Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 515 - 512: Jade Talisman Remains, A Day Trip to the Unending Spring
Chapter 515 -512: Jade Talisman Remains, A Day Trip to the Unending Spring
For the multitude of venomous snakes, the place they had arrived at indeed felt novel to them.
It was a place filled with blooms and brocades, surrounded by clear mountains and beautiful waters, with greenery flowing endlessly, and vegetation lush—scenery picturesque, charged with enchanting and beautiful sights everywhere. These snakes, living perennially in icy tundra, having scarcely seen a shade of green, had never witnessed such beauty!
For a moment, they believed they had reached the mythical realm of Asgard, as proclaimed in legends.
However, before these venomous snakes had time to fully examine their surroundings, an overpowering Principle descended from the heavens, settling upon them, penetrating the deepest recesses of their bodies and Divine Souls, leaving behind Prohibition brands, from which they could only submit henceforth.
The ordinary snakes stood no chance of resisting and were directly refined by the Demon Refining Pot into Spiritual Beasts of the Pot World. The only semblance of resistance came from one particularly large snake.
The venomous snakes from the Mist Country mainly cultivated two Laws: the Poison Dao Principle and the Cold Ice Principle.
In order to gnaw at the World Tree Root, their venom evolved to become increasingly potent through a lengthy breeding process, and living in the frigid lands also made them well-adapted to the Cold Ice Principle. Thus, upon reaching a certain level of power, they typically cultivated these two Principles.
Beyond these, other Laws such as Wind Element, Water Element, Dark, and so on were also part of the cultivation system of the Evil Dragon and the venomous snakes.
The snake that Qin Feng had taken into the Demon Refining Pot was adept in both the Poison Dao and Water Element Laws, capable of merging these two power attributes to cast Poison Water Magic. Its might was formidable indeed; if by chance an ordinary opponent took it lightly, thinking it only proficient in Water Element Techniques, they could be fatally blindsided by its lethal poison.
The great snake struggled desperately, unleashing all the Principle Power within its body, attempting to break free from this world.
Regrettably, it lacked strength and couldn’t even escape the Mountain and River Map space, let alone free itself from the Demon Refining Pot.
Especially now that Qin Feng had completely refined the Demon Refining Pot, gaining full control over its myriad Prohibitions. Under his command, the deadly giant snake could not endure for even half a quarter of an hour before it was refined by the Demon Refining Pot.
Qin Feng sent these snake demons to the ninth layer of the Mountain and River Map, mainly because the other levels were not suitable for these venomous snakes to live.
Whether it was the second layer’s Void Shattering Hammer Cave Mansion, the third layer’s Light Domain, or the fourth layer’s Ten Thousand Crows Pot, the fifth layer’s Pure Yang Treasure Wheel, or the sixth layer’s Netherworld Treasure Pearl, the power attributes within these spaces were unsuitable for the venomous snakes of the Mist Country to dwell in, and Qin Feng had no particular plan to create a dedicated Cold Ice Cave Heaven for them.
After all, the Spiritual Beasts under his command did not primarily cultivate the Cold Ice Principle. Even the Ruyi Golden Snake could now expel breath that froze all things solid, but that was merely a supplementary technique for it.
Therefore, Qin Feng could only send them to reside within the ninth layer space, for within the Mountain and River Map spaces, there were mountain peaks constantly covered with snow that could serve as a habitat for these venomous snakes.
However, that would be a matter for later. Before the newly resigned giant snake had a chance to fully take in its surroundings, Qin Feng summoned it back out.
Along with it, the other ordinary venomous snakes were also called forth.
Qin Feng did not waste time. He directly took out three Imprint Talismans and handed them to the giant snake and the other two ordinary snakes.
Although the Imprint Jade Talisman was a treasure of the Cultivation World, it was not difficult to use. After all, these snakes possessed Spiritual Intelligence and considerable strength. After Qin Feng had taught them several times over, they learned how to use it.
After some practice and feeling it was adequate, Qin Feng let them swallow the jade talismans, specifically instructing them to not let the intense poison within their bodies corrode them. Otherwise, with the powerful toxicity and stomach acid within these creatures, they risked being digested into nothingness unless they used their power to protect the talismans actively.
