At the bottom of the Nine Serene Spring, after the remnant soul of Hai Mo Zun Zhe dissipated, the space before Mo Yu also fully vanished, revealing the ground below.
"Truly worthy of being a Ban Sheng-level expert. Even a mere trace of a remnant soul possesses such formidable strength," Mo Yu murmured, popping a healing pill into his mouth from his beast ring.
If not for the protection of the Thunder Soul earlier, he might have perished under the "Fury of the Serpent" attack.
Fortunately, the danger had passed without incident. Not only did Mo Yu fend off an attack from Hai Mo Zun Zhe, but he also successfully obtained the inheritance of the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent!
Thinking of this, Mo Yu smiled, clenching his hand as a cluster of purple-gold blood appeared in his palm.
The immense energy emanating from the blood caused the surrounding energy in the area to ripple and boil slightly.
"This is the blood essence of a Ban Sheng? Truly terrifying," Mo Yu muttered to himself, his brows furrowing as he sensed the majestic energy within the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent's blood.
For an expert at the Dou Zong level, obtaining this blood essence and retreating into seclusion for a few years would likely result in breaking through to the Dou Zun level.
Even for Mo Yu, who was already a high-level Dou Zong, this blood held significant value.
However, he shook his head. As precious as this purple-gold blood was, Mo Yu had no intention of keeping it for himself. After all, this was the hope for reviving She Lao!
With a light swipe of his finger across his beast ring, a faint, illusory soul form appeared before Mo Yu.
This soul form had its eyes tightly shut, as though it had been in a deep slumber for years. Its soul aura was so weak it resembled a flickering candle in the wind.
"She Lao..."
The soul form naturally belonged to She Lao, who had burned his bloodline power to save Mo Yu, plunging himself into a deep slumber.
This life-saving grace had always weighed heavily on Mo Yu's heart. Over the years, he had tirelessly sought the inheritance of the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent for this very moment!
With this thought in mind, Mo Yu didn't hesitate further. He controlled Hai Mo Zun Zhe's blood essence, guiding it toward She Lao's soul form.
"Buzz!"
As the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent's blood essence entered the soul form, it immediately radiated a dazzling brilliance. The once pale and translucent soul began to solidify gradually.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's face lit up with joy. The Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent's blood essence was indeed effective!
Under Mo Yu's watchful gaze, She Lao, who had been in a deep slumber, slowly began to awaken. His eyelids twitched slightly, and after a brief struggle, they gradually opened.
His murky eyes slowly focused, and his body suddenly froze. Staring at the young man before him, his body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing She Lao in this state, Mo Yu couldn't contain his emotions. Bowing deeply, he spoke with joy in his voice, "She Lao, this junior has fulfilled his mission!"
She Lao stared at the youth bowing at nearly ninety degrees before him, his eyes growing moist. In a weak but tender voice, he said, "Mo Yu, you've done well. The luckiest thing in my life was meeting a grateful and exceptionally talented junior like you."
Despite just waking up, She Lao's sharp perception remained intact. He could immediately discern Mo Yu's current strength and sense his own condition.
Mo Yu chuckled, "She Lao, you fell into slumber to save me. This was my duty. What matters most now is that you accept the inheritance of the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent!"
As he spoke, Mo Yu sent forth a thread of soul energy, which he lightly flicked toward She Lao.
"This... could it be..." Sensing the familiar and noble aura within the soul energy, She Lao's eyes revealed a trace of shock.
"This is the inheritance of the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent," Mo Yu nodded.
Mo Yu then recounted how he had sought help from Sound Valley in Central Plains, journeyed to the Southern Region, and ultimately found Hai Mo Zun Zhe on Ten Thousand Snake Island. There, he passed the Zun Zhe's trial to acquire the inheritance and blood essence.
Listening to Mo Yu's story, She Lao's astonishment deepened, and he finally sighed, "You've worked hard all these years."
"Hehe, She Lao, there's no need to be so formal. I promised long ago to find the inheritance of the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent. This was what I should have done," Mo Yu replied with a shake of his head.
Seeing Mo Yu's calm demeanor, a mix of comfort and guilt surfaced on She Lao's face.
