1399 The Seven Ancestral Serpents

This was the first time Lin Mu had heard of an acquaintance of Xukong.

Lin Mu knew that Xukongs status was were high and so was his cultivation base. There werent many that could compare to him as even the Saintess was suppressed by him. Thus it only made him wonder who could the acquaintance was like.

After all, if they could be Xukongs acquaintance they would be on his level too. Or at the very least, they would be close to it.

An acquaintance of yours senior? Then are they also like you? Lin Mu questioned with great curiosity.

Mmhmm you can say that. The founder of the Serpent Moon Sect is also a beast like me just a different kind of beast. Xukong answered.

Then what about the sect? If the founder is on your level, just how strong is the sect? Lin Mu asked next.

The Serpent Moon Sect is a great power and is known in billions of worlds. They have several Celestials and the number of immortals they have are simply too many.

They also control several worlds and own them. Their own sect uses an entire planet as their base. And that is simply their main branch, they have several sub branches as well several subordinate sects. Xukong explained in detail.

Hearing all this, Lin Mu felt like his mind was being expanded.

Such a strong power and she is the Saintess of that sect? Above even the sect master? Lin Mu was stunned. But despite being that strong, she is still suppressed by Senior Xukong truly amazing. He thought in marvel.

But this was not the end of Lin Mus questions as he still had several more on his plate.

Do you know about these Seven Ancestral Serpents, Senior? Lin Mu questioned Xukong.

I do not. This is the internal information of the Serpent Moon Sect so you should just ask her instead. Xukong stated.

Alright senior. Lin Mu focused his attention on the Saintess back again.

pan,da n<0,>v,el It hadnt even been ten seconds since the Saintess had spoken, but that was more than enough for Lin Mu and Xukong to have an entire conversation.

These Seven Ancestral Serpents so the twins are part of them too? Lin Mu asked, wanting to know more.

Yes. You can say that they are the final two of the Seven Ancestral Serpents. The Saintess replied.

Then what are the other ones? Lin Mu asked with interest. Maybe I can help you? he said knowing best way to obtain more information was the expression of goodwill.

Hmmm Other than the Yin Yang Twin Serpents, there is the Three Clawed Terra Python, The Million Venom Viper, The Nine Headed Nether Serpent, The Divine Light Heaven Serpent, and finally the Eternal Dream Serpent.

These seven are our Ancestral Serpents and are sacred to us. It is our ancient goal to find all of them and is a directive that we have been pursuing for millions of years. The Saintess answered.

Hearing all the names, Lin Mu was a little lost as he knew nothing about the them. He had hoped that he might know a bit, but he knew nothing at all thus it as a little embarra.s.sing for him to offer help.

I see Im afraid I dont know about them at all. So can you tell me about the Yin Yang Serpents first? Lin Mu decided to take it one step at a time.

The Yin Yang Twin Serpents are special existences among the Seven Ancestral Serpents. To be honest I dont know why they have appeared at all. This is not the time for them to appear. The Saintess started.

They arent supposed to appear? Did they have some specific time? Lin Mu asked.

The Yin Yang Twin Serpents are said to be the final of the Seven Ancestral Serpents for a reason as they are only supposed to appear in the universe when the other five Ancestral Serpents have been born.

And Im sure that only one other Ancestral Serpent is in existence right now, the Three Clawed Terra Python which is with our sect. The Saintess explained.

There is such a thing too but since you said they are not in existence, how are they born? Lin Mu asked, wondering if they arise from other snakes too.

Their bloodline are unique and only one of each can ever be in existence. Thus for them to be born several unique conditions have to be met. For example, in the case of the Yin Yang Twin Serpents when the other five have been born it would give rise to a special resonance.

And when that happens, it will affect the entire universe. At that time if two snakes of the Yin and Yang dominion give birth, there is a very rare chance that the egg will turn into the egg of the twins.

Like you already said, the Yin Yang Twin Serpents parents were a Fire Fang Snake and a Black Water snake. One is of the Yang Dominion due to being of the fire element and the other of the Yin being water elemental. The Saintess stated, her voice getting a little light.

Lin Mu felt like she had a question for him now and antic.i.p.ated it any second now.

Which is why I ask you how you managed to do hatch them? Even if an egg was formed by some miracle, it should never have hatched. The Saintess finally questioned.

You, are right on some level. When I got the egg, it was a plain looking Grey egg. It didnt show much activity and did not hatch for many years. Lin Mu spoke. But that was until I discovered something the Grey egg could absorb Yin and Yang Qi.

And when it did that, it would grow in vitality. I could feel it developing more and more. Thus I simply sought out more source of that and fed it to the egg. Lin Mu answered keeping the effect of the Beast Qi secret for now.

Hearing this the Saintess furrowed her brows under the veil.

Were the records wrong? But how could that be Mother made them herself What could make the very principles of the Ancestral Serpents change? The Saintess was lost as well.

To her Lin Mu seemed more and more of an enigma now. He simply had too many surprising things and from what she could tell, he had not idea about the level of miracle he had done by letting the Yin Yang Twin Serpents be born.

While the Ancestral Serpents are almost equally strong, the Yin Yang Twin Serpents are still at the top among them. At least when they are fully grown for now they are still too weak. The Saintess gazed at the twins that were still in a trance.

She was brought out of her thoughts when Lin Mu spoke again.

So since you are collecting the Seven Ancestral Serpents, do you want them too? Lin Mu questioned feeling a bit heavy.

He knew if she wanted to take them away, there was nothing he could do. Even with them being tamed beast, he couldnt go against strength that was quite literally at the pinnacle of a higher world.

I do our sects directives command that the Seven Ancestral Serpents be returned to the sect. You might not know, but each of the serpents are enough to reach the peak of Celestials and even higher.

There arent many powers that know about them, but those that do know of them are old powers existing since old times. If they learn about the seven ancestral serpents reappearing, they will do everything in their power to get rid of them.

In ancient times, the Seven Ancestral Serpents had shocked the heavens and suppressed millions of worlds. The Saintess answered.

Hearing this Lin Mus heart got heavier.

It might be futile, but I cant just give them up. Lin Mu decided.

Im sorry but I cant give them to you. They are my tamed beasts and I have raised them. Lin Mu stated firmly.

He was fully expecting the Saintess to be offended, but much to his surprise she showed no reaction.

Thats the thing. You have already tamed them, which has never been done before. The bloodline of the Seven Ancestral Serpents is very domineering and no one should be able to tame them.

And yet youve done that. The Saintess spoke calmly.

Then, what are you going to do. Lin Mu asked.

I do not know how to resolve this. The Saintess shook her head. You having them will bring trouble to you as well. There will be someone that will eventually recognize them. And it will be very dangerous. She warned.

Ill deal with them when it comes to that. Lin Mu said without fear. What kind of a cultivator would I be if I cower in front of threats that havent even arrived? he stated.

I see no wonder you are worthy of his tutelage. The Saintess muttered.
