Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 427 - 412: The Subduing Serpent

Yin Hu Yue turned over onto the horse, and Polly remained motionless, unlike before when she would run and jump around.

Yin Hu Yue smiled, bent over, and extended her slender, fair right hand.

Zhou Leng reached out and grasped it, swung himself onto the horse, and sat behind Yin Hu Yue.

Both of them were Innate Masters, so even without a saddle, they could sit securely.

"Forward."

Polly neighed excitedly, trotting out of Mammoth Town, then galloping rapidly.

Although Polly was only at the Vitality Stage, with two people on her back, she ran like the wind, reaching speeds over 250 kilometers per hour.

If Zhou Leng didn’t use his Lightweight Skill, he couldn’t run this fast even at the Vitality Stage.

On the vast grassland, the silver horse galloped, with Zhou Leng and Yin Hu Yue sitting on the horse’s back, the brisk wind brushing their faces as they chatted and laughed.

After days of battles and cultivation, galloping carefree on the grassland, Zhou Leng felt elated, all troubles vanished.

Leaving her homeland, even with Zhou Leng’s company, Yin Hu Yue felt uneasy. Now, gazing at the beautiful world of Fierce Beasts, feeling the freedom of galloping, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

The two ran for two hours before slowing down to return, chatting along the way.

"My Duke, what plans do you have for the Elves?"

"Future plans are hard to say. The current plan is simple: use the advantages of your Elven race to master the ability to assist Martial Artists. For example, raising magical beasts, making magical beast products. Like converting the resources of the Fierce Beast World into Martial Arts Resources. You Elves have a magical advantage, right?"

"We Elves are born casters, even with the worst talent, surpassing ordinary Demon Spirit Masters. However, Demon Spirit Masters have a powerful cultural heritage that we Elves lack."

"From now on, you Elves will abandon weapons and fully turn to magic, researching demonized items. Start with food and pills, expand and strengthen them, then proceed to research demonized items."

"The main focus now is to supply my cultivation."

Yin Hu Yue said, "I will personally issue a Saintess decree; no one can defy your orders, nor can I."

"Who dared to defy orders before?"

Yin Hu Yue smiled proudly, with a charming glance, yet refused to admit any wrongdoing.

"You have a magic artifact to contact Silver Lake Wind, right?"

"Yes, the Night Garment Mirror, but there aren’t many, only three left, which is enough. It’s a large mirror; you can see each other and even create a translucent body to move in front of the opposing Night Garment Mirror."

"Always pay attention to the developments on Silver Lake Wind’s side, and based on your will, provide direction. The human world’s invasion of various realms is no weaker than that of demons. In fact, many demons in the human world are so captivated they forget home."

"Really?"

"As the monetary system develops to its extreme, demons become nothing more than slaves to money, as a demon demigod once said. I’ve heard that many demons are addicted to games, especially games where humans kill demons," Zhou Leng said.

"Then I will definitely pay attention to them to prevent their corruption."

"After returning, I will give you some magical beast meat, dragon meat, and related items. You’re responsible for cooking and preparing them. Once the information and demonization equipment for Cyan Flame arrive, you can delve deeper into learning and creating."

"Yes."

"Next, I plan to raise some magical beasts. Do you have any recommendations?"

Yin Hu Yue displayed a look of shame, saying, "I’m not familiar with magical beasts of the Ten Realms; perhaps I need your guidance."

"Then I’ll ask others."

Zhou Leng remembered the many specialties he bought from the Tree-man World with Cyan Flame, so he took out a white flower hairpin and handed it to Yin Hu Yue.

"This is for you."

"Oh? Thank you, my Duke." Yin Hu Yue’s beautiful eyes glistened with joy as she gazed at it happily, then asked Zhou Leng to help her put it on.

She happily hummed a melodious Elf song.

Polly occasionally turned her large eyes back towards the two on her back, sighing in her heart at how such a beauty had been spoiled by a Furless Fierce Ape scoundrel.

