210. The Growth of Azure Scales
The region with the most powerful individuals and the most complex situation in the Dou Qi Continent is undoubtedly the absolute center of the entire continent, which occupies the largest area of the entire Dou Qi Continent—Zhongzhou.
The forces in the Central Plains are complex and numerous, with countless powerful individuals. Not only are there many strong human warriors, but the magical beast forces in the Central Plains are also not to be underestimated.
The powerful magical beast clans, once they get serious, can shake the entire Central Continent!
The Nine Netherworld Python Clan is one of the dominant forces in the Central Continent. Its members can be said to be spread throughout the entire Central Continent, and it is a force with a great reputation throughout the continent!
Some ancient books even record that the Nine Netherworld Python was once the most powerful force on the entire continent!
However, it is too far removed from the present day, and how the Nine Netherworld Pythons achieved this, and how they subsequently declined, is something that only a few people within the Nine Netherworld Python clan know some of the details of.
However, the Nine Netherworld Python clan still possesses rich resources as a top power on the continent, such as the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring, their sacred cultivation ground.
The water in the Nine Nether Cold Spring is extremely yin and cold. For people with yin and cold attributes, this is a sacred place. It is a special place used by the Nine Nether Earth Python clan to break through their own strength bottleneck.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the Nine Nether Cold Spring, a misty haze hung in the air, and the spring water gurgled, exuding a bone-chilling cold. Xiao Xun'er stood quietly by the spring, her beauty contrasting sharply with the cold, icy atmosphere of the water.
She wore an elegant long dress, the hem swaying gently in the cold wind, like a blooming white lotus, pure and noble. Xiao Xun'er's long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, lightly moistened by the mist from the cold spring, making it appear even more lustrous and black. Her long hair was blown by the cold wind, gently brushing against her delicate face, and a faint trace of sorrow now appeared in her autumn-water-like eyes.
Xiao Xun'er gently reached out and touched the surface of the cold spring. Ripples immediately spread across the water, just like the lake of her heart at this moment, stirred by her longing and unable to find peace.
However, this tranquil atmosphere was broken as the two auras within the Nine-Flowing Cold Spring began to grow stronger.
A graceful figure in a light green robe floated in the air above the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, swaying gently in the wind and shimmering with a faint emerald green luster. Her eyes sparkled with emerald light, and her hands formed a hand seal. Her Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil slowly rotated, releasing a strange power that attracted the chilling energy from the cold spring, transforming it into her own battle qi. As she absorbed the battle qi, energy continuously surged from Qing Lin's body, like a vast energy reservoir buried within her, showing no sign of drying up no matter how much it was released.
As her cultivation progressed, Qinglin's cultivation level steadily improved, and her aura became increasingly powerful.
Beside Qing Lin stood a Nine Netherworld Python, the overlord of the abyss. Its massive body, covered in jet-black scales, swam in the icy spring like a black dragon. The Nine Netherworld Python opened its enormous jaws, devouring the frigid air from the spring, its fighting spirit constantly increasing. With each breath, it created a massive vortex of cold air around it, a truly spectacular sight.
Qinglin and the Nine Netherworld Python cultivated in the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring, their auras gradually merging to form a powerful cultivation field. Qinglin's Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil and the Nine Netherworld Python's Abyssal Power complemented each other, making their cultivation twice as effective.
As time passed, both Qinglin and the Nine Netherworld Python's cultivation levels improved significantly. Qinglin's Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils became even more profound, and her battle qi became purer. Meanwhile, the Nine Netherworld Python's body grew even larger, its scales shimmering with a cold, eerie light under the reflection of the icy spring.
At a moment when the light shone out of nowhere, the black scales of the Nine Netherworld Python suddenly showed speckles of silver-white, and the aura of the Nine Netherworld Python began to slowly disappear, but it did not really disappear; it was just temporarily imperceptible.
The frigid chill of the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring could easily freeze even the most arrogant Dou Wang and Dou Huang powerhouses to death. As Qing Lin's aura grew stronger, her fair feet were enveloped in the icy air of the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring. Then, her feet began to solidify, becoming completely encased in ice from the soles to the ankles.
As Qinglin released her aura, the green battle qi directly stirred up the Nine Nether Cold Spring, shattering the ice on her jade feet. Qinglin's pupils flashed with an even deeper green light than before. The Nine Nether Earth Python, which had been beside Qinglin, seemed to sense this and let out a low roar that echoed in the space for a long time.
Qinglin reached out his right hand and patted the huge head of the Nine Netherworld Python. The originally arrogant Nine Netherworld Python carefully moved its head and rubbed it slightly against Qinglin's hand, expressing its joy to its master.
"Yes, Xiaohan has made great progress today too!"
The bright and beautiful Nine Netherworld Python Xiao Han, which was given to Qing Lin, is already closely connected with Qing Lin and understands her heart. She can usually convey her meaning directly to Qing Lin.
"Xiao Han, come back."
The green light in Qinglin's bright eyes swept over the Nine Netherworld Python and contained it in the strange space within the Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil.
Qinglin slowly emerged from the pool, her jade-like feet creating ripples in the Nine Nether Cold Spring. Reaching the shore, Qinglin easily leaped ashore, her feet still glistening with water droplets, leaving wet footprints on the ground.
Qinglin has a slender figure and a light body. Most importantly, her every move exudes a special vitality, just like a green elf in this cold and desolate place!
"Sister Xun'er, I'm ready!"
Qinglin looked at the elegant and beautiful girl in front of him and smiled.
Looking at Qinglin emerging from the Nine Nether Cold Spring, even with her discerning eye, Xun'er couldn't help but reveal her appreciation for Qinglin!
"Your skills have improved so quickly!"
Xun'er brought Qinglin from the Northwest Region to the Central State in just three years, and in those three years, Qinglin went from a girl who had just entered the Douhuang realm to a two-star Douzun powerhouse! Such speed caused quite a stir even among the ancient clans!
Hearing Xun'er's praise, Qinglin replied shyly and modestly, "It's because Sister Xun'er always brings me to this Nine Nether Cold Spring that I can move so quickly."
Xun'er smiled and said, "The Nine Nether Cold Spring is indeed very effective for you and Xiao Han, but it won't give you such a terrifying speed of progress."
Xun'er naturally knew that Qinglin had a secret, and Xiao Yan had also subtly mentioned to her that Qinglin was the one who gained the most in the Ten Thousand Beasts Space. However, everyone has their own secrets, and since Qinglin was unwilling to tell her, Xun'er did not force him.