Though Mo Yu spoke lightly of his journey, She Lao, having traveled the continent in his prime, could imagine the hardships and perils Mo Yu must have endured.
Thinking of this, She Lao extended his hand, summoning a cluster of purple-gold blood into his palm.
This was Hai Mo Zun Zhe's blood essence.
Though some of it had already been infused into She Lao's soul form, it was evident that it had yet to be fully refined.
"Mo Yu, though you speak lightly of your efforts, I know you've paid a steep price. The inheritance of the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent may not be useful to you, but the blood essence cannot be hoarded by me alone. Let's split it," She Lao said with a smile as he held the purple-gold blood.
Though the blood essence was crucial to She Lao's evolution, he was not a selfish person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sacrificed himself to save Mo Yu back then.
After witnessing Mo Yu's immense effort, She Lao was determined to repay him.
Moreover, he had noticed that Mo Yu was already a high-level Dou Zong, on the verge of breaking through to Dou Zun. Hai Mo Zun Zhe's blood essence could provide the perfect boost for this critical step.
Hearing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned but quickly shook his head. "She Lao, this blood essence is essential for your evolution into a Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent. I don't need it."
She Lao didn't argue further. With a flick of his finger, the purple-gold blood split into two beams of light—one returned to She Lao's palm, while the other shot toward Mo Yu.
After dividing it, the blood essence in She Lao's hand was reduced to a thumb-sized drop, though it still radiated immense energy.
Staring at the drop of purple-gold blood before him, Mo Yu hesitated, then looked at She Lao in surprise. "This..."
"Hehe, there's no need for courtesy between us. This portion of blood essence is more than enough for my evolution. The rest is yours. Refusing would mean disrespecting me," She Lao said, feigning sternness.
"Uh..." Mo Yu smiled wryly but had no choice but to accept She Lao's kindness.
Currently, as a high-level Dou Zong, with sufficient energy, advancing to Dou Zun wasn't an impossible feat. This half-portion of Hai Mo Zun Zhe's blood essence was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity.
The rewards this time had far exceeded his expectations.
"By the way, She Lao, Hai Mo Zun Zhe mentioned that evolving into the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent requires more than just the blood essence and soul inheritance. Two other items are indispensable," Mo Yu said.
After speaking, he retrieved a purple-gold pill beast from his robes.
"Oh? A pill beast? This must be at least an eighth-grade pill. Even at my peak, I've never seen something of this level," She Lao remarked in awe.
"Yes. Hai Mo Zun Zhe was not only a Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent but also a high-level Ban Sheng, just one step shy of becoming a Dou Sheng. Unfortunately, he fell due to unforeseen circumstances.
However, to set up this inheritance, Hai Mo Zun Zhe went to great lengths. Apart from the pill beast, there's also a weaker version of the Nine Serene Spring above. For your evolution, that's the most suitable place," Mo Yu explained.
"Hmm, the inheritance information has already been passed on to me," She Lao said, a look of emotion crossing his face as he finished absorbing the soul inheritance of Hai Mo Zun Zhe.
"Hai Mo Zun Zhe truly lived up to being the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent of ancient times. His strength was terrifying, and even at the moment of his death, he managed to set up this inheritance of the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet him."
As he said this, She Lao suddenly looked at Mo Yu and smiled. "To think you could withstand Hai Mo Zun Zhe's trial—truly surprising. It seems your growth during this time has been remarkable.
Thank you, Mo Yu."
Hearing this, Mo Yu shook his head. "She Lao, no need to be so polite. As you just said, there's no need for formalities between us.
Now that everything is ready, not only can you evolve into a Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent, but you can also be resurrected!"
"Resurrected…" Upon hearing this, a ripple of emotion finally broke through She Lao's calm demeanor, and hope filled his eyes.
Ever since he had become a soul entity, he had lost count of the countless days spent without a physical body.
Now that the moment of resurrection had arrived, even someone as renowned as She Lao in his heyday couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Hehe, She Lao, don't worry. I'll stand guard for you while you evolve," Mo Yu said with a light laugh.