Heeding Qin Feng’s advice, the few venomous snakes quickly departed from there, heading towards the deepest depths of the Mist Country.
The Mist Country was vast, and even though these snakes were familiar with the terrain and moved with uncanny speed atop the snow, it took them more than a dozen days to reach the core region of the Mist Country.
And Qin Feng, like a shadow following form, utilized his Shadow Transformation Divine Power to hide within the shadows of these snakes.
Unlike Li Miao Zhen, who had earned the favor of the Valkyrie and was bestowed the privilege to roam freely through the Divine Country, Qin Feng couldn’t transform into an Evil Dragon or Snake Demon, nor did he possess recognition of his identity from the Evil Dragons or venomous snakes, leaving him no choice but to lurk in the dark.
He actually did not wish to delve too deeply into the Mist Country. To travel further towards the central region meant greater danger.
Especially since the Ancestor of Evil Dragon, Nidhogg, still dwelt in the Unending Spring, he was indeed an entity so powerful that Qin Feng could scarcely fathom. He dared not imagine the consequences of coming too close.
Perhaps the other party would not even consider such a weak existence like him. After all, not only was he weak, but his size was also significantly less than that of an Evil Dragon or venomous snake. In the eyes of that Ancestor of Evil Dragon, he might be no different from an ant.
But if the other party took him seriously, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, Qin Feng’s visit was fraught with trepidation.
Yet, he could not afford not to come.
Because the Spiritual Beasts subdued by the Demon Refining Pot would all be subject to its constraints, and with Qin Feng’s insufficient Cultivation, these Spiritual Beasts could not stray further than three thousand li from the Demon Refining Pot. Otherwise, the Prohibition would trigger and they would certainly be exposed.
If Qin Feng’s strength became formidable in the future, or if he ascended to Becoming an Immortal, raising his control over the Demon Refining Pot to the next level, then he could allow these Spiritual Beasts to stray tens of thousands of li away. But for now, he was incapable of this.
However, with three thousand li to maneuver, he could avoid heading to the Unending Spring himself, and that in itself was not too bad.
Although a distance of three thousand li was negligible for an entity of the Ancestor of Evil Dragon’s realm, just a casual glance would reveal everything; the other would certainly not bestow undue attention on Qin Feng.
Ever since the epochs long past, when the King of All Gods, Odin, personally came to the Mist Country to engage in battle with Nidhogg and concluded that it was impossible to slay the Evil Dragon or to restrain it from damaging the World Tree Root, he chose to compromise. He even deliberately cast evil souls into the Unending Spring, hoping to slow down the Evil Dragon’s gnawing at the World Tree Root and prolong the arrival of the Twilight of the Gods.
Since even the King of All Gods had compromised, naturally no other divine spirit dared to come here seeking trouble with the evil dragons, so there had been peace for countless years. Without any danger approaching, the evil dragons gradually lost their vigilance.
Approaching the area near the Unending Spring, there were often more and more powerful evil dragons and poisonous snakes flying in the sky, and a considerable number of poisonous snakes were frequently roaming on the ground. They either came to feed or dragged away the roots of the World Tree, clearly intending to nurture their offspring with these items.
However, none of the evil dragons or poisonous snakes paid much attention to the new snakes that had arrived, and naturally, they did not notice Qin Feng’s presence.
When the great snake told Qin Feng that they were now less than three thousand miles away from the Unending Spring, Qin Feng immediately stopped in his tracks, not daring to proceed any further.
He left two poisonous snakes behind, instructing them to find a cave nearby to serve as a temporary habitat. Then, Qin Feng transformed into their shadow, remaining quietly in the cave, carefully concealing his breath.
The great snake took the other snakes to the Unending Spring.
Along the way, they would intermittently open their mouths wide and stick out their tongues, making a hissing noise.
This was a behavior common to all snake species, so it did not attract the attention of other poisonous snakes and evil dragons, but they did not know that within the mouths of the great snake and the other two, there hid an Imprint Talisman.
Every time they opened their mouths, they captured the scene ahead in the Jade Talisman. Although they were careful to quickly shut their mouths after each opening to avoid being noticed by some powerful entities, they still captured the figures of many formidable evil dragons and poisonous snakes within the talisman.
As they advanced, a giant pillar that propped up the heavens gradually appeared in the distant sky.
