Chapter 28 - A Worthwhile Trip!
Chapter 28 A Worthwhile Trip!
One person and one python looked at each other!
Compared with such a giant python, Chu Xun was so tiny, which seemed a little funny.
But Chu Xun didn’t think it was funny.
In the world of cultivation, the Colorful Hellish Python was one of the top-level monsters and could change into a human being. He knew that one of the Immortal Emperors was changed from the Hellish Python.
The Hellish Python had been accompanied by the Heavenly Lotus and irrigated by Spiritual Energy, so even if it hadn’t cultivated, it still could compete with those cultivators who were at the level of Foundation with hard scales.
Chu Xun was only at the middle-stage of Qi Refinement now. Even if he had mastered the Azure Dragon’s Nine Transformations Technique, he still was no match for the Hellish Python.
If he were in the world of cultivation, Chu Xun would choose to withdraw without hesitation. It was not worth fighting with such a monster just for a Colorful Heavenly Lotus.
But now, he didn’t want to go back, nor could he, because maybe this Colorful Heavenly Lotus was the only one on the earth.
“Hawl!”
Maybe the Hellish Python was very dissatisfied with Chu Xun’s crave for its companion flower, or he didn’t pay attention to tiny Chu Xun at all. With a roar, it opened its mouth to bite Chu Xun.
Chu Xun disappeared in place.
“Boom!”
Its huge head hit the ground, rocks flying.
Chu Xun flashed and appeared on the left of the Hellish Python’s head, and punched it fiercely.
“Bang!”
The True Energy burst out, and Chu Xun flew backward.
The Hellish Python roared painfully. Its large head collapsed like a mountain, and several stone pillars were destroyed.
Chu Xun shook his numb arm and couldn’t help being perplexed. His full blow could only make the Hellish Python’s head move a little.
“Hawl!”
The Hellish Python was furious. It didn’t expect that this little man would hurt itself. It shook its head, smashing all the stone pillars in front, and rushed to Chu Xun, just like a bulldozer.
Chu Xun was ready to fight. He flashed and whirled around the body of Hellish Python quickly.
“Bang Bang...”
He punched the Hellish Python a dozen times, making a clash every time.
The defense ability of the Hellish Python was too awesome. Chu Xun’s a dozen blows only made it wobble, smashing several stone pillars again.
But Chu Xun’s attack thoroughly angered the giant. With a roar, the Hellish Python rolled towards Chu Xun.
The stone pillars collapsed, and the underground palace was shaking. If it went on like that, the underground palace might be destroyed.
Chu Xun racked his brain, trying to think out a way to solve the situation.
Although the Hellish Python was terrifying, it had only been baptized by spiritual energy and hadn’t cultivated. The key was that it had lived in this underground palace for some time and had no enemies before, so it lacked combat experience.
Chu Xun waggled slightly, ran under the body of Hellish Python, and appeared in front of the Colorful Heavenly Lotus, like a ghost.
Chu Xun made a seal with one hand and picked the Heavenly Lotus quickly. The Heavenly Lotus was a panacea and needed to be picked with careful and particular methods. If somebody picked it rashly, the effect would be significantly reduced.
After getting the Colorful Heavenly Lotus, Chu Xun flashed and ran towards the gate of the underground palace.
Running away was the best stratagem now.
With his current accomplishments, he couldn’t win the Hellish Python. If he wanted to, he must break through another level.
“Hawl!”
The Colorful Heavenly Lotus was the companion flower of Hellish Python. Now it was picked by Chu Xun. Therefore, the Hellish Python was utterly in a state of frenzy.
It wound around the stone pillar and rushed to Chu Xun, like lightning.
But in terms of speed, the Hellish Python was much slower than Chu Xun.
Chu Xun showed a smile on his face, but soon his smile stiffened, because the ancient and mysterious stone gate was closed at some time.
Chu Xun was so depressed.
The door was closed, and the Hellish Python was running to him.
Chu Xun grit his teeth and ran to the left while the Hellish Python was running and roaring after him.
Chu Xun ran around the underground palace, feeling worried inside. It was not a solution at all.
At this time, Chu Xun’s eyes brightened suddenly. There was a stone room in front of him.
Chu Xun was happy and ran into the stone room.
“Boom!”
Chu Xun ran into the stone room, and before he could observe the room, the Hellish Python had already caught up with him.
Fortunately, the door was only two meters high and one meter wide. The Hellish Python was too huge to enter and just hit the stone door.
But the crash scared Chu Xun. It would not be fun if it destroyed the stone room.
Fortunately, the stone room just shook violently once and then recovered its calm.
“Boom boom...”
The Hellish Python had gone crazy, desperately hitting the stone door.
“What material the stone room is made of? It actually can resist the continuous impact of the Hellish Python.”
The Hellish Python couldn’t get into the stone room, so it went crazy and destroyed many stone pillars outside, which was terrible.
After some time, peace was finally restored outside.
Chu Xun relieved and started to observe the stone room.
The stone room covered an area of one hundred square meters, and there were very few things in the room. There was a dusty shelf, which looked like a bookcase, near the wall. In the center was a stone platform, on which there was a cushion. There should be a place where the master used to cultivate. The most striking was the carvings on the wall, which was lifelike and aggressive.
Chu Xun observed. The first picture showed a young man accidentally broke into a cave and got a book.
The second picture was that the young man was cultivating.
The third picture showed that the young man was being summoned by someone who looked like an emperor.
...
...
When Chu Xun finished reading it, he sighed slightly. It turned out that he was mistaken.
The palace was unowned.
