Snake Immortal: The Tale of a Snake’s Cultivation to Immortality Chapter 736 - 685: Shrouded in mist

Xu Hei remained expressionless, but inside, a storm was raging.

After saying this, Zhao Nanqi seed to lose all his strength, slumping down, even contemplating the fate that might befall him.

Xu Hei knew so much now, he might just eliminate him.

But regardless, Zhao Nanqi could only gamble.

If his soul were to be searched, he would be utterly dood, all his secrets exposed, and his soul would be scattered. Whether Xu Hei succeeded or not, he was a dead man.

Xu Hei looked at him calmly, his eyes betraying no emotion, and coldly said, "Is that all?"

He seed unsatisfied.

Zhao Nanqi panicked and spoke again, "On Moon Star, I caught the scent of your dicine slave and used the Soul Lock Tracing Technique to follow it all the way to the far northern abyss of Moon Star..."

He detailed the pursuit of Jiang Nine Phoenix.

He extracted Jiang Nine Phoenix's bloodline aura from the spirit dicine and pursued it on Divine Continent Star for years without any clues, almost giving up.

But unexpectedly, on Moon Star, he captured a trace of the aura, leading him to the far northern abyss, where he found Jiang Nine Phoenix in front of Guanghan Palace.

"When I found that woman, she was trying her best to open Guanghan Palace."

"I acted imdiately, took her key, and intended to capture her too, but who knew, she used so divine ability and vanished into Guanghan Palace."

Zhao Nanqi said in a fluster.

Xu Hei listened, still expressionless, lost in thought.

He pondered how much truth there was in Zhao Nanqi's words.

The fact that Zhao Nanqi could discover Guanghan Palace was already incredible, explaining his reasoning.

But Jiang Nine Phoenix, a weak girl at the Elental Infant stage, sealed by Tu Sen, how did she get to Moon Star?

How did she discover Guanghan Palace and even have a key?

She couldn't have done it alone; there must have been external assistance, at least at the Divine Transformation level.

"Are you lying to ?" Xu Hei frowned.

"Absolutely not! If I'm lying, may heaven strike with lightning, and may I be utterly destroyed!" Zhao Nanqi hurriedly said.

Xu Hei was silent for a mont, then said, "You've told all this, and now you're worthless. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Zhao Nanqi replied, "I've left many restrictions near Guanghan Palace. Without my guidance, it would be hard for you to find the exact location. Moreover, that Jiang clan woman revealed many secrets about Guanghan Palace to ."

Xu Hei squinted his eyes and asked, "What secrets?"

Zhao Nanqi's eyes showed a struggle, then he looked pained and said, "These secrets are only known to my external incarnation. I need to go to Moon Star to retrieve the incarnation to know."

Xu Hei said nothing, just quietly watched him, his gaze growing colder.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I swear I'm not lying! The incarnation and the main body's mories are not connected. I left the incarnation as a precaution. Fellow Daoist Xu, you must believe !"

Seeing the situation turning against him, Zhao Nanqi beca extrely anxious and quickly defended himself.

Xu Hei didn't speak. He stared at Zhao Nanqi for a long ti before suddenly summoning the Demon God Cauldron, unleashing its devouring power, and sucked Zhao Nanqi into it.

"Ah!!"

A piercing scream ca from within the Demon God Cauldron.

Xu Hei increased the power, the devouring force growing stronger, refining Zhao Nanqi's primordial spirit alive.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I've told you everything, please don't kill , stop!"

"I am willing to serve you as my master, to be your servant for eternity!"

"I also have a set of insect cultivation techniques, three complentary divine abilities, and a soul-tracing divine ability, all of which I can give you. Don't you want to maximize the power of the insects?"

Zhao Nanqi's screams grew weaker, but Xu Hei ignored them, continuing to refine and extract Zhao Nanqi's primordial spirit power.

Suddenly, Zhao Nanqi's primordial spirit turned crimson, emitting a wailing ghost-like scream.

"Xu Hei, I was lying to you before. If you dare to go to Guanghan Palace, you will surely die!"

As the scream ended, Zhao Nanqi's primordial spirit suddenly expanded and then exploded.

"Suppress!"

Xu Hei uttered a low command, and the Demon God Cauldron flipped over, suppressing the violent force and absorbing it completely.

Zhao Nanqi's self-destruction had no effect, his primordial spirit shattered, dissipating into smoke, leaving only a chaotic mix of primordial spirit power gathered inside.

Xu Hei remained cautious.

He continued refining for two more days until all the aura inside dissipated, then he relaxed.

Keeping this person had so value, including the insect cultivation divine ability and the soul-tracing divine ability Zhao Nanqi ntioned, which Xu Hei was very interested in.

Xu Hei was also curious about the secrets of Guanghan Palace.

But killing this person also had its benefits.

—Using his primordial spirit power to heal Bai Zhi.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Hei could find spirit dicine to slowly heal Bai Zhi, but with the Seven Stars Alignnt, danger could strike at any mont. He had to maximize his combat power, always at his peak, to face any enemies.

Bai Zhi was the best support!

Moreover, Zhao Nanqi's words had too many questionable points.

Why would Jiang Nine Phoenix reveal the secrets of Guanghan Palace to him? Even if she did, why was he unaware, leaving only his external incarnation to know?

This person was likely already out of his mind, frightened by Xu Hei into speaking nonsense, trying to muddle through.

Xu Hei didn't want to waste ti scheming with such a treacherous person, so he killed him to end it.

Xu Hei released the unconscious Bai Zhi, then poured out the primordial spirit power from the Demon God Cauldron.

"Refining this person's primordial spirit can help you recover from your injuries," Xu Hei said calmly.

Although Bai Zhi was unconscious, she could sense the changes in the outside world and imdiately opened her mouth wide, swallowing the mass of primordial spirit power.

Xu Hei didn't have the insect control technique, so he could only control Bai Zhi to indirectly control the Spirit-Eating Ants.

Additionally, inside the Spirit Beast Ring, Ji Ying had already devoured the Divine Transformation corpse and was in the refining state.

Xu Hei took out Ji Ying and then infused a drop of ancient emperor's blood into Ji Ying's body.

Ji Ying's body trembled, and the surrounding spiritual qi gathered, forming a storm with faint thunderous sounds.

If this still couldn't achieve Divine Transformation, it would be utterly worthless, with no further cultivation value.

"Mo Wuyou probably never imagined that the Corpse Beetle would have a chance to achieve Divine Transformation," Xu Hei thought to himself.

Of course, Xu Hei was also ntally prepared for Ji Ying's failure. Achieving Divine Transformation was incredibly difficult, not sothing that could be achieved with resources alone; it required talent, bloodline, comprehension, and luck, all indispensable.

Next, Xu Hei relayed the information that Guanghan Palace might be in the far north of Moon Star to Daoist Sparrow.

Night Owl and Qin Xuanji imdiately set off to investigate.