This massive pillar stretched from heaven to earth, leaving all who saw it feeling immense awe.
However, for the evil dragons and poisonous snakes who often saw it and even fed on it, its existence was familiar.
Yes, this was the main root of the World Tree that supported three worlds.
The great snake continued to push forward with its offspring. As their strength was not outstanding among their kin, merely average, they had no right to enter the Unending Spring.
That place was where the Ancestor of Evil Dragon, Nidhogg, and those powerful evil dragons and poisonous snakes gnawed at the World Tree. Ordinary offspring dared not enter that realm.
Even if they managed to enter, they wouldn’t be able to gnaw through the World Tree’s main root.
Ordinary poisonous snakes like them could only gnaw on the root tendrils that branched out from the core near the Unending Spring.
Those tendrils varied in size; the largest were hundreds of feet in circumference, and even the smallest were as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
Perhaps in response to the gnawing of the evil dragons and poisonous snakes, the World Tree itself was also slowly evolving, becoming tougher than before. Even the speed of its growth and recovery increased, with some thin tendrils regenerating in the very day they were chewed off.
It was a pity that this Divine Tree had no spiritual intelligence, so it could only passively evolve, unable to keep up with the reproduction rate of the evil dragons and poisonous snakes. The destruction of its roots grew more extensive, and it was only a matter of time before the roots were completely severed by the dragons and snakes, cutting off the connection with the Unending Spring.
The great snake led its offspring to a tendril as thick as a bowl and spewed poison onto it, eagerly gnawing at it. However, during its feasting, it occasionally turned its head around, particularly in the direction of the Unending Spring’s main root.
Even in order to gather more images in the Imprint Jade Talisman, before looking for the tender root, they had already circled the Unending Spring. After taking nearly a day to finally gnaw through the root, they circled the spring from another direction. Only then did they drag the root back the way they came.
This was the method Qin Feng had taught them. Even to avoid exposing their tracks, Qin Feng had them rehearse before setting out. The result seemed decent at present; although their acting was a bit exaggerated and the frequent wide-mouthed yawns seemed a bit foolish, they did not attract the attention of other beings.

A distance of three thousand miles was still too far for Qin Feng, preventing him from seeing the Unending Spring and the World Tree’s roots through the eyes of these snakes. However, even if he could see, he might not dare to look; after all, if his gaze was caught by some powerful evil dragon, it would be a disaster.
When the great snake and the other snakes returned, Qin Feng did not hesitate to leave the area.
He did not even retrieve the Imprint Jade Talisman from the snakes. After running wildly for three days and nights, and once he was more than a hundred thousand miles away from the Unending Spring, Qin Feng stopped. He took out the Imprint Jade Talisman, glanced at it briefly, then without looking further, stored it in the Demon Refining Pot.
Some powerful beings could inexplicably sense the act of capturing images, so Qin Feng naturally did not dare to look more. He feared that noticing such formidable entities might elicit a response from them.
For security, he placed the Imprint Jade Talisman into the Demon Refining Pot, ensuring the layers of space would prevent his location from being tracked.
After completing these precautions, they continued on their journey with no incidents. They traveled until they reached the border of the Undead Realm without encountering any problems, and only then did Qin Feng truly relax.
After running non-stop for so many days, both Qin Feng and the poisonous snakes were exhausted.
Qin Feng, constantly using his Shadow Transformation Divine Power, had not drained his dense True Yuan thanks to his accumulation and the continuous supply of Pure Spirit Power from the Demon Refining Pot. Yet maintaining such a spell for a long time was still tedious.
The ordinary poisonous snakes, maintaining a high-speed movement, were equally fatigued.
Without stopping, Qin Feng commanded the great snake to lead the other snakes further ahead. He planned to collect the snakes once they entered the Undead Realm.
So, under the watchful eye of a passing evil dragon, a line of more than a dozen poisonous snakes rushed into the mist of the Undead Realm. This left the dragon puzzled—had these ordinary snakes grown tired of gnawing the World Tree’s roots and now sought a change in taste by hunting the undead?
These creatures were not strong, so brazenly entering the Undead Realm, weren’t they afraid of failing to hunt and instead being devoured by the undead as Blood Food?
Moreover, the Qi Blood Power in their bodies could easily attract many undead to join in the assault!
