After a long while, Medusa slowly opened her beautiful eyes, still unsatisfied. Her light purple pupils were slightly dazed, and a faint smile played on her lips.
Her smooth jade hand supported her fragrant cheek, her slender and supple waist exuding an indescribable grace. The luxurious garments and ornaments she wore accentuated her noble bearing, while her black hair, cascading like a waterfall, added a touch of languid charm and allure.
Still lost in her thoughts, Medusa's gaze appeared dreamy.
Although the Devouring Reincarnation Grand Technique contained no instructions for fusing the souls within her body, its cultivation speed was astonishing beyond imagination, and the effect of its reincarnation cycle was even more terrifying.
After a period of cultivation, following a brief silence, both strength and potential would soar rapidly.
This was not merely a technique that aided Dou Qi cultivation — it continuously pushed the boundaries of her physical potential. It was impossible to judge it using the ordinary ranks of cultivation techniques found on the Dou Qi Continent.
Not far from the bed, Xiao Yan stood with his hands folded before him, smiling slightly."Judging by your expression, you seem to have grasped the essence of the Devouring Reincarnation Grand Technique. That puts me at ease."
For Medusa to comprehend the basics of such a technique in such a short time — her perception truly surpassed that of any person he had ever met.
"You seem to be leaving?" Medusa's expression tightened. "You still have unfinished matters."
"I just broke through to the Dou Zong realm; I need time to stabilize my cultivation." Xiao Yan casually made up an excuse. In truth, he was unsure how long it would take for the transformation of the Green Lotus Creation Codex to complete.
Medusa's cheeks flushed slightly — who would break through at such a time?
"I haven't forgotten what I promised you." Seeing the blush spread across Medusa's alluring face, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.
That alternating heat and chill, the endless folds and powerful suction — it was truly something he had never experienced before.
"Hm?" Medusa gave him a suspicious look. "Weren't you going to cultivate? Don't tell me you're planning to…"
She was all too familiar with someone's previous 'habits.' Who knew which bed he'd end up 'cultivating' on this time?Although she had only met Yun Yun once and never truly cared about her, Medusa did not deny that if Yun Yun were to dress up properly, she would indeed be a rare beauty.
Xiao Yan stepped lightly on the ground, his body leaping upward gracefully — like an arrow loosed from a bowstring, he shot toward the opening below. His figure traced a beautiful arc in the air, descending with such speed it dazzled the eyes, a testament to his profound strength and unwavering resolve.
When serious, Xiao Yan was highly focused. For a moment, he did not even register what Medusa had said. "What do you mean, 'again'?"
After a simple question, he continued calmly:"You've seen the environment beneath the Tagore Desert with your own eyes. If that endless magma isn't dealt with, no matter how good our methods, the effect will be greatly reduced."
"You're going to that place to cultivate?" Medusa guessed. Xiao Yan's ability to devour single-attribute energy was simply terrifying — if he were to enter that magma sea, she wouldn't even be surprised if it turned into a glacier afterward.
Xiao Yan nodded. That sea of magma was indeed perfect for him. The growth of the Green Lotus Core Flame's roots would also accelerate alongside his cultivation.
As for the strange plants that had altered the Tagore Desert's environment, he had some new ideas.
Although the Blue Ice Blazing Flame Tree was good, an area could not thrive on trees alone — the weaker serpentfolk still needed food to eat.
Shaking away his stray thoughts, Xiao Yan's gaze focused on Medusa's voluptuous and graceful figure."Cultivate the technique I gave you diligently. When I finish my seclusion, I'll teach you some suitable battle skills."
As he spoke, space power quietly rippled around Xiao Yan. The surrounding air was pulled by an invisible force, distorting slightly.
Moments later, Xiao Yan's tall, black-robed figure was enveloped by the power of space and vanished from sight, leaving behind only faint ripples in the air.
"That kind of battle skill — who needs to be taught that?" Medusa murmured toward the spot where Xiao Yan had disappeared.
The once lively, fragrant palace fell into silence, so still that a pin drop could be heard. Medusa lowered her violet eyes slightly."I wonder when that fellow will return?"
Outside the serpentfolk royal city, Xiao Yan tapped the beast ring on his hand.
A dazzling purple light burst forth into the sky. The enormous form of the Amethyst Winged Lion King soared from the ring, its increasingly powerful body exuding pride and majesty.
Standing atop the lion's back, Xiao Yan pointed in a direction. The Amethyst Winged Lion King beat its vast purple wings, spitting out bursts of purple flame like a living flamethrower.
With a resonant buzz, the purple fire erupted — and man and beast transformed into a streak of violet light, shooting across the sky like a meteor.
In a short time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King carried Xiao Yan to the site of the massive pit that Queen Medusa had once emerged from.
After several days, however, the giant hole was already buried beneath layers of sand.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted softly, exhaling a stream of purple heat. The thick sand melted away instantly, revealing the gaping black entrance below.
"Lion King, this is far enough." Xiao Yan said calmly as he looked down.
Even without descending, his exceptional spiritual sense already detected the rich, fiery energy surging from within the pit.
Especially now — the fire attribute energy within the Tagore Desert's atmosphere had diminished, making the energy seeping from this hole all the more prominent.
With a light push of his foot, Xiao Yan leapt into the air — like an arrow leaving the string — plunging swiftly into the dark depths below.
Watching Xiao Yan vanish into the shadows, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's massive body shimmered with purple light, transforming in an instant into a purple-robed middle-aged man.
As his form shifted to human, the purple glow gathered rapidly behind him, forming a pair of wings made entirely of purple fire — far denser than those of an ordinary Dou Huang.
Once the wings solidified, Zi Yan immediately followed after him.
Although he could take human form, his strength had not yet reached the true seventh rank — it was only through a special cultivation technique that he could transform, thus he could not yet fly freely through the skies as Xiao Yan could.
Even though he had only been here once before, Xiao Yan still remembered clearly the location where the Green Lotus Core Flame grew.
With his increased strength, it took him only about the time of a meal to reach that special cyan-lit world hidden within the magma.
"The cultivation of the Green Lotus Creation Codex begins now."
Within the world illuminated by the cyan glow, Xiao Yan chose a spot, sat cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.
After resting for a while, though her body still ached with exhaustion, Medusa supported herself and decided to bathe — washing away the strange scents and traces left upon her body.
"Xiao Yan, this Queen will be waiting for you among the serpentfolk."
Her jade-like foot brushed across the surface of the water as she murmured softly.
