Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 635 - 634: Netherworld Blood Python【Eleventh Update】
"What treasure could be hidden inside this third stone platform?"
Xiao Yi suppressed the curiosity in his heart, forcing himself to calm down, and began to try and unravel the third chess puzzle.
This puzzle was hundreds of times more difficult than the previous two.
Even with the chess inheritance he received from Jin Wuheng, Xiao was clueless. After all, Jin Wuheng's forte among the Four Talents was literature, not chess.
Given the dead end in the chess approach,
Xiao chose to decipher the chess formation on the stone platform from the perspective of formations. After two full hours of deduction, Xiao finally solved the third chess puzzle.
Boom!
The stone platform suddenly shook violently and sank into the ground.
Beams of light burst forth from below the ground.
They illuminated the entire Treasure Pavilion.
The light was brilliant, blindingly so.
This drew envious gazes from Ji Luanyue and others who were waiting in the plaza, "With such a commotion, it must be an extraordinary treasure that has been unearthed. Alas, such treasures are beyond our reach now!"
"If the treasure is gone, then it's gone. The most important thing is to save our own lives!"
"Right, that Xiao's Doomed Kingdom is too terrifying!"
"Xiao's Doomed Kingdom?"
"Isn't that right? Whoever provokes him gets their family exterminated… look, the Sha Family provoked him and got exterminated, the Li Family did too, and then Three Blade Mountain... exterminated."
"Now that you mention it, it really does seem logical!"
Yet, these people were unaware.
Before that, some had called Xiao Yi the harbinger of Xiao's Doomed Kingdom!
......
Inside the Treasure Pavilion.
In the midst of the dazzling column of light, a small cauldron slowly emerged.
"Is this the Longevity Cauldron?"
Xiao Yi looked astonishedly at the small cauldron in front of him.
It was identical to the Longevity Cauldron he had obtained on Beast Emperor Island, except this one bore the character 'Heaven,' clearly one of the nine Longevity Cauldrons, the Heaven Character Cauldron!
At that moment,
around the Heaven Character Longevity Cauldron, a small blood-red snake was coiled in slumber.
The blood-red snake remained deep in sleep.
Until the light faded, it slowly awoke, its puzzled gaze sweeping the surroundings. It sniffed around Xiao Yi, then expressed delight, flicking its tongue eagerly as it crawled onto Xiao Yi's arm.
The Longevity Cauldron, too, fell into his hands.
Xiao Yi looked at the blood-red snake on his palm and curiously asked, "Little fellow, are you the Heaven Character Longevity Beast?"
Hiss!
The snake stood up its upper body and nodded at Xiao Yi, its form flickering between ethereal and tangible, not a true body, but a spirit entity. Xiao Yi frowned and said, "Where is your physical body?"
The snake tilted its head, a look of loss in its eyes.
Right at that moment...

Little Lin's voice came through, "Boss, what treasure did you find that caused such a big commotion?"
Xiao Yi startled and realized he was the only one who had entered, expressing his confusion, "Where are the others?"
Little Lin replied, "Yue and Mr. Huang said that it is not appropriate for them to know about the treasures you found, so they are waiting outside." After pausing for a moment, he noticed the blood-red snake on Xiao Yi's arm, and his pupils suddenly shrank, "Boss, where, where did you find this thing?"
Xiao Yi was taken aback, "You recognize it?"
Gurgle!
Little Lin's eyes were filled with fervent passion as he nodded, "This is the legendary Netherworld Blood Python. It's said that it has the ability to traverse the Yin and Yang realms... Huh? That's not right, this is just a spirit entity? Where is its real body?"
Xiao Yi shrugged, "It seems its body is gone… Little Lin, can you communicate with it?"
Little Lin nodded, "Of course I can!"
Little Lin approached the Netherworld Blood Python, and the two snakes hissed at each other, engaging in conversation.
As he communicated with the Netherworld Blood Python, shock appeared on Little Lin's face. He looked strangely at Xiao Yi, "Boss, you really are a chosen one, to encounter such good fortune!"
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yi looked at Little Lin with puzzlement.
Little Lin pointed to the Longevity Cauldron in his hand, saying, "The Netherworld Blood Python says this is one of the nine cauldrons of the Hall of Longevity, the Heaven Character Longevity Cauldron. After Zhao Wuji scattered the Hall of Longevity during the Ancient Times, the hall vanished into the void, and its pieces fell to the world."
"I know that part!"
Xiao Yi said, "The Longevity Cauldron is indeed mystical. The 'Mysterious' Character Longevity Cauldron can speed up the refinement of various elixirs and treasures, and it has helped me a lot!"
Little Lin took a deep breath and spoke gravely, "Boss, do you know the true function of the Longevity Cauldrons?"
Xiao Yi shook his head.
Little Lin inhaled deeply once more, his expression complex, "Then do you know how one enters the Longevity Secret Realm from the Nirvana Realm?"
"Isn't it by obtaining the spirit of longevity? You mean…" Xiao Yi looked astonishedly at the Longevity Cauldron in his hand.
Little Lin nodded and stated deliberately, "The greatest function of the Longevity Nine Cauldrons is to nurture the spirit of longevity."
Hisss!
Xiao Yi sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.
Nurture the spirit of longevity?
Why was the Nantian Dynasty able to control so many subordinate dynasties?
