Stronger from Earth

Wang Xuan waved his sleeve, and the surrounding mountains began to undulate and change, as if they had come to life.

A palace a hundred meters high rose from the ground, with pavilions and towers arranged around it, exquisitely painted with dragons and phoenixes.

With another flick of his finger, a variety of spirit fruits and meats favored by the Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline appeared out of thin air, created by extracting Source Power.

Wang Xuan sat at the back, his expression kind and his tone gentle: "Sit down."

The Heaven-Swallowing Python coiled its body nervously, glanced at the table out of the corner of its eye, and then lowered its head to the master.

"Tiantian, all these years you have never transformed, in pursuit of the Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline, right?" Wang Xuan asked.

The disciple said embarrassedly: "Disciple is a bit stubborn, afraid of forgetting my original intention after transforming."

The human world is too prosperous; it has seen many demons who’ve transformed to play among humans, although their mental state has somewhat evolved, but most are still blinded by the mundane world.

In the Era of Mythology, opportunities abound, requiring quick action, not to mention its Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline has no road to transformation, necessitating self-restraint.

"Disciple vowed to be wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation and swore not to transform unless achieving the Divine Beast bloodline."

The Heaven-Swallowing Python’s resolve is firm, knowing what it wants and persisting relentlessly.

Wang Xuan nodded: "Since you are under my tutelage, as your master, I naturally will plan for you."

"I have Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline, Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline, and even other Divine Beast bloodlines. Have you confirmed your bloodline direction?"

Upon hearing the master’s words, the Heaven-Swallowing Python said without hesitation: "Disciple is willing to follow the path of the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python."

Born with a trace of Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline, it has been striving for this all its life, and the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline is the origin of the Heaven-Swallowing Python.

If there is a choice, it naturally wants to awaken the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline, and compete with True Dragon, Phoenix, and other Divine Beast bloodlines in the future.

Wang Xuan did not nod but said: "Tiantian, you have a better choice, but the road is more difficult."

Then he told the Heaven-Swallowing Python the route of bloodline fusion: "Master uses Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline as the main, supplemented by True Dragon bloodline and Mortal Giant Python bloodline to merge into a variant Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline."

"This variant bloodline not only compensates for the shortcomings of Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python’s strength and size but also enhances its growth speed and limit."

Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python’s strengths lie in technique and divine powers, while True Dragon excels in power, defense, and vitality; Mortal Giant Python grows by devouring all things, so its size and growth speed are top among Divine Beasts.

The Heaven-Swallowing Python hesitated upon hearing the master’s words, inwardly more affirmed with the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing bloodline.

But it trusts the master’s vision and confidence, since the master says this route is better, then it must be more suited for itself.

Moreover, the variant Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline is still Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python.

After much deliberation, the Heaven-Swallowing Python said: "Disciple follows master’s arrangement."

In Earth Civilization, the relationship between master and disciple is sometimes no less than that of father and son, especially among cultivators.

Since the master hopes it chooses the path of the variant Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, then there must be preparation, it will not be disappointed.

Wang Xuan nodded, in fact, if this third disciple chose the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline, it would be more straightforward, just help awaken the bloodline, provide resources and guidance.

Whereas the variant Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline requires him to expend more effort to sort out the fusion of bloodline structure, filling in the pitfalls during its growth process.

For it, the awakening and cultivation process will be more difficult and dangerous.

Of course, the benefits are also obvious.

The strength and potential of the variant Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline are stronger than the normal Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python by a margin.

As long as it doesn’t suffer premature demise, there is a considerable chance that this third disciple will step into the Immortal Domain.

Of course, this is likely a matter of a century later, becoming an Immortal is not an easy task.

Once the cultivation path is confirmed, Wang Xuan didn’t hesitate, three complex and mysterious bloodline runes appeared, representing the Divine Beast bloodline runes of Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, True Dragon, and Mortal Giant Python.

Under the suppression of the Creation Rules, the three runes began to decompose, converge, and merge, subsequently forming a brand new rune.

The whole process left this third disciple stunned, the power contained within those three Divine Beast bloodline runes was already astonishing, akin to dormant giant beasts.