"I trust you, of course." She Lao smiled slightly, then took the Beast Core from Mo Yu's hand. His soul began to rise swiftly upward.
Seeing this, Mo Yu closely followed She Lao.
After an indeterminate amount of time, with a loud splash, the two finally emerged from the Nine Serene Spring.
"So, this is the Nine Serene Spring that Hai Mo Zun Zhe stole from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan. It's indeed highly suitable for the Nine-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent." She Lao nodded as he gazed at the deep yellow lake before turning to Mo Yu.
"Next, I'll enter the Nine Serene Spring to complete my evolution. Be careful out here."
"Don't worry, She Lao," Mo Yu replied with a nod.
Patting Mo Yu on the shoulder, She Lao smiled before his soul transformed into the massive form of a Seven-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent. With a sweep of his enormous tail, he plunged into the Nine Serene Spring without a backward glance, creating towering waves.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
The moment She Lao entered the Nine Serene Spring, the lake water began to bubble and boil as if coming alive. Mo Yu could clearly feel the immense energy of the entire Nine Serene Spring stirring restlessly.
He gazed at the turbulent waters and let out a soft sigh. Then, with a flash of his figure, he appeared on a large protruding rock above the gorge and sat down cross-legged.
Taking advantage of this time, he needed to refine the Fish Spirit Fruit and the feedback energy of the Thunder Soul had absorbed earlier.
"The Fish Spirit Fruit is external, while the energy from the Thunder Soul can wait for now. I'll refine the Fish Spirit Fruit first," Mo Yu murmured to himself, his eyes closing slightly as his thoughts raced.
At present, he was a six-star Dou Zong. With the Fish Spirit Fruit and the energy from the Thunder Soul, he was confident he could advance to an even higher level.
By then, with the power of his Heavenly Thunder Body, he might not even need his trump card, the Black Gold Thunder Orb, to face off against a Dou Zun!
With a thought, Mo Yu summoned a fruit shaped like a golden fish into his palm.
As soon as the fruit appeared, the surrounding energy of heaven and earth began to stir violently, accompanied by an intense and alluring fragrance.
"Truly worthy of being called the Fish Spirit Fruit—it's indeed a wonder of nature."
Seeing this, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile. It was the first time since his rebirth that he had encountered such an extraordinary fruit capable of drawing even the energy of heaven and earth.
"Better to refine it first."
Casting a glance at the Nine Serene Spring below to ensure no unusual changes, Mo Yu exhaled slightly in relief. He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of lightning, enveloping the Fish Spirit Fruit within.
Though the fruit was meant to be absorbed directly, exercising caution was never a bad idea.
The refinement process continued for half an hour, and the Fish Spirit Fruit remained completely unaffected, as if the terrifying power of the lightning had no impact at all.
This refining persisted for about an hour before Mo Yu finally opened his eyes. He inhaled deeply, and the energy-filled lightning, along with the Fish Spirit Fruit, shot into his mouth like a streak of light.
"Boom!"
The moment the Fish Spirit Fruit entered his body, a bright gleam flashed in Mo Yu's silver eyes. A terrifying surge of energy erupted within him, shaking the nearby rocks until cracks began to spread across their surfaces.
For now, Mo Yu paid no attention to the outside world.
The energy of the Fish Spirit Fruit transformed into torrents of wild, uncontrollable power within his body, rampaging without restraint. The overflow of this energy was what caused the external shockwaves.
The energy contained in the Fish Spirit Fruit exceeded Mo Yu's expectations. It was so powerful that it could have caused a three-star Dou Zong to explode on the spot.
Fortunately, Mo Yu, despite being a six-star Dou Zong, had a strength that far surpassed his rank.
Though initially caught off guard by the changes in his body, Mo Yu quickly regained control, calming his mind and slowly gathering the chaotic energy within.
Under his near-perfect control, the rampaging energy gradually returned to his command.
With the refining power of his Thunder Soul, the energy softened and, bit by bit, fused into every part of his body.
"Phew…"
Sitting cross-legged on the rock, Mo Yu exhaled a dense stream of energy through his nose, which spiraled upward like a dragon before dissipating into the heavens.
