feng Baiyi's blood flowing through his veins, so after the Great Serpent Supreme recognized Feng Baiyi as her master, she was no longer afraid of this top-level Supreme Immortal.
The Great Serpent Supreme laughed and said, "I have mastered the power of lightning, and Seven Colors is very envious of it, so she wants me to give her some pointers."
The Seven-Colored Winged King suddenly turned its head and glared at it fiercely, but it never refuted it.
At this moment, they had already stepped into the teleportation array. Seeing that the Great Serpent and the others were still nagging, the Seven-Colored Winged King couldn't help but urge them, "Great Serpent, let's go now, it's already too late."
"Alright, alright, calm down, I'll activate it now." As soon as the Great Serpent Supreme finished speaking, ten thousand rays of red light emanated from the teleportation array, and in a moment, everyone disappeared from the array without a trace.
Xiao Wenbing closed his eyes slightly, focusing all his attention on sensing the changes in the surrounding space.
The teleportation array personally set up by the giant serpent was indeed extraordinary; Xiao Wenbing even felt the layering of space within it.
In the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot into the sky. The beam of light accelerated faster and faster, and when it reached a height of tens of thousands of meters, it suddenly broke through the void and led to another world.
Within the valley, all the snakes, insects, and ferocious beasts, sensing the supreme aura of the great serpent, prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.
After a long while, the pillar of light dissipated.
The Scorpion Fairy shouted twice, and the valley immediately returned to normal.
However, unlike before, human immortals frequently passed by above the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. The experts within the valley, however, seemed oblivious to this. It was as if these two realms, one above and one below, were distinct, with humans and demons clearly separated and undisturbed by each other.
The sky was cloudless, a rare and clear expanse.
On the ground, countless herds of animals roamed back and forth, fully enjoying the life force of nature.
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation arose in the void, as if many wrinkles had suddenly appeared out of thin air and it began to tremble.
The cattle and sheep raised their heads alertly, their biological instincts sensing a powerful threat. Without warning, the nearby herds of animals scattered and fled into the distance.
With a flash of light, the void finally cracked open. A dazzling pillar of light flew down to the ground.
Xiao Wenbing's vision blurred. He had already flown out of the passage. Looking around, he exclaimed in surprise, "Giant Serpent! Why isn't there a teleportation array here?"
Before the giant serpent could answer, the Seven-Colored Winged King sneered, "Supreme teleportation can, of course, reach any location. You'll understand when you advance to the Refining God Realm a million years from now."
Xiao Wenbing glanced at her unhappily. Although the bird's attitude was completely different from when they first met, his Integration Realm cultivation was still being treated unfairly by her.
"Let's go." The giant snake gave a wry smile, determined the direction, and left first.
The group moved extremely fast, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the edge of a treacherous valley.
From afar, one could hear the rumbling of thunder echoing through the valley; within a radius of a thousand miles, not a single living creature could be seen.
“Thundercloud storm,” Zhang Yaqi said softly.
Everyone's gazes involuntarily turned serious. Although they were still some distance from the valley, they could already sense the powerful energy within it.
That feeling was not unfamiliar to Xiao Wenbing and the two women. It was the thundercloud storm that had once given them so much trouble.
This power, capable of destroying an entire world, is currently sealed within this vast valley by a mysterious energy, without leaking even a trace.
Feng Baiyi's gaze shifted to Zhang Yaqi. She asked, "Is it the power of order?"
Zhang Yaqi nodded slightly. She said, "Yes, there is indeed the power of order on the outer edge of the thundercloud storm. This power is quite peculiar, and it is the same as the Qiankun Circle. However," she hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "However, it contains all five elements."
Xiao Wenbing suddenly turned his head and looked up. Both Quini and Feng Baiyi couldn't help but show extreme surprise in their eyes.
The two of them naturally knew the secret of the Qiankun Enclosure. They also understood why the lightning power was behaving so obediently.
Using the Ring of Order as a medium, it combined the immense power of the Five Elements. No wonder it was able to imprison all the power of earth and heavenly thunder.
For most people, the unity of the five elements is just a beautiful wish. Just think about how the Great Serpent Supreme and others have gone to great lengths for millions of years and have not even seen a single spirit of the five elements, and you will know the true value of these things.
"Orochi, who laid these minefields?"
"I don't know." The Great Serpent Supreme shrugged. He said, "According to ancient legends, the Thunder Zone existed since the founding of the Immortal Realm."
