"What the? That came out of nowhere, also… it is a sna-"
Before I could finish my last word, the Blue Sun immediately placed her hand on my mouth stopping me from finishing it.
"Never say that she is a snake, ever again," she told me through Divine Sense. "For this type of Serpent, if she ever hears that she is a snake from you, it will halt her cultivation progress. It is like an Imugi she will go insane. For now, she is barely at the early stage of Void Stage. If she ever reaches the Heavenly Realm, she will transform to a pure fully fledged dragon." She said.
"I see," I replied, but that didn't answer my question…"
"Right, well, it was just a small play on words, it isn't a marriage, but almost similar. It is a contract between you two, if you were to share your blood with her, she would become a part of you. The two of you will be able to harness the Qi of the world, and that which you have lost will be returned to you," the Blue Sun said.
"I'm really confused, can you like… you know use words I can understand?"
"Sometimes I wonder if you are extremely smart or just playing dumb, but regardless. What you're missing in your body, is meridians that can harness the Qi of the world," the Blue Sun said.
"I don't really want to throw away my current Poison Meridians, they are what makes me who I am," I replied, "So if making a contract with her forces me to give them up, I'll just pass on it," I said.
"That's the good part, you don't have to lose out on anything," she said. "The serpant itself will be lending you her Heavenly Qi meridians, while you'll be loaning it your own meridians, you'll both be getting double the results with half the effort in cultivation.
You will no longer be stagnant and unable to proceed in cultivation due to the lack of Qi from pills and herbs and have to wait ages to obtain a resource that can boost your cultivation, you can now just simply absorb the heavenly Qi like everyone else thanks to her, and she can use poisons and pills to grow the parts she is missing," the Queen said.
"That's why you called it a marriage because it will complement one another?"
The Blue Sun hesitated for a second and said, "Eh, yeah, yes I suppose," she had a small smile on her face.
Somehow, I don't like her wording, but she doesn't harbor any ill intentions.
I thought for a second and realized that I wouldn't be losing out on anything if I were to agree.
"Sure, why not," I said.
"Good, now hand over a drop of your own blood essence to the Primordial Serpent God, and she will imitate the contract between you two."
Usually, cultivators would bite the tip of their tongue to do that, but I'm not into self-mutilation. I just pulled a small needle and drew some blood from my forearm, channeling my own Essence blood into any part of my body was not that hard and a drop is a relatively small amount.
The Serpent was calmly waiting for the drop of blood on the hand of the Blue Sun and as soon as I dripped it on top of its head, the creature began shining in a bright golden sheen. The scales on her body shivered from head to tail before she rapidly jumped up my arm and coiled around it, burning itself and itching itself into my body.
A searing painful sensation began surging up my arm all the way to my shoulder, then around my torso and down the other arm until it reached my other hand.
The pain only subsided then, and using Divine Sense, I saw a massive golden tattoo on my body, it was the depiction of the Primordial Serpent God onto my body.
"Sit down, and release the bits of Soul you have safeguarded in your Dantian, the bit that you obtained when you slew the Primordial Serpent God," the Blue Sun said.
I sat down and did as asked. The Soul of the Primordial Serpent God that I obtained back in the Vast Expanse was being safeguarded by my own Dragon Soul, and immediately as if linked and wanting to be together, the Dragon Soul dove into the massive ball of soul in my Dantian and made itself part of it.
The entire globe looked like a scaly egg that soon went up from my Dantian and out of my mouth.
The tattoo on my body shivered and soon the head of the Primordial Serpent God emerged from my left arm and gobbled up the egg, taking back what once belonged to it. The golden scales shivered once more and suddenly a swath of sensations began invading my mind.
The energy of the world, I was sensing it once again. The same way I felt when I was using Shen Mo's body, only this one was far more condensed and concentrated, enough that I felt extremely nauseous and began retching.
Throwing up bile and fluids nonstop. Cold shivers ran down my spine as I was assaulted with a swath of sensations that I had never felt using this body before.
The entirety of my cultivation was being washed and bathed by the Qi of the world affecting my senses.
I couldn't even utter a word, it wasn't painful but most extreme discomfort. My skin was shivering and shaking as it was being affected by the Qi of the world, and my eyes were zooming in and out, as they saw particles they shouldn't have seen before. My nose began smelling a new type of smell and my tongue felt like it was tasting air itself and it tasted disgusting.
My ears whistled and my mind reeled.
"You must be patient, you are like a newborn feeling its body for the first time. Only a million times more condensed and far worse, it is most nauseating and suppressive but you should remain calm and be patient, the longer you resist the better the effects you'll have.
And remember, you're not the only one sensing this, even the Primordial Serpent God is suffering the same thing," the Blue Sun said.
This was quite the agonizingly annoying feeling I was having.
But since I should resist and suffer through it, all I have to do is grit my teeth.
I could hear through muffled and overly loud noises the words of Tao Yang, "Is he going to stay like this for long? This feels rather uncomfortable."
"It is actually a miracle that this worked, to be honest. A body that never felt the Heavenly Qi of the world since it first began cultivating… it should have been impossible, but I guess the Bone and Body Grinding Poison isn't a simple thing. It had taken away all of his senses and gave him new ones. And now that his old senses are back, it is contradicting with them.
Trying to remove them, but his already powerful and rapidly regenerative body is combating that. Once this is done, he'll be able to cultivate like everyone else and still be able to use his older method of poison consumption," she said.
"Will it help him in cultivating to newer heights?" Tao Yang asked.
"Help him? Once this succeeds, even I fail to see where he can go. He has been limited by the world itself since he took his first step in cultivation. Now that he was allowed to be like everyone else, I dare not even say what his speed of cultivation would be like. Regardless, what is interesting is that the Lording Sun knew about this, and never did anything to enable it.
He had Shen Bao hide the Primordial Serpent God and never showed him how to combine both their forces…"
"You said it was for his own safety," Tao Yang asked.

"It was, but the Lording Sun should have been able to do what I just did, perhaps the Lording Sun knows something I don't, I'll have to ask him later."
Soon though, I stopped feeling incumbered and was able to slowly breath in and out. The feelings of disgust were soon removed and my body began recovering rapidly.
My regenerative abilities were able to soon takeover and remove all the discomfort from the newly acquired 'senses'.
I took a deep breath and looked at the Blue Sun saying, "This actually feels like shit," I said.
She smiled, "Congratulations on your success. Try and rotate your cultivation base," she asked.
I was already sitting in a lotus position so I only needed to close my eyes and do the same as I was doing when I was in Shen Mo's body.
Use the pores on my body as a suction mechanism to absorb the small Qi particles in the air.
And it was easy to do so, so easy that when I opened my eyes, I saw a reaction of absolute horror on the face of the Blue Sun.
"What?" I asked.
She didn't reply but pointed down.
Looking around me, where there used to be a vast open plan and field of green spiritual herbs fully fed by the Lord of Lords pagoda's almost endless Qi, there was nothing but a gigantic patch of dry grass that extended as far as the eye can see.
The Qi absorption level of my body was so astonishingly high that it dried out everything in the vicinity.
