Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 756: Unexpected Twist

The three of us headed to the upper floors, going by them individually.

From the lowest, the open plain and the four biomes around it, to the second where all the knowledge that the Lording Sun had collected through his life.

The Blue Sun was interested in the library as it held some tomes even though she didn't read, but she only requested to study in here if allowed, which was quite respectful even to someone far lower in cultivation level to her.

Tao Yang also was interested in knowledge of other worlds than her and asked me via Divine Sense to study here when she had the time. To which I simply agreed, there is no point or value to hoarding knowledge, it must be shared freely among everyone.

Reluctantly, they left the library and went into the third floor, the blast furnace that the Blue Sun had seen before and the smithy was only the smaller part of a whole. As this entire space was hosting hundreds upon hundreds of working benches and furnaces powered by the core of a star.

The natural heat generated from such cores is enough to help smelt and create materials for thousands of years.

"Quite an enormous workshop," the Blue Sun said, "This is on par if not bigger than my own station.

"I guess the Lord of Lords put a lot of effort and resource into this pagoda if it is comparable to yours," I said.

"Oh, it's not because he is a savant in the art of craftsmanship," the Blue Sun said as she was gazing at the entire workshop.

"But because he is filthy rich, he is the oldest of us all after all," she said.

'That makes sense, if he is the oldest he used his age and ability to hoard and obtain many things and then stuffed them into this pagoda. Well, it's all great I guess. After all, It's all mine now,"

The next floor was the White Space. Where I usually test out my weapons and do all sorts of alchemy and surgeries I need.

But there was one thing I didn't finalize yet.

Once I entered the White Space with the two of them, they both had a shocked realization.

The Blue Sun's energy began rippling so did Tao Yang.

"Hold the heck on!" I said. "This is not what it looks like!" I said.

"What do you mean? It's a Silver Rakshasa! I thought you already killed it!" Tao Yang said.

"Well… there were two of them, I only captured one in front of you all, the second had been immediately transported here after it was captured," I said.

And like they said, yes it was a Silver Rakshasa, fully sealed up and chained up.

"What did you do to it?" Tao Yang asked, "For it to be this… calm," she added.

"Oh, yeah, well, you see the chains all over its body?" I asked.

"Yes, I do," she said.

"Those are made from condensed Neutron Star Dust," I said.

"And what is that?" she asked.

"That is what remains after a sun fully burns out and then shrinks, a teaspoon of that stuff can weigh several tons. I got it and condensed it into a bracelet that it is wearing. Then added weight-increasing inscriptions. Not only that, I also placed a different bracelet on its neck that will always tamper with its own internal abilities, disabling its stealth and invisibility.

Now it is barely fast enough to compare itself to a void stage cultivator."

"And why are you doing all this instead of just killing this risk?" the Blue Sun said.

She was right, this was a risky thing to have here, but, "Training," I said.

"Are you thinking of taking it head-on? Using it as a punching bag? The cultivation difference is too vast," the Blue Sun said.

"Once and when they get here, that won't be a luxury that we will all have. If I familiarize myself with how they move, how they attack and defend, and how they retreat, I'll have at least the ability to escape, if not to win against them."

Tao Yang frowned but didn't argue anymore and only said, "Are you fully capable of containing it?" she asked.

"I have the Automaton keep an eye on it, if something goes wrong, he can immediately transport it to the heart of the Burning Star Core, it won't survive a second in it," I said.

"Well, tread carefully is all I can say, and if you want to fight it and train against it, at least let me know so nothing can go wrong," Tao Yang said, "It would be horrible to have you die here after all the work you did to help me out."

"Don't worry, I'll notify you," I said, "Now let's go to the next floor," I said.

"There is more?" the Blue Sun asked.

"Oh yes, a few more floors that aren't yet opened but this one is the most important floor of them all, I said as I went to the floor where the Primordial Serpent God's corpse was stored.

The door to this floor was pretty normal, not longer than two meters by two, but it peered into an incredibly vast space.

From where we stood, we looked no bigger than specs of dust comparable to the vastness of space itself.

And in front of us, a few million miles away you could see the massive creature that hung motionless in space. Continue your adventure at m|v-l'e -.com

"Oh… this is what the Dusking Sun was talking about," the Blue Sun said.

"What is that? That looks frightening…" Tao Yang said.

"You probably don't know what that is, it is a creature of the Beyond," the Blue Sun explained. "There are a dozen or so of them, they lived here in the beyond for only heavens know, even the Lording Sun who is the oldest of us all, came after them. We assume that they are all the first of their kin."

"It's quite impressive that they lived that long," I said.

"Why do you say that, it's only normal, they're blessed with immortality," the Blue Sun said.

"Emm, what?"

"What? You didn't know?" she said frowning.

"That thing is clearly dead, how is it blessed with immortality?" I asked.

"Ah, I see, you consumed its blood and stopped its heart, did it never occur to you why these things although at the stage of Void Shattering Stage are still alive and roaming about and a lot of cultivators know about them? It is because even if they are killed, they will always come back. Either reincarnate or from their own corpse, look," she said as she pointed a finger forward.

A small bit of origin Qi shot forward and landed right between the Primordial Serpent God's brows.

"It only failed to resurrect due to the extreme lack of Origin Qi inside the Pagoda. Which by the way is a great blessing to you. The Lording Sun must have realized that and allowed you to store it here so it wouldn't come back and break anything inside the pagoda.

Soon, the corpse of the Primordial Serpent god began shrinking and shrinking until I could no longer see it.

But the soul-shaking and shivering pressure of the Primordial Serpent God slowly began creeping up on me. I could feel the shivers and hair all over my body slowly rise up, from the soles of my feet to the back of my neck.

It actually was resurrecting.

And not only that, it was coming at us at incredible speed.

The Blue Sun stood up in front of me and grabbed something in her hand. It was the Primordial Serpent God, only this time it was as small as a young grass snake. It had a feisty behavior as it tried to bite at the Blue Sun's smooth skin.

However, its fangs couldn't even bend the Blue Sun's skin and struggled against it.

"Quite an interesting change," I said. The Serpent noticed me and tried to take a bite at me, but the Blue Sun stopped it immediately."

"This small thing, don't underestimate it," she said. "The bite force in this Serpent is enough to rip through your body. It would rip through it like a hot knife through butter, also she is mad at you," the Blue Sun said.

"I can see that, and I'm not blaming it, after all, I killed it," I said.

"Not for that, she knows the circle of life and death," the Blue Sun said.

"Then why is she pissed?" I asked.

"Well, apparently from how you killed the poor thing. You actually sucked every bit of golden blood in her body and now you're using it as replacement of your blood. You pierced into her heart and she couldn't shake you off, it was quite an unpleasant experience," she said.

I didn't really want to comment how the Blue Sun was able to speak 'snake' but I guess that really does fit what I did.

"I mean…"

"No need to explain much, I can mediate between you two," the Blue Sun said, "Also this might be both your fortune," she said as she grabbed the snake in a more gentle manner on top of her palm and said.

"Vow to serve and protect, and he'll give you some of your blood back, if both of you cultivate together you may be able to reach your next stage of cultivation level," the Blue Sun said.

The serpent hissed at me.

It was still pissed, I couldn't blame it…

After it flicked its tongue at the Blue Sun for a few more time, the Blue Sun smiled and said, "She'll agree under one condition," the Blue Sun said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"You must marry the serpent…" the Blue Sun said.

"Huh?"
