The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 255 - 148: GuaGua Ascends, Third-grade Lotus Platform!_2

These three parties are now known as Red Frog Kingdom, Blue Frog Kingdom, and Grass Frog Kingdom.

"The Black Snake Sect, huh..."

Ye Hanjun roughly knew the origin of this secret base now.

Emperor Tang launched a sweep towards the end of his reign, slaying demons and eliminating evil with strong might.

Although his painstaking efforts ended up being in vain.

But this ’Black Snake Sect’ was thus annihilated.

This must have been a formidable dark organization, usually involved in dirty work like assassinations, requiring the collection of intelligence from all sides.

With the death of the sect leader and the protectors, the remaining sect members naturally couldn’t amount to anything.

However, a son of one of the protectors survived, concealed his identity, and fled all over the place.

After a lot of ups and downs, it seemed that he had fled to the vicinity of... Chaos Burial Mountain?

Ye Hanjun saw some manuscripts, which contained some messy notes in them.

The owner of this base, due to the death of his forefathers, went through a painful dark period, being desolate and directionless.

He harboured hatred towards Emperor Tang, and even after his children split the dynasty, his hatred did not diminish in the slightest.

But unknowingly he reached middle age, tried many times, and realized that he was powerless to restore the Black Snake Sect, he gradually accepted his mediocrity and incompetence.

Later, he married several wives, built a small village by the mountainside and river, started farming and hunting, and lived an ordinary life as a patron, until his death.

"So that’s how it was..."

Piecing together the clues, Ye Hanjun suddenly realized.

So this "Qin Fang" was the one who founded Chaos Burial Village.

This was a piece of buried history, and had it not been for coming here by accident, probably no one would know this story.

Ye Hanjun took out the worn jade card from his Dimensional Space Bag.

Then he picked up another jade card of the same size from the table, but in the center was a carved black snakehead, and made a simple comparison.

Sure enough, this jade card was once something like a symbol of the Black Snake Sect.

Qin Fang had erased the insignia and then taken it as an ordinary jade card, using it for communication among the villagers...

Gently shifting his gaze, Ye Hanjun walked towards the innermost room of the base.

The scroll mentioned that when the Black Snake Sect was wiped out, the main assets went into the national treasury.

Having fled here, Qin Fang’s remaining funds were all left to his wife and children to expand and develop the village.

But there was one important thing, part of the heritage of the Black Snake Sect.

"Boom!"

Huazhu violently broke the iron door on the inside.

The room was empty, and in this nearly 100 square meter area, there was only a metal table.

On the table was a special crystal instrument, about a person high, with the jet-black liquid inside still as dead water, motionless.

"Yiye?"

The floating little tadpole looked curiously at it.

The crystal device was spherical, the black liquid that should have filled it had evaporated to almost one-tenth, and the remaining amount was very small.

There was also an elliptic egg lying honestly inside.

Black patterns all over it looked like a child’s doodling, giving it an abstract visual experience.

"A little tricky..."

Ye Hanjun looked around carefully, analyzed meticulously, with a slight frowning of his brow.

This egg had a unique meaning for the Black Snake Sect.

It was an offspring of the Patron’s contracted spirit from the Black Snake Sect — the Human-faced Demon Snake.

This snake was cruel, murderous, and was not a wild beast or a demon beast, but a branch of demon beast from the dungeon spirits.

"It hasn’t rotten for over two hundred years and still retains vitality..."

"But clearly, its development has encountered some problems, otherwise it should have hatched long ago..."

Ye Hanjun pondered carefully, undecided.

There are two ways to deal with this snake egg.

First, try to hatch it.

This solution costs materials and energy, the blending of auxiliary spiritual materials, subsequent care, not only requires a large amount of Spirit Stones, but also a lot of energy.

But the benefit is that as long as the Human-Faced Demon Snake can be hatched, this demon beast that is an Innate Jade Infant Fetus will become his most powerful adjunctive force at this stage.

Second, eat it.

Certainly, the egg of the Human-Faced Demon Snake wouldn’t taste good and might even have some side effects on normal fond spirits.

But this kind of liquid from the spirit egg of a Jade Infant Fetus, which is Innate already, possesses incomparably huge life energy.

Huazhu, Mo, Ghost-Faced Moth, Pink Ostrich, armored horse... even Muscle Zombie could potentially absorb and refine it.

With such tremendous benefits, those negative effects can be entirely tolerated.

"YiyeYiye~~~"

GuaGua circled around the crystal instrument, seemingly very interested in the liquid inside.

Ye Hanjun had a thought.

This was the Spiritual Liquid used to nourish the snake egg.

Although it was of the Dark Attribute, the little tadpole always liked purity, and the specifics of the element did not matter.

"Crack——"

He took out his long unused Blood-Sucking Dagger and made a hole in it.

The little tadpole cheered and dived in.

It swam and swam in the vast instrument, and soon began to gulp down water.

The tadpole, just a few centimeters in size, swallowed up all the remaining Spiritual Liquid and got a bloated belly, becoming as round as a ball.

"Yiye...burp!"

The little tadpole burped and looked at its fattened self in a daze.

Its cries became weaker and weaker because its eyelids drooped uncontrollably and it fell into slumber.

"Dhu-ss-xhu"

"Dhu-ss-xhu"

A white jade-colored glow erupted from the body of the little tadpole, like a flickering breathing lamp, rhythmically fluctuating in brightness.

"Is it about to ascend?"

Ye Hanjun rubbed his hands, and ripples arose in his calm heart.