"By the way, help me issue a Saintess decree, requesting all Elves to contribute High-Energy Shells for the future of the Elven race."

"Yes, my Duke."

"This is also for you. Learn to use it. Although there’s no internet here, we can find a way to establish a local network later. After going back, I’ll leave a set of solar power generation equipment, so you can charge anytime." Zhou Leng said, handing over the Demonized Watch.

"Human items are interesting." Yin Hu Yue was delighted as she fiddled with the Demonized Watch, asking questions, and Zhou Leng taught her how to use it.

Afterward, Zhou Leng transferred the data from his Demonized Watch to her.

Upon returning to Mammoth Town, Zhou Leng received another large number of Star Conches.

The total number of Star Conches in his hand swelled to 40,000, dozens of times more than before entering the Tree-man World.

Zhou Leng found the Elder of the Eight-toothed Mammoth and negotiated with them.

That day, the Eight-toothed Mammoth issued an order declaring the Mammoth Valley as a restricted area for their race, inaccessible to non-Mammoths.

Then they dispatched the Eight-toothed Mammoths and Fierce Beasts to relocate other Fierce Beasts from the valley to outside the valley.

After that, they prepared to breed magical beasts in Mammoth Valley.

Leaving Yin Hu Yue in Mammoth Town, Zhou Leng headed straight for Mammoth Lake, diving into the water to rest.

Zhou Leng always felt that the power of Mammoth Lake was very special.

The Power of Life in the Tree-man World was like a potent drug, strong in effect, directly healing wounds and diseases.

It’s as if wounds heal quickly but leave scars.

The healing approach of Mammoth Lake was subtle and gradual, seemingly not a treatment.

It felt more like recovery, as if time flowed backward, entirely removing injuries.

Upon diving into the lake again, at first, there was no sensation. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Soon, some scattered areas of the body began to feel differently.

Those body cells closely connected to his consciousness seemed to enjoy being there more.

The Mother Tree Leather Armor he was wearing also greedily absorbed Mammoth Lake’s power.

Zhou Leng cleared his mind, gradually falling asleep.

Upon waking, he felt refreshed and looked around the lakeside.

Huang hadn’t returned yet.

Walking back under the Frost Giant Tree, there was no Huang, nor any new Golden Pages.

Zhou Leng leaned against the tree trunk and recounted his experiences.

After finishing, he took out 40,000 Star Conches, piled into a large mound, and sat on it to cultivate the Undying Star Body.

An indescribable sensation surged in his heart.

The light of Ceres in his Will Space shone even brighter, with a noticeable increase in the star power his body absorbed.

Four thousand and forty are a significant gap.

The cultivation speed increased more than five times.

Sitting under the tree, his eyes tightly closed.

The Star Conches’ light remained unchanged, but Zhou Leng seemed able to twist the starlight, condensing a one-millimeter-thick layer of starlight on the surface of his body, resembling armor.

It seemed like a glowing figure sitting under the tree.

The cultivation of the Undying Star Body had finally officially begun.

The previous cultivation felt more like begging.

The Mother Tree Leather Armor was also absorbing the scattered star power.

Zhou Leng continued cultivating, sitting for three days and nights, finally feeling that this cultivation had reached the body’s limit.

Slowly opening his eyes, the starlight around him gradually dissipated.

He gently clenched his fist, clearly feeling the increase in bodily strength.

Unlike the Tree-man inheritance which mainly enhanced cellular activity, the Undying Star Body comprehensively enhanced all limits of the body.

"Grr..."

A strong sense of hunger spread throughout his body.

Zhou Leng took out the Innate Dragon Meat given by the Blood of Tyranny, set up the grill, and quickly barbecued and ate.

The Innate Dragon Meat had a great flavor and texture, containing power far surpassing any magical beast meat.

Paired with the orange-flavored giant insect juice, along with ant eggs and Water of Life, made for a delightful feast.

