The territory of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe. Amidst the snake caves surrounded by Purple Yuan Fog, a chilling aura permeated the mountains.
As one of the three great Magical Beast families, the defense line of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python was perfectly arranged.
However, due to the territory being simply too large, there were always some places that couldn't be covered.
Han Feng sent out a concealed spatial fluctuation, wrapping the entire spirit boat within it.
The methods of a Dou Saint could easily hide low-level spatial fluctuations. This meant that unless a Dou Saint personally came out, Han Feng's tracks would not be discovered.
However, Han Feng still advanced cautiously, searching for the location of the Nine Serene Yellow Spring.
After all, no one knew if they would coincidentally encounter a Dou Saint of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe.
After entering the territory of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python, the surrounding environment suddenly dimmed.
It was as if all hope had been cut off; once one entered the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python territory, one shouldn't think about escaping.
Green light bloomed in Qing Lin's pupils, penetrating layers of purple fog and seeing the scene below.
"So many Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons!"
Qing Lin exclaimed.
In the dark purple jungle, masses of pitch-black lines twisted together, giving people a sense of grim oppression.
Just looking at their appearance, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python indeed had a lot of presence, worthy of the name overlord of snakes.
In this era, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python was the recognized overlord among snake-type magical beasts.
Large quantity, wide species range.
Although there were some rare snake bloodlines on the continent, such as the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, which could surpass the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python, their numbers were too few, and they hadn't grown to the ninth rank yet.
"Take a good look. If there's one you like, you can catch two to take back."
Han Feng said.
"This..."
Qing Lin was somewhat tempted.
Although the Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons looked terrifying, their strength was definitely top-notch among snake-type magical beasts.
As long as she subdued a Nine Serene Deep Ground Python, Qing Lin's strength would definitely improve further.
Not to mention she could absorb cultivation from the other party, just the unique fighting style of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python was very valuable.
"With your current realm, catching those at Tier 6 and Tier 7 is most appropriate."
Han Feng suggested.
The effect of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils was powerful, capable of controlling snake-type magical beasts across ranks, but this actually depended on the soul realm.
After awakening the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Qing Lin's soul realm had rapidly improved to the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm.
After years of hard cultivation, it had now reached the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm, ready to break through to the Spiritual Realm at any time.
Compared to Lin Xian'er, Qing Lin was more talented in the path of the soul.
She herself had also put a lot of hard work into this aspect, so surpassing Lin Xian'er wasn't a rare thing.
Qing Lin could control Tier 6 magical beasts now, but for Tier 7, probability had to be considered.
If the strength exceeded the range too much, there might be a backlash.
The risk caused by the backlash was unnecessary in Han Feng's view.
With someone protecting her from above, there was no need to take dangerous paths. Following the steps and improving step by step was enough.
Qing Lin nodded and began to carefully search for Tier 6 and Tier 7 magical beasts below.
"No need to rush."
Han Feng patted Qing Lin's shoulder, "If you choose one you're not satisfied with, we can come back later. The Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons are always here anyway."
Qing Lin gave a soft "En", but in her heart, she didn't want to trouble Han Feng too much, so she searched even more seriously instead.
The territory was very large. Qing Lin searched for a long time and finally selected two "lucky" Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons.
Han Feng covertly sent out two streams of spatial power. Without disturbing anyone, he directly collected the two demonic snakes into his space.
"Alright, complete the contract with the Tier 6 one first. After getting familiar with it, try the Tier 7 one."
Han Feng moved the Tier 6 Nine Serene Deep Ground Python out of the space and handed it over to Qing Lin.
Qing Lin had prepared early. Cyan light condensed into a solid spike in her eyes and flew into the brow of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python.
Almost in an instant, the Tier 6 Nine Serene Deep Ground Python lowered its head, its eyes occupied by three small cyan flowers.
"Success!"
Qing Lin clenched her small fist and said excitedly.
Although she had a premonition that she could succeed, contracting the famous Nine Serene Deep Ground Python on the continent still made the little girl excited for a while.
"Before this eye technique reaches great accomplishment, don't expose it in a crowd. Otherwise, I'm afraid all snake species in the world will regard you as a thorn in their eyes and flesh."
Mu Qingluan sighed with emotion from the side.
This was the first time she had seen the power of Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
Easily subduing a Nine Serene Deep Ground Python of the same rank as herself was simply unheard of.
If she were a snake-type magical beast standing beside Qing Lin, her hair would definitely stand on end.
Wait, if she were a snake, she wouldn't have hair. Putting aside the distracting thoughts in her mind, Mu Qingluan shook her head.
"I know, Qingluan."
Qing Lin knew that this was Mu Qingluan caring about her.
"Don't worry too much. As long as you don't subdue magical beasts in front of people, summoning the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python to assist in battle won't cause any problems."