It wrote clear on the stone carvings. The young man accidentally got a book of cultivation and began to cultivate. He made some accomplishments and later was summoned by an emperor. Then, the young man made pills for the emperor. But for some reason, the emperor died suddenly after taking pills, and the young man was chased. Finally, he hid here and died of depression.
Chu Xun went to the bookshelf beside the wall, which was dusty. He waved to dust, then two books, together with a wooden sword, came into sight.
Chu Xun looked at one of them, whose name was Cultivation Methods.
Chu Xun raised his eyebrows, reached for the book, and opened it. After reading about three pages, Chu Xun closed the book and sneered.
“How can it be called Cultivation Methods! The cultivation method in it is simply rough.” Chu Xun waved and the book turned into debris.
He despised these things at all. Any one of his books about the cultivation method was countless times better than this one.
Chu Xun picked up the other book and opened it. It was the record of the young man’s experience of cultivation and the trivia of life.
Chu Xun didn’t want to read the experience of the young man’s cultivation and turned to the back. A note inside aroused his interest.
It said that during the construction of the underground palace, a strange egg was found. The surface of the egg was fluorescent and indestructible.
Chu Xun looked out. If he guessed right, the Hellish Python hatched out of this egg.
Chu Xun turned his eyes to the nearby wooden sword and gave out a sound of surprise.
Chu Xun reached for it, and a slight shake came to him.
“It’s an Immortal Weapon.” Chu Xun said in surprise.
...
This wooden sword was made of Xuan wood. It was very hard. Chu Xun transmitted some True Energy to it, and it immediately gave out a white light.
“Puff!”
The wooden sword penetrated the stone wall easily as if what it cut was a piece of tofu.
Chu Xun drew out the wooden sword, with a slight smile on his face. This sword was not a real Immortal Weapon, but an early form.
But Chu Xun had a way to turn it into a real Immortal Weapon.
This was a worthwhile trip. Above all, he got a Colorful Heavenly Lotus.
The Hellish Python was outside now, so Chu Xun couldn’t go out for the moment.
Chu Xun took out the Colorful Heavenly Lotus, face full of joy.
Immediately, he sat down and decided to cultivate it here. Only if he made another breakthrough again could he deal with the Hellish Python.
The Colorful Heavenly Lotus was giving out colorful lights. Chu Xun put two fingers, side by side, and cut. Then half of a leaf fell and floated in the air, giving off an attractive medicinal perfume.
After Chu Xun cut the Heavenly Lotus several times, seven leaves were floating in front of him, all of which were half leaves.
The Colorful Heavenly Lotus was so precious that Chu Xun didn’t want to eat it all at once.
Chu Xun opened his mouth and waved. Then, the seven leaves quickly fell into his mouth.
As soon as the leaves entered his mouth, he was surrounded by colorful lights.
It worked inside his body.
Chu Xun’s chest fluctuated regularly, and he absorbed it greedily.
One day later, Chu Xun was still cultivating.
Three days had passed!
Five days had passed!
A whole month had passed, but Chu Xun still didn’t wake up.
Until one day in the second month did Chu Xun suddenly open his eyes. Bathed in the golden light, he raised his head and made a clear roar, shaking the whole underground palace.
“Completeness of Qi Refinement!”
Chu Xun felt the majestic and plentiful True Energy inside his body, which was several times stronger than before.
The strength, like the power, was fascinating.
Holding the wooden sword, Chu Xun went out of the stone room. With his current accomplishments and a wooden sword, it was easy for him to deal with the Hellish Python.
“Hawl!”
It was the voice of the Hellish Python.
Chu Xun followed the sound and came to the Hellish Python in an instant.
But Chu Xun was a little surprised.
Only two months had passed, but the Hellish Python had significantly changed.
Seeing Chu Xun, the Hellish Python wanted to hold his head up. However, its head suddenly drooped when it was only raised a few centimeters high, dust blowing.
It was weak!
Chu Xun wasn’t sure whether it was a trick. He took out the wooden sword and wielded it, sending out Sword Qi.
“Clash!”
With a clash, a piece of the scale was quickly cut down by sword Qi.
The Hellish Python felt painful and wriggled, looking at Chu Xun with praying in its big eyes.
Chu Xun thought about it for a second and was suddenly enlightened. He understood why the Hellish Python was so weak.
The Hellish Python and the Colorful Heavenly Lotus were connected. Now the Colorful Heavenly Lotus had been picked by Chu Xun, and the Hellish Python had lost the support of the spiritual energy of the Colorful Heavenly Lotus. Was that the reason for its weakness?
After figuring out, Chu Xun hesitated. “Half of the Colorful Heavenly Lotus is left. Should I save the Hellish Python with the rest of Colorful Heavenly Lotus?”
“If I save you, how about you follow me?” asked Chu Xun. He knew that the Hellish Python could understand him.
Although it hadn’t cultivated, the Hellish Python already had wit after being baptized by Spiritual Energy for a long time.
As expected, the vast head of the Hellish Python moved slightly.
Chu Xun decided to gamble. If he subdued the Hellish Python, it would be a strong fighting capacity for him.
He painfully took out the remaining half of the Heavenly Lotus, stimulated it with True Energy, and then threw it into the mouth of the Hellish Python.
The Hellish Python was the companion animal of the Heavenly Lotus. Besides, the Heavenly Lotus had been stimulated by Chu Xun. Therefore, it worked as soon as it fell into the mouth of the Hellish Python.
The cold eyes of the Hellish Python began to become bright, and the colorful light around his body was very bright. It was full of magnificent vitality.
“Hawl!”
The Hellish Python raised its head and roared.
Chu Xun could feel its joy from its roar, but he didn’t relax. He held the wooden sword tightly and was on guard secretly.
After all, the Hellish Python was a monster and couldn’t be easily believed.