The rule rune suspended above, unknown what existence it belonged to, further suppressed the entire space, like a continent pressing overhead.

During the fusion of the three Divine Beast bloodline runes, the space shattered countless times, even creating a void area.

Here it was like a terrifying black hole, pulling everything around, attempting to swallow any material and energy that approached.

Tiantian had a premonition; if his master didn’t control everything, preventing energy fluctuations from leaking, it would likely devour everything within a thousand miles.

Including itself, countless creatures would perish unnaturally.

Throughout the process, the master remained calm and composed, at this moment Tiantian had a clearer understanding of the master’s strength.

Powerful!

Absolutely a Void Cultivator!

Until the fusion neared its end, the shattered space gradually restored, the terrifying feeling it brought to Tiantian dissipated entirely.

Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, then curiously stared at the miraculous rune filled with mystery and power, a boundless treasure to it.

Wang Xuan pointed his finger, a large amount of Qi of Creation fused into Tiantian’s body, the rune of the variant Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline immediately merged into the third disciple’s flesh.

For a moment, Tiantian felt an endless surge of power unleashing, it was awakening the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline, while merging this Divine Beast bloodline rune.

Mysterious Qi of Creation, the bloodline rune like a Divine Treasure, instantly engulfed its Heart Spirit.

Its aura continuously surged, its strength rising step by step, heading straight for the peak of the Grotto Void.

Upon reaching the limit of the Grotto Void Realm, as the Qi of Creation and bloodline rune were refined, Tiantian’s cultivation realm instead continued to decline.

Like a heavy ingot of steel pressing on soft wood, squeezing out all moisture and space.

Late Grotto Void, Middle Grotto Void, Early Grotto Void.

Completely refining the Qi of Creation and bloodline rune, Tiantian nearly fell out of the Grotto Void Realm, yet despite the decline in its cultivation realm, its aura surged significantly, surpassing its previous tenfold!

This indicates its potential and strength in the same realm has risen considerably!

Opening its eyes, Tiantian first cleared the blood mud off its body, then felt the changes throughout.

Surging and overwhelming power surged within its body, that body sweeping everything, Vajra Indestructible defense, like a mountain and sea-like Life Force all made it immerse within.

Even more enthralling was the awakened bloodline power and fused bloodline rune, the fundamental future transformation and power inheritance.

If it mobilizes bloodline power, its combat power could increase severalfold, capable of exerting multiple divine techniques and secret techniques.

At this moment, Tiantian understood what the variant Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline truly was, definitely a top-notch variant bloodline in the world, possessing unimaginable strength and potential.

Simultaneously, its respect and admiration for the master reached a new pinnacle.

Such powerful bloodline power actually originated from the master’s hand, indicating the master fully mastered this power.

At this moment, the master’s figure was like a Divine Mountain impossibly high to reach.

Similarly, Tiantian’s feelings of gratitude overflowed, both the acquisition of the variant Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline and its current transformation are due to the master’s assistance and gifts.

"Master’s kindness weighs as heavily as Mount Tai, disciple will not forget in this lifetime." Tiantian bowed three times firmly.

Wang Xuan lightly smiled: "Calling ourselves master and disciple, this is the bond between master and disciple, no need for too much gratitude."

"By the way, do you have a surname?"

This third disciple, previously known as Heaven-Swallowing Python, now called Tiantian, but seemingly without a surname.

"Disciple has no surname, I ask master to grant me one." Tiantian said expectantly.

Wang Xuan said: "Master’s surname is Wang, if you don’t mind, then follow master with the surname Wang, from now on you’ll be called Wang Tiantian."

Wang Tiantian was overjoyed, it could feel that the master truly regarded it as family.

"Disciple Wang Tiantian, thanks master for granting the surname." Wang Tiantian chuckled foolishly.

Wang Xuan handed the third disciple a booklet of secret techniques for transformation, saying: "Your physique is special, this is a transformation secret technique specifically created for you, take it and use it."

Ordinary transformation secret techniques cause transformation not to be freewheeling, and the human form reduces strength.

But the unique secret technique transforms into a human form with hardly any flaws, perfectly transferring its original power, without affecting cultivation speed.