Mu Qingluan patted Qing Lin's shoulder and said.
"The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python isn't like the Sky Demon Phoenix; they don't value their own bloodline as highly."
If the Sky Demon Phoenix found out that their clansmen were enslaved, they would probably come knocking immediately to exterminate the other party's entire clan.
Han Feng smiled without speaking.
The rules of the Sky Demon Phoenix seemed quite sentimental, but in reality, it was because of the arrogance of their own race.
In his previous life, Han Feng had met a few Sky Demon Phoenix clansmen. That kind of arrogance seemed to be carved into their bones.
No matter what the other party's strength was, even when facing a Dou Venerate, there was only politeness in words, but in their hearts, they always looked down on outsiders.
In the Magical Beast families where bloodline theory prevailed, this situation was actually not uncommon, but the only family that could do it to the extent of the Sky Demon Phoenix was just this one.
If judging by actual occurrences, Han Feng had actually already offended the Sky Demon Phoenix tribe.
The set of Sky Phoenix Armor on Lin Xian'er was forged from the skeleton of a Sky Demon Phoenix that had fallen outside.
Although Han Feng did not kill the Sky Demon Phoenix, this behavior had already violated the bottom line of the Sky Demon Phoenix tribe.
Each clan had its own rules, and Han Feng couldn't delusionally think of changing them.
Fortunately, under his re-refining, the aura of the Sky Phoenix Armor had changed. Even if the Sky Demon Phoenix tribe came personally, they couldn't recognize at a glance that the Sky Phoenix Armor was refined from Sky Phoenix bones.
After Qing Lin subdued the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python, she moved it into her eye technique space and began to slowly train it.
Han Feng continued to search for the location of the Nine Serene Yellow Spring.
As the holy land of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe, the Nine Serene Yellow Spring was a heavily protected place.
But this protection now became a clue for Han Feng to find it.
Top-notch paradises generally had accompanying environments to provide cover for them.
If Han Feng searched by himself, he might not find the Nine Serene Yellow Spring for a long time.
This was the self-protection of the paradise.
But if there were Nether Snake Guards guarding outside the Yellow Spring, it would be different.
Han Feng's gaze locked onto some snake guards. They were moving concealed among the mountain paths, and the aura on their bodies was all above Tier 7.
Such strong individuals were actually reduced to guards.
Han Feng's divine consciousness probed downwards, crossing layers of boundaries, deep into the pitch-black cave entrance.
In an instant, an extreme cold invaded his soul.
Instead of being alarmed, Han Feng's eyes showed joy.
Found it! He waved his sleeve forward. Spatial power tore open another spatial entrance. The entire boat body smashed straight towards the mountain peak, but fell out of thin air at the intersection point, arriving inside the Nine Serene Yellow Spring.
This place was extremely cold and yin. Even the Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons dared not set foot here personally, but the escaping Yellow Spring Yin Qi was of great benefit to yin attribute magical beasts, which was why so many Tier 7 magical beasts were willing to guard this place.
Aside from daily patrols, this place was simply a natural cultivation treasure land.
However, their tight guard obviously did not prevent Han Feng, who wanted to enter this place.
For a Dou Saint powerhouse, as long as they were not blocked by cultivators of the same level, ninety-nine percent of the places in the world were accessible.
The boat body disbanded, and Han Feng landed on the ground with the girls.
The rolling Yellow Spring Qi made the girls feel a coldness emanating from within their bodies.
The Golden Emperor Incinerating Heaven Flame within Gu Xun'er showed its might again, dispelling the Yellow Spring Qi invading her body.
But the others besides her were helpless.
Even though Lin Xian'er also had a Heavenly Flame protecting her body, the Nether Poison Flame was still unable to resist the coldness of the Nine Serene Yellow Spring.
Han Feng raised his hand and opened a Dou Qi shield, wrapping the few people within it.
The warm Dou Qi instantly dispelled the chill within the girls' bodies.
Gu Xun'er was somewhat surprised in her heart.
Mr. Han's Dou Qi, why does it feel even warmer than my own Golden Emperor Incinerating Heaven Flame?
"The yin energy here is heavy. You guys stand on the shore and don't go into the river."
There were no snake guards inside the cave; it was deserted and cold. Staying in the Dou Qi shield and watching the flowing Yellow Spring in the river channel had a different flavor.
"I heard that the coldness under the Yellow Spring is hundreds of times that on the surface. Even a Dou Saint powerhouse might not be able to withstand it."
Gu Xun'er spoke up: "Mr. Han must be careful, absolutely do not force yourself."
Han Feng nodded, gave the few people a reassuring smile, then jumped into the rolling Yellow Spring.
Lin Xian'er walked quickly to the edge of the Yellow Spring, looking at the turbulent water surface below, a trace of worry appearing on her face.
