Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Psychic Serpent?
Thoughts coursed through Yan Liqiang’s mind. He then discovered that he had never even heard of that na in both lifetis.
“I nad it the Psychic Serpent. This serpent doesn’t exist in many worlds and is an extrely rare creature on the Silver Continent that you live in. It still exists and probably has never been discovered by anyone to date. That’s why you’ve never heard of the na...” Fu Guang’s voice appeared directly in Yan Liqiang’s mind.
“No one has ever seen it?”
“That should be the case since this serpent has a special characteristic — it has to live inside another living creature’s body and coexist with it!”
“Coexist? You an it’s parasitic?”
“Parasitism is one-sided while coexisting is mutually beneficial. If you can provide it with sothing, it will reciprocate. Symbiosis is very common among living creatures. The difference between the Psychic Serpent and them is that the forr chooses to coexist inside the latter!”
“Oh..!” Yan Liqiang was surprised. “Then which part of the host does it live inside?”
“The brain!”
“Can this kind of serpent live inside such a delicate part of the body like the brain? Won’t it be detrintal to the host?”
“You will know when you see the Psychic Serpent. It is much smaller than you think. Although it lives in the host’s brain, it only attaches itself to the outermost part of the brain instead of going into the organ. Hence, it won’t affect normal brain functions or thinking processes. In fact, you won’t even sense its existence even if it enters your brain!”
“What does it feed on? I hope it’s not the brain!” Yan Liqiang felt a chill roll down his spine at the very thought.
“Of course not. It feeds on your thoughts!”
“Thoughts?”
“To put it in words that you understand, that would be the energy from your consciousness and emotion — the vibes that you give off when you are happy or sad. Just like your body temperature that will never drop to zero unless you are dead, your thoughts and emotions are also never-ending. Even so, you cannot feel its existence. The Psychic Serpent feeds on a small amount of energy from these thoughts and emotions in you. Even if it doesn’t consu any, it will also naturally dissipate like heat or your breath...”
“There’s actually a creature that eats sothing like this?!”
“The world is full of wonders. Your past knowledge will not help much in understanding the true face of this world!”
“This Psychic Serpent can actually leech off... no, I an, coexist in my brain. Not only that, it feeds on my thoughts and brings benefits. I recall you ntioned that this serpent can help see and perceive any type of danger. How does that work?” Yan Liqiang gave Fu Guang in the crystal ball a puzzled look.
“To put it simply, you’ll be able to receive the brainwaves of others who are standing at a certain distance in front of you if you let the Psychic Serpent live in your brain. In your language, that ans the Psychic Serpent will give you the ability to peer into and perceive other people’s thoughts!”
“Is this the so-called telepathy?” Yan Liqiang nearly exclaid.
“That’s right!”
Despite being in the Heavenly Realm, Yan Liqiang was still stunned for a mont when he heard about the abilities of the Psychic Serpent. “Wait... Let repeat this. So you are saying that if I activate the Psychic Serpent’s seal of life to create and host it, I will be able to read other people’s thoughts, thus gaining the legendary telepathic ability? And even if this Psychic Serpent were to live inside my body, I won’t be affected physically or ntally?”
“Precisely. You may consider if you want to activate the Psychic Serpent’s seal of life and allow it to live within you...”
“I have a question. If I wish to stop living with it one day, can I take it out of my brain again?”
“Yes, of course. Just make the command with your thought and it will leave. At the sa ti, you will also lose the abilities that it brings you. Be mindful of the fact that you must find another host for it within a day after it leaves your brain. Otherwise, it will die...”
“Will I be receiving endless thoughts and information from people around after it resides in my brain? If I will be listening to a bunch of voices in my head all the ti without being able to tune them out? I’m afraid I’ll go crazy in the long run...”
“That’s not how it works. If the Psychic Serpent resides in you, you can choose the target you want to spy on. It’s very easy to control. You will know by then. Aside from people, you can also read the thoughts of animals if you wish to...”
Yan Liqiang finally let out a sigh of relief at Fu Guang’s words. All the worries and doubts in his heart imdiately vanished. If this Psychic Serpent was so impressive that coexisting with it would an obtaining the power of telepathy, it would be akin to seeing other players’ cards in a poker ga. Then why not?
“Alright then. I shall activate the Psychic Serpent’s seal of life!”
“Understood, but there’s still another problem...” A smile appeared on Fu Guang’s face.
“What problem?”
“The dantian energy you have infused into the Heavenly Stone is still not enough to activate that seal of life!”
“No way! Didn’t you tell that the dantian energy in the Heavenly Stone is enough to activate fifteen human seals of life?”
“The Psychic Serpent is an extrely special spiritual being. Hence, a colossal amount of dantian energy is required to activate its seal of life. Apart from that, you will also need a bountiful amount of vitality and intelligence points, of which you are still slightly lacking...”
“Then tell how much more I need. Don’t tell I’ll need to keep this up for another decade or two before I can gather enough. If that’s the case, I’d rather pick sothing else!”
“You’re almost there. The amount of the three energies you’ve gathered is actually quite close. If you still needed a lot, I wouldn’t have recomnded the Psychic Serpent in the first place. Based on your cultivation rate, you should be able to gather enough dantian energy in seven to ten days if you don’t slack off. As for the vitality and intelligence points, you still need 518 and 877 points respectively...”
Yan Liqiang was truly shocked. “So the twenty thousand vitality and intelligence points that I’ve accumulated in the Heavenly Stone is still not enough? An ordinary human only cost a hundred points for both. Even for Goldie, I was only willing to assign fifty points for both. You’re telling that the Psychic Serpent needs more than twenty thousand points?”
“If you desire to obtain an extraordinary being, you will naturally need to make an equivalent investnt. After all, you can’t possibly build a city with just a tael of silver. You are free to choose another seal of life if you wish...”
“Nonsense. You’ve already shown the Psychic Serpent. Do you think I can still sleep if I don’t get my hands on it?” Yan Liqiang clenched his teeth. “Let find a way. At worst, I can always get rid of a few pieces of trash...”
“Sure, the decision is yours to make!”
Fu Guang’s face slowly faded from the crystal ball. At the sa ti, Yan Liqiang also retracted his palm from the Heavenly Stone...
He lingered around the Heavenly Shrine for a while. Staring at the glowing Heavenly Stone, his resolve gradually strengthened to the point that it was unshakable. He then glanced at the entrance to the Heavenly Realm before he plunged headfirst through it...