After a storm-like feast, Zhou Leng clutched his full belly, leaning against the tree trunk.

After a while, he felt discomfort in his stomach.

He had eaten too much.

The Innate Dragon Meat contained a considerable amount of Great Innate Giant Dragon meat, which his current body couldn’t quickly digest.

Thus, he practiced the Ten Reversed Beast Fist repeatedly, continuously cultivating the Establishing Image Chapter and Flying Whale Chapter.

The terrifying power contained in the Innate Dragon Meat made Zhou Leng practice for four hours, drenched in sweat before he rested.

Glancing around, there were no new Golden Pages.

The third Chapter of the Ten Reversed Beast Fist was crucial, still waiting for Huang to return.

In his free time, Zhou Leng took out the demonized watch and began writing a long procurement list.

Equipment for making medicinal meals or pill refinement,

Grandmaster-level cultivation equipment.

Young magical beasts.

And Bone Forging Stage pills.

There was only one type of Bone Forging Stage pill.

The Bone Forging Pill, which comes in white and red.

Taking the white pill damages the bones, while the red pill heals them.

One set of Bone Forging Pills costs 3 million, a hundred sets would be 300 million.

However, the necessary quantity of Bone Forging Pills varies from person to person.

The stronger the bones, the more Bone Forging Pills needed.

Especially for those with a Body of Wonders, they often require two to three hundred pills to complete Bone Forging.

Zhou Leng thought for a bit, and quietly wrote "X300" on the list, thought again, and changed 3 to 4.

After listing the items, he roughly calculated, and Zhou Leng fell silent.

9.8 billion.

This didn’t even include those good demonized equipment.

"I’ll reconsider, and gather more money."

Just as he was pondering the harvest, familiar footsteps were heard.

Zhou Leng turned his head and saw Huang running eagerly with his tongue out, looking mischievous, finally leaping like a small cannonball, knocking Zhou Leng over.

"Take it easy..." Zhou Leng said with a wry smile.

Huang didn’t care, sticking out his big tongue and licking furiously, covering Zhou Leng’s face in saliva.

"Alright, alright..." Zhou Leng hugged Huang, shook his head, and True Qi shook off the saliva.

Huang laughed heartily, his eyes narrowed to slits, panting heavily.

"You’ve gotten stronger." Zhou Leng reached out to pinch Huang’s muscles.

Huang shook his head in panic.

No, I haven’t.

"How’s the battle in the Fierce Beast World been?"

Huang nodded repeatedly.

"Was it fun?"

Continues nodding.

"I’ve been waiting for you for many days." Zhou Leng’s face darkened.

Huang’s smile disappeared, he lowered his head, glancing up at Zhou Leng cautiously.

Zhou Leng reached out, vigorously rubbing Huang’s face.

Only then did Huang return to his cheerful expression.

Then, Zhou Leng gave Huang a knowing look.

Huang tilted his head thinking for quite a while, then jumped away, wagging his tail like an iron chain, lowering his head, sniffing here and there.

As Zhou Leng looked closely at Huang, he found he had grown to the size of a tiger.

Add some black stripes on him, and he’d frighten people to death if let loose.

Huang walked for a while, then began digging with his front paws, soon returning with a new Golden Page.

The seventh one.

Zhou Leng thanked Huang and Elder Tree, then carefully read it.

As before, the front was Divine Text, the back was a translation.

The most important part was the translation of Ten Reversed Beast Fist’s third Chapter, "Crouching Serpent Chapter".

The Establishing Image training method comprehensively enhances move power, the Flying Whale training method enhances move explosiveness, and the Crouching Serpent training method focuses on accumulating power, which, combined with the Flying Whale method, unleashes even more terrifying force.

Especially those ferocious moves that require time to accumulate can potentially double their power.

The power of high-realm moves doubling can determine victory or defeat, life or death.

In addition to the Crouching Serpent Chapter, it also recorded some events.

Including divine descents.