The main reason was that they held the lifeline of those dynasties, ensuring that their strongest warriors were only at the Nine Nirvana Reincarnation Realm and that none possessed masters from the Longevity Secret Realm.
To Xiao Yi's knowledge...
The Nantian Holy Land, behind the Nantian Dynasty, kept control over the spirit of longevity, and any strong practitioner of the Nine Nirvana Reincarnation Realm taken by the Nantian Dynasty's Inspectorate would be sent to the Nantian Holy Land.
Only by performing exceptionally well in the Nantian Holy Land could one receive the endowment of the spirit of longevity.
And now he had actually obtained a Longevity Cauldron that could nurture the spirit of longevity?
Then what was the damn point of the Nantian Holy Land to him?
Couldn't he manufacture the masters from the Longevity Secret Realm in batches from now on?
Little Lin seemed to see through Xiao Yi's thoughts and said with a wry smile, "Boss, nurturing the spirit of longevity isn't that easy. According to the Netherworld Blood Python, there are three conditions for nurturing the spirit of longevity: The first is to have at least one Longevity Cauldron; the second requires the assistance of a Longevity Beast; and the third is to invest a sufficient amount of treasures and spirit veins into the Longevity Cauldron!"
Xiao Yi's excitement gradually calmed down within him.
Three conditions.
For the first condition, he completely qualified; he had two Longevity Cauldrons on hand!
The second condition seemed to be a bit of a pitfall.
The Longevity Beast of the Heaven Character Longevity Cauldron had already been refined into Beast Emperor Island, and its soul had been extinguished by Xiao Yi. Moreover, this Netherworld Blood Python was merely a spiritual body and couldn't help him nurture the spirit of longevity.
As for the third condition, that was to find resources and treasures!
That could eventually be satisfied with some effort and time.
It meant that to nurture the spirit of longevity, he must find a Longevity Beast.
While Xiao Yi was troubled...
The Netherworld Blood Python hissed a few times, and Little Lin frowned at it, "Are you sure you want to do this? Alright, I'll ask the Boss for you..."
Little Lin turned to Xiao Yi, "Boss, the Netherworld Blood Python says it can possess my body, letting me have the power of a Longevity Beast. But in return, you must promise to help it reconstruct its body if the opportunity arises in the future!"
"Reconstruct its body?"
Xiao Yi was startled. Reconstructing the body of a Longevity Beast would not be easy, and so he asked, "Ask him what needs to be done to reconstruct his body?"
After asking, Little Lin said, "First, we need a complete corpse of at least a ninth-rank mythical beast; second, we need to refine the tenth-grade elixir, Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir. With both in hand, it will be possible to help him reconstruct his body!"
A tenth-grade Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir?
A complete corpse of at least a ninth-rank mythical beast.
Xiao Yi furrowed his brow in thought. As long as he could step into the Longevity Secret Realm, these things wouldn't be a big problem. With this in mind, Xiao Yi said, "Tell him, I agree to this deal!"
Little Lin conveyed the message to the Netherworld Blood Python, which spat out a blood bead.
Little Lin said, "Boss, this is a Blood Oath Bead, which serves as a contract for the deal between you two. Just merge it with your blood, and it's done!"
"Alright!"
Xiao Yi, having no intentions of reneging, squeezed out a drop of fresh blood and the blood bead merged back into the Netherworld Blood Python's body. It nodded, transformed into a red light, and burrowed into Little Lin's body, causing Little Lin to tremble all over.
Roar!
Little Lin let out a series of pained roars as scales with gold color mixed with dots of red lines grew on his body, and a small horn slowly protruded from his forehead. His cultivation also advanced further, stepping directly into the high tier of the seventh rank.
With his current strength, even if he faced experts on the Earth Tiger Ranking, he would be able to put up a fight!
Xiao Yi handed over the 'Dragon and Snake Nine Transformations' Cultivation Technique to Little Lin, "See if you can cultivate this technique?"
"Dragon and Snake Nine Transformations? Boss, this is practically tailor-made for me, hahaha…" Little Lin laughed excitedly.
Xiao Yi gave him a look and said, "List all the materials needed to nurture the spirit of longevity for me later. It just so happens I've earned a good amount of sea crystals recently, so I can start collecting some at the Riotous Sea domain!"
"Okay!"
Little Lin nodded.
And then...
Xiao Yi and Little Lin left the Treasure Pavilion.
Huang Feihu approached with a smile, "Xiao Yi, congratulations!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Huang, you flatter me!"
Xiao Yi waved his hand and then said, "Mr. Huang, since this place is almost emptied, we should also head back. May I borrow your esteemed place for some time to go into seclusion? Also, I need to find some things; rest assured, I won't have you exert effort for nothing, and I'll pay every penny that's due!"
"No problem!"
Huang Feihu, who was thinking of getting closer to Xiao Yi, naturally couldn't ask for more, "Then let's head back right away!"
The group promptly left the Star Pavilion.
Along the way, they picked up Ying and headed towards the Huang Family's residence.
However...
Xiao Yi could never have imagined that this trip to the Huang Family would cause him to encounter an incredibly troublesome person...
PS: Haha, I saw that many brothers were guessing what the third stone platform's treasure was, with some guessing it was the spirit of longevity. I guess that's half right! Xiao Yi laughs boldly: Getting the spirit of longevity counts for what? I can break the monopoly of the holy lands and create my own spirit of longevity...
