However, Ge Dongxu soon shook his head and smiled wistfully.
Nowadays, the spiritual energy on Earth is so thin that even humans can hardly cultivate it successfully, let alone birds, beasts, insects, and snakes.
Ge Dongxu himself was a man of great fortune. Not only had he t a great sage, Ren Yao, in his youth, but after Ren Yao passed away, by chance, Ge ca into a significant inheritance. Moreover, he was naturally gifted and knew how to integrate modern science in search of the true path of cultivation, thus he could be considered a modern sage. He was also not lacking in wealth, which contributed to his achievents today.
What about birds, beasts, insects, and snakes? Regardless of their intelligence, just surviving under the rapid developnt and environntal destruction caused by human society today is already comndable, much less evolving into demons. The probability of that happening is far less than Ge Dongxu achieving his current success.
As for the large snake that Ge Dongxu had just encountered, although it appeared very strong, to say it had truly awakened its Spiritual Intelligence and evolved into a snake demon was much harder than Ge Dongxu breaking through to the Dragon Tiger Realm.
Thus, as Ge Dongxu pondered, he suddenly realized he was overthinking.
"However, this snake is indeed very powerful, and the other insects and venomous creatures here in the Sky Pit are also stronger and more spirited than those outside. This must be related to the Five Elent Spiritual Energy drifting in the Sky Pit. Could it be that there really are rare treasures in this stone chamber?" Ge Dongxu no longer thought about the possibility of the snake evolving into a demon, but instead mulled over the unusual characteristics of the creatures here, speculating that there might indeed be rare treasures in the stone chamber. Even though he wasn't a greedy person, he couldn't help feeling a rush of excitent.
However, Ge Dongxu quickly suppressed the excitent in his heart, trying to calm himself down.
Given the existence of such a powerful snake, it is hard to say that there aren't other powerful creatures in this Underground World.
Although Ge Dongxu had killed the large snake quite easily, that was because the snake did not know Techniques or how to fly. If it had co to a head-to-head battle, it would be difficult to say whose fate would be sealed in the deer's end.
So, even though he killed a large snake, Ge Dongxu dared not be the slightest bit careless.
Once cald down, Ge Dongxu carefully stored the Snake Gallbladder in his bag, the essence of the large snake, containing spiritual energy, now considered Spiritual dicine.
After putting the Snake Gallbladder in his bag, Ge Dongxu discarded the snake's huge body into the Underground River, binding it with vines to prevent the current from washing it away.
The water in the Underground River was chillingly cold, serving as nature's perfect refrigerator.
This snake was imnsely strong, its hide as tough as iron, and who knows how old it was. Besides the gallbladder, its flesh, tendons, bones, and hide were also excellent materials. These items were priceless, and Ge Dongxu naturally could not simply discard them.
Depositing it in the Underground River was ideal for preserving the freshness of its flesh.
As soon as the snake was placed in the Underground River, blood flowed abundantly from it, swiftly reddening the water.
When the water turned red, Ge Dongxu noticed swarms of unidentified small fish gathering around the snake.
Seeing the dense swarm of unknown small fish gathering around the snake, Ge Dongxu beca slightly worried, wondering if he should pull the snake out.
However, after observing for a while, seeing these small fish were rely attracted by the scent of blood, and as the snake's blood froze, the patch of red water followed the flow of the Underground River, dispersing the fish, he was reassured.
There were two chambers connected to the Underground River, both unfathomably deep.
Ge Dongxu pondered for a mont, deciding to explore the stone chamber where the snake had been active first.
It wasn't just that Ge Dongxu surmised that the rare treasures were very likely in that chamber, but also a familiar, intimate aura seed to emanate from that particular chamber.
He switched on the headlamp he wore and carefully entered the stone chamber along the riverbank of the Underground River.
The stone chamber was as high as five or six n, with a width of over ten ters, and stalactites that had existed for countless years hung from above.
"Drip! Drip!" Water droplets fell from the stalactites to the underground river, producing a sound that was terrifying yet incredibly crisp and pleasant in this quiet underground world.
Step by step, they cautiously walked further inside along the bank of the underground river. The deeper they went, the denser the Five Elent Spiritual Energy beca, though they hadn't encountered any dangerous creatures. Only a few small snakes, indistinguishable from the rock walls, silently crawled in the corners of the darkness.
The cave was not straight but wound its way along. Moreover, several branching tunnels had appeared along the way.
However, guided by that wisp of spirit and judging by the richness of the spiritual energy, Ge Dongxu did not need to ponder too much over which path to take.
It was like navigating an underground labyrinth, and Ge Dongxu maneuvered carefully for about twenty minutes.
The height of the stone chamber began to decrease.
Initially, it was about the height of five or six people, but later on, it shrank to the height of just one or two people.
Ge Dongxu suspected that if they continued this way, the stone chamber on the ground would disappear, leaving only the passageway of the underground river.
Ge Dongxu naturally did not want to see such a scenario occur.
Because walking in the stone chamber on the ground, Ge Dongxu could breathe freely and had space to maneuver. If any danger arose, he wouldn't fall into a perilous or dead-end situation. But if there was no passage on the ground and they could only enter the underground river, flowing with the underground river to a completely underground world, unable to breathe and with very little space to maneuver in the river, once danger t Ge Dongxu, he would have very little room to turn around.
Ge Dongxu frowned slightly, feeling sowhat disappointed and uneasy when suddenly, the river took a turn, and the view ahead unexpectedly brightened slightly.
He saw, about a hundred ters away, that the space on the ground indeed ended, leaving only the rock walls. The underground river flowed beneath the rock wall, its destination unknown.
However, about twenty or thirty ters from the rock wall, a fork branched off from the left bank of the underground river.
This fork led to a stone chamber about thirty square ters in size.
In the chamber, a mass of multicolored radiance faintly emitted light.
With invisible and very fine Five Elent Spiritual Energy seeping from that mass of radiance.
Though the seeping spiritual energy was very fine, within this nearly enclosed underground world, where countless years had accumulated, it had made the spiritual energy of the underground world much denser than the outside world, especially in the stone chamber where the mass of radiance was located.
Outside the stone chamber, a few small snakes stayed far away in a corner, their pairs of green, greedy eyes longingly gazing at the mass of radiance inside the chamber, yet they dared not approach.
This was because an imnse authority faintly emanated from that stone chamber.
All the anomalies here seed to be explained by the presence of that mass of radiance, including the existence of that powerful snake.
It was because of this world, isolated from the rest, and the uniquely rich spiritual energy.
These creatures, living here year-round, had unknowingly beco more powerful than those in the outside world and had also gained a bit more intelligence.
Of course, the snake was so powerful not only because of this unique underground world but also because of its own nature.
It was certainly an unusual snake, which was why it stood out among the creatures of this underground world.
