Two months passed in the blink of an eye during cultivation.
On this day, the Nine-Headed Golden Lion approached Qin Han Chu:
“Master, the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python is due to arrive today!”
“I have already prepared the immortal fruits and immortal brew. You may wait within the immortal brew.”
Qin Han Chu nodded. “Proceed according to plan.”
By this time, the Nine-Headed Golden Lion had transformed into human form.
In its immortal beast form, it possessed nine heads, but in human form, it had only one.
“Understood,” the Nine-Headed Golden Lion nodded.
About an hour later, a man clad in a black robe descended.
His eyes glowed with a faint green light; this was the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python.
“Sky-Swallowing Beast God, it has been a long time,” the Nine-Headed Golden Lion greeted with a smile.
“Indeed, it has been a long time. I didn’t expect you to remember to invite me for a delicious meal,” the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python said, a chilling smile gracing its lips.
“It’s mainly because I require your assistance with something.”
“Let’s go inside and chat leisurely.”
At the invitation of the Nine-Headed Golden Lion, the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python entered the cave dwelling.
Although the Nine-Headed Golden Lion was an immortal beast, its cave dwelling also had stone tables and stools.
Immortal fruits and wine cups were already laid out on the stone table.
After taking a seat, the Nine-Headed Golden Lion poured a cup of wine for the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python. “I killed a human Immortal Saint some time ago. This wine was obtained from him. Let’s have a taste.”
“Where is the Blackwater Qilin? Is the main course not ready yet?” the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python asked.
“The main course is not served at the very beginning of the feast. Do you think I would lie to you?” the Nine-Headed Golden Lion replied.
The Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python picked up its wine cup. “You mentioned earlier that you needed my help. What is it about?”
“Let’s finish this cup and then we can discuss further,” the Nine-Headed Golden Lion raised its cup and drained it in one gulp.
The Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python was not afraid of the Nine-Headed Golden Lion poisoning the wine.
It was the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python, after all. There were few poisons that could affect it.
With a tilt of its head, it poured the wine into its mouth.
“Speak, what is it?” the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python asked.
“I have a question for you,” the Nine-Headed Golden Lion said.
“Go on.”
“If your life and death were controlled by a human, and this human wanted you to submit, what would you choose?”
“Why is that even a question? I would rather die than yield!”
“We are distinguished immortal beasts of the Immortal God realm. How could we submit to despicable humans!”
“Why are you asking such a question?”
The Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python was perplexed. It began to feel that the Nine-Headed Golden Lion was acting strangely.
The Nine-Headed Golden Lion sighed. “We have endured tens of thousands of years of trials to reach our current level. It would be a great pity to be killed just like this. As long as the other party does not treat us as slaves, submission is also a viable option.”
Hearing this, the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python became somewhat enraged. “Golden Lion Beast God, what exactly do you mean? Have you already submitted to humans?”
The Nine-Headed Golden Lion no longer concealed its intentions and nodded. “I hope you will make the same choice as me, otherwise, your ten thousand years of arduous cultivation will turn to dust! Even your true form will become resources for human cultivation.”
*Bang!*
The Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python slammed its palm on the table, shattering the stone table. “Where is your master? Do you intend to help him kill me!”
“My master is within your sea of consciousness. If you refuse, what awaits you is the complete annihilation of your soul!”
The Nine-Headed Golden Lion had already received a telepathic message from Qin Han Chu.
Just as the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python was about to swallow the wine, Qin Han Chu unleashed the Void Law.
The Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python did not expect Qin Han Chu to be hidden in the wine and was therefore unguarded.
The Nine-Headed Golden Lion’s answer filled the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python with shock.
Its immortal infant’s eyes opened, and it saw Qin Han Chu activating the Suanni Immortal Bone.
“You… how did you enter my sea of consciousness so silently?”
The Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python was immensely shocked. It had not sensed anything at all.
The other party was merely an Immortal Saint. How did it enter its body?
And moreover, how did it enter its sea of consciousness so stealthily?
“The Void Law, you should be familiar with it.”
Qin Han Chu did not hide anything. He needed the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python to understand his potential, so it would not feel too wronged or resist as much.
“You possess a Supreme Law!”
“No, you are only an Immortal Saint.”
“With the strength of my laws, I could completely expel you from the void.”
“You…”
Qin Han Chu smiled. “I transformed into water and hid within the wine. You were the one who sent me into your body.”
The Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python finally understood everything.
No wonder the Nine-Headed Golden Lion wanted it to drink the wine; it was a trap set in collusion with Qin Han Chu!
“Humans are truly despicable!” the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python berated angrily.
“There’s no need for such talk. You have five minutes to consider.”
“If you are willing to submit, hand over your soul blood.”
“If you refuse, what awaits you is the scattering of your soul.”
“You should know very well that if your immortal infant is destroyed, you will lose the qualification for reincarnation.”
“I admire your strength. As long as you are willing to submit, I can give you a promise.”
“Once I reach the Immortal God realm, I will return your freedom.”
“I am now at the late stage of Immortal Saint, not far from the Immortal God realm.”
“At most, in a thousand years, you will regain your freedom.”
The Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python was different from the Nine-Headed Golden Lion.
The Nine-Headed Golden Lion was cowardly and afraid of death, so Qin Han Chu didn’t need to negotiate with it.
However, the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python’s personality was much more resolute. If Qin Han Chu didn’t offer it some hope, it might retaliate fiercely even in its final moments.
While killing the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python would yield significant benefits, Qin Han Chu valued its strength more.
Qin Han Chu’s words caused the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python to fall silent!
It clearly understood its predicament.
If it refused Qin Han Chu, it was doomed to die.
Although it could abandon its physical body, the Nine-Headed Golden Lion was guarding its physical form.
Therefore, it had no way to escape.
Submission was indeed shameful, but at least there was a possibility of regaining its freedom.
Despite its claims of preferring death over surrender, with a chance for a way out, it could not bring itself to fight to the death.
“How can I trust you?” the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python glared at Qin Han Chu and asked.
“We can sign a Dao Oath contract. As long as I reach the Immortal God realm, I will return your soul blood.”
Once Qin Han Chu reached the Immortal God realm, he would possess the ability to protect himself.
Even without the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python’s help, his life would not be in danger.
“Sign the contract first, and then I will give you my soul blood,” the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python pondered for a long time before finally choosing to compromise.
Upon hearing this, Qin Han Chu immediately drafted a Dao Oath contract.
The Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python signed the contract after confirming there were no issues.
Following this, the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python handed over its soul blood to Qin Han Chu.
After refining its soul blood, Qin Han Chu finally left the Sky-Swallowing Blazing Python’s sea of consciousness.
Having dealt with two Immortal Gods, he felt it was time to continue.
There were nine Immortal God ancient remnants in the Samsara Sea. Except for the Phoenix’s special constitution, the others had a chance to be subdued by Qin Han Chu.
If he unified the Samsara Sea, wouldn’t all the life and death immortal treasures here become his?