A wisp of cold air flowed along the bank to Lin Xian'er's feet, but before it touched her body, it was dispelled by the flame left by Han Feng.
"Xun'er, is it really that dangerous down there?"
"The Nine Serene Yellow Spring is a famous gathering place of yin energy. The saying that it threatens Dou Saints is not empty words."
Gu Xun'er came to Lin Xian'er's side, golden flames flashing in her eyes as she looked at the Yellow Spring river surface.
"Believe in Mr. Han."
Under the Yellow Spring River.
As soon as Han Feng entered the water, he felt the extremely cold Yellow Spring chill surging into his body continuously.
This kind of Yellow Spring chill was different from ordinary cold air; it could easily freeze burning flames. If not for Heavenly Flames, it would probably be difficult to maintain heat under this kind of chill.
Han Feng relied on his vigorous flame Dou Qi to resist the constantly increasing chill.
Although he was prepared in his heart, he still underestimated the power of the Yellow Spring.
If relying only on the Dou Saint's flame law, perhaps one could maintain vitality in the Yellow Spring, but wanting to go deep to the bottom of the Yellow Spring was wishful thinking.
"Heavenly Flames, appear!"
A cluster of seven-colored Heavenly Flames suddenly appeared in Han Feng's hand.
Sea Heart, Green Lotus, Falling Heart, Ten Thousand Beast, Black Yellow, Nether Poison, Lightning Gang.
Seven clusters of flames slowly rotated around Han Feng. A wave of terrifying heat diffused, and all the chill instantly retreated.
"Having Heavenly Flames and not having Heavenly Flames, there really is a big difference."
Han Feng smiled gently.
Now, he felt confident in his heart.
The power of seven Heavenly Flames; even the Nine Serene Yellow Spring could only bow down.
Traveling unimpeded all the way, Han Feng arrived at the bottom of the Yellow Spring.
The environment here was even darker and heavier than the shallow surface of the river, making people breathless.
From time to time, a black shadow swam past nearby; those were strange creatures living in the Yellow Spring.
Just as the Fire Lizard Race thrived in the extremely hot magma world, at the bottom of the Yellow Spring, which ordinary people found hard to reach, there were also Extreme Yin Black Snakes adapted to the environment.
Seeing another living being dive to this depth for the first time, these black snakes surrounded Han Feng, refusing to disperse for a long time.
The water arrows spat from their mouths could easily break through flame Dou Qi. With a slight carelessness, one might be buried here.
Han Feng did not act easily. Instead, looking at the gathering Extreme Yin Black Snakes, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
A black flame suddenly ignited in his hand. Extreme yin aura emanated from it, causing these Extreme Yin Black Snakes to swim wildly.
As if discovering some delicious delicacy, they desperately surged towards the black flame.
Han Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. The moment the black snakes approached, the flame in his hand expanded rapidly, swallowing them all.
Powerful energy exploded within the flame. Although the Extreme Yin Black Snakes could adapt to the cold, they were far inferior to Han Feng on the power level.
Within moments, all the approaching Extreme Yin Black Snakes turned into extreme yin energy, becoming nutrients for the Nine Serene Wind Flame.
Han Feng strolled forward. Around him, there were still endless Extreme Yin Black Snakes eager for action.
Like moths to a flame, even knowing that death lay ahead, they were still obsessed.
Han Feng didn't drive them away either; he took them wave by wave as they came.
He didn't stop until he walked to a depression at the bottom of the Yellow Spring.
This was the place with the densest yin energy nearby that he currently sensed.
Placing the Nine Serene Wind Flame here should allow it to quickly absorb the extreme yin energy of the Nine Serene Yellow Spring and grow stronger.
Although there might be better places ahead, the difference shouldn't be much.
Just as Han Feng prepared to put down the Nine Serene Wind Flame, a weak voice suddenly came from the distance.
"Save me, save me..."
Han Feng's gaze sharpened, and he turned to look at the place where the voice came from.
"Someone is here..."
Han Feng's brows condensed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he decided to go and investigate.
He increased his speed and flew in the direction the voice came from.
A person who could survive in the Nine Serene Yellow Spring should not have a weak cultivation base.
Han Feng carefully walked to the edge of the sound. Spreading out his soul power to search, he was surprised to find that below the bottom of the Yellow Spring, there was actually a deep cave.
That cry for help came from inside.
Han Feng urged the Heavenly Flames and swam towards the cave.
The spread-out soul power transmitted the image inside the cave in advance.
He saw a skinny person trapped by four chains on a stone platform carved with patterns. He lowered his head, and a weak voice issued from his mouth.
Seeming to sense Han Feng's arrival, the trapped person raised his head and looked at Han Feng, who was still in the darkness.
"Save me..."
